Syngenta Introduces Solatenol Fungicide
Syngenta has unveiled plans for the introduction of a new active ingredient. The SDHI fungicide – known by the general name Solatenol fungicide – will be available under four products for use on wheat, corn, cucurbit and fruiting vegetables, grapes, peanuts, pome fruit, potatoes and soybeans.
"As growers continue to encounter profit-robbing foliar diseases and soil pathogens in their crops, the need grows for an effective fungicide with broad-spectrum, long-lasting disease control," said Allison Tally, technical product lead, Syngenta. "Solatenol fungicide binds tightly to the plant's wax layer and slowly penetrates the tissue, providing the disease control that growers need."
The Solatenol fungicide active ingredient will also provide:
- Demonstrated crop safety on a wide range of crops.
- Excellent preventive fungicidal activity.
- Translaminar movement.
- Excellent rainfastness.
- A complement to growers' resistance management programs.
Solatenol fungicide is designed to provide disease control on a wide range of crops, including:
Corn, Soybeans And Wheat
In corn, soybeans and wheat, Syngenta will introduce a new fungicide with the power of three active ingredients – Solatenol fungicide, azoxystrobin and propiconazole. This product will be marketed as Trivapro fungicide upon registration. Trivapro will provide improved broad-spectrum control of common rust, Southern rust and gray leaf spot in corn, as well as leaf rust, stripe rust and stem rust in wheat. Trivapro exhibits preventative and curative disease control and crop enhancement benefits for improved yield potential. It will be the first fungicide to deliver three modes of action for resistance management in these crops.
Apples, Grapes And Pears
Upon registration, Solatenol fungicide will be marketed as Aprovia fungicide in apples, grapes and pears. Aprovia will provide control of apple scab, powdery mildew, fly speck and sooty blotch. Aprovia exhibits the highest intrinsic activity on apple scab versus current standards. It mixes well in the tank with other products and will be used at low rates.
In fruiting vegetables and cucurbits, Solatenol fungicide and difenoconazole will be marketed as Aprovia Top fungicide upon registration. Aprovia Top controls early blight, powdery mildew and gummy stem blight, and tank mixes well with other products.
In combination with azoxystrobin, Solatenol fungicide will be marketed in peanuts as Elatus fungicide. It provides peanuts with protection against yield-robbing diseases such as white mold, limb rot and leaf spot. Elatus will offer application flexibility and no skips in leaf spot control.
Elatus fungicide will also be available for use in potatoes. It will contain two active ingredients – Solatenol fungicide and azoxystrobin – providing growers with a fungicide that demonstrates no cross-resistance to strobilurin or triazole fungicides. Elatus exhibits excellent Rhizoctonia control and produces increased yield potential.
Growers and retailers will have a chance to see Solatenol fungicide in university and Syngenta field trials this summer.

Telluride, Colo. (Aug. 20, 2012) –The 2012 USA Pro Challengegot off to an exciting start, as the riders traveled the 125.7-mile route from Durango to Telluride where Tyler Farrar (USA) of Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda ultimately took home the stage win after a battle to the finish. In a difficult first stage complete with two Waste Management sprints and three Nissan King of the Mountains competitions, the day ended with an all-out sprint to the finish, which saw Alessandro Bazzana (ITA) of Team Type 1-SANOFI take second and Damiano Caruso (ITA) of Liquigas-Cannondale claim third.
"We knew we had the top riders in the world racing in the 2012 USA Pro Challenge, but today, with the competitive level of racing we saw right out the gate, they showed they're here to win," said Shawn Hunter, CEO of the Pro Challenge. "We saw impressive crowds cheering on the riders at the start line in Durango all the way to the packed streets of Telluride this afternoon. We have an exciting race ahead of us."
Comprised of 16 teams and 124 riders, which include reigning champion Levi Leipheimer and 2011 Tour de France Champion Cadel Evans, the field for the 2012 race started the day with a bang. After heading out of downtown, the riders approached the first Waste Management sprint in Durango, which was taken by Nathan Haas (AUS) of Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda, Javier Eduardo Gomez Pineda (COL) of EPM-UNE and Martin Velits (SVK) of Omega Pharma-QuickStep.
And with the sprint came the first breakaway of the day consisting of a decent size group of 22 that included Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda riders Tom Danielson (USA), Peter Stetina (USA) and Dave Zabriskie, as well as Jens Voigt (GER) of RadioShack-Nissan-Trek and Vincenzo Nibali (ITA) of Liquigas-Cannondale, among others. Followed by a chase group and the peloton, they approached the first Nissan KOM of the day, Hesperus, a Cat. 3 climb that took the riders up to 8,224 ft. First to the top was Andrew Bajadali (USA) of Optum Pro Cycling p/b Kelly Benefit, followed by Freddy Orlando Piamonte Rodriguez (COL) of EPM-UNE and Matt Cooke (USA) of Team Exergy.
With a break that reached up to more than five minutes, the riders headed toward the second and final Waste Management sprint line in the town of Dolores. Motivated by the cheers of fans lining the sprint, Serghei Tvetcov (MOL) of Team Exergy took the max points, followed by Josh Atkins (NZL) of Bontrager Livestrong Team and Voigt.
After an attempted attack by Nibali and Danielson, a group of 10 riders formed off the front heading into the next KOM of the day – Lizard Head Pass (10,222 ft.) – as the chase group was swallowed back up into the peloton. Danielson pulled away to take the KOM, with Eduard Alexander Beltran Suarez (COL) of EPM-UNE and Nibali following close behind. With only six miles until the next and final KOM at Alta, Danielson and Stetina pulled away to take a 35-second gap over the rest of the break heading over the pass. Results for the KOM were Danielson, Stetina and Beltran.
With less than 10 miles to the finish, the riders stepped up the pace heading into Telluride. The gap was closed, followed by a short-lived attack by the Kings of the race –Edward King (USA) of Liquigas-Cannondale and Benjamin King (USA) of RadioShack-Nissan-Trek, and the field was brought together again for an all-out sprint to the finish in front of huge crowds of cheering fans. And in his first victory in more than a year, sprinter Farrar pulled out the win.
"This is the first time I've done a U.S. stage race since 2009," added Farrar. "It's special as an American to race in your own country and have fans that are rooting just for you, for our team. Racing in Colorado is important, and a big bonus for us."
In a near sweep of the jerseys for Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda, Farrar took the Exergy Leader Jersey and the Waste Management Sprint Jersey; Danielson took the Nissan King of the Mountains Jersey; and Stetina claimed Evolve Most Aggressive Rider Jersey. Gavin Mannion (USA) of Bontrager Livestrong Team was awarded the Aquadraat Best Young Rider Jersey.

