If the past few months haven't caused you to question your entire approach to investing, then you haven't been paying attention.
Our financial system is in chaos. On average, investors have lost nearly half of their portfolios' value. Is it any wonder that many Americans are taking a second look at some of their long-held beliefs about investing?
Thanks, but no thanks
Wealthy investors, in particular, appear to be making one move that may have broader implications for the future of the investment industry.
According to InvestmentNews, high-net-worth investors are reacting to the ongoing crisis by shunning financial advisors. Previously, wealthy clients often relied on advisors for everything from asset allocation to investment selection and estate planning. Now, after having endured a crushing bear market and stories of outright fraud a la Bernie Madoff, many well-to-do investors are taking on the risk of going it alone.
But can investors do a better job on their own than the Wall Street elite?
Going it alone
After all, we're in the midst of an unprecedented financial shake-up. Industry stalwarts like Citigroup
Given the economic uncertainty, figuring out which companies are poised to outperform is more challenging than ever.
But we here at The Motley Fool have long championed the individual investor's ability to beat the market -- and the experts. That means that even in the midst of tough times, there's no reason you can't succeed -- provided you follow a few important guidelines as you search out winning stocks.
Taking charge
First, make sure your portfolio accurately reflects your time horizon and risk tolerance. As you get closer to retirement, more of your assets should be in fixed-income investments like bonds. But no matter how close you are to retirement, a portion of your portfolio should be in stocks -- and to do that well, you need to know how comfortable you are with risk.
Investors with low tolerances for risk should stay away from higher-risk companies that have significant debt loads, high prices relative to future earnings, or potentially uncertain future income streams -- even if they're touted as the "next big thing." Instead, these risk-averse folks should stick to more established, potentially slower-growing companies with strong cash flows, solid earnings, and reasonable valuations, like McDonald's
Just remember -- you don't get something for nothing. The possibility of higher returns means you have to take on greater risk, so don't shoot for the stars if you can't deal with occasionally missing the mark in the short run.
Second, remember that diversification is not dead. While this downturn has left few unaffected, a well-diversified portfolio is still your best defense against eating cat food during your retirement. That's because it ensures that even if one company, industry, or country takes a hit, your portfolio is balancing those investments with ones outside the affected area.
Make sure you hold stocks from a range of market capitalizations, from small to large, as well as from a range of industries. Include at least a handful of stocks that are based abroad. Be sure to include both growth- and value-oriented stocks in your portfolio as well. Don't load up on any one sector of the market -- that defeats the whole purpose of diversification!
Third, don't be afraid to ask for a little help in your investment journey. There is a wealth of opportunities out there, including investing seminars, countless books on the subject, daily news sources, and of course, investment communities like the Fool! They can help you learn more about individual companies, share ideas, and evaluate investment strategies.
Solo efforts
It may not be clear sailing right now, but there's no reason why you can't take charge of your own investment future and succeed. It just takes some time, some attention, and some perseverance.
And don't forget, there's nothing wrong with supplementing your individual stock-hunting efforts with some advice from the top names in the business. A handful of well-managed mutual funds can be an excellent complement for any investor going it alone in this market. That's what we specialize in at Motley Fool Champion Funds -- and you can see what we're recommending right now with a free 30-day trial. Just click here to get started.

Montessori for Everybody
Our company provides products and services to assist schools, parents, and others in using a Montessori approach to learning, teaching, and training. The emphasis of the first phase of our offering is education of children, primarily ages 3 to 12, but will eventually include using Montessori principles with all ages including adults in training and other business settings.
More than 200 new Montessori schools open in the U.S. alone each year. We plan to be their must-visit resource on the Internet and number one teacher training and parent education resource.
One of the principles we use to make learning easy is illustrating abstract concepts with something concrete and easy to grasp. This gives an interesting opportunity for our logo to really reinforce what we teach people to do.
The Montessori orientation includes: a learner-led focus, a prepared environment to facilitate learning, and a unique, hands-off but attentive style of respect from the teacher or mentor. We use a square, triangle, and circle when we teach people how to approach each aspect of this learning triad. The circle is sometimes a set of three or more concentric circles to represent the responsibility of the mentor to analyze carefully what the learner needs and to look deeper for solutions to learning problems.
Our website and products serve anyone interested in a more humane and creative way to parent and teach. Though our logo needs to appeal to our current target market (typically parents, teachers, and care providers for children school-age and younger), ideally it will stay with us as our umbrella image as we expand our programs to the training and business development products now being created.
With over 2500 schools in the U.S. alone, and 5,000 new Montessori teachers in the last 5 years, this is the fasted growing segment of the education market. Help us help you too - we will definitely recommend designers we like to the hundreds of schools - and those looking to open schools - who will be working with us.
Avoiding Confusion
The three shapes we use are used commonly in the Montessori community. It is especially important that our logo not be confused with those of the American Montessori Society http://www.amshq.org/ , Association Montessori Internationale http://www.montessori-ami.org/ , or the Gonzagarredi logo of the Juliana Group http://www.julianagroup.com/. Any designs that resemble these won't be chosen.
Our temporary working logo includes a graphic of those shapes superimposed on one another. The design we are seeking may include a more balanced and refined version of that or something very different that still incorporates those shapes. The final result should be a fit with children's education but sophisticated and simple enough that it can still be used when our programs for adults are brought out later this year.
Our approach of focusing on foundational elements of effective learning is the reason we have chosen a subdued red, blue, yellow triad color scheme. These specific colors should be used (or it should be immediately obvious why you changed them):
Web Colors
Light Blue, ccccff
Red1, 660000
Red2, 990000
(The first is really darker than I like and the second is too light. Usually, the first one would be the choice, but at times the lighter may work better.)
Dark Blue, 000066
Yellow, ffff99
Print Colors
Light Blue, c8d7f0
Red, 80 00 00
Dark Blue, 19195f,
Yellow, f0e68c
We're not very big on yellow (even a very muted one like this) so we'd like it used very sparingly. The blues and red should dominate.
Our web site is currently being completely reworked, so please don't pay any attention to the current look and feel or colors there.
Vector graphics are required and we need one done in the web colors and another done in the print colors.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for March to Crime Analyst Charlene Estes. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Estes has worked for the Police Department since March 1982. She was nominated in the categories of safety and productivity by her supervisor, Sergeant Dick Kohles, for her work leading to the arrest of a suspect for burglary and sexual assault.
Last December, Estes was meeting with Police Chief Tom Casady to prepare for an evening meeting on crime trends. Casady reviewed a burglary and attempted sexual assault case that had occurred a few days earlier. Estes noticed that the crime bore several similarities to a crime that had occurred more than four months earlier. In both cases, the victims were Asian women, the burglar had tried to sexually assault the victim, and entry was made into a ground floor apartment by forcing open a window. Both victims also gave similar descriptions of the suspect.
The possibility that a serial rapist was at large was discussed with police personnel at the evening meeting. A detective recognized the similarities of the crimes with a burglary she was investigating. In that crime, the victim was not at home, but the entry was a ground floor window, and the resident was an Asian female. In this case, a suspect had already been identified through a fingerprint. The next day, this information was shared with all officers at shift briefings. The case took on a high priority, and for the next two weeks, officers actively sought the suspect. He was arrested January 6 and is now charged with several felonies, including two counts of attempted rape.
In his nomination, Kohles noted that Estes made the initial connection despite the fact that more than four months had elapsed between the cases, and hundreds of burglaries had been reported over that time. He said if Estes had not made this connection, the suspect could be at large today. Even if he had been arrested, he would have been charged only with a single, and much less serious, count of burglary.
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are customer relations, loss prevention and valor. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected officials and some managers. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public. Nomination forms are available from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program.
All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

