In a weekly radio address on Sunday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg warns a strike by the City school bus driver's union remains a strong possibility.
The following is excerpted from the address, with details of what to expect and how parents of affected students can prepare:
"Last year, we bid out contracts for pre-school bus routes, and the new contracts will save taxpayers $95 million over five years; that's money we are putting back into classrooms, where it's needed most," said Bloomberg.
"This year, we're bidding out contracts for another 1,100 bus routes that serve children with special needs. But the school bus drivers' union is demanding that the new contracts include job protections the City is not legally allowed to provide. So there's nothing the City can do to meet the union's demands"
In the event of a strike, the following is the plan the City has put in place to help all affected students get to school.
- Students who currently receive yellow school bus service can get a temporary MetroCard valid as long as the strike continues. They will be available at schools and should be requested through the school's general office.
- Parents of children in grades K-2 can request an additional MetroCard to escort their child to school. So can parents of children who require transportation from their homes directly to their school.
- Parents of children in grades K-6 who get yellow bus service and for whom public transportation to school is not an option can get reimbursed for transportation costs.
- If they decide to drive their children to school, they'll be reimbursed at a rate of 55 cents per mile. If they use a taxi or car service, they'll be reimbursed after completing a form available in their schools.
- Students who arrive at school late because of disruptions to yellow bus service will be excused for up to two hours. Children who are unable to attend school because of disruptions to yellow bus service will be marked absent with an explanation code that will ensure their attendance record is not negatively affected.
- Afterschool programs will remain open, but no school busing will be provided.
Parents can call 311 for questions or more information.

This document is an older, unmaintained guide. There may be a new guide available for this software.
MySQL is a popular database management system, used as the data storage provider for thousands of web and server applications. This guide will help beginners get started with MySQL on a Fedora 13 Linux VPS. For purposes of this tutorial, it is assumed that you've followed the steps outlined in our getting started guide, that your system is up to date, and that you've logged into your Linode as root via SSH.
Make sure your /etc/hosts file has proper entries, similar to the ones shown below:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
18.104.22.168 servername.mydomain.com servername
Be sure to substitute your Linode's public IP address for "22.214.171.124" in the example above.
Issue the following commands to update your system and install MySQL:
yum update yum install mysql-server /sbin/chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
The MySQL server package will be installed on your server, along with dependencies and client libraries. Start MySQL by running the following command:
service mysqld start
After installing MySQL, it's recommended that you run mysql_secure_installation, a program that helps secure MySQL. While running mysql_secure_installation, you will be presented with the opportunity to change the MySQL root password, remove anonymous user accounts, disable root logins outside of localhost, and remove test databases. It is recommended that you answer yes to these options. If you are prompted to reload the privilege tables, select yes. Run the following command to execute the program:
By default, MySQL makes some assumptions about your server environment with respect to memory. To configure MySQL more conservatively, you'll need to edit some settings in its configuration file. Your file should resemble the following:
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
key_buffer = 16M
max_allowed_packet = 1M
thread_stack = 64K
table_cache = 4
sort_buffer = 64K
net_buffer_length = 2K
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
These settings are only suggested values for a low memory environment; please feel free to tune them to appropriate values for your server. Consult the "More Information" section at the end of this tutorial for additional resources for this topic.
If you made any changes to MySQL's configuration, issue the following command to restart it:
service mysqld restart
MySQL will bind to localhost (127.0.0.1) by default. Please reference our secure MySQL remote access guide for information on connecting to your databases with local clients.
Allowing unrestricted access to MySQL on a public IP not advised, but you may change the address it listens on by modifying the bind-address parameter. If you decide to bind MySQL to your public IP, you should implement firewall rules that only allow connections from specific IP addresses.
The standard tool for interacting with MySQL is the mysql client program. To get started, issue the following command at your prompt:
mysql -u root -p
You will be prompted to enter the root MySQL user's password. Enter the password you assigned when you installed MySQL, and you'll be presented with the MySQL monitor display:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 4 Server version: 5.1.48 Source distribution Copyright (c) 2000, 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is free software, and you are welcome to modify and redistribute it under the GPL v2 license Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement. mysql>
To generate a list of commands for the MySQL prompt, type \h:
List of all MySQL commands: Note that all text commands must be first on line and end with ';' ? (\?) Synonym for `help'. clear (\c) Clear command. connect (\r) Reconnect to the server. Optional arguments are db and host. delimiter (\d) Set statement delimiter. NOTE: Takes the rest of the line as new delimiter. edit (\e) Edit command with $EDITOR. ego (\G) Send command to mysql server, display result vertically. exit (\q) Exit mysql. Same as quit. go (\g) Send command to mysql server. help (\h) Display this help. nopager (\n) Disable pager, print to stdout. notee (\t) Don't write into outfile. pager (\P) Set PAGER [to_pager]. Print the query results via PAGER. print (\p) Print current command. prompt (\R) Change your mysql prompt. quit (\q) Quit mysql. rehash (\#) Rebuild completion hash. source (\.) Execute an SQL script file. Takes a file name as an argument. status (\s) Get status information from the server. system (\!) Execute a system shell command. tee (\T) Set outfile [to_outfile]. Append everything into given outfile. use (\u) Use another database. Takes database name as argument. charset (\C) Switch to another charset. Might be needed for processing binlog with multi-byte charsets. warnings (\W) Show warnings after every statement. nowarning (\w) Don't show warnings after every statement. For server side help, type 'help contents' mysql>
Let's create a database and assign a user to it. Issue the following commands at the MySQL prompt:
CREATE DATABASE testdb; CREATE USER 'testuser'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'CHANGEME'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON testdb.* TO 'testuser'@localhost; exit
Now let's log back into the MySQL client as testuser and create a sample table called "customers." Issue the following commands:
mysql -u testuser -p USE testdb; CREATE TABLE customers (customer_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, first_name TEXT, last_name TEXT); exit
This creates a table with a customer ID field of the type INT for integer (auto-incremented for new records, used as the primary key), as well as two fields for storing the customer's name. Of course, you'd probably want to store much more information than this for a customer, but it's a good example of a common case nonetheless.
If you've forgotten your root MySQL password, you may recover it by issuing the following commands:
service mysqld stop mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables & mysql -u root
The following part of the password reset will now be done within the MySQL client program:
USE mysql; UPDATE user SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD("CHANGEME") WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; exit
Last, restart MySQL by issuing the following command:
service mysqld restart

