The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/ROK/ECON/GV - Obama urges ratification of FTA with S. Korea

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 (Yonhap) -- U.S. President Barack Obama called for
Congress Monday to approve the outstanding free trade pact with South
Obama again took issue with the chronic imbalance in automobile trade
between the two nations.
"We've put together a package that is going to allow us to start
selling some Chevys and some Fords to Korea... we don't mind having
Hyundais and Kias here, but we want some 'Made in America' stuff in other
countries," he said at a town hall-style meeting in Minnesota. "That's
something that Congress could do right now."
The president started a three-day bus tour to Minnesota, Iowa and
Illinois in an apparent bid to turn around his sagging popularity.
Congress returns on Sept. 6 after a summer break.
South Korea sends more than 400,000 vehicles, mostly Hyundais and Kias,
to the United States each year and produces about 200,000 others at U.S.
plants. The U.S. exports fewer than 10,000 vehicles to South Korea,
according to official data.
Separately speaking to a group of lawmakers, U.S. Trade Representative
Ron Kirk said passing the free trade agreement (FTA) with South Korea is
one of the most important goals for the administration.
"Among the top priorities on the president's jobs agenda is to pass our
pending trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama, as well as
to renew Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)," he said in a meeting with the
Congressional Black Caucus, an organization representing the black members
of Congress, last week.
TAA, designed to help workers adversely affected by trade, has been a
sticking point in efforts to ratify the FTAs.
The administration hopes to renew TAA along with the passage of the
FTAs, but Republican lawmakers, disenchanted with the US$1-billion-a-year
program, demand a separate approach.
Obama plans to submit the FTAs to Congress only when he is confident
that both the FTAs and the renewal of TAA are guaranteed, according to
Republican members of Congress have urged Obama to immediately send the
FTAs without political considerations.
They emphasize that other nations are already gaining foreign trade
South Korea's FTA with the European Union took into effect in July.
Canada and Colombia put their FTA into effect on Monday.
"I urgently call on the president to send the job-creating trade
agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea to Congress without
further delay," Dave Camp (R-MI), chairman of the House Ways and Means
Committee, said in a statement.
Trade Subcommittee Chairman Keven Brady (R-TX) also said, "Because of
inexcusable delay in Washington by those who fail to understand this
fundamental fact, American workers and exporters now face the prospect of
falling even further behind."

noun \thē-ˈä-də-sē\ plural the·od·i·cies
Definition of THEODICY
: defense of God's goodness and omnipotence in view of the existence of evil
Origin of THEODICY
modification of French théodicée, from théo- the- (from Latin theo-) + Greek dikē judgment, right — more at diction
First Known Use: 1797
Other Philosophy Terms
Rhymes with THEODICY
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Argument for the justification of God, concerned with reconciling God's goodness and justice with the observable facts of evil and suffering in the world. Most such arguments are a necessary component of theism. Under polytheism, the problem is solved by attributing evil to a conflict of wills between deities. The solution is less simple in monotheism, and it can take several forms. In some approaches, the perfect world created by God was spoiled by human disobedience or sin. In others, God withdrew after creating the world, which then fell into decay.

In the US and the UK it is possible to buy boxes of ladybirds, lacewings and other beneficial insects to release into your garden or greenhouse. I have not been able to find a supplier in New Zealand. Does anyone know if it is possible to buy these things here? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you're in Canterbury - ask at your regional council in the weed control section. They usually have contact with the bio-control agencies and may directly know of someone who is working in this area. Another possible is your local branch of Tree Crops, the Soil Association, and your Biodynamic producers - probably more the latter two. You might be able to check with whatever MAF has morphed into to see if there's a Biodynamic field officer in your area you could contact direct -even if you aren't interested in that method overall. |
- Posted by missindepedy NZ (My Page) on Mon, Feb 17, 14 at 3:34
Also try Massey University which may not actually supply, but will know where you can buy them. Another option - see if bug man Ruud Kleinpaaste (sp?) is on Twitter or Facebook, and post a message asking him. And when you have an answer, please share here? I'm after Steel Blue Ladybugs, as they are predators specific to citrus trees. Thanks |
these are all quite old messages, but if anyone is interested in buying beneficial garden bugs in nz go here http://www.bioforce.co.nz/ they don't have steel blue ladybugs, but do have dusky ladybugs among other things. postage is quick too |

Russian tuners from TopCar have unveiled their latest tuning project, the Porsche Cayenne 2 which comes with three different packages. The packages were dubbed Advantage 2, Vantage GTR2 and Vantage 2 with the first two being limited to just 25 units.
The Topcar Porsche Cayenne Advantage 2 features a new aerodynamics package that consists of new front and rear bumpers, a new bonnet, new side skirts, larger wheel arches and a wide rear diffuser. This package also comes with headlights from the 911.
The Vantage GTR2 package features similar styling upgrades as the Advantage 2 package but it keeps its original headlights and also has a slightly different front bumper with some wide air intakes. The Vantage 2 package will be unlimited and will also feature a couple of aerodynamic changes with new styling parts from carbon fiber and Kevlar.
Engineers from TopCar also made some magic under the hood and they managed to tweak the engine from the Porsche Cayenne and increased its power by over 35%. All Topcar Porsche Cayenne 2 models will now have 750 HP to play with and all cars will also get new side mirrors, LED daytime running lights and a new set of forged wheels.

Millworkman, thank you very much for your help. Yes, I was speaking of moulded doors. I am also choosing door levers, and I like the Baldwin which is sturdy and looks nice. Would Baldwin levers look too heavy duty for my 30" interior door and one 26" closet door? I will use Schlage push button private levers for bathrooms. Any input or sharing of experience is greatly appreciated. |

My name is Hunter!
Facts about Hunter
- Breed: Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Hunter's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Hi, my name is Hunter and I am a handsome, middle aged guy who weighs 8 lbs and I am a love bug. I follow my foster mom around the kitchen and the yard. When I am not capturing all my toys, I love to lie in my doggy bed and take a nap on my own. I have lots of love to give. I will follow you where ever you go and enjoy being showered with love and treats. I sit like a good boy to get my hair combed, no growling or nipping here! I even roll over for a belly rub. I like to chase the ball but I have an interest in cats. My foster mom has made all these cool ways that the cats are out of my reach and I am learning respect for kitties. If you want a calm but playful lap dog and love bug, ask for me on your application....Love, Hunter 071212-1

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Hunter, a Gilbert Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier for sale in Gilbert, or seeking a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog from a breeder in Gilbert.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gilbert 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 Gilbert 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 Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier breeders who help with Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gilbert paves the way for another one to be saved.

