Tsechu - Festival at Wangdue Phodrang
It is a season of festivities in Bhutan, and we had a chance to visit two of them in different places while we are here.
The celebrations usually happen in the courtyards of fortresses called dzongs. But this festival at Wangdue Phodrang was organized in an open space, since the fortress was destroyed in a fire few months ago.
This image shows monks performing cham dances during the festivals. These dances are traditional rituals of Vajrayana Buddism. The highly structured dances contain different purposes, such as warding off evil, imparting messages on Buddhist priniciples, etc.

Language and Ideology
Language and Ideology
Course: Language and Ideology
Instructor: Snježana Kordić
Why does language in opposition to other topics raise people on their feet, disturb them and make them ready for conflicts? Language is a constant source of conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro – today, as well as 10, 20 or 40 years ago. A notion occurred between old and young, educated and uneducated people; through all social classes from politicians to railway workers that their language is endangered by the other nation. And therefore, survival of their own nation and every individual is in question. At the same time, a widespread opinion exists that a nation cannot survive without having its own language which is not shared with any other nation. Although, this notion is false and being denied by various examples of different nations, domestic environments have very few people who would point out to these examples. Politicians, media and most intellectuals have contributed to an atmosphere were reasonable and pacific discussion about language is almost impossible. The intension to objectively approach the topic of language is seen as an attack and received by an eruption of emotions. National elites use the issue of language as a smoldering fire which at any moment can fan into a serious conflagration.
Having this in mind, only by getting an insight into facts and distributing this knowledge further to broader population layers we will be able to remove a serious potential for conflict from the language issue. With this goal, the course will be based on epistemology of the linguistic science, and present an insight into the basic socio-linguistic notions which often are mentioned in the public space without explaining key facts. The course will also illuminate basic events linked to language, about which many heard but only in the version suitable for the national mythos. The course selection takes into account another exceptional feature of our domestic environments: Namely, it is characteristic that, as soon as a discussion about language is started, notions like the nation, identity, culture, and history are brought into the discussion. In so doing, an ignorant, dilettantish, and populist approach towards these notions is being used. Therefore, these notions will also present an important issue during the course. Considering this, the course will present an interdisciplinary approach, since besides linguistic epistemology, it will use cognitions from sociology, anthropology, psychology, and historiography.
Work Methodology: Lectures combined with questioning and open dialogue; individual work through Internet research; work in pairs; group work; short reports; discussion; round-table discussions; role-play; argumentation, structuring, and analyzing of audio-video and written materials.
Course Goals: Broadening of knowledge; exercising critical thinking, reasonable and pacific argumentation; strengthening abilities to publicly advocate scientifically proven apprehensions.

The Federal Communications Commission has allowed holders of 700 MHz B-block wireless licenses an extension until at least December to finish building 35% of their network's coverage area, a delay similar to one earlier granted A-block holders. The extra time only applies to carriers who have not yet filed construction notices for any of their B-block licenses.

The Yakima SweetRoll Kayak Carrier makes loading your boat as easy as it's gonna get! Two front and two rear saddles with integrated rollers will have you and your friends on the water in no time. No tools needed to mount to any bar type makes it simple to install. And the spring-loaded base automatically adjusts to your boat when loading.

Click Here to launch fit guide.
Works as it should, the rollers make loading pretty easy. Gives much better support than the j cradles I was trying to fit my thresher in(they dented the hull, these don't). My only complaint is that the locks aren't included.
The SweetRoll Kayak Carrier is a good quality kayak support. However if they are mounted on a roof rack with a round pipe they tend to rotate around the pipe no matter how tight you make the bracket. This happens mainly with the rear support bracket as the kayak is loaded on or off the roof rack. I solved the probem my drilling horizontally through each bracket in a drill press and then mounting on the pipe, drilling through the pipe and installing a 1/4" Stainless steel carriage head through bolt. Install the carriage bolt with the round end by the original tightening thumb head bolt. The carriage bolt helps tighten the bracket to the pipe and prevents the bracket from rotating on the pipe and also deters theft of the bracket without the use of the lock. Be carefull to not over tighten the bolt or the nylon bracket may crack or distort. I hope that this tip helps everyone with the rotating problem.

