Soil Health
Part 1, Section 1: Soil Management
Soil Health
Soil health is defined as "the capacity of a soil to function within ecosystem boundaries to sustain biological productivity, maintain environmental health, and promote plant and animal health." Soil properties that determine soil health include soil physical, chemical, and biological properties. In some cases, the term "soil quality" may be used; the two terms have the same meaning. Soil properties that determine soil health include soil texture, depth of soil, infiltration, bulk density, water-holding capcity, soil organic matter, pH, electrical conductivity, microbial biomass, carbon and nitrogen, potentially mineralizable nitrogen, and soil respiration. In this section we will focus on the physical and biological aspects of soil health (Box 1.1-1); chemical aspects are discussed in the soil fertility section. Some soil properties are a given and cannot be readily changed by management. This information can be gleaned from the county soil survey, and is also available from your local USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office or on the Web at http://soilmap.psu.edu/.
However, the concept of soil health focusses on those properties that are readily affected by management. The best soil quality is usually found in soils under permanent vegetation such as trees or sod. Intensively managed soils, on the other hand, can have very low or very high soil quality depending on how they are managed. Soils with poor health often have inferior tilth, lower organic matter content, few living organisms, and show signs of soil erosion, crusting, and soil compaction. Eventually, poor soil health results in problems with crop establishment, root growth, and crop yields. Increasing amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, and tillage are needed to maintain yields on poor-quality soil. That is why it is so important to maintain high soil quality. We will now discuss some important soil properties that determine soil health.
Measuring soil health with scientific methods takes major investments. Therefore, Penn State developed the Pennsylvania Soil Quality Assessment Scorecard, available from your Penn State Cooperative Extension county office or the Internet at http://pubs.cas.psu.edu/freepubs/pdfs/uc170.pdf. It is useful to compare agricultural soil with nearby soils under permanent vegetation such as trees or sod. Soils with poor health often have inferior tilth, lower organic matter contents, few living organisms, and show signs of soil erosion, crusting, and soil compaction. Eventually, poor soil health results in problems with crop establishment, root growth, and crop yields. Increasing amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, and tillage are needed to maintain yields on poor-quality soil. We will now discuss some important soil properties that determine soil health.
Soil texture affects almost all other soil health indicators such as porosity, water infiltration and percolation, moisture holding capacity, sensitivity to compaction etc.. To determine soil texture the soil particles are completely dispersed until all aggregates are destroyed. With experience, it is also possible to determine soil texture by the 'feel method'. The textural class is a measure of the proportions of sand (2- to 0.05-mm diameter), silt (0.05 to 0.002 mm), and clay (smaller than 0.002 mm). (Figure 1.1-3). Only particles smaller than 2 mm (0.79 inches) are considered soil. Because gravel and rocks are larger than 2 mm they are not considered in soil texture classifications. Most soils in Pennsylvania are "silt loams." This classification refers to the surface soil and does not take into account differences in clay content in the subsoil, impermeable layers near the surface, rock fragments, and so forth.
Soil depth is the depth of soil to bedrock or to an impermeable layer. Soil depth determines how deep roots, water, and air can penetrate into a soil. This, in turn, influences how much water can infiltrate the soil, how much water can be held by the soil, and how much soil plant roots can occupy.
Soil organic matter consists of living, partially to fully decomposed organic materials. Soil organic matter is typically 1 to 5 percent of the total dry weight of topsoil, with lower amounts in the subsoil. Different types of organic matter play unique roles in soil. Highly decomposed organic matter (also called humified organic matter) typically makes up 95% of the total soil organic matter, and contributes to the cation exchange capacity, the water holding capacity, and stability of small aggregates. Other, less highly decomposed types of organic matter such as polysaccharides are produced by bacteria and determine the stability of larger aggregates. Living organic matter such as fungal hairs and plant roots are also important for the stability of large aggregates.
The CEC (cation exchange capacity) of a soil is determined by the soil's clay and organic matter content. These particles carry a negative charge that enables a soil to hold on to positively charged molecules called "cations." Potassium, calcium, and magnesium are nutrient cations that dissolve in water and would wash out of the soil if they were not held by the CEC. The CEC of your soil is reported on soil test reports.
Bulk density is a measure of the mass of particles that are packed into a volume (e.g., a cubic foot) of soil. If bulk density goes up, porosity goes down. It is favorable to have a low bulk density so that water and air can move through the soil. The optimal bulk density depends on soil texture. Ideal and problem bulk densities of different soils are given in Table 1.1-2.

