Every year, 40 million of these fish swim through the rivers and streams surrounding Bristol Bay. Will a new mine destroy this intricate ecosystem and its $400 million industry?
Late June and early July mark the peak of the biggest run of wild salmon left in the world. The sockeye salmon migration of Bristol Bay, Alaska, can number more than 40 million fish, and the commercial fishing industry in the region is worth more than $400 million.
The author filed this report via satellite as he traveled the region. His trip was particularly timely: Right now, the United States Environmental Protection Agency is deciding whether to prevent what could be a 10 billion ton copper and gold mine in this remote, sensitive area -- something many fishermen fear could spell the end of this magnificent run.
It takes a lot of country to grow a lot of salmon. But not just any country. For a salmon system to work, there needs to be an unusual and interconnected conveyance of water through an ecosystem -- something that seems obvious, but which is endlessly interesting when you start honing in on the details of an intact salmon system.
For the last week, I have been floating down the Stuyahok River, one of the
many rivers that feed a 40 million fish annual run of salmon. Hiking up a ridge line on Tuesday we took in the landscape in the shadow of what could become the continent's largest copper and gold mine -- the so-called "Pebble Mine" deposit. All
around us were tiny lakes -- "potholes," they are called.
These lakes seem completely cut off from the rest of the water in the system, but in fact they are merely temporary expressions of a vast underwater flow, coming to the surface like a pockmark or a pimple. Water is forever moving under the spongy tundra, coursing through it, bursting out in one little lake here, another small stream there. And throughout, these underwater currents interconnect. According to the nonprofit conservation organization Trout Unlimited, salmon researchers have on occasion found salmon juveniles swimming underground.
When Pebble Mine supporters here defend their belief that 10 billion tons of ore can be processed without undue damage to the salmon fishery, they maintain that their footprint will be only a few square miles, that they will only be working within the context of a creek or two and a handful of pothole lakes. But it is frankly quite difficult to say where one watershed ends and another begins. Cartographers can point to the above-ground flow of rivers, but as with an iceberg, this visual part is just the tip. The real business of salmon country, the fundamentals underlying it all are never seen with the human eye.
Anyone who guides this country has felt this viscerally. Mark Rutherford, my guide on this trip, used to be a firefighter for the Alaska Department of Natural Resources. While fires certainly presented their challenges -- and the sometimes 7.0 strength earthquakes did as well -- the thing Rutherford notes as causing the most damage and change are the floods. "I have seen an Alaska log cabin picked up in its entirety, carried two miles down river and deposited on a sand bank completely intact with food still in the refrigerator," he told me over the campfire one evening. Indeed, Mark always makes sure that every campsite we choose on the river has an easy escape route to high ground.
But floods do much more than shake the insignificant fleas of human
habitation off the great hide of the land. Floods represent a great
co-joining of all the complex hydrology that permeates everything. As we
walked over the tundra in high summer here, we found it spongy and dry. But
when months of rain and snow melt accumulate, at a certain point the yards
deep layer of lichen and moss can hold no more water.
And then, all at once the tundra belches forth a great gust of flow. And all the rivers -- the Stuyahok, the Mulchatna, the Kvichak, the Nushagak and all other thousands of little unnamed rivulets of this vast country -- swell and overwhelm, and all is intermingled. In such a great deluge, it is difficult to imagine all the mining waste remaining safely tucked behind the containment infrastructure instead of spilling out and joining in all the aqueous good fun of the pure water downstream.

