(n) In the event that eComLeads or a Client receives a complaint from any recipient of an offer transmitted by Publisher, upon our request, Publisher will immediately provide eComLeads with appropriate records verifying that recipient's consent to receive email transmissions from Publisher. Such records include, but may not necessarily be limited to, the Internet address of Publishers opt-in/opt-out web site, the date of the recipient's action and Publishers privacy policy.

Keith Lyman's luggage tag stared down from the bottom side of the upper bunk. Randall chuckled to himself as the soft whir from the A/C blowing through the window was the only disruption as he lay there enjoying the serenity of the tiny trailer he had commandeered for the weekend. Apparently big air and abuse of their joints are not the only things these two wakeboarding legends have in common. A penchant for privacy is also a trait they share. That's why I wasn't surprised when Randall asked to forego luxuries like a bathroom and kitchen and stay in our little guest trailer rather than stay in the main house. Keith had made the same request when he was down shooting for Global Warning a few years ago. That left Chad with a bedroom all to himself as we kicked off June somewhere south of the border with the intention to get some photos and video of these two thirty-something riders. Although conditions were a little breezy when we arrived in the early afternoon, it was as if the wind and sun were working in tandem to come together with perfect conditions for that evening. The next morning was no different as these two professionals made it up bright and early to get some "work" in. With evidence still present from the 7.2 earthquake centered at this location two years ago, we did our best to get a few shots with the rubble in the background. Photographer Randy Murray even took the boys down to a dwelling that had gotten the short end of the stick from Mother Earth for some lifestyle photography. Cracked walls, broken glass and eight-foot fluorescent lights make for some good pics! There's nothing quite like a lazy photo shoot weekend with plenty of gaps between shooting for naps, cornhole (bag toss), visits to the local restaurant and cantina, exploring behind the wheel /handlebars of any one of the beat down vehicles you can find in the garage and even a visit to the local village. The best part is that we could all say we were working that weekend! Enjoy the fruits of our labor below. We'll call this Randall & Chad in Mexico Part I since we still have some video to edit. Stay tuned for Randall & Chad in Mexico Part II.

An agreement effective November 1, 1993, between the United States and Luxembourg improves Social Security protection for people who work or have worked in both countries. It helps many people who, without the agreement, would not be eligible for monthly retirement, disability or survivors benefits under the Social Security system of one or both countries. It also helps people who would otherwise have to pay Social Security taxes to both countries on the same earnings.
The agreement covers Social Security taxes (including the U.S. Medicare portion) and Social Security retirement, disability and survivors insurance benefits. It doesn't cover benefits under the U.S. Medicare program or the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.
This document covers highlights of the agreement and explains how it may help you while you work and when you apply for benefits.
The agreement may help you, your family and your employer
- While you work––If your work is covered by both the U.S. and Luxembourg Social Security systems, you (and your employer, if you are employed) would normally have to pay Social Security taxes to both countries for the same work. However, the agreement eliminates this double coverage so you pay taxes to only one system (see the section on "Coverage and Social Security taxes").
- When you apply for benefits––You may have some Social Security credits in both the U.S. and Luxembourg but not have enough to be eligible for benefits in one country or the other. The agreement makes it easier to qualify for benefits by letting you add together your Social Security credits in both countries. For more details, see the section on "Monthly benefits".
Coverage and Social Security taxes
Before the agreement, employees, employers and self-employed people could, under certain circumstances, be required to pay Social Security taxes to both the United States and Luxembourg for the same work.
Under the agreement, if you work as an employee in the United States, you normally will be covered by the United States, and you and your employer will pay Social Security taxes only to the United States. If you work as an employee in Luxembourg, you normally will be covered by Luxembourg, and you and your employer pay Social Security taxes only to Luxembourg.
On the other hand, if your employer sends you from one country to work for that employer or an affiliate in the other country for five years or less, you will continue to be covered by your home country and you will be exempt from coverage in the other country. For example, if a U.S. company sends an employee to work for that employer or an affiliate in Luxembourg for no more than five years, the employer and the employee will continue to pay only U.S. Social Security taxes and will not have to pay in Luxembourg.
If you are self-employed and reside in the United States or Luxembourg, you generally will be covered and taxed only by the country where you reside.
