Lennon not concerned over surface
Neil Lennon played down the possible impact the Luzhniki Stadium's artificial surface might have on Celtic's chances in tonight's Champions League Group G clash with Spartak Moscow.
Only skipper Scott Brown remains from the Parkhead team which drew 1-1 at the venue against the Russian side in a Champions League play-off match in 2007. In August, Lennon's charges beat HJK Helsinki 2-0 on plastic in the second leg of their Champions League qualifier to go through 4-1 on aggregate and the Hoops boss believes that will have encouraged his players.
However, he also admits his tactics and personnel tonight may depend on exactly how the surface is playing, and he said: "I don't think that (pitch) is going to be a problem. We played on one in Helsinki and that experience will benefit us going into the game."
He added: "It doesn't look to me as if it is a quick pitch and so it may adapt our thinking as to how we are going to play. But it shouldn't be a major problem, artificial pitches at this level are normally excellent."
Spartak are looking for their first points after losing 3-2 away to Barcelona in their opening game as the Scottish champions played out a goalless home draw against Benfica.
Lennon believes his side go into the game as underdogs but is confident of getting a positive result.
He said: "Russian football is certainly stronger (than Scottish). There are some big clubs here in Moscow alone and you have Anzhi Makhachkala who are ploughing a lot of money into the game as well.
"In terms of finances, there are just no comparisons, but it is all about on the night. If we can get a foothold in the game we can be a handful for anyone.
"I think this team is growing as we go along and there is a confidence about them but we are going to have to be at our very best if we are going to get anything out of our game."

12.08.12 - Friday workout
by, December 8th, 2012 at 09:39 AM (688 Views)
Swam w/ Dave, Dave, Bob and a couple others at HSA. Had a surreal swim experience today. We were about 3500 yards into the workout doing 11 100s on 1:20. I had just started descending my pace for the last 5. Suddenly, a ring goes off like from a phone in an old black and white movie. It literally sounds like it is coming from the center of my head. I look around for a phone and then realize I'm still in a swimming pool. The ring stops so I assume that I just heard something the wrong way or maybe the current song being played on the sound system has a phone ring it in. I got a grip back on my sanity and kept pushing forward. A few seconds later, it rings again... and again. It is clearly a telephone and it is coming from inside my head. Now I'm starting to think I'm still asleep and dreaming that I'm at swim practice. But for a dream, things seemed awfully real. And usually when I dream about swimming the people swimming with me typically aren't my teammates. So, then I theorize that maybe I'm swimming too hard and I'm having some sort of hallucination. Suddenly, the rings just quit. After the interval, Dave said he heard the same thing. He had stopped temporarily because he though something was going wrong. We look up to see the coach ending a conversation on her cell phone. Apparently, another coach had called her a few minutes prior to make sure she opened the pool up for the masters. Her ring tone was set to and old phone sound and somehow the acoustics of the Nat were projecting the sound straight into our heads. Bizarre but at least I know I'm not going crazy.

When a film says "inspired by a true story" what you usually can expect is a diluted Hollywood version of a true story, and there is plenty of manipulated fiction in the new family film "Dolphin Tale." But guess what? It doesn't matter. The central crux of the story and the film's marine mammal star, an adorable dolphin named Winter, are all real enough and are guaranteed to tug at the heart strings.
Back in December 2005 a fisherman in Florida found a baby dolphin entangled in the ropes of a crab trap, which had severely cut the circulation to her tail. She was transported to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in critical condition and she eventually lost her tail. With 24 hours, TLC Winter (the name they gave her) miraculously survived and learned to swim on her own, eventually with the help of a prosthetic tail that was developed especially for her unique situation.
Winter became a media darling and to this day is the star attraction of the Aquarium, becoming an inspiring symbol to children, adults and returning vets with disabilities.
The story is already a tailor-made film with loads of kid appeal, but just to make sure, the filmmakers (who also made the recent uplifting Sandra Bullock hit, "The Blind Side" ) have sweetened the deal with a great charismatic cast (including Morgan Freeman and Harry Connick Jr.) and a plot line that centers on a troubled boy, Sawyer (Nathan Gamble), who finds hope in his empathetic connection with the amazing mammal.
When we meet Sawyer he is withdrawn, doing badly at school and has no friends. His mom (played by Ashley Judd) can't seem to muster any enthusiasm in her child, who is still reeling from the sudden departure of his dad. When he happens upon the distressed dolphin on a beach his life begins to change.
After Sawyer sneaks into the Marine hospital to see how she is progressing he is quickly embraced by the friendly staff — a benevolent marine veterinarian, Dr. Clay Haskett (Connick Jr.), his rambunctious daughter, Hazel (newcomer Cozi Zuehlsdorff) and Clay's crusty old dad (played by Kris Kristofferson). Freeman plays the agreeable doctor working at a nearby V.A. Hospital who takes on the task of designing Winter's prosthetic.
While there is no doubt of a happy ending to this tale, there is still plenty of drama thrown in: Winter refuses early prototypes of her tail, a hurricane threatens to destroy the hospital and financial ruin may mean they can no longer look after the dolphin.
But the focus of the film is undoubtedly Winter. Apart from an animatronic version used for her rescue scene and some minimal CGI, she plays herself. Her affinity to people makes her the perfect animal star, and you would swear she knew those cameras were on her. The film is showing in the ubiquitous 3D as well as 2D, but apart from the opening sea sequences of dolphins swimming, there really is no need to spend the extra cash to see this in 3D. It plays just fine in 2D.
"Dolphin Tale" may be a formula Hollywood film, but this is a formula that definitely works, and when they switch to real news footage at the end depicting Winter's real rescue and showing the kids and returning vets that are her constant visitors at the Aquarium, even the most hardened cynic couldn't possibly leave the cinema with a dry eye.

