text: Crop Tech April 25, 2014 08:17 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Rhonda Brooks Editor, Farm Journal MagazineEditorial Director, Farm Journal Media Email Biological Pest Control AgBiTech announces that the Environmental Protection Agency has approved its biological-based product, Heligen, to control Helicoverpa, a genus of moths. CEO Anthony Hawes says the company anticipates strong demand for Heligen, particularly among farmers growing soybeans, sweet corn, grain sorghum and tomatoes. Heligen incorporates a natural baculovirus-based technology, Helicoverpa NPV, which kills only Helicoverpa and Heliothis pests such as corn earworm and tobacco budworm. Depending on the situation, farmers can use the product early in the season to suppress pests, later in the season as a stand-alone application or in combination with other pest-control methods to minimize the risk of further sprays. For additional information, visit www.agbitech.com. Insecticide/Fungicide Premix Crossover is the first-ever insecticide plus fungicide premix formulated into a convenient and stable emulsifiable concentrate product. The product, developed by Innvictis Crop Care, LLC, combines a triazole fungicide with a pyrethroid insecticide to control a wide pest spectrum, such as rust, leaf blight and powdery mildew, as well as insects such as cutworm, armyworm, earworm, grasshoppers, stink bugs, thrips and aphids. Crossover can be used in soybeans as an early season foliar "recharge" or in the R5 and R7 windows. It can be mixed with strobilurin fungicides to round out disease control in corn and soybeans. It can also serve as an all-in-one in early season wheat with rust and insect pressure. Crossover has been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and is available for the 2014 season. For more information, visit www.innvictis.com. Herbicide Has Multiple MOAs Syngenta announces its corn herbicide premix SYN-A197 will be marketed as Acuron herbicide upon registration by the Environmental Protection Agency. The company expects registration in time for use in 2015. Syngenta developed Acuron in response to weed resistance and the resulting increase in demand for residual herbicide products with multiple modes of action. The herbicide premix combines three complementary modes of action and four active ingredients, including bicyclopyrone, to deliver a multi-targeted approach to weed control. For more details, visit www.syngentacropprotection.com. Dig for Answers Sometimes you have to dig a little for answers when your corn crop emerges unevenly, which can hurt ear counts, says Missy Bauer, Farm Journal Associate Field Agronomist. Bauer provides these simple directions to determine the causes of uneven emergence. Based on a simple measurement, you can see that the corn plant shown here grew from seed that was planted about 1.5" deep. 1. Dig up a corn plant, look at the root system and find the old seed. Note that the mesocotyl extends up to the base of the crown. 2. Hold the base of the crown at the 3⁄4" line of the measuring tape, as demonstrated in the photo above. Then, measure the length of the mesocotyl down to the bottom of the seed. This measurement is your planting depth for that specific plant. 3. Measure the planting depth of neighboring plants. Look for variations in the mesocotyl length between plants and compare your findings. Any variations tell you there was a lack of planting-depth uniformity. Plants that vary 1⁄4" or more in planting-depth consistency can reduce ear size or count. "When uniformity isn't even from plant to plant that may indicate a planter set-up problem," Bauer notes. Common factors that contribute to uneven planting depth include: the planter not running level, too fast a planting speed, poor adjustment to disk openers or incorrect down pressure. Back to news

Hey guys, I rode the Park Pickle at Northstar on Saturday. It was awesome. By 2:30 pm the entire mountain stunk of vinegar. Heelside turns require much less effort, and the board responds immediately. It goes fast too. Real fast. I tested the high speed responsiveness in the human slalom course that was the single open trail. It passed with flying colors. The Park Pickle and I were whistled at by ski patrol on more than one occasion. I decided to test it in its natural environment, a 6 feature mini park set up on a short trail. The Pickle pressed impressively, and it had a nice amount of pop so that alot of effort was not required to get onto the higher features. There was a 15 foot kicker, which is now more more pickled than Keith Richards. Frontside spins off the heels were done with little effort. In fact, the first FS 3 I did was nearly inverted due to the responsiveness of the heel edge. Awesome. The public was responsive as well. Every time I was in line somebody would ask me "hey how is that thing?" or "oh my god is that the Park Pickle? You're so cool." All in all, my first day on the Pickle was a great one, and I can't wait to do it again.

Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Colt 45 Blast
Will Gordon drinks his way through the bottom shelf of the liquor store...so you don't have to.

