"Does Speed Dating Really Work?
If you are just getting back on the dating scene or if you have never been out of the dating scene, but you are finding it difficult to meet people, then you should definitely give speed dating a try. While it does not give you much time to get to know someone, it does allow you to meet a lot of different people. And, if you like one or more of the people who came to your table, then you can contact them through the people who organized the event. Just keep in mind that you are not likely to find the one on the first go around so you will not be disappointed if it does not happen.
There are some good benefits to speed dating. For instance, you will definitely meet a lot of singles who are looking for romance. If you were to go to a club or a bar, you might meet a couple of singles, but you will not really be able to get to know them. With this type of dating, you will meet quite a few people and you will be able to get to know a little bit about them in the short time that you have together.
As long as you ask the right questions, you could find out everything that you need to know in order to decide if you want to go out with them on an actual date.
Speed dating, however, does have its drawbacks. For instance, some people do not think they allow nearly enough time for you to get to know the other person. Also, if you do find someone you like and they seem to like you, they may meet someone else they like more later on and forget all about you. We've all seen episodes of television shows where the main character goes to one of these dating events and loses out on a great person because someone else better came along later on in the dating event. So, keep those things in mind if you are going to try this method of dating.
As long as you go in with an open mind and with hardly any expectations, you are sure to have fun while speed dating. If a match happens while you are there, great. If it does not happen, then that is okay as well. As long as you do not set yourself up for disappointment by expecting too much from the experience, you will be just fine.

