Polar bond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, a polar bond is a type of covalent bond between two atoms or more in which electrons are shared unequally. The two atoms have a different electronegativity. So the bonding electrons are attracted to one nucleus a little more than to the other. Because of this, one end of the molecule has a slight, relative negative charge and the other a slight, relative positive charge. An example of atoms bonded by a polar bond is the water molecule (H2O), which is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atom in each bond.

Daybreak: The Dubai Mystery, Weirder Still
Plus Israel goes to California, Weiner on "chutzpah," and more in the news
• We learn that two of the suspected (and allegedly Mossad) assassins of Hamas's chief weapons man escaped to Iran after the killing. The Scroll will have more on the yet more bizarre mystery later in the day. [NYT]
• In public and private, the Obama administration tsk-tsked Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to landmark two Biblical sites in Israel-controlled West Bank. [AP/Haaretz]
• Israel has become crucial to California's Republican primary for the U.S. Senate, with candidate Tom Campbell's support for the Jewish state being questioned by two rivals. [LAT]
• Now that the New York Times has published a fairly damning story regarding New York Gov. David Paterson and his alleged intervention in a longtime aide's assault case, it's worth noting that the lieutenant governor—who would assume the job if Paterson leaves—is Richard Ravitch, a Jew. [NYT]
• Selma G. Hirsh, a longtime staffer and then official at the American Jewish Committee, died at 92. [AP/NYT]
• Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-New York) decries Republican health-care "chutzpah." It's really funny (and great, if you happen to agree with Weiner's analysis).


