This just in: parents take helicoptering over the top. To wit, this post on the NYTimes Motherlode blog that links to a CNN story on moms who quit their jobs to help their kids get into college.
No joke. According to the piece, these are highly educated, professional women who take a "college prep leave" or quit entirely in order to micromanage their kids through the grueling college application process — along with all the resume-building that accompanies it:
There are no statistics counting how many mothers compromise their careers to help their teens with college admissions, but college counselors say they've witnessed more cases of mothers pausing their jobs or completely quitting their jobs. Over the past five years, Jeannie Borin, president of College Connections, says she saw a 10 percent uptick in mothers who quit or postponed their career to get their teens into college. Her counseling company offers services in 32 states.
These mothers, who can afford to quit their jobs, may stop working for months, a year or several years leading up to the admission process, say researchers and college admissions counselors. They reduce their full-time hours to part time or request a temporary leave. Because many of them have jobs that require advanced degrees and specific skills, it's usually easier for them to transition back into the work force.
"They know it's going to be an intense year and they take a leave to that effect," Borin said. "The college frenzy has affected the entire family."
I vote yuck for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the divide this creates between upper middle class kids and, well, all the rest. But that's another story. The piece goes on:
Managing a child's college application process can be similar to a corporate job, says Hilary Levey, a fellow at Harvard University who specializes in family studies. Levey conducted dozens of interviews with mothers who stopped working and stayed at home for their children. She says she talked to mothers who used their Blackberry devices to organize schedules and help their teens craft resumes.
"Raising the child sometimes becomes a career in itself," Levey said. "Instead of getting a promotion and measuring progress in professional sense, a way to measure how well you are doing is how well your child is doing."
This kind of takes the idea of parenting-as-competitive sport to all new levels of ugly. In a post a while back, we mentioned a time-use study that found that highly educated parents were spending much more time with their kids these days — which was the good news — but that the reason for the additional time spent went a little toward the dark side: prepping their kids early for limited slots at prestigious universities. In other words, rivalry. We've also written about the treadmill that starts early for so many kids, when their lives are pretty much dictated by the need to build a college resume. Put the two together and you wonder if these kids will ever get out from under the weight of great expectations — or be able to make a decision for themselves.
A while back I interviewed a teacher and counselor who had worked at the same private girls high school for the past two decades. She told me that the rate of parental involvement had lately escalated to the point where the school had to issue a written "communication protocol" spelling out the steps the students should take in handling their own problems before parents were allowed to intervene. "For the longest time, parents would call the school – my daughter didn't make the team, didn't make it into the play – and she's always been the best at this," she said. "And we'd say, well, you know what, your daughter needs to go talk to the director of the play, the coach, the teacher. And the parents were appalled. What do you mean? You're not going to talk to me about it?"
One of the comments to the Motherlode post offered a similar take on the rising role of helicopter parents:
I work at a university, and the number of parents that have called my office asking about registering their kids for classes, picking up forms or papers for their kids, or any other item or request that should be fielded by the actual student makes me a little nervous for the next generation. Parents should know that there are consequences to this kind of micromanagement, namely, a kid who can't handle the real world by themselves.
And a kid who is never allowed to fail. And yet, because she's never been able to climb down from the treadmill, may never feel that she's succeeded, either. And it's worse for girls, experts say, because they're hard-wired to please. They'll stick with the program, no matter how crazy, so they won't let anyone down.
And then, of course, comes the real world. No benchmarks of worth, such as grades or fat college admission packets. But the chase all the same. Grass is greener, anyone?

A rift is forming between marines and surfers, over a stretch of land considered sacred to surfers, but owned by the military.
The Surfrider Foundation is trying to protect Trestles Beach, and it could be the first actual state beach and surf spot that would be set aside and recognized at the national level as historically significant and preserved as such.
The beach, spanning more than 2 miles, is often called the "mecca" of surfing and it's owned by the military.
Since the 1971, Trestles has been leased out as a state beach and open for surfers to enjoy.
"This is the spot in the continental U.S. where you can get the greatest surfing in the world," longtime surfer Rick Wilson told NBC 7 San Diego.
Wilson said he remembers risking up to six months in jail to surf there as a teen when the military still owned the land.
"They'd give you these warnings and sometimes confiscated your surfboard," he said.
The Surfrider Foundation is now trying to make Trestles a national historic site.
"There are threats of toll road, of coastal development of water, environmental impairments so that's why Surfrider has to remain diligent," said Angela Howe with Surfrider.
But this beach is equally important to the military, serving as a unique area for specialized training.
Despite opposition from Camp Pendleton, the State Historical Resources Commission recommended that it be listed as a historic site last week
The Marine Corps says this designation threatens the base's mission and released a statement saying, "One of Camp Pendleton's primary mission is to provide ...the training opportunities necessary to ensure combat readiness. The requested designation...poses unacceptable risks to this essential military training."
The Navy and Marine Corps also said they will continue to support shared use and remain committed to ensuring the beach remains a widely available and accessible resource.
Surfrider says military training won't be impacted and they just want to protect Trestles for generations of surfers to come.
"You see fathers surfing with their sons and fathers and sons and grandsons you know surfing together," said Wilson. "It's something that is different three really than any other place in Southern California."

