Dean Blandino Named NFL Vice President of Officiating
Dean Blandino, a member of the NFL's Officiating Department for 15 years and the director of the league's instant replay program, has been named NFL vice president of officiating.
Blandino will take over for Carl Johnson, who announced in December that he had accepted a new role and would become the NFL's first full-time game official after Super Bowl XLVII.
A native of Bellmore, New York, Blandino has spent his entire professional career in football officiating. After graduating in 1993 from Hofstra University, Blandino joined the NFL for the 1994 season as an officiating intern. Following the 1994 season, he was hired full-time as an officiating video assistant and then was promoted to special projects coordinator.
Blandino was an NFL instant replay official from 1999-2003 and was selected to work as the replay official for two Super Bowls and two conference championship games. He managed the NFL instant replay program from 2003-2009, including oversight of the system's upgrade to high definition in 2007. From 2007-2009, he was director of officiating and the number-two person in the department, supervising day-to-day operations, including managing the support staff and the game officials' schedule, under Mike Pereira.
Blandino formed his own company in 2009 called "Under the Hood," which provided training and evaluation for replay officials. His clients included the NFL plus the Big Ten, Mid-American, Pac 12, Big 12, and Mountain West college football conferences. He directed instant replay clinics for the NFL and NCAA and served as a liaison to the NFL Competition Committee.
In 2012, Blandino returned to the NFL as a director of officiating, focusing on all aspects of supervising the instant replay program. He continued to work with the Competition Committee and also served as a liaison to NFL clubs in answering questions about officiating, prepared weekly officiating training tapes, managed other key projects such as editing the official rulebook, provided training for on-field officials, and participated in communication initiatives, including presenting the NFL Network's weekly "Official Review" to clarify rules and officiating calls for NFL fans.
"Dean has been in football officiating for the past 20 years and has made it his life," Commissioner Roger Goodell said. "He is highly respected by our game officials and coaches for his deep and thorough knowledge of the rules. He also has extensive management leadership experience in the NFL and as a business entrepreneur. Dean is well-positioned to lead our officiating team and ensure the integrity and continued improvement of NFL officiating."
Blandino will report to NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Ray Anderson.

The FP Profiler for large samplesFrom Toho Technology
The contact profilers of the FP series by Toho Technology are used in both research and production for the metrological surface characterization of large format samples whenever small profilers reach their limits.Features
- Scan repeatability: FP-A type profilers: 10 Å ; FP-X type profilers: 15 Å
- X and Y repeatability: ±2 μm
- Scan length: 30 mm ~ 90 mm with stress option
- Vertical range: 0 - 130 μm
- Stylus force: 0.5 mg - 15 mg
Further information
There are currently plenty of profilers available on the market. However, when samples exceed the standard sizes and reach dimensions up to 400 mm and larger, Toho's FP Profiler series becomes a unique tool to measure and characterize these samples. Toho's profilers incorporate the established KLA-Tencor design and combine the patented Micro Head and Stylus with a large moving transfer stage. The accurate force control allows reliable measurements with excellent vertical resolution and precision, making FP profilers the first choice measurement systems for the sample sizes specified below. The FP series profilers feature automated analysis of step heights, waviness and surface topography and flatness, 2D and 3D imaging of the topographic characteristics and an option for stress and 4-point probe resistivity measurements.
Thin film heights The accurate profile measurements allow the determination of very thin film thicknesses giving scan repeatabilities of up to 1 nm.
Thick film heights The large vertical height range of up to 130 µm allows, besides the measurement of thin films, also the determination of the thickness of very thick films.

A monster garage sale is being held this weekend to raise funds for the Braddy-White inquest.
Bendigo teenagers Maureen Braddy, 16, and Allan Whyte, 17, vanished in 1968 and an inquest into their disappearance is still ongoing. Maureen's family are holding the sale to pay for legal costs associated with the inquest.
Jodie MacDonell said the sale would have "something for everyone". The sale is being held from 7.30am today and tomorrow at 29 Derrimut Road, White Hills.
"We've got toys, clothing, plants, books, furniture, bedding, household goods, beds, jars and antiques," Ms MacDonell said.
"Our lovely neighbour works for the Comfort Inn at Kangaroo Flat and her boss has donated a night's accommodation. So everyone who spends more than $5 will go into the draw for that."

