Ideally, herbicides simply kill weeds during a crop's season and then after harvest degrade without harm to the following crop, but in reality, the breakdown depends on time and certain conditions in the soil.
With that in mind, Steve Fennimore, University of California vegetable weed specialist at Salinas, Calif., has been charting the fate of some new herbicides. What happens to the compounds in the soil is the basis for the plant-back restrictions carried on their labels.
At a recent weed school for growers and PCAs in Salinas, he gave some guidelines on how to minimize carryover of herbicides, particularly pre-emergence types.
"With a number of herbicides you have to be more concerned about carryover, particularly in a sensitive crop like spinach. Using less of these materials with banded applications helps avoid carryover, and it is also important that the banding be accurate to prevent overdosing or overlapping the application," he said.
The next step is to till the field after the crop is harvested so that the herbicide is diluted for ready access by water and complexes of bacteria and fungi that break it down with the crop residue.
Following with an irrigated cover crop or a rotational crop not affected by the particular herbicide will help continue the degradation.
"And then just good cultural practices, like maintaining the soil pH near the optimum for the crop, will also help. If it gets too far out of balance, some herbicides will have a longer residual," Fennimore added.
"If your rotational scheme is tight, you want to select herbicides that are less persistent. Prefar, for instance, has less carryover than Treflan."
Fennimore said growers at times call him for advice on how to speed up an herbicide's degradation. A typical example might be a grower wanting to plant lettuce after a Treflan application. A potential, generalized prescription for such a situation might be application of 300 pounds per acre of activated charcoal.
"But my recommendation for anyone with a problem like that," he said, "would be to seek some expert advice and soil bioassays to guide you in the amount to apply. Otherwise, you might spend a lot of money on something that may, or may not, do you any good."
In the case of lettuce, he added, transplants tend to be more tolerant of herbicides than direct-seeded stands.
Other conditions that discourage herbicide carryover are plentiful organic matter and higher clay content in the soil.
Some herbicides break down because of a variety of physical events, including adsorption to clay particles in the soil, leaching through the soil, volatilization, or being taken up and diluted by a high density of weeds. Others are destroyed by microbial activity, exposure to sunlight or by water.
Fennimore did trials on vegetables in 2005 with Chateau, a tree and vine herbicide having promise for use in vegetables but not registered for those crops in California. It is in IR-4 Program residue tolerance field trials.
He applied it at two rates, 3 and 6 ounces/acre, at two, three, and four months before planting broccoli, carrot, green onion, lettuce and spinach. He found no harm to any of the crops from any of the application timings.
Although he noted it contradicted what he found in his earlier trials, Fennimore said, "I have learned since that when Chateau receives about 8 inches of moisture, either by rain or any type of irrigation, you're going to get rid of this product." Chateau is degraded by a combination of soil microbes and hydrolysis.
"I think this material will work on rotational or fallow ground just as well as products that are available now," he said.
Fennimore also reported during the weed school on his recent research with precision cultivation. He said he has been drawn to experimenting with robotics in broccoli and lettuce because of the lengthy process for registration of new herbicides and the shortage of labor for hand weeding.
He also said several innovative Salinas Valley growers have been doing their own trials with robotic equipment.
For the past two years he's been working with Eco-Dan precision cultivation equipment being used in cotton, tomatoes and other crops. He has tested it in applying banded herbicides to accomplish the twin objectives of greater efficiency in herbicides and reduced labor costs.
The Eco-Dan guidance system employs digital cameras, a computer, and hydraulics to track exactly along the plant row while the tractor is in motion. The driver's only function is to turn the tractor around at the end of a row.
Fennimore said he reasoned that if the system could place cultivators precisely, perhaps it could also direct nozzles for herbicide bands.
He set up the trial with Dacthol on broccoli and Kerb on lettuce on 40-inch beds with two seedlines. Band widths of the herbicides were set for 3 inches and 5 inches, centered on the seedline, for comparison.
In both crops, both band widths, with the same rate, showed no significant differences in weed control.
However, taking into consideration only the costs of the herbicides, he measured differences between band widths. Kerb applied in a 5-inch band was $27 per acre, and a 3-inch band was $16 per acre. But in the case of Dacthol, the difference was much greater: $60 per acre for the 5-inch band and $36 per acre for the 3-inch band.
The trials also collected detailed labor costs associated with the two band widths. All the costs are being analyzed by Laura Tourte, Santa Cruz County farm advisor, for an economic report to be released when completed.

Thoughts On The Meeting Discussing Plans for 20th St. and Cloverfield Blvd.
Having missed many past opportunities to be present at public meetings due to scheduling, today's meeting was a reminder to me of what we have to work against in the perceptions of the public. I would say in the crowd of about 20-30 people, there was a rather tepid reception to cycling improvements that would shift space from cars. About 3 people were there strongly in favor of cycling including my self, with a few supportive voices and some people who bike occasionally but not so much to be an advocate. There were a few nay-sayers, and one gentleman in particular who was fond of talking over other people and consistently shot at any mention of something that might slow automobile movement by so much as a millisecond. In one of the more heated exchanges later in the public comment period he responded to my concern that automobiles are the number one killer of people under 30 as "that's just the facts of life".
As for the substance of the meeting, it was all about plans to redo 20th St. and Cloverfield Blvd. Both of which are full of potholes and cracks, and lack much of the pedestrian feel and tree canopy of other streets in Santa Monica. I'm going to limit my discussion to the matters of transportation, as I am not inclined to voice a strong opinion on which species of trees make the best urban canopy, which was a less controversial but other major component to the discussion. Pedestrian scale lighting is also proposed for both 20th and Cloverfield to compliment the tree canopy and make a safer and more inviting environment walking at night. 20th St. is currently targeted to becoming a bicycle route of some kind in the LUCE (Land Use & Circulation Element, a.k.a. Santa Monica's 30 year urban plan).
Bike lanes are one explored idea, but there is some vocal resistance to the bike lane concept due to it requiring the removal of a lane of automobile travel on the street. As an alternative sharrows are being proposed, which would be a first for Santa Monica, following the application of sharrows in Long Beach, Hermosa Beach, and soon the City of Los Angeles. Due to the potential traffic impacts on 20th requiring an EIR (environmental impact report) and the connection to Caltrans operated I-10, if bike lanes were to be put in the plan it would delay the approval of the plan. Since this plan to revitalize 20th and Cloverfield has apparently gone back and forth for years, there is little enthusiasm for delaying things any further. Which suggests to me the likely outcome is probably going to be sharrow markings on 20th in the more immediate future with possible plans to convert to full bike lane at some unknown future date as part of LUCE.
As for Cloverfield Blvd., it seemed from the meeting that it was practically a done deal to improve the sidewalks, add a few bulb outs (extended curbs to make crosswalks safer and more visible) for pedestrian crossing, and some trees using special and more expensive underground work to allow for big roots on the more narrow sidewalk of Cloverfield, while doing everything possible to not take away either street parking or car lanes.
Personally I would like to see more ambitious plans, but Santa Monica is treading a thin line between progressive policy and some members of the crowd that can be at times highly antagonistic to change. I think moving forward, cyclists are going to have to get more organized and show a greater presence in any public planning input meetings like this if we are going to see the change we really want and need by convincing the public that our ideas are sound policy. The naysayers make it out to the meetings, and we need a strong counter presence. I've been lax in commitments to public meetings in the past, in large part due to work scheduling, but I may try to negotiate shifting hours a little for certain days or even vacation time when necessary to make it to future planning meetings. The application of sharrows in Santa Monica would be a positive step though, and should be considered an added tool in the tool box for changing the road culture of this town.
Judging by the pulse of the crowd at the meeting and the long and bureaucratic process it takes for these sorts of plans to move forward we have a long uphill battle ahead to making Santa Monica a truly bicycle friendly and pedestrian oriented city, but it is vitally important we stay engaged. Live the dream, be the change you want to see in the world.