There is a bully on T's baseball team. The age of the kids is 4-6, but I'm sure it shouldn't surprise me that bullying starts this young. T had his first game last Saturday and there was a moment in the dugout during which which the bully grabbed T's hat off his head and held it out of reach. T stood there with a puzzled look on his face then reached for it, and when he did the kid shoved him backwards over a cooler. It's hardly the first incident.
Then I tripped the bully and he did a face plant in the dirt. Just kidding- I didn't. But it felt good even to write that. Wow, it sucks to watch your kid get shoved around.
I'm not sure what to do about it. Part of me wants to tell T to go ahead and sock him. T is smaller, but he's ridiculously strong and coordinated and could easily lay that kid out. I know this is going to be controversial, but that's my usual policy about bullies (as a kid who was mercilessly bullied for years). You turn around and fight back. Even if you lose, you're bound to get a few good shots in, and given the choice, no one is going to keep picking on a kid who nails him in the jaw.
But in this case, we've been struggling for years with T's aggression and impulse control and we're just starting to make progress. I've been astounded by his growth lately. I watch kids shove T on the playground while he literally stands there holding his hands behind his back. He's attending his second week of preschool, and while it hasn't been completely smooth sailing, the challenges seem manageable. He has gone nearly a week and a half without ONE incident of aggression. I feel so encouraged about his healing and growth. I'm not about to turn around now and be like, "Okay, you know how I told you that we don't use our hands for hurting? I meant we don't use our hands for hurting, EXCEPT when faced with a first-class jerk. In that case, go to town."
That doesn't seem productive. So instead, I told him to walk away.
Near the end of the game, when the other parents were in a little huddle talking about the bully kid (whose parents were unsurprisingly absent entirely), my heart actually hurt for the boy. I kept thinking about all the times that people might have been saying similar things about T's behavior, making similar assumptions that he's mean, pushy, an all around bad seed. In our case, those things couldn't be farther from the truth. The truth is that when T is aggressive, it's because he's terrified. His behavior gets better and better as he feels safer in the world- as he learns slowly and consistently that the people who love him can be trusted not to disappear.
As much as I want to kick that bully when he shoves my son, I can also see how scared and hurt that kid's eyes are. It doesn't make his behavior OK. It doesn't make me like him any more. But it does give me a shred of compassion. I figure, if I can't dig up some compassion for a neglected six year old, I need to seriously look to my heart.

Florida man charged with raping boy more than 100 times while living in Connecticut
BRIDGEPORT -- A Florida flight attendant has been charged with raping a 10-year-old boy more than 100 times.
Rafael Padilla-Cruz of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., surrendered to police in Bridgeport after being served with an extradition warrant in Florida.
The Connecticut Post reports that the 22-year-old Padilla-Cruz was charged with 156 counts of first-degree sexual assault and 156 counts of risk of injury to a minor.
His lawyer, Richard Meehan, said his client vehemently denies that he engaged in any inappropriate conduct with anyone.
Padilla-Cruz was released on $200,000 bond.
The arrest warrant says the boy, who is now 15, said Padilla-Cruz raped him almost daily between 2007 and 2008 while he was living with the boy's family in Bridgeport. The affidavit says Padilla-Cruz said something would happen to his mother if he complained.

The American League held on for a 4-3 victory over the National League in the 2019 All-Star Game in Cleveland, Ohio. Joey Gallo blasted a solo home run in the seventh inning that turned out to be the difference in the game. The ball had an exit velocity of 111.5 mph, making it the hardest-hit ball in an All-Star Game since Statcast began tracking the numbers in 2015.
The American League took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Michael Brantley ripped a two-out double into the gap to score Alex Bregman.
Gary Sanchez scored on an infield single by Jorge Polanco in the fifth inning to give the American League a 2-0 lead.
Charlie Blackmon put the National League on the board with a deep home run to right-center field in the sixth inning.
The American League added another run when Xander Bogarts grounded into a run-scoring double play in the seventh inning. Later in the inning, Gallo's home run would make it 4-1.
The National League battled back, scoring two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning thanks to a two-run single by Home Run Derby Champion Peter Alonso.
Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman closed out the game by striking out the side in the top of the ninth to earn the save. Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka earned the win, while Dodgers ace Kleyton Kershaw was handed the loss.
Cleveland Indians pitcher Shane Bieber was named the MVP for striking out the side in the fifth inning.

Keep Fed Ed? What, Do You Hate Kids?
Yesterday, Tad DeHaven wrote about an interview with Rep. John Kline (R-MN), likely chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee should the GOP take the House majority. Tad lamented that Kline seemed to declare any potential effort to kill the U.S. Department of Education (ED) already dead in the water. Unfortunately, Kline is certainly right: Any effort to kill ED in the next couple of years would not only have to get through a (presumably) GOP-held House, but (also presumably) a Dem-controlled Senate and Obama-occupied White House. There just aint no way ED will be dismantled -- and more importantly, it's profligate programs eliminated -- in that environment.
That said, if many Tea Party-type candidates win today, it will be precisely the time to start pushing the immensely powerful case for ending fed ed. I won't post them yet again, but Andrew Coulson's charts showing the Mount Everest of spending and the Death Valley of student achievement over the last roughly forty years should, frankly, be all the evidence anyone needs to see that the federal government should reacquaint itself with the Constitution and get out of elementary and secondary education. When it comes to higher education, the evidence plainly points to student aid helping to fuel the massive tuition hikes -- and major waste -- that plague higher education. And let's not forget the ongoing failure of Head Start...
The biggest obstacle to ending federal intrusion in education is that no one wants to vote against more education funding or programs no matter how akin to money-sack bonfires they are. Politicians simply don't want to be tarred and feathered in campaign ads as being against children, or education itself. (No doubt almost everyone has seen ads attacking candidates for just such impossible cruelty over the last, seemingly endless, few months.) But if Tea Party sentiment proves strong today, tomorrow will be exactly the right time to launch a full-on, sustained attack against the federal occupation of education.
For one thing, teachers unions -- arguably the most potent force in domestic politics, and the biggest "you hate children" bullies -- are on their political heels, with even Democrats acknowledging that the unions don't actually put kids first. Next, people are very concerned about wasteful spending, and as Andrew's charts illuminate, education furnishes that in droves. Third, the latest Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup poll reveals that by large majorities Americans want state and local governments -- not the feds -- in charge of education. Finally, and most importantly, the evidence blares that federal spending and meddling hasn't actually done anything to improve education. All of which makes this the perfect time to drive the argument home: We must get Washington out of education because it is bad for your pocketbook, and bad for education!
Now, some inside-the-Beltway types have counseled the GOP to ignore the Constitution and abundant evidence of federal failure because they think the feds can somehow do good. They should be ignored because logic, evidence, and the Constitution simply aren't on their side. And for those who might say to drop the issue because you won't win in the next year or two? They would be right about the time frame for victory, but absolutely wrong to not take up the fight.

