Hi All, These bugs are all over the place ... on almost everything. Thanks in advance |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are these mealybugs? I don't think I have ever seen these. Can you post a close up of one please. |

Wow.......that's really weird. Do they have any other color than brown? What plant are they on? A close-up pic would help. Are they moving, or are they more like eggs? Any adult bugs close by? |
Kudzu bugs? |
- Posted by catherinet 5 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 27, 14 at 16:29
Yep, I think zackey nailed it. Just google some images of kudzu bugs. Never even knew they existed. |
We just happened to have it mentioned in my Master Gardener meeting. |
- Posted by catherinet 5 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 27, 14 at 17:07
Do they prefer to feast on kudzu? I hope so! |
- Posted by frankielynn (My Page) on Sun, Jul 27, 14 at 17:10
They also make a bad smell if disturbed. They will gather in groups in your house during the winter like lady bugs. |

Wow, I've never seen these guys before. |

Lots of funky things are happening, now that man has upset the balance. :( |

From what I have read, these bugs were imported from either India or China or both. They are not some ordinary bug, native to north america that has been genetically or chemically altered in any way. Nor in any other way man made by our meddling. Just nasty hitch hikers. |
Good for you, Zackey! Kudzu bugs are an introduction from India and China, where they infest leguminous plants......as they do here in the Southeast. Look for them on any plant in the Fabaceae family : beans, wisteria, and even kudzu. The image is misleading because these insects are very small. They are related to stinkbugs, which means that they don't chew plants, but suck their juices. People have reported them swarming their homes and getting inside to overwinter. I'd like to see gmanar report the infestation to his/her local extension office. Scientists are trying to keep track of these critters as they find their way to new feeding grounds. Commercially, they have an economic impact on soybeans. |

Thanks everyone. Looks like I have Kudzu bugs. They are all over the beans (different types). Now how do I Thanks for all the help ! Should I just pull out all the beans and not grow beans this year ? Thanks and regards |
Look in your phone book for Dept. of Agriculture. I would hand pick them if you want to be organic. You can put them in a can of soapy water to kill them. Do they fly? |
- Posted by gmanar 7 CLT-NC/ HZ 7 (email@example.com) on Mon, Jul 28, 14 at 12:47
They fly and fly pretty fast :( ... so need to figure out another way. |
- Posted by catherinet 5 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 28, 14 at 13:03
Canadian Lori..........I consider anything hitching a ride because of our insatiable appetites for everything made from anywhere part of "meddling". It's a global world, and now we have tons of exotic invasives.....plants, bugs, animals, etc. I think it gets especially bad when the "invasive" comes from a country of similar zones......which for alot of us is Asia. |
I've read about people vaccumming them off of their plants, but I've never tried it. |
Catherinet, good grief. The world is a small place.....humans have been swapping consumables for centuries. We have also been moving from one part of the world to another; it's only expected that organisms from one part of the world (where they might not be a pest) becomes introduced to another part of the world (where it might run amok). Gmanar, can I assume that you are from Charlotte? If so, just type in 'NC Cooperative Extension' (no quotations) into google. That will take you to the home page from which you can find your County Center. You'll probably find information about the Kudzu Bug in the extension website! |
I believe diotomaceous earth is considered organic, and controls most insects with a hard exoskeleton including stinkbugs - which are a relative of kudzu bugs. It's worth a try. |
- Posted by catherinet 5 (My Page) on Mon, Jul 28, 14 at 15:26
Maybe I'm reacting from having 35 acres filled with invasives. They are totally out of control here and I do miss our natives. Maybe it will all balance out in 1000 years or so. |