Right now once Brunt, Wallace and Cassidy leave, I'd want to relieve Akins of his position. He has made some useful contributions this season, especially getting 2 in a mtch earlier in the season, but he is not consistent or potent enough for me.
Strikers / Wingers I wouldn't mind coming on free transfer or season long loans right now would be Cassidy, Lateef, Gary Twigg, Baxter, (long shot), Clinton Morrison, John Sutton, (Hearts, a cheap deal based on their I think still uncertain circumstances), Jordan Slew and a.n.others.
Linwood still there but doesnt play much in first team. Jamie Mcguire also there scoring lots of goals from midfield.

Italian Police Escort Migrant Boat
An Italian charity ship was escorted into the port of Lampedusa by police on Tuesday after rescuing 49 Africans in the Mediterranean, with Interior Minister Matteo Salvini calling for the crew to be arrested.A judicial source said a magistrate had ordered that the boat, the Mare Jonio, be seized as an investigation is launched into allegations of aiding and abetting human trafficking.The vessel picked up the migrants, including 12 minors, on Monday after their rubber boat started to sink in the central Mediterranean, some 42 miles (68 km) off the coast of Libya.

Marine Hybrid quietly arrives … positioned to explode
Hybrid is not only here, it is growing, and with that growth it will soon reach far beyond coastal applications.For those who were around for the arrival of Y2K, you will remember the anticipation, preparation and perspiration as the maritime world waited for the failure of communications, navigation, security and machinery associated with the digital change of the clock. The forecasts, now historical urban legend, left the world without a digital catastrophe.We wait now for 2020 and the advent of the IMO maritime emissions regulations.
Shipyard Fire at Meyer Turku
A fire broke out on board a cruise ship currently being built at Finland's Meyer Turku Shipyard, the shipbuilder said on Monday.Welding operations reportedly sparked a fire to stored equipment on deck 15 inside the Costa Smeralda at approximately 4:45 p.m. local time, forcing workers to evacuate the vessel, the shipbuilder said.The shipyard's firefighters were the first on scene and started firefighting measures, followed shortly after by local responders. The blaze was extinguished quickly and work on board was able to resume by 6:15 p.m. local time.Meyer Turku said approximately 10 people have inhaled small amounts of smoke and two people have been examined for minor injuries.
The Future: Autonomous Robotic Hull Grooming
Ship hull biofouling has significant impacts on fleet readiness, ship performance, cost, and the environment. Biofouling results in increased hydrodynamic drag which results in greater fuel use and greater emissions per distance traveled than a hydraulically-smooth hull. A study by Schultz, et al. found the typical fouling rating (FR) of a US Navy DDG-51 class vessel, FR-30, increases fuel consumption by 10.3% over a hydraulically-smooth DDG-51. Results showed that reducing this fouling rating to FR-20 would lead to savings of $340K per ship and more than double that when the hull was kept at a fouling rating of FR-10, saving the US Navy nearly $800K per hull annually.

Again, it all comes down to you assuming that team skill/number of players = player skill.
This isn't quite what I'm assuming (though if you amend it to *average* player skill, it is correct). I'm assuming that team skill is equal to the sum of the individual players skills.
Is this a good assumption for WoW Battlegrounds? I think it is. For example, if Alice and Beth beat Joe and Harry, but Beth and Carol lose to Joe and Harry, we can infer that Alice is more skilled than Carol. That seems like a reasonable result to me.
Now, there are other games where this assumption does not hold. For example, you could have a game where team skill is equal to the skill of the worst player. Is this a good model for BGs? I do not think so, because it implies that a team with 14 people will always lose to a team of 15 people. (The missing person is essentially a player with zero skill.) And this is not true for BGs. A team with 14 people is at a disadvantage, but the skill of the remaining players can make up for it. So this model is not good.
How about the opposite model? Is team skill equal to the skill of the best player in the Battleground? Again, I don't think this model holds, because it would imply that in a 1v15 match, if the one person was slightly better than each player on the 15-man team, she would win. And I don't think this is true in BGs. The most likely result is that the one person is going to lose, regardless of her skill.
So I think it's pretty clear that team skill in BGs is some combination of the skills of the individual players. And that means that we can infer individual skill by looking at how different teams with that individual perform. Which is what a system like TrueSkill™ does.
Is this model 100% accurate? No. For one thing we occasionally see teams which are greater or less than the sum of their individual parts. A classic example is the 2004 USA Olympic Men's Basketball Team. But for the most part, the model is pretty accurate, especially when players change teams reasonably often, as is the case with WoW Battlegrounds.
As an aside, I think a more accurate model of team skill would be to say that each pair of players on a team has a bond, and that bond may have some skill, positive or negative, associated with it. Two players may play especially well with each other, or two players may play poorly with each other. Then team skill becomes the sum of the skill of the individual players plus the sum of the skill of all bonds formed. In graph theory terms, under the first model only the vertices in a team have weights, but in the second model, some of the weight of the vertices shifts to the edges in the graph.
And individual skill in my first model is not just individual skill, but individual skill plus the sum of the skills in all bonds with that player multiplied by the probability of each bond occurring. But the first model, where only the vertices have weight, is a *lot* easier to deal with, and is probably accurate enough for the purpose of PvP ranks.

