Hairy Bittercress Seed Production, Dispersal, and Control in Propagation Beds

Adobe Acrobat version of this document
(image: Hairy Bittercress seed pods) Bittercress (
Cardamine hirsuta
) is a major southeastern weed that germinates all year during propagation of landscape plants. Bittercresss produces a great wuantitiy of seeds that are forcefully expelled. Plastic containers are commonly reused during propagation with media residue from previous crops clonging to the sides of the containers. The residue in used containers could hold some of these seeds to germinate during the next crop cycle. The objectives of this study were to (1) investigate seed number and dispersal from hairy bittercress and (2) determine the effectiveness of certain preemergence herbicides for bittercress control.
Materials and Methods
Thirty bittercress seedlings from a population occurring in a greenhouse at Clemson, SC were transplanted into 4" square plastic containers. After 10 days. eight plnats were selected for uniformity of growth. Data were collected from these eight plants concerning silique development, seed production, and seed dispersal (distance and pattern).
The second phase was conducted at Carolina Nurseries in Moncks Corner, SC.Two inch square containers with media residue were collected. These containers had a heavy hairy bittercress population during the previous propagation cycle. Half of the containers were rinsed (clean) with a pressure nozzle attached to a water hose and the other half the residue were not rinsed (dirty). This resulted in two container treatments. Propagation media, 50% peat moss and 50% perlite, was sampled at the outdoor storage area from two spots, the top and bottom of the pile, for two media treatments. The containers were placed into 18" sqaure trays holding 64 containers. There were 16 replicates of each container/media combination per tray. The trays were placed in the center of 4' x 4' square blocks on the gravel floor.
(image: Hairy Bittercress seed dispersal) Three uniform plants were selected from the bittercress that emerged from the unwashed containers. Each plant was placed in the center of a five tray (7.5') by five tray (7.5') block and allowed to seed. Each tray contained thirty-six 3" square new uninfested plastic containers with
Ilex crenata
'Helleri' cuttings. Bittercress seedlings were counted on 21 Jan 94. The resulting counts were placed in a grid to determine the dispersal density (seedling/inch
) by distance from the mother plant. All data was analyzed using analysis of variance and regression analysis. Twelve preemergence herbicides at one rate was evaluated for control of bittercress. Liners of
Ligustrum lucidum
were potted into one gallon pots and herbicides were applied using either a shaker can or a CO
backpack sprayer. Bittercress seed (~50) were seeded in the pots after herbicide application and 30 days later. Evaluation of control were made at 30 days and 60 days after application.
Results and Discussion
After five weeks, the average number of siliques per plant was 68, however the nember of siliques per plant ranged from 27 to 182. The average number of seeds per silique was 29. The total number of seeds ranged from 675 to 4980 per plant.
Hairy bittercress seeds are dispersed by a spring-like action of the locule (sides) of the silique rolling back on both sides perpendicular to each other. The seed are thrown to each side of the silique on the same plane as the rolling locules. The average seed dispersal distance was 19.7". Germination of bittercress seeds was 90% after 13 days. Germination began after five days with no new germination after 13 days. Greatest germination occurred between 6 aqnd 8 days after sowing. Presumably the other 10% of the seeds were either not viable or more likely have a dormancy mechanism for later germination.
Emergence of bittercress from unwashed containers int he study at Carolina Nurseries correlated with previous results. All seedlings were within 1 cm of the edge of the container indicating the seed was in the media residue clinging to the container. There were several seedlings that germinated on the outside of the containers where media residue remained, but these seedling did not survive. There was a difference between the number of weed seedlings emerging from the dirty compared to clean (rinsed) containers. Location of media collection revealed no difference in number of weed seedlings from the media from different locations indicating that the new media was not a significant source for hairy bittercress seed.
Seed dispersal was first observed 16 Dec with seedlings emergence beginning 4 Jan. Silique development, seed dispersal and seedling emergence continued until the end of the study 21 Jan. There were 3799 and 5128 seedlings produced from the two mother plants, respectively. Seedlings were counted up to 42" away from the mother plant with the mean dispersal distance being 24". Seedling density at the mean dispersal distance was 7.8 seedlings/in
. Overall, seedling density was 1.2 seedlings/in
across the total dispersal area of 5542 in
All preemergence herbicides (
Table 1
) except Southern Weedgrass Control and Kerb provided greater than 95% control at 30 and 60 days after application.
Hairy bittercress has the potential to quickly become a problem in a nursery. There were six times more bittercress seedlings in the unwashed containeres compared to the washed containers. The problem is amplified by not being able to use preemergence herbicides in propagation.
Significance to the industry
: Hairy bittercress is a prolific seed producer and disperses them efficiently in the propagation areas of nurseries. In trying to control the hairy bittercress, the cycle of seed production must be interrupted. Once this is accomplished a program of hairy bittercress prevention and sanitation should be followed.