Tracheotomy is the surgical creation of an opening from the outside of the neck into the windpipe. Usually a tracheostomy tube is then inserted into the opening to allow for normal breathing.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
A tracheotomy is done to bypass obstructions in the upper airway that are interfering with breathing. The opening is called a stoma or tracheostomy. A stoma may be either temporary or permanent.
A tracheotomy is done to restore normal breathing in the following situations:
The airway is obstructed at or above the level of the larynx, which is also known as the voice box, due to:
- Trauma to the mouth or neck area
- Obstructing tumors or infections in the upper airway
- Vocal cord paralysis
- Removal of larynx for throat cancer— laryngectomy
Respiratory failure requiring long-term mechanical breathing assistance, as in these cases:
- Spinal cord injury in the neck area
- Severe lung infection or inflammation
- The use of a ventilator for 21 days
- Injury to the respiratory tract due to breathing in smoke or steam or inhaling corrosive substances
- Birth defects of the trachea or larynx
- Foreign object blocking the trachea or larynx
- Severe sleep apnea
- Aspiration related to muscle or sensory problems in the throat
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have a tracheotomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Damage to the vocal cords, vocal cord nerves, or esophagus
- Scarring at the site of operation leading to closure of the tracheostomy or tracheal narrowing
- Tracheostomy tube displacement or damage
- Difficulty swallowing
- Air trapped in tissue under the skin of the neck
- Damage to the lungs
- Low blood pressure
- Abnormal connection to esophagus or surrounding blood vessels
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Age: infants and older adults
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Poor nutrition
- Recent illness, especially an upper-respiratory infection
- Alcohol use disorder
- Long-term illnesses
- Use of certain prescription and nonprescription drugs
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Chest x-ray
- Blood and urine tests
- Review of medications
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep. In emergency situations, local anesthesia may be used. It will numb the area.
Description of Procedure
A cut will be made in the skin of the neck. A small incision will then be made in front of the windpipe between the cartilage. A tracheostomy tube, which will act as the airway, will then be fitted into this opening in the windpipe. The skin will be closed around the tube with stitches or clips.
Immediately After Procedure
You will breathe through this tube as long as it is in place. Oxygen and machines to assist breathing will be provided, if needed. A chest x-ray may be needed.
How Long Will It Take?
About 15-30 minutes
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You may have some pain and soreness during recovery. Your doctor can prescribe pain medication to help relieve this discomfort.
Average Hospital Stay
The length of stay will depend on the reason for the procedure. Most stays are 1-5 days.
Post-procedure Care
Tracheostomy tubes need to be cared for on a regular basis. The hospital staff will teach you how to care for your tracheostomy tube. It is important follow the staff's instructions to prevent infection and airway obstruction. Other specialists will help you adjust to the tracheotomy and learn how to speak and eat with the tracheostomy.
Tracheostomy tube care considerations include:
- Regular cleaning
- Regular clearing of secretions
- Keeping the airway open
- How to use oxygen or a humidifier (if needed)
- Learning to keep away from irritants that affect the airway
- Speaking and eating techniques
- Learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
- Knowing when to call for emergency medical services
Call Your Doctor
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Signs of infection, including cough, excessive foul-smelling mucous, fever, and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Persistent nausea or vomiting
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you were given
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Symptoms worsen
Call for emergency medical services right away if:
- Your tracheostomy tube falls out and you cannot replace it
- You are having difficulty breathing through your tube
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Sugarplums get set for their big night
Twenty adorable second-graders will be presented as Nutcracker Sugarplums this week; first, on Friday night at a black-tie dinner-dance held at the Brown Palace Hotel, and again on Saturday just before the curtain rises for the opening performance of Colorado Ballet's production of "The Nutcracker."
The ball, chaired by Katrina Benes and Shannon Burke, is for family, friends and members of the sponsoring Colorado Ballet Auxiliary. Saturday night's performance at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House is open to the public with tickets available at coloradoballet.org.
Cathleen Hancock and Jenifer Vogelpohl are the Sugarplum program chairs; Cami Cooper and Joan Lazzell are co-presidents of the ballet auxiliary, and Dr. Toby Cole is the master of ceremonies for both presentations.