March 13, 2007
When the initial lap is taken for the March 23 Relay for Life at Wabash College's Knowling Fieldhouse, there's more to it than just a charity kickoff. Most everyone involved with the cancer research fund-raiser has been hit in one way or another personally by a cancerous disease.
Registration for this year's local event, with the theme "Spring for a Cure," is 5-6 p.m. the day of, or by calling relay chair Ruthanna Williamson at 765-362-2437 or 765-376-4015. Laps will begin at 6 p.m. with the cancer survivors taking the opening lap. Teams then follow. For those struck by cancer themselves or those who have witnessed friends and family members go through it, it's an emotional time.
Kim Johnson of Athens Medical Group still vividly remembers her mother, Kathy Carter, making her way around for the survivor lap just days after her chemo treatment. Carter is now spearheading a Montgomery County Relay for Life first — the Miss Relay pageant.
All teams are encouraged to enter the contest and there is no limit to the number of contestants per team, although all entries should be male. Each contestant will be introduced to the Relay crowd and should have a purse to collect Relay donations. The winner will be the one who receives the most donations. Those interested in entering can contact Carter at 362-4700.
Johnson's also been on the opposite end of the spectrum, watching her grandfather fail in his fight against lung cancer. That's helped lead to her participation in the event with her Athens team, which last year had the most participants of any team. The team has already begun building its army for 2007, compiling more than 30, with an expected 60-plus eventually joining the crew.
"It's a very helpless feeling to not be able to do something to make them better," Johnson said. "This is one way I feel I can do something. Working in the medical field, all of our employees work with cancer patients everyday."
Another way to show support is by purchasing a pin wheel or a luminaria. Pin wheels are sold for a cancer survivor and a luminaria is in memory of someone. A $10 minimum donation is required for each. They can be purchased by sending payment to: Karla Vaught, Luminaria Chair, 93 N. Sugar Cliff Dr., Crawfordsville, IN 47933.
A luminaria lighting ceremony will be at 9 p.m. with the names of those honored inscribed on each bag.
"The Relay for Life is a showcase event for our community," said Jim Amidon, Wabash Director of Public Affairs, who is also a cancer survivor. "It brings together people from all walks of life, all of who are united in this goal of wiping out cancer."
Norvell's BBQ and College Street Deli provide food and entertainment also takes place during the event. The Crawfordsville High School dance team will sell walking tacos. The team will also dance as part of the entertainment, along with singing from Wabash graduate Howard Bailey, Tina Steele, a duet by Stephanie Poole and Kelly Maxwell and music from the band Saharan Drench. Great Clips will also give free haircuts for a donation to the organization.
The 11th annual Montgomery County Relay continues to draw more because newcomers are struck with cancer and learn of the Relay. Until diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2000, Amidon didn't know what Relay for Life was. He was invited to Parke County's Relay event and is now actively involved in Crawfordsville. Like Amidon, other cancer survivors and patients learn they aren't alone when seeing turnout for the event.
"People are there from age 2 to 90 who are cancer survivors, that's a powerful statement that cancer can be beat," Amidon said.

"The Internship" got bossed around at the box office this weekend, as the film starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn appealed to far fewer moviegoers than the low-budget thriller "The Purge."
Made on a micro-budget of just $3 million, "The Purge" debuted at No. 1 with a robust $36.4 million, according to an estimate from distributor Universal Pictures. The more high-profile $58-million comedy started with $18.1 million — only good enough for fourth place behind holdovers "Fast & Furious 6" and "Now You See Me." (Both new films opened late Thursday, and ticket sales from that evening are included in the weekend gross for each.)
Heading into the weekend, pre-release audience surveys indicated "The Purge" would launch with around $25 million. But the industry underestimated interest in the film starring Ethan Hawke, which centers on a lone night of violence in a world otherwise free of crime.
PHOTOS: Billion-dollar movie club
The movie was driven to the top box-office spot by a young female crowd, as women made up 56% of the opening-weekend audience — 56% of whom were under the age of 25. "The Purge" also appealed to a diverse group: About 33% of its audience was Latino.
Those who saw the movie this weekend assigned it an average grade of C, according to market research firm CinemaScore, but scary films typically receive poor CinemaScores and aren't as susceptible to word-of-mouth. Last year, for instance, the horror film "Mama" went on to gross $71.6 million after earning a B- CinemaScore.
It was a good weekend at the multiplex for Hawke, who is not only having success with "The Purge" but his independent romance "Before Midnight" as well. After three weekends playing in fewer than 100 locations, the third entry in the Richard Linklater-directed series has already collected $1.5 million. "The Purge," meanwhile, is now Hawke's biggest opening ever — not adjusting for inflation — beating the $22.6-million debut of his 2001 crime drama "Training Day."
Though Hawke is a well-known actor, in the past he has been unable to open a movie like Vaughn or Wilson, formerly two of Hollywood's most reliable box-office comedy draws. This is the second weekend in a row that brand names have proven unimpressive to audiences, following the embarrassing loss of Will Smith's "After Earth" to "Now You See Me," a crime thriller featuring an ensemble cast.
"The new and different themed films seem to me to be captivating audiences. 'Now You See Me' wasn't the average film," said Nikki Rocco, Universal's president of domestic distribution. "'Plus, because of social media, when a film isn't great it suffers because word-of-mouth spreads more quickly."
Like "After Earth," the Wilson-Vaughn comedy was not embraced by critics, though moviegoers this weekend seemed to like it, assigning "The Internship" a B+ CinemaScore. The movie, about two middle-aged men who decide to intern at Google, attracted both females and males in equal measure but proved more alluring to an older crowd. About 61% of the opening weekend audience was over the age of 25.
Though "The Internship" beat tracking by about $3 million, the film was still unable to replicate the success of "Wedding Crashers." That 2005 comedy marked the first major hit for the comedic duo, grossing $285 million worldwide.
But Chris Aronson, president of domestic distribution for 20th Century Fox — which released the movie — said he believes the two films were made for different audiences.
"'Wedding Crashers' was a raucous, R-rated comedy, and it was hugely successful, but it wasn't for everyone," he said. "'The Internship' is a different kind of movie. It's PG-13 and rooted in contemporary themes, and I think in the weeks to come we'll see it appealing to people both over and under 25."
Though Aronson views the debut of "The Internship" as a success, even he acknowledged the challenge studios face in relying on star power to open a film.
"It certainly helps to have a brand name," he said, "because there is bankability in recognizability from the consumer standpoint. But it's just not bulletproof anymore."

