PMP Certification Frequently Asked Questions
- How can do I apply to sit for the exam?
- Candidates must complete an online application with the Project Management Institute (PMI). The application asks you to detail some of your work history and education. Once started, you have 90 days to complete it. It has an auto-save function so you can come back to it if you take a break from working on it. Once submitted, an employee of the Project Management Institute will review it.
- Typically, it takes about 3-5 five business days to review your application. Once approved, you will receive an e-mail from PMI. In the email will be an eligibility code. You will need this code to pay for and schedule the second part of the PMP certification process: the exam.
- How do I schedule time to sit for the exam?
- Once you are eligible to take the exam, the scheduling instructions received from PMI will instruct you to contact Prometric, to select a date and location for taking the exam. The PMP exam is a computer-based exam and may be scheduled by applicants at any time available at any of the Prometric sites.
- Information about site locations and scheduling may be found at Prometric's website at www.prometric.com. Select the "Professional Licensure and Certification" for test type and "Project Management Institute" for testing program.
- How much does it cost to sit for the PMP exam?
- The exam costs $405 for PMI members and $555 for non-members. The annual fee for PMI membership is $139, so you save a few dollars if you become a member and then schedule your exam.
- What if I have to cancel my test date after scheduling the exam?
- You may reschedule or cancel your exam if done at least two full days prior to your exam date. However, canceling or rescheduling the exam within 30 days of a scheduled exam date will incur a rescheduling fee of $70. Be sure to confirm the cancellation/rescheduling guidelines with Prometric when scheduling the exam.
- How is the PMP exam administered?
- The PMP exam is a psycho-metrically based, computer exam of 200 multiple choice questions. The exam is offered by an independent testing company, Prometric, and each exam question has one correct answer. You have four hours to complete the exam. Many test-takers finish the exam with little time to spare. Each question has a level of difficulty assigned to it by PMI. The "mix" of difficult and easy questions determines how many questions you need to answer correctly. At the end of the four hours, your exam will be graded immediately and you will receive your results.
- The scores are the following:
- Below Proficient
- Moderately Proficient
- Proficient
- It is possible to receive a below proficient score in one area and still pass. However, you will need to offset that below proficient score with higher scores in all other areas.
- How many hours of study time are necessary to pass the exam?
- The exact amount of time varies depending on individual learning styles and comfort level. Generally students should expect to spend around 20-40 hours studying in addition to the time spent in the PMP Certification Exam Prep Boot Camp class.
- A successful study plan would be the following:
- Begin to Read the PMBOK® Guide
- Read the Pre-Class Advance Reading Guide we provide when you register
- Attend a our PMP Certification Boot Camp Training Class

BALTIMORE – The UMBC women's soccer team continues its four-game road trip with a pair of games over the weekend, traveling to Saint Peter's on Friday, Aug. 31 for a 4 p.m. kickoff at Jaroschak Field. UMBC concludes Labor Day weekend on Sunday, Sept. 2 at Long Island, when it takes on the Blackbirds at 1 p.m. at LIU Field.
The Retrievers (0-3-1) dropped its latest contest, 1-0, to Drexel on Monday. Junior goalkeeper Lauren Kadet (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas) tabbed nine saves in the contest, including seven in the second half, but it was not enough as DU's Lauren Stoller picked up her first collegiate goal for the game-winner.
Kadet, who entered the week ranked first in the America East in saves (22) and saves per game (7.33), has totaled 31 stops through four games.
The Peacocks (1-3) fell for the third time in their first four matches to begin the 2012 season, including a 5-2 loss to Wagner on Monday. Saint Peter's recorded 16 shots in the contest, the most by the team since Oct. 31, 2010, however, the Seahawks tallied 21 shots, placing 11 on goal and five reaching the back of the net.
Senior midfielder Jamie Lisanti accounted for both of the Peacocks goals on Monday. She is tied with junior forward Emily Fenice for a team-best four points on the season. Goalkeeper Caitlin Hoffer has seen all the action between the pipes for Saint Peter's, tallying 34 saves.
The Blackbirds (0-3) welcome the Retrievers for LIU's home-opener on Sunday, following a pair of 2-0 losses to Colorado and Denver at the Omni Hotels Soccer Classic last weekend. Long Island has been shutout in each of its first three contests this season.
Senior Jennifer Bannon and junior Jessica Sexton have each seen action between the pipes in 2012 for Long Island. Bannon has started all three games, while Sexton made her only appearance in the Blackbirds latest contest against Denver, coming in relief of Bannon following halftime.

