Monoclonal Antibody 8A2-Induced Retraction Appears to Be Mediated by Protein Phosphorylation in Goldfish Retinal Ganglion Cell Axons
ABSTRACT We have recently demonstrated that binding by monoclonal antibody (mAb) 8A2 to regenerating retinal ganglion cell axons in goldfish explants specifically induces a sustained, actin-based retraction response that is similar in most respects to a spontaneous retraction (S.G. Finnegan, V. Lemmon, and E. Koenig, Cell Motil. Cytoskeleton, 1992). Experiments were conducted to evaluate potential signal transduction pathways that may play a role in mediating retraction, using the mAb 8A2 retraction model system. Potential roles of cAMP, elevated intracellular calcium, or calmodulin-dependent processes were probed and the results did not appear to implicate them in either the induction or the maintenance of the axon retraction response. In contrast, treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, but not with inactive phorbol esters, induced a retraction response, although the response was more variable and less robust than that produced by mAb 8A2. However, both forms of induction were blocked by staurosporine, a nonspecific kinase inhibitor. Okadaic acid, a potent serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor produced a very robust retraction response, and subthreshold doses significantly potentiated the retraction response induced by mAb 8A2. Genistein inhibited the mAb 8A2-induced retraction response at concentrations selective for tyrosine kinase activity in a dose-dependent manner. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that an augmented phosphorylation state of one or more axonal proteins, perhaps catalyzed in part by protein kinase C, produces a sustained physiological retraction. In addition, tyrosine kinase may be involved in transducing surface-mediated interactions that trigger retraction, including the binding reaction signal of mAb 8A2.

- "but may imply that there are qualitative differences such as the involvement of different second messenger systems. In support of this idea, Finnegan and colleagues determined that collapse and retraction of goldfish retinal ganglion cell axons in response to monoclonal antibody 8A2 were not due to alteration of intracellular calcium concentration, but rather to elevated phosphorylation levels mediated by protein kinase C and a tyrosine kinase (Finnegan et al., 1993). Further studies on the proximal events in CAM-and integrin-mediated signals in growth cones are clearly required in order to understand the function of these molecules in axonal pathfinding. "
ABSTRACT: As axons advance to appropriate target tissues during development, their growth cones encounter a variety of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and extracellular matrix molecules (ECM molecules). Purified CAMs and ECM molecules influence neurite outgrowth in vitro and are thought to have a similar function in vivo. For example, when retinal ganglion cell (RGC) neurons are grown on different CAM and ECM molecule substrates in vitro, their growth cones display distinctive morphologies (Payne et al., 1992). Similarly, RGC growth cones in vivo have distinctive shapes at different points in the pathway from the eye to the tectum, suggesting the presence of localized cues that determine growth cone behaviors such as pathway selection at choice points. In this report, time-lapse video microscopy was utilized to examine dynamic transformations of RGC growth cones as they progressed from L1/8D9, N-cadherin, or laminin onto a different substrate. Contact made by the leading edge of a growth cone with a new substrate resulted in a rapid and dramatic alteration in growth cone morphology. In some cases, the changes encompassed the entire growth cone including those regions not in direct contact with the new substrate. In addition, the growth cones displayed a variety of behavioral responses that were dependent upon the order of substrate contact. These studies demonstrate that growth cones are actively affected by the substrate, and suggest that abrupt changes in the molecular composition of the growth cone environment are influential during axonal pathfinding.The Journal of Neuroscience : The Official Journal of the Society for Neuroscience 07/1995; 15(6):4370-81. · 6.34 Impact Factor
- "CRYPα could be either antagonising the action of PTKs or, given the ability of R-PTPs CD45 and PTPα to activate src-family PTKs (Mustelin et al., 1989; Den et al., 1993), CRYPα could be having an agonistic effect on src-related PTKs of axons. Given the proposed role of PTKs in axonal growth, guidance, and retraction (Gertler et al., 1989; Bixby and Jhabvala, 1993; Finnegan et al., 1993; Miller et al., 1993; Smalheiser, 1993; Ignelzi et al., 1994; Williams et al., 1994c), it is not difficult to place this phosphatase into a regulatory scenario. As well as PTKs as potential axonal targets, one cytoskeletal target of phosphatases may be tubulin, the microtubule protein which is phosphorylated by pp60 c-src under the influence of CAMs (Matten et al., 1990; Atashi et al., 1992). "
Article: Axonal localisation of the CAM-like tyrosine phosphatase CRYPα: A signalling molecule of embryonic growth cones[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Migrating embryonic growth cones require multiple, membrane-associated signalling molecules to monitor and respond to guidance cues. Here we present the first evidence that vertebrate cell adhesion molecule-like protein tyrosine phosphatases are likely to be components of this signalling system. CRYP alpha, the gene for an avian cell adhesion molecule-like phosphatase, is strongly expressed in the embryonic nervous system. In this study we have immunolocalised the protein in the early chick embryo and demonstrated its predominant localisation in axons of the central and peripheral nervous systems. This location suggests that the major, early role of the enzyme is in axonal development. In a study of sensory neurites in culture, we furthermore show that this phosphatase localises in migrating growth cones, within both the lamellipodia and filopodia. The dependence of growth cone migration on both cell adhesion and signalling through phosphotyrosine turnover, places the cell adhesion molecule-like CRYP alpha phosphatase in a position to be a regulator of these processes.Development 07/1995; 121(6):1833-44. · 6.46 Impact Factor
Article: Characterization of the retraction response of goldfish retinal ganglion cell axons induced by monoclonal antibody 8A2 in vitro[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Retraction similar to that occurring spontaneously in senescent axonal fields of goldfish regenerating ganglion cell axons is reliably induced by monoclonal antibody (mAb) 8A2. The retraction response is characterized by transformation of the growth cone into a nodular motile mass, which undergoes retrograde translocation in conjunction with the contiguous column of axoplasm, generating evacuated distal strands. The growth cone-to-motile mass transformation involves a reorganization of F-actin. In addition, the reorganization of F-actin is a necessary antecedent for retrograde bulk translocation of axoplasm. Contractile tension contributes to compaction within the motile mass, while that within the column of distal axoplasm is oriented longitudinally and appears to contribute to bulk movement. As a derivative of the growth cone, the motile mass exhibits protrusive activities and a capacity to translocate independently when microtubules are partially disrupted. Apparent compressive forces cause buckling of microtubules in the adjacent segment which appear as elbow-like protrusions. Cytochalasin D blocks mAb 8A2 induced retraction and immediately arrests retrograde translocation when it is in progress; however, neither nocodazole nor taxol blocks retraction. Phalloidin and immunofluorescence double labeling of retracted axons reveals that myosin 11, MLCK, and calmodulin co-localize with dense F-actin structures within the motile mass. These results suggest that microtubules play a subordinate, passive role, and that actomyosin interactions mediate the formation of the motile mass and the retraction response. Finally, axons grown on laminin exhibit a more robust retraction response than those grown on polylysine, implicating membrane-cytoskeletal interactions as modulating factors. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.Cell Motility and the Cytoskeleton 01/1992; 23(4):279-301.