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- A skirmish between ethnic rivals, a half-naked streaker and an upset of Ana Ivanovic combined for an extraordinary Friday at the Australian Open.
A woman was injured and two men arrested for riotous behavior when Serbian and Bosnian fans threw chairs outside Rod Laver Arena following a match between defending champion Novak Djokovic and Bosnian-born American Amer Delic.
Police said about 30 fans were ejected from Melbourne Park.
Djokovic, a 21-year-old Serb, won the spirited but good-natured match 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4). But as the players hugged at the net, the first of dozens of chairs flew on the lawn near a big-screen TV showing the match.
"There's absolutely no place for that. This is a tennis match," said Delic, who moved from Bosnia at 14 and lives in Jacksonville, Fla. "As I'm sure you all saw at the end, Novak and I are friends. We're both competitors. In the end it was a fair match, and there was no reason for such things."
Earlier Friday, a streaker dashed on court while Venus and Serena Williams played doubles, prancing around before being arrested.
The Williams sisters were en route to a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Japan's Ayumi Morita and Germany's Martina Muller when the man, wearing only a shirt, sprinted across the sidelines and made several dance moves before heading toward an exit.
He was met by security guards, arrested and banned for the event. He was not immediately identified.
Ivanovic's hopes of a return trip to the final fell apart in a barrage of mistakes, losing to Alisa Kleybanova 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-2. Ivanovic was pressured by the 19-year-old Russian's aggressive style. The fifth-ranked Ivanovic lost her serve nine times and finished with 50 unforced errors to only 23 winners.
Ivanovic, a 21-year-old Serb who has relatives in Melbourne, was appalled by the violence.
"Sport is a great thing to bring people together," she said. "I'm very sad to see these things happening."
The afternoon violence also overshadowed the night match between second-ranked Roger Federer and former No. 1 Marat Safin. The Swiss star won 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (5).
"Terribly disappointing," Federer said of the fan conflict. "Fans, 99.9 percent of the time, are always great. Then you have some people who carry it outside of the tennis courts, lose their minds. It's unfortunate."
Tennis Australia chief executive Steve Wood released a statement saying police and security adequately handled the fan clash.
Victoria state police Inspector Chris Duthie said the fighting was allegedly sparked when one group threw a tennis ball at another. Security officers and police quelled the fight within minutes.
Two years ago, police ejected 150 people after similar violent clashes involving people of Balkan heritage at Melbourne Park.
Before finally asking reporters to change the subject, Djokovic lamented that players can't control their fans. Delic had earlier used his Web site to ask his backers, who were boisterous to the point of disruption in the qualifier's first two matches, to tone it down.
Djokovic next plays 2006 runner-up Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus, who beat No. 23 American Mardy Fish 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. Baghdatis is unseeded and ranked 97th after playing in only 12 tournaments last year because of wrist and back injuries.
Andy Roddick had a 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 win over Fabrice Santoro, who may have played his last Australian Open. Roddick produced 22 aces against Santoro and next plays Tommy Robredo of Spain.
In other matches, No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina extended his winning streak to seven matches, and No. 19 Marin Cilic of Croatia ousted No. 11 David Ferrer of Spain.
On the women's side, Olympic silver medalist Dinara Safina beat No. 25 Kaia Kanepi of Estonia. Fellow Russians Vera Zvonareva, seeded seventh, and No. 10 Nadia Petrova are also in the fourth round.
Federer looked dominant in pursuit of a 14th Grand Slam title that would tie Pete Sampras' record. He'd have preferred to talk more about Safin's game, likely the mercurial Russian's last at the Australian Open.
Instead, the questions went back to the fan violence.
"It's not what's supposed to happen," Federer said. "I think we set an example as players, and the fans should follow. This tournament works so hard all year long to make up a good event. I call it the 'Happy Slam.' Then you come here and you see these scenes."

Dracena, or basically the group of swedish Mia Larsson and her companions in turn, started in 1994. In fact today, almost fifteen years later, she keeps the name of Dracena herself.
Country: Sweden
History: 1994 – Currently
Status: Active
Style: Thrash/Death Metal
Dracena, or basically the group of swedish Mia Larsson and her companions in turn, started in 1994. In fact today, almost fifteen years later, she keeps the name of Dracena herself.
Hes music mixes the classic metal guitars with the power of the thrash, and death reminiscences with the voices of Mia giving a black metal touch. A bit of everything mixed with quality. Dracena is undoubtedly one of the most recommendable of the bands I mention in this site.
It started as an all-female band, with the rest of instrumentists without having much knowledge of music, until in 1998 Runemagick's drummer Niclas Rudolfsson joined the lineup.
Before that, Dracena issued its first non-official demo, with only 100 tape copies, which included 3 own songs and a version of Venom, "In League With Satan." But it was not until 1998 that they published its first official demo entitled "Demonic Women".
Due to formation changes, this demo was not released until spring of 99 with the following lineup: Mia (vocals and guitar), Emma (guitar), Asa (bass) and Terror (drums). It consists of three tracks ( "Demonic Women", "In The Shadow Of The Dragon" and "Hounds Of Hell"), issued in red vinyl 7 ".
Dracena released yet another demo, "Labyrinth of Darkness" in 2001, but it was not until 2006 that they finally released an album, "Infernal Damnation", with Mia working alone, aided by the drummer Mojjo, and self-produced as she didn't find a a label to support it.
But Mia does not surrender, and in her Myspace site announced that she is preparing a new album.
Mia Larsson – Vocals, guitar, bass
Former members:
Emma Karlsson – Guitar
Karin – Drums
Lotta – Guitar
Åsa – Bass
Dennis Jernberg – Drums
Daniel 'Morbid Mojjo' Moilanen – Drums
Camilla – Bass
Niklas "Terror"Rudolfsson – Session drums in "Demonic Women"
1997, Demo ´97 (demo)
1999, Demonic Women (EP)
2001, Labyrinth Of Darkness (demo)
2004, Infernal Damnation (LP)

