Orissa is home to a rich culture and heritage. There are a number of monuments and destinations in Orissa that make the state one of the popular tourist destinations in India. Besides the natural beauty, there are a number of religious (sacred) places in Orissa that are closely related with Hindusm, Buddhism and Jainism. The grand architecture and sculpture of Jagannath temple, Lingraja temple, Mukteshwar temple and the Sun temple leave the visitors spellbound.
Bhubaneswar, The Temple City of Orissa and state capital, is situated in its eastern side. The city boasts of majestic temples and shrines, which form a major part of its tourist attractions. It serves as the perfect example of the fusion of age-old customs and traditions and modern aspirations. This is one of the basic reasons why tourism is Bhubaneshwar is gaining momentum day by day. People are coming to the city from various parts of India as well as the world to witness its unique splendor.
Located at a distance of nearly 65 km from Bhubaneswar, Konark city is famous throughout the world for its magnificent Sun Temple, which is dedicated to Surya, the Sun God. It is one of the three cities that form the Golden Triangle of tourism in Orissa. Konark is a city that is well known for its architectural wonders. Besides the numerous temples and maths, its other major attraction is the Konark Beach, one of the most enchanting beaches of India.
Puri, known as the dwelling place of Lord Jagannath, is one of the most visited tourist destinations of India. It is situated on the eastern side of Orissa and lies about 60 km away from the capital city of Bhubaneswar. The major attractions of the city comprise of its marvelous temples and gorgeous beaches. There are four sacred Hindu Dhams in India and Puri is one of them. The city is also known as 'Jagannath Puri', 'Martya Vaikuntha' or 'Sri Purusottama Dham'.
Jagannath Temple is one of the most renowned as well as the biggest temples of Orissa. Established in the 12th century, the temple is dedicated to Lord Jagannath (Lord Krishna), Lord of the Universe. The credit for laying the foundation of the Jagannath temple of Puri goes to Raja Ananta Varman Chodaganga Dev. The temple is located at a distance of 60 km from Bhubaneswar, on the coast of Bay of Bengal, and is greatly revered by the devotees following the Vaishnava traditions.
Rath Yatra, which is also known as the Chariot Festival, is one of the most prominent festivals of Orissa, which is celebrated in the holy city of Puri. 'Rath Yatra' has derived its name from the words 'Rath', meaning 'Chariot', and 'Yatra', meaning 'Procession'. This festival is celebrated with gusto in almost every part of the country. However, it was initiated in Jagannath Temple and it still attracts devotees from different parts of India. Jagannath Puri Rath Yatra is a very colorful festivity, in which people participate enthusiastically.
The twin hills of Khandagiri and Udayagiri have numerous ancient Jain caves cut from rocks, which date back to 01 B.C. These served as accommodation for the then ruler of Kalinga and his queens. Later, they were also used by monks and sages who meditated in these hills. Udayagiri has 44 caves carved out of sandstone. The most famous among these is the Rani Gumpha or Queen's Cave, a two-storeyed structure with a spacious courtyard and elaborate sculptural freezes. The Hathi Gumpha or Elephant Cave, records the life chronicle of King Kharavada, the first Oriya ruler, responsible for the expansion of the Kalinga inscriptions. Khandagiri also has a number of temples belonging to Hindu and Jain faiths.
Lingaraj temple is one of the most popular temples of Orissa. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, also known as 'Lingaraj'. It is adorned with beautiful sculptures, which have been carved on the spire. Lingaraja temple is approximately 54.8 metres high and enshrines a huge statue of Lord Shiva, made up of granite. The idol is 8 feet in diameter and is placed on a platform that is about 8 inches above ground. The deity is bathed everyday with water, milk and bhang (marijuana).
This quiet, scenic spot was once the venue of the historic battle of Kalinga. After witnessing the bloodshed, King Ashoka had a change of heart. Ashokan rock edicts which date back to the 2nd Century B.C. can be found at the foot of the hill. The hill is crowned by the Santi Stupa, a white Japanese peace pagoda, representing the five ancient Buddhist virtues. The stupa provides a view of the surrounding countryside.
Lying on the eastern coast of Orissa, Chilka Lake is one of the most sought after tourist attractions near the holy city of Puri. The source of the lake is the Mahanadi River, which drains into it. Chilika Lake is one of the largest lakes in not only India, but also Asia and stretches over an area of 1,100 sq km. It is a very popular picnic spot and provides ample opportunities for boating, fishing and bird watching. If you just want to relax and soak the sunrays, this is the perfect place for you.