40s of Malt Liquor »
Old Crow Reserve »
A couple Fridays ago I got up dim but early to strap on my cleanest jeans and my longest-sleeved shirt for Bottom Shelf research coordinator Emily's graduate school commencement ceremony. I was very proud of Emily and also of myself: The night before I'd committed the selfless act of slinking off to get drunk alone while she attended some other sort of graduation ceremony. This gave her the perfect opportunity to complain about me; people like to complain sometimes, so it would be cruel to consistently deny her the opportunity.
So I think I can be forgiven if I zoned out through large swaths of the proceedings, for I was busy preparing my remarks in case I should be summoned to the stage to receive a Special Doctorate in Being a Supportive Boyfriend with a Dual Concentrations in Produce Shopping and Spider Killing. That call never came, but I don't think I missed much. I managed to enjoy the band and a quick nap while still leafing through enough of the program to learn that if you want your kid to get a master's degree, you should forget all about vitamins and tutors and just name him Caitlin.
Names are important. If you call your kid Caitlin, she's going to get an advanced degree. If you call your kid Jeff, he's going to tool around town in a mufflerless Firebird full of Rush tapes and bad intentions. And if you call your "premium malt beverage with natural fruit flavors and FD&C Red #40" Grape Blast by Colt 45, it's going to be an appalling vehicle for getting get way too many teenagers way too drunk, and I'm going to join my natural enemies—nervous moms and grandstanding attorneys general—in calling for its banishment.
If you name it Raspberry Watermelon Blast by Colt 45, however, it's going to be my new favorite way to get ripped when I've only got $5 and 20 minutes to dedicate to the task. Most "premium malt beverages with natural flavors" taste kinda the same, with the chief distinction being in the color they turn your pee. The variation in quality among Blast flavors is startling.
Colt 45 is now owned by Pabst. I don't know what this means, but figured I'd mention it. Blast is its new entrant into the increasingly crowded field of 12% ABV fruity beer-alternatives that come in bubble gum flavors and oversized cans. Blast is available in Raspberry Watermelon, Grape, Blueberry Pomegranate, and Strawberry Lemonade. I really like the Raspberry Watermelon and could make peace with the Blueberry Pomegranate if I had to. America's favorite gangster, Snoop Dogg, heartily endorses all four flavors, though it should be noted he gets paid to do so, whereas getting Blasted sets a civilian back $2.50 per 23.5 ounce can.
The most notable thing Blast has going for it is that it actually retains some beery character. Unlike 4 Loko and Tilt and others of its seedy kind, Blast foams in the glass, and you can even trick yourself into thinking there was a stray hop involved in the brewing process. The Grape is an unmitigated disaster—Emily said it tasted like creamy medicine, and even though everyone likes cream and Emily likes medicine, she didn't mean it in a nice way. But with the other three flavors, I could detect clear beer elements underneath the very whelming but not quite overwhelming fake-fruitiness.
Halfway through Sunday night's tasting, I was convinced I'd found a new favorite cheap buzz for what threatens to be a long, hot, broke summer, but my enthusiasm cooled as the night wore on. Blast doesn't taste nearly as bad as you think, but it is still awfully sugary, and the foaminess tricks you into drinking it faster than any non-Dre doctor would order. So yes, it is still my favorite new way to get drunk fast and cheap, but I just don't have as much call for that kind of thing as I used to. I've reached that sad age where my toes break when I stub them: I simply don't bounce back fast enough to get Blasted in this cruel world where people expect me to be places and pay bills.
It's not for me to say whether Colt 45 is pushing this on minors or other vulnerables. But I can't imagine too many people old enough to buy their own ramen would be able to fit this into their lifestyle. Blast, if used as intended, gets you wasted. Nothing wrong with getting wasted if you've got a whole kennel full of assistants and enablers, but if you find yourself having to work or tolerate solid food the next day, you might be better off leaving Blast to the celebrities and undergrads.

We liked this story because it is about spelling. We want to be good spellers like Phoebe. We thought that the drawings were really good too. We liked how Phoebe looked like a cartoon on TV. We think that Katie is a good friend to Phoebe too. We think that having good friends are important. We also like Phoebe's imagination. She told all kinds of funny stories instead of spelling her words right. Little kids need to have a good imagination to have fun.
We recommend this book to anyone who likes to spell and who have good friends.

Categories: Crossovers > Slash Pairings, Slash Pairings > McKay/Sheppard Characters: Rodney McKay
After the events of Scanners 2, Kellum went deep undercover to protect his older sister and himself from being exploited by government agencies. A couple months later, his girlfriend has a freak-out and leaves him, taking their dog (Trooper) with her. Kellum finds that his parents had another child, Jeannie, before they were killed. They had left her with more friends that eventually accept David into their family so he can be with Jeannie when he realizes she is a scanner, but has a much weaker ability compared to David's. In effect, he becomes Rodney McKay and goes back to school after he masters his abilities and is able to function in high population areas without being stressed. As McKay, he does get his multiple PhDs and is hired as a civilian contractor with the US military and eventually goes to Atlantis. Events on an away mission force McKay to reveal that he's a Scanner, but his identity holds as Meredith Rodney McKay. Sheppard has some difficulties with the fact that McKay has psionic abilities but they do get together (please, must have a hot sex scene with Rodney as bottom). The SGC may look into McKay's background and may/or may not find his true identity-depends on the author's discretion. Also, McKay's abilities have grown over the years, so he's pretty damn powerful. The Ancients can't sense them, since McKay hides his ability extremely well but they may make an appearance since McKay revealed his abilities on that away mission to save his team. Must have a happy ending, I get depressed on sad endings.
The game of "Would You Rather" that Carter, McKay, and Keller play while trapped in "Trio" goes a little farther. Instead of just asking about celebrities, they start asking about other members of the Atlantis expedition or the SGC. (Also, you could decide to change which characters got stuck down there) What secret feelings are revealed? Does Keller admit she has feelings for Ronon (or McKay)? Is Rodney carrying a torch for Sheppard? What's actually going on with Carter and O'Neill? What else can you come up with? Any pairing you like, although there was definately a hint of McKay slashiness in the show, and that would be interesting.

10,000 years is a long time to be alone, and to be alone like that can drive a person or city to insanity. This is where Atlantis is not just a city. Her time alone drove her into insanity and when the expidition arrives she takes the ones with the gene along with her. It can either be gradual or all at once but gene or not Mckay must be driven insane with the carriers. He and Sheppard are the cities 'favorites'. It can McShep. Bonus points to whoever can make it mostly cannon up until the ancients try to kick the expidition from Atlantis.

Jeanne McKay was the scientist working at Area 51, the SGC, who travelled on the Atlantis Expedition, and now three Years later, it's her brother Rodney that is brought to Atlantis. Sheppard feels the need to take Rodney under his wing during his stay, and can't help but notice the difference between Rodney and his sister, and the rapport that they immediately strike up, it's a companionable and affectionate bickering, and sniping, and John hasn't enjoyed someone's company in a long time.

How about a Twilight crossover? 17 year old Meredith Rodney McKay goes to the town of Forks, Washington (for whatever reason the author chooses), and is instantly attracted to the mysterious 17 year old John Sheppard and his family. He doesn't know that they're vampires! John is like Edward: he can read people's minds, all except Rodney's. And Rodney is his Singer: his blood is more tempting to John than any others. You can have any of the other SGA or Sg1 characters in the story as John's family/foes, or you can use the Twilight characters, but replace Edward with John. But Ronan has to take the place of Jacob as a werewolf. The ending HAS to be either John/Rodney, or Rodney/Ronan. If you're up to it, I'm completely fine with John/Rodney/Ronan, but I strongly prefer McShep. :) Any characters from both SGA and SG1 are allowed, but this fic should be McShep centered! (Preferably in Rodney's perspective!)

