Book Review: Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind, and Naked
Rappers aren't writers! Are they? That's what most people think. "They just rap there isn't much depth to them". But what happens when a rapper realizes there is more to their life than the music they create? That's where Malice of The Clipse comes in. With a desire for people to see the man behind the music he lays it all on the line in his debut book "Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked".

PastorAD3 Announces 'No Pain, No Love' Album
PastorAD3 is riding high, with a new album dropping June 28th, 2011.
In spite of all our differences and no matter how diverse we all are, there are two things that ring common throughout the history of human existence: pain and love. It doesn't matter where you're from, what gender you are, what color you are, or your economic status-pain and love are the invisible threads that connect us one to another.
There's a popular phrase in our culture that says "No Pain, No Gain". It speaks of the necessity and inevitability of pain in order to produce gain. Pastor AD3 begs to differ. 2000 years ago on a hill called Golgotha, hanging between two thieves, battered and bruised was the ultimate example of love. However, within that ultimate example of love there was also the ultimate example of pain. From the perspective of Christ's cross the phrase goes from "No Pain, No Gain" to "No Pain, No Love"- speaking of the excruciating pain that was felt while the ultimate love was being expressed.
No Pain, No Love is a collection of songs that highlight the seasons of pain as well as the seasons of love in the real life of Pastor AD3. It allows the listener to see AD3's heart and attitude concerning his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Most have only heard AD3 while being featured on other artists' music. Now it's the world's chance to hear his heart as it relates to his God. Come and take a journey through the life of an anointed psalmist. With songs like "Copycat" that expresses the needed desire of all believers to imitate the Father as dear children, to ballads like "Deeper" and " Feature Presentation" there is an array for everyone. No Pain, No Love also has the familiar style of AD3 with catchy hooks, hard beats and punchlines in the songs "What You Drinkin' On?" featuring new comer Erica Danae and "Bag'em" featuring A-1 the LP, Dre Sr., and Sauce Remix. The tract "The Way You Do It" features HiSociety member Swoope and expresses man's need for correction and the believer's perspective of the chastisement of the Lord. The album also features Thi'sl, KamB.I.N.O., D-MAUB, and more.

A Letter of Help from Tony of Hazakim
Dear Lamp Mode & Hazakim Supporters,
Some of you are aware of the medical issues I have been facing in recent months. About 4 months ago I began having problems swallowing food & liquids. The problem got progressively worse until I was unable to eat or drink nearly anything. I finally went to the doctor and, after a number of tests, discovered that I have a rare esophagus disease called achalasia. Essentially, the nerves of my esophagus, as well as the sphincter muscle which leads into my stomach, do not work to allow food to pass. Because of this, I am unable to eat most things and am limited to a liquid diet consisting mainly of Ensure & vitamin drinks. Pizza has never looked so good!

If advancements in TV technology have told us anything about what people want, it's that no one wants to leave home ever again, and everyone hates their cable boxes. If you despise the internet, the LA7400 series is certainly not for you, but you aren't reading this anyway. These TVs are packed with streaming services, games, sharing features, and useless apps galore.
We recently reviewed LG's 2013 Google TV, the G3; while the G3 and the LA7400 series are quite similar in terms of picture quality, the G3 ultimately claims the upper hand, due to better overall functionality and price. The 47-inch LA7400 we tested carries an MSRP of $1799.99—nearly $450 dollars more than its Google-powered counterpart.
Opinions around the office vary, but this TV's design is nothing if not unique. The gunmetal stand and invisible bezel blend nicely into a variety of settings, true, but there's something clumsy and overweight about the curved, crouching stand; its metal, hefty construction feels vaguely robotic. Is it a bot or a TV? Can it attack my enemies? Worst of all, the red LG logo is obnoxiously out of sync with the rest of the scheme.
As far as connections go, users have plenty to choose from. Facing out on the left side are three HDMI hookups and three USB ports, and on the back of the same side are shared composite/component ports, an antenna in, digital and audio outs, and an Ethernet port. There is also a set of buttons on the back right side, for channel change, volume, inputs, settings, and power.
For the controller, the LA7400 ships with an unconventional Magic Remote, which uses a combination of voice and gesture functions to man the TV. We discuss these functions in more depth below, but we should mention the lack of any sort of traditional remote. Number buttons are evidently a thing of the past.
If you're shopping for a new TV, but secretly you just want a living room robot, the LA7400 is a fair bet. Television is just part of what this bright behemoth offers.
