A new partnership will bring recycling back to historic Churchill Downs just in time for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby races. Mayor Jerry Abramson; Steve Sexton, president of Churchill Downs; Pat Franc, president of ARCO Aluminum; and Anheuser-Busch Corporation announced the "Race to Recycle", an effort to promote recycling during Oaks and Derby.
"With the city and the country's premier racetrack working together, we will set an example for the entire world that Louisville is a recycling community," Abramson said. "I am pleased that we have so many groups working together for a common goal during this spectacular time in our city."
Visitors to Churchill Downs on Oaks and Derby days may recycle aluminum cans and plastic bottles in the satellite parking lot at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium or at one of four locations in the track's infield. The large recycling containers are marked with "Go Green Louisville – Get in the Loop" logos.
"Race to Recycle is an exemplary effort to increase the awareness of recycling in the community," said Franc. "This program takes the recycling message to thousands of people who visit Churchill Downs throughout the year, and also gets the community involved through the school recycling challenge."
Last year, visitors to Churchill Downs for Oaks and Derby generated 174 tons of trash. About 50 percent is recyclable.
Three local schools will send teams to Churchill Downs after the Derby to collect recyclables from the infield, paddock, parking lot and other areas near the track. Approximately 90 students and 30 instructors will take part in the post-Derby collection. A portion of the proceeds from the recyclables collected by the students will go to Churchill Downs' Permanently Disabled Jockeys Charity program.
"This recycling initiative is a proven winner because it allows fans who are concerned about the environment to actively do something to help," said Rob Thoele, region manager for Anheuser-Busch Recycling. "Because of the City of Louisville's support and commitment, and the dedication of our partners at ARCO Aluminum, this program will keep a significant amount of used beverage containers from reaching landfills."
"Churchill Downs is pleased to join the city, ARCO Aluminum and Anheuser-Busch in this partnership to launch this very significant recycling project," Sexton said. "This community has been our home for 134 years, and we hope this project will inspire similar efforts throughout the community and our horse industry to recycle and help improve the quality of life in this region."
ARCO Aluminum will provide about 50 recycling receptacles to Churchill Downs as part of the continuing effort to sustain recycling after the "Race to Recycle" is complete. The cans will be placed the week after Derby and will remain at the track for the spring and fall meets.
The Louisville Metro Solid Waste Management Department will collect the recyclables on a regular basis throughout the spring and fall meets. The materials will be transported to a recovery facility for processing.
About ARCO AluminumARCO Aluminum Inc., headquartered in Louisville, KY, is a wholly owned subsidiary of BP Company North America, Inc. BP acquired ARCO in 2000. ARCO Aluminum's origins date back to its own 1977 acquisition of Anaconda Mining Co. ARCO produces its rolled can sheet exclusively at the Logan Aluminum rolling mill as part of a joint venture manufacturing entity.
About Anheuser-BuschBased in St. Louis, Anheuser‑Busch is the leading American brewer, holding a 48.5 percent share of U.S. beer sales. The company brews the world's largest-selling beers, Budweiser and Bud Light. Anheuser‑Busch is a major manufacturer of aluminum cans and one of the world's largest recyclers of aluminum cans.

So as my friend Aanand put it, Neal Stephenson, one of my very favourite authors, has just won Kickstarter. Kickstarter is over now. We have to move onto something else.
Amidst the many and varied crowdfunded projects jostling for attention on the site, here is Stephenson's pitch for CLANG, the swordfighting game with its own peripheral.
Yes, that was Gabe Newell who appeared with the crowbar at the end, the head of Valve, the company that made Half-Life. And Portal.
And Half-Life 2. And Portal 2.
Here's even more detail from Stephenson, presented in his precise, down-to-earth and authoritative style.
I'm now starting to wish that this man was in charge of developing videogames all the time.
A video like this just makes me excited about Stephenson all over again, but it's also an excitement chain-reaction for me, because it involves Stephenson, it involves games, it involves swords and it involves games about swords. I've nurtured a secret love for swords and swordfighting for about a decade now, and to see someone who has researched it so rigorously and intensely now try to create this way of sharing it… well. Well.
Should you wish to contribute to Stephenson's Pocket, the Kickstarter page is here.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We were able to share a photo of our wedding via our thank you notes to all the friends and family who couldn't make it to our wedding. Everyone commented on how nice the photo was. The font color even matched my bouquet!"
"This Thank You card was great! Our color was gold so I was happy to find something in that color family. The designer worked to scale my photo and sent me a proof. Paper quality and printing are great. Everyone who has received it has loved it."
"These thank you cards are so beautiful! I was very impressed with the quality of the paper and the photo quality. I also very much appreciate the option to customize the fonts, as I was able to use the same font for all my wedding stationary. The only thing I would mention is that the cards are smaller than I thought they would be - my mistake for not reading the dimensions properly. I assumed it was a 5 x 7 card, but it is actually much smaller. Chose your photos with that in mind -close up shots actually work much better than full length shots."
"Our thank you cards turned out beautiful!! The photo quality and colors are perfect. All four photos are very vibrate with the actual colors from the photos! We couldn't be happier with what we ordered. All of our products that we ordered from wedding paper divas turned out amazing! We got lots of compliments on our save the date cards, wedding invitations and will probably get lots of compliments on our thank you cards when our guests receive them!!"
"The glitter is just printed, so I was just a tad disappointed at that, but otherwise, these are great! I only ordered a sample of these, but I think they are super classy and cute and will be purchasing them as our thank you cards! Super quick shipping on the samples, let's hope the actual order gets here as quick!"

