Fusion Reactions Inching Ahead
A small step in creating a controlled fusion-energy reaction was reported in the online journal Nature.
Scientists are mimicking the interior of the sun inside a laboratory by using 192 lasers to compress a pellet of fuel and generate a reaction in which more energy came out of the fuel core than went into it, the Washington Post reports.
A fusion reactor would run on a common form of hydrogen found in seawater and create little nuclear waste. It would be immune to a meltdown similar to the one at Fukushima, Japan.
Scientists from the National Ignition Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, said the results were not fusion "ignition," the ultimate goal.
Only about 1 percent of the energy from the laser actually winds up in the fuel, with most of it getting absorbed by surrounding material — a gold cylinder called a hohlraum, and a plastic capsule within that — before it reaches the fuel, which coats the inside of the capsule and is made of two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium.
But the experiment worked as hoped. When briefly compressed by the laser pulses, the isotopes fused, generating new particles and heating up the fuel further and generating still more nuclear reactions, particles and heat. This feedback mechanism is known as "alpha heating" and is an important goal in fusion research.
The energy produced form the reactions won't be available in a power plant, or anywhere else, anytime soon. The cost of the operation is about $5 billion.

I always prefer to stay in a real place rather than a hotel when I'm traveling. I think I've stayed in at least 30 AirBnBs at this point. I love it!
I am gone at least a long weekend a month and would love for my place to be used and loved in the interim.
I work as little as possible as a writer/strategist in the Bay Area.
Karina has completed online and offline ID verification.
We had a great experience. Cozy, colorful apartment in a super convenient location. Karina was very accessible and thorough. Highly recommend!
I had a great experience. The Daisy Garden is a great space with a fantastic back yard and lots of interesting art on the walls. Karina had everything set up as promised, was very easy to coordinate with, and was very accomodating. It's also located in a great neighborhood in Brooklyn. I would definitely go back!
My husband and I spent a weekend at the Daisy Garden. We loved the apartment, especially the great art on the walls and the private backyard. The neighborhood has a great variety of restaurants and bars within a short walking distance. We especially loved having breakfast in the zen garden at La Petit Cafe. The subway is very accessible also. We will definitely return next time we visit New York.
The reservation was canceled 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Karina's place is large, spacious and really cosy. It is a basement apartment though so there isn't much natural light that comes through, however you have complete access to a back patio and during the summer this is ideal! Great neighbourhood, only minutes walk from the main st! Karina you were so attentive and helpful, thank you for constantly making sure we were ok and making yourself available to us even though you weren't in town. Would definitely come back!!
3 girlfriends and I stayed at the Huntington place and it was such a great place to stay. The house was great size, clean, and both beds were comfortable with clean linens. We were ther for New Years, the walk to the subway was sometimes a little cold but not too far. There are plenty of nice restaurants and cafes in the area and the subway stop is only a short distance to New York City. Ill definately be contacting Karina for future stays. Great place for the price.
Karina's apartment was convenient and spacious enough for my 70 year old mother and her husband to relax and feel comfortable in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.
Great place, well located. We had a great time. Karina organised everything in the appartment for us.
Karina's place was awesome! Very clean, comfortable and situated in a perfect spot in Brooklyn. The neighborhood is filled with restaurants, great architecture (the row houses are so Brooklyn/NYC) and walking distance to transportation. Karina was very responsive, flexible and easy to work with. I was in NYC for the Marathon and right after hurricane Sandy hit, Karina was great- working with me throughout some of the challenges that I had to deal with. I would recommend her place to anyone looking for a great place, in a very cool part of Brooklyn!
Karina and Travis were fantasic hosts. Their place was perfect and is in a great neighborhood. They made everything so easy for us and were very easy to communicate with. It really was a pleasure to stay at their apartment. Thanks again, Karina and Travis - you guys are great.
Karine was a very clean and respectful guest and I higly recommend her
Muchas gracias Fue un placer conoceros
Pareja agradable, simpática y educada, dejaron el estudio en perfectas condiciones, totalmente recomendables.
I did not get to meet Karina and her group of 8 friends however She was great communicating her reservation needs and kept me posted in the changes on their arrival time My housekeeper says that they left the house in great shape and I appreciate that! I would certainly recommend her to any host
Karina, her boyfriend, and their little dog were great guests in my apartment. After they left, I couldn't even tell that a dog had been there. They left the place clean and orderly. Come on back anytime!
We really enjoyed having Karina and her friends stay at our apartment, they were an awesome group to host. Communication was great and very easy going! There is no doubt that they are experienced travelers, well organized and tidy. Truly wonderful guests! They were considerate, polite, friendly, respectful and left our place spotless clean. We would love to host them again anytime, if they are ever back in La Paz!
Karina was a great guest. Very clean and easy to coordinate with. I would welcome her back at my place any time!
Karina didn't actually stay with us but her Aunt and Uncle did and they were fantastic guests. The apartment was just as clean as it was before they arrived. Karina was great in arranging the stay as well as the key exchange. Thanks for a great visit. Nicki and Ryan
Karina is awesome and her apartment is awesome. I've known her for several years and her space is super cozy and tucked away in a lovely neighborhood in Brooklyn with plenty to do away from the noise of Manhattan, but close enough to spend an evening in Manhattan without it taking forever to get home. Yep. You should stay at Karina's while in NYC.
Karina is maybe one of my favorite people in the world. She knows how to have a great time and how to help everyone around her have a great time. She's smart, kind, responsible, organized and considerate. Basically, everything you want and more in a great host. I would stay with her anytime!
I have nothing but positive things to say about Karina's Womphouse. She's not kidding when she says its a great location. EVERYTHING you could ever desire is two min away, including the subway. And the place itself is perfect. Not only does it look adorable, full of light and color, but it is incredibly clean and cozy, with lots of space for activities! And that pull-out couch is one of the most comfy beds I've slept on. Seriously. Karina herself is a sweet and a gracious host. I think she truly enjoys giving travel tips and wants nothing more than for her guests to make themselves at home. I don't want to leave!