Press the voice button and a cartoon girl in a tight red jumpsuit will appear. Awkward but true. After a ditzy moment of thought (wherein the user contemplates the role of femininity in technology), a word bubble materializes nearby, which is your cue to speak: Say, "Katie Perry videos"—a YouTube video with the candy-clad singer will appear. Ask for a website, a Katherine Mansfield story, a movie, how to roller skate—the cartoon babe will get what you want—most of the time.
Voice commands launch comprehensive searches for content, too. After a fairly simple setup to sync your cable box to your remote, a voice search for a movie or TV show will tell you where you can get that particular selection, and how much it costs to rent or buy (based on your subscriptions): cable TV, Netflix, Hulu Plus, RedBox Instant, Crackle, CinemaNow, and Vudu are all included in one sweeping search.
The little Magic Remote doesn't stop there; shake it in your hand and a cursor appears on the screen, which you control with wrist movements. Users click on a selection by pressing the ball in the center of the remote—which doubles as a scroll wheel. Users can even control the cable box with this remote. And yes, while watching live TV, by holding down the scroll wheel, you can draw a number onto the screen to change the channel. But I'll be clear: This is a complete gimmick. It's all fun and games until you realize that your magic remote has no number buttons, so in order to get to channel 849, you must either say it or draw it, neither of which gets it right every single time. And don't expect to find a full QWERTY keypad either, like on the G3; typing is absolutely miserable. You will definitely need a crutch, like a smartphone remote app or a USB keyboard.
Rounding out the gimmicks is an NFC sticker that ships with the TV. If you're an iPhone user, move on. This is not compatible with your device. For all of you Android users: Enable NFC on your phone, make sure the TV and the phone are on the same network, touch the sticker to the back of your phone, and download the two—yes two—LG apps that pop onto the screen. This will allow control of the TV via phone, and network sharing as well. And to top things off, look for four very comfortable pairs of passive 3D glasses that ship with the LA7400.
Before we get too caught up in the smart feature fanfare, let's consider this machine's primary function. Much like the G3, the LA7400's picture is adequate, but not breathtaking. To begin with, it doesn't get especially dark, so its depiction of an inky black scene won't be as convincing as it could otherwise be. Luckily, most regular content consists of a balanced mix of darks and lights, and since this LED can get bright as blazes, the picture looks great most of the time, despite its dark deficit. But be sure to sit front-and-center, because the viewing angle on this TV is extremely narrow.
The LA7400's colors didn't exactly dazzle us either, with overly vibrant reds and blues, and blueish white levels that required toying with the settings. This is not a TV that you can unwrap, slap in the living room, and begin watching immediately; you will need to toy around with the extensive settings to capture just the right look, since some of this TV's presets are downright tangerine.
But aside from all that, the TV performs well. Even though some colors are overly vibrant, they do transition from one hue to the next quite smoothly, rendering a detailed, polished picture. And motion looks excellent too. This TV boasts a 240 Hz refresh rate, meaning it pulls data 240 times every second, so blurring and jagged pictures won't be an issue here. In fact, the motion is so smooth to begin with, that even the lowest motion processing setting on this TV renders a strange, overly-processed image—meaning it simply begins to show you too much, lending that unpleasant soap opera effect.
Testing talk aside for a moment, though, my experience with this TV was that in a windowless setting, things looked really great. Colors were bright and clear, motion was smooth, and even from an angle the picture looked attractive. However, when I moved it to Reviewed.com's sunny break room, and got stuck at a table on the left side of the room with my Magic-playing coworkers, not only did the picture look terrible due to a loss in contrast, but the screen was marred by all sorts of reflections. Instead of enjoying the program on TV, I wound up staring at one of our programmers the whole time—who was seated on the opposite end of the room, and appeared in great detail on the TV's shiny screen.
Picture quality like this on a TV half the price would be one thing, but a price just shy of two grand is another story; the 47-inch LA7400 carries an MSRP of $1799.99. Definitely look for this on sale—we found it online for about $1200. Sure, much of what you're paying for is features—but that's exactly the point. If you're looking for top-dog picture quality, move on.
And speaking of features, if you're comparing LG's 2013 Google TV, the G3, and the LA7400 series, here's a tip: The G3 has better smart controls, namely the full QWERTY keypad on the back of its much-better remote. Believe me, that goes a very long way on a smart TV. In terms of picture quality? The two series are nearly identical. Compare your streaming subscriptions, though, as the offerings vary on each.