text:
You'll quickly notice a theme in this week's Sunday preview. No, not depression over the demise of Jelena. I've tried to suppress that, and carry on. Life, it's not easy.
Something else will become obvious quickly. The common theme is a Patriot, a charging Buffalo, and a fantasy. That's not a description of your dream last night in which you saved the scantily-clad damsel on the charging Buffalo ridden by a crazed Patriot.
Actually, what follows may be disappointing by comparison.
The top three most favorable matchups
1. Stevan Ridley vs. BUF: Yawns. So many yawns. Here's this week's tale of a run defense that's still just the worst, and a running back who's set to spit hot fire against said defense. Two weeks ago against a much better Rams front seven that's given up 54 fewer yards per game than the Bills, Ridley ran for 127 yards, 41 of which came on one play. He did that at a pace of 8.5 yards per carry too, while Buffalo is giving up 5.7 YPC. Grip and rip, Stevan.
2. A.J. Green vs. NYG: It just keeps getting easier. A.J. Green has eight receptions for 20 yards or more, and some easy arithmetic puts him on a pace of one per game by that deep ball metric. Well, Prince Amukamara/Corey Webster will be rather inviting, as they'll be the primary defenders tasked with slowing Green as he runs against a secondary giving up four +20 yard passes per game.
3. Wes Welker vs. BUF: I'm aware of the persistent heartache of the Bills fan. Sincerest apologies for thumbing the lemmings who play defense for your professional football team, but for fantasy purposes I'd be negligent if I didn't repeat a fantastic Welker stat here. Over the Patriots' last three games against the Bills, the slot dynamo has 397 receiving yards on 31 receptions. Yep, 31. Again, 31. Over three games, 31 receptions against the same team. 31.
The top three unfavorable matchups
1. Brandon Marshall vs. HOU: You're about to notice a another trend here: the Bears-Texans Sunday nighter will be the suckiest sucky game for wide receivers. Wade Phillips has already said that he intends to double team Marshall all the time every time, but even in single coverage Johnathan Joseph isn't exactly a nice fellow. Over the last two weeks during games against the Ravens and Bills, top receivers have finished with 65 and 41 yards.
2. Andre Johnson @ CHI: If only blissful nature would have cooperated to bring Charles Tillman's bundle of joy to this Earth one day earlier. Instead Tillman's baby is due Monday, meaning a shutdown corner who forced four fumbles last week and returned two interceptions for touchdowns will oppose a wide receiver who hasn't scored since Week 3.
3. Jamaal Charles @ PIT: I discussed Charles at length Thursday in ye ol' Tweetbag o' Questions, noting how painful it is to bench the Chiefs running back because you likely spent a second-round pick on him. But if you have another even remotely appealing option, bench you must. Firstly, you have no idea how many carries Charles will receive, because you also have no idea how many brain cells remain in Brain Daboll's melon. Combine that with the Steelers' run defense being among the eight in the league allowing less than 90 rushing yards weekly, and some losses are in urgent need of cutting.
The guy you should bench
Just say no to Jeremy Maclin. Stay away, and start him as only a low-tier flex option if desperation has brought you that far.
The Eagles' offensive line has been absolutely decimated by injuries, which has led to the repeated pounding of Michael Vick and eight sacks this past Monday night. Yet still for some reason there are mouth breathers in Philadelphia who want Vick yanked and replaced by Nick Foles. Hell, the only reason Vick is able to stay upright for even half the game is because of his ability to escape that man-eating rush every now and then by using his legs, and have we ever thought that maybe those offensive line injuries are forcing a quarterback who's already a poor decision maker into making even worse decisions when he's running to save his soul so often? Any discussion of inserting Foles remains the dumbest conversation of this NFL season, but I digress.
The connection between Maclin and Vick's beheading is a simple one. If Vick can get sacked eight times by a Saints defense that's still brought the quarterback down just a modest 20 times despite that one-week explosion, there's a dude named DeMarcus Ware who will make life especially unpleasant tomorrow. The Eagles face the division-rival Cowboys, and individually Ware is nearly halfway to the sack total of the entire Saints defense (he has nine). The Eagles have also shown a vulnerability to overload pressures, something the Cowboys specialize in under defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.
So Vick will likely have little time to look deep against a great coverage secondary led by Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne. That will lead to an especially painful day for both Maclin and DeSean Jackson, as their quarterback has already logged four games with less than six yards per pass attempt.
The numbers that will make you happy
Did you spend your waiver priority on Marcel Reece, and thanks to Darren McFadden and his bones that are constructed with Lego you have to start him? Fear not, friend, because there's some encouragement to be found in the Ravens' most recent attempted defense of a pass-catching running back, and Reece definitely is one.
Last week Trent Richardson caught six balls for 31 yards against the Ravens, and over his previous three games he only had five receptions for 47 yards.
The best case scenario for…Ryan Fitzpatrick
The garbage delivers again, and in another lopsided laughter in favor of the Patriots, the Bills quarterback is given something he's grown quite used to: a fourth quarter of meaningless football to play long-distance catch. The Patriots have won two of the last three Bills-Pats games, and the combined scored in those wins (101-49…yep) reflects the vast canyon between these two teams.
While another such beating will make Devang Desai compare Chan Gailey to other table condiments (sea salts?), you care very little about the plight of the Bills for fantasy purposes. All week I've been tossing names out there for the desperate Aaron Rodgers or Robert Griffin III owner who's coping with the worst bye ever between head dunks in the toilet. But that's been focused mostly on the waiver wire, where Ryan Tannehill, Russell Wilson, and maybe even Jake Locker will be fun. But if Fitzpatrick is on your bench, use him with confidence.
You'll look at Fitz's line during New England's most recent Buffalo beating in Week 4 (52-28), and the four interceptions will jump out, because interceptions do that. But despite those four picks (oh and hey, if we exclude that disastrous day, Fitzpatrick has only thrown five picks in his seven other games…careless, he is not) he still finished with 27 fantasy points while ripping up a weak Patriots secondary. He threw for 350 passing yards and four touchdowns, while also adding 14 rushing yards.
Bold-ish prediction for Fitzpatrick: 298 passing yards, 1 INT, 2 TDs
The worst case scenario for…Ryan Mathews
It's difficult to get a good read on the Bucs' run defense, because while a front seven led by middle linebacker Mason Foster has overall been solid and is the best in the league coming into this week while allowing just 77.2 rushing yards per game (the only defense in the league that's under 80), they've still been thoroughly thrashed by several elite backs. That includes Adrian Peterson (123 yards and a touchdown), and Alfred Morris (113 yards and a touchdown).
Elite's friendship with Ryan Mathews ended quite some time ago, and he's now approaching sagging also-ran territory as a running back who has a sporadic burst whenever he manages to reach the corner. There's a dedicated army of Mathews supporters that still remains an unbreakable band of brothers, even though he's scored a very modest and mediocre seven touchdowns over his last 22 games. Expect limited returns this week against a defense that closes off the edge well and often.
Bold-ish prediction for Mathews: 64 rushing yards, 10 receiving yards
The guys who are currently sleeping
We've been focusing a lot on this Delicious Pats-Bills matchup, because there's just so much fun to be had. And look, it's brought us two more gifts: Donald Jones and Shane Vereen.
Both are flex plays, as is the nature of the sleeper. Jones has some boom value due to both the feeble Patriots secondary even with the addition of Aqib Talib, and Stevie Johnson's nagging thigh injury that's led to his questionable tag. He'll play, but he could be limited, giving Jones the opportunity to get a few more targets than usual and maybe pop one for a long reception. He did that twice in Week 4, finishing with 90 receiving yards on just two catches, which included a 64-yard grab.
As for Vereen, you're aware of the Bills' rush defense that can't stop a group of literal muscle hamsters, and you're also aware of Bill Belichick's running back wizardry. Back in September against the Bills we learned Brandon Bolden's name, as an undrafted rookie rushed for 137 yards on just 16 carries (8.6 YPC). How many rushing yards did Bolden have prior to that game? 15. How many did he have over his next two games before getting hurt and then suspended? 82. Yep, Vereen is a great flex play given the Bills' hatred for stopping running backs, especially for those dealing with Trent Richardson's bye.