Markus Rosenberg has been offered a contract extension by Werder Bremen but he has yet to decide on whether to agree to the deal.
The 29-year-old forward's current deal with the German side runs out at the end of the season and he would be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club in January.
Werder want to keep Rosenberg beyond next summer but the Sweden international's agent says that he and his client are not in a rush to agree to the new terms.
"Werder Bremen want to extend Markus' contract but we have opted to wait," Martin Dahlin told Fotbolldirekt.se.
Rosenberg joined Werder from Dutch giants Ajax in 2007 and played the 2010/11 season on loan at Spanish outfit Racing Santander.

For the first time, the U.S. EPA will ensure that all milk and milk products will be formally exempted from the Oil Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule.
The Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC), which was initially authorized in the 2002 Farm Bill, provides monthly payments to producers when market prices drop below the programs defined trigger price.
Miami County Farm Bureau is working with several organizations to expand its annual fight against local hunger.
Ohio Farm Bureau Senior Director of Field Services, Brian Peach gives an update on the recently launched 2013 membership campaign.
While Ohio Farm Bureau has achieved tremendous success in securing funding for the organizations priority items thus far in the House and Senate versions of state budget, it must still make it past the conference committee and Gov. John Kasichs desk.
Ohio Farm Bureau members have a number of benefits available to them ranging from money savings to property protection. Here are a few of the benefits that members took advantage of (as of November) in 2009.
Six counties participate in County Activities of Excellence Awards program; Young Ag Professionals compete in national contests
Farm Bureau members with agritourism enterprises have provided insight into policies they need to help their farms thrive. Farm Bureaus public policy staff have identified a number of ways Ohio can promote more of these businesses. Among these are issues related to reducing burdensome regulations and minimizing liability when the farm is opened to the public.
At the Feb. 11 launch meeting for the Membership Model Task Force, OFBF President Steve Hirsch laid out the work at hand.
March was a busy month for the 42-member Membership Model Study Group as it met in Columbus for three full days of discussion plus held additional small group online and phone conversations.

I am14 going to be 15. Here is my question: How do I get kids to stop teasing me about my stuttering and make them realize that it is ok to stutter.
Hi, I am in 5th grade and stutter. My godmother told my mom about a cure. It is said to work for 80-90% of the people who try it. You have to read with your teeth clenched (together) for a certain amount of time each day. Can this cure my stuttering?
What is the origin of the actual word "stuttering"?
Where can I learn some more about stuttering?
When I start to stutter I use a short word like "um or somdthing then I say the word that I stuttered on again so it sounds normal. Is this a good idea?