A C-section is the delivery of a baby through a surgical opening in the mother's lower belly area. It is also called a cesarean section.
Alternative Names
Abdominal delivery; Abdominal birth; Cesarean section
A C-section delivery is done when it is not possible or safe for the mother to deliver the baby through the vagina.
The procedure is usually done while the woman is awake. The body is numbed from the chest to the feet using epidural or spinal anesthesia.
The surgeon make a cut across the belly just above the pubic area. The womb (uterus) and amniotic sac are opened, and the baby is delivered.
The health care team clears the baby's mouth and nose of fluids, and the umbilical cord is cut. The pediatrician or nurse makes sure that the infant's breathing is normal and that the baby is stable.
The mother is awake, and she can hear and see her baby. The father or another support person is often able to be with the mother during the delivery.
The decision to have a C-section delivery depends on:
- Your doctor
- Where you are having the baby
- Previous childbirth
- Your medical history
Some reasons for having C-section instead of vaginal delivery include:
Problems with the baby:
- Abnormal heart rate in the baby
Abnormal positionof the baby in the womb, such as crosswise (transverse) or feet-first (breech)
- Developmental problems such as hydrocephalus or spina bifida
- Multiple pregnancy (triplets, and sometimes, twins)
Health problems and medical history in the mother:
- Active genital herpes infection
- Large uterine fibroids near the cervix
- HIV infection in the mother
- Previous C-section
- Previous uterine surgery
- Severe illness in the mother, including heart disease,
preeclampsiaor eclampsia
Problems with labor or delivery:
- Baby's head is too large to pass through the birth canal
- Labor that takes too long or stops
- Very large baby
Problems with the placenta or umbilical cord:
- Placenta covers all or part of the opening to the birth canal (
placenta previa)
- Placenta prematurely separated from uterine wall (
placenta abruptio)
- Umbilical cord comes through the opening of the birth canal before the baby (umbilical cord prolapse)
A C-section is a safe procedure. The rate of serious complications is extremely low. However, certain risks are higher after C-section than after vaginal delivery. These include:
- Infection of the bladder or uterus
- Injury to the urinary tract
- Injury to the baby
A C-section may also cause problems in future pregnancies. This includes a higher risk for:
- Placenta previa
- Placenta growing into the muscle of the uterus and has trouble separating after the baby is born (placenta accreta)
- Uterine rupture
These conditions can lead to severe bleeding (hemorrhage), which may require blood transfusions or removal of the uterus (hysterectomy).
All surgeries carry risks. Risks due to anesthesia may include:
- Reactions to medications
- Problems breathing
Risks related to surgery in general may include:
- Bleeding
- Blood clots in the leg or pelvic veins
- Infection
Expectations after surgery
Most mothers and infants do well after a c-section.
Women who have a C-section may have a vaginal delivery if another pregnancy occurs, depending on:
- The type of C-section done
- Why the C-section was done
Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) delivery is usually successful. However, there is a small risk of uterine rupture, which can harm the mother and the baby. It is important to discuss the benefits and risks of VBAC with your health care provider.
The average hospital stay after C-section is 2 – 4 days. Recovery takes longer than it would from a vaginal birth. You should walk around after the C-section to speed recovery. Pain medication taken by mouth can help ease any pain.

Relics of the Past

As I recall there weren't very many of them (the doorknobs)left to rescue. The "blob" of beeswax was always such a mysterious thing to me. I remember running the thread through the beeswax over and over again and watching as the thread got thicker and thicker. Mother tried hard to teach us how to make do with what we had. The pin box is a happy, familiar sight. Learning to sew on the treadle sewing machine was so much fun - coordination to the max!

- Elizabeth said...
Sorry, Dwight. Maybe Ann is correct - that there weren't many of them. Louise has one. Do you, Judy? My memory is hazy about how many of the knobs were replaced. After all, that's about 37 years ago. And the memory is the first to go.

Now I feel terrible. But, like Solomon, I can't cut this one in half and share it between Steve and Dwight, so guess I'll just keep it. I always thought it would be cool attaached to a pretty board and used as a hangar.
- August 9, 2009 at 4:43 PM
- Judy said...
Actually, you could just give it to me since I don't have one either. And notice that Ann doesn't come right out and say that she does or does not have one.
These are friends from our past. You almost have to been there to understand the sentiment. I actually just darned a couple of socks that I loved and was not ready to pitch. The darning will probably last longer than the rest of the sock. Thanks for doing this posting, Eliz!

Am I in trouble? Chalk it up to a poor memory. - who has and who hasn't????

I was just really thankful we weren't the "relics of the past". For me that is a huge upside to this post!