Juliana is the daughter of Rosalina and Richard Diecidue of Cherry Hills Village. She loves the spotlight, and hopes to have a career on Broadway one day. Carrots are a favorite snack, and the best present she ever received is her laptop computer. She finds cute and cuddly hamsters to be the most adorable animals on Earth, and hopes to teach the world to recycle and preserve our planet. Hawaii is her favorite vacation destination, and she loves Ivy & Bean books.
Lauren Kay Sperry
Lauren is the daughter of Kim and Bryan Sperry of Bow Mar. She hopes to change the world one day by finding a cure for cancer, and plans to have a successful career as a writer. She loves chocolate-covered strawberries and has a soft spot in her heart for beagle puppies. She loves her family's dog, and always giggles when it rolls on its back in the grass, wiggling its paws in the air. The best gift she ever received was her white baby blankie as a newborn, but she's clearly growing up now as her favorite song is "Fifteen," by Taylor Swift.
Ariana Diane Azari
Ariana is the daughter of Maria and Kenneth Mendelsberg of Cherry Hills Village and Dr. Nicholas Azari. She loves going on trips to see her relatives in Rhode Island, and you could probably find her reading Amelia Bedelia on the airplane trip over. She loves snacking on popcorn, and funny jokes make her giggle. The Atlantis resort in the Bahamas is her idea of great vacation, and a bowl of cookie dough ice cream covered with white chocolate chips always makes her smile.
Julia Bean Donovan
Julia is the daughter of Deborah and Patrick Donovan of Cherry Hills Village. She hopes to be a superstar singer and pianist, and also a scientist, on the side. She hopes to change the world by finding a cure for cancer; most of all, she hopes to alleviate the suffering of kids whose family members have cancer. She also is concerned that children should never suffer from cancer because, in her opinion, that would be the worst thing in the world. For fun, you can find her squealing with glee on the Everest and Space Mountain roller coasters at Florida's Disney World.
Maya Grace Dammen
Maya is the daughter of Kathleen and Carter Dammen of Morrison. When she grows up, she hopes to travel the world as a photographer. She'd like to take photos of different countries and various cultures so that she and others can learn about the ways in which others live. She's concerned for stray dogs and cats around the globe, and hopes to some day share photos of them with Americans who may want to adopt them. Her trip to Costa Rica was amazing, and she thinks that authentic, Chicago pizza (shared with her Chicago family members) is the best food around.
Hailey Jane Hak
Hailey is the daughter of Kimberly and Dr. David Hak of Cherry Hills Village. She thinks the cutest animals on Earth are puppies and kittens and she loves vacationing on the Florida beaches. Hailey hopes to change the world by eliminating trash and making everything recyclable. She loves the Percy Jackson series and her favorite book in the series is "The Lightning Thief." Hailey also loves the song "Paparazzi," by Lady Gaga.

For my card for the hop I couldn't resist the beautiful Merry Poinsettia stamp set and the really pretty Dotted Patterns Fancy Square die set.
I stamped and heat embossed the flowers and sentiment onto some Canson water colour card stock and decided to use my Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle pen with Mijello Missiongold Watercolours. I love using the sparkle pen instead of water as it gives such gorgeous shimmer to the whole project.
Whilst that was drying I used the frame from the Dotted Patterns Fancy Square set and die cut it using some Gina K card stock.
I created a top folding card base and adhered the watercolored piece to it and then popped some foam tape under the die cut frame for dimension and adhered that to the card.
You know me I just couldn't resist adding some embellishments (hey at least it wasn't sequins 🙂 ) I wanted something quite subtle so I used some of Studio Katia's Sparkling Crystals.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the hop and seeing all my teamies fantastic creations.
Happy Hopping

Tomo tiempo ahora para compartir una historia de una indexadora de Argentina. Abajo pongo el 'articúlo' para leer. Nota: el articúlo solo fue publicó en Ingles - busque en la edición de lengua Español (La Liahona), pero el articúlo no estaba.
"Nine-Year-Old Enthusiastic about FamilySearch Indexing," Ensign, July 2009, 80
Nine-year-old Ruth Rodriguez of Chaco, Argentina, has been full of energy since she was born, according to her mother, Viviana. With that energy she has participated in dance, karate, gymnastics, swimming, and guitar.
She has also been a volunteer indexer for the FamilySearch indexing initiative since the age of 8, when her mother was called as the family history center director.
"She cried when she found out that you had to be 12 years old to register to use the new FamilySearch program," Sister Rodriguez said. "Every once in a while she still tries to register, just in case."
When she found out children under 12 could register for FamilySearch indexing with the permission of a parent, she signed up. She has since helped index Mexican census records and 1869 census records from Argentina.
Ruth helps patrons register for the new FamilySearch or FamilySearch indexing programs. She teaches others how to fill out their family trees and family group sheets. She even helps patrons set up microfilm in the microfilm readers.
Ruth Rodriguez of Argentina became a volunteer indexer for FamilySearch at age 8.

