Legislative Uncertainty Needless to say, a great deal of uncertainty has revolved around the farm bill for the past year. At a Sugar Club dinner last March, Mary Kay Thatcher said that the Congress would have a very difficult time trying to get the bill done. Ms. Thatcher, an official at the American Farm Bureau Federation, was right on target. Although the Senate passed a bill last June and the House Agriculture Committee reported one in July, the bill never made its way to the House floor, primarily because of pressure to reduce spending for nutrition programs. At the last minute, the existing bill was extended through this coming September 30. The general feeling at the moment is that the bill will not be re-considered until April at the earliest. There are more pressing issues on the Congressional agenda. Although the delay is frustrating farm groups, there’s nothing unusual about it. The 2002 bill had to be extended four times before it was finally adopted. Nonetheless, the delay has triggered some concern among farm groups, including those in the sugar sector. Those concerns pale, however, in comparison to those that prevailed way back in 1974 when the old Sugar Act failed to be extended. th On June 5 of that year, the sugar lobby sat in the gallery of the House of Representatives in a state of total shock and disbelief. We had just witnessed the Sugar Act, which had been in force since 1934, go up in flames. There were no warning signs. Two amendments to the bill, which the Rules Committee cleared for consideration, had passed with little opposition. (Oddly enough, the bill normally went to the House floor under what is called a “close rule.” No amendments could be offered on the House floor, a procedure normally reserved for appropriations bills.) The extension of the Act was defeated on the House floor by a vote of 175 to 209. As a result, the Act, which included domestic and foreign quotas, allotments, acreage restrictions, payments, minimum wages for farm labor, marketing allotments and import quotas, expired at the end of the year. On June 30, 1975, the Federal excise tax on sugar of one-half cent per pound also expired. That tax was used to finance the so-called “conditional payments” that were made to producers for complying with acreage restrictions. Those payments were unique in that they were graduated. The more sugar you produced the smaller the payment per ton of sugar produced. Prospects for renewing the bill at that time had been hampered by exceptionally high sugar prices (the price of raw sugar had doubled from around 13 cents a pound in January of that year to over 26 cents by the time the bill was considered by the House. By November it had gone up to around 60 cents a pound.) There also was a great deal of unfavorable publicity surrounding lobbying activities for foreign nations. Talk of trying to extend the sugar program for one year or include its provisions in a pending trade bill never materialized. The Ford Administration did, however, take control of the situation. In order to protect the sugar industry from a flood of imported sugar, President Ford signed a proclamation on November 16, 1974 that imposed an annual global import quota of 7,000,000 short tons, raw value. By so doing, the import duty remained at .625 cent a pound. In the absence of a quota the duty would have tripled. Despite producer concerns, over the next five years sugar imports never came anywhere near seven million tons. And there was no drastic decline in domestic production. (The industry wasn’t really impacted until HFCS arrived on the scene.) Two attempts by the producers to resurrect the sugar act failed, one in 1978 and the other in 1979. As time went on, the Administration provided relief for the industry through import duties and fees and finally re-imposed country-by country import quotas. And sugar provisions were included in the 1977 farm bill and all subsequent farm bills. Today, should Congress fail to extend the farm bill, which is highly unlikely, USDA certainly has the flexibility to provide for the farm sector through other statutes. So, those that are anxious about the farm bill should “keep calm and carry on.” http://www.candyandsnacktoday.com/archives/2012/12/march-cane-crush-may-see-surplus.shtml December 31, 2012; March Cane Crush May See Surplus Cleveland —The 2012/2013 sugarcane crush in Brazil’s South-Central region is expected to total 2.6 percent more than September estimates, according to the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association, Unica. Unica anticipates 532 million tons in March 2013 instead of its original forecast of 518.5 million tons. Dry November weather in the region, where 90 percent of the country's sugarcane is produced, allowed the harvest to advance quickly, explains Technical Director Antonio de Padua Rodrigues. Growth in cane production is predicted to result in high volumes of ethanol and sugar. Sugar is projected at 34.05 million tons, a 4.13 percent increase from Unica's September numbers, and ethanol is expected to reach 21.33 billion tons — 6.63 percent higher than the previous estimate. Rabobank Food and Agribusiness Research also expects a global sugar surplus in 2012/2013 and says the market is feeling the effects, bringing New York Sugar No. 11 futures down to 19 to 22 cents per pound throughout the past four months. According to Rabobank, sugar prices slipped below their anhydrous ethanol equivalent price on December 10, breaching the ethanol floor. Anhydrous ethanol exports are up 300 percent from the previous year’s shipments, resulting