In other words, Santorum is right and his hardcore libertarian opponents are wrong.
Rick Santorum has stated that he believes that there is no right to privacy in the Constitution. Therefore, Supreme Court decisions such as Griswold v. Connecticut (striking down Connecticut's anti-contraception statutes) and Lawrence v. Texas (striking down Texas's anti-homosexual sodomy laws) were wrong.
Mitt Romney artfully dodged this question at a recent debate, so Santorum's coming under fire for stating what should be taken as a given among so-called conservative constitutionalists. As indicated in prior posts, Santorum does not suggest that he would personally favor such laws; in fact he has expressly stated that he would not vote for laws that banned contraception or sodomy.
Santorum's main fault, evidently, is that he is expressing an originalist understanding of the constitution. Both of the decisions referenced above were gross miscarriages of constitutional justice. No matter what you think of the laws in questions, Supreme Court Justices are supposed to decide cases based on the constitution, not their personal policy preferences. In both cases, the majority opinion was based on policy, though justified with a thin veneer of constitutional justification.
In the case of Griswold, Justice William O. Douglas wrote the famous majority opinion in which he stated that though there is no right to privacy expressly stated in the constitution, it is found in "penumbras" and "emanations" found in other constitutional rights. Justice Kennedy wrote the majority opinion in Lawrence, relying heavily on the concept of substantive due process, a legal concept that has enabled the Court to completely trample on states' rights. In other words, the Court struck down state laws that ran afoul of no direct constitutional prohibition. The writers of these majority decisions had to contort the plain meaning of the document in order to justify a decision they had already reached without reference to the constitutional text.
Both of these cases sparked notable dissenting opinions. Potter Stewart in Griswold and Clarence Thomas in Lawrence said much the same thing: the law under consideration is uncommonly silly, and if i were a legislator in this particular state I would vote against such a law. But my job as a jurist is to determine whether the law is constitutional or not, and neither Stewart or Thomas considered the law in either case to run afoul of the constitution. The sentiment expressed by both Stewart and Thomas should inform any intellectually honest jurist.
Justice Arthur Goldberg offered a concurring opinion in Griswold that some conservatives have found to be more compelling, citing the Ninth Amendment as justification for striking down the Connecticut statute. The problem with this rationale is that the ninth amendment ought to be read in conjunction with the tenth. The Bill of Rights in general were meant to be restrictions placed upon the federal government. The ninth and tenth amendments exists because the framers of the Bill of Rights fretted that the Bill of Rights would be read to imply that only the rights contained therein were protected. in fact many of the opponents of the Bill of Rights opposed creating such a list precisely because they believed that a specific enumeration of rights would imply that rights not listed were not protected. So the ninth amendment assures us that the first eight amendments are not an exhaustive list of protections. But again, this has to be read in light of the purpose of restricting the power of the federal government. It is not a broad grant of individual rights, but an assurance that the federal government could not augment its reach beyond certain delineated fields. If anything, the ninth amendment should be used as a cudgel against the Court and the federal government in general in their attempts to restrict states rights.
Therefore I find it odd that those who claim to be averse to a centralized, big brother government are content with said government being able to strike down state laws for no other than the laws in question are of questionable value. It suggests to me that those who cry "Nanny Statist!" with regards to Rick Santorum ought to look in the mirror.

What do Elvis, vinyl records and traditional selling techniques have in common? They are all dead—even though a small percentage of you still believe Elvis is alive, use vinyl records or are still trying the same old techniques for selling your services or products to consumers. However, it is time to put these ideas to rest, move on and learn new approaches to selling if you want to succeed in today's economy. Let's explore those new ways by showing you the old methods and then the new methods you need to adopt in your sales approach.
Prospecting and Positioning
You probably have heard that selling is a numbers game. To some extent, that is correct. However, approaching sales through cold calling takes time and energy, which could be better spent on other revenue-producing activities, such as training or ancillary services. So, a better approach to increasing sales is to position your club in the market. Simply put, positioning is how your market defines you in relation to your competitors. You can establish a good position by answering the following questions:
- What makes your club unique?
- What benefits do your customers think you provide?
- What is your competitive advantage?
It is critical that you answer these questions for positioning to work. Once you have established yourself in the marketplace as the expert, then people will seek you out instead of you having to cold call them.
Control and Trust
The typical sales situation puts the control in the salespeople's hands, which puts clients in an apprehensive state of mind and makes sales more difficult. Clients are apprehensive because they have been burned before, so they already have a lack of trust even before a pitch is made. Instead of trying to control the situation, begin by building trust with your customers. Listen to their needs and show them that you are there for their benefit, not yours. By building trust, you create clients who will buy over and over and eventually may become your biggest fans. Remember, clients must trust you before they will buy from you.
Close and Value
Tons of books are written on sales closing techniques, and some of the techniques in the books are effective. However, people will buy because they believe the price you are charging is equal to the value they perceive they will get from it. Being shortsighted and concentrating on just the close of the sale can risk the lifetime value of the customer. Create value in a customer's mind, and you will create a life-long customer.

November 16, 2007
Two alumni involved in a contentious public debate about city annexation brought Wabash students into the process Thursday night.
Brad Johnson '71 and Mike Shaver '73 led a discussion Nov, 15, in Baxter 114 on Democracy, Public Policy, and Involuntary Municipal Annexation in Indiana. The on-going battle between the city of Fishers and the non-incorporated town of Geist about annexation was at the center of the debate. Johnson is a citizen of Geist who opposes Fishers' attempts to acquire the town. Shaver is an economic developer who is working for Fishers.
Twenty economic and political science students were in attendance, and they were encouraged and willing to use the discussion as a way to apply what they have learned in class to real world policy analysis.
"For those of you who are doing economics, when you go out to look for jobs try to use words like 'I'd like to do policy analysis,' which will be really important in some of the things that you're going to be doing," said Shaver, who laid out the legal framework governing annexation in Indiana. "The stuff that I do is a lot of public policy, economic development policy, how do we plan our communities so that we have good things to offer and increasing property values. So this annexation issue is part of how communities grow and you can't separate it from those two things, although it's a very inconvenient thing for the people who are being annexed."
Fishers continues to experience sustained growth and wants to acquire Geist in order to generate more revenue. Some Geist residents oppose the plan because it will mean their taxes will go up and because they will be put under Fishers' political control. The entire debate is made even more complicated because the residents of Geist receive fire protection, police assistance, and park and recreational benefits without paying the full price of the services, said Mr. Shaver.
Citing Indiana Code, Shaver went through the statutory requirements for cities that want to annex other locales. A city must make public its intention to add more land, provide how capital and non-capital services will be provided, as well as provide approve official plans, budgets, and other requirements. If the town attempting to be annexed wants to resist, 65 percent of residents must sign a petition stating that fact. Whether or not either side met their obligations has been and continues to be the subject of much litigation.
As a result of the political fallout, litigation, and confusion, Fishers now has three annexation plans on the table while Geist is seeking incorporation.
"The bottom line of this whole thing is that it's a revenue grab on the part of Fishers," Johnson said. "From a public policy standpoint, I can understand why they're doing it. Clearly the revenues they will generate from annexation will exceed the cost of the services they will need to extend over the years. It will be a net positive revenue flow to them. But whether or not that justification supports annexing their neighbors against their will is a political question. Why use the overkill … of the approach of political control over an area when really all it is about getting additional revenues?"
At the end of the night, the students and alumni put forward ideas increasing surcharges on the Geist residents, ending services in Geist altogether, removing involuntary annexation, allowing Fishers more freedom on municipal tax levies, conduct arbitration proceedings, or require concurring referenda from both parties for annexation.
There was no agreement on how to go forward, but they all agreed the system is inefficient and the event itself was educational.
"I thought it was pretty informative," said Travis McLaughlin, a junior who sees himself making a profession of the types of policy analyses that go into developments like the annexation controversy. "I thought it was very interesting to hear the lengths both sides were going to to fight it out, and how much it's being decided based on politics and disagreements about economics; how there's really not a clear answer on the table yet. There's no substitute for real world experience, but having people coming to share real world experience is the next best thing."
Economic Professor Frank Howland thought it was a useful model of how policy disagreements should be argued.
"I thought it was very interesting," said Howland, who worked through the Experience Indiana program to organize the event. "I thought it was very good to have one practitioner and another interested party. It was an excellent example of really friendly, reasonable disagreement with good ideas put on both sides."