SW loses heartbreaker at Greenwood
September 26, 2011
Ron Howell
GREENWOOD — Once again, Sweetwater got off to a slow start in Friday's non-district game at Midland Greenwood. But this time, the Mustangs' comeback — make that comebacks — were not enough.
Greenwood twice built 14-point leads with the help of six Sweetwater turnovers. Then the Rangers (3-2) held on for dear life to survive a thrilling fourth-quarter rally by the Mustangs for a 28-26 victory.
It was an especially tough loss for Sweetwater (3-2), which exploded big plays all over the field — primarily through the air — and nearly forced overtime with an almost miraculous finish.
But the Mustangs simply made too many mistakes to pull it off, despite a 13-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Taylor Jones to receiver Willie Norman that pulled Sweetwater within two points on the game's final play of regulation.
However, Jones — who would finish the game with a career-high 346 yards on 23-of-36 passing — needed to complete one more pass to force an extra period and his two-point attempt was tipped away as the game came to a heartbreaking end for Sweetwater.
But what a fourth-quarter comeback it was; very nearly one for the ages.
Greenwood went ahead 28-14 by cashing in on Sweetwater's third lost fum-ble to score on a 14-yard run by quarterback Kam Wil-liams with 9:36 remaining.
But Sweetwater cut it to 28-20 by moving 72 yards in just six plays, capped by fullback Sam Nemir's 42-yard touchdown run with 7:54 left in the game. The extra point kick failed, but Sweetwater got it back after forcing a three-and-out. The Mustangs, however, appeared out of chances after driving from their 16 to Greenwood's 20, only to be denied when Jones' pass was tipped and then intercepted near the end zone by Timmy Murphy with only 1:16 to play in the contest.
But Jones would, as it turned out, get another chance to redeem himself as Sweetwater's defense was up to the challenge by again forcing a three-and-out. Greenwood's Trey Cave was stopped for a one-yard loss on a third-and-1 run from his 15, and Sweetwater got it back with 43 seconds left at its 49-yard line. Jones quickly went back to work, completing passes of 13 and 11 yards to Kaleb Hoover and then connecting with Parker Scott on a 14-yard throw to the 13. Jones then spiked it with :05 left, giv-ing Sweetwater just enough time for Jones to complete the desperate drive. He took the snap and found Norman in the back of the end zone as time expired. But the earlier missed kick forced a try for two, and the ending was not what Sweetwater had hoped for.
Thanks to turnovers, the Mustangs lost despite a huge 541-324 edge in total yardage. The miscues began early, as the first fumble led to a 36-yard Williams TD pass to Hunter Rose with 8:55 left in the first quarter.
A fumbled punt then set the stage for more points, with Williams connecting on a 21-yard pass to Colin Sullivan to make it 14-0 ith 2:35 left in the first period.
Greenwood, however, was unable to take advantage of another turnover and was forced to punt. This time, Sweetwater finally avoided mistakes and cut the lead to 14-7 when Jones found Nick Nemir for a 55-yard touchdown pass. The Mustangs then overcame two penal-ties to score again on their next series and tie it. Ryan Linebaugh ran it over from the 3, and Tadeo Canon-Masjoan made it 14-14 with the PAT. With the half coming to a close, Sweetwater missed a chance to go ahead as an interception near the end zone killed the threat.
In the third quarter, the woes continued. A short punt gave Greenwood the ball at Sweetwater's 28 and led to a 1-yard Williams run and a 21-14 lead. Then the Rangers upped it to 28-14 after recovering a fumble at the end of a 22-yard Jones run to Greenwood's 48.
While there were a lot of positive things offensively, coach Craig Slaughter ad-mitted the mistakes were simply too much for the Mustangs to overcome, es-pecially since Greenwood did not turn the ball over. "We've just got to stop the turnovers," he said. "But being in a game like this will help us down the line. It doesn't get more intense than it was tonight."

