Land Values: Are They Nearing Their Top?Tweet
Has the pause button been pushed on the rapid ascent of farmland values? That may be a reasonable question when examining the recent trends throughout much of the Cornbelt, as recorded by the regional Federal Reserve Banks. Prices of good farmland are higher than last year, as reflected by the double-digit jumps in recent years. But when prices are compared to prior quarters, the increases are not as striking. Although it is a small sample, the beginning of a trend may be apparent.
Federal Reserve Bank economists have regularly been surveying commercial bankers throughout their service territory about farmland values, credit conditions, and other factors reflective of the farm economy. Within the Cornbelt, the primary Federal Reserve banks are headquartered in Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City.
The Chicago Fed's August Ag Letter indicates that for the second quarter of 2013, the value of "good" farmland was 17% higher than for the similar quarter of 2012. However, those values were steady, when the second quarter was compared to the first quarter of 2013. The data comes from a survey of 211 commercial bankers, and the last time the value of farmland was steady in the quarterly surveys was in 2009. What is even more telling is that the 7% of bankers who believe land prices will rise was offset by a similar 7% believing them to fall. The remaining 86% of bankers in the Chicago Fed District anticipate no change in land values from the second quarter to the third quarter of the year. The Chicago Fed serves the entire states of Iowa and Michigan, the northern two-thirds of Illinois and Indiana, the southeastern two-thirds of Wisconsin. Fed economist David Oppedahl said, "So, while the farmland values on a year-over-year basis still appeared to be soaring, changes in farmland values on a quarterly basis may be presaging shifts in the year-over-year pattern in the latter half of 2013." Additionally, he quoted one banker who said to look for land values to go down along with grain markets. And Oppedahl added, "The anticipation of lower crop revenues—especially when combined with potentially rising interest rates on farm loans—portended softness in future farmland values."
St. Louis
The St. Louis Federal Reserve District has published its quarterly survey and reports that land values in the mid-South are still rising. Serving portions of IL, IN, KY, TN, MS, AR, and MO, the St. Louis bank reports quality farmland values averaged $5,672 in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $5,111 in the first quarter of the year. While that is an 11% increase from quarter to quarter, it compares to a 20.6% increase when the second quarter of 2013 is compared to the second quarter of 2012. Fed economists in St. Louis, who surveyed commercial bankers for the land value data, also reported expectations for trends to continue. "A proportionately larger number of respondents expect quality farmland and ranch or pastureland land values to increase in the third quarter relative to a year earlier." The economists also noted that farm rental relationships may be moving toward more of a risk sharing arrangement due to economic uncertainties. They wrote, "Respondents expect quality farmland and ranch or pastureland cash rents to increase during the third quarter from a year earlier. However, anecdotal information collected from other sources suggests some shift in cash rents toward a variable or profit-sharing basis."
Kansas City
The Kansas City Federal Reserve District's latest report reflects higher land values, but underlying caution about what is around the corner. For irrigated cropland in the region that includes KS, NE, MO, and OK, prices were 25% higher than they were a year ago. At the same time non-irrigated cropland rose 18% in value, except in drought-weary regions were values were only 14% higher. The gains come even as farm income in many states is declining, in part due to reduced revenues for grain and losses in the beef market. The commercial bankers surveyed by the Kansas City Fed economists reported that values for land were higher due to the low interest rates and lack of debt within the agricultural community, but the levels for land values may have reached a peak. Most of the bankers told the Kansas City Fed that farmland values would remain where they are, and more of the survey respondents believed they have peaked. The bankers who believe land values will continue to rise are fewer in each of the surveys taken recently by the bank's economists. For those expecting a decline, that decline is less than 10%.
While land values are higher this year than last year, parts of the Cornbelt are seeing a more leveling of land values. There has been no widespread decline, and commercial bankers working with agriculture are not forecasting a decline. But surveys of those individuals are indicating a peak in land values is either occurring or may be occurring soon. The lower market for grain will have a significant impact on prices that are paid for farmland.

So much for Facebook (FB) nailing the IPO window shut. Palo Alto Networks (PANW) shot up more than 30% in its debut on the NYSE Friday morning. And Morgan Stanley (MS) was one of the underwriters!
Online travel site Kayak (KYAK) finally debuted Friday -- it was in the pipeline for years. Shares shot up nearly 30% -- and Morgan Stanley was also one of its underwriters. What's more, Kayak is listed on Nasdaq!
On Thursday, Five Below (FIVE) showed that maybe it deserves the FB ticker. The discount retailer catering to teens surged 55%. And late last month, cloud computing company ServiceNow (NOW) gained more than 30% on its first day of trading. Shares have held steady since then.