Insect Pests of Cucurbits
The spotted, striped, and banded cucumber beetles are very injurious to cucurbits, particularly young plants. Beetles commence feeding on plants as soon as they emerge and either kill the plants or greatly retard growth. In cucurbit plantings throughout South Carolina, beetles have been observed entering the soil through cracks and feeding on seedlings below the soil surface. Beetles are present throughout the growing season and feed on all parts of the plant including the flowers and fruit.
Cucumber beetles also transmit bacterial wilt of cucurbits. This disease overwinters in the intestines of the beetles and is scattered from plant to plant and field to field as the beetles feed. Infected plants eventually wilt and die. In addition to carrying bacterial wilt, cucumber beetles aid in the transmission of cucumber mosaic. Cucumber beetle larvae feed on the roots and bore into both roots and stems of cucumber plants.
The yellowish green adult spotted cucumber beetle has 11 black spots and a black head with black antennae. The yellowish white larvae have brown heads and are three-fourths inch long when grown.
The yellow adult striped cucumber beetle is about one-fifth inch long with three longitudinal black stripes on the top wings. The whitish larvae are about one-third inch when grown.
The adult banded cucumber beetle is yellowish green with three bright green stripes or bands running across the wing covers.
Spider mites can be a serious problem on cucurbits, especially watermelons and cantaloupes, during hot, dry weather. These minute mites feed on the contents of individual cells of the leaves. This damage appears as pale yellow and reddish-brown spots ranging from small specks to large areas on the upper sides of leaves. Damage can develop very quickly, and the mites can kill or seriously stunt the growth of plants. Because of their small size, spider mites are hard to detect until vines are damaged with hundreds of mites on each leaf. Certain insecticides applied at planting or as a foliar spray for insect control apparently contribute to severe outbreaks on melons by killing natural enemies.
Melon aphids and several other aphid species attack cucurbits, particularly melons and cucumbers. Melon aphids vary in size and color from light yellow, green to black. Some are winged, while others are wingless. They are found chiefly on the underside of the leaves, where they suck the sap from the plants and cause a reduction in the quality and quantity of the fruit. Infested leaves curl downward and may turn brown and die. The melon aphid also is one of the chief agents in transmitting cucumber mosaic. Cucurbits usually are not attacked by aphids until the vines form runners, and then infestations commonly begin in small scattered spots over the field. Consider natural controls when making a treatment decision. Beneficial insects are extremely important in keeping aphid populations in check. Infestations usually are higher in hot, dry summers, following cool, dry springs, which have reduced the efficiency of the natural enemies.
The squash bug is one of the most common and troublesome pests in the home vegetable garden. Squash plants frequently are killed by this sap-feeding pest. Leaves of plants attacked by the bugs may wilt rapidly and become brittle. Winter varieties of squash, such as Hubbard and Marrows, are much more severely damaged by the squash bug than other varieties. Control is required for commercial plantings, as well as to protect squash in the home garden.
The adult squash bug is rather large, brownish-black, and flat-backed. It is about five-eights inch long and approximately one-third as wide. The young, called nymphs, are whitish to greenish-gray, with black legs, and vary in size from tiny, spider-like individuals when first hatched, to maturing nymphs which are nearly as large as the winged adults.
The squash bug is secretive in habits. Adults and nymphs may be found clustered about the crown of the plant, beneath damaged leaves, and under clods or any other protective ground cover. They scamper for cover when disturbed. The secretive nature of squash bugs can be used to your advantage in controlling these pests. Place a small, square piece of old shingle or heavy cardboard under each squash plant. As bugs congregate under it for protection, simply lift the "trap" and smash them with your hoe (or shoe).
Unmated adult squash bugs seek fall shelter wherever it may be found. In spring, they usually are active by the time squash plants begin to run. Following feeding and mating, egg laying soon begins. The yellowish-brown to brick-red eggs are laid in groups or clusters, usually on the lower side of leaves in angles formed by the veins. Egg laying continues until mid-summer by females which survived the winter. Only one generation of bugs develops each year. New adults do not mate until the following spring.
The squash vine borer ranges from Canada to Argentina and is the most serious enemy of squashes and gourds. It causes much trouble where only a few plants are grown in gardens. It rarely attacks cucumbers and melons. Great variations exist in the susceptibility of squash and pumpkin varieties. Butternut and Green-Striped Cushaw varieties are practically immune to attack, but Hubbard squash is highly susceptible.
Damage is caused by larvae tunneling into stems, often killing plants, especially when they are feeding in the basal portions of vines. Sometimes fruits are also attacked. Sudden wilting of a vine and sawdust like excrement coming from holes in the stem are evidences of attack.
The adult is one of the moths known as "clear wings" because the hind wings are almost without scales. It is 11/2 inches in wing expanse, and metallic green-black in color; hind legs are fringed with black and orange hairs, and markings of similar color occur over much of the abdomen. The moths are day fliers and are often mistaken for wasps. Larvae are white, heavy-bodied, and considerably over one inch long when fully grown.
The insect winters in soil as a larva or pupa enclosed in a cocoon. Moths emerge in early summer and lay eggs on the stems of the plants, usually late May in the South. Upon hatching, larvae bore into vines and complete their development in four or more weeks, then leave the plant, crawl into the soil, spin a cocoon, and transform to a pupa. There are two generations in South Carolina.
The pickleworm severely damages cucumbers, cantaloupes and summer squash. It also feeds on other cucurbits, such as winter squash, watermelons and pumpkins, but usually does little damage.
Pickleworm damage occurs when the caterpillars tunnel in flowers, buds, stems and fruits. They prefer the fruits. Frass often protrudes from small holes in damaged fruits. At times, damaged fruits cannot be recognized until they are cut open. Damaged fruits are not edible. Flowers, buds, and sometimes entire plants may be killed.
In South Carolina, pickleworms starve or freeze to death during the winter. They overwinter in Florida however, and spread northward each spring. Severe damage usually does not occur before summer in South Carolina. Heavy populations generally do not build up before the first flower buds open, however, late crops may be destroyed before blossoming.
The pickleworm has complete metamorphosis, passing through four distinct stages (egg, larva, pupa and adult) during development.
Eggs are yellow, irregularly shaped, and resemble grains of sand. They are laid singularly or in small groups on leaves and hatch in three to four days.
Larvae feed first on buds, blossoms and tender terminals, but soon move to the fruits. These brown-headed caterpillars molt (shed their skin) four times before they become about three-fourths inch long and fully grown in 9 to 28 days. The body is yellowish-white at first, but many reddish-brown spots appear on the back after the first molt. After the last molt, the caterpillar loses its spots and becomes solid green or copper. Finally, the caterpillar stops feeding, becomes pink to pale green and spins a thin silk cocoon around itself, usually within a folded-over portion of a leaf where it pupates.
Pupae are light to dark brown and slightly more than three-fourths inch long. Pupae are usually found in a rolled leaf. However, they have been found inside cantaloupe and summer squash in rare instances. Adult usually emerges after 7 to 10 days.
Adults are brownish-yellow moths that have a rounded brush of hairs at the rear of the body. The brownish-yellow wings have a purplish sheen, translucent yellow-white centers and a spread of about one inch. Moths are active at night.
The squash beetle is one of two species of Coccinellidae known to occur in the United States which are not carnivorous, but phytophagous in nature. The squash beetle feeds upon the leaves of cucurbitaceous plants. The other species, the Mexican bean beetle (a close relative of the squash beetle), is a serious bean pest. All other lady beetles are carnivorous and beneficial, because they feed on injurious insects such as aphids and scale insects.
Cucumber beetles or squash beetles can effectively be controlled using an appropriate insecticide. For heavy populations of aphids, control using insecticide, or an insecticidal soap. Spider mites require a miticide. Apply miticide twice, 5-7 days apart for adequate control. For squash bugs, and vine borers and pickleworms after mid-June, apply insecticide weekly.