From 6:00pm to around 11pm. Just arrive when you like and you may also bring other African / Caribbean friends.
An area has been reserved for iCAN upstairs in the mezzanine area. You will be able to purchase your own food and drinks in the bar down stairs.

Potential Impact of DSM-5 Criteria on Autism Spectrum Disorder Prevalence Estimates
JAMA Psychiatry
Date Published:
January 22, 2013
Researchers found that estimates of the number of children with ASD might be lower using the current DSM-5 criteria than using the previous criteria. This study looked at information collected by CDC's Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network. This is the first population-based study in the United States to look at what effect the updated ASD criteria in the DSM-5 might have on estimates of the number of children with ASD. One of the advantages of the ADDM Network method is that it does not rely solely on the presence of an ASD diagnosis, but also includes review of records for children who have behaviors consistent with ASDs, even if they do not have a diagnosis. Because of the way the ADDM Network collects data, in the future CDC will be able to use both the previous DSM-IV-TR and the current DSM-5 criteria to estimate the number of children with ASD. CDC will also continue to evaluate the effect of using the DSM-5 on trends in how doctors and other health professionals diagnose ASD and how service providers evaluate and document symptoms as they transition to using the new criteria.

Online gambling site Paddypower.com refunds Pacquiao wagers
By Cecilio's Scribe on Jun 11, 2012 with Comments 0
Timothy Bradley won a split decision Saturday night against Manny Pacquiao. I didn't watch the fight, but only caught the highlights and replays. That said, you don't have to be a boxing aficionado to realize that this outcome smells like sh*t. The result has been universally scoffed at by pundits, promoters and pretty much everyone who watched the fight. Even Bradley questioned whether he'd earned the victory saying he'd have to go home and watch the tape to see if he'd won. Always a good sign…
Well, at least one online gambling site is not allowing the rotten stench of the stinker to linger — even with their bettors who lost on the fight. Paddypower.com, an Irish site, is refunding Pacquiao bets. It seems they don't feel the decision was just and aren't comfortable taking their users' money on a bogus bout. In what they call a "Justice Payout," Paddy Power's blog breaks down the details:
It was a result that stunned the world, even by modern professional boxing standards.
Last night in Las Vegas the brilliant Filipino Manny Pacquiao lost his WBO welterweight belt to Timothy Bradley in a controversial split-decision defeat.
With that Paddy Power has rolled out one of our famous Justice Payouts. If you had placed a bet on Manny to win in a pre-fight outright or on points, that money is now back in your account. We Hear You!
It's nice to see. While corruption may reign supreme in professional boxing, it's comforting to know we can turn to a few last bastions of moral conscience – like online gambling sites. If nothing else, a great PR move by the folks at Paddypower.com. Well played, gents.

The first hellebore was in bloom on the 10th of januari, and now all my plants (about 30) are in fulle bloom for about 1 or 2 weeks. We had a mild winter this year. |
the north side of the house still has some snow. My south side is open to the sun in winter and spring. Most of hellebores are on the south side. like I said only the largest have visible flower buds. This is will be my first spring with hellebores. I tried buying the biggest ones I could find. Near the end of summer last year I picked up large plants at $4.00 each from some nurseries that cater to "Martha Stewart" gardeners. The plants had no ID and no one at the place knew what variety the pants were. I knew they were and snatched them! |

Not to make anyone in colder climes feel bad, but mine are also in full bloom right now including a new (last season) double pink. Was doing a bit of clean up yesterday and noticed a whole batch of seedlings that germinated over the winter. They are at the base of my slate black x hybridus, so I am hoping at least a few will come true to that hard-to-find color. |
gardengal, I was resisting making anyone feel badly by posting from our milder climate... My foetidus Sienna has been in bloom for 3 months and still going strong, flawless. Including two self sown seedlings that I lifted at about 2" tall in May 2002 and planted next door; had not expected blossoms on those until next year. Heronswood Purple and Heronswood Yellow have been blooming for a month, very pretty this year. Those photos from Z5 give new meaning to evergreen, don't they...And I'm finding a lot of new shoots on the seedlings I planted last Fall at about 7 months old, foliage of course, but the plants certainly seem happy and full of promise for seasons to come..... |
I'm seeing about the same thing that Bruce is except that enough snow melted yesterday that I pulled some aside and saw buds crowning. I'll cross my fingers for gardengal that her baby hellies are the color she wants. |

We've been mild here as well and have had blooms since before Christmas. Everything is pretty much at full blast since the beginning of Feb, as they keep the snowdrops and aconites company. The fairly frequent -3C we've had have dropped the Hellebore stems and heads to touch the ground overnight, recovering repeately each day. What a great time of year....hurry on the Trilliums and the wood anemones! Cheers Greenmanplants. |

My older hellebores have buds, and I was surprised to find two large buds on the "Blue Lady" I planted late last fall. Can't wait for their debut! Blue Lady is growing four feet from a large ash I just had removed, so I was especially glad to see it. (A number of other things were destroyed when the tree came out.) |
I'm in Hellebore heaven right now! Go see my recent pics on the Gallery forum. We're on Year Two with Bruce and Mary's seeds. Can't wait to see the end result in a couple more years! I've also found soooo many self sown babies in the garden from my plants. Soon, I'll have nothing but Hellebores! They're taking over!!! :) I just acquired some beauties from my buddy Kellie (who works at Heronswood). Some nice Anemones and Doubles. I need to learn more about hybridizing. Can't wait till you Eastern folks start to have bloom! I want pictures! |

Now mid-november 2004 the first H. Hybrides is in full bloom and in many others already I can see the buds coming up. Even in my own private nursery, that lies on the north side of the house, most of the H.Hybrides seedlings of 2002 show buds |

Wow - how wonderful! Do you have any photos to share? I would love to see them ;-) It surprises me that my Hellebores have buds too - I think it's so early. Normally they start in January. |
I have TONS of germinated/ing seeds now-BUT WE ARE GETTING SNOW FLURRIES!!!! |

