Managing Lygus Bug in Cotton
By moniquegarcia on Wed, 07/17/2013 - 2:44pm
Hatch Act; Smith-Lever 3(d) (e.g., IPM); Western Region IPM; Pest Management Alternatives Program; UA program enhancement (CES); UA IPM and CROP programs
Enhance Economic Opportunities for Agricultural Producers
Research Year:2003
Integrated pest management (IPM) plans must be flexible enough to accommodate different insect pest pressures from year to year. After years of lesser recognition as a cotton pest, Lygus bugs have become the number one pest of cotton since 1998. Among growers, typical control measures for Lygus have involved tank mixing combinations of broad-spectrum insecticides in the unfounded hope that this practice will give more control over the pest.
Description of Action:
The UA College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has developed an integrated pest management program (IPM) for Lygus in cotton aimed at reducing insecticide use through adequate field sampling, adherence to threshold guidelines, and using the right compound for the job. Above all, it emphasizes avoiding pest pressures wherever possible. These measures are being incorporated into the larger cotton pest management program, and focus on reducing spray applications from mixed broad-spectrum insecticides to more selective, targeted single insecticide applications. One key to the success of the program has been the accurate identification of single spray compounds that perform consistently against Lygus and knowing precisely when to use them. The education component of this program has assisted growers in implementing this strategy during the last seven seasons.
Because Lygus bugs survive and multiply on many different hosts, a collaborative project was conducted with growers in a large agricultural area and with the Arizona Cotton Research and Protection Council to determine the factors that contribute to the abundance of Lygus populations. These studies, part of a larger cross-commodity program in the UA College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, identified key sources of Lygus populations and provided guidelines on planting patterns and distances that should help avoid Lygus problems in the future
In response to this IPM program, more than 50 percent of the region's cotton growers have changed their chemical tactics against Lygus by switching to single compounds used strategically and at appropriate rates as part of an IPM system. In 1999, growers applied the fewest number of sprays statewide against Lygus in cotton since 1993, thus reducing their costs per acre while protecting the environment. Education efforts across the border in Mexicali, Mexico have resulted in the majority of cotton growers there adopting threhold and other IPM guidelines for Lygus management. This has resulted in a 66 percent reduction in the number of acres receiving spray mixtures for Lygus, while increasing effective rates by about 20 percent.
Arizona extension entomologists have been able to teach and demonstrate to growers that single compounds are as effective or even more effective than broad-spectrum combination sprays, and that this practice helps reduce the risk of resistance in Lygus and other insects while minimizing negative impacts on beneficial insects. More growers are now aware of the specific midseason timing (thresholds) required for the control of Lygus and for providing maximum economic return. They are also aware of new information on when precisely to discontinue sprays against this pest late in the season. Some growers reported immediate savings of $25 per acre by curtailing sprays earlier than they would have done otherwise, because research showed that they were not cost-effective. The success of this program has led for the first time to efforts to control Lygus across multiple crops (Lygus are highly mobile and feed on several crops in addition to cotton.) Through community-wide cooperation with growers in a large agricultural region, researchers were able to collect enough information about distributions of Lygus across multiple hosts to formulate concrete recommendations for planting patterns and distances from sources. Through use of spatially-explicit information in a geographical information system (GIS), educators can now advise growers that sensitive cotton crops will be negatively affected by other Lygus sources, such as seed alfalfa, grown within 1.5 km of their crops. Further, researchers found that clustering many cotton fields together provided "safety in numbers" by helping to dilute the negative impact of Lygus migrating from non-cotton sources. This information helps pest managers address decades-old nagging questions about Lygus movement and will help guide them in the introduction, placement and cultivation of other crops on which Lygus reproduce.

Dear Sir,
You have the best food blog on the Internet. I have been drooling over it (and occasionally on it, sorry) since I discovered it a few weeks ago.
Tonight your "comfort food" tag came in handy for inspiring a vegan Shepard's pie (mashed potatoes, sautéed zucchini, carrots and -never would have thought of this without your blog - garbanzo beans in a vegan "cream" sauce (roux + white rice cooking wine).
I hope you publish your cookbook soon. Really really soon!

I haven't posted for awhile so thought it was about time.
Shot this last Friday from my office window (daytime job) before heading home.
The original shoot was 5 rows of 30 images each of 5 bracketed exposures at -2EV to +2EV for total pixel count in excess of 600million. When I got home I found that I had missed 3 sets of bracketed exposures in the 4th row , so the final image was cut down to 5 rows x 27 columns.
Each bracketed set was processed in Photomatix and for my liking it is probably pushed a little to much. Considering the overall processing at this point took around 6 hours I really didn't feel like going back and starting again.
The mosaic was then stitched together using Autopano Giga and downsized to 30000 x 11440 pixels to beat Photoshop's limitation of 30,000 pixels.
There are lots of stitching errors as this was the first time I have used the Nikkor 24-120 for this type of shoot and I didn't take the time out to sort out any parallax errors.
Some details:
Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: AF-S VR Nikkor 24-120 f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED
Panohead: Nodal Ninja NN5 with R-D16 rotator
Aperture: f/9
Shutter: 1/80
Focal Length: 120mm
Dimensions: 30000 x 11440 pixels - 348Mb
FoV: approx. 120 degrees
Image Arrangement: 5 x 30 x 3 (rows x columns x bracket)
For all those interested, I have uploaded the mosaic to http://gigapan.org/gigapans/49187/. There are no prizes for the person who can find the most stitching errors.
I've printed this out at 840mm x 300mm and the detail is amazing.
P.S. When is Nick going to make a robotic Nodal Ninja to make my job easier? :

