• Both players responded well as Kamieniecki grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds and Fields scored nine points, one off his career high.
• The Cardinals used the same starting lineup in each of its previous 15 games: guards Jesse Berry and Jauwan Scaife, forwards Chris Bond and Majok Majok, and Fields at center.

• Fields made the most of the opportunity in the opener, logging career highs with 10 points and eight rebounds. His previous career bests were four points and four boards.
• He scored eight points in the MAC-opening win at Eastern Michigan and added nine more Saturday at Central Michigan when he came off the bench for the first time.

One of the Best in the West

on July 7, 2013 - 9:24 PM
The Buffalo News Jazz at the Albright-Knox series got off to a lovely, lazy start Sunday. The concert, featuring vocalist Cindy Miller, was everything Jazz at the Albright-Knox should be. It played up the joys of a long, hot summer afternoon.
Miller's style was supremely unhurried and relaxed. Which is not to say it could not be exciting: A veteran performer, Miller has a youthful joie de vivre. If you heard her on the radio, you would think she was in her 20s. She has a marvelous treble range and hits amazing high notes, sometimes out of the blue. Singing Gershwin's "Our Love Is Here to Stay" – complete with the seldom-heard opening verse – she made sudden leaps into the stratosphere and always landed on her feet.
She is virtuosic without being pretentious or annoying. Her choice of repertoire was fun. She opened with a good-natured, uptempo "Almost Like Being in Love," from "Brigadoon." "Scottish jazz," she joked.
A bass solo kicked off Duke Ellington's "Love You Madly." I could not recall the last time I had heard that song's lyrics. Irving Berlin's bittersweet "Always" became a chipper uptempo Latin romp, which you could argue about, but Miller pulled it off.
One of her finest numbers was the challenging Michel Legrand ballad "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" She set the bar high, taking it at a tempo that was luxuriously leisurely. And again, she did well, her long phrases expressive and sustained.
She had band mates of like-minded grace.
On drums, Dan Hull kept things moving and helped hold the team together. There was something metaphoric about that. Hull has done a great job for years of holding the area's musicians together with his jam sessions and his organizational abilities. As Miller said, "He's a Hull of a drummer."
Miller's charming, laid-back sense of humor went perfectly with the slow, sunny ambience.
When she got series organizer Don Metz's name wrong and called him Tom, she shrugged. "You can call me Sandy."
She asked Lisa Hasselback, "Is your husband the football player?" That is NFL humor. From what I understand, a Don Hasselbeck played for the Patriots.
Miller sang every song – there were no saxophones to take over – but she always sounded fresh and energetic. In only one song, the bluesy "At Last," did she sound overextended. She knew her strengths and played to them.
She did some scatting, and bravo to her for doing it well and not overdoing it. A few times she extemporized her own scat lyrics. Ending the first set with "I Just Found Out About Love," she sang as the song was winding down, "You can get a pretzel over there" and "Thank you, Buffalo, you're such a hip place." That's an obvious trick, working announcements like that into the song, but I can't remember hearing anybody else do it.
Jazz at the Albright-Knox continues at 2 p.m. next Sunday with singer Mike Costley, joined by a heck of a band, including Bobby Jones on keyboard, saxophonist Bobby Militello, guitarist Chuck Buffamonte and bassist Bill Staebell. Danny Hull will again be on drums.
Here's hoping for another lovely, lazy day.

How will PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive Channing Tatum spend Christmas this year?
Having dance-off with his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, of course.
"We'll be playing the Xbox Kinect 4 Dance Central 3," Dewan-Tatum told PEOPLE on Thursday. "We get very competitive when it comes to video games, but this one in particular we're going to have a lot of fun with."
Dewan-Tatum, who costarred with her now-husband in Step Up in 2006, plans to give him a run for his money in the dance-competition game. "I'm hoping that I will be able to say I kicked his butt," she said, "but we'll see."
The game will be just one of the gifts Dewan-Tatum, who attended the Microsoft All Access Holiday Party in L.A. on Thursday, has in mind for her tough-to-shop-for husband.
"It gets harder and harder every year," she said. "He gets everything that he wants. He sees something and he buys it. I need some ideas!"
At least they have their travel plans sorted. "Last year we were with my side of the family," she said, "so this year we'll be with his side in the south and hopefully sneak a little vacation time in there, too."
Their destination of choice? "We are so last minute, but I want to be somewhere warm. I love snowy vacations, but this time I'm feeling warmth."
And perhaps they'll finally get a moment to celebrate Channing's Sexiest Man Alive title since Dewan-Tatum says they were both working when the issue hit stands.
"I am so proud of him," she adds. "He gets really embarrassed talking about it, but he thinks it's awesome. And I talk about it enough for him, so it's all good!"
Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Channing Tatum Plan a Christmas Dance-Off

