FORT COLLINS, Colo. - On Tuesday afternoon the Colorado State women's tennis team was defeated by in-state foe Northern Colorado 5-2.
The Rams (3-12, 0-5), who played singles without their No. 1 player Natalie Heffron, battled tooth and nail down until the end. After earning the doubles point thanks to the dangerous combinations of Natalie Heffron and Adriana Wojakowska and seniors Kaley Schultz and Lauren Pick, the Rams had a chance to seal the match.
In singles, sophomores Mollie Cooper and Maddie Buxton gave UNC fits. Cooper dropped her first set 6-4 and was trailing in the second set 3-4, before winning two consecutive games. Cooper's opponent, Chrissie Hoolahan, won the next three games and led 6-5. Cooper sent the match into a tie breaker in the second set with a decisive win in the sets 12th game. In the end, Hoolahan was too much and won the tie breaker 7-3.
On the adjacent court, Buxton, who also dropped her first set, battled to win the second, and forced a third. Ultimately, Buxton was defeated 6-2.
Rams' junior Adriana Wojakowska picked up CSU's lone victory in singles.
Back in October, 2013, when these two teams matched up in the Colorado State Invitational, UNC's Adriana Nieto defeated Wojakowska 6-7 (3), 7-5, 1-0 (6). It was a revenge match on Tuesday for Wojakowska as she defeated Nieto 6-4, 6-1.
"Adriana (Wojakowska) has, No. 1 improved, and No. 2 because of the injuries we've had in the lineup she has had to play high, which has gotten her really good experience," Messick said. "I think she was prepared both with her game and her confidence."
The Rams will return to conference competition on Saturday as they take on rival Wyoming at 2 p.m. The Cowgirls enter Saturday's match with a 9-7 overall record, 3-1 in Mountain West play and are riding a two-match win streak.

To Sex or Not To Sex
By eleanore on April 21, 2011
As I'm writing this, I'm a little amused that my girlfriends and I are still discussing when to have sex with a new guy. But the other night, I had a long conversation with a good friend who was near tears because the man she slept with a couple of weeks ago has not called since. Yep, at this age we're still having this conversation.
I have this conversation quite a bit and for some reason, I'm usually the one giving the advice. I say "for some reason," but I actually know the reason: I've been single all my life, am good at dating, and I feel like I've got this aspect of dating all figured out. There are other parts of dating life that I don't always get -— like the way men want you to need them but don't want you to be needy -— but this one I do. So I'm going to take this opportunity to share with the many single women out there what I know about how to make the decision to roll around naked with the New Guy for the first time.
That's right. A decision tree, for this not-usually-rational decision. When you have to make an important decision at work, you generally think about it ahead of time and seriously weigh the different outcomes. You don't decide at the last minute. This decision should be no different.
Here's a scenario. You're at a bar/party/conference/car wash/restaurant ... wherever. You and "Scott" strike up a conversation and seem to hit it off. There's lots of laughing, flirting, and witty conversation. At some point it becomes clear to both of you that you may want to dial things up a bit, either right now or very soon.
The "sex too soon" thing is something that only women grapple with. I've never heard a guy wonder how "when to have sex" will impact the relationship-that-is-yet-to-be. But the world's not fair -— we already know that. Follow my advice, though, and it should help you avoid getting your feelings hurt.
The thought process is not a straight line, though. It's more of a schematic. So pay attention, and be honest with yourself.
The first thing to ask yourself is: "What do I want from this guy?" (Caution: if you're feeling really lonely, you probably should skip this exercise completely. Sex-because-you're-lonely will probably make you feel even lonelier afterwards).
Once you decide what you want, you can decide your next course of action.
This is by no means foolproof. But I think it's a pretty reasonable facsimile of the way things shake out much of the time. Go ahead and do your thing ... and let me know if it works for you.

