bees, pesticides and food security
" ...These chemicals are nerve poisons that are toxic even at very low doses
and persist in plants and the environment. They affect the information-processing abilities
of invertebrates, including some of our most important pollinators...
The evidence is very clear. We are witnessing a threat to the productivity of our
natural and farmed environment equivalent to that posed by organophosphates or DDT.
Far from protecting food production the use of neonics is threatening the very
infrastructure which enables it, imperilling the pollinators, habitat engineers
and natural pest controllers at the heart of a functioning ecosystem... "
(from: The David Suzuki Foundation, February13,2015)
No matter how you feel about Ontario's proposal to restrict use of neonicotinoid insecticides on corn and soybean crops, we can all agree: bees matter. But as important as bees are, there's more at stake. Neonics are poisoning our soil and water. This problematic class of pesticides needs to be phased out globally to protect Earth's ecosystems. By implementing restrictions now (the first in North America), Ontario will have a head start in the transition to safer alternatives.
Not surprisingly, Ontario's proposal has drawn the ire of the pesticide industry.
Neonics have only been around for a couple of decades, but annual global sales now top $2.6 billion. They were initially embraced because they are less directly toxic to humans than older pesticides and are effective at low levels, reducing the volume used. They can be applied to seeds and are absorbed into the plant, which then becomes toxic to insect pests, reducing the need to spray.
We now know these characteristics are the problem. These chemicals are nerve poisons that are toxic even at very low doses and persist in plants and the environment. They affect the information-processing abilities of invertebrates, including some of our most important pollinators.
Bees have borne the brunt of our unfortunate, uncontrolled experiment with neonics. Beekeepers report unusually high bee death rates in recent years, particularly in corn-growing areas of Ontario and Quebec. Virtually all corn and about 60 per cent of soybean seeds planted in Ontario are treated with neonics. A federal Pest Management Regulatory Agency investigation concluded that planting neonic-treated seeds contributed to the bee die-offs.
Europe reached a similar conclusion and placed a moratorium on the use of neonics on bee-attractive crops, which took effect last year.
Critics emphasize that other factors — including climate change, habitat loss and disease — affect pollinator health. But these factors are not entirely independent; for example, chronic exposure to neonics may increase vulnerability to disease. A comprehensive pollinator health action plan should address all these factors, and scaling back the use of neonics is a good place to start.
Apart from the immediate and lethal effects on bees, neonics represent a more subtle threat to a wide range of species. The 2014 Worldwide Integrated Assessment of the Impacts of Systemic Pesticides, the most comprehensive review of the scientific literature on neonics, pointed to effects on smell and memory, reproduction, feeding behaviour, flight and ability to fight disease. Jean‐Marc Bonmatin, one of the lead authors, summarized the conclusions: "The evidence is very clear. We are witnessing a threat to the productivity of our natural and farmed environment equivalent to that posed by organophosphates or DDT. Far from protecting food production the use of neonics is threatening the very infrastructure which enables it, imperilling the pollinators, habitat engineers and natural pest controllers at the heart of a functioning ecosystem."
Is there some uncertainty involved in calculating these risks? Absolutely. Uncertainty is at the heart of scientific inquiry. The precautionary principle requires that where there is threat of serious or irreversible harm to human health or the environment, the absence of complete scientific certainty or consensus must not be used as an excuse to delay action. In the case of neonics, the weight of evidence clearly supports precautionary action to reduce — or even eliminate — them.
Ontario's proposal to restrict the use of neonic-treated corn and soybean seed, starting next year, is far from radical. The idea is to move away from routinely planting neonic-treated seeds and use neonics only in situations where crops are highly vulnerable to targeted pests. The government expects this will reduce the uses of neonic-treated corn and soybean seed by 80 per cent by 2017.
It's no surprise that the pesticide industry and its associates oppose even this modest proposal and are running expensive PR campaigns to obscure the evidence of harm. The industry's objection to restrictions on neonics is eerily similar to big-budget advertising campaigns to create a smokescreen thick enough to delay regulatory responses to the obvious harm caused by cigarettes.
Let's hope today's decision-makers have a better grasp of the precautionary principle and a stronger commitment to protecting the public good, because bees really do matter.

