Facebook appears to have "friended" some Wall Street analysts over its mobile ad prospects.
Shares of Facebook surged 8.1% Monday after two analysts predicted the social network's mobile revenue will jump.
It's the latest signal for Facebook to emerge as a steadily growing business since its disastrous initial public offering and growth concerns.
Facebook shares rose $1.94 to $25.94.
"As soon as they introduced sponsored stories back in June, it was clear that was how they were going to monetize mobile," Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter said of the advertising push.
Facebook's sponsored-story ads in news feeds are items that relate to people's "likes," or listed interests.
The round of advertising optimism comes from BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield and Bernstein Research analyst Carlos Kirjner. Greenfield forecasts Facebook's revenue is poised to boom in the fourth quarter because more ads are appearing in the mobile news feeds on its app.
Facebook analyst Kirjner agrees with the premise, saying Facebook is on track to beat consensus estimates for revenue over the next two years. For 2013, Kirjner forecasts the company will report nearly $7 billion in revenue, 9% higher than the $6.4 billion consensus estimate.
For 2014, he expects Facebook will hit revenue of nearly $8.7 billion, besting by 7% the consensus estimate for $8 billion.
Greenfield expects that such news feed ads will be Facebook's main driver of revenue growth.
"Facebook probably can increase the number of ad impressions per user per day with limited chance of seeing material deterioration in user experience," Kirjner said in a note to clients.
For Facebook users, that means a continued onslaught of ads in their news feed. That could rub members the wrong way. The downfall of MySpace came as the company became a Las Vegas-like strip of flashing ads that annoyed users.
In September, Facebook unleashed its Gifts service. The feature, which lets people send gift cards, could unlock new revenue. Starbucks, Magnolia Bakery and 1-800-Flowers were among Facebook's 100 launch partners. Monday, Facebook added iTunes digital gifts.
Shares of Facebook have been slowly gaining ground from a 52-week low of $17.55 on an improved advertising outlook for the company.
Another tech icon, Yahoo, also is enjoying a stock rejuvenation of late. Shares of Yahoo rose 21 cents, or 1%, to $18.76 Monday. The stock touched on a 21/2-year high of $19 in intraday trading. The troubled Internet pioneer's stock is up 20% since former Google executive Marissa Mayer took over as CEO in July.

Applying to the LLM Program
All LLM candidates must be JD graduates of an ABA approved law school in the United States, or possess the first law degree from a foreign law school approved by the government or other accrediting authority in the nation in which it is located. Candidates for whom English is not their first language must demonstrate fluency in English (generally, TOEFL test scores of 600 or better are expected). The University of Arizona offers excellent short courses in English, which may be arranged at the student's cost prior to enrolling if a student's TOEFL is under the required level.
We have moved to an on line application process and as of June 1, 2010, we no longer accept paper applications. The on line application is located at:
The system will require you to create an account and complete a profile information section.
To apply for the LLM program, select the link for Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy (option of Law) and the LLM program. The on line process also includes payment of the $75 application fee.
In addition to the on line application itself, prospective students should submit directly to the IPLP Program office (IPLP Program c/o Melissa Tatum, The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, P.O. Box 210176, Tucson, Arizona 85721-0176 U.S.A.):
Two letters of recommendation;
A resume;
A 2-3 page personal statement indicating your interest in indigenous law and policy, critical race theory, and/or human rights, along with a description of any relevant experience in the field. The IPLP is particularly interested in students who, by virtue of their background and experience, will bring diverse interests and perspectives to the graduate program;
Official transcripts for all post-secondary educational institutions previously attended;
For international students whose first language is not English, an official Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) test report with a minimal score of 600 (or the computer based equivalent);
Applications are accepted and admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis beginning September 1. The annual application deadline is March 31st for the Fall Semester, although applications may be considered on a limited basis up to July15th (conditional on available space). Earlier applications are strongly encouraged, as only 8-12 students are accepted each year. Financial support awards are made in April. The Admissions Committee ordinarily will not consider applications until all required information has been received.
Please note: Our experience with respect to student immigration matters confirms the importance of the March 31st deadline, as international students can experience a lengthier admissions process due to changing immigration regulations. International applicants are strongly encouraged to apply as early as possible to avoid delays in the immigration paperwork process.
Candidates who accept the offer of admissions are required to pay a non-refundable US $250.00 seat deposit. This deposit will be credited to your tuition account. All students born after December 31, 1956 are required by UA to verify measles/rubella immunity. Important details pertaining to proof of immunization can be obtained from the UA Campus Health Care web site. Without proof of measles/rubella immunity on file with Campus Health Services, students will not be permitted to register for classes.

