Watch Lots of News Anchors Say Funny Word 'Haboob' When Discussing Phoenix Dust Cloud [VIDEO]
The proper meteorological term for the massive dust cloud that engulfed the city of Phoenix, Arizona earlier this week is "haboob."
In Arabic, haboob means an intense dust storm. However, in English, it just sounds dirty.
On 'The Rachel Maddow Show,' Maddow had a little fun with the word, composing a supercut of newscasters and meteorologists saying haboob, and explaining why they were saying haboob.
Check out the video that would probably cause Beavis and Butthead to giggle to death below.

it's possible i'm being to cynical here. but....has anyone else noticed all the ads that Exxon/Mobile has been running about education lately?
i noticed them last week, then saw a bunch of them during the Masters coverage this weekend. my first thought was: "why is an oil company advertising about Science and Education?" my second thought was about the Heartland Institute.
am i being paranoid? i have no idea. perhaps Exxon truly cares about the US educational system and would like to see scientific studies emphasized. however, the skeptic in me keeps thinking that they have a more nefarious agenda. make the public think that Big Oil is on the side of education and science, when in reality they use the Koch Bros. and Heartland Institute to deny Global Warming and Evolution, and teach "the controversy".
it just seems like an odd coupling. anyone know anything about this? where does Exxon/Mobile stand on Global Warming?
Views: 441
I don't why they wouldn't be interested in smartening up the US. They need geologists, chemists, physicists etc. working with them to continue to probe for oil, improve refining etc.
As for Exxon and oil -- I can't speak about them specifically, but I know that Chevron loses money on gasoline. I imagine the conditions can't be too different at Exxon. Gasoline is expensive to find, expensive to refine, expensive to transport. The bulk of Chevron's income comes from oil speculation (everything short of actually drilling).
Yeah I suppose there's a degree of cynicism that you can have, but hell who else is going to spend money on improving education?
This is an unfortunate kind of reflexive thinking. Corporations NEED educated people for the exact same reason that society needs educated people. There is nothing pernicious about that (and I can guarantee you that Exxon, who is active in biological sciences, is not in any way anti evolution).
If you look at the 'monkey bills' being passed by GOVERNMENT bodies (often consisting of religious fundies) in the past couple of years, I don't know why one would think that government run schools would better at science.
From British new source, The Independent, in March of 2008. Exxon and Phillip Morris have both funded the Heartland Institute, which denies global warming and denies passive tobacco smoke is dangerous.
No cynicism needed. To add to Pat's findings:
But as the company attacked global warming publicly, Coll says, geologists working within ExxonMobil were examining how a warmer Earth — resulting from global warming — could create new business opportunities for ExxonMobil.
Coll says ExxonMobil executives "see themselves — ExxonMobil — as an independent sovereign with their own foreign policy......"
ExxonMobil And Climate Change
Until 2005, ExxonMobil was run by Lee "Iron Ass" Raymond, a close friend of Vice President Dick Cheney and a skeptic of climate change. During Raymond's tenure, Exxon funded campaigns to challenge the validity of emerging science about climate change — specifically the findings that a global warming trend existed.
This is, however an economic and political issue (with a a variety of ramifications), not a religious one like evolution. Not the same thing at all.
True Jay, the origin is very different. What is worrisome though in that regard is that economic interests often use religious people to fight science by targeting and "arming" them with misinformation.
thanks for the info everyone. it sounds like my suspisions were well founded.

Ribeye's Ever Popular Aluminium Hulled RIBs – the T Series
Ribeye's unique ultra lightweight range of 15 RIB tenders for up to nine persons, finished using a toughened white epoxy, features powder-coated, all-aluminium hulls from 2.4 to 4.8m overall length and from just 29Kg. As well as their ultra lightweight, their build makes them incredibly strong and they have been purpose built for use with davits, passerelles and cranes on a larger vessel. All are designed for use with Yamaha four-stroke outboards.
There are three types of Ribeye Tender within the range:
TL (Light) 240, 260, 280, 310 - aluminium hull
TS (Standard) 280, 310, 350, 370, 400, 430, 480 - aluminium hull and deck
TA (All-Aluminium) 365, 400, 430, 480 - heavy-duty aluminium hull and deck
Like all Ribeye craft their build quality is excellent, with well-constructed two-tone, multi-chamber Hypertex buoyancy tubes and heavy-duty rubbing-strakes for alongside berthing. These ultra lightweight Ribeye Tenders are ideally suited for beaching roles, typical for long-term tender use. Such smaller boats are much more likely to be dragged onto beaches or slipways where gravel, shingle and hard surfaces can be less than friendly to GRP hulls, which can be prone to deep scratching and the wear and tear of frequent abrasion. Aluminium hulls will take the punishment year after year. The smaller models travel easily on roof rack, swim platform or roof rack; however all models can be davit-hung or towed astern.
Ribeye aluminium tenders are a real alternative for those who may consider an inflatable for getting to and from a larger boat but would prefer a hard hull, yet without any weight penalty. Tiller steering is standard on all models but an attractive range of consoles, including the new euro and mini jockey console, can be fitted for use with higher hp for remote use.
Standard Features:
Hypatex 2-tone white and light grey tubes with 5 grab handles and 4 fabric handles (8 fabric handles on 310)
White epoxy powder coated aluminium hull
Removable plastic thwart seat
Heavy duty rubbing strake and heavy duty keel guard
Removable lock-in rowlocks
Aluminium oars
Transom drains with one-way valve
Internal storage