Thread: GoLive or Dreamweaver?
07-07-2005, 04:52 PM #1justinpfarrellGuestGoLive or Dreamweaver?
I have used DW for a number of years, but recently purchased the CS2 Adobe suite that came with GoLive.
This post is to compare and contrast the two, hopefully giving the ups and downs of each. Maybe we can come to a consensus on which is a better program right now?

if your just writing HTML or CSS or anything like that.. it doesnt matter which you use, **** you could use text editor. But, if your going to visually build a website, GoLive is the way to go.
I have used both. Dreamweaver is alright and Golive is alright, I just like GoLive better.

For what reasons do you like GoLive better?

I have Dreamweaver MX 2004, and GoLive CS and CS2. In my opinion:
Dreamweaver is better than GoLive CS
GoLive CS2 blows away Dreamweaver
Why CS2 is better than DW:
Better user interface
Easier to use
More efficient workflow
More features
Very high compatibility and usability with multiple file types
Very high integration with the rest of the creative suite
07-08-2005, 03:06 PM #5AarowGuest
Dreamweaver(along with the rest of the macromedia suite) would probally have better integration with flash based sites( Because of Flash MX). While GoLiveCS(2) Would probally have better integration with PhotoshopCS(2).
I've never tried either of them, so I guess I wouldn't know.
07-08-2005, 03:15 PM #6justinpfarrellGuest
I have been a die-hard DW user. I rely on photoshop heavily, and would like to make the switch but I feel like I would have to relearn a program. Its a scary and time consuming decision.

I personally have found that GoLive's integration with Flash is equal to Dreamweavers.
GoLive is actually pretty easy to learn, don't be scared. Just mess around with it for a couple weeks during any free time you may have (easier said than done I know). You'll get it pretty quickly.
07-13-2005, 03:35 AM #8hungGuest
I have tested GoLive before, NOT CS2, but I prefer DW 2004
07-17-2005, 12:23 AM #9clintzGuest
I have both and DW seems to be the better choice for me. You should try the little suckers and see for yourself, I know more people who like DW, but some other guys swear by GL CS2, it all depends on your choices and what you do.
07-17-2005, 02:00 AM #10jessicaGuest
I used DW forever, then I got my Mac and only had GoLive. I am still getting used to it, but overall I do like it a lot. Plus, using the adobe suite -- it would be silly to go out and spend more cash on DW.
07-17-2005, 02:48 AM #11damontgoGuest
DW works fine with any photoshop app, and DW has the added bonus of working seamlessly with Flash, Fireworks, and whatever graphics app it is that MX puts out. Freehand I think? I would go DW, as I also believe it's easier to learn, and more people use it.

I actually think GoLive is easier to learn, but whatever. Anyways, I was just thinking, Adobe acquired Macromedia a cpl months ago if I recall. I wonder if there will be continued releases of both GoLive and Dreamweaver, or if they will be combined. If one is stopped, then you'd want to have the other from an upgrading standpoint in the future.
07-23-2005, 01:02 PM #13esteGuest
Dreamweaver is much better. (of course this is my opinion) but not without its major downs... sometimes it just appears that dreamweaver has a mind of its own and loves to add, edit and "correct" your code, but you cna prevent this by changing the apps preferences.
As far as learnig a new software, its like riding a bike, it may take you a bit to feel comfortable with the new program, but after a few minutes you shouold be up to par wit what is going on...
kind of like using photoshop and fireworks, though i know photoshop is much better, both aps are basically the same and work alike.

