Monsanto has confirmed that a Johnsongrass biotype has become resistant to glyphosate in Northeastern Argentina.
The findings were announced recently by companies represented by two of the major fertilizer and agrochemical trade organizations in Argentina and by Monsanto.
No Johnsongrass resistance has been identified in the United States
Monsanto took the initiative in researching reports in 2004 of resistance and has worked with the industry to develop recommendations to mitigate the resistance.
A preliminary assessment of the affected area identified the problem on 17,000 to 25,000 acres.
Monsanto and the agricultural organizations have developed recommendations to mitigate the documented resistance.
Several weed species have been identified as resistant to glyphosate in the U.S. and Monsanto has developed agressive vegetaion management plans to mitigate those situation as well. Among them is an online weed resistance management continuing education course for Califonria and Arizona pest control advisors on the Western Farm Press website. Monsanto also sponsors a major online resistance course for Midwest and Southern corn producers.
Information in these courses includes recommendation for chemical control with herbicides other than glyphosate as well as recommendations for mechanical and non-chemical control.

Hi here.
I'm Spanish, and I wanted to give a chance to the Desktop app of OnlyOffice.

All the diacritics are impossible for me: á à é è í ì ó ò ú ù ü ï are the ones I need. Obviously, in both cases. When I physically type the key in my keyword, the editor simply does nothing.

Militarized Police Storm Utah Rave, Beat Partygoers
Progressive U | August 23 2005
About 90 law enforcement officers from multiple agencies broke up what they said was a rave party on public and private property in the Diamond Fork area of Spanish Fork canyon, an hour outside of Salt Lake City, Utah, at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
According to the county, the sheriff's office had been investigating similar parties since the beginning of the season.
VIDEO: Peaceful Party Crashed by Storm Troopers
Witnesses say undue force used at rave
In a press release from the Sheriff's office in Utah County, the department claims that previous allegations of sexual abuse while attending other raves, as well as various firearm and theft violations, were reason for the investigation.
The release continues to state that the proper permit was not obtained before the party started.
Armed with assault rifles and tear gas, the police used dogs to sweep the crowd for narcotics. At least one helicopter was used in the operation. The scale of the police response was apparently due to the ineffectiveness of a smaller force used in the previous "Sequence Five" rave. Prior to dispersing the partiers, several police informants had reportedly infiltrated the rave and observed widespread illegal activities.
The police have publicly stated that these permits were not obtained, but the promoters claim otherwise. Officials also claim that the party had spilled over onto public land.
Police reported in local press that more than 60 arrests were made for weapons offenses, driving under the influence, underage drinking, drug possession and distribution, resisting arrest, assault on a police officer and disorderly conduct. Officers claim to have found cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, mushrooms, alcohol and large amounts of drug paraphernalia. Some of the drugs may include those confiscated from partiers by security guards.
A first hand account from a DJ booked to play at the party stated that while police were arresting a man accused of narcotic possession, the suspect was beaten to the ground and continually "kicked in the ribs" by 4 armed "soldiers" dressed in camouflage. According to the account, nobody resisted the policemen but tear gas was still used as partiers were already dispersing quietly. The DJ also states that police were attempting to confiscate video equipment, but an amateur video has still surfaced on the internet (see sources below).
Several partygoers felt they should have the right to attend a rave where drugs are being used, so long as they don't personally use them:
"While it may be true that some individuals choose to take drugs at said events like this, myself as well as many others choose to go for the music. Just like anything, you have bad apples, but you shouldn't cut down the tree." "Raves are not the only musical gatherings where drugs are used and distributed."
Other partygoers felt that the use of force in the shutdown was excessive - numerous eyewitness accounts by concertgoers describe people being beaten, tasered, or attacked with dogs. One account from an attendee, identified as "Colby", states:
"I saw at least two people being beaten on the ground while barking, snarling dogs are held just a few feet from them. Weapons were being pointed at unarmed, peaceful civilians. A friend of mine was forced at gunpoint to put his hands on his head and turn around, because he asked if he could get his things from the tent."

