Bridgestone Corporation officially broke ground last week on a biorubber process research center — a facility expected to investigate ways to better produce rubber from a native southwestern plant.
"We're interested in bringing companies, such as Bridgestone, who have an international reputation for quality, not only in the products that they build, but the way they conduct their business," said Mesa Mayor Scott Smith at the groundbreaking event on Thursday, May 16.
The undeveloped area in southeast Mesa is growing and ripe for future commercial development, Smith said.
"We're a big place, but we still have room to grow, too," he said. "This facility is in one of those areas where we will see incredible growth. Not only growth in people, because that's not what we're interested in now, but in business."
Across the road from the future research center is the Fujifilm Mesa facility, while the newly-completed First Solar factory sits a few miles north.
The Bridgestone research center will be used to research innovative ways to harvest the guayule plant for rubber, something that has not been successfully done on a large-scale commercial size, said Bill Niaura, Bridgestone America's director of new business development.
"To see an idea take shape and then come to life, first as an experiment in a laboratory, then blueprints on paper and now as an active construction site, has been a very gratifying experience," Niaura said. "The facilities that will open here represents years of planning, hard work and with a broader perspective represents efforts to promote meaningful innovations in our industry."
The research center will be more than advance for industry innovations, said Gary Garfield, CEO and president of Bridgestone Americas, Inc.
"It will also bring high-wage, scientific jobs to this community," said Garfield. "This is not a short term proposition. We're trying to do something here that has never really ever been done successfully."
At completion, the center will have a staff of 40 researchers and technicians. The first rubber samples should be ready by mid-2015.
The site, which covers 10 acres, will include an 8,400-square-foot office and lab building, a four-platform, 3,500-square-foot shrub prep building and a 3,100-square-foot mechanical and electrical building. Scientists at the site will process the plants for natural rubber, resin and other biomass used for energy production or other products.
Guayule, a leafy plant found in the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico, produces natural rubber in its bark and roots, however it has never been as commercially successful as traditional sources of rubber or synthetic rubber.
"Synthetic alternatives lack attributes that only Mother Nature seems able to provide," Niaura said.
Only natural rubber has 100 percent uniform chemical chains, he said. At it's best, synthetic rubber can be in the high 90 percent, but because of the non-uniform can be less elasticity and durability.
Bridgestone has also begun construction on an agricultural facility in Eloy, Ariz., to grow the guayule for the Mesa research center.
The Hevea tree used primarily to produce the rubber in tires cannot be grown in the United States and with ever-changing availability from the Asian countries that grow it and the fluctuating prices for petroleum, which synthetic rubber is made from.
"Rubber trees can only grow in certain parts of the world and they don't grow in the United States," Garfield said. "We need an alternative source of rubber."
"To be a better supplier for everyone who uses our tires, we need to make sure we can get the rubber when we need it," Garfield said. "And we live in a changing world and all kind of things can happen."
Moreover, a new source of rubber means lower prices for consumers while also being environmentally responsible, he said.
"We very much believe that we are stewards of this world that we inhabit," Garfield said. "And we believe that if we are successful in using guayule as a natural source of rubber, it will reduce overall our carbon footprint."
Balfour Beatty Construction, based in Scottsdale, will build the facility.
Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC, a Bridgestone America subsidiary, is developing the project in collaboration with Bridgestone Corporation. Bridgestone Corporation is providing the funding and strategic insights for the project, while the Bridgestone Americas team will be responsible for operating the process research facility.

Help! We have a 1/3 HP Craftsman Garage Door Opener, installed 1994, Model 53325SRT. The door goes up when using either the remote or wall switch. When we try to put the door down, it automatically stops and the light blinks as if something was blocking the sensors thus keeping the door from going down. This is not the case however since the lights are green on the sensors and there are no obstructions at the bottom of the door. The only way to put the door down is to push the wall switch button and keep it down until the door goes all the way down. What concerns me is the green indicator light next to the smart button on the opener unit blinks constantly which indicates a problem. I already replaced the remote with a new Craftsman unit but it did not help and it was very difficult to program. I think it took 10 minutes for the light to blink indicating that the remote was programmed. Thanks, I hope someone can help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
We had a similar problem and the fix was simply aligning the sensors. It is so easy for them to get bumped out of alignment. |