A criminal bill of information was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court charging Cherryville's former finance director, Bonny Verley Alexander, with embezzling over $435,000 from the city, Anne M. Tompkins, U.S. attorney for the Western District of North Carolina, announced in a news release.
A criminal bill of information was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court charging Cherryville's former finance director, Bonny Verley Alexander, with embezzling over $435,000 from the city, Anne M. Tompkins, U.S. attorney for the Western District of North Carolina, announced in a news release.
Another former Cherryville employee, Jennifer Neal Hoyle, has also been charged with embezzling over $92,900 from the city.
Alexander, 58, and Hoyle, 34, both of Cherryville, have agreed to plead guilty to the charges stemming from a joint federal and state investigation into misappropriated city funds, according to the release.
According to the bill of information and the filed plea agreement, up until her retirement in December 2011, Alexander supervised the city's finance department. In that capacity, Alexander oversaw the city's accounting, financial reporting and treasury divisions, as well as the city's revenue collections and customer service departments, the release states.
Alexander also had access to and was able to process payroll payments to Cherryville employees, direct payments for city expenses, issue checks on behalf of the city, remove canceled checks from the city's records and make adjustments to Cherryville's electronic accounting systems, court records indicate.
From about August 2005 through December 2011, Alexander embezzled at least $435,294 of Cherryville's funds and used the money to pay personal expenses, the release says. Court documents show that Alexander made weekly payroll payments to herself which were more than 300% of her authorized net pay from the city. In total, Alexander embezzled about $309,594 from the city in this manner.
Court records also show that Alexander used city funds to pay for personal expenses, including shopping and travel expenses, she charged on her personal American Express credit card by issuing checks from the city made out to American Express.
According to filed documents, Alexander issued the city checks and forged on those checks the signature of another Cherryville employee who was the authorized signatory on the account. Then, to avoid detection, after the forged checks had cleared and were returned by the bank, Alexander would remove them from the city's records, court documents show.
Alexander issued and forged a total of 26 checks from the city, totaling about $97,000, to pay off personal charges on her American Express card.
Hoyle, a former senior customer service representative/utility supervisor for Cherryville, has been charged with and has agreed to plead guilty to three counts of federal program fraud for embezzling about $92,922 from the city. According to the federal charging document and the filed plea agreement, Hoyle was responsible for the collection and posting of utility payments made by Cherryville utilities customers. Hoyle, who reported to Alexander, was terminated in May 2012.
According to filed court documents, beginning in January 2008 through May 2011 Hoyle embezzled about $92,922 from the city by taking cash payments made by customers paying their utilities bills for her own use. Court records show that Hoyle would accept the cash payments from the customers and issue paper receipts. Hoyle would credit the customers' accounts with the payment, keep the cash, and then, using her supervisory override privileges, would go in the computer system and delete the transaction, court records show.
Court records also show that, in order to avoid any potential customer complaints, Hoyle would create entries in the "extra charge" journal in which she would "write off" the cash amount the customers paid so that bills containing the embezzled amount would not be issued, records show.
According to the bill of information, Hoyle's fraud was uncovered when a customer questioned the duplicate charges on her bill and brought in her paper receipt as proof of payment, after Hoyle had failed to convert the customer's cash payment as a "write off" in the "extra charge" journal.
Alexander is charged five counts of program embezzlement. She has agreed to plead guilty to the charges and faces a maximum term of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine per count, the release says.
Hoyle has agreed to plead guilty to three counts of program fraud, according to the release. She faces a maximum prison term of 10 years and a $250,000 fine per count. The defendants' initial appearances and plea hearings will be scheduled by the U.S. District Court.
Roger A. Coe, acting special agent in charge of the FBI, Charlotte division; Greg McLeod, director of the State Bureau of Investigation; and Chief James W. Buie of the Gaston County Police Department joined Tompkins in making the announcement.
The investigation into Alexander was handled by the FBI and SBI. The investigation into Hoyle was handled by the FBI, SBI and the Gaston County Police Department. The prosecution is handled by Michael Savage, of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Charlotte.

A few observations: it helps incredibly to give a good interview. Sure, you can get the good trivia questions answered, but what will interest viewers at home? Think hobbies, quirky facts, personality traits...
Also, I have some friends who have tried out for Jeopardy!, and they tell me you can expect to play a mock game if you make it far enough, and that it's hard for middle-aged white males to make it on (they get a ton of those, if you can imagine).
And, sadly, I must tell you that there are a lot of people that make it to the tryouts and very few that make it onto the show! You really have to differentiate yourself from the crowd.
If Jeopardy! is anything like Millionaire, you won't be able to tell anyone the results of the show until it airs. For Millionaire, you don't even get paid until 30 days after your air date (mine is January 24th, by the way). So if you get on, get ready to keep a big secret.
FWIW, my brother was on the UK Millionaire last year, winning GBP250,000. Don't know how it works in the States, but the cheque he was given by the host (Chris Tarrant) in the studio was the real thing; he just had to wait for the broadcast date to cash it, as that was the date on the cheque.
The only reason he had to wait a couple of weeks was that they were recording a few weeks ahead, as Tarrant was going on holiday for a month. But as I say, YMMV over in the US.
You: What do you call a man with a seagull on his head?
Being Bostonian you should already know American history fairly well, but my point is that it is worth memorizing a few lists, like
There are other possible lists, like national capitals, but personally I'd rely on general knowledge for those, while the above lists come under "things I couldn't bring myself to bother studying even when I knew I had a Jeopardy! tryout coming up". That was a mistake. I know most people advise that you can't really study for Jeopardy!, because it covers such a broad range of topics; you just have to know it from lifetime experience. That's mostly true, and most questions are not studiable. A few are though, since the above lists are a relatively small body of knowledge, and it can make a big difference if you hit one on a daily double. I know from watching that most of the 5-time champs know this stuff cold.
Good luck!
I think we all think we "just barely missed" but since they *don't actually tell you how many you got wrong* there's no way to actually know.
Yes, I should admit that I was going by my (usually pretty good) hunch of what I got wrong and right. But they *might* (it was several years ago) have given us the answers while we were waiting for the marking to be done. On the other hand we were lucky enough to have Alex there to entertain us.
Anyone else wanna see Ben Stein compete in Celebrity Jeopardy! (agai
Some of the questions are about very recent music, movies, or TV shows, and the champs astound me with their ability to get them. How do they have time for that much nongeeky stuff along with the geeky stuff? Especially when the question's about a plot detail in the middle of a movie or TV season - you'd think you'd have to watch it in real time instead of speed reading that stuff.
Definitely agree there...perhaps I didn't mention that because I'm sorely lacking and that area as I don't really watch TV anym
Although Adams insisted it was coincidence, the answer to "What is six times nine?" is 42... in Base 13.
I'm sure your sister is quite satisfied, but how is that going to help you for the show?