In an evening entitled 'Tomorrow' s Leaders: Warriors or Peace Negotiators?' The Capital Club, Dubai's premier private business club and member of the ENSHAA group of companies, welcomed NVP for a discussion that saw internationally acclaimed TV presenter and author, Riz Khan talk to Jan Hellman, one of the founders of the Non-Violence Project, about what is that NVP does, where they came from, and what their plans are for the UAE and the MENA region at large.
Emma Cullen, Capital Club General Manager, commented, "As the central meeting place for Dubai's business community, The Capital Club takes great pride in offering its Members and their guests a diverse and comprehensive business and CSR related programme of events. Ranging from business lunch forums and expert panel discussions to professional workshops and networking opportunities, our events touch on every facet of conducting business in the region. We are also constantly looking for new ways in which to expand our and add value to The Club's membership experience, by creating opportunities for our Members to come into contact with world leading organisations, such as the Non-Violence project."
"With so much focus on the negative in the media today, it is wonderful to be able to contribute to an initiative that is working to encourage positive tangible change. The saying 'children are the future' is often bandied about without much thought; yet it remains true. If we want to create a world of peace, where people are valued and mutual respect reigns, we need to instil these values into children's lives from the earliest instance. The Capital Club is therefore extremely pleased to be able to welcome NVP, and hope that the people of Dubai will join in supporting their work in the region," Ms Cullen added.
Speaking about their expansion into Dubai, Hellman commented, "From Dubai we would like to spread out to the rest of the region. There are a lot of ideas to be changed – fortunately there are also a lot of different ways to help the younger generation understand that there are alternatives to violence."
He went on to remark that it would be wonderful to see Dubai take the lead and become a guiding example of non-violent conflict resolution in the region and the world.
Expressing his support for the Non-Violence Project, Riz Khan said, "When I first came into contact with NVP, I was immediately fascinated, especially since from a media perspective organisations like the Non-Violence Project often slip under the radar. The industry is simply too focused on reporting 'bad news' and the idea of spreading the message of non-violence seems at first glance an intangible ideal. After spending some time with NVP it became clear, however, that the work that they are doing operates on many levels and that it has real potential to make a perceptible difference in people's lives. Dubai has always been very good at setting the example for other to follow and I look forward to the Emirate taking up the non-violence torch and leading the way to lasting peace in the Gulf and the Middle East."
With its symbol 'Non-Violence', the sculpture also known as 'the knotted gun' which was created by the artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd to commemorate the death of John Lennon, the Non-Violence Project's programmes run on three main levels – training teachers, training sports coaches, and most recently training university level students, who in turn then apply that training to run localised programmes among the youth. Through the implementation of their various non-violence focused programmes, they aim create a paradigm shift about violence amongst the younger generation. NVP has over the past twenty years successfully educated and trained more than five million students, teachers, and sports coaches in 20 countries across the globe to embrace non-violent solutions to today's challenges.
When asked what NVP's focus will be in the UAE and the region, Hellman pointed out that today's youth are confronted with violence on a daily basis from and early age, which can skew their perception of the acceptability of violence as a method to solve their problems. NVP's aim is to cause a shift in mindset and encourage children and young adults to find positive ways to deal with their peers and the community at large. He also remarked that multiculturalism, with the conflict and tension that often accompanies interaction between individuals and groups of different cultures, would be one of the topics their programmes will be addressing. Another vital focus point would be bullying, which is one of the biggest issues NVP works with and a problem faced by young people all over the world.
Speaking about NVP's success in addressing these issues across the globe, Hellman commented, "A year ago NVP's bullying programme became mandatory in every middle school in Mexico. We have trained about 25,000 teachers who before the end of 2014 will in turn have trained in the region of 1,000,000 young people in schools all over Mexico on how to effectively resolve conflict in a non-violent way, specifically focussing on bullying and multicultural differences."
Addressing the issue of how NVP would be adapting their programmes to best fit the UAE, the Gulf, and the greater MENA region, Hellman stated, "The message of non-violence is universal. NVP's programmes have run in areas across the world ranging from Scandinavia to Brazil and, even though the on the surface it would appear that these regions are very different, the same core programmes work across the board. There are of course small adaptations that have to be made to better communicate with the youth of each area a programme is run, which is where the input of local schools become vitally important. NVP works closely with the school and sporting communities and when starting in a new area schools are always involved in piloting and testing the NVP programmes."

When Bill Griffeth made the startling discovery that his eight-times great-grandmother was convicted and executed during the Salem witch trials of 1692, he began to research the biggest story of his life: the four-hundred-year history of his family and of our country's Protestant roots. Griffeth's account includes not only the stories of his long-forgotten relatives but also of some of their neighbors and colleagues whom history still remembers, including Plymouth's great governor William Bradford, New Amsterdam's swashbuckling director general Peter Stuyvesant, the infamous Salem witch trial judge Colonel John Hathorne, and the stout hearted Methodist bishop Francis Asbury.

Ice Energy Sets Sights on Northeastern Region
Ice Energy, a provider of distributed energy storage and smart grid solutions, and Verde Energy USA Holdings, a retail energy supplier, formed a strategic business alliance that includes a cooperation agreement between the two companies.
A spokesman for Ice Energy says the company, which manufactures thermal energy storage units, will benefit from Verde's business relationships in the northeastern part of the country. The partnership will also allow Verde to market energy efficient building products at competitive pricing.
An affiliate of Ice Energy is also making a minority equity investment in Verde, but terms of the equity investment were not disclosed.
Ice Energy, formerly based in Windsor, Colo., recently relocated its headquarters to Glendale, Calif. The move came after Ice Energy completed installation of 1.5 MW of Ice Bear energy storage units as part of Glendale Water & Power's US Department of Energy-supported smart grid project.
Ice Bear energy storage systems are paired with commercial air conditioning units to regulate the timing of air conditioning, reducing peak demand.
As part of its long-term capital investment plan, Glendale Water & Power is currently evaluating the installation of an additional 10 MW in Ice Bear energy storage capacity.

The power of word processing
A reliable word processing application is a basic computing requirement. We'll show you how to get started with OpenOffice.org's Writer.
For many users, daily computing means writing and editing documents in one form or another, so a decent word processor is an essential tool for their work. Although other word processors are available for Linux, such as AbiWord and KWord, they are no match for OpenOffice.org Writer, a heavy-duty word processor that you can use for pretty much anything. From simple letters and invoices to books and mail merge documents, Writer handles all these tasks equally well.