2014 • Senior Season
Emily Wong cemented her position as one of the nation's top all-around student athletes in the country. She recorded one of the best senior seasons by a Nebraska gymnast in school history. Through the regular-season, Wong captured 32 event titles, remained undefeated in the all-around and posted some of the top scores in the country. Her momentum inspired the entire Nebraska gymnastics team to one of the best starts to a season since 1997 by going 5-0.
Wong took home three All-America honors at the 2014 NCAA Championships to give her 11 total honors to tie with Emily Parsons and Heather Brink for the most in school history. In semifinals, Wong put up a 39.525 all-around score to finish fifth overall. On floor, Wong performed her famous routine one last time at the event finals notching a 9.90 mark and finished in ninth, while also adding a 14 place finish on beam.
At the conference level she earned Big Ten Gymnast of the Week five times and at the Big Ten Championships where she collected two career-high scores on beam (9.95) and floor posting a perfect 10.00. Wong is only the second Husker gymnast to record a 10.00 on the event behind Richelle Simpson. She was awarded Big Ten Gymnast of the Year after the meet for her efforts during the season. She took home her 10th all-around crown at the 2014 NCAA Seattle Regional by delivering a notable performance. She tallied a career-high 9.95 on bars and 9.90 on floor to notch both event titles en-route to the all-around crown (39.625).
Wong continued to stockpile honors both in the gym and the classroom in 2014, as she was selected as Nebraska's Female Student-Athlete of the Year and a Honda Award Finalist. Wong became the second Nebraska gymnast presented with the AAI American Award, an honor annually given to the nation's top gymnast on the basis of athleticism, academic excellence and civic responsibility. Wong was also awarded the Big Ten Medal of honor and Big Ten Wayne Duke Postgraduate Scholarship. In July, Wong added her second CoSIDA Academic All-America honor being named to the first-team.
She closed out her Husker career as an 11-time All-American with 77 event titles, holds the Nebraska floor record with Richelle Simpson and captured the highest award given to a gymnast in the AAI Award.
2013 • Junior Season
An eight-time All-American in competition and a CoSIDA Academic All-American in the classroom, Emily Wong cemented her position as one of the nation's top all-around student-athletes in 2013.
A four-time All-American as a junior, Wong tied for third nationally in the all-around at the 2013 NCAA Championships with a score of 39.525. Her outstanding performance at the national championships included first-team All-America accolades on vault, floor and in the all-around and second-team laurels on beam. Her work on vault and floor earned her two spots in the NCAA event finals, where she finished third on floor (9.9125) and 10th on vault (9.8833).
Wong's eight career All-America awards ranks fourth all-time at Nebraska. Her four awards at the 2013 championship meet were the most in a single season for any Husker since Emily Parsons captured four honors in 2005.
Wong snagged a total of 24 titles in 2013, including seven in the all-around. Her regular season efforts resulted in two Big Ten Gymnast or Co-Gymnast of the Week honors alongside first-team All-Big Ten accolades. She also captured NACGC/W first-team All-America laurels on bars, beam, floor and in the all-around.
Wong saved her finest performance of the season for the Big Ten Championships, winning the all-around for the second consecutive year with a career-high 39.725. She became the first Big Ten gymnast to win back-to-back conference all-around titles since Penn State's Brandi Personett (2007-08). Wong was also the conference champion or co-champion on floor, beam and bars and earned four All-Big Ten Championship Team awards. In just two seasons, Wong now owns seven Big Ten titles and eight championship team honors.
She followed by finishing second in the all-around at the NCAA Morgantown Regional with a 39.225, including a meet-best and career-high 9.95 on vault. Her performance enabled her to qualify for the NCAA Championships as an individual in all-around competition.
In the classroom, Wong captured second-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, while claiming academic All-Big Ten accolades as a junior.
2012 • Sophomore Season
Wong put together another stellar season in her sophomore campaign at Nebraska, capturing first-team All-America honors on beam and adding second-team accolades on floor and in all-around competition at the NCAA Championships in Duluth, Ga. Wong also qualified for the beam finals at the NCAA Championships, posting a score of 9.825 to finish tenth.
Wong saved one of her finest performances of the year for the conference championship, winning titles on beam (9.900) and floor (9.900) and earning Nebraska's first Big Ten Championship individual all-around title (39.600). She was an All-Big Ten championship team selection on vault, beam, floor and all-around, adding to her first team All-Big Ten honors and Academic All-Big Ten honors.
Wong competed in the all-around 12 times throughout the 2012 season, earning two individual all-around titles while tacking on an additional five titles on beam, three on floor and one each on bars and vault. Her top all-around performance of the year came against top-ranked Florida on March 4, where the Grand Forks, N.D. native posted a score of 39.750 to win the all-around title.
2011 • Freshman Season
Emily Wong capped an impressive freshman season by claiming first-team All-America honors on bars at the 2011 NCAA Championships. Wong's score of 9.875 in the semifinals helped the Huskers advance to the NCAA Super Six Team Finals. NU took fourth at the Super Six, thanks in part to Wong's 9.90 on bars. She added an 11th-place finish at the Event Finals with an average of 9.8125.
Wong notched four event titles on the season, including three on bars and one on beam. She posted a 9.90 on beam at the Big 12 Championships, tying for third and earning All-Big 12 Championship Team honors. She tallied career highs of 9.90 on bars, 9.90 on beam and 9.875 on floor as a freshman.
Wong was also named to the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll during the fall and spring semesters.
Before Nebraska
Wong competed for coaches James and JJ Bayer at Red River Valley Gymnastics in Grand Forks, N.D. She was the North Dakota state all-around champion in 2008 and 2009, in addition to being the North Dakota vault, bars, beam and floor champion in 2009. She placed fifth in the all-around, fourth on bars and third on beam at the 2009 regionals. Wong garnered a 10th-place finish on beam and came in 16th in the all-around at the 2009 Junior Olympic National Championships.
A 2010 graduate of Red River High School, she was a member of the National Honor Society, the National Technical Honor Society and the Honor Roll. She chose Nebraska over Iowa State, Southern Utah and Southeast Missouri State.
Emily Wong was born on Aug. 7, 1992 in Grand Forks, N.D. She is the daughter of John and Karen Wong and has two sisters, Melissa and Lindsey, and one brother, Michael. Emily is a nutrition science major and earned second-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors in 2013. A three-time Big Ten Distinguished Scholar and academic All-Big Ten choice (2012, 2013, 2014), Wong has earned eight spots on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll. She was also a two-time Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll selection in 2010-11.

Reading the news can get exhausting and depressing, so feel no shame in taking a break to watch this elderly otter show off his adorable basketball skills.
Vets discovered that Eddie, a 15-year-old (!) otter at the Oregon Zoo, had arthritis in his tiny elbows. To work those joints and alleviate the pain, his handlers taught him how leap up and dunk a small ball through a wall-mounted Portland Trailblazers hoop. Shoot the J, little guy!
And because one otter is never enough, check out the gallery below for more furry otters. There, I bet you're feeling better already.

I remember this little friend very well. And pepper - who ate pepper? It just made me sneeze! Mother kept the salt she used for cooking in a little green can (kind of tall and skinny). That tin was in very good shape until one time when Wasdens were visiting and I think we had made popcorn and for some reason the tin was sitting on the floor. Doug accidentally stepped on the tin and felt ever so bad. Mother just reshaped it back to its original shape (close, that is) and it was used for years.

