Vanguard Group shook up the cloistered world of stock indexing this month with plans to dump benchmark-maker MSCI MSCI 0.5028735632183908% MSCI Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD83.94 0.42 0.5028735632183908% /Date(1475269322929-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 436467 AFTER HOURS USD83.94 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 62514 P/E Ratio 34.26122448979592 Market Cap 7903413578.82111 Dividend Yield 1.334286395044079% Rev. per Employee 403445 More quote details and news » (ticker: MSCI), a cost-cutting move that affects an unusually large number of investors. In the short run, the shifts probably don't change much about fund performance. Over time, though, they should help low-cost Vanguard push its fees even lower.
The change also suggests that the rivalry between Vanguard and BlackRock's BLK 1.4640427735632506% BlackRock Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD362.46 5.23 1.4640427735632506% /Date(1475269523829-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 549833 AFTER HOURS USD362.46 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 30581 P/E Ratio 19.32089552238806 Market Cap 57967715409.0027 Dividend Yield 2.527175412459306% Rev. per Employee 863385 More quote details and news » (BLK) iShares may lose a flashpoint or two. Dropping MSCI means ceding more institutional investors to iShares, as BlackRock's exchange-traded-fund unit knows that much of its core institutional market is wedded to MSCI benchmarks. But Vanguard could widen its already substantial appeal to individual investors if it keeps squeezing costs. (For more on the Vanguard/BlackRock rivalry, see feature. "BlackRock on a Roll".)
Yet a third take-away from Vanguard's move is the rise of indexing techniques that promise to reduce several large, popular funds' trading costs. Investors should welcome the new methods.
In the next several months, more than half a trillion dollars of Vanguard mutual-fund and ETF assets will move to indexes created by the U.K.'s FTSE Group and the University of Chicago's Center for Research in Security Prices. Chief among the 22 affected funds is the Vanguard Emerging Markets VWO 0.7226980728051392% Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 37.63 0.27 0.7226980728051392% /Date(1475283600004-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 18803975 AFTER HOURS 37.6 -0.03 -0.07972362476747276% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 482715 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 4.783417486048366% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (VWO), the top ETF asset-gatherer of the past five years, which will get a makeover as it switches to a FTSE index. In the biggest change, the fund's 16% South Korea weighting will disappear, removing stocks such as Samsung Electronics (005930.Korea) and Hyundai Motor (005380.Korea).
There is also a notable change for the popular and broad Vanguard Total Stock Market VTI 0.7876154263986963% Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 111.33 0.87 0.7876154263986963% /Date(1475283600000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1717774 AFTER HOURS 111.33 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4840 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.9365849276924458% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (VTI). This fund will add more micro-cap and small-cap stocks to the thousands of shares it already tracks. Performance shouldn't see much of an impact in either case, although the road is paved for expense cuts, which can matter hugely for long-run performance.
The bigger consequence may be to take some of the heat off BlackRock's iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index EEM 0.4290694556181282% iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 37.45 0.16 0.4290694556181282% /Date(1475283600004-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 81122669 AFTER HOURS 37.35 -0.1 -0.26702269692923897% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4416468 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.4204699599465955% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » fund (EEM), whose 0.67% expense ratio compares unfavorably to VWO's 0.20%. BlackRock recently pledged to reduce expenses on certain core ETFs, and EEM is where many analysts look. But EEM is set to become unique again because of the index change. "If you're an institution and you need an MSCI benchmark, you probably can't use a Vanguard ETF anymore," says Doug Sipkin, a senior analyst at Susquehanna Financial, a market-making firm that deals in BlackRock's stock.
Sipkin predicts BlackRock might not need to cut EEM fees as steeply in light of the Vanguard news, or even at all. Step back from the details and the take-away might be this: The more that Vanguard focuses on cost and small-time investors' needs, and iShares on trading and other institutional issues, the less the two companies need to beat each other up with price cuts and other enticements.
Of course, there are plenty of other ETF providers ready to step in and heighten competition, as Charles Schwab SCHW 2.867383512544803% Charles Schwab Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD31.57 0.88 2.867383512544803% /Date(1475269375128-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 8434785 AFTER HOURS USD31.57 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 322224 P/E Ratio 27.57686932215234 Market Cap 40602994335.7108 Dividend Yield 0.8869179600886918% Rev. per Employee 455425 More quote details and news » (SCHW) has recently done. The firm dropped its ETF expense ratios to category lows last month, a move that included sending the Schwab U.S. Broad Market SCHB 0.8092485549132948% Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 52.32 0.42 0.8092485549132948% /Date(1475283600002-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 544849 AFTER HOURS 52.2 -0.12 -0.22935779816513763% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 675 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.3081039755351682% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (SCHB) and the Schwab U.S. Large-Cap SCHX 0.7809449433814916% Schwab U.S. Large-Cap ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 51.62 0.4 0.7809449433814916% /Date(1475283600001-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 506353 AFTER HOURS 51.62 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1456 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.4087562960092987% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (SCHX) to an expense ratio of four basis points, or 0.04%, the lowest cost of any ETF.
SPEAKING OF COMPETITION, there's another underappreciated dynamic of the Vanguard shift: new indexing practices. The University of Chicago's Center for Research in Security Prices, which has provided data to financial researchers for decades, uses a practice known as "packeting" to guide index funds' buying and selling of stocks. As a stock grows in size, the method allows the stock to be shared between two indexes -- large-cap and mid-cap, for instance -- which relieves index funds of the need to buy or sell an entire stockholding when that stock graduates from one designation to another. This should reduce the splash that a $10 billion or $20 billion ETF makes when it buys and sells chunks of stock on the open market.
The research center's indexes also use randomly selected days to determine the market-capitalization figures used to rank stocks, which serves to cut down on the information available to would-be arbitrageurs. Investors should applaud those changes, ignoring suggestions that they make the portfolio less transparent.
"There's no magic here," says Rodney Comegys, head of index analysis and ETF trading at Vanguard. "One of the goals of CRSP's indexes is to be objective and not opaque."