UVB radiation causes formation of specific DNA damage photoproducts between adjacent pyrimidine bases. These DNA photoproducts are repaired by a process called nucleotide excision repair. When left unrepaired, UVB-induced DNA damage leads to accumulation of mutations, predisposing affected individuals to carcinogenesis as well as to premature aging. Regulation of nucleotide excision repair is an attractive avenue to preventing or reversing these detrimental consequences of impaired nucleotide excision repair. Recent studies on molecular mechanisms regulating nucleotide excision repair by extracellular cues and intracellular signaling pathways, with a special focus on the molecular regulation of individual repair factors are reviewed by Palak Shah and Yu-Ying He in the paper "Molecular Regulation of UV-Induced DNA Repair" on pages 254 – 264 in this issue.

Ray Charles, Bluesy Essence of Soul, Is Dead at 73
Published: June 11, 2004
(Page 3 of 3)
After recording ''Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Vol. 2,'' Mr. Charles settled into an office building and studio in Los Angeles that remained his headquarters ever since. He returned to rhythm and blues for his other major 1960's hits: ''Busted'' in 1963 and ''Let's Go Get Stoned'' in 1966. But he was also recording standards, country songs and show tunes.
In 1965 Mr. Charles was arrested for possession of heroin. He spent time in a California sanatorium to shake his addiction and stopped performing for a year, the only break during his long career. When he emerged he resumed his old schedule: touring for up to 10 months with the big band and releasing an album or two every year. He started his own label, Tangerine, which released albums through ABC and on its own. In the mid-1970's he started another label, Crossover, which released albums through Atlantic.
His presence on the pop charts had dwindled, but he was still widely respected. In 1971 he joined Aretha Franklin for the concert she recorded as ''Aretha Live at Fillmore West.'' His version of Stevie Wonder's ''Living for the City'' won a Grammy in 1975. His autobiography became a best seller in 1978. In 1979 his version of ''Georgia on My Mind'' was named the official state song of Georgia, and in 1980 he appeared in the movie ''The Blues Brothers.''
During the 1980's Mr. Charles returned to the charts, this time in the country category. The boundary-crossing Southern music he had envisioned with ''Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music'' had been not just accepted, but treated as natural. He signed to CBS Records's Nashville division and made ''Friendship,'' an album of duets with 10 country stars, which included songs with George Jones and Willie Nelson that reached the country Top 10 in 1983. He sang ''America the Beautiful'' at the Republican National Convention in 1984.
In 1986 Mr. Charles was one of the first musicians inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He received a Grammy for Lifetime Achievement in 1987, and in 1989 he appeared on Quincy Jones's album ''Back on the Block,'' winning another Grammy in 1990 for a vocal duet with Chaka Khan on ''I'll Be Good to You.'' All in all he won a dozen Grammys for his recordings, as well as the achievement award. Also in 1990 he turned up in television ads for Diet Pepsi, singing, ''You got the right one, baby, uh-huh!''
Mr. Charles's private life was complicated. He was divorced twice, and leaves behind 12 children, 20 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.
Among his numerous awards were the Presidential Medal for the Arts, in 1993, and the Kennedy Center Honors in 1986.
In the interview earlier this year, Mr. Charles said that, having aged, he could sing only music that moved him in a way that he could not quite define.
''I guess I'm kind of a strange animal,'' he said. ''What works for me is songs that I can put myself into. It has nothing to do with the song. Maybe it's a great song. But there's got to be something in that song for me.''
Asked if most of his songs were not suffused with sadness, he shrugged and said: ''To be honest with you, I sing what I feel, what I genuinely feel. That's it. No airs.''

You don't have to be a Master Gardener to have beautiful espalier fruit trees in your own backyard. Depictions of espalier fig trees have been found on the walls of Egyptian tombs and throughout the art of the middle ages. But in the 21st century, espalier fruit trees are popping up more and more in the back yards of Americans.
The art of espalier is when trees and branches are pruned and trained to be on one plane. They're commonly found up against a wall or fence. Not only is the look a classic focal point in your landscape, but it helps to maximize your growing space. Espaliering can help keep your fruit trees in check while still providing you with a bountiful harvest. Implementing an espalier tree still requires maintenance throughout your growing season, but no more than any other backyard fruit tree.
To begin the process, plant your tree 6-10 inches from a wall or fence. If your tree is bordering a walkway, you will need to build or purchase a frame trellis and train your tree's young branches to it.
There will be 2 major times you'll be pruning your espalier fruit trees:
This will take up to 4 years of training and pruning to have a great-looking tree and a bountiful fruit harvest.