A small church sits beneath tall trees on a dead-end street, surrounded by boarded-up homes and many "No Trespassing" signs. Less than a mile away, graffiti adds color to a concrete underpass.
A small church sits beneath tall trees on a dead-end street, surrounded by boarded-up homes and many "No Trespassing" signs. Less than a mile away, graffiti adds color to a concrete underpass.
Despite its rather uninviting surroundings and being completely hidden from the main roads, Mount Nebo Baptist Church, which has stood on the outskirts of the north side of Spartanburg for more than 85 years, is drawing large crowds from all over the Upstate. Some come from the neighborhood, and others travel from Cherokee and Union counties.
"I see where we are as an opportunity," said the Rev. Ron Henderson, the church's pastor. "Where other people see an obstacle — a dead-end street, one way in and one way out — I see a community on the rise. If you really want to do God's work, what better place to be. God put us here. This is where we need to be. We need to be that bright spot."
On a recent Sunday morning, many attendees entered through the wooden double doors and grabbed folding chairs from the back of the sanctuary. All of the pews were filled with men, women and children — both white and black — all dancing, clapping their hands and rejoicing as a band played music.
"You can actually feel the Holy Spirit move through the whole congregation," said Joshua King, a 27-year-old who attends the church.
Many of the people who have entered through the double doors of the wood-paneled church over the years have left transformed, Henderson said.
The sign out front, facing the dead-end street, reads: "Where broken vessels are made whole." Henderson says the words perfectly describe the church.
"People come in broken, and the Lord begins to put them back together," he said. "God is just doing miracle after miracle here. It's amazing to see people's lives being transformed."
After a past that included selling and abusing drugs, gang activity and time in prison, Joshua King now spends a lot of his time attending church at Mount Nebo and ministering to those around him.
This church "totally changed my life," he said after a recent service. He drives from Jonesville each Sunday.
"When I first came to this church, my pants were sagging, I wore bandanas in my left and right back pockets and I was doing devious stuff," King said. "But now, you can't even get me to sag any of my clothes."
Church member Stephanie Yates said she was walking down the street one day when Henderson pulled over in his car and invited her to church.
At the time, Yates was living under a bridge as a crack addict and prostitute.
"Henderson told me that life didn't have to be this way," she said. "He told me to hop in his car and come to his church, which was just around the corner."
Yates said she didn't think God could help her. But now, she has a job, her own apartment and no longer does drugs or sells her body.
"Everything is going great," Yates said. "I'm not the one who turned my life around. God did it."
Today, the church draws about 130 people every Sunday morning, including about 30 children who gather for children's church in a cramped kitchen below the sanctuary. The building has no classrooms. There are no bathrooms on the same floor as the sanctuary — they are downstairs.
"Space is a problem," Henderson said. "But that's a good problem to have."
Henderson said that, while he wishes the church had more space, he is thankful for the space he does have.
"The building doesn't matter; what matters is that people come and experience God. What matters is that people leave better than they walked in."
But space hasn't always been an issue. About seven years ago, Henderson was invited to Mount Nebo to preach a sermon as a guest. As he stood behind the pulpit, there were only 10 people in the congregation.
But despite the size of the group, Henderson felt a "calling from God."
"I got up in the pulpit, and it was the craziest thing: I felt like I was at home," he said. "God told me that this was the church that I was supposed to be at."
Two weeks later, Mount Nebo's pastor, a friend of Henderson's, took a job at another church. A short time later, Henderson got a phone call.
"I never told anybody but my mother" that God was calling me to preach there, he said. "The church came to me and asked me to teach Bible study until they found another pastor."
Months later, the church nominated him as their pastor. At the time, the church had only 10 members.
He said when he began preaching at the church, he knocked on every door in the surrounding neighborhood, inviting each resident to attend.
"Everywhere I go, I ask people where they go to church," he said. "Most of the time, people say they are looking for a church. The problem is that people never ask. So by asking, I'm inviting."
Everyone can relate to his sermons and feel like they belong at Mount Nebo, he said.
"People feel like they fit in here," Henderson said. "We accept everyone, no matter what. Jesus heals everyone."
And Mount Nebo is not "a black church," Henderson added. "I want to pastor a church that is going to represent heaven. No matter the color of your skin, it's really about the heart."
Henderson said he has baptized about 700 people in seven years.
"This isn't anything I am doing," he said. "This is what God is doing."

A Welcome from the Master
A Welcome from the Master
Welcome to St Catherine's - Oxford's youngest mixed (undergraduate and graduate) college and also one of its largest and most diverse communities. Whatever your reason for visiting us, you will be interested to know that the College has an atmosphere of openness and friendliness that greatly assists our primary mission: the pursuit of academic excellence and the enhancement of creative thinking. We treasure the traditional values of Oxford college life, but our modern architecture gives us a distinctive position to pursue a modern agenda. Our college motto, Nova et Vetera (the new and the old), reflects this. The college environment values greatly the study of the sciences and arts in equal part, and we are proud of the strong showing of St Catherine's among the list of Nobel Prize Laureates. The work of ten individuals associated with the College, including three alumni and six Fellows, has been recognised with a Prize.
We celebrated our fifth decade as a College last year, and in celebration of this major landmark, we have published a commemorative book, St Catherine's, Oxford: A Pen Portrait. This lively anthology, encompassing the stories and memories of the individuals who have shaped our College, is a tribute to our community. The book tells a compelling story, charting the rich legacy we inherited from our nineteenth century Delegacy forefathers, through to the embodiment of Alan Bullock's vision realised in Arne Jacobsen's masterpiece, finishing with the voices of the current generation in the twenty-first century.
If you are thinking of studying here, please do cross our threshold to experience the atmosphere for yourself. You are very welcome to come and visit, either on one of our open days or at other times. I was recently told in the heart of London that Catz is a community known for 'Unpretentious Excellence'. See whether you think we measure up to that by looking at the pages of our website.
The Master, Roger W Ainsworth, MA, DPhil, FRAeS.