BALTIMORE — The group ACORN has fired two employees who were seen on hidden-camera video giving tax advice to a man posing as a pimp and a woman who pretended to be a prostitute.
Fox News Channel broadcast excerpts from the video Thursday. On the video, a man and woman visiting ACORN's Baltimore office asked about buying a house and how to account on tax forms for the woman's income.
An ACORN employee advised the woman to list her occupation as "performance artist."
The pair also said they planned to employ teenage girls from central America as prostitutes, and an ACORN employee suggested that up to three of the girls could be claimed as dependents, according to transcripts of the video posted online by conservative activist James O'Keefe.
O'Keefe told Fox he posed as the pimp and that he was shocked by the ACORN employees' helpfulness.
In a statement, ACORN Maryland board member Margaret Williams said the video was an attempt to smear ACORN and that undercover teams attempted similar setups in at least three other ACORN offices.
Williams said no tax returns were filed and no assistance was provided.
ACORN — which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now — advocates for poor people. It conducted a massive voter registration effort last year and became a target of conservatives when some employees were accused of submitting false registration forms with names such as "Mickey Mouse."
ACORN has said only a handful of employees submitted false registration forms and did so in a bid to boost their pay.

Can't believe I went more than a month without posting but I've been in dental reconstruction hell, as well as very busy at work. That said, here's a few new and old things that I've been cranking in the Basement Studio recently.
I have certainly slacked off in blogland as I've been so very busy the last week. I have to laugh when I think back to starting this blog and thinking I could actually post something every day. In truth, some days I just have nothing left to offer up by the time I finally get to relax. That said, I couldn't let another day pass without a little tribute to Andrew Gold, who passed at the tender age of 59 of an apparent heart attack, a mere 4 years older than me.
I almost talked Andrew into doing a Loft Session about 6 or 7 years ago but after some tentative plans, it just kind of faded away. He was a fairly amazing musician, fluent on a variety of instruments and I became a fan instantly upon hearing his song "One Of Them Is Me." Here's a link to the New York Times obit.
He also made a couple of great records with his friends Wendy Waldman, Karla Bonoff and the late Kenny Edwards as Bryndle.
His 80s collaboration with Graham Gouldman (10cc/legendary songwriter) as Wax UK (here in The States) produced 3 synth-heavy albums, a bit dated sounding today but worth investigating if you enjoy mid-period Tears For Fears, early Mr. Mister or the like. I tend to think of a "guilty pleasure" single called "Weak In The Presence Of Beauty" by Floy Joy whenever I play them.
I'll close with a track from my personal favorite Andrew Gold treasure, a twisted and fun, psychedelic pop opus called "Greetings From Planet Love" that oddly fits the occasion. There's a false ending... so let it play out.