The site of one of the most fabulous vistas of river and forest, the Satkosia Gorge where the great Mahanadi river crashes with monumental force is an enervating, if dizzying, experiance. The meandering pace of the sensuous river through 22 km of thick forest offers scenic delights of the frothing, boiling water as it wends its way through the awesome gorge is considered to be one of the most enchanting spots in the world. It is an idealplace for white water rafting and other adventure sports. Located in these wonderous surroundings is the Gharial Sanctuary where Gharial crocodiles are bred. A success story of conservation, this crocodile breeding farm is a must for all wildlife enthusiasts.
Nicknamed as "Kashmir of Orissa", Dairingbadi is probably the only place in Orissa to have experienced snowfall. This extremely pretty place is located around 135 kms from Phulbani, and is an attractive tourist destination throughout the year.
Bridging the early and later phases of the Kalinga school of temple architecture, the 10th century Mukteswar temple is truly considered a gem of a temple. The temple is famous for its rich sculptured ornate entrance arch and the rare interior carving. The carvings depict tales from the Panchatantra as well as representations of all the gods in the Hindu pantheon.
Established in 1960, the lake and the nearby botanical gardens were declared a sanctuary in 1979. Nandan Kanan is home to a wide variety of animals, both captive and wild.

Here we explain some of the most common Hadoop administrative tasks. There are many, so we only talk about some of the main ones. The reader is encouraged to consult the Apache Hadoop documentation to dig more deeply into each topic.
As you work through some admin commands and tasks, you should know that each version of Hadoop is slightly different. They tend to change some of the command script names. In this example we are using Hadoop 2.7.3.
You will need a Hadoop cluster setup to work through this material. Follow our instructions here on how to set up a cluster. It is not enough to run a local-only Hadoop installation if you want to learn some admin tasks.
Common admin tasks
Here are some of common admin tasks:
- Monitor health of cluster
- Add new data nodes as needed
- Optionally turn on security
- Optionally turn on encryption
- Recommended, but optional, to turn on high availability
- Optional to turn on MapReduce Job History Tracking Server
- Fix corrupt data blocks when necessary
- Tune performance
We discuss some of these tasks below.
Turn on security
By default Hadoop is set up with no security. To run Hadoop in secure mode each user and service authentications with Kerberos. Kerberos is built into Windows and is easily added to Linux.
As for Hadoop itself, the nodes uses RPC (remote procedure calls) to execute commands on other servers. You can set dfs.encrypt.data.transfer and hadoop.rpc.protection to encrypt data transfer and remote procedure calls.
To encrypt data at rest the admin would need to set up an Encryption Key, HDFS Encryption Zone, and Ranger Key Manager Services together with setting up users and roles.
Hadoop web interface URLs
The most common URLs you use with Hadoop are:
|Yarn Resource Manager
|MapReduce JobHistory Server
These screens are shown below.
NameNode Main Screen
Yarn Resource Manager
MapReduce Job History Server
Configure high availability
High Availability sets two two redundant NameNodes in an Active/Passive configuration with a hot standby. Without this, if the NameNode crashes the the cluster cannot be used until the NameNode is recovered. With HA the administrator can fail over to the 2nd NameNode in the case of a failure.
Note that the SecondaryNameNode that runs on the cluster master is not a HA NameNode server. The primary and secondary NameNode servers work together, so the secondary cannot be used as a failover mechanism.
The set up HA you set dfs.nameservices and dfs.ha.namenodes.[nameservice ID] in hdfs-site.xml as well as their IP address and port an mount an NFS directory between the machines so that they can share a common folder.
You run administrative commands using the CLI:
hdfs haadmin
MapReduce job history server
The job history MapReduce server is not installed by default. The configuration and how to start it is shown below.
Start the MapReduce job history server with the following command:
cat /usr/local/hadoop/hadoop-2.7.3//etc/hadoop/mapred-site.xml
And query it like this:
$HADOOP_HOME/sbin/mr-jobhistory-daemon.sh --config
$HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop start historyserver
starting historyserver, logging to
Or just login to the webpage.
curl http://localhost:19888/ws/v1/history/info
{"historyInfo":{"startedOn":1492004745263,"hadoopVersion":"2.7.3","hadoopBuildVersion":"2.7.3 from baa91f7c6bc9cb92be5982de4719c1c8af91ccff by root source checksum 2e4ce5f957ea4db193bce3734ff29ff4","hadoopVersionBuiltOn":"2016-08-18T01:41Z"}}
Add datanode
You can add a datanode without having to stop Hadoop.
The basic steps are to create the Hadoop user and then configure ssh keys with no passcode so that the user can ssh from one server to another without having to enter a password. Update the /etc/hosts files to add the hostname to all the machines in the cluster. Then you zip up and copy the entire $HADOOP_HOME directory on the master to the same target machine in the same directory.
Then you add the new datanode to $HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop/slaves.