Navidea Biopharmaceuticals' CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
We have a strong product in Lymphoseek. Lymphoseek has demonstrated encouraging clinical performance not only against the requisite and valid comparator required for U.S. registration, vital blue dye, but also against recognized current standards of care consisting of blue dye plus radiolabeled colloids. The Lymphoseek PDUFA date remains on track. Lymphoseek is used in lymph node mapping procedures that are already widely performed in surgical oncology. This is not a new practice. We believe we are well positioned to address this market with an outstanding partner in the U.S., Cardinal Health.
Our partnership with Cardinal Health provides attractive economics to both organizations through our revenue sharing agreement on Lymphoseek sales with mutual incentives to perform to the best of our capabilities. Lymphoseek has attractive cost of goods and gross margins, which we believe will facilitate promising net cash flows to Navidea.
In fact, the gross margins on our portion of Lymphoseek revenues are expected to be approximately 75% to 80%, meaning that about 35% to 40% of end customer revenue drops to Navidea's EBITDA, an encouraging pre-tax return. There are clear avenues to reimbursement for Lymphoseek in the U.S., initially through a statutory pass-through code meaning there are established well recognized Medicare, Medicaid procedures for payment for the agent.
We have also advanced and diversified our pipeline of late stage assets. Over the course of the last eight months, we have not only made important progress with our two oncology agents, Lymphoseek and RIGS, but also added two potential best-in-class candidates in the neuroimaging space, 4694 and CFT, providing us with two premier franchises. Encouraging findings for 4694 continue to be generated in Phase II.
We are looking forward to commencing our own Phase IIb study later this quarter and to beginning Phase III in early 2013. We are addressing important medical needs in large markets including cancer, Alzheimer's disease and dementia, and Parkinson's disease and movement disorders, which we believe will remain medical areas of global significance for years to come. Our technical programs are supported by strong intellectual property and sustainable proprietary positions.

HELP! i swapped plus and minus!
after my aleph3 had worked very well, i decided to install new rectifiers. But i swapped the Plus and Minus wire! The transformer was humming and the 0.47 Ohm resistance at the MosFets (located at the bottom of the schematic) got very hot. After turning off and recognizing my failure, i measured the capcacitors resistance (they didnt explode). It was at 0 Ohm! I think they are broken now, what else may be broken? The MosFETs? I dont want to turn it on again after everythings allright.. Pleas help me, i need only some inormation, what values i can measure when the amp is turned off... I have a 500VA 2x18V transformer. Regards, Smithers |
3rd January 2003, 07:52 PM | #2 |
The one and only
Because the output Mosfets have a reverse diode built in,
there is a good chance that nothing is broken. You will want to check the supply caps for leakage with a positive voltage across them. If I were you, I would correct the polarity and fire the amp up with a Variac, watching the current and voltages as I did so. |

I would suggest that you start by disconnecting parts one at a time and testing each part. I wouild guess that all or most of the solid state parts are damaged or stressed. Reverse bias on transistors and FETs is very bad. Any resistors that got hot should be replaced also. The electrolitic caps may be OK yet depending on how long the reverse voltage was applied.
Good luck (you'll need it) Later Bruce PS By all means follow Nelson's advice. Just be ready to change some parts.

My supply caps are working, and i did as you told me, nothing broke, everything is ok! Wonderful, i am so happy!! I think the 6 caps took most of the current and there wasnt much left for the solid state parts, am i right? I guess it wouldnt be possible to do that with another amp. Thank you! Regards smithers |

Actually I did this same thing on my first Aleph 2. It did take out one MOSFET, and blew R-15 to a sudden heat death quickly. And this was running it up on a variac....got to about 60 volts before I realized I had made a mistake......I was in a rush to see the blue LED light up .
I took the output stages back off the amp and checked them to find only a single blown MOSFET on the current source side, and all on the driver board was ok except for R-15. I would check everything carefully before you fire it up again. After I replaced the resistor, MOSFET and corrected the wiring mistake, it worked perfectly, and still is. The 2nd Aleph 2 worked perfectly at run up. Reading 0 ohms on a capacitor does not necessairly mean its bad. Some meters take quite a while to "charge up" the capacitor....especially for very hi value capacitors. I suggest disconnecting the amplifiers from the power supply completely, re-wiring the bridge and then running the supply up by itself on a variac......bet its all ok. The rest of the amp you will have to check out part by part. Mark |

