RACINE â When Art Howell joined the Racine Police Department, the city was entering one of its darkest times. Upon his retirement Wednesday after 37 years with the RPD, Racine has been experiencing record lows, year after year, in major crimes since Howell became chief of police.

Howell grew up on Davis Place, just south of Downtown Racine. As he was graduating from high school in 1980, a recession was sweeping across the Midwest. Stable industrial jobs went overseas or south of the border. Unemployment rates, especially among workers of color, shot up.

URUMQI, March 31 (Xinhua) Tractors are busy plowing cotton fields in Bachu County, one of the cotton hubs in northwest China s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, as the season for cotton sowing arrives.
Across Xinjiang, spring plowing season usually starts in late March and early April as the weather becomes favorable.
Farmer Yimam Tursun, from Bachu, has over a dozen years of cotton growing experience. Before last year, he needed to pay about 9,000 yuan (about 1,370 U.S. dollars) each season to hire workers to help harvest his 1.13 hectares of cotton. It would take five workers more than half a month to finish hand-picking cotton in his field.

In 1986, the Link-Belt Construction Equipment Company was formed as a joint venture between FMC Corporation and Sumitomo Heavy Industries, formalizing a relationship dating back to 1962.
A 1998 reorganization to focus on cranes resulted in spinning off the joint venture s excavator product line. The LBX Company, a stand-alone, joint-venture company was formed between Sumitomo Construction Machinery Co. and Case Corp. to market and sell Link-Belt excavators.