Globus Toolkit/5.1.3
From Globus
Since GT 5.2.0 has been announced, there pages are out dated and should no longer be used. GT 5.2 doc and download information can be found here: http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/5.2/
Globus Toolkit 5.2 Beta release
The Globus Toolkit Development Team has released a beta version of the Globus Toolkit 5.2 (as release version 5.1.3) to provide an opportunity for others to get a sense of how major changes that we have made in our build and distribution systems will affect them, and to get feedback on how we can improve this prior to the final GT 5.2 release.
This beta release consists of the GridFTP server and its dependencies, MyProxy and GSI-OpenSSH, and GRAM 5. Other GT components will be added in subsequent releases, or as new packages within the context of an existing release.
The 5.2 release is protocol and source compatible with Globus Toolkit 5.0.
Major Changes between 5.0 and 5.2
Major changes have been made to the Toolkit since 5.0.x
- Native packaging for linux distributions based on RPM and Debian package managers
- The concept of "flavors" of Globus libraries has been obsoleted
- Elimination of the compile-time distinction between threaded and non-threaded builds. All libraries are built to be thread-safe, but most applications and services will run by default without threads. The GLOBUS_THREAD_MODEL environment variable can be used to select between "none" (nothreads) and "pthreads" event-handling model.
- The toolkit has been reorganized to be compliant with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
- The environment variable GLOBUS_LOCATION is no longer required to be set at runtime (though it is still honored to allow non-native packages to be relocated).
- Shared library versioning to allow different versions of libraries to coexist.
- Simplified configuration: more default values for Globus service configurations (especially GRAM5), more admin tools for interacting with tools (GRAM gatekeeper, audit)
- Cleaner separate of configuration file and implementation for GRAM LRM modules.
- Elimination of GPT setup packages as a way to create default configuration files
- Much simplified globus-simple-ca package for managing a CA, including tools for distributing RPM and debian packages containing CA certificate and policy files.
- More user-installable documentation and man pages for tools and libraries
- Many bug fixes
Changes between Alpha 3 and 5.2 Beta (5.1.3)
- added backward compatibility for existing binary packages that link against GT5.0 libraries.
- gatekeeper/jobmanager can work without functional gss_export_sec_context (so that Ubuntu 11.10 can build using source installer)
Additional Changes expected before final 5.2 release
- Please tell us (by emailing email@example.com) which other packaging systems and specific platforms (e.g. Linux Mint, SuSE Linux Enterprise 11, MacOS X 10.6.x, etc.) for which you would like to see source and/or binary packages.
- 5.2 specific documentation
What about Alpha 1, Alpha 2 and Alpha 3
All information about the first alpha release can be found here.
All information about the second alpha release can be found here.
All information about the third alpha release can be found here.
An early version of this beta release was given to VDT as 5.1.2.
Globus Toolkit 5.2 Beta
What's in the GT 5.2 Beta
The Globus Toolkit 5.1.3 release consists of a set of RPMs for several Linux distributions and a source installer which can be used on platforms that do not use RPM. We provide source and binary RPM packages for CentOS 5, Fedora 13, 14 and 15, RedHat 5, and Scientific Linux 5.5 and 6.1.
It also includes a set of .deb packages for several Debian and Ubuntu versions, including Debian 5.0 "lenny" and 6.0 "squeeze", and Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.4. These packages do not include GRAM 5, which is yet forthcoming.
The 5.1.3 release contains GRAM 5 (with the fork, PBS, SGE, and Condor LRM adapters), the GridFTP software stack, MyProxy and GSI-OpenSSH.
How can I get 5.1.3
The source installer can be found here. md5sum eeb73f3beeb0143b21c18037e9b88565 gt5.1.3-all-source-installer.tar.gz
The toplevel configure is identical to previous (5.0) source installers. You can specify a prefix with --prefix=<prefix>, a build flavor, if you desire, with --with-flavor=<flavor> (flavors are no longer encoded into library names, but are still used internally as a shorthand of the compiler options that are being used.) The configure script should pick a suitable default flavor if you do not provide one. Then, simply do a "make" on the target or targets you desire. There is a target for each provided package (that will ensure its dependencies are also made), and there are a few "bundle" targets: gridftp, globus-data-management-server, globus-data-management-client, and globus-data-management-sdk.
The RPMs can be found in the subdirectories under here.
The Debian packages (currently excluding GRAM) can be found in the subdirectories under here.
Installing GridFTP
Installing RPMs
The repo-config rpms for the various binary RPM repositories can be found here.
To install from binary RPMs, get the appropriate repo-config rpm from the link above, install it with
# rpm -i Globus-repo-config.<distro>.noarch.rpm
Install packages
# yum groupinstall globus-gridftp globus-gram5
or, if you would prefer to manually specify the top level packages,
# yum install globus-gridftp-server-progs globus-gass-copy-progs
The GridFTP server, GRAM5 Gatekeeper, and GRAM5 Scheduler Event Generator are not started by default. To enable them to start automatically when the machine is booted, do the following:
# chkconfig globus-gridftp-server on # chkconfig globus-gatekeeper on # chkconfig globus-scheduler-event-generator on
Installing Debs
The Debian packages for 5.1.3 are available, aside from GRAM 5 packages. The repository configuration debs for Debian and Ubuntu can be found here.
To install from binary .debs, get the appropriate globus-repository-<distro>.deb from the link above, install it with
$ dpkg -i globus-repository-<distro>_0.0.1_all.deb $ apt-get update
Install packages
$ tasksel install globus-gridftp
or, if you would prefer to manually specify the top level packages,
$ apt-get install globus-gridftp-server-progs globus-gass-copy-progs
There is a known bug in the debian packaging of the libglobus-xio-gsi-driver0 package in the 5.1.1 release, where it does not contain the /usr/lib/libglobus_xio_gsi_driver.so symlink (it is in the dev package instead.) This symlink is necessary for the globus-gridftp-server to initialize. The workaround is to either