0h, yes. I had forgotten what the design was on the shaker. So Mother was the one who bought it? I do remember Daddy trying to get more salt out of the little blue one. Mother didn't cook with pepper did she? I had forgotten about the salt can, did someone end up with it? Isn't it neat how even the littlest things bring back the best of memories/

Louise, how good to have you chime in! You are right, it is wonderful how the most common items bring the greatest connection to our home thoughts and feelings.
So why was the innocent salt shaker so important? And the green can, now there's one for you!
Does this have something to do with being the "salt" of the earth?

And we certainly don't want to lose the savor, right?

Amen, "Sisterns" How clever of you to put that all into perspective, it does kind of reflect on our lives. And all of thie bit of insight from a humble salt shaker.

NI Open Challenge returns to Northern Ireland
March 5th, 2013
For the first time in ten years, The European Challenge Tour will return to Nothern Irish shores when Galgrom Castle Golf Club, Ballymena hosts the Northern Ireland Open Challenge from 29 August – 01 September 2013. The NI Open Challenge will be raising funds for the George Best Foundation. See below for full details:
The General Manager of the Galgorm Castle, said:
"We are expecting big crowds at Galgorm Castle to see some of Europe's top young players and some of the more established names as well as some top quality home grown talent.
"The excitement is already building ahead of the tournament and, with the support of the people of Northern Ireland, we plan to make this one of the most exhilarating events on the Challenge Tour's international schedule."
The €170,000 Northern Ireland Open Challenge presents an opportunity for the next generation to follow in the footsteps of those superstars and begin their path to The European Tour.
It is the first time Galgorm Castle, one of the country's premier parkland courses set in the spectacular surrounds of an historical estate, will host a Challenge Tour event.
Alain de Soultrait, Director of the Challenge Tour, said:
"We are delighted to bring the Challenge Tour back to Northern Ireland, a country which has experienced such great success on the world golfing stage recently and which produced record crowds at last year's Irish Open.
"Galgorm Castle provides a superb venue which is fitting of a tournament of this stature and we are sure that in the coming years this will grow to become one of the premier events on the Challenge Tour schedule, creating more and more opportunities for talented young golfers throughout Ireland.
"We must thank everyone at Galgorm Castle for their commitment, enthusiasm and determination in making this tournament happen."
Michael Hoey, a four-time winner on The European Tour, will headline the field at the Ballymena venue, hoping to add to his trophy haul, having also won three times on the Challenge Tour.
Hoey has since played a part in Northern Ireland's incredible story in world golf alongside current World Number One Rory McIlroy, 2011 Open Champion Darren Clarke and 2010 US Open Champion Graeme McDowell, while the staging of the Irish Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club in 2012 proved an unprecedented success.
Hoey's biggest win came at the 2011 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, he said:
"I am deeply honoured to be the ambassador for the new Challenge Tour event at Galgorm Castle.
"The Challenge Tour was a hugely important part of my early career and has helped me develop into the player I am today. By hosting an event in Northern Ireland, Galgorm Castle Golf Club is contributing to the development of the next generation of Irish golfers and I am delighted to be able to play a part in the tournament."
Hoey claimed a top 15 finish the last time Northern Ireland hosted a Challenge Tour event in 2003, when Clarke emerged victorious three weeks after his famous victory at the WGC – Bridgestone Invitational, while another Open Champion – the winner at St Andrews in 2010, Louis Oosthuizen – finished tied 12th.

The Cost of Dropping Out
Millions Struggle With High College Debt and No Degree
The rising cost of a college education is hitting one group especially hard: the millions of students who drop out without earning a degree.
A bachelor's degree remains by far the clearest path to the American middle class. Even today, amid mounting concerns about the rising cost of higher education and questions about the relevance of many college degrees, recent graduates have lower rates of unemployment, higher earnings and better career prospects than their less educated peers....