Port charges are included in your itinerary.
The Disney Fantasy is a regal cruise liner featuring 14 towering decks, a ship length of 1,115 feet and a maximum width of 125 feet, the 130,000-ton vessel includes 1,250 staterooms and has the capacity to comfortably accommodate 4,000 passengers—along with the over 1450 Cast and Crew Members who tend to the needs of every cruise Guest each and every day. The Disney Fantasy is a majestic sailing vessel where early 20th-century design—recalling the golden age of cruising—meets state-of-the-art technology. As can be expected from Disney, the cruise liner was specially designed with families in mind, combining sleek style and convenient facilities with splashes of Disney magic.
Today is a full day spent relaxingly at sea. Entertainment aboard the Disney Fantasy, including spectacular musical live shows and first-run movies in 3-D, is available at a number of lavish onboard venues each day of your cruise—and is unlike anything else offered on the high seas.
Grand Cayman is the largest of the three Cayman Islands and the location of the nation's capitol, George Town. Grand Cayman Island consists of six districts: Bodden Town, East End, George Town, North Side, Sister Islands, and West Bay. Because of its clubs, resorts, and hotels, Seven Mile Beach has the largest concentration of visitors and tourists on the island. Watersports such as scuba diving and snorkeling are among the most popular activities on Grand Cayman as the island is known for its coral reefs and underwater sea walls along with a number of shipwrecks. As well, Grand Cayman Island also has a number of natural attractions: the blow holes in the East End district, the Mastic Trail that runs north to south through the center of the island, Hell in the West Bay, and the acclaimed Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, to name a few.
Costa Maya is a small tourist regionin the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, the only state with Caribbean Sea. The Costa Maya includes two small villages − Mahahual and Xcalak. While Xcalak is approximately 60 km south of the Costa Maya cruise port, the fishing village of Mahahual is only about 3 km away. Mahahual has soft sand beaches, grass thatched palapas, and a coral reef a short distance off-shore called Banco Chinchorro, as well as several bars, restaurants, and shops.
Cancún, Cozumel, and Isla Mujeres were once little more than sleepy villages, but now these Caribbean Coast resorts are world renowned for their vacation facilities. South of Cancún is the prized beach resort of Cozumel, with its extraordinary coral reefs, gentle currents and exceptional diving.
Spend this day at sea poolside, as pools aboard the Disney Fantasy are terrific places to cool down and relax on sun-kissed afternoons. You'll find 3 sparkling pools- one for kids, one for families, and one just for adults. Another fun option for the youngsters is the opportunity to have a greeting from one of the Disney characters. Later in the evening, nightclubs and lounges fill nights at sea with live music, dancing and socializing.
'Castaway Cay' is a private island in the Bahamas which serves as an exclusive port for the Disney Cruise Line ships. It is located near Great Abaco Island, and was formerly known as Gorda Cay. It is owned in full by The Walt Disney Company, giving them substantial control over the experience of visitors to the island. The island is developed in the theme of a castaway community, with buildings made to look as if they had been improvised after a shipwreck. The facilities are maintained like any other Disney theme park, and the shops accept guests' stateroom keys for payment.
This morning you'll disembark from your cruise vessel, as your magical voyage has concluded. Bid farewell to your favourite Disney characters as you leave.

Southwest ND – Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus (09/12/13)
This past growing season we had very few reports of wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) in winter or spring wheat. The question then is since WSMV incidence was so low this past growing season can we abandon good management practices that reduce the risk of the crop contracting this disease? The short answer is no and especially no this year. The silver lining from the dry conditions experienced late last summer and on into the fall is that Mother Nature enforced a break in the green bridge for the 17 to 21 days that we need before winter wheat emerges in southwest North Dakota. Several producers seeded in early- to mid-September last year into dry soils hoping to pick up enough rain to germinate the crop. We did not receive significant rainfall over most of southwestern North Dakota until October 7. WSMV and wheat curl mite host plants such as volunteer wheat, corn, grassy annual weeds, and some of the perennial grasses were absent or dried down several weeks prior to winter wheat emergence. Since most winter wheat seed was placed into dry soil at planting in southwest North Dakota, germination did not occur until after the October 7 rain. Even with early planting last year it was as if producers had not planted until October 7. Even with late germination and emergence most producers realized adequate stands in the spring and good growing conditions to produce a respectable winter wheat crop.
This fall we have a number of factors favoring WSMV transmission and increased risk of infection and severity of the disease. These factors include: 1) Many recently harvested wheat fields are green or will be green shortly with volunteer wheat and grassy weeds. 2) There are still a few late seeded spring wheat fields that are green. 3) Increased acreage of corn planted this year, some of it planted later than normal and these fields are still green. 4) Host plants in pastures, range, and ditches are still green and growing. 5) Winter wheat plantings are likely to increase since producers want to seed something on prevented plant acres going into the winter as well as moisture conditions are generally better than they were last year. The temptation for producers is to plant winter wheat early on prevented plant acres before the next rain makes it impossible to cross with equipment. This past week's 4 to 9 inch (yes 9 inches south of Bowman) downpours in parts of southwest ND may have already closed the door for planting during the NDSU recommended planting window.
What strategies should winter wheat growers use to reduce the risk of the winter wheat crop becoming infected with WSMV? Since insecticides as well as miticides are ineffective in controlling wheat curl mites that transmit the disease and fungicides don't work in controlling viral diseases such as WSMV, growers will need to use management practices such as sanitation and time planting to avoid disease transmission of WSMV from live, green host plants to the winter wheat crop. Breaking the green bridge is extremely important in controlling this disease. The recommendation is to kill all volunteer wheat and grassy weeds at least two weeks prior to planting. Some agronomist advise that all volunteer wheat and grassy weeds be controlled ten days prior to winter wheat emergence but conditions must be ideal for this shorten break in the green bridge to be effective. Wheat curl mites will survive away from a live host plant for up to about 19 days. Delaying planting until after a 14 day period when all volunteer wheat and grassy weeds are killed will provide sufficient time prior to winter wheat emergence to starve out wheat curl mites that are not desiccated by weather conditions. Growers should also kill volunteer wheat and grassy weeds in adjacent fields even if these fields are not to be planted to winter wheat. If the field to be seeded to winter wheat is next to a corn field or a green, late planted spring wheat field, delay planting winter wheat until 14 days after the husks around the ears have dried or the late planted spring wheat has matured. Corn is a host for both WSMV as well as for the wheat curl mite. Wheat curl mites on corn plants are generally found on the husk that surrounds the ear. Wheat curl mites migrate off of corn looking for a suitable host when corn husks begin to dry down. Delaying seeding to the end of the normal planting window will reduce the chances of WSMV being transmitted to emerging winter wheat plants. In southwest North Dakota the suggested planting window is September 15 – 30. Winter wheat planted on September 30 into moist soil at Dickinson will provide sufficient growing degree days to germinate and develop to the three leaf stage, the stage of development in winter wheat where winter hardiness is maximized.
Growers have planted later under no-till systems with good residue coverage and as we saw last year when Mother Nature delayed germination and emergence until after October 7 of winter wheat seeded prior to that date respectable grain yields were produced with little risk of WSMV.