$ apt-get install libglobus-xio-gsi-driver-dev
which will install the symlink (along with a whole stack of development packages), or by simply creating the symlink with
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libglobus_xio_gsi_driver.so.0.1.2 /usr/lib/libglobus_xio_gsi_driver.so
To start the gridftp server at boot:
$ update-rc.d globus-gridftp-server defaults
Starting the Globus services
Start the Globus services with:
# service globus-gridftp-server start # service globus-gatekeeper start # service globus-scheduler-event-generator start
Obtaining host and user certificates is beyond the scope of this document. DOEGrids may be an option. You will require both host and user certificates to successfully complete the test cases below.
If you do not already have your user certificate mapped, you will need to create/edit your /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile
$ sudo grid-mapfile-add-entry -dn "$(grid-cert-info -s -f ~username/.globus/usercert.pem)" -ln username
where username is the account name to which you want the certificate to be mapped.
If you wish to install the CA hashes for the CAs that are trusted by Globus Online, you can do so with this package here.. Untar it in some temporary location, cd globusonline-trust-roots, and run ./install-trust-roots
If you choose not to install this package, you will have to ensure that you put the proper hashes for the CAs that signed your certs into /etc/grid-security/certificates. An additional resource for common CA certificates can be found here.
Documentation on configuring Certificates,Trusted CAs, and gridmap files can be found here.
GridFTP 5 user documentation can be found on the Globus Toolkit website at here.
GridFTP 5 administration documentation can be found here.
Testing a 5.2 beta GridFTP server
This document will walk through testing GridFTP services. For additional setup options, see the 5.2.0 draft Quickstart guide here.
Run the following commands:
$ grid-proxy-init $ globus-url-copy gsiftp://<your_gridftp_server>/etc/group file:///tmp/`whoami`.$$ $ grid-proxy-destroy
Success looks like:
[bacon@wiggum] grid-proxy-init Your identity: /DC=org/DC=doegrids/OU=People/CN=Charles Bacon 332900 Enter GRID pass phrase for this identity: Creating proxy ..................................... Done Your proxy is valid until: Wed Oct 19 02:15:18 2005 [bacon@wiggum] globus-url-copy gsiftp://<your_gridftp_server>/etc/group file:///tmp/`whoami`.$$ [bacon@wiggum] diff /tmp/`whoami`.* /etc/group [bacon@wiggum] rm /tmp/bacon.892 [bacon@wiggum] grid-proxy-destroy
Now try doing a client/server transfer (one of your URLs has file: in it):
$ grid-proxy-init $ globus-url-copy -vb -dbg gsiftp://<your_gridftp_server>/dev/zero file:///dev/null
This will run until you control-c the transfer. If that works, reverse the direction:
$ globus-url-copy -vb -dbg file:///dev/zero gsiftp://<your_gridftp_server>/dev/null
Again, this will run until you control-c the transfer.
Try moving an actual file:
$ globus-url-copy gsiftp://<your_gridftp_server>/etc/group file:///tmp/quser.test.copy $ diff /tmp/quser.test.copy /etc/group
Installing GRAM 5 server
on an RPM based system:
# yum groupinstall globus-resource-management-server
Decide whether you want the jobmanager to use polling, or the Scheduler Event Generator. Using the SEG is often more efficient than using a LRM adapter's poll method. Install one or more scheduler packages depending on what schedulers your system has.
# yum install globus-gram-job-manager-pbs-setup-seg (if you want to use polling, substitute -poll for -seg above)
# yum install globus-gram-job-manager-condor
# yum install globus-gram-job-manager-sge-setup-seg (if you want to use polling, substitute -poll for -seg above)
For LRM-sepcific configuration, see /etc/globus/globus-$lrm.conf" The LRM-specific configuration files are commented with what config is available and how it works. For SGE, special config note: run qconf -mconf to edit configuration. Modify reporting_params line to have reporting=true and joblog=true instead of false.
Start the Scheduler Event Generator
# service start globus-scheduler-event-generator
Configure GRAM Audit capabilities
If you wish to use the GRAM Audit capabilities:
# yum install globus-gram-audit
by default it uses sqlite3 in /var/lib/globus/gram-audit-database
If you prefer to switch to a different audit db:
- update /etc/globus/gram-audit.conf with the appropriate DBI driver name, username, password, database contact
- then run globus-gram-audit --create to generate tables in the database.
The supported DBI drivers are: mysql, Pg, SQLite
Testing a 5.2 beta GRAM 5 jobmanager
Run GRAM5 Fork and local resource manager tests as shown below using your host, port, and resource manager name as appropriate.
- Get your credential
$ grid-proxy-init
- Test authentication and getting to the globus-gatekeeper
$ globusrun -a -r <host:port>/jobmanager-fork
- test a fork LRM job
$ globusrun -o -r <host:port>/jobmanager-fork '&(executable="/bin/hostname" )'
- Test a LRM job, for example jobmanager-pbs
$ globusrun -o -r <host:port>/jobmanager-<lrm> '&(executable="/bin/hostname")(jobType=single)(count="1")(maxtime=10)'
- Test a LRM job, for example jobmanager-pbs and save the PBS script to the end users home directory usually in a file called gram_{globusjobid}.pl
$ globusrun -o -r <host:port>/jobmanager-<lrm> '&(executable="/bin/hostname")(jobType=single)(count="1")(maxtime=10)(save_job_description=yes)'
GRAM5 Admin Guide can be found on the Globus Toolkit website at here.
GRAM 5 user documentation can be found on the Globus Toolkit website at here.
Installing MyProxy
on an RPM based system:
$ yum install 'myproxy*' $ chkconfig myproxy-server on
on a debian based system
$ apt-get install 'myproxy*' $ update-rc.d myproxy-server defaults
Modify /etc/sysconfig/myproxy-server to change the defaults for certificate, key, etc.
on an RPM based system:
$ service myproxy-server start
on a debian based system:
$ invoke-rc.d myproxy-server start
Installing GSI-OpenSSH
on an RPM based system:
$ yum install 'gsi_openssh*' $ chkconfig gsisshd on
on a debian based system:
$ apt-get install 'gsi_openssh*' $ update-rc.d gsisshd defaults
Modify /etc/gsisshd/sshd_config to change the defaults such as the port number.
on an RPM based system:
$ service gsisshd start
on a debian based system:
$ invoke-rc.d gsisshd start