Sheppard and McKay share the consciousness of two Ancients, they don't have long left, but want to spend this time together, it's agreed to, without quite realising that they were married, and that time together meant making love. And once they're gone, John and Rodney are left with the memories of having had sex together.
Sheppard's youth wasn't restored by the Wraith that drained him, instead, he has remained an old man. John and McKay had been together, not for long, but now Rodney is torn in what he's feeling towards John. John has refused to go back to Earth, wanting to stay in Atlantis, and Weir has allowed this, but he isn't expecting Rodney to care for him, he doesn't want Rodney to see him like that. Rodney knows that he should, knows that he should want to, and a part of him does, but another can't get past John's appearance. It was hard enough to be with another Man, John being the exception, and their Friendship essentially paving the way. From being with a Man in his prime, to an Old Man, that even with Atlantis' Transporters, can barely make it around the City, is too big of a leap for Rodney to make, and he's ashamed that he's not a big enough person to continue their Relationship. Although they don't initially know, the Wraith started the process of reversing the Feeding, and John is slowly recovering, and in a matter of Weeks, he'll be restored, but there is a massive wedge between him and Rodney. On the one hand, it's understandable, but they can't just forget what happened, it became almost mutually unspoken to not even visit, or continue their Friendship, and if Rodney couldn't be with John under those circumstances, should they even try to get past this.
The Ori are invading Earth, and with the Ancients still in control of Atlantis, the SGC ask them for help. The Ancients offer to let people evacuate to Atlantis, and into the Pegasus Galaxy. Sheppard's is one of the SG Teams leading the evacuation, very few actually make it through the Gate in time, and one of those is Rodney, coming through with the last few. They contact Teyla and Ronon, but they're all that's left.
This story is AU after the Seige events. In this Reality, bisexuality/homosexuality is the norm. Heterosexuality isn't. Almost all relationships are dominant/submissive pairings. Well, after making contact with Earth, McKay convinces his sister, Jeannie, to come to Atlantis. (In this reality, Jeannie remained single and doesn't have kids.) Jeannie comes, and is amazed at all the things Atlantis has to offer. She is envious that her brother has Col. John Sheppard as his mate, wishing she had someone to care about her like that. Little did she know, she already had...for when she arrived, she caught the unwavering eyes of Laura Cadman. I would prefer that Jeannie McKay is a submissive, while Laura is the dominant. You can write any outcome, and can even have another character competing against Laura for Jeannie's affections.

Rodney McKay has been exploring the possibility that Ancient Technology puts off a potentially harmful Radiation to Humans, Ancients wouldn't have been affected, but the Expedition might have been. He's right, the Ancients knew it, and the affects are an altering of personality, and most seriously, of health. Everyone has been affected to a degree, but Rodney most seriously, having had the most exposure to Atlantis' Technology. Carson develops a treatment, and Rodney's going to be okay, but since he's been affected, he's quite uncharacteristically started a Relationship with another man, John Sheppard, and now he doesn't know if that's because of the affects of the Radiation.
John and Daniel are required to work alongside/with each other for an exteded period of time and become close. You can decide how close is "close."

I've seen many Ancient!John fics, but few Ancient!Rodney ones, & would love for more. So, here's my Challenge: Rodney's a Descended Ancient who purposely made himself human (for some important reason) with a Dormant ATA gene. Carson's gene therapy awakens past Ancient memories. Why did he Descend? Is he there to Help or Hamper Progress? Have Fun:) Bonus Points for McShep:)
Categories: Slash Pairings > McKay/Sheppard Characters: None
A mission goes terribly wrong for SGA-1. McKay messes up something greatly (can be anything, but has to be a big mistake), which causes Sheppard to be captured. The resting SGA-1 members must return to Atlantis alone. Back in Atlantis (choose whatever season you want to have whomever you like best in charge) there is a decision made to send McKay home because of his mistake. McKay then runs away right into danger's hands to save Sheppard and redeem himself. Must have Sheppard/McKay pairing, NC-17 preferred but not necessary, happy ending.
Some Alterans have arranged marriages, and John is one of those Alterans. Atlantis has just arrived in Pegasus, everyone is working setting up a new civilisation, and his Parents spring on him an arranged marriage. They're not mandatory, but are appreciated by the families that arrange them. What's not know is if you're going to get a boy or a girl, and John likes girls, he doesn't want to be married to a boy. John has never met anyone who's had a successful arranged marriage, and after seeing Rodney, doesn't believe that he's actually going to. He's horrible, arrogant, dismissive, and if John was ever going to go with a boy, it certainly would not be him. He's going to go through with it for his parents' sake, and then end it in a year. They can live separate lives, Rodney spending his time ensconced in the control room, and the labs, John spending it flying, and as much time spent away from their shared quarters as possible.
This is an Atlantis-fic set in the world based off of "Final Fantasy; the Spirits Within" movie. It is set in a futuristic Earth, and there are quarantined Colonies instead of countries that are used to protect the remaining humans safe from the spirit-like Phantoms. John Sheppard is a Colonel of the Military, the leader of his band of soldiers Ronon, Teyla, Laura and Lorne. He is sent to another Colony that is filled mainly with scientists, in order to protect their research and them. It is here that he meets Rodney McKay; a scientist who believes he can solve the Earth's problems with the Phantoms, and who holds a secret within himself; he has a mutated strain of a Phantom virus within himself. However,the antagonist, General Koyla will go as far as possible to destroy the Phantoms using the Satelite Cannon; even if it means devastating the Earth in the process. As John and Rodney grow closer, John starts to feel emotions for Rodney that he was trained to ignore. It becomes harder to do so as he spends more time with him, but in the end, will the Phantoms take away Rodney before John has had a chance to really love him? You can have other relationships in the story, but I would like to see a progression between Rodney and John romantically. Bonus points if the story is really long. (Can be broken down into chapters if you want.) If you have no clue about the Final Fantasy story, you can go to Wikipedia, and look up: Final Fantasy: the Spirits Within. It has a but load of info on the gadgets, Phantoms, and anything else you might need from the movie, if you want to add it to the story!!! ;D

People have always been drawn to Daniel, but the attraction is deeper for those who carry the ATA gene. What I'm really looking for here, is a little John/Daniel, but feel free to explore other options. Bonus if you throw in some aspect of ascension.

