Weekend Pigskin Potpourri … Morning Cup O'Chiefs
A hot and sticky Midwest weekend brought thoughts of football training camp, with the shimmer of heat rising off the playing field, and players trying to push through another workout in football's summer oven.
Then, the stark reality of Monday morning hits. As much as the weather turns thoughts to pre-season preparation, the National Football League, the Chiefs and training camp are in limbo.
Give or take a day or two, its 53 days from the time the Chiefs camp would open at Missouri Western in St. Joseph. It's less than 70 days from the first pre-season game.
As each day passes, it becomes more and more of a "hurry-up and wait" scenario. Neither side has suffered irrevocable damage at this point, not the players, not the league. It's just the third party, the fans that grows more frustrated, worried and just pissed off as each day gets ripped from the lockout calendar.
What follows are some news, notes and observations from what little action there was floating around the world of pro football over the weekend.
Judge Kermit E. Bye of the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has sided with the NFL players on two votes involving the league's lockout.
But that didn't keep him from passing out a bit of advice to both sides last Friday when players and owners made their oral arguments in the NFL's appeal of a lower court ruling removing the league's lockout.
Lawyers for players and owners spoke for about 30 minutes each, taking questions during their presentations from the three judges. There was really only one noteworthy exchange during the proceeding and we'll get to that in a few moments.
When all was done, Bye got right to the point.
"We will take this case and render a decision in due course," Bye said. "We won't, I might also say, be all that hurt that you're leaving us out if you should go out and settle the case. But that's up to you.
"But we will keep with our business and if that ends up with a decision, it's probably something both sides are not going to like, but at least it will be a decision."
Consider those last few words again:
"… something both sides are not going to like, but at least it will be a decision."
Now that's the kind of comment and pressure that might actually get something done in this dispute. Thanks Judge Bye! It was a step in the right direction. Now, was anybody involved paying attention?
It took two lawyers and three judges just a shade more than one hour to hear the arguments on the NFL's appeal of a lower court ruling declaring illegal the current lockout.
Not much new ground was established in the orals, with the only real surprise coming from NFL attorney Paul Clement who indicated that the league believes the lockout needs to run for "one business cycle" to accurately assess its validity. That would be 12 months.
The $500-an hour lawyer types that the NFL can hire do not make verbal slips, so we have to assume that he was speaking from some knowledge. It suggests that the league has already established in the minds of the owners – or vice-a-versa – that they are not only prepared but willing to sit out a season to get the type of labor deal they can live with.
Ugh! Comments like that punch the ticket for another ride on the lockout roller coaster.
Sometime on Monday, the big door at the Oneida Correctional Facility in Rome, New York will clang shut behind WR Plaxico Burress as he gets out of prison after spending the better part of the last two years incarcerated for violating the gun rules of the city of New York.
As a refresher, it was late November 2008 when Burress carried an unregistered 40-caliber Glock pistol into the Manhattan night club called the Latin Quarter. The gun slipped out of the waist band on his pants and slid down his leg. As he tried to grab it on the outside of his pants, he ended up squeezing the trigger, shooting himself in the thigh.
The incident broke two very strict New York City laws involving gun ownership and hidden guns in places where a large number of people have gathered.
Listen, don't get me wrong here – Burress is a knucklehead and always has been. He's stepped over the line so many times with the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants during his NFL career that sooner or later his escapability was going to be compromised. That's what happened when he went to a New York City club with a hand gun. When you consider what some other athletes have gotten away with over the years and paid the price of nothing more than a slap on the wrist. Sure, Burress could have hurt a lot of innocent people if his gun had gone off in his pants and the bullet traveled in the other direction, rather than into his leg.
Burress agent is Drew Rosenhaus and he said last week that he knew plenty of interest in his client and he would have the opportunity to play in 2011.
What to expect from Burress? He will be 34 in August and he's not caught a pass since November 16, 2008. He's been able to work out in jail, but he's not had the types of training that get a receiver, especially an older receiver, at the top of his game for the start of camp. Like Michael Vick before him, he will get a chance to revamp his image and show where he can make a valuable contribution to a team trying to win a championship.
And, what of the Chiefs? Do they and should they have an interest in Plaxico Burress? I can't imagine there's much of a feeling on the second level of the team's facility that signing Plax would help the '11 Chiefs. Yes, they need offensive firepower. They hope they are getting that from rookie WR Jonathan Baldwin. It's hard to see where he might fit, but there's no doubt he would raise the talent level at the position.
If a reasonable contract could be worked out – heavy on incentives, light on signing bonuses and the like – it might be worth a shot.
It might also be a headache of the type not worth the trouble.