This is a quote from TresSugar, but I read about the show last night in The New Yorker. I'm not tempted to go.
I'm very excited that I'm going to be in New York soon to see Beijing-based artist Song Dong's installation Waste Not at the Museum of Modern Art. With his mother's collaboration, the artist gathered 50 years worth of objects (some useful, some puzzling) that she collected in the spirit of the Cultural Revolution's version of "waste not, want not." The installation includes a portion of the family's Beijing home that was reassembled and installed in the MoMA's atrium, along with chipped plates, bottles without caps, and other items which "form a miniature cityscape that viewers can navigate around and through." |

Song Dong's mother was a product of a socio-political indoctrination. There wasn't a facet of life Mao didn't have a finger on, including believing life's detritus served a purpose. She wasn't given the option of throwing things away until the Cultural Revolution was deemed unnecessary. Frankly, I don't see much difference in this type of installation than I see in the the scrap yard artists welding together cast off car parts and other metal objects. To carry it even further - not too much different, really, than the creations on the Garden Junk Forum - the chipped plates and pottery shards and all the other broken bits and pieces of someone's life carefully accumulated and glued on a bowling ball. |

Actually, when I pick up a copy of Country Living or similar magazine, which I confess I like, I frequently see spreads on what I'm figuring out is hoarding as art. I'm seduced by artful shelves of 50 whatsits or 40 white ironstone platters ("I use them in my daily cooking, I do!")and of course there is an "art" and design element of arranging such things in the home (or now, even outside the house). But I learned I'm susceptible to the pull of these arrangements, of wanting to collect things that seem so nifty, seems to define my personal decorating style, seems irresistable, but ultimately is just one more lead weight--there's just not enought TIME to collect and care for it. And then it's back to wanting empty space and clear table tops. It's the cycle of life, I guess. |

GaryFebruary 2000 |
Dearest Oasis Readers!
Hi, my name is Gary and I reside in central PA! It's really not THAT bad. Anywho, I hope your new year/millennium has started off with an absolute BANG. Well, let the column begin!
First of all, I've had some problems at school lately. Just a bunch of jock/arrogant guys saying crap to me in lunch and in the halls. Usually bigoted comments like this don't phase me, but compiled with other circumstances I've spent some moments frustrated and crying. Sometimes, life just isn't fair for a fag in central Pennsylvania.
I'm sure everyone can relate in some fashion. With this backlash upon me, I've spent a lot of time lately pondering about "gay" issues. Why did I choose to come out? Why do I choose to put myself through this crap? Is the gay community making POSITIVE strides and is it in all actuality worth it? (btw, I've read articles from Oasis where the writers are very critical of the word community. Babezz, we ARE a community~admitted or not) After a lot of thought though, I reached some monumental conclusions. First of all, even though I get occasional grief and hostility from fellow "classmates," I'm honestly glad I chose to come out. The only word I could come up with was =sacrifice=. Openly gay high school students put their ass on the line everyday. We owe our political and social victories to those who sacrifice daily. It's a part of the process, I suppose. Although unfortunate, it's a sad reality that others and I face daily.
Secondly, I met this kid from my area. He was nice, cute, all the "good" things I guess. And although he was closeted, I tried to maintain a friendship. Usually I try to keep my distance from closet cases because USUALLY they're a waste of my time. But honestly, I felt drawn to him in friendship. I am aware of the difficulty that some individuals go through and if he needed a friend, I wanted to be there for him. Ya know? Anyway, we were talking one night and I was asking him some personal questions. Not questions about sex or anything perverted, but about his choice to remain closeted. And his answer scared me, but in another sense made me think and opened up so many VENTING doors. This boy told me that he didn't want his friends to think differently of him, he was scared that they would make fun, he was scared that he would be known as the "gay."
I asked him, what is a "gay"? He replied something to the extent of limp wrist, heavy lisps, and just stereotypes like that. I'm not the manliest man out there, I am not RuPaul either, but unfortunately I took offense to his words. I then asked him, why would do people think limp wrists when they think gay? He theorized that flaming fags (to use his vocab) make it a point to flaunt their sexual preference and all adversity that is thrown to the gay community lies on the shoulders of out ones. The same *out* ones that have struggled, clawed, and fought for their rights. I mean that in a positive way of course. *kiss* Anywho... Flabbergasted, I swallowed my pride and kept my trap shut. As I thought about our fateful conversation, I reached yet another monumental conclusion. THE REASON WHY PEOPLE ASSOCIATE GAYS WITH THE FLAMBOYANT STEREOTYPES IS.*drum roll pllleeeeezeee* us "flamers" are the only ones totally out and honest with people. I mean, of course there are others but the majority of the openly gay community is feminine men. How many masculine guys do you see chewing some kid out for saying fag? I know~ I know~ there are some of you and I applaud you guys totally. But, in my opinion I dont think enough. I think people should STOP hooking up, throw out the cheeeezy one nite stands, and become at least knowledgable of your situation. Gawd! Excuse me guys, I'm venting,
Anyway, back to my "closeted" friend. After we talked about this I had to lighten the mood, so I asked him about political issues. And of course we discussed gay marriage. He was very outgoing in his opinion that gays should be allow to serve in the military, and of course being legally married. I, of course, agreed totally with him, but ironically in a sense I resented him for his views. First of all, here was a closet case that wasn't even willing to tell his BEST friend that he was gay, let alone cry for equality. Uckk! How the hell can he debate gay issues when he's not MAN enough to admit his sexuality to others? Ironic huh? (and they are the MANLY ones) ha!!!!!. Does that say something? Call me stupid someone! He doesn't really know the feelings and consequences of being gay. And sadly enough, there are thousands out there like him. It bursts my bubble that I'm taking abuse from society, while some hooch gets the best of both worlds. You face obstacles and challenges everyday that nobody experiences or understands unless you trudge through them yourself. I became frustrated and really depressed after all this. Gay people who are indecisive and spineless, in all actuality come back and haunt us. They are the ones you see thanking God for making them heterosexual. *rolls eyes* They are the ones who are sleeping around, causing havoc in our world and in our "quest" for equality. Although it sounds like an episode of he-man or something, it's actually very frightening! Maybe I'm hoping for a miracle. Maybe these words have already been said, maybe my dream has been long dreamt. But, let's nurture within ourselves and within our community. Before we can expect society to look at us equally, society should see the ENTIRE gay population. Just not a few here and there. There are different kinds of gay people, some people don't understand that. Its up to individuals to make that difficult but attainable transition within society.
I watched an interview w/ Bill Clinton and he was discussing homosexuality and gains homosexuals have made under his administration. His reasoning for all the gradual movement, was the fact that gays are coming out. People are starting to run into gays in the workplace, at school, in all aspects of society. People finally think individuals when they think gay, not a whole stereotypical image that surrounds homosexuality. People are dealing with the consequences, and being proud. In light of such actions, we are making vital strides in our various quests. If EVERYONE comes together, our results will be ten times as better(maybe more). Maybe I'm just a naive kid from PA, who doesn't have a firm grasp on so called reality. Nevertheless, I'm venting my frustrations on you people. All of this poop just makes me heave my Christmas cookies guyz! ~which were FAB btw~
~~thats my whole point in this seemingly endless blabber. Everyone come out for heavens sake!! There are few circumstances that should hold a person from coming out. This is the only way guyz. Remember sacrifice?? Trust me, there will be a lot of pain, crying, and possibly rejection. But how can you live a lie? Even if someone is totally rejected, our "community" should play a supportive role. Is rejection from people that must not care THAT horrible? Be realistic, and for God's sake be true to yourself. Remember that its YOUR life! Aye yae yae! My mother and I don't really talk, and my father disowns me because of my preference. Yet, through all of this crap, I am positive I made the RIGHT choice by coming out. If another teen comes out in my school their situation will be BETTER because of MY sacrifices. That, in my opinion make the comments, rejection, and tears I have shed, WELL worth it. Save your excuses, the depressing stories. are we going to overcome the challenges we face in 2000, or are we going to be overcome by our own kind? Thousands upon thousands conquer everyday, are you? Peace Guyzz
One a HAPPIER note! I got my acceptance letters for college! Rah! Rah! Rah! Is anyone else thinking about IUP or Point Park? Well, have a GREAT January! Please email me! firstname.lastname@example.com
Or IM me! Tobii99
Lotz of Love!
PS~I am truly sorry if I have offended anyone. Like captain planet saysTHE POWER IS YOURS! how awesome was that show? *Muuah* bye yas