Many people have made valuable suggestions about how we might rework how the Globus Toolkit is built and distributed. Special acknowledgement should be given, however, to Mattias Ellert, who has, over the past few years, developed patches against GT4 and GT5.0 that have allowed parts to be distributed with several Linux distributions. His work has made the process of identifying and internalizing various changes much easier.

Hi GW,
My family eats gombo weekly and we use about four pounds of okra each week to make our gombo. I am planning to grow my own okra again this year - this time working with Clemson Spineless seeds. My question is, how many okra plants do I need to have to be able to harvest four pounds per week in total? We have a lot of sun, if that's of any help. PLEASE if someone knows the answer, I'll be superhappy. Thank you. (As a side note, if anyone knows how high my raised bed should be for Okra plants (minimum height, please), I would really appreciate it. We have a weed mat on the ground made of some sort of cloth...if that's relevant) |

Thanks FD, seems like I'll need a few beds of nothing but okra then, if I want my food. I also wanted to be able to can some. Any ideas of which variety is the highest yield? |
Last summer, I transplanted Okra into Black Plastic and was picking 20-40 pounds off of 240 row feet every week from June-September. |

JRSlick, what variety of okra did you plant? Also, what do you mean by Black Plastic? Please let me know, 20-40 lbs sounds right up my alley. |
Black plastic mulch. http://www.gardenharvestsupply.com/ProductCart/pc/Black-Plastic-Mulch-1-Mil-Smooth-3-x-50-p360.htm 4 lbs a day would be a lot of plants. They arn't the tightest spaced veg, nor the garden's biggest producer. You may be better served by growing less of your own and picking a variety for flavor and then supplementing your own harvest with some high yeild commercial varieties from the farmers market or store. |

4 pounds per week would translate to between 25 and 35 plants. My rule of thumb is to have 2 okra plants every 18 inches. You could squeeze that much into a single raised bed about 9 feet long by 4 feet wide using 3 "rows" each with 6 hills of 2 plants. It would require cutting okra in the middle of the bed which could be a "prickly" proposition. DarJones |
- Posted by KendraSchmidt none (My Page) on Thu, Mar 29, 12 at 5:52
Perfect DarJones. Thank you everyone for your feedback. I need just that, four pounds per week. I'm hoping to maybe put additional dwarf plants into containers to ensure that I have enough to freeze for the winter months, too. 25 to 35 plants sounds PERFECT. Thanks again for your help! |
The variety was Clemson Spineless. It was also a great year for Okra, Dry and Hot! However, the best thing was the plastic mulch and spacing it one foot apart. I have never had Okra do this well before. I am planning on doing the same thing this year and see what the results are. Plastic mulch or landscape fabric (that is what I used) comes in 3 foot by 50, 100 or 300 foot rolls. I am using black plastic mulch this year and I purchased a 4,000 foot roll. I will have it around for a few years! Jay |

Langston University Aquaculture |
Aquaculture Programs LANGSTON UNIVERSITY AQUACULTURE Programs exist to produce and provide to our Oklahoma aquaculturists and pond owners the information and technology necessary to profitably manage fish farms and ponds in an ecologically sustainable manner for profit, home food production and recreation. We also believe the public must understand the aquatic environment to properly manage and regulate activities related to these resources. To these ends, we have developed a program of research, extension and education that will help insure a profitable and environmentally sound use of the aquatic resources of Oklahoma. Research is the foundation of our program and is conducted at the Langston University Aquaculture Facility. The facility consists of 46 research ponds from 0.1 to 0.5 acres in size, a fish hatchery and research laboratory. Research at Langston University is designed to provide Oklahoma fish culturists with the latest scientifically based culture techniques applicable to our region. We work closely with fish farmers in an effort to understand and respond to their needs. Projects are designed to work in harmony with aquatic environmental processes to increase profitability and reduce dependence on outside resources. Information produced by research and information on aquatic related topics are presented to our clientele through the Aquaculture Extension Program in easily accessible and readily understandable formats. Extension personnel are available for personal consultation, on-site visits, workshops and field days. Goals: Our goals are to:

Rustic and Refined
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets These magnets were so great and easy to personalize! They really captured the Rustic idea of our wedding and the end product was very professional. It was a lot of fun to play around with the colors to get the exact right combination. I also purchased coordinating return labels and seals to complete the envelope. They all looked great and we got lots of compliments. I was only a little disappointed that there was only one size to choose from and that the magnets are much smaller than the envelopes that they arrive with. You can buy the card for the magnet but it wasn't advertised or suggested with the product so I did not get them and am sorry that I didn't.
Very cute, colors, the size.
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets The personalized colors are a great, the size of the magnet and the text was great.
LOVE them!
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets I love MagnetStreet because you can completely customize the design! You can choose Exactly what colors you want, which is amazing. You're not limited at all. I also thought the magnets would be too small, but actually they're not. They're great quality, and MagnetStreet even sent us a book with tons of samples for invitations. It's really thorough and I was really impressed. I would recommend these magnets to anyone. :)
Perfect for Mailing!
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets Really love the magnet! It came quickly and all the details were correct. The magnet is around the size of a credit card so you can use regular priced stamps to send them out in the envelope.
Excellent Service
Candlelit Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets Received my save the date magnets yesterday and was very impressed by the product & the presentation. Colors were exactly as they appeared online. Totally satisfied.

6 Things Beyoncé Just Proved With Her New Album
#1. People will still buy music, if you give them a good reason to buy it.
In 2013, a lot of people out there simply refuse to buy music. And can you really blame them? There are so many mixtapes, EPs and albums that drop that it would be damn near impossible to buy all of them and still pay rent every month. But a lot of those same people were quick to whip out their credit cards (and iTunes gift cards) to snatch up Beyoncé's latest project.
Because of the way she released it, it had a very "YOU NEED TO BUY THIS NOW!" feel to it. And even though people are strapped for cash because of the holidays, they didn't mind shelling out $16 for it. Just check the sales.

Very few, if any, dates of the calendar are more American than this single date each year. The celebrations, the festivities, the time of remembering the reason for our independence can really become inspiring for even those who may not know the cost of this celebration.
There have been many who have explained the cost to our ancestors, and while it may be impossible to discern fact from fiction 238 years later, there is overwhelming evidence that those who signed their name knew the possible ultimate cost. They pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor! They were literally signing their death warrant if this did not turn out well.
Very few of us have ever had that kind of pressure and this is a good thing, but for us to enjoy our lives today someone in the past had to decide that enough was enough, and even death was better than living under the rule of someone else who seemed not to care about anything other than what taxes they could collect from our ancestors.
The republic which they founded was not only worth that much to them, they were planning for their children and the generations that they would never even see.
Our nation, under God, has faults like many others but we are also abundantly blessed due to the fact that we acknowledged our Creator and originally set our sights on His word to form a more perfect union.
Our community is also blessed with many examples of those who support not only Bradley County, but our entire region with events for all to enjoy. There are many planned events for this Fourth of July and I encourage you to partake of those that interest you and your family the most.
Starting with doors opening at 8:30 a.m., the 15th anniversary of the His Hands Extended Freedom Celebration will be held at Cleveland's First Baptist Church. According to Max Morris, Tyler Brinson and Steve Beasley have been rehearsing with the First Baptist Choir and other special singers to bring an exceptional 1 1/2 hour patriotic, spiritual and uplifting beginning to this fabulous day.
Commissioner-elect Howard Thompson will once again hold his annual fireworks celebration on Highway 64 at the Flea Market. Tailgating usually begins here at around 4:30 p.m. in an effort to secure the best parking and enjoy some of the free food available.
Thompson said approximately 1,000 hot, dogs will be given away first and then the remaining food will be available at regular price. The band "2 x 2" will be performing after 7 p.m. and the fireworks at this location should begin somewhere around 9:15 p.m.
Mount Olive Church of God, along with Larry Hill Ford, will once again be providing the fireworks extravaganza at Bradley Square Mall. The launching site of the fireworks this year will be at the T.L. Lowery Ministry Center. Parking will be available all along the merchants row on Paul Huff Parkway and surrounding areas. According to WCLE Lite Mix 104.1 owner Steve Hartline, you will be able to enjoy the fireworks show as well as tune in to listen to Ed Ramsey, who will be broadcasting the choreographed patriotic music to go along with the show at their FM station, 104.1.
I hope to see you all out enjoying all that our county has to offer during this special time of celebrating our independence.
If your plans include celebrating on a smaller scale with just family, and that time together includes fireworks, please make sure small children have adequate supervision. As beautiful as some of the fireworks today are, they also may prove to be dangerous when in the wrong hands.
It is comforting that the fireworks we see at this time truly are just for entertainment, but may it also remind us that "once upon a time" they were for real, and many who went before us have sacrificed for us to be able to enjoy our home, our state and our nation.
Thank you, Bradley County citizens, for continuing the history of honoring the past and celebrating the now, but also planning for the future that continues the course of Bradley County being Tennessee at its best.