But no one really was. Julie Schenecker had shot the couple's two children just minutes earlier.
Calyx, 16, was lying on her bedroom floor; her 13-year-old brother, Beau, was dead in the front seat of the family car. Although she claims that she planned to kill herself after the shooting, Schenecker fell asleep on the veranda.
The next morning, she was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
As the trial entered its sixth day of testimony Tuesday, Julie Schenecker, 53, was led into the Tampa, Florida, courtroom, her hands cuffed behind her back.
Wearing black slacks and a red sweater, she caught the eye of someone in the gallery. She smiled and winked. It was a surprising display from Schenecker, who has spent most of the trial staring blankly at a legal pad on the defense table.
But the smile was soon replaced by a scowl when Parker Schenecker, 51, took the stand for a second time.
After describing their courtship and wedding, he began to speak of the mental illness that took hold soon after the wedding.
"She had mentioned suicide, but not that she was planning on acting on it," he testified. "My hope that her energy was too low to do it."
Jay Conner / The Tampa Tribune / AP
In November 2010, she got into a minor car accident while under the influence of alcohol and Oxycontin. As Julie prepared to leave rehab, Parker Schenecker sent her an email. "Pls consider executing a release for [the rehab doctor] to speak with me," he wrote. Julie Schenecker immediately responded. "Hell, no! Sorry about your luck."
"He would help with some ideas on how to improve things while keeping your private issues private," Parker Schenecker replied. "I believe it's critical for us (all four of us) to get into family counseling immediately." But his wife refused, and he dropped the topic.
He then turned his attention to the children's transportation to school. "I must protect them," he wrote to his wife. "They are telling me they feel unsafe. This is the basic responsibility of a parent. They've asked their father for protection; the hard part is that they've asked for protection from their mother."
As she listened to the testimony, Julie Schenecker stared at her ex-husband, slightly shaking her head. She glanced at the jury, many of whom were taking voluminous notes. Then, she sighed and stared at her legal pad once again.
If convicted of first-degree murder, Julie Schenecker will receive a life sentence in prison. If she's acquitted by reason of insanity, she will be committed to a hospital until she is no longer a danger to herself or others.

A weekend in mid July. The perfect time for a getaway to the beach, the mountains or a sparkling lake, right? Well, not if you are one of 122 dedicated parishioners from around the archdiocese, who will spend this coming weekend in Poughkeepsie at Holy Trinity Parish. Holy Trinity is hosting two days of training on a parish evangelization course called Discovering Christ. This is one of three courses designed by ChristLife, an apostolate in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The other two courses are Following Christ and Sharing Christ.
The Archdiocesan Catechetical Office is sponsoring this as a facet of adult faith formation leadership training and 21 parishes are sending representatives.
At the end of the training, these representatives should have the tools they need to evangelize their fellow Catholics, to enable them to better know or perhaps become reacquainted with Jesus Christ.
Discovering Christ consists of seven weekly sessions and a one-day retreat. Each session begins with a dinner, followed by prayer, presentation of the evening's topic, and discussion. The topics include the meaning of life, why Jesus Christ matters, what Jesus wants us to know, why each of us need a Savior, why the Resurrection is so important, the Holy Spirit and the Spirit's relation to us, becoming a Catholic disciple and, finally, why we all need the Church.
The process of Discovering Christ gives people a chance to see, grow in trust and respond to what they are experiencing in the session. The process is designed to engage not the just the mind but the heart as well.
Perhaps your parish is sending people for training. If so, look for Discovering Christ at your church in the near future.

Camera Comparison: Nokia Lumia 1020 vs Galaxy S4, iPhone 5, Lumia 925, One
That's arguably the most important category, as this is where we're taking into account all factors and compiling an estimated overall rating for each cameraphone. As it turns out, the Nokia Lumia 1020 can indeed call itself the best cameraphone, as it seems to achieve the best results across most categories. With its endless details, powerful Xenon flash and remarkable 1080p video recording, the Lumia 1020 absolutely proves that it's worth being the fattest boy in town, as long as you can put that extra weight and size to good use. That's what the 1020 has managed to do.
Rounding up the top 3 are the usual suspects – the Galaxy S4 and the iPhone 5. With better details and more natural color reproduction, the GS4 manages to slightly edge Apple's finest. The fourth place is then occupied by the Lumia 925 – a relatively fresh Windows Phone 8 smartphone that almost matches the big boys when it comes to its camera capabilities. Almost, but not quite there. Finally, we have the HTC One. While we're absolutely certain that those UltraPixels are a very cool idea, it looks like the particular implementation by HTC hasn't been the most successful one.

Nokia Lumia 1020 FTW!

Where's the Sony Xperia Z in this list? :/
9. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
PhoneArena excludes Sony on every comparison. So if PhoneArena excludes the Honami on the next camera comparison, well, I must say that they're "Honamily" biased.
22. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
There is just no way they leave Honami out. Xperia Z was horrible but seeing as Honami will pack a bigger sensor, it'll be atleast as good as S4.

Lol @htc one. 3
164. Arman (Posts: 47; Member since: 08 Jul 2013)
S4 has the same sensor with better algorithm.. so there is no point in using Xperia Z.
its a sad day for journalism.. when S4 in night get the same score as 1020 and even 925. or in macro PA used a new term liveliness when 1020 get the same result as GH2 with natural color W/O oversharpening..
Im really sorry but its not worth it.. don't lose our trust with false information just like your galaxy S4 battery test when iphone and Htc one had less than 5 or 6 hour of web browsing.. when both of them are industry standard for that..
lumia 1020 is without a doubt the best camera phone on the market.. but with huge margin .. not 9 to 8 margin..just look at lowlight shooting you posted.. the only camera with detail is 1020.. sometimes 925...
188. deburocks (Posts: 126; Member since: 20 Apr 2013)
Ur right bro.. This is a paid article by samsung. Lumia 1020 wins every comparison. Why in rhe world s4 is in d same league? Even 925 camera is better then s4. Another biased article frm phonearena. For them samsung and apple are the only innovative companes , Others just dont exist..wake up ray s.
210. Boogieman (Posts: 10; Member since: 02 Jun 2013)
Biased scoring for sure.
Apple better than Lumia 925 and HTC One....IN LOW LIGHT...GO GET A LIFE! They must be brain dead to believe that anyone will believe that.
And then they write that the 1020 is best in low light but still it gets the same low light score as the S4....WTF!
183. skyguy7567 (Posts: 148; Member since: 17 Nov 2012)
Total grief. Xperia Z's camera is excellent. The most natural colors and crystal clear images. S4's images are fake. Although they might LOOK better, it's actually nowhere near realistic. PA's just 'Yeah. 41 MP we must give it 10 otherwise we will look bad. It's really horrible. Ah, those samsung stuff. No matter what give them at least 9. We will exclude Sony cause our rating will make us look horrible. We rated it 7 before, and people was angry.' Samsung or apple fan. The guys here. No longer trustworthy.