The Colonel uncovers a brochure of the GMC Truck Centre in Montreal.
A bit of nostalgia this morning.
Do you remember GMC Astro's the cab over truck, not the van of later years.
If you have ever been in the truck side of the business you encountered or perhaps even sold Astro's way back in the day.
This morning The Colonel is jogging his memory about Astro's.
The idea of a cab over (hinged truck) was simple, in the US back in the day the overall lenght for a truck and trailer was 55 feet...you needed a cab over to haul in the US...yes 80,000 lbs GCW which by Canadian standards was "light".
Back in the day an Astro was a popular truck. While the styling was appealing compared to other offerings in the segment.
In the truck business for a sales consultant to sell an Astro was comparable to today selling a top of the line luxury car or SUV...it was HUGE to close a deal on an Astro.
Some perspective here...no computers, no word processors, no showroom software for the product. It was a voluminous "data book", accompanied by a comparable price book, to "spec out" and price an Astro or any truck for that matter.
When you hear today about product knowledge, back in the days of Astro's it was product knowledge, and application knowledge. You were the wikipedia of both product and application knowledge. A myriad of exchanges were going on a daily basis among sales consultants exchanging knowledge among themselves regarding applications, usage, fuel economy, speeds, gear ratios...and on and on.
It was a prime example of humans curating, disseminating the knowledge to prospective customers. Not software, not the Internet. It was and still is with trucks..." I'm hauling this from here to there, my GCW is so much, and I want to travel at that speed"....from there the sales consultant would always ask additional questions to uncover the finer points of the application, and expectations.
In trucking terms...the Astro had to lift the load, move it, and overcome wind resistance". Put this into perspective of when HD trucks had about 300 HP to do all of this and no turbos.
Back in the day when folks acquired an HD GMC truck, it had a GM diesel, you did not sell many Astro's without a Detroit Diesel.
These trucks were assembled in Pontiac, Michigan literally hand made in an aging truck plant, which was fascinating to visit and see all the manual operations from riveting aluminum, to bolting various components.
What were the "specs" of an early Astro?
Detroit Diesel 8V71 with 65mm injectors 318 HP, a Fuller RTO9513 13 speed transmission with a 0.85 overdrive ratio, a 12,000 lbs front axle with soft ride springs, and a 38,000 lbs rear tandem either Rockwell or Eaton, and either an Hendrickson extended leaf (Canada) or a Reyco (US) rear suspension. Depending on how fast the truck had to travel it was a 4.11 or 4.33 or 4.44 rear axle ratio.
The specs on the later versions
A Royal Classic cab, Detroit Diesel 8V92 TT or T (365 to 430 HP), a Fuller RTO 12513, and a 40,000 lbs rear tandem usually a Rockwell SQHP with the oil pump to lubricate the power divider, same rear suspensions, the gear ratios were 3.70 or 3.90 or 4.11. The turbo motors had dramatically more torque, and metallic clutches which presented a learning curve for some old school drivers. "Release to clutch and lift the load with the engine, do not try to slip the clutch as you are accustomed with a non turbo motor".
Today cab over trucks are a rare sighting, having been replaced by "conventional" cab trucks with a hood.
Its Friday, its the Vroom Room, make yourself comfortable, enjoy the cappuccino and biscotti, join the conversation.
A new month, and in a few days we will see how September sales developed. It will be interesting to observe the results for the 3rd quarter.
If you missed "The Power of Human Energy" its a must...click.
Have you noticed the folks that compile lists of the 10 best of "something" from a narrow perspective, and pedestrian knowledge. The other day we were perusing a 10 best list, and were surprised to see a bunch of stuff that was sort of relevant, but missed the point in the history of the brand of cars.
Its the same with horsepower, as you know several years ago we went on a quest of 600 HP when it did not exist yet from manufacturers. We took our own car and subtlely cranked it up to 600 HP, it was an interesting experience at the time. Years later when folks talk about horsepower, and yes its beyond 600 today but only with a few exceptions. We were there almost a decade ago.
Another yes...if you are a gear head, enthusiast, you absolutely need to experience a 12 cylinder for a period of time. It will cost you some money, but its a memorable experience, especially in an age of 4 cylinders with turbos, a 12 cylinder with turbos is in a league of its own, and truly a luxury motor.
Not to honk our horn, through the years we have had the opportunity to enjoy "tweaked" 12 cylinders which were an absolute joy. We love V8's but nothing generates horsepower, and pulls like a 12 cylinder.
If you live in the suburbs and have not ventured in your respective downtown area on a Saturday, we urge you to do it, its a revealing experience. Last Saturday night we experience the downtown core of Toronto with a baseball game ending, a hockey game starting, and a myriad of other activities and events. Busy, people, congested is an understatement, as well as a cool experience that tests the patience.
For some reason a ton of "MerbimAu's" converge downtown on a Saturday night.
From our perspective the VW debacle was last week, and had been going on for several years. You have to credit those folks for being "bold" and perhaps for a fleeting moment think they were "masters of the universe" until the shit hit the fan.
For a different view people and not cars Celebrating the People of the Goodwood Revival.
Hint: If you are in any business, but especially in the auto business at the retail level, we urge you to connect dots that resonate with you.
You know the saying "We are in the people business through cars"
Looking at any vehicle there are so many systems, sub systems, that one needs technology to diagnose the technology in the vehicle in a fast efficient manner that is acceptable to the customer.
It also makes life easier for manufacturers in dealing with warranty claims, when the dealer must mention the code, and the manufacturer can request additional information/data regarding the code. Prior to paying a warranry claim.
With all the technology floating around we can easily forget the decades old mechanical components of all vehicles. While overlooking the knowledge base that is required to have a deep understanding of the mechanical components, and their functions.
All vehicles still have tires, wheels, springs be it coil or leaf (pick ups), stabiliser bars, air filters, oil filters, ball joints, steering linkages...to name a few. This stuff has evolved but not changed in decades.
Which is the reason independant shops performing "under chassis" work are still thriving, and score high in customer satisfaction. Reflect on this for a moment.
At the same time when a purely mechanical issue appears on a vehicle it often stumps the savviest of mechanics.
An example:
A fairly loud mechanical noise appears on a vehicle, its at the same speed as the wheels turning. To make it interesting its intermittent.
Once at the mechanic the car no longer makes a sound, its all normal.
A few weeks later the sound re appears, its loud, as if something is touching a wheel, then goes away.
A couple of weeks pass by, the sound re appears, this time its not going away which is a good thing. Jack up the car, spin the wheel in question, not a sound. Put it back on the ground, the sound is there again fairly loud too.
With all the technology out there, its a mechnical sound, and where the old school mechanical knowledge base engages and kicks in. Its coming from there, only when this happens, and if that happens its not there. Its a process of eliminating the variables.
There is something going on "there" lets see what it is...
With all the technology...some things don't change. You still need to understand, diagnose the mechanical aspect of a vehicle.
Its Friday, its the Vroom Room, make yourself comfortable, enjoy the cappuccino and biscotti, join the conversation.
Its 9 years that we are publishing Strada, almost seems like yesterday when we started, and a brief look in the rear view mirror its fascinating to see the myriad of events, changes both seismic and small, that have developed during those years.
Before we forget...Thank You for your support, sharing your thoughts with us, and making it fun.
By now you know that "we don't follow, we lead", as well as not being in the eyeball business, we are in the thought provoking business. We constantly urge folks to apply their intelligence, look ahead, while taking a 360 degree perspective, to push the envelope, connect dots, and be remarkable in their own way.
What do we know of the auto business as we call it? The Colonel's father was a mechanic a couple of generations ago. We did not have an auto epiphany, we grew up, evolved, earned a living with cars, and we persist in being PASSIONATE about cars, and the business surrounding cars.
The Colonel has evolved in the auto business at various levels, and positions. Yes...he is still involved in the auto business to this day.