What's Wrong with Exceptions?
I think the 1999 NEC has an Achilles' Heel, and it has to do with the conversion of exceptions "into positive text" as a step towards supposed clarity and usability. The Usability Task Group raised this possibility early in the cycle, and properly so, based on some very successful history. The classic example was the 1993 work in Sec. 240-21, with its 11 tap rules, before then as exceptions, and subsequently recast as positive text.
Somehow that kind of example became, for some panels, like the magic broom in the hands of the Sorcerer's Apprentice. Entire articles now stand denuded of all exceptions, too often through mindless conversion of italicized exception text to stranded, uncitable conflicting paragraphs. Now, in fairness to the Task Group, those panels wildly overreacted to what the group recommended, but nevertheless, overreact they did, and neither the Task Group nor the Correlating Committee adequately contained the result.
It isn't easy to do it right. Making these changes in a user-friendly way isn't straightforward. For example, suppose you have a rule that says do "x", and an exception that says if "z" is true, then you can do "y". When you convert that exception to normal text, you now have two stand-alone requirements of equal rank. The first says always do "x" and the second says sometimes you can do "y" — a direct conflict.
The only way to properly eliminate an exception like that is to go back and rewrite the parent rule to say you must comply with one of the following two options, as applicable. Then, rewrite first "x" and then "y" as subparagraphs to the parent rule. This is extremely difficult and time-consuming work to get exactly right without introducing unsubstantiated technical changes. Let's face it, it just didn't happen in far too many cases.
Actually, a carefully crafted exception, written in the form of a complete sentence, is a very user friendly device. It should apply to a limited set of circumstances and it should never be an editorial contrivance to break up a long sentence that incorporates a single rule that applies generally. Properly focused, however, it grabs the reader's attention because it appears in a contrasting typeface. It's easily and specifically capable of citation. Ironically, the last major editorial revision of the Code under the direction of Walter Stone in the early 1970s converted a lot of positive text to exceptions exactly because they enhanced clarity.
We need editorial continuity. There is a larger issue, however. The most user-unfriendly part of this exercise actually isn't that some panels messed up perfectly good exceptions. In a way, it's that only some of the panels messed up. The result is extremely discordant text as you move from one panel to the next in the book. Art. 230 has almost 40 exceptions; Art. 240 now will have none.
One of the best NFPA staff liaisons in the electrical group makes the point that the NEC isn't written in English; it's written in Code. He has a point. One of the reasons that fog analysis doesn't realistically measure the accessibility of the NEC to people starting out is that as you stay with it, you learn the language. We lose that editorial continuity at our peril.
The test of usability is readability. We can dramatically improve the syntax and usability of the Code, while retaining essential editorial continuity, but only through an attention to editorial quality that approaches our attention to technical detail. The Correlating Committee has to address this through a consensus process that will ultimately lead to clear, comprehensive, and enforceable editorial guidance to the Code Making Panels. The present NEC Style Manual needs massive revisions to do the job. One panel just cited the Style Manual in refusing to correct a blatant violation of established rules of English grammar.
The Correlating Committee reconstituted the Usability Task Group. This time, I hope we get focus on the editorial problems that make User A and User B read the same passage and draw opposite conclusions. That's where the rubber meets the road—not in elaborate reorganizations that only disrupt the established user knowledge base. We at EC&M stand ready to play a constructive role in such an effort.

I apologize for the lack of updates recently. Jon's in the process of tying the knot (congratulations Jon!) and I've been pretty busy and, to be honest, haven't seen any Looney Tunes related news or items of interest recently. But we'll be back to full steam soon.
I also apologize for what I just couldn;t resist doing. You've all seen it or heard about it...rapper Kanye West's upstaging of country singer Taylor Swift on the MTV Awards. I took footage of the incident and dubbed West's voice using lines from Daffy Duck in "Show Biz Bugs". Some things are just too hard to resist!

Anyone who spends quite a few hours glued to chair would know how restless one gets due to backaches and fatigue. If you are some who spends most of waking hours at the desk you must agree to buy a desk chair that cares for your physical health so that you work in peace. It is actually very detrimental for work productivity if one is constantly haunted by pains in various regions of body. Since, a chair is a serves as home for all the people at work, one must try quite a few chairs before making a purchase. A chair does much more than providing a place to sit. Ideally, a chair must take care of the health of the person who sits over it for more than usual hours. Human body is curvilinear so how can a stiff straight chair adjust to its demands at first place? A chair that does not care for the contours of human body is definitely not an appropriate one.
An ergonomically designed desk chair considers the human structure and cares about its curvilinear posture. They are so designed to support the human physiology that they act as nurses for most people. Many patients of repetitive stress injuries and body ache problems have experienced high rates of relief upon using ergonomic desk chairs. They now acknowledge how stressful there usual chairs were and how they continually build muscular tension inside body. Most of the organizations have started investing in ergonomic desk chairs for their employees to boost productivity and reduce the expenses on workplace sickness.
An ergonomic chair provides maximum support for mid, upper and lower back regions of the body. These chairs maintain their support when you move or recline. It is best that your back reclines at the chair and weight is evenly distributed for best results. Though available in many shapes one must look for waterfall or curve edges of the chair. Such edges prevent the circulation from being cut-off from behind the knees. The seat should extend enough from the hip region to provide appropriate thigh support and to avoid sitting to forward.
Maximum adjustments must be available for forward and backward tilts. One must look for a chair that adjusts to various postures while you read, write, type etc. an ideal chair locks into different postures while working. The armrests of the chair must be comfortable enough to rest ones arms while not typing or writing. The chair must be highly adjustable so that you are not required to bend your arm while working on desk. The clothing should be easy to clean and maintain. They must adjust to varied body structures and sizes. It would be good if one looks for a chair with wheels that eliminates unnecessary stretching of muscles while you reach of objects placed at a distance. A chair with five point wheels will not trip while you recede. An investment in ergonomic desk chairs is not just enough. Since, these chairs are somewhat mechanical in nature one must look for proper training before use.
The word Ekornes Chair Design is also used in the broader sense of any two-dimensional figure such as a map, a graph, a pie chart, or a painting. In this wider sense, Ekornes Chair Designs can also be rendered manually, such as by drawing, the art of painting, carving, rendered automatically by printing or computer graphics technology, or developed by a combination of methods, especially in a pseudo-photograph.
Ekornes Chair Design graphics are visual elements often used to point readers and viewers to particular information. They are also used to supplement text in an effort to aid readers in their understanding of a particular concept or make the concept more clear or interesting. Popular magazines, usually contain graphic material in abundance to attract readers, unlike the majority of scholarly journals. In computing, they are used to create a graphical interface for the user; and graphics are one of the five key elements of multimedia technology.
A volatile Ekornes Chair Design is one that exists only for a short period of time. This may be a reflection of an object by a mirror, a projection of a camera obscura, or a scene displayed on a cathode ray tube. A fixed Ekornes Chair Design, also called a hard copy, is one that has been recorded on a material object, such as paper or textile by photography or any other digital process.
A mental Ekornes Chair Design exists in an individual's mind, as something one remembers or imagines. The subject of an Ekornes Chair Design need not be real; it may be an abstract concept, such as a graph, function, or "imaginary" entity. The development of synthetic acoustic technologies and the creation of sound art have led to a consideration of the possibilities of a sound-Ekornes Chair Design made up of irreducible phonic substance beyond linguistic or musicological analysis.
Ekornes Chair Design have a finite set of digital values, called picture elements or pixels. The digital image contains a fixed number of rows and columns of pixels. Pixels are the smallest individual element in an image, holding antiquated values that represent the brightness of a given color at any specific point.
Ekornes Chair Design vector is the use of polygons to represent images in computer graphics. Vector graphics are based on vectors, which lead through locations called control points or nodes. Each of these points has a definite position on the x and y axes of the work plane and determines the direction of the path; further, each path may be assigned various attributes, including such values as stroke color, shape, curve, thickness, and fill.