Why not buy an android phone and a cheap DLSR?
64. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
because 1020 is one to rule them all not best OS but defenetly pays off with whatever it has inside including rest of the hardware
108. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
$650 for a dual core snapdragon is worth it? No not at all I can get way better phones from china for half that price that have better cpu, 1080p screen, android, etc
114. papss (unregistered)
And zero support.
119. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Do those china phones get the google play store yet? I had a Viewsonic tablet a few years ago when 2.2 was new and had to use Amazon and GetJar and such for apps since it wasn't play-certified or whatever. Powerful and capable tablet spec-wise, but almost completely useless for what I needed. Won't even bother with anything unless it's Windows now (until if/when something better comes)
129. steelicon (Posts: 317; Member since: 02 Apr 2011)
FYI: You can have the factory customize Jellybean 4.3 International version with Google Play Store.
I have been to Shezhen and Guangzhou, Guangdong, PRC.
You can have every configuration you have because of Android being open source.
Even a custom 55MP sensor camera with mechanical shutter and Xenon flash with high intensity fast shutter double LED video light.
How's that for starters? :-)
198. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
which quad core do u get the camera that is better then many point to shoot i guess none in the android section this is only one phone so its defenetly worth but as expected its price will go down fast just after the GDR3 update is announced mark my words.
For android i seen enough of quad cores wasted for no good performance same old performance with new and new CPU thats a joke OS
but 1080 is a nice thingie
203. phil2n (Posts: 487; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Id**t. talking about the screen. can you really distinguish 720p and 1080p resolution by just looking at it?..
127. gazmatic (Posts: 795; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)

Correction: in some category gs4 score more than lumia 1020, r u guys kidding me that gs4 score more than lumia 1020 100% fan score this.
137. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1214; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
You must be a fan boy to if you think the GS4 picture sucks, why don't you judge with your eyes cause that's what the reviewer did, and if he prefers some pictures of the GS4 better than that's his opinion everyone has different taste and preferences.
184. skyguy7567 (Posts: 148; Member since: 17 Nov 2012)
You go check your eyes. samsung's photos LOOK good, but completely unrealistic. Nokia or Sony's cameras, on the other hand, give the most realistic photos. I'm not an old man so my eyes are still great. samsung fanboys never say that their photos are real, they just say the photos are 'great' that's cause the fake colors make stuff look really good. Have you ever seen child storybooks draw castles like bright grey or something? In reality it's just ugly dark grey with vines all over it. After leaving the infant age you will find that those pictures don't look good. Colors really mean something, and that's something that samsung is still far away from.