Hello all!
I am new to this site. I am a preschool teacher in Paramus NJ who is raising monarch butterflies in my classroom. I have a possible problem with one of my milkweed plants. Before I offer any of the leaves to the caterpillars I wanted to find out if this problem is detrimental to the "cats"... There are little brown balls resembling seeds all over the plant. What is this? Any insight would be of enormous help. Thank you all ~Hope |

The only problem I have with milkweed is oleander aphids. A picture might help, or try posting on the Butterfly and/or Pest forum. I have Asclepias plants and seedlings, and no pests yet ;) |

Thank You for your response Tracey! I posted my question in the butterfly forum first... But I could not resist a forum full of Jersey Girls (and guys presumably lol) I read in your profile that you are attracting hummers. I am sure you already have these.. but just in case.. Huechera Purple Palace are hummer magnets in my garden. I also find that they love my privet bushes when they are in bloom. So glad I had a bug problem on my milkweed. This is a wonderful web site.

Hi Hope! I've been here for years, and it's got to be the only website that I faithfully view daily. I'm wondering if I have a Purple Palace; aw, what the heck, I can always purchase another ;) I did see a hummer on Mothers Day, at 7:40pm! I thought it was a leaf blowing around in the wind, until I got a really good look. I haven't seen it since :( Since I saw my first in July last year, when everything was blooming, I'll assume that's when I'll see them again. I've been working in Paramus now for 2 months. Too many geese! Hope to see you around alot more! |

Hi Tracey! I haven't seen any of the little guys yet. They usually buzz my husband while he is sitting on the porch to let him know.. :"We're backkkkkkkkkkkkkkk." Here is a really cool Hummer link you may be interested in. Journey North is an awesome internet based project related to seasonal change and migration .My class participates in the Monarch and Symbolic Migration project..but this whole web site is really awesome!You don't have to part of a school group to appreciate it. |

My daughter's pre-K class had just gotten some Painted Lady caterpillars. I was hoping they'd have Monarchs, since I would be able to provide them with plenty of pesticide free Asclepias. I've never had a cat yet, but I had finally just expanded my varieties of Asclepias from just tuberosa last year. One of these years I'll get over to Van Saun for their Butterfly Exhibit. I know you work in Paramus (so do I!), but do you live there as well? I haven't met or heard of alot of people in Bergen County that actually have or had hummers. I was surprised when I went to Wild Birds Unlimited, to purchase a feeder, that they didn't even ask... |
- Posted by farfalla_nj 6 (My Page) on Thu, May 12, 05 at 16:55
We have both painted ladies and Monarchs in our classroom. The Educational supply company I used sent the milkweed plant....but it is really buggy and gummed up with aphids and aphid mummies from that aphid wasp parasite I learned about in the butterfly forum. (It's really wild looking at those under the microscope!) It is good that the plant is pesticide free, but I spent the day washing it down because it seemed very sticky and gummy. (I wouldn't want it in MY salad.lol! :S.) My school is in Paramus.. I live in NW NJ. I haven't put out hummer feeders at school because I am off in the summer and do not want to start a feeding program that I can not adhere to. We have seen them in past years, though! My friend lives in Paramus and she says she does get hummers. So think positive! |