The creation of this institute had been proposed at the 5th meeting of the Board of Directors of the Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program, chaired by Luis Magalhães, President of the Knowledge Society Agency (UMIC) and held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, USA, on the 27th and 28th of May 2009.
The Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute results from the cooperation developed by the Carnegie Mellon Portugal and, in particular, the success of the dual Masters degree in Human-Computer Interaction which was promoted by University of Madeira within this Program.
Two years after the Carnegie Mellon Portugal started, the ongoing R&D and advanced training activities have proven to be fundamental to attracting new talent and build critical mass in emerging areas such as human-computer interaction. The new R&D institute is now enhancing actions launched and strengthen the institutional conditions for the international affirmation of the University of Madeira research groups in this area.
The Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute will be the first institution created as a result of the new statutes of the University of Madeira, and it will be associated with offering three Master programs in Engineering Computing, Interaction and Entertainment, the last two offering dual degrees with Carnegie Mellon University. The institute will be housed in premises made available and adapted by the Madeira Technopole, involving about 20 professors and senior researchers and more than 80 master and doctoral students. It will also be involved in several R&D projects with companies.
The Carnegie Mellon Portugal was initiated on the 27th of October 2007, under the action Partnerships for the Future, as part of the initiative Commitment to Science for Portugals Future. The main areas of research and teaching are: processing and information networks, including software engineering; information networks; information security; computational treatment of language; networking and sensor technologies; public policy and telecommunications; technology innovation; mathematics.
In an unprecedented fashion in Portugal, the Carnegie Mellon Portugal allowed to implement effective thematic networks over the past two years, involving a wide range of Portuguese institutions with the aim of promoting their internationalization, having as basis targeted advanced training projects, sustainable schemes stimulating new knowledge and the valorization of new ideas in collaboration with companies and institutions of international reference. Within these initiatives, the various graduate programs leading to dual degrees of Portuguese universities and Carnegie Mellon University are currently involving 35 doctoral students and 70 master students in Portugal.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan football team improved to 4-0 with a 34-33 overtime win over Millikin at Tucci Stadium on Saturday night (Sept. 29) in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin opener for both teams.
Sophomore Tyrell Bolden was instrumental in breaking up Millikin's two-point conversion pass to preserve the one-point win ibefore an IWU Family Weekend crowd of 2,100.
Illinois Wesleyan, ranked No. 16 in the Division III coaches' poll, got the ball first in overtime and junior Rob Gallik found Alex Garvey with a key third-down pass on 3-and-11 from the 26. Four plays later, junior fullback Sean Conley ran 4 yards for a score. Freshman Michael Kelley's kick gave IWU a 34-27 lead.
Millikin, who fell to 3-1 overall and 0-1 in the league, matched the touchdown when quarterback Matt Holmes connected with Sean Maloney from 17 yards away. Holmes tried to find Tommy Eichenauer in the corner of the end zone but Bolden was able to bat the ball away and save the victory.
"The proudest thing is we showed great character," IWU head coach Norm Eash told Jim Benson of The Pantagraph. "Getting into overtime we were confident. We've been there many, many times. We've played a lot of overtime games. Our kids believed that and had a lot of confidence."
The Big Blue scored first with 4:29 to play in the first quarter when Holmes's pass went through the hands of Micah Winters to Erik Tobey on a 61-yard touchdown. IWU got that back with 1:58 to play in the first when Gallik hit Garvey with a 27-yard TD pass for a 7-6 lead.
With 11:01 to go in the second quarter Millikin grabbed a 13-7 lead after Holmes found Alex Chiligiris for a 4-yard TD pass. The Big Blue then extended their lead to 20-7 lead on Sean Dunning's 2-yard run with 3:51 left in the second quarter. Dunning finished with 81 yards on 16 carries.
The Titans drove 60 yards in 10 plays to score with just 27 seconds left before intermission as Gallik and Garvey hooked up on a 4-yard TD pass. Kelley's extra point kick was blocked and the Big Blue led 20-13 at the half.
An interception of a Gallik pass got Millikin the ball on the 11 and the Big Blue got a 27-13 lead with 12:10 to go in the third quarter when Holmes threw a 7-yard pass Avery Aina. IWU responded when Gallik got Garvey his third TD catch of the night on a 4-yard TD pass with 2:37 to go in the third and cut the Millikin lead to 27-20.
After a punt pinned Illinois Wesleyan on their own 2-yard line, the Titan offense put together a 16-play, 98-yard drive that lasted more than eight minutes to tie the game with 1:38 left. Junior running back T.J. Stinde ran in from 4 yards out for the touchdown, and Kelley's kick made it 27-27, which is where it stayed at the end of regulation.
Holmes completed 24 of 33 attempts for 257 yards and four TDs, while also running for 108 yards as the Big Blue amassed 449 yards of total offense.
Illinois Wesleyan gathered in 442 yards of total offense as Gallik was 22 of 31 for 210 yards and three TDs, all to Garvey. Stinde had 185 yards on 30 carries.
Junior Stephen McGinnis was IWU's leading tackler with 10 while Bolden, seniors Mike Kraft and Trey Cunningham, junior Kyle Pfister and sophomore Connor Klein each recorded five tackles for the Titans. Bolden (-8) and Cunningham (-7) both had tackles for losses.
Marquette Moore paced the Big Blue with 13 total tackles and Christian Silva had 10 total tackles and an interception.
The Titans travel to North Park for a 1 p.m. game next Saturday (Oct. 6).

