Maryland's Pollinator Protection Act of 2015
The Pollinator Protection Act (Senate Bill 163/House Bill 605) would require that any plants, seeds or nursery stock treated with neonicotinoid pesticides include a warning label. It would also ensure that consumers could no longer purchase neonicotinoid pesticides; they would be available for sale only to certified applicators, farmers or veterinarians.
Why Restrict Neonicotinoids?
There has been a tremendous amount of independently conducted, peer-reviewed, published scientific research by some of the world's top scientists that have proven the impact of neonicotinoids. (For those of you that would like to learn more, please visit our show archives by clicking here.)
The sub-lethal effects of neonicotinoids prove that it truly is a "Disaster in the Making" as initially proven by Dutch Toxicologist, Dr. Henk Tennekes. His research concludes that it neonicotinoids are mobile in groundwater, the damage to the nervous system is cumulative and irreparable and due to the dose-time ratio, death is imminent. While industry consistently refers to Dr. Alex Lu's last "Harvard Study" on bees, they completely overlook the fact that the bees still died.
There is also a current ban in the EU and efforts in other parts of the world to follow the EU's lead. In the state of Maryland, according to Smart on Pesticides Maryland:
- Beekeepers have reported average hive losses of 30 percent or higher each year since 2006; in 2012, Maryland beekeepers lost nearly 50 percent of their hives. These numbers are not sustainable.
- Neonicotinoids threaten aquatic life. They have been linked to death of molting blue crabs and declines in macro-invertebrates.
- More than half of "bee-friendly" plants purchased at Home Depot, Walmart and Lowes stores in 18 cities across the U.S. and Canada, including in Maryland, had levels of neonicotinoids at sufficient levels to kill bees outright, according to 2014 Friends of the Earth study.
Are There Safe Alternatives To Neonicotinoids?
Yes, there are a myriad of alternatives! The pesticide industry strongly encourages people to read labels before applying any pesticide, so if you see that a product you are considering contains a neonicotinoid pesticide, consider these alternatives. You can also use an app that is available by clicking this link for the PRI Product Evaluator (available for mobile through iTunes store)
To view the entire list of Neonicotinoid Free Consumer Pesticide Products, please click this link.
Listen To The Interview
In this special series called "The Neonicotinoid View", host June Stoyer and special guest co-host, Colorado beekeeper, Tom Theobald, talk to bee health advocates Bonnie Raindrop and Bill Castro about efforts in Maryland to restrict use of neonicotinoids by passing Senate Bill 163/House Bill 6055, The 2015 Pollinator Protection Act.
To listen to the interview, please press play on the video below.
Bonnie Raindrop is the Legislative Chair for the Central Maryland Beekeepers Association (CMBA). CMBA is a member organization of the Smart on Pesticides Maryland coalition which has over 60 organizations who are working together to pass the Pollinator Protection Act in Maryland in the 2015 legislative session. She has been a beekeeper for 9 years.
Bill Castro is a full-time urban treatment-free beekeeper in Baltimore City who has been involved with bees in one way or another for nearly 40 years, and a military spouse. He owns and operates Bee Friendly Apiary. His love of nature and deep respect for honey bees has also been shared through volunteering in Baltimore City classroom education for school age children as well as speaking publicly to civic groups and garden clubs. He promotes honeybee stewardship and a chemical free environment.

1908-10-19 (104lbs) Curley Osborne w pts 20 Joe Percival, Royal Engineers Drill Hall, Leeds, England
From Barry Hugman's History of Championship Boxing
1908-10-19 (104lbs) Curly Osborne w pts 20 Joe Percival, Royal Engineers Drill Hall, Leeds, England. Referee: Edward Humphreys. Advertised as being for the English 104lbs title, following much even fighting Osborne (104) took a decided lead in the ninth round when opening up with both hands and from thereon was never headed. After that session, Percival (104) was twice dropped to his knees and despite being dazed at times put up a determined struggle before going down clearly on points.
On 13 November, it was reported in the Sporting Life that Frank Morcombe should be recognised as the English 104lbs champion, but that was never backed up.