Its a reality of the current global auto business, saving costs while making room for increased technology.
Back in the days of mechanical vehicles we all knew who was putting more "substance" in a vehicle, and who was skimping. The trick was to make components that lasted beyond the duration of the warranty. The substance was "how much longer" would they last.
At one point The Colonel made the following observation about a specific manufacturer "They shortened the license plate screws what else have they measured and cut?"
In the auto industry at times it made better economic sense for a manufacturer to pay out claims, than re engineer specific components which would have been more costly. Reflect on this for a moment...
Back in the day the spread between MSRP and cost was 15% and on some models a touch more, and the usual holdback amount. When you finished doing a deal the gross was 8-10% of cost plus the holdback. Obvious back then customers concluded that dealers were making 30-40-50% gross.
Today the spread between MSRP and cost is 8-10%, then there are the monthly incentives from the manufacturers, so much cash back, or such a rate, or a combination of both. In addition to volume bonuses for dealers if they reach specific targets. Its dynamic and changing on an as needed basis to move iron.
Better yet customers expect this dynamic pricing on a monthly basis to incite them to finalise a decision. The customer got a great deal with a compelling promotion, while the dealer hit the volume bonus with that vehicle.
If you have a "feeling " that current dynamic pricing incites manufacturers to increase their cost saving efforts, you might be correct.
If you have the feeling that "strong" components still cost money, you might be correct.
Between cost savings, less platforms, increased common components, the product is better than back in the day. While the components will outlast the warranty on the vehicle.
Some manufacturers are more aggressive in their cost saving efforts than others, components come from the other side of the planet to save the last fraction of a penny.
Every manufacturer benchmarks the competition, everyone is learning from everybody.
There are a gazillion cost saving decisions made around the planet on a daily basis, its perhaps naive to think that all these decisions have been thought out, and reflected. Although they should, we have seen that with common components, be it air bags, to software code. When the shit hits the fan its in the million of units.
While the technology content of any vehicle increases its disposability, and although the mechanical components might endure for decades with proper maintenance, the technology has a best before date.