old pope, new pope, same pope
in case you were under the impression that Francis is somehow different from Joey Ratz...
Pope Francis gave his blessing on Wednesday to a referendum
that would ban marriage and adoption rights for same-sex couples
in Slovakia, which will be voted on this Saturday.
"I greet the pilgrims from Slovakia and, through them,
I wish to express my appreciation to the entire Slovak church,
encouraging everyone to continue their efforts in defence of the family,
the vital cell of society,"
Francis said during Wednesday's general audience in Rome.

special pleading
The union said the UN should then issue a "law criminalising
contempt of religions and the prophets and all the holy sites".
from Yahoo News, January 20, 2015
Doha (AFP) - A leading Islamic organisation has called on the United Nations to make "contempt of religions" illegal and urged the West to protect Muslim communities following the attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo.
The latest cartoon of the prophet in Charlie Hebdo has angered many Muslims and triggered protests in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
In a statement released Tuesday, the union said there should be protection for "prophets" and urged Islamic countries to submit a draft law to the UN calling for defamation of religions to be outlawed.
The union said the UN should then issue a "law criminalising contempt of religions and the prophets and all the holy sites".
It also called for the West "to protect Muslim communities from attacks, whether they are citizens or residents or visitors".
The union has condemned the publication of a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed holding a "Je suis Charlie" sign under the headline "All is forgiven" in the first Charlie Hebdo edition since Islamist gunmen killed 12 people in an attack on its offices.
Qaradawi, 88, is seen as a spiritual guide of Egypt's banned Muslim Brotherhood, the movement of ousted former president Mohamed Morsi.