Electricity inquiry to be shelved
PUBLISHED: 20 Jan 2011 09:46:36 | UPDATED: 20 Jan 2011 09:46:36PRINT EDITION: 20 Jan 2011
The inquiry into NSW's power sale will be shelved on Friday because no witnesses will turn up.
The upper house inquiry had issued an invitation to the directors of the Eraring and Delta state-owned corporations who had not resigned in protest over the controversial electricity sell-off.
But the inquiry's chairman, Fred Nile, said on Thursday that they were unwilling to appear.
"We were planning to have all the current directors to attend on Friday, but I've just been advised that each one of those directors has declined our invitation," Mr Nile told ABC Radio.
"As there will be no directors available there'll be no hearing on Friday.
"We'll recommence on Monday when hopefully the directors we have summonsed will appear."
Four of the seven directors of Eraring and four of the five members of Delta quit in protest at the $5.3 billion deal.
They have been summonsed to appear at hearings next week after refusing invitations to front the inquiry, citing the absence of parliamentary privilege.
One of those who did quit, David Maher, who was meant to appear on Monday, said it was not reasonable to expect the directors to give evidence.
"We've written to the committee and the president of the upper house, basically pointing out that it's unreasonable to expect us to appear," Mr Maher told ABC Radio on Thursday.
"We're happy to answer any questions before a proper inquiry but this isn't one.
"There's grave doubts about the legal protections we would have."
The Greens say the power sale must be dumped to remove an "albatross from necks of taxpayers".
Treasurer Eric Roozendaal has refuted claims the sale may yield as little as $400 million, saying the state will net $3.27 billion from the partial privatisation.
But Greens MP John Kaye maintained on Thursday that the deal was riddled with "hidden costs and liabilities".
"NSW parliaments have the power to remove this albatross from necks of taxpayers and households," he said.
"The Keneally government should immediately put the sale of the Gentrader rights for Bayswater and Liddell power stations on hold."
Dr Kaye accused Mr Roozendaal of driving NSW into an energy policy black hole, botching the first lot of privatisations and leaving the state with continuing liabilities and costs.

Common Myths About HistoryWhen I was growing up I learned the same well-known oft repeated facts about the history of my nation and the world as most people do. I didn't question what I read on the page or what I was told to believe from the front of the class and in all the television shows, movies, video games and modern novels the same ideas of what happened and why persisted.But then I went to college. The same narrative continued oftentimes, but bizarrely my teachers started to disagree with the texts they were assigned. Their own experiences as professional historians led them to different conclusions then the popular perception would have it, and from that moment on I drew in my mind a disconnect between what the curriculum said was true and what actual recorded history revealed.This disconnect grew stronger the more I began to read and research on my own.I discovered to my amazement that those moments so fixated in the public consciousness, recreated in so many medias, and repeated by so many as unqu
What Is A Christian?So, recently, I was thinking about what it means to be a Christian and how others view Christians. As I sat in solitude, thinking about this, the Holy Spirit revealed to me a vision, a snapshot of what He sees in Christians today. Now I understand that some of you may already know this and that is okay. This is something that I knew sort of. And perhaps some of you need to have your eyes opened. Maybe you are not a Christian and you do not desire to become one...and maybe just maybe I can help you understand the differences.When I decided to walk in darkness and serve Satan one thing became very clear to me:There are two types of Christians the true Christian and the false Christian. Just like there was a true follower of Satan and a poser. Even as a Satanist this bothered me. Even then you would have heard me say something like this, "If you are not going to go all the way, then don't even call yourself a Christian!"W
Writing Great Ending ConfrontationsFirst off: Yay for my getting Photoshop back! Secondly, here's a little more about me being critical about stories and such, but hopefully its directed at improving the overall quality of storytelling and the satisfaction of fiction.Case in point: the almost inevitable Final Confrontation.SPOILERS for various films may be incoming given the journal's nature. Fair warning.The hero and villain have worked their way through trials and tribulations aplenty on both sides (setbacks for the villain more likely, obstacles for the hero) and now the opposite numbers square off at last for the epic showdown. The arena can be anything from a courtroom to a battlefield. The contestants can be elite squad, ordinary individuals, entire armies, or mano-a-mano between our hero or anti-hero and the big boss of the opposition.So...now what?This is more of a problem then it first appears. What people don't consider often enough is that stories BEFORE there's have been told so the audience of this