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The single currency is now losing the grip, dragging the EUR/USD to test session lows in the area of 1.3555/50.
EUR/USD weaker post-US CPI
Consumer prices in the US economy surprised investors to the upside on May, expanding at an annual pace of 2.1% and 0.4% on a monthly basis, vs. estimates at 2.0% and 0.2%, respectively. Core prices (excluding food and energy costs) also surpassed expectations at 0.3% MoM and 2.0% over the last twelve months. In the opinion of Camilla Sutton, Chief FX Strategist at Scotiabank, "technicals area mixed with most signals warning of a range bound environment. Support lies at yesterday's low of 1.3513, while resistance lies at the high from June 10th of 1.3602".
EUR/USD key levels
As of writing the pair is losing 0.20% at 1.3545 with the immediate support at 1.3521 (low Jun.13) ahead of 1.3512 (low Jun.12) and then 1.3503 (low Jun.5). On the flip side, a breakout of 1.3587 (high Jun.17) would open the door to 1.3590 (Tenkan Sen) and finally 1.3602 (high Jun.10).

Burchett violated the U.S. military blockade of Hiroshima, and was the first Western journalist to visit that devastated city. He wrote: "Hiroshima does not look like a bombed city. It looks as if a monster steamroller had passed over it and squashed it out of existence."

"The card design is super cute! I just wish I would have used a darker pink for the font at the bottom of the card as it's a little hard to read but other than that, I love the simple design and the card quality."
"These thank yous are just adorable. I actually bought a different design than I had for the shower invites (same "jungle" theme) because these were just a cuter card than what matched my invites. I love them, they're cheerful and neutral (great for those of us who aren't figuring out boy or girl!). Cards are a good weight and the process was nice and easy."
"I ordered the light grey and was a little concerned the pattern on the card would be too light. I was pleasantly surprised when I got the cards - they turned out to be absolutely beautiful and look just like the picture. Subtle and classy, I would definitely recommend it!"
"I ordered these cards as a gift for my friend when her baby boy was born. I figured he would get lots of baby stuff and this would be something that could really be used. It was a HIT!!"
"Overall I was very pleased with this card. I read the reviews before I purchased it so I knew to expect the texture verses a flat card; however, even though the paper wasn't completely smooth, I didn't have a hard time writing on it at all. It has the perfect coloring for what I was looking for, and it looks just like the picture available on the webiste. Also, it is the perfect size for a thank you card with just the right amount of space to write."