In addition to old-age, retirement, survivors and disability benefits, Luxembourg Social Security taxes cover several other programs including sickness and workers' compensation insurance as well as family allowances. As a result, workers exempted from Luxembourg Social Security coverage by the agreement pay no Social Security taxes for these programs and generally cannot receive benefits from them. If the agreement exempts you from Luxembourg coverage, you and your employer may wish to arrange for alternative benefit protection.
Summary of agreement rules
The following table shows whether your work is covered under the U.S. or Luxembourg Social Security system. If you are covered under U.S. Social Security, you and your employer (if you are an employee) must pay U.S. Social Security taxes. If you are covered under the Luxembourg system, you and your employer (if you are an employee) must pay Luxembourg Social Security taxes. "Certificate of coverage" section explains how to get a form from the country where you are covered that will prove you are exempt in the other country.
Coverage and taxes

|For a U.S. employer who:
For a non-U.S. employer

|If this table doesn't seem to describe your situation and you are:
Write to the U.S. address in "Certificates for employees" section for further information.
Write to the Luxembourg address in "For more information" section for further information.
As the table indicates, a U.S. worker employed in Luxembourg can be covered by U.S. Social Security only if he or she works for a U.S. employer. A U.S. employer includes a corporation organized under the laws of the United States or any state, a partnership if at least two-thirds of the partners are U.S. residents, an individual who is a resident of the U.S. or a trust if all the trustees are U.S. residents. The term also includes a foreign affiliate of a U.S. employer if the U.S. employer has entered into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service under section 3121(l) of the Internal Revenue Code to pay Social Security taxes for U.S. citizens and residents employed by the affiliate.
Certificate of coverage
A certificate of coverage issued by one country serves as proof of exemption from Social Security taxes on the same earnings in the other country.
Certificates for employees
To establish an exemption from compulsory coverage and taxes under the Luxembourg system, your employer must request a certificate of coverage (form USA/LUX 1) from the U.S. at this address:
Social Security Administration
Office of International Programs
P.O. Box 17741
Baltimore, Maryland 21235-7741
If preferred, the request may be sent by FAX to (410) 966-1861. Please note this FAX number should only be used to request certificates of coverage.
No special form is required to request a certificate but the request must be in writing and provide the following information:
- Full name of worker (including maiden name for married woman);
- Date and place of birth;
- Citizenship;
- Country of worker's permanent residence;
- U.S. Social Security number;
- Date of hire;
- Country of hire;
- Name and address of the employer in the U.S. and Luxembourg; and
- Date of transfer and anticipated date of return.
In addition, your employer must indicate if you remain an employee of the U.S. company while working in Luxembourg or if you become an employee of the U.S. company's affiliate in Luxembourg. If you become an employee of an affiliate, your employer must indicate if the U.S. company has an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service under section 3121(l) of the Internal Revenue Code to pay U.S. Social Security taxes for U.S. citizens and residents employed by the affiliate and, if yes, the effective date of the agreement.
Your employer can also request a certificate of U.S. coverage for you over the Internet using a special online request form available at opts.ssa.gov.
To establish your exemption from coverage under the U.S. Social Security system, your employer in Luxembourg must request a certificate of coverage (form LUX/USA 1) from Luxembourg at this address:
Centre Commun de la Sécurité Sociale
Département affiliation
L-2975 Luxembourg
The same information required for a certificate of coverage from the United States is needed to get a certificate from Luxembourg except that you must show your maiden name, if you are a married woman, and your Luxembourg Social Security number rather than your U.S. Social Security number.
Certificates for self-employed people
If you are self-employed and would normally have to pay Social Security taxes to both the U.S. and Luxembourg systems, you can establish your exemption from one of the taxes by writing to:
- If you reside in the United States, you can request a certificate of U.S. coverage online at opts.ssa.gov or write to the Social Security Administration at the address above.
- if you reside in Luxembourg, the Centre Commun de la Sécurité Sociale at the address in "Certificates for employees" section.
Be sure to provide the following information in your letter:
- Full name (including maiden name for married woman);
- Date and place of birth;
- Citizenship;
- Country of permanent residence;
- U.S. and/or Luxembourg Social Security number;
- Nature of self-employment activity;
- Dates the activity was or will be performed; and
- Name and address of your trade or business in both countries.
