plinters from the Bench
The Lone Tree track teams
seem to be doing fairly well so
far this year. I also notice that the
girls golf team got a dual meet win
recently. The boys team is rather
green and has a ways to go yet.
Well, I see Iowa's pink locker
room is back in the news again.
It's been awhile since I read the
original article about it so I don't
remember which "What do we
complain about today" group is
doing the complaining. They are
claiming that it denotes sissies,
denigrates girls and women, and
who knows what all else. I don't
know how many times I have read
since the locker room was first
painted that pink is a calming
color and Hayden had it painted
that way thinking to calm the op-
ponent and not make them quite
as sharp at game time. It came out
again during this last brouhaha.
What never seems to come out in
talking to these complainers is
that Hayden was either a psychol-
ogy major or took some psycholo-
gy classes at Baylor. I think it was
his major, but I'm not sure now, it's
been so long.

Iowa baseball and softball teams
aren't exactly tearing Up the Big
Ten yet. I,m not sure either team
will make the Big Ten Tourna-
ment at the end of the season. I
noticed on the schedule that the
Big Ten has revived the women's
tournament. I'm not sure how
many will go to it. They were tak-

New Spread-
sheet Helps
Make Better
AMES, Iowa -- A new spread-
sheet that can help pork produc-
ers and seedstock suppliers make
better decisions is now available
from the Iowa Pork Industry
Center (www.ipic.iastate.edu) at
Iowa State University. Professor
of animal science Ken Stalder
developed the free tool along with
animal science graduate student
Caitlyn Abell.
"This spreadsheet can be used
to estimate the total costs associ-
ated with genome-enabled selec-
tion," he said. "Producers also
can see how much improvement
in a weaned pig will be necessary
to breakeven on the costs associ-
ated with genome-enabled selec-
tion."
People are invited to register
for a free download of the pro-
gram on the IPIC website.
Stalder, who also is an Iowa
State Extension and Outreach
swine specialist, said producers
can use the spreadsheet to deter-
mine whether they think invest-
ing in animals that have been se-
lected based on genomic methods
is an economically viable option.
Seedstock suppliers can use the
tool when making breeding pro-
gram decisions.