We're due in about 6 weeks. We don't know the sex of the baby and have no idea on a boys name. For girls we have Indiana Storm or Christabelle Skye. Our son is Alexander William. We'd like something unique but not TOO strange, something strong and kinda masculine, preferably from nature but not essential. Last name is Campbell. Please help!!!

What about...
Edmund Justin Linden #3Posted 09 November 2012 - 08:31 AM
FWIW I much prefer Christabelle Skye over Indiana Storm. And I love Alexander William. I think a classic but perhaps underused name would be a good match for Alexander.

Christabelle Skye is very striking and pretty.
Boy's side of things: Linden, I see Ange beat me to it. It's a tree and a traditional boy's name. Raoul, Raúl - meaning "wolf counsel" Ari - meaning "lion" Basil Silas Oisin - (o-sheen) Gaelic, "little deer" Jasper Herschel - Yiddish, "deer" and I can guarantee unlikely to ever go to the girls. #6Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:14 PM

Student violence weakens the case against tuition fees
Westminster and the police have been caught on the hop by the size and violence of the demonstration currently battering the glass walls of Millbank tower, or specifically 30 Millbank, the lowrise part of the complex where CCHQ is based. From my window I can see the helicopters circling above the spot, bringing us pictures of crowds shoving up against the thin blue bright yellow line. Objects are being thrown, and there appears to be a separate confrontation going on inside the lobby. Heads are being cracked, and some of the more excitable demonstrators seem eager to take on the cops. Perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised. Aaron Porter, the leader of the NUS, was on the telly last week using fairly extreme language to warn that students would hound MPs in their constituencies.
But will it hurt of help the Coalition? At first glance, protests at home are uncomfortable for a Prime Minister who is abroad. The Chinese might allow themselves a wry smile while Mr Cameron lectures then on human rights, then offer to send over international observers to check on how the Met is behaving. But today's events may prove a boon to ministers. First, because sympathy for impoverished students will be undermined if it turns out they can afford to take time out from their studies to travel to London, attack policemen and destroy property. Second, because the NUS and Labour have formed such a tight alliance on the issue: this protest is in effect a Labour protest, and however the NUS and Labour try to disown the riot, it is their show – it wouldn't have happened without them. Mr Cameron can portray himself as reasonable in the face of snarling reaction. Third, Lib Dem MPs are having a hard time on this issue but will not want to be associated with Labour extremism. Listening to the student protesters telling BBC News that "they are just trying to make their point" will provoke snorts of derision from those who will wonder how higher education is helped by the scenes we are watching.
UPDATE @10.15pm: Labour chums have chided me for being unfair and tendentious when I suggest that the riot was the NUS and Labour's show. Of course I don't mean that they orchestrated it or even willed it. But Labour has lined itself against this reform, it supported the march, Harriet Harman made a big number out of taunting Nick Clegg about tuition fees at PMQs, and the NUS is a Labour subsidiary and forcing house for Labour politicians. So when what was supposed to be a Labour supported demo designed to put political pressure on the Coalition ends up with the mess at Millbank, I reckon it's fair to say that this is an awkward moment for Labour.

Professor Roland Stocker
Professor of Biochemistry in Vascular Medicine
K25 - Medical Foundation Building |
Biographical details
Roland Stocker received his training as a biochemist at the ETH Zürich (Switzerland), ANU (Canberra, Australia) and the University of California (Berkeley, USA). Following an appointment as Assistant Professor at the University of Berne (Switzerland), Roland moved permanently to Australia in 1988 where he worked as Group Leader at the Heart Research Institute for 13 years, as a Professor at the Centre for Vascular Research at the University of New South Wales for 5 years, before taking up a Professorial Chair at the University of Sydney in late 2006. [More...]
Research interests
Our research focuses on the hardening of blood vessels (a process also called atherosclerosis) that is the single major cause of heart attacks and stroke, and hence death, in Australia. We study the contribution of oxidation to atherosclerosis, and how the disease can be inhibited. We have identified a protein, the up-regulation of which affects many biological processes, resulting in the inhibition of disease in several animal models. We are now studying how a change in a single protein can have such multiple biological effects. We also have discovered a novel protein that regulates the tone of blood vessels and blood pressure in conditions of inflammation, and are now seeking to better understand the underlying principles of this action. Finally, we have established a new Core Facility to assess oxidative stress in vitro and in vivo, and we are developing new methods and tools to apply this to cardiovascular and other research.