Three local businesses were recognized April 3, honoring persons and companies that help keep Kent County's economy humming.
Members of the Kent Economic Partnership held their annual dinner and awards presentation Wednesday night, honoring persons and companies that help keep Kent County's economy on the move.
The honorees included William H. Willis, president of the Willis Automotive Group, Byler's Stores and Kraft Foods of Dover.
It was an evening, noted WBOC-TV Vice President and General Manager Craig Jahelka, where one could imagine purchasing a new car at a Willis dealership and then using it to drive to a Byler's store in order to buy products made by Kraft Foods.
The Kent Economic Partnership is a not-for-profit economic development organization that serves all of Kent County, said the Partnerships Board Secretary Rose Wurzel.
The Partnership holds a dinner each year to recognize individuals, local corporations and small businesses that symbolize a strong commitment to economic development and to Kent County, Wurzel said.
William H. Willis, president of the Willis Automotive Group, was recognized for his continued efforts to improve the employment situation in Kent County through expansion of his automotive dealerships. Willis has continued to add to his business in recent years, despite the poor economy.
Byler's Stores was recognized for the company's small business spirit, exemplified by its continued growth and expansion since the business was founded by Joe and Amanda Byler in 1974. Byler began by selling groceries from his back porch, later expanding to his woodworking shop and then to the current building on Del. Route 8 and a newly established store in Harrington. The company employs approximately 150 people.
Kraft Foods came to Dover in 1964 with the consolidation of four other locations. At one time it was known for its chocolate production, and the aroma of chocolate coming from the plant is a fond memory for many Kent County residents. Today the plant occupies 121 acres in Dover, and the company recently announced it is bringing its unsweetened Kool-Aid business back to the city.

I am sure that posting will be light for the next few weeks because of the move. The imminent move. The frighteningly imminent move.
We need to be out of here by March 1, which means that we need to, uh, pack. Pack, and more importantly, discard whatever we're not taking with us, which is a lot. We've spent the last three years filling up this four-bedroom, two-floor-plus basement house, and we're somehow going to have to pare down our belongings to fit a 900-square-foot apartment. I don't really know how this feat is going to be accomplished, but I suspect several charities are going to get some very large bags full of our belongings, and several more of our neighbors will be bequeathed whatever's too big to stuff into bags.
Why is the idea of tossing away everything so exhilarating? Or is it just me? I like to buy crap just as much as the next consumer, and yet the idea of setting everything out on the curb fills me with glee. We have very few items that I'd feel sad about losing. I'm afraid that once I start shedding belongings I won't be able to stop. I'm going to be in the new place and realize that I gave away all my pants.
The new place! We have a new place! So, uh, I hope this house closing goes smoothly, because otherwise, whoops. We're renting in the heart of Park Slope, and I will officially be that most loathed of creatures—the Park Slope Mom. I intend to start pushing around a double-wide stroller, just for the hell of it. While walking slowly. And drinking a latte. And shouting at my imaginary daughter Finona not to run into traffic.