Effective date of coverage exemption
The certificate of coverage you receive from one country will show the effective date of your exemption from paying Social Security taxes in the other country. Generally, this will be the date you began working in the other country.
Certificates of coverage issued by Luxembourg should be retained by the employer in the United States in case of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). No copies should be sent to IRS unless specifically requested by IRS. However, a self-employed individual must attach a photocopy of the certificate to his or her income tax return each year as proof of the U.S. exemption.
Copies of certificates of coverage issued by the United States will be provided for both the employee and the employer. It will be their responsibility to present the certificate to the Luxembourg authorities when requested to do so. To avoid any difficulties, your employer (or you, if you are self-employed) should request a certificate as early as possible, preferably before your work in the other country begins.
If you or your employer request a certificate of coverage, you should read the Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Statements below.
Authority to collect information for a certificate of coverage
Privacy Act
The Privacy Act requires us to notify you that we are authorized to collect this information by section 233 of the Social Security Act. While it is not mandatory for you to furnish the information to the Social Security Administration (SSA), a certificate of coverage cannot be issued unless a request has been received. The information is needed to enable SSA to determine if work should be covered only under the U.S. Social Security system in accordance with an international agreement. Without the certificate, work may be subject to taxation under both the U.S. and the foreign Social Security systems.
Paperwork Reduction Act Notice
This information collection meets the clearance requirements of 44 U.S.C. section 3507, as amended by section 2 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. You are not required to answer these questions unless we display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. We estimate that it will take you about 30 minutes to read the instructions, gather the necessary facts, and write down the information to request a certificate of coverage.
Monthly benefits
The following table shows the various types of Social Security benefits payable under the U.S. and Luxembourg Social Security systems and briefly describes the eligibility requirements that normally apply for each type of benefit. If you don't meet the normal requirements for these benefits, the agreement may help you to qualify (see "How benefits can be paid" section).
This table is only a general guide. You can get more specific information about U.S. benefits here on our web site or at any U.S. Social Security office. You can get more detailed information about the Luxembourg system by writing to the Luxembourg address in "For more information" section or by visiting the Luxembourg Social Security system website at www.mss.public.lu/.
Under U.S. Social Security, you may earn up to four credits each year depending on the amount of your covered earnings. For example, in 2005, you get one credit for each $920 of your covered annual earnings up to a maximum of four credits for the year. Under the Luxembourg system, credits are measured in months. To simplify the information in the table, requirements are shown in years of credits.
Monthly benefits and eligibility requirements

How benefits can be paid
If you have Social Security credits in both the United States and Luxembourg, you may be eligible for benefits from one or both countries. If you meet all the basic requirements under one country's system, you will get a regular benefit from that country. If you don't meet the basic requirements, the agreement may help you qualify for a benefit as explained below.
- Benefits from the U.S.––If you don't have enough work credits under the U.S. system to qualify for regular benefits, you may be able to qualify for a partial benefit from the United States based on both U.S. and Luxembourg credits. However, to be eligible to have your Luxembourg credits counted, you must have earned at least six credits (generally one and one-half years of work) under the U.S. system. If you already have enough credits under the U.S. system to qualify for a benefit, the United States cannot count your Luxembourg credits.
- Benefits from Luxembourg––Social Security credits from both countries can also be counted, when necessary, to meet the eligibility requirements for Luxembourg benefits. To be eligible to have your U.S. and Luxembourg credits counted, you must have at least 12 months of coverage credited under the Luxembourg system.
How credits get counted
You don't have to do anything to have your credits in one country counted by the other country. If we need to count your credits under the Luxembourg system to help you qualify for a U.S. benefit, we will get a copy of your Luxembourg record directly from Luxembourg when you apply for benefits. If Luxembourg officials need to count your U.S. credits to help you qualify for a Luxembourg benefit, they will get a copy of your U.S. record directly from the Social Security Administration when you apply for the Luxembourg benefit.
Although each country may count your credits in the other country, your credits are not actually transferred from one country to the other. They remain on your record in the country where you earned them and also can be used to qualify for benefits there.