Lawrence Krauss: Science, Religion, and Culture in light of Paris and Charlie Hebdo
from: Smith & Franklin Academic Publishing, Special Issue: Islam, Culture, and the Charlie Hebdo Affair
Guest Editorial: by Lawrence Krauss (Foundation Professor of the School of Earth and Space Exploration and Inaugural Director of the Origins Project at Arizona State University)
Lawrence Krauss: Science, Religion, and Culture in light of Paris and Charlie Hebdo
I am terribly discouraged, not just by the senseless violence in Paris, but by the response worldwide to both the publication of content by Charlie Hebdo before the killings and by the mass protests throughout the Islamic world to the bittersweet cover published the week following that tragedy.
As a scientist who has spoken out and written about the incompatibility between the world's major organized religions and the empirical evidence about the universe that science has provided over the past four centuries, I receive many emails from the faithful, from a variety of religious backgrounds. While fanatical fundamentalists have responses that are relatively similar, what is striking to me is the number of letters I get from well-meaning followers of Islam who somehow are convinced that the actual words of the Qur'an actually scientifically anticipated the description of the world that science has produced in the fifteen centuries or so since the book was written. This derives from the notion, which also has been conveyed to me by many, that the book is 'perfect', every word the direct speech of God, and therefore it not only could not have been written by an ordinary mortal, but it can also not be in error in any way.
Perhaps because the Judeo-Christian scriptures are so much older, there has been much more time for theologians in these sects to sensibly acknowledge the facts that the words contained therein must be interpreted as products of the humans who wrote them, and of the time in which they were written. While some zealots still maintain the ludicrous notion that the Earth is 6000 years old, this is not the official doctrine of the leaders of these religions. While they nevertheless maintain the sacred nature of the inspiration for the bible, very few assert the Bible itself is so sacred that it cannot even be discussed intelligently and skeptically by people who would like to better understand that document and their own place in the cosmos.
However, this does not seem to be the case in the Islamic world, and this is what makes the current dilemma so urgent, and what implies that Charlie Hebdo, and other publications that ridicule politicians, sex, and religion with equal force are so important.
Hate speech involves people, not ideas. No idea should be sacred in the modern world. Instead, in order for us to progress as a species, every claim, every idea should be subject to debate, intelligent discussion, and when necessary ridicule. Satire is perhaps one of the most important gifts we have to inspire us to re-examine our own lives and our own ideologies. If every other area of human endeavor is open to ridicule, then certainly so should religion. The notion that a cartoon, which presents an image of a historical figure, is so blasphemous to provoke violence is repugnant to anyone who believes that free and intelligent discourse is the basis of a civilized world.
This means that we need to encourage even ridicule of the sacred Qur'an in the public media. The more frequently and openly this appears, the less threatening it will seem, and the more acceptable it will be for believers to actually intellectually engage rather than emotionally and violently act.
The biggest threat to the peaceful and sustainable progress of human civilization in the 21st century, with challenges ranging from global climate change, to energy and water shortages, and the oppression of women throughout the world, is a refusal to accept the empirical evidence of reality as a basis for action. Those who feel they know the truth in advance, and therefore cannot even listen to alternative arguments, are not just part of the problem, they are the problem.
This is the reason that religion is, in my opinion, on the whole a negative force in the world. In spite of the charity and empathy it may generate among many, because it asserts as true notions that clearly are incompatible with the evidence of reality, it inevitably engenders actions that are irrational. These range from the innocuous to the deadly.
Science has taught us to revel in the idea that we do not understand all there is to know, that cherished notions may in fact be wrong. It teaches us that claiming to know the answers to questions before they have even been asked or explored is folly.
Some have argued that because ridiculing sacred notions is offensive to believers, it is inappropriate for such ridicule to be carried out in the public sphere. However, we choose whether to be offended. An appropriate response is not to condemn the offender but rather to generate intelligent arguments that demonstrate they are wrong. If we shy away from such dialogue for fear of offense, we will never allow those who are offended the opportunity to examine and defend their beliefs. If we shy away from dialogue for fear of reprisal by those who would rather their children not learn about the world out of fear that knowledge will undermine their faith, we have given in to ignorance and repression. That should offend us all.
Long live Charlie Hebdo. Long live ridicule. Long live satire. Our culture and our world are the better for them.

Grizzly NuTreats Wild Salmon Dog Treats 12 12
Good ingredients and priced right These are a nice, small size treat- a little bigger than kibble and according to Wilson, quite tasty! We use them for rewards and to have on hand when we go on off-leash dog walks (he doesn't go far when these are in my pocket :) I am always looking for American made, grain, rice and barley free treats without a lot of filler and unhealthy stuff, and these fit the bill. The price is right too! March 7, 2013
Great product Great for training, especially for dogs with food allergies. February 9, 2013
it may be good for the dog, but it stinks. the fish oil also smells bad., but in moderation I can tolerate her breath. December 29, 2012
GSD loves it, but very crumbly My 8 month old GSD loves this treat. He'll do a back flip to get one. However, from a practical standpoint, I won't be getting it again as it crumbled in my hand, and oh man...it stinks like a fish. LOL. It is a good, quality product, regardless. November 9, 2012
My dogs love these I have 3 Shis Tzus and they all love these treats. I love them because of the ingredients that they don't have. August 13, 2014
healthy and popular My puppy loves anything to do with fish and she loves these treats. I feel good knowing that they are made from wild salmon, which is much healthier than the farmed variety. These treats are dry, so they son't have a very strong, fishy odor. July 29, 2014
My dogs love them All of my dogs are very excited about eating these treats. March 22, 2014
He loves them! My dog, Bear, loves anything with salmon oil it seems. I spoke to my vet who says that salmon oil is great for dogs, not just for their coat but for overall health including joint health. December 27, 2013

