Large tobacco hornworms can quickly strip leaves from backyard tomato plants. Prevent heavy damage by controlling caterpillars while they are still small. This one is 3 inches long.
Caterpillars are vexing pests to many of the plants we grow in our home landscapes and vegetable gardens. There are numerous different species of pest caterpillars, most of which specialize in feeding on a particular group of plants: azalea caterpillars sometimes defoliate whole plantings of azaleas; heavy infestations of bagworms destroy arborvitae trees; tobacco hornworms strip the leaves from homegrown tomatoes; squash borers kill squash and pumpkin vines. And the list goes on.
What is the best way to control caterpillar pests and keep them from causing so much damage? The key to successful caterpillar control is to treat while they are small. Newly hatched caterpillars are much easier to kill than caterpillars that are an inch or more in length and almost ready to pupate. More importantly, by controlling the critters while they are small, you avoid most of the damage they would otherwise cause. Most caterpillar pests do about 80 percent of their feeding in their last few days as a caterpillar. Wait too late to treat an outbreak of caterpillars, and you may get revenge — but you won't prevent most of the damage.
Squash vine borers kill squash and pumpkins by boring into the stem of the plant. Successful control requires treatment before newly hatched caterpillars bore into the plant. This one is 1 inch long.
The problem is that small caterpillars are tough to spot. So how do you know when it is time to treat? With some crops you have to treat preventively based on plant development or time of year. Tomatoes are a good example. Unless you treat preventively once your plants begin setting fruit, you could be disappointed at harvest. "Oh, no, this tomato has been ruined by fruitworms, so has this one, and here's another!" Preventive treatments are also necessary to control pests such as squash vine borers and peach tree borers. Because such pests are safe from insecticide sprays once they are inside the plant, it is necessary to treat before newly hatched caterpillars have bored in — you need to have the insecticide residue on the plant before the eggs hatch so hatching caterpillars have to crawl over treated surfaces. With peach tree borer, this can be accomplished with a couple of well-timed treatments applied to the lower trunk after harvest is over, but preventing squash vine borers requires spraying plants weekly once plants begin to bloom.
Fall webworms build unsightly webs in pecan and other trees, but it is not always safe and practical to spray large trees in urban settings.
Fortunately, preventive treatment is not necessary for all caterpillar pests. In many cases, it is possible to take a more reactive approach and wait until you see early warning signs of a caterpillar infestation before spraying. Newly hatched leaf-feeding caterpillars often begin by feeding on the undersides of leaves without chewing through the clear upper epidermis. This results in small windowpane-like spots that should alert observant gardeners to potential caterpillar infestations. Watch for these windowpanes or other early feeding signs; check the undersides of the leaves to verify the presence of caterpillars, and treat if necessary. This approach works best for leaf-feeding caterpillars in vegetable crops, ornamental shrubs and annuals.
There are also situations where the "do nothing" approach may be the best plan. Hardwood trees can be attacked by a variety of different caterpillars, and heavy outbreaks may sometimes cause severe defoliation. But most home gardeners do not have the equipment to treat a 60-foot tree and, even if you hire a commercial applicator, there are still drift and liability issues to consider. Fortunately, mature hardwood trees can tolerate a single heavy defoliation without suffering serious long-term consequences. Is it really worth the time and expense to spray large shade trees for an outbreak of defoliating caterpillars? By the time the problem is noticed, it's likely that the caterpillars are almost fully grown and nearly ready to pupate. Small, recently planted trees are a different matter. If a tree is still small enough, you can treat it safely and effectively; if you can detect and treat an infestation in time to prevent severe defoliation, it is usually worth doing so. This will keep the young tree growing and protect it from unnecessary stress.
Newly hatched caterpillars, like these cross-striped cabbageworms, often leave telltale "windowpanes" on leaves where they feed, an early sign of caterpillar infestation. This one is a quarter-inch long.
Bagworms only have one generation per year. Insecticide sprays must be applied while caterpillars are active, before they have pupated for the year. This one is 2 inches long.
What insecticides work best for caterpillar control? One of the most effective active ingredients available to home gardeners today is spinosad. Spinosad is sold under many different brand names, and products containing spinosad are readily available in local lawn and garden centers. Spinosad is labeled for use on most vegetable crops and ornamental plants, and some formulations are even approved for organic gardening. Primarily for caterpillar pests, spinosad also controls thrips and some leaf-feeding beetles, but it is not effective on sucking insects like stink bugs and aphids. Organic gardeners may wonder what happened to the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) products. Bt products are still available, but they are not nearly as effective as spinosad.
Pyrethroid insecticides, with active ingredients like bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, permethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin, are also very effective on most caterpillar pests. Pyrethroids are broad-spectrum insecticides that control a wide range of insect pests, but they also have the potential to trigger outbreaks of pests such as spider mites, whiteflies or aphids. This happens because these three groups of pests tend to be less susceptible to pyrethroids than the beneficial insects that help control them. Use pyrethroids when you need to control multiple pests, but don't count on them to control mites, whiteflies or aphids. For example, pyrethroids are a good choice for treating tomatoes for tomato fruitworms, because they work well on fruitworms and will also control stink bugs and hornworms. Spinosad is a better choice for treating arborvitae for bagworms, because it is less likely to trigger a mite outbreak.

Like the title says, my Flash plugin keeps crashing.
It happens on videos on many sites like YouTube. (I joined the html5 beta at YouTube to sort that out, but that doesn't fix other sites.) The crash seems to occur on any site using Adobe Flash, and is becoming very annoying.
I'm using 12.04 with Firefox and used the flash-helper plug-in as well but the same result.

Motley Crue singer Vince Neil pleaded not guilty to driving drunk in Las Vegas and will go on trial early next year.
Attorney Richard Schonfeld entered the plea for the 49-year-old rocker, who was busted June 27 driving his Lamborghini 60 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone near the Vegas strip. Police say he had a blood-alcohol content well above the legal limit of .08 percent.
Neil, whose hits with Motley Crue include "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Dr. Feelgood," lives with his fourth wife in Las Vegas.

Police said Neil was then given three physical tests to determine if he was legally drunk. He failed a test that required him to follow the officer's finger as it was moved 12 to 15 inches in front of him, police said. Neil was also unable to walk heel-to-toe steps or standon onleg for the required time, police said.
After failing those three tests, Neil was then given a breath test that showed his blood alcohol content readings were 0.215 and 0.216, compared to the legal limit of 0.08, the report said.