Pizzeria da Marco
8008 Woodmont Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814 (map); 301-654-6083;
Pizza Style: Neapolitan
Oven Type: Stefano Ferrara wood-fired
The Skinny: Finally—serious Neapolitan in Bethesda.
Price: 12-inch pizzas, $8.50 to $13
Just over the line from the Nation's Capital, Bethesda, MD boasts an impressive array of upscale bars and restaurants, but has always lacked a true Neapolitan pizzeria. Not any more. Pizzeria da Marco occupies an impressive building of its own, conveniently located on Woodmont Avenue, and after only a month is turning out some terrific pies. Well-known pizzaiolo Dino Santonicola is at the helm of an Italian-made Stefano Ferrara wood-burner (one of only a few in the US), and plating some really nice pizzas.
Da Marco's Margherita D.O.P., with mozzarella di bufala and cherry tomatoes, is a worthy rendition of the classic, with a yeasty, crisp-chewy crust. Yes, it's a little wet in the middle, but deal with it, Yelp whiners—that's just how it's done. A million people in Naples like it that way.
A sauceless Porchetta special was on the menu the day we visited. While not the prettiest pizza in the place, the smokiness of the pork and chew of the mushrooms worked beautifully with the rich mozzarella for a very pleasing result. The ample cheese and salty meat made for a very luxurious pie.
Santonicola uses a blend of two Caputo flours, Pizzeria and general-use Farina (both superfine 00) for a crust that's excellent—tender, flavorful, and with real character—but not quite at the astonishing level of a Pupatella. Very respectable nonetheless.
A virtually perfect and extremely satisfying pizza was the Ruchetta, with smoked mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, cherry tomatoes, and shaved Parmesan. This combination is simply dynamite, and it was a relief to see this pie made with fresh tomatoes instead of sauce. Don't miss this one—it's salty, juicy, and smoky, with fresh greens that are just bitter enough for a perfect balance.
Alessandro Ferro, da Marco's general manager and an owner, welcomes customers warmly and keeps a close eye on the spacious and handsome dining room. He shared his experience in getting a building permit in Montgomery County: Even though the structure is ideal for a straight-through-the-roof chimney, inspectors insisted that a huge exhaust hood be installed directly above the oven (see photo at top). This is surely getting some laughs in the old country, but you do what it takes to get that permit.
Appetizers and salads are excellent as well, with first-rate ingredients evident across the menu. Ultimately, Pizzeria da Marco is a valuable addition to the DC pizza scene and brings top-notch Neapolitan to Bethesda at long last.

Submission + - FCC chair calls on ISPs to adopt new security measures (networkworld.com)

Julius Genachowski called on ISPs to notify subscribers whose computers are infected with malware and tied to a botnet and to develop a code of conduct to combat botnets. Genachowski also called on ISPs to adopt secure routing standards to protect against Internet Protocol hijacking and to implement DNSSEC, a suite of security tools for the Internet's Domain Name System.

Peterborough striker Nicky Ajose has joined Scunthorpe on loan.
The former Manchester United trainee is reunited with manager Alan Knill at Glanford Park, where he will remain until January 2, 2012.
Ajose played under Knill during a loan spell at Bury last season and scored 13 goals to help the Shakers clinch promotion as runners-up in League Two.
Several weeks out with a hamstring problem means Ajose is short of match fitness at present.
The 19-year-old, who joined Posh from Manchester United in a £300,000 deal in the summer, started the first match of the season against Crystal Palace but was substituted early on after suffering the injury.
He has not made an appearance since but has played in two reserve-team friendlies in the last fortnight.
He could make his debut for the Iron when they host Yeovil on Saturday.