Parting Of The Sea
Every year at the end of February and again in mid-June, extremely low tide causes a natural land connecting the main Jindo island and smaller Modo island in South Korea. The pass stays for about an hour before being submerged again. posted on
The event is celebrated by a local festival called "Jindo's Sea Way" when visitors and tourists gather to watch the phenomenon and walk the path in the middle of the sea.
Jindo's natural causeway was largely unknown to the world until 1975, when the French ambassador Pierre Randi described the phenomenon in a French newspaper.

In honor of R2TH being so good at starting the dailies - what is your favorite Iron Maiden song?
What physical activity do you have planned today?
My answer is exactly the same.
Recent PRs: 5K 19:15 (2013) | HM 1:26:19 (2013) | M 3:21:38 (2012)
Goals: 10K sub-39:00 | HM sub-1:25 | M sub-3:00
QOTD: I probably would know one if I heard, but I certainly can't name one.
WOTD: 6 slow miles and core.
QOTD: Don't know any. Might recognize one if I heard it, but wouldn't know it was IM unless you told me.
WOTD: 4 miles
Thought I'd be running in the rain this morning, but it stopped before I got out the door. And this is a cutback week for me -- so ready for it!
QOTD:Like Duck916, I couldn't name one of their songs to save my life. But, I am coming along, as I recently added AC/DC Radio to my Pandora playlist and they do rotate other 80's Metal bands in and out of the rotation.DAILY:Hope for about 8.50 miles and 30 minute crosstraining class later.WOYD:An easy 4.90 miles. Would've liked to do more but after 26+ miles on Saturday, I needed to score some brownie points (or save my own skin) by skipping the gym or a longer run yesterday.
Upcoming: 06/01 - Comrades (89k) Marathon, 08/02 - Angeles Crest 100 Miles. 11/08 - Mesquite Tri States Marathon, 12/07 - CIM MarathonPR's - 100K - 10:41:00 (02/2013), 50 Miles - 7:59:96 (01/2013), 50K - 5:50:25 (10/2013), Marathon - 3:27:21 (05/2013), Half Marathon - 1:33:36 (05/2013).(127 Marathons plus 14 Ultras).
Any one that's not playing within my earshot.
Probably just a walk with Roggers after work. Calf is improving but I could tell it was still injured walking up and down the parking garage stairs all last week and weekend.
QOTD: Who is Iron Maiden?
WOTD: Aerobics this morning. Now preparing for a drubbing at the golf course with my bowling ladies. Nice day for it, though, with a forecast high of 80 degrees.
4/05/14 - Feel the Spirit 5K - Cheektowaga, NY
4/19/14 - Bunny Hop 5K - East Aurora, NY
5/03/14 - Friends of Night People Putting Hunger on the Run 5K - Buffalo, NY
5/25/14 - Buffalo Half Marathon - Buffalo, NY
9/14/14 - Race to the Angel - Wells, NV
QOTD: don't have one. But a friends husband is a huge fan. They named their third child Ryan Aiden because naming him Iron Maiden might be a bit much.
wotd: hitting up power yoga tonight
PRs | Marathon 3:28:20 | Half 1:35:47 | 10K 43:18 | 5K 20:25 | 2013 was a good year.
Upcoming: Presidio 10 (4/13) | Boston Marathon (4/21) | Run Through Redlands 5K (4/27) | Mammoth Half Marathon (6/22) | SeaWheeze Half Marathon (8/23) | NYC Marathon (11/2) | Run to Feed the Hungry 10K (11/27) | Probably some others, too.
QOTD - thanks quevola. Phantom of the Opera is a great one, certainly one of my favorites from the oldies. Among the more recent ones, I really like "Fear of the Dark" - live version - see here
WOTD - 12.1 with:
3200m@6:21 avg (12:36); 3min jog recovery
4x800@6:04 avg (2:58; 3:02; 3:02; 3:00)/200m recoveries
3min jog recovery
1600 @6:19 avg (6:17).
This workout sucked badly. I didn't hit my paces and legs felt shot....weights later.
Rebuilding r2th v3.0
QOTD: I know and listened to some of Iron Maiden stuff, but their music somehow didn't stay with me, so, I don't have any one to name .
WOTD: 11 mi easy in the morning
QOTD: Dunno.
WOTD: 5.3 easy in the heat. 5:30 am boot camp.
- defining mediocrity since 1962.
QOTD: Run to the hills! Naturally.
WOTD: 5 moderate this am. Things moving in right direction but dang this hip soreness is annoying.
Master's PRs: 1 mile: 4:51 (7/2012), 5K 16:56 (track,6/2013), 10K: 35:11 (5/2013),
10 mile 58:26 (4/2013), 1/2 marathon 1:17:45 (6/2013)
QOTD- Couldn't tell you a song by name.
Today- 7mi@7:55
PRs: Mile-4:48, 5k-16:19, 10k-34:15, HM-1:16:42
Last Race: 1:17:37 Carlsbad Half Marathon 1/19/14
Next Race: San Diego Half Marathon 3/9/14
QOTD: I don't have one, but it does surprise me that nobody seems to have the RWOL name "I Run Maiden"
WOTD: 5.3 recovery (7:55). A bit too many hills for my liking on a recovery run, but I'm searching for softer surfaces for my runs and added a hilly bridle trail today.
QOTD- I know nothing about Iron Maiden.
3 easy miles today.
I have to comment on an Iron Maiden thread.
Alot of good songs from this band, but I would have to go with "The Trooper" and "Aces High" as two of my favorites.
Both of these songs are fast-tempo and would be good choices to have on a treadmill running playlist.
Fear of the dark, and I run to it.