Madam Speaker, in this the sesquicentennial anniversary of Canada, we celebrate the values that built this country and made it strong. I was very mindful of this at a few recent community gatherings in Flamborough—Glanbrook that honoured our history and looked to our future as a nation.
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of attending the 115th anniversary of the Rockton Women's Institute. The village of Rockton is the kind of place that embodies the values of community, duty, honour, and freedom that we celebrate at Canada's 150th. What is more, the event took place at the Beverly Township Hall. Its heritage legacy and the local history on display illustrated these values being handed down from generation to generation.
In a similar vein, I also attended the grand openings of the Grace Christian School in Millgrove and the Bellstone Christian School in Glanbrook. In both cases, hundreds of enthusiastic students and their parents celebrated the rights and freedoms to a faith-based education in Canada, recognizing the duty that education gives all of us to be good contributing members of our society. From what I saw throughout the riding, the future indeed looks bright for Canada past our 150th year.

For the 15th year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recognized pioneering chemical technologies developed by leading researchers and industrial innovators who are making significant contributions to pollution prevention in the United States.
The Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards recognize and promote green chemistry technologies, including cleaner processes; safer raw materials; and safer, better products. They also highlight the environmental and economic benefits of novel green chemistry. The 2010 categories and award winners follow.
Greener Synthetic Pathways Award ─ The Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Mich., jointly with BASF, Florham Park, N.J., for "Innovative, Environmentally Benign Production of Propylene Oxide via Hydrogen Peroxide."
The Hydrogen Peroxide to Propylene Oxide (HPPO) process, developed by Dow and BASF, is a new, innovative route to PO based on the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and propylene. It has high yields and produces only water as a coproduct. The catalyst is a ZSM-5-type zeolite with channels of about 0.5 nm in diameter. In this catalyst, titanium replaces several percent of the silicon of the zeolite in a tetrahedral coordination environment. Propylene is epoxidized by hydrogen peroxide in a fixed-bed reactor at moderate temperature and pressure. The reaction occurs in the liquid phase in the presence of methanol as a solvent. Hydrogen peroxide is completely converted to product.
The process reduces the production of wastewater by as much as 70-80 percent and the use of energy by 35 percent over traditional technologies. The first commercial process based on this technology was commissioned in 2008 at the BASF production facility in Antwerp, Belgium. A second PO plant based on this technology is scheduled to begin production in Map Ta Phut, Thailand in 2011.
Greener Reaction Conditions Award ─ Merck & Co., Rahway, N.J., jointly with Codexis, Inc., Redwood City, Calif., for "Greener Manufacturing of Sitagliptin Enabled by an Evolved Transaminase."
Collaboration between Merck and Codexis has led to an improved, greener route for the manufacture of sitagliptin. Starting from an R-selective transaminase with some slight activity on a smaller, truncated methyl ketone analog of the sitagliptin ketone, Codexis evolved a biocatalyst to enable a new manufacturing process to supplant the hydrogenation route. The evolved transaminase had a compounded improvement in biocatalytic activity of over 25,000-fold, with no detectable amounts of the undesired, S-enantiomer of sitagliptin being formed. The streamlined, enzymatic process eliminates the high-pressure hydrogenation, all metals (rhodium and iron), and the wasteful chiral purification step. The benefits of the new process include a 56 percent improvement in productivity with the existing equipment, a 10-13 percent overall increase in yield, and a 19 percent reduction in overall waste generation. Sitagliptin is the active ingredient in JanuviaTM, an important treatment for type 2 diabetes.
Designing Greener Chemicals Award ─ Clarke Environmental Management, Roselle, Ill., for " NatularTM Larvicide: Adapting Spinosad for Next-Generation Mosquito Control."
Spinosad, a 1999 Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award winner, is an effective insecticide with excellent control in many terrestrial applications. Its instability in water, however, renders it ineffective for extended application in aquatic environments.
Clarke created a "sequential" plaster matrix that protects the spinosad molecule from water and releases it slowly, allowing extended performance of spinosad formulations for up to 180 days. This matrix is insoluble calcium sulfate hemihydrate plaster and water-soluble polyethylene glycol (PEG) binders fine-tuned for varying durations of insecticide release. The PEG dissolves slowly, exposing the spinosad and calcium sulfate to water. The calcium sulfate takes up the water to form the mineral gypsum and releases spinosad. Clarke formulated the plaster matrix for NatularTM larvicide entirely with approved pesticide inerts that also meet the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Organics Standard. The resulting formulations provide excellent control of mosquito larvae in a range of aquatic environments from catch basins to salt marshes. Clarke manufactures the dustless, extended-release tablets with a solventless process that increases the environmental benefits.
The product is 15-fold less toxic than the organophosphate alternative, does not persist in the environment, and is not toxic to wildlife. Its manufacture eliminates hazardous materials and processes.
Academic Award ─ James C. Liao, Ph.D., Easel Biotechnologies, LLC and University of California, Los Angeles for "Recycling Carbon Dioxide to Biosynthesize Higher Alcohols."
Liao has developed a microbial technology to produce alcohols with 3-8 carbon atoms from carbon dioxide (CO2). His technology leverages the highly active amino acid biosynthetic pathway, diverting its 2-keto acid intermediates toward alcohols. With this technology, Liao and his group have produced isobutanol from glucose in near-theoretical yields with high efficiency and specificity. They also transferred the pathway into a photosynthetic microorganism, Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942, which produces isobutyraldehyde and isobutanol directly from CO2. The engineered strain produces isobutanol at a higher rate than those reported for ethanol, hydrogen, or lipid production by cyanobacteria or algae. This productivity is also higher than the current rate of ethanol production from corn. The technology shows promise for direct bioconversion of solar energy and CO2 into chemical feedstocks.
Small Business Award ─ LS9, Inc., South San Francisco, Calif., for "Microbial Production of Renewable PetroleumTM Fuels and Chemicals."
LS9 has developed a platform technology to produce a wide variety of advanced biofuels and renewable chemicals cost-effectively by a simple, efficient, one-step fermentation process. LS9 has engineered established industrial microorganisms to convert fermentable sugars selectively to alkanes, olefins, fatty alcohols, or fatty esters, each in a single-unit operation. The process enables precise genetic control of the molecular composition and performance characteristics of each resulting fuel or chemical product. The technology leverages the natural efficiency of microbial fatty acid metabolism to biosynthesize long hydrocarbon chains. It combines this with new biochemical pathways engineered into microorganisms to convert the long-chain intermediates into specific finished fuel and chemical products that are secreted by the cells. The products are immiscible with the aqueous fermentation medium and form a light organic phase that is both nontoxic to the whole-cell catalyst and easily recoverable by centrifugation.
The company is developing the technology for the production of alkanes (diesel, jet fuel, gasoline), alcohols (surfactants), esters (biodiesel, chemical intermediates), olefins (lubricants, polymers), aldehydes (insulation, resins), and fatty acids (soaps, chemical intermediates). Specific product performance is enabled through the genetic control of each product's chain length, extent of saturation, and degree of branching. The process does not require any metal catalysts.
LS9 is advancing toward commercial scale with its Renewable PetroleumTM facility, which will come on line this year. Initially, this facility will produce UltraCleanTM diesel; other products will follow.
An independent panel of technical experts convened by the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute selected the 2010 winners from among scores of nominated technologies.
The Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Program has reduced the hazards associated with designing, manufacturing, and using chemicals. During the life of the program, EPA has received more than 1,300 nominations and presented awards to 77 winners. Winning technologies alone are responsible for reducing the use or generation of more than an estimated 198 million pounds of hazardous chemicals, saving 21 billion gallons of water, and eliminating 57 million pounds of carbon dioxide releases to air.