Then run this command on the new datanode:
Now you should be able to see it show up when you print the topology:
hadoop-daemon.sh --config $HADOOP_CONF_DIR --script hdfs start datanode
hdfs dfsadmin -printTopology
192.168.1.83:50010 (hadoop-slave-1)
192.168.1.85:50010 (hadoop-slave-2)
Run Pig Mapreduce job
Here is a Pig script you can run to generate a MapReduce job so that you can have a job to track. (If you do not have pig installed you can refer to http://www.bmc.com/guides/hadoop-apache-pig.html)
First create this file sales.csv
New York,Earl,40000
You can copy the file onto itself multiple times to create a very large file so you will have a job that will run for a few minutes.
Then copy it from the local file system to Hadoop.
hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /data
Check that it is there:
hadoop fs -cat /user/sales.csv
Run Pig. Pig with no command line options runs Pig in cluster (aka MapReduce) mode.
Paste in this script:
a = LOAD '/data/sales.csv' USING PigStorage(',') AS (shop:chararray,employee:chararray,sales:int);
Dump a
Describe a
b = group a by employee;
results = FOREACH b generate SUM(a.sales) as sum, a.employee;
Then you can check the different screens for job data.
Common CLI commands
|Stop and start Hadoop.
start_dfs.sh start_yarn.sh
|Format HDFS.
$HADOOP_HOME/bin/hdfs namenode -format
|Turn off safe mode.
hadoop dfsadmin -safemode leave
|List processes.
|Corrupt data blocks. Find missing blocks.
hdfs fsck /
Monitoring health of nodemanagers
|Script path and filename.
|Command line options.
Command line options.
|Run frequency
Other common admin tasks
|Setup log aggregation.
|Configure rack awareness.
|Configure load balancing between datanodes.
|Upgrade to newer version.
|Use cacheadmin to manage Hadoop centralized cache.
|Take snapshots.
|Configure user permissions and access control.
Common problems
It is not recommended to use localhost as the URL for the Hadoop file system on the localhost. That will cause it to bind to 127.0.0.1 instead of the machine's routable IP address. Then in Pig you will get this error:
pig java.net.connectexception connection refused localhost:9000
So set the bind IP address to 0.0.0.0 in etc/hadoop/core-site.xml:
WebAppProxy server
Setting up the WebAppProxy server is a security issue. You can use it to set up a proxy server between masters and slaves. It blocks users from using the Yarn URL for hacking. The Yarn user has elevated privileges, which is why that is a risk. It throws up a warning is someone accesses it plus it strips cookies that could be used in an attack.
Where to go from here
The user is encouraged to read further the topics mentioned in this doc and in particular in the Other Common Admin Tasks section as that is where they are going to find tuning and maintenance tools and issues that will certain become issues as they work to maintain a production system and fix all the associated problems.

Report maintains that Viet Cong are prepared for a long war
Roger Hilsman, director of the State Department Bureau of Intelligence and Research, sends a memorandum to Secretary of State Dean Rusk pointing out that the communist Viet Cong fighters are obviously prepared for a long struggle.
While government control of the countryside had improved slightly, the Viet Cong had expanded considerably in size and influence, both through its own efforts and because of its attraction to "increasingly frustrated non-communist, anti-Diem elements." According to Hilsman, successfully eradicating the Viet Cong would take several years of greater effort by both the United States and the South Vietnamese government of President Ngo Dinh Diem. Real success, he noted, depended upon Diem gaining the support of the South Vietnamese people through social and military measures, which he had so far failed to implement. Hilsman felt that a noncommunist coup against Diem "could occur at any time," and would seriously disrupt or reverse counterinsurgency momentum. As it turned out, Hilsman was eventually proven correct. On November 1, 1963, dissident South Vietnamese generals led a coup resulting in the murder of Diem. His death marked the end of civilian authority and political stability in South Vietnam. The succession of military juntas, coups, and attempted coups in 1964 and early 1965 weakened the government severely and disrupted the momentum of the counterinsurgency effort against the Viet Cong.

