  said Jim Anderson, president of Anderson Machinery Co. in Corpus Christi, Texas. Anderson says that material costs, particularly steel, have had an affect on business, with manufacturers' prices rising multiple times this year.Escalating oil prices hurt, too.
  
  "The cost of incoming freight has more than doubled," Anderson said.
  
  Despite that, he says compared to this time last year, business is "off some, but still okay.Lower interest rates have helped us to close with people on the edge," he said.
  ...
  Collins agrees with Anderson that lower interest rates provide another incentive for contractors to buy rather than rent equipment.

  Jim Anderson, president of Anderson Machinery in Corpus Christi, Texas, agrees: "Talking strictly about our part of the world, we're looking for a much-improved second half.And unless something that takes place that's unexpectedly adverse, we expect 2004 to be even better."
  
  Anderson says his company has been selling a wide variety of equipment.
  
  "Everything from cranes to bulldozers to pavers to compactors to wheel loaders-fortunately, we're selling a little of everything," he says."We don't necessarily feel like we're hitting home runs, but there seem to be a lot of singles."
  
  While the pain of the industry's economic downturn was felt across the nation, Anderson says the region could have done a whole lot worse.
  
  "As a whole, Texas was nowhere nearly as badly affected as many of the other parts of the country," he says.

  "This is an incredible victory for gay youth; Oregon voters have sent a message that you can't choose which students are legitimate and which students are not," said Jim Anderson, a spokesman for the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.
  
  Measure 9 would have prevented Oregon public schools from giving lessons that would encourage, promote or sanction homosexuality.Schools found in violation could have lost state financing.

  Anecdotal evidence suggests they have been on the rise in the last few years, said Jim Anderson, spokesman for GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, a national nonprofit gay rights organization that focuses on school issues.
  
  "They're popping up right and left," Anderson said.

  And when you want to talk to young people you've got to go to MTV," says Jim Anderson, communications director for the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
  
  Anderson is referring to a series of hard-hitting Public Service Announcements aimed at challenging students' anti-gay prejudice that began airing on the network Oct. 10 as part of MTV's Fight for Your Rights Campaign. ``This is the largest series of PSA's on anti-gay prejudice directed toward young people," Anderson says of the seven 10-second spots, which are scheduled to air through November and possibly until the end of the year. ``They will literally reach tens of millions of young people with our message."
  
  GLSEN's message is one of creating safe schools for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth, which is why the organization teamed up with MTV to launch the PSA's in conjunction with the release of GLSEN's annual National School Climate Survey, which tracks the experiences of gay students in America's high schools.The study revealed that 83.2 percent of GLBT students reported being verbally harassed because of their sexual orientation and 21.1 percent suffered physical assault -- being punched, kicked, or injured with a weapon -- because they are gay.More than 68 percent of GLBT students felt unsafe in school because of their sexual orientation, and 30.9 percent of GLBT students reported skipping at least one day of school due to fear for their safety.Furthermore, 84.3 percent of gay students reported frequently hearing homophobic remarks, such as ``faggot" or ``dyke," and 23.6 percent reported hearing homophobic remarks from school staff members.The survey was compiled from 904 respondents from 48 states and the District of Columbia that GLSEN accessed through randomly selected gay community groups.They also made the survey available on their Web site.
  ...
  The survey statistics, says Anderson, show that anti-gay harassment continues to be ``the rule rather than the exception."But the news is not all bad -- Anderson points to survey results that indicate that where gay students had access to positive portrayals of gay people, history or events, they were more likely to feel they belonged in the school, as did students who said they had supportive faculty in the school.Also, students who said their schools had Gay Straight Alliances (GSA's) were less likely to feel unsafe than those who did not. ``This is tremendous news because it means schools can take small steps that can make a big difference in the lives of students," says Anderson of what he calls a correlation between the presence of GSA's and supportive faculty in making students feel safer and more at home in school.
  
  The statistics present ``a call to action," Anderson concludes.While GLSEN provides a host of educational resources to help educators and administrators to make schools safer, ``We simply need schools to start acting," he says. ``We need them to wake up and start acting on what they clearly know is a problem.In some ways little things can make such a big difference.If schools would say, `You can't use anti-gay epithets anymore,' it would be a sea change in the climate-but schools aren't doing that."
  
  ...
  "One of the most important signals that GSAs send is that GLBT young people are and can be empowered to make positive change," said GLSEN spokesperson Jim Anderson."We've often talked about GLBT youth being prone to suicide, almost being passive victims to the harassment they experience.Given resources and support (GLBT youth) can make tremendous differences in their schools."
  
  Tonight, MTV kicks off a series of public service announcements targeted at changing the way young people view different sexual lifestyles.The PSAs, which feature GLBT youth in 10-second spots discussing how being gay has affected their lives, aim to increase tolerance among teenagers.
  
  ...
  GLSEN spokesman Jim Anderson said HRW's attention to this issue is particularly significant to the GLBT community."Folks who haven't heard of GLSEN will have heard of the Human Rights Watch," he said."There is a history of governmental bodies taking action when [HRW] reports are released."Recent reports from the organization after investigations into male prison rape and the treatment of juveniles in prisons led to quick introduction of legislation addressing the problems."Legislative bodies and decision makers pay attention to them," Anderson said.
  
  "This report makes clear that we're not talking about simple teasing," said Anderson."This shows it negatively impacts a student's ability to learn."He believes having Human Rights Watch behind the effort will have a serious impact with policy makers."These people have turned a blind eye for a long time," Anderson said.
  
  Anderson praised the HRW report's authors for recognizing the complexity of the country's school system.Recommendations for teachers, librarians and local school boards accompany those for state and federal legislators.He also noted several recommendations made specifically with transgender students in mind."Too often, they are missing from these reports," Anderson said.
  
  Recommendations won't be enough to change things, Anderson said, without the GLBT community speaking up."State and national legislators on down to the local school board candidates need to hear that this is an issue their constituents care about," he said.
  
  News organizations all over the country are running stories related to the HRW report, said Anderson.Many of them feature GLBT youth who have taken a stand against the abuse they've suffered."There are thousands of kids all over the country who are local heroes daily," he said, "But you shouldn't have to be a hero to get an education."