Computation of U.S. benefit under the agreement
When a U.S. benefit becomes payable as a result of counting both U.S. and Luxembourg Social Security credits, an initial benefit is determined based on your U.S. earnings as if your entire career had been completed under the U.S. system. This initial benefit is then reduced to reflect the fact that Luxembourg credits helped to make the benefit payable. The amount of the reduction will depend on the number of U.S. credits: the more U.S. credits, the smaller the reduction; and the fewer U.S. credits, the larger the reduction.
A Luxembourg pension may affect your U.S. Benefit
If you qualify for Social Security benefits from both the United States and Luxembourg and you didn't need the agreement to qualify for either benefit, the amount of your U.S. benefit may be reduced. This is a result of a provision in U.S. law which can affect the way your benefit is figured if you also receive a pension based on work that was not covered by U.S. Social Security. For more information, get the publication, Windfall Elimination Provision (Publication No. 05-10045). If you are outside the United States, you may write to us at the address in "For more information" section.
What you need to know about Medicare
Medicare is the U.S. national health insurance system for people age 65 or older or who are disabled. Medicare has two parts: hospital insurance (also called "Part A" Medicare) and medical insurance (called "Part B" Medicare). You are eligible for free hospital insurance at age 65 if you have worked long enough under U.S. Social Security to qualify for a retirement benefit. People born in 1929 or later need 40 credits (about 10 years of covered work) to qualify for retirement benefits.
Although the agreement between the United States and Luxembourg allows the Social Security Administration to count your Luxembourg credits to help you qualify for U.S. retirement, disability or survivor benefits, the agreement doesn't cover Medicare benefits. As a result, we cannot count your credits in Luxembourg to establish entitlement to free Medicare hospital insurance.
For more information about Medicare, visit Medicare's website at www.medicare.gov.
Claims for benefits
If you live in the United States and wish to apply for U.S. or Luxembourg benefits:
- visit or write any U.S. Social Security office; or
You can apply for Luxembourg benefits at any U.S. Social Security office by completing an application form SSA-2490.
If you live in Luxembourg and wish to apply for U.S. or Luxembourg benefits, contact:
- the Federal Benefits Unit at the U.S. Embassy in Brussels, Belgium, (phone 32-2-508-2388) to file for U.S. benefits; or
- any Luxembourg Social Security office to file for Luxembourg benefits.
You can apply with one country and ask to have your application considered as a claim for benefits from the other country. Information from your application will then be sent to the other country. Each country will process the claim under its own laws—counting credits from the other country when appropriate—and notify you of its decision.
If you haven't applied for benefits before, you may need to provide certain information and documents when you apply. These include the worker's U.S. and Luxembourg Social Security numbers, proof of age for all claimants, evidence of the worker's U.S. earnings in the past 24 months, and information about the worker's coverage under the Luxembourg system. You may wish to call the Social Security office before you go there to see if any other information is needed.
Payment of benefits
Each country pays its own benefit. U.S. payments are made by the U.S. Department of Treasury each month and cover benefits for the preceding month. Payments under the Luxembourg system are made near the end of each month for the next month.
Absence from U.S. territory
Normally, people who are not U.S. citizens may receive U.S. Social Security benefits while outside the U.S. only if they meet certain requirements. Under the agreement, however, you may receive benefits as long as you reside in Luxembourg regardless of your nationality. If you are not a U.S. or Luxembourg citizen and live in another country, you may not be able to receive benefits. The restrictions on U.S. benefits are explained in the publication, Your Payments While You Are Outside The United States (Publication No. 05-10137).
If you disagree with the decision made on your claim for benefits under the agreement, contact any U.S. or Luxembourg Social Security office. The people there can tell you what you need to do to appeal the decision.The Luxembourg Social Security authorities will review your appeal if it affects your rights under the Luxembourg system, while U.S. Social Security authorities will review your appeal if it affects your rights under the U.S. system. Since each country's decisions are made independently of the other, a decision by one country on a particular issue may not always conform with the decision made by the other country on the same issue.

To file a claim for U.S. or Luxembourg benefits under the agreement, follow the instructions in "Claims for benefits" section.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — With a record total of 19 honors, the mood was absolutely celebratory at HBO's Emmys afterparty on Monday night.
The network's big winners, including "Veep" star Julia Louis-Dreyfus and "The Normal Heart" director Ryan Murphy, clutched their trophies while chatting with partygoers in the shadow of a giant white modern sculpture at the tented party outside the Pacific Design Center.