Most meaningful negotiations start happening in the so-called '11th hour' which begs the question as to when does the clock strike 11? It has to be close to that time.
As to the legal issues, this process seems to be repeating itself as it appears resolution is at the same stage as it was over a month ago when Judge Nelson pretty much said the same things as this St Louis bunch.
Are the owners really ready to take a big bite out of that shi-ite sandwich and flush the 2011 season down the tubes? Frankly, I'm surprised the players have held together to this point.
High stakes poker drama at the final table….CONTINUES.
June 6, 2011 - Chuck says:
I think that the players that are getting towards the tail end of their careers probably are extra frustrated right now. This is starting to leave a real ugly taste in a lot of fans mouths right now. And when Manning and Brady filed their law suits it really disgusted me big time. Take a look at their salarys. I find these guys disgusting too.
June 6, 2011 - aPauled says:
The owners are taking a real chance here, esp. if this suit Clement is listened to. I don't think that the American people are in much of a mindset to accept and forgive any part of the NFL season being canceled much less an entire season. There won't be enough tarps to cover the seats, so that games can be televised to those who are forgiving enough to watch.
June 6, 2011 - el cid says:
Interesting comments, but will the fans be so desparate for their football fix, they will forgive anything. Ancient Rome had bread and circus's and lasted hundreds of year keeping the populace sedated by its leaders, will we follow with our football?
June 6, 2011 - Haley's Ego says:
Fook fuctball.
Or something like that, anyway. I'm pissed over the whole deal.
Don't miss it a bit right now, though. In the fall, it'll be a different story.
Just hard to believe that these guys can't come to some sort of an agreement. Damn, this isn't Middle East peace. It's football.
June 9, 2011 - tfjtfj says:
all morons if they don't come to an agreement before the preseason. lose 1 billion via the preseason for what?
just silly
June 9, 2011 - el cid says:
The big picture. What's a billion now and when you have billions forever (or until you die) and break the players thrown in as a bonus. There is real hate between players and owners, the money does not seem to matter all that much.

As co-chefs, Hudman and Ticer see each other daily, but the old friends still cook together on days off. "Andy does the steak," says Hudman, "and I do the pasta."
Leave a Review
I'm really on the fence with this one. It grew on me with time, but it also still had a bit of a grown-up pasta-roni character as someone else here termed it. Added a jalapeno for extra heat (still wasn't spicy enough for my preference), although the Salvadoran-style chorizo I used is usually less spicy. I'm not convinced of the usefulness of the chickpeas (and I like chickpeas), but I'm not sure if I was convinced enough that this combination deserves a second try. Jicama (subs. chickpea) and black garlic might be worthy alterations that can maybe subvert the pastaroniness from the chorizo Have to chuckle at the one comment about calories. This is pasta and sausage, what are you expecting?
This was a really good quick and easy supper. I used italian sausage. The changes I made were to add red peppers, a bit extra tomato paste and white wine. I did not add the extra pasta water. Kids really liked it.
Nice simple recipe. Interesting combination of flavors. Sauce comes out pretty thin - not much tomato flavor, just a very slight coating on the pasta. The sausage and chickpea combo was interesting.
Mediocre is right.
was inspired to make the recipe as I had all the ingredients available. It was very easy to make. Wish I would have tasted the chorizo after it was cooked, it was plenty spicy and didn't need the red pepper flakes. I agree with another reviewer, "why use expensive shallots when the flavor gets lost." the main flavor is chorizo. I did add 1 Tbsp of sugar. It helped a bit. But DH had to add BBQ sauce to finish his serving. If you want easy and mediocre this is the recipe for you
I just made this using chorizo. I took the casing off but there was no way I could break it apart with a spoon in the skillet. I ended up with chucks of chorizo and the sauce took forever to thicken. Not sure I will try this again. My two daughters liked it (except the garbanzo beans!) but we love chorizo (I am half Basque) but I guess I need a better chorizo!
Not a review, I haven't made it, but why use expensive shallots here when the other flavors here will obviously overpower them. Plain old onion sounds good to me.
Great quick weeknight dinner. I made it with about 6 oz of Italian sausage (all I had in the freezer) and felt that was plenty of meat.
This was a last minute kind of dish I made cause I wanted something simple and relatively quick. I couldn't find any fresh chorizo but I used hot italian sausage instead. I followed the recipe, using medium shells for the pasta and cutting back on the amount of pepper flakes. I found that the sausage had enough spiciness and didn't want to overwhelm the kids. Following another reviewer, I added about a tablespoon of capers and a bit of the brine from the jar. My kids loved this and I liked it a lot...into the rotation you go!!
Delicious worth trying it!

On a related note; a real challenge is also to just compute one of the entries in the table. Especially for higher values. If we number the table as follows: it can be said to define a function F(n,m). For instance: However for higher values of n this function returns very large numbers around the point F(n,n/2). This are the numbers in the center of the table. For instance try computing F(400,200) or F(400,199). These numbers are so large they do not fit into a floatingpoint number. It's of course possible to use the BigInt package, but that slows down computation, and uses quite some memory. Hence just printing the table for large values of n becomes impossible. However the numbers around F(n,n), and F(n,1) stay pretty small for large n and could be computed. These are the numbers at the edge of the table. For instance F(400,1) = F(400,400) = 1, and even F(400,5) is computable. Finding F(n,m) is useful for several statistical and counting problems. However writing a program that efficiently computes F(n,m) for any n,m, is quite a challenge! (At least I found it quite a challenge when I tried to write one.) One approach is to 'walk' the edge of the table towards the entry that needs to be computed. Thereby avoiding the center of the table with all the giant numbers. But there must be a more effecient way to compute F .... any suggestions? Have Fun In reply to Re: Binomial Golf