Welcome to the future of revenue. It's here. It's here now. And it's called Revenue Performance Management, or RPM for those who like acronyms.
Eloqua CMO Brian Kardon recently blogged about his thoughts on RPM. But here's another look at the sector, and where it fits into the context of the great innovations of the past century. We call this video, the "Future of Revenue" (#FoR). Special thanks go out for our friends at JESS3 for their remarkable, "School House Rock"-inspired creative.
With this video, we aim to turn upside down the traditional category-creation model. Historically, marketers have followed a top-down model when creating a new sector. They sponsor research to be published by industry analysts, and, in time, that terminology permeates buyers. Eloqua, however, is taking a bottom-up approach. We are combining fresh creative with real-world success stories to (hopefully) inspire a groundswell of interest in the category. Much to our pleasure, other marketing automation vendors are following our lead and joining this space, further validating its importance.
Ultimately, visibility into the pipeline, predictive analytics, and repeatable drivers of revenue growth are not only the hallmarks of RPM, they are also the mile markers on Eloqua's technology and service roadmap. Those who attend Eloqua Experience 2010 (#EE10SF) later this month will hear much, much more about what RPM can do for their business, and how Eloqua can help make it happen.
In the meantime, if you want to learn more about the future of revenue, enjoy our microsite, which aggregates discussions about revenue from across the social Web. There you will also find links to companion videos, such as the viral State of The Internet by JESS3.

Pressure Builds for Infrastructure Outlays
WASHINGTON -- Business and labor groups are ramping up a lobbying campaign to persuade President-elect Barack Obama and the next Congress to back a huge boost in infrastructure spending in an effort to create jobs and kick-start economic growth.
These interest groups have increased their investments in Washington. The general-contracting sector, for example, gave $22.6 million of political donations during the 2007-08 election cycle, a 22% increase from the 2006 election.
The construction lobby is asking Congress to quickly approve $18 billion for highways and bridges and an additional $10 billion for water-infrastructure projects. Railroads want new tax incentives to add track to ease congestion at choke points. The aviation industry wants to boost a federal program for runway construction. And telecommunications firms want tax breaks to expand broadband service, while electric utilities want incentives to modernize the transmission grid.
The lobbying push comes as a broad economic-stimulus bill with $13 billion of transportation spending appears headed for a defeat in Congress this week. Advocates of infrastructure spending are seizing on everything from rising unemployment to last year's bridge collapse in Minneapolis to argue for outlays for various projects.
"We are driving infrastructure to the top of the agenda," said Janet Kavinoky of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who appeared with an ally from the United Steelworkers union Tuesday at a forum sponsored by the Campaign for America's Future, a left-leaning think tank.
Industry lobbyists say economic turmoil and the government's bailout of other market sectors has given them hope for success. Many feel there will be more emphasis on public-works funding next year, once Democrats are in charge of the White House and Congress.
"As a general rule, Democrats are inclined to be more favorably disposed to infrastructure investment as an economic stimulus than Republicans," said Todd Hauptli, a lobbyist for the American Association of Airport Executives.
Infrastructure proponents aren't counting on any quick fix next year. Among the obstacles they face: a federal deficit that could hit $1 trillion next year alone and a raft of competing policy proposals.
Congress is also due to take up a six-year highway bill that could carry a $500 billion price tag. Debate on that legislation could pit lobbyists for other modes of transportation, such as railroads, against supporters of more spending on roads.
Looming over it all is the question of how to pay for a big wave of public works. Gasoline-tax receipts, the main source of federal transportation dollars, have been falling this year as Americans cut back on driving. A commission created by Congress this year recommended more than doubling gas taxes from the current 18.4 cents a gallon. But Mr. Obama and his aides steered well clear of advocating any increase during the campaign.
Meanwhile, some of those pushing to increase infrastructure spending fear the next White House might choose other priorities -- such as narrowing the budget deficit or opting for other forms of stimulus spending.
"The election of Obama offers opportunity. It doesn't guarantee anything," Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.) said Tuesday, cautioning transportation lobbyists against overconfidence.
If lobbyists succeed in getting something approaching what Democratic Rep. Lynn Woolsey of California on Tuesday called "a new New Deal," it will be a significant shift. Over the past couple of years, construction lobbies have repeatedly failed to get lawmakers to approve big increases in infrastructure spending. Their only recent success was getting Congress in September to put $8 billion into the rapidly depleting Highway Trust Fund, the main source of federal transportation dollars.
"There is a lot of pent up demand," Mr. Hauptli said.

"The photosynthesis society" is not a new scientific organization, but rather a description of the "society" of molecules that come together to carry out a complex task such as photosynthesis. Klaus Schulten, Professor of Physics at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, recently came to Georgia Tech to explain the inner workings of this society from the atomic level on up.