Plan for marketing on multi-channels, and other tactics that should be on your radar.
Last time, we examined testing approaches, determining the value of an email address, and more. This column looks at five additional essential email marketing strategies to optimize your program. This is the final part of a two-part series.
6. Develop/tailor landing pages. Driving subscribers back to the primary website is generally the preferred tactic of most marketers. However, some programs - including welcome and reactivation campaigns - could require development of specific landing pages. If your organization tailors a site experience by subscriber segment or persona, you may need to customize landing pages to reinforce that email content. You may need to have a few static landing pages added to your website. These will cover campaigns such as welcoming new subscribers and reactivating dormant ones.
7. Optimize content. Managing content and creative often represents the largest part of the production process. Consider how your messages render in a variety of email clients, including those found on mobile devices. Tools make this undertaking easier. But the messaging in that content - and how it renders - is critical to succeeding with the brand-oriented aspects of your email program.
8. Develop seed lists. Determine individuals within your company for placement on seed and proof lists. This ensures that you and your colleagues will get test versions of the mailing for proofing as well as the actual email mailing when it is sent. Additionally develop seed lists that incorporate a wide variety of Internet service providers to measure delivery and message placement (e.g., bulk folder) across a large number of domains. Vendors including Return Path and Lyris offer seeding solutions to monitor delivery.
9. Determine use of multi-channel marketing in early stages of the planning process. Although coordinating and integrating email campaigns and data with marketing in other channels could be a long-term goal, try to determine the use of multi-channel marketing as early as possible in the planning process. For example, the manner in which email marketing data are stored and organized could have particular bearing on the amount of work required to implement integrated multi-channel marketing. Accordingly, marketers might want to use something other than an email address as a unique record identifier. This generic, but unique, customer identification will provide householding and other data management benefits if data from other channels and applications are integrated with email marketing data. You should plan that your email marketing efforts will become a central and integrated part of your overall corporate marketing. Mapping out the data that you want to collect and how it will be organized are vital to ensure success and efficiency down the road.
10. Map out continuity campaigns for leverage. An ancillary benefit of using sequenced strings of messages is that much of the work involved in creating individual messages within campaigns can be leveraged and reused. Coupling this approach with behavioral segmentation strategy will allow you to craft mailings triggered by behaviors and/or events, thus reusing messages designed for other subscribers. This approach is typically used in welcome campaigns for new subscribers, which can consist of three or four stock messages that apply to all new subscribers. This approach is also applied to some of the transactional and service opportunities that we discussed in the last chapter. With the exception of welcome campaigns for most email marketers, triggered continuity campaigns are something to aspire to and not necessarily required on a day one launch. Understanding its role will help you when selecting a vendor.