Billy Crystal held court at a table near the dance floor, while "Newsroom" star Jeff Daniels mingled throughout the crowd as a band crooned doo-wop classics.
"Girls" creator Lena Dunham slipped out of the party early clutching her shoes.
Other stars partying late into the evening included "The Comeback" star Lisa Kudrow, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator Larry David and "The Leftovers" actor Justin Theroux.
As Emmy winner Stephen Colbert attempted to wade through the crowd with his family in tow, the future "Late Show" host was accosted by a familiar face: Larry Wilmore, whose taking over his "Colbert Report" spot on Comedy Central.
"Hey, big winner," said Wilmore. "I didn't know if you could hear me!"

I'm currently in a correspondence with a person who is offering me the tired line that religion is helpful to people and not in conflict with science and has been involved in some worthy efforts.
This morning, February 25, in the Austin American-Statesman, there were two articles—one on the front page of the National section, and one on the front of the Local and State—that covered dangerous errors in sex education in our schools and legislation undermining the relationship between a woman and her doctor, which also noted that our governor has once again spoken out against medical research that researchers believe could yield beneficial medical results. Make no mistake, these initiatives are designed purely to resonate among religious constituents. Are there nonreligious people who might (and do) support these same measures? Yes, I'm sure there are. Would there be enough people motivated outside of religious initiatives to make these "issues" important to legislators? I highly doubt it. The reason they are "issues" is because they are religiously supported agendas. And religion means numbers.
I agree that religion is not in conflict with science—in any area where science is not in conflict with religion. However, as soon as science puts forward any assertion that does not correlate to religious claims, science comes under attack from religion, and bad things happen. The correspondent pointed out that Islamic nations long ago were among some of the most progressive thinkers in math and science. I have heard this, too. However, I wonder what sorts progressive thinking applied to apostates and heretics in these same ancient Islamic nations? Was a conversion to another religion (outside of Islam) taken in stride, do you think?
I don't claim that where religion doesn't conflict with X, religion will automatically oppose X. But where religion perceives that X opposes religion, X will be castigated by religious adherents—often violently and forcefully. We see it daily. And I am unaware of a time when it wasn't so.
For awhile, I've been mentioning to Matt that I would like to see a publication of the letters we get to the TV-List. I would devote a section to all the letters, like this latest, telling me that religion is benign or good for people for the most part. And I would follow that section with all the letters we get from adherents telling us that their religion is good, who after a few exchanges say that mass genocide, mass infanticide, suicide-mass-murder, rape, slavery and child sacrifice are all morally acceptable if, and only if, a god tells you to do these things.
I often hear the question "Name one benefit religion offers that could not be achieved secularly (without the lies and harm that comes with religion)." It's not a benefit, but I have found that you can get a person to say that "X is not moral in situation Y," and then turn around in only one or two exchanges and get them to say "X was moral in situation Y because there was an added caveat that god said to do it."
Religion can take a human being who is willing to condemn an action as immoral in a particular circumstance, and get them to say that same action is moral in that same circumstance, if a god says to do it. Now, there are certainly regimes that can get people to commit atrocities that aren't religious. But it would be hard to get someone who is not a sociopath to admit in a hypothetical that he'd be willing to slaughter children in droves if a charismatic leader asked him to do it, or that he would kill his own child at the request of some persuasive person. Might he do it for a person if the situation actually arose? Yes. He might. Is he likely to foresee and admit that a human could ever convince him to do it (without some form of immediate duress)? No.
Is a belief system that can take a person's moral reason and short-circuit that to "obey without question" a benign and harmless system? Aren't we describing a ticking time bomb? What stands between this person committing atrocities—but something to convince him it's what his god wants out of him? Is a person who says that killing children is right if god requests it, honestly that different than a person who actually kills children because he believes god requested it? Aren't they the same person, except that one is merely waiting for some cue?
I recall a particular letter from a father of a nine-month-old who wrote to say that even if his religion isn't true, what harm is it to raise his daughter in Christianity?