never went clipless until i purchased a rode bike. great trainer for beginners, even now after a month they work well with clipping in. only time i dont clip in is when i know i have to slow down for signs or traffic up ahead
Great versitility
By Dano

About Me Casual/ Recreational
I love these pedals because there are times I simply want to hop on my bike and go to the grocery store or library without putting on biking shoes. Then, for those times when I want to go for a longer ride I clip in with my biking shoes and go. The only down side is that it sometimes takes a little longer to make the connection between the pedal and the shoe.

Dakota Johnson in Chanel Haute Couture
On Golden Globe night, I had a very difficult decision to make. I could either watch the award show or grab dinner with some friends and watch Selma. In the end, I chose to let the show go, but only because I was able to watch the red carpet and felt like I got what I needed. Within the first 30 minutes of the E! Live Red Carpet show, I wasn't impressed with any of the looks, but as the program went on, I felt like I had something positive to say about nearly every look. This morning, we're kicking things off with Dakota Johnson. I never read 50 Shades of Grey, but now that I've been seeing more ads, I'm becoming much more curious about the film. I love that she chose this gown because she looks fantastic in it, but if I could change anything about this look, I would've wanted her to go completely sleek with her hair just to make it look like she didn't walk straight out of the movie trailer we've been seeing for the past month.

Suggestions for Yaoi/Yuri Animes
I'm looking for yaoi/yuri animes, but preferrably yuri. I have nothing against yaoi, I'd watch them if its really good but I prefer yuri over yaoi. I'm a STRAIGHT girl, not lesbian or bi, but I enjoy watching yuri... I wonder why..?
Anyways, any suggestions?

Maria-sama ga Miteru (and Haru, 3rd, 4th)
Candy Boy
Strawberry Panic
Re:Cutie Honey
Devilman Lady (a bit light on yuri, but oh well; still an interesting anime)
Kashimashi: Girl meets Girl
Kannazuki no Miko (if it wasn't for the verry ending, I would say pass; scroll through the mecha scenes regardless, lol. They're pretty awful)

Thanks, for the suggestions~
Kannazuki no Miko is what actually got me into it. Only because of the serious amount of parodies of its addicting ending song and... when my friends tied me to a freakin' chair and forced me to watch Kannazuki no Miko from episode one to twelve.... 6 hours!!~
Here's the few yuri animes I've watched:
Kannazuki no Miko
Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora
Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, A's, StrikerS (Though this one is suggestive. NANOFATE~ <33)
Oh and please feel free to suggest yaoi animes!

If you like slice-of-life and don't mind the shoujo-ai elements instead of yuri (as subtext rather than actual pairing) then can check out Hyakko. The animation is quite bad, but i 've really enjoyed the comedy and character interaction (mostly girls with 3 notably guys) of this series. I like it so much that i gave it top mark 10/10 (only 4 series in my very long list got top mark) xD
Anyway do not have much hope, but other than the yuri elements, if you survive through Ep 2, you should find the rest of the series interesting.
I heard two coming series this season: Blue Flower (Aoi Hana) and Umi no Monogatari (2009) also have some yuri and some subtexts. But i haven't checked them out yet....
But yeah... when it comes to anime, "it'a sad yuri world out there"(as not much series exist). Yaoi is in a worse position because male audience often put it in the same rank with H stuffs.....
PS: a bit out of topic, but nice signature. Loli White Devil... small and dangerous... ^_^

I strongly suggest Candy☆Boy (thread at AS). my favorite yuri series---each episode is short, fluffy and very sweet. hint: look at my signature :P
Currently airing Aoi Hana is shaping up to be very good (thread at AS). I will also add Sasameki Koto (thread at AS), but we will have to wait until later this year, since the show has not even aired yet.
if you don't mind reading manga, I suggest Sasameki Koto (again), Girlfriends, Strawberry Shake and Little Little---all of them are very good in my opinion, especially when it comes to yuri.
I don't really watch yaoi (or BL for that matter), but I suggest watching Antique Bakery (thread at AS). Some of the situations are quite funny and it's supposed to appeal to a larger audience (it has great OP/ED songs by the way).

blinded by blood
serious, well-portrayed yuri in anime is a lie, nothing but Bait and Switch Lesbians who get paired up randomly with some stupid guy at the end of the show.
if it's not dealt with in this manner, then it's so shallow it's nothing but pure fanservice.
relating to the OP, I'd like some recommendations for a yuri anime that is honestly deep and treats the relationship with the same respect that hetero pairings get. No Marimite. I hate that show. It's Bait and Switch Lesbians at its worst.

Well, I'm looking for something that isn't pure fanservice, which makes the going hard. Yuri is usually portrayed as fanservice and then sometimes circumvented via canon by pairing one or both of the women involved with a random guy (NANA is a good example of this).
What I'd like to see is something cute and heartwarming, but seriously portray a lesbian relationship (not just fluffy fanservice) without being angsty and emo.
I'm convinced it doesn't exist.