Forza Motorsport 5 will launch with over 200 cars. That's a sizeable assortment of motors, but it's a bit of a step down from Forza Motorsport 4, which shipped with something in the region of 500. Hence the fiery reaction to the announcement of a Season Pass, which includes access to six monthly 10-car DLC packs, the first of which (a Ferrari LaFerrari special) launches alongside the main game.
To resurrect an old debate, have Turn 10 and Microsoft purposefully withheld content in order to drum up a bit of extra pocket money? We took the opportunity to cudgel creative director Dan Greenawalt's brains on the subject after a recent hands-on.
"We're not keeping anything back," he rather unsurprisingly began. "I think people misunderstand the way these things work. It takes us six months to build a car, so when I say there's a ten-car pack launching day one - they're not done. We're not done with them yet.
"So we're not holding anything back, we were crunching to make sure we had this level of quality on all 200 cars. Every one had to be Forza level of quality. This was as many as we could build - straight up. We've built this whole process.
"It's a bit like firing artillery," Greenawalt mused, a bit more surprisingly. "We started building these cars in waves, so the 200 would be done just in time to get it printed for disc, and we started, three or four months later, the first of the ten that are going to be delivered on day one, and about a month after that we start the first of the ten that are going to be delivered the month following. The whole thing is timed so that we're getting them done right before we launch them.
"The issue is, when you're trying to do new cars and it takes us six months to build a car, it's hard to stay fresh," he added. "Even when we get data from the manufacturers, they build their cars up to the last second, and then we get the data and we've got to add six months on top. And if you want to have a hot car, you need to start it as late as possible, which means finishing it as late as possible.
"And that's why DLC has worked so well for us, because we can start shooting these artillery shots. So the whole idea that things are being held back..." It's a popular internet rant, we offered. "Many rants are popular," Greenawalt replied. "That doesn't make them accurate!"
Turn 10 and Microsoft aren't oblivious to the fact that players won't appreciate the additional outlay, on top of the cost of a next generation console. "Money is money and money is tight. We've been in a recession for a long time. So I'm not by any means trying to downplay people's [financial concerns]."
And Greenawalt feels the game delivers ample bang for buck, even without the DLC cars. "I don't believe there has been a racing game at launch that has been this size. By a long shot. 200 plus cars, tons of environments - this is a huge game. If you play one car a day, let's say, that's 200 cars. That's a lot of value. I understand people being angry, because money is money, but this is not a short game or a small game and we're absolutely not holding anything back."
Convinced? Thanks to Richard Wordsworth for the interview, during which Turn 10's frontman also discussed the importance of Xbox One's cloud as regards achieving that lustrous 1080p resolution.

Hey guys,
Fairly new to NetRunner but am loving it. I just recently got my 2nd core set so I can build optimal decks. I start with Anarach and I've stuck with them. Here's the deck I'm running now:
[Ice-Breackers/Run Support]
3x Djinn
3x Datasucker
3x Parasite
2x IMP
1x Crypsis
1x Gordian Blade [3]
1x Yog.0
2x Corroder
2x Mimic
2x Ice Carver
[Card Draw/Support]
3x Wyldside
2x Public Sympathy
3x Test Run [9]
3x Infiltration
1x Magnum Opus [2]
3x Liberated Accounts
3x Armitage Codebusting
3x Sure Gamble
3x Cyberfeeder
1x Easy Mark [1]
This deck is built around Test Run, Wyldside and Djinn. Wyldside seems particularily powerful to me as an engine. You loose an action but each action you DO spend is incredibly efficient. With Public Sympathy out it also negates double Scorched Earth. The number of options you get via your cards in hand offsets the loss of action, I hope. I love the Anarch breakers because they work so nicely with the ICE-strength reduction. Cheap runs!
Concerns I have are: Should I be playing Magnum Opus? If I only have 3 actions per turn is it worth using? Can I just lean on Wyldside to draw me into any of: Codebusting, Liberated Accounts, Sure Gamble? How can I improve my economy?
Is Test Run worth it in a deck with 3 Wyldside? I'll have to add more ICE-Breakers but I will get 9 Influence to spend on other cards. What are the non-Anarch cards I really should be running here?
Thanks for any help/advice in advance.