Myasthenia Gravis (MG)
Weakness and fatigue are common complaints in the general population, but the degree and pattern of these symptoms — particularly diplopia, ptosis and other signs of weakness in the eye muscles — should alert a neurologist to the possibility of myasthenia gravis (MG).
A neurologist will ask many questions and conduct a physical exam to determine the extent of weakness. To look for evidence of increased weakness following exertion, a neurologist might ask the patient to look up without blinking for one or two minutes, hold the arms out for as long as possible or climb up steps.
If the physical exam is consistent with MG, the neurologist usually orders a blood test designed to detect antibodies to the ACh receptor. A blood test for MuSK antibodies is also available. Positive test results confirm a diagnosis of MG.
If the blood tests are negative, the next step is usually electrodiagnostic testing, in which electrodes are used to measure the electrical signals in muscle. Surface electrodes (similar to those used in electrocardiograms) deliver small shocks to a nerve in the arm, leg or face, while other surface electrodes record the responses in muscle. In MG, a muscle's response to repeated nerve stimulation declines rapidly.
In addition to or in place of electrodiagnosis, the neurologist might try giving an intravenous injection ofedrophonium (Tensilon), a fast-acting cholinesterase inhibitor. (Cholinesterase inhibitors are used in the treatment of MG.) A temporary increase in strength after this "Tensilon test" is consistent with MG.
If a diagnosis of MG is confirmed, a CT scan, chest X-rays or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be used to examine the thymus and look for evidence of a thymic tumor, which occurs in about 15 percent of people with MG.

devfs tackles all listed problems. It only provides the user with existing devices, adds new nodes when new devices are found, and makes it possible to mount the root filesystem read only. And it tackles more problems we haven't discussed previously because they are less interesting for users...
For instance, with devfs, you don't have to worry about major/minor pairs. It is still supported (for backwards compatibility), but isn't needed. This makes it possible for Linux to support even more devices, since there are no limits anymore (numbers always have boundaries :)
Yet devfs does come with it's own problems; for the end users these issues
aren't really visible, but for the kernel maintainers the problems are big

Let's first take a look at the groups part. As an example we view the sound-group:
<sound>=/dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/midi* \ /dev/mixer* /dev/sequencer* \ /dev/sound/* /dev/snd/* /dev/beep \ /dev/admm* \ /dev/adsp* /dev/aload* /dev/amidi* /dev/dmfm* \ /dev/dmmidi* /dev/sndstat
The syntax is quite easy: you start with a group-name, and end with a list of devices that belong to that group.
Now, groups aren't very useful if you can't do anything with them. So the next part describes how permissions are handled.
<console> 0600 <sound> 0600 root.audio
The first field is the terminal check. On most systems, this is the console-group. PAM will check this field for every login. If the login happens on a device contained in the console-group, PAM will check and possibly change the permissions on some device files.
The second field contains the permissions to which a device file is set upon succesfull login. When a person logs into the system, and the device files are owned by a default owner/group, PAM wil change the ownership to the logged on user, and set the permissions to those in this second field. In this case, 0600 is used (user has read/write access, all others don't).
The third field contains the device-group whose permissions will be changed. In this case, the sound-group (all device files related to sound) will be changed.
The fourth field defines the permissions to which the device file is set after returning to the default state. In other words, if the person who owns all the device files logs out, PAM will set the permissions back to a default state, described by this fourth field.
The fifth field defines the ownership (with group if you want) to which the device attributes are set after returning to the default state. In other words, if the person who owns all the device files logs out, PAM will set the ownership back to a default state, described by this fifth field.
If you really want to set permissions using
REGISTER ^cdroms/.* PERMISSIONS root.cdrom 0660
The second field is the device group, starting from
The fourth field is the ownership of the device file. Unlike with PAM
this isn't changed (unless it is mentioned in
The fifth field contains the permissions of the device file.
This is the default behaviour for Gentoo: if you
REGISTER ^pt[sy]/.* IGNORE CHANGE ^pt[sy]/.* IGNORE CREATE ^pt[sy]/.* IGNORE DELETE ^pt[sy] IGNORE REGISTER ^log IGNORE CHANGE ^log IGNORE CREATE ^log IGNORE DELETE ^log IGNORE REGISTER .* COPY /lib/dev-state/$devname $devpath CHANGE .* COPY $devpath /lib/dev-state/$devname CREATE .* COPY $devpath /lib/dev-state/$devname DELETE .* CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink /lib/dev-state/$devname RESTORE /lib/dev-state

The 니가 situation.
And that is, I don't buy this 니가 story really. And I'm frustrated at the moment at my inability to check out the Korean media for myself to follow up on it, although I have a feeling that wouldn't really help. What I do buy is a story I saw posted up on one of the video links early on which sounded almost like someone who was linked directly to the situation, who said that the foreigner had been on the phone, talking supposedly loudly, and the Korean man had either told him to "be quiet" or to "shut up please". That, to me, sounds like a much more likely story, and here's why:
I don't believe that a Korean man who was polite enough to offer a seat to a foreigner would use the word 니가 to refer to that foreigner. To put that word in context, nobody from my closest older friends on to my boyfriend to people out in public speaking to me in 반말 for whatever reason, has ever referred to me as 니가. Ever. It just isn't natural for a Korean to look at a grown man -- any grown man -- who they don't know and come out with that word. Especially not someone who is trying to do something as kind as offer a seat. It would have been way more likely that the man, even if he was speaking in low form, to just say, "여기 앉아." There would be no need to even bring a subject into it, and, from what I know at least, very unnatural to, as well.
What I have heard time and again, and even seen for myself in the case of two women speaking Chinese on a bus, are accounts of Koreans telling people speaking in a foreign language to be quiet. I don't find that story hard to buy at all.
The other thing is that, if you watch the video, it's clear that this man is not fresh off the boat. He speaks several phrases in Korean to the man which make it extremely clear that he is not completely ignorant of the language. And, especially if he is a teacher around the students on a daily basis, he would be used to hearing the word 니가 all the time. Once you are in tune enough with the sound of Korean to be speaking some of it correctly in context, you are in tune enough to notice the sound of such a common recurring word as that. There's no way he hasn't already noticed it.
I believe the Korean media is trying to fall back on the idea that this kind man was just trying to offer a seat to a foreigner, and he misunderstood, took it completely out of context and flipped his shit. I'm much more inclined to believe the phone story. And I'm also not so quick to condemn the man's reaction, for reasons that The Metropolitician has already outlined much better than I am able to. Is it acceptable behavior? Fuck no. Not b a long shot. But it's easy for white foreigners to tsk tsk about it without taking into consideration just how often this man may have been told to shut up on public transport before. Or any other number of forms of harassment, offensive statements, staring the likes of which even we can't imagine and ignorant questions he has already faced just in this one example day alone.
That's it, really. I don't buy the 니가 thing. And I don't think any critically thinking Koreans would, either. Because it doesn't make sense to me, and it shouldn't make sense to them, if they didn't really want it to.