Level I/PN has Full Approval from the Missouri State Board of Nursing (MSBN).
Level II/RN is currently on MSBN Conditional Approval.
The Bi-level Nursing Program admits all beginning nursing students to Level I/PN, with students progressing to Level II/RN after graduation from Level I/PN. A limited number of already practicing LPN's are admitted to Level II/RN on a space available basis only. All students progressing within the program must meet progression requirements, including licensure as an LPN before the end of the first semester of Level II/RN. Once progression requirements are met, admission to Level II/RN is automatic; reapplication is not necessary. Bi-Level Nursing Student Handbook
Clinical Practicum Requirements
Level I/PN evening/weekend students are required to attend the occasional weekday clinical practicum.
Beginning in 2014 the Level II/RN evening/weekend program began offering Clinical Options, requiring student's commitment to one 12-hour shift every other week on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday.
The program makes every attempt to meet student needs when scheduling the clinical rotation. However, we are required to work within the restrictions of clinical site availability and any student health requirements or previous criminal history.

09 Dec 2010 12:52 GMT | Politics, Human Rights, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Afghanistan
The Chinese government has said it will not yield to international pressure on jailed Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, striking a combative tone the day before the award is due to be formally bestowed.Jiang Yu, the foreign ministry spokeswoman, said on Thursday that there were "double standards" applied to China's legal system, and criticised the US politicians for calling on China to release Liu and his wife, Liu Xia, who is under house arrest.China awarded its answer to the Nobel Peace Prize on Thursday, giving the "Confucius Peace Prize" to Lien Chan, the former Taiwanese vice-president at a ceremony in Beijing. But his office said he was unaware of the award and he did not show up to collect it.Jiang also told a news conference that any attempts to pressure China on Liu, and to "deter China from its development" would not succeed."China urges the relevant US lawmakers to stop the wrong words and activity on the Liu Xiaobo issue and to change their arrogant and rude attitude," Jiang said."They should show respect to the Chinese people and China's legal sovereignty. The U.S. Congress' so-called resolution distorts the truth, it is widely meddling in China's internal affairs."Organisers of the Confucius Peace Prize named Lien Chan, for his efforts at building peace between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan.The prize is intended to give the Chinese "viewpoint of peace". The awards committee said Lien, the honorary chairman of Taiwan's Nationalist Party, was selected from eight nominees.The announcement comes a day ahead of the Oslo-based Nobel committee holding its ceremony to honour Liu Xiaobo.Eighteen other countries besides China have declined to attend this year's ceremony, Nobel officials said on Tuesday.Countries that have turned down an invitation to Friday's ceremony include allies Pakistan, Venezuela and Cuba; neighbors such as Russia, the Philippines and Kazakhstan; and business partners such as Saudi Arabia and Iran.No showsOther countries not appearing at the Oslo City Hall ceremony include Ukraine, Colombia, Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Serbia and Morocco.But at least 44 of the 65 embassies that were invited have accepted the invitation, the prize committee said.Earlier this week, Jiang referred to the members of the committee as "clowns" and accused them of "orchestrating an anti-China fuss".Liu, 54, was jailed in December 2009 for 11 years on subversion charges after co-authoring Charter 08, a bold petition calling for reform in one-party Communist-ruled China.No one is expected to be on hand to accept the award on behalf of Liu, who was named as the winner in October in recognition of "long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China".His wife, Liu Xia, has been under house arrest since that time, other family members are under pressure not to speak publicly and many of Liu's fellow dissidents and supporters have been warned not to attend or have been physically prevented from leaving China.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