Larry Platt leaves helm of Philadelphia Magazine
June 26, 2010
By Michael Klein, Inquirer Staff Writer
Larry Platt, the high-profile and irreverent editor of Philadelphia Magazine, stepped down Friday after a "difficult" meeting with the magazine's owners. Both sides declined to specify what led to his ouster. The magazine's president, David H. Lipson Jr., said Platt's departure "happened kind of fast" and said "not one thing" had been at issue. Platt e-mailed his staff to describe a meeting Thursday with Lipson and his father, the magazine's chairman, D. Herbert Lipson. Platt wrote that "it became clear to me that my time here at Philly [Mag]
Letters: Former Philadelphia magazine editor Larry Platt talks about 'tackling'
July 1, 2010
IN HIS reporting of my leave-taking as editor of Philadelphia magazine, Dan Gross included in his description of my "un-bosslike" behavior "tackling in the hallways. " To be clear, there had been no tackling in the hallways of Philadelphia magazine since 2003, which is when I rescinded my Mandatory Coed Tackling Policy, in large part due to my very responsible concerns for workplace safety. Interestingly, before rescinding the policy, then-staff writer Sasha Issenberg, though short, was a particularly adept tackler.
Dan Gross: Larry Platt quits Philadelphia magazine after 8 years
June 26, 2010
By Dan Gross
P hiladelphia magazine on Thursday parted ways with editor Larry Platt, who was at its helm for nearly eight years. Platt's contract with the magazine is up in August, but after returning to work Thursday following shoulder surgery, he was informed that he would not stay on, we're told. Sources tell us the decision was largely due to Platt's history of inappropriate and unprofessional remarks and jokes to his employees that closely resembled the behavior of fictional "The Office" boss Michael Scott.

"You want me to help you wash your car?" the man said. It took a few minutes for the shock of recognition to take hold. "Oh, my God!" Clay said. "David Brenner! Man, what are you doing here?" "I used to live here," the 75-year-old comedian said, smiling. "I heard you grew up in this 'hood.