I love it when the Pats run the no-huddle. Do you think we didn't run the no-huddle as much as we would have liked last year due to our lack of defense in an effort to better control the clock? Given a hopefully much improved unit, do you think we will get back to more no-huddle? Also, I think all Pats fans are really going to miss having Matt Light as part of our OL. I love [Sebastian] Vollmer and [Nate] Solder as our bookends, but have concerns about Vollmer staying healthy. Do you think [Marcus] Cannon will be able to step in and produce as a starting tackle should Vollmer get hurt again? Thanks.
Mike Anderson
No, the Patriots' decision to employ or eschew the no-huddle attack has nothing to do with New England's defense. I wrote a detailed analysis of the team's no-huddle offense around mid-season last year and, in it, discovered that the team scored two-thirds of the time when they went no-huddle (which was about a third of the time). They huddled two-thirds of the time, but scored just once every three drives from the slowed-down tempo. So, I asked Bill Belichick and
Their responses were revealing. Essentially, they said operating without a huddle is advantageous only when going up against defensive personnel who aren't equipped to match up with the players the Patriots have on the field. The disadvantage, from New England's standpoint, is that they can't substitute when they're not huddling. This limits the number of plays they can run with the personnel they have out there.
For instance, if the Patriots have their third-down back on the field with three receivers and one tight end, that personnel package isn't always the desired one for goal-line situations, when a "heavy" package is more likely to succeed. So, no matter what improvements the Patriots make to their 2011 league-worst defense this year, they will have no effect on the offensive play calling.
Now, the lack of Light's steady presence is surely a loss for New England's o-line, but I have little doubt about Solder's ability to step in and perform. For one, he's far more prepared for the role than Light was when he was handed the job as a rookie in 2001. Secondly, Solder is a more talented player and could potentially be better than Light ever was.
However, I share your concerns about Vollmer's health, which puts the right tackle position up for grabs. Cannon, it would seem, would be the frontrunner to replace Vollmer, if he can't go, but you could see competition for that role from any number of young players on the roster, such as
Erik Scalavino
With Tom Brady reaching the end of his career, do you think the Patriots will choose to develop their young quarterback
Todd August
Well, I'll admit, I thought New England found it's QB of the future in the third round … of the 2008 draft, when they selected Kevin O'Connell from San Diego State. And that's the difference between Rodgers and Mallett. The former was a first-round pick, the latter a third, like O'Connell.
I'm not saying a third-round quarterback can't succeed in the NFL (heck, Joe Montana was one), and we all know where Brady was selected. But look around the league and find the elite quarterbacks, or at least the upper echelon ones, other than Brady: both Mannings, Drew Brees, Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Joe Flacco, Philip Rivers. All but Brees were selected in the first round, and Brees was a high second-rounder.
Look at some of the up-and-coming stars at the position: Cam Newton, Andy Dalton, Sam Bradford, Christian Ponder … first-rounders all, with the exception of Dalton, who, like Brees, was a high second. Matt Schaub of Houston is the best current example of a QB drafted in the third round who became a bona fide starter.
Again, this isn't to suggest that Mallett can't become one, but he was inactive all last year, so, we still don't know what he can do at the NFL level. If Mallett is again in the third-string role this year, it will be difficult to project him as the heir apparent to Brady. He needs to start showing something this summer if he hopes to be included in that conversation.
Erik Scalavino
I feel that
Ronald Osborne
Edelman was a nice surprise last year, pulling triple duty as a receiver, returner, and part-time defensive back. In case you didn't notice, though, Ronald, New England's secondary was appalling. It cannot continue to operate with a patchwork unit of hybrid players, be it Edelman,
Edelman's likely not going to contribute much as a receiver this season, unless catastrophe befalls the overstocked roster at that position. His best chance of making the team is as a kick/punt return specialist, a role which he has grown into rather nicely. Let's leave the cornerbacking responsibilities to those players who make it their day job. That's the only hope this team has of improving at that spot.
Erik Scalavino
What differences do you think Josh McDaniels will bring to the Pats offense that we didn't have last year? Josh will hopefully have more to work with from a WR standpoint, but from a play-calling aspect, what can we expect in contrast to Bill O'Brien (who left me scratching my head in certain situations).
Wano Yee
One thing McDaniels loved to use when he was here the first time was the screen pass. We haven't seen many of those in Foxborough since he left, but I suspect now that he's back, they'll turn up more frequently.
Erik Scalavino
With so many wide receivers on the roster right now, it's quite a competition. Can you see all of them making it or maybe one or two cuts? How about a Welker trade? Not that I'm hoping or expecting it, but think is a possibility. Also, do you feel a sense of excitement going forward this season about the defense? With the additions through the draft and FA this year, AND the potential of players coming back from injury, I sincerely think they could be a dominant unit.
Shane C.
There are nearly a dozen players on the roster right now (including rookies and special teams captain Matthew Slater, who's not really a receiver), so, um, yeah, I see more than one or two cuts. In all likelihood, only six will make the 53-man roster, and I'm excited to see the competition play out at this position more than any other. I wouldn't rule out a trade of Welker, either, but my gut tells me he'll be a Patriots again, at least for one more season.
Excitement isn't the term I'd use to describe my feelings about the defense. Cautious optimism is a more apt description. The additions you cited are intriguing, certainly, and add depth in the free agent cases, but it remains to be seen if any of the rookies are legitimate playmakers. As for the players returning from injury, I have little faith in
Erik Scalavino
Where do you see
Joseph Boyd
Dennard will get a chance to compete for playing time. Were it not for his arrest last month, he would have been taken on day two of the draft. He's a good player and that position desperately needs guys who can play.
Erik Scalavino
Greetings from across the pond (Austria). I've been following you guys for more than two years now – keep up the good work! My question: How do you feel about
Philipp Schemeth
We're big fans on Ninko, too, here at PFW. He's a great guy off the field, and a tough, hard-working, overachiever on it. I wouldn't exactly dub him "an impact player," as you did, but he's solid in all areas, dependable, and once in a while, makes some big plays. He's exactly the kind of player every team needs at least one of, but ideally, he'd be best served as a situational role player, not an every-down one.
That said, even with the drafting of
Erik Scalavino
Since we got
Kyle Rodgers
As I just mentioned above, Ninko is an OLB, so you can remove him from the discussion of inside guys. But your question is still valid. Carpenter faces an uphill battle to make the roster, for sure. Now, unless Carpenter blows everyone away once the pads are on in training camp, his best chance, it would seem, would be to compete with Fletcher, but even then, the latter has the edge. I'm interested, though, to see what, if anything, Carpenter can bring to this defense.
Erik Scalavino
In terms of jersey numbers, no one currently has 99 so, all being well, is it likely Chandler Jones will wear the number he sported at Syracuse? As Dont'a Hightower, as a linebacker, can't wear the number 13 jersey he had at Alabama, I guess he'll just take whatever is assigned by the coaches. I know this is an extra question, but do you see any of the captains changing from the 2011 to 2012 season?