To bleed in a dream also means being a spendthrift, a money wasting family, or it could mean suffering from a venereal disease. (Also see Vascular blockage)
Blood Dream Explanation
— Spilt
symbolizes disease or rather a plague, an epidemic. A small quantity of
, as in an expectoration, refers to the household or those members of the family living under the dreamer's roof and other relatives (in some cases, those amongst them who are squandering the dreamer's money). It also means evil that will ultimately be driven away. Vomiting
is a sign that the dreamer will repent after committing a sin or holding undue money and that he will discharge whatever he had been entrusted with. Blood also represents the dreamer's life, power, money, lord, sponsor, helpers, or clothes that cover his body and make him look decent or earn him people's praise. It could also symbolize his semen, which weakens him every time it comes out. Likewise, it could refer to illicit gains or to whoever has eaten up money that was not his. Excessive bleeding or a haemorrhage means that support and assistance will be impeded or stalled on the part of the father, the son, or the partner or that the dreamer will sell some of his indispensable clothes or be separated from a beloved one (wife, et cetera). It could also mean troubles and unhappiness. Blood refers as well to the person's good or bad genie that runs in him like the bloodstream. When seen in a jar or any container,
represents menstruation. The cover of that jar or whatever is used to stuff its aperture is the cotton or hygienic towel. In some cases,
symbolizes what could not happen to a human being unless dead, like red
from a patient turning blue or yellow.
• Splashing in blood: The dreamer is being financed and is dealing with dirty money or is indulging in a major sin.

coming out of one's body and looking at the wounds: (1) Will be healthy and wealthy. (2) Will return safe and sound from a journey to find joy, happiness, and welfare. However, it must be pointed out that if the
coming out from the person's body was superfluous or unwanted, the dream would augur well, unlike dreams with excessive bleeding or haemorrhage.
• Drinking one's own blood: (1) Worries and hardships. (2) Will settle a debt by contracting another one. (3) Victory over the enemy.

at one's place or shop: The dreamer's
will be shed there.

. (2) If he is poor, he will have as many benefits as there was
• Falling in a vat or large vessel, a jar, or a pit full of blood: Excitement.
• The
of a woman having her menses: (1) For a single woman: A husband. (2) For a pregnant woman: Abortion. (3) For a woman having given up all hope of having her menses: Disease.
springing out of the rectum: (1) Will refrain from a sin. (2) If getting stained with it: Will pay a bribe or something unclean. (3) Haemorrhoids.

Hi all: Looking for specific varieties of fastest-growing fruit trees for zone 6b. Time to fruit, and type of fruit is irrelevant. My co-worker, who knows nothing about plants, has asked me to help her pick out a tree for her backyard. She is not picky, just as long as it "looks like a tree" and can handle periodic drought, as they do not have a water source in their backyard and she's not likely going to be a dedicated waterer. My experience with fruit trees is limited to the established trees that I grew up with in San Diego, so I have little experience with young, cold-hardy varieties. I'm hoping to get recommendations for specific varieties of trees that my co-worker can plant and which will add instant greenery to her currently barren backyard. I've been reading and it appears that peach, apples, and pears grow the fastest. I know that mulberry trees shoot up, but am hesitant to recommend them because of the mess the berries can make when they are ripe. Thoughts? Recommendations? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Peaches grow pretty dang fast. Apples sometimes grow fast for one year, then pretty slow after that. Cherries are somewhere in between. I have no experience with pears or plums. My gut and my mouth say, go with peach. Not sure of which cultivar is fastest for your climate but I bet just about any will be fine. Perhaps Contender or Elberta if you are concerned at all about the occasional spring cold snaps killing the flower buds, although in 6b it's probably not too huge a concern. Peaches need full sun and some water to keep them going. If you can't assure good watering, cherry might be the better way to go. |
It would help to know the state. Some trees like apricot are much better in some climates than another. Also many fruits besides mulberry make a mess with fallen fruit if not cared for. Unless she wants fruit a pure shade tree would be a better bet. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Tue, May 21, 13 at 19:18
J. plums and peaches can be nice bearing trees from whips in about 3 years if you grow them in a perfect environment. |
May I ask why a fruit tree? Almost all fruit trees need some level of care otherwise; it could be a mess when diseases or insects attack the tree and/or its fruit. It's not pretty to have fruit drops everywhere or tree limbs ooze with something that could also end up killing that tree. There are a number of beautiful flowering trees around. Would your friend consider that? When my friends asked if they could plant a fruit tree with no care in my zone, I could not think of anything to recommend because even an easy-care, disease resistant apple tree still needs some attention. I suggest they plant a flowering tree. |
- Posted by Chris-7b-GA none (My Page) on Tue, May 21, 13 at 19:53
As far as peaches, I guess where you live affects the growth. I am in north Georgia and planted 2 peach tree whips a year and a half ago, pruned to knee high at planting and was shocked at how fast they grew - 15 foot spread by the end of the 1st growing season. They are now at the second leaf and each tree is producing somewhere between 25 and 50 fruit. |
Flowering Japanese Cherries are beautiful; so are flowering crabapples. Great flowers! |
you will definitely want to consider disease and pest resistance as your friend is not going to stay on top of it. For example I have a Haralred and a Honeycrisp apple trees in my back yard. without a lot of attention that honey crisp would have died each year so far. the Haralred is a trooper and would have been fine without me. Although I do the organic thing, If someone is going to spray them on schedule that helps the survival. |