Orange Wedges is TSG's gameday post that is updated until kick-off.
With top division club soccer in the US nearing the nuclear option, soccer fans may witness that last meaningful match on American soil for some time when the USMNT takes on El Salvador in friendly tomorrow evening.
The game kicks-off from Tampa Bay's Raymond James Stadium — complete with giant fake pirate ship — at 4pm Pacific on ESPN Classic and Galavision.
Though the game is more of a tryout for end of the bench selections for the Yanks World Cup roster, fans can still hope that the team wakes up from its post-qualifying funk to show some semblance of quality and notch its first win since October.
- Tonight will be the last match for the USMNT in their white and horizontal pinstripe jersey. Nike "unveils" the new kits tomorrow from what we understand.
- At last count, TSG readers would overwhelmingly like to see Clarence Goodson start over Chad Marshall in defense and a Ching / Findley pairing up-top.
- If the recent Honduras friendly brought back great memories for Jonathan Bornstein, then tomorrow's match may bring the opposite as the last time JB faced El Salvador (9/5) it was his shank-a-roni on a clearance attempt that led to El Salvador taking a 1-0 lead. (Kyle Beckerman showed poorly in his limited time in that match as well.)
- El Salvador travels to Tampa with an interim coach, José Luis Rugamas, performing double duty guiding his country's U-21 team as well. Rugamas replaced new Chicago Fire coach Carlos de los Cobos who managed the Salvdorans through World Cup qualifying.
- Somewhat ironically, the US will take the pitch against the Los Cuscatlecos with 20 MLS players and 1 Tippeligaen player (IK Start's Clarence Goodson).
- The appetizer to tomorrow's main course will feature the men's U-17 squad taking on Mexico at1:15pm Pacific. FYI for those heading to US-ES, your ticket is good for both games.

IPC staff lawyer Ben Winograd was quoted in a CBS article about the effect of the Supreme Court case over SB 1070 on other states:
For the states that have the same provisions as Arizona, the Court's decision provides clarity.
"To the extent that they have identical provisions, it's open and shut," staff attorney Ben Winograd with the American Immigration Council said.
Winograd says that the additional court cases will provide much more clarity.
"Based on the Supreme Court decision alone, I would be surprised" if the states move forward with their laws in the short term, Winograd said.

Is there an easy way to remove silicone sealant?
Having had mouldy sealant have replaced with MicroBan to stop the mould coming back but is there any tips on getting the stuff off for next time?
My best tool seemed to be a sharp chisel.
I've used a craft knife to cut out most of it (being careful not to damage the surface), then a small (2") putty knife to scrape out the rest. Nylon scrubbing pads (the ones made for cleaning non-stick cookware) are great for getting rid of any last traces of the old caulk.
A chisel would work, but chisels are supposed to be very sharp, so I'd be very careful not to scratch whatever surface the caulk is applied to. A putty knife isn't as sharp so it would take more work on your part to do any damage.
I've used one of these before with success. http://www.amazon.com/Hyde-43620-Caulk-Away-Plastic-Removal/dp/B001HHB0K4 If the sealant is on tile you should be fine.
Mechanical means - plastic or metal depending on your surface. They also now make a cleaning solvent which will desolve residue BUT I suspect it contains mineral spirits and/or rubbing alcohol - which with the elbow grease method will help with residue.
Commercially they can use lye dissolved in tetra hydro furan - nasty nasty stuff and NOT for ANY homeowner. Explosive stuff - Above flash point 7F/-14C, vapor-air mixtures are explosive. May form explosive organic peroxides when exposed to air or light or with age. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition source and flash back. Sealed containers may rupture when heated. (Brown glass or steel drums)
A glass scraper can also be helpful up against tiles or glass.

New facilities and technology dedicated to specific disciplines will advance University initiatives and present exciting opportunities for teaching and learning. Examples include:
One of our Human Healthcare Initiative partners, Geisinger Health System, is a data-rich healthcare system with advanced information resources on patient care and financial, clinical and genomics data. Analyzing these complex data to extract meaningful information presents enormous computational, mathematical and statistical challenges.
With endowed and annual support, Bucknell can add new, high-speed computing and imaging technology to the planned Academic East building and take advantage of this tremendous learning opportunity. These resources, which are rare at liberal arts institutions, will enable our faculty and students to research, design and implement the powerful analytical approaches required for translating immense data sets into valuable healthcare practices.
Conceived as part of the Sustainability Initiative, this studio will capitalize on our location and broad curriculum by enabling faculty, students, staff and visiting experts to work together on cutting-edge sustainability projects on campus, in surrounding communities and urban areas, and at study-abroad sites. The studio will emulate a well-established learning model in architecture and turn our campus and region into a laboratory where students and faculty can explore the most challenging questions in sustainability and evaluate creative solutions as they unfold.
Experiential learning projects could include integrative design of zero-impact buildings, bioregional planning for sustainable communities and envisioning carbon-neutral cities. The questions sustainability raises are virtually limitless and thus the potential for a studio that integrates our efforts and impacts innovative research, design creations and learning is extensive.