Children who experience poverty, especially persistently, are at higher risk of suffering health problems, developmental delays, and behaviour disorders. They tend to attain lower levels of education1 and are more likely to live in poverty as adults.2
Moreover, the failure to address poverty may place a heavy burden on a country's economy. As the OECD has concluded, "failure to tackle the poverty and exclusion facing millions of families and their children is not only socially reprehensible, but it will also weigh heavily on countries' capacity to sustain economic growth in years to come."3
The Conference Board of Canada uses the OECD's relative measure of child poverty,4 which calculates the proportion of children living in households where disposable income is less than 50 per cent of the median in each country.
At 15.1 per cent, Canada's child poverty rate is over four percentage points higher than the 17-country average. More than one in seven Canadian children live in poverty. Canada ranks 15th on this indicator and scores a "C" grade.
The Nordic countries—Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden—have the lowest rates of child poverty, with less than 7 per cent of children living in poor households. The relationship between social spending and poverty rates has become more obvious over time, so it is no surprise that the leading countries boast strong traditions of wealth redistribution.
The U.S. still has the highest poverty rate among industrialized countries, earning a "D" grade.
Not according to the latest statistics from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In 1989, the Canadian House of Commons unanimously resolved to eliminate child poverty by the year 2000, and there was some initial success; the child poverty rate fell from 15.8 per cent in the mid-1980s to 12.8 in the mid-1990s. Since then, however, the rate has increased—to 15.1 per cent in the late 2000s—reversing earlier progress.
Of the 13 countries for which historical data are available, Canada had the third-highest jump in the child poverty rate between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s. Sweden had the largest increase—from 2.5 per cent to 7.0 per cent. Five countries—Italy, Germany, the U.K., Netherlands, and the U.S.—reduced their child poverty rates, although the U.S. still has the highest child poverty rate. Italy made the most progress.
In 1999, the U.K. set out on a 20-year mission to end child poverty through a series of integrated policies, including strengthening early learning, education, affordable housing, and health services, as well as raising the minimum wage and augmenting child benefits. The original target was to halve child poverty by 2010 and to end it by 2020. The country initially made great strides, reducing the child poverty rate from 16.2 per cent in 2000 to 10.1 per cent in the mid-2000s. Along with most countries, however, the poverty rate in the U.K. rose in the late 2000s as a result of the financial crisis. To meet the 2010 goal, the number of children living in low-income households needed to be reduced to 3.3 million. The number in 2009–10 was 3.8 million, meaning that the U.K. government was still 500,000 children above its target.5
Canada, like Australia, has received steady "C"s since the 1980s for its child poverty rate.
Four Nordic countries have been consistent "A" performers—Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The U.S. has been the only consistent "D" performer.
The Nordic countries have long been upheld as leaders in maintaining low rates of poverty. Their success lies in universal welfare policy that has been effectively combined with job creation strategies that support gender equality and accessibility.
There is a long-standing debate about the most effective means of reducing poverty. An OECD study on the effectiveness of child poverty strategies in OECD countries determined that the answer lies in striking the appropriate balance between a "benefits strategy" and a "work strategy."6 The debate hinges on the apparent trade-off between ensuring adequate income assistance for families and providing incentives for people to work and provide for themselves.
On the surface, a benefits strategy appears to be most effective in reducing child poverty. Certainly, the relationship between social spending and poverty rates is striking. Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden—four of the top performers on this indicator—all allot about 3 per cent or more of gross domestic product (GDP) for direct public spending on families, a full percentage point higher than the OECD average. And among the working-age population, relative poverty rates are lowest among OECD countries where social spending is the highest.
A clear link has been made, however, between joblessness and poverty. In Canada, relative poverty rates are highest among single parents and even more pronounced among non-working single parents. Across the OECD, non-employed families are the most economically disadvantaged, which means job creations strategies are an integral part of tackling poverty.
Countries that have reduced poverty rates have turned away from passive, benefits-only poverty reduction approaches in favour of national anti-poverty strategies that incorporate a number of "active" policies. Active policies are social policies that integrate strategies across governments, departments, and service providers to reduce poverty and increase self-sufficiency. For example, active job policies may be set up to help people overcome obstacles to get jobs through a combination of:
Yes. Statistics Canada publishes poverty rates for Canada using a different measure of poverty than the OECD uses. Statistics Canada's low income cut-off (LICO) is a threshold that defines the status of a family's income. Families below the threshold spend a larger share of their income on necessities (that is, food, clothing, and shelter) than the average family does, leaving less money to spend on transportation, health, personal care, education, household operation, recreation, or insurance.
Statistics Canada reports that the proportion of Canadian children in poverty fell from a peak of 18.4 per cent in 1996 to 8.2 per cent in 2010.7 According to the LICO numbers, an estimated 550,000 Canadians under the age of 18 live in low-income households.8