Automatic Contacting Extensometry
The need for increased specimen throughput has created a demand for faster, more reliable, and more consistent materials testing equipment. Automatic contacting extensometers provide this capability by eliminating manual operator steps which can add time and introduce operator influence.
Automatic contacting extensometry offers many benefits over traditional clip-on extensometers including:
Automatic contacting extensometry offers many benefits over traditional clip-on extensometers including:
- Consistent results regardless of operator due to automatic attachment and gauge length measurement
- More accurate results because the counterbalanced arms are virtually weightless and don't bend the specimen
- More efficient testing because operators no longer manually attach and remove extensometers
- Measure strain through failure on materials ranging from composites to elastomers
- Increased uptime because it uses an optical measurement system which is resistant to damage
Application Range
- Measure strain properties of almost any material, including plastics, metals, composites, textiles, films, elastomers, paper, components, and bio-materials
- Metals tests including ASTM E8, ISO 6892, ASTM E517, and JIS Z2254
- Plastics tests including ASTM D638, ISO 527-2, ASTM D882, and ISO 527-3
- Composites tests including ASTM D3039 and ISO 527-4
- Elastomer tests including ASTM D412 and ISO 37
- Type of loading: tensile, flexure, compression

On this day – criminal justice spending comes under scrutiny as the state attempts to close its massive budget shortfall; parents speak out against massive cuts to education spending; the fight over the Bexar County Democratic Party reached a new level; questions are raised about the SBOE redistricting proposal and congratulations to Jason Embry and Jay Root for their wins at TXAPME.
***Prison Board Hesitant
The Dallas Morning News' Diane Jennings reports that the Prison Board is hesitant to release prison inmates that are terminally ill or incapacitated prisoners, even though such a move could save upwards of $76 million. (Subscription required to read the full story)
***Time for Death Penalty Moratorium?
The Dallas Morning News editorial board endorsed a package of criminal justice reforms designed to reduce the rate of wrongful convictions in the Texas criminal justice system. The Morning News also spoke out in favor of a moratorium on the death penalty so it can be examined to determine whether or not it's being properly utilized.
***Parents Demand School Funding Fix
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that parents and teachers who attended a town hall meeting held by Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, spoke out against the massive proposed cuts to education spending as the state attempts to close its yawning budget shortfall. They also demanded that the legislature attempt to find a permanent fix to the school finance conundrum that has plagued the legislature for decades.
***Massive Cuts Proposed to HIV Medication Program
The Houston Chronicle's Patti Hart reports that lawmakers have opted not to provide additional funding to the state's HIV medication program in their various budget proposals. The increase in funding is necessary because of growing caseload growth.
By not responding to the extra need, state lawmakers were deciding "who lives and who dies," said State Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo.
Zaffirini said Friday she would continue to fight for funding.
The Texas Legislature has been struggling to write a new budget with an estimated $15 billion to $27 billion shortfall, with the larger number reflecting the amount necessary to continue services as their current level for a growing population.
State Rep. John Zerwas, R-Richmond, said he considered the program highly valuable and cost-effective, and that locating cuts has been difficult.
"It gets down to the point where we just don't have enough money," he said. "We don't have enough money to take care of everyone."
***Bexar County Blowup
The already tense battle between Democratic Party activists/Democratic Party leadership and the embattled chairman of the Bexar County Democratic party amped up even more this weekend. A letter posted to the county party's website, which was signed by a variety of who's who in statewide and county Democratic politics, called on Dan Ramos to resign. The Express-News' John Gonzales reports the party's executive committee will meet April 5 to consider censuring Ramos, which is the strongest action they can take.
***Concerns About SBOE Redistricting
The Houston Chronicle/San Antonio Express-News' Austin Bureau reporter Gary Scharrer reports that Hispanic groups have raised concerns about a proposed redistricting plan for the always-controversial State Board of Education. They believe the proposed plan would dilute Hispanic representation on the board even though Hispanics accounted for vast majority of Texas' population growth over the last decade.
***Awards Season
The Texas Associated Press' Managing Editors gathered in Tyler for their convention and announced a parade of awards for the state's newspapers.
The Morning News was named best newspaper and the Star-Telegram was recognized for its excellent website and web presence. In the capitol press corps, honors went to Jason Embry for his 'First Reading' blog, Mike Ward for his coverage of criminal justice and Jay Root, who was named Texas' best AP reporter. The Daily Texan, which holds a special place in my heart in large part due to all the hours I've spent in the basement, was named best college newspaper in the state.