Mysterious fictional author Richard Castle releases his second book, Naked Heat, on September 28. Fans of the show will be happy to know that the new season of Castle starts on September 20.
Richard Castle is inspired by mystery novelists and TV writers like Stephen J. Cannell and James Patterson. Both best-selling authors make cameos on the television show. The first book written by Castle, Heat Wave, was not only featured in the show but was an important plot point in one of last season's episodes.
With so much talk about food safety, organic produce, and local eating, do you ever have the urge to just move to the country and start your own farm?
That's what Josh Kilmer-Purcell and his partner did, and you can read all about the ups and downs of shifting from New York ad exec (and former drag queen) to farmer in The Bucolic Plague.
You may be familiar with The Fabulous Beekman Boys from their TV show on Planet Green.
LiveWell West Denver invites you to a Taste of the Garden Produce and Health Fair on August 20 from 9-11:30 a.m. at Iglesia Luterana Cristo Rey. Each family or single adult will get a bag or box full of free fruits and vegetables! There will also be cooking demos with free samples!
What is your favorite fresh from the garden vegetable recipe? I love zucchini and asparagus. I've found that the trick to cooking asparagus is to saute them over medium/low until they turn bright green. Serve quickly. They really taste the best when they are still snappy. The rest of the menu usually goes a little something like this: baked salmon in wasabi/honey/soy sauce mix, couscous, and spring mix salad. Depending on how fancy we are feeling, we might saute the asparagus in garlic and fresh rosemary. What I like best is that none of these dishes is time or labor intensive.
You picked the recipe and now it's time to review it. The Mac n Cheese Pancakes from Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin were a huge hit at my house! Watch the video and see how easy it is to make them at home.
I. LOVE. THIS. COOKBOOK. Seriously people, is there a more fun-to-read, easy-on-your-busy-lifestyle, creative cookbook out there?
Fun to read because he's so entertaining and funny and he has a potty mouth that keeps it real.
Easy because I had left over macaroni to use for a pasta salad later in the week and although I do prefer to make things from scratch, using the dry pancake mix was a cinch. With all that maple-y, crunchy, cheesy goodness, I couldn't tell it was from a box.
If you refer to your garage as your laboratory, or long for the days of science fair projects to explain how you blew off your eyebrows, you may be a mad scientist! Whether you are a gadget geek, a chemistry champion or an experiment egghead, the library has something to inspire, explain and delight.
Sports Illustrated once noted about John Wooden: "There has never been a finer coach in American sports. Nor a finer man." Wooden, the beloved UCLA men's basketball coach, died at the age of 99 in June.
John Wooden's communication style was markedly different than say Pat Summit, another personal favorite. Wooden tried to make each day his masterpiece and coached by the Golden Rule. Coaching was the path of service to mankind for Wooden and effective teamwork was a hallmark of his coaching. He also had a fondness for maxims. A few of my favorites include:
Have you recently traded in your stylish handbag for a diaper bag? Do you miss eating dinner with two hands while your food is still warm? Have your Facebook posts gone from witty comments to ponderings on baby poo?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then put down What to Expect the First Year and pick up one of these hilarious tales.
What's your funny mommy moment?
The first ever Philip K. Dick festival is being held in Blackhawk, Colorado on August 13,14 and 15. This area of Colorado was the setting for the Hugo Award-winning novel, The Man in the High Castle.
Did you know that Philip K. Dick (1928 - 1982) is buried in Fort Morgan, Colorado? He authored more than 50 novels and 200 short stories! Many of his works have been adapted for the big screen.

Pick from the wide selection of winners, or other books celebrating our great state! Share what you're reading or just come to learn about titles that you'll want to read.
I have read eBooks occasionally over the years, on my old Palm PDA, on a laptop, even on a regular desktop computer. I never thought I would get a special eBook reader as I've been hoping for the long awaited converging mobile technology, the phone that will be small for the pocket but large for reading, capable of doing all things but still fast.
Circumstances came together recently instigating me to buy a Nook eReader from Barnes and Noble. The Nook is compatible with the Library's wide variety of downloadable books in EPUB format. Many PDF books are also usable on the Nook.

Installing Xen On An Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Server From The Ubuntu Repositories: On 7.10
Hi all,
I am trying to make myself a home server sonsisting of multiple Xen VMs for different purposes.
But before I get to the point I can have some fun configureing the VMs I need to create them first, and thats where I am stuck.
I installed Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop on my server (since I didnt get the GUI working on the server edition) and is now fiddling with the xen-tools.
And I thought this howto wouldnt be far off my set up, but its not working :confused:
I followd the instruction (with some modifications) and the xen-create-image command halts on "Installation method: debootstrap", I can hear some disk activity for some seconds and I see some blinking on the NIC but after maby a minute the keyboard stops working and the mouse poniter gets really sluggish and nothing else works so I have to hard reboot the system.
Here is my create command:
xen-create-image --hostname=foo --size=4Gb --swap=256Mb --ide \
--dhcp --force \
--dir=/vserver --memory=256Mb --arch=i386 --kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-xen \
--initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-xen --debootstrap --dist=gutsy \
--mirror=http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ --passwd
I might have made one mistake though, I tried to do it myself before I looked up the howto and installed the ubuntu-xen-desktop package instead of the server one in the guide. But from what I can tell its the same thing with added GUI stuff.
Another thing I am not sure of is that the server is directly connected to my cable modem with DHCP since I dont have a router (wich will be the first task I will give this box). And since the host system is also using DHCP with only one address available, I am not sure how Xen responds to this. I tried to set the main interface to 0.0.0.0 before I ran the create command but there was no progress.
Any clues?
but it isn't much different that the 7.04 guide, so that should work, too.
Did you take a look at your logs? Maybe you don't have enough RAM or hard disk space?
Thanks for the reply,
For some reason I didnt recive a mail stating your feedback until 24.12 :confused:
Found the fault though, it was that I couldnt get a second IP address from the ISP.
So I snuck out a spare Cisco router from work and used that instead until I get a gateway running on a virtual server.
Works like a charm now :)