Statement from Tribune Editor and Senior Vice President Ann Marie Lipinski Regarding Paul Salopek
Aug 26, 2006, 01:00 ET from Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- "Our colleague and dear friend, Paul Salopek, is one of the most accomplished and admired journalists of our time. He is not a spy. Our fervent hope is that the authorities in Sudan will recognize his innocence and quickly allow Paul to return home to his wife, Linda, and to his colleagues. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060826/NYSA010 ) "Paul has been a reporter for the Chicago Tribune for more than a decade. He has an impeccable reputation for integrity and for serious work dedicated to the dignity and worth of people everywhere. "He began a scheduled leave of absence from the newspaper earlier this month and was traveling in Chad reporting a freelance assignment for National Geographic magazine before he was detained. Since we learned of Paul's detention in Sudan, we have been working diligently to seek his release. "Paul's work in Chicago and around the world has been extraordinary. He has won two Pulitzer Prizes for the Tribune, the first in 1998 for his brilliant reporting on the Human Genome Diversity Project. His second Pulitzer was awarded in 2001 in recognition of his compassionate eyewitness reporting on the lives of the people of Africa. "We are deeply worried about Paul and his well being, and appeal to the government of Sudan to return him safely home."

A great thing is love...
"A great thing is love--a great good in every way: which alone lightens all that is burdensome, and bears equally all that is unequal. For it carries a burden without being burdened, and makes all else that is bitter sweet and savory."
The Following of Christ
Hidden paths...
"Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though I've often passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun."
--J. R. R. Tolkien

Gavin Brown's enterprise Restages Jonathan Horowitz's "Go Vegan!"
Jonathan Horowitz, "Go Vegan!". May 9th - June 19th, 2010. Installation View. Photo by Thomas Mueller. Courtesy of the artist and Gavin Brown's enterprise.
Gavin Brown's enterprise
(GBE) presents the restaging of Jonathan Horowitz's widely acclaimed 2002 exhibition Go Vegan! Originally presented at Greene Naftali Gallery, this major installation work will be updated by the artist for a new site: the former butchery of storied meat purveyor Pat LaFrieda Meats, which stands adjacent to GBE at 601 Washington Street.
Opening May 9th, Go Vegan! takes the form of a full-scale, multi-room environment. The work includes a portrait gallery of more than 200 celebrity vegetarians, from philosopher and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson to late comic Andy Kaufman, whose images have been downloaded from the Internet; a gallery of animal portraits; a video installation featuring film of Paul McCartney and his late wife Linda Eastman McCartney, as well as footage of commercial animal slaughter; and a Minimalist tofu sculpture. By turns violent and comical, the project is a vivid, engaging and forthright attack on complacency.
Go Vegan! will be the inaugural exhibition the newly expanded GBE, which has taken over the 10,000 square foot LaFrieda coolers and tiled meat processing spaces that extend behind the gallerys existing 620 Greenwich Street address, along the full length of Leroy Street in the far West Village. Horowitzs project will open with a Green Ribbon-cutting event and reception to mark the transformation of this site from a meatpacking factory to a lab for artmaking and cultural commerce.
The exhibition will remain on view through June 19th.
Go Vegan!
With its signature combination of subjectivity, pathos and humor, Jonathan Horowitzs Go Vegan! explores vegetarianism and sustainability while also hinting at parallel issues that emerge in a world gorging daily upon celebrity and commoditized pop culture.
The perceived non-threatening nature of vegetarianism as a subject for political art conceals its potency as a stand-in for other highly charged social issues of our day, ranging from war to AIDS. When one examines the troubling contradictions astonishing cruelty, environmental and health risks, economic imbalances - involved with the business behind and mass consumption of meat, vegetarianism takes on the urgency of much larger debates in which the survival of the human race is at stake. Every year, as the connection between meat consumption and climate change becomes more apparent, the words of Albert Einstein become more and more prophetic: "Nothing will increase the chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
Preceded by "Obama 08" and "The New Communism" in 2005, "Go Vegan!" is Jonathan Horowitz's third solo show at Gavin Brown's enterprise. Other recent exhibitions of work by the artist include Apocalypto Now at Museum Ludwig, Cologne, 2009; And/Or at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, New York, 2009; and Free Store, Sadie Coles HQ, London, 2009.

Marat Safin and Teimuraz Gabashvili visited an orphanage in St. Petersburg while in town for the St. Petersburg Open. Listen carefully, gals, Marat has a message for you:
Hear that? Marat says retirement will give him plenty of time to find the right woman and make babies. Single ladies, renew those passports!
Oh, and of course it's very nice that Marat and Teimuraz visited the orphanage and played with the kids. Perhaps in a few years, Marat and his woman can be Russia's own Brangelina.
UPDATE: A Russian video via Forty Deuce includes a funny "do as I say, not as I do" exchange between Marat and a little boy:

MIRACLE?Sep 11, 2004 Hello, my boyfriend was diagnosed HIV+ mid of april. Viral load was 155,000 and CD4 120. The doctor put him on therapy immidiately, so he got EPIVIR, ZERIT, STROCIN + antibiotic. He got another test in July and his CD4 are 134 but viral load undetectable?! I find this very strange or just don't understend how the treatment works as this seems like a miracle. He feels well, looks well, doesnt have any side effects. Do you think it's really possible that only after a two month treatment person gets undetectable? Thanks in advance and keep up with good work you are doing. V. |
Response from Dr. YoungThank you for your post and kind words. Ten years ago we would have thought it a miracle to have a viral load go undetectable. Now, with effective therapies, like the one that your boyfriend is taking, we actually expect viral loads to reach undetectable levels, and often within 8 weeks of starting treatment. The key thing for him (and you) is to continue to be diligent on taking the medications, as missed doses often translate into premature failure of treatment and the emergence of drug resistance. Good luck, let us know how things go for you and him. BY | ||||||||||