Point of Grace and Mark Schultz to Tour
Two of the hottest Christian acts the Dove award-winning artists Mark Schultz and Point Of Grace will be hitting the road together for the first time on their 30-city "Come Alive" fall tour. The tour is set to launch on September 10, 2009 in Decatur, IL and will travel all across the country.
"We sold so many tickets in the first two hours after tickets went on sale this morning that we had to open up a second concert!" exclaims Marion, IL promoter Ken Anderson, WBVN-FM (Marion, IL) program director in a recent press release, after tickets went on sale recently. Anderson had to add a matinee performance in Marion Sept. 12 at the Marion Cultural and Civic Center to keep up with the demand.
"People were waiting outside the offices this morning when we came to work at 6:30!" continues Anderson. "We have produced over 125 events and I have never seen the kind of energy and excitement that Mark Schultz and Point Of Grace bring to our Civic Center…Extraordinary is the right word for what Mark brings to this community of believers time after time. With the addition of Point Of Grace, another favorite of our audience, this tour offers so much for people that attend that I think it's a partnership unrivaled in all the concerts we have produced over the 20 years." he added.
"I am really excited to tour with the girls of Point Of Grace," said Schultz in a recent interview. "They are as genuine off stage as they are on stage. I have been singing their songs ever since I was a youth director in Nashville and seen first hand how their message changes lives. I can't wait for people to see the show!"
"We have talked about touring with Mark Schultz since he was a special guest for us years ago at a Girls of Grace Conference," says Point Of Grace member Shelley Breen. "He's such a great communicator and we are so excited to be a part of the 'Come Alive' tour.
Both Schultz and Point of Grace have enjoyed tremendous success on the Christian Music scene. Schultz has earned numerous accolades with seven chart-topping hits to his credit. He's also found success on mainstream radio, scoring an AC hit with "He's My Son." His last project, "Live. . .A Night of Stories and Songs," won the 2006 Gospel Music Association Dove Award for longform music video of the year. He recently earned the No. 1 spot on Billboard magazine's Hot Christian Adult Contemporary Songwriters list.
Point of Grace has been known as the Wilson Phillips of Gospel for several years. With their chart topping "I'll Be Believing" they burst upon the music scene in 1993 and never looked back. From that point on there were Dove Awards and top charting song including one of my favorites "How You Live"
This should be a show to see and I plan to get my tickets right away. To learn more about the concert log on to www.MarkSchultzMusic.com or www.PointofGrace.net

Tim Murphy's Olympic Blog Photo Gallery
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – USA Swimming's Haley Anderson became the first American ever to earn an Olympic medal in the open water 10k marathon on Thursday, finishing just four-tenths of a second behind Hungary's Eva Ristov to claim Silver.
"It was a great day in London," elated Tim Murphy, the Ulen-Brooks Endowed Coach for Harvard Men's Swimming and Diving and head coach of Team USA's open water squad. "Haley has trained extremely hard for this moment and we could not be prouder of her."
Ristov led a majority of the race as a pack of five broke away from the rest of the field at Hyde Park. Anderson was the only competitor within striking distance of Ristov down the stretch, but the Hungarian was able to hold off the American during the sprint to the finish. Ristov's winning time was recorded at 1 hour, 57 minutes, 38.2 seconds while Anderson clocked in at 1 hour, 57 minutes, 38.6 seconds.
Murphy will return to Hyde Park tomorrow as Harvard alum and medal hopeful Alex Meyer '10 takes to the water for the men's 10k marathon. Meyer was named USA Swimming's 2011 Fran Crippen Memorial Male Open Water Swimming of the Year after placing fourth at the Open Water World Championships to qualify for the London Games.

Drug Product
CF102 is an oral small molecule drug generically known as Cl-IB-MECA (2-chloro-N6-(3-iodobenzyl)-adenosine-5'- N-methyl-uronamide), a highly specific and selective agonist at the A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR):
Preclinical Pharmacology
CF102 has potent anti-cancer effect, particularly against hepatocellular carcinoma, and anti-inflammatory activity demonstrated in pre-clinical animal models of liver inflammation.
Mechanism of Action
CF102 mechanism of action is mediated via de-regulation of the NF-κB and the Wnt signal transduction pathways, resulting in apoptosis of tumor cells. The protective effect of CF102 is mediated via down-regulation of the NF-κB signal transduction pathway and preventing apoptosis.
The safety of CF102 has been demonstrated in preclinical studies, Phase I clinical study and in human Phase I/II clinical studies demonstrating a favorable safety profile.
Phase I/II study in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) successfully met its primary and secondary endpoints demonstrating initial indications for efficacy of CF102. A global Phase II study treating patients with CF102 as a second line therapy will start enroling patients shortly.

Battle Subway - Trainer Catalogue
Like the Battle Towers in Sinnoh & Johto, the Battle Subway has you battle against many trainers, in streaks of seven at a go until you lose. These trainers have a massive pool of Pokémon from which their Pokémon are drawn and the number they use varies depending upon which type of battling you are doing. Single Battle draws three, Double draws four, Multi draws two. This means the combinations of Pokémon you encounter in the Battle Subway are endless. The trainers you face will also change depending on how far you get
As the Pokémon in the trainers'pool can reach numbers as high as 96, they have all been seperated within one single page per trainer. Use the drop-down menu to navigate.
To further aid your Battle Subway Challenges, the following list sorts the trainers by the line in which you'll battle them.