The main point is though that you can out-perform the AI at team building even if you have no idea of what you're doing for the most part. Just follow the scouting advice in backroom advice and you're pretty much set.
No matter if your 12years old or 60 years old, We all get excited at this time of the year with talk of new FM I really do like FM2011. I admit it needs a slight tidy up and a few tweaks to the transfer system but apart from that and with a whole new database update I'm more than happy.
At the end of the day the difficulty level will always be the abilty of the user. However some crucial aspects of the game do need looking at and have done for some time. AI clubs stagnate quickly and soon get left behind because of their poor AI team building logic. Thats it in a nutshell. BiggusD's reply is spot on.
"Manage Anywhere, Anytime – the ability to add or take away playable nations in your saved game as often as you want. Manage in that country at the start of the next season- meaning you don't have to stay in the nations which are chosen by you to be playable at the start of your career."
Why do people want this??? Its not like its going to benefit everyone. heck like a few others im betting (i hope not but...) there might be a few potential bugs stuffing saved games with this option....
Id say they should concentrate on improving the AI, tactics,training & newgens.AND have the beta team play the crap out of it to lessen the chances of bugs on final release.
In FM11.3, the only manager making a real difference in the long term is you.
I and many others demand competition in single-player games, especially long-term ones.
The only way SI can provide this, is by ensuring that the AI:
A. Sign players that strengthens their team either immediately or in the long term, or both
B. Deploys their tactic in a way that maximizes the ability of their players
C. Develops youngsters by giving them 1st team experience, and by making sure that the club's coach and training facility setup is as good as it can get
D. Ensures that the squad is deep enough in all positions to get through a long and hard season
E. Gets rid of players that have no future at the club
F. Follows a long-term plan for world domimation, just like you (you are held back by the board's financial awareness and so should they)
G. Maximizes the outcome of player contract negotiations, to the best of their current ability
H. Handles the "morale engine" to the best of their ability - meaning that good managers shouldn't have problems motivating their team... just like with human players
Can I have a response from SI please?
Could you explain the add/remove nations a little clearer please. You say add/remove "nations" and not leagues. What we all want is to be able to just add a few leagues, for example if you have taken a conference team to the CL and glory, could you take away the bottom leagues that you do not use anymore e.g. BSS/BSN BSP L2 L1 and championship? Similarly when you add a "nation" would you be able to select which leagues you can use from that nation or are you stuck with all of the leagues?
Why is Watfords ground tiny and have no roof on the stands behind the goal, and Southampton's looks huge!
I like the crowd though, looks smart.
I can't believe we're now in the 12th incarnation of this game? and A B and C still don't work properly, or worse yet, haven't even been implemented. AI managers and the things they do are just so random and nonsensical its pitiful.
If you really want the game to offer a proper challenge, play with an attribute hiding skin (but thats another story!).
Thats true
Helll yess!
i think FM07 was the last fm game close to perfrect, the match engine/ transfer system/ good long term playability and overall feel of the game was so good.
yet to see a FM game as good all round since.
The thing about FM07 was that it didn't have a big new feature that totally cocked up/unbalanced the game, so as a result it is remembered very fondly.
oh so thats why the match engine and transfer system was good? because the players responded to every instructions like robots
i seem to remember having some unhappy players on fm07 slight concern at lack of first team football etttc
The transfer system in FM 07 wasn't good, it was next to impossible to get rid of your unwanted players, AI had no squad building sense and it kept aging players on huge contracts in spite of their deteriorating abilities.
Also the match engine massively favoured tall players, it was preferable to play a centre back with 20/20 for jumping and heading up front rather than a proper striker with lower physical stats.
Furthermore the ability progression model allowed players to make huge jumps in attributes in a matter of months and allowed them to invariably reach their full potential at the age of 21.
Rose tinted glass and all that. There was really never a flawless, or even near flawless FM version in history, but I would say SI are moving in the right direction.
More on topic, I would be really happy if FM12 had two improvements: one, make the AI stop calling up the same players to international squads all the time (it's really dumb seeing players with 200+ caps) and make it call up players based on form rather than reputation only; two, make the AI look at performances when choosing transfer targets rather than at pure ability and reputation.

Of course I'm happy, but... no speed optimizations? Like better utilization of multi-threading in day-to-day player processing? You know we are way past one core CPUs and match days (where multiple cores are really utilized) are very small part of the time the game uses to process data.
to be honest i would have expected the match engine to have come further in a year.
Training training and again traing improvements to have a chance for smoe people like me to do micro management.
I hope this will be hudgly improved !!!
We know the SI strikers can score so instead of videos of goals scored, they should perhaps put up videos of defenders making good intelligent tackles!
Tone = very much more clicking. Exciting for a while and after that it becomes a drag.
Will Intelligent Interface solve the problem with playing the game on HD resolution laptops? In FM 2011 texts (for example player stats) were so small, that I had to decrease resolution to play the game.
Thanks SI, Miles and all the devs feel like family to me. I look forward to FM every year except this year I didn't really care about it at all... You see my wife bought me a PS3 and I was gonna buy FIFA12 until I saw how pathetic it is, bugs, issues online, a lot of leagues (including my beloved Greek) not being included... Anyway THANK YOU SI, continue the good work! look forward to the game once more.
I wonder how far the Intelligent Interface layout can be pushed - a desktop 5760 pixels wide across 3 full HD screens could show an awful lot of information
Bring it on!
Loving the new 'manage anywhere, anytime' feature! As someone who regulary changes his mind on leagues after about a season, this has cemented my plans for one massive, long-term game next year!!!
Re the AI team building. My one hope is that as a relatively unsexy and hidden change SI has chosen not to highlight it but that there has been a big revamp of AI team building and contract negotiation. The new negotiation features being the tip of the iceberg.
Tone sounds like a pretty good addition.
Though I'm wary as in general the best route in FM is to stay calm and molly coddle all of your players and treat them like spoilt brats. No player responds better to being challenged or criticised. So I'll probably end up just sticking it on calm or neutral and ignoring it, too many extra clicks for not enough positive result.
Will the demo and full release be available on Steam at the same time as everywhere else?
Something Im missing Is being able to tell the board what kind of Future plans I Have besides just saying only seasonly based.( If Im playing to stay up in the league, win the league or be a mid-based team) I want to be able to say to the board "Hey, im looking to try to build up our youngster academy to try to swoop up most national players in my area and maybe in a few years time build up something stronger" And with that, having your whole team of scouts and coaches building on that. Just an idea.
Yes, I love you!!! This upcoming release is a must-buy for me, because some of those new features will increase the fun a lot.
x) Adding new nations (and their leagues) to a currently running game is fantastic and will stretch the time I'll be able to motivate myself in a career game. I just hope that with the feature to add leagues to a game in progress we'll also be able to remove them (again), in order to speed up the process.
x) I'm equally tickled pink that you finally acknowledge high-screen resolutions. The last few years of FM have been a huge step back in that regard, because the customizability of many screens was very disappointing in FM11.
x) The expanded player-talk feature is another big plus, because there were too few options in FM11.
I have no idea how exactly you're going to implement these new features, but FM12 is a game I can't wait to play.
edit: forget about parts of what I said since I only read the email and not the starting post which contains more information and some answers to my questions.