2019 Mary's Walk & Kerrymen 5K

BLACKSBURG, Va. – The Yale men's team battled through the first round of the NCAA Virginia Tech Regional to finish Thursday in 13th place, a result that testified to the difficulty of Pete Dye-designed River Course in Blacksburg, Va..
Georgia Tech leads the field with an overall team score of 289 (+1); the Elis notched up an overall team score of 313 (+25), achieving a first round placing equal to their initial seeding for the competition, which they automatically qualified for after clinching the Ivy League Championship last month.
Still, the Bulldogs were not without some strong individual performances. The perennial performer, senior captain Thomas McCarthy, led the way with a first round 75 (+3), which put him in contention at a tie for 27th at the end of Thursday.
Close behind was sophomore Bradley Kushner, who built on his first-team All-Ivy performance last month on Thursday to shoot 76 (+4), a score worth a tie for 36th place. Freshman Sam Bernstein, meanwhile, also showed glimpses of the skill that won him the Ivy League's Rookie of the Year Award, firing a 79 (+7) to end the day in a tie for 59th place.
It was a tough day out on the links, however, for junior Jeffrey Hatten, who was recently elected as the Bulldogs' captain for next year, and senior Michael Fader. Hatten finished at 83 (+11) while Fader ended play at 89 (+17) – both have the potential to improve and will look to move up the leaderboard in the next two day's play.
Competition will continue Friday morning, with the first tee times slated for 8 a.m.
Report filed by James Lu '14, Yale Sports Publicity.

My guild has had a bit of a setback. Maybe I'm opening myself to abuse here, but we've found ourselves wiping on Magmaw quite a lot. Not even on heroic mode. I mean Normal-mode, 10-man Magmaw.
I know that its a fight that its easy to screw up. It only takes one person standing in the wrong place to wipe the raid.
Whenever a raid wipes, the first thing every raider should do is ask himself what he could have done better. Reflect on how you could have positioned yourself better, or how you could have maximized your throughput better, or how you could have used cooldowns better. We all try to analyze how we contributed to the wipe. Here's what is frustrating for me about Magmaw… and its not something I ever said during the raid.
Its an easy fight for melee dps, so the wipes are never my fault.
There – I admitted it, and I sound like a jerk. I don't want that statement to come off as me claiming that I am better than the other players. Quite the contrary. I feel like that fight is unusually demanding on ranged players and especially on healers while being exceptionally easy on melee dps.
All I have to do as melee dps is an uninterrupted rotation, then jump on his back and chain him, then dps the head. Repeat. Its almost impossible for me to make a mistake. In fact, I would go out on a limb and say that there was nothing I could have done better on any of our attempts that would have improved the outcome.
So when we wipe once or twice, I shrug it off as "it happens". When we wipe 5-6 times I start to get frustrated. Its annoying because those wipes are not of my doing. There is no way I could have done anything to improve my performance or prevent the wipe. After the wipe, I try not to say anything in chat or in vent because I don't want them to think I am being critical, when their role is harder then mine.
I much prefer a fight where my role is as demanding as everyone else's. Then I can share in the difficulties and also in the triumphs. Then I can use my skill to have a real effect on the outcome. I hate it when an entire fight hinges on one person or on a single moment of error.
I'd be happy if I never saw Magmaw again. Its an easy fight for me, but I dislike the fact that it gets me frustrated with my guild, which I love dearly.

nominolo's Blog
Friday, October 06, 2006
Everything has a beginning and an ending. So, this is the beginning of my humble blog--let's hope it's not going to see its end soon. This blog will (presumably) be about programming languages, compilers, concurrency, maybe a bit about a human-computer-interaction, and about some general life-related stuff. With time I'll also try to adopt to some
blog usability...