I've read a couple of reports in Korean, and none in english apart from one of the blog posts mentioned. What I've read seems to imply that both happened. That the old man said "shut up", the guy got angry, and to try and calm him down but in a fairly aggravated way the old man said "니가 여기 앉아." And perhaps we shouldn't discount the possibility that he was getting pissed off by someone speaking 반말 to him ;)

Well that's what I was thinking was that 니가 would not have come up right away. Either way, I think the foreigners talking about how the man bothered to learn a swear word in Korean but not the word for "you" and how that's amazing should maybe look at the situation again for a minute and realize that that is pretty amazing.... so amazing that it doesn't really make sense.
And that's the other thing I was going to say is, if this is being reported this way in the Korean media, then why aren't they addressing the 반말 issue? Once the situation got escalated, it would be more expected that the Korean man would be speaking to him that way, because he is older and agitated. But if he really was just sitting there before any interaction occured and just came out with 니가 to someone who isn't even a student, that would be questionable to begin with.

I sincerely hope that was a case of misunderstanding. I just hope that he did not understand what 니가 means.

Agreed.The man(definitely not an FOB) just happens to be the scapegoat for the media. The Korean media is known to burst extreme case-biased, provacative reports in order to make sales -_-; And it's also known to instanly cool off just like a sauce pan which surely lacks the responsibility to report the aftermath or further investigate. People are aware of this, and really don't care much to change it either. This is why the Japanese(Far Right) often make a ridicule of Koreans as 냄비근성 which partially is quite true foremostly encouraged by the media.
And yes, if the old man was a war veteran, he would know the meaning and that the Korean word for 니가 can relate to 1.discrimination, 2. 반말 which in my case will make sure he pays intellectually. My advice to any foreigners in Korea is to think on your own whether it be right or wrong instead of beleiving the media. Some media are far left or right. Sometimes, they just decide to prance on a sigle meal in accordance as if they have agreed upon. 댓글 도배해서 ㅈㅅ 함다~ ^-^/

Worth keeping in mind is that the media often follows what's popular with the netizens (and those reports are then followed by politicians - had an HIV or drug test lately?).
As for language ability, I learned swearwords (often from friends or movies) long before 니가. Part of that had more to do with the book I learned from, but the point is I wouldn't be surprised to find someone who knew swearwords but not pronouns (or a larger range of pronouns).
Also, this article says he came to Korea in February.

Dongsu -- Yeah, the thing is, it isn't just the Korean media that is that way, but there seems to be something particular to the viral nature of cases like this. Of course, we can't say he is a scapegoat just because he is foreign, because I've seen three or four cases of public transport bad behavior caught on video by Koreans in the last few months alone. The netizens are just as angry about those cases, and they spread just as quickly. It might be more interesting to start to question what it is about life in Korea (especially Seoul) that creates so much tension that seems to explode so often in that situation. But interesting, intelligent journalism is just difficult to find. And I certainly can't find it in Korean, given my current level.
Matt -- He didn't just use a swear word, though. He used several different phrases with pretty decent pronunciation (to my ears, anyway). He may not know what 니가 means, but he never noticed that word before? He spends five-six hours a day in a classroom with students speaking in Korean to each other since February and this was the first time he noticed the word 니가? Maybe he is really that clueless, but I find it harder to believe than the other story. Much harder. Especially given the fact that he's screaming in the man's face about "I'll shut YOU up" and not the N word.

I wasn't commenting on whether the 니가 moment happened (as you say, it seems unlikely, and with him repeating variations on the theme of 'shut up,' it's more likely that having that said to him is what set him off), just saying that people learn differently, especially when they might not be trying very hard to. Back before I could string a sentence longer than a few words together, I would have probably had great pronunciation of swearwords just from watching gangster films (gangster comedies, to be exact, as those were the style at the time).

For what it's worth, NO beginning Korean Language books that I've seen mention "니가". "You" is either "너" or "당신". And why would he hear "니가" in a haggwon if he's teaching kids? Wouldn't kids automatically use "당신"? And as INP mentionaed, "You" is often dropped from most Korean conversations as a subject anyway. So it's a reasonable idea that he's never heard it.
- 15:45
- I'm no Picasso said...
Feld dog -- Do children only ever speak to their teachers? I didn't realize that. Because I'm pretty sure that when I'm surrounded by my students, they are usually talking to each other?
The point is not really whether or not the average person would notice or know what the word 니가 means -- the point is, if this man were so sensitive to the sound of the word, surely he would have already had a reaction to it, considering he's been here since February. Sitting at tables in restaurants next to couples or friends having conversations, listening to other people talk on the bus or subway, in bars and coffee shops... 니가 does not often happen between strangers, but it is commonly used among equals and close friends, especially from childhood. I find it hard to believe that on this one day, seven months into his Korean experience, he suddenly heard this word for the first time and lost his shit. If people find that to be a more reasonable story than that a Korean man told a foreigner speaking in English on the phone on the bus to be quiet, then that's fine. I don't. And I'm not going to. No matter what ridiculous situationally specific argument anyone manages to come up with.

Well now that the "니가" myth has been put to rest, any speculation on how it got started? It does fit in nicely with a few well know narratives.

It was, according to the man himself, "shut up": http://biz.heraldm.com/common/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110830000760
Although this account from someone on the bus ( http://pann.nate.com/talk/312659446 ) says (I think? anyone with better Korean than mine, feel free to correct me) that he couldn't really hear the exchange that escalated the situation, that the original problem was that the foreigner was being too loud on the phone, and the grandfather naturally would have told him to be quiet. But that part is in Korean, with no mention of "shut up" specifically.

"Hubble Repairman" John Grunsfeld Becomes Research Professor at Johns Hopkins University
NASA astronaut John Grunsfeld has walked in space eight times and logged more than 800 hours floating in that deep, dark void over the course of five space flights, including three to service the Hubble Space Telescope. Now, he is about to explore a new frontier: The Johns Hopkins University.
On July 1, the man nicknamed "the Hubble Repairman" became a research professor in the Henry A. Rowland Department of Physics and Astronomy at the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. While at Johns Hopkins, Grunsfeld, who is deputy director at the Space Telescope Science Institute, will continue his research in astrophysics and the development of new technology and systems for space astronomy.