For yaoi : Junjou Romantica 2 (although i haven't watch it) and Princess Princess anime (i read the manga, the story is good and light to read, although i'm not really into yaoi) and Gakuen Heaven maybe
And Uta-kata anime has Yaoi and Yuri

How come no one mentioned Kanamemo yet ? It's one of the newest shows, though I'm not too sure of the nature of the show
Comedy ? Drama ? Yuri ? Or Yuri fanservice ? Not too sure. There's plenty of comedy yes, so even if not for the yuri, it's a good watch.
Then there's Aio Hana ( already mentioned ), and Girl Friends ( manga ). Girl Friends is the best yuri manga I have ever read so far. Highly recommended.

With fingers crossed, Western cotton farmers eyed fair to good yield opportunities despite the season being far from over. While low pest pressures in California and Arizona can still mount, some Golden State farmers are facing tough cotton growing decisions amid evaporating water supplies.
San Joaquin Valley
"The cotton crop in California's San Joaquin Valley (SJV) in general is progressing fairly well," said Bob Hutmacher, University of California (UC) statewide cotton specialist. With early irrigations and more favorable weather conditions now, many fields look quite good.
"Most locations have perked up since late May and early June. There is reason to be optimistic for a fair to good crop in many locations. Early March plantings in Kern County and pocket areas in Kings and Fresno counties contain advanced, good-looking cotton with high yield potential." If lygus numbers stay low, some good yields could be achieved.
Some plants, which looked rough in many areas during evaluations in May from spring plantings, could face season-long low vigor and stand problems.
Limited water supplies and expensive costs are causing some farmers and consultants to light up Hutmacher's phone, as well as the lines of UC Cooperative Extension farm advisors, agricultural consultants, and pest control advisors. The tough question is — what options are available to growers who face running out of water before finishing the cotton crop?
"To get a call that says, 'I have six inches of irrigation water left for this field, when should I put it on?' is something else," Hutmacher said. "Some growers have worked hard at growing plants from a rough start, many with good early fruit set, and then must face having only six or eight inches of water left to finish out the crop."
This makes decisions very difficult for growers trying to guess the impact of weather and pests on the rest of the reason, and limits how far they can push for higher yields.
If pumping or purchasing additional water supplies is not an option, Hutmacher offered this suggestion:
"Growers should examine how they can tone down yield goals especially with good early fruit retention. When plants move into the mid to peak bloom stage, then delay an irrigation to drag it out a little bit. In medium textured soil, this might include letting plants go for another five days plus or minus a couple beyond the normal irrigation schedule. The move will cause minimal to only moderate plant stress."
Hutmacher proposed some alternate options — alternate row irrigation for late season irrigation, or shortening the irrigation run length to cut down on applied depths.
"Both options have problems. If growers aren't using pressurized systems (sprinklers and drip), then it's hard to reduce irrigation water applications by other methods.
If a grower is short of water, mid-afternoon leaf water potential can serve as a guide for delayed irrigations. Targets to produce moderate stress in Acala shouldn't pass -20 to -21 bars, Hutmacher said, and not more than -22 to -23 bars in Pima.
"It buys you a little time as long as you're not stressing the plants to wilting in the mid-afternoon. It's one way to extend the bloom period and hopefully keep the plants in a better water stress status longer into the season."
"For example, as a Pima boll's fiber length and strength develop, keep it from extreme water stress for three to four weeks after the last boll blooms that you're trying to mature."
In a year with little water, it's impractical to keep adding blooms and bolls late in the season.
Pest pressure in the SJV seems to be following expectations for dry years, with spider mite issues in some areas, but good beneficial populations and reduced lygus pressure at early season in many areas. Dry weather through the winter and spring caused typical weedy areas that provide habitat for lygus to dry down very quickly.
"I hope the overall pest pressure will remain light to moderate." Growers have been careful in pest management this year, not jumping the gun to spray without first identifying the pest.
"That's a good statement about integrated pest management. People are well trained or acknowledge that you need to know what's out there in terms of beneficial insects and pests before spray decisions are made," he said.
Meanwhile, cotton growers with corn, almonds, and other neighboring crops have launched early spraying for mite control.
"With more corn grown now for biofuels and dairies close to cotton fields, cotton growers are unwilling to take a chance for a major mite blowout caused by neighboring crops. I'm not aware of a lot of major problems, but I am aware that a number of people have put out materials for mite control."