Manage - anywhere + any time
Been waiting for this for a long time - plus 1 from me
I like the sound of the tone system. When telling a player off you can now be sure he will get the message if it is accompanied by a football boot to the head
Manage Anywhere, Anytime the ability to add or take away playable nations in your saved game as often as you want. Manage in that country at the start of the next season- meaning you dont have to stay in the nations which are chosen by you to be playable at the start of your career.
Sounds a brilliant idea especially with people who pcs aint the greatest.
I really want to be excited about FM2012 but I just can't get there. The last two editions have become pitifully easy and I didn't see anything in the announcement to suggest FM12 will be any different.
It's a second season thing. The first season is a challenge but I all of a sudden become a footballing genius, and my players footballing gods, at the start of season two.
Any chance of anything to say 'we're working on difficulty'?
Echoing everything. Ability to add/remove leagues sound top notch
Mm, I have a question. If I have a team ie "Abba", and a young player, say "Mark" (18 years old), in a "regular game" he would probably improve his skills, but what would happen if I would add his team's championship after 2 years of game? I would have Mark with his 18 year old skills or there's a chance that they're improved? The same question it's possibile for players who are older, near the end of their careers, will they have worse skills? Or also, could they be already retired?
To anyone at SI, has the AI team building been improved this year or the AI in general as it gets a tad easy in the future?
Realise its already been asked by a few but not paticularly politely in my opinion.
Asking politely doesn't work either, believe me plenty have in the past but there's never once been any comment on it. Which usually gives you your answer.
But ok then... just for the sake of keeping it an annual tradition.... I'd also like to know "Have you fixed AI team building in this years game, SI?... pretty please say its so!"
I would like to get it on Steam but there are always overpriced at the start
Maybe they might offer a good pre-purchase deal -(lives in hope)!!
I've been on a 3 year hiatus from FM and now really looking forward to getting back. Most excited about the manage anywhere option, as it would be easy to spice up a long game by switching to a new country.
Still no sign of the magic phrases that would restoke my love:
"A complete overhaul of youth development"
"A complete overhaul of training and player development"
"A complete overhaul of scouting"
"A complete overhaul of AI squad management"
But happy to see tone, been arguing for that for a while. Hopefully see it in Press Conferences soon too?
Manage Anywhere, Anytime is a superb feature
Alot of people are alking about AI squad building and I have to agree that it is extremely important to improve this if possible. with the introduction of being able to add new leagues anytime more people are likely to play long term games, so the squad building abilities of the AI in the future need to be up to scratch. Im sure this is very difficult to code though, a few tweaks one way or the other could produce iether poor squad management or brilliant squad management so its a delicate balance to strike.
I hope that there is some indication from SI that this has been worked on and I believe a little explanation from them in the future as to how they have imporved may also eleviate (sp?) some peoples fears.
I just find that when I play a long term game, I know that if I stick with a club long enough, Im eventually going to have the best squad in my league and I'll ultimately win that league, and Im not that good at this game. I hope that this is something that Miles touches on in his Blogs (if there are any this year!).
I don't know if i'll get a response, but is there an advantage to starting the game initially and loading up 20 playable nations, as opposed to loading a different nation up as you play through the game?
Player-wise i mean, would i be lacking certain players in the league if i hadn't loaded it from the start? Or would i maybe be lacking regens in that certain league?
Really like the idea of being able to add and remove leagues. Will probably start the game on my current laptop which I try not to overload with huge amounts of leagues but looking to buy a new laptop sometime early next year. This feature will be a really good thing if it works well enough.
I'm also curious as to what happens when removing leagues. Do fringe players in those league's clubs disappear? It perhaps makes more sense to not remove players, but then keep adding and removing leagues over the seasons and the database is going to grow exponentially!
Anyway, I think this is a very handy feature, and can imagine it occupied you guys for a very long time at the office, not to mention giving more than a few headaches. It's a new reason for me not to buy the game until the final patch comes out tho, I can imagine it's going to open up a huge potential for bugs inevitably. As for the other features, I am a little underwhelmed to be honest, the match engine's looks don't seem to have been improved as much as I expected, the interface improvements I like a lot but aren't a key feature, the conversation "tone" thing seems more a nuisance than anything to me. But I expect more things to come up in the next few months, and I understand that FM is so evolved now it's very hard to picture a huge new thing coming up without messing up the gameplay.
The nations thing is awesome, really looking forward to that.
Great news! Looking forward to it already, especially the scouting improvements, and the "tone" aspect. Also glad to see the "manage anywhere, anytime" being included at last!!
I hope the scouting feature gets really fleshed out.
And also it would be great if you can make sure the own player's report tab actually contains a lot more helpful information that gets more and more detailed as the player spends more time with the club.
Looking forward to further details on the game.
It might be premature, but not too excited about the revised interaction system. It just sounds like more annoying mouse-clicking.
Looks like the font has been changed. I really like the font on FM11. Other than that, everything looks brilliant!
? idk why im the only one thats complaining about this, Idk why people want the game to be as easy as it was on fm2011, i see LOTS of people just achieving so easily during the years , i not saying thats a bad thing but i want it to be more of a challenge Long term and i want the computer to be smarter and make the right transfers and things, why do i have to be a team in the lowest team to make the game "hard", and even if i become a team from the lowest league in about 5 years into the game , the A.I becomes stupid and i tend to promote easy
All I want is a better match engine and more options for tactics.
Central defenders pull wide and DM comes deep for buildup?
3 Man defence stretches wide when on the ball and narrow when off the ball.
Option for wide (strikers)/midfielders/wingbacks to move central without ball (bielsa style).
Central defender moves into DM position when on the ball (barca style).
Looks like match engine is only getting graphical upgrade.. very disappointing
Really like the add/remove leagues feature. I know its work in progress but the ME looks pretty much the same as f11 so by the time the game comes out hopefully it`ll be a lot better. I also hope that players stop running towards the corner flag when running at goal. that is very annoying to see your player on what looks like a one on one head there. That has happened on every version of fm so not holding my breathe on that changing.
One thing i`d really like to see is player instructions for each player. So if you bring one on, you don`t have to change your tactics to suit him. Would make things a lot easier.
Another feature that needs improving is touchline instructions. At the moment if your 1:0 down with 10 mins left. You tell your players to attack nothing happens. they just pass the ball around with no sense of urgency.
Lets hope this time fm is playable out of the box and we don`t need to wait until the 3rd patch.