I love to espalier the following edibles, all available at Stark Bro's:
Peaches, Persimmons, & Plums
Once you pick the location and the type of edible plant to use in your garden, it's time to pick what style of espaliering. There are many styles to try. I hope to have as many different styles in my garden as I can. The most popular patterns are the following:
One main trunk is grown in a horizontal direction or multiple tiers of branches are trained horizontally along the wall, fence, or support. This is great to use with grapevines along a short fence — or a fruit tree against a wall. The lattice pattern is best accomplished by planting multiple trees close together, depending on the amount of space you have and the size of the lattice you want. Then branches are trained to intertwine in a lattice pattern. This is a perfect pattern to try with fruit trees as a border along a walkway, or as a hedge along a short fence.
One main trunk with branches trained symmetrically to grow at a 45 degree angle. This style is perfect to use with a pear tree up against a wall.
So as long as the ground hasn't frozen where you are, order your trees from Stark Bro's and get them in the ground so you can have fresh fruit and a great looking garden.
Enjoying the fruits of my labor,
Great article, good illustrations.
I love espaliered fruit trees, thanks for the tips.
Will Stark Bros. select and sell apple (or/and other fruit) trees who branches are growing in such a way that they can be espaliered into a 2-rail fence like the one in Monet's garden. See the photograph on http://giverny-impression.com/espaliered-apple-trees/.
Would standard or semi-dwarf trees accomplish this look the best (or dwarf)?
Great article. With all the junk on the internet, you have presented quality material. Thanks
I'm planting a 2-in-1 asian pear and was thinking of doing this w/ it. Any comments?
I think it is important to mention that the tree needs to be on dwarf root stock to save a lot of hassle whacking it back. Also, there are certain types of trees that are not suitable based on where/how they bear their fruit. It would be sad to find out the hard way after you have crafted the perfect form that you will not get fruit! The people at Stark Bros can recommend the good varieties.
I am more or less a amaturer gardener and have planted 7 apple trees with the intention to espalier them against fencing around my raised bed potager garden. The trees were planted two years ago. I have just learned that many of them are tip bearing trees and do not work for espalier. The trees are: Fuji (tip bearing), Pixie Crunch (tip bearing), Honey Crisp (2 trees, spur bearing), Granny Smith (tip bearing), Pink Lady (tip and spur bearing), and Florina (partial tip bearing). Is there any possibility of forcing them into a espalied form, or should I dig them up and start again? If so, what varieties are best for this purpose?
Thank you for any suggestions you might be able to give.
Thanks so much Sarah…I was feeling kinda bummed about it yesterday since I just planted the trees this weekend. Sounds like it will be ok:)
So would it be possible to allow shoots off the main laterals to grow a little longer to try and encourage fruit growth there? Or will they still only fruit off the tip?
In addition, I'm getting ready to top my trees to encourage the lateral growth. One of my trees has several 3-4″ branches coming off right below where I want to top it. I know I want my next vertical cordon to come out of the bud immediately below my cut…what should I do since the next 3 buds down have these 3-4″ branches already coming off? I was thinking of just topping it below those branches? (Does this make any sense to you?)
Thanks so much for your help!
That is what I was thinking. I'll cut the tree off below the small branches and then train the laterals up to the wire. I thought I was buying whips. How do you tell?
How much should I water my newly planted bareroot trees? They haven't "woken" up yet.
Sure wish I had found your blog BEFORE I started. Ohwell, it will still work out.
Hi Sarah- I wish I had read all of this before buying and planting since none of the other articles I've read ever mentioned SPUR trees.However I'm going to keep the gala and the honeycrisp trees and hope for the best. I did get your semi dwarf trees and since they have branches pretty much exactly where I wanted for 2 cordons of espalier , do I still need to cut them at the first cordon and wait for them to regrow?Or should I leave them and just trim the excess. I've only planted them a few weeks ago and haven't done any pruning. Thanks
I am thinking about espaliering some of my fruit tree's, and I am just wondering if it will cut down on the fruit production of the tree.
I have a fenced in vegetable garden and would like to add some Espaliered fruit trees (apple, pear, peach & cherry) to be trained on wires connected to the fence posts inside the garden.
I am expecting that I will need to spray these trees to keep the worms out of the apples, etc. and am concerned how that might affect my vegetables growing nearby?
Just an update and a few questions.
My trees are all doing great and growing like gangbusters.
#1: One of my apple trees is sending up a lot of suckers (from the roots). Is there anyway to discourage this? Is this ok, as long as I pinch them off?
#2: My laterals and verticles are growing great. At what point should I start tying my laterals down? Should I wait until the end of the growing season, or should I "tie" them down as they grow?
Thanks for your help!