OPOC Is Dead
Opinion: Whois going to save domain owners? Looks like they're on their own.For the first time in many years ICANN is meeting in, of all places, the United States of America. Nice of them to show that they know the USA is still as relevant in Internet matters as, say, Tunisia. The most news from the meeting has been generated by the ongoing meetings to discuss proposals to change rules for the whois database. ICANNs GNSO (Generic Names Supporting Organization) formed a Whois Privacy task force which has been looking into the problems with the whois database for a long time. Earlier this year they issued a preliminary report and asked for public comment. As of Oct. 31, the comments are closed. The report summarizing the public comment makes clear what seemed obvious for a long time: Intellectual property interests and law enforcement are dead-set against any privacy protections in whois. Their remarks dominated the public comment, according to the report.
Someone has figured out how to hijack domain research requests and steal the domains in advance. Click here to read more.
- The Whois Working Group did not reach consensus on a critical aspect of the OPOC policy such as standards for the timely transmission of requests, mechanisms for enforcing OPOC compliance with its obligations, and the mechanisms for providing legitimate third parties with access to unpublished data.
- If OPOC is not implemented, all non-consensus Whois provisions in registry and registrar agreements should sunset.

China Bluff Exposed, Regime Overthrown
China's communist regime continued to print money, lending it to everybody that wanted and didn't want it. The giant housing, infrastructure, and manufacturing bubble came to a violent crash when the debts where not paid and inflation forced the authorities to tighten despite massive unemployment. The combination of high inflation and high unemployment in the urban centers took the people to the streets. The Chinese citizens refused to accept state intervention in the economy and their personal life demanding more personal and economic freedom resulting in prolonged civil unrest which almost reached a full scaled civil war. The collapse of the Chinese regime and economy resulted in a colossal bust for commodity prices, albeit temporarily, and caused a severe recession in Australia, Brazil, Russia, Argentina, and the Gulf States.
Despite China's Collapse Commodity Prices Turn Up Again
Just a year after China's colossal bust commodity prices resumed their up trend. General scarcity combined with large physical deficits and money printing worldwide caused commodity prices to go up despite a weak world economy. Investors and eventfully the public started to seriously question the legitimacy of fiat currencies around the world.
New Economic Term Developed, A Yo-Yo Depression
Throughout first 15 years of the 21st century investors and economists where debating heavily upon the economic environment. Is it deflation, inflation, stagflation or hyperinflation? Eventually, a new term emerged- Yo-Yo depression which describes an economic environment in which the economy moves violently every year or so from inflation to deflation.
In How to profit from the coming collapse of China we explained that China is facing a severe financial crisis due to three main reasons:
Well, in the last few days the notion that China might face a slowdown gained momentum (or god forbid a "R" or even a "D") which took down global markets, along with continued headwinds fro Europe.
What are the implications of a Chinese depression?
The major driver behind increasing minerals and energy commodity prices since early 2009 has been demand in China, where consumption has grown and offset falling demand in major developed economies such as the United States, the European Union and Japan. Demand for commodities within China has been underpinned by the government's economic stimulus package, which is targeted to infrastructure developments such as roads, railways and electricity networks. The stimulus package has also buoyed consumer sentiment which has supported demand for consumer durables such as automobiles and electrical goods. For many commodities, stock building has provided additional support for imports.
The increase in China's minerals and energy demand since early 2009 has been accompanied by significant increases in imports of some commodities such as iron ore, thermal and metallurgical coal and copper. This rise in imports has in turn provided support for production in exporting countries such as Australia and Brazil.
So obviously, a crisis in China means a fall in commodity prices and a move towards very low inflation rates worldwide or even outright deflation. That will probably mark the peak of the deflationary pressures confronting the globes.
China's inflation is keeping oil prices uncomfortably high
China's money and credit supply is growing at an annual rate of 30%. Credit growth of 30% in China is equivalent to a 10% growth rate in the United States (Since China's economy is a 1/3 of the size of the U.S economy).