The announcement of the news for fm2012 is not at all what I expected or what many fans awaited despite some very interesting points
I really hope that they will announce major improvements in early September and will be more in our expectations:
- Management of the youngsters( 12 years old, 14 etc... )
- Youth Center more developed and more modernly polished
- Press conferences improved and and more modernly polished
- The press improved and more modernly polished
- The match preparation realistic (more deep like tactical)
- Above TRAINING more daily (schedule) more professional exercises (there are 100 in reality) or 3D (but that I can just dream!)
Other than that, I can not wait to hear the rest of the 750 new features !
But its been a lot longer than just 6 months. People have been asking for this to be looked at for at least two and a half years. Instead SI give us brand new features and don't fix or overhaul the poor AI squad building at all. They don't even talk about it either. Its seems to be a taboo subject to them - a don't mention it and people will forget about it type thing.... and this strategy works because you don't notice how poor the AI squad building is until you get into a long term save, and I'd hazard a guess most players don't play long-term so never even realise this flaw exists (you can tell the ones, they regurgitate the 'don't manage a good team' line whenever anyone mentions how easy the game becomes). Anyway, you're right, it probably will take a massive overhaul to make it better or work properly, maybe thats why they don't talk about it. Or maybe they've finally worked on it and are going to suprise us this year? We can live in hope
Why cant SI release the system specs. The reason i ask this, im disabled due to a work accident i had 3yrs ago and Football Manager keeps me sane during the day. Due to a limited income if the could release the specs then if i do need to upgrade pc i have a few months to sort this out. If its the same as FM11 then i would be delighted.
I too am desperate to see a VASTLY improved AI intelligence in the way they manage their squad, go after transfers and hopefully make it really hard for you to dominate- it is too easy and not so much fun at the moment imo when you reach the top. I want to see rich ambitious chairmen make it their mission to end your dominance and pour fortunes into getting the best talent around to do so- maybe even try to hire you for big money too, recognising the hue role the manager has in a clubs' success and trying to buy that in for his club, like Chelsea aiming to break Man Utd and formerly Arsenal dominance by hiring Mourinho/AVB.

was hoping for new tactical features and 64 bit support.
liking the new crowds in the stadium and the tone conversation looks good though.
There are some nice ideas and improvements there, but the key point for me will be when I see the impact of press conferences and team talks on players' performance. If you can ruin your team's morale by saying the wrong thing at the press conference like in FM 11, I'll be very disappointed. Fingers crossed.
Do people realistically expect SI to care for the A.I.? They haven't fixed it for years and almost every A.I. area of the game is terrible.
I Have a question - for those of us who enjoy the longer career saves working our way up from unemployed no-mark to champions of europe. Say im in the BSS managing Weston Super Mare and i'm having a blinder of a season. Now i only have the English leagues loaded - with the new league system and being able to choose which leagues are active - would a portugese team be able to come in and offer me a job or would i have to make the league playable and hope that someone comes in and offers me a job?
In an ideal world it would be great if this feature allowed for teams from other non-playable countries to offer us jobs if we are doing well etc and then become playable if we choose to accept the offer of a job!!!
Great news.
I want the national anthems for the internationals matches.
I'm presuming that when you add a league to being playable it doesn't become so until the end of the season for that division? If so how long does it take for all that infomation to be generated and players simmed up to date on that day?
All sounds promising, but would of preferred hearing 'Will optimize Quad Core Processors and that 8 gig of Ram you hae'
No match sounds on this years preview, I wonder if they have or are making an improvement on the same old plain default sounds.
Anyway the match engine looks good so far, keep up the good work SI.
I like the improvment on the crowd, especially in the Watford V Birmingham highlights.
With scarfs & flags / hand clapping and physically seeing the fans jump up from the seats when their team scores.
And with head shaking/ hands on head/ angry fist shake when the other team scores, looks very good indeed.

I really like the Manage Anywhere, Anytime feature, but I have a question
What about promotions and relegations? How will they be handled while the leagues are unplayable?
Any prospect of Euro and/or domestic league reshuffles some years into the future? Could be a tickbox option for tht to occur at a random time? Would like more variety in all of the interaction screens and the standard messages from staff. Two ways of saying the same thing is still more interssting than one way. Its only text, please SI make it even better! Cant wait for Patch 12.3
Are the players going to do press conferences and say stupid things?
Are newgens going to have controversies in their lives that makes them harder to manage? (I realise you cant really go mad with the real players in case the little sweethearts get upset at their implied naughtiness and bring out their lawyers!) Whatever happened to 'has personal problems', lets expand on that?
Sorry if this has all been asked and answered elsewhere btw
Could anyone see any difference between the Director cam and TV cam?
It seems pretty good, Liking the ideas of some of the new fetures the possiblity for my 2012 career save have really opened up with the mange anywhere anytime. Looking forward to seeing what effect Tone has on private chats, remeber when the feature was added last year players getting ofended to easily was a major problem when chatting with them. Hopfully it will makes the man management side of the game alot more fun now. The screens of the new team reports are looking like a massive improvement to the game as well.
Just out of intrest is there any plans to do a podcast in the build up to the release? Looking forward to listening to you Si guys chat about the game, football in genral and play abit of feature roulette,
sounding great always look forward to the new releases!! love the idea of adding extra playable nations to a saved game great option
hoping there will be the option of loaning players as part of a transfer deal(eg take man u for example say I want to buy rodwell everton might be more likely to sell if they get cash and say a player like macheda on loan for a season)
you get your transfer budget given to you earlier than now so you can make offers before window opens
would love the ability to add edited db's to saved games as per the extra playable nations option......or a saved game editor(so you can keep up with transfers/sackings/injuries/takeovers etc etc without waiting for lenghty updates
perhaps to make things even more realistic in player interaction there should be an option where you can tell one of your players to tap up a targeted player whilst on international duty on your behalf.......hows about being able to contact agents to do the same thing i.e. offering a contract before a deal has been done thus making a player request a transfer ...a bit naughty and i'm sure this is never done in real life