I have some Stark trees that I'm espaliering. I planted them about 3 weeks ago and they are beginning to leaf out nicely. It is now June 2nd in Pennsylvania. There are allot of leaves emerging on the trunk where I don't want to start branches. Can I just cut them back against the trunk, removing them now or do I need to wait until after July?
So my trees are growing wonderfully. I've been training them along the wire and everything is going great. There is not only a lot of leave along the laterals, but a few "branches" beginning to grow off the laterals. Should I cut these off entirely or let them get 4-5″ long? Will fruit form off of these smaller branches?
How high should the espalier go? Is 6 feet OK for the highest wire? Can different trees be mixed (e.g. pear, persimmon, cherry, apple) and what is the best distance between each tree?
Can you recommend pear trees suitable for Chicago?
I really do like this site. Stark will be my choice for trees this fall. Need shade and fruit/nut trees on west side of house. Espalier on house with smaller or newer plantings at the edge of the lot should provide natural insulation and food too! I have raspberry, grape, and blackberry training on the south deck already.
Sarah and Meg Rock! Thanks for all the info, maybe you two should start writing a book? I bought a honeycrisp from stark bros last year and can't wait to start the art of espalier. I'll send pics once I have something I'm proud o.
How do you recommend tying the branches to the wall?
I was so excited to see this blog and discussion of espaliers – I'm another amateur gardener starting 4 espaliers in my garden. 2 were purchased as espaliers. Two I purchased because they seemed to have branches in good spots, and I've been training. While after 1 year, they both look good, it turns out my Granny Smith is definitely a tip-bearer (oops!) and the Winesap, I'm not sure – I purchased it from a garden center without doing my research first. I'm wondering if it is only the Starkspur winesap that is a spur-bearer, or if all winesaps are spur-bearers? It is young so I don't see any fruit blossoms this year. I don't know if that's because I pruned them all off, or if it is a tip-bearer like the Granny. For each of these trees, I've established 3 tiers of laterals. Now I'm wondering about your previous advice:
"If you allow the shoots off the main laterals to grow, they do have the ability to become fruiting wood so that would increase your chances at fruit, but it may overtax the tree so I wouldn't recommend allowing for too many of those while the tree is young."
It seems this may be my only chance at getting fruit from these trees. How far apart should I space the shoots if I do this, to avoid taxing the tree.
On another subject, I have a red delicious that I also pruned strongly to try to train in an espalier. The only thing that survived is one very wimpy lateral branch, which has a few leaves, 1 blossom this year. For 3 years I haven't had the heart to get rid of the tree, since it's (barely) alive. Is this a good candidate for trying a graft and thereby giving it another branch? (I've never grafted but have always been intrigued by the process) Or should I assume the root system is too weak to handle this? It now looks like I'm getting a little growth off the trunk below the first branch – do you think there may be hope for this as a super-dwarf (it's only branch is at 18″ so I finally took off the main leader since it wasn't doing anything). Or is it a lost cause, in your experience?
Thanks so much for your super blog and advice!
We are planning to do a pear tree espalier against a chain link fence as the tree was planted very near the fence and the espalier is an afterthought. Do you foresee a problem with this idea? The tree is already taller than the chain link fence and the 6 or 7 branches are young and flexible. We are thinking of simply tying the branches to the fence in the pattern of choice that works well with the tree. Thank you.
Hello, could you tell me why they suggest to cut the tree back instead of training the lateral shoots that come off the whips. Is there a benefit to cutting the main back vs training the lateral shoots. Thank you for your help.
We are preparing a trellis for an esplaniered apple tree. That part is easy because there is a lot of good instruction on the web. Our question is about grafting. We'd like to have a tree with 3 or 4 grafts, different types of apple. My friend has a great esplanier with 4-5 different apples and it is wonderful. We don't even know what apples we want, or where to buy a grafted tree, or if it's something that must be done along the way. Would you speak to this subject please. Thanks.
I am in the planning phase of a fruit tree espalier project and I'm trying to figure out how many trees I can fit into my space, which is 56′ long and 8′ wide. The spacing recommendations I've seen vary widely, from as little as 2′ between trees to as much as 20′. I want to squeeze as many varieties as I can into my space without compromising the health or productivity of the trees. Is 6-8′ enough for trees on dwarfing rootstock? Or should I give them a minimum of 10′? I want to plant apples, apricots, figs, peaches, and pomegranates. Can some be kept smaller than others? Lastly, is 8′ enough between two rows of espaliered trees? I was thinking of having the ones against the fence trained into a taller fan style, while those set 8′ out would be kept low as single or double cordons.