South-Central ND (09/12/13)
The region's rainfall during September 1 to 9, based on NDAWN stations, ranges from 0.6 inches at Fingal to 3.2 inches at Tappen. The recent rain will help existing soybean and corn seed to fill and hopefully have near normal test weight. Accumulated corn growing degree day units (GDDU) on September 9 for corn planted on May 15 ranged from 1830 at Carrington to 2170 at Oakes. For this period, the region's GDDU are 80 to 190 ahead of the 5-year average. We still need a delay in the first killing frost date to be at or beyond October 1 for the majority of grain corn to reach full maturity.
Small grain harvest is nearly complete. Winter and spring wheat yields are favorable and quality generally good. For example, some winter wheat variety trials have yields that reached 100 bu/acre. The CREC dryland HRS wheat variety trial averaged 54.6 bu/acre and 63.2 lb/bu. Most corn fields are denting (R5 stage). The adverse growing conditions (deficient soil moisture and high air temperatures) during the second half of August may have reduced corn grain yield by 50%. Soybeans generally are in the R6 to R7 stages (nearing full seed size to initial maturity). Pinto beans planted through mid-June are nearing or are at full maturity (R8 to R9 stages).

Preparing Trees for Winter Checklist (09/12/13)
Preparing Trees for Winter Checklist
With the coming of fall it is important to remember to prepare your trees for the tough North Dakota winter. The following checklist serves as a reminder of the most important considerations for fall tree care and proper tree winterization.
- Water trees weekly in late fall until freeze-up. Two gallons per inch of stem diameter is recommended, if the soil is dry at a depth of six inches. This will help prevent winter dieback.
- Rake up and remove/destroy fallen leaves. This is the best thing you can do to reduce the amount of fungal leaf disease next year (many fungal leaf diseases overwinter on leaf litter).
- Prune dead wood to decrease overwintering sites for tree diseases and insect pests.
- Wait until the tree is dormant (at least November) to prune living branches, always using proper technique.
- Wrap the lower main stem of trees that have not developed thick bark to protect them from sun scald and rodent feeding damage.
- Wrap burlap around smaller, high-value (landscape) conifers or set up a burlap sun/wind shield to help minimize the chances of winter burn.
- Throughout winter, use caution when applying ice melt products near trees and shrubs. Salts and other chemicals contained in some products may cause harm.
By completing this checklist you will be doing your part to maximize the chances that your trees will make it through the winter in good health and will be ready for a productive growing season.