Normally, lilies are very easy to grow and take very little care. However, there are on occasion, some instances and conditions that need investigation to figure out what, if anything, is happening and I hope this article helps you.
In certain circumstances, lilies are prone to attack by several animal, insects, mites, nematodes, and other pests of all different sizes…from deer, elk, rodents to microscopic mites. The presence or absence of a pest depends on the region, climate zone in which the plants are grown, alternative or IPM (Integrated Pest Management) methods used, and what sort of treatments have been used (foliar or above ground, soil treatments, and systemic chemicals), specifically non-selective treatments or chemicals. However, you must understand that not all alternatives and chemicals are a 100% solution for every pest or problem, but should be used together. The best plan of attack is to use an Integrated Pest Management program, whether dealing with lily pests or any other plant pest for that matter. Alternatives to chemicals may work for several situations or pest, however, they are intended for a specific problem and can do more damage to your lily or plant if not used correctly. Be careful when using non-selective chemical or alternatives to chemicals, you can also kill your natural predators! One can be assured that insect, mites, and other pests are never as devastating as diseases such as Botrytis, Fusarium, or viruses, which can destroy whole crops and garden plantings in a very short period of time.
The most important insect or "bug" pests are aphids. These need to be controlled at all costs and as soon as they are noticed! Few insects breed more rapidly and spread viruses fast, so every measure should be taken to eradicate them on their first appearance, eggs included. This is crucial if one is growing varieties or species known to be susceptible to virus. All species of aphids that colonize lilies not only spread virus disease, but they also debilitate the plants physically, causing twisted leaves and flower buds along with stem distortion.
Aphids produce their young aggressively in large numbers. Remember, this is nature and all things in nature live by three rules…1.) Reproduce, 2.) Eat, 3.) Survive. On an infested plant one can often see large female aphids surrounded by scores of tiny offspring. These insects move by crawling and at times also produce winged migrant offspring that can fly for surprisingly long distances to colonize other plantings.
Granular systemic insecticides are the best way to control aphids and will not harm beneficial microbial or insect predators in the soil. When watered into the soil, the insecticide is taken up by the roots and absorbed through the conducting tissues of the plants. The aphids, being sucking insects, are then killed by the poisoned sap. This class of control is particularly effective in container plantings where the chemical remains concentrated longer. Systemic insecticide sprays, should be applied at the first sign of an aphid attack and thereafter on a regular basis until the pest is eradicated. They can normally be combined with a fungicide, but check the label first.Always read and follow label directions carefully. The systemic insecticide Orthene (e.g., acephate) has been used quite successfully for aphid control when mixed with water at a 1% solution. Contrary to some internet articles and other beliefs, its' systemic action lasts for about ten days and can only be achieved by applying the mixture directly to the leaves. Malathion is a contact insecticide not a systemic. It will also destroy mites and any eggs that on the plant.
Mineral oil sprays can help reduce virus spread in many crops, including lilies. The film of oil kills the aphids and their eggs by smothering them a nd provides the lily leaf surface with a thin, protective barrier against near future invasions thus preventing Aphids from transmitting the disease through their style by clogging them. Oil sprays are considered to be somewhat effective in controlling viruses in commercial plantings. The weekly sprays used by most commercial growers may not be practical for home gardeners, but those with large lily plantings may find the effort worthwhile.
Be aware that oil spraying should be avoided during the heat of the day, when it may produce leaf scorch and distortion; try to do it just after sunrise or before sundown. A light summer oil, used at about 1 to 2 percent dilution, is effective. Oils are quite safe to use and can be combined with most insecticides and fungicides. There are various other systemic and contact insecticides that I will address in a future article, but these are the most common. A variety of products are available for fumigating greenhouses and I do not recommend this method for the home gardener. Too dangerous! Aphids, as well as a variety of other pests, are particularly troublesome in greenhouses, where the environment is perfect for their increase and their natural predators tend to be non-existent.
Insecticides available on the market change continually, but all must be used with the utmost care and caution. Always use rubber gloves and protective clothing; many insecticides can be absorbed through the skin and cause neurological damage.
Any spray can be dangerous to use on tender young seedlings. For this reason, it is better to control aphids, which are very attracted to seedlings, with a granular systemic insecticide, which is sprinkled on the soil and watered in. If aphids are continually moving into the planting from an outside source, efforts to control them are unlikely to be effective, unless the outside source can be treated, too. In extreme cases, hybridizers and other enthusiasts may grow lilies in aphid-proof screen houses; however, aphids can be carried into such structures on clothing or tools, so a spray program should be maintained or use insect predators, such as Preying Mantis. Migrant aphids can be inhibited from moving between plants by barriers of other vegetation or gauze; the barrier must exceed the height of the lilies.
Finally, aphids overwinter by laying eggs, which are produced in the migrant phase. It is thus important to destroy any dead plant material that may harbor overwintering eggs.
Bulb and Foliage Spider Mites
Spider mites are not a spider. They are members of the Acari (mite) family Tetranychidae, which includes about 1,600 species. They generally live on the under sides of leaves of plants where they may spin protective silk webs, and they can cause damage by puncturing the plant cells then sucking the chlorophyll from each puncture wound. Spider mites are known to feed on several hundred species of plant.
The loose structure of lily bulbs makes them susceptible to infestation by pests that live between the scales. Bulb mites (Rhizognyphus echinopus) are troublesome but usually secondary pests; they attack many other bulbs along with lilies.
The adult bulb mites are about the size of a pinhead, rounded, and yellowish white in color, often tinged with pink. The foliage mites are brown, red, light brown with two lightly colored brown spots. In warm climates they are usually present in large numbers, particularly just above the basal plate and between the scales, and on the foliage. They are so small, you'll need a magnifying glass or hand held lens to see them. They attack the roots and basal plate and eventually enter the center of the bulb. On the foliage, mites will make many piercing holes in the leaf and suck the chlorophyll thus leaving rust colored speckles where they have pierced. The following methods of control may be used against mites:
- Treat bulbs with hot water at 44°C (111°F) for one hour.
- Fumigate dry bulbs with Para dichlorobenzene (the active substance in mothballs) in an airtight container. Spread the fumigant over the bottom of the container, using 4 grams per liter of air space and exposing the bulbs for 12 hours.
- Dust the bulbs, and all foliage parts with flowers of sulfur. This is probably the best method for the home gardener.
- Apply mineral oil sprays to the foliage as often as needed.
- Soak the bulb for five minutes in mineral oil.
- Destroy badly infested bulbs by burning them.
Deer, hares, rabbits
These herbivores often nibble on young growth, buds, flowers, seedpods, and other plant parts; however, they are seldom seriously destructive. In rural areas gardens can be protected by deer- and rabbit-proof fences, adequately maintained. The presence of a dog often deters deer from invading, and many cats will prey on rabbits and rodents.
Chemical controls and repellants, trapping, and shooting offer only temporary solutions, if indeed they are effective at all. Foul-smelling concoctions, both homemade and commercial, are sometimes effective against deer. The material is placed in muslin sacks and suspended around the plantings.
Leatherjackets, wireworms, and millipedes
These groups of underground pests can cause damage and losses in lilies and other crops. All are prevalent in grassland and weed areas.
- Leather jackets are the larvae of the crane fly or daddy-long-legs (Tipulidae). They are sluggish, legless, dull-colored brownish creatures that may reach 3.75 centimeters (1.5 inches) in length.