Sheppard wakes up, but immediately knows that something isn't right, he's not in his quarters on Atlantis for a start. On further investigation, he finds himself still in Antarctica. There was never any expedition to Atlantis, and taking his chopper out to the site of the Ancient outpost, find that there's nothing there. At least if the outpost is there, it's never been uncovered. John tries contacting the SGC, but it's not there either, the Stargate was never discovered. He sets about trying to find the others; Elizabeth is in the Middle East, negotiating peace talks, Aiden is in Iraq, John can't decide if that's still better than being MIA in the Pegasus Galaxy, and Carson he can't find head nor tail of. He's able to find out that Rodney is at Area 51, and knows that if anyone knows what's happened, and why John remembers, then it's his best friend. John doesn't have clearance for Area 51, but needs to get to Rodney somehow or other.

Opportunity Commission
Many states, counties, cities, and towns have their own laws prohibiting discrimination, as well as agencies responsible for enforcing those laws. We call these state and local agencies "Fair Employment Practices Agencies" (FEPAs). Usually the laws enforced by these agencies are similar to those enforced by EEOC. In some cases, these agencies enforce laws that offer greater protection to workers, such as protection from discrimination because you are married or unmarried, have children or because of your sexual orientation. There also may be different deadlines for filing a charge, different standards for determining whether you are protected by these laws, and different types of relief available to victims of discrimination.
You can file your charge with either the EEOC or with a Fair Employment Practices Agency. When an individual initially files with a FEPA that has a worksharing agreement with the EEOC, and the allegation is covered by a law enforced by the EEOC, the FEPA will dual file the charge with EEOC (meaning EEOC will receive a copy of the charge), but will usually retain the charge for processing. If the charge is initially filed with EEOC and the charge is also covered by state or local law, EEOC dual files the charge with the state or local FEPA (meaning the FEPA will receive a copy of the charge), but ordinarily retains the charge for processing.
To determine if there is a FEPA in your area, please see the information for your nearest EEOC field office, which lists the FEPAs in its jurisdictional area.
If a FEPA has a contract with EEOC, a Charging Party may request that the EEOC review the determination of the FEPA. EEOC does not review decisions by non-contract FEPAs. The EEOC will conduct a review only if the request is submitted in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the FEPA's determination. If we receive your request for a review after the 15 day time frame, it will be considered untimely and the EEOC may not conduct a review. The request should also include the reason why the Charging Party is requesting the review (e.g. relevant witnesses not contacted, evidence not considered, or presence of new evidence).

Clarkson University Professor to Debut Book on Sexual Diversity in Africa
S.N. Nyeck, an assistant professor of political science at Clarkson University, will attend a book launch and signing party of her new book, Sexual Diversity in Africa, on Friday, October 25, at 4:15 p.m. in the Bertrand H. Snell Hall Atrium.
Nyeck co-edited the book with Marc Epprecht, a professor of global development studies at Queen's University.
In Sexual Diversity in Africa, contributors engage with current debates about sexuality and gender identity, as well as with contentious issues relating to methodology, epistemology, ethics and pedagogy.
They present a variety of issues that testify to the complex nature of sexuality, sexual practices, and gender performance in Africa, and explore ways to address homophobia without threatening majority rule democracy and freedoms of speech and faith.
"We wanted to make an argument as to why research on sexuality can potentially further our understanding of social and political disputes in the developing world," Nyeck said.
Essays in the book examine topics such as the well-established same-sex networks in Accra and Bamako, African "traditions" defined by European observers, and the mix of faith, pharmaceuticals, and pseudo-science used to "cure" homosexual men.
Asserting that the study of sexuality is intellectually and politically sustainable in Africa, Sexual Diversity in Africa contributes to the theorization of sexualities by presenting a more sensitive and knowledgeable study of African experiences and perspectives.
The book signing is part of the first annual Gender and Sexuality Studies Conference of the Associated Colleges on Friday, October 25. The event is free and open to the public.
The goal of the conference, "Why Gender and Sexuality Studies Still Matter," is to bring together faculty, students and staff from all four colleges of the St. Lawrence Valley to examine new challenges, review current strategies and develop fresh perspectives on gender and sexual justice and inclusion. For more on the conference, visit http://www.clarkson.edu/news/2013/news-release_2013-10-18-3.html .
Nyeck was appointed an assistant professor of political science at Clarkson earlier this year. She received her bachelor of arts degree with high honors from Swarthmore College and her Ph.D. in political science from UCLA.
Before coming to Clarkson, Nyeck was a teaching assistant at UCLA from 2008-2012. Additionally, she was project coordinator for International Resource Network in Africa, and editor and founder of Outliers Journal.
Her research interests include entrepreneurship in the public sector, public-private partnerships, government contracting, comparative institutional and historical analysis, government spending, and public sector reform. She also examines sexuality and politics, contentious politics, law and culture, and politics and literature.

The long awaited (for me, anyway) Pennsylvania State Death Index for the years 1906 to 1961 finally came online yesterday and I have been making the most of it! The vast majority of the individuals in my genealogy database are from Pennsylvania. All of my immigrant ancestors arrived in America between the late 1600s and mid to late 1700s and came to PA. My direct lines as well as many cousin lines stayed.
I am using this index as additional death date source for those individuals for whom I have already found a death date – i.e. in an obit or on a tombstone, etc. I am also using it to find an exact date (which can be confirmed with further research) in the cases where I have only a year or a month and year. At this point, I have found just over 100!
As other bloggers [link and link] have noted, the database is not searchable. It is really just a collection of browse-able files which are images of the paper index. For some years the index is alphabetical. For other years, the index is alphabetized by soundex codes. There are instructions on the site to calculate the soundex code by hand, but I found an online calculator here: [link].
The index for each year is broken up into several files – usually about 5 or 6 or more. To make things go a little faster, I used Legacy Family Tree's advanced tagging feature to find all the individuals who may possibly be in the PA Death Index. I then exported those individuals to GenViewer (a Legacy add-on) for ease of sorting so I'm not flipping back and forth between different years and different files within a year. This has really helped to streamline my workflow.
If you have Pennsylvania people in your database for these years, then this is a resource that you really need to check out. (Oh, there's also a birth index, but due to the 105 year privacy restriction, it is only for the year 1906 for now.)