4 - 6oz burgers
4 brioche buns
For the Buffalo sauce:
2 Tbsp. butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½ cup Franks Red Hot
For the blue cheese sauce:
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayo
4 oz crumbled blue cheese
1 Tbsp. milk (optional if you like it a little creamier)
1 small clove garlic, minced and mashed into paste with a little salt
Salt and pepper to taste
In a small saucepan over medium high heat, melt butter and sauté garlic for few minutes until translucent. Add Franks Red Hot and cook through. Set aside and let cool before adding to meat.
Mix all ingredients for blue cheese sauce and let sit for at least an hour to infuse flavors.
Once buffalo sauce has cooled, separate ¼ cup for patties and save the rest for topping. If using preformed patties, brush about a teaspoon of buffalo sauce onto each burger. If forming your own patties, mix sauce into the meat and form patty without overmixing. Overmixing makes for a tougher burger.
Grill burgers on a preheated grill until desired doneness. Be careful of flames when grilling as the butter in the sauce may cause a little extra flame.
Towards the end of cooking, lightly grill buns cut side down. To serve, brush extra buffalo sauce on the bottom of the bun. Place burger on bun. Top with blue cheese sauce, lettuce, and bun top. Enjoy!

CAPE TOWN- South African opening bowler Vernon Philander has built up a phenomenal record since his Test debut againstAustraliain November 2011 but his captain Graeme Smith is looking for more.
"Vern has got the results but he is still a work in progress," said Smith. "I think he can get better." Philander, 27, has taken 87 wickets in 15 Tests at an average of 16.81 - a strike rate and an average unmatched by any other contemporary Test bowler. He has shot up the International Cricket Council rankings and is second only to his South African new ball partner, Dale Steyn.
Together Philander and Steyn have been part of the three lowest totals made againstSouth Africa- 47 byAustraliain his debut Test, 45 byNew Zealandand 49 byPakistanin the first Test of the current series. In those three innings alone, Philander picked up 12 wickets and conceded only 38 runs.
Philander was again a prime architect of South Africa's four-wicket win in the second Test against Pakistan which ended at Newlands on Sunday, taking five for 59 in the first innings and four for 40 in the second. Smith pointed out that Philander had suffered "a few niggles" - which have caused him to miss three Tests because of injury since his debut - and that he could improve on his performances when the ball loses its shine if he was able to bowl slightly faster.
"I think he himself would like to see his pace up a little bit," said Smith. "Outside of that his skill factor is immense. The seam action that he gets out of his hand... the questions he asks batters. "It's great to stand at slip and watch that happen. "If he can pick up a little bit of pace, which he has definitely got, his old ball spells will get even better.
"His new ball spells are so effective that if he can get his old ball spells to the same level he can really produce. I know it's asking a lot but I do believe he can get there." Philander and Steyn will again spearhead the South African bowling in the third and final Test againstPakistanstarting at Centurion on Friday. But the world champions will almost certainly be without Morne Morkel, the third member of their feared pace quartet, who only bowled 19 balls in the second innings before leaving the field with a hamstring strain. Rory Kleinveldt is likely to take his place.
South Africawill be seeking to complete a clean sweep of the series at Centurion to strengthen their hold on the number one Test ranking. "Each week is a different challenge but it's nice to have the confidence to know that we are a team that can perform," said Smith.

Sam ignored the lie he saw on her face. "I can't trade without knowing what's at stake."
"I thought the important thing was to keep things moving." Sara waved her hands in small circles in front of her as though stirring the air into action.
Sam shook his head. "If you don't know what you want, you'll never get it. What's more, if you don't know what you want, you'll never know when you do get it." He reached into his bag and withdrew a packet. He offered it to her on the palm of his hand. "So, Sara without an h, tell me--what do you want?"
Sara is only in New York City for one day, a day she was supposed to spend sightseeing with her father after his meeting wrapped up. But her father's meeting runs long and Sara is left to her own devices. On impulse she follows a boy she sees leaving a bookstore wearing a Zebra Stripes hoodie, a band she loves that most other people haven't heard of. It's a decision that could lead to something great or something horrible, but the last thing she expects is for it to change her life.
Sam knows a girl is following him, but he can't decide if he should ditch her or let her catch up. He waits for her and meets Sara (without an h) for the first time. Even without knowing anything about her, the ever-observant Sam sees in Sara a kindred spirit, he just doesn't know why yet.
They spend the day together and whether by accident or design they end up on a seemingly impossible quest across the city looking for something that may not even exist. Sam teaches Sara the art of trading, promising you can get anything you want by starting with a sugar packet. Sara shows Sam that sometimes letting go isn't the same as letting go. They seem to click together perfectly, but they're both holding onto demons they're afraid of revealing. Sam and Sara know going in that there's an end in sight--Sara's flight leaves at noon the next day--and it's a looming deadline that makes their time together all the more special and their secrets all the heavier. Will the strange ties that bind them be strong enough to hold when their pasts come to light and their plans fall apart or will good-bye come far too quickly after hello?
I loved this book. I adored the feel of the city you get from it and I loved the characters. Sara wears her smile like a shield to keep people from seeing the pain she still feels from her mother's abandonment eight years ago and Sam is still coping (and running) from a tragedy that shattered the way he looks at the world. Sam has a unique way of seeing things and being able to see from his point of view (the book is told from alternating viewpoints) gave the story another level of depth the really drew me in. It took a few chapters to get used to the switch between first person (Sara's chapters) and third person limited-omniscient (Sam's sections), but otherwise the writing style had a flavor I enjoyed. The descriptions, comparisons, characters, and dialogue all seemed fresh and real and kept me reading until I'd devoured the book in one sitting. The only thing that bothered me: I wanted it to keep going! The book offers a resolution, but enough of the story continues after the last page that it's meant for either the reader to fill in the blanks or to set the characters in motion for a sequel. Personally, I'm hoping for a sequel.