Poor old Herbert Hoover gets blamed for a lot of things, chief among them his inability to miraculously halt the Great Depression.
Maligned as the former president is, he was a smart and studied man. Much of what we regard as the modern American criminal justice system owes to Hoover's influences. Unfortunately, among all the good he did to professionalize criminal justice, he made one small grievous error that manifests even today.
That error is the lasting legacy of Harry Anslinger. In 1930, Anslinger, a career diplomat, was tapped by Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon to head the newly formed Federal Bureau of Narcotics, a predecessor to the modern Drug Enforcement Administration.
Under Anslinger's direction, the FBN worked to increase penalties for drug usage and broaden enforcement measures. FBN efforts are generally credited with passage of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, as well as strengthening the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act of 1914.
During his 32 years running FBN, Anslinger proved to be a zealous champion of anti-narcotics enforcement. That said, his zeal evidenced not only a desire to rid the nation of dangerous drugs, but a deep-seated intolerance of racial and ethnic minorities. Anslinger, in league with the yellow journalist William Randolph Hearst, propagated a campaign that conflated the "problem" of blacks and Mexicans with the harms of illicit drugs.
A characteristically melodramatic Anslinger appeal is found in the July 1937 issue of American Magazine in which he writes: "Not long ago the body of a young girl lay crushed on the sidewalk after a plunge from a Chicago apartment window. Everyone called it suicide, but actually it was murder. The killer was a narcotic known to America as marijuana …"
With recent elections re-valuating marijuana's putative benefits as a palliative aid — and in Washington and Colorado as a recreational substance — it's clear the era of Reefer Madness has begun to subside. Even so, we must remain cognizant that there are liabilities associated with the use of marijuana.
That said, the deaths caused each year by alcohol and tobacco have become so woven into the national fabric that most would consider their prohibition completely unrealistic. Nonetheless, we have the current federal prohibition of marijuana. People concerned over the potential harm of marijuana often invoke the "gateway" argument. Scientists are less sure.
In an August issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health, Yale researchers conclude that people who used alcohol or tobacco in their youth are almost twice as likely to abuse prescription opiate drugs than those who only used marijuana. The study's authors qualify their findings with the observation that any youth substance abuse, including just marijuana use, makes people more than twice as likely to abuse prescription opiate drugs in young adulthood.
However, the study's authors note clinical data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health revealed that of the 12 percent of young adults who said they had abused prescription opiates, "prevalence of previous substance use was 57 percent for alcohol, 56 percent for cigarettes, and 34 percent for marijuana." Again, we have an obvious precursor boogeyman among us, but his lobbyists have a better head start than the marijuana industry.
The most interesting wrinkle in this debate comes from agents of the criminal justice system themselves. Recently, members of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder urging him to refrain from interfering with ballot initiatives approved by Colorado and Washington voters.
The LEAP letter, signed by "73 current and former police officers, judges, prosecutors and federal agents," reads in part: "At every crucial moment in history, there comes a time when those who derive their power from the public trust forge a new path by disavowing their expected function in the name of the greater good. This is your moment. As fellow officers who have seen the destruction the war on marijuana has wrought on our communities, on our police forces, on our lives, we hope that you will join us in seeking a better world."
Of course, in the best of worlds, modern medicine would have obviated a demand for marijuana; and people's notion of recreation wouldn't include having to escape something. Until those things manifest, the decades-old debate will likely persist.
Matthew Pate is a former law enforcement executive who holds a doctorate in criminal justice from the University of Albany and who has advised police agencies around the country. He writes from Pine Bluff, Ark. Contact him at email@example.com

The Group of 20 nations should take a stronger stance against currency manipulation at a meeting in Moscow, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said after conflicting statements on the weakening yen roiled markets.
Russia wants more "specific" language opposing exchange- rate interference in the communique that will be issued after talks among finance chiefs this week, Siluanov said in an interview today with Bloomberg Television's Ryan Chilcote. Russia holds the G-20's rotating presidency this year.
"The G-20 countries have always held the position that currency policy should be based on market conditions," Siluanov said. "I think we should take a more specific stance on this."
Russian central bank First Deputy Chairman Alexey Ulyukayev warned last month that the world was nearing the brink of a fresh "currency war" as countries weaken their currencies to make their exports more competitive. The yen has tumbled 17% in the past three months against the dollar. Financial markets whipsawed two days ago as the Group of Seven major industrialized countries issued a statement viewed by investors as accepting a declining yen, only for officials to then split over whether Japan was being singled out.
Yen Tolerance
The spotlight now falls on this weekend's G-20 meeting in the Russian capital as investors question how much tolerance there is for a weaker yen.
G-20 finance chiefs in November called for member nations to refrain from competitive devaluations and move rapidly toward more market-based exchange rates. One issue that will be addressed in Moscow is how foreign bond purchases can influence exchange rates, Siluanov said.
"Sharp moves in exchange rates of any country should be predictable, and actually shouldn't happen at all," he said. "We need to speak out more precisely about this issue and perhaps move from general phrases to more specific measures."
New Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government denies driving a devaluation, saying its two-month effort to revive the economy through looser monetary policy is aimed at ending deflation.

Most in community support officer who stayed home with kids during Hurricane Irma
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (WPEC) —
Legally speaking, did police go too far by suspending her?
They work hard through the hurricane to help us.
But should their job come first or their kids?
Tuesday night we first told you about a Port St. Lucie Police officer who was suspended without pay after she called in sick during Hurricane Irma in September because she had to stay home and take care of her children.
Legally speaking, did police go too far by suspending her?
One labor law attorney says the law in a case like this is clear.
According to an Internal Affairs report, Port St. Lucie Police officer Erika Curry has been suspended for 120 hours without pay for calling in sick during Hurricane Irma on September 9 and September 10. Her husband, a county firefighter, was activated and had to work during the storm.
She told her supervisors she couldn't get anyone to watch her two small kid, a little boy and little girl both under the age of 3, so she had to stay home during the hurricane and take care of her children. At first she requested vacation time. When that request was denied, she then called in sick.
"I've already booked out for today, so I wanted to let you know that tomorrow, of course, I'm gonna be calling in sick too because of the whole you know, no child care," Curry said in a voicemail that was released by Port St. Lucie Police.
People we spoke with in Port St. Lucie feel the police were wrong to suspend her.
"I don't think it's fair," said Janet Schlembach, Port St. Lucie part-time resident.
"I think it's wrong. I think your family comes first during Hurricane Irma," said Michele Webb, Port St. Lucie resident.
"I don't feel they should've suspended her. It's important to protect the people of Port St. Lucie during a hurricane but it's also extremely important for a mother to take care of her children as well," said Susan Slater, Port St. Lucie resident.
A labor law attorney says in cases like this, the law is not on Officer Curry's side.
"If you make the decision to not show up and the employer decides to take action in response, disciplinary in nature, your ability legally to address and respond to that is exceptionally limited," said Arthur Schofield, a labor law attorney in West Palm Beach.
Officer Erika Curry has already served her 120 hours' suspension without pay. She would not comment on camera.
But she told us: "As a mom, I think family comes first. I would like a plan put in place so no other first responder, male or female, is put in the position where they have to risk their job or be punished for protecting their family. I hope nobody else has to go through what I had to go through."
Do you think Port St. Lucie Police were wrong to suspend her for staying home to take care of her kids?
As of Wednesday evening, our CBS12.com poll on this question shows:
More than 200 people have voted.
About 35 percent say yes, she should've been suspended.
About 65 percent say no, she should not have been suspended by police for calling in sick in a hurricane to watch her children.