Call me crazy but i think nazr is gonna have a big year. I'm kinda glad we didn't get dampier. It's posible Mohammed is an equvalent player, mabey even better than damp. If the dampier trade went through we might never get to see what this guy can do. Physicaly Nazr is 1in shorter, 15lbs lighter and 2 years younger than damp, but he is way more athletic. I've seen damp play but untill last year i haven't seen Mohammed at all really. And seeing how he was a back up center on the hawks not many of you can say you've seen him play either, let alone heard of him. He aint shaq ............. but he might be that force in the middle for all thoes non-shaq games.

Hubble Observes Planetoid Sedna, Mystery Deepens
Astronomers poring over 35 NASA Hubble Space Telescope images of the solar system's farthest known object, unofficially named Sedna, are surprised that the object does not appear to have a companion moon of any substantial size. This unexpected result might offer new clues to the origin and evolution of objects on the far edge of the solar system.
At a distance of over 8 billion miles, Sedna is so far away it is reduced to one picture element (pixel) in the image [at lower right] taken in high-resolution mode with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. This image sets an upper limit on Sedna's size of 1,000 miles in diameter.
Astronomers poring over 35 NASA Hubble Space Telescope images of the solar system's farthest known object, unofficially named Sedna, are surprised that the object does not appear to have a companion moon of any substantial size.
This unexpected result might offer new clues to the origin and evolution of objects on the far edge of the solar system.
When Sedna's existence was announced on March 15, its discoverer, Mike Brown of Caltech, was so convinced it had a satellite that an artist's concept of Sedna released to the media included a hypothetical moon.
Brown's prediction was based on the fact that Sedna appears to have a very slow rotation that could best be explained by the gravitational tug of a companion object. Almost all other solitary bodies in the solar system complete a spin in a matter of hours.
"I'm completely baffled at the absence of a moon," says Brown. "This is outside the realm of expectation and makes Sedna even more interesting. But I simply don't know what it means."
Immediately following the announcement of the discovery of Sedna, astronomers turned the Hubble Space Telescope toward the new planetoid to search for the expected companion moon. The space-based platform provides the resolving power needed to make such precision measurements in visible light. "Sedna's image isn't stable enough in ground-based telescopes," says Brown.
Surprisingly, the Hubble images taken March 16 with the new Advanced Camera for Surveys only show the single object Sedna, along with a faint, very distant background star in the same field of view.
"Despite HST's crisp view (equivalent to trying to see a soccer ball 900 miles away), it still cannot resolve the disk of mysterious Sedna," says Brown. This would place an upper limit in the object's size of being approximately three-quarters the diameter of Pluto, or about 1,000 miles across.
But Brown predicted that a satellite would pop up as a companion "dot" in Hubble's precise view. The object is not there, though there is a very small chance it might have been behind Sedna or transiting in front of it, so that it could not be seen separately from Sedna itself in the Hubble images.
Brown based this prediction on his earlier observations of apparent periodic changes in light reflecting from Sedna's mottled surface. The resulting light curve gives a long rotation period exceeding 20 days (but not greater than 50 days). If true, Sedna would be the slowest rotating object in the solar system after Mercury and Venus, whose slow rotation rates are due to the tidal influence of the Sun.
One easy way out of this dilemma is the possibility that the rotation period is not as slow as the astronomers thought. But even with a careful reanalysis the team remains convinced that the period is correct. Brown admits, "I'm completely lost for an explanation as to why the object rotates so slowly."
Small bodies like asteroids and comets typically complete one rotation in a matter of hours. Pluto's rotation has been slowed to a relatively leisurely six-day period because Pluto is tidally locked to the revolution period of its satellite Charon. Hubble easily resolves Pluto and Charon as two separate bodies. NASA's forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope will provide a platform for further high-resolution studies of the infrared light from such distant, cold bodies in our solar system.
The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), for NASA, under contract with the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD. The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).

NORTON, Mass. (AP) � Phil Mickelson keeps saying how much he loves playing with Tiger Woods. He shot 63 at the Deutsche Bank Championship to prove it.
In a feature grouping of the top three players in the world rankings, Mickelson turned in the star performance yesterday morning with a 28 that allowed him to consider � but only briefly � another shot at 59.
By the end of the day, when he played a risky shot from deep in the trees on his final hole to salvage bogey, he was happy to have a share of the lead. Mickelson was tied with Brian Davis, who made a 25-foot birdie putt on the last hole to join him at 8-under 63.
�What Phil did today was pretty impressive,� Woods said after a 68 that only seemed worse considering the company he kept.
Masters champion Adam Scott, rounding out the trio pairing, struggled to a 73 and joked that he rolled out of the wrong side of the bed. �I wish could have gotten in their jet stream,� Scott said.
Mickelson did everything right.
He started his round on the TPC Boston by making birdie putts of 20 feet on No. 10 and 30 feet on No. 11. He ended the front nine with five straight birdies, only the second nine-hole score of 28 on the PGA Tour this year. And even after a bogey from the bunker on No. 1, he hit a 6-iron from 213 yards that settled just more than a foot away for eagle on the next hole. That put him at 8 under for his round with seven holes to play.
�It was a good start,� Mickelson said. �I got off to a great front nine and somewhat stalled on the back. But after shooting 7 under the first nine, it was going to be a good round as long as I didn�t mess it up.�
He tried. Mickelson ended his brilliant round with two words: �Oh, no.� He hit a snap-hook off the ninth tee, so far right that it missed the fairway by some 40 yards and went so deep in the woods that fans could barely see Mickelson ducking and weaving through the branches to find his ball.
He decided against a one-shot penalty drop out of the lateral hazard, fearing the slope would roll the ball too close to the branches and restrict his swing.
�Just give me an 8- or a 9-iron,� he told his caddie, Jim �Bones� Mackay. He was ready to hack away when his caddie reminded him the gallery was still in the way. Choking well up the grip, flattening the swing to avoid limbs, Mickelson chopped it out to the rough and still had 210 yards left. He knocked that one on the green and two-putted for his bogey and a 63.
Kevin Stadler birdied his last four holes for a 64.
Sergio Garcia, Hunter Mahan and Roberto Castro were in the group at 65. Rory McIlroy opened with a 70, which he said was the worst score he could have shot.
It was at the Deutsche Bank Championship in 2007 when Mickelson first got over the mental hurdle of playing with Woods, his longtime nemesis. He said swing coach Butch Harmon, who formerly worked with Woods, gave him a few tips about playing with the world�s No. 1 player, which relaxed Mickelson.
In the 15 rounds they have played together since, Mickelson has a 9-5-1 advantage in posting the lower score. He has shot the better score all five times in the final round, three of those leading to wins.
Mickelson had said Woods �brings out the best in me� on Thursday after his pro-am round. When asked about that again after his 63, Lefty smiled and said, �After today, it�s hard to think any differently.�
Woods referred to the course as �gettable,� the same description he gave of Muirfield when Mickelson shot 66 on the final day to win the British Open, considered one of the great closing rounds in a major. That was the case, though. The TPC Boston was soft enough � and the fairways wide enough � to allow some low numbers.
Woods said his back felt fine, and there were no outward indications he was in any pain. The only thing that hurt was not hitting enough shots close for birdie chances and missing a few at the end. Woods had a 6-foot birdie putt on the seventh and a downhill birdie putt from about 12 feet on his last hole. He missed both of them.