DURHAM — A film screening and discussion at the University of New Hampshire takes on the widespread and growing issue of bullying Wednesday, April 10.A free screening of the documentary film "Bully: The Movie" will be followed by an audience discussion of bullying led by a panel of UNH experts. The event, sponsored by UNH Cooperative Extension, the departments of education and social work, and the Browne Center, is at 6:30 p.m. in Theatre II of the Memorial Union Building at UNH.
"Bully" is the first documentary to show the wide-ranging effects of bullying on its victims, perpetrators, and witnesses. The film opens on the first day of school, a day filled with anxiety for the more than 13 million kids who will be bullied this year in the U.S. From the first day of school through the last, the character-driven "Bully" explores the lives of a few people touched by bullying.
"Every school in the U.S. is grappling with bullying — each day more than 160,000 kids across the country are absent because they're afraid of being bullied — but for many districts it's just one more problem that gets swept under the rug," say the film's producers, Cynthia Lowen and Lee Hirsch (who also directed).
"We're pleased to share this important film with the UNH and Seacoast community, and we hope to have students and students as well as community members join us," says Malcolm Smith, youth and family education and policy specialist with UNH Cooperative Extension and extension associate professor in the family studies department.
Smith, a bullying expert who is co-author and project director of the "Courage to Care" project through Cooperative Extension, will moderate an audience discussion after the screening. Courage to Care co-creators Rick Alleva, extension field specialist in positive learning environments for youth, and Jeff Frigon, youth programs support at the Browne Center, will join him on the panel, as well as faculty from education and social work.

The Bahamas participated in a high-level coaches course for soccer recently, paving the way for higher performance out of Bahamian female soccer players.
Mary Woodside Knowles represented The Bahamas at the Pan American Sports Organization's (PASO) Continental High Level Technical Course on Women's Football. The course, held in Queretaro, Mexico, drew 45 participants from 25 countries.
"The women's game is becoming faster, stronger, more technical, more tactical and more competitive," Woodside Knowles said when reporting on the course. "A technical player who is good but not physically trained will be limited as to how far she can go because she has not been pushed physically. At the same time, we do not only depend on physical training because the more skilled, best coached and the more tactical team will probably win over the team that is fit with no skill."
Although some cultures discourage girls in playing soccer, Bahamians are now seeing the importance of allowing girls to play the game at young ages, Ms. Woodside Knowles said. She noted that approximately 200 girls between ages three and 12 are playing organized soccer in Grand Bahama.
The high level course in Mexico was lectured by Coach Leonardo Cuellar, head coach of the Mexican national women's football team since its inception in 1989, and Coach Mehdi Mehdaouli, who is responsible for strength and physical training of the Mexican national women's teams.
Ms. Woodside Knowles is pictured with Coach Leonardo Cuellar.