Dallas Cowboys and the NFL
Latest news on the Cowboys
Romo shows true leadership
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tony Romo passed for 351 yards and two touchdowns without an interception, but I thought the most impressive thing about his performance Sunday in the 26-20 OT win over the Chiefs was the leadership he displayed. When Cowboys were killing themselves with mistake after mistake, Romo was a calming influence, proving […] [Read More]
Austin gives Cowboys the lead
KANSAS CITY – A 59-yard catch-and-run touchdown by Miles Austin has Dallas ahead 20-13 with 2:16 left. On third-and-5, Tony Romo hit Austin with a quick slant. He raced into the end zone after breaking two tackles. Austin has nine catches for 190 yards, both career highs, while replacing the injured Roy Williams. Does Roy […] [Read More]
Ratliff to the rescue
KANSAS CITY – Jay Ratliff showed off his athleticism when he leaped over the center to block Ryan Succop's 53-yard field goal attempt with 3:09 left. Could Ratliff's gem be the spark the Cowboys need to pull this one out? [Read More]
Cowboys 13, Chiefs 13
KANSAS CITY – The Cowboys continue to struggle in the red zone. Nick Folk kicked a 28-yard field goal to forge a 13-13 tie with 11:10 left, but the drive should have produced a touchdown. After a 17-yard run by Marion Barber gave Dallas first-and-goal from the 9, Flozell Adams (surprise, surprise) got flagged for […] [Read More]
Choice provides a spark
KANSAS CITY – The Cowboys are back in it thanks to a 36-yard touchdown run by Tashard Choice. The score came with 1:55 left in the third quarter and cut the Chiefs' lead to 13-10. Choice went off tackle on the third-and-1 play and then bounced outside, gaining plenty of room thanks to a sealing […] [Read More]
Chiefs inching closer to the upset
KANSAS CITY – Thanks to more Dallas penalties and a 38-yard field goal by Ryan Succop, the Chiefs lead 13-3 with 6:30 left in the third quarter. Kansas City's nine-play, 36-yard drive consummed more than 4 minutes and was aided by three offsides penalties by the Cowboys. I'm betting Wade Phillips says something like, "We're […] [Read More]
Miles Austin – the good and the bad
KANSAS CITY – The Cowboys trimmed the Chiefs' lead to 10-3 with a 22-yard field goal by NIck Folk with 1:49 left in the first half. Two plays earlier, Miles Austin dropped a sure touchdown on a second-down fade pattern. Austin had gains of 18 and 37 yards during the 11-play, 83-yard drive, but he […] [Read More]
The mistakes just keep on comin'
KANSAS CITY – The Chiefs take advantage of yet another Cowboys' error to take a 10-0 lead with 11 minutes left in the first half. Can you say upset in the making? This time the miscue was a Tony Romo fumble recovered by the Chiefs at the Dallas 16.. The beleagured quarterback lost the ball […] [Read More]

Some books are thrilling. Some books are excellent. Some books are both thrilling and excellent. Seabiscuit is one such. I was out for my medicinal 45-minute trot and came to the place where the crippled and half-blind jockey, Red Pollard, was brought back to ride the injured and dwarfish horse, Seabiscuit, against War Admiral, a giant beast, the rich man's favorite.
There's a lake near our house. I spun around and around that lake until the race was won. I ran an hour and a half that day. Again, there's no scientific support for my theory, but what if I had stopped, or slowed? War Admiral was, after all, the favored horse.
Even short runs with the right passage from the right book can be deeply affecting. Chuckling along at dusk to John Mortimer's Rumpole and the Golden Thread, I came upon the denouement of that eponymous story.
"It is not a matter entirely for your Lordship," Rumpole tells the Judge. "And I said it fearlessly. 'It is a matter of our Common Law! And when London is but a memory and the Old Bailey has sunk back into the primeval mud, my country will be remembered for three things: The British Breakfast, The Oxford Book of English Verse, and the Presumption of Innocence. That presumption is the Golden Thread which runs through the whole history of our Criminal Law. ...'"
Reading in an armchair, I would have been unmoved. Unless, of course, I'd been hitting the port hard, or had recently been acquitted of murder.
Cresting a hill and with the sun just setting, the circumstances were ideal. But circumstances needn't be ideal. You may be running along a mountain gorge, beside the ocean, or snaking your way through the obstacle course of newspaper stands and restaurant marquees that interrupt the sidewalk of a strip mall. It is a fact that every runner knows. Joy, truth, beauty, lie constantly in ambush.
Nursing a cold, I went out one morning for an ill-advised trot listening to a poetry collection. Yeats's frequently read but never-before-by-me admired "Leda and the Swan" came into my ears. The poem burst unexpectedly to life.
"A sudden blow; the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast. ..."
Once a poem is heard, it's heard. You never lose it. I remember when the force of those words was hidden from me. Now they make me blush. Those poets with their "feathered glory."