U.S. Bond Issuance Nears $1 Trillion
U.S. corporate bond issuance is hurtling toward a record for a third straight year, as companies take advantage of a surprising interest-rate decline to stock up on cash. Firms may top the $1 trillion mark soon after Labor Day at the current rate. WSJ's Mike Cherney joins MoneyBeat. Photo: U.S. Treasury.

I heart my chiropractor!
I thought chiropractors were just for back pain. They are soo much more. They can alleviate back pain, shoulder and neck pain, tight muscles, headaches, sore arms and legs, bad hips, sinus pressure and pain, plus so much more. I even slept better after a few visits.
I had a really bad migraine headache last weekend and then was having a stiff neck and back and dull headaches all week long. I dropped by to see him today and after a quick 5 minute adjustment. I felt so much better. Plus my sinus pressure and drainage was gone, just like that.
If you don't have one, get one! You won't be sorry!

A friend of mine recently sent me this in an email. I loved it and thought I would share it.
Recently I overheard a Father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the Father said, 'I love you, and I wish you enough.' The daughter replied, 'Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.' They kissed and the daughter left.
The Father walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?' 'Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking, but why is this a for ever good-bye?'. 'I am old, and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral,' he said.
'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough.' May I ask what that means?'He began to smile. 'That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone..' He paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and he smiled even more.
'When we said, 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.' Then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
He then began to cry and walked away. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them; but then an entire life to forget them.

Before mastering Augusta National's 18 holes, Tiger Woods tried to master the media Monday.
For the first time since his sordid sex scandal became public, Tiger Woods answered questions from the press in an unorchestrated setting. He discussed the car accident that sent his career spiralling, his five months in seclusion since then, his 45-day stint in rehab, his relationship with his wife Elin, rumors of performance-enhancing drug use and his return to golf this weekend.
But first, he thanked the crowd that greeted him at the Augusta National course during a practice round Monday morning.
U.S. & World
"The galleries couldn't be nicer," he said. "It was just incredible. It blew me away."
He answered questions for 36 minutes, expressing regret and remorse, but he gave few new details of the double life he led for years, or the five months since.
"I did it," he said. "I take full responsibility for it. The fact that I won golf tounaments is irrelevent. It's the pain and damage that I caused. My wife, my mom, my wife's family, my kids -- going forward, I'm going to have to explain this to them."
His wife Elin will not attend the Masters this weekend, he said. He didn't explain her absence.
Tiger talked about the car accident that ignited the scandal. In the early hours of Nov. 27, he ran over a fire hydrant and into a tree, sparking incredible revalations of rampant affairs -- as many as a dozen women have claimed to have slept with the golfing great.
"I had a busted-up lip and a pretty sore neck," Woods said. "That was it. Five stitches in the lip."
After the November accident, Woods clammed up, not talking to the media or the police.
"I did everything to the letter of the law," Tiger said. "My lawyer gave me advice, and I followed that advice."
Woods admitted to spending 45 days in a rehab facility -- "I've come out better, certainly a much better person than I was before," he said -- but he refused to say for what he was being treated.
"That's personal, thank you," he said.
He denied ever taking performance-enhancing drugs, but skirted questions about whether he had overdosed on Ambien the night of the Nov. 27 accident.
"The police investigated and fined me 164 bucks," he said. "Case closed."
Before Monday's press conference, Woods' public comments have been limited to two written statements, one public statement and two short television interviews.
His Monday press conference drew a packed crowd to the Augusta National press center. Augusta National asked media outlets to send just one reporter to ensure every organization would fit into the 207-person press center.
Before taking questions, Woods prepped with a practice round Monday morning, his second practice round at Augusta National in as many days. He teed off with Fred Couples just after the course opened at 8 a.m.
On the links, he looked rusty, according to the LA Times. He missed the green on hole 4, a long par-3, and drove into some trees left of the fairway on hole 8.
How will he do in competition? Stay tuned.
"He hit the ball pretty good today," said Mark O'Meara, who played with Woods on Sunday. "He's been practicing the last three or four weeks. He's good to go. It's going to be a different thing for him. But if anyone can handle it, he can."