Daily Kos | August 23 2005
Last night, I was booked to play an event about an hour outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. The hype behind this show was huge, they presold 700 tickets and they expected up to 3,000 people total. The promoters did an amazing job with the show.. they even made slipmats with the flyers on them to promote in local shops.
So, we got to the show around 11:15 or so and it was really cool. It was all outdoors, in a valley surrounded by huge mountains. They had an amazing light show flashing on to a mountain behind the site, the sound was booming, the crowd was about 1500 people thick and everything just seemed too good to be true really. Well...
At about 11:30 or so, I was standing behind the stage talking with someone when I noticed a helicopter pulling over one of the mountain tops. I jokingly said "Oh look, here comes big brother" to the person I was with. I wasn't far off.
The helicopter dipped lower and lower and started shining its lights on the crowd. I was kind of in awe and just sat and watched this thing circle us for a minute. As I looked back towards the crowd I saw a guy dressed in camoflauge walking by, toting an assault rifle. At this point, everyone was fully aware of what was going on . A few "troops" rushed the stage and cut the sound off and started yelling that everyone "get the fuck out of here or go to jail". This is where it got really sticky.
No one resisted. That's for sure. They had police dogs raiding the crowd of people and I saw a dog signal out a guy who obviously had some drugs on him. The soldiers attacked the guy (4 of them on 1), and kicked him a few times in the ribs and had their knees in his back and sides. As they were cuffing him, there was about 1000 kids trying to leave in the backdrop, peacefully. Next thing I know, A can of fucking TEAR GAS is launched into the crowd. People are running and screaming at this point. Girls are crying, guys are cussing... bad scene.
Now, this is all I saw with my own eyes, but I heard plenty of other accounts of the night. Now this isnt gossip I heard from some candy raver, these are instances cited straight out of the promoters mouth..
One of the promoters friends (a very small female) was attacked by one of the police dogs. As she struggled to get away from it, the police tackled her. 3 grown men proceeded to KICK HER IN THE STOMACH.
The police confiscated 3 video tapes in total. People were trying to document what was happening out there. The police saw one guy filming and ran after him, tackled him and his camera fell, and luckily.. his friend grabbed it and ran and got away. priceless footage. That's not all though. Out of 1,500 people, there's sure to be more footage.
The police were rounding up the staff of the party and the main promoter went up to them with the permit for the show and said "here, I have the permit." The police then said, "no you don't" and ripped the permit out of his hand. Then, they put an assault rifle to his forehead and said "get the fuck out of here right now."
Now.. let's get the facts straight here.
This event was 100% legal. They had every permit the city told them they needed. They had a 2 MILLION DOLLAR insurance policy for the event. They had liscenced security guards at the gates confiscating any alcohol or drugs found upon entry (yes, they searched every car on the way in). Oh, I suppose I should mention that they arrested all the security guards for possession.
Oh another interesting fact.. the police did not have a warrant. The owner of the land already has a lawsuit against the city for something similar. A few months ago, she rented her land for a party and the police raided that as well. And catch this, the police forced her to LEAVE HER OWN PERSONAL PROPERTY. That's right. They didnt arrest her, but made her leave her own property!!!
Don't get it twisted, this is all going down in probably THE most conservative state in the USA. And this is scary.. a gross violation of our civil liberties. The police wanted this party shut down, so they made it happen. Even though everything about this event was legal. The promoters spent over $ 20,000 on this show and did everything they had to to make it legit, only to have it taken away from them by a group of radical neo-con's with an agenda.
This was one of the scariest things I have ever witnessed in person. I can't even begin to describe how surreal it was. Helicopters, assault rifles, tear gas, camoflauge-wearing soldiers.... why? Was that really necessary?
This needs to be big news across the USofA. At least in our music scene (edm as a whole)... this could happen to any of us at any time. When we're losing the right to gather peacefully, we're also letting the police set a standard of what we can get away with. And I think that's BULLSHIT!
The system fucked up last night... They broke up a party that was 100% legal and they physically hurt a lot of people there at the same time. The promoters already have 6 lawsuits ready to file with their lawyers and the ACLU is already involved.
I'm sure some pictures (and hopefully some video) will surface soon. I'll make sure to post them up here on 404, so you can see the Police State of America at work.
p.s. - there are more stories of police brutality that i'll post up later. gotta hit the airport soon. can't wait to get the fuck out of this shit hole state.
SHERIFF'S STATEMENT: http://www.utahcountyonline.org/News/DeptNewsDetails.asp?
VIDEO: http://homepage.mac.com/apexgrin/FileSharing2.html
Utah Daily Herald | August 23 2005
Firsthand accounts conflict so starkly that one might wonder whether law enforcement busted two separate events last weekend in Spanish Fork Canyon. Yet the Diamond Fork-area location is among few details confirmed by both the roughly 300 partygoers and about 90 law enforcement personnel who dispelled them at 11:30 p. m. Saturday.
Uprock Records of Salt Lake City promoted the event as an "album-release party" on fliers and Internet sites like www.utrave.org. In addition to live performances by DJ Craze of Miami and Spor from the United Kingdom, the party featured typical highlights like a laser light show, barbecue, oxygen bar and glow sticks.
Undercover deputies and SWAT members depict a rave with rampant illegal activity. Beyond the anticipated drugs -- ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, mushrooms -- they discovered counterfeit money, guns and an overdosed 17-year-old girl.
But where the stories drastically diverge is the raid.
The Utah County Sheriff's Office reported 18 citations for disorderly conduct, failure to disperse or related charges; 21 alcohol- or drug-related offenses; two for assaulting a peace officer; and two related to firearms. Sheriff Jim Tracy said most of the crowd left peacefully, and deputies exercised a "takedown method" only to arrest those who actively resisted.
Witnesses, however, allege "soldiers" and SWAT members held "AK-47s" to partygoers' heads, punched girls in the face and unleashed an arsenal of everything from attack dogs to tear gas.
"At about 11:30 a helicopter began circling the party," said one partygoer in an e-mail to the Daily Herald. "Out of nowhere huge semis filled with National Guard, SWAT and the police rolled up. Soldiers came out of the bushes and rushed down to the party carrying M-16s, AK-47s, nightsticks and Tasers. They proceeded to attack random people and push their might around on people who had done nothing."
Partygoers and rave fans worldwide are circulating video footage through the Internet to support such claims -- while Tracy used the same clips to defend law enforcement.
"No excessive force was used," he said emphatically.
The SWAT personnel -- including teams from Utah County, Provo, the state Department of Corrections and the Department of Public Safety -- are always prepared with a wide arsenal of riot-fighting gear, including tear gas and canines, but Tracy said they did not use any such weapons Saturday night. The tactical gear is camouflaged similar to military fatigues, but neither the National Guard nor any other military was present.
Josh Witbeck, one of the security staff hired by organizers for the event, has interacted with police at several similar events during three years as a bouncer in Salt Lake-area nightclubs, but police hostility, like he said he observed Saturday night, is rare.
"I was trying to keep the crowds as calm as possible. I knew better than to interfere with the cops, but we all got treated pretty poorly," he said. "I'm not going to place all the blame on the police, but they treated every person here like a criminal."
Tracy said a primary issue was promoters did not obtain the mass gathering permit required by Utah County for events with more than 250 people. To do so would have required at least 30 days notice and approval from the sheriff's office. County officials acknowledged that organizers did receive a health permit regulating such aspects as portable toilets and on-site emergency medical personnel.
Brandon Fullmer, manager of the Uprock Records company that promoted the event, argues that he also obtained the mass gathering permit. He said authorities were denying him a copy of it for proof, but a county official agreed to write a letter verifying it.
"We were not there to start any problems," Fullmer said. "What the cops did was wrong."
Regardless, Utah County authorities defended the raid.
"That's all smoke and mirrors," said County Commissioner Steve White. "They were selling drugs. They were committing illegal acts, and as soon as that happened it doesn't matter what kind of permit they had."
So while Fullmer is consulting his attorney about a possible lawsuit, local law enforcement vow to crack down on the increasingly popular raves.
"There's a legal way to do this, and there's the illegal," Tracy said. "If young folks want to get together and listen to music and dance, we don't care if they go about it the legal way."
Tracy said they are monitoring the Internet, searching for fliers and dispatching helicopters on reconnaissance missions over Utah Valley to locate such gatherings before they expand to thousands of people -- beyond what law enforcement can control.
"If they're going to run one on a Wednesday night, we'll find it," he said. "We will ensure we find them and have them curtailed before they ever get to that point.