China's money supply (M2) is about the size of the equivalent number in the U.S(north of 8 trillion U.S$) So, the affect of the 30% growth rate in China's money supply is affecting the world's economy as if the United States M2 was growing at the same rate.
The Federal Reserve has stopped Q.E for that preciase reason- if it resumes Q.E it will face and oil price spike that will take oil above 100 per barrel. It is waiting for a market crash that will cause a collapse of oil price.
However, since China is inflating in such a rapid pace, oil prices are lagging the stock market and the EUR/USD. Although the dollar is up 20% versus the Euro oil has only fallen 10% from it's peak in early 2010.
A crisis in China will enable Bernanke to really print money
Bernanke is a student of the Great Depression and he thinks the solution is to print money (Quantitative Easing) in order to prevent a debt deflation spiral. However, he is face with a double whammy -- on one hand money supply is contracting along with credit and on the other hand the price of oil remains stubbornly high.
The decision by the Fed to end Q.E at March 31st 2010 has marked the peak of the global reflationary cycle that started when Q.E was announced at March 2009. So we have seen since then a strong dollar and weakness in risk assets.
It should be obvious to anyone that the Fed will not just sit by the sideline and watch the world economic system- it will try to inflate. But, in the meantime it is waiting for the price of oil to fall so it will not be trapped in a situation similar to what it faced in July 2008, when oil reached 145$ a barrel in the midst of a massive credit contraction.
So once the demand for commodities falls we will see Q.E return with a vengeance.
China's crisis will end the global wage arbitrage
First in manufacturing, now in services, the global labour arbitrage has been unrelenting in pushing US pay rates down to international norms. But the real wage compression in the US has not been uniform across the income spectrum. In large part, that has occurred because increasingly broad segments of the American labour market are now exposed to a uniquely powerful competitive force - the IT-enabled arbitrage.
Courtesy of the hyper-speed of sharply accelerating Internet penetration, the global labour arbitrage has pushed into areas that historically have been unaccustomed to wage competition. In earlier research I found that the disconnect between compensation and productivity growth during the current economic expansion has been much greater in services than in manufacturing. This once non-tradable segment of the US economy is now feeling the increasingly powerful forces of the global labour arbitrage for the first time ever.
The global wage arbitrage has tied the hands of the Federal Reserve. When it tried to inflate, the money went to commodity prices but not to wage increases in the United States. As a result, the attempt to reinflate in 2008 only resulted in stronger inflation, since the ability of the American household to repay his debt was diminished -- not only was his wage stagnating but on top of that he had to pay much more for petrol.
Wages in China are rising at a rapid pace of 30% and more. This is closing the global wage arbitrage at a very rapid pace. China simply can't play the cheap currency game anymore -- the printed money has finally found it's way to wages.
The bulls my argue that this phenomena is good development since it will help rebalance the global economy. However, what they fail to understand is the simple fact that business owners in China can't handle 30% wage increases since there is too much over capacity and since the Yuan has already strengthened 20% versus the euro.
After the Chinese growth story will halt the will be able to resume Q.E, and more importantly it will start to affect American wages, since manufacturing will need to return to the United States.
Investment implications
• The Chinese hot stocks like Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) and New Oriental Education and Technology Group (NYSE:EDU) are the last defense of China bulls. They are traded in the NYSE, and it seems that western investors have yet to waken to the fact that China is going to crash. (Investors in the A share market have been selling since August 2009, when the Chinese market topped) .
• All commodity producers are extremely vulnerable in the short to medium term (names like Rio Tinto (RTP) and Potash (NYSE:POT)).
• Oil producing countries are going to suffer (RSX could be a good short).
• An investor has to be ready to "shift" his investments from deflationary oriented assets (Dollars, Swiss Francs, T-bills etc.) to inflationary oriented assets once Q.E 2.0 starts.
• Gold is the only asset that will perform well both in inflation and deflation and for that reason it should be the constant part in one's portfolio. During deflationary periods it should serve as a hedge for short positions, and during inflationary periods it should be part of an "inflation basket."