Attack code privately submitted to Microsoft to demonstrate the severity of a critical Windows vulnerability is circulating on the 'Net, prompting the researcher who discovered it to say it was leaked by the software maker or one of its trusted partners.
The precompiled executable surfaced on Chinese-language web links such as this one on Thursday, two days after Microsoft released a patch for the hole, which affects all supported versions of the Windows operating system. The company warned users to install the fix as soon as possible because the vulnerability allows attackers to hit high-value targets with self-replicating exploits that remotely install malicious software. Microsoft security personnel have predicted exploit code will be independently developed in the next month.
Luigi Auriemma, the Italian security researcher who discovered the vulnerability and submitted proof-of-concept code to Microsoft and one of its partners in November, wrote in an email that he's "100% sure" the rdpclient.exe binary was taken from the exploit he wrote. In a later blog post, he said evidence his code was copied included an internal tracking number the Microsoft Security Response Center assigned to the vulnerability. He also cited other striking similarities in the packet that triggers the vulnerability.
"So yes, the pre-built packet stored in 'rdpclient.exe' IS mine," he wrote. "No doubts."
He went on to speculate that the code was leaked by someone from Microsoft or one of its trusted partners. He specifically named ZDI, or the Zero Day Initiative, which is a program sponsored by HP-owned Tipping Point, a maker of intrusion prevention systems that pays researchers cash for technical details about critical software vulnerabilities. He also speculated the leak could have come from any one of the 30 or so partners who participate in the Microsoft Active Protections Program. The program gives antivirus and IPS makers technical details of Microsoft vulnerabilities in advance so they can release signatures that prevent them from being exploited.
Update: Aaron Portnoy, ZDI's Manager of Security Research told Ars he's sure the leak didn't come from anyone with his company.
"I've actually gotten confirmation from Microsoft that they're are also confident that the leak wasn't from us," he said in an interview. "I can't comment further on the issue other than [to say] they seem to have some is knowledge as to what happened and they are confident it was not from us."
He said exploit details have never leaked out of his company, and he added he was unaware of leaks involving other Microsoft partners, either.
Update 2: Yunsun Wee, Director of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing division confirmed that the code appeared to be match vulnerability information shared with MAPP partners.
"Microsoft is actively investigating the disclosure of these details and will take the necessary actions to protect customers and ensure that confidential information we share is protected pursuant to our contracts and program requirements," Wee wrote in a blog post. The statement made no reference to Portnoy's comments.
Members of the Metasploit framework, an open-source package that hackers and penetration testers use to exploit known security bugs, have confirmed that rdpclient.exe triggers the vulnerability Microsoft reported Tuesday. It resides in the Remote Desktop Protocol and allows attackers to execute code of their choosing on any machine that has it turned on. HD Moore, CSO of Rapid7 and chief architect of the Metasploit project, told Ars the code caused a machine running Windows Server 2008 R2 to display a blue screen of death, but there were no signs it executed any code.
He said Metasploit personnel have been able to replicate the crash, but are still several weeks away from being able to exploit the bug to execute code.
"It's a still a huge vector for knocking servers offline right now if you can figure out how to DOS the RDP service," he said in an interview.
There are unconfirmed claims that code is already circulating in the wild that does far more than cause machines to crash. This screen shot, for example, purports to show a Windows machine receiving a remote payload after the vulnerability is exploited. Security consultants have said there's no proof such attacks are real.
"On the other hand, if they've had this since November internally, it's not impossible that someone would have had time to actually develop what that screen shot is showing," Alex Ionescu, who is chief architect of security firm CrowdStrike, told Ars.

From conception (fertilization) until after the birth of your child, you and your baby will change every day. To help you understand what is happening, we've outlined how pregnancy begins and some of the changes you may notice.
The fertilized egg travels down the fallopian tube and attaches to the uterus.
How Pregnancy Begins
Conception is the union of a sperm and an egg. When it occurs, your baby's genetic makeup is complete, even its sex. Fertilization takes place in the fallopian tube. The fertilized egg then travels down this tube to the uterus (womb). The egg attaches to the lining of the uterus about a week later. There it grows and is nourished.
Your Changing Body
Pregnancy affects almost every part of your body. You may notice some of the following physical and emotional changes:
- Your uterus expands outward and upward as your baby grows. You may feel pressure on your bladder, stomach, and other organs.
- You may notice skin color changes on your forehead, nose, and cheeks. A dark line may form from your bellybutton down to your pubic area. The skin color around your nipples and thighs may also change.
- Pink stretch marks may appear on your abdomen, breasts, or hips.
- Your hair may seem thicker. You lose less hair during pregnancy.
- You may feel fine one day and weepy the next. This is caused by changes in your body, such as increased hormones(chemicals that affect the function of certain organs and also your moods).

County supervisors Wednesday approved a 43-acre solar energy installation on a Ramona pig farm, rejecting opposition from neighbors who say it will be an eyesore near the heart of town.
Supervisor Dianne Jacob cast the lone vote against it, saying the location at 1650 Warnock Drive was the wrong spot and that no one in town supports it.
"I believe in solar energy projects but the key is to put them in the right location," said Jacob, whose district includes Ramona. "It defies common sense to believe this project complies with the zoning ordinance."
At issue was a major use permit approved for Sol Orchard, LLC by county planners and the Planning Commission.
But the four supervisor votes in favor the project sends a signal to semirural areas that installation of photo pholtaic panels in their communities will be an allowable use as solar energy becomes an increasing component of the energy mix.
The panel was unanimous on one point, agreeing that a comprehensive renewable energy policy is needed answering where in the unincorporated wind and solar energy farms can go up and how they should be designed.
The permit granted Sol Orchard allows the Bay Area-based firm to install solar panels on a portion of Mark Bousema's 110-acre swine raising and cattle grazing operation.
Jacob tried to scuttle the project, proposing it be sent back to county planners for more analysis and identification of a more remote venue.
"There is no community interest in supporting this project," Jacob said. "Alternative sites have not been fairly analyzed."
Supervisor Dave Roberts appeared ready to back that idea, but changed his mind when it came time to vote at the conclusion of a more than three-hour hearing.
"I try to respect the Ramona community and the Ramona planning group, but I think this is a very good project and I do not want to lose out on a solar opportunity," he said.
Sol Orchard officials said the Bousema property was the most ideal of any it had looked at, citing its flat terrain and proximity to an electrical feeder line and a substation to handle the power.
The panels, which range from 8 to 11.5 feet in height, will convert sunlight into 7.5 megawatts of electricity, enough to power several thousand homes.
Sol Orchard vice president Will Pritchard said the electricity will stay in Ramona.
"We need to be close to the substation and we are one mile west," he said, adding other sites his company considered were insufficient. "The project has been designed to have hundreds of feet of buffering space."
But Jim Piva, chairman of the community planning group, argued that the fencing, trees and shrubbery required to screen the panels isn't enough.
"This would represent a total visual destruction of this valley," Piva said.
Another opponent, James Cooper, said Sol Orchard should serve as a catalyst for clear-cut rules for future solar and wind energy farm siting.
"We're at a turning point in this county's energy policy," he said.
Supervisors Bill Horn, Ron Roberts and Greg Cox agreed such rules are necessary but weren't willing to shut down Sol Orchard.
"Having a solar energy farm is about as low intensity a use as you can get," Cox said. "But I don't think we should have a moratorium on these projects."
Horn said he would welcome Sol Orchard building on his North County orchard lands.
Roberts said solar arrays on agricultural lands not in crop production is appropriate.
"These are really low-impact projects with an incredible benefit to the community," he said.
Absent a court challenge that stops the project, Sol Orchard will spend roughly $20 million to construct the facility and have it up and running before the year is out, according to Chris Brown, a land-use consultant working with the company.
Brown said he and Sol Orchard officials will continue to work with planners and Ramona residents to lessen any of the project's perceived ills.
Sol Orcahard has two other projects in the permit pipeline, a five-megawatt facility in Boulevard and a two-megawatt proposal in Alpine.
A similarly sized solar array being built by Sol Orchard in Valley Center also won approval from county planners. An appeal of that project's permit was dropped and thus never went before the supervisors