Giving turf the breath of life
Air flow is a major factor for successful maintenance of putting green turf.
Air flow is a major factor for successful maintenance of putting green turf.
Anyone who plays golf knows a green like this. Most superintendents have one. It's located in a low-lying or pocketed environment, where the heat and humidity are stifling compared to other areas of the golf course. A distinct, musty odor is noticeable. The air is stale, and moisture levels are perpetually high. The green just never seems to dry out.
While people may find this environment uncomfortable for a few minutes, golfers can move on to the next hole when play is through. By contrast, the turf on the green continually suffers — the grass is stuck in this environment. The root of the problem is poor air movement, and it can have a devastating impact on putting-green conditions.
Air movement and turfgrass health
The growing environment of the turf on and around a green complex essentially is determined by sunlight penetration and air movement. These factors contribute mightily to the rate at which the putting green complex dries out.
Wet greens are usually bad greens. Excess moisture contributes to increased disease incidence as well as other maladies such as algae. Mechanical damage on greens that do not dry out quickly is even more severe. In traveling the Mid-Atlantic region, the worst greens I see are those located in pocketed growing environments with poor sunlight penetration.
Air movement across the green produces a drying effect for the soil and increases the evapotranspiration rate of the plant. This combination leads to drier conditions and healthier turfgrass.
Corrective measures
There is no reasonable substitute for good sunlight penetration of a putting green. Thus, if shade is present, the object casting the shade must be removed if it is causing serious problems. If it is a tree, you can prune it or remove it altogether.
For air flow, however, several options usually are available to improve airflow in a specific area. Removing underbrush and trees can improve air movement, while fans provide an artificial option for increasing air movement. A combination of tree removal and fan installation ultimately may be necessary to improve air movement and the overall growing environment.
- Underbrush and tree removal
Superintendents commonly overlook the impacts of low-growing vegetation when evaluating air-movement problems. However, you need to account for underbrush accumulations around problem green complexes as a first step to improving air movement. It only takes undergrowth 18 to 24 inches high to retard air movement at ground level where the turf is struggling to survive. Removing low-growing weeds and other vegetation within wooded areas adjacent to pocketed greens can have a significant impact on air movement without removing a single tree.
Neglect of underbrush maintenance often starts as soon as construction is finished. Greens that performed well soon after construction can become poor performers over time if underbrush growth is not cut back regularly. The goal should be to remove underbrush annually during the winter months and, if possible, establish vegetation that will persist as a ground cover in wooded areas to suppress the growth of woody perennials.
In more severe cases, underbrush clearing may not be enough. In these cases, significant tree removal may be needed. Tree removal also provides the additional benefit of improved sunlight penetration in many instances. This can create a significant improvement in the growing environment in addition to improved air movement.
Just remember that indiscriminate tree removal is not the best solution. Pay close attention to the prevailing wind direction around a given green before making tree removal decisions. Concentrate on removing trees and underbrush on the side of the green that is exposed to the prevailing winds. Any removal will help, but if the green complex is still blocked on the side of the prevailing wind, you'll derive much less benefit in the way of air movement.
Finally, on deeply pocketed greens, it may be necessary to provide an outlet channel on the downwind side of the green to maximize air movement. For airflow to occur, the air has to be able to leave an area as easily as it enters it. Otherwise, stagnant conditions will persist.
Removal of trees or underbrush is not always possible due to property or environmental constraints. In other instances, the object restricting air movement may not be vegetation at all. Surrounding houses, rock outcrops or even high mounding around a green complex can cause a problem with air movement. In such cases, you may have to use a different strategy.
- Fan installation
When removing the obstruction to air movement is not an option, fans can provide artificial air flow around putting greens. When properly installed and maintained, fans provide a dramatic improvement in air movement and turfgrass health. For the best results with fans, however, you'll need to follow certain guidelines.
Obviously, you should first target the greens with the poorest growing environments for fan installation. The most severely pocketed greens will benefit the most from properly installed fans.
Once you determine the general location of fan installation, you must provide electrical power. This may not sound like a big deal. However, running electricity to the green site is often the most expensive part of the project if fans were not anticipated at the time of construction. The most deeply pocketed greens are often located the farthest from an electrical source.
Tapping into electricity from on-course bathrooms or water fountains is a common choice. Many times the power supply for the irrigation system is considered an option to run fans. Unfortunately, unless fan installation was considered during construction, electrical wiring for on-course irrigation systems won't be sufficient to operate fans.
Sometimes the best option is to tap into a power source from off the golf course property. This often is done in housing developments. It goes without saying that a professional should be hired to perform all electrical installations to be sure they are done safely, legally and correctly.
For the short-term, you can use gasoline engines to run fans, but the need for frequent servicing and the noise make this a less desirable option. However, if you only need a fan sporadically on a green, gasoline power is a viable option.
- Fan type
Fan preference is highly subjective. Regardless of manufacturer, properly installed fans designed for use on golf courses will improve air movement. Superintendents should visit other golf courses that already have fans installed to determine which will perform best for their given situation. Cost of the fan, ongoing cost of operation and noise must all be considered in addition to performance. Be sure to do the homework to find the fan that fits best with your individual circumstances.
- Mounting and placement
Fan mounting will vary with fan type. Most fans are mounted on poles. In some instances, trees can provide an acceptable mount. Fans are generally located behind a green to minimize the impact on play. The goal is to provide a 3- to 4-mph breeze over the majority of the turfgrass canopy on the green. Larger greens may require more than one fan to achieve this.
Proper placement will maximize airflow across the green surface. If the fan is too far away — a common mistake — it will be ineffective in this capacity. For greatest effectiveness, position the fan as close to the green as possible to maximize air movement. However, remember that safety is an issue. Though it would be foolish, the possibility exists that a golfer will stick a golf club in a fan with disastrous results. Guards need to be in place or the fans need to be unreachable to prevent this occurrence.
When determining the height and location of a fan, use a wind-speed indicator to evaluate airflow. This can be as sophisticated as an anemometer that actually measures wind-speed. However, small pin flags or a smoke bomb will provide all of the information you need to determine the fan's impact. Be sure to measure airflow at the level of the turfgrass canopy. This is where the benefit is needed. The airflow should be as uniform as possible across the entire green as the fan oscillates. If fans are not properly located, their value to the turf will be greatly diminished.
Once you've installed the fans, operate them any time when excessive moisture is present and rapid drying is needed. It may be stating the obvious, but fans won't do any good if you don't use them. I've noticed that many golf courses fail to use fans when weather conditions dictate that they should.
Good air movement is crucial for turfgrass maintenance. When possible, the best option for improving airflow around putting greens is to remove trees and underbrush to maximize natural airflow. When tree and underbrush removal are not possible, properly installed fans provide a good alternative to improve the growing environment. The worst thing to do is nothing. Poor growing environments do not improve without help.