Apricots grow very fast, but they grow very long thin branches..and can be prone ot breakage if you don't thin...peaches grow very fast..but of course you are going to deal with a lot of fruit at some point (self pollinating). Apple seedlings or on a std rootstock should grow big/fast quickly. Pears grow fast enough, but grow in a Chrstmas tree shape. Maples grow like weeds around here.... I'd go with oak trees... |

Possibly the most enjoyable part of the wedding planning process is all the food you get to "test" out. My fiance, wedding planner, & I spent the day in the Wolfgang Puck Kitchen…where all the magic happens!!!
I find it VERY rewarding to eat something when you witness all the hard work, thought, & creativity that goes behind it all. My fiance said he felt like Anthony Bourdain from the show No Reservations (all you foodies know what i'm talking about!)
Here are a couple of the h'orderves & appetizers we are serving.
Thank God I had my fiance there with me to narrow down the selections because I wanted them ALL! (FYI – my fiance is a MAJOR foodie! He lives to wine & dine!) Now let me tell you our guests will be VERY well fed at the wedding! Happy Stomaches = Happy guests!
How adorbs is my wedding planner Jeannie from DetailsDetails? We left the tasting trying over 15 different plates of food…. we stumbled out of there in a food coma daze!
I have a VERY exciting wedding announcement I will be making tomorrow..so make sure to tune in!! Can't wait to share with you guys, but for now my lips are sealed =X

Fake product on left; legitimate product on right.
Fake product on left; legitimate product on right.
Solving the Problem Pesticide producers are dedicating significant human and financial resources to fighting illegal trade and counterfeits. But pesticide producers cannot succeed alone. Those responsible and affected need to lead -- governments, farmers, the food value chain and the plant protection industry. The growing problem urgently requires increased attention and intensified human and financial resources. Pesticides and plant protection products sold and used in Europe are extremely well regulated through EU and national regulations and legislation and as such are thoroughly tested to ensure the maximum safety to farmers, the environment and consumers purchasing and eating fresh produce treated with any pesticide. In the United States, laws and regulations governing pesticides and their use are well-established, serving to protect human and animal health while minimizing impacts on the environment.