Heavy soils and overwatering can lead to fruit cracking as the plants pull in too much water.
If you took a survey of the millions of gardeners in America asking which vegetable is the most popular, no doubt tomatoes would either win the contest or be at the top of the list. Anyone who has ever grown a backyard tomato knows that there is no comparison to the flavor and quality of a freshly grown tomato compared to one purchased at the supermarket. While tomatoes are arguably the king of the vegetable garden, they can be challenging at times because this tropical fruit can be finicky. As one of the state vegetable specialists for the University of Georgia, I receive hundreds of questions each season regarding various vegetable issues. By far, tomato problems exceed those of any other vegetable. Whether that is because they just have more problems or because of how popular they are, they are definitely not easy to grow. Here I will outline what I see as the top 10 issues that can lead to tomato failure in the garden.
Planting too early
A frequent sight in late February after an unusual warm front – Bonnie plant trucks traveling down the road, delivering healthy transplants of tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables to garden centers throughout the South. A few warm days in February or March will send gardeners into a frenzy of buying plants and getting them into the ground. Tomatoes are tropical in nature, and planting them too early can lead to a number of problems. Tomatoes need to be planted based on soil temperatures and not necessarily air temperature. In the South, we can have air temperatures as high as 70 F, and yet the soil will remain quite cool. I prefer to let the soil warm up to a steady 60 to 65 F before I set out tomato plants. Using a soil thermometer, determine the soil temperature before purchasing your tomato transplants. Setting tomatoes out too early has no advantage, and doing so will more than likely lead to some problems. Stunting, tomato leaf curl and catfacing are some common disorders that occur when tomatoes get too cool.
Wrong soil pH
It probably goes without saying, but the pH of your soil is one of the most vital issues to be addressed. The pH directly correlates to the alkalinity or acidity of the soil and greatly affects how well your tomato will be able to absorb nutrients and grow. Typically, I see problems with a low pH more often than a high pH, but neither is conducive to proper growing. Tomatoes do best in a slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.2 to 6.8. Soil testing at least every other year is imperative to get an accurate handle on your pH level. The pH can be adjusted by adding the proper amount of agricultural lime if it is low or adding sulfur if the pH is too high. Test and adjust your pH several months before the growing season begins to give amendments enough time to affect the soil.
Strong cages or some other form of sturdy support is important to prevent heavy branches from breaking.
Too much nitrogen
I wish I had a dollar for every time someone called and said they have a 10-foot-tall tomato plant that looks great, but with no blooms. I typically respond that they must be using a liquid fertilizer and 99 percent of the time I am correct. The liquid fertilizer itself is not the problem, the high concentration of nitrogen is. While nitrogen is an essential nutrient for growing healthy tomatoes, too much of a good thing can be damaging. Nitrogen's primary function is to encourage new green growth on a plant, and excessive amounts can "over-encourage" this. Liquid fertilizers are usually high in nitrogen and difficult to calibrate. People tend to use more than necessary, resulting in a lush green plant with no blooms, and therefore, no tomatoes. Fertilize your tomatoes at planting time and don't fertilize again until the plants have small baby tomatoes, about the size of a dime. You can then feed the plant additional nitrogen without fear of losing the crop.
Improper support for the vine
Many folks growing tomatoes for the first time don't realize how large they can get as the vines begin to sprawl out in every different direction. Tomatoes, even under normal conditions, can easily reach 4-6 feet tall. When they put out a heavy set of fruit, this adds additional weight to the viny branches. Adequate support in the form of a cage, trellis or some type of string system, must be provided to prevent the tomato from toppling over. Some of the tiny little cages I have seen for sale are just not adequate enough to hold up the weight of a heavy-bearing tomato plant. I prefer to use strong cages made out of hog wire with 4-inch square holes. I pin them into the ground with metal tent stakes to keep them secure. Tomatoes that are not well supported will bend over and break, which will eventually lead to the demise of the entire plant.
Improper watering
In order to produce a successful tomato crop, they must receive sufficient water. Tomatoes do best when the soil is kept evenly moist, neither too dry nor too soggy. Overhead irrigation should be avoided to help prevent potential disease problems that may occur if the foliage stays wet, as well as to avoid watering non-target areas. Hand watering at the base of the plants, soaker hoses or drip irrigation are the best methods to irrigate your plants. Depending on the type of soil you have and how much rainfall received, you may need to irrigate your tomatoes two to four times a week.
Weed competition
Any time you till the soil or dig into it to plant your vegetables, you are more than likely pulling up millions of weed seeds as well. Weeds compete for nutrients and moisture while also looking unsightly in the garden. No matter how you look at it, there is nothing good about a weed and they should be kept out of your tomato garden. Heavy competition from weeds can cause tomatoes to appear lethargic and greatly decrease their yield. Control weeds by using mulch, landscape fabric or labeled herbicides. Keeping weeds out is easier than removing them once they have emerged.
Warm, humid environments are the ideal place for diseases to thrive, so crops in some areas must be watched carefully.
Failure to control diseases
Anyone who grows tomatoes in the South will undoubtedly have to battle an array of diseases that can attack tomatoes. The list of potential diseases is a long one, but failure to pay attention can result in complete failure of the crop. Disease probably takes out more tomatoes each season than anything else. To combat diseases, begin by selecting resistant cultivars. Plant your tomatoes with adequate space around each plant to ensure optimal airflow. At the first sign of disease symptoms, pick off and remove affected foliage. Virus-ridden plants should be completely removed from the garden site. Depending on the disease, chemical controls may be necessary to help stop the spread of the problem.
Failure to control insects
Very similar to diseases, insects love the South almost as much as the people who live here. While the majority of bugs you see in the garden are probably beneficial, there are a small handful of guys that can wreak havoc in the garden. The best way to control insects is to be out in the garden regularly and on the lookout for any signs of attack. Depending on the type of insect, control can include anything from handpicking to organic or chemical options.
Poor soil drainage
Depending on where you live, you may be blessed with dark, loamy soil and no drainage problems. However, many of us have to deal with heavy clay soils that drain slowly and can hold moisture for days. Continuous excess moisture around tomato roots can lead to root rot and other potential diseases. If you are dealing with heavy soils, combat poor drainage by adding a minimum of 4 inches of good topsoil into the mix. Better yet, consider using raised beds – 6-8 inches or higher – to grow your tomatoes.
A lack of calcium in the soil or a calcium deficiency caused by uneven watering can result in blossom-end rot.
Lack of calcium in the soil
If you grow tomatoes, you may experience a physiological problem known as blossom-end rot. Blossom-end rot is due to a lack of calcium, either not enough in the soil or if adequate moisture is not provided, the roots aren't able to absorb the calcium needed. This causes a black, leathery sunken spot on the blossom side of the tomato, rendering it inedible. It is a fairly common problem and worth mentioning.
There are certainly many more problems a gardener may have when growing tomatoes, but these are the most likely. The good news is that all of these can be prevented or cured to some extent, and by following the advice I have given, you should have plenty of tomatoes for your table, as well as some to give away to your friends.