Hey Everyone,
I have had my orchard secured card since april of 2008. Today i decided to call their customer service line to ask when my card would become unsecured and about a credit limit increase. The woman on the line (India) told me that my card would not become an unsecured card and i would not get my $300 deposit back unless i closed the account. Does this sound right? i was under the impression that i would at least get a CLI. It's been a year, this is my only credit card and i always PIF and never carry a balance. Maybe they're just mad because i haven't paid them any interest. Any input would be appreciated.

Most important first step after buying your supplies to start DIY .Testing and getting a feel for your flavors and flavor notes. If you dont know what your flavors taste like at various percentages its like trying to mix blindfolded.Test your flavors indivudually so you know how each one can work in a recipe.This will also give you a general idea of how concentrated each flavoring is.

Today, the agenda includes finding pants, shorts, sandals, and shorts. And I'm not sure what else. We have tons of food that we need to try while we're here. So I guess I'm off to do that
As promised, here I am writing more. Today, the big buy was some pants. They're Rayon, which I was somewhat skeptical about (I was looking for cotton), but they've turned out to be really nice. They're REALLY thin. And grey. I really like them. Also, I haven't been too impressed with the food we've been eating around where we're staying. It's mediocre (and would be even in America). But we journeyed across a really busy road to another area and had dinner there, and it was really good. I've yet to have exceptionally good curry, though. Still looking. Other than that, not too much to report. I walked past a DJ outside who was spinning (not very well though). I was curious until he walked away and the music turned to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." Also watching was a shirtless guy with a VERY attractive face. It was kind of remarkable, as it's not often that someone has a strikingly attractive feature. He also had a lot of tattoos (not that attractive, in my own opinion).
We also went through some other parts, though nowhere too far from our street. Lottery is HUGE here. There are entire blocks of people selling/buying lottery tickets. We also found a small restaurant/guesthouse where the woman thought I was Thai
Other than that, not too much to report for today. It was hot and humid, as usual. Tomorrow I'll probably go visit some temples and do some touristy stuff.
QoD: Pants and really good food
AoD: Crossing the street (about 4 lanes, from three different directions, four times per crossing from median to median)
Noteworthy: The man with the attractive face.