I asked him if he accepted the doctrines of hell and salvation. He did. I explained that in his paradigm, salvation requires a blanket condemnation of all human beings as imperfect for being who and what they are. Salvation and hell don't mean "imperfect" as in "nobody's perfect," but "imperfect" as in "You are so horribly and inherently flawed, that by rights you deserve eternal torture according to god, and as your Christian dad, I have to agree that's exactly what someone like you, my child, should get."
I asked him what he thought it would mean to a little girl to know that her father sees her as that sort of a horrible being—inherently flawed to the point of complete and total unacceptability?
Initially he attempted to argue god's love for us and how god wants us to go to heaven and not go to hell. But he couldn't really find a way to get around the fact that his doctrines meant that he had to say he thought his daughter was inherently flawed and that nothing intrinsic to her could ever be "good enough" to merit anything but eternal punishment. He finally grasped that if there were something she could do that would make her "good enough" to not merit an eternity of torture, then intervention by Jesus would be unnecessary—negating the doctrine of salvation through Jesus. And without someone like Jesus granting her god's "mercy" (mercy, meaning it's not what she really deserves, but what god gives her regardless of her undeserving nature), she was hopeless and despicable.
Most of us would normally have a hard time saying any of our worst recorded criminals should be, by rights, tortured for eternity. But even if we felt that way about a person, I would expect that their actions would have to be, in some regard, fairly heinous. Someone might want revenge on Hitler to the point of hoping for a merciless, vengeful eternity of torture. But an average child? Or even an average adult? It's hard to believe anyone would say that any of our friends and neighbors should be deserving of torture for ten minutes, let alone eternity?
I asked this dad what he would think of a neighbor who each day sat his own kids down and told them, "I think you are all such despicable children that you deserve nothing less than to be beaten without mercy, but since I love you so much, I won't do that to you, so long as you tell me how truly sorry you are that you're who and what you are—utterly unworthy."
I don't say there aren't or couldn't be secular systems that impact normal people's minds and thwart their reason and moral sense in this way. I don't say that nonreligious systems can't and haven't gotten good people to do bad things. What I'm saying is that I'd be hard pressed to get a human with a normally developed brain, who isn't already abusive or a sociopath, to say—in a purely hypothetical framework—that people ought to be tortured simply for being people—and for no other reason.
I have never met people who have told me that any historical or current genocide or mass infanticide was "morally right" for any reason other than "god commanded it." And I haven't just met a few of those. I've met many. And I'm still meeting them. And I can Google their responses to the Old Testament stories and find site after site attesting to the moral correctness of committing atrocities for the Christian god. And I can
't stress strongly enough that these are not the Fred Phelps's of the world. These are good, tax-paying, loving, caring, generous people who work and live along side us all in every segment of our society. In fact, any Christian who accepts the Bible as true and god as good, must assert these actions are good in any situation where they are commanded by a god.
There is something unnerving about living in a society where the predominant religion is one that can make a standard, normal human assert that atrocities should never be committed—except when god says to commit them. And then recognizing that in this same society, most of my fellow citizens believe a god exists and in some way communicates or has communicated with them and/or others. And that they further believe that this god, according to their sacred texts, has righteously commanded such atrocities to be committed by his adherents.
Call me crazy?

SpinVox puts spin on layoff rumours
It's just a slice here and there...
Exclusive SpinVox insiders say the controversial voice-to-text company has made layoffs at its Marlow office today.
Brunswick, SpinVox's PR company, told us that SpinVox had an ongoing program of cost-reduction but declined to characterise it as a round of redundancies.
SpinVox's debt problems were widely discussed in press reports over the summer. The BBC reported that the company's refinancing came just in time to prevent key suppliers bringing the business to a halt.
In August, we exclusively revealed that the refinancing deal obliged SpinVox to find £30m to repay key backer Tisbury Master Fund Ltd by December 20, or refinance again. Hedge fund Tisbury was the only investor to respond to SpinVox's summer crisis. Tisbury Capital Management chairman John Botts also chairs SpinVox.
Since then, in September, the company has made another share issue of around £5m. An existing investor reported that SpinVox was up for sale.
SpinVox sells a voice-to-text service to carriers worldwide, and wholesales its translation to other services. The spotlight fell on the business when it emerged that the bulk of the work of its voice-to-text was conducted by humans in a labour-intensive network of contracted call centres around the world, employing thousands of people. ®

Corn ethanol had a minimal impact on higher food prices in 2007-08, according to a study by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The report, The Impact of Ethanol Use on Food Prices and Greenhouse-Gas Emissions, was released in April 2009.