Massive flooding in the area combined with near record temperatures brought us on a family walk to an area a few inches above the flood, or maybe yesterday the area was actually underwater. Looking down at a bare patch of dirt in the grass I spied a worm egg right in the center. It was bigger than my red wigglers. The area at night is probably is a nightcrawler bonanza. The flood somehow had the egg at the surface, or maybe the 3 inch patch of dirt in the grass was the filled in burrow of a nightcrawler. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I guess you DO have eagle eyes!! LOL I went out and looked to see how much worm cast piles are in the lawn and was pleasantly surprised. But never would have noticed an egg. |

With the 7/24 electronic news media so hungry for 'news', how about puting your MYSTERY WORM EGG online? The pathos of a 'mother/father' worm throwing its egg out of the way of the flood. It will be a sensation![not to mention your own heroic part in the rescue] You've no doubt seen the video of Molly the mother owl,hatching her eggs. It was on the front page of our newspaper and every TV news program. http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox |

Stay away from asthma triggers
Stay away from asthma triggers
It is important to know what things make your asthma worse. These are called asthma "triggers." Avoiding them is your first step toward feeling better.
Our homes can be filled with asthma triggers. Some of these are in the air we breathe, some are in our furniture and carpets, and some are on our pets.
Stay Away from Smoking
If you smoke, ask your doctor or nurse to help you quit. No one should smoke in your house. This includes you, your visitors, your child's babysitters, and anyone else who comes to your house.
Smokers should smoke outside and wear a coat. The coat will keep smoke particles from sticking to their clothes. They should leave the coat outside, or away from the child.
Ask people who work at your child's day care, preschool, school, and anyone else who takes care of your child, if they smoke. If they do, make sure they smoke away from your child. Stay away from restaurants and bars that allow smoking. Or, ask for a table as far away from smokers as possible.
When pollen levels are high:
- Stay indoors and keep doors and windows closed. Use an air conditioner if you have one.
- Save outside activities for late afternoon or after a heavy rain.
- Wear a face mask while you are doing outdoor activities.
- Do not dry clothes outdoors. Pollen will stick to them. Have someone who does not have asthma cut the grass, or wear a face mask if you must do it.
Dust Mites
You can take several steps to limit exposure to dust mites.
- Wrap mattresses, box springs, and pillows with mite-proof covers.
- Wash bedding and pillows once a week in hot water (130° F to 140° F).
- If you can, get rid of upholstered furniture. Try to use wooden, leather, or vinyl.
- Keep indoor air dry. Try to keep the humidity level lower than 50%.
- Wipe dust with a damp cloth and vacuum once a week. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter.
- Replace wall-to-wall carpet with wood or other hard flooring.
- Keep stuffed toys off the beds, and wash them weekly.
- Replace slatted blinds and cloth draperies with pull-down shades. They will not collect as much dust.
- Keep closets clean, and keep closet doors closed.
Mold Spores
Keeping indoor humidity at less than 50% will keep mold spores down. Keep sinks and tubs dry and clean, and fix leaky pipes. Empty and wash the refrigerator tray that collects water from the freezer defroster often.
Use an exhaust fan in the bathroom when you are showering. Do not let damp clothes sit in a basket or hamper.
Clean or replace shower curtains when you see mold on them. Check your basement for moisture and mold. Use a dehumidifier to keep the air dryer.
You can do a lot to eliminate exposure to mold inside and outside of your home.
Pets Can Make Asthma Worse
Keep pets outside, if possible. If pets stay inside, keep them:
- Out of bedrooms
- Off upholstered furniture
- Off of carpets
Wash your pet once a week.
If you have a central air conditioning system, use a HEPA filter to remove pet allergens from indoor air. Use a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filters.
Wash your hands and change your clothes after playing with your pet.
Cockroaches and Rodents
Keep kitchen counters clean and free of food crumbs. Do not leave dirty dishes in the sink. Keep food in closed containers.
Do not let trash pile up inside. This includes bags, newspapers, and cardboard boxes.
Use roach traps. Wear a dust mask and gloves if you touch or are near rodents.
Other Triggers to Watch out for
Do not use wood-burning fireplaces. If you need to burn wood, use an air-tight wood-burning stove.
Do not use perfumes or scented cleaning sprays. Use trigger sprays instead of aerosols.