Jones was sporting jersey number 95 during rookie mini-camp this past weekend. He told us on PFW in Progress that he wanted 99, but then, a few days later, veteran Trevor Scott said the same thing. Looks like the vet won out. Hightower, meantime, is wearing 45, but that will change once he officially makes the 53-man roster. In all likelihood, he'll be given a number in the 50s, or, if none is available, in the 90s.
Last year, there were a half-dozen captains: Tom Brady,
McCourty is the only one I could see not being re-elected, based on the tumble he took in his performance on the field in 2011. He's a fine young man and seemed to do a capable job as a captain, but he could be supplanted by someone like

Endowment Market Value
Over the past three years, endowment market value has grown by 32 percent, starting at $665 million and increasing to $874 million in 2006-2007. This growth in endowment market value included $134 million in new endowment gifts over the three-year period.
In 2006-2007, donors contributed $51 million in new gifts toward endowments. Collectively, CSU institutions distributed $34 million from endowment in support of the university�s students, faculty and programs.
Investment returns accounted for 15.48 percent of the annual growth in market value. Currently, each of the 23 CSU campuses and the Office of the Chancellor individually manage endowment funds.
The chart compares the average investment return for CSU campus endowments within the indicated asset ranges to similarly sized endowments at universities across the nation. The source of the national data is the 2007 National Association of College and University Business Officers Endowment Survey comprised of data from 793 public and private universities.

Joe McKnight Tweets Jets Nation after being Released on Monday
Posted by Erik Manassy on Aug 26, 2013 in Breaking, Main, Opinion, Player Tweets | 0 comments
The New York Jets announced this morning that they have realeased 14 players including RB / Kick Returner Joe McKnight. The troubled player took to twitter to voice his opinions about the move.
Joejetlife BACK TO STEP ONE 8/26/13 9:40 AM |
I am not surprised by the move too much. I mean he has been making news for all the reasons without being productive on the field. I know that a head injury is nothing to joke about, but I think he had a lot more in play that just that one incident.
- Joe had failed conditioning tests in the past as well as this year.
- He suffered migraines.
- He had been arrested due to parking tickets.
- He had a poor relationship with the media which made him look like difficult to work with.
- He handed the media the "Media Bridge Cards", although this probably wasn't the reason he was cut but maybe the icing on the cake.
DWAZ73 McKnight told me last wk: "I have to get on the field this week, these next two games, and then prove something." Never made it into game. 8/26/13 8:13 AM |
Joe is a talented athlete but I don't think he ever could get it together mentally. It seemed from me that he struggled with the play book. There was no reason with that talent he should have been taking a more significant role in the offense. Used mostly on special teams, the Jets shouldn't have a problem replacing him on kick offs with Kyle Wislon and or Clyde Gates.
Maybe some other youngsters crack the lineup due to the vacancy left by McKnight. I do believe that Joe will catch on rather quickly though with another team to be a kick returner.

'R&B Divas L.A.' Episode 4 Recap: Is Kelly Price The Bad Guy?
2. Girl group women stick together.
You can tell that Claudette Ortiz and Dawn Robinson are on the road to a real friendship. It makes sense given they have a few things in common. They were in groups that earned crossover hits, but currently would have to cross the street if they spotted their band mates on the street. Plus that whole "Why aren't I the breakout solo superstar like Beyoncé?" issue each has to contend with. I can dig it.Meanwhile, I'd like to point out that this is the first episode in which I didn't look at Claudette speaking and say to myself, "That poor, poor woman. Bless her heart." I can't say the same for Dawn, though. In fact, from this day forward, I'll be referring to her as "Delicate Dawn." She speaks so softly and seems as thick-skinned as the Cowardly Lion. At the same time, towards the end of the episode, we got glimpses of her snippiness. No wonder Terry and Cindy don't fool with you, ma'am.

Please remove that fat lady Judge Chan from the panel, her opinions on the Super Idol 8 contestants are too much for them to bear! She expects them to sing like professionals, wont accept them singing in their own unique styles. She wants them to ape the professional singers! She even criticizes the 2 records producers whom they have groomed many successful singers and are more knowledgeable than her! Tell her to shut up and leave! Please bring back the former Judges, they are more professional and humourous….Cheers!
she was teacher to many now famous singers (s.h.e, cyndi wang, f.i.r, etc.), her harshness is not undue; the contestants have the possibility to become artistes in future and while a lot of them aren't likely to reach professional standard atm, she's pointing out their flaws starting now to prepare them for their future stage, give them a taste of what to expect. yes, they all have to establish their unique style but when they don't have certain technicalities down they won't be able to display that very well, and with the advice from her and the other judges they've shown significant improvement, haven't they?
Sing wrongly also can win?? Joke man!! Hahaha
Chen Shih-yu you deserved it. I am waiting for your first Album.
why no 20140608 version ??
why there is a repeat for 2014-08-31? 2014-09-014 supposed to be week 21.

With Instagram's New Profile Pages, We Bid Adieu to Webstagram
Today, Instagram announced a new feature called profile pages, a web-friendly way to browse the photo-sharing app. With this news, one of Betabeat's favorite websites is close to being rendered obsolete: Webstagram, the backdoor way to view Instagram profiles on the web.
Alas, poor Webstagram–we hardly knew ye. Sprung to plug a gap that even the Valencia filter couldn't fill, you gave us the gift of viewing Instagram on a normal-sized screen. The crick in our necks from hovering over our iPhones soon subsided, the headaches borne of squinting melted away. Now, we could browse photos of Kim K.'s cat planning its imminent suicide from the comfort of our laptops; we could witness Lena Dunham's haircut evolution without our thumbs getting tired.

The EU's greenhouse gas emissions from industry and power generation fell by 6 per cent last year, according to Point Carbon, the research group. Great news, right? Not really: it just shows that the easiest way to cut emissions is to batter the economy, and particularly the industrial sector.
Still, that does not mean the cuts are likely to be swiftly reversed.
The figures are Point Carbon estimates based on European Commission data, which are official but not yet complete. (Warning: the figures are not easy to read.) Other observers drew slightly different messages from the EU data, but the general picture is the same: overall emissions were significantly lower last year.
The full data will be released on May 15.
After falling steadily from last summer through to February of this year, EU carbon prices have recovered in recent weeks. However, they are still significantly below the level that is likely to be required to support investment in expensive low-carbon energy sources such as offshore wind and nuclear power, and particularly in carbon capture and storage. Germany on Wednesday became the first EU country to put a legal framework in place, but the financial framework is still missing.
The detail of the figures shows emissions from the cement, lime, glass, and pulp and paper industries all fell by 9 per cent last year. Spain, where the construction sector has slumped, saw a 6.8 per cent drop in its emissions.
The severity of the recession means demand for these products is unlikely to recover any time soon. And when it does, much of the capacity will have gone from Europe forever. When investment decisions are made about new cement and glass works, they are much more likely to be sited in Asia than in the EU. A loss of heavy industrial capacity means a loss of carbon emissions that will last forever.
That is likely to further inflame the tension between Europe and Asian economies, particularly China, which argue that a high proportion of their emissions are created by manufacturing goods exported to the West.
If China does not join a new post-Kyoto global emissions control agreement, then protests by carbon-intensive industries in Europe will grow. The pressure for carbon tariffs to penalise imports from China and other countries that do not put a price on CO2 emissions will be hard to resist.