Retired pitcher Mark Mulder to attempt comeback
Retired pitcher and current ESPN analyst Mark Mulder said he will attempt to make a comeback.
Mulder, 36, pitched for the Oakland Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals during his nine seasons and had a career record of 103-60.
Mulder retired in 2009 after left shoulder problems and has worked at ESPN since 2011. Mulder said things changed in October while watching Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Paco Rodriguez on TV and says scouts have clocked his fastball at 89-90 mph.
"I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am," Mulder said via ESPN's Jerry Crasnick. "To be honest with you, I never anticipated this five or six weeks ago. It was just a flat-out fluke that came from me trying to imitate Paco Rodriguez in my living room."
"The best way to describe it is, the ball is coming out of my hand better now than at any point when I was in St. Louis," Mulder said. "I wouldn't be trying this is if I didn't think the stuff I was throwing was good enough [to pitch in the big leagues]."

this loss would seem unlikely to trigger an anti-spam algo, although I suppose it's possible
From what I've seen, multiple, chained 301s are more likely to trigger a manual check. However, I have heard Matt Cutts talk about an automated rule for certain types of 301 chains. In fact, the rule was informally named for a relatively well known early SEO who was leveraging the possibilities of 301 chains in a clever way.

- Top headphones under $50
Panasonic RP-HT21
If you're looking for a cheap pair of headphones for casual listening on the go or at the gym, the RP-HT21s, despite their generic looks, actually sound pretty decent and are fairly comfortable to wear. Sure, some people may think you swiped them from your last flight, but the good news is that if you leave them anywhere (or accidentally break them), they'll only cost you $5 to replace. There's something to be said for that.
The good: Panasonic's very inexpensive RP-HT21 on-ear headphones are lightweight, fairly comfortable, seem sturdy enough, and sound quite decent for their low price.
The bad: The headphones have a generic design, don't fold up, and their thicker, reinforced L-shaped plug may not be compatible with certain smartphone cases. They also leak sound.
The bottom line: As far as really inexpensive headphones go, you're not going to do too much better than the Panasonic RP-HT21s.

The investment logic for sustainability
Share this talk and
track your influence!
Sustainability is pretty clearly one of the world's most important goals; but what groups can really make environmental progress in leaps and bounds? Chris McKnett makes the case that it's large institutional investors. He shows how strong financial data isn't enough, and reveals why investors need to look at a company's environmental, social and governance structures, too.
This talk was presented at an official TED Conference. TED's editors featured it among our daily selections on the home page.