When you think of Bonnaroo, you probably think of young crowds decked in bandanas, painted faces and tie-dye tank tops. A lot of music fans said in a crowd this varied, you'll even see a few attendees finger painting and playing in the sandbox.
"Out of all the festivals, this is the most family-oriented festival, and it feels the safest," said one mom at Bonnaroo on Friday.
For many in the sea of people, Bonnaroo's all about music pulsing, hands in the air, mouthing along, light shows, dancing like no one's watching, washing off and going to do it all again.
For mom Morgan Thocher and daughter, Sloane, taking part in the fine art of finger painting is more their speed.
"She's 3-years-old, and this is her third Bonnaroo," said Thocher. "When we came, they had the kids' tent with all this stuff for them to do, and it made us feel a little bit better."
"Bonnaroo encourages positivity and togetherness," said another mom, bringing her daughter to Bonnaroo for the first time. "We're all musicians and artists. It's already what she's used to, she's just at home here."
Thocher said she likes her daughter being in the middle of so much culture and art.
"I want her to grow up with more musical influences and have music a part of her life," said Thocher.
Thocher said her hope is that she and her little girl will always have a special bond through Bonnaroo.
"I hope so. So when she gets older, she can enjoy the music with us too," she said.
For now, Thocher said paint tubes and brushes will suit them just fine.
"Bonnaroo's just like raising a kid," she said. "It's messy. It's dirty. It's sweaty. But it's so much fun."

The role of damage on the mechanical response of a heterogeneous material was investigated through both mechanical testing and x-ray tomography. X-ray tomography was used to obtain quantitative information on the evolution of damage through processes occurring at both the local and global scale. The results indicate that heterogeneity in the spatial distribution of particles does influence the damage process. However, the influence of having one particle or more interacting with another is limited to reducing the tensile deformation required to initiate damage. The rate at which damage evolves is similar for both isolated and non-isolated particles and increasing the number of neighbors around a non-isolated particle was determined to have no additional influence on the evolution of damage. These results, coupled with mechanical testing measurements of both global and local properties, were used to develop models describing the flow response of composite materials as damage accumulates. Models were developed to predict the effects of both particle multiple cracking and micro-crack linkage on the composite flow response. The models predict that both damage processes reduce the load bearing capability of the material over that of an undamaged composite, however the loss in load bearing capability is much more severe when micro-crack linkage occurs. Micro-crack linkage rapidly leads to a loss in global stability so that the strain at which the composite fails is significantly less than previous models suggest. The experimental behavior of the composite materials investigated in the modelling work favors that predicted by the micro-crack linkage model. Ductility predictions resulting from the micro-crack linkage model were sensitive to both the volume fraction and the matrix work hardening exponent. By varying the matrix work hardening exponent the micro-crack linkage model captured the experimentally observed range of ductility values present in literature.

Highly reccommended! I have very sensitive skin, adult acne, rosecea, irritations from chemicals, etc. The facial cleansing lotion cleansed my face without stripping it and left it feeling smooth and soft. The facial toner was gentle and soothing. The moisturizing lotion moisturized without leaving a greasy feel and did not break my face out! My pores are shrinking and I don't have to wear makeup now! The sensitive skin line is a lifesaver!I will always use this!
Not too shabby

This set is perfect for trying a new product. It works really well at cleansing and moisturizing with out irritating my sensitive skin. Many products say dermatologist approved and Im still left with dry redness all over my face but not with aubrey organics. My only complaint is that I need exfoliation that this doesnt provide but not many products do unless stated. It has a very creamy texture with a fresh smell of lemon. Id recomend giving it a try.

One day Eric Hsu from XS Engineering gave us a call to tell us about a new product they've been installing on a lot of cars.
"Dude, you have to check out these Hyper Ground System cables."
"What do they do?"
"It replaces any car's grounding system and makes horsepower through reduced electrical resistance."
"No way! You're full of s..."
"Believe it. Come over here and I'll show you."
Knowing the XS Engineering crew isn't new to making horsepower, we gave them the benefit of the doubt and took a short trip to see for ourselves exactly what Eric was talking about.
The Hyper Ground System is actually manufactured by Sun Automobile in Japan, a recognized manufacturer of high-quality aftermarket accessories. Sun also manufactures OEM parts for Mitsubishi, Nissan and Toyota.
We discovered the Hyper Ground System is exactly what Eric said it would be: a series of high-quality ground cables. Being that the Hyper Ground System is only a series of ground cables, it's a safe and reliable upgrade that provides lower resistance in the ground path.
Sun Auto claims a better grounding path helps the engine produce more power, improves gas mileage, increases engine response and improves engine starting.
One of the biggest misnomers is that most enthusiasts don't realize that the amount of the electrical current that runs through the negative battery terminal is equal to that running through the positive end. When you install a higher performance ignition system or sound system there is a higher demand of electrical current running through the battery terminals.
You wouldn't want to install a 2-gauge power wire for your sound system and a 20-gauge on the negative side, right? So why would you do the same for the engine?
What's so special about the Hyper Ground System and why can't you use any old wire to do the same thing? The high quality wires provided by Sun Auto are constructed of almost pure copper. Since electrons travel only on the outside of each strand of wire, each Hyper Ground wire uses 1477 strands of 99-percent pure copper wire. Other grounding systems use less than 300 strands and some other brands use only aluminum wire that costs less, but doesn't perform nearly as well as copper wire. Even the accessories included with the kit (e.g. battery adaptor terminals, wire lugs, etc.) are made of almost pure copper.
To keep the electrons inside the wire, the silver and gold-colored Hyper Grounds utilize three layers of shielding to prevent electron leakage. Red, blue and yellow Hyper Grounds use two layers of shielding. Even if you tried to use good old amplifier power wire, it wouldn't be as effective as the Hyper Ground System.
In addition, Sun Auto exclusively owns the international patent for the daisy chain type of grounding system. Other ground systems must either make a circle (i.e. start at one point, and return to the originating point) or use a distribution block and then distribute the ground wires throughout the engine. The Hyper Ground System allows a cleaner installation because of the method of installation.
All of this sounds great on paper, but as with anything else that sounds too good to be true, we needed to see some proof. Still a bit skeptical, we dyno-tested several cars before and after on XS Engineering's dynamometer.
Installation is relatively easy and requires only simple hand tools. The cables are attached to the ground points in a series or in daisy-chain configuration with one cable directly attached to the next. A supplied battery terminal adaptor mounts on the negative post of the battery.
From there, two cables attach to the terminal adaptor, with one attaching to the chassis and the other attaching to the first ground point. Then the Hyper Ground cables should be attached to the intake manifold, head, block, transmission and finally the opposite shock tower or any other point on the chassis.