The plastic and liquid limits of a soil are two measures used to characterize the ease with which a soil can be worked or compacted. The plastic limit is the moisture content at which it is possible to make a wire of approximately one-quarter inch in diameter by rolling the soil between two hands. The liquid limit is the moisture content at which soil starts to flow and act as a liquid. Soil is most compactable between the plastic and liquid limit, and most susceptible to rutting above the liquid limit. A simple method to determine soil readiness for tillage and traffic is the "ball test." Take a handful of soil and squeeze it into a ball. If the soil molds together, it is in the plastic state and too wet for planting, tillage or field traffic.
Soil structure and soil tilth are very important but still elusive concepts. Soil tilth refers to the state of aggregation of a soil. Aggregates are conglomerates of clay, silt, and sand particles that are held together by biological, physical and chemical forces. A common method of determining aggregate stability is to place aggregates on a sieve and move the sieve up and down in water bath. If a lot of soil passes through the sieve, the aggregate stability is low; if most of the soil remains on top of the sieve, the aggregate stability is high. Soils with stable aggregation tend to have better soil tilth, greater water infiltration, and better aeration for crop growth.
Hydraulic conductivity (permeability) and infiltration rate are two closely related properties. Hydraulic conductivity is the rate of water movement in the soil, whereas infiltration is the rate at which water enters into the soil from the surface. Hydraulic conductivity and infiltration are determined by soil texture, changes in soil texture between surface and subsurface, impermeable layers, and depth to bedrock, as well as by soil management.
Earthworms generally increase microbial activity, increase the availability of nutrients, and enhance soil physical properties. They also accelerate the decomposition of crop residue by incorporating litter into the soil and activating mineralization and humification processes. Earthworms improve aggregation and porosity, suppress certain pests or disease organisms, and enhance beneficial microorganisms. There are different types of earthworms: some live in the surface of the soil and make horizontal burrows, while others live in the vertical burrows that can be more than 3 feet deep. Some earthworms make permanent burrows, while other earthworms fill their burrows with excretions. Nightcrawlers are among the important earthworm species in agricultural soils. They make permanent, vertical burrows that provide channels for infiltration in no-till soils. They need surface residue, which they gather and deposit on top of their burrows. A good method to monitor earthworm populations is to excavate one cubic foot (1 x 1 x 1 ft) of soil and count the earthworms in and beneath it. A good time to do this is after a rainstorm or early in the morning in spring or fall when the soil is moist. Earthworms tend to hide deeper when the soil is dry and show reduced activity in summer or winter. Earthworms that reside below the foot-deep hole will come to the surface if you pour some mustard powder dissolved in water in the hole. Ten earthworms per square foot of soil surface is generally considered a good population in agricultural systems.
Measuring soil health with scientific methods takes major investments. Therefore, Penn State developed the Pennsylvania Soil Quality Assessment Scorecard, available from your Penn State Extension county office or the Internet at pubs.cas.psu.edu/freepubs/pdfs/uc170.pdf.

Sony's New Google TVJanuary 18th, 2012
When the Google TV first came out I thought it was an interesting concept. However the one thing that I didn't like was the size of the remote. The idea of having a remote the size of a regular keyboard was not very appealing. Sony introduced a new generation of the Google TV at CES 2012. There are three versions, the one that is embedded within a TV, a BluRay player with an integrated Google TV and a stand alone Google TV. Both the BluRay player and the stand alone player have a smaller form factor than before. They all run Android 3.2 with Android Market well-integrated and is full HD capable.
The thing that caught my eye the most was the remote control. It now looks like a real remote control instead of large keyboard. The front of the remote is set up like a traditional remote with a touchpad on it. On the back is a keyboard when you need it. The keyboard works only when it is facing up. So there is no chance of typing while you are trying to hit play or record. This is a great improvement on the first generation of Google TV. I can't wait to get a hold of one later this year.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Mozart!
Facts about Mozart
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Mozart's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This handsome black kitty is Mozart. He came to Tenth Life in November 2012. Mozart and his brother, Shakespeare, were rescued by police from a very abusive situation. The former owner had repeatedly kicked and thrown both kitties against a wall. They were in very bad shape with multiple injuries when they were taken in by County Animal Control. Luckily for them, County Animal Control spent a month taking care of their physical injuries and Tenth Life has come in to help with any emotional injuries by showing them safety, love and care until they find their forever home. Surprisingly, Mozart has shown no signs of timidness or fear since entering his Foster home. He is a very affectionate and loveable kitty who you would never know had come from an abusive situation based on his personality. He acts very relaxed and social at all adoption events and is always front and center for attention. As a result of the abuse, his lower lip does come down a little more than normal, but he has no issues with it and it doesn't affect his eating. He appears to potentially have some slight vision or neurological issues from the abuse as well, but he gets around completely normally and requires no special accommodations. Mozart loves playing with his toys and his brother, Shakespeare, and will follow you around "trilling" for attention. He is slightly more playful than his brother and will be the first to pounce on a new toy. Mozart would do best in a home without really young children who might pull on his tail or be rough with him. Mozart would do great in a home with other cats and dogs and is used to both currently in his foster home. Mozart and his brother, Shakespeare, have been through a lot together and seem quite bonded so they need to go to their forever home together. Mozart is a special little sweetheart who has been through a lot and deserves a loving and wonderful forever home. approx DOB May 2012
Other Pets at Tenth Life Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mozart, a St. Louis Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in St. Louis, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in St. Louis.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in St. Louis already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a St. Louis breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in St. Louis paves the way for another one to be saved.