text: Please let me get into this discussion. (1) Litner said: > Just to clarify the matter. Chapter V: 49 of Burma's first constitution > states that "No person shall be eligible for the election to the office > of the President unless he (i) is a citizen of the Union who was, or > both of whose parents, were born in any of the territories included > within the Union, and (ii) is qualified for election to the Union > Parliament." This was clearly aimed at keeping Inod-Burmese and Sino- > Burmese, whose parents were often not born in Burma, out of the office. > The law says nothing about spouses. Please note that U Ne Win, while > President of the Union, married June Rose Bellamy, a British citizen, > and this did not disqualify him from the position as President. Yes, we have to interpret this law as a justification for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to be elected if WE(Burmese) wish. She has given up herself totally and completely for our cause. She did answer our call to lead the democratic struggle. Since then she never ever fails to undertake the duty under all circumstances_ against all odds_not to mention being at gun point and being under house arrest for six years being taken away the best part of her life__etc. etc. (more details can be found in Burma related webs). Indeed this proof alone shall make her be eligible in its own right. Point (2) Litner said: > Further, V: (ii) refers to Chapter VI:74 (i) of the same constitution > and you have quoted it correctly, and, as you may see for yourself, it > says nothing about spouses. Being married to a foreigner does not under > international law mean that person "is under acknowledgment of > allegiance or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or citizen > or is entitled to the rights and privileges of a subject or citizen of a > foreign power is not eligible to contest for a seat in the country's > elections." In this particular case, why don't you ask the British > embassy in Rangoon if Daw Suu's marriage to a British citizen entitles > her to those priveleges you mention? Moreover, the person Daw Suu married to is a professor, NOT the Prime Minister of UK or the president of the United States. Point (3) My personal communication to whom it may concern Please stop addressing Daw Aung San Suu Kyi as Mrs.Aris; it is very un-Burmese. We, Burmese women never have to take our husband's name. This Burmese women's right is not new. It was granted 2540 years ago. Calling Daw Suu as Mrs. Aris is a violation of Burmese women's right. This violation challenges the whole community of Burmese women. Marriage is a social act we all human being (men and women) do. In which we need to find a balance between husband and wife. A husband has to respect the law, tradition, religion or belief and customs of his wife wherever she comes from and whatever her origin is. To preserve her own culture and rights is the very important duty of a husband. To keep her husband's duty alive is an art of a wife. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has proven it in a way that it is possible. She remains one of the most capable and independent Burmese ladies married to a foreigner. Her marriage has always been proven to be an independent but a compliment to her both personal and public life as well as to her duties. In my opinion, by calling Daw Aung San Suu Kyi as Mrs. Aris is somewhat suggesting as if we (all Burmese ladies) have no right to choose our future husband according to our likeness. It is very narrow minded indeed. Please let me put an example (sorry about that :-)). Suppose we were invited to a farm for some reasons. There the host offers varieties of fruits. Mangoes, bananas, durians, apples, grapes, oranges etc. and you name it. At this point, one cannot force another to eat or not to eat any particular fruit, for we have choices and we have preferences. Eg. one would eat durian and another would choose grapes for sure. If one doesn't like durian, one will never be convinced to eat durian regardless of friendship or whatever it may if one's liberty is granted. Moreover one should not be called names or one's liberty be taken away for one's preference of either durian or grapes. Selecting a husband is much the same except there are more personal details involved. We all know about it, don't we? :-) Hmm..I mean smoking or no smoking; drinking or no drinking.. VEGETARIAN OR BEEF STEAKS EATER etc. It is (1) apolitical (2) women's right. Since women's right is a human right. Taking away our Burmese women's rights on the liberty of marriage is violating women's right indeed! Last but not least please let me remind you of our traditional saying. It is this if you have a daughter she will bring you a son. If you got a son you have to give him away to his parents in law. Every Burmese knows this saying as one of our old Burmese traditions. After all, the role of the Burmese Women cannot be undermined but should be underlined!!! -------------------- ------------------------ Thank you so much for reading it. NiNi

Wide receivers David Gilreath and RashaanVaughn, along with kicker/punter Michael Palardy, were signed by the Raiders Thursday.
Gilreath (5-foot-9, 170 pounds) originally signed with Indianapolis as an undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin and in 2011 set Big Ten records for kickoff returns (135) and kickoff return yards (3,025). He has also had camp stops with Tampa Bay, Buffalo and St. Louis.
Vaughn, an Oakland native who played at Washington High in Fremont, College of San Mateo and at Oregon, was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Jets last season and eventually added to their practice squad.
Palardy, undrafted out of Tennessee, was 37 of 50 for his career on field goal attempts and averaged 42.9 yards on 117 punts in four seasons.
To make room on the roster, the Raiders waived San Jose State wide receiver Noel Grigsby, Stanford punter Daniel Zychlinski, and wide receiver Jared Green.

In a word, the Atlanta track is tough. The softer dirt is leading to ruts—not as deep as the old days of Atlanta but certainly more so than previous weeks of racing this year (sans Oakland). The track features some tricky jumps, two tough whoop sections and 6 180-degree turns. It looks pretty taxing, too, some of the jump takeoffs look steep and the whoops are just so tough—spaced very far apart. Guys will be huffing and puffing when this is over.
