Irrigating Stone Fruit
for Irrigating
Stone Fruit
Stone fruits have unique sensitivities and requirements compared to other tree crops. A highly uniform irrigation system made of rugged materials is a necessity in this environment. Nelson Rotators®, including the R5 and R10, are proven to provide excellent performance in stone fruit orchards for many years.
Nelson Rotators and Feedtube products are the products of choice on many farms due to their rugged reliability, ease of use, and excellent water uniformity. At pressures and GPM-per-acre flow rates that are often associated with drip irrigation systems, the R5 Rotator provides full or close-to-full coverage for precise moisture management that drip just cannot provide. Nelson Rotators and Feedtube Assemblies provide you with a wide selection of options that will satisfy your specific situation.

Côte d'Ivoire: Situation gradually improves, challenges remain
TitleCôte d'Ivoire: Situation gradually improves, challenges remain
The global security situation in Côte d'Ivoire is gradually improving despite persistent pockets of instability due to the presence of militia in the regions of Montagnes and Moyen Cavally as well as in Abidjan. Following the call of the President for the laying down weapons by militia, fighting occurred on 27 April between the army and militia in the Abidjan neighbourhood of Abobo. A leading militia commander, Ibrahima Coulibaly, died during the combat.
On 28 April, the payment of the salaries of civil servants resumed in Abidjan, following the reopening of banks on 26 April 2011. Payments will be made gradually in other parts of the country in the next few days according to the authorities. This will strengthen workers' purchasing power and facilitate access to essential commodities.
Sporadic movement of Ivorian refugees back from Liberia is ongoing. The perception of improved conditions in the west is resulting in the gradual return of Ivorian refugees. This will increase, to some extent, the current IDP caseload estimated at 150,000 persons since refugees may not immediately return to their place of origin.
In the light of the overcrowding at the Catholic Mission in Duékoué, presently home to around 25,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs), on a four-hectare piece of land, which is just over 1,5 square meters per person, work on improving living conditions will commence within 2-3 days. The mission's pastor has offered a plot of land nearby to temporarily reduce the human concentration at the site. Other land may soon be available enabling the relocation of IDPs to a site that complies more fully with agreed standards
A recent report issued by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) decries the alarming increase in the number of women and girls being sexually assaulted, beaten and harassed by armed men either in their homes or as they flee to safety. This situation in the west, which IRC states is under reported, emphasises once more the need to enhance the protection of the civilian population.

The Economy vs. Immigration: What Will Unlock the Latino Vote in 2012? (Part 02)
Latino voters are expected to play a pivotal role in the U.S. presidential election, especially in several key battleground states. Join us for a town hall event that brings together journalists, pollsters, and policy experts to explore the complex relationship between the Latino electorate and the candidates. Will economic concerns such as unemployment and housing foreclosures guide Latinos at the voting booth? Will the candidates' immigration policies dominate? Or will large numbers of Latinos simply sit out this election? Understanding the political cross-currents buffeting Latinos today will provide valuable insight on the probable outcome of the election, as well as political and policy implications for the nation over the next four years.

It'll cost anywhere from $200 to $6,000 to hire a painter. Expect small jobs, like kitchen cabinets or trim, to run $200 to $2,000. Larger projects, like your home's exterior, range from $1,000 to $6,000. … To estimate your needs, figure paying $2 to $6 per square foot or $20 to $50 per hour.
For the average room and average painter, it might take about 45 minutes to an hour to paint the walls and ceilings with the initial coat, and maybe half that time to apply the second one. Professional painters can usually do this even quicker.
The average cost to paint a house interior is $1 to $3 per square foot of floor space. The cost to paint the interior of a 1,500 sq ft home is $1,500 to $2,400.
Yes! For exterior painting, we usually power-wash the surface, or sometimes hand-scrub, to make sure it is free of surface contaminants. … Washing a wall before painting it will make sure the paint can adhere properly. It will also remove dirt or other materials that may show through the paint.
Priming is best. If you have to do two coats of paint to cover the old color, why not use a good primer or primer/sealer and one coat of a good paint? Most people will say otherwise, but primer will stick to old paint a lot better than new paint will. … Use one coat of primer and one coat of paint.
The average cost to paint the interior of a house falls between $1.50 and $3.50 per square foot. If you're doing the ceilings, walls and trim, the cost per square foot will likely fall between $3 and $4. If there is damage to the walls that needs to be repaired before painting can proceed, you'll pay extra.