Well, it is said what goes around comes around so what have we done this time to upset something, somewhere, somehow?
May 16, 2013
AUSTIN, Texas —
Invasive "crazy ants" are displacing fire ants in areas across the southeastern United States, according to researchers at The University of Texas at Austin. It's the latest in a history of ant invasions from the southern hemisphere and may prove to have dramatic effects on the ecosystem of the region.
The "ecologically dominant" crazy ants are reducing diversity and abundance across a range of ant and arthropod species — but their spread can be limited if people are careful not to transport them inadvertently, according to Ed LeBrun, a research associate with the Texas invasive species research program at the Brackenridge Field Laboratory in the College of Natural Sciences
The study by LeBrun and his colleagues was published in Biological Invasions.
"When you talk to folks who live in the invaded areas, they tell you they want their fire ants back," said LeBrun. "Fire ants are in many ways very polite. They live in your yard. They form mounds and stay there, and they only interact with you if you step on their mound."
LeBrun said that crazy ants, by contrast, "go everywhere." They invade people's homes, nest in crawl spaces and walls, become incredibly abundant and damage electrical equipment.
The crazy ants were first discovered in the U.S. in 2002 by a pest control operator in a suburb of Houston, and have since established populations in 21 counties in Texas, 20 counties in Florida, and a few sites in southern Mississippi and southern Louisiana.
In 2012 the species was formally identified as Nylanderia fulva, which is native to northern Argentina and southern Brazil. Frequently referred to as Rasberry crazy ants, these ants recently have been given the official common name "Tawny crazy ants."
The Tawny crazy ant invasion is the most recent in a series of ant invasions from South America brought on by human movement. The Argentine ant invaded through the port of New Orleans in about 1891. In 1918 the black imported fire ant showed up in Mobile, Ala. Then in the 1930s, the red imported fire ant arrived in the U.S. and began displacing the black fire ant and the Argentine ants.
The UT researchers studied two crazy ant invasion sites on the Texas Gulf Coast and found that in those areas where the Tawny crazy ant population is densest, fire ants were eliminated. Even in regions where the crazy ant population is less dense, fire ant populations were drastically reduced. Other ant species, particularly native species, were also eliminated or diminished.
LeBrun said crazy ants are much harder to control than fire ants. They don't consume most of the poison baits that kill fire ant mounds, and they don't have the same kinds of colony boundaries that fire ants do. That means that even if they're killed in a certain area, the supercolony survives and can swarm back over the area.
"They don't sting like fire ants do, but aside from that they are much bigger pests," he said. "There are videos on YouTube of people sweeping out dustpans full of these ants from their bathroom. You have to call pest control operators every three or four months just to keep the infestation under control. It's very expensive."
LeBrun said that in northern Argentina and southern Brazil, where the ants are native, populations are likely held in check by other ant species and a variety of natural enemies. In the U.S. there is no such natural control.
Here the crazy ants can attain densities up to 100 times as great as all other ants in the area combined. In the process, they monopolize food sources and starve out other species. LeBrun said the crazy ants, which are omnivorous, may also directly attack and kill other ant and arthropod species.
The overall result is a significant reduction in abundance and biodiversity at the base of the food chain, which is likely to have implications for the ecosystem as a whole.
"Perhaps the biggest deal is the displacement of the fire ant, which is the 300 pound gorilla in Texas ecosystems these days," said LeBrun. "The whole system has changed around fire ants. Things that can't tolerate fire ants are gone. Many that can have flourished. New things have come in. Now we are going to go through and whack the fire ants and put something in its place that has a very different biology. There are going to be a lot of changes that come from that."
LeBrun said a great deal about the Tawny crazy ants remains unknown, including their potential range. So far, most of the colonies are in fairly wet environments with mild winters, near the coast, so it may be the case that they can't thrive in drier or colder climates, and that fire ants will remain dominant in those areas.
The spread of the Tawny crazy ants may also be limited, even within the more hospitable climates, by caution from humans. The reproductive members of the species don't fly. So when left to their own devices, crazy ant colonies can only advance about 200 meters a year. That means they're dependent on humans to colonize new areas.
"They are opportunistic nesters," said LeBrun. "They can take up residence in everything from a house plant, to an empty container left outside, to an RV. So they're easily transported by us. But the flip side of that is that if people living in or visiting invaded areas are careful and check for the crazy ants when moving or going on longer trips, they could have a huge impact on the spread." Nursery products also appear to be a key way these ants spread, so both buyers and sellers should be watchful for these ants.
LeBrun said that cutting down on the number of transplantation events could slow the spread by years or decades. And that extra time could give the ecosystem time to adapt and researchers time to develop better control methods.
"We can really make a difference," he said, "but we need to be careful, and we need to know more."

The Crazy Ants found our house and nearly drove us crazy...everything had to be put in freezer or refrigerator..they are able to get into the pancake syrup with it cleaned and lid on tight...yes we swept up piles of the pests...ended up calling the pest control..just couldn't get a hand on them but I think we finally have them under control and yes the man found them in the attic also..Thanks for this report on them, it is very informative...
4. Kent Brockman said on May 17, 2013
I for one welcome our new ant overlords.
5. Wastrel said on May 17, 2013
Long-term and inexpensive control by pesticides and telling people to look for the ants in their potted plants etc. is hopeless. This was demonstrated by attempts to control the inported fire ant.
"LeBrun said that in northern Argentina and southern Brazil, where the ants are native, populations are likely held in check by other ant species and a variety of natural enemies. In the U.S. there is no such natural control." Importing other ant species (to create competition) seems unwise, but since the crazy ant is already established, we can try importing some of their natural enemies. Potentially, these are bacteria and fungi, phorid flies (like the imported fire ant), and parasitic wasps or lepidoptera. Apparently some populations of the imported fire ant are also infected with a virus.
Is there a need to spend decades and millions of dollars studying the crazy ant to indentfy these natural enemies and then introduce them to this country? No. Go to their native territory in Argentina and Brazil, and collect 50 or 100 whole colonies of crazy ants, transport them quickly to the US and let them loose in areas that are already infested. They will bring the parasites, bacteria, fungi and viruses with them. This may seem counter-intuitive but the additional harm from a few more colonies will be minimal, while the benfits of importing their natural enemies will be great.