I take 7th grade choir and I am just curious to know why I don't stutter when I sing?
How many people stutter?
There are about three million people in our world who stutter, and they are both children and adults. Three million people is a lot of people! If that many people stood in a long line and held hands, they would stretch all the way across the United States. The first person in the line could have a foot in the Atlantic Ocean, and the last person in the line could have a foot in the Pacific Ocean. People who stutter are not alone!
Why do some people tease all the time?
What are some other things I can do that might help stop people from teasing:
What are some ways I can help other people learn more about stuttering?
Another theory is that being "excited" can make you stutter because extra energy from other parts of your brain spills over into the part that controls speech. The excitement can be either good excitement such as going to a party or bad excitement such as being teased or scolded, but the effect is pretty much the same.
You might talk to your speech teacher about doing a real scientific
experiment. Keep a stuttering diary for a few weeks and see if you can figure out what kinds of things seem to make you stutter more and what kinds make you stutter less. Don't just look at the big, obvious things such as "being in school" or "going to the beach." Try to be very specific. Do you stutter more when you ask questions or when you answer them? Do you stutter more in math or in English class? In the post office or in the drug store? With men teachers or with women teachers? Figure out your own places and situations to compare. This kind of project can tell you a lot about your own stuttering. If you can figure out just what kinds of things tend to make you feel stuttery, you will have a useful
tool for managing your speech.
The chances are that you stutter more around some people than you do around other people because they remind you of a time when you really stuttered badly. This reminder can be way deep down where you don't really even think about it. Of course, the more you stutter around those people, the more they make you think about stuttering. It is a vicious circle which is very difficult to break.
Sometimes it makes sense that you might stutter more around particular people, for instance people who tease you and put you down, or people who are very bossy and impatient, or people who are always grouchy and who fuss at you a lot. If that happens, it would be a good idea to talk about it with your parents, your speech teacher, or a favorite teacher. People who are demanding, rude, or impatient often don't even know that they are that way, and you might need backup help from a grownup to get them to let up.
Think about how you feel when you have to speak in class. Do you feel rushed? Do you feel like people are staring at you, or that the teacher wants you to hurry up and get on with it? If you do feel like this, you should talk to your parents, teacher or speech teacher, and together you can figure out ways to lighten up the pressure a little. Otherwise, just expect that sometimes you will forget to use good speech. That's really OK. As long as you don't get discouraged, you will eventually learn to use good speech without really thinking about it too much. But it can take a long time to learn to do that.
Here's something else that you can do secretly for yourself. Next time you have question-and-answer time or oral reports in class, mark down on a piece of paper the number of times the other kids have to stop and start again, make a speech mistake, repeat a word or a syllable, or goof up some other way. I bet you'll be surprised! You might want to talk about that tally with your speech teacher. You see, everyone screws up speaking sometimes, so stuttering now and then really should not be that much of a problem.
One of the first stutterers we know about may have been Moses, who told God that he couldn't lead the Israelites because he was "slow of speech." He got permission from God to let his brother Aaron do the talking for him at first! Another early example was the Greek orator Demosthenes (pronounced "de-MOS-the-neez"). He made himself into a strong speaker by running with stones tied to his chest (a kind of early weight training) and by practicing speaking with a mouth full of pebbles. You can read about both of these early stutterers on the Stuttering Homepage, in the "Famous People who Stutter" section.
If a person stutters on the ground, he or she probably would stutter in
space, too. . The reason is that the muscles that "shift around" in space are
mostly the larger, slower muscles that hold a person upright - like
the muscles in your legs, sides, and back. In space, without gravity, they don't have much to do so they get weak.
But, hands and faces have small, fast-moving muscles that work all
the time, even in space. And the face muscles
don't really work against gravity the way the leg and body muscles do.. They
work mostly against each other, so I don't think that the lack of
gravity would affect stuttering much, if at all.
On the other hand, you probably know that any big change can
affect how much a person stutters. An astronaut might be so excited at
being in space that he or she might become pretty dysfluent for a while. It
is more likely, though, that any astronauts who stutter would be so busy
with experiments and work on the space craft that they would not have time
to worry about whether they stuttered or not -- and that could even
make them stutter less.
Either way, since stuttering has just about nothing to do with the things that astronauts do, it would be no reason at all to keep someone from becoming an astronaut. Why don't you two design an experiment and propose it to NASA? I think it would be very interesting as well as good science to analyze the cockpit and cabin tapes from the shuttle for evidence of stuttering or other speech problems that might be affected by the lack of gravity in space.
The best way to make stuttering diminish is to be open and honest about it, and eventually to learn not to care whether you stutter or not. That can be very difficult to do but it's worth making the effort to learn how. The people whose stuttering stops (or gets so mild that
nobody notices) are often the people who can grin and say, "Sure I stutter, but it doesn't matter!" Instead of worrying about stuttering and trying to hide it, they learn to communicate very well. They say what they want to say, when they want to say it, and they don't let anyone stop them.
If you learn to accept and be proud of yourself whether you stutter or not, the chances are that stuttering will not matter once you are grown up. But if you always worry about trying not to stutter, then stuttering will probably be a problem all your life.
I hate to tell you, but unless you are six feet eight inches tall and built
like a tank, and have a temper to match, there isn't much you can do right
now to stop the teasing. You can try a few things like telling the teasers
outright that it's OK to stutter, but if I know anything at all about
14-year-olds, they won't listen unless they want to. What you can control,
at least some, is the way you react to it.
That is much easier to do if you can hook up with people who know what you
are going through. If you are in speech therapy now, perhaps your therapist
can put you in touch with a group such as a National Stuttering Association
chapter or a Friends (an association of young people who stutter) chapter.
Although NSA chapters are usually mostly adults, they welcome teens and
young adults as well. You would be surprised at how much strength and
support you can get from groups like those.
Some day you might want to go to the National
Stuttering Association's Convention, usually near the end of June. There are always a lot of activities for kids and teens, and plenty of chances to share both troubles and triumphs. Friends also has conventions.
