Mo. - When !he history of 21st cenmry farming is·writ· ten, one of the milestones noted might be the day the farmer himself joined his mule in the march to obsolescence, replaced by a robot. Or maybe not "I don't know whether we'll have robots out there on our tractors or not That's maybe far-fetched," Eldon Cole of the University of Missouri said. laughing. · · " But," the livestock specialist continued, "I think anything 1hat can take the labor oul of agricultural production, that's ·what we' ll be looking at" . Thus, he and other experts say to expect more breakthroughs in high-tech fields involving satellites and computers. Satellites already can tell farmers exactly how much manure or pesticide to use on a field to obtaan the best results. And in the future, they will prob. ably do a better job of forecasting the weather as well, said Dan Cassidy of the Missouri Fann Bureau. Another area where breakthroughs are expected is in genetics. "Research will lead the way with specialized varieties of crops.:· Cole tialto keep~n producing more food," Cole said. "But we want to quickly said.

Jurors said they were infuriated by documents showing that Philip Morris .executives had lied for decades about the link between smoking and cancer. William Gaylord, who repre· senled the Williams family, said during the hearing over damages that any reduction would be a pub· lie relations coup for the company. U.S. juries have awarded damages in smoking liability cases only five times - twice in Florida and once in New Jersey, Oregon and California. The Florida and New Jersey verdicts were overturned on appeal, while the $51.5 million award in California was halved by a judge.

The riding halts any enforcement of the .rules, drafted in July 1997. The rules meant states had .to come up with plans to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by specific amounts that vary from state to state. Ohio officials have argued that the tougher guidelines were too stringent in light of the $3.7 billion spent on utility pollution controls since 1995. Gov.

NATO called the village "a legit· imale military target," saying it was a military camp and command post. In its statement, the 19-member alliance noted it could not confirm the casualty figures given by the Serb authorities but said it "deeply regrets accidental civilian casualties that were caused by this attack." NA1'0 spokesman Jamie Shea suggested that the refugees may have been used as human shields to Protect ·military equipment deployed in the village.

The closest vote came on a motion accusing Yeltsin ·of starting · the Chechen War, which received 283 votes of the 300 votes needed to begin impeachment proc~edings against the Russian leader, according to offic.ial results. Communist and other hard-line deputies had predicted certain lri' ~mph after working for almost a year to impeach Yeltsin. But centrist and nationalist deputies apparently decided to back Yeltsin because of . their greater opposition Ia the Communists. The results were read oui to a hushed chamber after a day of argu. ing and wrangling over the voting procedure. It appeared that just 34& deputies took part in the voting, with dozens of others slaying away or boycotting the session.

The Padres hit three homers off winless Denny Neagle and extended their dominance over the Cincinnati Reds to a new season with ·a 7-3 win Friday night. San Diego won II of 12 against Cinci nnati last year, its best season mark against any team in franchise history.. Their first game of '99 went much the same. Jim Leyritz and Eric Owens hit solo homers and George Arias had a two-run shllt off Nea~le (0-3), who lasted only 5 113 innuigs. The leftbander has a 6.46 ERA in five starts for the Reds. · Even though Sean Casey had a career-high four hits and Vaughn had a solo homer and a broken-bat single against the team that traded him away after a 50-homer season, it. wasn't nearly enough. One game after the Reds gave up fo ur homers to Milwaukee, they lost again by giving up three. "We 've got to keep the ball in the park. In the last couple of days, we've give n up too many long ones," Reds manager Jack McKeo n said. "That's the way it goes. You get it up and over the plate,. you're going to get hurt ." Andy Ashby (5-3) extended his winning streak agai nst Cincinnati to four starts by allowing nine hits in seven-plus innings. He gave up solo homers to Casey and Vaughn in a span of three pitches. " Evidentl y, he didn't feel too uncomfortable faci ng me," Ashby said of his former teammate. The Padres' only uncomfortable .moment came in the eighth, when the Reds got two OJl with two outs. Trevor Hoffman relieved and walked Hal Monris to load the bases before getting Pokey Reese on a pop up. Hoffman fini shed for his seventh save in eight chances. Tony .Gwynn, out · of the lineup Wednesday because of a sore rig ht hamstring, started and singled in four at-bats. Gwynn needs 29 more hits to become the 22nd player to reach 3,000. Owens was one of th e most pleased Padres.