For Release:
Tom Lansworth
BATON ROUGE, LA—Hundreds of Filipino guestworkers lured to teach in Louisiana public schools were cheated out of tens of thousands of dollars and forced into exploitative contracts by an international trafficking ring run by labor contractors, according to a class action lawsuit filed today by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the American Federation of Teachers.
The federal lawsuit was filed on behalf of more than 350 Filipino teachers working in Louisiana under the federal H-1B guest-worker program. It accuses officials from two labor contractors—Universal Placement International, based in Los Angeles, and its sister organization, Manila-based PARS International Placement Agency—of human trafficking, racketeering and fraud. The suit also names as defendants the East Baton Rouge Parish School System, school district officials and California lawyer Robert Silverman.
"These teachers have been victimized in ways reminiscent of the worst abuses students learn about in history class: labor contracts signed under duress and arrangements that remind us of indentured servitude," said AFT President Randi Weingarten. "The goal of this lawsuit is to put an end to this exploitation, which should have no place in 21st-century America."
SPLC Legal Director Mary Bauer, author of the 2007 report Close to Slavery: Guestworker Programs in the United States, said it is clear that the very structure of the program lends itself to pervasive worker abuse. "The outrageous conduct by the companies that recruited these teachers and those who assisted them in carrying out their scheme is part of a larger pattern of exploitation that we've documented in guest-worker programs," she said.
The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Included as defendants are Lourdes "Lulu" Navarro, owner and president of Universal; Hothello "Jack" Navarro, a director at Universal; and Emilio V. Villarba, a representative of PARS.
According to a recent report by the AFT, the number of teachers brought to the United States on H-1B guestworker visas increased by nearly 30 percent between 2002 and 2006, from 14,943 to 19,393. Texas, New York, California, Maryland and Louisiana are the states with the largest number of teachers recruited from outside America, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
"The practices described in this lawsuit are disgusting, unacceptable and, frankly, un-American. We are very pleased to have the SPLC and the Covington & Burling law firm as partners in the pursuit of justice for these teachers and to put an end to these abuses," said Louisiana Federation of Teachers President Steve Monaghan.
About 200 of the teachers were assigned to the East Baton Rouge school system; others were spread among the Caddo Public School District, the Jefferson Parish Public School System, the Louisiana Recovery School District and other school systems in Louisiana. Only the East Baton Rouge district was named as a defendant.
The Filipino teachers began arriving in the United States in 2007 after each paid about $16,000, several times the average household income in the Philippines, to obtain the jobs. The H-1B guest-worker program, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, permits foreign nationals with special skills to work in the United States for up to six years.
Nearly all the teachers for whom papers were filed in the lawsuit had to borrow money to pay the recruiting fees; the recruiters referred them to private lenders who charged 3 to 5 percent interest per month. Teachers were forced to pay these exorbitant fees because they had already made substantial financial investments that would not be returned and because the recruiters confiscated their passports and visas until they paid. The teachers also were forced to sign away an additional 10 percent of the salaries they would earn during their second year of teaching.
Teachers who resisted signing the contracts were threatened with being deported and losing the thousands they had already paid. The recruiters also charged fees for arranging housing, which was substandard, and threatened teachers who complained or sought to move to a new location.
Ingrid Cruz, one of the teachers, said she and the other teachers were deceived into selling property, resigning from jobs, borrowing money and leaving behind children and friends in search of a more secure future. "We were herded into a path, a slowly constricting path, where the moment you feel the suspicion that something is not right, you're already way past the point of no return," Cruz said.
Under the guest-worker program, workers facing exploitation generally must either continue working for the employer that brought them to the United States or return home. Because they often are left deeply in debt from exorbitant recruiting fees, they typically have little choice but to remain on the job.

The folks over at Women's Wear Daily are worried about Elle. The paper's media-gossip column 'Memo Pad' is concerned about what Lindsay Lohan's latest DUI arrest means for the Hachette fashion magazine, which is featuring the actress on the cover of its advertiser-heavy, September fashion extravaganza for the 2nd year in a row (last year's cover, above left).
Elle readers seeking pages of fashion and style advice might be turned off by another Lohan arrest and pending court date, which will take place just days after the magazine hits newsstands... sources said Elle's interview and photo shoot took place prior to Lohan's stint in rehab, so it's likely the story doesn't include any discussion of her most recent run-in with the law.