The term above was originally applied to judges. The 71 members of the Great Sanhedrin, the 23-member body of the rabbinical court under that, and the three rabbis of the bet din on the lower level were all dayanim. Later on the rabbi's deputy in charge of ritual matters was called a dayan, and his sphere of authority was usually defined by the statutes of the community.
In general, Pápa dayanim served in the three-member rabbinical court, and took turns giving popular lectures at the Shiur Association (in Bet Hamidrash).
The profound learning of these judges or maggids (preachers) of Pápa was often recognized by their being offered rabbinical posts at famous communities. For example,
the author of several halachic works, and a Pápa dayan until 1830, became the Telek rabbi for 10 years and then served as a rabbi at Tata until his death.
the son of Pápa rabbi Wolf Rapaport, served as a dayan at Pápa and became the rabbi of Torna. He was mentioned in the book by Yehuda Asad.
The collection of responsa by this famous rabbi also contains the name of
who was a Pápa dayan, then got the rabbinical post of Fraukirchen [in Hungarian Boldogasszony, one of the Sheva Kehilot the translator], after which he was chosen to be the rabbi of Szeréd.
The collection of responsa above also mentions Pápa dayan
who served in the 1880s.
is mentioned in a book published by the Chatam Sofer, the founder of the Pressburg/Pozsony rabbinical dynasty.
The memory of Pápa dayan
is deeply cherished. He was a tzaddik of whom it was said that did not sleep in a bed from one Shabbat to another. He was born in 1843, was a student of the Chatam Sofer, and after 35 years of service at Pápa he left his well-paid job in order to move to Jerusalem at the age of 60. (When he said farewell, he threw his top-hat out of the window of the train, and his wife also threw her hat out , saying they would not need such things anymore.) He lived in the Holy Land until his death, meditating on the Torah day and night. Even at the age of 90, he went to the Kotel every night for the midnight prayer, to ask for the redemption of Zion and for the binyan of the Bet Hamikdash. His memory is commemorated by the Bet Hamidrash founded by him, in one of the buildings in the Batey Ungarim of Jerusalem.
Rav Moshe Josef Hoffman
was the preacher of the Shiur Association at Pápa. From there he went to Varanno, where he headed a large yeshiva and was called the Popener Rav. His book Machalot Yosef was published there.
was the son of the secretary of the Stern chevra in Pápa. Avraham became the dayan of Érsekújvár and the author of halachic writings.
served at Pápa as Yoshev Ohel, then became the rabbi of Bonyhád and served there until the deportations.
became the rabbi of Nemesszalók after the death of his father-in-law, when he was chosen to be a dayan at Pápa, where he served until his death.
the son of a Mattersdorfer/Nagymarton dayan, and the son-in-law of Rav Weinberger of Dunaszerdahely, first served as a rabbi at Erdőbénye, and then became the rabbi's deputy at Pápa, where he worked until the deportations.

By chief chazan Károly Löwy, London
Chief chazan Lazar Löwy
Grandfather was the first chazan in my life and my most highly valued teacher of chazanut. This is how I remember him: a patriarchal figure, with a flying grey beard, his features possessing an air of noble simplicity, typical of Rembrandt's portraits of rabbis in Amsterdam. He had a natural tenor voice with a very special ring. He was a master of coloratura as well, sounding like pearls.
I always spent school holidays in my grandparents' home and usually stayed with them for the High Holy Days. My grandfather never gave me lessons in chazanut, yet I learnt from him more than from my subsequent teachers. Listening to his performances, to his interpretations of prayer texts was the best training possible. The synagogue of Pápa was an awe-inspiring building, and there were not many provincial communities that could boast of having something as majestic as that. It was built in the style of cathedrals, with a double line of columns and many arches.
When my grandfather was leading the service, his voice seemed to echo from all the corners of the temple, although he never had a choir to accompany him. His melodious voice and correct rhythm created such perfect harmony that his audience felt it was listening to several voices simultaneously.
He served the Pápa community for 40 years and in 1931, the Hungarian Royal Ministry of Education and Culture sent him a letter acknowledging his long and faithful service to the Pápa community. The chief chazan, as he was affectionately called, was one of the most popular people in town. When on a Shabbat or a holiday afternoon he put on his white waistcoat with the gold chain, his fashionable coat (ferencjóska) and top-hat, and went for a walk along the Main Street of the town, he was greeted affectionately by all. His admirers shook his hand and expressed their appreciation for his beautiful singing that day.
After the Second World War in 1945, I was chosen to be a chazan in Budapest. Together with Győr chief rabbi Dr. Akiva Eisenberg (now the chief rabbi of Vienna) we were invited for the re-consecration of the synagogue at Pápa. It was painful to enter the temple that had been defiled by the German hordes. Only the bare walls bore witness to the barbaric destruction. It was a terrible sight to see the gap on the eastern wall, instead of the ark with the holy scrolls of the Torah. The once-flourishing community was destroyed to an even greater extent; there were only a few young men left who had survived the terrors of the forced labour camps, and a few women who returned home after suffering in the death camps.
During the re-consecration ceremony, the small number of believers that were left had to sit on simple wooden benches because the benches of the temple had been burnt. The town mayor and the invited church officials of other religions were deeply embarassed, trying in vain to look surprised and innocent. It was a simple ceremony. In a passionate speech, Chief Rabbi Dr. Eisenberg recalled the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, a catastrophe that was caused by groundlesshatred, as the sages said. I recited the Yizkor prayer for the souls of our brethren who had been taken and sanctified the holy name. Sobbing and broken hearted, we left after the sad ceremony which had been interrupted from time to time by gusts of wind, blowing through the gaping holes. Since then the temple has stayed empty. There are no believers.
My grandfather passed away before the Shoah. I will always remember him with feelings of gratitude and admiration.
Besides rabbis and dayanim, chazanim and baalei t'filah also carried out a sacred mission. The melodious voice of
was remembered by Pápa old-timers for many years. He served in a puritanical era when the precentor was referred to as a shammash instead of a chazan. The Shammash Neumann really and truly a shammash, a faithful, zealous and devoted servant of God. It was recorded about him that during his decades of service he never made a mistake when reading from the Torah. Not only was the recital of the text perfect, the cantillation was also strictly according to the tradition.
He was an expert mohel, initiating thousands of Pápa children into the brit of Abraham. In addition, he was an expert sofer, Pápa householders were competing for his beautifully written scrolls.
In the picture (right) you can see three of his martyred grandsons, Vilmos, Zoltán and Hugó Neumann, the observant children of his son Benő Neumann, with their mother.
Among those baalei t'filah who served the community for decades and enjoyed popularity were
|Chazan David Stein
the warm-hearted jester, and
|The last chazzan of Pápa,
Tzodek Stein, who starved to
death while on labour service
May these holy baalei t'filah intercede on our behalf in Heavens for Divine favor to send peace upon us and upon all Israel.