Dealing with Non-Conventional Soil and Fertilizer Amendments (09/12/13)
Dealing with Non-Conventional Soil and Fertilizer Amendments
Not that many years ago, the standard method for introducing a product was research and development. Now, most of the products introduced as soil or fertilizer amendments are development and maybe research. And if the research does not support the product use, just ignore it.
The recent high crop prices have spawned a large number of products, from micronutrients, products with elements not even required for plants, growth regulators of all kinds and formulations, biological activators, N enhancement products, phosphate additives, phosphate supply stimulants, soil conditioners, legume nodule enhancers and seed inoculants. To prove efficacy of any of these products would require careful field research by unbiased University researchers at multiple sites within the region of sale, with the site choices based on major soils of the region. Unfortunately, most of these products have no field research associated with them of this type. Some of those that have conducted this research (mostly after the products went to market), have ignored research that did not support their use. So what should a person or company do with these products?
I would suggest two lines of action; not necessarily either/or:
First, put the North Central Region Committee on Non-Conventional Amendments and Additives on your computer 'favorite' bar. This committee webpage is a great asset for finding product performance from unbiased sources, or at least finding research results from the category of products where the 'new' product would fit.
You can search the trade name of the product. Since some products change their name over time from their original state (i.e. the active P agent in TagTeam™ used to be called Provide by another company), searching by product category would include all research on those groups of products (in this case, search phosphate enhancer, or Pennicilium bilajii). If the research has been highly supportive, then use of the product would be a good choice. If research did not support the use of the product, then not using the product, or at most trying it on a simple series of small test strips (not testing it on 10,000 acres of fields) would be a good choice.
The second course of action is a logical, but currently radical idea- don't use a product unless the company first conducts the proper R&D. Why should a retail supplier or more importantly a farmer have to be the guinea pig? Why can't the company that manufactures or distributes the product do the hard research work to support its sale? Why can't we use products that actually conduct R&D? No one uses a herbicide, or other IPM product without knowing that it was thoroughly tested for efficacy before-hand. The retailer can sell the product with confidence and the farmer can use it with the confidence. If a herbicide has pigweed on the label, at least some effect on pigweed would be expected. Many non-conventional amendments cost the same or more than a herbicide application, but they want the farmer to be the guinea pig. Is this good business? I guess it is for the manufacturer.
So my recommendation to distributors, retailers, consultants and farmers is "Show me the Soil Facts!" If there are nothing more than testimonials and in-house research in the brochures, then don't stock it, sell it or buy it. If there is sound University research that supports the product use at multiple locations and, better, multiple years within the region, then the product can be used with more confidence.
As the North Dakota State University representative to the North Central Non-conventional Additives and Amendments committee, I welcome any information regarding new and unusual products that are being sold in the region. Just send me a copy of any literature they have and I will respond with my take on the product or its product category and I will share the information with my colleagues at our November meeting.

Ear Rot Disease Concerns At Harvest For A Corn Grower In ND (09/12/13)
Ear Rot Disease Concerns At Harvest For A Corn Grower In ND
Keeping in view of the weather and insurance concerns, growers should keep an eye out for corn ear rots at harvest.
Corn is known to be susceptible to a number of ear- and kernel-rotting fungi that affect the yield, quality, and feeding value of the grain. In North Dakota, ear rot occurrence has been mild to date and losses can vary greatly between years and regions.
Types of ear rot and their identification:
Aspergillus: This ear rot is generally of minor importance before harvest. However, Aspergillus infections often follow drought stress, damage done by corn earworms, European corn borers and other insects. Aspergillus might also cause serious losses in stored corn, on the ear or shelled. Typical symptom of Aspergillus rot is an olive green tan, sooty-black or greenish yellow mold growing on and between the kernels (Figure 1). Damage is most common at or near the tip of the ear. Silk infection is favored by high day and night temperatures.
Gibberella: Pinkish mycelia can be seen growing from the tip of the cob, which is a typical identification symptom of this rot. Cool wet weather during silking favors infection (Figure 2).
Fusarium: A salmon colored individual kernel is characteristic for this ear rot. Infection is favored by heat and insect stress. The occurrence of this fungi increases when harvest is delayed beyond physiological maturity (Figure 3)
Penicillium: Blue-green mold (Figure 4) on and in between kernels is found particularly on ears injured mechanically or by corn earworms and European corn borers. Additionally, colonized kernels are frequently bleached and streaked. Damage usually occurs at the tip of the ear, but may be found on other parts.
Diplodia: Infection usually starts at the base of the ear or from the stalk into the shank. Characteristics of this ear rot are white fungal growth between kernels, and black specks seen on the cob occasionally. Infection is favored by early dry weather and wet weather late in the growing season (Figure 5).
Cladosporium: Symptoms often appear after an early frost and include the development of dark, greenish black, blotched or streaked kernels scattered over the ear (Figure 6). The black discoloration of the kernels proceeds toward the crown in more or less irregular streaks. The fungus may also invade crowns damaged by growth cracks. Further rotting may occur during storage.
Ear rots can be classified into two groups:
- Toxin producing ear rots:
Gibberella, Fusarium (vomitoxin, zearalenone, trichothecene and fumonisin), Aspergillus (aflatoxin), and Penicillium (ochratoxin)
- Non-Toxin producing ear rots:
Diplodia and Cladosporium
Past History of Ear rot occurrence in ND:
A preliminary survey on common corn ear rots in 2009 was conducted by Dr. Marcia McMullen and reported that Cladosporium was the predominant ear rot followed by Fusarium. The toxin levels in Fusarium infected ears were generally lower than the FDA acceptance levels (Personal communication: Dr. Marcia McMullen, Professor emeritus).
What should a concerned grower do?
I would recommend opening up a field and harvesting a strip to make it easy to sample. Walk down the edge of the strip and check for ear rots.
After scouting if you see indications of any ear rots contact your crop insurance agent for instructions. They will probably need to collect an official sample or may indicate to leave a test strip. You need to prove the ear rots/toxin occurred in the field and not in the bin in order to have a legitimate crop insurance claim.
Best management practices to minimize ear rot/toxin issues:
Adjust combine to minimize kernel damage and remove fines and debris. Do not allow wet grain to sit in wagons and trucks overnight.
If storing on-farm, run grain through a cleaner or screen before putting in the bin or dryer, if you have access to cleaner immediately dry to 15%, if you are planning long term storage then dry to 13%. As weather permits, cool the grain as quickly as possible. Aerate as needed to keep temperature and moisture in the grain mass equalized.
North Dakota State University Plant diagnostic lab at Fargo has options for testing these ear rot pathogens. Please refer to the following NDSU website for further information: http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/cornmold
Toxin levels:
The mycotoxin risk levels for dairy cattle, expressed on a total ration, dry-matter basis.
- DON (vomitoxin): less than 5 to 6 parts per million
- Fumonisin: less than 25 ppm million
- T-2 toxin (trichothecene): less than 100 to 200 parts per billion
- Zearalenone: less than 300 parts per billion
- Aflatoxin: less than 20 parts per billion
If grain exceeds toxin levels but is below the 300 ppb, it might still be used in livestock feed. Some elevators may have arrangements in place with large feeders and may take the grain and keep it segregated. The FDA action limits for animal feed vary depending on the type of livestock, dairy-20ppb, breeding livestock and poultry-100ppb, finishing swine over 100 lbs-200ppb, and finishing beef cattle-300ppb. Additional information on FDA acceptable toxin levels can be found in the websites:
Utilizing affected grain:
If it is below FDA levels, it can be sold to local livestock producers, generally at a discounted price. Toxin will not show up in ethanol from infected grain, but will be in the by-products that producers normally sell for livestock or pet feed. Therefore, acceptance by ethanol producers may be reduced and at a discounted price. As last resort, nutrients in the grain can be recycled by land application of contaminated grain. However, this may cause weed issues in the coming year.