The Men do not sleep. Next week, the Brooklyn scuzz-rock quartet will release New Moon, their third album in three years. Over the last two, they've gradually grown more melodic and accessible without losing the primal scrape of their early music, and on first listen, New Moon seems to continue the progressions. We've posted the early tracks "Electric" and "I Saw Her Face," and now you can hear the whole thing over at Pitchfork.
New Moon is out 3/5 on Sacred Bones.

My senior year spring break trip was not typical. It wasn't even well planned. But after making a last minute decision to apply for the Alternative Service Break Hurricane Sandy Relief trip, I later realized it was one of the best decisions I made in college.
With just a month's notice, I didn't give the trip much thought. Reality hit me when I stepped into a van with 12 strangers I would be spending an entire week with. The nine-hour drive from Raleigh to Atlantic City passed quickly with small talk as we went from being strangers to friends.
We spent our first full day in Atlantic City as typical tourists. We explored the boardwalk and shopped at outlet stores. Based on what I could see, this city was picture perfect. From the casinos to the never-ending rows of stores to the famous boardwalk, it did not look like it was suffering damage from Hurricane Sandy, which devastated the coastline in October 2012.
On our first work day, we were full of adrenaline and anxious to find out what we'd be doing. Our first work site was Louis' house, which appeared to be in good condition. But as we walked into the house, one by one, we were stunned into silence.
I was in awe at the damage I saw. We began to discuss the tasks at hand and begin to work. We were directed to clear out the rest of his belongings, which we were told was all trash. Who were we to decide what this man thought was important to keep and what really was trash?
As we started hammering down the dry wall and plaster, the reality that four feet of water once stood in Louis' house hit me. There was mold growing from the baseboards up the walls. As I carried a piece of moldy drywall to the side of the house, I overheard one of our chaperones explaining the purpose of our trip to a man outside. The man was in disbelief that college students would travel so far, and so long after the storm struck, to help voluntarily rebuild his city. "You're a van of angels," he said.
We returned the next day feeling more attached to the house than before. By the end of the day we had removed the bottom four feet of every wall. All that was left were exposed bricks, two huge piles of debris and some floor boards. This was the day we went from being friends to being family.
Instead of returning to Louis' house we spent the next day at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission warehouse. We were greeted by a few men and loud rock music. As I made my way up each level, it was clear there was an influx of donations, but not enough space or man power to organize it all.
We were given a simple task: move large boxes of pillows from one level to shelves on another level. What would've taken two men a few hours to finish, we were able to complete in 45 minutes with a human assembly line. Assembly lines became very popular that day as we learned to rely on team work and each other.
My body was starting to feel the toll of manual labor by the fourth day when we were sent to Lillian's house to help her pack her belongings. My first thought was, "Perfect, an easy day!"
We arrived at Lillian's house and found her sitting in a charming living room. As I walked from the front of the house to the kitchen, I could see the downward slope of the floor. The damage to the floor and foundation was not just from the hurricane; it had occurred over years and years.
I struggled with where to start and felt overwhelmed. As I helped organize the upstairs bedroom, which was now the storage room, I thought about Lillian. Thirteen strangers were in her home, packing up her life and some of her most prized possessions. I could not begin to imagine her feelings.
It turned out to be the most emotional day of the trip. We came across beautifully framed pictures. At a glance they appeared fine, but a closer look showed mold. I saw the pain in Lillian's eyes when she realized she had to let them go. As much as she longed to keep them, the mold would severely affect her health. Having to throw those pictures away and see Lillian's heart break was devastating.
To everyone's surprise, our last day in Atlantic City started with snow. We returned to the Rescue Mission, where the men at the warehouse were so grateful we returned. The day seemed to end quickly, and with it our service trip. I knew we would be heading south in the morning, but I just wasn't ready to leave.
In one week, my life changed. I learned a new meaning of friendship. I learned what it meant to serve someone. It was a truly an experience I will never forget.
Danielle Sullivan is a senior at NC State University. She will graduate in December.

Wow, what an inspiring and well written story :) thank you so much for sharing this!
"The man was in disbelief that college students would travel so far, and so long after the storm struck, to help voluntarily rebuild his city."
This was my favorite part.
It appears there IS bright hope for the next generation.

The Brooklyn Kitchen at Pure Kitchen
Foraging is gaining popularity in the food world. A growing number of menus feature hand-picked forest greens; wild-foraged mushrooms are delivered on your pizza; and your local gourmet grocer is selling freshly gathered seaweed. The rugged DIY appeal of foraging and the knowledge involved in the process can be fascinating to the discerning cook. What is the relationship between forager and chef? What does foraging teach about our natural environment? This discussion will highlight the collaboration of Chef Fredrik Berselius of Aska and forager Evan Strusinski. A show-and-tell format, our panelists will share some raw and cooked hand-gathered tastes of the season.