You might also want to join the stuttering interest list "stutt-l" and ask
your question there. Almost everyone on that list has been through the
agony of being teased, and some of them have really good strategies for
dealing with it. At the very least, write to the Stuttering Foundation and order their book "Do you stutter? Advice for teens."
What are you doing this summer? New job, old job, hanging out, summer
school? During the school year, I would suggest that you try to find an
opportunity to do an oral report on stuttering, either in science, in
communication arts, or in social studies. That is usually a very powerful
way to get your classmates to understand where you are coming from. That
doesn't work in the summer, of course, but it is something you can maybe
plan for next Fall.
However, summer can be a chance to make yourself over in a new environment
where stuttering won't matter. For instance, if you are working, the
chances are that your boss won't care a fig about your stuttering if you do
a really good job at your work. If you are too young to work (in some
parts of the country, you have to be 16 to get a job) then volunteer. For
instance, you can volunteer to help the groundskeeper or sexton at your
church, or help out in an old folks' home, or your community library, or
homeless shelter, or some other public facility. As a matter of fact, you
can benefit from volunteering even if you are working. There is nothing
quite like doing something to help others to give you the kind of grownup
self-confidence that will let you view teasing as the kind of childish,
stupid behavior that it is.
Words describing stuttering have been around for a long time. It is unclear when the very first reference to the act of stuttering occurred. There is a verb that means "to stutter" that appeared in an Egyptian story "The Story of the Shipwrecked Sailor", from the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. If you look at the link in the line above you will see an Egyptian symbol called hieroglyphics that may have
been referred to stuttering. This is from about 4000 years ago!! The symbols tell the tale of a man having to speak with his king after an unsuccessful expedition.
You might like to look at several of the words for stuttering from around the world. There is something special about many of these words. If you say them out loud you will notice that many actually sound like stuttering -- parts of the words repeat.
But you asked where the actual word stuttering comes from. The answer is really not very clear, but there are many possibilities.
There is an old Norse word "stytta" which also means "to stop."
There is also an old German word stutten that means to make a series of repeated sounds (like a machine gun) and another German word (stumm), which means to speak with involuntary pauses or blocks. In The Barnhart
Dictionary of Etymology, the word stutter was felt to orginate before the 1100's from another German word meaning to push or shove. Joseph T. Shipley traced the word "stutter" back to "stue" in his book The Origins of English Words. The word "stue" is from a Greek word that means to strike.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, apparently the word "stutter" doesn't appear in English until about the time Shakespeare was born. That was a period of great change in the English language. The word may be related to "totter." However, there is an obsolete word (a word that is no longer used) "stutte" that meant "stop" or "hesitate" so it could have come from that word as well. There is also an old reference from 1529 that says "Her felow did stammer and stut," which may have been an early example of the word "stutte."
Why do I stutter sometimes and not at other times?
We really don't know why that happens, but it seems that everyone who stutters does this. There are some theories that make sense. One is that people get the idea very, very quickly that they will stutter in some situations. For instance, if you have a really bad stuttering block while you are in the lunch line, that might plant the idea deep down in your mind that you will stutter when you have to stand in line. So a couple days later you are standing in line to buy a movie ticket and --wham! -- you start stuttering!
Why do some people make me stutter?
First of all, get rid of the idea that "some people make you
stutter." You might stutter more around some people than you do around other people, but usually they don't "make" you do anything. Your reactions are your own, and you can learn about them and eventually learn to manage them.
How do you remember to use good speech in school, do you have any tips?
That's a hard one! If you haven't used good speech for very long, it
will be really difficult to remember to do it when you have to ask or
answer a question, read, or give a presentation. Instead of
concentrating on the times you forget to use good speech, set yourself a goal of using good speech once a day for a week, then twice a day for a week, then three times, and so forth. Congratulate yourself for meeting your goal, don't be hard on yourself for not using good speech at the other times. By the end of the school year, you will be using good speech all day!
When was the first incidence of stuttering reported?
Nobody knows that for sure. Stuttering is found in every language and every country in the world, and evidence of stuttering is found in several very old documents. There is even an example of a speech problem in Egyptian symbols called hieroglyphics. As you can see, the picture shows a person trying to speak but the speaking gets blocked by what looks like walls. Maybe this symbol was showing stuttering.
Do you stutter in space if your muscles are shifting around?
Wow, Ben and Walter. That question is out of this world, for sure!
My question is can you ever stop stuttering?
Hi James. I'm glad you wrote. The answer is, it really depends. Some people apparently do stop stuttering, usually after a whole lot of speech therapy. Some stutter a lot all their lives, though. Most fall somewhere in between. That is, their stuttering diminishes, but it's still there. It just isn't very important any more. Most of the time people don't pay any attention to it.
I am 14 going to be 15. Here is my question: How do I get kids to stop teasing me about my stuttering and make them realize that it is ok to stutter.
First, I suppose that you have already talked to your teachers, parents,
speech pathologist, counselor, and all those people who are supposed to be
able to help you deal with things like teasing. I also suppose that you are
not satisfied with their answers, or you wouldn't have written to the
Hi, I am in 5th grade and stutter. My godmother told my mom about a cure. It is said to work for 80-90% of the people who try it. You have to read with your teeth clenched (together) for a certain amount of time each day. Can this cure my stuttering?
Your godmother probably saw this "cure" for stuttering in an
Ann Landers or Dear Abby column not too long ago. Although I
know that your godmother was trying to be helpful, it is not
a cure for stuttering. It is something like what is called
"an old wive's tale." Have you ever heard that expression?
There are old wive's tales about lots of things. I remember
my grandmother told me I could get rid of the warts on my
hands by burying a dishrag under the back porch when the
moon was full - or something like that. The best advice I have for you and your mom is to talk to a speech therapist (you are perhaps already working with one - I hope so).
What is the origin of the word stuttering
What an interesting question. And it led to some detective work for several of us. The easy answer to your question is nobody knows for sure. But there is some interesting information we found.