Related: The anti-Facebook: ServiceNow soars in IPO
All this shows that talk of the initial public offering market being broken in the wake of Facebook is a bit misguided. Sure, Facebook's botched deal exposed many cracks in the system. Morgan Stanley arguably pushed to sell too many shares at too high a price. And the Nasdaq (NDAQ) clearly was not ready to handle the deluge of orders that accompanied the most widely-anticipated IPO since Google (GOOG).
Still, the fate of any IPO is always subject to what's going on in the broader markets and economy. For some firms, going public doesn't make sense now. Guitar maker Fender was expected to sell stock this week. But on Thursday, the company went acoustic, pulling the plug on its IPO. The company cited the turmoil in Europe as a challenge.
But companies with an interesting story -- and not too much hype -- can still go public and do reasonably well. Five Below, for example, is profitable and posted a sales increase of more than 50% in its most recent fiscal year. Palo Alto, which competes with Cisco Systems (CSCO) and Juniper Networks (JNPR) in the network security market, reported that revenues more than doubled in the first nine months of this fiscal year. It also eked out a small net profit.>
And before Facebook's mid-May debacle, companies ranging from organic mac & cheese maker Annie's (BNNY) to Big Data tech firm Splunk (SPLK) and online reviews site Yelp (YELP) also made a big splash when they went public.
What Facebook taught us is not that it's a mistake to go public. It's a mistake to have the hubris to think that just because you have 900 million users, you can clearly justify a valuation of more than $100 billion -- especially when your growth is already starting to slow.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Paul R. La Monica. Other than Time Warner, the parent of CNNMoney, and Abbott Laboratories, La Monica does not own positions in any individual stocks.

A pair of separate crashes resulted in gridlock on the Tappan Zee Bridge span during the Monday morning commute on northbound I-87 heading toward Rockland.
The first crash blocked the left lane on the span. After that lane reopened, a new crash took out the right lane just before 8 a.m.
Delays of 30 minutes were the norm during the height of the morning commute.

At its awards gala in late September of this year, the Niagara County Builders Association honored Paul Game and his partners, William Game and George Grasser, for their vision and completion of the first "Traditional Neighborhood Development" in Western New York.
Sometimes referred to as "New Urbanism," TNDs are quaint, compact neighborhoods emphasizing community. The neighborhoods are generally home to wide sidewalks, houses with large front porches and are established in communities with a variety of walkable destinations.
Known as Gardens at Oxbow, the neighborhood's 6.5 acres sit between Mohawk Street and Oxbow Lane in the Village of Lewiston. The TND is comprised of 23 homes with a small pond at its core. It's just a short, three-block walk to the Village of Lewiston's Center Street, where one will find a plethora of locally owned and operated restaurants, shops and attractions.
Paul Game, vice president and builder at the Oxbow Development Corp., has been in the trade in the Niagara County area since 1978. He said he was thrilled for his and his partners' work to be recognized by the NCBA as a "Project of Honor."
Game emphasizes that, although some areas need to remain standard to qualify as a TND - traditional look, large porch - every exterior is different and he is more than willing to custom build according to a prospective client's wishes. He and his team can build custom homes to suit each and every client. Homes can be anywhere from 1,400 to 3,000 square feet with one, two or three or more bedrooms, single homes or duplexes. Accessory apartments are also available should a homeowner wish to accommodate the needs of a family member or rental tenant.
Other TND land use practices include hidden garages at the back of the homes and connective street patterns with no dead end streets for greater accessibility.
Grasser, president of the Oxbow Development Corp., is a retired real estate development attorney of 35 years and now heads the nonprofit organization Partners for a Livable Western New York, working to improve land use. He also plays a key role in new urbanism through the New Urban Society.
William Game serves as secretary/treasurer of the corporation at Oxbow. After a successful 36 years as owner of the Ziebart rustproofing franchise, and having retired from the Niagara Falls engineering and fire departments where he served for 27 years, Game and his wife built a home in the Gardens at Oxbow where they have been living since 2008.
Together, this team of three has decades of leadership and experience in building, engineering and real estate.

Will 2013 provide enough moisture to grow crops and fill the Mississippi River?Tweet
USDA's forecast for $4.80 corn and $10.50 soybeans as an average price for the 2013-14 marketing year may have shocked many people, just as did the forecast for a 14.5 billion bushel corn crop and a 3.4 billion bushel soybean crop. Both of those were a function of acreage, which is yet to be seen, and weather, which the USDA expects to be normal. And that is no surprise, since the estimate of normal weather is a policy when USDA makes projections. But will the weather be normal? And what do we know about that right now? But another big question is what about the Mississippi River?