I don't have Germany loaded in my FM11 game. But I just looked at a players history for Mainz. I'm in 2014. Looking at Mainz, it seems they have spent a couple of years in the Bundasliga and a couple in a blank league, so I assume Mainz has been relegated and promoted in the last couple of game years - if this is true I guess this means the number of teams from the non-playable leagues able to appear in Europe will be larger. I think in previous verison the teams always stayed in their non-playable division year in year out.
I'm definitely ready to love this series all over again....

Don't take any anti-nausea or motion sickness medications without talking to your doctor first. Also, let him know if you can't keep down your prenatal vitamins.
Don't listen to people who tell you that your wife's morning sickness is all in her head. Certainly, stress can upset anyone's stomach, but the nausea that comes with pregnancy is a very real physical problem.
The following tricks have helped many women who have suffered nausea in pregnancy and have lived to tell about it:
If these home remedies don't work, talk to your doctor. She might advise you to try an antacid or a B6 vitamin supplement. If you're still spending too much time with your head in the toilet bowl and there's risk of dehydration, she might prescribe medication to calm the stomach upset.

I am connecting to a remote server over SSH but am running into a permissions issue.
My remote account is
thelq and primarily part of the group
thelq. I'm also part of the generic group
users. Another remote account called
game is primarily part of the group
users. On the remote server I can freely view and edit all of
game's files. However on the local server I'm apparently not part of the
users group. Strangely explicitly specifying the
users group for the gid option still doesn't allow me access to the
users group
Example of what I tried in command line:
[thelq@quackwall ~]$ sshfs -o idmap=user -o uid=1000 -o gid=1000 -o allow_other -o default_permissions quackgame:/home game-home
thelq@quackgame's password:
[thelq@quackwall ~]$ echo something >> game-home/game/INIT-SETUP
bash: game-game/game/INIT-SETUP: Permission denied
I'm confused on what else to do as Linux permissions are not my strong point. I was thinking that longing in as me on the remote machine would allow me access to everything the groups says I can but apparently not.
Any suggestions?
As per @penguin359's request

is there another herb that tastes like marjoram that can be used in this recipie?
Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Roasting isn't usually the first cooking method you think of for cauliflower but the results are quite delicious. The florets are cut into thick slices and tossed with extra-virgin olive oil and herbs. Wherever the flat surfaces come into contact with the hot roasting pan, a deep browning occurs that results in a sweet, nutty flavor.
109 Reviews for Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower
I have made this cauliflower recipe several times. It is my favorite recipe for that vegetable, making it so tasty. In fact, I have a cauliflower waiting and was just getting ready to look for the recipe. Thanks for making it easy!
made this a couple times now, a very tasty way to eat this veg without adding the typical cheese sauce! For anyone that doesn't like the "mushy cauliflower" this preparation keeps the veg tender crisp. I also do a similar oven roasting of a veg medley including cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant, asparagus, etc.
Really easy side dish. Very tasty interesting flavors. I did make a couple of changes though...I added a little curry powder and a few caraway seeds to the oil, salt and pepper. I didn't alter anything else and I must say I think it enhanced the flavor! My husband liked it so much he requested it two nights in a row!!!
This is a quick and tasty recipe!

Another weather system is due to impact the area on Wednesday. At this time, the best area for accumulating snow (1 – 3 inches) is to the north. Due to slightly warmer temperatures forecast for the southern Kansas, the transition from a rain/snow combination will be delayed until late in the evening, which will likely limit snowfall accumulations to light amounts for the area. Stay tuned for updates in the event there are any changes to the track of the system.

Efficient, agile, and surprisingly powerful, the smart fortwo can squeeze into the tightest parking space, and still have room for your next IKEA haul.
It was built to fit your environment, to accelerate quickly and maneuver with ease. Because the world moves fast, but smart moves faster. And with competitive pricing on gas and electric models, your wallet can breathe easy too.
Engineered with Mercedes-Benz, the smart fortwo was inspired by the idea that style and function should always intertwine. The products we use everyday should fit seamlessly into our lives.
When designing the smart fortwo, we knew that if we conserved space under the hood by placing the engine in the rear, we could have a surprisingly spacious cabin. And we knew that by widening the base and reducing overhang, we could create a car that was fast and fun to drive.
On the inside, the passenger seat folds a full 90�, allowing for even more storage space, which is easily accessible via the split-section tailgate. Decisions like this are why the smart fortwo feels spacious and sporty, and why it received a prestigious Red Dot Award for Product Design.
The core of smart is all about well-designed products – cars and accessories that don't just look cool, but serve a purpose too. The result is a car that makes life easier, safer and a lot more fun.
From the shape of the nose to the uniquely bold taillights, Michael Gebhardt and his team have spent years poring over every detail of the all-new smart fortwo. As the head designer, Michael faced the challenge of evolving the car, while retaining its original, iconic dimensions.
"We tend to use the term 'fun-ctional design'...on the one hand, there is the functional brain factor, on the other hand the emotional heart factor." This approach can be seen in several aspects of the new car, like the Tridion Safety Cell. First and foremost, it functions as a state-of-the-art safety system, but it also doubles as a significant design element.
And as cars become more technologically advanced, the amount of cables and electronics have increased, creating another challenge that they were able to overcome. "In the end, it is about creating a perfect urban concept that works anywhere around the globe."
After nearly a decade, their work is finally done. What began as sketches in a design studio in Germany is the all-new smart fortwo, now at a dealer near you.
Everything about the smart fortwo is a little bit unorthodox. That's why people like Matthias Gottwald, the Lead Interior Designer, have to bring outside thinking to the inside of the car.
According to Matthias, if you drive a smart, you should become part of the city. With that as his guiding philosophy, he began reflecting on the perfect relationship between inner and outer values. This inspired the architecture and materials you'll find inside the new smart fortwo.
"The smart dashboard is covered in a mesh fabric; a high-tech fabric often used for sneakers. Our customers really appreciate that their small, affordable car has more to offer than plain, plastic surfaces," says Gottwald. By incorporating different contrasts and textures, they develop what experts call a "Fabric ID," an identity created by the choice of fabrics. "The result: almost anyone who gets into the new smart first touches the surfaces."
From the textured fabrics to the more polished details and finish, every element of the smart's interior is chosen to play together, to create an environment that feels roomy, warm and inviting. Once inside, you may never want to leave.
It's small enough, big enough, and certainly fun enough. Designed to conquer the city streets, the 2016 smart fortwo is perfectly adaptable to whatever city you're in.