6 Things These Caregivers Wish They'd Known Sooner
Plus: 4 Amazing Stories of Caregivers
Lonnie Ali, wife of Muhammad Ali, shares her 10 Best Tips For Being a Caregiver and 10 Ways To Take Care of Yourself.
There are so many books and websites offering help to caregivers that you can get overwhelmed by all there is to learn and do. But sometimes what matters most are the insights that come from just doing the job. Here, a few real-life rules of caregiving.
- 1.
It's okay to push.
"I struggled with how much to respect Marjorie's rather stubborn nature and how much to say, 'No, we've got to make a change,'" says Phil Baer, who helped care for his sister, Marjorie, after her brain cancer diagnosis. "She would take a fall and just wave it off. But one of her doctors took me aside and said, 'Look, she's really got to have someone with her at all times.' And that's when we brought in some very fine helpers."
- 2.
Don't take it personally.
Illnesses such as stroke and Alzheimer's disease can cause upsetting personality changes, says Susan Morris, whose father had a stroke. "I thought he was angry with me," she says, "but I came to realize it was partly because of physiological changes. And that he wasn't really angry at me but at the situation in general—and who can blame him? But he's a grown man, and it was up to him to come to terms with it."
- 3.
It's easy to over-share.
Online "care pages" at sites like caringbridge.org make it simple to update friends and distant family on a loved one's condition, but you can find yourself getting into details your loved one might prefer to keep private. "Some people sent mass e-mails about personal aspects of Marjorie's care that didn't need to go to everyone," says Ruth Henrich, part of Marjorie Baer's network of friends. You can set up different e-mail groups on these pages if you want some messages to go only to caregivers.
- 4.
Protect, but not too much.
"When Muhammad first started going to a gym for physical therapy [for his Parkinson's disease], people wanted to be accommodating, so they put him in a separate area where he could have privacy," says Lonnie Ali, wife of the boxing legend. "Muhammad got bored out of his mind! We ended up putting him in with the public so he could show off what he could do."
- 5.
Love goes through changes.
If a parent with dementia no longer acts like the person you knew, your feelings are likely to change. This can actually help you cope, says Julie Winokur, whose father, Herbie, had dementia. "I think you let go of your parents in small increments as they slowly disappear," she says. "Creating some distance is a matter of self-preservation."
- 6.
Divvy up the work.
If you're a hands-on caregiver, your distant siblings can find lots of ways to chip in—especially if you ask. "My sister helps with our parents' costs," Morris says. "And I delegate all the caregiving to her when she visits—she'll even buy groceries and cook a meal for my family. I'm really able to get a break."
Thanks! You're on our list.
And about to get a whole lot healthier.

Age gap means very little. Even at your ages, a 1.5 year gap isn't a big deal.
17 yo girl to 15 turn 16 yo guy is actually a big difference in social circles at least. if the girl is down with that then she really likes you. this usually leads to marriage..... ahh what do I know. you can divide my age by that...times uh nevermind lol.
Never really been on a "date" but have my fair share of misery.
So there's this girl who I like. I've told her all about my past and she's also shared something about her. This all happened yesterday, just today I got a message that I can only be a good friend and never be a good friend. She told me that she wanted me to know the future scope as I may not expect something that is not possible from her side, and she can't deliver it. It was when I didn't even tell her if I have any feelings nor are do I know of any feelings from her side. She's single and I got the correct signs I think.
This was when I had decided that no dating for me, so definitely no more girls from now on.
God, them girls really think in mysterious ways.
Single, gamer and an audio lover B)
I wasted a lot of my time and a lot of money on a lot of bad dates to figure that one out. Where was your uncle when I needed him?
I actually study my friends' and my brother's date and see how it usually end up, and I make sure I won't repeat those silly mistakes they made to disappoint their "other-half". I though fun date is just wasting time IMO
And for some people, that may actually be their ideal.
Keep the stories coming, as I wont be posting any anytime soon, as everything is going smoothly with my long term friend come girlfriend :)
Although she sometimes complains about my headphone addiction/obssesion. It's worrying when your girlfriend would rather see porn in your internet history than head-fi...