Miley video banned from daytime TV
Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears are too racy for daytime French TV.
France's broadcast watchdog says TV channels should only show Miley's video for Wrecking Ball and Britney's video for Work Bitch after 10pm, when French broadcasters show a range of programming more suited to adults.
The watchdog, CSA, said in a statement some channels were showing them in the daytime and without parental guidance warnings.
Miley writhing naked around a wrecking ball is too sexually explicit, it says.
And Britney, with her bondage gear, shows "a sadomasochistic universe representing women in a way that risks shocking many viewers".

But also: Just what, we, as humans, put in our bodies. When Sadie wrote about PETA urging Ben & Jerry's to use breast milk for their ice cream, a few commenters actually wrote, "Ewww." But when we posted about a dog who is nursing some baby tigers or a dog who adopted some baby bunnies, the response was more like, "Awww."How come when polled about cross-nursing, some women found it "disgusting" or weird? Just so we're clear: Humans drinking human milk is "weird," but humans drinking animal milk is not; and tigers drinking dog milk is adorable. How did we come up with these conclusions? Meanwhile, the latest reports out of China are that melamine use is "rampant" there. The European Union will now test all imported goods from China containing more than 15% milk powder, according to the Wall Street Journal. All products originating from China for infants and young children containing any percentage of milk will be banned.