"I'm trying to give homage to Bob Fosse because he created a style," said Sally Ashton Forrest, resident choreographer at The Company Theatre, which is staging "Chicago" April 5-28. "To even attempt to create what he did is very exciting."
Over two decades as a choreographer, Sally Ashton Forrest has created dances for dozens of musicals. But Bob Fosse, whose choreography defines the musical "Chicago," is among her favorite. "I'm trying to give homage to Bob Fosse because he created a style," said Forrest, resident choreographer at The Company Theatre, which is staging "Chicago" April 5-28. "To even attempt to create what he did is very exciting."
But Forrest also loves the work of Rob Marshall, who choreographed the film version of "Chicago."
"I'm trying to get bits and pieces of both styles to make the show fresher," said Forrest, 48, of Weymouth. "The movie made it possible to break from the traditional Bob Fosse and have a little more freedom."
Forrest continues the precise, stylized, sultry, smooth and seductive Fosse style. But she leaves her mark by adding more tango in the song "Cell Block Tango" to heighten the tension and animosity; more spinning and jumping in "Razzle Dazzle" to convey the craziness of the courtroom scene; and more moves from the Charleston and other dances of the 1920s to evoke the Prohibition era of the story.
She leaves untouched "Hot Honey Rag," a dance by former prisoners Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart at the end of the show, when they are free and preparing an act together.
"To me, it's iconic so I had to create it just the way it was," she said. "Whenever I see "Chicago," I am waiting for that number."
Set in the Prohibition era, "Chicago" satirizes judicial corruption and celebrity criminals. It's the story of Roxie Hart, an unfaithful married nightclub dancer who murders her lover, a tale based on Chicago murder trials in the 1920s. Roxie gets acquitted and becomes a celebrity after a slick defense lawyer wows the jury and press.
The show's enduring popularity – and multiple Tony Awards – stems not just from the Fosse dances, but the music and lyrics of John Kander and Fred Ebb. Regularly performed in Greater Boston, "Chicago" is always timely, because it reflects an unchanging aspect of human nature.
"People spin their stories for their own betterment and find fame for their crimes through the press," Forrest said.
In creating dances, Forrest starts by thinking about the intention of the song and watching interpretations by other choreographers. From that, she works out her ideas and then tries them out with the dancers.
"That's where you change things, because either it doesn't look like what you thought it would or it sparks another idea," she said.
A fourth degree black belt instructor, she finds those skills helpful for stage combat as well as complicated staging involving many people.
"The structure and discipline of it helps me organize people fast and move large numbers of people across the stage," she said.
From her days as a student at Notre Dame Academy and then Emerson College, Forrest dreamed of Broadway, but ultimately her strong connection to The Company Theatre kept her on the South Shore. She first performed with the theatre in 1980 at age 15 and became the company's choreographer in 1992.
"I said in high school that I just wanted to wake up in the morning and do theatre all day," Forrest said. "When I'm exhausted, I remind myself that I got my wish."
"Chicago" runs April 5-28 at The Company Theatre, Accord Park, Norwell. Tickets are $36. For information, go to www.companytheatre.com.

What Kevin Spacey did is inexcusable and he's rightfully having his career ruined because of it. Meanwhile, Moore is about to be elected to the Senate because the same people that throw out Kevin Spacey as everything that's wrong with the liberal elite will turn a blind eye to Moore because he has an R next to his name on the ballot.
It just sickens me that guys like that are given a free pass.
It's something about Politics in general. People defend Bill Clinton, H.W., Trump, etc. As long as it fits in their Political beliefs, it doesn't matter.

Herbicides are an exceptional tool for farmers when used correctly, but like any tool, they can't work if they're not used properly. Here are 10 common mistakes that farmers make when using herbicides.
1. Herbicide applied when weeds are too big
This is the most common mistake when applying herbicides. Herbicide labels state a range of weed sizes for which the herbicide will be effective and the recommended rates. If you apply postemergence herbicides to weeds that are bigger than what the label states, expect less than complete control.
2. Rate of herbicide application is too high
In general, the ability to kill weeds or prevent weeds from growing while not damaging desired crops involves the ability of the crop to metabolize or detoxify the herbicide. Under certain conditions, such as overlaps or applications of very high rates, the crop's ability to metabolize or detoxify the herbicide may be overwhelmed. Crop injury often occurs in this situation.
3. Herbicide carryover
Many herbicides are broken down by microbial action. Anything that affects that activity will slow the breakdown of the herbicide and can lead to carryover and potential injury to subsequent crops if they are sensitive to that herbicide. Drought, low pH, soils with low microbial activity to begin with, and other factors that reduce microbial activity will increase the risk of carryover.
4. Effectiveness is lost
A herbicide also can have reduced longevity due to increased microbial activity in the soil. Wet, warm soils and leaching rains for extended periods can lead to premature loss of residual activity in herbicides.
5. Rate of application is too low
Many control problems are due to applying herbicide at a rate that is not high enough. It is important to read the label for soil restrictions and soil recommendations with residual herbicides.
6. No water to activate
A herbicide that requires water to activate will not work if there is no rainfall or irrigation.
7. Weeds are stressed
Postemergence herbicides work poorly on weeds that are stressed or are not growing normally. Why? These weeds have partially shut down certain physiological activities so the herbicides may not be taken up or moved to sites of action in the stressed plants.
8. Improper adjuvant used
Use of proper adjuvants is critical for many postemergence herbicides. Surfactants, oils, and other additives may be necessary for them to work effectively.
9. Application equipment mistakes
Misapplication or misuse such as improper cleaning of sprayer tanks and lines, using products not labeled for a crop, mixing up herbicides when filling tanks, spraying when conditions are poor, and excessive overlapping are just some of the reasons why a herbicide won't work as intended.
10. Poor crop growth
Weed control in a crop is often dependent on both the activity of the herbicide and the development of a crop canopy to shade any weeds that might germinate later. Anything that affects the development of a crop canopy can reduce weed control.