How can the S4 get higher score in colour reproduction compared to lumia 1020.
Compare with their reference camera the Panasonic the 1020 certainly is A LOT closer with more vivid colours than the s4.
The yellow flower is one example. Very bleached on s4 while colourful on 1020 and panasonic.
The over contrasted (in white) pink flower on the S4 shows how bad it handles the image where you dont see the contrasts in white as you do on lumia.
And look at the unnatural greens on the leaves for the S4 - once again trumped easy by the lumia and panasonic.
2. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
None of the other phones even stood a chance.
3. smallworld (Posts: 484; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
The HTC One is such a fail !!
5. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
I love how its scoring even lower in these newer test. "Ultrapixels" is the biggest camera fail.
11. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
Camera wise yes....but everything else is amazing! The 1020 is only good at being a camera phone...,.
19. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
1020 is a perfectly fine smartphone on its own. It can do everything android devices do, its just 3 generations ahead in camera.
26. AliNSiddiqui (Posts: 382; Member since: 19 Sep 2012)
It can't do 50% of what Android can do. Hell, it still doesn't have an orientation lock! What a joke!
27. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
I don't know how MS left out orientation lock, but the fact is that 1020 is a better overall smartphone than S4. Hell, even Verge, which is not very fond of WP rated 1020 higher than S4.
Think about it, 1020, even with a 5 in ecosystem managed to beat Samsung's greatest because Nokia's hardware is just so much better than Samsung I'm not talking about processors and screen resolution, I'm talking about other practical factors like sunlight legibility, overall smoothness of OS, call quality, design, durability and toughness etc.
34. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Lumia 1020 is a phone with a few years ahead camera, 2012 screen, 2011 processor, OS that is the equivalent of cancer. The lumia 1020 is also bulky and the worst looking design on any modern phones IMO (All windows 8 phones look like a polished turd.)
If your looking for reasons to get an android device over the WP then do not believe what these people on here tell you. The s4 does not have lag, nor does the HTC One or any of the other major phones that are running android 4.2. The screens used on android flagships are superior. The lumia 1020 screen is an older amoled panel and over saturated like the S3. The lumia 1020 is using a crappy cpu, if you play games on your phone the snapdragon 600 performs 2-3x better for gaming.
50. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Snapdragon S4 Pro is from 2012, and the NEW Nexus 7 uses it, so.... Your argument is invalid.http://www.androidpolice.com/2
51. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
It is a DUAL CORE snapdragon s4 pro. The snapdragon S4 pro in the nexus 4 and 7 is a QUAD CORE. The gpu in the lumia 1020 is ADRENO 225. The Gpu in the Nexus 4/7 is ADRENO 320.
Does that explain it good enough for you?
The lumia 1020 is about equal to the galaxy s3 in specs (The US version not the exynos 4 version).
123. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
The architecture is the same, and rarely does Android effectively use all 4 cores. WP on one core is still smoother and more reliable than Android on 8 (granted the current 8 cores aren't true octa-cores). I'd like to see a galaxy s4 try to run on the same hardware as a 920/25/28/1020. Not only do I think it couldn't do so all that well, it would likely alienate most Samesung fans.
132. steelicon (Posts: 317; Member since: 02 Apr 2011)
Windows Phone run fast on a single core and 512MB because it is a dumb feature phone mobile OS. It has barely anything running under the hood. No HDMI, No USB OTG, outdated Bluetooth stack, NFC incompatible to most phone brands and models, no notification, lacks mainstream app support - the list goes on and on.
Android on the other hand is a full featured mobile OS that has more functions you can shake a stick at. It is truly a MOBILE COMPUTER, a worthy successor to Symbian and MeeGo and can only get better and better with each and every version.
Apple iOS 7 is even better than WP8 in which it has adopted some Symbian, BB10 and Windows Mobile features - yes, even the older Windows mobile OS has more features than the current joke of a mobile OS tiles only WP8.
196. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
..and android is so frikking powerful and flexible that it needs quad core cpu and enormous gpu to run smooth. Great. Thanks man, but I'll pass.
It's ridiculous to have such hardware inside only to be able to run a system.
199. steelicon (Posts: 317; Member since: 02 Apr 2011)
A powerful Operating System requires powerful hardware.
Try running full all services enabled Windows 7 on a 486DX4-100 if you can.
Get the point?
214. Ikecr (Posts: 2; Member since: 03 Jan 2013)
FYI... WP8 is based on the same kernel as W8... if you google or bing it at Engadget...
As for HDMI out, there's Play to/Photobeamer/Xbox Smart Glass so I can share my media over my Xbox 360/PC/Tv/Roku...
If you think your "smartphone" is a computer, then, try harder, because no serious work can be accomplished on a tiny screen (no matter how "powerful" cpu, ram, 1080p res screen it has, and don't tell about convergence like the atrix...that sucked terrible)
Symbian is dead (killed) by Nokia, with a good reason, so if you want to stick to it, good for you, MeeGo went the same route...
The main reason Nokia used the 808 to showcase PureView technology was because they were developing the technology during 5 years (which of course was the main platform at the moment) so basically the switch to WP didn't leave the correct span of time to implement it (until GDR2/Amber/WP8), so yes, the 808 was an exercise, same as N9, and they evolved to their WP8 Lumia counterparts, so deal with it...
I see iOS7 taking clues from WP8 not windows mobile, and Android too.
By the way, do you use all of your phone's features? How's your current the experience using apps and services in your Symbian (current version?) and don't tell me is S40...
If you want all those rage hardware specs, functions, etc., then I suggest you to get and android phone, and dealt everyday with tickling configurations...
For us, WP users what matters is stability, fluidity, ease of use and an entire different UI, not that row of static icons (widgets tend to be sort of it, too)

"If you think your "smartphone" is a computer, then, try harder, because no serious work can be accomplished on a tiny screen (no matter how "powerful" cpu, ram, 1080p res screen it has"
I just tried S4 on a LG smart TV with "miracast" support
The screen was 47" (55" is available as well)
I'm getting a 42" HDTV and a Netgear PTV3000
Lumia 92x/1020 have ONLY 720 - incompatible!

You're blind angry boy...
Do you need revenge or something?
I'll tell you why i'll buy a Windows Phone - maybe NOKIA 1020 or something that is available in December:
1. Android is lagging, crashing etc. - I've SGS4 and Note II. My google maps are crashing all the time or even worst - sending me to wrong place.
2. Android is hungry for resources and so called "SPECS". Java virtual machine is always hungry and slow. Even with 4-8 cores and 2GB RAM. I don't care about specs.
3. Android doesn't work good even as a phone, not to mention as a whole "computer"...
Take your opinion and don't think that all of us cares only for specs and functions that you'll never use, exept braging around..
Have a nice and successful week!
244. steelicon (Posts: 317; Member since: 02 Apr 2011)
... and exactly what does that make you, little child?
Tell me, how will you transfer all of those files when you don't even have USB OTG nor microSD when you're out in the middle of nowhere with no wireless nor cellular connection?
Heck, even NOKIA ASHA - a featurephone - has USB OTG.
Of course you prolly won't mind, since you are a simpleton anyway - USB OTG is for "advanced" users, as you said. ;-)

"2012 screen."
there is nothing like 2012 screen. it would have been nice if it had 1080p screen, but that doesnt change the fact that 1080p is totally overkill.
"2011 processor"
it has a 2012 processor, not 2011. don't exaggerate, people will think you have no serious point to make. besides, if a dual core wp is as fast as high end androids, then why should it matter if it has one year old processor or ten year old? don't get me wrong, i would like wp to have quad core phones, but its just not essential (for android it was essential because they need as much power as you can provide them).
"The lumia 1020 is also bulky and the worst looking design on any modern phones IMO (All windows 8 phones look like a polished turd.)"
what youre saying here is highly objective, but there's just no way 1020 is worse looking than S4.
"The lumia 1020 screen is an older amoled panel and over saturated like the S3."
No its not. nokia has had that option to adjust saturation since a long time. samsung only added that with s4.
219. CyberAngel (Posts: 49; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
1080 is not overkill when using net on a HDTV screen
I know you can't do THAT on any Lumia
240. saffant (Posts: 274; Member since: 04 Jul 2011)
No it isn't. My Note 2's screen looks like crap compared to the S4. 1080p DOES have a discernible difference between it and the 720p.