The soil borne fungus Fusarium Race 4 (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Vasinfectum or FOV Race 4) that causes vascular wilt in susceptible Upland/Acala and Pima cotton has shown continuing expansion in terms of affected areas within the SJV. Hutmacher is unaware of dramatic changes from prior years.
The fungus has been confirmed within small to moderate areas in fields that together might represent several thousand acres. Confirmed FOV Race 4 sites remain limited to Fresno, Kings, Tulare, and Kern counties.
"Seed companies, as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service and the UC, are conducting field screenings of Race 4 resistant materials in the SJV this year and some look pretty good in early ratings. I think we're making progress on identifying some resistant materials."
In summary, feasibility exists in 2007 for some four to five-bales per acre yields, but Hutmacher expects mostly moderate yields."Controlling costs will be one way to improve the chances for profit. A lot of growers will not have the water or the time to go for a four-bale crop in a year like this one, but there will be some good yields for those who hit the timing just right."
Arizona cotton
Randy Norton, regional extension cotton specialist with the University of Arizona, said, "I'm excited about the 2007 Arizona cotton season. I think it's shaping up well. We still have a long way to go, but we're off to a good start."
The phone calls Norton receives from growers are mixed — excited about the current cotton status, yet concerned over how cotton fares in the next farm bill.
Mid-season cotton varied widely across the state. "Yuma, Ariz. has a short cotton season. In terms of progression towards the end of the season, we have cotton in Yuma that's being irrigated for the last time about now," Norton said. "Some whitefly pressure has been reported as the melon crop dries down." Cotton fruit load was good despite some heat stress.
Along the Colorado River, heat stress has impacted the full season cotton crop in La Paz and Mohave counties with more expected. In fields in southeastern Arizona around the Safford and Willcox area, cotton growth varies as the result of a cooler spring.
"About 15 percent of cotton was replanted in the Safford-Willcox area, compared with less than 5 percent estimated in other Arizona cotton areas."
Just a thunderclap away is Arizona's summer monsoon or rainy season. As the monsoon approached, high humidity and heat blanketed the state's cotton belt.
"Every monsoon brings positives and negatives. High humidity leads to increased fruit loss while added moisture means some areas might reduce irrigation."
On July 12, 2007, the National Agricultural Statistics Service Field Office in Phoenix, Ariz., estimated 2007 Arizona Upland cotton acreage at 180,000 acres, down 10,000 acres or 5.5 percent from the 2006 crop.
"I think Upland acreage will total about 180,000 acres or perhaps slightly higher," said Norton.
In yield potential, Norton expects slightly better than average yields of 1,100 to 1,200 pounds per acre. Actual yields will depend partly on heat stress levels through August.
Grower perspective
Buckeye, Ariz., cotton grower Steven Bales planted 100 acres of Upland cotton, Delta Pine 445 BR, on May 28. The planting was late since it's double cropped after winter ryegrass and 5-year-old alfalfa stands.
"I plant late for the rotation and double crop. I have a good water supply and like to use the three to four months in there," Bales said. "With my retail alfalfa business, the rye grass gives me another option to sell to my customers."
A fourth generation cotton farmer, Bales is a partner in the family operation called Bales & Bales II. In addition to cotton, the 2,500-acre farm includes alfalfa on 1,800 acres, 200 acres each of sorghum for silage and ryegrass, and 150 acres of oats.
"Instead of taking the old alfalfa out in the fall and prepping it to plant cotton, I keep growing alfalfa. Even with the weak stand, I get two to three more cuttings. While tonnage is down, alfalfa prices are good."
"In ryegrass, I get three cuttings — a green chop cutting after the first of the year, a second cutting that's baled if the weather cooperates, and then the third cut occurs in late April or early May. Once it's baled and gone, I just go in, drop the planter, and plant cotton 'on the flat' (without rows)."
Flat planting in 100 to 125 foot borders enhances Bales' profit potential. Minimized tillage work, simplified irrigation, and reduced fertilizer inputs due to leftover organic matter from the ryegrass and alfalfa saves Bales about $400 per acre.
"I'm planting in rich stubble which helps to spread the irrigation, keeps the soil mellow, and creates some shade. I just irrigate over the top. Flat irrigation works best when temperatures are in the 90s. With the warmer temperatures, cotton pushes up in about 72 hours."
Cotton on the Bales' farm experienced some whitefly pressure towards the end of the 2006 season. So far in 2007, pest pressures around Buckeye have been minimal. Depending on final pest pressure, Bales is hoping for a yield of two to two-and-a-half bales per acre in 2007.
"People in general are planting cotton later in this area (west of Phoenix). The dynamics of cotton has changed from the principal crop to something less than number one. Guys don't have the pressure to be watering the first legal day, March 15. You don't see that anymore because no one wants to replant because it's so expensive."
Bales is first vice-president of the Arizona Cotton Growers Association, and is scheduled to take the group's helm as president in 2008.