- Wire worms are the larvae of click beetles. They are slender, smooth, tough, and wiry creatures, measuring up to 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) in length. They are golden yellow and have six very short legs. These pests burrow into bulbs.
- Millipedes are dull-colored, sluggish creatures with many legs. They curl up when disturbed.
All these underground pests can be controlled by dusting the ground with benzene hexachloride (BHC) or Bromophos. A nonchemical control involves baiting with slices of potato, carrot, or other root vegetable placed below the surface of the soil. These traps can be skewered on a stick to mark their position and lifted a few days later, when the attached pests can be destroyed.
Lily leaf beetle (Red Lily Beetle)
Long prevalent and withstanding in Europe, the lily leaf beetle (Lilioceris lilii) or Red Beetle has been reported in eastern North America, the eastern and Northern U.S., and eastern Canada. The larvae and adult beetles feed on the leaves of lilies and other liliaceous plants, including Convallaria (lily of the valley) Fritillaria. Both life stages have exceptionally voracious appetites and can devour entire plants within two hours!
The larva is a humpbacked, dirty yellow grub with a dark head, repulsively covering itself in dark, slimy excrement. Yuk! The adult is up to 8 millimeters (0.25 inch) long and bright scarlet with black legs and antennae. The eggs are laid on the underside of the foliage. The following controls are effective… Sorry, but the best and most effect control is with chemicals:
- Spray plants and soil with contact and systemic insecticides; both are effective. Products containing neem (Bon-Neem, Azatin), a botanical insecticide, have been shown to kill very young larvae but must be applied every five to seven days after egg hatch. Products containing the systemic imidacloprid are providing effective control applied either as a foliage spray or soil drench depending on label instructions. Imidacloprid is the active ingredient in Marathon and Merit and one of the active ingredients in Bayer Advanced Rose and Flower Insect Killer for home gardeners. Products containing spinosad, a microbial insecticide, are effective on larvae. Spinosad is sold as Conserve and Entrust for commercial growers and Monterey Garden Insect Spray, BULL'S-EYETM and others for home gardeners.
- Drench soil with an insecticide such as Orthene (e.g.,acephate) to kill the mature larvae that live just under the soil surface in winter. Also, avoid transporting infested soil to other sites.
- Inspect and beware of imported bulbs.
- Catch adult beetles between the fingers and smash them.
Lily thrips
The adult lily thrip (Liothrips vaneeckii) is very tiny and black in color. The larva is salmon pink and minute. The adults and larvae live out their entire life cycle in the bulb. Feeding seems to be localized at the bases of the scales, where it seriously weakens the bulb, rendering it flabby. This allows the entry of bacteria and fungi, frequently resulting in the bulb rotting away.
The following controls can be used:
- Treat bulbs with hot water treatment at 44°C (111°F) for one hour to eradicate the pest.
- Dust bulbs with benzene hexachloride (BHC).
- Wash or dip bulbs in a solution of an insecticide such as Orthene, mineral oil, Neem, Marathon or Merit.
Lily weevil
The lily weevil (Agasphaerops nigra) is a native of western North America from northern California to Vancouver Island. It has been reported both on native lilies of that region and on cultivated forms of Lilium longiflorum (Trumpet and Easter lily).
The larvae are minute, whitish, legless grubs with chestnut-brown heads. They burrow into the lily stem and bulb. Adult weevils emerge in March and April, feeding on the leaves of plants.
Systemic insecticides, such as Orthene, Merrit, or Marathon are highly effective in controlling weevils.
Many species of nematodes or eelworms inhabit soils everywhere, regardless of region or zone, and can only be detected or seen with a microscope. Some are harmless or even beneficial to plants, but others are destructive. The most harmful to lilies are the root lesion or meadow nematode and the leaf-lesion nematode. These microscopic pests cause serious damage to lily crops in some regions if their populations are not under control.
Nematodes penetrate root tissues, killing cells as they go. They move inside the root, feeding, laying eggs, and destroying additional cells. The roots become soft and flabby, eventually succumbing to infection that moves into the basal plate, turning it into mush.
River water often carries nematodes, which can then enter croplands through irrigation. These pests also host bacteria; some species even carry virus diseases. Nematode infestation causes stunting of growth and can severely reduce commercial production. Crops parasitized by nematodes are seldom uniformly affected.
Foliar nematodes live in the soil. When a suitable host is present, they move through the stem in a surface film of moisture to invade the leaves and flowers.
The following controls are used for nematodes:
- Keep the foliage as dry as possible to control foliar nematodes by preventing movement of the organisms. Systemic insecticides are very effective.
- Treat bulbs with hot water at 44°C (111°F) for one hour.
- Fumigate soil with methyl bromide, chloropicrin, and Vapam (e.g., Metamsodium). This is a highly successful technique in commercial plantings, but may not be suitable for the home gardener. Very dangerous stuff, here! Steam sterilization of greenhouse soils is very important.
- Avoid planting lilies continuously in the same site; this prevents harmful nematode populations from building up in the home garden.
- Apply a granular nematicide such as Nemacur fenamiphos (e.g., fenamiphos) when planting bulbs.
- Try adding carnivorous nematodes to the soil.
Pheasant and quail
These birds can develop the habit of pecking emerging shoots in very early spring. They may also peck down to destroy bulbs during cold periods when other food is scarce. Control should be restricted to trapping or shooting the birds only when damage is severe. Poison grains are strictly outlawed in most areas and should never be used to control pheasants and quail. There are other methods…try placing a bucket or some other sort of covering over the bulbs.
Mice and voles often devour lily bulbs, especially when their populations are poorly controlled by animal and bird predators. Moles do not eat vegetation, their diet consists of grubs and worms. If moles are active in an area, mice and voles often use the mole tunnels to get access to bulbs. Traps and poison baits are effective controls; in the home garden, a predatory cat or dog can be of great service.
Squirrels and chipmunks sometimes learn to prey on garden bulbs. The best control is to plant bulbs some distance from trees, since these pests do not like to venture far from the safety of their homes.
Several species of gophers are serious pests in lily plantings in western North America. They love all bulbs and can devour great numbers in a season. Trapping is the most effective way of controlling gophers.
Slugs and snails
These hermaphroditic mollusks lay clusters of round, white, jelly-like eggs in little niches in the soil. Slugs are actually beneficial when populations are not at epidemic levels, as they feed on decaying wood, leaves, etc. When becoming a problem, they can be destroyed by frequent cultivation of the top few inches of soil, bringing the eggs to light and exposing them to frost and birds.
Slugs in particular can be a problem both above and below ground, depending on the species present. They find harbors in moist, shaded areas under dead leaves and other plant debris or among low-growing plants. They are particularly prevalent during rainy seasons.
Slugs and snails feed voraciously on lilies when the shoots emerge. Later in the season they can climb the stems, stripping the leaves completely.
To control slugs and snails:
- Limit habitat around lily plantings by controlling weeds and using mulch instead of ground cover planting.
- Place bait containing metaldehyde among plantings in the early evening hours. This is crucial at the time when lily shoots are emerging and during damp weather. Bait should be renewed after heavy rain, but if you have pets, I would not recommend any baits. However, liquid bait such as Deadline may be less attractive to pets than pelletized bait, but be very careful when baits with pets. Perhaps a safer treatment is beer traps and are used successfully: simply pour the beer into a shallow dish and place it near the lily plantings in the early evening. Pets like it, too and if you see your dog or cat kind of walking sideways, well…
These tiny, almost microscopic insects are prevalent in some soils and can be extremely difficult to eradicate. They can damage lily crops severely if their populations get out of control. The tiny creatures are barely visible to the naked eye; they are best diagnosed by submitting a soil sample to an agricultural laboratory. The usual control is soil fumigation and I do not recommended this for the home gardener. Instead, if these critters have been correctly diagnosed as a problem, I would recommend removing the bulbs and keeping the soil tilled or disturbed for a few weeks. Exposing them to light will usually eradicate the problem.