Tropes Vs Women: Damsel in Distress Part 3Today marks the 3rd installment of Anita Sarkeesian's "Tropes vs Women in Gaming" series about the Damsel in Distress trope. This time the topic is about approaching the flip side of the coin, games where there is a female protagonist in charge, and why they either fail or aren't enough to combat the reoccurrence of the "kidnap princess" gameplay mechanic.Once again... what the hell is everyone getting so angry about? She has a very valid point, AND she goes into detail about both why ironic subversions aren't beneficial to an overall goal of equality, AND offers suggestions on how to make a damsel in distress game work where the damsel is the protagonist you play as and isn't a hyper sexualized character.All of this is basic gameplay creation 101 stuff, things anyone just starting to make games in the industry should be learning or trying to achieve, and the fact that more people AREN'T trying to fix things is part of the reason why Anita even needs to make videos like this in

Illustration and Emotion according to Petar...In my never-ending crusade to prove to Deviantart users that 99% of them are illustrators and that it's a legitimate form of art, I thought I would share this cool article. The blog Muddy Colors is an excellent resource for any illustrator, professional or aspiring or hobbyist, and this is a particularly insightful entry from one of my favourite illustrators, Petar Meseldzija on the topic of making emotionally charged work. Scroll down to the bottom of the entry and this is part I of II so stay posted!http://muddycolors.blogspot.com/2011/11/illuxcon-4.htmlMy own commentary as it relates to deviantart: We can get a little short-sighted here. I've been thinking a lot about this recently because I've been looking at some of those "draw this again!" memes and, while it's really inspiring to see so much improvement in technique, there are very few entries which change anything about the drawing (the pose, the scenario, the background, the emotio
Post mortem 2011Its time to close another chapter in my life for 2011. Its been an awesome year, alot of self-development going on in my life and I owe it to many people that walked into my life. I've gone through thick and thin, through many storms and calm seas and survived.Five years... felt like yesterday I walked into my first job as an animator back in 2007. Truthfully, I never liked being an animator but I don't hate it. I'd learn alot in doing animation and post-production (its fun to edit stuff sometimes) but my real love is in doing illustrations, and concepts. Bleh, if you see my animation work, you'll burn your eye sockets. haha Since I want to do more illustration stuff, I decided to work my way to become a concept artist, keep on practicing, drawing inspirations, doing background and visual designs for various projects, over-influenced by other masters, re-evaluate my style (I still don't see which part of my style is like Gorillaz...seriously haha but I take it a
Random MusingsYou know what character I've always wanted to draw correctly but never could? Jasmine from Aladdin. No matter how many times I've tried, studying the character, the animation, etc... I just can't do it right. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.For that matter I wish I had a more disney-seque style of drawing. I think you can see some Mickey Mouse and Bone inspirations in my shorter cartoony characters like Spot or Talus... but when it comes to human beings I have a very hard time moving away from my Rumiko Takahashi roots. I really envy some of my fellow artists here on DA who have gorgeous linework and character designs, especially in the realm of the face. I've tried but, like Jasmine, I struggle.When I get Super Mario 3D Land for my 3DS, you can probably expect to see a lot of fanart of characters running around with Tanookie tails. I friggin' LOVED the leaf powerup in Super Mario Bros 3 and it's been damn close to 20 years since it's been in a new Mario game.I hate spoilers, but
My Best Motivational TipWhen I become overcome with the guilt and shame and fear as a result of my constant procrastination, I have one trick to get me off my ass that works every time.Now, lots of other people and blogs and whatever are all like "look how lucky you are" and "puppies and rainbows" and "if you get it done now, you'll feel better" and lots of other positive shit. While all this stuff is true, I'm still playing Assassin's Creed II for like four hours a day. It doesn't motivate me at all. I still don't want to write a 500 word essay on the subtle differences between the book and the film adaptation of The Road that's due, like, tomorrow.So here's what I think of."Michael Bay wants me to fail."Insert your own celebrity arch nemesis if you want to, but basically choose someone so crap that it makes you angry. Preferably someone who's getting paid buckets of money to do whatever they do to piss you off.Competitive nature and the desire to prove your chosen asshole wrong should take over.
No one would have called him perfect but...On Sunday morning my father, old iron sides, died of pneumonia. No one would have called him perfect, and he would be the first to admit that. To me though, he was one of the meanest, toughest nuts you could have ever met and in the end, he has a legacy that needs stated....My father was heavily addicted to alcohol and tobacco for most of his life. And they had taken huge tolls on the most important relationships his life and the relationship between my father and I was not spared. There was along time my father and I didn't speak to each other. Eventually those addictions took their pound of flesh from my Dad. About 12 or 13 years ago, he was struck down by a series of strokes and left in a wheel chair with the use of only one arm. Unable to take care of himself, me and my siblings attempted to keep him out of the system. However, after struggling for many years, in the end it didn't last. We finally had to put him in a nursing hom