Underwear in modern understanding was not known in the ancient world. The garment, the closest in shape and purpose to modern underwear, was a loincloth, and in a warm climate it was the main and independent part of the primitive vestments of the ancient man. In our time, the question of ladies underwear is quite different.
FEELING FROM ladies underwear
Underwear – this is the mood and self-awareness of both women and men. Even if no one today will know about what kind of underwear you have – you will feel completely different. In addition, quality and pleasant underwear for the body is very convenient. Well-made ladies underwear adjusts and creates a figure. Good sitting underwear in turn allows you to sit well and rest clothes. From this follows the conclusion – putting on a set of beautiful and comfortable ladies underwear, you are just doomed to look beautiful.
WHY WE NEED ladies underwear
Today, in our days, ladies underwear has acquired special meaning!
We wear underwear, not only because it is so necessary. Underwear can be different for different needs. Sexy underwear, sports underwear, everyday underwear and so on.

WQ216, Reviewed November 2018
Original legislation for the management of dead animals in Missouri was developed in the 1940s. As livestock operations grew larger and more sophisticated means of animal production, transport, slaughtering and processing were developed, the legislation became outdated.
New legislation was developed. The Missouri Dead Animal Disposal Statute was passed by the 86th General Assembly and became law on Aug. 28, 1992. The compliance dates for the law are immediate for all animals except poultry and turkeys. For poultry and turkeys, the compliance deadline is July 1, 1995. This law does not apply to wildlife.
The disposal of dead animals is regulated as a solid waste by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) Solid Waste Management program and by the Missouri Department of Agriculture's Division of Animal Health.
Current law requires that the body of an animal that has died be properly disposed of within 24 hours after knowledge of the death. Disposal methods acceptable to DNR are rendering facility, composting, sanitary landfill, incineration and on-site burial.
The DNR Water Pollution Control program protects the quality of the groundwater and surface water supplies of the state by regulating the disposal of wastewater pollutants.
Improper disposal of dead animals can result in surface water or groundwater contamination. Therefore, proper dead animal disposal is important. DNR requires all submitted letter of approval applications for Class I facilities contain a brief description outlining one or more acceptable methods for dead animal disposal. DNR recommends that letter of approval applications for Class II facilities also include this information.
The following acceptable methods of dead animal disposal are listed in order of preference by DNR.
A DNR goal is to promote resource reuse and recycling in the state. However, the lack of rendering plants in the state prevents many producers from using this option. Efforts among several producers using stations for dead animal collection may make rendering a workable option.
This new and experimental technology allows the end product to be recycled back to the land as a fertilizer. It has proven to be a very effective means of carcass management in the poultry and swine industries. Refer to other MU Water Quality Initiative publications for information on dead animal composting.
Landfills are permitted to accept dead animals under Chapter 260, RSMo. Modern sanitary landfills are designed and operated to prevent leaching into groundwater or surface waters. The drawback of landfills is that they are only for disposing, not for recycling, and landfill space is becoming scarce. Even though a landfill is permitted to accept dead animals, it may not be the policy of the landfill operator.
Incineration of dead animals is feasible, but it may not be economical. It is energy intensive and has the potential for polluting the environment if the incinerator is not operated and maintained properly. Open burning of dead animals or burning in a trash barrel or similar type of container is not allowed.
Any commercial incineration of dead animals must be done in an incinerator designed, constructed and operated according to Chapter 643 RSMo. Air Conservation Law and regulation 10 CSR 10-6.160. A permit from the Air Pollution Control program is required for constructing a new incinerator. Now, existing incinerators must comply with 10 CSR-6.160.
Agricultural incinerators do not need a permit. As defined in 10 CSR 10-6.020, an agricultural incinerator is located on a farm or ranch and has a burning capacity of less than 100 pounds per hour of Type 4 waste. It is located more than 1,500 feet from the nearest inhabited dwelling not on the farm or ranch. Type 4 wastes include animal remains, carcasses, organ and solid tissue wastes from farms, laboratories and animal pounds. Incineration of plastics or other wastes containing chlorine is not permitted.
This definition limits agricultural incinerators without permits to relatively small units that may not be adequate for large-scale animal production units. In any case, even an incinerator not requiring a permit must be operated in a manner that does not cause a nuisance condition or air pollution and must comply with 10 CSR 10-6.160.
Non-commercial dead animal incinerators operated with a burning capacity of more than 100 pounds per hour must have a permit. However, these incinerators are exempt from the requirements for residence time, secondary chamber temperature and hydrogen chloride testing.
This option is the least desirable, due to the potential for water pollution. It is acceptable if certain practices are followed to limit pollution.
Although on-site burial is the least-preferred method of disposal, it may be the only practical option for some producers.
In order to comply with the law, the burial method must follow certain guidelines. These restrictions may be very different from traditional dead animal disposal practices. The following outlines on-site dead animal burial:
The map outlines the areas of Missouri considered to have major groundwater contamination potential (Figure 1). You should contact DNR, Division of Geology and Land Survey at Rolla, Mo., for a site-specific evaluation of the groundwater pollution potential at your specific location.
Figure 1
The shaded areas on this map are considered to have major groundwater contamination potential.
There are other regulation guidelines that may change the way dead animals are managed. In particular, the transportation and holding of dead animals in a collection station. These items may be important to producers developing a plan to collect and haul dead animals to a rendering plant or similar facility.
A permit from the state veterinarian is required for commercial vehicles used in transporting dead animals. The permit must be attached to each vehicle that is used in hauling the carcasses.
Vehicles used for transporting carcasses need a metal tank or tank with a watertight metal lining to carry the carcasses. It should not drip or seep. Hide the carcasses from view when transporting.
Thoroughly clean and disinfect the vehicles after each hauling. In cleaning the vehicles, thoroughly wash with hot water or steam and disinfect with a solution prescribed by the Missouri Department of Agriculture's state veterinarian.
Do not use vehicles that have hauled carcasses to transport live animals, feeds or similar commodities.
Vehicles hauling carcasses must go to their destination directly, stopping only to load more carcasses. The vehicle's operator must get permission before entering a facility to pick up additional carcasses.
The driver of a vehicle hauling carcasses is responsible for the cleanup of any spills or leaks that may occur as a result of the hauling.
The following are exceptions to the transportation requirements and primarily affect producers on a non-commercial basis.
The following requirements apply to operating a collection station that may receive carcasses from several producers for transport to a renderer or other disposal facility.
Dead animal carcasses should not be buried, burned, cooked or otherwise disposed, except as provided for in the dead animal regulations.
If the animal did not die of a contagious disease, the owner may remove the hide before disposing of the carcass properly, but not creating a nuisance.
If the owner or person responsible for a dead animal is absent, unwilling or unable to dispose of the animal properly, and the state veterinarian determines that the dead animal is a health risk or nuisance, the veterinarian may enter the premises, take possession and dispose of the animal. The owner or person responsible for the dead animal must reimburse the state veterinarian for reasonable expenses.
Large-scale animal deaths may occur, such as natural disasters, disease outbreaks or a disease eradication and control program. Management of such large-scale loss may be beyond the scope of methods outlined in the regulation. In such cases, the state veterinarian, with the assistance of DNR, will develop an emergency plan for proper management of the large-scale death loss.
If a death loss is anticipated or experienced, contact the state veterinarian's office at 573-751-3377.

Move over, Katie Couric: Another "Today" veteran is looking to make waves in daytime.
On Tuesday, NBCUniversal Domestic Television Distribution announced plans for a new syndicated program hosted by Meredith Vieira.
"The Meredith Vieira Show" will debut in fall 2014 and will be produced out of New York City, with Vieira also serving as executive producer.
"All of us at NBCU are so excited about this new show with Meredith," said Ted Harbert, NBC Broadcasting chairman, in a news release. "She creates an instant connection with audiences with her smart, quick-witted and down-to-earth style. This entertaining and substantive show will be a great way to reach her loyal daytime fans as well as new ones who will discover why Meredith is one of America's most loved television personalities."
"Each day, I hope to accomplish what I call the three H's: heat, heart and humor," said Vieira of her plans for the show, which will be taped on a homey set and will "offer an exceptional mix of daytime fun along with feel-good human interest stories from everyday people to celebrity guests."

Vieira, of course, is no stranger to the daytime talk format. Before replacing Couric on "Today," she was a co-host of "The View" from 1997 to 2006. She also hosted the syndicated version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" for 11 seasons.
Since leaving her perch at "Today" in 2011 – a departure that led to serious troubles at the once-dominant morning show -- Vieira has continued to serve as a special correspondent for NBC News.