In our last post (part 1 of 2), we dove into Facebook timeline privacy and security, prompted by the universal imposition of the timeline view that is currently under way on the world's largest social network. In this second part, we continue reviewing our Facebook timeline from other people's perspective, using a tool called View As :
Timeline View As
You access the View As tool via the gear wheel icon below your cover photo, as described in this help screen:
Notice the context menu for this as well. Here, we find a way to take a look at how things might appear to a friend, coworker, or whomever. This is a nice sanity check to see if all your content has the viewing audience you would prefer, in other words, yet another way to make sure you have the right audience for your content.
Past items on Timeline
Next we look at how past items are displayed. We are told:
Notice that items in the past have been essentially frozen in the context they were when originally posted. It's still worth using the View As feature to double-check and see if everything is as you expect from other people's point-of-view: better safe than sorry.
All past items visibility
If you decide you want to restrict all your past items to only friends, there's a way to do that:
So you could ratchet down items that you no longer want to be publicly visible, items that you should consider reviewing anyway. If, however, you have a mix of content, some that you want to be shared to a wider audience, using this feature is irreversible, so ratchet down wisely. On the other hand, you can review your past items and set their context individually. Still, if you want a quick way to restrict visibility, this tool will help you keep things much more private.
Who can see your friend?
If you want to restrict who can see your list of friends, there are tips on how to do that:
Here, it's a good idea to think about restricting visibility into your list of Friends, especially if you have Friends who really aren't interested in sharing their friend preferences widely. Here, the adage that you are known by the company you keep can turn into a valuable tool for those trying to evaluate you in terms of whom you know, for better or worse. Regardless of viewers' intentions, in terms of privacy, less is more, so you might want to restrict this.
Block people from posting on your timeline
Suppose you have certain circles of friends that you don't fully trust to resist post unsavory items on your timeline, here's how you control that:
By setting this feature to No One , you severely restrict the ability of less-than-honorable would-be posters from upsetting your timeline. Note also the ability to restrict them from seeing your posts at all:
This is a still further way of restricting their visibility, which may apply, depending on your situation.
Timeline wrap-up
As you can see, understanding the context of your timeline can seem a bit daunting. But remember, having your private information accidentally creep out onto the Internet can often mean you won't get it back, which is much tougher to live with, so it may pay to take the time to set your Timeline sharing as you would like it. And remember, if you really want privacy, either ratchet down some of the settings as described above, or better yet, don't post things you don't want to be visible in the first place. There are many examples of people losing jobs and opportunities, or messing up relationships in significant ways, by missing a setting or two on Facebook content sharing, so don't let it happen to you, it's much more painful and tough to fix after the fact.