Re: Re: HELP! i swapped plus and minus!
ok i now but i havent ever swapped plus and minus in my whole life as an electronicamateur. and now everything is connected in the right way. But, however, everything doesnt work well, one channel is ok, the other not. Dc offset at the outputs is ok, but theres no sound. i measuerd the voltage drops across the transistors and the resistors and everything is allright, the heatsinks of the left and the right channel get the same temperature. i think one of the irf9610 may be damaged, does anybody know what else i can do to getting to know whats the failure? Thanks in advance, regards smithers |

Smithers...I believe Phase Linear did that diode trick in their amplifiers of long ago......
Mark |
4th January 2003, 10:46 PM | #10 |
The one and only
The power Mosfets include that diode, and they took most
of the current when the polarities were reversed. In the case of the Phase Linear, the diodes are there to prevent flyback from an inductive load destroying the outputs when the current limiting kicks in. |

BAIT x adidas Originals EQT Running Support "The Big Apple" by Patrick Johnson 4 Comments
November 10, 2011 BY Aaron Hope / 2
Our first impression of adidas Originals' 2011 footwear plans showed an emphasis on wild animal prints, and it looks like that zoological approach has extended into more abstract manifestations. This upcoming adidas Equpiment Support takes its simplest-of-all-colorways from the panda bear, a creature that's also represented by a tongue tag that looks like Sole Patrol collaborated with Insane Clown Posse. The FBI recently characterized ICP's notorious fans as a 'loosely affiliated gang'; is it possible the panda bear is an even looser association to this EQT runner? The answer points to no with word of additional pairs in a pack to come, so check this pair out in the meantime and stick with Sneaker News for all the latest from The Brand with the Three Stripes. via Kickswall

Tech, BYU to match similar kicking woes
By The Associated Press
ATLANTA -- There may be some nervous coaches on each sideline Saturday if Georgia Tech and Brigham Young have to rely on late field goals.
The teams' kickers have struggled in recent weeks.
BYU (4-4) has made only one of its last five field goals, including a missed 46-yarder by Justin Sorensen in last week's 17-14 loss to No. 5 Notre Dame.
Georgia Tech (3-4) has made only two of its last seven, including three misses in its 37-17 win over Boston College last week.
Justin Moore hopes he has a chance to end Georgia Tech's kicking woes. Moore, who made 11 of 17 field goals last season, was beaten out by David Scully this year. Scully could miss Saturday's game with a hip injury, creating a possible opening for Moore.
"I've been waiting for an opportunity and it's finally here so I've just got to make the best of it," Moore said before adding with a laugh "which basically means don't miss."
Moore took over for Scully last week and made one of two tries. He said the game against BYU could be close, so he knows better than 50-percent success is expected.
"Last season I didn't have the greatest season, making 65 percent or so," said Moore, a junior. "I set my goals higher this year. I've already missed one. Right now, given this opportunity, I want to show I've grown a lot since last season, physically and mentally. Having a high percentage would show that."
When asked to describe the depth chart at placekicker with Moore and Scully, coach Paul Johnson said "That's an open competition."
Senior Riley Stephenson, also BYU's punter, made four of six field goals before Sorensen reclaimed the job only to miss four of his first five tries.
The Cougars will try to end a two-game losing streak. Three of BYU's four losses have come to ranked teams, including the last two losses to No. 7 Oregon State (42-24) and Notre Dame.
BYU played close in a 24-21 loss at Utah and a 7-6 loss to No. 21 Boise State. Last week's narrow loss to undefeated Notre Dame added more heartbreak.
"They hurt more, knowing you're right there - one, two or three plays are the difference," said BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall. "But we're playing good teams and we're playing them on the road.
"When I started this job to where it is now, expectations are even higher, schedule more demanding. We're playing better football against better teams. That's what's coming next and I welcome it, but we have to execute at an even higher level."
Georgia Tech ended a three-game losing streak by beating Boston College. The Yellow Jackets gave up more than 40 points in each of the three losses, and Johnson fired defensive coordinator Al Groh in a bye week before the Boston College game.
Johnson gave Charles Kelly, the secondary coach, control of the defense for the remainder of the season.
Johnson's spread-option offense made things easy for Kelly's defense by running 91 plays and holding the ball almost 44 minutes. Johnson also had a good review for the defense.
"We played better on third down," Johnson said. "That was the big thing. Offensively we held the ball. That will help too. But I thought our defensive coaches did a good job keeping things simple and letting guys play."
Johnson said it will be more difficult for his offense, which had 391 yards rushing last week, to dominate against a strong BYU defense. The Cougars rank fourth in the nation in total defense and eighth against the run.
The only teams to gain 300 yards against BYU are undefeated Oregon State and Notre Dame.
"They're very physical," Johnson said. "They run to the ball. They're well-coached. They play well together as a team, and they've been really good against the run."
Mendenhall said he enjoys the challenge of devising a defense to stop Georgia Tech, the first option offense to play the Cougars since Air Force in 2010.
"I have good and bad days with defending the option," he said. "More good than bad, but when you're playing well it's very gratifying. When you're not, you're helpless. So there is an extra sense of urgency but I like the challenge."
BYU senior quarterback Riley Nelson has eight interceptions with three touchdown passes in his last three games. Overall, Nelson has passed for 1,236 yards with eight touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
"I still think we're gaining momentum and making progress, and Riley is leading us while we do it," Mendenhall said. "It might not be the prolific breakthrough that people want. But I still see us inching really close to breaking through."
Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington has been a more effective passer this season, but the senior is still more likely to run than pass. He has 111 carries for 471 yards and 15 touchdowns and has completed 53 of 86 passes for 887 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions.