Well, maybe not James Stewart. The lap times say he was fastest, but more than that, he looked smoothest. Everyone else was having herky jerky moments out there or bobbling, or just fighting the track in spots. James looked like he was on cruise control (while also logging the fastest laps). Late in the final session, he busted out a new jump for good measure, tripling off of an on-off tabletop. Everyone else is doubling. Could be a prime passing spot for Stewart tonight--he's just on a roll right now and that could be very dangerous for the rest of the 450 field.
On the other end, and off day through practice for Ryan Villopoto, who was sixth and seventh in the two timed sessions. He might have grabbed a better lap at the very end of the final practice but yellow flags came out due to a crash, and RV had to slow it down. Either way, he didn't look as good as usual—we'll see if he can turn it all around come showtime.
The whoops are a huge separator here and if Stewart is best through them, Justin Brayton is second best, and it showed with the second best lap time in the final session. The corner before the whoops is key, and Brayton is getting a good drive from the middle of the turn to carry a lot of speed. The corner is rutted and most riders are just going all the way to the outside to get a drive—Brayton is able to do it from the middle yet still stay on top of the whoops.
Other riders to watch include Wil Hahn and Broc Tickle, who were near the front on lap times all day long. The whoops tell the story here again: these two were fast through them, and it was reflected in their times. One other rider to consider is Justin Barcia, who was up there with Stewart on lap times early until he had a BIG crash in the whoops. He got back up and rode again but couldn't deliver another big heater. If Barcia can get the speed back that he had before that crash, he'll be a contender tonight.
In the 250 class, rookie Adam Cianciarulo did it again, logging the fastest lap overall. But Pro Circuit's dominance could be threatened by Blake Wharton, who was on it all day and mixing it up for top time with the Kawi boys. Wharton looked much more aggressive and sharp than he did in Dallas. Also watch for privateers Jimmy Decotis and Vince Friese who were fifth and sixth fastest.

Hi guys,
My exhibition map needs about 200-300 stone/mineral/crystal models. So far I've got about 60 different models. As this is taking a LOT of time to do I thought you could help me out a bit. I was thinking about a small challenge (similar to the week end challenges). Everybody builds 1-3 stone models with about max 300 tris. The nicest ones (or all of them if they're all nice) will be used in the next release of the map. I'll either put them all in a CMM display case or scatter them around the map.
Ase models are preferred. You will of course get proper credit in the readme and probably a small note next to the stones in the display cases. I'd say we set the challenge to end in about 2 weeks but I'm in no hurry, so you basically can take as much time as you need. Extra points for really unique stones
Happy challenge everyone!
Here are a few screens of some of the models I've done so far so you know about what I'm looking for:

Welcome to aeson-pretty
This is a JSON pretty-printing Haskell library compatible with aeson as well as a command-line tool to improve readabilty of streams of JSON data.
The library provides a single function
encodePretty. It is a drop-in replacement for aeson's
encode function, producing JSON-ByteStrings for human readers.
The command-line tool reads JSON from stdin and writes prettified JSON to stdout. It also offers a complementary "compact"-mode, essentially the opposite of pretty-printing.
Join in!
We are happy to receive bug reports, fixes, documentation enhancements, and other improvements.
Please report bugs via the github issue tracker.

As fertilizer costs continue to increase, cotton producers are looking at ways to be more efficient without sacrificing yield and quality. Fortunately, says University of Georgia soil scientist Glen Harris, there are several things that can be done towards this end.
Fertilizer prices have increased for a number of reasons, said Harris, speaking at the recent Cotton Production Workshop in Tifton, Ga. "The main reason is because more people are living on less land, and the food to feed those people is being produced on less land — that trend is expected to continue in the coming decades," he says.
In addition, says Harris, the world is experiencing its strongest economic growth in 30 years. "A lot of developed countries have more money that they can spend on fertilizer to grow the crops needed to feed their people. The fertilizer needs of China, India and Brazil alone are very high.
"We talk about China in terms of markets, but they have as much total land area as the United States and about as much in cropland. China has 1.3 billion people and 55 percent of its population are farmers. China also has much more irrigation than the United States," says Harris.
An obvious reason for the increase in the price of nitrogen is the increase in natural gas prices, he says. Natural gas is used to fuel the process of manufacturing nitrogen, and it's a main ingredient for nitrogen fertilizers.
"We're getting our nitrogen from wherever there is cheap gas. This has been occurring now for a few years. The United States will continue to get a lot of its nitrogen fertilizer from Latin America and the former Soviet Union," says Harris.
Phosphorus and potassium prices basically are an issue of supply and demand, he says. Whenever the demand for potassium is greater than its supply, prices will increase.
"Phosphorus works in the same way. The good news is that the manufacturing capacity for phosphorus was recently increased. While the demand for potash has remained at a steady level in the United States, Asia and Latin America have increased their use. Some new potash plants have gone on line, but it remains to be seen if that'll keep up with the demand," he says.
