Tony Lupo(:22) We predict there will be a few more tornadoes this year or there is a possibility of that but with severe weather you have to look at the entire package; you could get hail events, you could strong wind events and of course a lot of lightning and flash flooding these are all dangerous components of a severe thunderstorm.
(:17) If that active jet stream continues and if we have cold air in place that we have had all winter that could setup some pretty descent clashes between warm and cool air masses in the spring and the result of that is usually severe weather.
(:15) It is of concern that our weather is similar to 2002-03 at this point because there is the potential for more severe weather across the state and folks should be looking to the skies.

Eric Evans(:10) Safe rooms when you put it into new construction add about 1 ½ to 2 percent to the cost of a home and that’s building a very strong sturdy large safe room.
(:12) So you can imagine a two-by-four going 250 miles per hour can do a lot of damage so that’s why we get below ground or in a safe place to shelter ourselves from flying debris that’s what kills people.
(:16) The most important thing you can have though for your entire family is your family disaster plan and that plan can be in the kit or somewhere else but this plan tells everyone in the family what you are going to do when an emergency occurs, very important to have.
(:14) By having these things in place it makes recovery psychologically so much easier the stress is so much less and everyone gets through the emergency with much much more ease.
(:16) Today you buy a flashlight, next week you buy a gallon of water in two weeks you buy a cheap am/fm radio that’s the way you do it you slowly build it over time you don’t have to go spend hundreds of dollars at one time to get a disaster kit you can build it over time and it is very cheap that way.

Fu-Hung Hsieh(:07) Our goal is try to create a product which will look like chicken, feels like chicken and taste like chicken.
(:14) I’m sure there are people out there that prefer chicken but there are people that prefer something other than animal proteins this product will provide an alternative for people who prefer the different choice.
Harold Huff(:05) The true vegetarian will love this product and they can season it anyway they so desire.
(:10) In the last 10 years we have worked on this project on and off in the last year or two we have made some progress and we have got it down where it really has the mouth feel texture of a chicken product.

Ron Plain(:12) We have had a shift in consumer demand that the demand for chicken wings has grown very rapidly in the last couple of years and consumers are buying the product and bidding up the price.
(:15) There is this late January sort of bubble in chicken wings prices that are probably associated with the football playoffs and the Super Bowl and all.
Adam Ehrlich(:08) Our biggest to-go order day is the Super Bowl, we sell anywhere between 6,000 to 8,000 wings on that day out of each restaurant.

Virgil Woolridge(:11) Most businesses challenge when making a profit the profit margin that most businesses most small businesses is very very small so the only way you can overcome that is by doing good prior planning.
(:11) Small business plays a critical role in job growth in the state of Missouri about 80 percent of new job growth is attributed to small business.
(:18) Data indicates that during a during a downturn like this is sometimes very good time to start a business because what it does particularly if you’re an individual maybe has lost their job or been laid off and you have a business idea or you are good in your area you this might be an excellent time for you actually start your business.
Lynne Snyder(:06) Don’t do it alone leave no stone unturned and the more resources that you can tap into the better.
(:13) I’ve never started a business from scratch I've never started anything from ground up. So I was blind at that point having somebody to lead me around the obstacles and hurdles that that were present, I think made the biggest difference.
(:10) It’s amazing when you can look at a child who hasn’t walked and help them walk but it’s also amazing to look in their parents’ eyes and share that same joy with them.

Keith Striegler(:17) This work is important to the state because we have 92 commercial wineries right now and in 2005 we had 50 so there has been tremendous growth, each one of those wineries is out there is an economic engine for it’s region.
(:16) If we can get a variety that had absolute wonderful fruit characteristics and wine characteristics and you didn’t have to spray it at all and it had very few inputs that you had to do in the vineyard that’s the ideal situation we are looking for.
Steve Monson(:14) Winemaking seems like a pretty sexy job when people are looking at it from the outside but there is a reason that I am not wearing a button up shirt right now. I go to work I get wet dirty stained you can’t like any other clothes that you wear to work.
(:08) I really think that there will be a characteristic MU wine that we can show the world that will represent the University hopefully before I graduate.
(:08) This is information that we can share with the entire industry here and provide them with the knowledge without investing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