I'm posting this here for two reasons, one it is of a political nature and secondly this board has discussed, dissected and evaluated the causes of the economic crisis of 2008. There is an HBO movie that was on last night (11PM-1:45AM so yes I am dragging today) that is more of a docudrama inter splicing real video with actors portraying events as detailed in a book on the crisis. It is extremely well done and portrays certain characters better than they have been in the mainstream media, among them Hank Paulsen , The Sec Treasury and Tim Geithner who was then Head of the NY Federal Reserve. If you get a chance watch it...It doesn't preach but it's message is pretty powerful and details how close we came to an economic meltdown.......
I recorded for viewing when I saw the trailer. What a cast! I really don't like when Hollywood messes with history, so hopefully they controlled their artistic license.
I'm going to watch it tomorrow. I think we can all agree that the Wall Street meltdown wasn't a political happening. It was pure greed and some of the people involved should be in prison right now.
I was taught by the right that Barney Frank did it?? You mean that Wall Street did bad things and nothing happened to them???:nono::nono: I DVR'ed it..
Anticipating this for months, I saw it Monday night when it debuted, DVRing the Bruins instead. Unfortunately, just like Sorkin's book, the film was far too kind to Paulson, and the rest of his lackey's from Goldman Sachs who made/make up the Treasury Dept. It's interesting that, at one point, they attempted to make "the Nine" even bigger, by merging them into pairs in a desperate ploy to stabilize things. Of course, their individual egos wouldn't let them agree to it, and so "the Nine" got the capital injections, and proceeded to NOT lend out the money anyway. Crooks and liars, every one of them. Should all be in jail in any self-respecting, honest democracy not completely coerced by Wall St. Unfortunately, this country sold its soul to lower Manhattan a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago. Yay!!! Deregulation for everyone!! ... we are Rome.
oh, also... for anyone maintaining a soft spot for Paulson and "Government Sachs": The Fed Does It Again: $80 Billion Secretive "Bank Subsidy" Program Uncovered, Providing Bank Loans At 0.01% Interest The Fed Does It Again: $80 Billion Secretive "Bank Subsidy" Program Uncovered, Providing Bank Loans At 0.01% Interest | zero hedge The Fed does it again. Following consistent allegations that the Federal Reserve operates in an opaque world, whose each and every action has only had a purpose of serving its Wall Street masters, led to repeated lawsuits which went so far as to get the Chairsatan to promise he would be more transparent, Bloomberg's Bob Ivry breaks news that between March and December 2008 the Fed operated a previously undisclosed lending program, whose terms were nothing short of a subsidy to banks. Says Ivry: "The $80 billion initiative, called single-tranche open- market operations, or ST OMO, made 28-day loans from March through December 2008, a period in which confidence in global credit markets collapsed after the Sept. 15 bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Units of 20 banks were required to bid at auctions for the cash. They paid interest rates as low as 0.01 percent that December, when the FedŌĆÖs main lending facility charged 0.5 percent." 0.01% interest is also known by one other name: "outright subsidy." It doesn't get any freer than that: 0.01% interest on one month cash. Just how close to a complete implosion was the financial system if 0.5% interest seemed too high? Not surprisingly, this program was widely used: "Credit Suisse Group AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc each borrowed at least $30 billion in 2008 from a Federal Reserve emergency lending program whose details werenŌĆÖt revealed to shareholders, members of Congress or the public...Goldman Sachs, led by Chief Executive Officer Lloyd C. Blankfein, tapped the program most in December 2008, when data on the New York Fed website show the loans were least expensive. The lowest winning bid at an ST OMO auction declined to 0.01 percent on Dec. 30, 2008, New York Fed data show. At the time, the rate charged at the discount window was 0.5 percent." Yes, that Goldman Sachs. The same one that perjured itself when it said before the FCIC that it only used de minimis emergency borrowings. Just how many more top secret taxpayer subsidies will emerge were being used by the Fed to keep the kleptocratic status quo in charge?
Exactly why the Fed should be eliminated from the face of the earth by any and all means possible...I believe the process has begun!
I saw it and it was entertaining, but as many have mentioned, I don't know how accurate any of it is. It is definitely played up for dramatic effect. And lets not pretend that policymakers had no hand in the mess. This film was just illustrating part of the story.

Strict Parents Less Likely to Have Teens Who Smoke
Parents who are "strict" in the sense that they set limits for their children are less likely to have teenagers who experiment with cigarette smoking, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology. More from Reuters:
Researchers surveyed middle schoolers from diverse backgrounds and found those whose parents had an "authoritative" and "structured" parenting style were also more likely to be discouraged from smoking by their parents and less likely to become smokers.
"Many past studies have examined broad parenting styles, however this study looked at how specific parenting strategies may help protect youth from cigarette smoking initiation," said Cassandra Stanton, an assistant professor in the oncology department at Georgetown University, who led the study.
"We also note that unlike many studies in the area that are conducted in largely white middle class samples, this study was conducted in an urban multi-ethnic low-income school district," Stanton told Reuters Health.
It's important to identify ways of helping parents prevent kids from starting to smoke, Stanton's team writes in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology, because the majority of lifetime smokers begin before the age of 18.
Although the number of teenage smokers has declined significantly, one in three young adults reports smoking at least once in the past 30 days, according to a 2012 report by the U.S. Surgeon General.