[Update: Trailer has been removed at Ubisoft's request. You see, it was only approved for European consumption due to lack of an ESRB rating ... on the world wide web.]
Ubisoft has released a video for GamesCom highlighting Your Shape, the Jenny McCarthy-endorsed, camera-focused exergame for Wii. The video highlights the game's camera, giving us a good look at the device and an explanation behind the technology powering it (hint: it's not rocket science). While it bares resemblance to Project Natal, unlike Microsoft's peripheral, Ubisoft's device and Your Shape will actually be out this year -- more precisely, this December. We know, it's a crazy concept for a game to release during the 2009 holidays.

Android Central's got a scoop on Dell's roadmap for tablets in 2011, and they're using Android and Windows 7. Three devices are shown, starting with a 10″ Android tablet based on nVidia's Tegra T25 and sporting Honeycomb with Dell's Stage 1.5 user interface. Windows 7 is the OS of choice on the other two devices: A 10″ built on Intel's Oak Trail at 1.5GHz with 128GB of SSD storage and a 13″ convertible tablet using Intel's Huron River family to provide the horsepower – up to an i7 SVU. The Android tablet is called the Streak Pro and is scheduled to ship first, in June, with the convertible 13″ ( Latitude XT-3 ) following in July and the 10″ Windows 7 tablet ( Latitude ST ) dropping in October. I'm curious about Dell's Stage interface over Honeycomb,Honeycomb's pretty awesome as is. Click the link to read more at Android Central.