In no particular order:
- Let people own their projects/efforts/tasks. Even if you could do it better. Even if the result is not exactly, precisely, perfectly what you thought you wanted. Most of the time, if the result is 90% of where you wanted it (completeness, style, content), it'll do.
- Don't take people's work output and tweak it unless it's absolutely necessary. You don't always have to visibly "add value" to be legitimate or respected.
- You need to be a collaborator at least as much as a critic. Solve problems together with your team. That doesn't mean do their work for them, but it means actively being there, understanding the issues, and helping figure out course corrections, not merely waiting to evaluate results.
- Don't suck up all the oxygen in the room. Let others talk, shine, steer. There's no rule that says that the most senior person in the room has to run the meeting, for example.
- Most people need regular shots of both thanks and praise. Thanks and praise are not the same.
- Not everyone is motivated the exact same way. Your approach to a situation can and usually should differ, depending on what motivates the person you're dealing with.
- It's helpful to assume that your team is collectively and individually smarter than you are, but that they're possibly not as aware of or focused on the big picture. You're there to confirm (and guide) that what they're doing corresponds to the larger goals.
- Each of your team members has ideas and experience and expertise and smart things to say. Listen, don't just talk.
- Keep ever mindful of the following: you will (almost) never have a team member who doesn't at heart want to excel in their role.
- Remember: as an executive, you're there (almost solely) for three basic things: to set the fundamental direction, to allocate resources appropriately, and to make the tough decisions that others won't or can't. People are looking to you to do those specific things, reliably and well. Don't let them down.
- Give people a lot of rope, whenever you can. Particularly when they have passion and excitement. Find ways to say yes to their approaches and initiative, to every reasonable degree.
- Embrace and exemplify continuous improvement as a philosophy and approach to all things.
- Celebrate successes. Guide people past their failures, and make those into positive learning experiences as much as you can. This one sounds easy, but was among the hardest for me to absorb.
- "Managing upwards" and sideways (peers, CEO, board) is every bit as important as managing your team. But it's not an either/or. Depending on the circumstances, there will be times when you focus more on one than the other; both are equally deserving of your energy.
- Admit your mistakes. Don't stonewall or rewrite history about them.
- Speak positively of your team members, of peers, of management, of vendors. When you don't, people notice, and they extrapolate.
Did this list strike any nerve? Did any specific examples come to mind, where you've seen executives or other managers fall down on some of these items? I thought so. The list could easily be longer, of course, and I look forward to the comments that will almost certainly mention a few areas I've neglected to cover.

Why Amazon isn't Netflix
While the post-earnings fallout at Amazon rivaled that of Netflix, the two companies are nothing alike.
By Jeanine Poggi, TheStreet
Amazon (AMZN) is nothing like Netflix (NFLX).
Despite a similar after-hours massacre following its third-quarter earnings report and a blurry fourth-quarter outlook that could turn out to be a loss, Amazon's business isn't broken like Netflix's is.
Amazon's profit miss, thinning margins and disappointing fourth-quarter forecast are solely products of the company investing in expansion and seem to have little to do with its customers.
In fact, active customers increased by 26% during the quarter to 152 million, which is the fastest growth since early 2004.
"We believe active customers are a strong indicator of the underlying health of the Amazon platform," Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Justin Post wrote in a note.
Related Articles
And fundamental demand, though slowing, remains sound, with unit growth at 53%.
There are also some early indications that its investments are paying off, with U.S. media sales growing 21% to $4.15 billion. Amazon also said it is adding 17 new fulfillment centers in 2011, compared with its prior plan of 15.
In fact, the money Amazon is investing in the Kindle Fire, fulfillment centers and its web services is expected to only build customer loyalty.
Kindle Fire users will receive one month free of Amazon Prime, a tactic used to get more people to sign up for the $79-a-year service. Amazon Prime members receive free two-day shipping on purchases, as well as access to about 12,000 (and growing) streaming movies and television shows.
Currently, Amazon Prime boasts about 12 million members who buy four times more merchandise from the e-commerce giant than the regular shopper, according to ChannelAdvisor, an e-commerce business software firm.
Bank of America's Post estimates that an active Amazon shopper spends about $115 per year on media, and that tablet users will spend about 50% more on books, movies, music and games. This could add about $60 a year in annual media sales per Fire customer.
While Netflix, in comparison, beat third-quarter estimates on both the top and bottom line, its domestic subscriber base is waning following several strategic blunders. Higher subscription rates, the upcoming removal of Liberty Starz content and the company's hasty move to split the business and subsequent abandonment of that plan have all led to irate subscribers who have lost confidence in the brand and its leader Reed Hastings.
Netflix ended the third quarter with 23.8 million domestic users, below its revised forecast of 24 million U.S. subscribers. And subscriber attrition is expected to accelerate, with Netflix foreseeing domestic subscribers dropping to between 20 million and 21.5 million in the fourth quarter.
Like Amazon, Netflix is also unsure of its profitability in the near-term because of investment in international growth. Content costs are also pressuring the bottom line, as the company looks to acquire new, relevant movies and television shows.
The problem is, without consumers backing them up, there is significantly less certainty that its investments will pay off.
Netflix also has several new competitors entering the market (including Amazon). With sentiment as low as it is, it is highly likely even more subscribers will jump ship when a viable alternative comes along.
Yes, both companies are in a transitory stage. But one (Netflix) is transitioning out of necessity, while the other (Amazon) is doing so to stay ahead of the curve.

Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren says drafting former Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden with the 22nd overall pick in the first round of last month's NFL Draft wasn't the original plan for the pick. On a Cleveland radio station Tuesday, Holmgren said that the plan had been to draft Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright, who was scooped up two slots earlier by the Tennessee Titans. "Like most drafts it didn't quite happen that way," Holmgren says. "So we went to Plan B which we talked about and we weren't going to wait on Weeden so we picked him at 22." Holmgren says Weeden's production at Oklahoma State speaks for itself, but that wasn't the only reason they liked him. "I think the thing that puts you over the top with him is his maturity and of course he's older. His maturity stands out and that's impressive. You say if anyone can come in, and I told him this, 'we're not just going to hand it to you. You have to earn it.' We have good quarterbacks here in my opinion already but you have to earn this. He's 28-years-old, he has that maturity and he gets it. When we realized that or felt that then it was an easy call. I think he's got a bright future." Weeden won't be thrown to the wolves without talent, either. The Browns picked up one of the top draft picks in running back Trent Richardson out of Alabama and Holmgren believes the team has solid receivers that will get the job done.

Montville - State police in Montville said a chain reaction, multi-car accident that shut down Interstate 395 south Friday morning in the area of Exit 79 was caused by a blown tire.
Police said Sylvia Feliciano, 40, of 444 E. Main St., Norwich, was driving a 2001 Buick Century when she stopped in the left lane after her tire blew out, causing a five-car collision. The accident was reported at 9:36 a.m.
Sejalben Patel, 33, of 39 Cliff St., one of the drivers involved in the crash, was taken to the William W. Backus Hospital for neck and back pain.
Police said about 20 minutes after the initial accident Jeffrey Hill, 57, of Baltic was trying to avoid the accident when he struck another car from behind. Police cited Hill with driving without a license and gave him a verbal warning for driving too closely.
No other injuries were reported in the accidents. Police said charges are pending.