in a 73 percent increase in total ethanol exports from South- Central Brazil. “Meanwhile there continues to be discussion of an increase in Brazilian gasoline prices,” says Andy Duff, Rabobank analyst. “The effective increase in the ceiling price for hydrous ethanol that would result from an official gasoline price hike would be supportive for sugar.” http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article.cfm?articleid=3151 January 02, 2013 in Knowledge@Wharton Coffee in Colombia: Waking Up to an Opportunity Every day, more than 500,000 coffee growers throughout Colombia fulfill a family tradition, one that has been passed down from generation to generation. Growing premium-quality coffee beans across nearly 2.2 million acres of Colombian highlands is an important part of their heritage. For Colombians, coffee is not merely a bean, but a part of their national identity. In fact, coffee growing is the largest source of rural employment in the country. The centrality of coffee to Colombian society and to its international image is exemplified by the nation's president, Juan Manuel Santos, who spent much of his career representing the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation (FNC) at the International Coffee Organization. Colombians pride themselves on their reputation for high-quality coffee beans, which result from rich volcanic soil and predominantly shade-grown cultivation. In addition, the alternation of wet and dry seasons supports two harvests, one running from September to December and the other running from April to June. Coffee is grown in the highlands of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta as well as on the slopes of the three sections of the Andes mountains that traverse the country.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 4 8 1 0 6 - 1346 Abstract The majority of research for this thesis took place during the Thai general election of 1988 when the new religious movements Santi Asoke and Wat Dhammakaya were subject to investigation for political activity despite, respectively, defiance or denial. The relationship between the Thai Sangha and lay devotees is examined in order to discover how it is that Thai monks, whom many researchers find powerless, can be accused of political activity. In the past, monks have been used to legitimate lay political leaders and have taken active roles in local leadership. This thesis aims to determine whether monks in Thailand have power and, if they do, how such power becomes politically threatening to the status quo.

  • New World NW 271 Jazz Historians Explain the Coming of Bebop—The Radically New Jazz Style That Established Itself Toward
    Bebop New World NW 271 Jazz historians explain the coming of bebop—the radically new jazz style that established itself toward the end of World War II—as a revolutionary phenomenon. The motives ascribed to the young pioneers in the style range from dissatisfaction with the restrictions on freedom of expression imposed by the then dominant big-band swing style to the deliberate invention of a subtle and mystifying manner of playing that could not be copied by uninitiated musicians. It has even been suggested that bebop was invented by black musicians to prevent whites from stealing their music, as had been the case with earlier jazz styles. Yet when Dizzy Gillespie, one of the two chief architects of the new style, was asked some thirty years after the fact if he had been a conscious revolutionary when bebop began, his answer was Not necessarily revolutionary, but evolutionary. We didn't know what it was going to evolve into, but we knew we had something that was a little different. We were aware of the fact that we had a new concept of the music, if by no other means than the enmity of the [older] musicians who didn't want to go through a change.... But it wasn't the idea of trying to revolutionize, but only trying to see yourself, to get within yourself. And if somebody copied it, okay! Were he able, the other great seminal figure of bebop, alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, would probably amplify Gillespie's opinion that the new music arose from inner needs rather than external factors.

A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF LONE MOTHERS ON LOW INCOME WITH REFERENCE TO SUPPORT IN THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES By Josephine Patricia Dearlove BA (Hons) Sociology / Social Policy Thesis submitted for the qualification of PhD University of Warwick Department of Social Policy and Social Work March 1999 ABSTRACT The thesis invites women to voice their perceptions and experiences on being lone mothers, in receipt of Income Support and what 'support' means to them in their daily lives as carers of pre-school children. This qualitative study is set against firstly, the backdrop of the increasing numbers of lone mothers and their reliance on income support. Also prevalent was a negative discourse around lone motherhood. Secondly, lone mothers were encountering the consequences of a restructuring of social and welfare policy and practice, with the changing boundaries between public and private responsibilities impacting on their daily lives. Thirdly, within this changing socio-economic and political landscape, both neo-liberal and 'third way' governments identify kinship as the appropriate resource for families in need. The study draws data and analysis from the perceptions and experiences of, initially, thirty-three women in five focus groups and more particularly, from thirty- seven lone mothers on Income Support.