Good Housekeeping's "New Cooking" was published in 1964 and the cover couldn't scream "1960s" any louder if it tried! It's hard to believe, but the couple on the cover could be well into their seventies now! The back cover shows their swanky and covetable kitchen/diner. At the time it was probably cutting edge but now looks rather kitsch and retro. I suppose all our kitchens will look that out of date in 50 years' time!
As soon as I found this gem of book, priced at a meagre 50p, on a second hand bookstall in my local market I knew it was coming home with me. What instantly struck me was that, even though the book acknowledges that young couples are likely to both work, matters of running the household and cooking fall squarely on the wife's shoulders.
One section is brilliantly titled "how much will he eat?" and provides guidance as to the quantities of food you should give your husband. No offence to the fragrant and delightful Mr CC, but I would not look forward to an evening where I had given him ½ lb of cabbage for dinner!
All the feminists out there will love the section titled, "Wife at work". For your entertainment I shall quote directly: "the career-wife really has to put her back into the catering problem, or she will find herself eternally serving fish fingers and frozen peas." Feeling a bit of a bristle yet? Let me continue: "Try to organise some of your cooking ahead. An hour's baking on Saturday can provide flan cases for mid-week puddings, a meat or fruit pie for Monday or Tuesday, a fruity cake to eat with coffee instead of having to make a sweet."
The chapter covering entertaining does at least manage to patronise both the husband and wife: "Slick cooperation between husband and wife makes all the difference to smooth running dinner parties...and it you have trained him to make the coffee and to wash up afterwards – well, good for you!"
This is actually a really good cook book packed with some lovely and unusual recipes. I found it hard to select just one for this post but eventually went for the pineapple and walnut cake simply because it uses two of my favourite ingredients.
The recipe was written in ounces so I include those in the listing below. The glace icing is my own addition.
I also made English Madeleines this week; I've made them before (recipe can be found here) but this time used my new Dr Oetker cake release spray. Dariole moulds can be a terror for turning out cakes but they just slid out! Great product.
200g / 7oz unsalted butter, at room temperature
140g / 5oz caster sugar
3 eggs
255g / 9oz self raising flour
225g / 8oz drained canned crushed pineapple – save the juice for the icing
55g / 2oz walnuts, chopped
2 tablespoons warm water
Optional glace icing:
200g/ 7oz icing sugar
3 tablespoons pineapple juice, from the can of pineapple
To decorate: walnut halves
Preheat the oven to 180˚C/ fan oven 160˚C/350˚F/Gas mark 4.
Line a 20cm round springform tin with baking paper.
Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take several minutes so don't skimp and move on too quickly.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating as you go. If the mixture looks like it might curdle add a little of the flour. (If you spent long enough whipping up the butter and sugar, the mix shouldn't curdle).
Fold in the flour.
Stir in the pineapple, walnuts and warm water.
Spoon into the prepared cake tin and level the surface.
Bake for approximately 1 hour – 1 hour 15minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out cleanly.
Place the cake, still in its tin, on a wire rack and leave to cool.
Remove the cake from the tin when it is cool enough to safely handle, and then leave the cake on the wire rack until cool.
The cake will store for several days in an airtight container.
If you wish to make the glace icing simply combine the icing sugar and pineapple juice in a bowl and whisk until you have a thick white icing.
Pour onto the cake, it will run down the sides a little but not too much.
Place walnut halves on top for decoration
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have created.

Interesting speculation from Politico's Ben Smith:
The [Obama-Biden] transition hasn't yet responded to questions about [Illinois Governor] Rod Blagojevich's indictment, but the key question is whether the transition was talking to prosecutors, whether Obama and Valerie Jarrett knew that Blagojevich had offered her the Senate seat in exchange for a labor job, and how she, the transition, or SEIU handled the solicitation of a bribe. (The existence of a transcript suggests that the SEIU official — Andy Stern, the president, had met with Blagojevich just before the election on the subject, though nobody is identified in the complaint — was wearing a wire.)
Smith also notes Obama did not play ball:
One piece of speculation: Jarrett's abrupt withdrawal from consideration for the Senate seat suggests Obama's circle aware of the investigation.
It is clear from the complaint that Obama refused to offer Blagojevich anything for appointing Jarrett.