Liberty News
Noted pastor, radio host Alistair Begg visits
Alistair Begg, a pastor, author and host of the national radio program "Truth for Life," addressed students Friday morning at Liberty University's convocation.
This was Begg's first visit to Liberty. He will also be speaking at The Power to Change conference this weekend at Thomas Road Baptist Church.
"I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the warmth of the welcome, by the stature and size of the whole place, and I'm just looking forward to the rest of the day," Begg said after convocation.
Begg has been the pastor of Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio, since 1983. He graduated from the London School of Theology and has been involved in ministry since 1975.
After beginning his message with prayer, Begg encouraged students by reading from Ecclesiastes 12:1:
"Remember your creator in the days of your youth," and II Timothy 3:14: "But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it."
"I really just have one phrase to give to you today … 'keep on,'" he told them. " … I want to encourage you to keep on [being] convicted, convinced and communicating the truth."
His message focused on three questions he said all people ask themselves about the human experience: where do we come from, what are we, and where are we going. The answers are in the Bible, he said. We come from God and are created in His image. But we are people who can be described as fallen and fragile, because no part of our lives is unaffected by sin. As for where we are going, Begg emphasized how important it is for Christians to remember the reality of death and judgment in a culture obsessed with youth.
"It is a call to listen to what people are saying, it is a call to learn the questions people are asking, it is a call to think about what the Bible is saying, and then it is a call to talk into the lives of individuals who are asking these three questions."
- Listen to Begg on Liberty's radio station, WRVL "Victory FM" (at 88.3 in Lynchburg) daily at 3:30 p.m. His show can be heard on more than 1,000 radio stations across the nation.
- Begg is the author of several books, including "The Hand of God," "Pathway to Freedom," "On Being a Pastor" (with Derek Prime) and a revision of Spurgeon's devotional, "Morning and Evening."

This picture is darling! Takes me back to what felt like a more innocent time. But maybe all times have the capacity for the pure happiness I see in these faces! I love the glasses. I remember those glasses.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Mariann. The glasses, oh the glasses. You either love them (I do too) or hate them. LOL. And it was indeed a very happy time for them all.Delete
OMG Connie Beightler. I can't believe running into this old photo of Connie. She was a truly wonderful person. I am a long tome friend of Connie's daughters Jeannine and Brenda. I know this has to be same Connie. Her maiden name was Johnson. She had a brother they called Sarge in Chicago. Connie lived in Wisc for many yrs and then moved to Calif where she passed away in the 80s .Delete
Midhelle, yes, I'm sure that it's the same Connie. Her daughter Brenda still lives in California. If you'd like, I'd be happy to pass an email address along to her, if you provide it to me.Delete

text: Bruce, I am investigating the APC Infrastructure and Liebert XDH systems for a new small (1000 sqft). The benefits seem to outweigh the potential downsides. They include relatively easy n+1 capacity, tightly coupled cooling for efficiency, and containment to prevent air mixing. Virginia Tech has been using the Liebert XDV units as supplemental cooling for System X since it was installed. I believe that other top 100 installations are planned that will use the XDH. Infrastuxture seems to be good on a price for performance basis because the units are modular and generic. Mike Davis

F(ab')2 fragment antibodies are generated by pepsin digestion of whole IgG antibodies to remove most of the Fc region while leaving some of the hinge region. F(ab')2 fragments have two antigen-binding Fab portions linked together by disulfide bonds and therefore they are divalent. The average molecular weight is about 110 kDa. They are used for specific applications, such as to avoid binding of secondary antibodies to live cells with Fc receptors or to Protein A or Protein G.
Store freeze-dried powder at 2-8°C. When ready to use, rehydrate with indicated volume of d. water and centrifuge if not clear. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid. Prepare working dilution fresh each day. For extended storage after rehydration, add an equal volume of glycerol (ACS grade or better) for a final concentration of 50%, and store at -20°C as a liquid. Note: after the addition of glycerol, the concentration of protein and buffer salts is one-half of the original. Alternatively, aliquot and freeze the product at -70°C or below in the absence of glycerol. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. However, the expiration date may be extended if the product is stored according to the recommendation and the test results are acceptable for its intended use.
1:100 - 1:800 for most applications
Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
Alexa Fluor® 594-conjugated antibodies absorb light maximally around 591 nm and fluoresce with a peak around 614 nm. They are brighter, more photostable, and more hydrophilic than Texas Red conjugates. Alexa Fluor® 594 conjugates are brighter than red-fluorescing conjugates, and they provide more color separation from green-fluorescing dyes than DyLight 549, Cy3, and TRITC conjugates. They are the best choice for immunofluorescence detection in the deep-red region of the visible spectrum.

The Pulgas Water Temple is a stone structure in Woodside, California, USA, designed by architect William Merchant. It was erected by the San Francisco Water Department as a monument to the 1934 completion of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct and is located at the aqueduct's terminus. In 1938, the original water temple was replaced with the current design.
The water temple is made up of a number of fluted columns arranged in a circle, upon which a large stone masonry ring with the words "I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people " [from Isaiah 43:20] are inscribed. There is a large tree-lined reflecting pool to the east.
San Francisco and surrounding communities get water from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir approximately 160 miles away via the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct. Water once made the journey to the Pulgas Water Temple and flowed over a small C-shaped waterfall within the water temple itself where it continued approximately 800 feet down a canal to the west into Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir. Starting in 2004, water no longer flows through the temple, but instead is diverted to a nearby treatment plant where chloramine added at the Sunol treatment plant is removed. The retreated water then either enters the drinking water system after being chloraminated yet again at another plant or is stored as surplus in Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir.
The Bay Area is renowned for its natural beauty, affluence, diversity, and progressive thinking new age reputation. Lots of ammenities, tours and hotels can be found all around the area.San Francisco is the cultural and financial center of the Bay Area, and has the second highest population density of any major city in North America after New York City. It is also a major tourist destination, and transport and accommodation is plentiful, ranging from luxury hotels to cheap accommodation. San Jose is the largest city in terms of population, land area, and industrial development, and is the center of Silicon Valley, a well-known high technology region. Oakland is a major manufacturing and distribution center, rail terminus/hub, and has the fourth largest container shipping port in the United States.Largely because of San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the Bay Area presently ranks second only to the much larger New York City region in number of Fortune 500 company headquarters (April 2010 Fortune Magazine). source: wikipedia