Soil Sampling For Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) (09/12/13)
Soil Sampling For Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN)
Soil samples for cysts require a different test than a fertility sample. It is important to treat the SCN soil sample with care and get the sample to the lab as soon as possible. Although cysts are tough, they are still living creatures and do not do well in the sun in a truck for week. Private and public labs can do cyst tests (Agvise, NDSU, UMN, etc.).
For more information about SCN sampling, an excellent youtube video by Dr. Greg Tylka at Iowa State.
Also, the website www.planthealth.info has excellent information about SCN, sample techniques, and other diseases.

Impact of End of Season Drought on Corn 2013 (09/12/13)
Impact of End of Season Drought on Corn 2013
The end of the growing season for corn is fast approaching. At this point, it appears likely that we will make it to the end of September without a hard killing frost. Moreover, current climate predictions seem to indicate that October and November will be warmer than normal. This is great news for the drying of the corn crop prior to harvest. Though we started the season with concerns about corn not reaching maturity before the first killing frost, for much of the state our concerns are now focused on the lack of moisture determining the end of the effective cropping season. The impacts of drought on a corn crop are more gradual than that of a hard frost (temperatures below 28 degrees). Drought stress begins by reducing photosynthesis as the stoma close and leaves begin to curl. As this stress continues, the lower leaves begin to die and ultimately the entire plant can be killed. During this process, stored carbohydrates and other nutrients are moved from the lower leaves and the stem into the developing kernels. When stored and newly synthesized carbohydrates are not sufficient to support the development of all the kernels in the cob, the uppermost kernels stop growing (see following photo). Depending on their stage of development, these kernels may be so small that they will be blown out the back of the combine. Those large enough to not be lost during combining will be smaller than normal and have low test weight.
About half of the crop is now in the dent stage. Generally when a crop gets to this stage, we are not overly concerned about the impact of drought stress on yield. However, this year, since the drought stress started well before this stage of development, continued stress has the potential to dramatically impact yield. In fact, 40% of the total kernel weight is yet to be added to kernels in the dent stage. Therefore, even the kernels at the lower end of the cob will likely fail to fully fill and will have low test weight at harvest. The recent rain brought relief from severe drought stress in much of the state, but for many farms it came too late to have much of an impact on the corn crop. Crops with few or no green leaves will not benefit from these recent rains.
In addition to its impact on yield, drought stress affects stalk quality. Severely stressed crops will be prone to lodging (see attached photo of lodged corn plants near Fargo). Additionally, ear drop can become more problematic in some hybrids after severe drought. Plan to harvest your most severely stressed fields first, and probably sooner than you would normally plan to, in order to minimize losses associated with downed plants or dropped ears.

Keeping Dry Bean Seed Is Risky (09/12/13)
Keeping Dry Bean Seed Is Risky
There are many seed-borne diseases of dry beans; bacterial blights, Anthracnose, and bacterial wilt to name a few. If you keep seed that is infected with one of the pathogens causing these diseases, you greatly increase your likelihood of having an epidemic in the future. Much of the state has experienced greater-than-normal levels of bacterial blights (halo and common primarily), bacterial wilt was also reported, and even though we don't have a confirmation of Anthracnose, it has been problematic in the past and it may be kicking around in low levels. Unfortunately, many of the seed-borne pathogens are ones that are not well-controlled by fungicide seed treatments. Although it may be economically tempting to save seed, if that seed is infected it can create an economic problem when conditions are conducive to epidemic development. We encourage you to plant disease-free seed in 2014.

Direct Harvesting Dry Beans (09/12/13)
Direct Harvesting Dry Beans
Direct harvest reduces equipment investment, harvest time, and operational costs. However, direct harvesting may result in reduced seed yield and quality if certain factors are not taken into account. Direct harvesting has become more popular in recent years, especially for navy and black beans, due to their more upright architecture. Some of the new pinto and great northern cultivars also have an improved upright architecture and still keep competitive seed yields.
Field surveys at harvest time were conducted in 2006 and 2007 across three counties in the Devils Lake region in North Dakota. The average seed loss was higher for direct harvesting than for the conventional method (undercut and windrowed prior to combining). The seed losses were mainly due to larger seed and pod loss measured in the area between combine harvest swaths. This indicates losses occurred at the cutterbar.
The top three conventionally harvested fields averaged 24 pounds per acre (lb/A) of harvest loss, while the three worst fields averaged 219 lb/A of harvest loss. The top three direct-harvested fields averaged 101 lb/A of harvest loss, while the three worst fields averaged 347 lb/A of harvest loss.
These surveys suggest that direct harvest loss can be lowered significantly by improving management conditions, such as equipment setup and operator care, especially at harvest.
Experiments were conducted (Carrington and Prosper, N.D., in 2008 and Carrington and Hatton, N.D., in 2009) to evaluate seed yield of commonly grown cultivars in North Dakota and Minnesota under conditions of conventional and direct harvest.
As expected, the seed loss was significantly higher under direct harvest. Harvested yield, under direct harvest, for the cultivars Lariat (pinto), T-39 and Eclipse (black), and Vista (navy) showed the lowest yield loss when compared with the other cultivars within the same market class.
This research emphasized the important role of cultivar and environmental conditions at harvest time in determining the seed yield under direct harvest. Cultivar selection should not be based only on yield potential but also on architectural attributes leading to a minimal yield loss if the direct-harvest method is used. Growers need to consider the cultivar, environmental conditions, seed moisture at harvest, proper equipment setup, and operator skill when deciding on the harvest method to use.