Strauss-Kahn's House Arrest Lifted as Case Faces Possible Dismissal
The sexual assault case against former International Monetary Fund Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn faced possible collapse Friday after credibility issues arose with the woman who alleged assault against him. The issues resulted in the French politician being released from house arrest.
Prosecutors disclosed the issues with the housekeeper's credibility with the French politician's defense in a meeting on Thursday, The New York Times reported.
The maid had alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Strauss-Kahn in a Manhatten hotel suite in May. Although forensic tests found evidence of a sexual encounter between Strauss-Kahn and the woman, prosecutors said they now do not believe much of what the woman has told them.
The New York Times reported that among the issues raised, was that the 32-year-old housekeeper, who is Guinean, has possible links to people involved in criminal activities, including drug dealing and money laundering.
Strauss-Kahn, 62, had been considered a strong contender for the French presidency before being accused of sexual assault.
The woman's attorney, in a written statement said, "Nothing changes one very important fact, namely, that Dominique Strauss-Kahn violently sexually assaulted the victim inside of that hotel room at the Sofitel."
Strauss-Kahn resigned from his post as managing director of the International Monetary Fund after the accusations were brought against him.
He had been under 24-hour home confinement and wearing an ankle monitor after posting $1 million bail and a $5 million bond.
While prosecutors had not dismissed the case on Friday, Strauss-Kahn will not be free to move throughout the United States, with prosecutors retaining his passport.

Once I decided it would be a good idea to use the cat version on Bo and within minutes, his fur fell out. In clumps. I then started watching the dogs after applying it and either they were trying to scratch the line down their backs or they had little bumps on the skin.
Are your fleas/ticks real bad there? Maybe you can use Nupro, like I do, or some other natural product to keep fleas away.

As formulated in the January, 1989, Hinduism Today article
Help us update this list! Comments for additions, changes, deletions, may be sent to email@example.com We celebrate the passing of our first decade of publication with a compendium of tens, the cosmic number in Hindu thought. There are ten incarnations of Vishnu, ten cardinal directions, ten Yamas and Niyamas, ten Tirumurai scriptures, ten orders of Vedantin monks, ten braids in Siva's hair and ten vital energies. In this spirit, here are ten major trends, ten influential institutions and ten outstanding individuals. It's been a fascinating period of dynamic change for Hindus everywhere. We have reported it all, the good and the not-so-good, major stories and mundane. One thing is certain: With nearly 700 million Hindus all going through our personal and collective karmas, there will be no lack of interesting news and stories in the years ahead. No one can report on it all, but we look forward to continuing the effort!
1. Hindu Meekness to Hindu Pride
Though Swami Vivekananda began this trend a hundred years ago, even up to recent times Hindus were afraid to identify themselves as Hindus, or as members of a particular Hindu sect. Through the effort of many people and organizations, Hindu pride and self-confidence have replaced the self-doubt and timidness instilled during centuries of foreign rule. Native dress becomes fashionable.
2. Village to Global Awareness
Hindus have lived outside of India in countries such as South Africa or Fiji for over a century, but only now are we reaching beyond a limited village worldview, achieving a global consciousness and establishing worldwide communication. Among other results of this trend, Hindus are taking a prominent place among the other world religions in every forum.
3. East Only to East and West
Not only have our people moved from East to West, but our Hindu truths have found welcome homes in many corners of Western life. The civil rights movement, the health/vegetarian movement, the ecumenical movement, the "New Age" movement and the concern for the environment are all deeply affected by Hindu thinking. Subtle Hindu ideas find their way into mainstream world thought.
4. Men Only to Men and Women
Reflecting a global trend among all nations, Hindu women are rapidly becoming more involved at all levels of Hindu religion. Some are influential religious leaders; others are instrumental in running large Hindu organizations. Hindu women are joining the work force and confronting "feminist" issues from an Eastern point of view. They no longer tolerate unfair treatment, such as forced marriages, abuse by their husbands or economic disadvantage.
5. Temple Decline to Temple Revival
Ever since the last Hindu kings lost power, Hindu temples and our priesthood have deteriorated. Right now, we are rediscovering their intrinsic value and religious necessity. Not only are new temples being built in many places outside of India, old temples in India are being renovated and the problems of the priesthood addressed. Likewise, other traditional family observances, e.g. samskaras, are being revitalized.
6. Introverted to Extroverted
Responding to internal pressure and outside threats, Hindus creatively reach out to help and serve others. Various forms of institutionalization and ministry reflect stronger Hindu social consciousness. Our introverted village awareness has extroverted, leading to aggressive (and occasionally violent) solutions to our challenges and difficulties.
7. Limited Tools to Great Resources
Increased literacy in India and the need to teach Hinduism in multi-religious environments in other countries all lead to the development of sophisticated teaching tools--childrentos courses, Hindu schools and universities, academies for art, dance and music, Hindu encyclopedias, Sanskrit studies and more. Talented western scholars provide unexpected resources with unbiased and in-depth studies of Hinduism.
8. Colony to Superpower
India is emerging as the world's newest superpower. This augments Hinduism's new-found strength and unity, just as the success of western countries lent strength and authority to Christianity in the past.
9. Agricultural to Technological
Rapid technological advancement in Asia permanently transforms India and thus Hinduism. India's mastery of nuclear power, space and computers will bring modern conveniences into even remote areas of India with unprecedented speed, bypassing some stages of development experienced in other parts of the world. The broadcasting of the Ramayana throughout India is just one example of how this affects Hinduism.
10. Major Blows to Fewer Setbacks
Sporadic abandonment of Hindu ideals causes localized setbacks, but nothing such as we've suffered in the past. The occasional adoption of violence to achieve some ends is the most obvious compromise of our ideals. Other negative trends include the neglected religious education of children in the West (which has possibly caused the loss of an entire generation); the failure to encompass the inevitable intermarriages outside Hinduism; and the tendency to give up the vegetarian ideal. External hazards may continue along the lines of the failed attacks upon us by "anti-cult" movements and the worldwide confusion caused by non-Hindu Rajneesh.
MEGATRENDS is a term coined by futurologist John Naisbett in 1982 to name the major underlying forces that are transforming society and shaping the future. To formulate these ten Hindu megatrends, we solicited the advice of the following prominent Hindu religious leaders, scholars, priest and business people. Each contributed to our analysis, however, the final conclusions as given above are the responsibility of Hinduism Today alone: Swami Bhasyananda, Vivekananda Vedanta Society, Illinois; Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Arsha Vidya Pitham, Pennsylvania; Swami Parvati Devyashram, Sri Rajarajeshwari Peetham, Pennsylvania; H.H. Sri Swami Satchidananda, Integral Yoga Institute, Virginia; Pundit R. Ravichandran, priest, California; Mr. Vidyasagar Anand, Chairman, European Council of Hindu Organizations, United Kingdom; Dr. Mahesh Mehta, President, Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America, Massachusetts; Dr. S.M. Ponniah, Advisor, Malaysia Hindu Sangum; Dr. David Knipe, Professor of South Asian Studies, University of Wisconsin; Dr. Seshagiri Rao, Professor of Hindu Religion, University of Virginia; Dr. H. Daniel Smith, Professor of Religion, Syracuse University, New York; Mr. Arvind Ghosh, publisher, Texas; Mr. Srikumar Poddar, businessman, Michigan.