I'm insulted they are called "crazy" ants. It should be "challenged" ants or something not so offensive. I shall write my congressperson.
9. Geoff said on May 17, 2013
One thing that the article did not discuss (and I am too lazy to look up) is whether tawny crazy aunts kill termites. Here in southern California, termites are a very expensive nuisance and trading the damage from termites for the aggravation of crazy ants might be worth it.
And for the people afflicted with crazy ants: try borax powder. The ants around here walk over it, lick their feet, and die. It's efficient.
10. Larry said on May 17, 2013
I bought a tree threw arbor day and live in Pa. I had what I thought was spiders with a nest and leaves curling in. The big red ants were crazy. You get within a couple feet and they'd stand on there hind legs and look like they'd pounce on you. I know they followed me while waling around them. I took one as a souvenir; tried to get it identified.... but all the nursery guys just said get it the hell out of here... even in a jar. These ants sure were crazy. Not sure what they were though. I spayed the tree and not seen them since.
11. Hal said on May 17, 2013
I first noticed these ants at our home here in Pearland, TX (just south of Houston) a little over a year ago. I have not seen a cockroach in our house since. I've only seen them in the yard (so far) and not inside house. The only predator I've seemed to notice they have are all of the doves we have around here.
12. Hawaiian Dude said on May 17, 2013
Don't want to use a Pesticide? Do what we do in Hawaii. Use an empty Windex bottle and fill it with very soapy water and spray it on the ants. The soapy water will wreck havoc on the ants oily bodies. Then keep the inside of your Kitchen spotless clean if you want them to stay away.

14. Citizen A said on May 17, 2013
This article fails to mention plants that deter ants. So take a ride on your internet browser and research the kinds of plants ants hate. Humans love to resort to toxic chemicals...egads...get a grip - turn to Nature.

Crazy ants made it all the way to Cleveland! When Lebrun found out, he quit on the city and took his vast knowledge of ants to south beach.
16. Terence Conklin said on May 18, 2013
Call me crazy but I prefer crazy ants any day. I lived for years in the Virgin Islands and crazy ants eat sweet stuff are fun to watch and relatively harmless. Fire ants sting like crazy (no pun intended) and feed on fatty stuff. I suspect they change in the environmental balance is due to crumbs of jelly donuts dropped by our billowing overeating neighbors. Switch back to Kentucky Fried and the fire ants will return to favor.
17. Jonathan Lovelace said on May 18, 2013
Importing their natural predators is not a good idea.
There is a long and horrid history of doing that sort of thing. In short, instead of one invasive species, you have two. Google Australia cane toad, or Hawaii Mongoose, and scores of others.

For ants and many bugs the best thing II found to control them was Diatomaceous Earth..
I would find a trail and put out a cap full of Syrup water and then after they knew wher it was I would lightly sprinkle Diatomaceous Earth all aroud where it was and put it back again Do this in a couple of places and the coloney will quickly in a couple of weeks all be gone..