By DAVID GREEN
Ohio—and 47 other states—missed out on federal funding via the Race to the Top program. Many states, including Ohio, were faulted for a lack of support from local school districts, so the Ohio Department of Education is putting some money behind its attempt in the second round of federal funding.
Fayette's Board of Education Monday night approved a new Race to the Top memorandum of understanding that comes with a $100,000 funding guarantee over four years.
A total of $400 million will be distributed to local districts to entice them to sign up. The funds would be delivered only if Ohio chosen for the program in the second round of funding.
BUS—The board approved a bid from Cardinal for a Micro Bird 30-passenger mini-bus. The bus will replace two vans for transporting special needs students. Federal funds are being used to pay $47,000 of the $55,000 cost.
The local share of the cost should be made up within two years, said superintendent Russ Griggs, due to the improvement in efficiency.
FINANCES—District treasurer Kelly Bentley told board members she's seeing doom and gloom in budget matters.
"I'm seeing more expenses than revenues," she said.
Bentley will present an updated five-year forecast at the May board meeting.
RETIREMENT—An early retirement incentive was approved by the board offering a one-time payment to a teacher with more than 34 years of service. The retirement would bring a payment of $300 for every year of teaching at Fayette. The one employee who could take advantage of the option has until May 15 to sign up.
COPIES—The board approved a fee of five cents a copy for photocopies that aren't for school use and 10 cents a copy for color copies.
TRIP—The Spanish Club changed its travel destination from Puerto Rico to New York City for a four-night trip in April 2011.
HANDBOOK—The board approved an updated student/parent handbook for the high school. Principal Dan Feasel said most changes resulted from suggestions from the state principal's association or to make policy meet current code.
Changes include the requirement for four mathematics credits beginning with the class of 2014; age limits and attire regulations for school dances; dress code at school in relation to holes in clothing; adding policy on "sexting." There have been no instances of sexting, Feasel said, but policy must be in place in order to deal with it.
Flexible credit is also addressed, Feasel said. With this option, students can obtain credit without being in school, although requests must be approved in advance by school officials. He listed on-line courses and overseas trips as examples.
Feasel said the option won't be discouraged, but not all requests would be approved.
PERSONNEL—Jason Ohlemacher was hired as a full-time substitute to replace Cameron Thompson who will be starting a family leave.
The board hired Dave Hoste to continue serving as athletic director. Applications were received from 14 people and a committee of seven people conducted interviews and made a recommendation to the board. The board also approved the July 1 retirement of Debby Hatcliff.
Family leave was approved for Andrea Jacobs (March 16 through April 26) and for Sarah Altstaetter (May 27 through Aug. 20).

The best resolution a Veteran could make this year is to get an eye check-up.
January is Glaucoma Awareness Month and a perfect reminder to all Veterans to take action now to prevent this sight-stealing disease.
One-and-a-half million Veterans have a vision threatening eye disease including 285,000 with Glaucoma.
African-American Veterans should especially get their eyes checked regularly as Glaucoma is six-to-eight times more common in African-Americans than Caucasians. Also, among Hispanic populations, Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness.
The highest risk group is those Veterans over 60. What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases in which the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises, leading to vision loss or even blindness.
Glaucoma usually starts without any symptoms. Later, there is some loss of side vision. Objects straight ahead are seen clearly, but objects to the side are missed. As the disease worsens, the ability to see objects on the side is increasingly lost, and eventually the center of vision is affected.
The test for glaucoma is painless. Your VA doctor will test the pressure in your eye by placing an instrument on its surface. If there is a suspicion for glaucoma, the appearance and function of the optic nerve are tested with a visual field test and a special retina camera, both of which can detect damage to the optic nerves.
Glaucoma is treated with eye drops, but in some cases, eye surgery is necessary to optimally lower the eye pressure. These treatments work to either make less fluid, or to improve its drainage out of the eye.
Glaucoma is a life-long problem. Veterans should have regular check-ups by an ophthalmologist to watch for changes in pressure and side vision.
VA Researches New Approaches for Treatment
The VA is working hard to help prevent Veterans' eye problems at the Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Visual Loss.
The Center conducts cutting-edge research in the diagnosis of visual loss, and works to understand the underlying mechanisms and causes of visual loss. With this research, the Center can study new approaches toward rehabilitation and treatment of visual loss, while improving education and clinical care of our nation's veterans.
According to Dr. Randy H. Kardon, Director of the Center, "Glaucoma is one of the silent causes of vision loss. Patients are unaware that they are slowly losing vision until it is too late, at which time the loss is permanent. That is why it is so important for veterans to have regular eye exams to check for any sign that glaucoma is developing and to be treated, if glaucoma is detected."
VA spends a significant portion of its medical care dollars toward detecting and monitoring of treatment of vision loss, requiring approximately five million visits per year, which is increasing.
The Center of Excellence for the Prevention and Treatment of Visual Loss is helping to solve this problem through new methods of detection, understanding the underlying mechanisms of disease, developing new treatment strategies and telemedicine initiatives.
The Center's efforts focus on prevention of blindness using innovative telemedicine efforts for detection and monitoring of disease and molecular approaches to new treatments.
Center Associate Director Dr. Michael Abramoff and his colleagues, including investigator Mona Garvin, Ph.D. are developing portable digital eye cameras along with cutting edge software that automatically analyzes images of the optic nerve to diagnose glaucoma and determine if it is changing with time.
Sinisa Grozdanic, D.V.M., Ph.D., and investigators from the Center are also testing new molecules that protect the optic nerve from damage and help preserve vision, in addition to lowering eye pressure.

Last night I came "off the couch" and decided my first run in over a week would be the Full Moon Half Marathon here in town. It's a first-year event and is unique in the fact it starts at 7:00 PM and runs into the night. I really had zero expectations for it but decided I'd be very pleasantly surprised if I could average 7:00 miles, but realistically expected to be able to run 7:20s at best. I did a lot better than I was expecting, getting stronger as the race went on, and would now like to present a "How To" for any of you out there that haven't won an age group. Consider it yet another generous public service offered by yours truly. I'm sure it will help some more than others.
- 1. Pick a race in its first year of existence. It hasn't had the time to generate a loyal following or bring the speed demons out of the woodwork.
- 2. Pick a race that has an entrant cap. It's kinda like figuring out your wedding invitation list: You can expect only 75% of your list will actually show up, and 25% will be drunk for the reception (or, in this case, drunk for the 7:00 PM start time. Hey, it's Wisconsin!).*
- 3. This one is the KEY... Make sure the only really really really fast people entered in the race aren't in your age group.