Foxconn A7DA-S 790GX Review
Keeping up with the recent explosion of new technology releases AMD has again brought out a new and interesting technology to test benchmarks which are made to increase performance and make our mouth water. Between AMD/ATI and NVIDIA there have been a flood of new motherboard chipsets that have stormed the market now more than ever before. Previously, we took a look at the 780G chipset from AMD, which gave us faster speeds and Hybrid Graphics support to boost performance and save power. Back then, I thought how could they top that? Well, once again AMD has taken it a step further with the release of the 790GX/SB750 chipset. So what exactly is the 790GX chipset? Basically, it is a refresh of the 780G chipset we saw earlier this year with a few new tricks up its sleeve.
The 790GX has the same features of the 780G with some upgrades and some new technology. The 790GX integrated GPU (HD 3300) has the same core architecture and stream processors as the 780G (HD 3200) as well as DX10 and Shader Model 4.0 support, however the clock speed has been increased from 500MHz to 700MHz. What's that, you say? A core speed increase is nothing to get all giddy about? Well that is not the true secret. The true performance increase lies within a small chip embedded on the motherboard called Sideport Memory, a dedicated memory buffer for the integrated GPU, which gives the 790GX a trump card as the fastest integrated graphics solution on the market to date. That is not all that the 790GX boards have to offer; to get into the specifics, we are going to be reviewing the Foxconn A7DA-S motherboard to see how well this new chipset design performs.
Closer Look:
The Foxconn A7DA-S (the S stands for Sideport) arrived in discrete packaging with only the model number and some hardware support logos. The back of the board lists features that are included and supported on the Foxconn A7DA-S motherboard.
Opening the box reveals what I have been waiting for. Included with the Foxconn A7DA-S motherboard is the manual, quick start guide, driver/software CD, backplate, and IDE cable, a floppy cable, two SATA cables, two 4-pin to SATA power adapters, and an SATA to eSATA bracket.
Now that we have everything un-boxed, let's take a better look at the motherboard up close.

The Commerce City Council expects to approve a bid for a playground at Ridling Field and enter contracts to finalize upgrades to its citywide Internet and phone services Monday night.
The council will meet at 6:30 p.m. in the Commerce Room of the Commerce Civic Center.
Recreation director Scott Rodgers briefed the council on the $25,000 playground bid from Southern Playgrounds.
"Ridling Park is where we play a majority of the small-kid stuff — T-ball, coach pitch," said Rodgers, who indicated a need for something to offer younger children at the park for ballgames.
The price includes netting to protect kids from foul balls.
City manager Pete Pyrzenski urged council members to visit the city's ball fields, where dugouts are being painted and bathrooms renovated.
"We're getting a lot of compliments on the work done so far," Rodgers observed.
For the full agenda for Monday night's meeting, read the Feb. 6 edition of The Commerce News.

As Florida legislators sit on their hands with a fundraising ban for session, Gov. Rick Scott has been holding fundraisers and collecting cash -- $1 million of it -- for his political committee, Let's Get to Work.
Admittedly half of it came in the form of a whopping check of $500,000 check from the St. Petersburg-based William L. Edwards Trust, with other large donations coming from health care, sugar, insurance, utilities, his appointees to boards and even other political committees.
Two of the biggest checks -- from the Treasure Island entertainment and finance mogul Bill Edwards and Gary Chartrand, the governor's appointee to the Florida Board of Education -- came on March 26. That was the same day the governor launched his new web ad at his new campaign-like web site, ItsWorkingFlorida.com. The checks also came one day after the governor told the Tampa Bay Times editorial board that he couldn't support the $5,000 cap on campaign donations to statewide candidates (and $3,000 for everyone else) in the House campaign finance bill because it was too high.
(Coincidentally, an amendment by Rep. Alan Williams, D-Tallahassee, to the House campaign finance bill would have prohibited the governor from soliciting or accepting campaign money during the legislative session, as legislators are required to do. It was voted down by Republicans 71-43 last week on the floor.)
Nevertheless, Scott's campaign committee continues to accept checks of unlimited amounts. Since session began, Scott has held at least one fundraiser -- on March 12 outside of Tallahassee in Havana. According to his political committee web site, he collected $116,000 in checks that day and about $90,000 in the two days after it.
The largest contributions this month include:
* $500,000 from William L. Edwards Trust
* $237,500 from Blue Cross, Blue Shield Florida
* $100,000 from Heritage P & C Insurance Co.

candle lit up on my dresser:
what do you think? the fabric is gorgeous in person, lots of pink and red but i am afraid it's too much. but that could just be my fear of color commitment talking. would it be too much to do the whole chair and ottoman in this fabric?
you should know that the fabric i WANT for this chair is the lee joffa confetti fabric in the white with black dots. but i can't afford it and i looked everywhere for something similar- no dice.
these fabrics were/are intended for curtains to hide my cat's poop box. but when i put that suzani fabric on that chair i was like holy balls of shit this is beautiful. i need this fabric on something more than a small curtain for the cat!!

100.000 downloads and counting!Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
And we have more good news to announce. We have finally reached the milestone of 100.000 downloads! Since the first release back in May 2005 the number of downloads has been increasing almost monthly. The following graphic shows this trend.
As you can see, about half of the 100.000 downloads so far happened in the last 8 months. So I think we can say we're doing a good job so far.