Nancy, the Moody Blues were and still are one of my favorite groups but I'm in the dark as far as what you're looking for, maybe it's because my brain isn't in gear yet. I'll be back looking for clues. Annette |
Another fan. I still have the album somewhere. Remembrances of things past. Glad your back is feeling better. Absolutely no fun to have back pain. I am thinking of trying yoga, but will probably have to opt for the free shows on cable rather than a class I have to pay for since salary is again frozen for the coming sachool year. Getting tired of that happening every year. Cynthia |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sun, Jul 29, 12 at 11:19
I pulled my vinyl out yesterday - a Herculean effort, I might add. Does anyone know how to get a funky smell out of paper products?? Seems storage has made them smelly.....that might be a big job too. I used to do yoga, to a tape - I should start again. The Classics never get old!! Nancy. |
I need clues. Try putting it in sunshine to kill the mildew. May fade the colors. |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sun, Jul 29, 12 at 15:37
AAhh, sunshine - but yes the colours might fade. Hmmmm. I've got a few of them out on the table in the LR, my MB's albums, cause I wanted to look and see which ones I had - I have the above, as well as a couple of others. I just hate that they've acquired this smell - not really like mildew, not sure what it is, and thank God my linens didn't get this in storage, then again, they were sealed in plastic!! Thanks Bobbie, I was waiting for you to chime in before I put more clues out. May I say that it was a novel idea about a Greek odyssey?? That actually works, in a not too oblique manner!! Nancy. |
Hmmm...were there two clues in your post Nancy? I was still thinking in French, but guess we need to go further back. Cynthia |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sun, Jul 29, 12 at 16:23
I guess there have been a few clues, in earlier posts - two in the 2nd last sentence of my last post. Kinda of makes me think of Lennon/McCartney - A Day in the Life - final track on Sgt. Pepper's. Did anyone watch the opening ceremonies for the Olympics? I didn't, but read about them in the paper. Sir Paul apparently did his little 'And in the end, the love you make, is equal to the love you take.' Always loved that bit, though when I was a kid the olduns thought it was a reference to sex, not you get what you give! Nice to see it out there, though they did comment that he didn't add, 'Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl, but she doesn't have a lot to say.' lol. Greeks/Olympics - unintentional crossover, but no clues in the last bit!! Nancy. |
I'm totally at sea on this question and haven't spotted any familiar landmarks yet. I fear that my voyage will come to naught. TM |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sun, Jul 29, 12 at 18:22
AAahhhh, but the voyage is the thing, TM. It's a Greek voyage, but with a latin name!! Hmmm...how to connect dots for TM, et al. I did cross paths with the author in Dublin...well, not really, but figuratively!! Breathe deep the gathering gloom Impassioned lovers wrestle as one Cold hearted orb that rules the night And so the album comes to a close, as does the day of our question. Hard to imagine, but Justin Hayward was only 19-years-old when he wrote Nights in White Satin. Annette - I attached a superb concert below. It's a little weird, as the music does get a bit out of sync...They're backed by the World Festival Orchestra. Only 1st half is good - 2nd half is a repeat of the 1st without music(?). Seeing these guys live, preferably with an Orchestra is definitely on my bucket list!!! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Moodies Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Greek voyage, Latin name. Oh boy, stick a fork in me, I'm done. TM |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sun, Jul 29, 12 at 19:39
Irish author? Nancy. |
OK, maybe I have a shot. JJ? TM |
JJ wrote a thick book, "U..." which is a parody of Homer's "Odyssey. I recently saw this concert on our local PBS channel as part of their pledge drive. Some songs I knew and others were not familiar. I enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for the link. |
I was thinking Proust at first, but then your clues gave it away as Homer which also leads to Joyce. I will go with the majority, but no stars for me b/c I stopped at Homer. Good question. Great album. Thanks, Nancy. Hope everyone has a marvelous week. I am afraid I need to return to reality. *sigh* Cynthia |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Mon, Jul 30, 12 at 11:38
I didn't get back to look for clues but even if I did I wouldn't have got it :(. Well you can't win them all, great question Nancy and thanks for the link, really enjoyed it, see you all next weekend. Annette |
So the answer must be Ulysses. I actually thought of this as I wrote JJ. A miracle, for sure. TM |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Mon, Jul 30, 12 at 12:08
It was a good question, Nancy, and I would never have got the answer without the good hints. Thanks for the weekend fun. TM |
I also would not have gotten it without clues, especially TM's JJ. Thanks for the good music and info, Nancy, and to all for clues. |

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 466 - 13 June, 1996 Written Answers. - Proposed Development Levy. Mr. Callely Mr. Callely 34. Mr. Callely asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the concern regarding local authorities charging a development levy on new developments in view of the fact that such charges may hinder enterprise development, particularly in the Dublin region; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9885/96] Mr. Callely Mr. Callely 96. Mr. Callely asked the Minister for the Environment his views on local authorities charging a development levy; whether such a charge could have a negative impact; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12384/96] Minister of State at the Department of the Environment (Ms McManus) Minister of State at the Department of the Environment (Ms McManus) Minister of State at the Department of the Environment (Ms McManus): I propose to take Questions Nos. 34 and 96 together. Section 26 (1) of the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1963, empowers planning authorities to attach conditions to planning permissions, while section 26(2) contains specific provision for conditions requiring contributions towards expenditure already incurred, or to be incurred, by the planning authority in respect of works which have facilitated, or will facilitate, the proposed development. 2202 [2202] Decisions on the attachment to planning permissions of contribution conditions, and on the amount of contributions required, are matters for the relevant planning authority in the first instance. Such conditions can be appealed to An Bord Pleanála, which can, where it considers it appropriate, give to the planning authority directions relating to the attachment, amendment or removal of conditions to which the appeal relates, or of other conditions. The principle of requiring a developer, in appropriate cases, to contribute to the cost of services facilitating a proposed development has been established since the inception of the present planning code over 30 years ago, and I see no reason to depart from that now. Planning contributions, in some cases, make it possible to permit development to take place sooner than might be the case if the necessary services had to be provided solely out of public expenditure.