30. Yog S said on May 18, 2013
Take a look at Australian biological history for many examples on why your proposal won't work and will only introduce a whole new series of problems.
31. Wilf Tarquin said on May 18, 2013
@Wastrel: That is a good plan. The typical pattern for an invasive species is to undergo a population explosion, and then gradually predators and parasites catch up, reducing numbers. Your plan would shortcut this process for the Crazy ant.
The downside is that since you don't know what you bring in, you could be bringing in even worse pests, but the probability in a case like this is low.
32. Erica said on May 18, 2013
I had these crazy ants invade a laptop and crap up the motherboard! They like to move their eggs and make outposts in the craziest places! They also infested an abandoned tube of lipgloss... They come out in droves ..windex will kill them on contact.
33. bob said on May 18, 2013
@Wastrel you're an idiot. Introducing a new species to combat a pest might seem like a good idea but as many countries have found out this only leads to more problems. The smartest way to do it is to clean up the mess ourself which is costly and time consuming but the results of another introduced species could be even more dangerous.
34. Pete in Texas said on May 18, 2013
Look into treating infected areas with garden-grade (not swimming pool filter-grade) diatomaceous earth. It kills insects mechanically, not chemically. It is "dusted" and remains effective as long as it stays dry.
35. Brian Baumgartner said on May 18, 2013
Crazy ants (and that's what we called them) were around our home in Pearland, Tx back in the late 1990s. I keep reading that some pest control guy "discovered" them in 2002. I guess we did not know at the time that they had not been "discovered" yet!
36. Gary Laller said on May 18, 2013
Had a serious infestation of crazy ants as did my neighbors.
used a fine powdered product containing .1% Deltamethrin (Ultradust Fire Ant Killer )
Over 3 months hit every trace of ant infestation with a 500 yard radius of my home my neighbors used professional exterminators seems to be gone now for last 6 months.
Note found 6 blind iguanas full grown blinded but the crazy ants eating their eyes out . The iguanas sleep soundly at night. They look like they are dead and can be picked up and shaken hard before they wake up.
I do not have any infants but I would think they could also do the same with infants.
37. CrazyME said on May 18, 2013
Find a commercial use for these little critters; say some type of food product and then we can just over-harvest them into extinction like we have for so many other species. Problem solved!
38. Val said on May 18, 2013
It's time the Ants ruled this Earth. I salute Kent Brockman's courage for speaking out in favor of our new masters. It only goes to figure, that something with an exoskeleton would win this struggle for dominance. I wish I was an Army Ant.
39. Val said on May 18, 2013
It seems to me if we have a crazy ant problem, we just need to get some Insane Anteaters up in hurr! Maybe like an Insane Anteater Posse...
40. Hobby Rancher said on May 18, 2013
Wastrel, I'm in your camp, but we have to be careful we don't bring other unwanted species with the crazy ant enemies. Poisons are spot treatments. It will take a biological control to put a lid on crazies.
41. Becca Helen said on May 18, 2013
Really would love to know which 20 counties in Floriduh they've been found. The picture doesn't help much either. I may, or may not, have seen these around my deck area, and a few in my walk-in shower. Guess I'll research it on my own. Lots of info, but geez, tell us where they are!!!!!!

Thank you for a response.
43. Howard Sweet said on May 18, 2013
We had these things last year. They are the smartest insects I have ever encountered. We had a dinner party where we served turkey and ham. The crazy ants smelled it outside and that night I saw the super colony send out platoons to start investigating the perimeter of the house. They ended up joining themselves head to foot in a long living ladder and invading through the attic fan. I tried to fight them off with spray, but they would send sacrificial diversion parties to draw my attention away from the main invaders, who were going after the fridge. Once they reached it, it took them less than an hour to learn how the water dispenser worked and disassemble it. They entered the fridge through the emptied out water tube and then thousands of them cut up and carried away both the ham and the turkey. All they left was bones, clean, dry, white skeletons. Then they spray painted the walls with vulgar threats warning us not to follow them and swearing revenge for those that fell during the raid. Apparently we've been standing on the throat of the ant kingdom for too long. It's our time to pay -- mostly in lost leftovers. What a bunch of pests.
44. Kay Whetzel said on May 18, 2013
I am a retired field biologist and understand how devastating introduced species are. Given a choice between exotics, in reality, I would prefer to live with non-biting-stinging species than ones who can kill animals and humans. Speaking from experience, I was sent to an ER from an accidental fall into a fire ant colony. However, I often am able to control invading insects - no matter the species - with a couple cans of Holiday foggers. The size of the fogging dispersal agent is so small that it creeps into all hiding places of insects and stops them for awhile. If one 'fogs' 1-2 times a month, one can eliminate colonies of anything. And, it is less expensive than pest control companies and their insecticide applications that don't always work.

Boric acid. I mix borax soap with sugar and water. Mix it correctly and they take it back to the nest with them. Works well. I don't have crazy ants but its worth a try. Google it.
47. captainhurt said on May 18, 2013
keep it dry and clean and ants will stay away.
if you like to live where its wet and hot, then apparantly you already like bugs, and one more aint gonna bother you.
if you dont like bugs, just keep it dry and clean.
48. Patrick said on May 18, 2013
We use Borax outside and in locations where pets cannot reach and diatomaceous earth inside and everywhere else.
With milder over-winter temperatures (no freezes) both plant and insect species susceptible to cold are growing and proliferating like crazy. Our current problem does not appear to be the Tawny Crazy ant but Carpenter Ant which bites rather than stings along with cockroaches that bite as well.

Smart Wastrel!!! Just what I was thinking!
50. Perenti said on May 19, 2013
Importing whole colonies is a bad idea if the parasites, fungi and viruses prefer native species (which won't have adapted to live with them) to the crazy ants. Biological control is very hard. Solutions that look easy are almost always terrible. We know that here in Australia, where we imported cane toads to control cane beetles. The toads preferred everything else.