The BPL is different because it is a two-week tournament that does not disrupt the international schedule. Players only play if they are not in national duty.
i agree..if ipl gets a international window then its not a Indian league anymore
but it doesn't have a int window yet so its an Indian league and indian players gets the preference more then any other players...i hated when oversea players were getting more chances in the BPL so its only logical

NPOV dispute[edit]
It seems to me that since the beginning of the current self-plagiarism controversy (and possibly before?), positive facts about Jonah Lehrer have been systematically removed from the article, and there have been efforts to re-focus the entire article on this controversy. This is in addition to the comments about the controversy itself and the bias in the reviews already mentioned on this page. No matter his current status, Jonah Lehrer has published 3 successful books and written for a number of esteemed magazines and newspapers -- there must be something positive to say about him Lbarquist (talk) 23:21, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
- There have been a number of edits to the "Books" section that have included more positive reviews (in addition to the negative reviews that were already present), and the self-plagiarism controversy seems to have settled down in the past week. In my opinion, the article presents a reasonably balanced view now, so I'm removing the NPOV dispute tag. --Lbarquist (talk) 00:01, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Plagiarism Controversy[edit]
Can we please limit discussion of the current self-plagiarism controversy to the appropriate section? As this event has only been unfolding in the past 3-4 days, I think it is premature to turn the entire article in to a discussion of this incident. Please remember to maintain NPOV. Lbarquist (talk) 16:39, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
The following (or similar edits) have been made repeatedly to this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jonah_Lehrer&diff=499181431&oldid=499152287 This appears to be reuse of a quote, rather than plagiarism. Malcom Gladwell himself has stated this does not constitute plagiarism, see: http://blogs.reuters.com/from-reuterscom/2012/06/21/malcolm-gladwell-denies-lehrer-plagiarized-him/ In the absence of further evidence of plagiarism, I do not believe this should be included in the article. I would be grateful if additional editors could weigh in on this issue. --Lbarquist (talk) 20:54, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- I should also note that an accusation of plagiarism with little evidence is potentially libellous and must be removed under BLP policy. --Lbarquist (talk) 20:59, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
However, multiple reputable journalism publications have come out and said that regardless of what Gladwell thinks, it constitutes plagiarism. Additionally, the truth is an absolute defense in any libel situation. In this case we see an example of direct plagiarism so there is absolutely no issue of libel. It may be plagiarizing a quote, but that does not matter. Plagiarism is plagiarism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 21:11, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
Here is what the Columbia Journalism Review (perhaps the most respected publication in the field) has to say about the plagiarism "Yes, people are still working out what does and does not work on blogs, but what Lehrer did has nothing to do with those mutable conventions. It has to do with one of the most basic and established conventions of journalism: honest reporting."
- I would be open to including some mention (possibly a sentence?) noting the *accusations* of (non-self) plagiarism, with the qualification that the accusations were based on reuse of a single quote. This is the whole basis of this particular controversy, correct? My main objection is to the re-making of the section so it appears that Jonah Lehrer has been demonstrated guilty of wide-spread (non-self) plagiarism. Also I would like to apologize for my use of the word "libel," I may have been getting a bit overzealous. --Lbarquist (talk) 22:03, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- 69., at this point, rather than argue somewhat in the abstract, it would be helpful if you would post here (below) what you would like this section to say (with your sources - don't put the sources in as formal citations, just the URLs surrounded by single brackets, which, in turn, are surrounded by parentheses). I strongly urge you to keep the content as small as possible. Otherwise, the sheer weight will undermine any progress we can make toward reaching a consensus. I've created a subsection to separate out what you propose.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:56, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
I like the part where it says "Lehrer had previously published related sentences"! OMG, time for a Burning of a Living Person, At the Stake! 184.108.40.206 (talk) 21:26, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