Iceg Leb Marton was born in the middle of the 19th century in Pápa. He was the first Jew to study at the local Protestant High School (Ref. Kollégium), and he passed his final exams there. It created a sensation when at the 50 years' reunion the former students included a Catholic priest, a Protestant minister, and a rabbi, 'Uncle' Marton.
He received his religious education at the yeshiva of chief rabbi Dr. Salamon Breuer. He started out in business as an accountant at the flour business of the famous community president Adolf Lőwenstein.
When he was appointed by the community to be in charge of the religious education for high school students, he carried out the job with boundless enthusiasm for four decades. Besides being the religious education teacher, he was a real spiritual leader for the Jewish students of the Protestant High School (Ref. Kollegium), of the Benedictine High School (Bencés Gimnázium), of the Girls' Public School (Állami Polgári Leányiskola) and of the Protestant Girls' Educational Institute (Ref. Nőnevelő Intézet). It was his achievement, and also attributed to his influence that his students could participate every Shabbat at 11 a.m. in the youth services he organized.
In the upper grades of the Jewish public school, students received intensive religious education, and were required to participate in the services every day. Uncle Marton's name was legendary. His reach went beyond the youth; he also worked with adults. When he found out that someone had desecrated Shabbat by opening his store, he did not stop arguing zealously until the man closed down the shop.
When Chief Rabbi Moshe Arye Roth got back from the Zionist Congress of Basel and founded in Pápa the first religious Zionist association in Hungary called Chovevei Zion, Uncle Marton became its first secretary. He organized Zionist ceremonies, he himself reciting poems by Morris Rosenfeld, who was very popular at the time.
Later, when the association of Jewish students was founded in Pápa (Pápai Zsidó Diákok Egyesülete), he appeared amongst the circle of his beloved students every Saturday night, lecturing on the Bible.
He remained the president of the Chevra Kadisha until his death at the age of 90. It was justly said that he was the most devoted president of the Chevra ever. Although already 90 years old, bent with age, he was still present at every funeral, taking special care to proceed with the ceremony according to the sacred tradition. He was not only the leader; he himself took an active part, and when he was collecting for charity with the box in his hand, thundering in his familiar voice tzedokoh tatzil mimoves, no eye remained dry.
At Rosh Hashanah he was always the baal t'filah of the big temple. Anyone who heard his sobbing voice reciting Zechor Bris Slichos, would remember it all his life.
A man of integrity and knowledge, he had a nation-wide reputation, and was elected for the 100-member committee of the National Bureau of Orthodox Jewry; for a time he served as the secretary of the committee as well.
He had no sons; one of his daughters was married to the dayan of the Frankfurt orthodox community. His grandson, Shimon Posen, was chosen by the Sopron orthodox community to be their rabbi.
His other son-in-law, Benjamin Buxbaum, was the principal of the Jewish school at Cluj/Kolozsvár. His last years were brightened by the company of his granddaughter Reneé Buxbaum and her husband, chazan Géza Stein.
The memory of this Ish Yehudi Emet will live forever in the heart of his students and devotees.

Those Pápa women who were the spouses of rabbis, helping their husbands in their work, deserve to be commemorated here:
Nyíregyháza chief rabbi Dr. Béla Bernstein took his wife from the distinguished Korein family.
The wife of Hamburg chief rabbi Dr. Spitzer was the daughter of Nathan Rechnitzer, a talmid chacham and a respectable linen dealer in Pápa.
The spouse of Miskolc chief rabbi Sámuel Austerlitz was the daughter of Pápa chief rabbi Moshe Arye Róth.
R. Posen, the chief rabbi of Frankfurt, married the daughter of religious education teacher I. L. Marton.
Abony rabbi Dr. Andor Klein married Bözsi Schosberger, who died young.
Szabadka chief rabbi Dr. Bernáth Singer married his wife from the Weltner family in Pápa.
Budapest rabbi Zev Eckstein married the daughter Pápa dayan Zvi Eckstein.