@Wastrel - we imported the crazy ants, and they are causing a great deal of problems, so you want to import something else to see if that handles the issue? Sounds great! What could possibly go wrong?
53. Sue T said on May 20, 2013
I live in Orlando (Orange County) and I have them. They follow no trails and really do seem to be randomly walking everywhere. I have seen them in the bathrooms, kitchen and around the windowsills. They are a very small ants. I just bought some ant bait that is designed for crazy ants and they have disappeared from the bathrooms. It contains Imidaclorpid. Boric acid does not work. I am going to put this bait outside, around the house, in the hopes their nest is outside.
54. Paul said on May 20, 2013
I sprinkle Cream of Wheat on ant mounds. It's non-toxic, and the ants love it. Unfortunately, it stops them up and they can't poop, eventually dying off.

Aardvarks to the rescue? Why not release some Aardvarks into affected areas? Just a thought.

To rid your home of ants, boil several sticks of cinnamon in a pot of water for a couple of hours a once or twice a week.
58. Plenner said on May 22, 2013
The boric acid method and (I think) the interesting suggestion of Cream of Wheat work as desiccants. Desiccants absorb water from the body of the ant, thus killing them. The suggestion of using soapy water sprayed on the critters works by dissolving the thin layer of oil on the ant's body, and thus the water in the ant gradually evaporates - again, killing it through dehydration.

I'm a student reporter from UT. I'm working on a story regarding safety precautions for the influx of crazy ants. Unfortunately, I'm finding it impossible to land an interview with a specialist or anyone who's been inconvenienced by these new-aged critters! If you've been personally affected, (residential or business), or consider yourself a specialist, I'd love to speak with you!
If you'd be so kind to help out an aspiring student reporter, I assure you the interview will be quick and painless.

Couple arrested outside Middletown restaurant
A Middletown couple was arrested after an alleged scuffle with a police officer early Sunday.
Police say Kevin and Tina Conley, both of Middletown, were arrested on as they left the Old School Grill at 380 East Main Street about 1:25 a.m.
An officer responded to a call reporting that Kevin Conley allegedly tried to stab an employee with a switchblade knife. Police say he also threatened to kill another employee.
Police say Tina Conley tried to kick the officer in the groin while Kevin also resisted arrest.
Kevin Conley faces charges of terroristic threatening and unlawful dealing with a switchblade. Police say Tina Conley was charged with second-degree attempted assault, disorderly conduct and hindering the prosecution of a felony.
Kevin Conley is being held at James Vaughn Prison on over $27,000 secured bond while his wife was released on $11,000 unsecured bond. Both were also ordered to avoid contact with restaurant employees.

An old friend never updated her Durable General Power of Attorney documentation and has had a severe stroke. She has been in the hospital for about a week now and has thus far been unresponsive. She is considered incapacitated at this point. I feel it best at this point that her family take over her business affairs. She has a son in his 20s and 3 sisters. What do I need to do to relenquish my responsibilities? (at the time she executed the documentation, she was living with me but has not lived with me since 2010, document is dated 2009).
if the POA provides for an alternate or successor Agent, then it should just be a matter of your sending a letter to the successor/alternate. I would also send it to the principal and anyone else who you have been dealing with as agent. You may want to have the letter notarized, as well.
James Frederick
You could execute an affidavit declining to serve as the agent under the power of attorney. If there is a back up agent, that person would then step in. I would also send a letter and the affidavit to her son and sisters.
It is a good idea for your own protection to consult with an elder law attorney in Arizona to make sure you are not left vulnerable or liable in any way.
Powers of attorney frequently fail if the appointed attorney-in-fact can not or does not want to serve and the document does not list a successor who is able and willing to serve. That is one reason that people should consult with an experienced elder law attorney when preparing powers of attorney. You can refuse to serve (follow the advice that has been given) and then your friends family may need to step up and petition for guardianship. You only mentioned a durable general power of attorney. Does it contain a health care power? Without that authority, you can't make health decisions for her anyway.

- Cook the beans in boiling water for 2 mins, drain and run under cool water until cold, then drain well – they should still have a nice crunch. Using a sharp knife, remove the peel, then segment the oranges. Squeeze the juice from the pith into a small jam jar.
- Layer the orange segments, beetroot, beans, hazelnuts and finally the spinach into a large plastic food container ready for the picnic – this way the spinach won't go soggy.
- Add the remaining ingredients for the dressing to the jam jar with some seasoning, seal and pack into your salad box. When you're ready to serve, toss the salad and dressing together.