Who is the term insurance low cost leader?
By Jeff Reed
Kestler Financial Group
American General. As a result of the recent price reduction, they are now the low cost leader in a significant number of cells, leaving some of the carriers who have built their reputation on low term prices behind. The competitive intelligence regarding their pricing is great, and you can see some comparatives here, but what I find more interesting is how this can change the term insurance market on its head.
The aforementioned carriers who have made price and/or compensation their only value proposition may just be in trouble. How so? Quite simply, if they are no longer the low cost leader, and a carrier like American General has risen to the top, why would anyone continue to do business with these other carriers? The compensation at American General is outstanding, their underwriting is certainly easier to deal with, and they have a full suite of products for conversions available in the first five policy years, with a strong IUL available in year six and beyond.
If that isn't enough, then consider this: American General is even more competitive on the mildly rated case. For years, American General has used a special rate class as the table rating base rate. This special rate class is considerably cheaper than their already competitive standard rates. The result is that the increase between a standard policy and one rated two to four tables is significantly less than the competition's. The result is a fantastic price for mildly rated clients.
When you combine all of these factors, American General may be the best place to take your next term case, preferred, standard or otherwise. Solid underwriting, top compensation and industry-leading pricing all combine to make it easier and more profitable to consolidate your term business with a carrier that offers the broadest value proposition in the market.
A word of caution: This does not mean to flood American General with every piece of business you write. Nothing replaces solid field underwriting to drive that case to the best carrier the first time. Barring a known issue where another carrier is known to be superior from an underwriting perspective; however, I think it is time to work smarter with American General.

So another day and another problem with the berry patch. I installed a drip irrigation system this year with the intent to improve my watering of the berry plants. Most of the plants have 1/2 gallon per hour pressure sensitive drippers to even out the water distribution. The problem is that every time I use the system, most of the berry plants end up with yellow leaves near the bottom of the plant. I figured I was over watering but I have timed the water distribution at 20 minutes and skipped a couple of days at a time. Strangely enough, I have hand watered some of these same plants this year from the same water source and didn't have this problem. Any ideas? |

Is your soil sandy? Clay? Over watering can cause the N to leach out of the soil or overwatering especially when mulched can cause root issues. I doubt it is the drippers themselves causing the problem. Can you post a picture of the plants? |
My soil is clay. The rest of the plant seems ok, it's just the bottom couple of leaves. The raspberries seem to take it the worst. Assuming the nitrogen leached away, what's the best way to replace it and reduce the problem from occurring in the future? |
Please do the math: How much water is supplied in 20 minutes by a half-gallon per hour dripper? (Answer: Not much.I.E.: Far too little for a raspberry plant.) A question: How can you determine how much soil has been moistened by one dripper in 20 minutes? Bottom line: You'll need to add more drippers and will need to run the system longer than 20 minutes. |
My mother has clay soils and mine is sand/loam. I transplanted Arapaho and heritage from her house and the difference is remarkable in vigor, overall health and size of berries. Berries like sand, however I've seen wild BlackB's in clay. |

JT, It is just hard to say..if it is too much water especially in clay it could be root issues from being waterlogged......or it could be too dry.or it could need more nitrogen. You will have to investigate a bit. I hate drippers but that is just me. Perhaps try giving a couple plants more nitrogen and see if you notice a change in them compared to the others. |
For an instant answer about moisture content and watering efficacy, check the soil. |
I'm going to throw in with jean001a. Stick your finger in the dirt and follow up with a moisture meter. Once soil crusts over, a slow drip will not penetrate deep enough to reach plant roots. I use a wand at full blast jammed into the soil to deep water my beds. To do otherwise in my locale is to watch plants fail. Don't trust, test. |
- Posted by larry_gene USDA8b-OregonPDX (My Page) on Sat, Jul 20, 13 at 23:30
...the bottom couple of leaves out of how many leaves? It is common once a berry cane has reached shoulder high or taller for the oldest, bottom leaves to yellow or dry up. Once the plants mature and shade each other, the lower leaves can be affected also. The probe the soil for moisture content is good advice. Minutes and rates can have varying effects in different soils or weather spells. If you have small, recent berry starts, your water may be fine; for an established planting in mid-summer, perhaps not enough water. What is the dripper spacing versus the plant spacing? |

Slate is running an interesting new article about an idea known as "Predictive Policing." According to the article, "Predictive policing is based on the idea that some crime is random—but a lot isn't."
"For example, home burglaries are relatively predictable. When a house gets robbed, the likelihood of that house or houses near it getting robbed again spikes in the following days. Most people expect the exact opposite, figuring that if lightning strike once, it won't strike again. 'This type of lightning does strike more than once,' says Brantingham. Other crimes, like murder or rape, are harder to predict. They're more rare, for one thing, and the crime scene isn't always stationary, like a house. But they do tend to follow the same general pattern. If one gang member shoots another, for example, the likelihood of reprisal goes up."
Readers might wonder how this is any different from COMPSAT, and the article addresses that question by suggesting that "[t]he big difference is that CompStat is more retrospective than prospective." Finally, the article also addresses the possible criticism that much of this seems obvious – not revolutionary:
"But isn't a lot of this stuff intuitive? If a crime occurs on a particular block of Compton, can't the LAPD just keep a closer eye on that area in the days after the crime? Sure, says Brantingham, but intuition can take a police officer only so far. In a city as large and complex as Los Angeles, it's hard to perform predictive policing by gut alone. Statistical models may simply confirm police intuition 85 percent or 90 percent of the time. 'It's in the remaining 10 or 15 percent where police intuition may not be quite as accurate,' says Brantingham. Malinowski calls the data 'another tool in the toolbox.'"