KSP trooper struck on I-65 in Bullitt County
A 20-year Kentucky State Police veteran was just hours from retirement when he was hit by a passing motorist on Interstate 65.
At last check, the trooper was in stable condition at University of Louisville Hospital.
With blaring sirens and numerous police cars, it was an escort fit for a 20-year police veteran as Tpr. Sam Shacklette was rushed to the hospital.
Ninety minutes earlier, police said Shacklette stopped a vehicle on I-65 near Lebanon Junction and stepped out of his car.
"And while out on foot he was struck by a motor vehicle that was going northbound at that location. We got troopers to him pretty quick because we had a trooper down there close by. Bullitt county sent an ambulance," said KSP Tpr. Jeff Gregory.
Police blocked off the northbound lanes at Exit 102, backing up traffic nearly to Elizabethtown.
Many drivers were detoured onto the Joe Prather Highway.
Investigators began reconstructing the accident, which police said happened in a work zone.
"It's been a number of years since we've had a trooper that was hit by a motorist out on a traffic stop, but it has happened before and I think just about anybody you speak to that's been in law enforcement would be able to tell you about a close call or even someone that's been struck," said Gregory.
State troopers said to avoid these potentially tragic situations, they offer the following advice -- "We just ask that they slow down and move over a lane and be cautious, because you never know what can happen if someone steps out. Anything could happen out there on the interstate," said Gregory.
As for Shacklette, Gregory said they're thrilled he's going to be OK.
"Quite a day for your last day at work," said Gregory.
Shacklette's retirement was set to start at midnight Saturday night.
Shacklette's wife is a dispatcher with KSP. She was at the hospital with him Saturday.
The driver who police said hit the trooper was identified as 43-year-old Louis Edward Dunn.
He has been charged with failure to give the right of way to an emergency stopped vehicle, operating on an expired license and no proof of insurance.