More Earthy Crunchy
Speaking of Tolkien and Lewis (and pretty much anybody from the Western Tradition) when did poetry become the exclusive province of buttercup twirlers and ne'er do well dilettantes and the subject of snickers from Gradgrind conservatives? Poetry has sustained men going to valiant death in battle and held countless bodies and souls together, as well as sustaining ordinary people like daily bread. It has given to us words to express what the Wall Street Journal or the Limbaugh Letter or (pardon Rod) National Review could not come within light years of speaking. So why has it received such studied neglect from people who are serious about conserving the best of the human race?
It is, I think, extremely significant that there was such an outburst of poetry after 9/11 among Americans. There are emotional heights and depths which only poetry or music can reach. If you are serious about preserving the human legacy reflect for a moment on the fact that the earliest writings we have are poetic. Poetry is not a "development" from prose. It is the other way round. Music is a sort of cooled version of the molten joy of trinitarian ecstasy that made the world. Poetry is language attempting to be music and prose is at its best, only ossified poetry.
And another thing: not all poetry has to be grim and serious. Here for example is US Poet Laureate (yes, we have one) Billy Collins' delightful "Forgetfulness".

EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich believes that the success of Dead Rising 2 downloadable prequel Dead Rising: Case Zero could lead to pre-release DLC becoming a standard for AAA games.
Capcom launched the Xbox 360 exclusive DLC at the end of August, almost a month before Dead Rising 2 released. Available for 400 MS Points (£3.43), it was downloaded nearly 500,000 times in just two weeks.
"It's the most dynamic sales weapon we have ever had in our arsenal, giving us the equivalent exposure of a multi-million pound TV campaign," Capcom UK product manager Karl Reader told MCV.
And Divnich thinks it's a sign of things to come, telling IndustryGamers: "While many have proposed new ways to attract positive pre-release awareness to their titles, few risk diverging from the norm. I applaud Capcom for their innovation and continued focus on evolving the industry, and challenge the industry to build upon Capcom's strategy of pre-DLC.
"Much like post-DLC and how it was originally introduced as an option to developers, but later became a standard for all AAA titles, pre-DLC could very well join similar ranks," he added. "Or as they say in the fashion industry, Pre-DLC is the new Post-DLC."
Following Case Zero's success, Capcom announced plans to release Case West, an epilogue to Dead Rising 2.
Did you pick up Case Zero and did it influence your decision to buy Dead Rising 2?

#0726: Everything You Never Really Wanted to Know About Tom and Ray But Were Afraid Someone Would Ask
Original Air Date: 06.30.2007
This week on Car Talk, brace yourselves for another round of the Magliozzi Edition of "Too Much Information." In our first half, the brothers tackle such burning questions as, which one snorts? Does Tommy really have a PhD? And what's the deep dark secret behind Ray's Vermont-phobia? Then, it's on to Bradley, who's facing a costly repair - but since when does money matter, when smooth sailing with the in-laws is at risk? Got carbon? Kate sure does-- her Chevy Nova is filled to the gills with the stuff. Find out why her repair might require a search for a toothless, bald mechanic. Were Tom and Ray ever wedgied? In our second half, you'll hear the answer to this butt-wrenching question--and find out what happens when neglected wipers go whacko, and the possible causes of a squeal that started after a big repair. (Note: hosts reserve the right to resort to the Wheel of Misfortune.) Finally, hear the grim details of Tom and Ray's very first jobs- and their current hobbies. In closing, we ponder how its possible that one particular auto company still hasn't figured out AC after twenty years, and what would you do, if your mechanics went on a little road trip with your car. All that and more, this week on Car Talk.

Federal regulators shut down an Alabama-based trucking company after finding the carrier violated rules regarding hours-of-service rules, driver qualifications and vehicle maintenance.
BM&L Trucking and affiliated company IDM Transportation is the fourth motor carrier the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has shut down in the last four months for safety violations. Investigators found that BM&L didn't conduct pre-employment drug screenings of its drivers, and the carrier operated vehicles with serious mechanical defects.
"This case is an example of our resolve to raise the bar for commercial vehicle and roadway safety," said FMCSA Administrator Anne S. Ferro. "There is no place on our roads for commercial truck companies and drivers that do not make safety a top priority."
Investigators also found that BM&L Trucking didn't require drivers to "timely prepare and submit records of duty status," as required through HOS rules. This type of negligence can result in truck operators becoming fatigued because of excess driving, FMCSA said.
"When commercial truck companies and their drivers disregard the safety rules of the road, they place all motorists at risk," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "We will continue to exhaust every available tool to identify and swiftly shut down unsafe truck companies."