AUDIO EASE Altiverb 5 (Mac)
OVERALL RATING (1 THROUGH 5): 4.5PROS: Superb sound. Useful selection of parameters. Extensive impulse-response collection. Many powerful new features.CONS: CPU hit, though improved, is still not to be taken lightly.MANUFACTURERAudio Ease www.audioease.com
Audio Ease, the first manufacturer to release a real-time convolution-reverb plug-in, started the convolution revolution in earnest with Altiverb. Initially available as a plug-in for only MOTU Digital Performer, Altiverb leveraged the Mac's Altivec vector-processing engine to produce very dense and realistic reverb. I reviewed version 1.4 of Altiverb in the May 2002 issue of EM and was quite impressed by its sound and its staggering processor demand.
FIG. 1: This figure shows a waterfall display in the IR view and mic positioning in the Info window. It also shows Damping & Gains parameters.
Audio Ease has introduced Altiverb 5, a major upgrade that maintains the reverb's outstanding sound quality, adds a raft of new features, and has an extensive collection of impulse responses. Altiverb 5 remains for Mac only, but it's available in HTDM, VST, MAS, RTAS, Audio Units, and AudioSuite formats. Like most professional audio software, it is copy protected, but you can choose either iLok or challenge-response authorization.
Now with Parameters
Altiverb's most significant addition is variable parameters. The variable parameters available in Altiverb 1.4 were the reverb decay time, which could only be shortened; predelay time; and wet- and dry-level controls. By version 4, Altiverb had added only basic bass and treble EQ. After Altiverb 4's release, however, Waves introduced IR-1, a convolution reverb with variable parameters. Altiverb 5 is Audio Ease's answer to IR-1, and it's a substantial one.
Altiverb 5's user interface maintains the basic look of the original interface. It has the large virtual knob for decay time as well as the Info window, which shows photos of the space being emulated and an illustration of where the microphones were placed when the impulse response was captured (see Fig. 1). Altiverb 5 adds a drop-down menu for presets, buttons that trigger internal test sounds, a size control, and more-extensive level controls. There's also a parameter-adjustment area, a snapshot section (added in version 4), and enhanced displays.
FIG. 2: The Info window shows a photo of the space in which the impulse response was recorded. Note the illustration of the stage positioning at the bottom of the screen.
The display section is now divided into the IR view and the Info area. The IR view has input and output metering and shows either a rotatable waterfall display representing the reverb characteristics or a multichannel display that shows the decay per output channel. In the Info area, you can cycle through screens that show the placement of sources and microphones, photos of the space, recording information, and a rotating virtual-reality movie of the space (see Fig. 2).
The parameter section has four pages — Damping & Gains, Stage Positions, EQ, and CPU — which you access using the radio buttons to the left of the parameter controls. Damping & Gains offers three bands of damping and gain controls for Direct Sound, Early Reflections, and Reverb Tail.
The Stage Positions feature resulted from research conducted by Audio Ease on the effect that stage position has on a room's impulse response. That feature allows you to place a virtual source (represented as one or two loudspeakers for mono and stereo sources, respectively) on the soundstage. You can move mono sources left to right and stereo sources closer or farther apart. Front-to-back placement is possible for mono or stereo sources (see Web Clips 1, 2, 3, and 4).
The EQ page has two fully parametric bands and bass and treble shelving EQ, with ±24 dB of gain on each band. A noneditable graphic display shows the resulting curve.
The CPU page has a meter showing how hard Altiverb is hitting the CPU, and it has several settings designed to allow the CPU load to be lightened in some situations. For instance, there is a decay knob that sets the level to which the reverb must decay before it is cut off. That control won't be much help for delicate or exposed material, but in dense mixes the cutoff level can be raised considerably without adversely affecting your audio.
More New Features
Altiverb now accepts multichannel inputs up to 5.1. The reverberator, however, is still only mono or stereo input, so the multichannel input is mixed down and then fed to the reverberator. Although it is always possible to instantiate two stereo Altiverbs for quad input, that still doesn't sound quite the same as a true multichannel input reverb. (The sonic difference could be noticeable for orchestral and post-production applications, but not for most forms of popular music.) Of course, the computational demands with more than two input channels would be huge. The Input/Output gain section changes its configuration with the output configuration, adding pots for multichannel output.
A new snapshot area allows you to capture as many as ten snapshots and recall them manually or through automation. The snapshots are easy to use and are especially useful for post-production applications. Transitions from one snapshot to the next are seamless if they use the same impulse response; if not, the output mutes briefly while changing. Though presets are stored in an Altiverb data folder, snapshots are stored with your DAW session.
You can now use the large decay knob to lengthen and shorten decay time, and the knob has gained a Reverse-Reverb button and a Size pot. The Size pot shifts room modes and affects decay time.
Altiverb comes with several built-in test sources. You can also add your own. The default setting triggers a test sound whenever you finish tweaking a parameter, letting you hear the reverb without having to start playback. That is a useful feature.
A new Presets menu contains applications-oriented presets. You can still go directly to the Impulse Response menu and select one from the large collection of impulse responses.
Hearing Is Believing
I evaluated Altiverb 5 using the same G4/800 MHz Mac that I used for the Altiverb 1.4 review. This time, however, I ran OS 10.3.8 and DP 4.5.2. Though considered a muscle machine when I first reviewed Altiverb, by current standards, this Mac is only a couple of notches above the minimum platform required for Altiverb 5.
Audio Ease significantly reduced Altiverb's CPU demands in version 4, and the difference is noticeable. Instantiating a single stereo-in, stereo-out reverb still made DP's Audio Performance meter jump from about 10 or 15 percent to just under 50 percent, but that's a lot better than when I ran it under version 1.4 on the same machine.
When I added a surround master and inserted a 5.1 Altiverb on it, the Audio Performance monitor started flashing red and green. But the overload light never went on, and Altiverb's CPU meter showed just under 50 percent. You'll need a Power Mac G5 to do real surround work with Altiverb.
Altiverb's sound is still great: very dense, smooth, and spectrally balanced. The EMT 140 emulation is the best plate sound I have heard from any digital reverb. The EQ and damping are useful and provide powerful shaping options. Add the color changes wrought by the Size pot, and it is clear that Altiverb offers tremendous tonal control. You can adjust almost all parameters with little or no interruption in the sound.
On an Impulse
The collection of impulse responses that comes with Altiverb is huge and includes many European churches, auditoriums, and recording studios, as well as a few from New York (see Web Clip 5). There's also a healthy selection of sampled hardware, such as the plate mentioned earlier, the AKG BX20E spring, the Lexicon 480, the EMT 250 digital, and many more. Each of them has a handful of impulse responses, adding up to a very rich assortment. With a convolution reverb, the key to sound quality is well-engineered impulse responses; Audio Ease constantly adds good impulse responses to its site, so you'll always have a large collection of reverb colors to work with.
Altiverb enables you to make and use your own impulse responses, as it has since the program original release. The Altiverb disk includes the Sweep Generator and Altiverb IR Preprocessor, with appropriate instructions, to facilitate the process of creating impulse responses in Altiverb's proprietary file format.
I have only a few minor quibbles: the lack of multichannel inputs is one, but given how difficult convolution is computationally, it might not be practical to expect that feature. Also, none of the parameters are displayed numerically until you click on a knob. Although that arrangement is workable , I prefer being able to take in all of the settings at a glance.
Audio Ease had a winner with the sound of the original release of Altiverb. Now the company has brought the product's features up to the same high level. Audio Ease did an excellent job of choosing parameters that will get used all the time, rather than going for the glitz appeal of things that you would use only occasionally.
Altiverb gives you flexibility and variety, is straightforward to use, and has good presets, all at a reasonable price. The sound of the EQ and damping is superb, and the user interface is designed well. The addition of test sounds and application presets adds useful functionality that will come in handy. The recording information and photos help give a feel for the space.
In short, Altiverb 5 is unquestionably at the top of the digital-reverb heap — a first choice for everything from post-production to jazz or classical, and from rock 'n' roll to hip-hop.
Larry the O's San Francisco — based company, Toys in the Attic, provides a variety of musical and technical services. He is also a contributing editor to EM. As if that weren't enough, he has a day job, too.