Juliet's mother
On Sunday I had a chance to spend some time with Juliet(15 years old), the eldest of the three children whose mother separated with the father. Below is what she told me.
"My Mother made a decision to separate from my father because she was fed up of the way she was being treated while at home. My dad would restrict her from going anywhere, visiting friends and never allowed any of her family or friends to come visit at home. This hurt me so much because I feel I have been deprived my right to get to know my aunties and uncles. My mom lived a miserable life because she always had a sad face. The main reason as to why she left home is because she escaped to go and attend a burial of her sister, my aunt and when she came back she was beaten seriously because she didn't ask for permission. So she took all of us to stay with our grandmother who is very old and currently my mom has freedom to do whatever she wants. She was freed from that bondage. She is now free. However me and my sisters are now suffering because we have to walk a very long distance to get to school every morning and this is affecting my studies."
To me, the story was so heart breaking because you could see it in the young girl's eyes that she was going through a hard time. The poor mother is deprived of her rights and it seems that she lacks her identity and hence ending up in breakage of their family.
Leaving the husband should not be the solution to such a problem because it affects the children terribly in the long run and it never shows a clear picture. this is a point where we all need to come in and act against such evil manners that are subjected to our sisters, mothers, aunties and grand parents around the world
Such stories are just enough to get us out of our comfort zones and to step up and do something. Men should stop treating women like their property and this can only happen when me and you give an ear to children like Juliet.Giving them our time is also very important.
I have and obligation of looking out for Juilet's mum next week and will hear her side of the story then will keep you updated.
such a sad and touching story.
it's quite difficult and is taking a hard toll on her both psychologically and education wise.
I'm very interested in this case,,, what next step do you intend to make.
please keep me posted
what a sad story i can only imagine what juliet and her mum are going through,keep us updated about her mother
Making a Statement
Thank you Jayan for sharing this family's story. It is a very difficult life-situation. Tough choices to make. I pray that somehow Juliet is able to get a bigger-picture message. Being a woman, I believe that Mum took this action for more than her own freedom. Women too often will suffer such continual abuse on behalf of their family - sacrificing to keep it together. But Mum took a stand, making a choice and thereby a life-statement that "this dynamic is UNACCEPTABLE, and I don't want my children to think it is acceptable. It may be culture, but it is WRONG."
True, divorce should not have to be the answer, but sometimes it is. Sometimes we must be strong enough and brave enough to take such drastic action, not only for our sakes, but to encourage others by our example to no longer condone such animalistic behavior. Too often people define Divorce as failure. Clearly in Mum's situation, Divorce is akin to salvation; breaking free of a death-grip on the state of 'life' that was suffocating her and her children, and would continue to afflict the generations that follow.
I salute Mum and pray God's grace to encourage and sustain her, as a Standard-bearer for her children, and her community, and me. Things will never become Right, until we demand they do. And such demands sometimes require statements stronger than words; statements that are made all the more clearer by our actions.
May Mum's children have ears to hear what Mum is saying, for their sakes, and the sake of their children to come. And tell Mum when you see her next week, I am proud of her.
With regard for you, my sister,
This piece
Dear Jayan,
Thanks for sharing the story of a woman who valued for herself. While it'd be tough for her and the kids, it may have been her only option to give herself and the children some space. Hope such men realize their blunder!
Best wishes to you and Juliet's family.
Juliet should understand the
Juliet should understand the position of her mother. If not she stays in the marriage for the children, they would loose her because of heartache and frustration. I don't think people choose to marry just to divorce but if if is for the betterment and dignity of the person affected, we should give our support.
innocent bystanders
Dear Jayan,
Thank you for posting this story. I will be praying for this family of women. When I was driving home from work today I was thinking about my own sons and very sad for all that they have gone through because I got a divorce. But the truth is that I had no choice and Juliete's mom did not either. My husband told me that he was going to kill me and I could tell by the hatred in his eyes that it was going to happen if I didn't leave. I actually considered staying and dying a violent death because I was so afraid of what my boys would go through but obviously leaving was the best decision I have ever made. The blame lies with the men who batter. Juliette's mom does not deserve to be controlled and beaten and neither does any woman. I feel most guilty that I brought children into a violent home but I was very young and I was also already very wounded from the things I experienced myself as a child. The key is breaking the cycle before more children are brought into violent homes. And also declaring that good will prevail. Abuse is evil and I believe in a good God who loves us and wants to free us from shame and abuse. I believe he is bigger than anything our kids will face in this difficult world and that is why I will be praying for Juliet, her sisters and her mom. I am going to pray that God provides a way for them to get to school easily and I know he can do it.
God Bless you for caring,