The weather for the 2013 growing season will be one of the more anticipated aspects of the season. The lack of influence by either El Nino or La Nina leaves a great degree of uncertainty. Generally, El Nino will bring cooler and wetter weather for the Cornbelt and La Nina will bring warmer and drier weather. 2012 began as a function of La Nina in the spring and when the Equatorial sea surface temperatures warmed, La Nina faded away leaving the Cornbelt with neutral weather.
Neutral Weather for 2013
Neutral is what exists now in the Cornbelt and the Climate Prediction Center indicates that will last through the fall of 2013 at the least. There is no distinct trend toward an El Nino or a La Nina, as it would pertain to moisture. Spring will be warm, wet, and early in the eastern Cornbelt says IN Climatologist Dev Niyogi, based on the Climate Prediction Center's March to May outlook. But he is expecting more drought, and says, "This is expected to turn to some drying in the growing season, leading to mild to moderate drought conditions across Indiana." The CPC forecast covered WI to TN and east to OH. Drought recently has been eliminated in most of the eastern Cornbelt.
While the precipitation is undetermined, that leaves two question marks for Cornbelt farmers. One question is having sufficient moisture to produce a crop that will cover operational costs, and crop insurance can help to some extent with that. The other question is having enough water in the Mississippi River to maintain sufficient depths to transport grain to Gulf export terminals. That issue has been a significant challenge since November when flows from the Missouri River were restricted. But the question for the spring and summer will be whether there will be enough moisture in the Missouri River watershed to produce enough runoff for creeks, streams, and tributaries to fill up the Missouri River, and provide water to the Mississippi.
Mississippi and Missouri Rivers
Meteorologist Steve Buan of NOAA' North Central River forecast Center recently reported to Congress there were reduced chances for spring snowmelt flooding, and there was a reduced chance for overall significant spring rise in river levels. He also said there is a 40% chance to have fall 2013 flows as low or lower than last year.
During the past 3 months the mid-Mississippi was kept open without added flow of water from the Missouri River, which many farm groups and grain exporters pleaded for last fall. High level Corps decisions kept the Missouri flow reduced as reservoirs in that watershed are replenished. However, that may not be a quick process, based on the Drought Monitor and drought projections by NOAA and the National Weather Service. The center of the drought is focused in the Missouri River watershed. This implies that the Missouri may be unable to provide water to the Mississippi River during 2013 because of the need to manage reservoirs and any rains will be more likely to be absorbed into the soil, rather than fill streams and ultimately the Missouri River.
OK for now
Although dredging has ended on the mid-Mississippi River between St. Louis and Cairo, work continues by contractors to remove rocks in the barge channel as conditions permit. But higher water levels have prevented daily work, while barges and tows benefit from deeper drafts. The Army Corps of Engineers says there were no reported groundings of barges during the extensive effort to keep the barge traffic flowing despite the rocky shoals. Farmers who may have been upset with the Corps' 2011 decision to blow up the Birds Point Levee and flood 120,000 acres of farmland, can thank the same folks who responded to the low water and expedited the rock removal to keep grain barges moving southward to Gulf export terminals. That was accomplished with no additional funds added to the budget. Agriculture has likely gained a greater respect for those who job it is to manage a river. That is quite a task when you think about it.
Weather forecasts for the 2013 cropping season indicate the lack of weather patterns that will dominate the delivery of moisture for crop production. However, the Missouri River Watershed is currently in an exceptional drought, and the water from the Missouri is needed for maintenance of river depths on the Mississippi for normal barge operations. Under current forecasts, chances are strong that low water on the Mississippi will last through next fall.

In What Cities Do People Spend the Most on Their Pets?
Sometimes we do not treat our pets as well as we should. Pet owners all across the world have been guilty at one point or another for cutting corners on pet food and other supplies as a means to making pet ownership a little more cost friendly.
However, people living in Arizona seem to really know how to treat their furry friends. Four cities from the state ranked within the top 10 cities with the highest average spending on pets, according to a recent analysis of transactions by the analysis firm Bundle.
The report finds that Scottsdale, Arizona has the highest average spending on pets, at nearly $50 per month. The people of Durham, North Carolina ranked second, spending nearly $40 per month.
Cities in Texas, Virginia, Colorado, and Tennessee were all among those who spent the most on their pets.
According to figures from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, basic expenses such as food and medical for a medium sized dog can cost approximately $695 a year, and even a cat can cost its owner nearly $670 per year.
Americans are expected to spend nearly $53 billion on their pets in 2012, up from almost $49 billion in 2010.