Bad reputations, good copy Rebel athletes fascinate author and editor Larry Platt - not the bold-headline behavior, but the complexity underneath it.
May 21, 2002
By Annette John-Hall INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Athletes, more than anyone, have helped shape Larry Platt's cultural sensibilities. Platt was 6 and watching a young, willful boxer named Muhammad Ali on The Dick Cavett Show with his father, a white, Cold War Democrat. He recalls how his father, having one of those lightbulb-clicking-over-the-head moments, kept muttering, "He's right, he's right," as the defrocked heavyweight champion eloquently defended his antiwar position on Vietnam. Platt also remembers watching creative superstars such as Julius Erving soar through the air on his TV screen, and afterward, feebly attempting to replicate what he'd seen - lofting shot after shot in his Main Line driveway - and thinking, "I wonder what those guys are really like?"

Letters: Philadelphia Schools Superintendant Arlene Ackerman vs. teacher Hope Moffett
April 5, 2011
AAS A supporter of Superintendent Ackerman, I've been following the story of teacher Hope Moffett. I believe that DN editor Larry Platt had a fanciful column on the topic. Facts are missing, intentionally or not, that would show that not only was Hope not in a "teacher jail" or "held hostage" for using free speech, but that Ackerman and the SRC were not punishing her at all. Platt seems to send out a false alarm to students, teachers and readers when he says Hope had to cope with severe punishment because of the power of Ackerman and the SRC. And he dared to drag Kenny Gamble into the mix as if Gamble wasn't concerned about civil-rights education and fair change unless his charter school is set up. The facts are that Ackerman courageously followed the rules governing teacher conduct.
Alan Halpern, magazine editor

By Gayle Ronan Sims INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Alan Halpern, 79, of Society Hill, editor of Philadelphia Magazine from 1951 to 1980, died of renal failure Tuesday at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Described in a 1988 Inquirer story as "shy and soft-spoken, a cigarette addict who seemed to hide in a cloud of smoke," Mr. Halpern suffered from heart disease the last several years. When Mr. Halpern - newly returned from Paris, where he had worked for a picture magazine while attending the Sorbonne - joined the magazine, he was the only one in the office.
Furloughs ordered for Phila. Magazine workers
June 24, 2009
By Michael Klein INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Bowing to the economic pressures in the media industry, glossy-magazine publisher Metrocorp has ordered one-week furloughs for workers at its publications, including Philadelphia Magazine and Boston Magazine. The furloughs, which must be taken in 2009, followed salary cuts earlier this year among Metrocorp's Philadelphia-based management. Philadelphia Magazine editor Larry Platt, named five months ago to the new post of editorial director to oversee both magazines, said he had taken a 10 percent cut himself and would also take a furlough, "but I will come in to work.

A $10,000 prize - for voting in Phila.
October 24, 2015
By Claudia Vargas, Inquirer Staff Writer
Philadelphia residents: If you trouble yourselves to vote Nov. 3, you might win $10,000. Seriously. That was the scheme laid out Thursday, showcased in part by two ex-rivals - former Mayor John F. Street and three-time Republican mayoral candidate Sam Katz, whom Democrat Street twice defeated. They teamed up to promote voting in a city that has seen abysmal turnouts in recent years. "Desperate times require desperate measures, and this is certainly the case," Katz said at a LOVE Park event announcing what promoters billed as a lottery.