Improve your lawn. Eliminate weeds and keep them away with minimum time and effort by choosing the proper herbicide and applying it in a timely way. This works for both grassy weeds and broadleaf weeds.
Crabgrass is one example of a common, troublesome weed.
When my wife and I bought our house, the lawn was filled with weeds. Dandelions and
ground ivy mostly, with a few generous patches of clover and thistles. I poured some
weed killer into a dial-up sprayer, hooked the sprayer up to my outdoor spigot,
doused the entire lawn, and an hour later I was done. Within a couple of days, the weeds were wilting,
and they didn't grow back after I mowed them. Not bad for an hour's worth of weed treatment!
While I don't claim to have the best-looking lawn on the block (my neighbor is a lawn fanatic!), it
is weed free. In this story, we'll show you how to kill your weeds in an hour or less. Although there are
hundreds of kinds of weeds, they all fall into one of three categories—broadleaf, annual grassy weeds
or perennial grassy weeds—and specific types of herbicides target each weed group.
Whether you want to eliminate weeds before they start growing again (early in the year is the best
time to attack weeds) or kill weeds that are already overtaking your lawn, we'll show you how. Most
of the weed treatments you need are available at home centers, and the others at garden centers. — Brett Martin, editor.
Spills will kill your grass. Park your spreader on a tarp
or driveway when filling to avoid herbicide overdoses.
A broadleaf weed is any undesirable lawn plant that isn't a grass. The plants have actual leaves on stems, and contrary
to the name, many have narrow rather than "broad" leaves. Dandelions, plantain, ground ivy (creeping charlie)
and ragweed are a few of the most common broadleaf weeds.
Before broadleaf weeds start growing in the spring, apply a
product called Hi-Yield Turf & Ornamental Weed & Grass
Stopper Containing Dimension, which is a preemergent herbicide.
It kills weeds before they sprout from seed and even
kills some weeds that have just started to grow. Spread the
product on the yard between your first and third mowings in
the spring. The company says a single application will last a
full 120-day season. This is as close to a one-size-fits-all
magic bullet as you'll find for eliminating annual weeds. No
other product on the market will target both broadleaf and
annual grassy weeds and stop them from growing. It's available
at lawn and garden centers (call first to make sure). A 35-lb. bag treats up to 15,000 sq. ft.
Park your broadcast spreader over a tarp or on the driveway
(grains may leak out, and a heavy dose of herbicide on
the yard can kill even healthy grass). Fill the spreader (Photo
1) and distribute the herbicide evenly over your lawn.
Spot-kill broadleaf weeds using a trigger-controlled
pump sprayer until a mist forms on the leaves.
If a few broadleaves pop up in the yard (you can always count
on a few dandelions), spot-kill them with a post-emergence
herbicide such as Ortho's Weed-B-Gon MAX (a 32-oz. bottle of
concentrate covers 16,000 sq. ft.). Look on the label for
"broadleaf killer" then check to see which weeds it targets.
Some broadleaf herbicides also kill crabgrass. There's no
need to treat the entire lawn, just the weedy areas. Don't let
them spread and create a bigger problem.
Premixed herbicides are OK if you have a small lawn and
only a few weeds. Otherwise, buy concentrates to mix yourself—
they're a better value. Wait until the temperature is
between 60 and 85 degrees F. (The herbicide vaporizes too
soon in high temps, and weeds don't grow fast enough in low
temps to absorb the chemicals.) Mix the herbicide with water
(follow the directions) and pour it into a small pump sprayer. Keep the nozzle 6 to 12 in. from the weed and
spray until the leaves are slightly wet (Photo 2).
Cover large areas fast with a dial sprayer attached to
a garden hose. Avoid spraying on a windy day so it
won't drift onto (and kill) nearby plants.
Ground ivy (often called "creeping charlie") is a common, tough-to-control weed.
If your lawn has lots of weeds scattered over
large areas, don't waste time spot-spraying individual
weeds. Killing the weeds is as quick and easy as spraying the
weedy area with a hose.
Pour a concentrated postemergence herbicide (the same
kind you used for spot-spraying) into a dial sprayer and
set the dial on the lid to the manufacturer's recommended
mixture (such as 2 tablespoons per gallon of water). Attach
the sprayer to a garden hose, turn on the water, and apply an
even treatment to the weedy areas in the yard (Photo 3).
Apply the herbicide when the weeds are actively growing in
the late spring and early summer. You don't need to drench
the weeds. A light misting will kill most weeds (if it doesn't,
give them a second dose in a week). Spray only on a calm day.
Even a slight breeze can carry vapors that can kill plants (anything
that kills broadleaf weeds will also kill flowers or decorative
plants and could harm trees, so watch for overspray).
Tip: Only spray the weedy
areas of the yard—
not the entire lawn.
You'll introduce less
herbicide into the
Crabgrass is one of the most common annual grassy weeds.
Annual grassy weeds sprout from seed each year. The weed dies in the fall,
leaving behind seeds that germinate the following spring. Crabgrass is the most
notorious grassy weed, but there are others, like yellow foxtail and nutgrass.
Use a preemergent herbicide to kill annual grassy weed seeds
in the spring before they germinate. Crabgrass preventer is
the most common, but you might as well apply a herbicide
containing Dimension in the spring because it also kills
broadleaf weed seeds. Crabgrass often thrives along sidewalks
and driveways because the ground is warmer there, so be sure
to apply herbicide in those areas.
Spray a second dose on weeds that survive the first
spraying. Hunt for survivors seven days after spraying.
The best way to handle a few scattered annual grassy weeds is
to spot-kill them with a postemergence herbicide that's formulated
for grassy weeds, such as Ortho's Grass-B-Gon. Look for Grass Weed Killer or Crabgrass Killer
on the label (Crabgrass Killer kills other grassy weeds too).
Mix the concentrated herbicide with water (per manufacturer's
directions), then pour the mixture into a handheld
sprayer. Spray the individual patches of weeds (Photo
1). To ensure that
there's plenty of plant
material to absorb the
weed killer, don't mow the weeds just before applying the
herbicide or for three days after. If you don't kill annual
grassy weeds now, you can expect them to seed and produce
even more weeds next year.
Tip: Always read the
herbicide's label
before applying to
make sure it will
kill the targeted
weeds and not
harm your lawn.
Save money by mixing concentrated herbicides rather
than using premixed versions. Concentrates give you
about 60 percent more herbicide for your buck.
There's only one remedy for yards taken over by grassy
Weeds—spray the entire lawn with a postemergence herbicide
(like the ones used in the "Late" stage). Mix the concentrate
with water in a pump sprayer (Photo 2).
Spray the yard with the herbicide in the late spring or summer.
Apply just enough to get the weeds slightly wet. The
weeds should start to die within five to seven days. Spot-kill
any weeds that are still growing after seven days.
Apply herbicide to perennial grasses without killing the
surrounding grass. Wear a cloth glove over a rubber
glove. Dip your gloved hand in the herbicide and wipe it on.
Perennial grassy weeds come back every year, just like your lawn grass, and are the
toughest weeds to deal with. That's because the herbicides that kill these weeds will
also kill your grass. Perennial grassy weeds like Dallis grass and quack grass have
deep, expansive root systems that make it impossible to kill them by pulling them out.
Quack grass is easy to identify—three or four days after you've mowed your yard, quack
grass will be noticeably taller than the surrounding grass
Early Season
To spot-kill the weeds, apply a nonselective herbicide, such as
Roundup. Nonselective herbicides
kill plants and weeds alike, so it has to be applied to the individual
weeds by hand. Wearing cloth gloves over plastic
gloves, wipe the herbicide directly onto the weed (Photo 1).
Don't worry about covering every single blade. As long as you
get most of them, the herbicide will absorb into the weed. It'll
take seven to ten days before the weed starts to die. If it's not
dead after two weeks, wipe on a second treatment.
Late Season
The solution is the same later in the year. But the longer you
wait, the more work you'll have since these grasses continue to
spread all spring and summer. The herbicide is most effective
early in the season when grasses grow the fastest. As the weeds
take root and become sturdier, they may require more applications
to fully kill.
Spray herbicide to kill patches of perennial grassy
weeds. Mow the weeds after they're dead, then plant
grass seed in the area.
Once there are too many weeds
to spot-treat by hand, it's time
for draconian measures. Kill
everything and start over.
Spray a nonselective herbicide
on the weedy area
(Photo 2). Wait two weeks. If
they're not dead, spray them again.
Once the weeds are dead, mow
them as short as possible. After
spraying the herbicide, wait 14 days
to plant new grass so the herbicide
won't kill it.
Photo 1: Wet the bare spot
Photo 2: Cover the seed
Photo 3: Spread a faster growth mix
Killing large patches of
weedy areas is going to leave
bare spots in your yard that
will need to be replanted
with grass. The best times to
reseed are the spring or fall
when the temperature is 60
to 70 degrees F. To start,
water the bare spot until it's
wet to a depth of at least
3-1/2 in. Water at intervals
throughout the day (for
about 15 minutes every two
to three hours) rather than
continuously. With constant
soaking, the water just runs
off. Check the depth of the
water penetration by digging
into the ground and lifting up
the soil (Photo 1). You'll be
able to see or feel how deep
the water has seeped in.
Make a series of 3/8-in.-
deep recesses in the ground,
1 in. apart, with a square-head
shovel. Spread the grass
seed over the bare spot. Then
flip over a garden rake and
use the "knuckles" to cover
the seed with soil (Photo 2).
Lightly water the area in the
morning and evening until
the grass starts to grow in.
If you want the seed to
grow fast, plant Scotts
PatchMaster, which is grass seed
with fertilizer and mulch to
keep the seed from drying. After making the recesses
in the ground, spread PatchMaster seed over the bare
spot (Photo 3). Water twice daily.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You may need a broadcast spreader, a small pump sprayer, a 1-2 gal. pump sprayer, a dial sprayer, a garden hose, a shovel, a plastic bucket, rubber gloves and/or a cloth glove.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Dragonflies and damselflies are the helicopters of the insect world. With their bulging eyes, long tails, and tapered wings, they look like helicopters. In fact, they maneuver like helicopters too. They can fly backwards and change direction in just one body length of air space. They can glide, hover in midair, and make sharp turns. Some can fly up to 35 miles per hour.
Like all insects, damselflies and dragonflies have six legs, two pairs of wings, two antennae, and three body parts - head, thorax, and abdomen. They wear their skeletons on the outside of their bodies. This tough outer covering is called an exoskeleton.
Dragonflies and damselflies live in and near ponds, streams, and lakes. Of 5,500 species of dragonflies worldwide, 86 are known to live in Minnesota. Minnesota counties with the most known species of dragonflies are Anoka, Washington, Pine, Lake Clearwater, and Cook.
A dragonfly's life begins as an egg laid underwater.The egg hatches into a nymph. The nymph eats tadpoles and minnows. The growing nymph molts its exoskeleton, just as a snake sheds its skin. The nymph crawls out of the water onto a plant, rock, or log and molts one last time. Its abdomen inflates and blood flows into its wings, which slowly unfold, dry, and stiffen. This transformation from egg to adult is called metamorphosis. These creatures may live as nymphs for two years. While flying, the male fertilizes the eggs of the female. The male holds onto the female as she deposits her eggs in the water.
The University of Minnesota Insect Collection has about 2,865,000 insect specimens, representing 43,000 species found in the United States and many other parts of the world.
The collection started in 1897 with insects and spiders from the North Shore of Lake Superior. Current staff members have made expeditions to collect insects in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, French Guiana, and Trinidad, making this one of North America's major collections.
University research and teaching programs use the collection.
People who study insects are called entomologists. The Young Entomologists' Society is a non-profit group that helps young people study insects. For membership information, contact Y.E.S. Inc. at email@example.com.
Also available from YES is Creepy Crawlies and the Scientific Method by Sally Stenhouse Kneidel. This book for teachers tells how to study pond ecology in the classroom. The book describes more than 100 hands-on experiments for children.
A Naturalist's Eye for Dragons
State park naturalist Mark Carroll has been interested in dragonflies and other insects since he was a kid. In the clover fields near his house, Mark and his friends had contests to see who could get the most bumblebees into a jar. Mark's mother made him a butterfly net and turned old shoe boxes into storage containers for his collections. On the kitchen table, he raised monarch butterflies.
As a student at St. Cloud State University, Mark studied all kinds of wildlife. He worked on a study of restored wetlands - ones that people drained of water and later fixed to hold water again. He wanted to see how quickly aquatic insects came to live in the restored wetlands. Mark made maps to show other researchers where different dragonfly species live in Minnesota.
Mark earned a bachelor's degree in earth sciences and a master's in biology, then joined the Department of Natural Resources as a naturalist.
At Sibley State Park in west-central Minnesota where he works, Mark has counted more than a dozen species of dragonflies. He shows dragonfly slides and takes park visitors on hikes to see what he calls "dragons in the air." To find out more, call the DNR Information Center at 651-296-6157 or 1-888-646-6367.