By Max Tawney My travels since 1939 have resulted in visits to 67 countries and I have many pleasant memories I will never forget. The country I have visited more than any other· is Mexico. My first trip there was in 1941 with an Eastman Kodak salesman and his wife. Soon after 1 became a Kodak deal· er, he told me he was traveling to Mexico and invited me to go along. He said he would pick up all other expenses of the trip if I would pay my air· fare . I replied to him 1 couldn'ttum that down and gladly accepted his offer. . After 10 days in old Mexico, I was bitten by the travel bug that has stayed with me the last 60 years. Following that trip, ·1 made up my mind I had to go back to old Mexico. So I worked hard to save enough money to return. In less than two years I was en route on another trip there. . I really can.' t. recall my total number of trips to old Mexi co down through the years, but I can assure you there have been several. In 1960, I purchased a piece of land in Acapulco with anti ciptu ion of someday going there to live. I could not have the land in my name as it had to be deeded to a native Mexican. So I had it put in a banker's name who I had made friends with. In fact, I had stayed at. the residence of his parents for one week and I knew I COijld tru st him. · In less"than two years, this banker friend told me in a lener J could .double t)ly money if I wanted to Sell the land. I told him· no, that I planned to come down there to live in four or five more years. He kept sending me offers and I finally told him if he could se ll the land for three times whill I had paid, to go ahead with a sale. I ·thought that would end the matter, but if·didn 't. He soon called and .told me to come on down and get my money as someone had met my terms. · . A while later I found out a beautiful hotel had been built on the land I previously owned. Upon learning this, I recall thinking to myself how only I had kept that piece of land I would not be working at 422 Second Ave. in Gallipolis. My wife Mabel and I spent two weeks in Mexico years ago and we had a maid and servant in our apanment who waited on us day and night for wages you would not believe . · When I was in Toledo, Mexico, I made friends with the owner of a small gift store. I went back years later to his business and when he saw me come in the door he ran to greet me with a big bear hug. As he rushed toward me, he forgot he was carrying a large bowl of flowers in his hands. Needless to say, it crashed to the floor and the glass bowl broke into a zillion pieces. He didn't seem to mind. ·There are just-a few of things I like about old Mexico. .I made friends with the right.people at)d they sure treated me great. ' Another country I have many pleasant memories of is New .Zealand. When you talk about friendly people, those in New Zealand certainly stand out. · . Crime. is very low there and they seldom lock their doors. While in New Zealand, I went into a photographers studio, intro· duced myself .and gave "him one of my photo business cards. After chatting with him foF .about 15 minutes, he said, "I want to take you on a tour of my town." Out the door we went. He spent o_ver two hours showing me around town and introducing me to many of his friends. . In Queenstown, New Zealand, I met a sheep farmer who owned · almost I ,000 sheep and five sheep dogs. He would ialk to those dogs just like they were humans and they would obey his every command. I stayed with his family for two days and nights. Being able to ·roam around and get acquainted with so many fin e people from all walks of life is my ·main reason for preferring not to travel with tour groups. When you are with a group you have to do mainly what is on the itinerary and at the time the guide so"instructs you , . Today's article describes just a few experiences and pleasures I enjoyed in two of the 67 countries I've visited. Even though I'm 85 now, I intend to do more traveling soon. I hope to write about ·a ·planned upcoming jaunt, as well as past trips , if you don' t grow weary of "old Max's travels." Who knows - if the good Lord's will·ing, the creeks don't rise and .I can find someone 10 edit it, I might even someday write a book. .

"When I would have a panic attack, he would come up and put his body against me, " Ms. Conti said. " It helped keep me out of what was happening inside. " Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, peopie with physical and mental impairments that "subsiantially limit one or more major life activities" can have a trained service dog with them. Despite the law, Ms , Conti says she has a hard time getting people to understand that King is entitled to go where she goes. Shari Sternberger, founder of National Capital Therapy Dogs ip Highland, Md., says taking away a mentally disabled. person"s service dog is equivalent to removing glass- · es from a near-sighted person or a cane from someone with a limp. Ms. Conti has been turned away from restaurants, shops,. even the Baltimore Orioles ballpark. Recently, she got a photo identification card for King from the Department of Veterans Affairs that she hopes will help people understand her disability. By th.e time Ms. Conti was discharged from the Anily on April 21, 1989, her psychological problems were overwhelming. Over the next six years, she was hosp-italized more than 100 times.