AS FAR AS Bill Platt was concerned, there's a right way of doing things and a wrong way, and anything in between is suspect. And Bill didn't hesitate to call out anyone who violated this principle, be it politicians, government officials, greedy business executives, incompetent doctors or referees and umpires with vision problems. He would fire off an angry letter with the slightest provocation, making it unquestionably clear how he felt about anyone who didn't abide by his code of honor and responsibility.
Local writer lands CBS series with 'Lost' star as the lead
November 6, 2013
By Molly Eichel
LOOK OUT , Silver Linings Playbook author Matthew Quick : There's another Philly-area teacher-turned-author making waves in Hollywood. John Dixon 's novel, Phoenix Island , will be the basis of the upcoming CBS thriller "Intelligence," starrin g Josh Holloway ("Lost") and Marg Helgenberger ("CSI"). The show will premiere in February. What's more is that the catalyst of Phoenix Island , which doesn't hit bookshelves until January, is based on a state current event: the kids-for-cash scandal in which two Luzerne County judges took kickbacks for sending kids to privately run juvenile detention camps.
Moyer still trying to defy the ages
September 9, 2013
CHECK OUT Jamie Moyer's fingernails when he signs a copy of the new book he co-authored with Larry Platt. If his fingernails are long and pointy, Moyer ain't retiring anytime soon, not until he's tried to come back one more time, this time as a knuckleballer. You can remind him he's 50, you can tell him that even though the pitch flutters, there is still serious strain on the arm to throw it, that most catchers can't catch it, that most managers dread its possible side effects. Tell him, but you'd be wasting your breath.

Two years ago, we at Germantown Academy were fortunate to have Davis visit our school and speak with students and faculty, enlightening them about the realities of war and the personal toll that it has taken on our brave young warriors.
Inquirer Editorial: Wildwood pants patrol: Don't let them down
June 7, 2013
Many young people today follow a dress code that requires their pants to bare more than their elders can bear. Towns and schools around the country have adopted laws and policies attempting to force young men and women to pull up their sagging pants. A Brooklyn legislator even launched a "Stop the Sag" billboard campaign. Wildwood is the latest municipality to enter the fray in a misguided effort to tone down its image as a boozy party spot. Its proposed trouser threshold would be one of several regulations governing attire on the Shore town's boardwalk.

Larry Platt: A disrupter one can bank on
November 26, 2012
Larry Platt, For the Inquirer
Vernon Hill was calling from London, where his book - Fans! Not Customers: How to Create Growth Companies in a No Growth World - hit shelves a few weeks ago. "Do you know how many times I've been told I'm crazy?" asked the founder of the old Commerce Bank, who is now upending the staid industry across the pond with Metro Bank, Britain's first new bank in more than 100 years. "They say it a lot less after I sold Commerce for $8.5 billion, but they still don't get it. "In 2000, the market capitalization of Apple was $5 billion.
Clout: Reality show will invade U.S. Rep. Bob Brady's real House-life
November 8, 2012
BOB BRADY, the city's Democratic Party chairman for 26 years and a member of the U.S. House since 1998, is finally ready for his close-up. Brady, who was easily re-elected to another two-year term Tuesday, made the political rounds during the general election with a camera crew following closely. Brady said that Larry Platt , former editor of the Daily News and Philadelphia magazine, pitched a reality show on his life since Brady's not as "stuffy" as most members of Congress.

I looked forward to making this recipe for weeks in advance, but I was dissapointed :( First, 5 leeks was A LOT of leeks, so I used three large instead. I used approximately 15 fresh chestnuts, and I served all atop of linguine. The taste wasn't terrible, it just wasn't as delectable as I had anticipated.

It's Texas' Turn to battle with Polygamy
By Rick Barrs
More than 400 young girls have been freed from the bonds of "spiritual marriage" to older men as the result of a police raid of a polygamist compound operated by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in San Angelo, Texas.
Phoenix New Times wrote about this Texas compound on November 10, 2005, as polygamists began to relocate there after authorities descended on the fundamentalist Mormon capital of Colorado City, Arizona (and adjacent Hildale, Utah) looking for FLDS Prophet Warren Jeffs, among others charged with sexual abuses of young girls within the religion. Jeffs has since been convicted in Utah and faces trial in Arizona. The story on Jeffs and the compound, "Wanted: Armed and Dangerous," was part of a series of articles on the FLDS by writer John Dougherty. Not only did Dougherty's New Times stories, dating back to October 3, 2002, reveal that the FLDS was forcing underage girls into sexual unions with adult males with multiple "wives," he discovered that the fundamentalist church was fraudulently misusing state and federal funds in the Colorado City public school system. Check out the New Times special report: Polygamy in Arizona.