| Removal and install of Secondary Clutch kit Installing a new Proformance clutch spring kit this can be a simple project with 2 people, but can be done by yourself tools needed Clutch puller ( a must have or you will bend the fixed pulley) 17mm Socket (impact with air tool prefered) Snap ring pliers a good spring compressor remove rear drivers wheel remove 17mm nut from secondary clutch attach puller tight and tighten center nut until fixed plate comes off remove belt and woodruff key and plastic spacer then remove sliding plate, spring and inner drive hub then remove the snap ring from the shaft (you will not use the snap ring or the plastic washer again) inspect all parts well, you will want to replace the ramps on the hub if not replace the entire hub if there is wear on the metal. installing install the new spacer (there is a spline only on half the spacer, YOU MUST FACE the spline side out from the shaft, slide on the hub. slide on the spring and then the sliding plate, MAKE SURE TO GREASE BUSHING AND SHAFT attach a spring compressor to the hub and the outer of the sliding plate and compress till you can see the entire slot for the woodruff key. install the wooduff key, then attach the fix plate then put on washer and nut and make sure you tighted well (use a torch wrench if you have one) now release the compressor and re-assemble.. put on belt, (pay the money and use a new one) now if you don't have a compressor that will work for you here is a way you can do it, if you can push the sliding plate on yourself far enough to see the woodruff key, then you can have somone else put the key, fix plate and nut for you, but this is not easy with the new heavy spring kit.. if your alone, you can use a 2x4 to get leverage and push it on, but you will need to remove the rear body, this works well but still need a person to install the fixed plate and nut. this is by far the hardest thing i have done to date on a Yamaha cart. so if you not sure you can handle it, it might be worth paying a shop to do it, with the right tools, this can be a 1/2 hour job, hope this helps somone.. |

| Re: Removal and install of Secondary Clutch kit this picture shows you why the heavy spring and the new machined pulleys make more torque (gives you a lower gearing for pulling) notice that the belt is only down a couple inches when at full RPM's this gives you more power for pulling up hills.. and makes up some of the power lost with larger wheels and tire... |

Show Up!Come for the Light, Stay for the ShowThe new year beckons
It's not true. I'm not any of those things. I'm just some old dude who happens to write about music. I also play the piano. Musicians say they like me to sit in with them because I have a good ear and a wacky, louche, yet curiously informed improvisational style. I suppose the same might be said about my writing, the music-related stuff, anyway. But I am in agreement with Ms. Deal. The new year provides an opportunity to find one's path home. Ironically, for music lovers in particular, that means the journey begins again. It's a grand cycle of gigs that begins in the dark of winter and peaks during the brash brightness of summer's outdoor festival tour season before declining and then raising itself up again to the light, and so on and so forth, ad infinitum. The first weekend of 2017 is a great place to start the endeavor; here are some shows that may show you the way. Friday

Sera from 35 patients diagnosed with human granulocytic ehrlichiosis in Connecticut were tested by indirect IFA staining methods with 5 strains of Ehrlichia equi or the human granulocytic ehrlichiosis agent to assess the suitability of different strains in laboratory analyses. Antigens included horse-derived infected neutrophils (MRK and BDS strains) and human isolates cultured in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (NCH-1, RCH, and Webster). Of 35 sera, 23 (65.7%) reacted to all 5 strains. Seropositivity was highest (97.1%) in assays that contained the MRK strain from California and lowest (71.4%) in tests with the NCH-1 strain from Nantucket, Massachusetts. In parallel testing of 32 sera with the NCH-1 strain by indirect IFA and Western blot analyses, results were concordant for 30 samples (93.8%). All strains of ehrlichiae can be used in IFA analyses for antibody detection, but assay sensitivity varied with the strain used.