The Edmonton Oilers have a plethora of young forwards in the CHL this season trying to make their way through the system to pro hockey. Some have signed their pro contracts (most recently Mitchell Moroz) and others are still in the starting blocks. Here's a look at the boxcars.
- Greg Chase (WHL) 55, 29-34-63 1.15
- Mitchell Moroz (WHL) 54, 29-24-53 .981 (draft year + 2)
- Marco Roy (QMJHL) 26, 7-17-24 .923
- Jackson Houck (WHL) 55, 27-15-42 .764
- Jujhar Khaira (WHL) 43, 14-18-32 .744 (draft year +2)
- Kyle Platzer (OHL) 52, 14-11-25 .481
Interesting numbers here. We don't have TOI and we can't factor in how much offense Kevin Konstantine's system costs Jujhar Khaira. We know Kyle Platzer's offense has increased since he was traded to Owen Sound, but we can't factor that either. That said, the boxcars do indicate nice seasons for Chase and Moroz, with Roy doing well before injury and less so since returning.
- Mitchell Moroz (WHL) 54, 23-21-44 .815 (draft year +2)
- Greg Chase (WHL) 55, 21-22-43 .782
- Jackson Houck (WHL) 55, 23-10-33 .600
- Marco Roy (QMJHL) 26, 3-12-15 .577
- Jujhar Khaira (WHL) 43, 8-11-19 .442 (draft year +2)
- Kyle Platzer (OHL) 52, 8-9-17 .327
This is just even-strength points. Interesting that Chase continues to show so well, and that Moroz isn't getting a lot of his offense from the power play even as a senior. Roy lost a lot of offense to that injury, I'll be interested in seeing where he ranks at the end of the year. Houck hasn't received a lot of attention, but is one of three players on this list to have score more than 20 EV goals. Impressive.
NHLE FOR CHL FORWARDS (OILER DRAFT PICKS) USING VOLLMAN METHOD (per 82gp)
- Greg Chase 13-15-28
- Mitchell Moroz 13-11-24
- Marco Roy 7-15-22
- Jackson Houck 12-7-19
- Jujhar Khaira 8-10-18
- Kyle Platzer 7-5-12
Chase is the class of the forward group. He was a late pick, but that and $1.50 will get you a small double double. Chase is more productive than Roy offensively, is slightly ahead of Moroz and doing it a year younger (and that's a big deal) and is NOT pumping his numbers with Rob Schremp sugartits minutes on the PP.
With due respect to Bogdan Yakimov, Greg Chase wasn't born to follow. He's the best forward prospect in the system. Now.