Sampled on tap at the Brewgrass festival in Asheville, North Carolina. Consumed on 09/20/2008 and reviewed from notes taken at the time.
The pour was very nice with a rich and very hazy looking pale golden yellow. Almost opaque with the cloudiness, just as the style should be. A small puff of white came up over the top and settled down effortlessly into a small, but stable layer that hung around for the rest of the session whilst providing a good amount of side glass lacing. The carbonation was tremendous as it came bubbling up toward the surface on this one.
The aroma was one of the highlights of the festival for me. Light, airy, but very fragrant, almost a summertime showstopper. Rich notes of banana and clove, highlighted with that all too familiar bubblegum like hint that wraps itself into only the best of wheat beers. The lemongrass was definitely apparent, more so at first, as it warmed it took a back seat to the more sustainable fruit aromas that dominated the profile. This was especially true in the flavor. Light, bubbly, just wonderfully crisp at the same time. Started with a delicate rush of lemon, nothing too bitter or tart, rather it was delicate and light, almost peppery. This blended well with the banana like flavor that followed it, hints of cloves, and almost what seemed to me to be like a heather flavor followed. Extremely flavorful. Light feel was complimented wonderfully by more the adequate carbonation that really let the flavors pop, but had enough of a coating effect to let you hold onto to the last grasps of flavor. Quick, clean, and wonderfully complex this was an easy session beer and I found myself back for this one more then once.
This was in my top 5 for the festival for sure. It was without a doubt, the wheat beer gone right. This really just showed off very well what can be done with a style that comes over to be all too bland at times. I would have no issue with going back for this one time and again.

Shared by yourefragile last night because ticking is something that has to happen.
Beer is yellow and mostly clear with a soft white head some lacing on the glass, moderate to high carbonation, low retention.
Aroma is sweet, a little lemony, a little grassy, smells fine.
Beer is better than I expected, refreshing, pushes into the radler sort of thing but without the cloying sweetness of a radler. I enjoyed my share of this bottle but had better beers to get to, I may even have this again in the future if that is at all possible.

A weizen glass served at the brewpub.
A: The ale, described as a hefe with a potent dose of lemongrass, has the hazy look of a weizen, only a few shades darker. The ale, of course, is opaque. Legs ensue but not much lacing.
S: The nose is all lemongrass. If you don't like the sweet pungency, go no further! I've evolved since my growler review almost 4 years ago and now I really dig the complexity. For PA locals, think Bullfrog's Thai PA and it's lemongrass aspect.
T: Pow! Described as a hefe, I'd never know that a hefe lurks underneath. The entire glass is dominated by the sweet lemongrass flavors, strong but not cloying. If you are unaccustomed to lemongrass, you may think that a small dose of lime made its way into the glass along with the lemon. Each sip consistently delivers the lemongrass with a blast of flavor. Nicely done.
M: A fruity wonderland that is bold and refreshing. Lemongrass, in these quantities, is normally ill-advised but OBBS makes it work.
D: A pint doesn't do the ale justice, several pints at the brewpubs bar are the best means of enjoying this delicious wheat ale.

500ml bottle purchased straight from the source and poured into a pub style glass. The brew appears a clouded golden color with streaming bubbles that makes for a white froth atop that retains well. Strings of webby lace stick to the glassware.
The smell is composed of wheat, clove, lemon, and more fruit quality almost like pear/apple/banana and a light candy quality sweetness follows that up.
The taste is sweet with wheat and cereal grain. A mild almost belgian candy sugar aspect mixes with clove, lemon zest, pear, apple and bubblegum. Contrasting is a mildly herbal hop flavoring.
This is a medium to light bodied brew with a modest to effervescent level of carbonation. It is easy drinking and fitting for the setting. Style-wise it is uncharacteristically sweet but it isnt cloying. This is perhaps the most easily attainable offering by this brewery. They had it on site and advertised on the walls and seemingly every bottle shop in the area had it as well. Worth a try if you get a chance.

thanks to stevea1210 for this. Enjoyed chilled from a wheat glass.
The color is tarnished golden with a thick pillowy cream cap. The bead is fine and lace sticks well. the aroma is distinctly spiced with lemongrass notes that seem peppery and floral with some ginger and light citrus aspects. There is a mild wheat malt note in the nose. The feel is smooth up front with moderate carbonation and sublte warming spice in the background.
The flavor is very well balanced with some lemongrass taste in the entry with enought sweetness to balance the almost ginger-like flavor which is not bitter but has a mild bite. The finish is dry and the overall drinkability's good. I could see having this on a warm summer day after mowing the lawn..or anytime really.

Served on-tap at Outer Banks Brewing Station in Kill Devil Hills, NC
A: Pours a cloudy dark straw to pale golden yellow in color with moderate to heavy amounts of visible carbonation and some lemon yellow highlights. The beer has a finger tall pillowy white head that slowly reduces to a medium sized, medium thick cap with a very thin film surrounding it and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of lemongrass over lighter aromas of wheat and clove.
T: Upfront there are light flavors of wheat and some slightly strong flavors of lemon citrus. That is all overtaken by a moderate to slightly heavier than moderate flavor of lemongrass with some black pepper spiciness. Light amounts of bitterness in the finish.
M: On the lighter side of medium bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of fizzy carbonation.
O: This beer was super refreshing and very enjoyable - I could easily drink this beer as my session beer and it was a perfect complement to seafood while out in the OBX. Definitely the highlight of visiting Outer Banks Brewing Station. The lemongrass was a perfect complement to the style of beer.