As if we didn't see enough raw emotion from Katy Perry in her video for Part of Me, we now have a behind the scenes look at the video shoot in a twenty minute exclusive, Making of "Part of Me". The video for the song is just over four minutes long, but we see Katy spend days at Marine Corps base Fort Pendleton, training with the forces and getting a taste of what it's like to be a marine. Watching Perry wrestle under water, complete a grueling obstacle course, and develop her skills in getting yelled at by drill sergeants reminds us that it isn't always cotton candy and lollipops for the California Gurls singer.
Watch the making of Katy Perry's Part of Me under the jump!
Perry kicks ass in this exclusive look at her latest music video and it makes us even more excited for when Katy Perry: Part of Me comes out in 3-D on the Fourth of July weekend. Being a marine is by no means easy nor glamourous, but somehow Katy Perry makes it look fun. Watch her do it all in the videos below.

Are we, in an effort to outwit raccoons, actually making them smarter and unwittingly contributing to their evolutionary success? Are the ever more complex obstacles that our fast-paced urban world throws at them actually pushing the development of raccoon brains? In this film, scientists from around the world share their thoughts and work to help explore this scientific theory. Attempting to do something that has never been done before, they closely follow a family of urban raccoons as they navigate the complex world of a big city.

Customer Konig Air Blower Reviews (1)
by - written on 20/03/13 (Very useful, 42 readings)
What is the purpose of the Konig air blower? It was made to blow debris from various areas of photographic type equipment and many people use items like this when trying to clear marks from their sensors. What does it look like? Visually the shape is a bit like a rugby ball or a grenade. The red plastic pipe on the end directs the flow of air onto the subject. What is it made of? The tube is of plastic construction and the blower part itself seems to be rubber - the smell of it is slightly unpleasant and reminds me of swimming caps. Is the build quality any good? There aren't too many parts to the construction so in ... Read the complete review

A high-speed train in 1960 zipped along at 100 mph; today the speeds are twice that. Locomotion has gotten faster with every generation, but we can't say the same about our kids. According to an Australian study that looked at 20 million children worldwide, it takes kids ages 9-17 one and a half minutes longer to run a mile than it took their parents back when they were that age. That's because kids are so much less active and more likely to be overweight.
So here are three smart ways to get kids back up to speed so they'll have a healthy body, a powerful brain and a happy outlook:
1. Size down the dish. To keep your child from overeating (30 percent of kids are overweight or obese), cut the bowl or plate size in half. Kids will naturally -- you don't have to say a word -- eat half as much!
2. Add protein to breakfast so kids (and adults) have energy all day. Kids 9-14 need about 34 grams of protein daily. For breakfast, aim for 10-15 grams -- or 1 cup cooked oatmeal (5.5 g), 1/4 cup nonfat yogurt (3 g), 1 ounce of turkey bacon (5 g).
3. Limit screen time to two hours a day, max! -- and no TV or Internet in bedrooms.
4. Get kids playing, walking, moving, for a minimum of 60 minutes daily -- and get out there and do it with them.
If that doesn't work, threaten to wake them up every morning with the phrase, "Why, when I was your age ..." That'll get them moving.

A structural VAR analysis of electricity consumption and real GDP: Evidence from the G7 countries
In this paper, we depart from the literature on electricity consumption-real GDP in that for the first time we examine the reaction of real GDP to shocks in electricity consumption. To achieve this goal, we use the structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model and examine the impact of electricity consumption shocks on real GDP for the G7 countries. We find that except for the USA, electricity consumption has a statistically significant positive impact on real GDP over short horizons. This finding implies that except for the USA, electricity conservation policies will hurt real GDP in the G7 countries.Download Info

Title | Cultural Landscape in Mongolian Tourism |
Author | Buckley, Ralf; Ollenburg, Claudia; Zhong, Linsheng |
Journal Name | Annals of Tourism Research |
Year Published | 2008 |
Place of publication | United Kingdom |
Publisher | Pergamon |
Abstract | Abstract: The Mongolian steppes and their nomads, horses, herds and gers form a cultural landscape which is the region's icon attraction, the central image in Mongolian marketing, the key feature of its flagship tourism products, and the most heavily commoditized component of its industry. In other Mongolian landscapes, and also in the steppes of neighboring regions and the grasslands of Africa, Australia, and North America, natural and cultural heritage are treated as separate attractions. The concept of cultural landscape is heavily used in a World Heritage context, has a significant role to play in the global tourism industry, and deserves further investigation as a tool for analysis. Keywords: culture, landscape, marketing, destinations, experience. |

Favorite Organic Black Teas?
Here's another organic tea co.