For most of my life, I knew I was going to be a writer.
But I didn't know my fifteen-year-old son wanted to be a writer. Not until I saw him working on a story. It wasn't for school. He was writing it just because he felt like it. And he didn't even tell me about it.
Naturally, I asked to read it, and it made me laugh out loud. It needed some work, so I gave him some tips, and when he incorporated those I thought it was actually good enough to be published.
So I did a rewrite, fleshing out the story, adding some jokes, ramping up the suspense.
The result is the first part of a YA serial novel called GRANDMA?
It's Talon's story, characters, and scenes, embellished by Dad.
And it's now available for 99 cents on Amazon.
It was fun writing about zombies, and fun writing with my son. We're hoping to release a new section every few weeks, until it is novel-length.
It also has an afterword by thrilleromedy bestseller Jeff Strand.
When Talon hit the Save and Publish button on KDP, a big smile on his face, I thought about how extraordinary the publishing world has become.
I got my first rejection letter at 18, and wound up garnering more than 500 of them, trying to break into this industry.
Newbie writers, who never worked in the legacy world, have no idea how good they have it right now. It took me a decade of trying to impress the gatekeepers before I got a break. Those were hard, depressing, years where I busted my ass. And then once I finally got published, I spent eight more hard, depressing years busting my ass. I've signed books at over 1200 bookstores in 43 states. I've been to dozens of writing conventions, conferences, and book fairs. When this blog began, I was known as the king of self-promotion, and I spent more of my work week marketing than writing, all while trying to make ends meet with the little amount of money I was making.
In eight years, I made about $350,000 writing. That's about $40k a year, and I spent a lot of that on travelling.
Since 2009, I've made $1.6 million by self-publishing. Not only has it been gratifying, but it's been a lot more fun, and a lot less work, than my legacy years.
Talon makes $40 a week, picking up dog poop. He turns 16 in October, and is looking to buy a car with the money he's been saving for years, and he has talked often about supplementing his allowance with a fast food job in order to get gas money.
If GRANDMA? sells as well as my other short stories, it should make between $2k and $6k a year. But we anticipate there being five parts, all 99 cents, and then that'll be a book we'll sell for $3.99.
I've never done YA before, and I've never done a serial novel released in installments before, and I don't know if the zombie genre still has juice in it, so I don't know how well GRANDMA? will do. But if the series does modest business, Talon has a shot of making more than $40 a week. With a little luck, he could make a few hundred a week. At 15 years old.
Now he obviously has an advantage having me as a father and a co-writer. But if Amazon and Kindle didn't exist, I wouldn't be able to offer him that advantage.
It truly is the best time in history to be a writer. The are no longer any boundaries. You can work with whomever you want to, at your own speed, get paid monthly, write about anything you want, do very little marketing, and still reach readers.
During September, I'll also be releasing nine Jack Daniels tie-in stories, written by writers who followed my franchise guidelines. By 2014 I hope to have several new Jack Daniels novels, written by other writers, self-pubbed and earning.
As writers, we can do whatever we want to. We're only limited by our imaginations.
What an amazing, incredible time to be alive. How lucky we all are.

Great atmosphere, great food, great people, great cause. Really fantastic to be able to cover this event.

AUGUSTA, Ga. - The Georgia College & State University women's soccer team landed nine on the Peach Belt Conference's (PBC) All-Academic Teams, more than any other PBC school, as announced by the conference Nov. 24.
The teams were voted on by sports information directors throughout the conference. To be eligible for the All-Academic team, a student-athlete must participate in at least half of her team's events and be either a starter or significant contributor, achieve a minimum 3.20 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) and completed at least one full academic year at her current institution.
Georgia College had three first team picks, also more than any other PBC team this year. Juniors Jessica Binkowski (Cumming, Ga.) and Ally Treat (Fayetteville, Ga.) earned their first team slots with impressive 3.94 and 3.86 GPAs respectively, while senior Jamie Nevin (Grovetown, Ga.) clenched her spot with a 3.93. This is Treat and Nevin's second-consecutive first team honor. This is Binkowski's second conference All-Academic honor; she was a second team selection last year.
Senior mass communication major Lyric Burnett (Douglasville, Ga.) and junior business major Mary Rob Plunkett (Augusta, Ga.) represented the Bobcats on the All-Academic Second Team. This was the second such honor for both Burnett (3.57 GPA) and Plunkett (3.59).
Seniors Morgan Cobb (Cataula, Ga.) and Kara Teresi (Tampa, Fla.) along with junior Jessica Newland (Hiram, Ga.) and sophomore Megan McAlpin (Newnan, Ga.) hold down the third team for the 'Cats. Again, the Bobcats have more players on this team than the other schools. This marks the first such honor for all four of Georgia College's All-Academic Third Team selections.
Georgia College had more representation in the All-Academic teams with nine than any other PBC opponents. Columbus State University had seven players chosen, while Armstrong Atlantic State University had six named to the four teams. The nine matched the number on these team's last year for Bobcat soccer.
Despite a difficult schedule, this was the third-straight double-digit win season for the Bobcats. Georgia College continues to be one of the top teams in the Peach Belt, suffering just one loss in PBC play, and landing six players to the All-PBC teams this season, more than any other school.
The GCSU Department of Athletics, winners of the 2008-09 PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, GCSU prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at Twitter.com username GCSUSID for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCSUBobcats.com to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GCSU Athletics Hall of Fame.