The Good & Bad About Casino Stocks
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Casino companies have been on quite a run over the past few months. With multiples already high, the last thing you want to do is buy at the end of the bull run--even if the long-term prospects are bright. I recommend looking at whether the business is cheap relative to its discounted growth trajectory and then making an investment decision based on any upside from there. Below, I review several stocks in the business with this in mind.
Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS): The Good & Bad
As the premier casino operator, LVS is able to command a premium at 17.9x forward earnings. Analysts forecast 22.1% annual EPS growth over the next 5 years. Assuming expectations are met, 2016 EPS will come out to $4.77. At a multiple of 15x, this translates to a future stock value of $71.55. Discounting backwards by 10% yields a present value of $44.43--right around the current market assessment. Analysts are still more bullish with a reflective $62 price target by Imperial Capital on the Street.
There are several headwinds, to be sure. Wells Fargo argues that poor gaming business for Genting Singapore in the third quarter suggests softening demand. Indeed, LVS report weakening business in Singapore and a lower hold rate in the region's Marina Bay Sands. Meanwhile, in Macau, expenses have come in higher than expected. The combination of these headwinds resulted in the company missing EPS by 13 cents on $0.46.
Though free cash flow has recovered sharply form the 3Q08 trough where $3.6 billion (ttm) was lost to three years later where was $1.4 billion was gained, the yield is still very weak at 3.6%. Return on invested capital of 8.4% is also below the weighted average cost of capital, which means value is being lost. With that said, investments in future growth opportunities have yet to realize their returns.
Catalysts For MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM), Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN)
Wynn Resorts has leading exposure to Macau, which, over the years, has become 5.5x the size of the Las Vegas Strip ($33.6 billion in 2011 gaming revenue). Wynn investors look forward to the 2016 planned opening of a resort in Macau's hottest destination, Cotai. LVS, Melco, and Galaxy are already established in the region, so a strong gambling foundation is just waiting for Wynn to unleash massive growth. The resort could be upwards of $4 billion and will have 500 gaming tables, 2000 hotel rooms, 10 restaurants, and several extras.
JPMorgan recently released a report that called Wynn Resorts "seriously undervalued" and a $133 stock. At 18.6x forward earnings and 15.2% annual EPS growth over the last 5 years, Wynn is on a solid track record towards creating value. Indeed, the company is expected to grow EPS at the fastest annual rate (32.3%) among its six-strong peer group over the next 5 years. The casino operator already generates ROIC of 13.6% and hasn't even seen the fruits of its Cotai development.
By contrast, MGM Resorts is really struggling. Over the last 5 years, nine-tenths of shareholder value has been erased with no recovery in sight. Free cash flow (ttm) generation has hovered around $640 million over the last 36 months, but it is now yielding 13.6% from lost investor confidence. The stock has fallen 32.3% from its 52-week high, but the price-to-book ratio stands at just 0.9x. Analysts have also called the resort & casino operator massively undervalued. Cantor Fitzgerald has a $14 price target out on the stock--Brean Murray and Stifel Nicolaus are even more optimistic at $17 and $20, respectively. With the stock just at around $10.10, there is thus major upside.
In my view, MGM could possibly be a takeover. EPS is expected to recover to -$0.55 next year, and an acquisition ahead of profitability would take advantage of the aggressive market risk discounting. I encourage thinking like a suitor and buying now to take advantage of this potential play.

Another couple found guilty of murder for parenting by "To Train Up a Child"
Two parents in Washington state have been found guilty of murder after following the abusive parenting techniques advocated in the parenting book "To Train Up a Child"
Some of the discipline techniques the Pearls teach include:
- Using plastic tubing to beat children, since it hurts a lot but leaves fewer marks to alert authorities
- Wearing the plastic tubing around the parent's neck as a constant reminder to obey
- "Swatting" babies as young as six months old with instruments such as "a 12-inch willowy branch," thinner plastic tubing or a wooden spoon
- "Blanket training" babies by hitting them with an instrument if they try to crawl off a blanket on the floor
- Beating older children with rulers, paddles, belts and larger tree branches
- "Training" children with pain before they even disobey, in order to teach total obedience
- Giving cold water baths, putting children outside in cold weather and withholding meals as discipline
- Hosing off children who have potty training accidents
- Inflicting punishment until a child is "without breath to complain."
Please sign the petition in the article for Amazon to stop carrying books that advocate for child abuse and torture and signal boost. They need several thousand more signatures.
Sickening. Please read and sign that petition.
Dad makes daughter Wonder Woman Costume as a "fuck you" to gender role enforcing kid's party.
When invited to a birthday party whose theme required that the boys dress as superheroes and the girls as princesses, dad Jay C. Batzner came up with an awesome compromise that simultaneously stomped on the face of gender normativity and made his daughter happy. Wonder Woman, both a princess and a superhero, had long been Daria's favorite hero, so he sewed her this costume. We think this might be one of those steps to raising kickass daughters.