Lemar Marshall to speak at fundraising event for Legacy Farms
"We are always thinking about his future," Marshall said, "Did we do enough to help him grow as a man and give him all of the options he will need to develop to become who he wants to be in life?"
"Their fears are legitimate," said Pamela Quinn, Loudoun County special education teacher and vice president of Legacy Farms. "Trying to plan for your child's future while working to provide the best opportunities that ensure they succeed is a daunting task. That's where Legacy Farms comes in."
Legacy Farms seeks to launch a residential farmstead providing vocational training for adults with special needs. To promote that vision, Legacy Garden was created for these adults to learn about growing crops.
Legacy is also developing partnerships in the community such as a hydroponic greenhouse garden training center and a training program with a therapeutic horseback riding facility. These partnerships encourage community involvement to promote the farmstead vision.
The Marshall's message to inspire the local community to get involved with Legacy Farms is simple, "Basically, one of the things we have to continue to do, as a community, is to help special needs people by having supportive outlets available to them." Marshall said. "People with autism and other special needs enjoy being around animals and learning, and they can do that on a farm while gaining the independence they desire."

When a customer wants something, and he or she wants it right away, the best and easiest option is for them to type in what they want in either Google or Yahoo!. If you're the one offering the product or the service, what you want is for the search engines to bring up your website. In simpler words, search engines will be your middle man. You want them to bring customers, or what they call as traffic, into your website, thus, the term Search Engine Optimization. The higher your website is ranked by the search engines, the more chances that customers will click on them whenever they find the content relevant to their needs.
Most people cannot do this optimization alone, hence, the birth of SEO hosting. If Yahoo! and Google are your middle men, the hosts are your messengers. The purpose of hosting sites is to communicate with the search engines. They will identify what the search engines are looking for (content, speed, user-friendliness of the website) and try to modify your site so that it will be ranked higher. The host will try to link your site to other websites so that more traffic can be achieved. Considering all these, we can now conclude that obtaining a hosting site is a must for an online business to fare better in the cyber marketplace.

Man eating plants!! Sounds scary, and lucky for us that there are not many plants around that are attacking humans; 'Day of the Triffids" has long passed us by and all is well between mankind and the plant world for now. Flesh eating carnivorous plants!! Now here is a bit more of a reality. Even though relatively rare compared to the vast plant groupings out there, the flesh eating plant is not only out there, but may find their way into your backyard pond, and they are nothing to be scared of.
Flesh eating plants is such an unsavory name for this group of bog plants and most of us may already know them by their common names of pitcher plants and venus fly traps, amongst others. Yes these unusual, beautiful, and fascinating plants are available for keeping in your pond AND they can thrive!
As a kid I remember purchasing Venus Fly Trap kits from the back of the comic books I read. I'd get the kit and be amazed at how these plants actually eat stuff like flies, etc. Not really knowing how to take care of them it never took long for me to kill my amazing plant friends; but what do you want from a 12 year old boy. Now, many years later, can you imagine my surprise to see that these plants are not only popular again but now other carnivorous plants like pitcher plants can be kept in my water garden..so here we go again.
But first a bit about these specialized plants. Carnivorous plants are found around the world, even here in my state of New Jersey, with the majority of them coming from bog or wetland environments. Because the water in those environments typically have low nutrient levels these plants adapted to get additional nutrients by trapping and eating prey like bugs and small animals. But to be truly classified as a carnivorous plant they must exhibit 5 characteristics:
1. The plant must attract prey, usually by offering bright colors and nectar. The venus fly trap and pitcher plants both offer nectar to their prey.
2. The plant must be able to actually capture and hold the prey. These plants have tiny hairs that when disturbed send signals to the plant to close its leaves which will hold the prey. The pitcher plant has a slippery interior that the prey cannot crawl out of, these are called pitfall traps.
3. The prey must be caught alive and die from the plant. The living prey will typically die from the store of liquid digestive enzymes these carnivorous plants produce.
4. The plant must actually digest the prey. The prey cannot just be killed and then rejected or expelled by the plants, the plants will literally digest the prey completely.
5. The plants must be able to utilize the nutrients from the prey. A carnivorous plant must use the nutrients gained from its prey to help grow and live.
Keeping these plants is fun and easy in your water garden and don't really require that you feed them, but it is fun to offer a meal here and there to observe these amazing plants close up. Venus fly traps and pitcher plants can be found online or at specialty garden centers that sell aquatic plants. Only a few are cold tolerant and most are considered tropical. They should not be submerged but only kept very wet in shallow water. Fertilizing these plants is a no-no, they get their nutrients from the prey they take in. Most like plenty of sun too.
So try something different, bring one home for the kids, or yourself! Add another dimension of fun to your water garden and a great way to keep the kids involved too.