T: It tasted like fresh wheat and earthy grass and bitter lemon zest, with a little honey and green peppercorn. It had a smooth bitter aftertaste.
M: It was watery with lots of carbonation. Nice lively body.
D: This was true to its name. This makes other beers with lemon character look stupid, with the amount of lemon here. A solid wheat beer with good scent and taste and body. The finish wasn't perfectly clean, but it was still really easy to drink and refreshing at the beach. Recommended.

I had a sample of this at the Brew Pub Sunday. Noticed that it got fairly good reviews. I thought this was the weakest beer I had out of the four. Poured a pale yellow with very little head (none of the samplers had much of a head). It was cloudy like a wheat beer with a citrus aroma. The initial taste was a mild, soft wheat beer. The followup however was like someone poured lemon juice concentrate into the beer. No subtlety here. A blast of strong lemon juice. The mouthfeel was about right for a wheat beer (not too watery). The blast of lemon juice keeps this from being very drinkable as a session beer. Would pick something else to quench my thirst as well.

From my limited notes when at the Outer Banks this past summer. My favorite offering from OBBS.
Pours a hazy golden color with a good amount of head.
Smell is very heavy on the lemongrass, there's pretty much nothing else as the lemon overtakes everything, a very sweet smelling beer, reminds me almost of lemonade without the the strong tart aroma.
Taste is also dominated by the lemongrass presence, very sweet with only a slight bitterness from hops at the end. A perfect summer beer as it goes down very easily.

Picked this growler up at the brewpub yesterday and kept cold in my cooler for the trip home.
Pours a murky brownish yellow/orange in color. Like a tangerine that went overripe. Big white head that disappears quickly but is very aromatic with lots of lemon. Nose of the beer has more of the lemon and just some slight hints of wheat.
Not sure if there is lemongrass in this beer but this is how I imagine lemongrass would taste. Zesty lemons. Some lighter tones of sweetness from the wheat. Kind of reminds me of Sam Adams Summer Ale and its "grains of paradise." Full mouthfeel that is a bit cloying. That lemon flavor really stick around. Nice summer beer to enjoy while I work in the yard and watch football.

Nice hazy gold pour. The head actually has swirls in it as it fades. Fairly nice lacing for a lighter beer.
Nose is very strong and as advertised. All lemongrass. Very lemony and a fresh outdoors feel.
Hits light and quickly goes fizzy. Lemons there for sure, but also the more standard banana and very, very weak clove.
Feel starts a little fizzy but actually gets grainy towards the end. Very nice.
My wife loves this beer. I'm less enthused, but it's pretty darn good for the style. I'd drink it again - if she lets me.

On-tap at the brewery in a 5 oz. sampler glass. It's an opaque peachy gold, with medium carbonation and a thin white head. Quite pleasing aroma, with orange, lemon, cloves, bubblegum, and a backing of wheat. Tastes very similar, with the addition of floral hops, roses?, and delicious wheat, on top of a medium, creamy body that has lively carbonation and leaves a medium finish. All in all a delicious, flavorful American wheat.

served at the Outer Banks Brewing station in a tall thin glass (looked more like a pils glass than a traditional weizen) on 8/5.
Lemongrass Wheat Ale pours a hazy golden color. There's about a finger of fluffy white foam perched atop the beer, but it quickly fades cleanly down the glass, not leaving a speck of lacing. The titular lemongrass comes through sharply in the nose, but there's also a bit of clove, as well as a barely there tartness from the wheat. The flavor is more of the same, though it does come across as especially crisp, not much at all in the way of sweetness or even wheaty tartness. The clove notes, I'm guessing from a weizen yeast, are a bit more prominent here than in the nose. The body is a bit on the drier than I would have anticipated, but that does help the lemongrass come across at the focus of the beer. The carbonation is bubbly and expressive, while stopping short of overpowering the body. BA lists this one as an American Pale Wheat, and thre brewpub calls it a hefeweizen. I'd say it's a much better interpretation of the former than the latter.

Not a bad wheat brew, by any means. All of the beers brewed at the OBX Brewing Station are well-crafted. This one is no exception. It could stand to have a nit more inthe way of wheat aroma and pounch in the flavor department, but worth a try. Prost!

Had this on-tap on 6-27-08. This one came to me a bright, yet cloudy, golden yellow. Thin white head capped it off. The aroma was very inviting and reminiscent of summer. Strong lemon grass scent with a light backing of clove, bubblegum, and faint wheat. It just smelled refreshing. The flavor followed the path I had hoped it would. Strong lemon flavor, but not in any way overpowering or overly tart. And it's nothing like a shandy or radler, either. Very unique and enjoyable, especially on a hot summer evening.

This beer poured a nice hazy golden color with a small head. The smell was a nice straight up hefe with some added citrus from the lemongrass that really added a lot. The extra citrus shows up in the taste as well, and offsets the banana and citrus flavor in the beer well. This beer has all the characteristics of a good hefeweizen with a bit of extra citrus. A great use of extra ingredients to improve a beer instead of trying to make it taste like something other than beer.

Stopped in here on the way up to Corolla. Appearance was quite cloudy and yellow. Aroma was like a real wheat beer, but the banana and clove were lessened by the lemongrass aroma. I was surprised how big the lemomgrass smell was. This one went down pretty good. I don't think I could drink this all afternoon long, though, The lemongrass did tend to get stronger.

Mouthfeel: A bit of a kick in the beginning but ends up quite smooth

Legalize Street Food
IJ is fighting on behalf of street vendors across the country to vindicate their constitutional right to earn an honest living free from arbitrary government regulations.
Cities can and should allow vending to thrive by writing clear and simple regulations tailored to address real health and safety issues—not the concerns of brick-and-mortars worried about new competition. By allowing vendors to compete in the marketplace, local governments can expand economic opportunity and cultural vibrancy in America's cities.
Want to join the fight to legalize vending? Email Lancee at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Want a FREE "Legalize Street Food" sticker for your food truck or cart? Email email@example.com. Make sure to include whether you'd like a slate gray or sangria colored decal.