Corralito de Piedra is a place with a unique charm that radiates from its colors, the history of its manor houses and its balconies, which have witnessed so much in their time.

Accordion player playing vallenato
Nights in Cartagena de Indias are famous for their romanticism, charm, liveliness, and party atmosphere. Following a tour of the walled city and its surroundings in a horse-drawn carriage or on a chiva (the famous open-sided bus), visitors can delight in Caribbean or international cuisine in a multitude of restaurants, several of which are located on a bastion, in a museum, and in a plaza in front of a seventeenth century church. .
Contagious happiness and warmth.
Son, salsa, and crossover rhythms played by folk music groups or professional musicians may be enjoyed in bars, discos, and even on the bastions. All of these have been part of the settings for countless corporate events and incentive trips.

I decided to jump into Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for the first time since it released. I blew the dust off the old Xbox 360, plugged her in, set up my headset and dove in. We all know the Call of Duty (COD) formula, everyone runs around and tries to shoot everyone else while trying not to get shot themselves. Simple enough, but there seemed to be something different this time. Two words kept popping up with negative connotations, the first was nerd.
I haven't heard the word nerd used negatively in a long time, but it was the go-to-word while I was playing for anyone who was a higher level (and thus had to much time on their hands) and better at the game then the player who was defeated. It didn't seem to matter if the complaining player was level 3 prestige and the offending player 4. Anyone who was deemed as playing to much COD was a nerd.
I had honestly hoped we were passed that, after all just look at the name of this website. When I was in high school, it had almost become a term of endearment between friends, who knew they were obsessed with things that others thought were a waste of time. It was also almost cool to be a nerd. It meant you were interested in technology, the stuff that everyone was finally interested in (even cookie-cutter teenage girls with their iPhones). It meant you were ahead of the curve, you knew about the next cool thing when it was first announced, not when someone showed up at school with it. You knew everything there was to know about the next COD game, while everyone else was speculating, you had hard information to spread. You had been using Xbox Live since the original Xbox. You were the originator, you were, for lack of a better phrase, a pre-hipster hipster.
But, now, we seem to be back to square one. We've started the destruction of the positivity behind the word nerd, geek, or anything else like it from within. Soon the only people using the word positively will be teenage girls who think they look cute in their "nerdy" clothes, while we're sitting on the internet using the word to bash each other and make others feel inferior.
The other word (or really a phrase) that came up every 2 minutes was "try hard". This phrase was used to bash on people who were trying to win in a game of Call of Duty. For example: "Naw, lets not play hardcore mode, it's full of tryhards" or "F**K THAT TRY HARD", or "only try hards use that gun." Simply, it meant that the person was, as the name implies, trying too hard to be good at the game. This really rubbed me the wrong way, isn't the whole point of these games to have fun, isn't it fun to do well? Why are you playing a competitive game when you don't care how well you do? But, I quickly realized that it wasn't bad players calling others try hards, it was the top players. People who were getting 6.0 kill/deaths ratio's. The guys who were using the "cheap" combination of weapons for every level. It was almost always only people obsessed with their k/d, not players just playing for fun like myself.
Wait for it…Back in my day, which is honestly just before online console gaming in general, a phrase like try hard wouldn't have existed. Sure I had friends who were obsessed with doing well in multiplayer games, but never did I show them disrespect for caring. After all, we were all playing these games with each other not only to have fun, but to get better at them, because as we got better and we learned the ins and outs, we were able to all play on the same level. Trying hard was implied in my circle of gaming buddies, people who weren't trying were often considered to be the annoying ones. On top of everything, the fact that the best players were complaining about other good players, was just sad. You're already good at the game, you don't have to pretend like you weren't even trying'.
In all fairness, it's a much more constructive way of insulting someone than saying "F**k you", but the roots of both words are just showing me a coming generation of online players who don't have respect for the thing they're spending hours a day doing. Like a constant high school scenario, anyone who has passion for something should be put down. That begs the question, if you don't have passion in video games, why are you playing them at all?

Racist Mexican Skit Goes Viral {BV Black Spin}
May 12th 2011 2:50PM Not sure if this has been clarified, but he doesn't say he looks like a "full-blown" or, as the translation implies, "purely" Cuban. A "puro" in Spanish is a cigar, so in this case, he is referring to, yes, his coloration. "He looks like a Cuban cigar. When his hair turns white, he'll look like an extinguished cigar".
There are still very few Afro-Mexicans (something which isn't changing, demographically), and this is a Mexican show, not a "Latin American show" Univision is primarily a Mexican channel and caters to a Mexican audience.
As for Mexican/Latinos being racist, living in LA, I can tell you that Blacks have been just as racist to Latinos/Mexicans. The demographic shift to Latino, primarily Mexican, in South LA (South Central) is the primary cause of the tension, with the African American population feeling pushed out of what have been "traditionally Black" neighborhoods. Goes both ways, folks. Just my two cents, probably won't be back to this thread.