The ASPCA adds that if you're looking for a pet that doesn't cost a fortune to care for, you should look into getting a fish.
The 10 Best Cities for Pets
1. Scottsdale, Arizona – $47.88 per month
2. Durham, North Carolina – $38.13
3. Tucson, Arizona – $36.50
4. Chandler, Arizona – $35.88

Western Republican lawmakers and governors are up in arms over the Obama administration's plan to consider whether millions of acres of federal land in the West should be protected as "wild lands."
Their outrage is setting the stage for a new round of the "sagebrush rebellion" over land use in the West – a battle that could have repercussions for Election 2012.
The Obama administration's plan would require federal agencies to manage such land primarily to preserve its wilderness characteristics – which could mean restrictions on commercial uses, including oil and gas development as well as motorized recreation. In essence, the new thrust reverses a 2003 Bush administration policy opening up federal land to more extractive uses.
In congressional testimony this week, Rep. Denny Rehberg of Montana called it a "war on the West."
Noting that royalties from mineral development help pay for public schools, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, said, "This order hinders rural economic development and hurts key funding sources for Utah's school children."
Idaho Gov. Butch Otter urged Congress to "take back its authority" and block the new policy. (Under the Wilderness Act of 1964, only Congress can officially designate "wilderness" – areas "where the earth and community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.")
The point of contention is Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's order in December that the Bureau of Land Management (which oversees some 245 million acres, most of it in the West) should regularly inventory its lands, factoring in wild characteristics when making land-use decisions.
The idea, according to the Interior Department, is to "restore balance and clarity to the management of public lands by establishing common-sense policy for the protection of backcountry areas where Americans recreate, find solitude, and enjoy the wild."
"Wild lands" would be designated after gathering public input, and unlike "wilderness" they could be given more (or less) protection without an act of Congress.
Old West vs. new West
The balance between environmental preservation and the use of natural resources – mining, logging, cattle grazing, oil and gas drilling, water – has been part of western history for a century or more, particularly since so much of the region is managed by federal agencies such as the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service.
The doctrine of "multiple use," in place for decades, has virtually guaranteed that federal land management would be controversial and contentious. In some Western states, government agencies are in charge of most of the territory – Nevada (76 percent), Utah (70 percent), and Idaho (61 percent).
Over time, the issue has developed into conflict between the "old West" of ranching and mining and the "new West" increasingly populated by vacationers, retirees from urban areas, and those who work in fields such as high-tech development, finance, real estate, and media. Sometimes it erupts into a "sagebrush rebellion" as rural areas, economic interests, and state and local officials butt heads with federal agencies.
That's where things are headed now in a way that could impact next year's elections.
"If you make enough noise and clamor about this huge land grab, and Obama allows Interior Secretary Salazar to go ahead and designate the Wild Lands, it will make your Democrat Senators and Congressmen look weak and ineffective," writes Chuck Cushman of the American Land Rights Association in an e-mail to supporters. "That will help you defeat them in November 2012. Many are already vulnerable and will not be eager to get the credit for creating more Federal land set asides and hurting their local governments."
Who likes the plan
While they were happy to see an end to the Bush administration, many environmentalists have not been thrilled with President Obama. Green issues have not been a top priority for him, and they saw in Secretary Salazar (a former US senator from Colorado) an official apparently enthusiastic about developing domestic resources as a way toward energy independence.
That could be changing with Salazar's latest action.
"This new policy is our best shot at protecting many lands that we have fought to defend from degradation and abuse during the Bush administration," Juli Slivka of the Wilderness Society writes on the organization's website.
"In the five Rocky Mountain states with the most oil and gas development," she points out, "one percent of land managed by the BLM is designated Wilderness, while 42 percent of the BLM's land is leased to the oil and gas industry."
Outfitters and recreation businesses also like the new policy.
In a letter to Congress this week, a group of business owners from six Western states cite research by the Outdoor Industry Association showing that "rural counties with wilderness or other protected federal lands experience greater economic and population growth than those without wilderness."

Why would you have natural childbirth? Why would you want to feel all that pain? You wouldn't get a tooth pulled without drugs, why would you give birth without drugs?
Not a perfect comparison
Why? Think back to when you were little kid and your teeth fell out on their own.
Did you need anesthesia for that? No, it may have hurt a little, but it wasn't agonizing. Why? It wasn't horrible, because your teeth were meant to fall out!
But it can be a powerful analogy when you look at it this way…
Mind Shift – Dental Work and Hypnosis
Well, I had a huge mind shift when I saw videos of people getting dental work without drugs using hypnosis! There was a man getting a root canal without drugs? Wasn't he in agony? NO! He felt totally comfortable.