Lickie Lea's Catering. http://www.lickieleas.com
My name is Penny Granville Smith, owner and sole trader of Lickie Lea's Catering. This is a small catering company that appeals mostly to private party clients, art galleries. I am particularly good at catering for vegetarian, vegan and wheat free dietry restrictions, and want this to be noted while not dominate the flair I have for many styles of catering.
The website is mostly a point of contact with examples of the menus. I am hoping to appeal to gallery owners, publishers, individuals for private events. I work on a relatively small scale delivering a bespoke service for a variety of occasions.
This stlye of catering works successfully with small weddings, art gallery openings, parties and product launches.
3-4 web pages:
page 1= Home page: title banner, introduction and contact details. A side banner containing canape link, buffet link and whole cake link and 1-3 photos
page 2 = Canape page: canape menu and 3-6 photos
page 3= Buffet page: buffet menu and 1 chocolate mousse photo

Blasphemy, heresy, stupidity, sacrilege, un-American, and downright irreverence. Go ahead, get all those words out of your system. I'll wait.
The default opinion of marketers, analysts, and the general population is that Harley-Davidson has one of the strongest brands in the United States, this being confirmed by the fact that every business student in America has studied Harley's marketing efforts if they've ever taken a brand management course. So why would I start a three-part series on how to fix Harley-Davidson by arguing to change one of the most revered marketing houses in the motorcycle industry?
Giving credit where credit is due, Harley-Davidson, or I should say its admirers in business school academia, wrote the book on demand generation marketing geared towards the baby-boomer generation. However, in defending this market position, Harley-Davidson has painted itself into a corner by only engaging a very small segment of the population with its product. Unless they redefine and reposition their company image and who it resonates with, Harley-Davidson is going to watch the continued erosion of its footing in the motorcycle industry, and also the continued deterioration of its only industry leading quality: its brand.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration extended by three months its review of Pfizer Inc's experimental rheumatoid arthritis treatment tofacitinib, one of the most promising new drugs in the company's pipeline.
In July, Pfizer disclosed that the FDA sought a "routine" analysis of clinical trial data for the drug that could delay a decision by three months or more beyond the agency's August 21 deadline.
If approved, the pill could offer a more convenient alternative to Abbott Laboratories Inc's $8 billion-a-year injectable medication Humira.
The FDA now views the additional analysis as a major amendment to Pfizer's application for approval, and set a new November 21 deadline for reviewing the drug, the company said on Tuesday. It did not give more details of the data analysis it provided.
Pfizer said it still believes trial results favor the drug's use, and is working with the FDA, as well as regulators in Europe, Japan and other countries, to bring it to market.
Rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease, affects about 1.6 million Americans and 23.7 million people worldwide, the company said.
Tofacitinib blocks signals that activate immune and inflammatory responses in the body, and is the first in a new class of drugs called Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors.
A panel of outside advisers to the FDA recommended the agency approve the drug during a May meeting, though many said it should be used only after patients had tried other treatments. Safety concerns included possible infections, such as pneumonia, or malignancies.
Wall Street analysts estimate that tofacitinib could reap up to $3 billion in annual sales if approved.
Pfizer shares rose 2 cents to $23.91 in premarket trading.

The inevitable became official last night when the Florida Marlins eliminated the Mets from playoff contention for the third time in four years. The Marlins might have administered the killing blow, but last night, as in the other two years, the Mets killed themselves.
Last night was a microcosm of this season in many ways, beginning with an offense that squandered numerous opportunities to eventually waste a strong starting performance, this time from Mike Pelfrey. The Mets' inability t0 produce, much less in the clutch, has been a critical weakness all summer.
We've been over this before, but most of the starting position players will return next season so the Mets don't figure to add a big bat. They need to hope for healthy players and improvement. Hoping makes for a very bad plan.
For his part, Pelfrey continues to pitch well enough to win most games, but last night was betrayed by his defense and later the bullpen.
After Pedro Feliciano retired the first two batters in the eighth, Jerry Manuel went to Elmer Dessens, who gave up four straight hits, including a mammoth three-run homer to Gaby Sanchez. Why Feliciano wasn't allowed to continue is beyond me. He's certainly more reliable than Dessens.
Another poor bullpen decision, but there have been so many I've lost track.
It's easy to blame injuries, and for the Mets they could wonder what might have been had they not lost significant time from Carlos Beltran, Jason Bay, Jose Reyes and Johan Santana. Still, the Mets' losses weren't as severe as those of the Phillies, but they managed to overcome and have won 21 of their last 25, the kind of hot streak Manuel kept waiting for, but never came.
Championship caliber teams must find a way to overcome from injuries and the Mets did not. There were simply too many times this season when they beat themselves, whether it be an error in the field, giving away an at-bat, or throwing a lazy pitch.
You are what your record says you are, and for the Mets they are a losing team for the second straight season, and out of the playoffs for the fourth straight year.
On an interesting note, Manuel responded to Joe Torre's comments about being curious about the Mets' job, and Torre responded by apologizing to Manuel and saying he was closing the door on managing the Mets. Torre should have danced around the question better and apologized for violating an unwritten protocol.
Still, people change their minds so I wouldn't write off the Mets and Torre talking after the season. It's not as if Torre backing off now will save Manuel's job. The Mets have not been shy in the past for going after media outlets for stories they didn't like, or weren't correct. The Mets have not told one media outlet to back off on Manuel, nor have they made any comment about his returning.
They have left Manuel alone to twist in the wind because they know he's not returning. They are studying their options. Speaking of which, they appear to have lost out on Kevin Towers, who appears to be headed for Arizona. He would have been intriguing.
So, it is officially over, but we've known for awhile now that it wasn't going to happen for the Mets. For me, I thought the series just prior to the break when they lost to Atlanta was a determining moment. From there, came the disastrous West Coast slide that coincided with the return of Carlos Beltran.
From there, the rest of the season was a formality.