This study will evaluate patients with abnormal immune function that results in recurrent or unusual infections or chronic inflammation. This may include inherited conditions, such as X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID), chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), and leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD), or conditions resulting from outside factors, such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The information from this study will be used to establish the pattern and pace of change of the disease and to help develop new treatments. The period of observation and study following enrollment in this study may be for up to one year. In addition these studies may provide the medical information needed to determine eligibility for enrollment in other clinical study protocols and more prolonged follow up.
Patients of any age with abnormal immune function who have recurrent or unusual infections, whose blood tests show evidence of immune dysfunction, or who have GVHD, XSCID, CGD or LAD may be eligible for this study. Patients' parents, siblings, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles and first cousins of any age also may be included. Healthy normal volunteers between 18 and 85 years of age are recruited as controls.
Normal volunteers undergo a physical examination and provide blood, saliva, and urine samples for immune function studies. Patients' family members provide a medical history, have a physical examination, and give blood and urine samples, and possibly a saliva sample. The samples are used for genetic and routine laboratory studies. Investigators may request tissue samples, such as biopsy specimens, previously removed for medical reasons to be sent to NIH for study. Patients undergo the following tests and procedures:
- Medical history and physical examination.
- Blood and urine tests, including analysis for genes involved in immune disorders.
- Buccal smear (in some patients) for genetic studies. This involves scraping the lining of the mouth near the cheek.
- Specialized tests to evaluate specific conditions in patients who have an immune disorder that might affect lung function, gum infections or eye problems. These may include chest x-ray, CT scan, breathing function test, dental, eye, and hearing examinations.
Follow-up visits of patients with immune problems may occur at 6 months and at one year after the first visit (or more frequently if medically required) to include:
- Medical history update
- Physical examination
- Follow-up on abnormal test results and medical treatments initiated at NIH
- Collection of blood, saliva, urine, or wound drainage samples for repeat immune function studies
- Tissue study of specimens removed for medical reasons at other institutions besides NIH

Any chance California goes from blue to red?*
The polls have shown California to be Obama country for months. And the pundits are still predicting a sea of blue. But there has been a lot of chatter on the political blogs about an interesting finding on early voting in the state.
According to RedState.com, 104,000 Republicans have voted early or by mail-in ballot, compared with 105,000 Democrats.
The polls showed Barack Obama with an 18-point lead in California just a few days ago. The results thus far are the complete opposite. ... With nearly 210,000 people having voted, the Democrats have only a 1,000 vote advantage! If we take the liberty of assuming that all Republicans will vote for John McCain and all Democrats will vote for Obama, then the race is incredibly close.
At the Atlantic, Marc Ambinger offers this analysis: "Early voting is very popular in California, and Republicans tend to vote at higher rates than Democrats. More conservative areas of the state tend to vote early; Los Angeles County traditionally has the lowest early-voting rate. Don't know if the above statistics are correct, but if they are, they're not usual for that state... More importantly though, if Republicans believe that the party breakdown of who is voting early is indicative, then what do they think about what is going on in Nevada, Iowa, New Mexico, Ohio, Indiana, and North Carolina? Verdict: Nothingburger."
*Updated: The Real Clear Politics average of California polls shows Obama with a huge lead: 58.7% compared to 34% for McCain. The Rasmussen spread is even larger.

Live updates
Car giants to notify vehicle owners after airbag fault
Nissan has confirmed it will be contacting British car owners within a month to tell them their vehicles must be recalled over a fault with their airbags.
Honda issued a similar statement, confirming it would be contacting affecting vehicle owners.
Toyota, which is set to recall 76,000 cars in the UK, has not issued a statement on its protocol, but confirmed the airbag issue potentially affects the following models: Toyota Corolla, Yaris, Avensis, Avensis Verso, Picnic, Camry and Lexus SC430.
Nissan car recall: Models involved
Almost 60,000 Nissan cars are being recalled due to a problem with the vehicles' airbag.
The models involved, and built between 2000 and 2004, are:
- X-Trail
- Patrol
- Almera
- Almera Tino
- Terrano II
- Navarra
The only model involved which was built at the plant in Sunderland is the Almera model, affecting cars built between 2001 and 2003.
Car recall: advice to customers
People who believe their car may be affected by a recall from four Japanese motor firms, are being urged to get in contact with the manufacturer.
Nissan advised UK customers to contact garages where the cars were bought or call 01923 899334.
They say global car giants are usually quick to recall vehicles for inspection and repair as soon as they are aware of a fault.
These are likely to be minor and rarely linked to accidents or fatalities.
1,913 Mazda 6 models to be recalled over airbag fault
A total of 1,913 Mazda 6 models bought in the UK between 2002 and 2003 will also be called back following the discovery of faulty Japanese-manufactured airbags.
Thousands of UK cars to be recalled over airbag
Toyota is recalling 76,000 vehicles bought in the UK between November 2000 and March 2004, including models such as the Corolla and the Yaris, due to the Japanese airbag problem.
Nissan is also recalling 59,058 vehicles made between 2000 and 2004 and sold in the UK, including the X-Trail, Patrol, Almera, and Navara models.
Honda is recalling 15,400 UK-bought vehicles made between 2001 and 2004, including the Civic, the CRV and the FRV.
Japanese airbag recall affects total of 3.4 million cars
The scope of the Japanese airbag problem is a little wider than first reported, with a total of around 3.4 million vehicles set to be recalled worldwide.
The recall includes 490,000 cars in Europe and 580,000 from North America.
The concern is that airbags in front of the vehicles' front passenger seat may not inflate when required, a spokesman for Toyota said.
He added that no injuries or deaths had been reported because of the fault.
Honda and Nissan affected by airbag recalls
More than one million Honda vehicles are being recalled following concern over the airbags received from Japanese parts maker Takata Corp.
The firm confirmed 1.14 million cars will be called back globally.
Nissan has also been affected, with the company confirming 137,000 cars in Japan will be recalled.
Japan airbag trouble affects 2.19 million exported cars
More than two million cars exported from Japan are set to be recalled over concerns about the vehicle's airbags, a Japanese government official has said.
The official said 731,000 cars would be recalled domestically, meaning around 2.19 million vehicles would be recalled from international markets.
Toyota recalls 1.73 million vehicles over airbag problem
Toyota has announced it is recalling 1.73 million vehicles across the world due to an airbag problem.
The manufacturer is among four Japanese carmakers to have withdrawn vehicles over the concern, with up to 2.92 million recalled in total.