Phosphorus and potassium applications should be guided by soil sampling, says Harris, and soil testing probably is one of the most underrated tools in making more efficient applications. "We scout for insects, and we don't spray until we know for sure what is in our fields. We also look for weeds before we spray. We should be taking a soil sample before we apply fertilizer."
Most growers are doing a good job of soil testing and applying lime and fertilizer, he says. "We'd like to see soil pH in the 6 to 6.5 range. If you drop below 5.5, then you begin having problems, and this can have a direct impact on getting the most value from your fertilizer dollar. If you drop below 5.5, toxicity becomes a factor. And if you get above 7, you start to lose efficiency."
With many farmers booking fertilizer further in advance than usual, some have been asking questions about making applications in the fall, says Harris.
"If you're applying only phosphorus, there would be no problem with that. Phosphorus is fairly immobile in the soil, and it will be there when you plant cotton in May. Potash is a little more mobile in the soil, so you might lose potash if you apply it early. Nitrogen is highly mobile in the soil. If you put it out early, regardless of the form of fertilizer being used, and if you don't have a cover crop, good luck finding nitrogen in May."
There are things growers can do to improve the efficiency of their nitrogen applications, says Harris, including making split applications. "The most efficient way to make a split application is to put out some preplant, some at sidedress, and some through foliar applications. Try and do at least two out of the three, probably at preplant and at sidedress."
This recommendation, he says, is based on data from the 1980s. "The reason for putting out nitrogen at preplant is to get the crop growing and to get it to first square. The sidedress application is when nitrogen demand increases. Foliar applications are good if you come up short, and you need to feed cotton during the bloom period."
The split application recommendation, he continues, is based on a rate and timing study that used 0, 30, 60 and 90 pounds of nitrogen per acre. The 60 and 90 pounds were split applications, and the rates were made with and without foliar applications. In this case, the 60-pound plus a foliar was the best treatment. At 90 pounds, yields dropped.
The study was repeated this past year at Tifton with similar results, he adds. "We got the same response with 30 pounds plus a foliar, but the 90-pound rate was better than 60 pounds."
Another popular issue during a time of increased fertilizer prices is the use of poultry litter used as fertilizer on cotton, says Harris. Georgia is the No. 1 poultry-producing state in the country, and the industry continues to grow.
"Based on old prices and the availability of nutrients — since all nutrients in poultry litter aren't as available as in a bag of fertilizer — I put the price of poultry litter at $25 per ton. Based on prices today, I'd put that closer to $35 per ton. Some people try and put a dollar value on the other nutrients in poultry litter, and on the organic matter. But our value is based only on N, P and K. I don't think you can count on the other factors enough to put a dollar value on them."
Without a doubt, cotton will respond to poultry litter, he says, but the fertilizer value of poultry litter varies depending on a number of factors, including moisture, temperature, feed rations, number of batches before cleanout, storage and handling. Due to variability, it is recommended that litter be analyzed for nutrients by a reputable laboratory before application rates are determined.
"A good, basic strategy is 2 tons per acre of poultry litter preplant incorporated followed by 30 to 60 pounds per acre of sidedress nitrogen, depending on soil type. This approach should avoid unnecessary P buildup and should not cause rank growth, boll rot, or defoliation problems typically associated with excess N. In addition, the availability of N from poultry litter, because it is an organic material, is less predictable than from commercial fertilizer. Therefore, sidedressing with commercial fertilizer N assures adequate N availability when the crop needs it the most.
There also is interest in other by-products and biosolids being used on row crops such as cotton, says Harris. These materials may have some value as fertilizers, soil amendments, or liming materials, and they may be free or available at very low cost, he says. However, great caution is needed when considering the use of any by-product to insure it can be used, safely, effectively, and economically, he adds.

Low Salt Diet Low On Positive Results
A new development in the battle against salt is leading some scientists to question whether a low-sodium diet is actually healthy for you.
In a study published Wednesday by the Journal of the American Medical Association, Belgian researches "estimated sodium intake of nearly 3,700 participants, with an average age of about 40, by measuring sodium in their urine at the beginning and end of the study."
What they found was that the people with the lowest amount of sodium intake "had no greater protection against high blood pressure after eight years than those who consumed the highest levels," according to the Boston Globe.
CBS News is quick to point out flaws in the study, noting that the 3,700 participants were "white, relatively young, slimmer than the typical American and had normal blood pressure before the study started." It also notes that the urine was only tested twice, and that sodium levels can fluctuate from day to day.
Still, for those living a low-sodium diet, tonight might be a good time to pass the salt.