Something I've been working on for a while is the idea of a Universal 40k rpg system. I've got to the stage that I'm starting to share information to my players for them to have a look at and find fault/merit with, and I thought it might be something that you fine fellows might be vaguely interested in.
The system is designed to be Rankless (kind of) and balanced for anyone to play. It's not near complete, but the absolute basics for Inquisitotial and Asastes characters has been laid out - enough to start messing around with, anyhows. If any of you would like to have a look, throw in your 10 thrones and give me some feedback, it'd be great (positive or constructive feedback preferred - if you want to just flame me, can I politely ask that you do so through limerick or something similar so we can all have a laugh. Cheers.)
(It appears that Google Docs is playing silly buggers with formatting, but I'm not in a great place to fix it right now - I'll try to upload a better version soon).

Growers can look forward to new options for controlling Asian citrus psyllid in the next few years as pesticides in the development pipeline near the release stages.
At least two companies anticipate bringing foliar and soil drench products labeled for use in Florida citrus to market in the first half of 2013, pending registration approval by the Environmental Protection Agency and state regulators.
Asian citrus psyllid vectors the potentially devastating huanglongbing disease, also known as HLB and citrus greening.
Effective on psyllids and other insects
First out of the gate may be Indianapolis-based Dow AgroSciences' sulfoxaflor, to be marketed as Closer for psyllid control in citrus. Toni McEwan, Closer product manager, estimates EPA approval should come in 2013's first quarter.
A foliar-applied product, Closer is effective on contact and after ingestion by the pest, McEwan says. The Insecticide Resistance Action Committee places sulfoxaflor in the newly created Group 4C mode of action. The sole member of this subgroup, it has a unique interaction with the insects' nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
Sulfoxaflor is highly systemic in the plant, moving upward into new growth and providing a residual effect similar to that found with Delegate, another Dow insecticide. Exactly how long the product remains active in the plant varies with coverage and weather conditions, she says.
Spring applications, around bloom, are ideal, taking advantage of the product's minimal impact on bees and other beneficial insects, McEwan says. Closer will pair up well as a rotational partner with Delegate.
The company also plans to label Closer for use against citrus mealy bugs, brown citrus aphids and Florida red scale.
Foliar and drench formulations
Meanwhile, Wilmington, Del.-based DuPont Crop Protection plans to add two new products incorporating cyazypyr by midyear to its Florida citrus lineup, says Joe Mares, U.S. product launch manager for cyazypyr brands. Cyazypyr, an active ingredient in the anthranilic diamide class, falls into IRAC's Group 28 mode of action and is a ryanodine receptor modulator.
The company anticipates gaining EPA approval by late April or early May for a foliar application, to be marketed as Exirel, and a soil drench application, to be marketed as Verimark.
Florida registration likely will follow shortly after, Mares says.
Verimark is aimed at "a very focused market" to protect trees less than 4 feet tall, he says. Currently, only neonicotinoids are approved as soil applications for psyllid control on young trees.
Adding another weapon at this growth stage is particularly useful for resistance management, says Henry Yonce, president of KAC Agricultural Research in Deland, Fla.
Yonce, who participated in field trials, says the soil drench also provides "excellent" leafminer control. Depending on tree size and application rates, cyazypyr's effect on leafminers can stretch to 100 days.
Once past that growth stage, growers need to focus on protecting developing trees and leaf flush with foliar sprays, Mares says.
Timing Exirel applications early in the spring growth cycle will help protect leaf flush from both Asian citrus psyllids and leafminers. Mares also sees potential during summer flush.
Year-over-year field trials show that a strong start at spring leaf flush pays off at the end of the season in higher yields, he says.
Cyazypyr has little impact on predators and other beneficial insects, reducing the risk of secondary pest outbreaks, Mares says.
Other products in the works
Several other companies also have insecticides targeting Asian citrus psyllid in the works.
Phil Stansly, entomology professor at the University of Florida's Southwest Florida research lab in Immokalee, has tested many new psyllid control products in field trials.
Like Dow's Closer, Sivanto (flupyradifurone), under development by Bayer Crop Sciences, is similar to neonicotinoids.
Stansly says both products will be useful as foliar sprays to save neonicotinoids for soil drenches.
Nichino America Inc.'s Apta (tolfenpyrad) fits into IRAC's Group 21A insecticides.
"It's considered a miticide, but it looked quite good" in trials, Stansly says.
Marrone Bio Innovations is developing a microbial bio-insecticide derived from Burkholderia bacteria. It kills psyllids and may cause less collateral damage to beneficial insects than many conventional insecticides, he says.
More products aid resistance management
Expanding the number of available modes of action gives growers more options to rotate chemistries during the growing season, a necessary step for resistance management, Stansly says.
The new products are more selective than broad-spectrum insecticides, Stansly says. Timing their applications is important, focusing on specific life stages of the pest as well as considering impacts on secondary pests and beneficial insects.
Predatory and other beneficial insects are crucial.
"We don't realize what beneficials are doing for us until they're not there," Stansly says. "But it's hard to get them back after that."
Keeping pests in check while encouraging beneficial insects to thrive calls for added management. Tweaking such a complex equation is generally a better approach than "hitting it with a sledgehammer," he says.
"Huanglongbing has probably doubled production costs" as growers strive not only to keep the disease and the pest that vectors it out of their groves, but also to boost nutritional program, he says. "As long as prices stay high for the crop they can accept it."
The disease affects not only the current crop but also threatens trees' underlying health and future crops.
"It scared growers to death," he says. "But we're still alive and kicking here in Florida."