These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. The new Chloé underlines that you are a trendsetter. For the current season the renowned label sets the standards with its collection for 2016. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of CE675Sin our 2015, and 2016 Chloé range.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Chloé back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.

The compounds of the present invention are trifluoro pyridinyl phosphorothioates which correspond to the formula ##STR2## wherein R represents alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R1 represents OR, phenyl or ethyl.
In the present specification and appended claims the phrase alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms is employed to designate straight or branched chain alkyl groups containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
The compounds of the present invention are oily liquids or solids at ambient temperatures and are soluble in many common organic solvents, such as, for example, carbon tetrachloride, acetone, toluene, methylene chloride, dimethylformamide and the like and are of low solubility in water. These compounds have exceptional activity in the kill and control, when used in insecticidally-effective amounts, of soil insects especially the larvae of the western spotted cucumber beetle. These active compounds may be formulated with the usual insecticide carriers, well known to those skilled in the art, to provide insecticidal compositions for the above use.
The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by the reaction of an alkali metal salt of 3,5,6-trifluoro-2-pyridinol with an appropriate phosphorochloridothioate in the presence of an inert organic solvent. This reaction can be characterized as follows: ##STR3## wherein R and R1 are as hereinbefore set forth and M represents sodium, potassium, lithium or cesium. No attempt has been made to present a balanced equation. If desired, the reaction can be carried out in the presence of a catalyst.
In carrying out the above process, the alkali metal salt is usually prepared first by providing a mixture of the pyridinol starting material, alkali metal carbonate, and the solvent. This mixture is heated at from about 25� C. to about 50� C., with agitation, until formation of the alkali metal salt of the pyridinol takes place, usually from about 1 to about 2 hours. At this time, the appropriate phosphorus reactant is added thereto. The resulting reaction mixture is maintained at about 15� C. to about 100� C., with agitation, until the reaction is substantially complete, usually from about 1 to about 8 hours.
Upon completion of the reaction, the product mixture is cooled, the insolubles filtered therefrom and the solvent is removed. The residue is taken up with a solvent such as methylene chloride and washed with water. The methylene chloride layer is dried, filtered and distilled under reduced pressure to remove the solvent therefrom. The resulting product can be used as prepared, however, if desired, it can be further purified by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art.
Ordinarily, substantial equimolar proportions of the pyridinol and phosphorus reactants and the alkali metal carbonate are employed. However, the alkali metal carbonate and the pyridinol starting material can be employed in slight excess of the stoichiometric requirements in order to insure the obtainment of the highest yields.
Catalysts useful in carrying out the present process include tertiary amines having a pKa of at least about 9.5 as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,928,370; co-catalyst which are mixtures of quaternary ammonium as phosphonium salts and organic teritary amines such as taught in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,907,815; 3,917,621; 4,007,197 and 4,016,225 which includes quaternary ammonium compounds such as tetraalkyl ammonium salts, such as tetra-n-butyl-, tetrahexyl-, tri-n-butyl methyl-, cetyl trimethyl-, trioctyl methyl- and tridecyl methyl ammonium chlorides, bromides, bisulfates, tosylates, etc.; arylalkyl ammonium salts, such as tetrabenzyl-ammonium chloride, benzyl trimethyl-, benzyl triethyl-, benzyltributyl-, and phenethyl-trimethylammonium chlorides, bromides, etc.; arylammonium salts, such as triphenyl methyl ammonium fluoride, chloride or bromide, N,N,N-trimethylanilinium bromide, N,N-diethyl-N-methylanilinium bisulfate, trimethyl naphthyl ammonium chloride, p-methylphenyl trimethyl ammonium chloride or tosylate, etc.; 5- and 6-membered hetrocyclic compounds containing at least one quaternized nitrogen atom in the ring, such as N-methylpyridinium chloride or methyl sulfate, N-hexyl pyridinium iodide, (4-pyridyl)-trimethylammonium chloride, 1-methyl-1-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane bromide, N,N-dibutylmorpholinium chloride, N-ethylthiazolium chloride, N-butylpyrrolium chlorides, and the like; additionally, mercuric chloride and other such materials known for use in similar preparative procedures can also be employed.
The following examples illustrate the present invention and the manner by which it can be practiced but as such should not be construed as limitations upon the overall scope of the same.
A mixture of 7.0 grams (g) (0.047 mole (m)) of 3,5,6-trifluoro-2-pyridinol, 7.0 g (0.05 m) of potassium carbonate, 0.1 g of HgCl2 and 100 milliliters (ml) of acetonitrile was stirred at 50� C. for one hour. The mixture was cooled to ice bath temperatures while 7.5 g (0.042 mole) of O,O-diethyl phosphorochloridothioate was added in one portion. The mixture was heated at 40�-45� C. for three hours and thereafter allowed to cool to room temperature. The insolubles were filtered off and the liquid phase distilled under reduced pressure at 40� C. until all the solvent was removed. The resulting oil was taken up in 300 mls of methylene chloride and washed three times with 150 ml portions of water. The methylene chloride layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and distilled under reduced pressure at 40� C. until all the solvent was removed. The product was an oil, and had a refractive index of n25/D=1.4726. The structure of the product was confirmed by NMR analysis. (Compound 1).