S4 does lag. I've personally used it. No android phone is without lag... Maybe a nexus one. I haven't used a Windows Phone 8 phone but if I'm to trust the reviews, It has no lag. So get your facts straight.

The Lumia 1020 design is based on the award-winning design of the Lumia 920/N9. Go search the handful of design awards it won. If anything, it's the most beautiful phone right now. I'm pretty sure you haven't seen let alone used a Lumia in person. Try one and you'll be blown away. Specs aren't everything. You have to use the device before you can make a valid comment.

For plants with perennial insect problems a great combination to use this time of year is Neem Oil (Triact for commercial people or large property folks) and Dominion Drench. Horticultural oil is something you could use in place of Neem Oil. I like the Neem Oil because it controls certain fungi as well as killing overwintering insects.
Scale, aphids, lace bugs and whiteflies are a few insects that are very host specific and attack the same plants year after year. One easy way to tell if your plants are getting attacked is if they turn black from sooty mold every year. The oil will smother overwintering eggs and the Dominion Drench will move into the plant through the root system systemically and protect the new, young foliage as well as the old foliage.
When you do this drench of Dominion, there are many other cocktail possibilities. SeaHume liquid, SuperThrive, Fish/Seaweed blend and/or 18-00-06 that could be added to the watering can of Dominion.
Crepe Myrtles, especially the older varieties, tend to get aphids and powdery mildew. The Neem Oil will provide short-term control of both of these detractors. The Dominion will be sucked up into the plant and provide season-long control against the aphids.
Scale is common on camellias, hollies, Fatsia and many, many other plants in the Lowcountry. Scale hides behind a waxy covering it produces, protecting it from birds, predatory insects and control products. By using Dominion and going through the plant, you bypass this waxy coating.
Gardenias used to be almost impossible to grow because of whiteflies. Whiteflies (scale, aphids and lace bugs) reproduce so quickly, it was very difficult to spray enough to keep the whitefly in check. Up until the early 90s, most gardenias were black from sooty mold. Dominion changed weekly sprayings into a once-a-year drench.
Lace bugs seemed to have really flourished during those dry years we had a few years ago and have not let up. Azaleas, lantana, oak trees and sycamores are just a few hosts that really get attacked. Lace bugs are not quite as bad with sooty mold. The leaves will look mottled and like the fluid has been sucked out of them. If you look closely, you can see them and their fecal matter on the underside of the leaves. Their camouflage would make the folks of Duck Dynasty proud.
Since beneficial bug-eaters do not feed on the plant after drenching Dominion, you do not kill any beneficial insects that feed on other bugs.
Always read, understand and follow product label. The product label is a federal law.