Spanish Fort (1)
Fort Calendar | Fort Blogs |
Spanish Fort (1) (1780-178?, 1864-1865) - A Spanish colonial post first established in 1780 by Bernardo de Galvez in the present day town of Spanish Fort, Baldwin County, Alabama. Abandoned sometime in the 1780s. Later part of Complex of Confederate fortifications established in 1864 during the U.S. Civil War. Captured by Union forces and abandoned in 1865. Also known as Old Spanish Fort (2).
Revolutionary War (1775-1783)
A Spanish colonial post first established in 1780 by Bernardo de Galvez on the east bank of the present day Blakeley River at the town of Spanish Fort, Baldwin County, Alabama. British and Hessian troops from Fort George (9) at Pensacola with their Indian Allies attempted to take the fort 3 Jan 1781. The Spanish garrison turned away the attackers with heavy losses to both sides. Galvez then mounted a counter attack on Pensacola, laying siege to the city from 27 Apr 1781 to 9 May 1781. Galvez bombarding the British Fort George (9) from his newly constructed Fort San Bernardo on higher ground. The British surrendered after Spanish cannons blew up a powder magazine in one of the outlying redoubts, killing most of the defenders. The fall of Pensacola left the British without a major harbor on the gulf coast greatly aiding the American revolutionary war cause. Abandoned sometime in the 1780s.
U.S. Civil War (1861-1865)
The old Spanish fort was part of a complex of fortifications created in 1864-65 during the U.S. Civil War in the defense of Mobile against Union forces. Spanish fort was also the name of the complex as well as the old Spanish fortification and the town. Other fortifications in the complex were Red Fort and Fort McDermott connected by earthworks and gun batteries.
A Union attack on the fortifications began on 27 Mar 1865 and lasted for 13 days. The Union troops numbered about 30,000 against some 2,500 Confederate troops. The fortifications were abandoned by the confederate defenders on the night of 8-9 Apr 1865. Most of the Confederate troops fled across the river and toward Fort Blakeley and when Union troops stormed the fortifications on the 9th they found empty positions and spiked guns. The U.S. Civil War effectively ended on that same day with General Robert E. Lee surrendering at Appomattox Court House around 4 pm. The battle at Spanish Fort shifted to the Battle at Fort Blakeley later that day.

Competitions in flower arrangement and vegetable carving to be held
KOCHI: Over 8,000 flowering and evergreen plants will be laid out as a massive carpet at Marine Drive Grounds for six days from Wednesday, as part of the 26th Cochin Flower Show.
Of this, over 2,500 will be rose varieties. The event has been organised by the Ernakulam District Agri-Horticultural Society and will conclude on Monday. A huge pandal spread over a 1.30-lakh square feet area was being readied at the ground, said District Collector A.P.M. Mohammed Hanish while addressing mediapersons here on Monday. Agricultural produce and implements too will be on show. Many of the regular viewers were farmers from the eastern parts of Ernakulam and nearby districts, he added. Spices Board Chairman V.J. Kurien will inaugurate the show.
A special attraction will be the participation of an Italian firm, which will put up a collection of ornamental plants. Three hundred fresh-flower arrangements will be laid out over a 10,000-square feet area. Landscaping is being carried out in a 1,500 square feet area to guide owners of houses and apartments on the designs for landscaping their premises. Bonsai plants too will be on show, some of them over a century old. Apart from individuals and nurseries, the Kerala Books and Publications Society, the Cochin Port Trust and the Cochin Shipyard are among the institutions that will participate.
The show will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 9 p.m. each day. The entry rates are Rs.20 for elders and Rs.10 for children. It will go up to Rs.30 for elders, after 4 p.m. This measure has been introduced to prevent formation of huge queues at the venue, as many had to return without seeing the show last year. "Over a lakh people had visited the stalls in the 2007 event," Mr. Hanish said.
Competitions will be held for fresh as well as dry-flower arrangements and vegetable carving. Friday will witness children aged 3 to 10 years competing for the flower prince and princess titles. Each day, cultural events and musical shows will be held from 6 p.m. and cine actor Bhama will inaugurate the programmes on Wednesday.