Uh, doesn't that make the upcoming issue even more tantalizing? Also, does no one remember Lohan's appearance on the cover of InStyle's November 2006 issue, which came out just as she was doing AA for the first time and telling director Robert Altman's widow to "be adequite" and all that shit? As far as we've heard, InStyle's issue sold pretty well.

Public Safety Director Tom Casady said today that the Lincoln Police Department (LPD) will begin issuing tickets Monday, August 20 for any violations of the City mandatory water restrictions. LPD will no longer issue warnings. Since the mandatory restrictions went into effect August 9, LPD has responded to about 475 reported violations. Only two citations have been issued.
Because of historically flows in the Platte River basin, all water customers are now REQUIRED to follow the designated day schedule for all outdoor watering, including the washing of vehicles:
"This year, a tan yard is a sign of good citizenship," Casady said at a news conference in his front yard, where he has allowed his grass to go dormant. "We desperately need more people to think twice about the importance of lush lawns in comparison to the critical water needs of the community. Ten days has been plenty of warning. I think we've been quite patient with people who have claimed that they were unaware of the restrictions or hadn't reset their timers."
Violators who are convicted may be punished by a fine of up to $500 dollars or up to six months in jail or both. Each day that a violation continues is a separate offense. Violations can be reported to the LPD non-emergency number - 402-441-6000.
Jerry Obrist, Utilities Coordinator for the Lincoln Water System (LWS), said City officials will meet again Thursday August 23 to review water use and river flow. He said the next step could be limiting outdoor watering to two days a week.
Obrist said water use the first eight days of first of August averaged 65.1 million gallons per day. Since mandatory restrictions went into effect, water use has averaged about 56.9 million gallons per day. Flows in the Platte River are averaging about 332 cubic feet per second (cfs) this month. That compares to an average of 1,192 cfs in the same time period in 2002, the last time the City issued mandatory water restrictions.
Under the mandatory water restrictions, washing sidewalks, driveways and other paved areas is prohibited unless necessary to prevent imminent danger to health or safety. Re-filling or adding water to private swimming pools and wading pools may occur only between midnight and 6 a.m.
Those with questions on the water restrictions can contact LWS at 402-441-5918.
The daily usage information, water rates, the City's Water Management Plan and more information on water conservation is available at lincoln.ne.gov.

Aaland's documentary photographs have been exhibited in major institutions around the world, including the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and the former Lenin Museum in Prague. In 1981 he received the National Art Directors award for photography. He has contributed both text and/or photography to Wired, Outside, Digital Creativity, American Photo, The Washington Post, and Newsweek, as well as several European publications.
Aaland has been a pioneer in digital photography, an interest that dates back to a 1980 interview he conducted with Ansel Adams. When Aaland asked Adams what he would be pursuing if he were just starting out, Adams discussed at length his fascination with digital photographs of the planets. Aaland has pursued this new technology since its infancy. During the 1980s he reported on digital photography as west coast editor of the Swedish FOTO magazine, and wrote a column on the subject for American Photographer magazine. Aaland is one of the few orginal Adobe Lightroom's alpha and beta user, and he served as an unpaid advisor on the project for over a year.