It's Fashion Week, which means in addition to checking out the fashion forecast for Fall 2012, we're mining for the beauty and hair trends coming our way later this year. TRESemmé Stylist Jeanie Syfu created an undone side bun for Rebecca Minkoff's Fall 2012 runway show. To complement the mix of leather, fur, sequins and knits on the runway, Jeanie went with a chic, textured yet relaxed low bun to bring femininity to the strong silhouettes in the collection.
1. Create a deep side part and prep damp hair with TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Root Boosting Spray. Apply throughout hair from roots to ends
2. Diffuse hair on high heat
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 – apply TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Root Boosting Spray from roots to ends and diffuse hair. Be sure to layer the product to create a natural, rough texture
4. Apply a dime size amount of TRESemmé Smooth & Silky Anti-Frizz Secret Crème throughout hair to give definition
5. Gather hair into a loose pony on one side, fastening elastic midway down the pony, leaving the heavier side of the face-framing part loose and undone
6. Twist hair into a messy side bun, fastening with hair pins as you go
7. Loosely gather pieces from the heavier side of the part and pin into bun
8. To finish, lightly spritz with TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray
What do you think? I think this one will work nicely off the runway!
*Also, it doesn't feel right not to mention our sadness about the death of Whitney Houston. All of us at Product Girl have our own memories growing up listening to her beautiful voice. RIP Whitney.

The canned-food chemical bisphenol A, or BPA, has been under attack for years, with study after study suggesting it's associated with negative health impacts ranging from cancer and obesity to infertility and heart disease.
BPA is a common hormone-disrupting chemical used as a liner in metal food and drink cans and in cash-register receipts.
One of the chemical industry's favorite ways to deflect this criticism is to discredit many of the studies because they looked at BPA's health impacts on rodents, not species more closely related to humans. But a new study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is strengthening the push to ban BPA, showing that levels of the chemical used in many of those rodent studies—levels commonly found in most Americans—is also increasing breast cancer risk in monkeys, a close relative of humans.
"The sum of all these findings strongly suggests that BPA is a breast carcinogen in humans, and human exposure to BPA should be curtailed," says study coauthor Ana M. Soto, MD, professor of anatomy and cell biology at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston.
In the latest study, researchers fed pregnant monkeys bits of fruit containing BPA daily during their third trimester of pregnancy. They found that a pregnant monkeys' low-level exposure caused abnormal changes in the offspring's breast tissue. Specifically, the offspring's mammary glands were denser, one of the leading risk factors in breast cancer.
Read more: What is a 'hormone disruptor' anyway?
BPA is chemically related to diethylstilbestrol, an estrogen that increases the risk of breast cancer in both rodents and in women exposed in the womb. "BPA is an estrogen, and estrogens are considered carcinogens," Dr. Soto explains.
Much of the research on BPA and breast cancer risk involves fetal exposure and cancer that develops decades later. However, a study published in the journal Circulation in February showed a direct link between high BPA exposure in healthy adults and a greater risk of developing heart disease in the future. Different research appearing in PLoS ONE earlier this year discovered that BPA overrode the female body's natural heartbeat signaling and caused arrhythmia (erratic beating that could cause sudden cardiac death) in heart tissue testing.
The message? No matter what your age, and regardless of your desire to become pregnant, it's in everyone's best interest to reduce BPA exposure.
Read more: The truth about canned soup
The Food and Drug Administration was sued and forced to consider a BPA ban in food packaging, but said earlier this year it needed more time to determine whether the chemical threatens human health.
Still, a select few companies say they are planning to move away from use of BPA in canned goods, including Campbell's Soup. Some canned food companies, like Eden Foods, have already removed BPA from cans and named the replacement. Campbell's, however, isn't naming the replacement chemical or saying when the BPA ban will go into effect. Also of concern? Some researchers fear BPA replacement chemicals could be just as bad—or worse—than BPA.
Avoiding canned food and drinks is a great way to reduce BPA exposure, but because the chemical is produced in heavy volumes and used in so many products, many public health experts believe government needs to intervene to cut back on this toxic exposure.
"Even if we try to decrease our exposure to BPA by reducing the use of plastics and canned food, and avoiding to touch credit card receipts, there's no way of knowing if we've reduced exposure by 5 percent or 95 percent; thus, what we need is regulatory action to decrease human exposure to BPA," says Dr. Soto.

Queens assemblyman denies travel voucher payment abuse as FBI seizes records
Assemblyman claims innocence during apparent probe of travel voucher abuse
William Scarborough rose early Wednesday in his Howard Johnson motel room to down a few ibuprofen for his pre-arthritis. That would only be the start of the state assemblyman's considerable discomfort.