In God We Trust. Just four simple words. And yet their utterance and existence as our National Motto have recently become a rallying point for groups and individuals hostile to the notion that faith exists in America. Groups like the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) claim to want nothing to do with religion, and yet the mere presence of these four words as our National Motto create such strong feelings of angst that they repeatedly sue to wipe them from the public sphere. The ACLJ has consistently opposed the FFRF in these efforts, including our defense a statue of Jesus placed by World War II veterans nearly 60 years ago.
We recently filed an amicus brief in defense of the Capitol Visitors Center's inclusion of the National Motto and Pledge of Allegiance. We filed this brief on behalf of Congressional Prayer Caucus Chairman, Congressman Randy Forbes, and 43 other Members of Congress. Congressman Forbes has been a faithful partner of the ACLJ and a consistent leader in Congress on these fundamental issues of faith in the public sphere.
That is why today's news from the U.S. House of Representatives is so encouraging. Later today, the U.S. House will vote on H.Con.Res. 13, a resolution introduced by Congressman Forbes to reaffirm "In God We Trust" as our National Motto, and encourage its display in public buildings and government institutions. You can read more from Congressman Forbes about this resolution here.
Given the fact that "In God We Trust" was officially adopted as our National Motto more than 50 years ago, it might at first glance seem unnecessary for the U.S. House to publicly reaffirm its important place in our history. However, the very fact that attacks on the Motto have rapidly increased make it critical for Congress to fight back. We cannot allow the incremental removal of faith from the public sphere to occur while we do nothing. It is this same rationale that leads us at the ACLJ to engage the FFRF and other faith-hostile groups at every stage of the legal process. And it is why we applaud Congressman Forbes for introducing H.Con.Res. 13, and look forward to its approval by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Words have a powerful effect, and never has that been more true than with the words "In God We Trust." Ironically, through its actions, the FFRF has acknowledged that power every bit as much as have people of faith. When the U.S. House reaffirms those words later today, it will add its collective voice to the chorus acknowledging the power of our National Motto.
Update: H.Con.Res. 13 - the "In God We Trust" resolution - overwhelmingly passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 396 to 9 (with 2 voting present).
At last, a victory for common sense and fairness. According to Fox News , next week the Army will announce that the victims of Nidal Hasan's Fort Hood terrorist attack will receive purple hearts.