New initiatives helping shape BPS turnaround
November, 26, 2011
By Eitan Tye | ESPNBoston.com
Brendan Hall/ESPNBoston.com ESPN's RISE UP series breathed new life into Dorchester Academy's fledgling athletics program when it paid a visit two months ago.
ROXBURY, Mass. -- "Get that homework out, we ain't sittin' on no luxury chairs today!"
It's 10 a.m. on a Saturday at the Vine Street Community Center in Roxbury, and hulking basketball coach Larry Merritt is taking no excuses.
"Tell them if they're done with their homework, they can get a book to read. Write down the names of the kids who say they got nothing to do, some of them are repeat offenders."
Upon hearing Merritt's booming pronouncement, twenty pairs of eyes shift nervously to the floor as worksheets and textbooks begin to line the table. Careful to avoid the ire of their intimidating coach, the pre-teen boys start working on their assignments, under the watchful eyes of several volunteer tutors.
Merritt's AAU basketball program, called Meritting Attention, is just one of a host of athletic initiatives complementing ESPN's recent Rise Up project, helping Boston students succeed both on the field and in the classroom.
This past summer, ESPN identified Dorchester and TechBoston Academies, both of whom used the same dilapidated public field, as candidates for an athletic facility renovation courtesy of the network's 'Rise Up' program. According to ESPN High School editor Margaret Myers, the station "contacted school authorities and the city of Boston, finding community contractors and local businesses who wanted to help with the project." Volunteers from construction companies around the city re-sodded the baseball fields at Roberts Playground, installed a new walking path, and put in lighting and fencing to increase safety. Workers also built a new cardio room inside the school, and constructed a women's locker room.
Although the final unveiling of the transformed facilities received great publicity and was the subject of a September 27 special on ESPN, the recent renovation has only served as one small part of renewed academic and athletic progress at Boston's public high schools. Local initiatives such as Meriting Attention, the Boston Scholar-Athlete Program, and Red Bull's "Boston's got Wings" project, have combined with Rise Up to lift achievement among the city's student-athletes.
Building from the ground up
Merritt described his organization as Boston's "out of school time student-athlete program," and sums up the club's entire philosophy with his slogan, "we study before we play."
"Students must be doing well in the classroom in order to participate in our program," Merritt explained. "We hold tutoring and homework sessions before all of our practices, and all participants must have an 'action plan' in order to improve academically."
In addition to coaching AAU teams for children in grades three to 11, Merritt holds Saturday morning basketball camps before the season starts. Since he frequently uses BPS facilities for homework sessions, practices, and games, the coach was quick to emphasize the universal value of Rise Up's facility restoration in Dorchester.
"The renovations have brought a new life to the world of sports for the entire Dorchester Educational Complex community," Merritt said. "Having quality facilities to play on is huge for inner-city kids. Normally, they would have to travel to the suburbs to experience a game on state of the art facilities."
Merritt's program combines basketball instruction with academic tutoring and leadership development, and the coach assures that "each student-athlete will understand the importance of being a student in the classroom first, and then a student of the game."
Most importantly, however, Merritt believes in the power of athletics as a springboard to achievement.
"Sports are a necessity for youth in general," he said. "If kids are in good athletic programs, they should be able to encompass all the life-skills that they need to be successful."
Jamal Allen, a recent graduate of Merritting Attention, exemplifies the coach's sentiments.
"Larry's program helped me improve academically," he said. "It gave me the confidence to ask for help and succeed at school."
Allen has since enrolled in Lincoln Middle School as part of the METCO Program, and stars on the school's basketball team. He plans on attending Lincoln-Sudbury High School next fall.
Allen also highlighted Merritt's role in supporting the community.
"Larry brings them together to do something productive, instead of spending time at home watching TV or wasting time on the streets," he said.
Volunteer mentor and Boston International senior Jesse Barbosa agreed, pointing out that the program "takes kids from [dangerous areas] and helps them do something that they really like and are interested in."
"Larry is helping to build a stronger community," she said.
Academic success through athletics
Elementary and middle-school aged children make up the vast majority of Meritting Attention's players, and those who don't later receive scholarships to private secondary schools must navigate the BPS system. However, the Boston-Scholar Athlete program (BSA), implemented in 2009 as a result of a Boston Globe article condemning the state of high school sports in the city, has made an effort to increase athletic participation and eligibility.
Partnering with Boston mayor Thomas Menino and the BPS, Suffolk Construction CEO John Fish pledged an unprecedented $5 million over five years to "support academic achievement through athletics."