A woman getting her front teeth pulled and implants put in, all without anesthesia. Was she freaking out? No, but I was freaking out just watching her! It made my teeth ache just to watch.
Right there shows the incredible power of our mind! If my teeth can hurt just watching her, then can our mind be powerful enough to create pressure, where there is usually pain?
This leads me to the question:
If hypnosis can work for dental surgery, can it work for birth?
Yes it can! And it works even easier than for teeth. Why? Remember birth is a natural process and dental surgery isn't.
Do you think your body is made to give birth? Yes, a mom's body knows just how to give birth. It is a matter of our minds and fears getting out of its way!
Did you know that your uterus has 2 opposing muscles in it? The inner horizontal muscles hold your cervix closed and the outer vertical muscles help to open your cervix.
All mammals uterus are like this, because it helps them escape from predators. If you were a gazelle giving birth and suddenly a lion snuck up on you, your body needs a way to stop birth.
The fight flight hormone (adrenaline) causes the inner horizontal muscles to stop your cervix from opening. When the two muscles are fighting against each other it causes pain.
But if a mom can let go of her fears and stay deeply relaxed then her birthing muscles can work in harmony and birthing comfortably is possible. When you add the power of medical grade hypnosis on top of your body's natural ability to birth, then you have an amazing recipe for an Enjoyable Birth!
Staying comfortable with no medication!
Wait a minute you say! I have tons of fears about birth! How am I going to let them go? Luckily hypnosis can help with that as well. (more on that in a moment)
I wanted to have the benefits of natural childbirth.
- Freedom of movement
- No catheter
- No drugs
- Easier Pushing
- Amazing hormones
- Better for baby!
BUT I didn't want the pain. So I tried hypnosis for childbirth with my last two births.
My 1st birth using hypnosis
My first birth had been an emergency cesarean, so I had a lot of fear lingering from that experience when I got pregnant with my 2nd baby. The program I used was…
•More Guided Relaxation than Hypnosis
–Gave me confidence and helped me let go of my fears.
–I didn't have enough tools so I lost focus
–I chose to get an epidural (remember I didn't want pain)
–Great Birth for me – my goal was a VBAC
–The program was helpful and I was glad I used it.
My 2nd birth using hypnosis
For my next birth I looked for a more complete childbirth hypnosis program. I knew that hypnosis could work for birth, but I needed more tools. I wanted deeper hypnosis, more tools and a CD especially for my birthing day. I found all that I wanted in Hypnobabies.
- Medical Grade Hypnosis
– Like Dentist's patients
– Lots of CD's including Fear Release
– Cues to enter hypnosis instantly and deepen
– CD just for Birthing Day!
- Childbirth Information
– How birth works (where I learned about amazing uterus)
– Staying Low Risk
– Choices during birth
Did it work? See for yourself.
It worked beautifully. I was able to stay calm and focused for all 18 hours of my birth. I felt pressure and it was pretty intense the last hour, but it wasn't painful, just powerful!
So indeed Hypnosis can help moms have comfortable childbirth!
Want to Avoid Pain?
If your main reason for avoiding Natural Childbirth is to avoid pain, then check into Hypnobabies. You can discover the power of your body and mind to create a comfortable natural childbirth.
Still want an Epidural?
If you are the type of mom who says sign me up for the epidural in the parking lot, then check into Hypnobabies. Then you will have the tools to stay comfortable from the time your birth begins until whenever you decide to get the epidural. Why have discomfort walking from the parking lot to the hospital and waiting for your epidural if you don't have to? (Not to mention, getting an epidural is not guaranteed! It is great to have other tools ready to use just in case!)
Want help dealing with Fears?
If you want some tools to help you deal with your fears regarding birth, then check into Hypnobabies. I think almost all moms today have some fears regarding birth, because we are bombarded by negative information regarding birth from the television, our friends and family. With Hypnobabies you are able to create a Bubble of Peace to keep all that negativity out. There is also a Fear Release CD to help you release your fears.
Just want to sleep better?
If you think this is totally nuts, but want to sleep better during your pregnancy and feel more relaxed about being pregnant and birth, then check into Hypnobabies. I ended up loving Hypnobabies so much, I became a Hypnobabies instructor. My best friend was pregnant at the time, so she took my class just because I needed a guinea pig to practice on. She never thought it would work. She only listened to the CDs because they helped her sleep better at night and she loved how confident she felt about her upcoming birth. (She had a cesarean with her first baby and was planning on a VBAC.) But still didn't think it would work when her birth started, but was thrilled when it did! She had a comfortable un-medicated VBAC. She said that even if it hadn't of worked for her birth, she still would have been happy she used it because of the relaxation and confidence it gave her.