Virtuata and vCider: Next Steps to Building a World of Many Clouds
One of the things that has always been clear to us is that a pragmatic cloud and virtualization solution is going to need to embrace diversity. There were going to be many paths to cloud and customers would want the freedom to choose to host workloads on physical infrastructure, any of the hypervisors available or one of the emerging number of cloud options. This realization has been one of the factors that has shaped our strategy for delivering practical solutions for virtualization and cloud to the market.
Cloud Networking: Multi-Hypervior and Multi-Service
Initially, we focused on physical/virtual consistency and separation of duties. We kicked this effort off with the Nexus 1000V, which was a fully functioning NX-OS switch rendered fully in software. With L2 handled, we moved on to deploy virtual services consistent with this physical counterparts like the ASA 1000V, the Virtual Security Gateway (VSG) and vWAAS. Finally, we fleshed out the networking stack with the Cloud Services Router (CRS 1000V).
The network has always been a platform for enabling heterogeneous OS and heterogeneous applications to connect. Naturally, the next step was to take the capabilities we had built and extend them across multiple hypervisors so we could now deliver a consistent experience for customers with heterogeneous hypervisor environments. We built on our success with over 6,000 enterprise and service provider VMware vSphere customers and are now extending those came capabilities to Microsoft Hyper-V environments as well for Xen and KVM open source hypervisors. With the recently announced shift to a "freemium" pricing model, with the Nexus 1000V-Essential Edition, customers are gaining these benefits with minimal cost and risk.
vCider and Virtuata: Opportunity for Secure Multi-cloud Networking
However, some of the most interesting progress has come from our two of our more recent acquisitions that have been centered on the concept of providing better operations and management of multi-cloud environments. As customers more broadly adopt cloud and virtualization, security and isolation at the VM level become of paramount importance. To address this need we acquired Virtuata this summer. The Virtuata technology will give us (okay, you) the ability to have sophisticated and consistent security for VMs across multi-hypervisor and multi-cloud environments.
More recently, we announce the acquisition of vCider. While much of the direct impact of the acquisition will be focused on enhancing our OpenStack capabilities—enhancing the capabilities of the Quantum API and strengthening the overall OpenStack offering—the people and the technology gained through the acquisition will have broader impact across our virtualization and cloud efforts:
- Network Overlays: vCider's expertise will strengthen capabilities for Cisco's network overlay technologies like VXLAN and LISP, especially in the areas of provisioning and automation via Openstack Quantum
- Multi-Cloud Automation: drawing on vCider's technologies and experiences to create standards-based inter-cloud automation; for example, gaining insight into operational best practices vCider team developed while running their multi-cloud service. As an aside, we as an industry need to drive standards-based orchestration/automation for hybrid cloud and inter-cloud networks (and compute and storage) leveraging Openstack – to eliminate rise of proprietary solutions.
- OpenStack/Quantum API and Nexus 1000V: vCider team's technology and expertise in provisioning and automation will be leveraged to further enhance Quantum plug-in development for Nexus 1000V
- Cisco Controller Software: vCider's overlay-centric placement technology and best practices will help enhance the capabilities of our software controller
Customer Benefits
The net result of our efforts to date is to give our customers the ability to build and effectively operate multi-hypervisor, multi-service, multi-cloud environment. Service providers to move beyond simple compute and offer innovative and sophisticated services to their customers. Meanwhile, enterprises get a consistent no-compromises environment for their applications regardless of where they run—first-class treatment across physical, virtual, public/private cloud and multi-cloud.

Wednesday, July 6
Happy Wednesday, TexMessagers. Get ready for a hot week both in Houston and D.C. Temperatures are suppose to break 100 almost every day this week. The heat's on Roger Clemens, too.

Another summer. Another oil spill.
Congress has done zippo since last year's Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. There's no reason to think that the soiling of the scenic Yellowstone River will bring about any change.
Still, a leading congressional Democrat is calling for an investigation into the leak in an Exxon Mobil Corp. pipeline that has released up to 1,000 barrels of oil into the Yellowstone River.
Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, insisted on the probe today, amid mounting evidence that the spilled oil has reached well beyond the 10-mile stretch of the Yellowstone that Exxon Mobil originally said had been fouled.
Congressional concerns about pipeline safety issues had already been piqued by several recent high-profile accidents, including the lethal explosion of a Pacific Gas & Electric Co. natural gas line in San Bruno, Calif., last September. Last July, 900,000 gallons of oil spilled into the Kalamazoo River from an Enbridge Energy pipeline. And in January, the 800-mile-long Trans Alaska Pipeline was closed briefly so that workers could repair a leak at a pumping station near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.