About This Book
Llama Llama just can't get out of bed. It's his first day of school, and he's not too happy about it. Still, he trudges along and makes his bed, brushes his teeth, and eats his breakfast.
But once he arrives at his classroom — with so many new faces, new names, and new games — little Llama doesn't know what to do. And when Mama Llama leaves, the little guy feels even more shy and alone. What will this lonely llama do? Will Mama ever return?

Marc-Andre Hamelin positively buoyant in recital at Symphony Center
BY WYNNE DELACOMA May 20, 2013 4:18PM
Everything about pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin's concert Sunday afternoon at Symphony Center was refreshing.
The sparkling watery imagery that bubbled up in some of the repertoire featuring sonatas by Alban Berg and Rachmaninoff and pieces by Faure, Ravel, Debussy and Hamelin himself fit nicely with Symphony Center's ongoing Rivers Festival theme. And the dappled, rippling sound of Hamelin's piano was a happy reminder of the perfect spring weather outside, bringing to mind the hordes of children romping around Crown Fountain in Millennium Park a block from Symphony Center. Finally, the sizable audience gave Hamelin their undivided attention. Perhaps spring actually has banished Chicago audiences' chronic coughs and colds.
The Canadian pianist is an awe-inspiring virtuoso. In the Scarbo movement of Ravel's "Gaspard de la nuit," his glistening arpeggios and running chords were playful but powerful. Storming across the keyboard like smoothly rolling thunder, then stammering with unexpected starts and stops, they gave us a vivid picture of a not-always benign nocturnal gremlin. At the start of his own, very witty Variations on a Theme by Paganini, Hamelin wrapped Paganini's sprightly but faintly dark melody in softly dissonant chords. As the variations piled up, he all but hammered the theme into submission with the famous four opening notes of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 and snatches of overwrought romanticism by Liszt. The final variation was a cheerful helter-skelter mash-up, an exhilarating combination of technical tricks, high spirits and carefully crafted composition.
But Hamelin is not a pianistic showman. We don't see flailing limbs or rhapsodic gazes heavenward. What he offers is a rare ability to integrate technical virtuosity into a thoughtful, intensely intimate performance of the music at hand. In the Ondine movement of "Gaspard de la nuit,'' we heard not only the crystalline ripples of the water sprite's evanescent world but also gusts of chilly wind, evoked by hushed, shuddering passages that were more felt than heard.
The mood was lighter though no less colorful in the recital's two Faure pieces: the airy Impromptu No. 2 in F Minor, Op. 31, and the suavely seductive Barcarolle No. 3 in G-Flat Major, Op. 42. There was a lovely blend of serenity and weight in the drifting chords of Debussy's "Reflets dans l'eau" from Book 1 of "Images" for Piano. In Ravel's "Jeux d'eau," the atmosphere was more youthful, full of gleaming ripples and snatches of exotic melody.
Hamelin's sound was crisp and powerful in Berg's Piano Sonata Op. 1, with dissonances clashing energetically against the lyrical flow but never disrupting it. He displayed that same kind of seamless control in Rachmaninoff's Piano Sonata No. 2, never allowing its massive bursts of fireworks to overwhelm the melodic lines.
Encores were Rachmaninoff's dulcet Prelude in G-Sharp Minor, Op. 32, No. 12, and Hamelin's own comic send-up: "Chopin's Minute Waltz, in Seconds."

Man jailed for eight years for Adrian Ronan kidnapping
Stephen Freeman involved in robbery of Kilkenny hurler and his family