Do you want a beautiful lawn, but can't seem to get one to grow because your soil is full of rocks? Growing grass on rocky soil can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Here are some tips on growing and maintaining grass on your rocky soil: Working with the Rocks If you have the means to use a tractor to drag the land and remove surface rocks, by all means do so. If not, till the land removing as many rocks as possible. When starting fresh, your best option is to get a truckload of topsoil. Spread the topsoil evenly over the area you plan to seed. Your seeds will have a better chance of thriving in topsoil that can be kept moist. Rocky soil dries out quickly. Even if you have dragged your land, more rocks will probably surface over time. Choose Wisely Soil with rocks tends to lose nutrients rapidly. Couple that with the fact that it dries out quickly, and you have two challenges when it comes to choosing what kind of grass to plant. You will want a grass that is known to grow well in your climate, and is drought tolerant. Plants, flowers and grasses are often classified by the zones in which they grow well. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a plant hardiness zone map you can refer to if you need to know what zone you live in. A few grasses that lend themselves to the ability to thrive in rocky soil are: Bermuda grass – This grass grows best in zones 7 through 10. It is a fast growing grass and has deep roots. Bermudagrass is drought tolerant. Buffalo grass – This grass grows best in zones 4 through 8. It does well in full sun and with well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant and has low water requirements. Fescue – This grass grows best in zones 4 through 7. Fescue is a low maintenance grass, is drought tolerant once established, and holds up to harsh winters Zoysia grass – This grass grows best in zones 6 through 9. It develops deep roots, only needs occasional watering, and while not as drought resistant as others it usually tolerates rocky soil. A landscape professional will be able to help you choose which grasses are best for your location and soil. All grass requires some maintenance whether it is watering, fertilizing, aerating, or mowing. If there is any question as to how you should care for your lawn, bring in a professional (such as Valley Green Companies). Don't give up on your rocky...read more
If you live in one of the drought-plagued areas of the United States, you're probably trying to figure out what to do with the new fescue sod you just planted in your yard. Before you waste money and have it removed, you should know that there are some simple ways to conserve water and preserve your lawn. Reduce the Area If you've decided to remove the lawn in order to conserve water, you might want to consider just reducing the area of your grass. Instead of removing all your grass, simply remove a portion of it and plant drought resistant plants throughout your yard. You'll be able to keep your home looking well-manicured, while still doing your part to conserve valuable water. Aerate the Lawn Most of the water that goes onto your lawn is lost to evaporation, especially if your soil is not properly aerated. When soil is too dense to allow for proper absorption, the water stays on the surface of your lawn. By aerating your lawn, the water is able to absorb into the soil, which means you'll need less water to keep your lawn healthy. The easiest way to aerate your lawn is to use a pair of baseball cleats or golf shoes. Put your shoes on and walk around on your lawn. Walk in vertical and horizontal lines across the entire lawn. The spikes on the bottom of your shoes will place hundreds of tiny holes in the soil. Do this once a week to keep your lawn properly aerated. Adjust Your Mower Longer grass stays moist longer. When you keep your lawn longer, the longer blades keep the lower portions of the blades shaded from the harsh sunlight. Adjust the blades on your lawnmower so that your grass is kept about 3″ long. Your grass will still pass HOA inspections, but you won't need to use as much water to keep it green. Leave the Clippings A good layer of mulch will help retain the moisture that keeps your lawn healthy. You don't have to spend a lot of money to purchase mulch. All you have to do is leave the grass clippings each time you mow the lawn. Your grass will stay moist and you won't have to rake your lawn. There's a drought going on but that doesn't mean you have to tear out your grass. These simple tips will help you keep your grass green without a lot of water. For more ideas on how to keep your fescue sod alive, visit sites like...read more
Keeping your trees healthy is difficult enough without invasive and destructive species trying to make a home inside them. One of the most dangerous of these invasive species is the Asian longhorned beetle. As a tree lover, you need to understand this pest and what you can do to help stop their spread. The First Invasion The first identification of the Asian longhorned beetle was in 1996, when they were spotted on some trees in Brooklyn, New York. By then, the beetle had made a pretty firm foothold, so there's no telling when they actually arrived. Scientists speculate that they first arrived in packing cases shipped from China. As a result, common ports such as Chicago and Toronto, Canada, have been infested with the longhorned beetle. Outbreaks have also been spotted in Worcester, Massachusetts and Bethel, a small town in Ohio. The latter was a particularly devastating infestation: in April of 2015, a total of 65,300 trees had been removed from the area due to damage caused by the Asian longhorned beetle. A further 26,000 were treated with pesticides. The Damage Tree damage caused by the Asian longhorn can be extreme. While the adult beetle isn't particularly menacing to trees, its larva are. Once they are hatched, Asian longhorned beetle larva dig their way into the heart of the tree. They go beyond several layers of bark to find the food and water storage areas. Then the the larva will feed. If it was just one larvae, it might not be a problem. But an infestation of hundreds can cause serious defects in the tree's structure by killing the cambial layer. And after the beetle has reached full maturity, it digs its way out. This leaves multiple pen-sized holes that leave the tree open for infection and disease. The Control Methods Pest control authorities are currently implementing a wide range of control methods to stop the spread of the Asian longhorned beetle and hopefully eliminate it. Common Asian long-horned beetle control methods include Better port inspections to spot the beetle Quarantines in infested zones Destroying infested trees Application of pesticides A scent-based pesticide is currently one of the most promising methods of longhorn control. This method, reported on by NatureWorldNews.com, uses secretions from the beetle to attract them to a deadly poison. What You Can Do If you are concerned about the spread of the Asian longhorned beetle, you should avoid moving firewood from its original location. Beetles and other damaging insects often get moved to new areas in pieces of old wood, causing a widening of their natural habitat. In fact, many states, such as New York, have made it illegal to move firewood over a certain distance from its source. Other states, such as Rhode Island, have actually banned out-of-state firewood. If you think your tree has been infested by these insects, call a tree removal specialist like Tidd Tree immediately. While they may be able to trim away infested branches without destroying the tree, removal and destruction of the tree can help eliminate some of the...read more