The compounds of the present invention have been found to be useful for the kill and control of the undesirable agricultural insects of the class known as soil insects, and especially in the kill and control of insects such as the larve of the western spotted cucumber beetle. The compounds are highly active and both kills the insects outright and prevents adult emergence from the juvenile forms of the insects. In such applications, the insect to be controlled and/or its habitat is contacted or treated with an insecticidally effective amount of one or more of the compounds of the present invention.
For all such uses, these compounds can be employed in unmodified form. However, the present invention embraces the use of an insecticidally-effective amount of the active ingredients in composition form with a chemically inert material known in the art as an adjuvant or carrier.
Thus, for example, compositions employing one or a combination of these active ingredients can be in the form of a liquid, a granule, or a dust; and the adjuvant employed can be any one of a plurality of materials including aromatic solvents, petroleum distillates, propellant substances, surface-active dispersing agents, light absorbers and finely-divided carrier solids.
The exact concentration of one or a combination of the compounds of the present invention in a composition thereof with an adjuvant therefor can vary; it is only necessary that one or a combination of the compounds be present in a sufficient amount so as to make possible the application of an insecticidally-effective or inactivating dosage.
Suitable adjuvants of the foregoing type are well known to those skilled in the art. The methods of applying the solid or liquid insecticidal formulations are similarly well known in the art.
The insecticidally-effective dosage desirable for effective use of preparations containing active compounds will naturally depend on various factors such as the active ingredient or ingredients chosen and the form of preparation. Moreover, the activities of the compounds of the present invention against different insects will vary slightly from compound to compound. Generally, for practical applications, one or a combination of these active ingredients can be broadly applied to the insect larvae or their habitat in compositions containing from about 0.001 percent to about 98 percent by weight of the compounds.
In the preparation of dust compositions, these compounds can be compounded with any of the finely-divided carrier solids such as pyrophyllite, diatomaceous earth, gypsum and the like. In such operations, the finely-divided carrier is ground or mixed with one or a combination of the compounds, as active agent(s), or wetted with a solution of the active agent(s) in a volatile organic solvent. Similarly, dust compositions can be compounded with various solid dispersing agents, such as fuller's earth, attaplugite and other clays. These dust compositions can be employed as treating compositions or can be employed as concentrates and subsequently diluted with additional solid dispersing agents or with pyrophyllite, diatomaceous earth, gypsum and the like to obtain the desired amount of active agent in a treating composition. Also, such dust compositions can be dispersed in water, with or without the aid of a surfactant, to form spray mixtures.
Furthermore, one or a combination of the compounds or a dust concentrate composition containing such compound(s) can be incorporated in intimate admixture with surface-active dispersing agents such as ionic and nonionic emulsifying agents to form spray concentrates. Such concentrates are readily dispersible in liquid carriers to form sprays containing the toxicant(s) in any desired amount. The choice of the dispersing agent and amount thereof employed are determined by the ability of the agent to facilitate the dispersion of the concentrate in the liquid carrier to produce the desired spray composition.
Granular formulations are usually prepared by impregnating a solution of the toxicant in a volatile organic solvent onto a bed of coarsely divided attapulgite, bentonite, diatomite, organic carriers such as ground corn cobs, walnut hulls, or the like.