"Thrilling photographic adventures aside, you definitely need Mikkel Aalands Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure: Mastering Adobes Next-Generation Tool for Digital Photographers if you are serious about your digital photography."— Dominique James, Sacramento Book Review
"If you want to learn about Lightroom 2 the easy and pleasurable way, this book may be for you. "— Brian Seed, The Picture Professional, Issue 1, 2009
"Although the Lightroom landscape is unfamiliar to me, I can tell you that Mikkel's explanations of just how the ACR-type development tools work are clear, complete, and very useful. They confirmed some details I'd had notions about but couldn't find explicitly clarified elsewhere. I'm betting that the rest of the book is just that good."— Ctein, The Online Photographer
"I'm only 40% of the way through it and already I've learned several very useful things. Some are basics I just hadn't noticed..."— Ctein, The Online Photographer
"From using different modules such as Develop to black and white effects, no Photoshop collection should be without Photoshop Lightroom Adventure."— Diane C. Donovan, California Bookwatch: The Photography Shelf
"This is one of the most detailed how-to books you will find covering the new Lightroom 2 program. It is a hands-on guide that will teach you how to use Lightroom to make your images really stand out in a crowd....If you are going to be using Lightroom, then this is a "must-have" book, and I do not say that very often."— Paul W. Faust, Impressions of Light
"I'm a digital tech freak, but I was set in my ways. Most of what Lightroom does can be done in Photoshop, after all. But...Ive just finished reading Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure, by Mikkel Aaland (OReilly Media; $44.99), and Im a changed man. Ive been locked away in my studio for weeks now playing with the software, the book and my digital images."— John C. Carnett, Popular Science
"Every page of Aaland's book is filled stunning photography and screen shots that explore every aspect of Lightroom 2.0...He is a master of breaking down complicated concepts about digital photography in a succinct manner...Indeed, Photoshop Lightroom Adventure 2 will be the only guide you need to learn the program."— Bakari Chavanu, MyMac Magazine
"It is a gorgeous and absolutely indispensable book for all Lightroom users."— Gordon Cook, Cook's Collaborative Edge
"This book covers Lightroom 2.0 from the ground up so any one new to using Lightroom could benefit from this. But there is more than enough new or changed items with this release that even for someone fairly versed in Lightroom 1.x will find useful knowledge between the covers."— Michael T. Sedwick, Behind the Shutter Curtain
"Photoshop Lightroom 2 Adventure is on the other hand a great concept for a book. It allows me as the reader, an entertaining way to learn of new photographers, see how they compare to others who basically are shooting the same sites, all while learning the new features of Lightroom 2."— T. Michael Testi, Blogcritics Magazine
"What separate's Aaland's adventure book from the other lightroom adventure books? The superb photos illustrating techniques. Rather than resorting to stock, the book inspires with stunning images shot in Tasmania by Aaland and a teen of 18 pros. It's hands-on Lightroom-learning in the real (make that exotic) world."— Derek Pell, Zoom Street Magazine
"After repeatedly being given unsatisfactory, incomplete and sometimes just plain wrong answers by my fellow photographers and even personnel at the camera stores that I frequent, I really didn't know very much about camera RAW except that I should use it instead of shooting JPEGs. Finally this book not only tells people exactly why they should use it and when, but makes it clear that Adobe's newest release of CAMERA RAW 4.4.1 is such an improvement over the latest one that will work with CS2 that it makes the issue of finding out whether or not I can do some sort of workaround to let me use CS2 with my Nikon D3's (and soon D300's) RAW images irrelevant...If you have not read this book already, you really should do so - especially since it specifically discusses Adobe's PHOTOSHOP CS3, and how to derive maximum benefit from RAW image files while using it."— Jan Wagner, AutoMatters automotive columnist
"Neo-pros need this - and any computer or photography library strong in Photoshop techniques will find it popular."— James Cox, California Bookwatch: The Computer Shelf
"Photoshop CS3 RAW has easy-to-follow instructions and beautiful illustrative graphics that help the reader gain a quick understanding of Photoshop CS3's three distinct working environments for RAW files..."— Stan Ashbrook, PSA Journal
"Photoshop CS3 RAW by Mikkel Aaland succeeds in instructing us how to use Adobe Camera RAW in Photoshop CS3 as a very important workflow tool to process and enhance RAW images. This book is particularly suited for the beginning photographer who is just now starting to use his new DSLR camera to shoot RAW and has Photoshop CS3 installed in his computer. The lessons could go deep at times, but it can only benefit the photographer to understand the hows and whys of the tools used."— Chris Malinao, Studio Lighting
"The outstanding thing to note about Mikkel Aaland's book Photoshop CS3 Raw: Get the Most Out of the Raw Format with Adobe Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Bridge is that is organized very systematically. Instead of being a breathless description of everything you can do with the software, Aaland focuses on why you would do something and how to do it. It's an effort that is fun to read and easy to reference."— Aspi Havewala, Blogcritics Magazine
"This most excellent book is one of the first to be devoted exclusively to the topic of shooting in the raw, by explaining the advantages and challenges of using Adobe Camera Raw to produce magnificent images. In other words, this best-selling book is full of inside knowledge of how new features let photographers optimize and convert images for the best results in Adobe Photoshop CS3."— John Vacca, Amazon.com
"Mikkel Aaland's experience in the digital realm shows through in Photoshop CS3 RAW...If you want to learn how to shoot in Raw and need help to understand what you are doing, then Photoshop CS3 RAW is a great place to start. There are sample files that are available for download that will make sure that you get the same results that are found in the book. Photoshop CS3 RAW is highly recommended."— T. Michael Testi, Blogcritics Magazine
"The book also covers impressive ground in terms of exploring and explaining the features of a complex application. There is coverage of virtually everything you'd like to know about Lightroom - which pretty much encompasses all the recent advances in PC-based digital picture processing. Thus the book is also a really good tutorial of the subject as well."— Aspi Havewala, Blogcritics Magazine

SMART-1 manoeuvres prepare for mission end
After sixteen months orbiting the Moon, ESA's lunar mission is preparing for the end of its scientific exploration. On 19 June, SMART-1 mission controllers initiated a 17-day series of manoeuvres aimed at positioning the spacecraft to enhance science data return as the mission winds down.