In response to our post, "Religious Right leaders press Rick Perry to enter presidential race," commentator OldDispatcher said:
"By endorsing Perry the RR helps to make Bachmann look like less of a religious loon.
Still, these are the guys that endorsed Huckabee last time around. That worked out well for Huck, don't 'cha think?
This will be a big boost for Bachmann since it seemed she was in line for this honor."

Remote control station for surface drilling safety
Atlas Copco's BenchREMOTE on show at Bauma 2016
May 11, 2015
Miners in Sweden have put an upgraded version of the GET (Ground Engaging Tools) system, designed for Scooptram loaders, through rigorous testing – and the results are in. Thanks to a more resistant steel composition, the system's service life has been extended by 30–40%.
A new upgrade to the GET system for underground loaders from Atlas Copco has been scooping up praise in Sweden following a recent field test. The GET bucket was tested for a period of 18 months at the Lovisa Mine, a zinc and lead operation in the mineral-rich Bergslagen region.
Johannes Turesson, Product Manager Parts & Kits, Atlas Copco, explains that it was the ideal testing ground due to the narrow 3.5 m wide drifts and steep, winding ramps with tight cornering. The big advantage of GET is that removable wear parts bolted onto the lip of the bucket can be easily replaced when worn.
"During the trial we confirmed all of our objectives with this new GET system. These include improved penetration of the muck pile, extended service life, easy maintenance, reduced downtime and total cost of ownership."
Loader buckets must be able to withstand heavy punishment during mucking out operations. Following extensive research, an upgraded, more robust steel composition has resulted in reduced wear and tear and 30–40% longer service life. The wear pattern is also more even than before. When servicing the new GET system, replacing parts, such as corner shrouds, can now be done in a fraction of the time compared with the welded wear parts of conventional buckets. Reduced downtime and cost saving were also achieved during the test.
GET gives better penetration meaning that less force is needed when attacking the muck pile. This cuts energy consumption, reduces wear on tires and improves the working environment. The GET bucket can be matched with Scooptram ST7 and Scooptram ST1030 loaders and will be successively available to all Scooptram models during 2016.

The Great Performance Series of Hope College will feature the Chicago Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble (CALJE) on Thursday, Oct. 24, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.
The 10-piece CALJE is regarded as a new and innovative force on the Latin Jazz scene. With a global sound and ensemble, the band represents Afro-Cuban Jazz, as well as music from all of Latin America.
The group incorporates traditional Cuban rhythms such as son, guaguanco, and clave negra with modern jazz harmony. Through this fusion concept, the band has explored writing new music based on Argentinian Tango, Dominican Merengue, Puerto Rican "Bomba y Plena," Spanish Flamenco, and Jamaican Reggae.
"This band, playing before a standing-room only crowd at this international music venue, left everyone gasping and wanting more sounds after their near two hour, flawless set," said "Jazz Chicago" of a recent performance.
CALJE was founded in 2006 by Nicaraguan pianist/composer Darwin Noguera and Mexican trumpeter/composer Victor Garcia, who primarily write the group's music. The two long-time musical collaborators envisioned an endeavor in Latin music that would follow in the innovative footsteps of the pioneering Cuban groups Chucho Valdes' Irakere, Mario Bauza & His Afro-Cubans, & the Dizzy Gillespie United Nations Orchestra.
CALJE made its debut by kicking off the "Jazz en Clave" Latin Jazz Festival at the famed Hothouse, alongside international artists such as multi-Grammy winning artist Eddie Palmieri & Dafnis Prieto's Quintet. Musicians in the band have had the opportunity to share the stage with powerhouse artists such as Tito Puente, Danilo Perez, Paquito D'Rivera, Celia Cruz, Chick Corea and many others.
Tickets are $18 for regular admission, $13 for senior citizens, and $6 for children 18 and under. Tickets are available at the ticket offices in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse (222 Fairbanks Ave.) and the Events and Conferences Office located downtown in the Anderson-Werkman Financial Center (100 E. Eighth St.). Both offices are open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be called at (616) 395-7890.
Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave., on College Avenue at 12th Street.