What is the meaning of the following passage?
I don't know what your odds are in the world as a whole, but as far as the population of this car goes? You're a veritable Mack Daddy.
What is the meaning of the following passage?
closed as not a real question by simchona♦, kiamlaluno, Shog9♦ Nov 16 '11 at 23:59
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
As Thursagen cited, a "mack daddy" is very good with the ladies, a womanizer, etc. Throughout the episode, Leonard has been hoping to start a relationship with Penny, and so far has failed. In the car with Howard the pervert, Raj the nervous mute, and Sheldon, he is the male with the best shot at a relationship with Penny. The quote boils down to: compared to all the other men in the world, Leonard has no chance with Penny, but compared only to the men in the car, his success is almost certain.
Ok, let's break this sentence up.
Let's start with "Mack Daddy". According to the M-W Dictionary, a "Mack Daddy" is:
Sheldon could have been meaning that Leonard was the best (at driving?) or at catching women. Sheldon may have said this due to something Leonard did previously. This something previously made Sheldon think that Leonard was the best at catching women.
The best at catching women? In terms of what? The phrase "I don't know what your odds are in the world as a whole, but as far as the population of this car goes?" limits this. That is, Leonard, is the "Mack Daddy" in the car only. Sheldon doesn't know if Leonard is a Mack Daddy compared to the world, he only knows Leonard is a Mack Daddy compared to the other people in the car.

Quickly and clearly see differences in schema objects and table data across instances of your database.
Generate update scripts without writing a single line of PL/SQL.
Take the complexity out of recording schema changes in Git, Subversion or Team Foundation Server.
With source control and manual deployments in place, you have everything you need to set up the next step in Database Lifecycle Management: continuous integration.
The DLM Automation Suite for Oracle lets you use the command line versions of Schema Compare and Data Compare for Oracle to set up a CI process on your build server.
You can connect the command line versions to the build tool you already use, so you get more from your existing infrastructure, and use a consistent process for application and database development.

"This really is the best tool possible to make database upgrades between different environments.
I work at a bank and the rules here are very restrictive. The only way to ensure that we deploy with zero errors is to use Schema Compare for Oracle"
"Redgate's Schema Compare is by far the best schema comparison tool on the market. It now takes just 45 seconds for me to compare 6,000 objects in different instances of my database.
This used to take 45 minutes in Oracle SQL Developer!"
"We plan to integrate Data Compare for Oracle in our nightly builds. At the moment, all our data related changes have to be scripted manually, which is error prone and not very productive.
With Data Compare for Oracle, we can easily compare the data in two different database builds and generate the synchronization script. It's going to save at least an hour of development time each week – and stop me going grey so quickly."
"Redgate's Schema Compare for Oracle accurately compared Peoplesoft Financials in 38 minutes. Embarcadero completed the same job in over 12 hours, and we simply couldn't get Toad's schema compare tool in their DBA suite to even finish the job, it would just error out."

I tried this recipe with a few changes. Instead of the oats I use almond meal, I use olive oil instead of canola and use 2/3 cup Splenda brown sugar blend. I bake them for about 11-13 minutes. Everyone who has tried my version have absolutely loved them. They disappear quite fast. I love these so much better than any store bought brand, including the refrigerated dough kind. They do come out cripsy, so if you are a chewy fan, you may want to pass.
Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
From EatingWell: Spring 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004), July/August 2012
EatingWell reader Beverley Sharpe of California contributed this recipe. She updated a favorite treat by cutting back on sugar and incorporating whole grains. To increase protein, she replaces the rolled oats with 1 cup almond meal.
179 Reviews for Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are wonderful cookies. At first taste, I thought they weren't sweet enough. But they grew on me quickly. I only wish they were less crispy--I like chewy ccc's. But I would definitely make again.
What a great alternative! I substituted unsweetened applesauce for the oil & used 63% dark chocolate chips & baked about 11-12 minutes. I can't wait to experiment adding nuts, wheat bran & other flavors!
If you are looking for a healthy recipe that is as good as regular chocolate chip cookies this is not it. They are ok, but chewy and grainy. My husband and I do not like the texture at all and they are not nearly as sweet. I was hoping they would be very similar to my old standby, but sadly they are not. I know they are a healthy version, but I think I would rather eat the regular cookies less often. They are much better.
My kids ate them! Enough said