If you are interested in organic teas (plus EU regulated labour), there are a couple tea plantations in Portugal (Azores, more concretely in São Miguel island) which I think never ever seen pesticides or herbicides (I have been to the island and plantation, and believe it)
I like the Orange Pekoe and the green tea.
The Tao of Tea does a lot of organic teas, and seem to be committed to helping small tea farmers too: http://www.taooftea.com/aboutus.php?num=52. They have nice tins as well!

CORPUS CHRISTI — A new CCISD committee met for the first time Monday to plan how members stay in touch with local legislators and track bills that could affect the 38,000-student district.
District officials have said they are bracing for as much as $36 million in state funding cuts. Superintendent Scott Elliff has emphasized that the figures released by the state Legislature in January are preliminary. Officials have said they imagine state officials will adjust the totals as the session moves forward.
The district's legislative affairs committee, which officials said is the first of its kind at the district is made up of Elliff, Trustees Carol Scott and Lucy Rubio and John Longoria, board president. Trustees Willie Perez and Tony Diaz also attended Monday's meeting.
District staff members plan to send trustees e-mails daily about filed bills that may affect the district and to update them about meetings with legislators.
Trustees also may meet one-on-one with legislators to discuss concerns.
Officials said some bills of interest involve school finance, immigration, grade-point average calculation and the authority of school district police departments. No bills were discussed in detail Monday.
The legislative affairs committee will meet every other Friday starting March 11.
The committee on Monday asked Elliff to prepare information for legislators about how bills may impact the district.
"Our goal is to educate the local delegation," Longoria said.
What: Community forum about projected state budget cuts and how the Corpus Christi Independent School District can save money
When: 5 p.m. today
Where: CCISD Administration Building, 801 Leopard St.
Information: 695-7410
Anyone with ideas on how CCISD can save money is encouraged to e-mail email@example.com

Originally Posted by borc4cy I got a couple questions.. My lawn currently is taken over with crabgrass, weeds etc. there is some grass but its mostly weeds. What Im trying to figure out is do I kill the weeds first and have bare spots in my lawn or is there a way to kill the weeds/grow grass at the same time? And what would I use, I wouldnt have a clue as to use for grass seed, weed killer, fertilizer etc.. anybody that could help would be awesome! This is tough and will take a lot of focus throughout the year, but we can get you a good start which will keep getting better. 1) weeds steal your fuel and fertilizer. Get them first. - get a pump sprayer to use with herbicides early (never us on plants around the house) - spray 2,4-d and dicamba to kill the current weeds ASAP. - I got some Bayer advanced weed and crabgrass killer from home depot that worked well. It has a spray nozzle version that hooks to a hose that makes it easy if you like. Do not spray over 80 degrees. 2) go to a coop or tractor supply and look for some 10-10-10 fertilizer and apply liberally ASAP. You need the p and k bad in the N-P-k analysis bad. DO NOT get phosphorus free unless you live along a lake or a pond. You'll need this for quick strong root establishment. 3) apply a grub killer - preferably imidacloprid - immediately with the fertilizer. - Water or do a rain dance - 4) in 1 week get a lot of Kentucky bluegrass seed and rent a lawn seeder or aerator. Aerate and apply seed or seed with a seeder, and water. Frequently. (you need to wait a week due to the dicamba and crabgrass seeder). Depending on how it gets started, you may need to fix patches in may, and overseed again in late August. 5) get some of that Bayer advanced or ortho weed and crabgrass killer in the spray bottles and attack on sight as the weeds emerge throughout the summer. Again - do not spray if over 80, the sprays can move and drift and kill flowers. In August - apply more 10-10-10 or 13-13-13 type mix. If the lawn turns yellow or lighter green in June, look for a high N product like 20-0-5. That is a quick - what I would do - Good luck-