R2-D2 for Star Wars return?
- Bang Showbiz
- 15 November 2013
R2-D2 may return in 'Star Wars: Episode VII' after director J.J. Abrams appeared to hint at his comeback by posting a picture on Twitter
R2-D2 may return in 'Star Wars: Episode VII'.
Director J.J. Abrams has appeared to hint the robotic character, which has been in all six of the previous space films, will be part of the new movie.
Abrams posted a photo of himself, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and some crew members posing alongside R2-D2 on his production company Bad Robot's Twitter account yesterday (14.11.13).
The caption reads: "Hi from the workshop! #StarWarsVII (sic)"
Kenny Baker played the diminutive robot in the 'Star Wars' series, while Ben Burtt voiced the character.
It's not yet known if R2-D2's partner-in-crime, gold-clad C-3PO, will be in the film also.
Original 'Star Wars' cast members Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are expected to reprise their famous roles, but the cast has not yet been confirmed yet.
Disney - which bought the rights to the franchise in a $4 billion deal last year - is currently holding online video auditions for the film after completing nationwide open auditions in UK cities such as London, Bristol, Dublin and Glasgow last week.
'Star Wars: Episode VII' will hit cinemas in December 2015.

Problems installing Accordance on Windows XP netbook
Posted 19 February 2010 - 12:05 PM
The problem comes when I try to execute the installer. It give me an error saying "The application program Essential Installer 68K could not be opened, because an error of type -39 occurred." This also happens if I move the two files to a virtual hard drive and try to run the installer. I've looked at the Get Info dialog for each file and they are not locked on the hard drive.
Any hints or alternative installation methods I can try? Thanks!

We have no experience with using an ISO and reading it in BasiliskII. I suspect that the files are still corrupted by Windows. You could borrow a CD Drive and try to install from that.
OK, thanks, that could be, though the file was never touched by Windows except to mount the drive (the ISO was created on a Mac). Is there any history of reading the files over a network? Or is it possible to obtain downloadable copies? I don't know anyone with a portable CD-ROM drive, unfortunately, and am unemployed so I don't have the money to buy one.

We have had to find an alternative way to install to the emulator for users on 64bit VISTA or Windows 7. We do this by creating .HFV files which are the partitions/hard drives in the emulator. We have two DVDs now with prepared HFVs: the Primary 8.4-PC and the Graphics-PC. These make it much easier to install to the emulator. We also prepare for download as HFV files other CDs that are not worth mastering and distributing as HFVs. We have not yet done this for the Zondervan Essential, but I will pass your email on to our Tech Support, and he will let you know when this file is available.
Thanks, Helen. You're a peach!

Hello from Upstate New York! I have been looking through the site tonight (and will continue to do so for a while) as me and a friend are looking to make a couple of day trip through Maine on a geocaching roadtrip in early August.
I'll be trying to find some of the "must-find" caches as well as others -- once we come up with a way we want to travel. We're likely going to follow 95 up to the border and hopefully into Canada for a few hours. Our way back, we're likely going to make our way toward Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park and take other roads down the coast to grab a bunch of Earthcaches.
From my looking around tonight, looks like Maine is sweet caching. I'll look forward to this trip!

Thank you for visiting our Site. This Privacy Policy describes how SOPHIA protects your privacy when you use this Site.
This Privacy Policy is effective as of October 1, 2010.
At SOPHIA, we respect your privacy. So, except in unusual circumstances, we will not share your personal information more than is necessary to deliver this service. We may share your information with partner companies to operate our business (e.g. customer support, server host, etc.) However, we will require our partner companies to adhere to our privacy commitments to not sell or disclose your personal information unless required to do so by law.
We respect your right to make choices about the ways we collect, use, and share your Personal Information. We generally ask you to indicate your choices at the time and on the page where you provide your Personal Information. Depending on the nature of your choices and applicable law, we may also give you ways to change your privacy preferences.
If we provide a means for you to change your privacy preferences, you must give us enough information and a reasonable amount of time to process your request. Your new preferences will only apply prospectively. For example, if you give us permission to share your Personal Information with our affiliates and later withdraw your permission, you may still receive e-mail from one of our affiliates, if we shared your Personal Information before you withdrew your permission.
This Policy may be supplemented or amended from time to time by privacy notices ("Privacy Notices") provided at the time we collect your personal information. For example, certain pages of this Site may contain Privacy Notices providing details about the personal information we collect on those pages, why we need that information, and choices you may have about the ways we use that information. Our Privacy Notices are part of this Policy.
Privacy requirements vary from country to country. To meet these requirements we may include certain "country-specific notices" as part of this Policy. If any of the terms of a country-specific notice are different than the general terms of this Policy, the terms of the country-specific notice will supplement or amend this Policy, but only to the extent that the laws of that country apply to the collection of Personal Information through this Site.
This Policy is referenced in and is an integral part of the Terms of Use governing your use of this Site. Please take a few minutes to review our Terms of Use, if you have not already done so.