Some time ago I saw some very interesting posts for creating travelling rules inspired by The One Ring RPG. I think it was "Ralzar" who published them in the forums; in any case, I only wanted to say that my rules were inspired by those posts.
This is my travel mat:
And here are the cards I have created using Strange Eons for my travel house rules:
The rules are explained in the travel mat and they are similar to the ones originally published by Ralzar (again, I think it was him, so if the creator was someone else sorry for not giving the correct mention here). Here is a rules summary:
0. Prepare the mat placing the difficulty dice for that stretch of journey on the appropriate lines. These will serve as a reminder for the remainder of the journey.
1. The main roles are the Guide, the Leader and the Scout (s). The party decides on the roles.
2. The Guide is the one choosing the approximate direction of travel. He makes a Simple Folklore or Education check modified with Terrain and Knowledge conditions (some examples for possible conditions are given in the mat).
3. The Leader is the person deciding when to make pauses, who to help with the loads and trying to motivate the other party members. He makes an Average Discipline or Leadership check modified with party tension conditions (again, examples given in the mat).
4. The Scout(s) walk a bit ahead of the party, trying to find best paths to go in the direction chosen by the leader. He makes a Simple Coordination or Nature Lore check modified by Terrain and Weather conditions (examples in the mat).
5. With the results of these checks, a Journey Dice pool is assembled. This pool is used to make a Wilderness Journey check using the action card (I created it with Strange Eons). The results of this check indicates how many leagues the group will advance that day and the cost in Fatigue.
6. Each traveller must then take a Simple Travel Resilience check using Terrain, Weather and Temperature conditions using the action card I created with Strange Eons. My idea is that characters who did not have an active role would get 1 Fortune die as a bonus.
7. Optionally, there can be Hunter(s) and an Entertainer in the party (they have their own action cards that I also created with Strange Eons).
Encounters (I provide 12 examples or so in the card deck)
I prepare an encounter deck appropriate to the area being travelled. Then I pull one at the beginning of the day. If any of the Scouts obtains a Chaos Star, then the party will encounter that card. If at least one of the Scouts is successful, then they can avoid the encounter if they want to. Finally, if the Scouts don't have success in their checks but there is no Chaos Star rolled, then decide with a Luck check (2 Fortune + 2 Misfortune) in which conditions they'll encounter the card.
Well, as usual, explaining the rules in words seems much more complex than just doing them. I have tried it several times and it goes quite fast for the players. You only need some preparation as a GM, but not much (I'll publish an example below). At the moment I'm still tweaking the balance of the difficulties and actions, so feel free to adapt the cards to your style.

Heather Dubrow Takes the Ultimate Real Housewives Superfan Test
In addition to our game, Heather and I talked about this season of The Real Housewives of Orange County and about all the drama coming up. "I think of myself as being sort of a savvy person but I think in some ways I am naive and I'm very sensitive and I get my feelings hurt and there were definitely moments in this season where there were friendships that I really thought I had that I had to question," she told me. "Because, to me, someone who's your friend is always your friend, no matter what. People can irritate you, things happen, we all tick each other off from time to time, basically when you have a good friend that's a good person that supports you, that should be the baseline and I think I was just surprised that that's not always true."
Watch our full interview here:
You can see more of Heather, and the rest of the housewives, on The Real Housewives of Orange County on Monday nights on Bravo.

MWL: Rattlers use big inning to down Kernels
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- The Cedar Rapids Kernels fell 8-5 to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers at Perfect Game Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Thursday night. Wisconsin tallied five runs in the seventh inning to even the three-game series at 1-1. Michael Quesada went 3-for-4 from the box for the Kernels with two singles, a double, two RBIs and a run scored.
Mitch Garver got the Kernels on the scoreboard in the first after crushing an RBI-double to centerfield that brought J.D. Williams in for the 1-0 lead. The extra-base hit marked his team-best 13th double of the season.
Cedar Rapids struck again in the bottom of the second inning to take a 3-0 advantage. Engelb Vielma recorded an RBI-single that brought in Jason Kanzler. Michael Quesada scored on the same play on a throwing error by the Rattlers third baseman.
Wisconsin tallied their first run in the top of the fourth on an RBI-double by Taylor Brennan that cut the lead to 3-1.
The Timber Rattlers added two additional runs in the fifth to tie the game 3-3. Johnny Davis and Steven Halcomb came around to score off a two-out single by Jose Pena.
Kernels starter Ryan Eades exited the game after a five-inning stint where he allowed three runs, one earned, on four hits with four strikeouts and two walks.
Chris Mazza (0-1) made his second relief appearance of the season for Cedar Rapids beginning the sixth. Mazza finished after surrendering four runs on five hits in 1 1/3 innings of work.
Cedar Rapids regained the lead 5-3 in the bottom of the sixth when Michael Quesada drove in two runs on a two-out double to left-center field. Kanzler and Bryan Haar crossed the plate on Quesadas third hit of the game.
Jared Wilson entered on the mound in the seventh inning and exited from the game after 1 2/3 on the hill for the Kernels. Wilson allowed one run on three hits, one walk and three strikeouts in his short relief outing.
Wisconsin broke the game open 8-5 in the seventh by batting around the order and scoring five total runs. Brennan, Michael Ratterree and Francisco Castillo all recorded RBI-singles in the inning while Halcomb added a two-out double that scored two more runs.
Rattlers starting pitcher Taylor Williams (2-1) came out after six innings on the mound. The right-hander gave up five runs on eight hits while striking out three in his second-longest tenure this season.
Felix Jorge came on to pitch the ninth for the Kernels and walked one batter in his lone inning on the mound.
Left-hander Tyler Alexander entered in relief for Wisconsin beginning the seventh inning of play. Alexander picked up the save in his three scoreless innings of work where he only allowed one hit to accompany two strikeouts.
The Kernels finish the three-game series with Wisconsin on Friday night at 6:35 p.m. Its a 98.1 KHAK Mug Club night: Buy a 16 oz. collectors mug for $6.00 and get refills every Friday all year long for just $3.00. The first 1,000 fans through the gate will receive a Star Wars Night T-shirt. Kernels players will be wearing special Star Wars Storm Troopers jerseys to be auctioned off on the concourse in a silent auction during the game. All proceeds go to Tourette Syndrome Awareness.
RHP Ethan Mildren (0-3, 3.45) is scheduled to start Friday for the Kernels while Wisconsin is expected to open the game with RHP Barrett Astin (5-2, 3.64).

This year, as renovation work moves to the museum's interior spaces in preparation for the 2007 grand re-opening, the DIA's premier fundraising gala will be the Final Hard Hat Party that Rocks! Under the Stars® 2006 on November 11.
The 2005 Under the Stars was one of the most successful events held at the DIA. Event Chairs David and Jennifer Fischer continue to lead the march into the future, bringing creative and innovative ideas to make this year's event even better.
The Hard Hat Party that Rocks is an evening filled with art, entertainment, and food. Guests embark on tours of newly renovated museum spaces, enjoy a strolling dinner, and dancing in Rivera Court. They also have the opportunity to view the exhibition Annie Leibovitz: American Music. Under the Stars continues to generate critical support for the preservation of the DIA's priceless collection of art and for continuing renovations to the museum.