Adapting to life without licence

Des McKenzie's job depended on driving but, as an epileptic with Parkinson's Disease, he knew the time would come when he would have to give up.
"I drove all the time. I had my own truck and trailer transporter.
"But when my medication changed I started hallucinating and couldn't sleep. I didn't feel like I should be on the road - I was a danger to myself and other people," said Des.
For Des, who turns 60 this month, it was his own decision to stop driving. But for many who are told to stop driving for health reasons the news comes as a shock.
"The biggest fear is the loss of independence," says Belinda Boyce, field officer for the Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Society.
Part of her job is helping people adjust to life without a car and showing them there are other ways to get out and about.
"The Blenheim bus is free if you have a super gold card, or it is just a $2 fare."
Another option is the St John Health Shuttle, which is a door-to-door service for anyone with health or mobility problems who needs to get to a medical appointment.
Many people, including Des, get support from their family.
"I have a sister in Springlands and a brother in Redwoodtown who help out if I want anything or need a ride.
"Also, living in Mayfield, I can walk in to town in about eight minutes.
"I try to organise it so my appointments are bunched together. I have good days and bad days with Parkinson's and I've worked out to stay at home on my off days."
Des moved down from Rotorua in 2009 and is struck by the kindness of Blenheim people.
"They go out of their way to help. I can't write now, I can't hold a pen. But if I go to the Post Office the staff fill in the forms for me, they're very helpful."
He is also impressed with the local taxi drivers, who drive him to the door of his house and bring in the groceries.
"I get taxi vouchers under the Total Mobility scheme through the Marlborough District Council. It's fantastic. The vouchers pay half the taxi fare which is a big help for longer trips like the supermarket, or if I have an early hospital appointment."
Des says he is getting by without a car but he misses the independence he had when he was driving.
"I liked popping over to Nelson or going to Picton. When my granddaughter came and stayed in the holidays we'd drive to Kaikoura for a trip or have a picnic down the Sounds."
But Des says he doesn't miss the petrol bills or paying for car registration and insurance and the walking he does is doing him good.
"I'm still getting out. I don't want to be stuck inside at home on my own. I go to the Parkinson's exercise class and I've done eight computer courses at SeniorNet. It's good to be out and about and learning."
The Total Mobility voucher scheme depends on eligibility.
Contact the Marlborough District Council, phone 520 7400, email@example.com
St John Health Shuttle provides transport to and from medical appointments.
Service for Blenheim, Ward, Seddon, Wairau Valley and Picton.
Phone 03 578 0797 at least a day in advance.
If you are considering stopping driving, the NZ Transport Agency has more information. nzta.govt.nz/resources/keeping-moving or phone 0800 822 422 for the Keeping Moving booklet.

The weather forecast is ugly around Bikeboy towers, but I've got some new waterproofs so I've got to give 'em a test ride, maybe pick up a point for the Metric Century Challenge…
Anyone else got some bike-related action planned?
Don't know if I will manage 100km but I will get out there amongst the wet leaves and I hope not to test the abrasion resistance of my new bibs - I gave the old ones a bit of a blacktop workout this time last year. They didn't like it. Wet leaves and cow shit are a nasty combo on a country road.

Was hoping to get a nice big ride in this weekend to up my tally on the ol' MCC. But sadly life just gets in the way, instead I've got to move a whole bunch of crap out of the shed in our old house (which my in-laws bought) and put it in the shed in our new house. Been putting it off since August, but now the house has got tenants moving in and our lawnmower/hammock/old golf clubs/rake/camping crockery/weedkiller/tarpaulins have got to go. Don't know where though, my new shed is full of bikes

Dan Fox
/ Sport
DAN Fox believes a blend of youth and experience in England's World Cup squad will be the key to success in The Hague.
At 31, the Oxford University graduate is the oldest member of the group which begins their campaign against Spain on Saturday.
He is one of six survivors from the last World Cup, while 11 will be making their debuts as England target their first medal in the event since 1986.
He said: "I'm the oldest bloke in the team now which is very strange and a lot different from when I first started.
"I think what is really valuable is that a lot of us have played in big games.
"Without the new faces though and the people who are desperate to get there and their enthusiasm, then you don't necessarily have the right motivation and mix of characters."
After Spain, England also face Pool A games against India, Malaysia, champions Australia and Belgium.

In Apex LLC v. Korusfood.com, 2014 DJDAR 248 (2014), the California Court of Appeal for the Fourth Appellate District affirmed an attorney fee award rendered by the trial court. The court of appeal concluded that a third party who "stands in the shoes" of the contracting party can be liable for fees to the same extent as the original contracting party.
The plaintiff sued Sharing World Inc. ("SW") and Felix & Sons Inc. ("Felix"), alleging the parties failed to pay for seed that it ordered. Felix later became Korusfood.com ("Korusfood"). The trial court first ruled in favor of SW and Korusfood, but later reversed its ruling.
Following its appellate victory, Apex moved for contractual attorney fees. The defendants argued that Apex could not recover attorney fees from Korusfood, because Korusfood was separate from SW and was not a party to the contract. The trial court granted Apex's request for attorney fees against both of the entities.
The court of appeal affirmed the trial court's decision. The court held that even a party who has not signed an agreement may still be bound to an attorney fees provision in a contract if it "stands in the shoes of a party to the contract." The nonsignatory party can be held liable for a fee award, if it would have been entitled to attorney fees as the prevailing party. This is a commonsense conclusion. Here, even though Korusfood was not a party to the contract, it stood in the shoes of Felix. Thus, the trial court correctly ordered both Korusfood and SW to pay Apex's attorney fees.