Proposed text[edit]
Overly critical?[edit]
The article, in its current state, seems to be mostly critical of Lehrer without containing any positive review of his work. NPOV? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 00:52, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- I agree... particularly the "Books" section seems to have cherry-picked reviews and quotes. Lbarquist (talk) 14:23, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Terribly done so far, it just seems like a hackjob done by a hater. No one else's literary biography would contain ONLY criticisms and a lot of them at that. Silly. -WhiskeySeven — Preceding unsigned comment added by WhiskeySeven (talk • contribs) 04:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- I agree with WhiskeySeven. A number of the recent edits, such as here and here, look like the work of someone (or several someones) with an axe to grind against Lehrer. It was reasonable for Lbarquist to revert some of those edits. We all need to be careful not to get too carried away describing the more sensationalistic aspects of the reporting on Lehrer's missteps as a writer. Taking out mentions of the positive comments in the reviews of his book while beefing up the critical comments from the reviews is at odds with the spirit of maintaining a neutral point of view. Dezastru (talk) 06:25, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
Does anyone agree that the lede text about Jonah could use some strong citations? Phillopian (talk) 07:27, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
- Ideally, a lead should contain no citations. A lead is supposed to summarize and highlight the most important parts of the body. The body should be cited. Therefore, the lead needs no cites if it's done properly.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:29, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
If you find this link useful may you please add it to the article's external links: Interview with Jonah Lehrer on Decision-Making Thank you, Anon111 (talk) 17:43, 14 April 2010 (UTC)Anon111
- Not done This account only seems to exist for the purpose of getting this link into Wikipedia. See WP:LINKSPAM. ThemFromSpace 20:11, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Lbarquist has repeatedly removed any information on the page that is in any way critical of Lehrer and claims it violates NPOV. I remain mystified how providing examples of plagiarism can be seen as violating NPOV. I understand that it is suboptimal to have negative information appearing on one's Wiki entry, but facts are facts regardless of how one feels about them.
It is indisputable that plagiarism took place. For an author this is an extremely serious charge and should be described accurately and fully. Lehrer's actions go far beyond self-plagiarism as the examples in section that Lbarquist continuously deletes show. I suggest tat Lbarquist refrain from editing the plagiarism section of the Jonah Lehrer page as s/he continues to remove important and relavant information on Lehrer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 21:01, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- I have not removed "any information on the page that is any way critical of Lehrer," as evidenced by the multitude of negative book reviews still left in the "Books" section, and my own contributions to the "Self-Plagiarism" section. I have repeatedly tried to engage you in good-faith discussion on this page, as well as the BLP noticeboard where I have requested comments, as I posted two days ago on your talk page:
- I have also requested a third opinion for the edits you propose:
- You are free to respond to the points I have made in the appropriate section of the talk page or the noticeboard. --Lbarquist (talk) 21:17, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
As I've already stated at BLPN, you both need to stop editing the article and work the content dispute out here and/or elsewhere. Edit-warring will only result in blocks. 69., don't use the term vandalism. It's wrong and inappropriate. What Lbarquist is doing is NOT vandalism. Lbarquist, don't use legal terms like libel. They can be perceived as legal threats, and they unnecessarily chill discussion.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:27, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
Removing criticism[edit]
User:126.96.36.199, a WP:SPA, has been removing sourced reviews critical of Lehrer's work. I've reverted a couple of times, warned him, and just now issued a 3RR warning. Another editor reverted most recently. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the material that the IP is removing except that he doesn't like it. His edit summary ("I deleted quotes from negative reviews (which isn't included in Wikipedia pages for thousands of other authors with both negative + positive reviews") is unsupportable.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:32, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Jim Lehrer[edit]