The drug is pyridostygmine bromide, known as PB, which the Pentagon distributed to 600,000 US soldiers in 1991 to counteract the nerve agents tabun and soman if they were used by Iraq. PB has long been suspected as a possible cause of the illnesses affecting veterans, which have become known as Gulf war syndrome.
The Pentagon said last week that it would not use PB in future unless it had intelligence reports that nerve agents were being used against US troops. But Jackson Eaton, writing about Gulf war syndrome at Princeton University, has found evidence that some US troops had taken far more than the prescribed number of three PB pills a day. He quotes Major Franklin Moreno, who commanded a Ranger company in the war, as saying: "It turned out that the pill gave you a head rush when you took it the first few times. And soldiers started to overdose on PB. We had one soldier who took 21 PB tablets in a day."
Major Moreno said that when he took the drug, "everything went wavy". After a week he told his men to stop taking the tablets. "It was crazy," he said. "Here we were in a go-to-war situation, and we had soldiers who were getting high off this drug." A fortnight later General Barry McCaffrey, commanding the 24th Mechanised Division, ordered his men to cease taking the pills.
British troops were also allowed to take large quantities of the tablets - which they knew as Naps (Nerve Agent Pre-treatment Sets) - without supervision. Tony Flint, a spokesman for the National Gulf Veterans and Families Association, said: "There was no control over it. They just gave you a bunch of tablets and said `Take three a day'. When the Scuds were coming in, the guys were shoving whole handfuls into their mouths."
Ironically, while PB was issued to protect against soman and tabun, US intelligence in the Gulf war was that Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi leader, had stockpiles of the nerve agent sarin. Senator Jay Rockefeller, the senior Democrat on the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, last week said the Pentagon "has finally acknowledged that our troops were given a drug to protect against a nerve agent they knew the enemy did not have".
The use of PB was controversial even in 1991, because it had not been fully tested by the US Food and Drug Administration and the Pentagon had to get a waiver to use it. Because so many of those suffering from the symptoms of Gulf war syndrome - chronic fatigue, headaches, nausea, diarrhoea, depression, joint and muscular pain, rashes, memory loss and insomnia - were far from the battlefront, it has always seemed possible that one of the antidotes used against chemical weapons might be responsible. It was not known before, however, that many US troops were taking far more PB tablets than prescribed.
Gulf war syndrome has taken bizarre forms. Steve Buyer, who served with US forces in the Gulf and is now a Republican Congressman from Indiana, says he has become allergic to anything green, such as trees or grass, since the conflict. Other Gulf veterans hitherto in perfect health have fallen seriously and mysteriously ill. A college football player and wrestler has died from multiple cancers. A helicopter pilot is undergoing chemotherapy, and his daughter was born with deformed feet.
The Pentagon was also criticised for failing to tell US troops that they were taking PB at the time because it did not want to tip off Iraq about its precautions against nerve gas attack. Although dubious about the prevalence - or even the existence - of Gulf war syndrome, the Pentagon is in a poor position to defend itself because of its prolonged denials - now abandoned - that the use of the Agent Orange defoliant in Vietnam damaged the health of US soldiers.

The dominant usage in NIH-funded grants is in the field of site-directed spin-labeling (SDSL) using nitroxide radical spin labels to probe molecular structure. The Technology Research and Development (TR&D) component of this application for continued support of the National Biomedical EPR Center, a P41 Research Resource, focuses on technology enhancement for SDSL applications of EPR. The TR&D component is tightly linked to the Collaborative component, with most collaborations falling in the SDSL classification. Applications involving metal ions are next among NlH-supported grants using EPR, and in this submission, special emphasis is placed in the Service component on making EPR capabilities available to this community. Training and Dissemination components are broadly based and vigorous. We introduced the technology of non-adiabatic rapid sweep (NARS) spectroscopy in the current funding period as a general purpose replacement for phase-sensitive detection (PSD) in EPR spectroscopy. NARS capabilities will be built at L-, X-, Q-, W-, and D-band. Extension to adiabatic rapid sweep (ARS) was demonstrated at W-band during the current funding period, establishing feasibility for Fourier transform EPR using ARS technology with arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) sweep, which is proposed. The intermediate "passage" range of magnetic field sweep will be used to probe very slow motions. Microwave frequency sweep will be developed at Q-, W-, and D-band. TR&D Project 1 focuses on development of the new technology at L,- X-, and Q-band;Project 3 carries the technology to W- and D-band;and Project 2 focuses on two L-band applications: distance determination at room temperature to 40 A and L-band electron-electron double resonance (ELDOR) for measurement of protein and membrane electrostatic potentials. The M = 0 line of perdeutero 14N spin labels is narrow and very nearly isotropic, making it an ideal probe for these two experiments. New resonators tailored for NARS detection are proposed. The ten collaborations are very tightly linked to the three TR&D projects. The strong support letter for this project from Prof. Wayne L. Hubbell, UCLA, who is also chairman of the External Advisory Committee for the Center, is notable. Collaborations demonstrate widespread interest in the SDSL community. The TR&D theme in this submission is non-adiabatic, adiabatic, and rapid passage technology development across a wide range of microwave frequencies for SDSL research. The NIH RePORTER database reveals 124 R0I research grants that use EPR. We serve the holders of these grants to enhance the nation's biomedical research. Progress in the current funding period includes 220 papers.
Molecular dynamics occur in all biological molecules across a wide range of motional frequencies, some of which are central to biological function. The nitroxide radical spin-label method, based on EPR, is suitable for the study of molecular dynamics, including dynamics with characteristic motional periods of a millisecond to a microsecond that are biologically relevant. The proposal applies new EPR spectrometer technology with many innovative features to characterize protein and membrane dynamics.