I know this year hasn't gone how we have wanted it, but imagine if we were Jacksonville fans. They were supposed to be sh!t hot and are getting blown out. By the Texans. ON MNF. They don't even have a reason for sucking. Most of the team is the same as it was last year (from what I can see).
Except that their offensive line is in shambles and Garrard, who they gave a HUGE paycheck to after ONE good year, is looking like the kind of quarterback he was supposed to be - a back-up. They've also had key injuries to their defense but got most of those guys back.
Like I said, from what I can see. I don't really even pay attention to Jax from a fantasy standpoint. And Del Rio looks like an idiot with his tie and leather jacket combo.
LOL. Is he really wearing that? Dude is simply not a tie kind of guy. But he is a pretty good coach with an even better philosophy. I live in Jax so I kind of see their games all the time (unless the Pats are playing at 1:00 but even then, at a bar, there's always the Jags game on right next to it). Paying Garrard that much money was a HUGE mistake though.
Oh. I thought that was Don Johnson. I thought of posting somewhere that that game made me feel better about ours. At least we can blame weather, back-up QB, etc... The worst was Garrard FALLING DOWN. Like TWICE. Brutal.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Ducks pile up BCS style points
College football is now the same as women's figure skating, or gymnastics.
There is a longheld belief that championships are decided on the field by going head-to-head, not by judges looking for nuance and pointed toes.
But Oregon most likely scored enough style points Saturday to move into position for the national championship game. The Ducks' 42-14 win over No. 12 UCLA was better than Florida State's win over lowly North Carolina State.
And only one of them can play Alabama for the title.
So the BCS is set up perfectly, predestined maybe, for one last memorable, colossal, goodbye mess-up, likely leaving Florida State out of the title game, the final victim.
On the blood-and-guts side of things, Oregon did win a game against a good team, and did it without the usual fireworks. It happened with quarterback Marcus Mariota controlling and managing the offense while the defense — yes, they play that at Oregon — dominated and stuffed UCLA.
In fact, Oregon's defense shut out UCLA in the second half, after the players vowed to do when they left the locker room after the break.
"I love when they talk dirty to me like that,'' Oregon's nutty defensive coordinator, Nick Aliotti, deadpanned after the game.
By halftime, the scoring wasn't running right for Oregon. Well, yes, it was 14-14, but that's not what I'm talking about. Judges on Twitter were already discounting the Ducks, ripping into them. Somehow, that immediate public sentiment seems to matter.
Florida State was winning the Oregon-UCLA game.
But this was exactly what Oregon needed as a football team. It needed to be challenged, to find itself in a fight.
"They were more excited about coming out for the second-half kickoff than they were for the first-half kickoff,'' Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said. "That's exactly the kind of guys you want. There was definitely a little anxiety in the stands: `Wait a second, it's not 72-3. What's wrong?' ''
Actually, a few things were wrong. The offense wasn't flowing, or flying or anything. Mariota was missing a few passes, though he still hasn't thrown an interception all season. On the second play, Oregon receiver Keanon Lowe fumbled.
And Oregon had to use a risky fake punt on fourth and 14 at its own 26 to get the momentum back. The play went for 66 yards.
But the defense took over in the second half, while Mariota stayed in control of things. And eventually, Oregon just wore down UCLA. Broke the Bruins.
So the score was still 14-14 with just over three minutes left in the third quarter, and then Oregon started piling up points and speeding downfield again.
In that way, the Ducks got what they needed in a football sense, and then got what they needed for the BCS.
And UCLA? It just isn't ready for this year. Quarterback Brett Hundley, a sophomore, was hyped up in L.A. at the start of the season as the next big thing, evidence that UCLA is finally beating USC in the battle of L.A.
The hard truth is that he's just not ready to win a moment like this. He's talented, and showed patience on some great scrambles, but he's still a little awkward. He and UCLA are at least a year away.
"I told the guys we played hard, but playing hard isn't enough,'' UCLA coach Jim Mora said. "We have to get to the point where we do the things on a consistent basis that championship teams do, and we're not there yet.
"It showed me that we're so close. But it doesn't matter. We're not after being close — to heck with being close. Losers can be close. We want to get it. We want to win those games.''
Sure, winning matters. But you have to look good doing it, too.
Former Oregon tight end Ed Dickson, now with the Ravens, was at the game in a sweatshirt that read "Bring on the SEC.'' That's all about the BCS, but also a growing debate as to whether the Pac 12 might actually be better than the SEC this year.
That's going to sound sacrilegious to plenty of people. The SEC has its entitled spot in the championship game already reserved for Alabama. And that leaves the other spot for Florida State or Oregon (Ohio State in case of emergency?)
Last week, Florida State was ranked No. 2 and Oregon No. 3. But look for that to change now, as people decide that Oregon with its Heisman candidate, Mariota, is better than Florida State with its Heisman QB, Jameis Winston.
It's lining up as just one last farewell from the BCS.