Are We Seriously Only Halfway Through Spring Training?
Is it just me, or is it taking forever to get to the regular season? I was excited when Spring Training began, because a little baseball is better than no baseball. But that excitement has waned slowly and transformed into impatience. Can we get to the real games already!
There is not much else in Philly to get excited about right now. The Flyers are good one day, and suck the next. They are in last place in their division. And the 76ers are all but out of playoff contention, unless a small miracle occurs. And no, that miracle will not be Andrew Bynum, who does not appear to have any desire to play this year. He will sit back and collect his massive paycheck.
Some people are excited about the Papal Conclave in Rome. I get it. I was just in Rome this past October; I took the whole 9-mile tour of the Vatican museums, St. Peter's and the Sistine Chapel. It was an ethereal experience for sure. But unless the smoke coming out of that chapel chimney signals the start of the regular season, I don't have much to get excited about.
They will pick a new pope. Some people will celebrate, some will complain and life will go on. But what I really need is some baseball!
I like Spring Training; it is a necessary part of baseball. But some things about it annoy me. Mainly, that it is 6-weeks long, the games don't count and the fact that I am not in Florida right now. Ugh.
However, there have been a number of rather interesting incidents this spring. A Hooter's ball girl screwed up and fielded a fair ball (not that interesting I guess; this happens every year); Charlie Manuel was accosted by a strange man on a tricycle at a game against the Astros; and several Phillies playing for Team Canada in the WBC brawled with Team Mexico this past Saturday. Apparently, Pete Orr was thrown out of the game. Tyson Gillies, who has a habit of finding trouble, body slammed a Red Sox pitcher who was playing for Mexico. And Phillies Sebastian Valle, who played for Mexico, swung his catcher's helmet at opposing players, despite their being at least 3 of his Phillies teammates on Canada's team. Oops.
So while Spring Training has not been dull, it is just not over yet! But we are half-way there and everyone, so far, is healthy (cross all fingers and toes)…3 weeks to go!

VC-BC Library Broken Into
Someone broke into the Valley City-Barnes County Public Library late Saturday or early Sunday and took a minimal amount of cash from a drawer, said Library Director Steve Hammel.
Hammel said "somebody jimmied the back door lock and came in. There was no damage and a little cash was stolen from a drawer. It was a very inexpensive wakeup call."
Hammel said he has fixed the back door to the library "and put in deadbolts."
No library equipment or books were stolen or damaged. The library has little cash on hand – primarily the small amount of money collected from fines, Hammel said.

He's been called heartless and unflappably cold, but is Stephen Harper the worst prime minister to hit Canada in more than four decades? About a quarter of Canadians think so, according to a new poll.
The Angus Reid Public Opinion survey, released Tuesday, found that while 16 per cent of those polled believe Harper is the best prime minister since 1968, 26 per cent believe he is the worst. That's a notable jump in distaste for the Canadian leader – seven per cent – since the pollster's last survey on the issue a year ago.
That chunk of the country would probably find a lot of common ground with comedy icon Dave Thomas, who said Harper is "probably the worst thing that's ever happened to Canada" in an interview earlier this year.
Take a look at the complete list of Canada's "worst" prime ministers here
Fellow Tory Brian Mulroney was the second most despised prime minister for those polled at 17 per cent, followed by Pierre Trudeau (11 per cent) and Jean Chretien (nine per cent). A whopping 36 per cent of respondents believe Trudeau was the best prime minister since 1968, more than doubling Harper's second-place total.
The online poll, which collected responses from 1,510 randomly chosen Canadians on Aug. 30 and 31, found the highest support for Harper in his adopted home province of Alberta, where 32 per cent picked him as the country's best leader. Maritimers hold the Conservative head in the greatest disdain, with 40 per cent naming him as the worst prime minister.
The Angus Reid poll claims a margin of error of 2.5 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

A Clemmons woman has been charged with more than two dozen counts of identity theft and other related charges after allegedly deceiving senior citizens into disclosing their personal financial information.
A Clemmons woman has been charged with more than two dozen counts of identity theft and other related charges after allegedly deceiving senior citizens into disclosing their personal financial information.
Sheriff's deputies say Heather Danyela Hill, 34, of 233 Twin Creeks Road, used an online phone book to identify residents who shared her last name. Deputies allege Hill called the numbers and specifically targeted those she considered to be senior citizens. Posing as a representative for a hospital, Hill then asked the seniors for their personal financial information to settle a bill.
From about Aug. 20 to Nov. 2, Hill used the personal information of about eight different citizens to steal more than $10,000 in goods and services, according to warrants and Davidson County Sheriff David Grice.
"She made a statement and told detectives that she specifically targeted elderly people," Grice said.
Hill used the citizens' personal information to obtain credit cards with various banks as well as stores like Walmart, Gap, Amazon.com, Kohl's, Sears, Best Buy and H.H. Gregg, among others, according to warrants.
Detectives R.M. Welch and R. Meachum say she mainly used the cards to purchase TVs, computers, iPads and other electronics. She also allegedly used the victims' stolen information to finance an entire beach trip with her family, they said.
Officers arrested Hill at her home Thursday after a nearly three-month investigation into the case. While serving the warrants, officers discovered that Hill was also operating an illegal day care facility out of her home without a license.
"We discovered seven children in her home, including her child," Welch said, adding that an official from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services confirmed Hill was not properly licensed.
Hill was charged with 17 counts of identity theft, five counts of obtaining property by false pretense, two counts of financial card fraud and one count of providing child care without a license. She's being held in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $250,000 secured bond and has a court date of Dec. 17.
Grice said senior citizens should be cautious when conducting business over the phone.
"I would advise any elderly person that has any questions or concerns to not do any business over the telephone." Grice said, adding that citizens can always contact the Davidson County Sheriff's Office, the Better Business Bureau and other similar organizations if they have questions.