I've taken five Stark Bros trees and set them up to be espaliered. Fuji, Maxi Pear, 2n1 Asian Pear, Blushing Golden and Honey Crisp. (I have 18 Stark trees total) You can follow the progress here http://www.italiangardening.com/2013/06/frutteto-spalliera-espaliered-fruit.html
I've setup a four tiered trellis to train horizontal branches. I was worried about not using spur type trees but I've noticed on my non espaliered trees that any branches that form from main branches will also produce fruiting spurs.
Question: I've seen and understand how to do the Espalier form, my question is can it be done with nut trees, I am in the planning phase for a small espalier orchard, and all the directions talk about fruit trees. I REALLY would like to do pecans.
I am in Colorado and have started two espalier trees against a south facing fence, one granny smith and one braeburn. Didn't know about the tip / spur thing when we started, but love granny smith apples so we are going to give it a go anyway. The braeburn is doing great, whereas the granny smith has struggled somewhat.
My question is this; the granny smith has two horizontal branches, but the vertical shoot was broken at the main vertical trunk and has not reappeared. As mentioned, the granny smith has been struggling, so perhaps it will throw a new vertical shoot at some point. Do I just need to wait patiently or is there something I can or need to do to encourage a new vertical?
(The granny smith horizontals are about 3/4 to 1 inch below the angle cropped main stem and are about 12-16 inches in length trained along the wire).
Much thanks in advance for any advice.
I just received the fruit trees that I ordered from Stark Bros. and I have to say that I'm extremely pleased with not only the quality of the trees, but with their prompt delivery and
Stark's excellent customer service! We want to espalier these fruit trees, and we've never done that before. How far apart should the trees be planted? I understand the basics of espalier, but have just never done it myself, so I'm a bit apprehensive about what to cut off and what to leave. Past comments and your responses have been very helpful. I will definitely order from Stark's in the future and highly recommend this company to everyone who is looking to buy fruit or nut trees.
I just purchased an Asian pear tree that is already espaliered with two
Horizontal rows. It's in a rather large pot and didn't come with any information on planting. I would like to plant it against my chimney which gets the most sun, but would like to know how to plant the root ball. Should I use a fertilizer or mulch and should I score the root ball when transplanting in the ground?
I was happy to see the photo of the Espaliered Pear. It is the one at the Cloisters Museum, NYC. I know, because I contract to care for the Trees there. I prune their Medieval collection. Don't be daunted by experimenting with pruning styles. Trees are very forgiving, fruit trees are resilient, the results will be inspiring. Stark trees are high Quality, I recommend my clients buy them for small orchards and experiment with unusual styles of pruning. Have Fun!
I'm interested in espaliering 1 or 2 peach trees against a wooden fence. The most commonly recommended form is the fan. Some experts say not to use horizontal cordon forms because peaches fruit on first year wood. I do understand why spur bearers are easier to prune to a horizontal form; however, I don't quite understand why a peach couldn't be trained to this form, too. Could you advise me if this is possible and, if so, what do I need to know to make it work? Thanks.
I'm planning on creating a horizontal fence with espalier pear trees. I would like it to be about 6ft tall. Is it Ok to use standard sized trees to do this?
Are freedom, liberty, Cortland, Gravenstein, Rome spur fruiting? Would one variety of apricot be better to espalier? Please comment on disease resistance as well. I'm In central il.
I have s question. Can you espalier dwarf trees in a large container?

Sheriff helicopter crashes near Tucson, one dead
All three passengers are hospitalized with one in critical condition and two in serious condition
Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — A Pima County Sheriff's Department helicopter crashed on the side of a rugged mountain Monday, killing the pilot and injuring all three passengers.
Authorities said one person was in critical condition at a Tucson hospital, and the two others were in serious condition.
Sheriff's officials said pilot Loren Leonberger, 60, had been with the department since November 2008. He was a Vietnam veteran with more than 40 years' experience flying helicopters and previously was a pilot for the Army National Guard, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and Arizona Department of Public Safety, officials said.
Sheriff's officials wouldn't immediately confirm whether the survivors were department employees.
The Hughes 500 helicopter went down on Waterman Mountain about 11 a.m. Monday as the four-person crew was scouting an area in the Ironwood National Forest for possible locations for radio communications towers.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the helicopter crashed under unknown circumstances in mountainous terrain about 39 miles northwest of Tucson International Airport.
Gregor said officials from the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board would be investigating the crash.
Rescuers had to hike up Waterman Mountain to reach the crash site, which is in rugged terrain inaccessible to vehicles. Once at the site, the rescuers put the passengers in baskets that were lifted by a rescue helicopter overhead, according to Deputy Jason Ogan, a sheriff's department spokesman.