As of the 2011-12 school year, the BSA has established academic "Zones" in all 19 Boston public high schools, complete with outside tutors and work stations equipped with computers and graphing calculators. In addition, the BSA sponsors numerous showcasing events to increase exposure for star athletes, and has made several equipment and facility improvements throughout the city.
"We know through research that there exists a direct correlation between participation in athletics and academic achievement," said Evan Davis, the BSA's executive director. "Our goal is to help make athletic programs in BPS schools as attractive as possible, and to get as many kids playing sports as possible."
By all accounts, the BSA program has been successful. Participation in fall athletics has increased by three percent since 2009, and almost 3,200 student-athletes are currently enrolled in Zones across Boston. In addition, graduation rates in the city's high schools are at an all-time high, with 63.2 percent of students graduating on-time in 2010, up 1.8 percent since the implementation of the BSA program.
Barbosa, an avid softball player, described how the new Zone in her school has helped initiate academic improvement.
"[Before the Zones] Many kids didn't participate in athletics because they didn't think it was worth it," she said. "But as time went by, they decided to give it a chance because there were new programs to help them academically. Participating in athletics became a way for kids to help get their grades up, and they became eligible to do things that they really liked, such as sports." (Depending on the school, BPS students currently need between a 1.67 and 2.5 GPA to compete in athletics.)
The BSA also gave students at English High School in Jamaica Plain the support system they needed to meet the school's landmark new GPA requirement of 2.5 to participate in sports. Barry Robinson, the athletic director and boys' basketball coach at English, explained that the school needed to raise the athletic prerequisite from a 1.67 because "when the season was over, the players' interest level in school went down. Most of the time, they were just getting by and doing the minimum to get a 1.67."
Robinson emphasized that the BSA "really, really helps [the school] out." The student-athletes benefit from the "laptops and tutors" in English's Zone, and the BSA has allowed coaches to "look at students' grades on a daily basis and monitor their progress in class," he said. The program has even let Robinson establish a four hour Saturday study hall for student-athletes in the school's Zone.
"The students need the extra support," he said. "It's not as if they leave on Friday, and we don't see them again until Monday morning."
Additionally, Barbosa explained that at Boston International, "many teachers volunteer to be in the Zone, which gives kids more contact with them and lets them feel more comfortable asking for help."
"Kids are getting more focused," she said. "The number of students who did really well on MCAS exams has increased a lot."
From 2009 to 2010, Boston International High School saw a 47 percent improvement in passing scores for English, and a 10 percent increase in Math.
"With the BSA program, kids have found some kind of spark within themselves and have decided to stay focused on school," Barbosa said. "Most have graduated and are now in college. Many students are just trying to find a hand to hold onto, so they can succeed."
She recounted the story of one mentor in particular, Aly Azor, who has risen above and beyond his obligations to make sure students at Boston International feel cared for.
"Mr. Azor is always there for us," she said. "Even when we are not in the Zone, he shows that he cares and that he is going to be there for us. He always has his hands open to support us."
Barbosa explained that Azor, who graduated from Boston College in 2009, monitors the progress of student-athletes both inside and outside the Zone, and can frequently be seen smiling from the stands at games. In addition, Boston International headmaster Nicole Bahnam added that Azor's frequent "homework sessions" and "SAT prep classes" have had "a great impact on the men and women" of her school.
Tutors like Azor are said to exemplify the qualities that the BSA hopes to instill in all BPS' volunteers and coaches. In order to meet this goal, the program offers a free professional development course for all high school coaches in the city in addition to their student-based projects. The BSA Coaches Academy, as the program is called, "has helped coaches increase their skills in working on and off the court with student-athletes," Merritt explained.
"Having coaches who are passionate about kids and competent about the sport in which they are coaching will help the kids stay in BPS schools," he said.
Justin Rice, founder of the website BPSsports.com, shared Merritt's opinion about the importance of capable coaches.
"Athletics in urban schools sometimes serve as a double-edged sword for disadvantaged youth if schools don't have the proper support systems in place to put sports in context for students," he said. "Without solid coaches to promote a healthy sports environment, many students start to think that athletics are all about flashy dunks and fancy dribbling, and believe that they are destined to become NBA players."
Rice made clear that when only 0.15 percent of high school athletes make it to the professional level (according to the NCAA), sports can sometimes give students "a sense of false hope" without qualified coaches to put athletics in perspective.
"The more education coaches receive, the better," he said.
Boston celebrity gives back
Complementing the BSA's model of identifying and renovating deteriorating public athletic facilities, Celtics star Rajon Rondo decided to launch his "Boston's Got Wings" program at the beginning of the last NBA season.