If you do not consent to the collection, use and transfer of your Personal Information as described in this Policy (and any relevant Privacy Notice), you may not use this Site.
We reserve the right to update or modify this Policy and any Privacy Notice, at any time and without prior notice, by posting the revised version of this Policy or the Privacy Notice on this Site. If we modify this Policy or any Privacy Notice, the modifications will only apply to the Personal Information we collect after we have posted the revised Policy or Privacy Notice on this Site.
Your use of this Site following any such change constitutes your agreement that all information collected from or about you after the revised Policy or Privacy Notice is posted will be subject to the terms of the revised Policy or Privacy Notice. You may access the current version of this Policy at any time by clicking on the "Privacy" link at the bottom of each page of this Site. To alert you when we modify this Policy or any Privacy Notice, we will provide a notice at the top of this Policy or the relevant Privacy Notice for at least thirty days after the new effective date.
From time to time, for example, because of changes in the law or technology or the way we operate our business, we may ask your permission to use the Personal Information we have collected from you in the past in new or different ways. We will do this by sending you a notice by e-mail or postal mail at the last e-mail or postal address you provided to us, asking you to agree to the change. If you do not expressly agree to the change, we may, at our discretion, delete all or some of your Personal Information from our databases to avoid using your information in ways to which you have not consented.

When my father passed away, I was 21. During the very few weeks leading up to his death I spent the weeks with my sister driving back and forth to the hospital. We would talk on the car rides up, spend all day together in the waiting room, then continue our conversations on the drive back. For some reason I don't remember to conversation, but I do remember us playing "Time Bomb" by The Format, over and over again and eventually learning to words where we were singing along.
Share a picture, words, creation or list; just come to the table with the beauty in the simple moments of the week..
Reflect on the blessings that were apparent to you this week.
Harvest them!
Link up your gleaned moment this week HERE! Please be sure to link to your post, not your blog. Your post must link back here or have our button in your post or the link will be deleted.

Mike Napoli hit a grand slam and drove in five runs, while Will Middlebrooks busted out of a slump with a three-run homer as the Boston Red Sox rebounded from a doubleheader sweep by beating the Oakland Athletics 9-6 on Monday.
The Red Sox, swept by Kansas City on Sunday, scored three runs in the fourth and five in the fifth. Napoli's fourth career slam keyed the five-run fifth and helped end Oakland's eight-game winning streak against Boston.
The Athletics dropped their season-high fourth straight.
Felix Doubront (2-0) allowed three runs on three hits, walking five. He also threw two wild pitches and struck out eight in 6-2/3 innings.
A.J. Griffin (2-1) was tagged for a career-worst nine runs — seven earned — and eight hits in four-plus innings.
In Anaheim, California, A.J. Pierzynski hit a tiebreaking homer with two outs in the ninth inning as Texas rallied from a late three-run deficit for a 7-6 win over the Angels.
Mitch Moreland had three hits and drove in a run for the Rangers, who also got three hits from Elvis Andrus in their fourth consecutive victory, snapping the Angels' three-game winning streak.
Chris Iannetta doubled in the go-ahead run and Luis Jimenez got his first career RBIs on a two-run single while the Angels took a 6-3 lead in the sixth inning, but Texas tied it with three runs in the seventh.
Pierzynski then hit his fourth homer of the season to right off Angels closer Ernesto Frieri (0-1).
Tanner Scheppers (2-0) pitched two innings of one-hit relief for the Rangers, while Joe Nathan worked the ninth for his sixth save.
Josh Hamilton had four hits against his former team after getting bumped out of the cleanup spot.
In other play, it was:
‧ Orioles 2, Blue Jays 1
‧ Rays 5, Yankees 1
‧ Indians 3, White Sox 2
‧ Mariners 7, Astros 1
AP and Reuters, WASHINGTON
Yadier Molina drove in the go-ahead run in the sixth inning, backing Shelby Miller's strong start on Monday as the St Louis Cardinals returned to the site of their Game 5 National League Division Series victory last season with a 3-2 victory over the Washington Nationals.
The other big hit for St Louis was Allen Craig's two-run double in the third.
Miller (3-1) struck out eight in 6-2/3 innings, allowing two runs and four hits.
All the Cardinals' runs came against Dan Haren (1-3), who gave up three runs and six hits in five-plus innings.
Edward Mujica pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his second save. The Cardinals have alternated wins and losses over their past nine games.
In San Francisco, Brandon Belt hit a game-winning single in the ninth inning after Buster Posey tied the score with a two-run homer in the eighth, as San Francisco rallied to beat Arizona for their seventh straight victory at home.
Posey's drive to straightaway center was his second homer of the year, both in the past two days.
Belt's first career game-ending hit came against Tony Sipp (1-1), who allowed a leadoff single to Andres Torres.
Brandon Crawford sacrificed him to second.
Jose Mijares struck out two in the ninth before yielding Cliff Pennington's double.
Sergio Romo (1-1) relieved in a double switch as Belt entered at first base. Romo retired pinch-hitter Eric Hinske on a first-pitch grounder.
Diamondbacks pitcher Wade Miley hit his first career home run, while Eric Chavez also connected.