Comfortable Childbirth using Hypnobabies!
Why would you have natural childbirth? Why would you want to feel all that pain? Well, I didn't want the pain. But I wanted the natural childbirth and with Hypnobabies I was able to have natural childbirth comfortably!

Where I wore it: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, and back again with some substitutions...
The next time I go on vacation, will someone please remind me that I don't need to pack anything but cut offs, sandals, and a few tops? Despite being excellent at doling out packing advice, I'm terrible at taking it, I was delusional enough to think that I would wear dresses on a trip that involved a good bit of carousing, scrambling, hiking, and messing around. Unrealistic. Comfort is king. Remember that, self.
Rather than breaking this up into a bunch of little posts, I'm doing this all at once, like ripping off a band-aid. Because, I want to go back now please. Ten days spent in all of my favorite places, with all of my favorite people wasn't nearly enough time:
In the weeks leading up to our trip, something that I had become acutely aware of was how much I missed walking into a cafe or bar- or even just walking down the street- and seeing familiar faces, whether it be the face of an old friend or simply a face I had seen in passing a million times. I know this unfamiliarity is to be expected when you move to a new place (it would be completely insane to not expect that, right?), but even so, being consistently surrounded by strangers can take its toll, bum you out. Back in Beverly, I was home again. In less than 24 hours, we ran into almost every single person we knew there: old landlords, coworkers, college friends, Northshore friends, friends of friends, random strangers that I had passed on the street 1,000 times before and considered friends. It was the perfect way to begin a vacation that centered around us reuniting with everyone we love, all over New England.
From Beverly, we moved on to New Hampshire and Maine to finally see our families after a very long seven months. Before doing so, however, we made a stop at the Friendly Toast in Portsmouth, NH. Because, along with missing our people, we missed our old haunts too. This trip was a food fest, let me tell you.
In the interest of avoiding a what I did on my summer vacation-style novel, I'll paraphrase the rest: breakfast in Belfast, a visit to the Maine State Prison Showroom in Thomaston, all my favorite thrift stores, four bonfires, too much wine, too many s'mores, swimming-holes, two barbeques, one hike around Black Point, one much needed ferry ride, not enough time with the ocean, never enough time with family.
It was incredibly painful to leave, and I'll admit, there were tears. But this trip also made me realize that, not only do I need to make more of an effort to call friends and family on a regular basis, but I also need to be making more of an effort to get to know our new home, to enjoy it.
In total we drove over 2,500 miles in ten days.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The top-10 battle between No. 6 MIT and No. 7 Amherst lived up to its billing this afternoon at the Zesiger Center on the MIT campus. With a dramatic victory in the final event, the 400 Free Relay, MIT came out on top by a score of 153-144. With the victory, MIT improved its dual meet record to 8-0 this season.
Coming into the final relay the score was knotted at 140-140, freshman Michelle Cunningham (Wayland, Mass.) led off the relay for MIT and put the Engineers on top by a half second with her 53.93 first leg. But Amherst battled back, taking a slight lead as sophomore Christy Rogers (Bend, Ore.) hit the water for the anchor leg. It came right down to the wire as Rogers just out touched Amherst's Katie Vincett by 0.04 seconds to give MIT the win.
Junior Anna Kokensparger (Omaha, Neb.) was the only MIT swimmer to win multiple individual events, taking three victories for the Engineers. Her first came in the 200 Fly, in which she clocked a 2:07.75. She then came back late in the meet to take the 100 Fly as well, turning in a time of 57.43, finishing with a win in the 200 IM, touching the wall in 2:08.88. Kokensparger was also part of the victorious 200 Medley Relay that started off the meet with a 1:47.42 winning time.
Sophomore Calley Murphy (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) picked up a key win in the 100 Breast, turning in her second-best time of her career with a 1:06.89. Individually, Rogers started her day with a second-place in the 100 back and then led a key 1-2-3 MIT finish in the 200 Back with an effort of 2:06.02. Sophomore Katelyn Rossick (Middletown, Md.) and freshman Jane He (Yardley, Pa.) completed the key sweep of the top three spots for the Engineers.
He turned in a strong day for MIT, going under the one-minute mark in the 100 Back and picking up a clutch fourth-place finish in the 200 IM with a season best time of 2:14.67.
In the diving events junior Elise Stave (Chapel Hill, N.C.) took second in both the one and three-meter competitions, with sophomore Mia Stevens (Lakewood, N.Y.) edging out Claire Wagner from Amherst by a point for third in the three-meter competition.