In many ways this has been a good year at the ACLJ. There is much to be thankful for—we've won key, precedent setting victories in court here at home, and we've even made progress fighting Christian persecution abroad. At home, we've defended the rights of Christian students and professors, won a...
Though my own military service is winding down, for now (I transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve earlier this year), I'm still a veteran. That's a part of my identity now, and it will be for the rest of my life. Military service is becoming less common with each American generation .

The 10 Biggest Virtualization Stories Of 2013
Get a roundup of CRN's virtualization coverage right to your inbox with the CRN Virtualization newsletter.
Virtualization Playing Key Behind The Scenes Role
Virtualization is the key underpinning technology for cloud computing, but it's starting to lose its identity as a distinct market segment, at least on the server side. Yet in other areas, like desktops, mobile devices and user profiles, virtualization is still a market with plenty in the gas tank.
We're not hearing many startups even using the word "virtualization" to describe what they do, but behind the scenes, the cloud-enabling technology continues to make all kinds of useful things possible.
The action in the virtualization these days is centered on solving bring-your-own-device challenges and the storage bottlenecks that have kept the virtual desktop space from fully blooming.
Following are CRN's top 10 stories of the year in the virtualization market.

Japanese Beetles in Cedar Rapids
I was appalled when I visited my favorite nursery, Culver's in Marion, yesterday, and found Japanese beetles swarming on one variety of shrub, the summersweet clethra. How common are JBs in Iowa? I know my cousin in Illinois has them, but on my rural farm garden I have yet to see them. I pointed out the beetles to one of the employees, and they said yes, they knew they were there and were spraying. They still looked very healthy, however. It makes me very nervous to bring home a shrub from a nursery when there could possibly be JB grubs in the soil. Am I taking this too seriously? Are JBs already common in the Cedar Rapids area, or could these have come in on the nursery stock? I didn't see them on any other plant. If I owned the nursery, I'd isolate and destroy the plant and do everything I could to get rid of them instead of just spraying the area once in a while. I suppose it's inevitable that the little pests will show up eventually, but I'm not going to help them along.
I have seen a few in Hardin county this summer...but not as many as when I lived in Virginia.
See the map below...It shows that some eastern Iowa counties are infected in 2005
Here is a link that might be useful: Japanese Beetle Map from Purdue U
Two different friends who have big flower gardens in CR, are overrun by JB's this summer. We toured one gal's garden, and she'd shake shrubs, and clouds of beetles would fly out. It looks like it's inevitable, that they are going to become a major problem in all of Iowa, and change our gardens forever.
This is my first summer living in Cedar Rapids. JB's seem pretty common all over. I couldn't believe when I walked through Noleridge Park and saw tons of them on flowers. It seems though that they prefer certain plants and flowers over others. They lay their eggs in the lawn and that's where all the lawn grubs I saw this spring were from - nasty things!
As for harming my gardens - I've had far worse problems from other bugs such as bean leaf beetles & squash vine borers. Hopefully they'll remain rare or unseen on your rurual property but it is probably just a matter of time. One thing I've heard is not to put up the traps because it just draws them to your garden.
It's sort of crazy to read all these posts about places I go to quite frequently...
I've been infested w/JBs at my old place in Ely, and my grandma had them bad in Springville. I haven't had them at my current residence in Lisbon, but I think that's because it's a new development w/o any trees.
My mom in CR hasn't complained about them (as far as I can recall) but they are there I'm sure. If you haven't had them yet, consider yourself lucky!!
Ive been a home owner in Cedar Rapids for two summers now and I had a severe infestation of both asian and japanese bettles last year, leveled all of my herbs. This year I have not seen any asian beetles and the japanese beetles have been much less noticeable but have still put damage in on my basil plants.
This is the first year I've really seen Japanese Beetles in my gardens. They are exceptionally fond of wild grape and perennial hibiscus. I did get the Seven out, I hated to, but what can one do, other than hand pick them, and I don't have the time to be doing that.
IA Z5a
I understand that Japanese Beetles are very fond of Four O'Clocks. I also understand that Four O'Clocks are quite deadly to Japanese Beetles. I plan to trying this out next year. I'll plant some Four O'Clocks and let the JB dine to their hearts content and then hopefully croak. :) I would like it if I didn't have to resort to seven again.
I live on the NE Side and have had a problem with JB the last 2 years!!! They eat my raspberrie leaves. It is not quite as bad this year as last year through. Some one told me that you can put a can a fruit cocktail out and they will go to it and drowned in the juice. I didn't try it I figured it would attract other insects or animals. This year I have had a horrid time with rabbits eating my hostas all the way down to ground and eating my lilies before they bloom
Pardon me for posting on an Iowa forum but I suspect our topography is more similar than my other alternative which is the Great Lakes forum. I live in Peoria...perhaps 2 hrs. from the Mississippi. We found Japanese Beetles for the first time this summer but there were so many...so, so many that they must have been here before. I smiled when I read the post of having them drown in a can of fruit cocktail. We'd need a swimming pool filled with fruit cocktail to kill all that were just in our backyard. They literally made a linden and sasafras tree look like they had moving branches. They devoured roses, grapevines, blackberries and other plants. We'd find our pool literally covered with floating rafts of beetles that had died. They clogged the pool filters. I am not the least bit hesitant to use insecticides but I'd have needed a crop duster. And I'm not exaggerating.
This spring I'm going to begin to treat my lawn and flower beds to kill the grubs before they change to beetles. When you see the beetles it's too late for large scale eradication. There is a lawn treatment that uses nematodes that multiply in the soil and eat the beetle larvae. It takes several years though to reap the full potential.
I recommend that if Japanese Beetle is spreading into Iowa and it certainly seems it is that you check online for sources of the nematodes and begin treating your lawns and flowerbeds now so you'll have a full nematode bloom when the bettles arrive en masse.
Good luck...I'm sure they can be controlled but it's going to take some effort. You'll know what I mean when you see hundreds of bettles flying around your yard and even landing on you!
I'm in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Last year I had lots of JBs on my sage. This year, they have been all over the apple mint (although hand picking and drowning in soapy water has eliminated the destructions there) and now they are on the strawberries. I've expanded my garden from last year, and there are also a few on the sunflowers, the potatoes, the new fruit trees, and a couple on the zinnias and cilantro. I make two rounds a day with a bucket of soapy water, and they are much easier to get into the water than I thought they would be. I get most of the ones I see, but of course there are more the next day. I'm not giving up though. I do feel like there are fewer than when I started. But it's frustrating for sure... good luck to all.
I haven't gardened for several years (the rabbits finally exhausted me), but while returning to my house I noticed a rather pretty beetle which I haven't seen before. According to the photo on this website, it is Popillia japonica.
I guess that is the Japanese beetle we are discussing? If so, I have quite a few which are happily and fearlessly consuming the leaves of a vine on a trellis next to my house in Marion.