A man who was involved in the kidnapping of Kilkenny All Ireland hurling champion Adrian Ronan and his family has been sentenced to 10 years in prison with the final two suspended.
The court heard Stephen Freeman's role was to pick up and transport the money after the raid, but he couldn't drive so a gambling associate taxi driver was hired. The case against Freeman was largely based on him admitting his involvement to this taxi driver.
Freeman (27) of Ballcurris gardens, Ballymun, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on a trial date to attempted robbery of cash with others from Bank of Ireland, Parliament Street, Kilkenny on Tuesday November 3rd, 2009. He also admitted using force on Adrian and Mary Ronan and members of their family in order to frighten them.
He has seven previous convictions.
Today, Judge Desmond Hogan commented that though he was dealing with an attempted robbery charge, the offence took place as part of a kidnapping.
The judge said: "There are a few categories of offences that in my view nearly are universally regarded with public opprobrium and certainly in my view tiger kidnapping comes within that category."
The judge said Freeman was acting in common design. He commented Freeman was "enthusiastic" to get involved as he got somebody else to do the driving when he couldn't fulfil this role.
Judge Hogan described the written statements from the Ronan family as "harrowing" reading. "I must say that listening to Mr Ronan and the effects it has had on him and his family has left me with nothing but extreme disgust," the judge said.
He noted the family is still suffering from the effects of the "horrific, abominable crime". He said he hoped the outcome of this case would bring the family some closure.
The judge took into account Freeman's age at the time of the offence and his guilty plea. He suspended the final two years of the 10 year sentence for three years. He also ordered that Freeman undergo any gambling addiction course deemed appropriate by the Probation Services.
Det Insp Michael Hennebry said Freeman was the only person to be prosecuted for the raid though many were arrested.
He revealed the Ronans woke up at 5am to find three masked men in their bedroom.
The raiders cable tied Mr Ronan's hands and told him: "You're going to do a job for us. We're taking your wife and you're going to get us €3 million."
They asked Mr Ronan: "Do you want your kids to be without a mother for Christmas?"
They drove Mrs Ronan to a disused weather station outside Kilkenny, where she was tied to a swivel chair at gun point for eight hours.

They're nice and cheap, length between two earbuds makes them not pull each other out, like some more expensive pairs, and they don't feel like they'll fall apart without a beating.

It has a great color, special for those who have pink cell phones or mp3 players, like me. Good sound and it had 3 colored pieces to change, which is great.

It is a nice vibrant color, different from other people. Would be great to match a pink mp3 player. The DX picture is representative of what you get in person. Cable length is a good length.

On the other artwork with Kimberly, Trent, and Kaygeta the one I upload. And now I did this as a poster-movie likely as the one with chibi verison of the pokemon fan/ orginial character will be cast of the Wizard of Oz. Her dog is a puppy and is a male; his name is Dooaly. Yup the Tin-Man is Rocka, Scarecrow is Andrew, and the Cowardly Lion is Max William.
Yup. Trent is as a Wizard of Oz, and Diana (girlfriend of Trent) is the Good Witch. Up to the last is Kaygeta (rival/ friend of Kimberly) with a hat is the Wicked Bad Witch...
Not good drawing at all. :( But this is like almost a SD anime show likely.. Hmm.. Don't know if I do a movie about it evening like the same like last year of "Mystery of K Bander Two" (Story of 3 Bear Base-of Story) and same as here.
Enjoy, guys.

LSI Industries Narrows 4Q Loss, Voices Optimism
"The fourth quarter and fiscal 2009 were difficult periods for LSI Industries due to weak economic conditions which adversely affected our markets," Robert J. Ready, president and CEO, said in a statement.
"Even if it is too early to declare a resumption of economic growth in the overall economy, at LSI we are seeing signs that give us optimism for our business during the first half of fiscal 2010," he said.
The company said it expects to return to profitability in fiscal 2010.
LSI declared a regularly quarterly cash dividend of 5 cents per share payable Sept. 8 to shareholders of record as of Sept. 1. It also set the annual indicated cash dividend rate at 20 cents per share for fiscal 2010.

In an effort to save the Greek economy, and by extension the euro itself, eurozone countries—the 16 European Union states that use the common currency—have agreed on a multibillion-euro bailout that also will impose financial austerity measures on Greece.
Greece has attempted to recover from its most recent economic crisis by introducing an austerity package of its own that has cut civil servants' wages, frozen pensions and increased consumer taxation. —JCL
The Guardian:
The eurozone has agreed a multibillion-euro bailout for Greece as part of a package to shore up the single currency after weeks of crisis, the Guardian has learnt.
Senior sources in Brussels said that Berlin had bowed to the bailout agreement despite huge resistance in Germany and that the finance ministers of the "eurozone"—the 16 member states including Greece who use the euro—are to finalise the rescue package on Monday. The single currency's rulebook will also be rewritten to enforce greater fiscal discipline among members.
The member states have agreed on "co-ordinated bilateral contributions" in the form of loans or loan guarantees to Greece if Athens finds itself unable to refinance its soaring debt and requests help from the EU, a senior European commission official said.
AP / Petros Giannakouris
Protesters march through the streets of Athens earlier this month during a nationwide strike against government austerity measures.