Editor's note: This is an ongoing column from Barb Kromphardt regarding her journey with breast cancer.
When we first moved to Columbus more than a year ago, I remember driving past the local hospital and wondering idly when one of us would first need its services.
On a gray Friday spring morning, that person was me.
My husband drove me to the hospital early the day of the biopsy. Not being familiar with the hospital, I had him drop me off by the entrance facing the main street, which turned out not to be the best way in.
A hospital employee took pity on me and led me through a maze of halls throughout the hospital to where I needed to go, which was the surgical outpatient waiting room.
In the waiting room, I looked at everyone else, wondering which ones were there for treatment like me and who were there like my husband, the designated "others" — loved ones who were there to worry and pray and watch the clock, and then to provide a ride home.
Finally I was checked in and taken back to one of the rooms. After they took my clothes and gave me a stylish (!) hospital gown, I climbed into a wheelchair for another trek through the hospital.
It was totally bizarre. I didn't know where to look, whether to smile at people as we whizzed past or to try and ignore them.
Finally we made it to my next stop, another mammogram machine. Using the machine and my previous scans, they would determine where the suspicious sparkles were. Then they would numb my skin and insert a needle into the location.
It took forever. I sat on a little seat, leaned into the machine, and draped my right arm over the top. The technician would run the scan, take the film to the doctor, come back and adjust me a little and then repeat the process.
Thank God my angel – the nurse navigator from the mammogram center — was there. She probably learned my whole life story, and I learned quite a bit of hers while we waited for the procedure to be done. It never ceases to amaze me that we humans can still manage to find humor and even laughter in some of the darkest moments of our lives.
When they were ready to insert the needle, I kept my eyes straight ahead of me. I had enough to deal with, and I didn't need a visual image to make it any more vivid.
Back in the surgical waiting area, I stopped in the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, and tears began running down my face. What was I doing? How could I do this?
But by this time, nothing was required of me other than to climb back into bed and let the nurse start the IV.
The surgical nurse came for me, and I took yet another trip through a portion of the hospital, this time to the operating room. It was full of people, women who peered at me over their masks and tried to make small talk while getting me into position.
I moved onto the operating table. My right arm was stretched out into position to get it out of the way for the biopsy, and my left arm was arranged in the opposite direction so they could monitor the IV.
The random thought went through my head that I felt like I was being put onto a cross.
As I waited for the doctor to begin, I was numb with fright. I was terrified I wouldn't wake up again, and I didn't want to die like this.
The last thing I remember before the drugs put me to sleep was whispering to the nearest nurse, "Please take good care of me."

Speaking in Tongues
It's been said of those "American Idol" contestants that they sing like birds, but in truth there's an important difference between human and avian vocal gymnastics. In people, the mouth, lips and tongue play an important role in shaping the sounds coming from the larynx. In birds, though, it has been thought that the upper vocal tract has little effect on what's emitted from the sound-producing organ (called the syrinx).
Researchers at Indiana University have now shown that in one parrot species, at least, the tongue can alter sounds in a humanlike way.
Scientists have long wondered whether parrots use their tongues to alter their vocalizations, both because the tongues are fleshy and mobile and because some species make complex, humanlike sounds. Previous experiments, though, used sounds produced by the parrot, so it was difficult to tell the tongue's effect.
"What we have added is a direct indication that the tongue can do these things," said Dr. Roderick A. Suthers, an Indiana professor and an author of a paper on the work in Current Biology.
The researchers got around the limitations of earlier studies by replacing the syrinx with a tiny speaker, to control the sound coming from the parrot. (This required euthanizing the birds, but they were working with monk parakeets, a pest species that is captured and euthanized in Florida.) Then, fitting the dead birds with a tongue-manipulation device developed by the lead researcher, Dr. Gabriel J.L. Beckers, they measured how precise tongue movements altered the sounds by changing the acoustics of the mouth.Continue reading the main story
The researchers identified four formants, patterns of frequency response linked to specific tongue positions. The human tongue creates formants, too; in American English speakers, for example, they are responsible for certain vowel sounds. So the finding that the bird's tongue has a similar effect, Dr. Suthers said, "suggests that in this respect, production of parrot vocalizations and bird songs are more similar to human speech than previously thought."
A Double-Edged Sword
In geopolitics, the domino effect -- the idea that one country's rise or fall may lead to the rise or fall of a neighbor -- has come in for its share of criticism. But in work on endangered species, a domino effect makes sense. If a certain plant becomes extinct, say, then an insect that relies on that plant to host its larvae may be in trouble.
New research by an international group of scientists shows the extent of the problem. The researchers, led by Lian Pin Koh of the National University of Singapore and Robert R. Dunn of Curtin University of Technology in Australia, designed a mathematical model and applied it to data on more than 12,000 plants and animals currently listed as endangered or threatened.
Their finding, published in the journal Science, is that an estimated 6,300 "affiliate" species are co-endangered -- meaning that if the species they rely upon dies out, they will too. In most cases, these affiliate species are insects, mites, fungi and other organisms that live or reproduce with the aid of the host species.
The researchers estimate that 200 species have already become extinct in this way. They suggest that this kind of co-extinction should be taken into consideration by those trying to conserve and manage endangered species.
Grizzlies on the Rebound
Whatever affiliate species live off the grizzly bear probably do not have too much to worry about these days. The bears, which have been listed as threatened or endangered in the United States for three decades, are rebounding nicely. In Yellowstone National Park and its surrounding region, they number more than 500, up from 200 in the 1980's.
The latest signs of recovery include a preliminary count this year of 48 females with cubs in the Yellowstone area, up by 10 from 2003 and more in line with the numbers from two years ago. The annual counts are conducted by scientists with the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team, a state-federal coalition.
For Stress, Try Face Time
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but the right picture may also be worth a relaxing massage or a yoga class. A new study has found that in sheep, at least, viewing a picture of another sheep's face can reduce stress.
Scientists from the Babraham Institute, a biomedical research center in Cambridge, England, isolated sheep for short periods, simulating the temporary penning that often takes place on a farm. This caused an increase in stress, as measured by heart rate, changes in movement and vocalization, and hormone levels in the blood.
"When we showed them face pictures of sheep, it reversed all of these symptoms," said Dr. Keith M. Kendrick of the institute's laboratory of cognitive and behavioral neuroscience and an author of a paper describing the study in The Proceedings of the Royal Society. Goat faces had less of an effect, he said, and an inverted triangle -- an abstract face shape -- had no effect at all.
Dr. Kendrick, who has been studying face recognition in sheep for about 15 years, discovered in earlier work that some sheep could identify at least 50 different sheep faces and 10 different human faces.
"Not only are they extremely good at identifying faces, they can also remember them for several years without having seen them," he said. So sheep are a useful model for trying to understand the highly developed face-recognition ability of humans.
The current study goes further, looking at the effect that face recognition has on other processes in the brain. It shows that seeing pictures of sheep "shuts off activation of parts of the brain controlling stress and fear responses," Dr. Kendrick said.
In many human brain disorders, he added, this connection between recognition and response is missing. A schizophrenic, for example, may be able to identify people but cannot respond appropriately.
"We don't understand very well how the mechanism for identification and emotional response are linked," Dr. Kendrick said, so the work with sheep provides some clues.
The study also suggests a simple way for people to cope with the stress of isolation: keep a snapshot or two of a loved one around. "It should be a fairly effective method for reducing separation anxiety in humans," Dr. Kendrick said.
That so many people keep family photos in their wallets or on their desks at work suggests it's a method that is already being used.Continue reading the main story