In the Garden
By Patty Campbell, Special to the Citizen 07/10/12
Days when temperatures climb into triple digits followed by evenings with fast-moving thunder storms can leave beginning gardeners unsure about whether or not to add supplemental water to their vegetable gardens.
The general rule of thumb is that plants need about one inch of water a week either from rain or irrigation or a combination of the two.
The amount of water can vary depending on the type of soil in the garden, but the objective is to wet the soil to a depth of 5 or 6 inches and not water again until the top few inches begin to dry out.
"Your garden needs to be watered deeply,"says Henrico Extension Agent Lisa Sanderson. "And that requires some time.
"Some people think sprinkling water with a hose for a few minutes and wetting the surface of the soil will be enough,"she adds,"but deep watering is not something you can do for 10 minutes and be done."
Taking the time to water plants deeply can make them more resistant to droughts because the plants develop deep roots.
"Watering a little bit every day encourages shallow roots," says Sanderson, "So plants dry out quicker. And watering every day helps surface seeds, which are usually weeds, to germinate and grow."
Sanderson cautions that every garden is different, so gardeners need to check their soil to see when to water. Sandy soils may need to be watered more often, while a clay soil can hold moisture longer. Organic matter that you can add by incorporating it at tilling or by top dressing plants with compost can help soil hold moisture.
"You can use a rain gauge to see how much rain water your garden is getting," says Sanderson. "Or use a soil meter to see how dry the soil is."
"Fingers are also wonderful things to check soil moisture,"she adds. "Or use a trowel to pull back some soil and check for moisture."
The best time to water is in the morning when cooler temperatures mean less water will be lost to evaporation. Watering early also allows foliage that gets wet to dry before nightfall.
"It's better to water at the roots,"says Sanderson. "More water gets to the plant, and you have fewer issues with disease caused by moisture on the leaves."
If time is an issue, busy gardeners can use soaker hoses that allow water to slowly seep out all along their length. Placed at the base of plants and left on for sufficient time, soaker hoses can provide the deep watering that plants need.
"It's also a great idea to mulch your plants,"says Sanderson. Mulch conserves moisture in the soil by slowing evaporation and can prevent backsplash on leaves during watering. Plus mulching helps to control weeds that compete for the soil's moisture.
Sanderson adds that these watering principles also apply to landscape plants.
"Usually, established plants are fine," she says,"but when you have these hot, hot days, it's a good idea to keep your eye on your plants to see if you need to water."
Environmentalists say budget hurts efforts to protect bay
By Julie Rothey, Capital News Service 03/28/2017 Government
Environmental groups are outraged at the Trump administration's proposed funding cuts for Chesapeake Bay cleanup programs.
President Donald Trump's budget plan, released last week, reduces the budget for the federal Environmental Protection Agency by 31 percent. That includes a $427 million in funding to address regional pollution, such as the Chesapeake Bay protection efforts. The proposed budget would eliminate funding for the EPA's Chesapeake Bay Program, which received $73 million from the federal government in 2016. > Read more.

Virginia raises a toast to George Washington's whiskey
By Megan Corsano, Capital News Service 03/27/2017 General AssemblyGeneral Assembly 2017
George Washington is recognized as the father of our country, but with a bill signed into law by Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Washington also will be recognized under another title – distiller of Virginia's official liquor.
SB 1261, sponsored by Sen. Adam Ebbin of Alexandria, adds a "state spirit" to the list of the commonwealth's official emblems and designations and crowns George Washington's rye whiskey with the title.
The bill, which McAuliffe signed last week, highlights George Washington's contributions to the culture of Virginia as "a native son of Virginia born on February 22, 1732, in Pope's Creek"; "the first American president, commander of the Continental Army, and president of the Constitutional Convention"; and "a model statesman ... universally acknowledged as the father of our nation." > Read more.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe on Monday vetoed six bills, including three Republicans said would help prevent voter fraud but the Democratic governor said would create barriers to voting.
McAuliffe has now vetoed 37 bills from the General Assembly's 2017 session – and 108 during his four-year term as governor, surpassing any of his predecessors.
Republican legislative leaders say McAuliffe has broken his promise to be bipartisan, calling his office "the most disengaged administration we have ever worked with." > Read more.

Charleston beats Long Beach St to advanceAP , Associated Press
Jun. 2, 2014 7:25 PM ET
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Morgan Phillips' sacrifice fly drove in Ryan Welke with the tiebreaking run in the fourth inning and College of Charleston beat Long Beach State 4-2 Monday to win the Gainesville Regional. The Cougars (44-17) advanced to the Super Regionals and will next face Texas Tech. Welke walked to open the fourth, and moved to second when Ben Boykin was hit by a pitch from Nick Sabo. The runners advanced on Sabo's wild pitch and Nick Rosetta relieved and gave up Phillips' fly ball. Boykin then scored on Rosetta's wild pitch to make it 4-2. Long Beach State (34-26), which beat North Carolina 12-5 in a condensed game earlier in the day, took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning on Richard Prigatano's RBI double and Johnny Bekakis' run-scoring infield single. Charleston tied it in the third when Blake Butler scored on a throwing error by Michael Hill. © The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