Dear all,
Today, we have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013.
You gotta be kidding me. 4 MONTHS
Its more like seven months. Its only coming into February now.
Yeah. But think about this - Bioshock Infinite in the Spring, GTAV in the Fall. Talk about a lucrative year for Take Two.
Extra time can only mean more polish, and, when Grand Theft Auto is involved, take all the time you need Rockstar.
I totally dont feel the hype for GTA,I can wait till September
A game of this magnitude needs as much time on the cooker as possible. At least now I know that I'll have no need to buy a next-gen console this fall.
Good, I want to play it in winter when it's cold and boring. Rather than in spring when i want get out and live.
...now they better release a god damn pc version of the game with this delay...OR ELSE....
huh...or else...... im gonna take the ps3 version.
WTF! What happened to a Spring release...
What a goddamn joke. At least have the goddamn decency to not give a "spring" release window 2-3 months prior to the damn delay...
This is Fantastic for me at least, no one sees the barrage of games releasing this year and in Spring alone? I gotta gear up for Crysis 3 and Revengence is Feb, God of War, Bioshock and Naruto in March, Soul Sacrifice in April, The Last of Us in May, PSN titles in summer(Drought season) and Splinter cell in August,with GTA V right there in september
need the spacing for real man
MurDocINC makes a very good point, im more of a winter gamer
The wii u is tanking right now with a very thin lineup of games for the near future. Gta5 on ps3 and 360 in the spring with no wii u version could be devasting to nintendo.
Four months is enough extra time to finish a port for the wii u that releases day and date with everyone else.
Desperate nintendo money hat?
Ok probably not, it's likely just the usual rockstar delay. But you never know...
Anyone noticed this is the same date as Killzone Mercenary release date? Sony should get to work on changing the date, otherwise Killzone is gonna be forgotten which is a shame because it's looking pretty good.
8 months ! F**king ballsack
This year is definitely gonna be very competitive. Very hard to say which game will be GOTY...
as for GTA5, I can wait, no problem.
I would rather wait a little longer so its a perfect game rather than launch early with bugs/naff grahics etc
omg.. september release date? just like gta4 , red dead redemption, max payne 3 R* always announces games then delays them till april.
dammit im pissed. fucking R* always with delays.
That's not Spring! That's more like fall 2013!
Im not even mad because there are so many games coming out this year.
It will be fun to see ign review and see if they use the delay as a negative like they did with gt5 lol
Between the lines, this tell's me there will be no nextgen consol this year...
YOU have to be kidding me. :P
If they bring out a demo, I think most people will have the patience to wait.
It is disappointing news never the less.
when are you gonna learn ? R* never releases demos
I know they dont, it's obvious.
I just said IF, one can dream can he not?
I know right...are they serious
Why tease us about a Spring release then have it on the first month of FALL.
They showed this off ages ago
Give us a new trailer or something
EDIT @Below
It's different though...it's GTA one of the most anticipated games this year. If Rockstar give us a rough Spring release date only to change it to fall then of course your going to be a little upset because you have to wait longer.
hahah I can't believe people are really crying about the delay. they always delay their games and I'm sure the game will be better for it. I don't mind the wait especially this year, there is ALOT of stuff coming out and when GTA comes out everything else will be ignored, by me at least. nothing bad ever comes from more polish. and when this game does come out. no one will remember the delays. they will just shut up enjoy it. so thank R* for letting enjoy other games this year instead of complaining :P
Have they ever NOT delayed a game yet?
Thats life, things change..not everything is set in stone, particularly in game development. Would u rather have a rushed product with tons of bugs?
@Root I get that. But it's not the only game coming out tp enjoy. Plus take two has to think about the other titles they are putting out this year. And like LOGICWINS said I'd rather have a game with less bugs. And it's something that the game could probably really benefit from. AC 3 needed extra months to be polished upeven though they worked on it for a while. And GTA is sure to be mush larger than AC3 so although I am a little bummded. The world aint over, And at the end of the day we'll have a great polished game.
EDIT:And to people disagreeing with my other post above.you all have very good arguements thanks for putting in on the conversation with youre valid points of how im wrong /s
Hehehe R* afraid of The Last of Us in May.
Lol no I kid, put down your machetes and pitchforks
I'll be back in college when this hits; I wanted to at least get some time in before classes start. At least now we have a definite release date so I can go through some of this back catalog of games before it hits.
Dammmm......... i expected a May release for GTA5 and a September release for Agent. /s
This could make sony/ms delay the release of the next gen.....
OMG! Is this real - Are you kidding me....
All that Spring Release Bullsh$^ .... WTF? ROCKSTAR!
-September- Dam! that burns..-OUCH!
That's 8 MONTHS from now -FEB, MAR, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUG, SEP- -turns off computer.. goes back to sleep..
-You just messed up my whole day, ROCKSTAR! Thankx -Me Sad Now :(
My predictions were true.
I need to take down that Patcher guy!
This is completly jacked up. This game should be out now. I have nothing to play until this comes out other than The Last of Us. I am so ready for the next Playstation and Xbox. They need to stop dragging there feet and release already.
September isn't so bad. This will give Rockstar time to improve on any errors they have right now.
I'm sure many of us on here have a backlog of games that need to be completed. Not to mention God of War: Ascension, Bioshock: Infinite, The Last of Us, Tomb Raider & many more.
This Means:
* More Content for us
* More Polished game
* Less Bugs
* Better Missions
* More missions
* More activities to do
* More places to go
* More Details
* More Cheat Codes for chaos and havok
* More automobiles
* refined and touched up graphics that look as good as they possibly could.
* Better and more multiplayer features
* 4 more months of Game play Testing
* More secrets to find
* More music stations and possible more artists in general.
* More customization options.
* More More More , Better Better Better
How can people complain about this ? seriously there are hundreds of other good games you could play throughout the summer anyways.
I wish bathesda would think like that too. But they release unfinished games tha all that content you are talking about that RS could add, bathesda releases those in dlc packs
I wish more developers would actually finish the games before releasing, it seems like we have become the beta testers who buy day me than a person obeying 3 months after launch gets a better products
It's RS I have 100% confidence, GTA 5 will be 95 and above out of 100. Haters can hate but when GTA4 came out it was the best open world game, tha RS passed itself when they did RDR now everything they have learned from both and MP3 woll be passed on to GTA5.
Just from the trailers GTA5 is looking like a lot of fun. RS heard ts fans and now we will get the best GTA game till date
I still would love to see GTA hd collection
And I want one more game in today's VC since IMO that was the best GRA setting
Thats 3 days before me birthday!
Why did I get disagrees? Do people think im lying about my birthday?
Ok rockstar I will wait and pre order this now
This is great news for every game
2 games that gain the mst are last of us and fuse. Fuse was delayed now EA can put it out without any major competition.
One game that could suffer is beyond 2 souls if that comes out around September than it could be bad news for it. I say release beyond 2 souls in mid August and have the whole market to yourself since not a lot of big games come out in summer
The first batman game came out in summer and did quite well
I did NOT expect that release date.
Theres not 17 months in a year....?
Oh wait silly Americans
I think this is because they want to launch it near the nex-gen release too. Which I genuinely believe there making. Do you seriously believe they would release on this close to the launch of new consoles and expect maximum sales? Rockstar are all about MAXIMUM sales. If they sold early in year and said they would be making a nex-gen version aswell people may just hold off and thats a lot of months of lost capital for rockstar.
So I genuinely believe this is why its been put back.
Dammit...I wonder if it will be on Next Gen system's then...and that's why the delay?
The delay gives Bioshock the space needed to rack up sales plus R* could add extra polish to GTAV
Polish translation takes this long?
I hate this whole pr bullshit. Instead of saying that they want to give their upcoming titles some breathing room, they come up with the we need to polish it nonsense. How long have they been working on this game now? So, they are telling me they need 8 months to polish this game because its so "ambitious." Well, we will see how "ambitious" it is when it does release. If they hadnt given a release window to begin with, it wouldnt have been this annoying. Next time, rockstar, dont give any release window lest you are certain.
they gonna send out this gen with a bang! :D
We waited all month for the boxart and on the last day of the month we get a... delay.
Well they never really gave GTA V a set date. They just said Spring 2013. Sure, Spring to Autumn is sort of a delay in itself but thats not the point. GTA V was never given a fixed date,
It will still be Spring by then...in Australia! So R* didn't actually lied lol
I can wait.
I just hope they also now create a version for the next gen consoles. maybe same visuals, but 1080p and/or more fps
What the hell ?! Probably next-gen ports will arrive in stores !
Can't say im too impressed... so much for spring 2013
Getting tired of big releases given false release windows, starting to think they knew it wasn't coming out in spring a long time ago and only announced it on the trailer to keep the investors happy.
Really, I got flagged as "offensive" all I did was.yell "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY !" Its not like I was calling somone gay. Is it just offensive to use that word now outside of talking about homosexuals?