Two men were in a car in the early morning hours Friday, heading to Hollywood to burn a house. Pour gas through the window and light it with a napkin, one man reportedly said. When I light it, it will make a hell of a whooping noise.
Suspicious fires
Click here to see an interactive graphic of suspicious fires in the downtown area over the past decade. For more coverage of the downtown fires, go to postandcourier.com/arson.
That particular fire never happened. According to arrest affidavits, police and Charleston County sheriffs deputies stopped the car and arrested the driver on arson charges. A plastic milk jug filled with gasoline was found behind the drivers seat.
The arrest was the culmination of a complex undercover operation that began in October with a tip to the citys arson hotline, which in turn fueled new life into the hunt for a serial arsonist that torched downtown homes over the past decade.
The focus of the investigation was Kenneth Boone, a 55-year-old construction worker who lives in the Hampton Terrace neighborhood with his aging parents.
Boone was charged Saturday with two counts of third-degree arson in connection with fires at a house in Hollywood, one count of third-degree arson involving a house at 48 Montagu St. in Charleston and one count of solicitation to commit arson, according to arrest affidavits.
But while Boone was headed to Hollywood that morning, investigators also had the city fires on their minds. One affidavit outlined how a confidential informant earlier said he believed Boone was starting fires to residences in the City and County of Charleston, and then later profiting by performing the repair work.
A tip, a break
In a press conference Monday afternoon, Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen, said residents can breathe easier knowing that an arrest was made.
But, he said, much work needs to be done. In all, more than 80 suspicious fires have broken out in a tightly packed area of the peninsula bisected by the Septima P. Clark Parkway, better known as the Crosstown.
They began at least in the early 2000s and were set every year after that, according to a Post and Courier analysis. Its unclear whether they were the work of one person, though given the length of time, its plausible that several fire-setters were at work.
After a rash of fires in the summer of 2011, the city reconstituted its arson task force and offered what eventually grew to a $50,000 reward. Police and firefighters canvassed neighborhoods, installed surveillance cameras and put up red arson hotline signs in front of homes that burned.
Mullen said the task force got a break in late October when someone called the hotline. The tipster said a man who worked on houses in Charleston had asked an acquaintance to start a fire in Hollywood, a town on the metro areas western outskirts.
Working with county and federal investigators, authorities began developing confidential sources, Mullen said. A surveillance team monitored their targets movements night and day.
On Thanksgiving Day, Boone told a confidential informant that he would pick him up at about 3 a.m. at the corner of Ashley Avenue and Huger Street, an arrest affidavit said. That morning, the team saw Boone pick up a man and head toward Hollywood.
During the trip, he made several comments, the affidavit said. Kenneth said he had a gallon of gas ... and went on to say the house had burned a couple of times.
As Boone and the confidential informant neared Hollywood, police and deputies decided not to take any chances. They stopped Boones car at S.C. Highway 162 and U.S. Highway 17. He was being monitored through a number of techniques, and he was not going to set a fire, Mullen said.
Unanswered questions
The press conference announcing Boones arrest was held in City Councils wood-paneled chamber, the same room where grim-faced city officials in July 2011 announced a $25,000 reward. At that time, Charleston Mayor Joe Riley vowed: Were going to catch you, and we wont rest until we catch you. City officials doubled the reward six months later after another fire.
Monday afternoon, city officials greeted each other with smiles as investigators with the city fire and police departments crowded onto the dais with Riley and other members of the task force. Riley praised their extremely creative and extremely resourceful work and thanked task force members personally by name.
Chief Fire Marshal Mike Julazadeh said firefighters worked hard to educate residents about preventing arsons and urged them to tell them any detail, no matter how insignificant. The goal of this group was to stop this issue.
Asked about the motive, Julazadeh said fires may have been set to obtain repair work.
But, Mullen added, We want everyone to remain vigilant, because at this point, were not saying this particular individual set all those fires. We have a lot of investigation to do, a lot of theories. We dont want people to lower their guard.
The target
The focus of the task force has been on a surprisingly compact area immediately north and south of the Crosstown. Plotted on a map, all but two of the 80-plus fires were within 5,000 feet of each other. Nearly all were set in homes that had been converted into apartments. Most were older homes, including some that had been standing since 1835.
Boones address is listed as 5 Glenwood Ave., which overlooks Allan Park in the Hampton Park Terrace neighborhood and is on the edge of the area affected by the arsons. Boones father was once described in a Post and Courier feature in 2009 as a patriarch of old Charleston and known for his careful construction work on the Calhoun Mansion, 2 South Battery and other famous Charleston homes. His mother, Orelee, is a double-amputee and worked for the Clerk of Court for more than 20 years.
Monday morning, two older green Ford pickups with tool boxes were parked in the driveway. Orelee came to the door in her wheelchair and said her son, who goes by the name of Kenny, did various construction jobs around the city, including a house that had burned.
She said her son lived here sometimes and that police questioned everyone on the job. All of them are being questioned. I know that they had one fellow who was homeless and working with him, and I know the police had wired one of them to see what they could find out. She said police came to the house Sunday and asked a lot of questions, but they havent found him guilty of anything.
Boones life is marked by run-ins with the law and struggling business ventures. Records show that he sought permission to operate a coin telephone business in 1986. In 2010, he formed a company called G Talks Wholesale Tobacco Distributors. Those who knew Boone as an entrepreneur described him as someone with grand dreams who didnt work to achieve them. One recent venture, the Shrimp King on Rebs Corner, was a raw seafood store at Coming and Line streets that closed after less than a year in business.
Loud and friendly
Boone also is no stranger to the justice system, racking up more than 20 criminal offenses, from misdemeanor drug violations to grand larceny. He has been married three times, according to Charleston County records. During his second marriage, which lasted from December 1999 to February 2003, his wife accused him of beating her. Boone had to undergo court-ordered domestic abuse counseling, according to Family Court records.
His second wife alleged that Boone had abused her at a hotel, on the street and at their home. She stated that he left their home under police escort and never returned after obtaining a restraining order in December 2000, her divorce filing stated.
Before Saturday, Boones most recent arrest came in September of 2011 when he was accused of stealing 16 aluminum beams from a construction site at 1002 King St. He also has had numerous eviction proceedings against him when he lived in public housing on the peninsula.
Neighbors described him a gregarious man who, one said, came off as loud and very friendly. He remembers speaking with Boone mainly about simple neighbor stuff but never about the fires. He assumed Boone kept late hours sometimes, saying he drove a pickup truck with a muffler issue, meaning he could hear him when he drove by.
The arrest stirred up strong sense of shock and relief on Montagu Street, site of two recent arsons. David Fromholz awoke early one morning last November when his smoke alarms went off and discovered his wood stairs on fire outside his 50 Montagu St. apartment. Fromholz attended Rileys press conference Monday to learn more.
Fromholz said he knew Boone as someone who arranged for painting and other work around their rental unit, including rebuilding the stairs after that 2011 fire. Its like someone putting a bullet in you and coming back to take the bullet back out, he said. The more I think about it, the more I get (hacked) off.
Investigation continues
Boone is being held at the Cannon Detention Center with bail set at $225,000, said Mullen, adding that the investigation is still in its infancy.
He said its unclear at this time how or whether the reward money will be distributed. Investigators are working on new leads and interviewing other potential witnesses. He hinted that more accomplices may be involved. A sketch of a hooded man that police previously distributed is not Boone, Mullen said.
He warned: Now is the time to determine whether you wish to cooperate and benefit from that cooperation or remain silent and be exposed to the full range of charges that will be sought against anyone involved in these fires.