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.

Government Formation Takes Backseat to Regional Developments
No progress will be reached in the government formation for before ten
days due to the regional developments and numerous diplomatic visits to
Lebanon and the region, a concerned source told al-Jumhuriya newspaper in
remarks published on Friday.
President Michel Suleiman's circles meanwhile noted that there are no new
developments in the consultations in the government formation.
Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati's sources stated that the
consultations are ongoing, but at a slow pace, reported the newspaper.
They added that Speaker Nabih Berri, Progressive Socialist Party leader MP
Walid Jumblat, and the speaker and Hizubllah chief's advisors' efforts to
form a Cabinet are ongoing.
Beirut, 20 May 11, 12:36
Miqati Rejects Laying Foundation for Norms as Long as Constitution Clearly
States his Role
Premier-designate Najib Miqati has stressed that he rejects to adopt
customary decisions as long as the constitution clearly states that he
signs with the president the cabinet formation decree after consultations
with parliamentary blocs.
"My only intention is to form a cabinet as soon as possible" and deal with
the people's concerns and economic, social and security problems, Miqati
was quoted as saying by An Nahar daily on Friday.
"I believe that the price of waiting is less than the price (paid) for the
formation of a cabinet that is not at the required level," the
prime-minister designate said.
When asked why he wouldn't deal with Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel
Aoun the same way former Premier Fouad Saniora and Caretaker PM-Saad
Hariri have done, Miqati said: "I understand their circumstances but I
would be laying the foundation for norms."
He said he rejects such a move as long as article 64 of the constitution
clearly states the role of the premier-designate and the president in the
formation of the cabinet.
"We can't implement the constitution if it is in our interest one day and
ignore its implementation another day if it's not," Miqati stressed.
Asked about accusations by the FPM that he hadn't conditioned Hizbullah
and Amal to provide him with three names for each ministry as he had done
with Aoun's bloc, the premier-designate said: "This is not true. I have
asked it from Amal movement, Hizbullah and the Progressive Socialist Party
and all the blocs and sides that will participate in the cabinet."
"Only Hizbullah and the FPM haven't proposed names to us," he added.
Miqati also denied that he had received a message from U.S. Ambassador
Maura Connelly to delay the formation of the cabinet. "We don't receive
messages from anyone," he said about himself and President Michel
Asked how he would be able to form a successful team if the president, PSP
leader Walid Jumblat and Miqati lacked veto power, he said: "The most
important thing in the cabinet formation process is how to rule with my
team in the interest of the country."
"I don't intend to enter the government to become part of a quarrel. I
don't believe in veto power," Miqati added.
Beirut, 20 May 11, 08:32
Siniora says his bloc might back "cabinet of experts"
May 20, 2011
Future bloc leader MP Fouad Siniora said on Thursday evening that his bloc
might give a vote of confidence to a new Lebanese cabinet if it comprises
"There is a possibility we grant the vote of confidence to the cabinet if
it comprises a group of experts and if it has an acceptable Ministerial
Statement," Siniora told Al-Arabiya television.
He said that he advised Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati to form a
24-minister cabinet that includes specialists and to "leave the matters of
disputes on a side until matters calm down."
"There is no need to have a confrontational cabinet in Lebanon," he added.
Siniora also said that US President Barack Obama's Thursday remarks on the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict were "disappointing."
He said that Obama's speech "was not enough," adding that the US President
did not address the Palestinians' right of return, but "spoke about the
establishment of an Israeli state and an Arab state."
"[Obama] did not offer a clear program regarding [Middle East] peace."
On Thursday, Obama called for a negotiated solution based on the borders
that existed before the 1967 Six Day War, but also expressed skepticism
over the value of the forthcoming Palestinian bid for UN recognition of a
unilateral proclamation of statehood.