Felt really is my best friend at Halloween. Without any tedious hemming you can achieve a very finished looking costume. When shopping for felt be aware that there are a lot of different types — you can find 100% acrylic felt for as little $7 a yard, and 100% wool felt (which is really gorgeous, but not necessary for a kids costume) for about $60 per yard. This costume took less than an hour to make and Bea was quite happy with it. I was too, except for the ears, which are a little too coquettish for me.
To make this costume I had Bea lay down on a large piece of paper and I traced around her body to gauge the size. Then I cut three felt pieces: 1 in a standard tank top shape for the front, and two pieces with a curved edge seam to create the rounded back (see sketch below). NOTE: The straps in the sketch are too short…be sure to make them longer so you can adjust the size easily.
The back of the bunny did not stay rounded out on it's own so I tacked a small square throw pillow inside (photos below). The tail is a scrunchy wash ball from the drug store. Craft stores sell little squares of faux fur which we used along with some white felt for the ears. If I did this again I would be sure to set the ears apart a bit for a different look.

Scott Laboratories Now Carrying Claristar, a Leader in Tartrate (KHT) Stabilization
As of April 1, 2013, Scott Laboratories Inc. is pleased to offer a range of Oenobrands products in North America, including Claristar, the recognized tartrate stability product. Introduced in Europe by Oenobrands in 2007, Claristar is a mannoprotein application for still wine tartrate (KHT) stabilization. Originally marketed for white and rosé wines, Claristar recently expanded its mannoprotein application to red wines as well.
Claristar is a specialty mannoprotein product for natural stabilization of wines. It is the result of a patented extraction and separation technique that isolates the fraction of mannoproteins from S. cerevisiae with the highest Tartrate Stability Index (TSI). When added to wine, Claristar inhibits the nucleation and growth of potassium tartrate crystals. In addition to stability, the sensory balance of red, white and rosé wines are enhanced by the positive effect of the mannoproteins, and wine's natural acidity is preserved. Users note improved and fresher aromatics as well as smoothness on the palate.
Sold as a liquid, Claristar's highly purified mannoproteins are 100 percent soluble in wine. It can be added directly and homogenizes easily. Due to its instant stabilization properties, wine can be treated immediately prior to bottling. For more information on Claristar and tartrate stability in general, contact Scott Laboratories at 707-765-6666.
Scott Laboratories has been meeting the needs of the beverage industry with innovative products and solutions for the past 80 years. Scott Labs operates two main offices in Petaluma and a satellite facility in Healdsburg.

Eddie Cibrian is planning to sue a tabloid magazine which recently ran a cover headline and story claiming he is involved with a 24-year-old aspiring actress and cheating on girlfriend LeAnn Rimes.
In an exclusive statement to Access Hollywood, the "CSI: Miami" actor, through his rep, revealed that he has met with his legal counsel and is planning to file a lawsuit.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Divorce! Break-Ups! Hollywood's Most Famous Former Couples
"Unfortunately Life & Style Magazine has chosen to go out with a story filled with inaccuracies and deceitful lies, presumably to titillate sales but clearly resulting in harm to Eddie Cibrian and others," the statement from Cibrian's rep, on behalf of the star, read. "This is irresponsible and reckless journalism. Eddie has met with his attorneys and will be filing a suit for libel and other actionable grounds shortly. It's a shame that Life & Style resorted to a story of this nature and they will regretfully now have to face scrutiny of untruthful reporting in a court proceeding."
In the mag's latest issue, and in a story posted online on Wednesday, Life & Style reported that Cibrian is "carrying on a three-year romance with" a 24-year old aspiring actress named Scheana and cheating on Rimes, his rumored girlfriend.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: LeAnn Rimes
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Cibrian filed for divorce from his wife of nearly eight years, Brandi Glanville, in August.
The filing came months after reports first emerged that Cibrian engaged in an affair with Rimes, his Lifetime "Northern Lights" movie co-star. Both stars denied those reports.
Rimes is also in the process of divorcing her husband, Dean Sheremet. She announced the news on her Web site in September.

When contacted by Access Hollywood, a spokesperson for Life & Style said, "We stand by our reporting."

The Cross River State Command of Nigeria Immigration Service has arrested a final year student of College of Education, Akamkpa, for alleged armed robbery and no fewer than 10 illegal immigrants in Calabar.
State Comptroller of Immigration, Mr. Samuel Ogwiji, said the Monitoring and Surveillance team he set up carried out a raid in the state capital and arrested the illegal immigrants, who were mainly from Republic of Mali and other neighbouring countries.
Ogwiji said about four persons suspected to be armed robbers were sighted by his men in an uncompleted building near Atekong Street, Calabar, in the early hours of Wednesday but three ran away when confronted as one was unlucky as he was arrested.
Speaking with newsmen, the armed robbery suspect and final student of Department of Mathematics from Etung Local Government Area of the state claimed that his friend invited him for a club outing in Calabar and that he never knew what he was into before the security operatives picked him up.

Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Pyrazinamide has been used in children and, in effective doses, has not been reported to cause different side effects or problems in children than it does in adults.
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults. Although there is no specific information comparing pyrazinamide in the elderly with use in other age groups, this medicine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
To help clear up your TB completely, it is important that you keep taking this medicine for the full time of treatment, even if you begin to feel better after a few weeks. It is important that you do not miss any doses.