It's that time again, where we peek ahead to three months from now to tease what's coming up in the Batman books. You've read about BATMAN: EUROPA and the BATMAN BEYOND ongoing series already, but we've got a few surprises in store, including an amazing David Finch Batman image, more info on "The Black Mirror" and more.
We're excited and honored to break the news today that ongoing GREEN ARROW and TEEN TITANS writer J.T. Krul has signed an exclusive deal with DC Comics.
I interrupt my usual DC Nation-ness to bring you, the DC Comics reader, a very important announcement: The comics shipping this month are freaking awesome!
BRUCE WAYNE – THE ROAD HOME kicks off here as Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne rush to quash a damaging news item that could threaten the secret identities of the entire Bat-family. And as if that weren't enough to occupy their time, their father figure, Bruce Wayne, has returned.
BRUCE WAYNE – THE ROAD HOME: BATMAN AND ROBIN also hits today.

What am I doing in SF? Resting. Eating. Going to BoucherCon and APE. Apparently, I go to conventions even while on vacation.
Writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Eddy Barrows continue to chronicle Superman's story as he walks across America – bringing the Man of Steel closer to the people of his adopted planet than ever before.

We've got a duo of BRUCE WAYNE – THE ROAD HOME previews for you today. Kicking off the pair is BATGIRL, from regular writer Bryan Q. Miller and artist Pere Perez. With the return of Bruce Wayne, could Stephanie Brown's short tenure as Batgirl be over? Or will his homecoming bode well for her?

Hey Texans,
This Virginian is coming to Texas for a family visit at the end of May. I know my Virginia CHP is honored by Texas. I just want to review and confirm my understanding of the laws there. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I am allowed to conceal carry in a restaraunt that serves alcohol as long as it derives less than half of its revenue from sales of alcohol. I am not allowed to carry in a school, courthouse, church, anytime anyway.
Is open carry allowed under any circumstances?

The Atlantic Film Festival (AFF) is an eight-day celebration of film, media and music from around the world. It's a festival that turns Halifax – a charming and historic coastal city – into an international Mecca for the arts, abuzz with filmmakers, industry types and film lovers.
Offering a first-look at the best international films of the festival season, the AFF is a champion of local filmmakers, committed to bridging the gap. We attract some of the biggest players in film, media and music from around the world. All of our film selections are chosen with our community in mind and our special events are designed to bring us all together. A not-for-profit organization, the AFF depends heavily upon its strong ties to the surrounding and thriving arts community.
The AFF began as a tiny, grassroots operation in St. John's, Newfoundland in 1981, relocating to Halifax the following year. Just three decades later, the AFF has blossomed into one of Canada's premier film festivals. Whether for industry folk, unabashed film lovers or curious onlookers, the AFF offers a slew of opportunities to engage through film. Today's Atlantic Film Festival is now a year-round celebration, growing beyond our eight-day cornerstone event in September to include:
Atlantic Film Festival - 150+ films from Atlantic Canada and around the world, Industry Events, Script Development Program, Retrospectives, Parties & Receptions
Strategic Partners - Co-production market, 200 top industry players, 1-2-1 meetings, keynotes, panels, Trans Atlantic Partners - TAP (international co-production mentoring program), Cannes Producers Network Reception

GDS Architects, however, believe its Eco Prism is a way around it. In its plans for a new mega structure in South Korea, it's aiming to build the world's first skyscraper you can actually see through. The idea is to use porous walls that allow people both inside and outside to see straight through to the other side. It doesn't stop there. GDS Architects, which is looking to start construction on the building in South Korea with a completion date of 2014, has said that the building will use optical trickery to reduce the physical impact the building has on the eyes of those looking at it. At the base of the 450-meter-tall structure will be a sports and recreation park further adding to the idea that skyscrapers can be pleasant for those inside and outside, too.Pictured here:The tower will stand 450 meters tall but will have a transparent super-structure to allow light and vistas to permeate through.