Pengwei Du has been the Principal Investigator (PI) or Co-PI of more than $2.0 million in research grants on renewable integration, demand response and wide-area monitoring and control at PNNL. Dr. Du was the recipient of a GE Global Research Center Fellowship in 2004 and 2005, and received a PNNL Outstanding Performance Award in 2009. He has been major author for over 40 journal articles, conference papers, and technical reports. Dr. Du holds two U.S. patents and has two pending. He is Guest Editor-in-Chief for Special Issue on "Energy Storage Applications for Smart Grid" in IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid. Dr. Du was also an adjunct professor at Washington State University (Tri-Cities) in 2012.
Dr. Du's research work lies in development of smart grid technologies to make future power grid more reliable, affordable, efficient, and secure. He envisions that the complex future energy power systems are characterized by 4Is, i.e., customer-oriented applications resulting from large-scale deployment of smart meters, intermittency brought by variable resources, intelligence added by enabling technologies, and information-centric operations bridging what the communication networks are capable of doing and what the operations of grid need. The projects which Dr. Du participated or led were broadly sponsored by the Department of Energy, Battelle, Western Electricity Coordinating Council, California ISO, Bonneville Power Administration, and Idaho Power. His practical knowledge and industry experiences have helped him not only to find the "right" solution to the problems, but more importantly, the "right" problems to solve. His pioneering work has been highly cited, and helped the energy industry to transition into a efficient, reliable, and smart future grid.
Some of his high-impact work include, but are not limited to,
1) At RPI, invented the concept of Non-detection Zone (NDZ) and two anti-islanding protections to enable the interconnection of small-sized distributed generators with the researchers at GE Global Research Center. One joint paper has been cited over 300+ since 2004.
2) At PNNL, co-developed the method to validate and calibrate the parameters of synchronous machines using phasor measurement units (PMUs). Model validation and calibration is one of three critical applications for PMU (arguably) besides the wide-area angle separation and low-frequency oscillation monitoring. By 2014, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has helped to bring the total of installed PMUs to more than 1,100, offering nearly 100 percent coverage of the transmission system in USA.
3) At PNNL, invented the concept of Appliance Commitment with Professor Lu at NCSU, and this is the first pioneering work (arguably) which systemically proposed the framework and formulation for customer-oriented optimal control so that the appliances can do what the generators are doing today.
4) At ERCOT, part of team to develop the pioneering framework for Future Ancillary Services to integrate a large amount of wind/solar generation into the grid. ERCOT leads the United States with over 12 GW of installed wind capacity. The challenges and problems addressed by this framework are also mentioned in recently-issued concept paper in NETWORK OPTIMIZED DISTRIBUTED ENERGY SYSTEMS (NODES) from ARPA-E, or Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy.

Fall girls' soccer player capsules
Coach of the Year: Ken Skipper, Jesuit (Portland, Ore.)
Win or lose, the Skipper was jumping ship.
Ken Skipper had decided before the season that 2009 would be his last as the girls' soccer coach at Portland (Ore.) Jesuit after 12 years. Only school administrators and family knew of his decision, and all were on hand as Jesuit defeated rival Westview 2-0 to capture the program's fifth state title. At a party following the contest, he finally told the team of his decision to retire. In 12 years as Jesuit's coach, Skipper's teams won 10 league titles and compiled a 178-17-18 record.
Player of the Year: Kealia Ohai, Alta (Sandy, Utah)
The honor is titled player of the year, but to truly appreciate Ohai's value is to look at the entire career worth of performances. The North Carolina-bound forward was the Deseret News Miss Soccer and the Salt Lake Tribune Class 5A MVP after scoring 34 goals with 13 assists and leading Alta to a record fourth straight state title. Alta finished the season ranked No. 30 in the ESPN RISE FAB 50. Ohai led or tied all Utah Class 5A players in scoring all four years in high school. She finished her career with 126 goals as Alta won 74 of the 80 matches (74-5-1) it played with her in the lineup.
Elizabeth Burchenal, St. Ursula (Cincinnati, Ohio), Sr.
Burchenal is a repeat ESPN RISE first-team selection. The North Carolina-bound forward had 37 goals and 14 assists this past season while being named the Ohio State Soccer Coaches Association Division I Player of the Year. Burchenal finished her career with more than 100 goals to become the school's all-time leader in goals and scoring. St. Ursula was the preseason No. 1 team, but was upset in the season opener. The squad went on to win 18 straight matches before a postseason loss that landed the squad at No. 22 in the final FAB 50 rankings for the fall.