I haven't posted here in a while but seeing how miserable she is makes me miserable...
- hives after playing in grass sometimes
- bites feet until they bleed
- scratches snout/chin until it bleeds
- constantly scoots on her butt and licks her parts
I've tried:
- bitter spray for feet, only worked an hour
- dog shoes, she whines and is very miserable
- medicated shampoo, it helps but for less than a day then she's back to normal
- paw wax, thought it may help stop the allergens, doesn't last long
- atopica, extremely expensive and doesn't seem as effective as it used to be
- otc allergy meds, helps very little, if at all
- tried a ton of different foods, doesn't seem to change the itchiness
- tested for skin infection
- steroids, work GREAT for a few days, but from what I understand not a viable long-term solution
Any suggestions or what I should ask a vet to check?

Re: I don't know what to do -- allergies
Coconut oil seems to help my allergy dog quite a bit, switching to raw took care of most of his issues but took several months. His issues do not sound quite as severe as yours though, mostly a lot of itchiness, stinky BO, hair loss, redness/bumps/hives sometimes and goopy eyes but they were getting increasingly bad over time. His skin would get worse until he needed meds for an infection and rx shampoo but that just made it worse, then a little better then back to problems. Coconut oil applied directly helped too but beware they or other dogs will lick it off. We used to wipe him down after coming inside during the worst of it, it seemed to be environmental at least to begin with as it started and got worse in the summer months.

Re: I don't know what to do -- allergies
I would get an appointment with a vet dermatologist. Allergies can be difficult to treat and it's a lot easier with an expert. If you've already done a strict 8 week food trial it may be time for intradermal allergy testing and allergy shots.

I am back in England physically, but it is cold, windy, raining and gray…so my mind is still on those sunlit birds along the Rio Tejos.
Here are three Spotless Starlings on rooftop cell-phone transmission antennae. There is an entire ecosystem on Lisbonese roofs: Black Redstarts fly-catching, Rock Pigeons and House Sparrows crumbing and sunning, Black-headed Gulls loafing, Robins singing from garden trees, Ring-necked Parakeets faffing about with lots to say, European Blackbirds.
Lisbon humans are big on night life, so there's not much happening at dawn, which suits these Lisbon natives just fine.
White Wagtail on farmhouse roof.
White Wagtail on lawn at Jeronimos Monastery, Belem. On our birding trip to the Tejos Estuary we saw all three European species, one Gray and one Yellow Wagtail as well as the White.
This fishing boat was tied up at the village of Pancas on the eastern bank of the Tejos and inside the wildlife preserve.

text: Nutrition 2015-10-09 Food Allergies Fact Sheet [Infographic] Main Article Content Breadcrumb navigation All/Nutrition/Food Allergies All You Need To Know About Food Allergies Food allergies affect approximately one in every 13 children and while some outgrow these reactions, not all do. Because of the severity of certain allergies such as tree nuts and shellfish, diagnosis and education surrounding risk and response to reactions can be a major factor in saving lives. Nutritionists C. Allan Pratt, MD, Anju Peters, MD, and Anne Marie Ditto, MD, answer a few frequently asked questions about allergies. 1. What are the most common food allergies? For children, milk, egg, peanut and tree nut allergies are the most common. Shellfish, peanut and tree nut allergies affect adults the most. 2. How can food allergies vary by age and gender? Infants tend to have more delayed signs of allergy, such as fussiness, cramping and eczema. You may also find blood in their diaper. Also, they often do not have the allergies we think of typically. Older children and adults tend to have more anaphylactic type reactions, but there is a big overlap between ages and reactions. Some food allergies are more commonly outgrown as children get older. However, there is a trend for kids to remain allergic to those foods, such as egg and milk, for longer periods of time. The average age of losing the allergy has nearly doubled over the last 10 years. Generally, food allergies are more prevalent in children than adults, affecting 8 percent of children and 3 to 4 percent of adults. They are also more common in boys during childhood. 3. What are some signs a child might have an allergy? Problems swallowing, abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea can indicate a food allergy. A food allergy often times shares the symptoms of food poisoning, except more persistent or recurrent. Hives, redness and swelling are also common symptoms of allergic reaction. 4. How can children benefit from allergy testing? Allergy testing, including skin testing, is helpful the older one gets. But this is a guide for what to eliminate, and cannot definitively tell if somebody has a food allergy. Children may outgrow certain food allergies and certain diagnostic tests can predict when it may be safe to introduce the food to the child. This would typically be done in an allergist's office. 5. What steps should you take if your child has an allergy? For now, the only treatment is avoidance. There is work being done on oral immunotherapy and epicutaneous immunotherapy, but these are still in the research stages. This means strict dietary avoidance is the best practice for families with food allergies. Teaching siblings, friends and adults in your child's life about the food allergy and emergency medication, such as an Epipen, can help prevent and address accidental exposure. Education on avoidance can be life saving. If you think your child may have a food allergy or you're looking for support for raising a child with food allergies, reach out to make an appointment with a Northwestern Medicine allergy and immunology specialist in Chicago, the western suburbs, or DeKalb County.