MIT will close out the regular season next week with an appearance at the Wheaton Invitational where diving will take place on Feb. 3 at 6:00 p.m. and swimming events on Feb. 4 starting at Noon.

Habitat and AdaptationCommon caiman (Caiman crocodilus), also called Narrow-snouted spectacled caiman. French Guiana.
Habitat and Adaptation
© WWF / Roger LeGuen
Every organism has a unique ecosystem within which it lives. This ecosystem is its natural habitat. This is where the basic needs of the organism to survive are met: food, water, shelter from the weather and place to breed its young. All organisms need to adapt to their habitat to be able to survive.
This means adapting to be able to survive the climatic conditions of the ecosystem, predators, and other species that compete for the same food and space. An adaptation is a modification or change in the organism's body or behaviour that helps it to survive. Explore the links given here to know more about habitats and how different plants and animals.
An animal may adapt to its habitat in different ways. It may be a physical or structural adaptation, just as the limbs of birds have modified into wings or the way the cheetah is shaped for running at a fast speed.
It may be in the way the body works in circulating and respiration, for instance the gills that fish have enable them to breathe in water. Or it may be the way the animal behaves whether it is hunting for food, or running fast to avoid predators or migrating to other places for food or survival. To know more about different types of adaptations visit the link.
An animal's environment consists of many different things. The climate, the kinds of food plants that grow in it, other animals that may be predators or competitors- the animal must learn to adapt to each of these factors in order to survive. With increasing population growth and human activity that disturbs the natural habitat, animals must learn to adapt to these kind of threats as well.
Animals in the wild can only live in places they are adapted to. They must have the right kind of habitat where they can find the food and space they need. Visit the link for a brief overview of how animals adapt to their habitat.
Did you know that animals camouflage themselves so they can adapt to their environment? Adaptation can protect animals from predators or from harsh weather. Many birds can hide in the tall grass and weeds and insects can change their colour to blend into the surroundings. This makes it difficult for predators to seek them out for food.
Some animals, like the apple snail, can survive in different ecosystems- from swamps, ditches and ponds to lakes and rivers. It has a lung/gills combination that reflects its adaptation to habitats with oxygen poor water. This is often the case in swamps and shallow waters. To know more about how the apple snail can survive in different habitats visit the link.
In the harsh cold climate of Alaska, the animals have learnt to adapt to the weather by storing food in their body and protecting themselves from the cold with thick furs. Human inhabitants in Alaska have also learnt to cope with the environment by building shelters that insulate and hold the heat, and yet do not allow the structure to melt.

MACON, Ga. - Lipscomb's Garret Pettis speared the offense with three goals to win his first Player of the Week award. On the defensive side, Aaron Johnson allowed only one goal to lead the Camels to a 4-0 mark in conference play to win his second Defensive Player of the Week award, the conference office announced on Monday.
The senior goalkeeper allowed only one goal in two games as the Camels ran their win streak to four, all against conference opponents. The St. Charles, Mo., native had six saves in his third shutout of the year, a 3-0 blanking of UNF, then had four stops in Campbell's 2-1 win over Jacksonville in a battle of league unbeatens. For the season he has started 11 games, played 1,002 minutes, has three shutouts and a 1.08 GAA.
Pettis, the freshmen forward, scored three goals this weekend as the Bisons beat ETSU 2-1 and USC Upstate 4-1. He scored two in the Upstate win. The Elizabethtown, Pa., native leads the A-Sun in goals (8) and points (17).
The Bisons and Fighting Camels will face off at Eakes Athletic Complex on Thursday. Both teams are unbeaten in A-Sun play.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life. The A-Sun stands for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas, with a focus on the balance between the two for our student-athletes. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun boasts six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast.

In our fifth and final installment of Tree Classics Christmas in July, we give you two easy steps (plus lots of quick tips!) for hosting an amazing milk and cookies party to keep the yuletide spirit alive. You don't have to wait for Santa to come down the chimney just to enjoy these oven-fresh delights. Gather friends and family this summer for one unforgettable holiday!
Step 1: Bake the Cookies with Your Friends and Family
Let's face it. It's more fun to bake when you have friends and family helping you out in the kitchen. It's also the perfect excuse to try out a tiny pinch of your favorite mouthwatering cookie dough!
Line up the ingredients for your selection of baked goodies and give each baker a corner in your work station. Whip up a batch of the classic chocolate chip cookies using red and green candy morsels or, for the more advanced bakers, a batch of stained glass sugar cookies with a colorful Jolly Rancher center.