Imps crippled by injury crisis
Sutton will definitely be without 10 players for the trip to Cheshire while defenders Joe Heath (hip) and Adam Watts (knee) are doubts. City have more problems at the back with Aaron Brown and Ian Pearce still suspended and on-loan Aston Villa duo Nathan Barker and Eric Lichaj ineligible. Midfielder Michael Gordon is cup-tied having already played in the competition for his former club Merstham. Defender Paul Green (hip), midfielder Sergio Torres (ankle) and strikers Paul Connor (knee) and Lenell John-Lewis (ankle) remain sidelined while Anthony Pulis is out after he was forced off with a knock in the midweek league defeat at Rotherham. Sutton has drafted in midfielder Chris Herd on loan from Aston Villa and the Australia Under-20 international goes straight into the squad. However, City's other deadline-day signing - Notts County's Delroy Facey - is cup-tied. The match kicks off at 12.30pm.

What does the price of a pint say about a pub?
The price of beer varies considerably across the UK, a survey indicates. What does the cost of a pint tell us about where we drink?
It is the familiar cry of the northerner cast adrift in unfamiliar London licensed premises: "How much did you just say a pint costs?"
The weather, the state of public transport and the conduct of politicians might be familiar subjects of saloon-bar gripes, but the price of beer will always be a favourite riff among drinkers who want to conclude their evening with a good moan.
To those of us who can recall - just - the days of the sub-£1 pint, shelling out three times that amount for a single beverage will always cause a small part of ourselves to die a little inside.
The steady march of inflation and indirect taxation means this is unlikely to change any time soon.
But a survey by the Good Pub Guide suggests that some of us can count ourselves luckier than others.
The publication asked all 1,165 pubs featured in its 2011 edition how much they charged for their cheapest pint of real ale bitter.
The Great Britain-wide average was £2.80, a 4% rise on 2009. But this covers broad regional disparities, with the cheapest part of the country, the West Midlands, falling well short at £2.45 below the most expensive, Surrey, at £3.08.
According to the Guide's co-editor Fiona Stapley, the wide variation in prices reflects not just the socio-economic make-up of each area but also the levels of competition, the nature of their bars and the type of beer on offer.
"In areas where you have heavy concentrations of the big chains, the prices tend to be higher," she says. "In pubs which brew their own beer, prices are on average a third lower.
"Beer is more expensive in London because they have a large concentration of people who will come out from work and go drinking. But at the same time, food in London pubs is incredibly good value."
"Start Quote
End Quote Iain Loe CamraYou're paying £4 or £5 in a London style bar where the beer might not be any good"
The fact that pubs serving real ale tend to be cheaper than those which do not is likely to give connoisseurs cause for comfort.
Some central London bars charge upwards of £5 a pint, but what distinguishes these from their cheaper rivals is not so much the quality of the beer on offer as the supposedly prime location.
A pint can be obtained in the middle of the capital for less than £2, if one is prepared to visit a chain like JD Wetherspoon, in which volume and low prices are seen as more important than atmosphere.
Iain Loe, research and information manager for the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra), believes the age-old British system is at play.
"In days gone by, pubs would have the lounge bar and the public bar," he says. "The public bar would be for the working class, there would be linoleum on the floor and the beer would be 2p or 3p a pint cheaper.
"Nowadays, it's the same class divide - but in different pubs, so you're paying £4 or £5 in a London-style bar where the beer might not be any good."
It might not be enough to stop the regulars complaining. But a glance at the price list could tell you all you need to know about your local.
Below is a selection of your comments
You should try drinking in Belfast or Dublin, in The North of Ireland a pint ranges from £3 to £3. 80. In Dublin it can be as much as 5 - 8 Euro or more depending where you go to have a pint.
It may be snobby but I prefer to frequent certain bars in Manchester where the prices are more expensive. You get less hassle, less queuing at the bar and you can hold a conversation with your friends without music blasting out too loud! Must be a grumpy old man!
There is a Spanish Bar in central London, near Tottenham Court Road, where you pay in the region of £3.60 for a pint of beer and yet the bar is in severe need of TLC. The toilets are a disgrace. The ladies toilet door actually came off at one point and it took over a month to get sorted. Unfortunately some pub owners want to rake in the money without investing in the facilities.
When I began at University in 1971 the student bar sold cider at 4p a pint.
I can still get a pint of bitter for sub-£1.50 at the Royal Oak in Ulley, near Sheffield. A great pub situatated on the edge of the countryside.
My father just came back from a trip to the capital with the grandkids, and took them to Harrods. While Grandma and the granddaughters went window shopping in there, he thought I'll have a swift pint in the pub there, asked for a pint gave the barman a fiver and was told "I'm sorry sir, it's £6 a pint."
Those searching for a sub-£3 pint in London are well advised to find a Samuel Smith's establishment - where a stout cost me about £2.40 last time I was there - with a pint of bitter clocking in at £1.99. I imagine that they are able to keep their prices so keen because they only serve their own brews, not mainstream brands.
Its not only country wide but also within cities themselves. Pubs in London will vary vastly, and not I'm not talking bars vs. pubs. The last pub I went to in Smithfields charged me £7.83 for two pints... in a pub! (Perhaps I'm getting old!)
I find that most pubs outside Zone One in London that charge a premium for beer generally serve a decent cold pint and clean their pipes regularly. Central london is a real gamble, you can pay over £4 and it may still be terrible pint - this is what upsets me the most.
As a London worker I don't think i've seen anyone drinking "cheapest pint of real ale bitter". Surely this survey should have taken a brand name lager to compare, as it is, the results are totally pointless. A complete myth that northerners drink bitter - lager is the mainstream drink all over GB. The sooner these idiots at the Good Pub Guide realise this, the sooner they have a publication that will actually mean something to the majority!
Never mind the price of a pint, the price of soft drinks is extortionate! A lime and soda water, which is essentially a dash of cordial costing about 1p, can vary from being free, to about 25p up to £2.50! And an orange juice and lemonade can cost almost £4 in some greedy establishments, who charge you the full price of an orange juice and a lemonade, despite the fact you're only getting a dash of lemonade.