In the preparation of liquid compositions, one or a combination of the products can be compounded with a suitable water-immiscible organic liquid and surface-active dispersing agent to produce an emulsifiable liquid concentrate which can be further diluted with water and oil to form spray mixtures in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. In such compositions, the carrier comprises an aqueous emulsion, that is, a mixture of water-immiscible solvent, emulsifying agent and water. Preferred dispersing agents to be employed in these compositions are oil soluble and include the nonionic emulsifiers such as the polyoxyethylene derivatives of sorbitan esters, complex ether alcohols and the like. However, soil-soluble-ionic emulsifying agents such as mahogany soaps can also be used. Suitable organic liquids to be employed in the compositions include petroleum oils and distillates, toluene, liquid halohydrocarbons and synthetic organic oils.
An aeorsol preparation according to the invention is obtained in the usual manner by incorporating the active substance and a solvent in a volatile liquid suitable for use as a propellant, such as the mixture of chlorine and fluorine derivatives of methane and ethane commerically available under the trademark FREON�.
When utilizing the active ingredients of the present invention, one or a combination of the active ingredients or a composition containing such is applied to the insects or to their habitat in any convenient manner, for example, by means of hand dusters or sprayers or by simple mixing with the food to be ingested by the insects or larvae. Application to the foliage of plants is conveniently carried out with power dusters, broom sprayers and fog sprayers. In such foliar applications, the compositions to be employed should not contain any appreciable amounts of any phytotoxic diluents. In large scale operations, dusts or low volume sprays can be applied from aircraft.
Seventy-five grams of air-dried soil were placed in an 8-ounce container. To the soil was added sufficient volume of a 400 ppm aqueous dispersion, prepared by admixing a predetermined amount of one of the hereinafter set forth compounds, dissolved in a suitable inert solvent, with a predetermined amount of water and a predetermined amount of a surfactant, to give various predetermined concentrations of the toxicant in the soil on a soil-chemical basis. The treated soil was air-dried and thoroughly mixed. To each treated container, and control containers treated with water and surfactant alone, was added 0.5 milliliters of an aqueous suspension of the eggs of the Western spotted cucumber beetle (WSCB) (70-80 eggs of 3-4 days old). Additional treated soil was used to cover the eggs and a corn seed was placed in the soil and covered with additional treated soil. The containers were thereafter maintained under conditions conducive to the growth of the seeds and the hatching of the eggs. Ten to twelve (10-12) days after treatment, the containers and the plants therein were examined to determine the minimum concentration in parts of active compound per million parts of the ultimate dispersion necessary to give at least a 100 percent kill and control of the larvae from the hatched eggs. The results of this examination are set forth below in Table 2.

The 3,5,6-trifluoro-2-pyridinol starting material is prepared by reacting, in water, one molar proportion of 2,3,-5,6-tetrafluoropyridine with two molar proportions of a 20% NaOH solution. The thus-formed reaction mixture is stirred at reflux until substantial completion of the reaction, usually from about 4 to about 8 hours. The reaction mixture is thereafter cooled, and its water phase is seperated, and made acidic with a concentrated HCl solution, whereupon the resulting product is filtered as a solid. Additional product may be recovered by extracting the water phase with methylene chloride. The product layer is then seperated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and distilled. The desired 3,5,6-trifluoro-2-pyridinol product is a white solid, m.p. 93�-96� C.
The phosphorus starting materials, and methods of preparing the same, are well known to those skilled in the art.