What I did
Casa Histórica de la Independencia
Catedral de San Miguel de Tucumán
La Merced Church
Plaza de la Independencia
My experience started in Buenos Aires, on December 30th when I went to the bus station to take my bus to San Miguel de Tucum�n.
The situation at the station was almost chaotic, because thousands and thousands of people wanted to spend the New Year's Eve in a different town. As well there were plenty of people saying goodbye to their relatives. That made it very difficult to walk from one side to another of the station. Fortunately I could take the bus on time.
At 21.30, the bus started the trip. It lasted about 16 hours from which I could only sleep 2, because there was a baby who was crying all night long.
When I arrived, there was Stefan�a waiting for me. I knew her from a Pink Floyd forum some time before. She was very nice. I spend the day with her and she acted as a personal guide for me.
First of all I went to the hostel where I wanted to stay (Tucum�n Hostel), but there wasn't any place. So the staff recommended me to ask in another hostel near there. I finally stayed in La Posta del Viajero. I left my backpack and went to walk with Stef.
She showed me around the city. Although the weather was very humid and warm, we had a very nice day walking around the city.
We visited the Historical House Casa Hist�rica de la Independencia (where Argentine independence was signed in July 9th, 1816). It's a beautiful colonial-style house, and inside it works a museum, but we couldn't get in because it was closed.
We went to Independencia Square (the main square). In its center, there's a beautiful sculpture from Lola Mora (a famous argentine sculptress) which represents the Liberty (La Libertad).
Stef showed me the most important buildings.
In all the northwestern part of Argentina there are many colonial-style churches. Tucum�n was not the exception. We visited the Cathedral and La Merced Church (where there's a figure of the Virgin Mary holding the office staff which was given by Manuel Belgrano, a national hero).
At night, for the New Year's Eve, Stef had to spend it with her family, so I spend it at the hostel. We celebrated with the hostel staff: Mart�n and his wife (the owners). They organized a special lunch with the other guests: 2 canadian girls, a couple from Tigre (Buenos Aires) and Gustavo, a guy from Trelew (Argentine Patagonia).
At 12 we toasted and after that we celebrated in a small but fun party until daybreak.
Later the weather changed. It was cloudy and not as warm as before. Suddenly it started to rain a lot. There was a big storm. I ran inside the hostel, but it couldn't stand the rain and the water came in. It was flooded. I looked outside and the streets looked like rivers…
Fortunately it ended soon, and the flood slowly disappeared. I had a fine weather at night, so I could sleep good.

