Page6 The Lone Tree Reporter Thursday, April 18,2013 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. By Ron Rife The Lone Tree Reporter 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.

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.
