Sprouts should be browned and very dark on the edges. I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused. Start your day with Amish Baked Oatmeal, a recipe submitted by K...

One hundred and seven years ago, a young Odessa answered the appeal for and to San Francisco, which on April 18 and 19, 1906, had been struck by an earthquake and fire that caused $350,000,000 worth of damage. The new town, which then had a population of about 600, contributed $333.75 toward San Francisco’s relief. While this made up for only one-millionth of the loss, it was still big money for Odessa in those days. Many of the contributions, all of which were published in The Odessa Record, were of 50-cent, dollar or t...

Regarding Gerald Ray’s recent letter to the editor, it’s obvious to me that he has been watching way too much Fox News – you know, the channel where rich people pay rich people to tell middle-class people to blame poor people. I suggest he check out www.inthese times.com and search for “The GOP’s One Trillion Dollar Lie – How a Right-Wing Whopper About The Cost of Welfare Was Born.” He will then find that the reality expressed mathematically is: Total Spending on Welfare/Those Who Receive Benefits = $24.77 per day. This is...

Byron Behne watches the grain markets for the Odessa Union Warehouse. 4/3/13: Big rally in Chicago wheat futures today, which has so far continued into the evening session, as it was rumored that China was in buying a bunch of U.S. SRW.

Byron Behne watches the grain markets for the Odessa Union Warehouse. 3/28/13: Well, that was a surprise! The USDA managed to find an additional 400 million bushels of corn in the bin than what was being expected, and that pulled the rug out from under the grain market.