Daughter Of The Wind
Juergen Roth
Photograph - Flower Fine Art Photography
Anemone flower portrait of a beautiful and inspiring floral macro photography artwork over black from my fine art flower photography collection. Anemone is a genus of about 120 species of flowering plants in the buttercup family. Some suggest anemōnē means Daughter of the Wind and I thought this is a cool title.

Knockrose, Dublin 18
Built in the mid 1700s, it is not known why Knock Rose was built so close to the Scalp. This area was a dangerous and lawless place, at the edge of Dublin and civilisation.
An area, in its time overrun by the Tribes of O'Toole and O'Byrne, who would leave many dead and injured after their visits. It is believed that the house was built on the site of a much older building, possibly Kilternan Castle, but many believe the site contains much older signs of human occupation, about which in time we hope to find out more.
Knock Rose, a mixed farm which occupied some 38 acres, has been owned by the Stevenson family (Trish's ancestors) for many generations. They were known to be kindly and hardworking, honest people.
Knockrose is situated 500 feet above sea level nestling on the shoulder of The Scalp, a geological feature formed by the melting waters of a glacier.
Tom and Trish Farrell are the owners and custodians of this beautifully cultivated unique garden, which is backed by an old mixed forest. Attached to a traditional farmhouse and buildings, it has been evolving over the last seventy years.