QUICK TIP: Don't forget the cookie cutters and stamps! Make your guests feel right at home by letting them take part in baking goodies with sweet and thoughtful holiday greetings they can exchange with one another.
Another great thing about cookie parties is that everyone can garnish their cookies their own way. For Christmas in July, have red, green, and yellow candy sprinkles, gumdrops, and crushed candy canes ready for your happy helpers to lavish on their baked goodies.
Step 2: Serve Up Ice Cold Milk
While waiting for your cookies to bake, you can start serving ice cold milk to your kitchen helpers! Kick off your summer Christmas party with various flavors of milk, such as chocolate and strawberry, and for the figure- and health-conscious, a serving of low-fat and lactose-free milk from your very own milk bar.
QUICK TIP: Instead of using the usual pitcher and glass, fill old-fashioned bottles to add a vintage feel to your summer Christmas party. These wonderful glass bottles can be used later on as a quaint flower vase or container for your trinkets. You can also fill the bottles three hours before the celebration and place them in the chiller. When it's time for the party, you'll have your cool drink ready to be paired with your oven-fresh cookies!
For friends and family who can't get enough of those delicious cookies, you can give them extra treats packed in these lovely antique-styled French canning jars. They make classy take-home gifts and nifty containers for other baking ingredients.
Tree Classics' Recommended Treats:
1. Classic Cookie Recipes
A Christmas milk and cookies party in the middle of summer should serve fun and unique treats. This New York Times favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and these colorful Oreo cookie pops are sure to make your celebration all the more special.

Business leaders have long made data-based decisions. But that practice typically requires a person interpreting data and manually adjusting related processes. Now, that is changing.
Machine-reengineering applies machine-learning techniques to processes, which are adjusted automatically. As a result, technology enables artificial intelligence to reengineer business processes, such as sales, procurement or logistics.
In this episode of Up Close, Jim Wilson, managing director, Information Technology and Business Research at Accenture's Institute for High Performance, explains how to prepare employees for AI-powered machine-reengineering.

Brian Staskawicz
Brian J. Staskawicz was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1952. He received a B.A. degree from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, in 1974, a Master of Forest Science degree from Yale University in 1976, and a Ph.D. degree in plant pathology from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1980. After three years at the International Plant Research Institute, in San Carlos, California, he was appointed to the faculty of U.C. Berkeley, where he is now the Maxine J. Elliot Professor and chair of the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology.
Dr. Staskawicz and Noel Keen were long-time friends and collaborated on several pioneering contributions to our understanding of plant resistance to pathogens. In 1984, they cloned the first avr gene from Pseudomonas and transferred it to virulent bacteria to elicit a race-specific incompatibility resistance response in soybean, providing the first molecular evidence in support of the "gene-for-gene" hypothesis for plant-pathogen resistance responses. Other seminal contributions from these early studies demonstrated that avirulence genes may condition important bacterial virulence traits and revealed a molecular mechanism for the evasion of plant host defenses when virulent mutants emerge from avirulent pathogen populations.
Dr. Staskawicz has also been in the forefront of research on plant resistance genes. He pioneered several genetic approaches that exploit natural variants in disease resistance in host populations for map-based cloning strategies and mutagenesis analyses. These combined approaches have facilitated the mapping of genes for altered disease resistance phenotypes and the identification and dissection of recognition and signal transduction pathways, culminating in the isolation and characterization of several components of plant cell death signaling pathways that are activated upon recognition of avirulence genes. Gene transfer experiments have shown that resistance genes transferred across genera retain their function and specificity. This finding should enable the identification of resistance pathways that are common to a wide range of crops and have a major impact on future plant breeding practices. Dr. Staskawicz also pioneered the use of Arabidopsis as a tool for fundamental studies of plant–pathogen interactions, leading to new models to elucidate the mechanisms whereby avirulence and resistance genes and their products interact to evoke hypersensitive resistance.
Dr. Staskawicz has received the United States Department of Agriculture Honors Award and the Ruth Allen Award. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of The American Phytopathological Society and the American Society for Microbiology. Many of these honors were also bestowed on Noel Keen in recognition of the research arising from their shared and individual efforts. Recognition of Dr. Brian Staskawicz as a recipient of the Noel T. Keen Award is based in part on this collaborative work and in part on his independent research, which together have been instrumental in leading us to a new era in plant pathology. His more recent breakthroughs promise to yield even greater insights into the molecular signaling that occurs during the response of plants to pathogens. Not only can we expect a clearer understanding of the molecular basis of gene-for-gene disease resistance, but in the near future this work should contribute to practical efforts to improve disease control by engineering broadspectrum resistance into important crop plants.