National Corn Growers Association President Bob Dickey noted, "We applaud this report, the next chapter in a growing narrative that shows ethanol is not principally responsible for higher food prices despite what food companies have tried to make consumers believe during the past 12 to 18 months.
"The report found that the increased use of ethanol accounted for 0.5 to 0.8 percentage points out of the 5.1 percent increase in food prices between April 2007 and April 2008, representing 10 to 15 percent of total food price increases.
"We note that the impact of higher energy costs on food prices represented 36 percent of the overall food price increase. We hope that those who are truly concerned about increased food prices will look to those causes that have played a more significant role, and join grocers and others who are holding food manufacturers accountable for increased food prices at the same time commodity prices — even those for energy — have dropped."
The CBO looked at four factors in calculating the impact of corn ethanol production on food prices — the impact of ethanol demand on corn prices, the impact of higher corn prices on food, the impact of higher corn prices on livestock feeding and the impact of increased corn acres on the prices of other crops, particularly soybeans.
The CBO estimated that the upswing in the demand for corn for domestic ethanol raised the commodity's price by between 50 cents and 80 cents per bushel between April 2007 and April 2008. That range is equivalent to between 28 percent and 47 percent of the increase in the price of corn, which rose from $3.39 per bushel to $5.14 per bushel during the same period.
The price increase occurred despite an increase in corn production. During the 2007-08 corn marketing year, the United States harvested a record 13.1 billion bushels of corn. Of that total, approximately 3 billion bushels was used to produce ethanol.
As the mandated use of biofuels rises over time, increased production of ethanol and biodiesel will probably continue to push up prices for corn and soybeans, the CBO report said. According to USDA estimates, 3.7 billion bushels of corn will be used to produce ethanol during the 2008-09 marketing year.
That estimate represents an increase of about 700 million bushels over the total for the previous marketing year, which could increase the price of corn by 10 percent to 17 percent over the 2008–09 period.
In addition to the expanding demand for corn to produce ethanol, the CBO cited several other factors contributing to the rising price of corn in the United States between April 2007 and April 2008.
For example, the depreciation of the U.S. dollar increased the demand for U.S. corn abroad. Exports rose approximately 14 percent between the 2006-07 and 2007-08 marketing years.
Concerns about a poor harvest because of unfavorable weather for spring planting also caused corn prices to rise during the spring of 2008.
At the same time that corn production was rising, producers were experiencing hikes in the cost of producing corn. The CBO report noted that between 2007 and 2008, corn producers' expenditures on energy grew by 35 percent and expenditures on fertilizer climbed by 50 percent. Overall, during that period, the cost of producing corn rose by 31 percent.
The CBO report said that rising demand allowed producers to pass along the increase in costs to consumers, who proved willing to pay the higher prices.
The CBO concluded that the increase in the average price of corn resulting from ethanol production in 2007 — 50 cents to 80 cents per bushel — directly increased expenditures on food by between $700 million and $1.1 billion, or by about 0.1 percent.
The CBO also calculated the corn price's impact on the price of meat and the corn price's indirect impact on the price of soybeans.
Assuming that farmers passed along to consumers the increases that occurred in animal feed prices, the higher prices resulting from the production of ethanol increased consumer expenditures on food by an additional 0.2 percent to 0.4 percent.
The CBO report said that rise in soybean prices resulting from the increase in corn acres at the expense of soybean acres raised expenditures on food by between 0.2 percent and 0.3 percent, bringing the total effect to between 0.5 percent and 0.8 percent.

Cougar Cruise – A Creative Way to Float Your Boat
November 01, 2010
Playing off the Columbia International University mascot - the Cougar, CIU students used ingenuity and teamwork to do some unique boating on the CIU Lake in the first ever "Cougar Cruise." But this was certainly not a cruise on a luxury ocean liner.
The Cougar Cruise was a contest, of men versus women. Each team had 40 minutes to build a one-person boat out of the cardboard, trash bags, and duct tape.
Then, from a floating dock, each team launched its boat into the water and raced to the shore while dodging water balloons.