The apostle Paul lived for several years in Ephesus, a port city in the wealthy capital of the Roman Empire's province of Asia. From there he brought the good news of Jesus Christ to people in surrounding cities and towns. He mentored a cosmopolitan group of Jews and Gentiles from all over the world who believed in Jesus. An altercation over false idols required him to leave before he wanted to, but the people he loved remained in his heart and prayers. In the first half of his letter to these believers, Paul explains what it means to have a new identity in Christ. In the second half, he tells how to live in light of this identity. And while cultural dynamics may differ between the past and present and his geographical context and ours, Paul's words have great application for us today. Knowing who we are, our identity in Christ and what that means, is essential to how we live. Earl Grey with Ephesians takes readers back to first-century Ephesus to explore the answers Scripture provides to the questions "Who am I?" and "What am I here for?" as well as how to live in light of these great realities. Leader's guide included.

text: Hailing from the Nile Delta, Egypt, we only use the strongest, longest and silkiest authentic Egyptian Giza cotton to create our knitwear collection. Working directly with 545 small family-run farms in the region, we bypass the use of traditional middlemen to ensure best business practices and guaranteed pricing (which for those who like numbers, equated to 35% above market pay last season). We work hand-in-hand with the farmers to understand their changing needs, providing them with subsidies like fertilizer and agricultural consultants, and their biggest request: accessible, quality education for their children. So, from funds raised from the sales of every order to date, we've built two schools in the Nile Delta farming communities, with another three underway for 2019.

One of the most difficult planting seasons is finally over. With high soil moisture and warm temperatures, crops could grow fast but the plant diseases will grow fast too. While scouting for insects, make sure to watch out for diseases also. This will not only help you in getting prepared for foliar fungicides if needed later, you might be able to take some control measures right away for certain pathogens.
Stewart's wilt is one of those diseases that may be controlled if detected early. It is caused by bacteria carried by shiny black flea beetles, the size of a pin-head. The bacteria live in the body of the beetles during winter and if the winters are mild, more beetles will survive. They cause bacterial wilt and leaf blight in the corn plants by feeding and injecting the bacteria into the plants. The insects strip away the green tissue and inject bacteria into the leaves. If not controlled, this disease can cause wilting and seedling death. Later, the affected adult plants that survive may develop long, wavy brown streaks through the length of the whole leaves. .
Several insecticides are available that can kill the flea beetles and control the disease but it must be applied as soon as they are detected. There are several hybrids available with excellent resistance to this disease. If you have susceptible hybrids this year, check with your Seedsman to make sure you order resistant hybrids for 2012.
It will still pay to scout and see what is in the field. If you have seed corn, flea beetles and Stewart's wilt tends to be more of a perennial issue. It would definitely require checking this year.
If you have trouble identifying the beetle or the disease, ask your Extension educator fro help. Many states publish pocket-sized field guides that can help you identify this and other key, early season diseases. Two of the best are published by Purdue University and Ohio State University.
For example, the Corn and Soybean Field Guide published by the Diagnostic Training Center at Purdue features pictures of Stewart's wilts at various stages in the plant's development on page 96. It also references other seedling blights, and what to look for in scouting for these diseases. Visit
www.agry.purdue.edu/dtc or www.entm.purdue.edu/fieldcropsipm.
Scouting for the leaf blight phase of Stewart's wilt is suggested throughout June and July. You can also scout for other foliar diseases prevalent in your area at the same time.