SMART-1, Europe's successful first Moon mission, is scheduled to end on 3 September 2006, impacting on the Moon's surface in a disposal plan similar to that of many earlier lunar missions and almost three years to the day after its 2003 launch.
The recently started manoeuvre campaign aims to avoid having the spacecraft intersect with the Moon at a disadvantageous time from the scientific point of view, as it would have naturally about 17 August if left alone. Instead, this 'extension' to mission operations will provide new opportunities for low-altitude scientific observations and give optimum science returns during and after the spacecraft's controlled impact on the Moon.
In preparation for mission end, spacecraft controllers at ESOC, ESA's Spacecraft Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, have started a series of thruster firings to give a 'delta-velocity,' or change in velocity, of approximately 12 metres per second. This will raise the orbit perilune (point of closest passage over the Moon) by about 90 kilometres, and will shift the impact to 3 September.
"The shift in date, time and location for Moon intersection is also optimised to favour scientific observations from Earth," said Gerhard Schwehm, ESA's SMART-1 Mission Manager. "Projections based on the current orbit indicated that the spacecraft, if left as is, would impact the Moon on the far side, away from ground contact and visibility. The new location is on the Moon's near-side, at mid-southern latitudes."
For the manoeuvre campaign, the use of the electric propulsion system (the ion engine) had to be ruled out since all Xenon propellant reserves were exhausted during the mission. The mission control team have instead developed an imaginative approach.
Innovative manoeuvre strategy
"The manoeuvre strategy consists of a series of reaction-wheel off-loadings combined with about three hours of intermittent thrust centred at apolune (point of furthest distance from the Moon) during the next 74 orbits," said Octavio Camino, Spacecraft Operations Manager at ESOC.
"We use asymmetric firing of the attitude thrusters to produce a small velocity variation aligned with the flight direction. This will change the orbit by an accumulative effect," added Camino.
"After these manoeuvres, science activities will resume until the impact, with short interruptions for two trim manoeuvres to adjust the impact time, one around the end of July and one at the beginning of September," he concluded.
This manoeuvre campaign and the following trim manoeuvres will make it possible to predict the exact time and location for the SMART-1 impact with more accuracy.
Note to editors
SMART-1 is the first in a series of 'Small Missions for Advanced Research and Technology' in which elements of the platform and miniaturised payload technology have been conceived as a demonstration for future scientific missions and an early opportunity for science. SMART-1 used an innovative ion-propulsion system powered by a small quantity of onboard Xenon and solar energy to generate electricity used to ionise the fuel to travel to the Moon.
After a 27 September 2003 launch, SMART-1 spiralled out over a 14-month period until being captured by the Moon on 15 November 2004, thus successfully achieving the primary objective of demonstrating solar electric propulsion during interplanetary travel. In addition to helping prove new technology from the perspective of satellite design, the mission has also provided an opportunity to develop new ways of conducting ground control operations based on both increased satellite autonomy and improved tools for ground automation.
The wealth of scientific data from SMART-1 are still being processed and analysed. Thanks to SMART-1, scientists all over Europe and around the world will have access to the best-resolution surface images ever taken from lunar orbit, as well as a better knowledge of the Moon's minerals. For the first time from orbit, SMART-1 detected Calcium and Magnesium using an X-ray instrument. It measured compositional changes from the central peaks of craters, volcanic plains and giant impact basins. The camera studied impact craters, volcanic features and lava tubes, and monitored the polar regions.