The 2014 edition of the TCM Classic Film Festival will run April 10-13. The festival, in its fifth year, will coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Turner Classic Movies cable channel.
Passes for the 2013 TCM Classic Film Fest will go on sale in November at prices from $249 to $1,599. TCM's Robert Osborne will again serve as official host of the festival, with Ben Mankiewicz also introducing various events.
The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel will again serve as the festival's official hotel and central gathering point, with screenings and events held at the TCL Chinese Theatre and Chinese 6 Theatres, as well as the Egyptian Theatre.
Last year's festival featured world premiere restorations of Buster Keaton's silent comedy "The General," the 1963 prison break movie "The Great Escape" and the 1968 Barbra Streisand musical "Funny Girl." Perhaps expanding on the notion of what makes a film a classic, the festival also showed Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and the disaster spoof "Airplane!"

Posted on March 15, 2013 in Miscellaneous Racquets
Recently, I raved about the potential of the Donnay Formula 100 racquet becoming a new favorite of mine (but I also noted having issues with the depth on my backhand). Move over Donnay, the Dunlop Biomimetric F5.0 Tour has quickly moved into that second spot behind my Babolat Pure Drive GT.
I strung up the F5.0 Tour with some Black Shark at 60 pounds (yes, I like tight poly strings!) and had an absolute blast hitting with this racquet. I found I could swing freely and had great access to spin and power. Balls that I thought I was missing by a couple inches were landing in. And my backhand was not a problem as I could swing fast and free through my backhand. I could control the ball and play consistent or rip the ball and flatten out or even access some heavy spin for defense.

Spending a holiday in the state of Maine is on the bucket list of many people. Ask the place they most want to visit and the answer probably will be Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.
What is the draw that has so many of us wanting to spend time in one of Maine's top destinations? In the 1800's, American's wealthiest families spent time in this beautiful spot…the Astors, Carnegies, Fords, Morgans, Rockefellers and Vanderbilts. Why did they all pick this particular spot? What brought the rich and famous to the area is also what brings tourists from all over the world to this special place. The answer is the natural beauty and the simplicity of the land.
Mention Bar Harbor and people immediately think of lighthouses, lobsters, and a harbor filled with lobster boats and cruise ships. They think of adventures on the water kayaking, sailing, fishing and whale…

Macy Gray, "Covered" (429 Records)
Macy Gray, "Covered" (429 Records)
Making an album of covers is always a tricky proposition. An artist tackling another act's song has the challenge of making a well-known tune their own while keeping at least some of the DNA of the original version.
It's a delicate task, but Macy Gray succeeds with "Covered," as the raspy-sounding singer returns with an impressive collection of remakes.
The handpicked songs include Radiohead's "Creep" and Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters."
Gray leads off the album with a version of the Eurythmics' "Here Comes the Rain Again" followed by Radiohead's "Creep": It's a clever choice on her part and she effortlessly introduces huge songs from artists of a different genre to a completely new fan base.
Gray continues to unleash her creativity with her take on "Teenagers." The song by My Chemical Romance is completely revamped and turned on its head as Gray switches the lyrics to take on the point of view of a parent.
Also included are short skits featuring Nicole Scherzinger and MC Lyte that show Gray's witty side, a quirky collaboration with actor Idris Elba on Colbie Caillat's "Bubbly," and a flash of love to Kanye West with "Love Lockdown/Buck."
Overall, this album is a further extension of Gray's wild and random side.
The album's full-bodied, colorful and shows that she's still willing and able to push the boundaries without compromising herself or her talent.

This playground takes its name from the adjacent Bayview Houses, which overlook historic Jamaica Bay. The development is bordered on three sides by Canarsie Park and on the fourth by Seaview Avenue.
The name for Canarsie Park comes from the Canarsie (or Canarsee) Indians, who lived in this area. They called this area Keskachauge (or Kestateuw), but Dutch settlers renamed the area New Amersfoort in the 1630s. In 1675, Jan Martense Schenck, a Dutch immigrant, built a house in the area of New Amersfoort, on Mill Island, within the current boundaries of the park. The house consisted of two rooms, and was built as a simple box of 20 feet by 40 feet, but the family expanded the house into an L-shaped plan containing eleven rooms. It is believed that the house was either entirely refurbished or rebuilt during the 1720s. When the British took control of the territory during the American Revolution (1775-1783), they renamed New Amersfoort the Flatlands.

Grae's Rating:
Begrudgingly feel-good.
I am not someone that PETA would put on their Humans We Hate List. I love Old Yeller and talk in a funny voice when cute animals pass me within a five-foot radius. I don't wear fur and don't use products tested on animals. But, I eat meat and wear leather…so I guess I could be on their We're Keeping an Eye on You List. Aside from that, an animal movie is usually just the ticket to make my eyes leak. Although Big Miracle didn't elicit one ounce, it did make me go "aw."
As is the case with most true stories, Hollywood-manufactured scripts tugging at my heartstrings are not so likely to make me marvel at the wonder and beauty of the planet because they stink of focus groups and long pages of script notes from an executive saying things like, "Let's make this character more urban with some kind of heart condition." Just like last year's surprise hit A Dolphin Tale, this film ends with news clips of the real people involved, making me wish I had spent the last two hours watching a documentary instead. But, I get it--statistically, more people enjoy watching that funny guy from The Office kissing on that crazy lady from E.T.. We've made our bed, so now we have to watch Dermot Mulroney fly a helicopter.
In 1988, three gray whales were trapped in Alaska when their normal path south froze over early, leaving them stranded and in great peril. When a news reporter named Adam (John Krasinski) and his wacky hippie ex-girlfriend Rachel (Drew Barrymore) get wind of it, their pleas for help get worldwide attention. The simplistic script draws broad strokes not making anyone a clear villain, assuring that everyone can rest easy knowing that sometimes even evil oil barons (Ted Danson) are willing to free Willy, even if it costs them millions. In fact, the movie is diminished by how fair it is to everyone. It's hard to refrain from rolling your eyes when Rachel is chastising the Inuits for hunting to keep their families alive, or when ambitious news reporter Jill Jerard (Kristen Bell) mercilessly charges ahead just to roll tape on a heartbreaking moment. But since everyone seems to be both shortsighted and big-hearted, it ends up balancing out in a strange way. The only real villain in the movie is the weather, working hard and fast to close up the whales' only breathing hole.
Although I've never been to Alaska, this movie taught me that man, is that place cold. So even though the story is chock full of characters that do very little to stir emotion, it's really all about saving the whales--and fast. If you know how the story ends, you'll know why the film pulled an "aw" out of me. I could have done without Hollywood's stock representations of what military leaders look like in meetings with environmentalists, but in the end, I was still smiling.