By Richard Cowan and David Lawder
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama and his Republican opponents in Congress enter a crucial week in the "fiscal cliff" impasse with more than just differences over taxes to bridge: Also in the way is pervasive mistrust among members of Congress that discourages big concessions for fear the other side won't reciprocate.
That distrust is fueling doubts among Republicans and Democrats about relying on the other side to live up to any bargains struck now on deficit reduction in the future, Capitol Hill aides say.
Because resolution of the immediate cliff issues depends in part on commitments by both sides to a framework for overhauling the tax code and entitlement programs over the next year, an atmosphere of disbelief could impede any agreement on the cliff.
Nearly everyone - from Obama to most of the 535 members of the House of Representatives and Senate - say they want to avoid the cliff's $600 billion in harmful tax hikes and spending cuts set to kick in automatically in the new year, and replace them with more reasoned savings.
Obama wants the tax cuts that originated during the administration of President George W. Bush extended for middle class taxpayers only, while Republicans want them extended for all, including the wealthiest.
But widespread credibility issues could cause problems for Democrat Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner if and when they have to sell any agreement they forge to their parties in Congress.
The task for Boehner, who met Sunday with Obama, may be greater because many Republicans distrust each other as well as the Democrats.
The distrust between the parties is nothing new, having been built up over years of partisan recrimination. But it's now become a regular feature of debate on the cliff, on and off the floors of the House and Senate.
Some Democrats have spoken darkly of a hidden Republican agenda to gut, not just cut, social safety net programs.
Republicans, said Oregon's Peter DeFazio in a December 5 House floor speech, are acting under the "guise of deficit reduction," to "somehow kill Social Security, which they've never supported."
Republicans, for their part, say they don't believe Democrats will follow through on promises to make spending cuts.
"The reason we haven't heard Democrat ideas for entitlement reform may be because they have no plans to cut or to reform entitlement spending at all," Republican Representative John Fleming of Louisiana declared on the House floor last week.
"This is just another game from their play book - raise taxes and increase spending, as always," said Fleming.
And some see behind the firm Democratic stance a desire to go over the cliff in order to discredit Republicans, who several recent polls have indicated will bear the lion's share of the blame.
"I think their whole game plan is take the economy off the fiscal cliff and then blame Republicans," Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson said on CNN December 2.
And neither side trusts the other's math. While Obama maintains his plan will shrink deficits by $4.4 trillion over four years, the Republican staff on the Senate Budget Committee says it's more like $400 billion.
Doubts about the worth of promises are fueling a renewed argument over the federal debt ceiling which could greatly complicate resolution of the impasse over the cliff.
The nation's borrowing limit - which controls the government's capacity to borrow money to pay past debts - will need to be increased by the end of February. Under current law, an act of Congress is required to do that.
Obama is demanding, as part of the fiscal cliff negotiations, enhanced presidential authority over the debt limit, in order to stop Republicans from using it as leverage against the White House.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and other Republicans are resisting, saying that without debt ceiling leverage, the White House won't make the cuts it's promising.
"Look," McConnell said in the Senate last week, "the only way we ever cut spending around here is by using the debate over the debt limit to do it."
More broadly, members well aware that Congress gets mired in gridlock on much lesser pieces of legislation, find it hard to conceive of Congress succeeding at the far more complex tasks of overhauling the tax code and entitlement programs.
The truth is that many members of Congress share the same low regard for Congress that the public expresses in surveys.
Indeed, a regular theme in floor speeches by members of both the House and Senate is dysfunction - their own.

Fourteen SUU students, a faculty member and a Cedar City resident rafted down the Colorado River during Thanksgiving Break.
The group started at Diamond Creek and floated down river to Pearce Ferry, roughly a 54-mile journey.
The SUU trip was one of the first to be on the river during the U.S. Department of Interior's 2012 "high-flow" experiment.
The high-flow experiment started on Nov. 18 when the Glen Canyon Dam was opened to release water at 42,000 cubic feet per second for 24 hours.
The hope for the extra release was to help move sand built up in the river channel downstream to rebuild beaches.
Breanne Bassett, a senior Outdoor Recreation in Parks and Tourism (ORPT) major from Sandy, was on the trip and said the high water got to them a few days after the first release and brought with it a major change to the trip.
"Only a few of us stayed up to watch the high water come in," Bassett said. "It turned the water from relatively clean to murky, dirty water with lots of trash floating downstream."
Lake Powell dropped about two and half feet during the high-flow experiment and the SUU students got to experience the Colorado River at higher levels than previous boaters have.
Trevin Johnson, a junior ORPT major from Fredonia, Ariz., was a trip leader and said running the river with the high water was amazing.
"It was very nerve racking with the water level," Johnson said. "The hardest part was finding campgrounds, since most were underwater."
Johnson said he enjoyed leading the trip for fellow SUU students because it made guiding the river more enjoyable than with his work commercially guiding.
"I took a bit to get out of guide mode, but I got comfortable and realized how much I missed guiding and enjoyed being on the river," Johnson said.
The trip was part of a programming and planning class where students had to come up with a program and implement it.
Johnson said he hopes to have future trips down the river during breaks from classes.