Elevated LPS and Cholesterol in Type 2 Diabetes
Byron's Comments:
The problem is elevated LPS is typical in individuals with multiple metabolic problems.
Study Title:Type 2 Diabetes and Lipoprotein Metabolism Affect LPS-Induced Cytokine and Chemokine Release in Primary Human Monocytes.
Study Abstract:
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Obesity and insulin resistance are characterized by a chronic and low grade state of inflammation and the pro-inflammatory response of monocytes is affected in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). We aimed to investigate whether LPS-induced monocytic cytokine and chemokine release depends on serum lipoprotein parameters in T2D patients.
METHODS: Primary human monocytes were isolated from 29 patients with known T2D and from 20 healthy volunteers. Anthropometric and disease-related parameters such as age, gender, BMI, WHR, diabetes duration, diabetes complications, and diabetes control (HbA1c) were documented. Monocytes were stimulated for 18 h with LPS (1 μg/ml). Unstimulated monocytes served as control. The supernatant concentrations of CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, MIF and resistin were measured by ELISA.
RESULTS: LPS-stimulation significantly (p<0.001) increased CCL chemokine and resistin concentrations in healthy controls and in patients with T2D, whereas MIF release was not affected in both groups. LPS-induced CCL2 and resistin concentrations were significantly higher in T2D patients when compared to healthy controls. In T2D patients, LPS-induced CCL3 concentration was higher in males when compared to females (p=0.039) and supernatant resistin concentration upon stimulation with LPS showed a significant and positive correlation with age (r=0.6; p=0.001). LPS-induced CCL2 concentration was significantly and positively correlated with serum triglyceride concentration (r=0.4; p=0.009) in T2D patients. Furthermore, LPS-induced CCL4 concentration was significantly and positively correlated with total (r=0.4; p=0.035) and LDL cholesterol (r=0.4; p=0.033) concentration.
CONCLUSIONS: LPS responsiveness of monocytes is altered in T2D and is affected by the respective serum lipoprotein metabolism

Has anyone installed Lexion (or heard of it!)? I'm about to install it so we can trial it and wondering if there's any gotcha's!!
We took a look at BETT and installed the demo. It's a small Swedish company and they were very helpful. My SENCO liked it very much indeed and wanted it for Dyslexia screening. We would only have installed it SEN not across the network. Unfortunately it lost out in the budget fight.

(From Jackie's mom)
Yesterday I took Jackie to the doctor because she hadn't been feeling well and I could tell she was getting worse. The vet diagnosed her with heart failure and said that because her heart wasn't working properly her abdomen had filled with fluid and that there is no way to fix the problem. The doctor drained some of the fluid to make Jackie more comfortable, but our little girl was suffering and we had to make the difficult decision to help her on her journey to the Rainbow Bridge. Thank you to Dr. Jennifer of Compassionate Care in Portland, Oregon, who came to our home today to make Jackie's journey as easy as possible. We are so very, very sad to say goodbye our sweet girl.
Run free with Dillon, Little Miss. We love you so much.