Anita Carter joined the family band when she was just 10.
By: Linnea Crowther
5 years ago
Who was Anita Carter (1933 - 1999)? Her name gives it away: she was, of course, a member of the Carter family, among country music's first superstars.
Anita was just 10 years old when she began singing and playing guitar and upright bass with her sisters June and Helen, and their mother Maybelle. By the time Anita was 17, the Carter Sisters were Grand Ole Opry members, famed for their sweet singing—and they were playing with some of the brightest stars in the industry, from Elvis Presley to Ernest Tubb to Chet Atkins.
And, of course, there was one very special singer who frequently collaborated with the Carters—and later became one of the family when he married Anita's sister.
But Anita Carter's career went far beyond her work with her family. A successful solo artist as well, she recorded a song, written by her sister June, which might sound familiar…
No, it wasn't a cover of the song that her brother-in-law made famous—Anita Carter recorded "Ring of Fire" before Johnny Cash ever did. After hearing Anita's version, Cash had a dream in which he heard the song with Mexican horns added. He gave Anita's recording a little time, but when it didn't chart, he made his own acclaimed version of the song.
Just because "Ring of Fire" didn't chart for Anita, don't worry that her career was a flop. She made it to the Top Ten several times—once in collaboration with Waylon Jennings.
Two duets with Hank Snow were also hits.
Amazingly, Anita Carter enjoyed a five-decade-long career in music, but she never saw old age. After suffering from rheumatoid arthritis for many years, Carter died in 1999 at age 66. Helen had died the previous year, and June followed her sisters in 2003. As much as we miss them, their music lives on.

As the Senate moves to consider the "Gang of 8" immigration reform bill, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is calling on the federal government to do more to secure her state's border, which she refers to as "the gateway for the criminal element."
Brewer says the federal government has given increased security resources, ranging from electronic surveillance to fencing, to other border states, while ignoring such requests for Arizona.
"We don't understand why the federal government will do that for other states, but they refuse to do it in Arizona," Brewer says in an interview with ABC's Senior National Correspondent Jim Avila. "I am not going to sit back and be the governor of the state of Arizona and not make a position for Arizona to the federal government that our border needs to be secured. It's as simple as that."
The "Gang of 8" bill now before the Senate promises to provide more resources for border security, if passed, but Brewer says she won't be supportive of the legislation, which also provides a path to citizenship for the estimated 10-12 million people currently living in the United States illegally, until she and ranchers living along the border are convinced the border is secure.
"They had a good relationship with immigrants coming across working on their ranches and going back and um very comfortable…and things have changed," Brewer says of the ranchers along the border. "They don't feel safe, they feel very insecure. They don't believe that the border is secured, their wives, their children, they're very, very guarded."
When asked how she would reply if a one of the "Gang of 8" senators were to call her, Brewer replies: "If they were to call me today, I would say our border is not secure, and I would not be in a position to support their measure."
To hear more of the interview with the governor of Arizona, including her explanation on why she believes those people who came to the United States should be labeled as "illegal immigrants," check out this episode of Power Players.
ABC's Serena Marshall and Betsy Klein contributed to this report.

WHITEVILLE � Authorities say a Whiteville woman has died after she and her boyfriend tried to rob another man.
Police say 37-year-old Amy Sasser was killed in a park in Whiteville early Monday.
Police say Sasser was in the park with 41-year-old Curtis Lawrence when her boyfriend, 41-year-old Darian Moore approached them with a gun. Authorities say the couple had earlier conspired to rob Lawrence.
A scuffle developed when Moore confronted Lawrence. The gun fell and Moore picked it up and fired, hitting his girlfriend instead of Lawrence.
Moore is charged with robbery and first-degree murder. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.

FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga. – Taking a brief respite from conference play at the Emmanuel College Tournament over the weekend, the King University men's volleyball team was unable to come away with a win in their first day of tournament play, being swept by the tournament hosts before falling in four sets to Warner University in the nightcap.
Emmanuel (3-4) avenged a King sweep over the Lions on February 1 with a sweep of their own on Friday afternoon. Each of the first two sets were won by scores of 25-23. In the first set, King opened up a 16-8 lead after a Matthew Lychock and Jeff Bosslet block before the Lions mounted a comeback. A 11-3 surge, sparked by a kill and two solo blocks from Emmanuel's Alex Barbosa, made the score 19-17 in favor of the Tornado.
King scored three straight points on kills from Kiel Bell, Eddie Moushikhian, and Lychock to open up a 22-17 lead, but the Lions would score seven unanswered points, including two on service aces, to reach set point. The Tornado pulled within a point, but a Ryck Webb kill ended the first set and gave the win to Emmanuel.
The second set was much closer throughout, with neither team leading by more than four points. Down 24-20, King rattled off three consecutive points, including solo blocks by Bosslet and Nick Serowski, to pull within a point. With a Barbosa kill, however, Emmanuel stopped the rally and took the set. The Tornado held a 20-19 lead in the third set before a 5-0 Lions run that included two solo blocks from Webb and another from Barbosa ended the match.
The Lions were led by Webb, who had 16 kills and just three errors on 25 attempts for an attack percentage of .520. He also added three solo blocks and one block assist. Barbosa had four solo blocks as well. The Lions hit .279 as a team for the match and had 15 team blocks, holding King's attack percentage to just .071. Moushikhian's 13 kills on 24 attempts led the Tornado. Jeremy Funk and Serowski each had seven digs.
Against Warner (5-4), the Tornado again struggled on the attack, combining for an .088 hitting percentage. King led in the early going of the first set and held a slim 9-7 advantage before the Royals took control by scoring eight of the next nine points, including seven consecutive. King was only able to muster four points over the remainder of the set, falling 25-13. The teams traded points throughout much of the second set, and a Serowski kill gave King a 23-22 advantage. Three straight points gave the Royals the win.
It would be the Tornado that would climb from a large deficit in the third set, fighting back from a 22-17 Royals' advantage by scoring six of the next eight points, including four in a row after a Martin Krueger kill gave Warner match point. King again fell behind 25-24 after a service error, but fought back to take the lead and used two straight Royals' errors to earn a 28-26 win. The Royals gained control from the outset of the fourth and decisive set, coasting to a 25-15 victory.
Serowski's 12 kills led the Tornado in the Warner match, while Matthew DeLong had 28 assists. Funk led the team with 10 digs. Warner, which held King to just three kills in the first set and totaled 11 team blocks, hit .252 for the match behind 18 and 16 kills from Joshua Jordan and Christian Carter.
The losses drop King to 6-7 on the season. The Tornado will wrap up play at the tournament with a noon match against Siena Heights University on Saturday before Conference Carolinas road matches on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday against Pfeiffer, Limestone, and Erskine.