Hi Everyone,
Foliar nematodes are a very widespread problem in the US. Basically if
you do not have them yet, as most of us do, you wil be lucky if you can avoid
them. This is a result of changes in laws from the EPA that removed effective
nematicides from ornamentals growers, and caused a huge outbreak that it seems
no one was expecting. Until they ease their restrictions or new nematicides
are developed, there is little we can do to stop the spread of foliar
nematodes or eliminate them from gardens.
As we have all learned in recent years, foliar nematodes are highly
efficient spreaders that are very good at moving through hosta gardens. In my
experience with them, I have repeatedly been surprised by their ability to
spread from one area to another and I have come to think that the primary way
they move beyond a small area is by dead leaves blowing around. Dead leaves
that hosted foliar nematodes are essentially like seed packets that will sow
nematodes wherever they land. This is not just a problem in the Fall. Late in
the summer, infested plants start losing the worst infected leaves and these
drop to the ground with a good number of living foliar nematodes still inside.
These leaves can move to another spot in the garden carrying the infestation
to a new location. The load of dead leaves in the fall in an infested garden
will be like hundreds of "seed packets" ready to sow nematodes wherever they
lie when it warms up in the Spring.
This being the case, it is never a good idea to leave old dead hosta
leaves lying around where they can release their load of dormant nematodes
come spring. All dead hosta leaves should be carefully cleaned up each fall so
as to keep the nematode population as low as possible to aid in their control.
No benefit from those leaves' small contribution to fertility can outweigh the
harm their load of dormant nematodes will do to the plants. Good fall leaf
cleanup is essential to keeping them in check. Simply leaving dead leaves of
nematode-infested hostas in place will allow them to blow around and spread
the infestation to new areas.
It is also virtually impossible to tell which hostas are infested and
which are not. Only when the plant has high numbers of nematodes does damage
start to show. By then there will always be nearby plants that are lightly
infested but not yet showing damage. These will usually show damage the
following year. When you see a nematode-infested hosta, you are looking at the
epicenter of a twenty-foot wide (or larger) infestation. Removing it will
leave behind maybe 20-30% of the nematodes, so you will hardly eliminate them
that way. The idea of disposing of nematode-infested hostas is largely
pointless - like throwing the baby out with the bath water. While it is good
for those who sell hostas, it will have no effect in ridding the garden of
foliar nematodes. By the time you see the problem, they will be in other
plants, the soil, dried leaves, etc., and you will not get rid of them. All we
can do is try to control them in the garden so they do not damage the hostas
too badly.
Natural ecosystems eventually find balance, but a hosta garden in the US
is anything but a natural ecosystem. With a highly artificial ecosystem
comprised of plants that evolved in different parts of the world, there will
be problems that will not be solved naturally, at least not any time soon.
Using Southern Blight in hostas as an example, hostas might naturally evolve
defenses against it in 10,000 years. This would happen through a process of
natural selection as those with weaker defenses died off without offspring and
those with better defenses had seedlings with slightly better resistance. Each
generation, those with the least resistance would be culled until a seed
strain with very good resistance emerged. Few of us really want to wait for
that to happen, though.
Pretty much every reference I have found makes it very clear that a prime
method of overwintering for foliar nematodes is in dead plant material. A
sampling is below.

Here, the bulletin from the Department of Crop Sciences at the University of
Illinois Urbana/Champaign says:
"Unlike other plant-parasitic nematodes, foliar nematodes can live in the soil
for only a short time.Therefore,very few are found in the inorganic fraction
of the soil beneath infected plants. However, foliar nematodes possess a
remarkable ability to survive for relatively long periods in an inactive state
in dry plant tissues, especially under cool conditions. Hence, dry plant
debris from a prior crop, indoors or out, serves as a source of infection in
later crops."
"As infection progresses, there is a gradual transition from healthy to dead
leaves, a shortening of the stems, and the production of abnormal flower buds.
Dead leaves usually fall to the ground. The nematodes emerge through the
stomata and cracks in the tissue and migrate back up the stem, completing the
cycle is a gradual transition from healthy to dead leaves, a shortening of the
stems, and the production of abnormal flower buds."
"All infected plants and fallen leaves should be carefully removed from the
garden or greenhouse and burned."
Here, from the Department of Plant Pathology at Iowa State University:
"Disease cycle.
Nematodes overwinter in dead, infested leaves on the ground or between the
scales of infected buds. In the spring, the nematodes become active and swim
up the plant stems. The stems must be covered with a film of water, from rain,
irrigation, or humidity, in order for the nematode to move upward. The
infected leaves then develop spots that coalesce to form the large V-shaped
lesions. The leaves from infected buds may be small, distorted, and fail to
develop. Eventually infected plants parts collapse, turn brown, and die. The
dead and infected leaves that fall to the ground can then serve as an
overwintering source of inoculum to repeat the disease cycle."
Here, Janna Beckerman, extension plant pathologist at the University of
Minnesota recommends:
"Third, remove and destroy infected leaves, and remove all dried leaves and
stems during fall clean up. "