(Chris Troutman/Getty Images)NBC Sports announced an exclusive rights deal with NASCAR beginning in 2015. The agreement grants NBC exclusive rights on the final 20 races of the Sprint Cup Series and final 19 events of the Nationwide Series.Both ESPN and Turner failed to reach an agreement with NASCAR to extend their rights deals by the July 14 deadline, and lose rights after declining to match NBC's offer, according to a report by Sports Business Daily. The report states NBC's deal is a 50 percent increase over what ESPN paid.NASCAR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brian France spoke on the new deal:"NBC is known for being an exceptional partner and delivering outstanding production quality and presentation of live sports, as well as its broad portfolio of broadcast and digital properties so we are thrilled with the commitment they have made to NASCAR and its future," said NASCAR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brian France. "We know this partnership will yield great value to our entire industry, provide a premium experience to our most important stakeholders, the fans, and help us achieve a number of strategic growth objectives. Our new partnership with NBC and the recent extension by FOX validate the strength of our fan base and the many bold steps we have taken the last several years to provide fans with better, more accessible racing."NBC will share rights with FOX, which signed an extension last year.David Levy, Broadcasting President of Sales, Distribution and Sports for Turner, told the Sports Business Daily they weren't willing to shell out as much as NBC:"We think NASCAR is an attractive property, but we are disciplined in our approach to negotiating sports rights and could not come up with a business model that was financially prudent for our company."

Coaxial cable is called "coaxial" because it includes one physical channel that carries the signal surrounded (after a layer of insulation) by another concentric physical channel, both running along the same axis. The outer channel serves as a ground. Many of these cables or pairs of coaxial tubes can be placed in a single outer sheathing and, with repeaters, can carry information for a great distance.
Coaxial cable is sometimes used by telephone companies from their central office to the telephone poles near users. It is also widely installed for use in business and corporation Ethernet and other types of local area network. Depending upon the carrier's technology and other factors, twisted pair copper wire and optical fiber may be used instead of coaxial cable.
Coaxial cable was invented in 1880 by English engineer and mathematician Oliver Heaviside, who patented the invention and design that same year. AT&T established its first cross-continental coaxial transmission system in 1940.

Baader Hyperion eyepieces: potential problem with 1-1/4" diagonals/focusers
Voice your opinion about this subject in our forums
Baader Hyperion eyepieces: potential problem with 1-1/4" diagonals/focusers
By Bill Wiegert
The Baader Hyperions are optically superb, good looking, and exhibit excellent finish and internal quality. Better still, their price doesn't perform open wallet surgery on the buyer. I have a 21mm, and it gets frequent use. However, there exists a minor manufacturing problem concerning the 1-1/4 inch section of the barrel.
It seems that a good quantity were made with a taper and shipped out before the problem was discovered. If you get one that is seriously tapered, you may have difficulty using it in a 1-1/4 inch diagonal or focuser that employs a compression ring. You can bypass the problem if you use it as a 2-inch.
Specifically, some of their 1-1/4 inch barrels are tapered from top-to-bottom, as much as 045-inch. I have measured two examples in which the taper was 028-inch in just the capture groove alone. This may prevent secure tightening, and in fact my 21mm easily wobbled around in the diagonal with little effort. The taper, if severe enough, can cause only minor engagement of the very top edge of a compression ring, which is not nearly enough. Not knowing what was wrong, my initial reaction to this was to tighten it up until I thought I might break something. But it remained loose and floppy. Inserting it into the 2-inch holder made it secure.
I have a way of knowing that the problem is fairly rampant. At one dealer every one in his inventory exibited the defect to a degree; some more than others. Some are severe enough that you can tell just by looking at it. This section of the barrel is generic to all focal lengths, so the problem can exist in any of them.
Again, it is potentially a problem only if you have a 1-1/4 inch diaginal or focuser employing a capture ring. The two-inch section is fine, and I would not discourage anyone from purchasing one of these optically fine eyepieces. Besides, the part in question is easily removable, and can possibly be exchanged for a good one, if the manufacturer is so inclined. I have yet to look into it because I have a 2-inch diagonal.

Active within 24 hours
MBA. Coffee lover. Adventurer.
I moved here almost three years ago after graduating from business school. I love the city, am settled into my career, and am looking forward to building a future with someone in Minneapolis. I am fueled by great conversation, daily work-outs, and dark coffee. Weekends are typically filled with outdoor activities, eating at a new restaurant, and grabbing cocktails with friends. I love getting out and about. Friends would describe me as someone with a positive energy. I tackle life with a little bit of a competitive spirit, gratitude, and a readiness to laugh at myself. I'm proud of what I've accomplished professionally and am looking for someone who's ambitious with his career. In 2015, I hope to: - Try all of Eater's top 38 restaurants in the Twin Cities (only 13 more to go!) - Climb up a frozen waterfall - Put another 1000 miles on my road bike - Visit a new continent (2 more left!) - Finish hanging up pictures on my walls I'd love to meet someone who sees the possibilities yet is grounded, is confident enough to know that my playful teases are meant to keep him honest, and is just as comfortable in a business suit as he is in a baseball cap.