Baseball Therapy
The Corner-Outfield Inefficiency
On Friday's episode of Effectively Wild, listener Matt Trueblood emailed the show to ask Ben and Sam a fascinating question. Why is it that teams do not have their left and right fielders switch places more often, particularly if one of them is a better fielder than the other? We know that some players like to pull the ball, while others like to hit to the opposite field. Why not put the better fielder in the place where it's more likely that the ball will be hit? It's a fascinating question because there is no rule that prohibits it from happening. In the era of the infield shift, why hasn't anyone tried this?
Teams will often shift an outfielder from left to right (or the reverse) within a game if they make a defensive substitution, and no one minds. Sometimes players bounce back and forth and back again. Other than the fact that box score makers would hate it, why not within an inning as the batter changes?
Hey look, it's the #GoryMath signal!
Warning! Gory Mathematical Details Ahead!
My data set is all events from 2003-2012. I started with all fly balls, pop ups, and line drives that were fielded by either the left or right fielder and coded whether that was a product of a ball being hit to the batter's pull field or the opposite field. Home runs were not included, since you can't defend a home run (unless, perhaps, you're Carlos Gomez).
Hitters were more likely to hit the ball to the opposite field (55-45) than to the pull field, and this held true for right-handed hitters (54.5 percent opposite field) and left-handed hitters (55.4 percent opposite field). Strangely, this turns out to be the most important finding in the study. Hold on to it.
There was a split of 58 percent fly balls and 42 percent line drives overall, but when hitters pulled the ball, they were more likely to hit a line drive (54-46) than a fly ball. On balls to the opposite field, there was a 68-32 split in favor of fly balls. Line drives are more likely to fall for hits than fly balls, so when hitters pull the ball, they're more likely to hit something that's going to do some damage. It's tempting to think then that it's better to put the better fielder in the pull field, because that's where the rockets are going to be headed. It turns out that that's wrong.
There's an interesting fact to note about pulled balls vs. opposite field balls. Opposite field flies are easier to catch. Defenders caught 65.1 percent of opposite field balls, but only 44.2 percent of pulled balls. Some of that is due to the fact that more of those pulled balls are line drives. But the effect survives even after controlling for the type of batted ball. For fly balls, 80.1 percent of the pulled variety ended up in a fielder's glove, while 85.4 percent of opposite field flies were caught. For line drives, 13.9 percent of pulled line drives ended up as outs, while 21.6 percent of opposite field line drives ended up in gloves. A pulled ball is more likely to end up falling in for a hit. So, why aren't we putting the good fielder out there and the bad fielder in the opposite field? Read on.
Let's see what happens to those balls. Not surprisingly, because pulled balls are more likely to be line drives, and therefore hits, they produced a bigger bang. I assigned run values to each event (single, double, triple, out) based on the linear weight values that we use here for such things. I found that the average pulled ball was worth .206 runs for the hitting team, while an opposite field ball was worth .022 runs. Offensive teams want hitters to pull the ball. So shouldn't the team in the field try extra-hard to defend against pulled hits?
Well, no. The secret to why we don't want to put the good fielder in the pull field is this. Let's look at the value of the hits that happen when the fielder doesn't catch the ball. We know that pulled balls are more likely to be line drives than fly balls. Surely enough, those pulled balls end up as a single 59 percent of the time and as an extra-base hit 40 percent of the time. (There were some cases where the batter got TOOTBLANed, if you're wondering where the extra one percent is.) Opposite field balls went for singles 66 percent of the time and extra-base hits 33 percent of the time. Balls that were pulled and fell for hits had an average run value of about .584 runs. Balls that were hit to the opposite field went for .567 runs. It's a little more important to prevent the types of balls that fall for hits in the pull field, but not by much. And since the value of the out is pretty much the same, changing a hit into an out in the pull field has essentially the same marginal effect as changing a hit into an out in the opposite field.
Now, let's talk about our two fielders. One is better than the other and everyone knows it. In 2012, the best left fielder at catching fly balls (min. 100) hit near him (Alex Presley) did so at an 89 percent rate. The worst (J.D. Martinez) had an 80 percent success rate. In right field, top honors went to Jose Bautista (89 percent) and a participation trophy went to Michael Cuddyer (75 percent). Results for line drives had a similar spread, about 15 points in either direction. We'll be conservative and say that our good fielder is five percentage points more likely to catch a ball in the air than is the bad fielder in both left and right field.
The value of changing one marginal ball from a hit to an out in the pull field is worth roughly the same as in the opposite field. Therefore, you simply put the better fielder where more balls will be hit: in the opposite field. Remember the finding I told you to hold on to? Yes, percentage-wise, more balls fall into the pull field, but they have the same value as do the ones in the opposite field. The point is not to have a balanced defense, and you won't get one here. If 85 percent of fly balls in the air to the opposite field are caught now, compared to 80 in the pull field, it's tempting to reflexively use our five-percentage-point upgrade to balance that out. But that's the wrong way to think about the problem. The better strategy is to put your assets where they will have the most marginal impact.
What sort of effect might this have on a team? From 2003-2012, the left fielder handled 51.3 percent of outfield flies not hit to the center fielder. Our left fielder and right fielder are pretty good at sharing. There's also evidence that both are decent at fielding. Right fielders caught 83.8 percent of the fly balls hit their way and 17.7 percent of the line drives, while left fielders caught 83.3 and 16.6 percent respectively. (The fact that that adds up to 99.9 percent is a coincidence.) Right fielders appear to be slightly better fielders, although they handle the slight minority of the traffic. That means that the lesser fielder is slightly more likely to have a ball headed his way than the better one. But for now, let's call it even.
If we always had the better fielder in the opposite field, it would mean that 55 percent of the time, we would have a better fielder in position to catch the ball (compared to 50 percent now). We also assume that he would be five percent better than the other guy at catching balls, and that the value of turning a hit into an out is about 0.8 runs. So, for each fly ball to either left or right, the benefit of always making sure to station the better fielder in the batter's opposite field is .002 runs. From 2003-2012, the average team had 1,114 such balls over the course of a season, meaning that this strategy would be worth about 2.25 runs over a season. If the fielders were 10 percentage points apart in their ability to catch fly balls, the strategy would be worth four and a half runs. We're starting to get into "half a win" territory, simply by having the left and right fielder change places every once in a while. And it costs nothing.
Ah, But the Assumptions
We may also have a situation where the two outfielders involved vary in their arm strength. One might have a noodle, and the other a cannon. The only real instance where there's a difference between throwing from left and right comes on a play at third. In 2012, the best guy at keeping a runner from going first to third on a single (or throwing him out) was Jeff Francouer (72 percent) while David DeJesus had a mere 46 percent success rate. That play happened an average of 84 times to each team in 2012, and the difference between first-and-second and first-and-third is worth .25 runs (with one out). If we assume that our two outfielders differ in their ability to hold or throw out the runner by 10 percentage points, and that the stronger arm will be in left some of the time, that's suddenly worth about a run in lost value (although you might get some of it back when the single is to left field). So, switching the left and right fielders back and forth works best when both have comparable arms. If there is separation, it will mean that some of the value that you worked so hard to create will disappear.
One other issue that was brought up on the podcast was how far both fielders would have to run if they were constantly swapping places. It's an interesting question. Take a look at this diagram, which will give us something with which to work. Let's assume that the left fielder and right fielder are both standing about 300 feet from home plate and offset from the foul line by about 15 degrees, using a radial measurement. We can connect the two dots for the left and right fielder and both of those dots to home plate. Since the angle formed by the two lines radiating from home plate has a measurement of 60 degrees, and the lines are of equal length, we have an equilateral triangle. The left and right fielder will need to jog 300 feet or so each time they change spots. In 2012, the average team would have made eight of these switches in an average game, so our two corner outfielders would add an extra half-mile or so, spread out over three hours, to their workout that night. If they took the jog at a four-mph pace (not too hard), they could traverse 300 feet in about 50 seconds. That's going to add to game time.
Under Ideal Circumstances…
In addition, my shifting was based entirely on the batter's handedness. An enterprising team could do better calculations around individualized spray charts and could tailor their strategy to how that night's starting pitcher might pitch to each hitter. Maybe they wouldn't want to betray any of that information, except for the fact that "Our scouting report tells us that you are left-handed."
But there's another force at work here. In United States culture, it's not nice to look like you're trying too hard, especially for such a small reward and when you look weird doing it. As the infield shift has become more and more popular, I find it interesting to hear some of the reactions from teams that don't shift. Usually, they have moralistic underpinnings. We're gentlemen here. We don't shift. We could, but that's for the riff-raff to do. Brian McCann would totally shoot this down. Still, they're leaving runs on the table. I have to wonder at what price come pride and tradition.
So, should the left fielder and right fielder changes places as the batter changes hands? Yes. They should, under ideal circumstances. The payoff would be a couple of runs per year and this would not solve all the world's problems, but it would make teams a little better. And probably get them laughed at a little.