Crystal Dunn, South Side (Rockville Centre, N.Y.), Sr.
The North Carolina-bound striker missed last season while playing for the U.S. under-17 team at the World Championships. Dunn returned to high school ball this fall and earned Newsday's Long Island Player of the Year honors after helping South Side to a Class A state title and a No. 9 final ranking in the ESPN RISE fall rankings. Dunn had 20 goals and 11 assists and had a goal and/or assist in all but one match.
F: Kealia Ohai, Alta (Sandy, Utah), Sr.
See Player of the Year.
Taylor Schram, Canon-McMillan (Canonsburg, Pa.), Sr.
Schram was one of the nation's top scorers, finishing the season with 52 goals and 13 assists. The Penn State commit was the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Player of the Year. Schram finished her career with 145 goals and 45 assists.
Sarah Bridges, Jesuit (Portland, Ore.), Sr.
Bridges' value to Portland Jesuit went well beyond the numbers. This Portland-bound senior led Jesuit to its first state title since 2002 and the ESPN RISE FAB 50 fall No. 1 ranking. Bridges, who had nine goals and seven assists, was the Portland Oregonian Class 6A player of the year. Her coach, Ken Skipper, said Bridges rates among the top five players he's ever coached and said she was often the player who set up the play that led to goals.
Hayley Brock, Acton-Boxborough (Acton, Mass.), Sr.
Brock, like Samantha Mewis and Crystal Dunn, returned to play high school soccer in 2009 after spending the 2008 fall with the U.S. under-17 national team. Brock's 31 goals and 14 assists helped Acton-Boxborough to a state runner-up finish and a FAB 50 No. 23 final ranking. Despite missing most of her junior season, Brock ended with 75 career goals and 39 assists.
Kaitlyn Kerr, Pennington School (Pennington, N.J.), Sr.
After Kerr helped her club team win a national title in the summer, she almost added a second high school title to the record books. However, Pennington Prep finished No. 5 in the FAB 50 following a 16-1-2 season where Kerr dominated the show. The Duke commit had 15 goals and a school-record 20 assists, and she was named the Prep Player of the Year by the Newark Star-Ledger. Kerr ended her career with 52 goals and 50 assists.
Samantha Mewis, Whitman-Hanson (Whitman, Mass.), Jr.
Mewis is one of the nation's most decorated youth players, yet she made time to represent her high school. Mewis, who was recently called into the under-20 national team camp with college players, was dominant on the high school side, scoring 32 goals with 12 assists to earn Patriot League MVP honors. A junior who has committed to UCLA, Mewis was the Boston Globe Division 1 Player of the Year. Mewis missed the 2008 season while playing for the under-17 U.S. national team in the World Championships. Her return to Whitman-Hanson led to the program's first Division 1 South title and a No. 47 FAB 50 final ranking.
Meagan Morris, Montclair (N.J.), Sr.
Morris was named the Star-Ledger Player of the Year following a 19-goal, 10-assist season for the North Carolina-bound midfielder. Morris is a member of the U.S. under-18 national team.
Kirsten Frank, Archbishop Spalding (Severn, Md.), Sr.
Frank was the anchor on defense for a Spalding team that shut out 15 opponents and went 20-0-1 to earn the FAB 50 No. 3 final ranking. Frank was a Washington Post and Baltimore Sun All-Met first-team selection. The Ohio University commit started 85 of the program's 86 games over the past four years.
Kassey Kallman, Woodbury (Minn.), Sr.
Kallman was the nation's top high school defender and has the numbers to prove it. The Florida State commit anchored a defense that shutout 34 of the last 45 opponents it faced. Kallman was the only girls' soccer defender named state player of the year, earning the Minnesota State Soccer Coaches' Class AA Miss Soccer honor. Kallman's play helped Woodbury to a FAB 50 No. 15 final ranking.
Ashley Szalwinski, Noblesville (Ind.), Sr.
Repeating perfection was impossible, yet Szalwinski proved her 2008 season was no fluke. After helping Noblesville shutout every team it faced in 2008, Szalwinski returned in 2009 to record 14 shutouts and post a 0.30 goals against average. She was named to the Indiana Soccer Coaches Association first-team all-state squad. She has committed to Duquesne.
The fall girls' soccer state-by-state listing includes those players who were selected to the first-, second- and third-team All-America lists by ESPN RISE.
This list was compiled by ESPN RISE editor Sheldon Shealer after consulation with coaches and journalists from around the country. The players are listed in alphabetical order within each state with their school, class and college commitment (if applicable).