The food truck revolution is sweeping the nation, but street food entrepreneurs in the Crescent City are facing onerous, out-of-date, and anti-competitive laws that make it nearly impossible to thrive. It's time city council revise these laws to help support the growth and success of food trucks and other mobile vendors, create economic opportunity and continue to build a vibrant local culinary scene.
Join entrepreneurs, advocates and foodies on July 24 to learn more about how mobile food businesses build communities, the need to reform the city's laws, and what you can do to help the food trucks roll in New Orleans.

Food trucks will serve dinner after the symposium. The first 100 attendees through the door will receive a voucher good towards purchases at participating food trucks. Good Work Network will also be present to connect with anyone interested in breaking into the mobile food business.

Chicago rolls out My Streets, My Eats
My Streets, My Eats is a grassroots campaign to spread the word about the legal restrictions Chicago places on mobile chefs and to advocate for reform. Currently, Chicago's laws say no to mobile chefs over and over again: no preparation of food on a truck or cart, no serving customers before 10 am, no stopping within 200 feet of a restaurant. My Streets! My Eats! aims to mobilize Chicagoans to urge City Council to say yes to mobile chefs by repealing these restrictions. Chicago should let entrepreneurs figure out what customers want and serve it up fresh and hot!
You can join the My Streets, My Eats campaign. City Council is sitting on a proposed law that would allow food preparation from mobile food vehicles: urge the Committee on License and Consumer Protection to hold a hearing on the law. But that proposal doesn't go far enough. It would still place confusing and anti-competitive restrictions on mobile food businesses, requiring them to stay away from other food establishments. That translates into staying out of busy business districts, where customers are likely to be. Check out our map of the Loop, which shows how crippling the law would be.

The downtown area of St. Petersburg, Fla., is currently a "no vending zone." Recently, the city council has decided to open up its downtown to food trucks, but the council is faced with one problem: the disapproval of downtown restaurants. Because of the pressure from the Chamber of Commerce, St. Petersburg is considering a law that prohibits food trucks to vend within up to 500 feet from a restaurant.
In response, IJ has helped the food vendors of St. Petersburg to organize and to get their message out there: It's not the government's place to enact laws to protect brick-and-mortar businesses from competition. With IJ's help, the food vendors of St. Petersburg and surrounding areas are fighting back against government protectionism.

IJ releases statement on behalf of DC food trucks.
Will the District of Columbia fully embrace the food truck revolution, or will it empower brick-and-mortar restaurants to run mobile vendors out of town?
That is the question confronting city officials as they consider new regulations for the District's mobile food businesses. Today the Institute for Justice (IJ) and its National Street Vending Initiative sent the D.C. government its views about the proposed regulations. Although the proposed regulations represent a significant improvement in the legal landscape for mobile food entrepreneurs, IJ noted three specific concerns that the government should correct before final passage.

El Paso Mobile Food Vendors Challenge City's Effort to Run Them Out of Town
|IJ Client Maria Robledo
|Download: Map of Vending Prohibitions (PDF)
Should the city of El Paso, Texas, be allowed to turn itself into a No-Vending Zone in order to protect brick-and-mortar restaurants from competition?
The Institute for Justice sought an answer to this question in a major federal lawsuit filed January 26, 2011 on behalf of four El Paso mobile food vendors.
This lawsuit launched a National Street Vending Initiative, a nationwide litigation and activism effort to vindicate the right of street vendors to earn an honest living. The case against the city of El Paso challenged the constitutionality of the city's mobile vending restrictions that made it illegal for vendors to operate within 1,000 feet of a restaurant or convenience store, and prohibited them from stopping to await customers anywhere in the city.
In response to the lawsuit, El Paso officials passed a new ordinance eliminating the protectionist regulations against mobile food vendors that formed the basis of the claims raised. This is a major victory for El Paso mobile food vendors and for economic liberty. The new ordinance comes only three months after the case was filed.

The somewhat demeaning term jog-a-thon may be indicative of one of our problems. Instead of accepting and working with the local road-running communities, some look down on the road-runs and lose the chance to see them as important partners in the bigger picture of our sport.
Many of our larger road-races are not only paying good money to our elite athletes as appearance and/or prize money, but are often major supporters of elite track meets, which of course are also paying out $$$ to our best runners. Not to mention providing the public exposure that brings big money sponsors to the table, not only for the events, but also directly to the athletes.
In the bigger picture of trying to professionalize our sport, I think the road runs are a critical component towards a better funding picture for our athletes. Yes, of course I realize that the direct money goes to the distance runners, but a solid business model could also include funding of clubs, centres, meets, etc., and this is already happening in some places. As has been noted, this is where the real money in our sport is. For instance, I just read that the Vancouver Marathon, reasonably sized but not huge as big city Marathons go, brings an economic impact of 37 million dollars to the Vancouver area !

RENO — The Safety Consultation and Training Section (SCATS) of the Nevada Division of Industrial Relations has recognized Basalite, a concrete and masonry company in Reno, for its successful completion of the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP). This is the fourth time Basalite has received its SHARP certification.
The no-cost SHARP program is designed to assist employers with the development and implementation of effective safety and health programs. SHARP helps businesses improve their return on investment, be in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and create the added value of reducing accident costs.
Basalite has been in business since 1971 and has 67 employees between its three locations in northern Nevada, including a manufacturing facility in Carson City, aggregate quarry in Dayton and distribution yard in Reno. Basalite creates commercial and residential concrete products, including materials to build offices, schools and warehouses. The company also supplies and installs pavers and wall blocks for home improvement projects.