Illustrated by Ly Ngo.
Here I am, 35 years old, feeling like I have so much to offer the world, and yet I feel like a newborn baby (though my experience would say different)! I ran the health and wellness center for the world headquarters of a major national corporation right out of college, and opened my first franchise fitness center a few years later. A few years after that, after losing my first son, I sold the business and delved into a huge spiritual opening. Then, my husband and I left our marriage.
I earned my Doctorate in Naturopathy, traveled the world, studied in Ireland with one of the best transformational healers, opened a Holistic Mind/Body/Spirit Wellness practice where I did private sessions, held workshops, taught and gained clients from all over the world. Then, I self-published my first book, spent my entire "small fortune," and am now starting from the ground up in a new state (physically and mentally).
I am expecting a baby in June and need to somehow take all I've done, re-examine how to connect all the dots and come out with something new entirely, yet have that deer-in-headlights look right now. How can I move forward?
— Jennifer, Minnesota
Wow! You're clearly an entrepreneur, having conceived and run two different businesses. You're also open to constantly learning (and you're smart!), having earned a doctorate; you're an adventurer, having traveled the world. You're a seeker, having explored your spiritual side. You've survived the end of a marriage and the unimaginable loss of a child and came through to the other side. You have lived a remarkable life and, indeed, have so much to offer!
Where's the "deer-in-the-headlights" feeling coming from now? You have a history of switching gears and bravely trying new things. The key question to ask yourself is: Why is it different this time?
Is it that you have so many interests, strengths, and talents that you're overwhelmed with the number of choices you have in front of you? Is it that you move through experiences in search of something you have not yet found — and fear you may never find? Is it that you have a desire to live a certain kind of life — or be a certain kind of person — for your new baby?
What is your truth? You've undoubtedly helped others find theirs — now it's time to find your own. And finding it will help you move ahead with confidence and take the steps you will intuitively know are right for you.
This will sound strange, but as part of your process, sit down and write your own obituary. It will make you focus, with laser-like precision, on how you want to be remembered, the values you want to live by and what you want your life to mean. Once you have articulated that for yourself, then go and live that life. Because you have the experience and passion to create anything you can imagine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Atariage37 from CHIC AND COMFY I BROUGHT THIS DRESS FOR MY MOM'S SURPRISE BLACK AND WHITE PARTY AND IT WAS PERFECT. THE WHITE STRIPES ARE TRULY WHITE AND NOT CREAM. THE DRESS IS SO COMFORTABLE AND COMES WITH A SLIP ATTACHED. THE LENGTH IS A PERFECT MIDI-LENGTH AND FIT BEAUTIFULLY. THE DRESS LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE PICTURE. I AM 5"5' AND I HAVE FULL HIPS, A GENEROUS DERRIERE, AND FLAT TUMMY. THE DRESS WAS SEXY WITHOUT TRYING TOO HARD, AND IT WAS A HIT.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nicolabella from Great Dress! I'm 5'6'' 132 lbs and tried this on in a Small, I will be buying it in an X Small when the coupons come out next week. I think the dress is much more flattering when it is fitted and not loose. In my opinion, you need to go a size down. Try this dress on in the store or know that you risk having to exchange it for a different size (if you choose to buy it online).

Rated 1 out of 5 by JennaLovesBebe from High hopes This dress looked amazing on line, ordered it and couldn't wait for it to come. Fabric extremely cheap, fit was not flattering at all on me. Maybe if I went down to an xxs small instead of my usual xs, it would have fit better. I found it was too big around the front part of the armholes, too long and did not flatter my body at all. This is the first bebe dress I have ordered in a long time that was not complimentary on me. I did not have that hourglass shape you should have with this dress. I found it did not fit right round the waist. I am 106 lbs, 5'2", 34, 25,34 and it made me look straight since it was loose around the tummy. Maybe a size smaller would have fixed that or more spandex. It is going back.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bebefeedback from Great little work outfit! This dress fits pretty true to size. I am usually a small (4-6) in most stores, but with bebe I try to size up a bit so the outfit is appropriate for work. So I decided to get the Medium--it fits perfectly. The small would fit as well, but I think it would show too many curves for the work environment, so it all depends on where you plan on wearing the dress. The dress also comes below my knees. I am shorter, about 5'4, but the length is also great for work. I would definitely recommend this product, it can be thrown in a suit case, the material is great, and it is a quick dress to throw on for any occasion!

Rated 4 out of 5 by momo from Not thrilled about the quality of the fabric Same story as the striped block knotted dress style 219249. The look is fabulous and very slimming but the fabric is too loose and doesn't hold me in as other similar bebe dresses. It looks like a cheap material I can find at Forever21 or Charlotte Russe. Definitely go down a size or two to achieve an impeccable look. The xs was not flattering on me, I would have not purchased if the strore didn't have a xxs

Evercool Buffalo Review
Have you been looking to upgrade your cooler for your Intel Socket 775 processor or your AM2 processor? Are you looking for the utmost performance? Or maybe you are just looking for an upgrade from the stock cooling solution the manufacture has supplied? Perhaps you have a smaller case or maybe you do not like the idea of having a large paperweight attached to your expensive investment. Whatever your reason for upgrading your current cooling solution, you may want to check out one of the newer coolers that Evercool has recently come up with, the Evercool Buffalo. This cooler is going to be able to cool a wide variety of processors, from your dual core to your quad core processors on one of the most popular socket types (LGA775) that will also be able to work on some of the green sockets as well. I am curious to see exactly what the Buffalo is going to be able to do for me.
Closer Look:
When you take a look at the packaging that Evercool has decided to use for its new Buffalo cooler, you are going to see a very common cardboard box that has quite a bit of color on it to help make the package stand out from others that are out on the market. The front and the back of the package are exactly the same, they both have the Evercool logo printed in the top left hand corner. There is also a large image of the cooler positioned in the center of the package that is aligned towards the right side. Under the image of the Evercool Buffalo cooler, you are going to see the Buffalo logo with the text "Heat Pipe CPU Cooler" printed under it to help describe the cooler itself as well as the quote, "The Buffalo Will Show You Extreme Performance!!", implying that the cooler is going to be able to out-perform much of the competition. The two sides of the package are where you are going to be able to find more information about the cooler, such as the different applications that the Buffalo is going to be able to work on, such as the Intel P4, Pentium D, and Core2 series; the AMD chips that it is going to be able to cool are the Athlon 64, Opteron, Dual core Opterons and Semprons. There is also an installation guide located at the bottom of this side of the packaging, while the top right hand side is where you are going to be able to see what mounting hardware is included, the AMD or the Intel. The next side is where you are going to find all of the specifications and features of the cooler.
When you open up the package, the only two things that you are going to find are going to be the cooler itself that is held in place by two pieces of molded plastic to make sure that it does not bump up against the sides of the package during the shipping process and obtain any sort of damage. There is also a tube of Evercool thermal compound, which is going to help with the installation if you happen to be all out of your T.I.M. of choice.
Now that we know how the Evercool Buffalo CPU cooler is packaged and what comes with it, it's time to see exactly what this cooler is made of.