Hariri cannot return as premier, Aoun says
May 20, 2011
Change and Reform bloc MP Michel Aoun said on Thursday evening that he
"does not think that [outgoing Prime Minister] Saad Hariri is capable of
returning to the Grand Serail [as premier]."
Aoun said in an interview with Syrian state television that "those
obstructing cabinet formation today are the same ones who said that Hariri
could not govern," referring to alleged diplomatic cables published by
WikiLeaks that appear to show US diplomats expressing doubt about Hariri.
"Maybe if they are able to prevent the majority from forming a cabinet,
they will bring in [another] cabinet, but not headed by Hariri," Aoun
"Today there is foreign interference to prevent the establishment of a
cabinet that supports the Resistance."
Aoun also defended Syrian President Bashar al-Assad amid the Syrian
regime's crackdown on widespread protests, saying that Assad had already
decided to undertake reforms, but "there are those trying to make it
appear that he only did this under pressure."
Assad has "great love" for Syria and its people and he is a "firm defender
of the Resistance,'' Aoun added.
Regarding Assistant Secretary of State of Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey
Feltman's visit to Lebanon, he said that "it is not our custom to refuse
any Western official's visit to Lebanon, regardless of our negative or
positive evaluation of him."
"However, we will not delay in opposing anything we consider dangerous to
Lebanon. I do not think he will visit me, since he knows my negative
answers to his proposals."
Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati was appointed in January with the
March 8 coalition's backing following the collapse of Hariri's unity

Gemayel rejects technocratic cabinet
May 19, 2011
Kataeb Party leader Amin Gemayel an interview to be published on Friday
rejected the formation of a technocratic cabinet in Lebanon.
"A technocratic cabinet opposes the Taif Accord," Gemayel told Al-Balad
"How can we hand over decision making to people who do not belong to
parliamentary blocs and political leaderships, especially since the debate
[in the country] is over political matters and technocratic ones," he
The former president added that he suggested the formation of a
national-salvation cabinet to Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati.
"The details of [such cabinet] are left to the stage when everyone is
convinced of the [necessity] of such an initiative," he said.
"We are no more in a cabinet crisis, but in a crisis [targeting] the
republic itself."
Gemayel reportedly met with Mikati on Wednesday and discussed the cabinet
formation process.
Mikati, who was appointed to the premiership in January with the backing
of the Hezbollah-led March 8 coalition, has not yet formed his cabinet.

Home » Services » Cathodic Protection Consulting » Indirect Corrosion Assessment
Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA)MATCOR has performed ICDA evaluations of numerous pipelines in accordance with NACE Standard SP0206-2006 Dry Gas Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (DG-ICDA.) The basis behind ICDA is that detailed examination of locations along a pipeline where an electrolyte such as water would first accumulate provides information about the remaining length of pipe. The primary goal of the approach is to determine if internal corrosion is likely or unlikely to exist in a chosen length of pipe. Locations most likely to accumulate electrolyte are predicted using the results of pipeline multi-phase flow modeling. If the locations along a length of pipe most likely to accumulate electrolyte have not corroded, then other locations less likely to accumulate electrolyte may be considered free from corrosion and not require further examination. The method is applicable for gas transmission lines that normally carry dry gas but may suffer from short term upsets of wet gas or liquid water. The ICDA process is a four step approach as follows:
The Pre-assessment phase involves collecting historical and operational data regarding the pipeline to assure that the ICDA methodology is appropriate for the particular pipeline, plan the collection of field data during the indirect inspection phase and to collect the necessary operational data to properly perform multi-phase modeling.
Utilizing sub-meter accurate GPS and a pipeline current mapping (PCM) tool to collect accurate depth of cover data, a pipeline elevation profile is created from data collected along the operator's pipeline. This data, in conjunction with the multi-phase flow modeling calculations determined by our liquid hold-up software allows for critical inclination angle locations to be identified as potential water hold-up locations.
Based on the model results developed in the indirect inspection, multiple excavations can be performed to allow for direct physical examination of the presdicted hold up points. Ultrasonic thickness testing of the excavated pipeline is performed to evaluate whether or not internal corrosion is a present threat at these hold-up locations.
During this step, MATCOR provides a detailed report outlining the results and assessing the effectiveness of the ICDA process and recommending reassessment intervals. |