Upside Down, Inside Out, and Other Acrobatics for Organizing Your Content
Judith Shenouda
Just like an acrobat, content for your many publications can be shaped into different forms. Topics can be organized like a pyramid, with the most important content at the top and the least important at the bottom; or like an inverted pyramid, topics can built to a crescendo, an aha moment, or even a punch line. Content can start from the inside—with the miniscule, the details, the examples—and build outward to a generalization. Besides this inductive method of organization, there is the deductive approach in which the publication progresses from a generalization to the specifics. In this webinar, we will look at examples for organizing your content, with its many twists and turns.
Upside Down, Inside Out, and Other Acrobatics for Organizing Your Content builds on the earlier webinar, Patterns for Organizing Content—Many More than A to Z, which introduced more than 15 patterns for organizing content. We will examine some of these patterns in depth and uncover ways to use them when organizing technical and other publications. In addition, we'll look at mind maps, card sorts, and others tools for organizing content into readable, usable shapes. Attendance at the earlier webinar is not a prerequisite.
This webinar will cover:
- Signals and cues that writers can use to help the reader understand how content is organized, resulting in improved mastery of the content
- Examples of various organizational patterns
- Mind maps, card sorts, and other tools for organizing content

Does the Zariski topology on a ring (not commutative in common) form a compact or paracompact space and why?
It is compact (or quasi-compact?).
Let $R$ be a ring. The Zariski topology has closed sets given by $V(I) = \{P \mid I \subset P\}$. So let $I_\alpha$ be a family of ideals such that $\bigcap V(I_\alpha) = \emptyset = V(R)$.
This means that $\sum I_\alpha = R$. However, as $1 \in R$, we can write $1 \in \sum I_\alpha$, and so we have that $1 = i_{j_1} + \cdots + i_{j_k}$ for some indices ${j_\ell}$. But then $V(I_{j_1}) \cap \cdots \cap V(I_{j_k}) = V(R) = \emptyset$ and so Spec $R$ satisfies the finite intersection property, and is compact.
I admit that I'm worried that I'm subtly using commutativity in here somewhere.
It looks like the accepted answer to this question didn't address some of the questions asked in the comments above, so I thought I'd fill in some details. This is really just a long comment; sorry I had to include it as an answer.
It seems that the question is regarding the Zariski topology on two-sided prime ideals. The word "ideal" below refers to two-sided ideals.
A prime ideal of a noncommutative ring $R$ is a proper ideal such that, for any ideals $I$ and $J$ of $R$, if the ideal product $IJ$ is contained in $P$, then either $I \subseteq P$ or $J \subseteq P$. Let $\mathrm{Spec}(R)$ denote the set of prime ideals of $R$.
The Zariski topology on $\mathrm{Spec}(R)$ can be defined just as in the commutative case, as stated in Simon Rose's answer: the closed subsets of $\mathrm{Spec}(R)$ are precisely those of the form $V(I) := \{P \in \mathrm{Spec}(R) : I \subseteq P\}$. It's easy to see that $\bigcap_j V(I_j) = V(\sum I_j)$ for any set of ideals $\{I_j\}$ of $R$, where $\sum I_j$ is the smallest ideal of $R$ containing the $I_j$ (and is equal to the set of all finite sums of elements from the $I_j$). To see that these are closed under finite unions, one uses the definition of prime ideal to see that $V(I) \cup V(J) = V(IJ)$. That is, for any prime $P$ of $R$ and any ideals $I$ and $J$ of $R$, the statement $IJ \subseteq P$ is equivalent to the statement that either $I \subseteq P$ or $J \subseteq P$.

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald file photo
Steve Lewis/Durango Herald file photo
This is becoming somewhat of a regular occurrence for Alex Herrera.
The Fort Lewis College men�s basketball standout picked up his fourth weekly award of the season from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference on Monday when he was tabbed the league�s Defensive Player of the Week.
It�s his second time as the conference�s top defensive performer this season. Herrera swept offensive and defensive honors Jan. 28, and he earned another offensive award Feb. 11.
In the 17th-ranked Skyhawks� win over previously unbeaten and No. 1 Metro State on Friday, Herrera pulled in five defensive rebounds, blocked five shots and held Roadrunners center Jonathan Morse to just six points.
The next night, the Ignacio High School alumnus chipped in two blocks, six defensive rebounds and two steals in a loss to Regis. In that contest, Herrera scored a career-high 26 points, as well, on 11 of 16 shooting.
�Alex has progressed all year long,� Fort Lewis head coach Bob Hofman said in a news release to The Durango Herald. �His stamina is getting better and better. He�s becoming such a great overall presence on the court, regardless of the stats.�
In less than two seasons in an FLC uniform � he�s a redshirt sophomore � Herrera already ranks fifth in school history in blocked shots with 96, and his 70 this season leaves him just 13 short of the single-season record of 83 set by Brice Searles in the 1984-85 season.
After last weekend, Herrera leads the RMAC with 3.0 blocks per game and a field-goal percentage of 62.6 percent. He�s also third with 9.1 rebounds per game and ninth with 15.7 points per game.
FLC (18-5, 15-5 RMAC) will visit Western State on Friday and Colorado Mesa on Saturday.

If an Attack Power is say Dex vs. AC, but you're using a Heavy Throw weapon (which is then based on Strength) does the Power still count from Dex?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
No, the attack power should be used as written.
Heavy Thrown - Compendium (emphasis is mine):
In the Players Handbook, page 216/17, weapon properties are described. I assume you have already read through this but, the description of 'Heavy Thrown' weapons is
'You hurl a weapon thrown from you hand, rather than using it to loose a projectile. A ranged basic attack with a heavy thrown weapon uses your Strength instead of your Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls.'
This would indicate that the Str instead of Dex rule applies only to heavy thrown weapons when they are used in basic attacks and not powers. However, as a player I would speak to my DM about this. If the power is something that heavily relies upon accuracy, perhaps Dex should be the determining attribute, regardless of weapon used. If, however, it is simply a ranged weapon power, I would ask my DM to use Str as the determining attribute when using heavy thrown weapons.
As a DM I would let my players use Str but, if you want to solidly stick to the rules, only basic attacks. Hope this helped.