Latics v Villa clash in jeopardy
Referee Stuart Attwell will inspect the pitch at 8.30am on Saturday morning to decide whether the match can go ahead as scheduled at 3pm. The area around the ground has been declared safe, and manager Roberto Martinez told the club's website: "I have to congratulate our safety team at the stadium who have worked tirelessly to try and clear the area of ice and snow over the past few days. "Our ground staff have also spent several nights at the stadium making the sure the pitch remained playable. We have to keep our fingers crossed that tonight's frost is not too severe but a final decision rests with the referee."

What Senate filibuster deal tells young democracies like Egypt's
The Senate filibuster deal avoids the severe political backlash of the 'nuclear option' – for now. It recognizes the filibuster's historic role in protecting minority interests, a lesson for newly democratic countries like Egypt.
AP Photo
Note to Egypt and other new democracies: Despite being one of the world's oldest democratic republics, the United States still has trouble balancing the interests of the majority and the minority after an election.
Just look at Tuesday's informal agreement in the US Senate about the legislative blocking action known as the filibuster. The compromise will avoid a drastic rule change on the filibuster by the Democratic majority, at least for now. Republican senators had been threatening to filibuster several of President Obama's nominations for key cabinet and other positions. In response, majority leader Harry Reid had threatened to use the "nuclear option" – making a change to Senate filibuster rules by a simple majority vote that would lower the threshold required to approve executive nominations from 61 to 51 votes. In the end, the two sides hashed out an agreement that lets five of Mr. Obama's nominees to federal agencies face an up-or-down vote (no filibuster), while pushing him to withdraw two other nominations.
Fortunately, no military was needed in the streets to push the Senate to compromise on a tactic long employed by minority parties to require a supermajority vote on many bills or appointments. Instead, it will help keep the current minority (Republicans) and any future minority (probably Democrats) from deciding there is little hope in participating in the current form of democracy. Egypt's second revolution, on July 3, is a prime example of a large minority – by the millions in street protests – so fearing for its political voice that it invites a coup.

Local Push to End State Review of 'Fracking' Fails Legislative Vote
Friday, July 25, 2014
Cortland County Lawmakers have rejected a resolution calling on New York State to wrap up the health and environmental review of hydrofracking.
In a 9 to 7 vote last night with Legislative Chair Susan Briggs abstaining, County Lawmakers rejected a resolution that was asking the state to end the review of the controversial gas drilling practice known as hydrofracking, and move forward with a final decision on whether the practice will be allowed in New York.
Opponents of the controversial gas drilling process say the state should take all the time it needs to conduct a thorough review. While many landowners that want to develop their mineral resources see the state dragging its feet to avoid the political ramifications of a final decision.
The county resolution sought to pushes the state to make a decision on "fracking" one way or another and did not endorse or discourage the actual permitting of gas wells.
Legislator Charles Sudbrink who pushed for the local call to action says he gets calls on the issue from both supporters and opponents of gas drilling and he saw this as a way to act on those concerns.
Legiaotr Sandy Price who either holds or has ties to individuals that hold gas leases says she could support the resolution because the state should take all the time it needs to make sure "fracking" can be done safely if it can be done at all.
Legislator Raylynn Knolls who represents a portion of the City of Cortland voted for the resolution. She says while there will not be any gas wells in her distract she says the Governor promised a decision before the fall elections and he should stick to it. Knolls says it seems like Albany lawmakers are trying to avoid making a decision either way.
Opponents of the county request says the county has no jurisdiction in the issue and should not get involved. Opponents cited the recent court of appeals decision that has upheld that local municipalities have the final say on allowing oil and gas drilling.