I went to this article because I was curious about whether Jonah Lehrer is related to Jim Lehrer. I think it would be good if the article says how, if at all, the two journalists are related. Pha telegrapher (talk) 01:44, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- And what do we do if they are not? Esrever (klaT) 02:10, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- They are not related. Jim Lehrer's wiki page says he has three daughters. I don't think it's necessary to include the fact that people with the same name are not related unless there is widespread confusion, as in the case of Al Yankovic and Frankie Yankovic. Anson2995 (talk) 16:42, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
Quote Recycling?[edit]
The newly-added bit about quote recycling doesn't make sense in context. Lehrer was accused of recycling quotation he previously used in his OWN work, but the example shows Lehrer using a quotation that Malcolm Gladwell also used. That's not the same situation at all. Can someone pls address this? -- SlickVicar (talk) 23:26, 05 August 2012 (UTC)
Shulman House[edit]
According to Shulman House, he paid $2,250,000 for it as a 29-year-old. Is it common for US authors to be able to do that? --Tim Landscheidt (talk) 11:16, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Bacterial soft rot
This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (December 2011) |
Bacterial soft rots are caused by several types of bacteria, but most commonly by species of gram-negative bacteria, Erwinia, Pectobacterium, and Pseudomonas. It is a destructive disease of fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals found worldwide, and effects genera from nearly all the plant families. The bacteria mainly attack the fleshy storage organs of their hosts (tubers, corms, bulbs, and rhizomes), but they also affect succulent buds, stems, and petiole tissues. With the aid of special enzymes, the plant is turned into a liquidy mush in order for the bacteria to consume the plant cell's nutrients. Disease spread can be caused by simple physical interaction between infected and healthy tissues during storage or transit. The disease can also be spread by insects. Control of the disease is not always very effective, but sanitary practices in production, storing, and processing are something that can be done in order to slow the spread of the disease and protect yields.
Hosts and symptoms[edit]
There are a variety of hosts including but not limited to; banana, beans, cabbage, carrot, cassava, coffee, corn, cotton, onion, other crucifers, pepper, potato, sweet potato and tomato. For each host there are different symptoms displayed. Most symptoms are along the lines of watery and soft decay of the tissue. Cabbage and crucifers' symptoms start where the tissue makes contact with the soil. Often there is a change in color and in the case of a carrot, the whole taproot can be decayed leaving just the epidermis. Sweet potatoes show clear lesions that grow rapidly leaving a recognizable watery and soft, oozy tissue where only the peel remains intact.
Potatoes experience a cream to tan colored tuber that becomes very soft and watery. A characteristic black border separates the diseased area and the healthy tissue. Only when the secondary organism invades the infected tissue does that decay become slimy with a foul odor. Like the carrot, the whole tuber can be consumed leaving just the epidermis in the soil. The foliage becomes weak and chlorotic with upward turned leaves and lesions on the stem. The stem also rots and becomes mushy with its colorless or brown lesions.
Dormant Symptomless Stage[edit]
Soft rots are characterized by their distinct maceration of hosts' cell walls with pectolytic enzymes, and subsequent digestion of the intracellular fluid as the bacteria grows. But, little is known about the pathogen's interaction with its host at earlier stages when it is still attaching to, and growing within, the host with no symptoms present. In fact, the bacteria may develop large populations within a plant before any symptoms can be seen. No one knows exactly why the bacteria have this dormant stage, or what factors influence the bacteria's virulence, but the research is being done.
Disease cycle[edit]
There are many ways in which a plant can become infected by a bacterial soft rot. They can be host to the bacteria either by being infected as seed, or from direct inoculation into wounds or natural openings (stomata or lenticels) in mature plants, which is most common. But, when a plant is infected and the conditions are favorable, the bacteria immediately begin feeding on liquids released from injured cells and start replicating. As they replicate they release more and more pectolytic enzymes that degrade and break down cell walls. And, because of the high turgor pressure within the cells, this maceration effectively causes the cells to explode and die providing more food for the bacteria.