One state with modest gains could also have been boosted by the exclusions. Maryland and Kentucky, which were lauded last month for the 1994 to 1998 increases in reading scores · of fourth -grade students, also excl uded significant numbers of special education students in that · time period. Minnesota could have claimed higher axerage scores because it excluded fewerspeCial-ed students. Neither scores nor rankings will be ~ffec ted , but the federal study of the 1998 test results could lead testgivers_to change some policies, Pascal D. Forgione Jr. , chief of the Edur.:ation Department 's . statistical branch, said Friday. "We have been woken up on the issue that we must monitor this participation rate,'' he said. "If it keeps goirig hke it is, the increase could be statisically significant." · Forgione's department .released the study ·results today at a meeting of the board that oversees the test. Because many states used the gains to tout success of reforms back horne, the validity and integrity of the national voluntary test is under the glare of cricial scruti ny. " We know people care a lot about the confidence of th~se test scores," he said. "We will try to develop set of materials to help people understand it." Though the research pointed out differences in average scores, he said, no rankings will be officially changed because the report used a model to compare test scores of included students with the estimated perfonnan<;e of the types of students who were· excluded . · The study also found: - 10 of the 36 testing states · excluded higher percentages of special-needs students. .. - 5 of the 36 stat~s excluded higher numbers of non-native Engli sh spealdng students. · - I stale tfiat posted a modest gain actually did better under the. analysis formula.

Raw fipres for 1998 indicated a 7 percent decline ·from 1997 in reported violent crimes and property offenses. Decreases were re.corded for both violent crimes - murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault- and properly offenses- burglary, larce· ny-theft, motor vehicle thefts and arson, said the report issued Sunday. · Robberies· were down II percent and vehicle thefts droppeciiO percent from 1997 levels, while murders fell 8 percent and rape and aggravated assault were both down by S percent. Motor vehicle theft dropped tO percent, and • burglary and arson figures were each 7 percent lower officills said. The number of larceny-thefts was ~n 6 percent The Justice Department provided percentage . chanps but not overall totals for the number of eoch type of crime reported. Reno said the general decline showed the overall sucoes!Cs of the Ointon administration's crimefighting e1Jor11L "It's a combination of many factors, including more polioe officers, (:Q[llmon·sense laws requiring background dtecks on gun purchasers, mmmunity policing, legislati~n banning assault weapons, practical pannersh1ps between law enforcement and the communities they serve, more crime prevention programs and a host of effective compre· · hensive ~me strategies," she said. President Ointon termed the seven-year trend "remarkable," saying in a statement "More .com. munity police on our streets and fewer guns m t~e hands of criminals htve helped make our communities the safest they ~ave been in a _generation." . Republicans question the effecttveness of the administratio_n's co~-on-t~e-streets program and say there's sbll too httle betng done to crack down on violent criminals. They are backing a juvenile justice bill in Congress that would to_ughen penalties and introduce some new prevention programs for young offenders. . Democrats are using the same bill to push for tougher gun control laws. More than 17,000 city, county and state law enforcement agencies ~oluntari_ly submit d~ta each: · year .for the FBI's Umfonn Oime .Reporting Program. The totals are published yearly in a 'repon called "Oime in the United States." Final fipres are not available until this fall. The Justice Department said overall declines of 8 percent were reported by law enforcement agencies in Nonheastem and Western 'states.

But a gun mdustry group satd cnme has declined because of more aggressive law enforcement. "I don 't think that has much at all to do with gun control. What l"think it has to do with is law enforcement getting serious about enforeing .lay.os that are already on the books," said Robert Ricker, executive director of the American Shooting Sports Council. "The crime rate is dropping across the · board, not just gun crime, and I think that's because of enforcement." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