Starting a business
It can be hard to know where to begin when starting your own business, but meeting your tax and legal obligations should be a priority.
Once you've laid solid legal foundations for your business, you can then start developing it with confidence.
On this page:
- Business structures
- Business names
- Registrations
- Business taxes
- Licences, consents and permits
- Further assistance
Business structures
Businesses commonly use one of three business structures:
- Sole trader
- Partnership
- Company.
Sole trader
If you're a sole trader, you're in complete control of your business. The profits are entirely yours, but so are all the responsibilities and liabilities – including any debts your business incurs.
Becoming a sole trader doesn't require any legal paperwork, which is why many businesses in New Zealand start off as sole traders.
Find out more with Focus on sole traders.
If you're in a partnership you've chosen to pool your assets with others into one business, with the profits and losses of the business divided between you. These types of businesses are established with partnership agreements, which set out in writing the division of profits and losses.
Find out more with Focus on partnerships.
A company is a business that is a legal entity in its own right, separate from its shareholders.
This is important because the company owns all its assets and liabilities, which means your responsibilities for any debts are generally limited to the amount you've invested as share capital in the business.
Every company in New Zealand has to be incorporated – or registered – with the Companies Office (the national registrar of companies).
Find out more with Focus on companies.
Find out more about Business structures.
Business names
A business idea often starts with a name, but your preferred choice could already be in use or contain banned words or phrases. Check if you can use your intended business name with the following resources.
ONECheckONECheck is an online search tool that combines a company name, domain and trade mark search all in one place. It is designed for people who are looking at starting a new business, renaming their current business or just wanting to check their existing business name is secure. ONECheck packages all the relevant information in one place, so you don't have to work from three different websites.
The Companies Office
As soon as a business name is reserved on the companies register, it is impossible for others to reserve the same or a similar name within the next 20 days. That name protection becomes permanent once the company is registered. This protection only stops other companies being registered in New Zealand under the same name and should not be confused with the intellectual property protection offered by a patent, trade mark or copyright.
The Companies Office is also the place to find government restrictions on the types of names you can use.
IPONZ (The Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand)
IPONZ is the organisation where patents and trade marks on original commercial assets – including business names – are registered. Use the office's database to make sure your preferred business name isn't already being used as a commercial asset and, if you already have a logo designed, register the unique combination of words and images that make up your brand as a trade mark so others cannot copy it.
Unlike companies, sole traders and partnerships don't have any protection over their business names. However, they can apply for a trade mark from IPONZ for their brand or logo to give them exclusive rights to use it in a unique way.
A Google search or a search through the Yellow Pages and other business directories can help you find business names already being used by sole traders or partnerships.
Find out about Intellectual property protection.
All businesses must register with Inland Revenue for tax purposes, but companies also have to be incorporated with the Companies Office. The first step is to get an IRD number from Inland Revenue.
Sole traders and partnerships
If you're carrying on business as a sole trader you should return your business income under your personal IRD number. Partnerships must have their own IRD number.
If you haven't got a personal IRD number, you need to apply for one by filling out an IRD number application – individual (IR595) or an IR595A for a partnership
If your business will be run through a company, you need to get an IRD number for it. However, rather than going through Inland Revenue, you can do this through the Companies Office when you register your company for incorporation.
Reserving a company name costs only $10.22, while registering a New Zealand company costs $150. Both can be done online with the Companies Office.
You must also register with Inland Revenue:
For GST (Goods & Services Tax).
Businesses must become registered for GST once they reach (or expect to reach in the next 12 months) an annual turnover of more than $60,000. Once registered, you collect GST for the government on the goods and services you sell and can claim GST back on the goods and services you buy for your business. If your turnover is under $60,000 you may choose to register voluntarily.
Find out more about GST.
To become an employer.
When you start employing staff, you must register as an employer with Inland Revenue.
You'll also be asked whether you need to register for Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) and the Employer Superannuation Contribution Tax (ESCT). Find out more about tax and levies.
Don't register as an employer if you only hire contractors. Find out more about Employee types.
New Zealand Business Number (NZBN)
NZBN is a unique ID that — over time — will let businesses update and share their information, and interact with government and each other.
All companies registered in New Zealand already have NZBNs. By late 2016, all other businesses will get one, including sole traders.
About NZBN — New Zealand Business Number
Watch this video to find out more about using your NZBN.
Business taxes
If you're a sole trader, or carry on business in partnership with others, you will pay income tax on your profits. But if you start a company, its profits will be taxed separately at the company tax rate. You also pay income tax at individual tax rates on dividends received from the company, but you can claim a tax credit for any company tax already paid.
However, your company may also have other tax obligations for GST, for example, or FBT, if you offer your employees fringe benefits.
Find out more with Business tax & levies.
Licences, consents and permits
It's not just Inland Revenue or the Companies Office you might have to work with. Regional councils and other bodies may also play a part in the setting up of your business.
If you plan to work from home, for example, or you want to open a café or bakery, you have to apply for a licence first with your regional council. Your local council also regulates health and safety standards for all businesses and building permits, so it's worth making contact before you start your business.
Depending on your industry, you may also have to work in line with a specialist regulatory authority. These agencies regulate product and service standards, the use of environmental resources, and anything else that might concern public safety by making sure businesses adhere to the relevant standards and codes of practice.
Find out more with Regulatory authorities.

Poll: Which code repository do you use most?
Which repository do you use?
Which repository is your primary choice?
From James Bowes' article, A code hosting comparison for open source projects:
If you're starting a new open source project, or open sourcing some existing code, you'll need a publicly accessible location for the version control system holding your code (if you're not planning on setting up a publicly accessible VCS, reconsider; no public source control is a red flag to potential contributors). You could set up your own repository hosting, but with so many companies and groups offering existing setups and services, why not use one of those and save yourself some time?
Read more on SourceForge, GitHub, Google Code, Gitorious, and Bitbucket from his article.
If your not familiar with Codeplex it's Microsoft's free open source project hosting site.
What qualities do you look for in a repository? Share in the comments or tweet to us @opensourceway.