By Meg Gray, KF9 Nicaragua
This is Part 3 of 3 in a series of blogs discussing remittances that were inspired by a recent UN Human Development Report on migration. As you will see from our posts, there are many perspectives to look at and the issue is by no means simple. I encourage you to read Part 1 posted by Rob from Kyrgyzstan and Part 2 posted by Agnes from Samoa earlier today.
"Half of Nicaragua lives in Costa Rica," said one of my coworkers at CEPRODEL when I asked him about remittances, "Everyone has someone sending them money." This is an exaggeration of course, but his statement does hint at the tremendous importance remittances and migration play in Nicaragua's economy. Roughly 10% of Nicaragua's population abroad is living abroad with 48% of this group living in Latin America and 44% living in North America. More than 400,000 Nicaraguans live in Costa Rica alone, accounting for more than 10% of Costa Rica's population. With a significant portion of its population abroad it is no wonder that remittances account for 12.9% of Nicaragua's GDP. The significant number of people moving back and forth between Nicaragua and Costa Rica in particular hints at the complexity of migration and remittance flows. It isn't just developing countries sending people to developed countries. It is much more complicated than that. As if to mirror this complexity, while working at CEPRODEL, I keep coming across clients, programs, and stories that demonstrate elements of this convoluted theme.
On my first visit to CEPRODEL's branch office in Nagarote, I handed branch manager Miguel Calderón a list of Kiva borrowers that I wanted to visit. Looking at the list, Miguel slowly shook his head and said, "You can't meet Juana. She left. She went to Costa Rica to look for work." I never got to speak with Juana about why she left, but after doing a little research the economic incentives for leaving Nicaragua were clear. When I ask Nicaraguans what the unemployment rate is they usually ballpark the number at about 30%. Officially, the unemployment rate in Nicaragua was only 5.6% in 2008, but it is expected to rise considerably by the end of this year. The underemployment rate, however, was 46.5% in 2008 and this is also expected to rise dramatically in 2009 due to the worldwide economic crisis. Underemployment is defined as a worker who is employed, but not employed to their desired capacity in terms of hours, pay, or skill level. For instance, I have met many people here who make and sell bread or ice cream or nacatamales from their home. If this is their only form of income, they are likely underemployed since depending on the scale of their sales this income alone is probably not enough to live on. Despite a rise in unemployment in Costa Rica due to the economic crisis, it is still viewed as a land of opportunity for Nicaraguans. Though moving to the United States or Spain is the ultimate dream of some, Costa Rica is closer, cheaper, and easier to get into (both legally and illegally).
Despite the economic opportunity being created by microfinance organizations like CEPRODEL, every day I hear about clients, friends and family members who have left the country to look for work. Since Juana, I have come across only one other Kiva client who has actually left the country, but everyone seems to have a daughter, son, or sibling who is living abroad. "My daughter moved away 15 years ago," said María Nieves wistfully, "There was more opportunity there. More jobs." The UNDP Human Development Report from October 2009 suggests that "for many people in developing countries, moving away from their home town or village can be the best—sometimes the only—option open to improve their life chances. Human mobility can be hugely effective in raising a person's income, health and education prospects." One concrete example of benefit the report gives is that "a family who migrates from Nicaragua to Costa Rica increases the probability that their child will be enrolled in primary school by 22 percent." Anecdotally, I have heard of many more direct benefits received. I have talked to people who receive remittances specifically for school fees, mammograms, medicine, and more.
Though the economic benefit to leaving may be fairly clear, the overall picture is much more complicated. Miguel, the CEPRODEL branch manager, laments the effects of migration. "It is wonderful to see our loans helping businesses develop," he said, "but the really great thing is that these people haven't left the country to look for work." He went on to explain that if people had enough economic opportunities in Nicaragua they wouldn't have to leave. When people leave, families are torn apart and mothers can't have dinner with their children he continues, a situation which he finds tragic. Besides the effects on families, many people talk about the tension migration creates between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. I'm going to Costa Rica to visit other Kiva Fellows for Thanksgiving. When I told a coworker this he said, "Don't tell them you're from Nicaragua. They won't let you in." Costa Rican immigration policies are a hot button issue and every Nicaraguan seems to have a story about an atrocity committed against a Nicaraguan while they were working in Costa Rica. They run the gamut from horrible working conditions (for which there is a lot of evidence) to Nicaraguans being killed by angry mobs (for which I have found less evidence). Despite these negative effects, the flow of workers and remittances continues, suggesting that the good outweighs the bad.
Remittances from Costa Rica are so ubiquitous that organizations like CEPRODEL are creating programs to facilitate the remittance process. CEPRODEL partners with FOLADE (Foundation for the Development of Latin America) so they can offer remittance services to CEPRODEL clients through Remesas Instantaneas (Instant Remittances). Through this program, Nicaraguans living in Costa Rica can go to various stores and businesses throughout Costa Rica and to send money to family or friends back home in Nicaragua for a small fee. The Costa Rican stores and businesses are selected as sending points because they are near large Nica communities or frequented by a large number of Nicas. The money is then sent to the CEPRODEL branch that is closest to the recipient and the family member in Nicaragua only has to go to the branch and show their ID to pick up the money. About 500 people send money back to Nicaragua every month using this service. Just a drop in the remittance bucket.
There are several things that make CEPRODEL's program with Remesas Instantaneas more popular with clients than more widely known methods of sending remittances such as banks or Western Union. First, it is cheaper. There is a $3 commission to send a remittance with Remesas Instantaneas. CEPRODEL gets about $1 of the commission and FOLADE gets the other $2. Other methods are generally more expensive. Western Union for example charges $16 and the Banco Nacional charges over $11. Take a look at this chart for more details. Second, the person sending the remittance does not have to be in Costa Rica legally. To send a remittance from Costa Rica, the client must supply the ID information for the person who is going to receive the remittance, but they do not have to show their own papers. This is very important to a lot of people, Doña Eligia, the Director of CEPRODEL's program said. Right now, CEPRODEL's remittance program is only set up to accommodate remittances from Costa Rica. They think a similar program would be popular for remittances coming from the United States in the future, but would also be harder to set up since Nicaraguan immigrants are not as geographically concentrated in the United States.
Interestingly enough, the remittance program is often the first contact CEPRODEL has with both the sender and the receiver of the remittances. Occasionally, CEPRODEL has clients sending remittances directly to loan officers with instructions to use the money to pay off an outstanding loan (either their own or a family members). It is more common, however, that CEPRODEL has never met either party and can use the remittance program to spread awareness about other programs. Doña Eligia told me that it is fairly common for the remittance recipients to begin getting loans for their small businesses from CEPRODEL as well.
Leaving the country permanently is one method of taking advantages of Costa Rica's relative prosperity, but there are others. When I asked Kiva borrower Aurelia Hernandez, what her goals for the future were, she said she would like a larger loan to help her get into the clothing business and to pay for her to travel to Costa Rica to sell the clothing. Aurelia, who currently works making tejadas (which are similar to banana chips, only made out of plantains), is not the only Kiva borrowers I have spoken to who has this desire. In fact, many people are already doing this. Kiva borrower, Reyna Ruiz buys clothing in Nicaragua where it is cheaper and then goes to Costa Rica for 4-5 days at a time to sell it. Many other Nicaraguans work seasonal jobs in Costa Rica helping with the coffee harvest or in the tourist industry. As you can see, the flow of immigrants, remittances, and other monies between Costa Rica and Nicaragua is by no means clear-cut. In every case, there are positives and negatives. What is clear is that people are going to continue to move in search of economic opportunity especially if they live in a country where this is lacking relative to its neighbors or the rest of the world. I, for one, think that microfinance is one way to begin creating a world where fewer people need to leave their loved ones and communities behind in order to find economic opportunity.