I'm totally jazzed about this video of David Rothenberg and crew jamming to the smooth sounds of humpback whale songs (that was my radio disk jockey impersonation! Genius idea: I could be a radio disk jockey for Halloween! That way I could stay home and send a radio to the costume party in my place)! There's an interesting interview with Rothenberg, a professor who "explores the world of interspecies music," over on the New York Times' Dot Earth blog. When I say interesting, I mean it was short enough so even I could finish it. They talk about the different issues surrounding whaling. Rothenberg stays pretty
lame diplomatic on the subject. He makes some good points about the need to navigate cultural differences in the matter.
There was one statement that sounded particularly odd to me: "No one NEEDS to eat [whale meat], but it is possible to eat such things and also love them and want to save them. That's part of the paradox of being a human being." Is that really possible? It sounds less possible and more ridiculous than an alligator barbershop quartet. I'm not trying to take a hard line on this but loving something and eating it? That's kind of a totally perverse idea and it just makes me think of cannibals and zombies.

What the mega deals really mean
The Heinz and Dell transactions may not foreshadow an M&A frenzy, but they say a lot about corporate America and the economy.
This just in: The year so far has brought with it the return of the mega deal, with $10 billion-plus transactions for the likes of Heinz (HNZ), Dell (DELL), American Airlines (AMRPQ), General Electric's (GE) stake in NBCUniversal and Virgin Media (VMED).
While the mergers, acquisitions and leveraged buyouts are of a size rarely seen since the credit bubble burst in 2007, it might be wise for investors to consider calls for a mega-merger frenzy as premature.
In fact, that's exactly what some top insiders in the M&A and private equity world are saying.
Mark Gallogly, head of private equity firm Centerbridge Partners, noted on Friday that such large acquisitions may be the exception rather than the rule, even if he expects that Wall Street is in the early stage of a post-crisis deal-making renaissance.
"These are really unusual transactions," Gallogly said of Dell's proposed $24.4 billion buyout and a $28 billion buyout acquisition of Heinz by Warren Buffett and private equity firm 3G Capital at Columbia Business School's Private Equity and Venture Capital Conference in Manhattan on Friday.
Gallogly notes that in Dell's case, the more than $5 billion in equity that company founder Michael Dell is contributing to the buyout certainly isn't the norm. Buffett's Heinz ketchup acquisition and a proposed blockbuster merger to pull American Airlines from bankruptcy also might not be symbolic of wider trends.
Still, the Centerbridge head and former senior managing director at the Blackstone Group said firms like his can expect an improving deals market ahead.
Even as some traders and analysts scour Wall Street for the next mega deal, investors ought to consider what Gallogly's comments might imply.
Notably, it could indicate further evidence of a consistent rise in valuations, improving executive and investor confidence, and a slow psychological turn to animal spirits from the crippling fear brought by the financial crisis.
In other words, status quo.
Consider that in the absence of frenzied periods of mega deals in 2012, overall M&A activity around the world ended the year roughly flat from 2011 levels, according to data provider Dealogic.
While M&A globally came in at about $2.7 trillion -- below 2008 levels in excess of $3 trillion -- the number of deals done exceeded levels from four years ago.
Even in the absence of blockbuster mergers like Heinz or Dell, private equity firms such as Carlyle Group (CG) and banks including Goldman Sachs (GS) have been hard at work in recent months.
Meanwhile, a surge in 2013 deal making may not be such an aberration from the previous year. Dealogic data show that nearly $1 trillion in transactions in the fourth quarter of 2012 was the highest quarterly total since the same period five years earlier.
Given the uncertainties in the past 12 months -- for instance, a partisan presidential election in the U.S., the so-called fiscal cliff, rising tax rates and economic woes in Europe -- the fact that the likes of Comcast (CMCSA) and Liberty Media (LBTYA) are putting money to work could signal the prospect of a post-crisis economic calamity is growing remote.
"There is a psychological effect that, in the very least, will create more deals," Brian Richards, a partner in the merger and acquisition practice at Paul Hastings, says of recent transactions. As a result of access to cheap financing and corporate balance sheets flush with cash, "there is an appetite in the marketplace for big deals."
Given Warren Buffett's commentary in the wake of Berkshire's $12 billion equity investment in the buyout of Heinz, the point is well taken.
On Thursday, the Oracle of Omaha said on CNBC he's still ready to use Berkshire's cash to bag an elephant of a deal.
Those trying to guess Buffett's next move (see TheStreet) might do well to consider food giants such as Hershey (HSY) or Campbell Soup (CPB), according to Brian Sozzi, chief equities analyst at NBG Productions (see TheStreet ).
Morningstar recently highlighted energy companies BG Group (BRGYY) and Chesapeake Energy (CHK), in addition to retail giant Kohl's (KSS), medical-products manufacturer Abiomed (ABMD) and Los Angeles-based lender City National (CYN) as some large takeover targets in 2013 (see TheStreet).
As TheStreet noted earlier in February, Morgan Stanley's (MS) proposed acquisition of a brokerage venture with Citigroup (C) could mirror the size and strategy of Comcast's deal for NBCUniversal and be yet another large 2013 merger.
For all the excitement over a flurry of February deals and the speculation of where the likes of Berkshire Hathaway will spend its money next, it might simply be wise for the ordinary investor to see a busy Wall Street as added confirmation of rising stock valuations, strengthening corporate earnings and a pickup in the economy.