(Reuters) - The Detroit Tigers made Justin Verlander the highest paid pitcher in Major League Baseball, signing their ace right-hander to a record smashing five-year contract extension on Friday.
The Tigers did not announce terms of the deal but according to media reports, Verlander will remain under contract to Detroit through the 2019 season and could become MLB's first $200 million pitcher.
Verlander has two years remaining on his current five-year $79.5 million deal and combined with a new five-year $140 million extension that includes a club option for 2020 for another $22 million, he would become baseball's richest hurler.
He reportedly would make $28 million each season from 2015-2019.
The deal, which comes two days before the Major League season opens on Sunday, easily surpasses the seven-year, $175 million extension Felix Hernandez signed in February with the Seattle Mariners.
"Justin is one of the premier pitchers in baseball and we are thrilled to keep him in a Tigers uniform for many years to come," said Detroit president, chief executive and general manager Dave Dombrowski on the Tigers' website. "Justin has been a Tiger for his entire career and he is on pace to be one of the greatest pitchers in this illustrious franchise's history."
A five-time All-Star, Verlander has established himself as one of baseball's most dominant pitchers, claiming American League most valuable player and Cy Young Award honors in 2011.
Last season the 30-year-old right-hander went 17-8 with a 2.64 earned run average and 239 strikeouts in 33 starts in helping the Tigers to a World Series appearance against the San Francisco Giants.
His career record of 124-65 includes two no-hitters.

Insect Pests of Cole Crops
Two primary species of aphids attack cole crops; the cabbage aphid and the turnip aphids. Because they are similar in life habits and response to treatments, they will be considered together. Plants in seed beds and at all subsequent stages of their growth are frequently covered with dense clusters of whitish-green plant lice about the size of a pinhead, which suck the sap from the leaf. The affected leaves curl and crinkle or form cups, completely lined with the aphids, and in severe infestations, wilt and die. The plants, if not killed, are dwarfed, grow slowly and form small light heads that are not marketable. Badly infested plants become covered with a mass of the small soggy aphids, and the dying leaves and plants rapidly decay.
Aphids are more troublesome during cool, dry weather. Because these pests are difficult to control, treatments should be applied early. Two or three treatments at five-day intervals may be needed to clean up plants. When two percent of the plants are infested with aphids, an insecticide application should be made with high spray volume and adequate pressure to thoroughly wet foliage. Because of the waxy powder that covers the bodies of the aphids and the tendency of leaves to form pockets or cups which protect aphids, it is essential to add spreader-stickers to the spray mix. Destroy old stalks of cabbage as soon as the crop is harvested to help prevent destructive outbreaks of these aphids.
The cabbage looper is a very destructive and difficult to control pest of cabbage and other cole crops. It is the larva of a medium-sized grayish brown moth. The moths have a figure-eight shaped silver spot near the middle of each of the front wings. They have a wingspread of 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches. The moths are most active at night and fly about at plant height while they are laying eggs.
The moths lay their greenish-white eggs singly and mainly on the lower surfaces of the outer leaves of the plants. The eggs are smaller than a pinhead, ridged and almost round. Newly hatched larvae have dark heads and almost clear bodies. They later become pale green and have several white lengthwise stripes. Mature larvae are about 1 1/2 inches long. Larvae have only two pair of abdominal prolegs and move with a looping motion.
Newly hatched larvae usually eat out small areas on the undersides of leaves. As they grow, they move to the center of the plant, eating through the leaves between the veins. Large larvae are heavy feeders and may cause serious damage to marketable heads especially when numerous. Damage however, may at times be restricted to wrapper leaves.
The pupae are at first pale green, then become copper to pale brown in color as they mature. They are encased in loosely woven cocoons that are attached to a leaf or debris near the base of the plant.
After cupping (early head formation), insecticide treatments should be made when there is an average of one larva or one new hole per 10 plants.
The cabbage webworm is the larva of a moth that has brownish yellow front wings mottled with darker brown, and pale gray rear wings. The moths have a wingspread of a little more than one-half inch. When disturbed in the field, moths make short, erratic flights, and come to rest quickly among the leaves of a plant or on the ground, where their color blends with that of the soil.
Moths lay grayish-white eggs near the buds of young host plants. As the plants mature, moths begin to lay their eggs on the underside of leaves in the angle along the leaf stems.
Larval webworms are about one-half inch long when mature. They are dull grayish yellow, and marked with five conspicuous brownish-purple lengthwise stripes. Their heads are black and bear a V-shaped mark.
When they first hatch, larvae feed on either side of the partly-folded leaves of the plant buds. After a few days, they begin to feed beneath a protective web made from silk-like threads that they secrete. Sometimes the larvae are found on the outer leaves or along the main plant stalk in a leaf axil. They can be detected by debris and webs at the point of feeding.
Cabbage webworms tunnel into and kill the buds of young plants. Destruction of the original bud causes the production of secondary buds that cannot mature by harvest time. Less severe injury may disfigure the head produced from the original bud. Feeding on the outer leaves of older plants usually does little harm.
The shiny, light brown pupae are about one-fourth inch long. They form in a web that is attached to fallen leaves and other debris on the soil surface.
Treatments applied for other pests usually keep the webworm under control.
The moth of the cross-striped cabbageworm has a wingspread of about one inch. The front wings are mottled yellowish brown to brown, and are marked with zigzag lines of dark brown. The rear wings are lighter, being almost transparent at the base, darker at the front, and marked across the free end with a row of five or six small, indistinct dusky spots.
The eggs are laid in masses of 20 to 30 on the undersides of leaves of cole crops. They are light yellow and semitransparent and overlap one another as shingles on a roof.
When first hatched, the larvae are gray. When full grown, they are about three-fifths of an inch long and have numerous horizontal black stripes across bluish-gray backs. Along each side of the back is a longitudinal black stripe and below that, a bright yellow stripe. The underside of the body is light green, mottled with yellow.
Cross-striped cabbageworms prefer the tender terminal buds and the heads of cole crop plants and riddle them with holes. Eggs are laid in clusters, and large numbers of the larvae hatch on individual plants scattered over a field.
The larvae enter the soil and pupate just below the soil surface in a tight cocoon. The pupae are about one-half inch long and light yellowish brown to dark brown.
Treatments made for other caterpillars generally keep these pests in check.
Diamondback moths are gray about one-third inch long, and have a wingspread of less than one inch. The males have three light yellow diamond-shaped markings on their wings. The moths move rapidly when disturbed. They fly short distances from plant to plant during the daytime.
The moths lay eggs singly or in groups of two or three on the leaves. Eggs are small, nearly round and yellowish white.
The larvae are light green and pointed at each end. Their bodies are covered by tiny, erect black hairs. When mature they are about one-third inch long. They wiggle rapidly when disturbed, often dropping from the plant and hanging by silk-like threads. The larvae feed on all parts of the plant but prefer places around the bud of a young plant, crevices between loose leaves of a firm head, and the undersides of wrapper leaves. Larvae will often not eat completely through the leaf, leaving tiny "windows" of thin foliage. Their feeding may disfigure the bud of a young plant so that the marketable portion will not develop properly.
The light tan one-fourth inch long pupae are encased in loosely woven gauze-like cocoons and are fastened to the leaves of the host plant or in crevices near the bud.
After cupping (early head formation), apply insecticides when there is an average of one larva or one new hole per 10 plants.
The imported cabbageworm is the larva of a yellowish-white butterfly. The butterflies have several black spots on their wings and a wingspread of about one inch. They fly around cabbage plants during the day.
The butterflies lay eggs singly on either side of the leaves. Eggs are yellow, oblong, bluntly pointed at the ends, deeply ridged lengthwise and attached to the leaf by one end.
The larvae are velvety green. They have a narrow orange stripe down the middle of the back and a yellowish stripe along each side of the body. When mature, larvae are about 1 1/4 inches long. Larvae are sluggish when disturbed.
The pupae may be green, gray green or tan. They have sharp angular projections in front and along the back and a tough covering. They are attached by a thread resembling silk to a host plant leaf or to some other object in the field.
Imported cabbageworm damage is similar to cabbage looper injury. Imported cabbageworms feed near the center of plants and do more damage to the marketable portions. They do not restrict themselves to interveinal areas, but chew through leaves indiscriminately.
After cupping (early head formation), apply insecticides when there is an average of one larva or one new hole per 10 plants.
Plants attacked by the cabbage maggot appear sickly, off color, and stunted. If the attack is severe, they wilt suddenly during the heat of the day and die. Cabbage roots show brownish grooves over their surface and slimy winding channels running through the flesh. Many of the small fibrous roots are eaten off. Larvae are legless white maggots, from one-fourth to one-third inch long, blunt at the rear end and pointed in front, and are often found in these borrows. Early cabbage after transplanting and late cabbage while still in the seedbed are most severely injured.
This insect goes through the winter chiefly as a pupa in a hard brown egg-shaped puparium, about one-fourth inch long, buried from one to five inches in the soil. The adult is a fly similar in general appearance to the common house fly but only about half as long (one-fourth inch long). They are dark ashy gray with black stripes on the thorax and many black bristles over the body. The cells of the wing that open nearest to its tip are both wide open at the margin.
Flies are attracted to fields which are high in decomposing organic matter, i.e., fields recently turned, new ground, weedy areas or fields recently treated with postemergence herbicides. Any rotting vegetation is likely to attract flies. As flies enter a field, they fly about close to the ground and deposit their small white, finely ridged eggs on the plants near where the stem meets the ground or in cracks and crevices in the soil.
The eggs hatch in three to seven days and the very small maggots promptly seek the roots and eat into them. Each larva feeds for three to four weeks, and the roots often become riddled with their tunnels. The larva has at the blunt rear end 12 short, pointed, fleshy processes arranged in a circle around the two button-like spiracles. The two processes nearest the middle line below are double-pointed.
When the maggots are abundant, underground parts of the plants soon become honeycombed and rot. Over 125 maggots have been taken from the roots of a single plant. When mature, larva may pupate in its burrow, but more generally crawl away from the root into the soil a short distance and there forms its puparium. Two or three weeks later, on the average, adults break out of the puparium and may push up through the soil from a depth of six inches or more. Some of these puparia of the first generation remain until the following spring, but most of them transform into adults in late June and July. They lay eggs upon late cabbage and other plants. The injury from this second generation during dry midsummer weather is not severe, because the insect requires cool, moist weather and succulent plants in which to thrive. Enough transform, however, to produce a partial third generation in autumn when they are sometimes very destructive to fall plantings.
The cabbage maggot can be controlled by both cultural and chemical means. Any cultural practice which will reduce the decaying organic matter content of soil will reduce the chances of an infestation becoming established. Any crop residue (small grains in spring or field corn stubble, peanuts, etc. in the fall) can attract flies. If possible, turn small grain fields or other fields with a significant amount of crop residue four to six weeks before planting. This allows sufficient time for rotting of vegetation and may reduce the need for an insecticide treatment.
Postemergence herbicides also contribute to cabbage maggot problems. Weedy fields where postemergence herbicide treatments are used often become infested with maggots as dead weeds decompose. Inspect these fields daily for flies and maggots a couple of weeks after herbicide use.
The harlequin bug is a flat, shield-shaped stink bug (3/8 inch long) with red-and-black spotted markings, on its back. The nymphs have the same markings, but are smaller and more round. The eggs stand on end in double rows and appear as tiny white kegs with black hoops.
The harlequin bug can cause serious damage to crucifers and other vegetable crops.
Both the adult and nymph suck sap from the collard/cabbage plant causing it to wilt, turn brown and die. Younger plants are more susceptible to the feeding. Larger plants can withstand higher populations but show reduced growth and yellowing.
All of the caterpillars infesting cole crops can be effectively controlled using one of the Bacillus thuringiensis products such as Dipel®, or several other trade names. Aphids may be controlled using a systemic insecticide, or a commercially prepared insecticidal soap product. Read and follow all label directions on recommended pesticides.