Captain Cleanup What can CPAs do to help fight pollution and clean up our environment? Before you say "Nothing/1 read about what one CPA has done. Cruising up the river counting derelict vessels, drainpipes and industrial outfalls may not be your idea of fun in the sun, but Cary Findlay, a principal in our Miami Office, has not only indulged in such activities, but has made it pay off. He and his wife, Joyce, received cruise tickets to the Bahamas as an award for the most active sub-committee of the New Miami Action Committee of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. When appointed chairman of the Miami River Cleanup Group in mid-1970, Cary accepted the assignment to press for a total cleanup of the Miami River. A large order indeed! Assembling a dozen committee members, Cary held discussions on how to tackle this problem. An orientation trip up the river was the start. Prom there they were off and running. With the aid of government officials, students from the Miami-Dade Junior College, the news media, women from the Junior League and H&S staffmen Bill Mcllwain, Bill Boswell (and his wife Jaye) and Bob Knaul, Captain Findlay put together a flotilla on the river in March 1971 that was reminiscent of the evaluation of Dunkirk. The purpose of the flotilla was to note and photograph suspected derelicts, river bank pollution, and outfall and drainage pipes in the river. An inventory was also made of live-aboard and other boats on the river. A fifty-page report of violations and their location was presented to a conference on the restoration of the Miami River sponsored by the Secretary of State of the State of Florida. Cary reported that more than 1,000 boats were counted by the group in one afternoon. More than 700 of these vessels were classified as live-aboard or pleasure craft. It was concluded that a large amount of sewage and other debris was being discharged into the river from these vessels, Strong legislation to meet this situation is being pursued. Twenty-two suspected derelicts, many breaking up, were photographed and reported to the proper authorities for removal. Forty-one drainpipes and outfalls were sighted as possible polluters, and a list of them was turned over to the Pollution Control Office for follow-up. Some cases have been prosecuted and a number of pollution sources have been sealed. The bad conditions of the river banks-broken sea walls, trash, junk and other debris—were called to the attention of the Health Department as a serious health hazard and are also being pursued with zoning and pollution authorities. In the latter part of June of this year Cary organized a second flotilla to follow up the March report. "We saw that quite a bit had already been done toward cleaning up the mess," says Cary, "particularly with the removal of derelict vessels. But some of the other problems are going to take a little longer to solve, We're going to continue to exert pressure wherever we feel it is needed, of course, whether the problem is the pollution of the Miami River or whatever type of environmental pollution it might be. "If more people would just get involved in activities like this inspection flotilla, we would be a lot closer to solving such problems wherever we find them." •

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) Sherrod Wright netted 23 points and Marko Gujanicic collected his first career double-double as George Mason dominated inside in a 68-57 win over James Madison in Colonial Athletic Association action Tuesday night.
The Patriots (10-7, 3-2) held a 48-29 edge in rebounds, led by Gujanicic's career-high 10 boards. The freshman also added 10 points.
Wright has now gone over 20 points in seven of his past nine games, and scored 19 in one of the two he fell short. The junior hit 5 of 13 from the floor and 12 of 16 at the foul line Tuesday.
James Madison (9-9, 3-2) led 33-28 at halftime, and maintained the advantage until Bryon Allen's free throw for the Patriots tied it 43-43 with 11:53 left. James Madison recaptured the lead three times in the ensuing 4-plus minutes, but then a 10-0 George Mason run put the Patriots up 59-50 with 5:03 left.

Some of the more random things, I've received?
Well step right up folks and observe the amazing red rose panties! Yes, you heard me. It's a pair of red knickers cleverly disguised as a rose. Perfect for simultaneously conveying your undying love while sneakily eliciting the possibility of a gratitude-shag. Lovely.

Liberty News
Pedestrian tunnel begins finishing stage
Liberty University Chancellor and President Falwell, Jr. was on hand today to mark the end to primary excavation work on a new pedestrian tunnel connecting the Liberty University campus with Wards Road, Lynchburg's biggest retail area.
|Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. watches crews reach the end of the tunnel on Tuesday.
The tunnel is part of a project that should greatly enhance pedestrian safety along Wards Road, one of the busiest roadways in the city.
Liberty and the City of Lynchburg jointly financed a new pedestrian bridge, which will allow students to walk over Wards Road rather than crossing at road level. The bridge opened earlier this week.
Falwell and his wife, Becki, entered on Liberty's side behind the Vines Center and walked the full length of the tunnel before Falwell kicked out some boards that protected the Wards Road side during construction.
The tunnel will undergo extensive concrete work before it is ready for student pedestrians in early January. It was built under existing railroad tracks and exits near The Vitamin Shoppe and Panera Bread on Wards Road.
"It will be much safer for students. It's a big improvement," Falwell said. "We're going to put a fence along the tracks so they have to use the tunnel. It was an accident waiting to happen."
|Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. and his son Trey drive through the new pedestrian tunnel on Thursday.
The tunnel is nearly 200 feet long and about 12 feet in diameter.
Workers started on the project last month. It was dug with a metal encasement pipe, referred to as a "shield," that was pushed through to remove the dirt, as much as 5 to 50 feet a day.
When it is complete, the tunnel will be a 7-foot-wide walkway with handrails and curbs, similar to the tunnel under U.S. 460 on Liberty's East Campus.

Jeremy Lin movie 'Linsanity' delves into racism, hype
- New documentary %22Linsanity%22 chronicles Jeremy Lin%27s rise in basketball through lens of obstacles
- %22Linsanity%2C%22 which hits national theaters Friday%2C focuses on racism%2C obvious and not%2C against Lin
- Lin became famous after run with New York Knicks in 2012 but first was castoff in college%2C NBA
HOUSTON — Anyone who remembers the two weeks of "Linsanity" in 2012 might think back fondly to the buzz generated by the first American-born player of Taiwanese or Chinese descent to play in the NBA.
But there were moments that weren't so comfortable for Jeremy Lin, the Houston Rockets point guard who rose to fame with the New York Knicks in a way we'd never before seen. His play, his background and his story sparked a meaningful discussion that continues still, one about racial bias in a basketball world of which Lin is now such a significant part.
The news media and fans alike were forced to acknowledge stereotypes — the jokes about his court vision, quick asides about his counter-intuitive driving ability and the "chink in the armor" uses on ESPN that led to the firing of an editor and the suspending of an anchor.
ROCKETS:Lin, Harden, Howard are new Big 3
ISSUE:Will incumbent play nice with Dwight?
It's all chronicled in Linsanity, a documentary that opens in theaters nationwide Friday and takes the race issue that Lin has dealt with since his high school days in Palo Alto, Calif., head on.
Lest anyone think the film is nothing more than a cash-grab conjured up after "Linsanity" died down, it should be noted that the footage and interviews began long before the Madison Square Garden madness began. There was the San Francisco Bay Area childhood where his immigrant parents always supported his basketball interests, his high school years, the Harvard chapter and the NBA roller coaster in which he went undrafted, made two trips to the NBA Development League and was cut twice (by the Golden State Warriors and Rockets) before captivating the masses with the Knicks.
Lin, who is so often reserved or rehearsed with the media, is as candid as can be throughout.
There is a scene of Lin, while talking with a group of kids at a basketball camp after "Linsanity" had died down, saying he wanted to quit the game while he was with the Warriors. Amid rumblings that their decision to sign the undrafted point guard had more to do with marketing than it did his talent, Lin was discouraged. He played 33 minutes the entire month of December 2010.
"On Dec. 29, I wrote about how I actually wish I never signed with the Warriors," he tells the children. "'I wish I could quit basketball (he wrote),' because I wasn't having fun."
As it pertains to the race issue that was pushed to the forefront during his ascent, Lin — who won a Division II California State title with Palo Alto High and was Northern California's player of the year yet received no scholarship offers — says in the film, "Yeah, I have always said if I was black I would have got a D-I scholarship, but that's my personal opinion." He recounts the racist taunts that were hurled his way by fans during AAU games and later during Ivy League play, insults that he's so glad are no longer a significant part of his story.
"I don't really experience anything from the players' standpoint (in the NBA), like, 'Oh, he's Asian,' or whatever," he said. "But I think you kind of have to (play well in the league) a little longer to really get other people to believe that you can do it."