An Obamacare surrender
Posted by

Washington is riven by conflict and deep-seated division. It is rare indeed when both sides can agree on anything consequential. Therefore it is incredibly heartening that there is now bipartisan agreement that the implementation of Obamacare is a mess.
Republicans have long maintained this, but now the Obama administration has lent its implicit assent with its astonishing decision to delay by a year the law's employer mandate. This is what the administration calls, via a blog post by the Treasury Department's assistant secretary for tax policy announcing the decision, "Continuing to Implement the ACA in a Careful, Thoughtful Manner."
It can call it whatever it wants, but there is no hiding the embarrassment of a climb-down on a high-profile feature of President Barack Obama's signature initiative.
The purported reason for the delay is incompetence. The administration's story is that it simply couldn't find a way to implement the insurance reporting requirements on employers in the time frame set out in the law. Merely as a side-effect, it had to put off the mandate and the $2,000-per-employee fine on employers with more than 50 employees who don't offer health coverage.
This just happens to be the mandate that is causing howls of pain from businesses and creating perverse incentives for them to limit their hiring or to hire part-time rather than full-time employees. And it just happens that 2015 -- the new target for implementation -- is after a midterm election year rather than during.
Explaining the decision, Obama apparatchik Valerie Jarrett issued a stalwart communique from Central Command that should take an honored place in the annals of blatant, unembarrassed hackery.
Her message was: All is well. Nothing to see here. Yes, maybe we've delayed implementation of the (hilariously euphemistic) "employer responsibility payments," aka fines, but don't worry, it's "full steam ahead" with the health-care exchanges this October.
"As we implement this law," Jarrett explained, "we have and will continue to make changes as needed." But the law is supposed to be the law, not optional suggestions from Congress. In Jarrett's view, Obamacare is little more than a warrant for the Obama administration to decide how it wants to run the American health-care system, one executive decision at a time.
Obamacare was sold on the twin, flagrantly false promises that you could keep the insurance you have and the prices for insurance would drop. But there will be significant dumping of employees onto the exchanges, and the latest indication of the law's price shock came via The Wall Street Journal, which reported that "healthy consumers could see insurance rates double or even triple when they look for individual coverage."
The delay of the employer mandate may create political pressure to delay the more important individual mandate as well, on grounds that ordinary people shouldn't face the fines for not buying government-mandated coverage that businesses have been spared. Certainly, the maneuver on the employer mandate is a painful concession and a signal of weakness. Now everyone can agree: Implementation of the president's proudest achievement is troubled, at best.

Any suggestions how to go about this?
We ripped out pergo in our kitchen two months ago. We used a guy who refinished our existing wood floors when we moved into the house almost seven years ago. He did a good job then so figured we would use him again. He put in brand new hardwood in the kitchen (as I said, two months ago). We noticed immediately that it scratched super easy. Very different from the rest of the house. They weren't deep scratches but white and literally everywhere. I can honestly say that the floor looks totally trashed two months later. I called him three times (voicemail) and he finally called back last week. He immediately admitted fault and said he might have had a faulty sealer because another customer has also complained. He said he would come by this week. It's now Saturday. We called him twice this week (left messages) and he hasn't called back.
What do we do now? It has to get fixed! Should we keep calling him (he has never actually picked up his phone) or will that freak him out. I just want him to do right by us but not sure he will.
What would you do if you were in our shoes?

Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin will likely be well-represented in
next weekend's stakes at Belmont and sent out
two potential contenders for their final workouts Sunday morning at Belmont.
Redding Colliery, most recently second in the Grade 3
Iselin at Monmouth
Park on August 21,
breezed five furlongs over the main track in 1:02.04 and McLaughlin said the
Jockey Club Gold Cup was a definite possibility for the Mineshaft colt.
"He worked very well and we're taking a good look at the
Gold Cup here," the trainer said. "Tranquil Manner is likely, also, it's a big
purse and he's doing well."
Tranquil Manner, a willing third behind Quality Road in the
Grade 1 Woodward at Saratoga on September 4,
worked four furlongs at Greentree Training Center
in Saratoga on
September 18, covering the distance in 47.00.
Also on the worktab Sunday at Belmont for McLaughlin was Grade 3 With
Anticipation winner Soldat, who went in company with German-bred filly Neon
Light. Both were caught in 47.88 for a half-mile over the firm inner turf
course, the fastest of seven at the distance. Soldat will make his next start
in the Grade 3, $150,000 Pilgrim on October 3, McLaughlin said, with the
Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf a goal.
The Pilgrim is a Breeders' Cup Challenge Race, earning the
winner an automatic starting berth in the Juvenile Turf on November 6 at
Churchill Downs.
Looking ahead, McLaughlin said that turf runners Lethal
Combination, winner of the Grade 3 Saranac at Saratoga
on September 5, and Krypton, third in the Grade 2 National Museum of
Racing and Hall of Fame on August 13, would both be pointed toward the Grade 1,
$250,000 Jamaica Handicap at Belmont
on October 9.
Krypton posted a 49.10 four-furlong work over the Oklahoma
Training Track at Saratoga
on Sunday morning.

Aiyiyi--need oleander replacement
Here's the situation: We have a narrow sideyard where the only free space is next to a tall, well-established white oleander, which has been pruned into a 10-to-15-foot-tall tree. We've been grilling under the oleander, with the grill sitting in the dirt bed next to the oleander. I was planning on extending the brick walkway out a bit so that the grill won't keep sinking into the ground....but as I'm digging the patio extension, a neighbor reminded me of the high toxicity levels of oleander. It's a gas grill with a cover, and certainly we wouldn't accidentally eat any leaves....but even so, the alarm has gone off in my mind.
I would love to plant something else that has similar characteristics: evergreen, can take a certain amount of shade (it's next to a fence), doesn't need a lot of water, grows quickly, etc.
We may just take the whole thing out anyway, but it would be nice to have a backup plan in case it just looks too bare there.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Getting a long established oleander out of the ground requires at least a heavy vehicle and a heavy chain. We did that with 4 of them and it was a very hard 2-day job.
They are such reliable plants, I would keep it, prune it as you like, and just throw the fallen leaves away. min
I agree with Jean. Besides having to ingest an oleander leaf, good luck trying to do that. They are so incredibly bitter, that you'd know immediately if you bit into one. Hence why oleander poisoning is extremely rare. Not to worry, enjoy your barbeque!

I have 150 oleanders one third of them white, which is the strongest grower. It is a big job to keep them at a reasonable height, let alone trying to actually kill one. If you are up to keeping them the size you want, I would not try to get rid of them. As you can imagine I have a very large amount of oleanders to compost, and it makes excellent finished compost. Al
Thanks so much, everyone, for walking me through my freak-out! Sounds like we should just continue to take the precautions we have been taking, and give the oleander a good trim.
Even though I did not plant it, I don't mind it and it is screening our neighbor's two-story, very blah stucco wall...so I would be sad to see it go.
Happy 4th everyone!