The Miami Hurricanes will be taking on 21st-ranked Kansas State at noon this afternoon Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kan. The game can be seen on FX.
Our Susan Miller Degnan is there to cover the game. I will be here at home watching the game on TV like most Canes fans. Feel free to participate in our CoverItLive.com chat below. All you need to do is sign in with your email address.
LAST WEEK: The Canes are coming off a 41-32 win at Boston College in the opener where they played a dozen true freshmen and rotated a total of 25 players on defense. The freshmen hardly looked as bad as the defense. Duke Johnson earned ACC Rookie of the Week honors after dashing for 135 yards and 2 TDs on just seven carries. Right tackle Ereck Flowers graded out at 94 percent and receiver Malcolm Lewis hauled in four catches and scored a touchdown. Defensively, UM forced three turnovers including a 41-yard interception return for a touchdown by middle linebacker Denzel Perryman. But UM gave up more than 500 yards on defense (including 441 through the air, 3rd most in school history) and blew coverage schemes several times
K-State, which beat UM 28-24 at Sun Life Stadium a year ago, struggled for three quarters against FCS opponent Missouri State last weekend, leading just 9-6 before going on a 42-3 run over the final 22 minutes of the game. Junior running back John Hubert picked up 95 of his 152 yards on 12 carries on a long touchdown run. Tramaine Thompson returned a punt 89 yards for a score, giving K-State their 82nd non-offensive TD since the 1999 season, tied for most in the country with Virginia Tech. Quarterback Collin Klein, who lit up UM a year ago and whom Golden referred to as the best running QB in the country Tuesday, finished 19 of 28 for 169 yards, 2 TDs against Missouri State. The Wildcats gave up 323 yards through the air to Missouri State, but were pretty stingy on run defense (95 yards on 26 attempts).
INJURIES/SUSPENSIONS: The Hurricanes come into the game relatively healthy (only DT Curtis Porter and LB Raphael Kirby are out among those listed on the two deep). Backup defensive tackle Luther Robinson (personal issues) did not make the trip. The Wildcats have three players listed as questionable: OL Nick Puetz (foot), OLB Boston Stiverson (foot), TE Andre McDonald (personal issues). Puetz is the starting left guard. McDonald and Stiverson aren't listed on the two-deep.