My four month old is strictly breastfed and has had green, slimy, stinky diarrhea for the past 2 weeks. Sometimes she can have up to 3 bowel movements in an hour. Both my midwife and pediatrician claim that my baby has a stomach infection, and that it can take anywhere from one week to three weeks to run its course. The pediatrician was even able to examine her bowel movement and claimed that the diarrhea is not the result of a allergic reaction to what I am eating. I have been told that as long as my little one is not losing weight and continues to nurse, we just need to ride it out. Thus far she has maintained her weight and aside from the diarrhea has no other symptoms (except of course for a diaper rash which I'm assuming is due to the increase in bowel movements).
I have not come across any literature regarding stomach infections in breastfed babies and was wondering if anyone else out there has experienced something similar.
Thank you for your time.

2012 Tour Stop #22 - The Jack Daniel's World ChampionshipOctober 26, 2012
Christine and I had quite the fiasco at last year's Jack Daniel's World Championship so this year we decided to pare everything down a bit (but don't worry, we still brought our Great American BBQ Tour best!). The drive through the hills and valleys of south-central Tennessee was as beautiful as ever as the trees had just begun turning colors. What a view!
We always have good neighbors at the Jack, and this year we were placed right next to Candy Su Weaver and the big pellet logoed BBQ'rs Delight tent.
While the main event happened on Saturday, Friday was pretty busy with lots of folks visiting the park and getting ready for the parade of teams to head up to the hill!
Usually, Christine and I catch one of the school busses going up the hill to take in some great Southern or Greek cooking, along with a couple of libations, but this year we decided to share Friday evening with friends in the international area. You can usually find a pretty good meal down at the Quau camp, and to no disappointment, Mike & Beth Wozniak hosted a great potluck with food brought over by a number of teams!
It was great to see old friends coming down to Lynchburg, whether for judging, cooking, just visiting with folks or assisting Christine and me with the tour! We were thankful for the help of close friends on one of the busiest days of our season!
Did I tell you that it was cold? It was COLD! Christine doubled up on the "long johns" and was still complaining. Lucky for us, we passed out record numbers of samples of Smithfield® pork, Reser's®, Weber® Sauces and Seasonings and Castle Wood Reserve meats and cheeses so we were able to keep busy enough to forget about being cold during the day.
It was sitting for the awards ceremony that really chilled us to the bone; however, what warmed us up again was watching as the teams stepped forward for their category calls. The Ten Pinos Cooking Team from Texas took the call for Dessert and David Bouska and his Butchers BBQ team from Oklahoma took Sauce. Cooks' Choice was won by our buddy Steve Overlay from Sin City Smokers out of Las Vegas and then of course came four main meat categories! We were super excited for our friends Vince Carrocci and Alexa Fairbairn of Rhythm 'N Que to get the first place Chicken call! The 3 EYZ BBQ Team has not only dominated the KCBS rankings this year but also scored a rare180 with their rib entry at the Jack! Meadow Valley BBQ, another strong Iowa team, won Pork. Canada was represented well in the Brisket category which was won by the Weekend Warrior BBQ team. Barry Johnson of Swiggin Pig received two top ten calls and finished with the Reserve Grand trophy. Scoring over nine points higher than second place, Scott and Katy Nelson of Pigskin BBQ dominated the event with a sixth place Chicken, fifth place Rib, second place Pork and third place Brisket calls... so it's no wonder they walked away as Grand Champions! Iowa teams have made a solid showing in the BBQ circuit this year, capped off by adding Pigskin BBQ to a prestigious list of World Champions!
Congratulations, everyone!

DuPont Pioneer announced today the introduction of 39 new soybean products for the 2013 growing season, the largest single season introduction in the company's history.
The soybeans will carry the next generation T Series soybeans, which "marks a step change over the Y Series soybeans," says Don Schafer, DuPont Pioneer senior marketing manager-soybeans. "The T series products represent the largest number of soybean varieties advanced in a single year by Pioneer."
The AYT process pinpoints native trait genes for increased defensive trait protection and improved pest resistance packages tailored for specific geographies. AYT employs novel trait integration through a proprietary matrix of gene mapping, molecular breeding technologies and intense local field testing. The system is a key part of a comprehensive plan to accelerate yield gain and broaden resistance to key diseases and insects.
The company says 34 of these new varieties will carry the Roundup Ready Gene, two will be new Plenish high oleic varieties, five are new products with the LibertyLink gene and two new varieties will have the the Roundup Ready/STS stack.
Schafer says the new varieties will be available "for virtually every soybean growing area in North America, from early 00 products all the way to Group 5 products."
There will be limited quantities of the T Series available for the 2013 growing season, with up to 30 percent of the company's products to be T Series soybeans in 2014.

Industry Veteran Mark Murai Fills Interim President Post
Strawberry grower Mark Murai will be leading the California Strawberry Commission as its interim president effective immediately.
Murai, a third-generation Orange County farmer, has served on the commission's board of directors for 17 years and led the organization as its chairman of the board from 2002-2004.
Richard Amirsehhi, the commission's chairman of the board, says Murai's knowledge of the industry will make him an excellent interim leader. "Mark's experience and leadership in the industry made him a natural choice for this important role," said Amirsehhi. "With his understanding of the commission's strategic goals, he will be able to support the industry's vision and provide the board with a chance to focus on finding a permanent leader."
Murai began growing strawberries with his family's farms in 1985. Although he began farming sooner than expected (while still studying Agricultural Business Management at Cal Poly, Pomona) he had always known he would spend his days in the strawberry fields, just as his father and grandparents had.
On Murai's wall hangs a picture of his father holding an infant atop a brand new John Deere tractor. "I stare at this picture of my father and me everyday and it always reminds me of the importance of my work and the incredible sacrifices my family made to keep our farm in operation."
Now Murai will be helping the strawberry industry meet its goals. With a background in growing, shipping and processing, he can easily relate to the needs of the state's strawberry businesses. As chairman, he regularly communicated with state, federal and international governments, a skill he will use again as the commission looks toward a concentration on public policy.
"I'm very excited to begin. Because I grew up in the strawberry industry, I have a passion for it, and my involvement with the commission has invigorated my enthusiasm," said Murai. "I look forward to carrying the industry's vision forward."
The California Strawberry Commission supports and represents the California strawberry industry with programs in research, education, marketing and issues management. The commission represents an industry of over 600 growers, shippers and processors.

Jehu Chesson Senior Highlights
I posted this in the Josh Garnett thread below, but figured this probably deserved its own. Here's Jehu Chesson's senior highlight reel (it uses the same crappy DJ Khaled song as his junior tape, so check your speakers):
Quick take: I still have no idea why he isn't a four-star. He isn't too precise on his routes, but other than that, he looks really good, though I realize these are just highlights. His straight-line speed and jump-ball skills are no joke.
H/T to MGoUser Philbert, who made me aware of this video's newfound existence.