The general idea is that Ubuntu could be more aware of its physical surroundings, with the user interface responding to how the user behaves in front of his display. This would need to make use of either cameras or proximity sensors (or both), and already, the guys at Canonical have come up with some interesting use cases.
For instance, a video playing in a windowed state could switch into a fullscreen state when the user leans back from his display. You could use a simple hand gesture or nod to show the launcher, or, go a bit further into the future, and tilt windows when users aren't properly facing the screen (when using 3D displays, obviously).
The most interesting use case, as far as I'm concerned, is to automatically display notifications using a large font (fullscreen, preferably) when the user is not sitting in front of his computer - maybe he's sitting on the couch or walking around. This way, notifications can be read from afar. Giordano already experimented with such a feature back in 2006.
A quick prototype was created for all this.

Don't Think The 'Costs' To US Businesses From Bogus Claims Is Real? Read This
from the and-this-is-under-the-dmca dept
I've never written about my problems behind the scenes with the DMCA, a similar piece of law written to stamp out piracy but in the decade since it passed has morphed into a blunt instrument to silence websites for a variety of reasons. I was stuck in a Brazil/Catch-22 situation a little over a year ago due to a five year old song in MetaFilter Music that shared a filename with a leaked (November 2010) unreleased Michael Jackson song. Sony music group employed a dumb simple bot called "Web Sheriff" that crawled the web looking for filename matches and when found, alerted IP range owners of infringing works being offered by their customers. I got slapped with a 30 day ultimatum to immediately take down the uploaded song on MeFi Music or find my hosting account closed and banned, and all of MetaFilter erased in the process. The claims were ludicrous and I informed my host of the impossible nature of the claim but was told per DMCA guidelines I had to either file a counterclaim notice with Sony/Web Sheriff or ask them to issue a formal retraction.Don't think that kind of thing takes money, time and connections to handle reasonably well? The compliance costs are very, very real -- and that's just a single bogus DMCA notice. Imagine what happens when there are many -- and companies are dragged into various court battles. To say there's no compliance cost or liability under these bills is pure folly.
I didn't want to waste money on lawyer time by filing a counterclaim and prolonging the fight so instead I had to contact Web Sheriff directly to request a retraction. This took many back-and-forth emails, and thanks to Web Sheriff being in London, added days to the process of exchanging emails. Eventually I got a human at the company to look at the dates on my files and agree it was not a Michael Jackson song. The formal retraction took nearly two weeks to secure and convince lawyers for my host that it was adequate for removing the DMCA claim. That's two weeks into a 30 day window before I lost my rack of servers and hosting account completely. I'll never forget last year when I went through this because it was two of the stupidest weeks of my life, all because of some problematic laws granted new powers to copyright holders and I had to engage in a prolonged legal fight thanks to a mistake made by a bot.

G6203, Revised October 2014
Parasitic diseases and nonparasitic disorders can cause serious vegetable losses in home gardens. Many species of microorganisms — including fungi, bacteria, viruses, phytoplasmas and nematodes — cause diseases of vegetable crops. For disease to occur, plant pathogens must come in contact with a susceptible host plant. Pathogens can be carried to the plants by various means, including wind, water, insects, infested seed, transplants, soil, animals and humans, alone or in combination. Favorable environmental conditions must be present for the plant pathogen to infect and thrive on the plants.
Many plant disorders can be caused by abiotic (non-living) issues, including temperature and moisture stresses, nutrient deficiencies or excesses, wind damage, herbicide injury or quick and drastic changes in environment. These nonparasitic problems are stresses on the plant and can make the plant more susceptible to diseases. Effective control depends on differentiating between abiotic or biotic (living) causes of plant problems. Many times it is a combination of both.
Insects often transmit diseases by carrying viruses, phytoplasmas and certain bacteria, such as those causing Stewart's wilt of corn and bacterial wilt of cucumbers and squash. Weeds in and around the garden also can harbor insects that spread disease or the plant pathogens.
Prevention is the best approach to managing plant diseases in the home garden, but sometimes diseases occur despite the best efforts at prevention. For some plants, disease-resistant varieties are available to prevent or reduce the impact of some common diseases (see MU Extension publication G6202, Disease Prevention in Home Vegetable Gardens).
Chemicals are seldom needed and often are not economical for use in the home garden. By following disease prevention practices, or cultural controls, many issues can be resolved without the use of chemicals. In this publication, chemicals are listed by active ingredient. These products may be sold under various names. Look at the ingredients to identify the correct product for use. Read and follow the directions on the product label. Fungicide labels may change and recommendations may become invalid.
Plants from the same family often are susceptible to the same diseases. Therefore, one could expect a disease that attacks many members of the same family to spread through the garden if plants from the same family are planted close to each other and no steps are taken to prevent the disease or to manage it once it appears. Examples of plants by family are as follows:
Sometimes diseases and disorders can be difficult to identify. Without proper identification of plant damage, it is not possible to determine what measures, if any, can be used to help correct or prevent the problem. In difficult cases, to ensure that a problem is properly identified and proper control measures are taken, you can take a sample to your local MU Extension center or submit it to:

Top Liberal Strategists Advice Means Nothing....
Conservatives were toast Wk boasted. He mentioned possible Liberal cabinet ministers. Strategy to destroy the PM in the campaign. Of course he mentioned a few times how great he did his job for Chretien, never mentioning the vote split on the right. Glossed over the fact Liberals won a bare majority in '97 when Adscam was at it's height. But that's all meaningless now anyways.
The thing to pay attention to is the fact WK advised Iggy to force a summer election, and Iggy never took his advice. It could be because we learn now there are some discrepancies with Elections Canada audits from a previous election, and that the Liberals have not received their rebate cheques, so funding an election could be an issue. Or perhaps internal polling showed a different dynamic than the media pollsters. Maybe Iggy was worried about a stream of good economic data appearing in the media during a 37 day campaign swinging votes to the Conservatives. All valid arguments.
Or maybe Iggy just realized what many people already think. WK's days as a top-notch war room strategist are like Pontiac's. You still see them around, but you know their best years are over. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm hungry and feel like some take-out Chinese food.

You mean he's just a rebadged import? Oh wait, no that's Ignatieff.

You have to understand one thing. If Liberals all along said they weren't going to bring the government down, do you think for a minute that Harper would have compromised with them? This is why Warren and the rest of the liberals had to say they would bring them down....a threat which Harper could not discount.

Doesn't matter how big the compromise was. We all know Harper's style. He does not compromise, especially with the devil. He would never have compromised anything had he known they were bluffing.

Anon, the compromises amount to -Iffy agreeing to a Cons election promise of self employed voluntary opting into EI,
getting the Premiers off PMSHs back with a Blue ribbon panel,
and guaranteeing a opp day in Sept so as we can witness Iffy support the new report,
and reannouncing the govt report as soon as parliament reconvenes in Sept...PMSH was very happy, thankyou.
paulsstuff, I too love the memory of the internet.
Iffy said he would provide an alternate stimulus budget in January, had all the experts working on it, where is it?:
'..The Liberal Leader is currently developing his own alternative stimulus plan for the Canadian economy with a close circle of advisers that includes Ontario's Minister of Finance, Dwight Duncan.
For his part, Mr. Ignatieff has also consulted Frank McKenna, deputy chairman of TD Bank Financial Group, and Don Drummond, a former senior Finance official and the TD's senior economist, as well as Liberal MPs John McCallum and Scott Brison.
He needs all the advice he can get, given that he has only a few weeks to
deliver a clear Liberal plan to navigate the current crisis.
On Jan. 27, Mr. Ignatieff will have to decide whether he supports or rejects the Conservative government's budget,
which will contain its own stimulus package.

The whole premise of who won the argument is simple.
Is it plausible that the liberals would force an election if Harper did not form this blue ribbon panel and let Iggy pick three of the participants?

"do you think for a minute that Harper would have compromised with them?"
He "compromised". Really anony - telling Iggy he will "set up a panel to "study" EI" is tantamount to saying "I get to decide when we have an election - not you, Michael".
It is too funny that you are somehow spinning this as a Liberal/Iggy win.
- June 18, 2009 at 5:17:00 AM PDT
iggy just threw kinsella under the non-election bus by rejecting his guidance and pathetic urging to go to the polls this summer.
kinsella wanted an election because he needed one to prove to his multitude of enemies within the LPC that he "is back". Screw everything and everyone else, it is always about kinsella. He's just one of those classic "me, me, me . . . over here, look at me" kinda guys.
That a summer election would be a disaster for iggy and totally unprepared for an election Liberal party means nothing to narcissists like kinsella. You can't translate a few points in the polls into votes without organization in the field and money, neither of which the Liberals have in place. Hell, they don't even have candidates in place.
kinsella will always be a legend in his own mind a minor footnote in
history, a footnote that will be forever in print in the Adscam scandal report that has neutered the once mighty LPC.
kinsella can try and hide his involvement, but the testimony is in the Adscam report.
kinsella . . . killing the Liberal Party of Canada, one self serving step at a time.
Go warren go . . . we so hope you are successful.
- June 18, 2009 at 5:31:00 AM PDT
- Calgary Junkie said...
It's hard to figure out Kinsella's true role within Iggy's team. I suspect he's there mostly to give hope to the party faithful that the LPC is back, ready to fight, aren't going to have sand kicked in their faces any more, stuff like that. I think that was the point of WK's aggressive sounding top ten list.
What we have are two approaches to strategizing: Harper's approach of keeping everything secret, thus keeping the enemy totally in the dark. Then there's the Libs approach of sending out numerous, contradictory signals, with the hope of totally confusing the enemy. Kind of like Sadam Hussein having all those doubles of him wandering around Iraq.
The other difference is that Harper thinks things through every which way, and well in advance, and has an overall strategy to guide his decisions. He also likes to spring surprises on his enemies, forcing them to think fast.
The Libs are more about short term tactics, based mostly on what is in the news that week. There's not much consistency or coherence in what they do. There is also the sense that "too many cooks (advisors) are spoiling the pot".
Hence we saw Iggy confuse the heck out of everyone with his 180 degree turn on the EI-360.