Score from 79 reviews Very good
Cheap for a night, nice deck to sit on. Pickup from port but they said we would be dropped back off and we weren't
Hated the shower, too many stairs with no help, owner wasn't very helpful, no sign outside so you pretty much get lost, add and photos made it sound way better than it really was
Maria the owner is very sweet. Apartment just in the center of the city, bus station very close, you can walk everywhere. They have pick up service wich is helpfull. Bathroom was brand new. Wifi was good. Air conditioner is a plus. They take off the trash and change the towels every couple of days
There was some dust on the flor, nothing too worry though. Other than that, all very nice!!
We stayed in a small apartment next to the beach which was perfect for a 2 night stay. Maria picked us up from the airport and she was the most helpful person. She explained everything about the island and where the bus stop was and times and cost and even drove us to the beach to show us where it was. She also picked us up to take us to the port and luckily as the ferry company had changed our boat and port for departure without telling us, Maria sorted it all out for us and made sure we had a safe departure. Thank you so much Maria!
In the centre of mikonos town, perfect location, very friendly staff
Location location location
What's the purpose of having a TV if it gets no channels? Also first time I saw no housekeeping at all in a room.
For an expensive island, the price was reasonable. The location is central, and quiet at night. And Eleni herself is cheerful and positive.
It's difficult to find, as there is no sign at all. There was then a fuss about the keys fitting the lock. And also a tiny car was sent to pick up 4 of us with luggage.
Maria is lovely. She picked me up from the sea port and I stayed in an adorable apartment/unit that had an amazing view of Mykonos, was peaceful and quiet, a short walk to Mykonos town, and also a short walk to the bus station if you want to travel to other parts of the island. Absolutely lovely holiday and I can't wait to go back. Definitely recommend staying here.
Maria who picked us up from the airport and dropped us off at the airport was lovely and very helpful as was her mother who lived above the room - the staff generally were very nice and good with the children. The room itself is in a great location in the town but not noisy as it is located down a small side street.
The room was a bit expensive for what it was but then again Myconos is a very expensive island and as I say the location was great. Sleep was disturbed by some very noisy part goers but that is the luck of the draw I suppose.
Great location, great staff always willing to help, they came to the airport and to the port for us. Would come back.
Good location, nice loft and upstairs terrace, cleaned before we moved in/
A bit small for 5 people, not enough crockery/cooking utensils. Did not appear to be the same apartment as the exterior picture, but next door. Although terrace was nice some shade and greenery would make it fantastic!
The Studio is VERY nice located. We have a terrace were we spent nice moments. Maria is VERY nice. We had to change the date and she did without problem. I recomend this PLACE.
The room was a little bit small for 3 persons. IN the terrace was not shadow so we didnt have PLACE to stay in the middle day
The stuff is very nice. Free airport shuttle. Very central location close to the main street in the city center.
We were in 3 people and the room was very very small. It's good just for sleeping anf doing a shower.. If you like to spend time in a hotel room, this is not the right place
The location couldn't be better and Maria was an absolutely perfect host. We had a balcony overlooking one of the main streets and a shared kitchen. It honestly couldn't have been better!
The location is good because u are surrounded with shops, bars and restaurants. Eleni and her daughter Maria are extremely sweet and helpful. Picked us from airport.
The wifi was out of order for half my stay but the staff did everything to adjust the fault. The hardware got fried just upon my arrival and parts are difficult to come by on the island.
Eleni herself is very accommodating and really wanted to make sure that we enjoyed our stay there. There are multiple locations she owns all throughout Mykonos, and we got one of her rooms with a balcony which was fantastic! The location was perfect as well as we were right in the middle of town.
The A/C was sometimes not working as well as we would have liked, especially since we were there in the summer. Beds are not the most comfortable, very thin mattresses.
Eleni and her family is very kind, they always want to help their clients. If you don't looking for facilities in the hotel, value for money is excellent. And the hotel is in the center of the town, you can easily walk in downtown and buses for going to beaches.
Free pick up and drop to the ferry port. Unexpectedly duplex room for us. WiFi connection speed excellent. Good behavior from the owner. At the end, location was super. Near to windmill, little venice, bus stop and main shopping centre of Chora.
It is in the centre of city. You can go everywhere easily. AltHough room is small, price is cheap. We stay room that has balcony. I advise stay in room that has balcony.
The bed is not comfıortable. Shower is bad.
Maria was a wonderful host, the room was clean and the bed comfortable!!!! I'd go back, especially since the Gallini (which is the sister hotel where I acutally stayed) was only a few steps away from shopping, the bus stop, and a short distance to the water.
The Staff took us in the port (his really matters because it's really difficult to find anything in the city, not just the hotel). The location of the Hotel is very good, close to the center and main bus station. The room had a good bed, A/C and a fridge.
The bath didn't had courtains in the shower and it gets all wet and dirty. They didn't cleaned up our room during the two days we staid there.
Location was good just off the front She must have other rooms has these did not look like the one in the photo and they were closer to the sea than we thought . Would go again
Shower could be better.
Maria is really nice and friendly. The studio is close to city center. The room is clean!
we don't have wifi in the room
Simple place with an excelent location in center of mykonos! Amazing and very atencious stuff!
Location is pretty good . Though almost no view of the sea .
Kitchen cutlary not present in adequate manner,microwave not there. Lower floor not heated properly .
Maria was extremely nice, friendly and helpful, especially in offering to help settle our transportation issues to and from Paradise beach. We were also pleasantly surprised by the free transfers to and from the ports. The apartment was decent, with two bedrooms, a sizeable kitchen and a roof terrace that we unfortunately did not get the change to use.

Intergrated lights out or just lights out?
Let's set a metaphorical scene.
You're looking for a new car, and a salesperson is walking you round. You take a seat in the passenger seat, and notice two buttons on the dashboard. Both are marked "Sports mode". Being inquisitive, you ask about them.
"Yes, one is for the Sports mode, and the other is for Sports mode. Sports mode enables you to go faster, on the other hand Sports mode is to park your car in the garage."
Suitably unimpressed, you lamp the idiot in the face and go and buy a TVR instead.
Back to the real world, remembering the above metaphor, why in the name of Beelzebub and his Justin Bieber lookalike minions can't HP decide on what to call what everyone else refers to as link aggregation?
"Just need to enable trunking. That's the ticket. No, hang on, that's not trunking. That's trunking!"
Reaches for the hobnobs and tea.