As they gorge on intracellular fluid, the bacteria continue to multiply and move into the intercellular spaces, with their cell-wall-degrading enzymes ahead of them preparing the plant tissues for digestion. Often the epidermis is left unscathed, keeping the rotten flesh contained within until a crack allows the ooze to leak out and infect others around it.
When the plant organs are harvested and placed into storage, those that are infected will automatically infect the others placed with it. When certain insects are present, the eggs laid over the stored vegetables will be invaded by the bacteria, becoming host and transporter, able to infect others as they grow. The bacteria then overwinters within the plant tissues, insect hosts, or in the soil and lay dormant until the conditions are right again to reproduce. If the infected storage organs are being used to propagate the plant, or if infected seed was produced, then when spring comes the bacteria will begin to grow just as its host does. Also in the spring, the contaminated insect eggs hatch into larvae and begin to cause infection within the host plant. The larvae then become adults, leave its infected host, and move on to unknowingly inoculate more plants to start the cycle over again.
Growth of the bacteria is possible between 32–90 °F, with the most ideal conditions between 70–80 °F. Post-harvest storage and transportation is difficult for tropical and other warm environments when the air is not properly ventilated during these processes. Higher temperatures and high humidity are ideal growing conditions for the bacteria making ventilation a big priority when trying to combat this disease.
There are very few things that can be done to control the spread of bacterial soft rots, and the most effective of them have to do with simply keeping sanitary growing practices.
Storage warehouses should be removed of all plant debris, and the walls and floors disinfected with either formaldehyde or copper sulfate between harvests. Injury to plant tissues should be avoided as much as possible, and the humidity and temperature of the storage facility should be kept low using an adequate ventilation system. These procedures have proven themselves to be very effective in the control of storage soft rot of potato in WI.
It also helps if plants are planted in well-drained soils, at intervals appropriate for adequate ventilation between plants. Few varieties are resistant to the disease and none are immune, so rotating susceptible plants with non-susceptible ones like cereals is a practice positive to limiting soft rot infection.
The control of specific insect vectors is also a good way of controlling disease spread in the field and in storage. Soil and foliage insecticide treatment helps controls the bugs that frequently cause wounds and disseminate the bacteria.
Due to its wide range of hosts, bacterial soft rot devastates many significant crops both in the field and in storage all over the world. Almost all fresh vegetables are subject to infection by bacterial soft rots. But, it is not just the vegetables that are susceptible; in the tropics, soft rot develops on important crops like corn, cassava, and banana even while still in the field. Specifically, soft rot of potatoes can cause a huge decrease in yield, and is the most serious bacterial disease that potatoes are exposed to. For a grower of potatoes, there is a possibility that 100% of a whole season's yield could be destroyed due to insufficient conditions in a storage facility. In turn this impacts customers with reduced quantities of produce for sale, a reduction in quality, and an increase in expense. All in all, bacterial soft rots cause a greater loss of produce than any other bacterial disease known.
The bacteria, Erwinia carotovora or Pectobacterium carotovorum, is gram-negative, anaerobic, and rod-shaped named from the carrot it was first isolated from. Found mostly in tropical, warm regions of the world. Because the organism is spread in so many ways, there is speculation that it was introduced to water through aerosols and runoff into water bodies. Specifically this could have happened through dumping potatoes that were infected and disposed of.

White iPhone 4 listed in Best Buy's inventory with April 27th launch date
As if we needed any more proof that the white iPhone 4 is about to be unleashed, 9to5Mac posts screenshots from a Best Buy inventory system that shows the white iPhone 4 will be released on Wednesday, April 27th. This latest hint comes after a week long series of reports and leaks from Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, and even Verizon's systems in the US.
9to5 notes that the white iPhone 4s are already en route to Best Buy stores across the US and should arrive by Monday or Tuesday. The model in the screenshot is the AT&T GSM model, but Verizon models are expected to be available on the same day. With a delay of almost a year, the white iPhone 4 seems to lack the punch it once did. But with the iPhone 5 rumored not to be appearing until September, the white iPhone 4 could be enough of an incentive for those wanting one not to hold off until the next model.