Crazy night of hookers and blow doing complicated Kama Sutra positions.
Church league basketball.
I'm old. And fat. That's a bad combination.
Posted 09 September 2014 - 05:15 PM
Church league basketball is dangerous stuff. I retired a couple of years ago (at 26). Way too many rolled ankles to make it worth it. Now I just do kegels all day for exercise.
Posted 10 September 2014 - 05:58 AM
Damn dude, sorry to hear that. How long is the recovery time?
Posted 10 September 2014 - 04:00 PM

Well, at least it won't stop you from enjoying blow and hookers.
But seriously, that sucks, blows my mind it could take that long to heal. My condolences.

Aquarius Update: Episode 1
Aquarius project manager Amit Sen of JPL presents the first in a series of updates leading up to launch of a mission to measure ocean salinity.
Transcript:Hi, I'm Amit Sen. I'm the Aquarius project manager here at JPL and I'll be giving you periodic updates as this mission gets closer and closer to launch in June of this year.
Aquarius is NASA's first sea surface salinity mission. In simpler terms, Aquarius measures how salty the ocean is from space. If you take a pinch of salt and put it into a gallon of water; that is the sensitivity we can measure from 408 miles above the Earth.
The birth of Aquarius started here in the U.S. The Aquarius instrument was built by NASA at JPL.
Once the instrument was completed, it was taken to Argentina where it was put together with the spacecraft provided by Argentina. We then transported the instrument and the spacecraft to Brazil to do environmental testing. The environmental testing assures us that it will work in space appropriately.
Then last month, it was brought back to Vandenberg, where it's going to be launched.
Coming up next, we will show you how the solar panels are attached to the spacecraft.
These solar panels take sunlight, converts it into electricity, and charges the battery when we're going to be in space. I'm Amit Sen with this update, we head down to the road to launch.

WASHINGTON — Take a slow deep breath, then exhale just as slowly. Can you take fewer than 10 breaths a minute? Research suggests breathing that slowly for a few minutes a day is enough to help some people nudge down bad blood pressure.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Why would that brief interlude of calm really work? A scientist at the National Institutes of Health thinks how we breathe may hold a key to how the body regulates blood pressure — and that it has less to do with relaxation than with breaking down all that salt most of us eat.
Now Dr. David Anderson is trying to prove it, with the help of a special gadget that trains volunteers with hypertension to slow-breathe.
If he's right, the work could shed new light on the intersection between hypertension, stress and diet.
"If you sit there under-breathing all day and you have a high salt intake, your kidneys may be less effective at getting rid of that salt than if you're out hiking in the woods," said Anderson, who heads research into behavior and hypertension at the NIH's National Institute on Aging.
An estimated 65 million Americans have high blood pressure, putting them at increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney damage, blindness and dementia. Many don't know it. Hypertension is often called the silent killer, because patients may notice no symptoms until it already has done serious damage.
Anyone can get high blood pressure, measured as a level of 140 over 90 or more. But being overweight and inactive, and eating too much salt — Americans eat nearly double the upper limit for good health — all increase the risk. Indeed, losing weight, physical activity and cutting sodium are the most effective lifestyle changes people can make to lower blood pressure. Still, most hypertension patients need medications, too.
Mysteries of high blood pressure
While they know risk factors, scientists don't fully understand the root causes of hypertension: What skews the body's usually finely tuned mechanisms for regulating the force of blood pounding against artery walls, until it can't compensate for some extra pounds on a couch potato? Understanding those mechanisms could point to better ways to prevent and treat hypertension.
Enter breathing.
Meditation, yoga and similar relaxation techniques that incorporate slow, deep breathing have long been thought to aid blood pressure, although research to prove an effect has been spotty.
Then in 2002, the Food and Drug Administration cleared the nonprescription sale of a medical device called RESPeRATE, to help lower blood pressure by pacing breathing. The Internet-sold device counts breaths by sensing chest or abdominal movement, and sounds gradually slowing chimes that signal when to inhale and exhale. Users follow the tone until their breathing slows from the usual 16 to 19 breaths a minute to 10 or fewer.
In clinical trials funded by maker InterCure Inc., people who used the slow-breathing device for 15 minutes a day for two months saw their blood pressure drop 10 to 15 points. It's not supposed to be a substitute for diet, exercise or medication, but an addition to standard treatment.
Why slow-breathing works "is still a bit of a black box," says Dr. William J. Elliott of Chicago's Rush University Medical Center, who headed some of that research and was surprised at the effect.
Slow, deep breathing does relax and dilate blood vessels temporarily, but that's not enough to explain a lasting drop in blood pressure, says NIH's Anderson.
Don't hold your breath
So, in a laboratory at Baltimore's Harbor Hospital, Anderson is using the machine to test his own theory: When under chronic stress, people tend to take shallow breaths and unconsciously hold them, what Anderson calls inhibitory breathing. Holding a breath diverts more blood to the brain to increase alertness — good if the boss is yelling — but it knocks off kilter the blood's chemical balance. More acidic blood in turn makes the kidneys less efficient at pumping out sodium.
In animals, Anderson's experiments have shown that inhibitory breathing delays salt excretion enough to raise blood pressure. Now he's testing if better breathing helps people reverse that effect.
"They may be changing their blood gases and the way their kidneys are regulating salt," he says.
If Anderson's right, it would offer another explanation for why hypertension is what he calls "a disease of civilization and a sedentary lifestyle."
Meanwhile, health authorities recommend that everyone take simple steps to lower blood pressure: by dropping a few pounds, taking a walk or getting physical activity, and eating less sodium — no more than 2,300 milligrams a day — and more fruits and vegetables.