Virgin Blue and United Airlines Announce Codeshare
Sydney, 5 June, 2002 Travel between Australia and the US will soon become easier with the announcement of a code share agreement between domestic low fare airline, Virgin Blue and major international airline, United Airlines.
The code share agreement, announced today at the Sydney Express terminal, will mean a single United Airlines code for passengers flying on both airlines.
General Manager United Airlines Australia, Stephen Pearse, said the agreement, which will soon come into effect, would provide greater choice for Australians travelling to the US.
Both Virgin Blue and United Airlines are focused on giving customers the freedom of choice for air travel, which is what this code share agreement will do, Mr Pearse said.
This agreement means we are now able to offer customers access to all points in Australia with easy domestic connections and smoother transfers.
Passengers will benefit from United's extensive US network and Virgin Blue's broad Australian coverage.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive Brett Godfrey said the agreement is another step to ensure that every segment of the Australian market is not subject to a monopoly.
With this new service, Virgin Blue can address the needs of inbound tourism as well as Australian's travelling abroad, without compromising the highly efficient and cost effective business model we operate, Mr Godfrey said.
Mr Pearse said the agreement would contribute to United's overall plans to rebuild business in Australia.
We're excited to be entering into a code share agreement with one of Australia's business success stories. Our business partnership is a good fit: we both focus on providing passengers with high levels of customer service and a friendly, reliable travelling experience, at a highly competitive price, Mr Pearse said.
Both United and Virgin Blue are leaders in our respective areas. United is the industry leader in Australia-US travel and is the only airline to provide daily services from Sydney to Los Angeles and San Francisco and from Melbourne via Sydney to both US cities, while Virgin Blue is Australia's leading low fare airline.
Brett Godfrey said the agreement was part of Virgin Blue's business expansion plans. The Brisbane code-share is the first step in developing a world class international product. It's all about fair competition and providing travellers with choice, which are the core values of Virgin Blue.
Initially, the Sydney-Brisbane route will be code shared, but both airlines will look at other opportunities. Virgin Blue currently services every State and Territory in the country with its fleet of 17 aircraft, including the brand new Next Generation Boeing 737 aircraft, Virgin Blue was recently named best low fare airline Australasia" in the Skytrax Airline of The Year 2002 survey, the industry's leading passenger survey.
United Airlines offers nearly 1,700 flights a day to 119 destinations in 26 countries and two US territories. United Airlines is a founding member of the Star Alliance, the first comprehensive global airlines network. United and its Star Alliance partners offer flights to 700 destinations in 124 countries.

A Minority and the State
Travellers in Britain in the Twentieth Century
Date published:April 2008
A Minority and the State is a much needed history of Britain's travelling communities in the twentieth century, drawing together detailed archival research at local and national levels to explore the impact of state and legislative developments on Travellers, as well as their experience of missions, education, war and welfare. It also covers legal developments affecting Travellers and crucially argues that their history must not be dealt with in isolation but as part of a wider history of British minorities. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students concerned with minority groups, the welfare state and the expansion of government, as well as general readers and practitioners working with Travellers.

DNweekeND – Doncaster's first ever Right Up Our Street arts festival has kicked off.
The festival includes free entertainment, performances and installations from local and international artists until Sunday.
From dry-land synchronised swimming experiences in the Sir Nigel Gresley Square fountains from Yorkshire Life Aquatic to the Pif-Paf Submercycle, where people of Doncaster were invited to journey on a voyage of discovery under the seas in the town centre, the weekend is promising the opportunity to discover or do something truly unique in the town.
DNweekeND is the first festival to be organised by Right Up Our Street, Doncaster's successful bid to Arts Council England's Creative People and Places fund.
DNweekeND is part of the Yorkshire Festival Fringe, the first ever arts festival to precede the Grand Départ in its 111 year history.
It will also be hard to miss DNweekeND – with a total of 48 events taking place across 14 locations around Doncaster and surrounding areas of Balby, Bentley, East and Mexborough, including performances, workshops and surprising happenings at The Frenchgate Centre and The Waterdale Shopping Centre, Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery, Sir Nigel Gresley Square (outside Cast), The Point, Doncaster Central Library and Mexborough Markets.
The festival concludes tomorrow.

I'm trying to create forms using Frontpage. I've managed to create a form that a customer fills out, and I get the email results of that form. The problem I'm having is, the entire checkout process requires three separate forms, on three coinciding web pages which in turn sends three emails to my email account of which I cannot sort out as to which customer they belong to. To put it more simply, customer fills out form one, on page one of the checkout process, clicks submit (I get an email with the results), customer then gets hyperlinked to page two of the checkout process, I get email results from page 2, and so on..., with three emails form results, pairing them up is impossible.
I'm aware of IP registering, which essentially, from what I understand should show the customer's IP address in the form results that I receive through email so I can pair up the emails to the IP addresses.
How would I be able to set this up?
Thank you for your time.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Birmingham-Southern Head Men's Soccer Coach Preston Goldfarb and his daughter, Aly Goldfarb, traveled to Australia over the holiday break for the Maccabi Australia International Games, and came home with the silver medal.
Coach Goldfarb served as head coach for the Maccabi USA Open Men's Soccer Team, while Aly was team manager.
The team opened play with five straight wins defeating Australia Gold, 7-2, the Maccabi USA Youth Team, 2-0, Mexico, 10-0, Brazil, 2-1, and Australia Blue, 4-0, to wrap up pool play. The team advanced to the gold medal game, where they faced Brazil again and lost 3-0.
"I must say that the best team did not win gold," Coach Goldfarb said. "We won five, lost one, and tied zero, while Brazil won four, lost one (to us) and tied one. So, I still believe we were truly the best team in this tournament and this team was an incredible joy to not only coach but be with every day. I am very proud of them and they showed class in losing as they did in all our wins. This was a truly wonderful experience for me and Aly."

This for this list, Barbara. You reminded me of a few I'd forgotten about. I haven't been to Cyndi's List for a while - that might be one you want to mention. And I have a few links to free sites on the left side of my blog. Is it cheating to tell you to go look at my blog (because I can't remember them)?

Barbara - Thank you so much for mentioning my blog. I appreciate your kind words. FYI, I updated the links at the very bottom of my blog. I list the sites that I use the most. I hope other people may find them helpful as well. Most are either free or minimal cost. I appreciate the value of the pay sites, but am amazed at how much is still free.