- wilson said...
Spinsella is the decoy/diversion, as CJ said.
So again, where is that alternate stimulus budget Iffy promised Canadians in January?
Did his experts tell him 'don't go there' or was there no way Iffy could sell his budget?
- June 18, 2009 at 7:25:00 AM PDT
- maryT said...
When will new polls be out, from June 17-whenever.
As for libs gaining, perhaps a few of those 800,000+ who didn't vote for them in 2008 are thinking of coming back. Just re-read the results of that election. Not one pollster was accurate but they all had a conservative minority. The only thing there were spot on was the greens would not elect anybody.
That 800,000+x1.95 is a great loss of money for them, and now election canada is after them also.
Must have tried a little adscam and it backfired. Only 28 mps are there after getting a majority of votes cast in their riding. Perhaps the rest should form a coalition as more people voted against all of them than for them.
- June 18, 2009 at 9:59:00 AM PDT
That's the idea, sound convincing yet mean nothing. A game the liberals played on innocent canadians for years and of course the media is right there to highlighten and brainwash.
By the way, Is Robert Fife the Bureau chief for CTV or LPOC.
You see what I mean.

On Good Friday in 2012, the story of the Passion of Christ was played out live on BBC One from the distinctly unlikely surroundings of Preston Bus Station. Preston's Bus Station is an iconic piece of 1960s architecture and arouses strong feelings in the face of the City Council's proposals to demolish it. But whatever the merits of this icon of brutalism, it is a world away from first century C.E. Jerusalem and the Hill of Calvary.
So why did the BBC commit an hour of live programming and months of preparation to stage the Preston Passion? One of the reasons was the success of last year's Port Talbot Passion – a demonstration that the story of Jesus's journey to the cross could have modern relevance and generate significant interest.

Construction employment increased in 26 states and Washington, D.C., from February to March, yet only Arkansas and North Dakota have more construction workers than they did a year ago, according to a new analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), Arlington, Va., of federal employment figures recently released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The employment figures, while offering room for optimism, underscore how far the industry is from a recovery, association officials say.
"It's too early to tell whether these numbers reflect the start of a positive trend or the impact of a warm March following a snowy February," says Ken Simonson, the association's chief economist. "Even assuming the numbers are heading in the right direction, it is a long climb just to get back to normal for the construction industry."
Simonson notes that between February and March, 26 states and Washington, D.C., added construction jobs. Maryland added the most (5,200), followed by Pennsylvania (4,900), New York (4,300), Missouri (4,100), and Indiana (3,500). During the same period, 22 states lost jobs, and construction employment was unchanged in two states. Texas lost the most jobs (-6,300), followed by Louisiana (-5,200), Nevada (-4,600), Arizona (-2,900), and Colorado (-2,600).
The state construction employment picture is significantly bleaker when measured year-over-year, between March 2009 and March 2010, says Simonson, noting that 48 states and Washington, D.C. (see states shaded in blue on map) lost construction jobs in that time period. Among the states losing construction jobs last year, California (-108,500) lost the most, followed by Florida (-57,000), Illinois (-32,800), Washington (-31,200), and Ohio (-29,400). Only Arkansas (300) and North Dakota (100) added construction jobs (see states shaded yellow on map) from March 2009 to March 2010. Twenty-eight states experienced double-digit percentage declines in construction employment over the past year. Nevada (-30.0%) and Colorado (-20.3%) experienced the highest percentage declines in construction employment over the past year.
AGC officials say they expect stimulus-funded work to provide a needed boost for the construction industry this year, but they caution that continued declines in private sector and state and local construction activity are likely to exceed the amount of stimulus-funded work. "As much as the stimulus helps, until broader demand for construction expands, our industry will be lucky just to tread water," says Simonson.

Grace Ethiopian Evangelical Church was accepted as a church plant by the British Columbia Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches Board of Church Extension in 2001. At that time, Asfaw Bekele, who grew up in a Meserete Kristos (Mennonite) congregation in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, began serving as the congregation's pastor. The congregation was involved in church extension work in Ethiopia and was exploring an Ethiopian church plant in Victoria, British Columbia. The congregation joined the BC Conference of MB Churches in 2002. In that year the church had 60 members. By 2008 membership had grown to 85. In 2010 membership was 50 with an average attendance of 100. Services were in the Amharic language.