Author Notes:
Sweet potatoes typically pair with cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. So the Indian spice mix called garam masala ('warm spices'), which uses these plus a few others (usually cardamom, black pepper and cumin), is a logical next step.
Sweet potatoes typically pair with cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. So the Indian spice mix called garam masala ('warm spices'), which uses these plus a few others (usually cardamom, black pepper and cumin), is a logical next step.—zora
Serves: 4
sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
Vegetable oil
small yellow onion
tablespoon grated fresh ginger
tablespoons ghee (Indian clarified butter)
small dried red chilies
teaspoons whole cumin seeds
teaspoons whole coriander seeds
teaspoons garam masala
In This Recipe
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Peel sweet potatoes and slice into 1-inch-thick rounds. Lay out on baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in oven and roast until browned and soft, about 30 minutes.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, slice the onion into thin half-rings and peel and grate the ginger.
- Heat the ghee in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and the ginger paste (the ghee will spatter—stand back) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, not browned.
- When the onions are tender, either remove the onion-ginger mix from the pan or push it off to one side. Turn the heat up to high and add the chilis. Stir and fry until just darkened, about 5 seconds. Add the cumin and coriander seeds. Stir and fry just until fragrant, about 5 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the garam masala.
- When the sweet potatoes are finished roasting, place them in a shallow serving dish. Drizzle the ghee with the onions and spices over the potatoes, garnishing with the red chilis (they're not really meant to be eaten). Serve promptly, before the ghee cools.
- Notes: The exact proportions and ingredients of garam masala vary; if you can get a freshly ground mix from a good source, use it. But you can also make your own--I like 1 teaspoon each cardamom, cumin, cloves and black pepper, plus a stick of cinnamon and about half a nutmeg. For ghee, you can also buy this premade, or you can make your own by simmering a pound of butter in a heavy saucepan for about an hour, then straining out the solids. Stored in a clean jar in the fridge, it lasts several months.