Russell, thanks for digging into this, deeper and better than I could. I'm glad I'm not crazy; maybe just slightly obsessive. A lot of the little questions that made up the larger inquiry get answered here.
Nov 25, 2013 05:59 AM
I wouldn't show up my poor fielding outfielder for a mere half dozen runs, or half a win, a season.
Nov 25, 2013 06:49 AM
I understand this sentiment fully, and there's probably something to be said for it. I would happily listen to an argument that says that showing him up is bad for the clubhouse and that's going to have a far greater effect than the handful of runs that this would save.
Nov 25, 2013 07:00 AM
"A question in reply though, meant only as a test of the limits: At what point would you?"
Nov 25, 2013 22:30 PM
I'd be concerned that asking Manny Ramirez to run an extra 600 yards might make him too tired to bother chasing the ball after it bounced off his head.
Nov 25, 2013 07:53 AM
I admit I didn't get all the way through the article, but one other possible issue is that reading the ball off the bat could be affected as the angle of the fielder's vision would be changing.
Nov 25, 2013 07:21 AM
I would agree that you would have to account for this, but I'd also argue that there are plenty of players who play both spots on a semi-regular basis. If a player knew he was going to do this, he could prepare for it better. I don't know whether that prep time would actually work. However, in one of the articles that I linked from earlier this year, I found that when a player does switch positions in the middle of the game, he performs at the same level that we would normally expect of him at that position. It even worked when I looked only at the first inning of the switch.
Nov 25, 2013 07:34 AM
I'd agree that there is an extra challenge. With players who play both positions, I don't think it would be statistically significant.
Nov 25, 2013 07:57 AM
Don't forget, by the way, that there are some parks -- especially Fenway -- where the difference between playing LF and RF is more than just "reading the ball differently". At Fenway (which is admittedly a worst case for this), you have all the weird angles off the scoreboard, and a big difference between the amount of ground required to cover in both cases. Also, there's a ladder in the field of play.

Don't teams nullify the need to do this by simply keeping the outfielders at the same positions, but shifting where they play? I mean, if you need to cover right field better, you just shift everyone over a bit. If your guy in right is a statue, you probably are already shifting your fast guys in center and left over towards him a bit, and if right field is a particularly likely place for the ball to land, you would just shift a little bit more. (just like the way infields usually shift)
Nov 25, 2013 08:49 AM
As interesting as this may be in stat world, the idea of watching this happen while in attendance at a baseball game is not attractive. Watching the grass grow? No, watching theRays shift their outfield based on pitch count. I suspect it would quickly lead to a rule change barring it. PLus you'd have to run a new metric based on the reduced range for extra running being done back and forth by fat OFs in day games in July.
Nov 25, 2013 09:31 AM
I fully understand that this would be boring to watch (you're probably talking about a few extra minutes onto the game of just guys getting into position), but it would have a small effect on helping a team to win more games. Is the job of a team to be entertaining or to win?
Nov 25, 2013 10:14 AM
Not sure what games some people are watching. It's usually at least 30 seconds between batters, as the next guy digs in, steps out, adjusts his batting gloves and digs in again. Unless and until THAT gets outlawed, I fail to see why this would be considered a unique or actionable nuisance.
Nov 25, 2013 10:51 AM
The job of a team is to be entertaining. If the sport of baseball becomes too boring for the non-hardcore fan, attendance will sag TV ratings will drop and baseball will become lawn bowling. Teams have to entertain, even when not winning.
Nov 25, 2013 16:47 PM
It is interesting to know that this might make a difference. I just don't think it is a good idea.
Nov 26, 2013 08:15 AM
Another assumption, which is hard to quantify I think, is that it's equally easy to turn hits into outs in the pull field and the opposite field. I suspect that it's harder in the pull field, and that might be another increment in favor of this strategy.
Nov 25, 2013 10:27 AM
As far as the time delay, you could try to find tape of the May 14th, 1988 game between the Braves and Cardinals (http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SLN/SLN198805140.shtml).
Nov 25, 2013 10:55 AM
I love this. Wonder if they were putting him in the pull or off fields. Not even too concerned with how it relates to this; that's just a neat thing to know happened.
Nov 25, 2013 12:33 PM
The play-by-play makes me believe it was the off fields. Worth pointing out, though, that the winning runs were scored on a double to DeLeon in left.
Nov 26, 2013 06:53 AM
"If a player knew he was going to do this, he could prepare for it better."
Nov 25, 2013 11:18 AM
That's not an invalid thought process, but extra practice doesn't effect a very big difference in skill for most guys. If it did, every team would drill all of its crummy defensive players until they dropped, to make them better.
Nov 25, 2013 12:31 PM
I don't think this is workable, for a lot of the reasons articulated above. The two principal forces working against this (other than the aesthetic ones, which are not insignificant, IMO) are:

Along these lines, my fantasy vision, what if instead of a first baseman, a team used a tandem LHP and RHP? That is, either the lefty on the mound and the righty at first or vice versa to achieve a platoon advantage over the batter at all times?
Nov 25, 2013 22:08 PM
Doesn't something have to exist to be studied? Or do you mean speculation?
Nov 25, 2013 22:32 PM
It's also specifically legislated against. From the official rules...(http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/official_rules/game_preliminaries_3.jsp)
Nov 26, 2013 06:55 AM
That's fascinating. Can't imagine many people knew this rule existed. Good input!

Swapping ourfielders HAS been done. I remember an extra innings game in the 80's where Rusty Staub was forced to play OF and he was moved RF-LF-RF based upon the batter's handedness. Sorry details aren't clearer in my head.
Nov 25, 2013 22:52 PM
While I vaguely remember a big deal being made out of that game, this is the only one I can find where Staub played both corners in the same game, according to his season gamelogs. 1980, 1982, 1983 and 1985 were the 1980s seasons where he played both LF and RF in the same season. However, this game shows only one defensive move on his part.
Nov 25, 2013 23:05 PM
At a critical juncture, I am going to send up my right-handed batter and watch your outfielders run 300 feet.
Nov 26, 2013 01:28 AM
also have to tell the OF not to bother when a switch hitter is up...
Nov 26, 2013 08:18 AM
Oookaayy. You show me the team that can send up more than maybe one or two viable big-league hitters as pinch-hitters, pre- or post-roster expansion, and we can talk about that. Teams don't have enough competent hitters on their roster to actually do that, and when they do, managers are some mixture of too cowardly and too dim-witted to use them.

The 10 juvenile whooping cranes were understandably wary and a bit stand-offish towards the costume when we first put them in their new, temporary home late in the afternoon of February 16, 2011. After all they had been caught and put into wooden shipping crates by their trusted costumed "parents" in MD and then after a long day of traveling they were pulled out and carried to their new enclosure by unknown costumed "parents" here in LA. Cranes don't like to be held, or carried, or restrained and all of those things had just happened, not to mention they were now in a completely new and unfamiliar environment with costumed caretakers that were also unfamiliar.
You might think any person wearing a crane costume looks the same, and they do for the most part, but people are different shapes and sizes and they walk and stand differently and none of these differences go un-noticed by the cranes. So our job starting February 17th was to win them over and gain their trust since we would now be the ones caring for and monitoring them. It is important for the birds to trust the costume because this allows us to observe the birds at a close distance if needed and it hopefully gives us a bit of control over the birds by having them pay attention to and respond to the costume. How might we do this? With treats. And what is a treat for a juvenile whooping crane? Grapes.
We spent time with the birds over the next few days observing them and making sure they were all doing well and adjusting to their new environment. We played the familiar brood call from the MP3 player hidden in the pocket of our costume, we encouraged them to eat from the feeders that were filled with the same pellets they were used to eating and we offered them treats. With time, patience, and a hidden Ziploc baggie full of grapes we gained the trust of most of the birds. A few birds remained a little more shy and kept a greater distance from the costume despite the temptation of delicious grapes.
Aside from assuring ourselves that the birds were physically fine after the shipment, spending time with and observing them allowed me to teach and coach other project staff how to work in costume and how to interact with these birds. It also allowed us to learn the dynamics of the group as well as the personalities of the individual birds. #2, a small female, was not shy at all and came right up to us, sticking close and begging for treats. #4, a large male, was also one of the first brave birds, apparently not fazed by the ordeal he had been through the previous day. #6 wanted the treats but wasn't quite ready to take them from the puppet bill so we put some grapes on the platform where she could reach them but then quickly back away. #10 remained the most wary and wasn't even tempted by the grapes, at least not on this first day. She kept her distance and just watched all the interactions and activity that surrounded her.
It was clear the birds were enjoying the water (having just come from the snow covered frozen ground of MD) as they walked and ran through it, splashed and bathed in it, and foraged in it as naturally as if they'd been living in the marsh their whole lives. We were excited to see #8, the youngest male in the group catch and start to eat a crawfish that very first morning and figured it wouldn't be long before the others would find their own natural treats in their new LA home.

The dollar value of mortgages issued by the biggest banks in this county during March was up 23 percent over February.
That was mainly thanks to a $30.5 million loan that PNC Bank provided to The Residences at River Club LLC, a subsidiary of Newton, Mass.-based Forest Properties Management.
The loan also helped vault PNC to the top position among Manatee lenders, records show.
In all, Manatee banks issued 522 loans totaling $152.8 million last month. That compared with 516 loans totaling $124.3 million during February.
Last month, in Sarasota County, lending by the largest banks remained fairly stable in March, with only a decline of one loan from February. The top 10 lenders in Sarasota County issued 685 mortgages worth $152.7 million, a 30 percent drop from the prior month.
In Manatee, PNC made 27 loans valued at $34.8 million in March. Second was Regions Bank, with 28 loans valued at $27.4 million. Wells Fargo was third, with 117 loans valued at $23.7 million.
Rounding out the list were Bank of America (60 loans, $13.8 million), Quicken Loans (66, $12.8 million), JPMorgan Chase (82, $12 million), SunTrust Bank (59, $10.6 million), BB&T (46, $7.75 million), Hancock Bank (seven, $5.6 million) and CitiBank (30, $4.4 million).