FBI agents descended on the Queens Democrat's hotel room around 5:45 a.m. The same morning, agents visited his Capitol and district offices as well as his home as part of an apparent investigation into his use of the Legislature's travel voucher system, under which lawmakers can file for a $172 per diem payment for meals and lodging for each day they are in town on state business.
"This didn't help," Scarborough told reporters gathered outside his office Wednesday. "I took ibuprofen, and the next thing I knew there was a knock on the door."
Investigators carted away several boxes of documents from his office — "just about everything" — confiscated the assemblyman's smartphone and, he said, implied there might be indictments on the horizon.
But Scarborough said he is innocent, and that the investigators' questions seemed motivated by a misunderstanding of how the voucher system works. He said the believed the inquiry was triggered by a "hit job" in a New York City tabloid, an apparent reference to an October 2012 article in the New York Post that detailed the more than $59,000 in payments he collected in 2010 and 2011.
"I'm innocent," Scarborough said in an impromptu 15-minute news conference outside his sixth-floor suite of offices in the Legislative Office Building as groups of citizens in town to lobby lawmakers on the state budget streamed past.
"But I understand the reality," he said. "I understand what it means to stand here with you guys, and I understand how that's going to look. And I understand how it will never, ever be removed — even if this whole thing goes away. This is what it is."
Scarborough said agents quizzed him about per diem claims for days he was teaching an evening class at Brooklyn College. That class, he said, ended at 6:30 p.m., allowing him to hit the road for the roughly two-and-a-half-hour drive to Albany by 9 or 9:30 p.m.
"The Assembly regulations say that if I spend the night in Albany on that day, let's say the 4th, I'm entitled to claim that day as having been here," Scarborough said. "And so this is just one example of what I think is a misrepresentation or misreading of the rules. There were others. I don't know the universe of what they have. But of the ones that they presented to me, I think they are refutable."
A spokeswoman for the FBI in Albany confirmed that the bureau executed search warrants at Scarborough's Albany office and "multiple" other locations, including in New York City. But she declined to discuss the nature or scope of the investigation. A spokesman for Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office, which Scarborough said is involved in the inquiry, referred comment to the FBI.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney Richard Hartunian of New York's Northern District said the searches were part of an "ongoing" investigation, adding "Mr. Scarborough has not been charged and is presumed innocent."
The investigation appears to be joint effort between the Albany FBI's white collar crime section and Schneiderman's public integrity unit.
The raids are yet another ding in the reputation of the scandal-prone Legislature and of Scarborough's section of Queens, which was rocked almost exactly a year ago by a series of arrests that began with federal corruption charges against state Sen. Malcolm Smith, whose district covers almost all of Scarborough's.
They also come at an awkward time for lawmakers, who are in the final stages of negotiating a state budget that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has insisted include a package of reforms — including public financing of elections — to tamp down corruption.
Three weeks ago, Brooklyn Democrat William Boyland Jr. was bounced from his Assembly seat when a federal jury convicted him of extortion and soliciting bribes. Boyland was also convicted of submitting some $70,000 worth of bogus per diem and travel vouchers.
"There's no question that we are under scrutiny ... in the Assembly," Scarborough said. "It is also true that my particular area of southeast Queens is also under scrutiny for various reasons. ... The irony to me is I've tried to go out of my way to keep on the straight and narrow."
In 2012, Scarborough topped the Assembly in per diem payments, pulling in an additional $33,986 above his $79,500 base salary and $12,500 bonus (known as a "lulu") for chairing the Small Business Committee.
Scarborough's expense and per diem haul dropped to $28,438 last year, according to data from state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli's office. He has claimed $10,349 so far this year.
The lawmaker said his claims are consistently high because "I have a habit of coming up here off-session."
"I don't see where I can just leave my office here for six months and not come here and think that business is being taken care of," he said.
Scarborough, who said he was shocked by the raid, said agents pressured him help them further other investigations.
"They said to me for example, you know, 'All right, we'd like you to take responsibility and help us if you know of any corruption.' And the reality is I don't know of any corruption because if anything seems to come my way I try to get out of it," Scarborough said. "I was at a disadvantage. It would have been easier for me to say, 'OK, yeah, I know of this person. We sat down and we talked about putting money under the table.' But I don't know about that."
Scarborough said he believes agents will come up empty-handed. And he said investigators sent mixed signals about the likelihood that there will be charges.
"What I was told was that there might be indictments and I would not be one of them. When I spoke with people here (later), they seemed to have kind of tempered that statement, so I have no idea," Scarborough said. "It was implied. I don't want to misstate, but that was the implication at the time."
He added: "In this business, you're guilty until proven innocent. That's just the fact, OK? And I have always felt — because I've seen it with colleagues, I've seen it with others — that an accusation, an allegation, becomes an indictment."