Andrew McFarland/Jamaica Plain PatchAs part of the Boston's Got Wings program, Rajon Rondo raised more than $80,000 for the extensive restoration of 13 courts within five city parks.
Cesar Adim, a ninth grade Boston resident and basketball standout at Xaverian Brothers High School in Westwood, has witnessed firsthand the positive impact that the newly restored courts have had on the city's young players.
"The renovations have given the kids around Boston a better, safer place to play," he said. "They aren't slipping on the court all the time, and the courts are not all messed up like they used to be."
Last August, at the opening ceremony of the newly revamped courts at Malcolm X Park, Rondo echoed Adim's reaction to Dime Magazine: "Having a place to play is very big. Anything for kids, I'm all with, and for."
Rondo also explained to the magazine that the Boston's Got Wings project "means a lot" to him, as a kid who was raised in inner-city Louisville.
Still a long road ahead
Nearly all the constructive initiatives recently put into operation around the city have been privately financed, and there remain numerous unfunded athletic needs within the BPS. Even with the substantial improvements made possible by Rise Up, the BSA, and Boston's Got Wings, athletic facilities in many city schools are still decrepit.
Only six of the 19 BPS high schools have their own football fields; the rest are forced to play chronically under-attended "home" games in Jamaica Plain's White Stadium. Once spring rolls around, nearly all the city's baseball players will find themselves competing in public parks, with some teams, such as Boston International's squad, hosting games as far as five miles from where they go to class. Consequently, the public schools appear an unattractive option to Boston's most gifted athletes, many of whom are offered scholarships to one of the copious New England prep schools with powerhouse sports programs.
"BPS athletics have very talented athletes, but the challenge is that the private schools have better facilities," Merritt said. "It's like comparing apples to oranges when a family is asked to make a decision between a state of the art facility, and a facility that needs a make over. Prep and private schools use their facilities as the recruiting hook when they invite candidates on their campus."
Antonio Menefve, a member of the New Mission High School basketball team in Roxbury, helped his team bring home the Division 2 State Championship last year. But the team still practices on a rented floor at the Tobin Community Center, because the school lacks its own gymnasium.
Barbosa, however, explained that her school lacks the resources for students to even participate in the city's most popular sport.
"We are trying to start a basketball team, but the gym is too small," she said. "It brings down hope for kids that are interested in basketball. Getting every public school the same facilities and equipment would make the community stronger."
Robinson said that in spite of the BSA implementation, some "parents think the grass is greener on the other side." They believe that private schools will help their children "focus better, and concentrate on academics," he said.
Reflecting the feelings of some Boston-area parents, Menefve maintained that the most urgent problem affecting his school is that "kids are not being pushed hard enough to become true student-athletes."
"The BSA motivates some kids, and is giving students a chance to succeed, but I would go one step further and push up the athletic GPA requirement [at New Mission] from a C-minus to a B," he said.
According to the Boston Globe and the BPS Superintendent's Office, the city has actually cut the school athletic budget from $3.9 million in 2009 to $2.7 million for the 2012 Fiscal Year. When queried on the issue, Mathew Wilder, the Director of Media Relations for BPS, admitted that Boston schools "have a limited budget and are not able to do this work alone."
"When you have so much money going into education, and such great emphasis on standardized test scores, you have to look for athletic funding elsewhere," Merritt said. "Educating kids is so expensive."
Wilder said the BPS athletic programs have largely been able to survive the budget shortfall because "good partners like Suffolk Construction have stepped up to the plate to help our students." But city schools still have a long way to go in developing new facilities and keeping kids academically motivated. The quality of athletics and academics in BPS schools have so far managed to improve considerably in an era of financial cuts, but it will take years to fully asses the city's progress.
Most of the progress to date has been made possible because a coalition of large corporations such as Red Bull, ESPN, and Suffolk Construction, have aligned with local volunteers and together built a foundation for achievement in the city's public schools. By helping to mentor student-athletes and renovate athletic facilities in Boston's inner-city, this partnership has started to "put in time to make the community better," as Dorchester teenager Earl Stephens explained.
The companies have also helped to inspire a new wave of change -- from students at Dorchester and TechBoston Academies fixing up a neighborhood playground as part of Rise Up's corporate outreach program, to Zone members in the BSA's community initiative participating in local service projects. Although conditions in city schools remain nowhere near perfect, each selfless act, whether a complete overhaul of a playing field, or the simple step of showing up to a game, will continue to fortify the Boston community and increase athletic and academic opportunities for local children.
The experience of the Dorchester Bears Varsity football team, a beneficiary of the Rise Up program, epitomizes the continuing efforts of city charities and volunteers to improve athletic conditions for Boston's youth. Even though the Bears currently reside at the bottom of the Boston City League standings and still play home games at White Stadium, nearly 3 miles away from their newly renovated school facilities, the players feel a new sense of preparedness and drive to succeed as a result of ESPN's support.
"The Rise Up program has given us more hope," said senior quarterback and captain Michael Belifore. "We were coming off of a 3-7 season from last year, and we have been doing much better (the Bears are 4-3 so far in 2011); we stepped our game up. Everything they have done has benefited our season in a huge way, including the new weight room so we could get stronger, and the new track so we could condition.
"Even though 'Rise Up' is gone, we all still have that sense of pride because out of many schools, they chose ours, so its kind feels as if they never left. Even though they did little with the field, next year [the city] will be inserting turf and making it look more like a stadium. I think that [the project] was successful because it gave me more hope, showing me that anything is possible."
Jillian Smith, the athletic director at TechBoston Academy, home of Bears athletics, accurately summed up the present state of BPS athletics when describing the atmosphere of her school.
"Programs like Rise Up and the BSA have provided a steppingstone to get athletics at our school where they need to be," she said. "But we're not there yet. Despite the renovations, we still lack our own full-length field. Students at TechBoston would like nothing more than to eventually play home football and soccer games under the lights, with teachers and friends cheering them on."
Overall, however, Smith maintained that the projects "have let kids know that we care about what they are doing, and want to help them succeed."
Buckling down
It's 11 a.m. at the community center, and the sound of excited giggling engulfs the first floor as twenty kids sprint up the stairs to the basketball court. Study hall is over, and it's time to play ball.
The boys split up into two lines, each eagerly awaiting his chance to demonstrate a perfectly executed left-handed lay-up for the beaming coach at center court. Balls careen off the backboard as one by one the players twirl and leap, awkwardly attempting to complete the most subtly difficult of basketball plays.
Soon enough, the drills come to an end and the scrimmage finally begins. For these few minutes, there is no violence, no drugs, and each child is free to exalt in the supreme joy of competition.
But noon comes all too quickly. Time for the kids to stop playing.
"Don't forget your homework next week," Merritt reminds them.

I have a butterfly bush that has kept its leaves all through the winter. I know people say to cut it back to about 1 foot above the ground before spring. Is this something I should do even though the bush has never lost its leaves?
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I heve about nine. Many are about 14 feet tall and I usually cut them back to about 6 feet. I like them large and bushy and they always produce plenty of flowers. I,m not an expert on this matter however. In my neighborhood we had some fairly decent sized bushes that were cut back to about a foot and after three years they are still struggling to grow back. I add fertilizer and give them water when it's extra hot and they are gorgeous. |
Mine doesn't lose it's leaves, but I cut it way back every spring anyway. Mine is planted in a place where I have to have some control of it---cutting it back every year so it has to start over is the only way to do that. If you are lucky, and yours a growing in an open space, just let them grow. They will do fine either way. |

Wish I'd cut mine back last fall - the January winds knocked it over. I pulled it back upright and tied it to a couple of stakes, then a February wind came along and knocked it over in a different direction... half of it is now dead and I'm afraid the rest will go when I try to straighten it out again. If you don't have wind or hard freezes to worry about, you don't have to cut it back. Around here (Mendocino) there are lots of really tall ones that never get cut back. |