Launchpad missing?
Launchpad.net is important one. It uses Bazar (bzr) as its code management system. It's OK.
My project: https://launchpad.net/audio-recorder
you for got an option named "All of the above"
which is what I use.
GitHub for public project, Bitbucket for private. Both use Git. I don't know other repositories. I would like to know more about these. I'd appreciate if you tell develop a little more (which VCS used, capacity limit for free account, any specific, etc.)
You forgot "Apache", "Eclipse", and the like - i.e. open source foundations that host multiple projects on their own SCM's. Kind of like Codeplex, but with actual organization and shared standards.
When using Git (or I would imagine other distributed version control systems) then it is largely about choosing which hosting location should be writable. It is very easy to then mirror to the other services for redundancy, and as many of them provide free hosting for open source projects why not use them to mirror your repositories?
I use GitHub, Assembla and own repository based in Apache.
I do love me some Github. I've started doing everything with them (hosting my web page, keeping research notes, etc). I like how it keeps track of all of the projects I interact with, helping me build a public portfolio of my most important contributions to the software world.
I like to say that Github is an action-oriented social network: all of the conversations and interactions take place in the context of working together on projects. It's a much more authentic form of communication in my eyes. :)

Among troubling aspects of the Internal Revenue Service scandal is that since it began making headlines, they have moved closer and closer to President Barack Obama. That is a pattern in common with several other White House scandals in the past.
Also in common have been denials, step by step, that wrongdoing reached high levels of government.
When IRS harassment of conservative groups was revealed, the administration's claim was that only "low-level" employees at the agency's Cincinnati office were aware of and participating in it.
But by Friday, it had been revealed - by press investigating, not a forthcoming attitude in the Obama administration - that IRS Deputy Secretary Neal Wolin was aware of the scandal by no later than June 2012. That was before the November election in which Obama won re-election.
It strains credulity to the breaking point to believe Obama was not made aware of the situation. One common trait of presidents for many years has been complete intolerance of aides who keep them in the dark about scandals that could threaten their re-election plans.
And remember, it has been just weeks since the IRS scandal was claimed to be a matter purely involving "low-level" employees. Already it has moved next door to the Cabinet Room in the White House.
The attempted coverup concerning the terrorist attack on Sept. 11 - also just weeks before the election - of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, is another example of a scandal the administration at first dodged entirely, then attempted to pin on relatively low-level officials. At last report, then-State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland had insisted on editing "talking points" about the attack to remove some references to terrorists - purely for political reasons. That revelation moved the Benghazi coverup, too, closer to the White House.
Those and other controversies continue to smolder. It is time for Congress to insist on investigations of all of them - even if the "chips" fall in the Oval Office.

It's official. Garth Brooks is hitting the road once again.
In what is certain to delight millions of his music fans, the country superstar, 51, announced his latest world tour in an appearance Monday on Good Morning America.
"Our baby is a senior in high school. We talked about it, all my babies are fine with it. Miss [Trisha] Yearwood is fine with it. So now I get to do what I love to do, which is play music," Brooks told the show's host Robin Roberts of winning his country-star wife and his three daughters' approval for a return to touring.
After making a decision in 2000 to stop touring or recording until his daughters were grown, the Oklahoma native and Country Music Hall of Fame member had limited his stage stints. He had starred since 2009 in a one-man show at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel.
Now, with the blessings of those closest to him, the artist who has sold more than 100 million records, returns full-time to music with his full band. "It sure feels good to throw your hat back into the ring," he said.
"My children are off on their own ... I'm a phone-call dad now – that's where I'm at," Brooks, who became a new grandfather in July, added of his decision. "I feel very lucky to have three healthy children and they are getting ready to step off onto their paths in the world."

MORGANTOWN - West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen blasted the play of his inside receivers Thursday, saying one of the running backs may eventually move into that slot.
"We are going to move Daikel Shorts inside," the coach said. "You do not move guys unless you are displeased with what you are looking at. I will defend each and every one of those guys."
Holgorsen said he could come up with "plenty of excuses" as to why the play of those receivers looks bad. He said junior college transfer Mario Alford has only been practicing for two weeks, Devonte Mathis and Vernon Davis have never played in college, others are true freshmen and Jordan Thompson and Dante Campbell "haven't practiced for a week, week and half" because of shoulder problems.
"None of us want to hear them," Holgorsen said. "I do not want to hear them. I do not want to look at them. You guys do not want to hear them; you may write about them, probably. But it is what it is. We need to get guys in here that we trust and like. Which one of those guys is going to develop into an all-Big 12 performer? I don't know yet. The talent is there. They just need to keep playing. We are not discouraging them. With that said, we play a game in two weeks, and we have to get guys ready to play."
Newcomer Charles Sims, who transferred from Houston to play his final collegiate season at WVU, is getting a look at playing as an inside receiver, as are fellow running backs Dustin Garrison, Andrew Buie and Wendell Smallwood.
"Charles Sims could be our best inside receiver," Holgorsen said. "He's a good player. He's very well-rounded. His ball skills are good. But there's only one of him. We can't clone him and put him in two different spots at the same time."
Holgorsen said Sims is cut from the same cloth as Tavon Austin, a first-round draft pick of St. Louis this spring. He said Sims' abilities allow for him to start "scheming.
"I am not comparing him to Tavon at all," the coach said. "There aren't many guys who can play several different spots. They're hard to come by."
Holgorsen said there is a possibility of moving sophomore Cody Clay to one of the inside receiver slots. True freshman Elijah Wellman could also figure into the mix there, as could linebacker-turned-fullback Garrett Hope.
"We need to figure out what the plan is," the coach said. "We don't know what role (Wellman) will play. We're still about a week away from that. Moving Garrett Hope to fullback has alleviated some of our need for (Wellman) there, but he's going to be a great player for us. Whether we want to waste a year on him being a third-team fullback, we don't know. That decision hasn't been made."
Holgorsen said that receivers Connor Arlia and Will Johnson have left the Mountaineers, and Holgorsen had nothing but praise for the pair.
"Great kids, but they just want to go play," he said. "I will release them to anywhere that they want to go so they can go get themselves in a position where they can play ball."