iHerb Customer Reviews
This is a well made ceramic mug perfect for a 8oz. cup of tea. It has a relativley thin wall so it will not sink the heat out of the hot water as fast as thicker and heavier mugs will while the tea is steeping. It is pretty strong too. I have dropped it and it has not broken. iherb has been running specials on this product and you can often get it for a Dollar or less with the purchase of a St. Dalfour tea product. Keep you eyes open and pick up a few. If you found this review helpful, kindly visit my iHerb home page and read more of my value added reviews.

So I thought maybe someone out there might pot one up for me for the spring swap. I have a Yellow Butterfly bush(Honeycomb) started that I could trade?

Sabbath - The Weakness of The Black and Hispanic Men
in Radio
There is a smell of weakness in the air. The sissifying of Black and Hisapnic men are at an all time high. When will the Children of Israel gather themesleves and be courageous. When will the men start being men instead of gossiping girls. The women don't respect you because you are like them, feminine. Shake yourselves off the dust and stop gossiping like the ladies.
Will bring scripture to encourage strength.

Life's Issues Radio with Lloyd Rosen
in Psychology
Life's Issues Radio with Host Lloyd Rosen with his guest Thomas Strawser & Krista Gorman:
Thomas Strawser is an international engineer with a master's degree in psychology. Divorce, alcoholism, and numerous losses in his life led him to seek practical solutions to his despair. Combining his spirituality and knowledge of psychology with his engineering know-how, Thomas discovered profound happiness and peace of mind through the process he calls Spiritual Engineering. This process carried him through the loss of eight siblings, his mother, a nineteen-year daughter, and his wife to cancer. It provided practical tools that kept him free of worry and fear when a rare condition destroyed his corneas and specialists thought he would never recover his vision. Thomas has published articles in Grief magazine, New Leaf magazine, The Spiritual Fellowship Journal, and Guidepost.
Krista Gorman - I am a Physician Assistant practicing in Emergency Medicine. Fourteen years ago and only three weeks after graduating from my PA training program I suffered cardiopulmonary arrest during labor with my daughter. For eight minutes I was without a detectable heart beat and experienced the afterlife during that time. I returned to share my experience, but was too fearful to do so and for many years was very unhappy and discontent. It wasn't until the serious illness of my husband forced me to start breaking down the walls I'd built around me and begin to share the love I knew I was and that we all are. I wrote my book "I Died And Learned How To Live" where I share my experience and Twelve Principles For Daily Living that I arrived at as a result of what I experienced in the afterlife. They were and are the key to my happiness. I am here to share what saved my life with others who are suffering and don't know where to turn.

Special Events at Smith-Gilbert Gardens
Easter Egg Hunt
Mark your calendars, Smith-Gilbert Gardens is hosting the first annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 4! The garden will be open during normal business hours (9am – 4pm). The first hunt will start at 10am and the last hunt will be at 2pm. Your entry fee includes garden admission, 1 Easter egg hunt, a chance to meet the Easter bunny, free craft tables, as well as other vendors. The price for non-member children is $10.00 and adult entry is $7.00. There is a discounted rate for SGG Members ($5.00 per child & adults free) as well as the opportunity to register early.
"We really wanted to provide a unique take on your traditional community Easter Egg Hunt. Each hunt will be planned for the specific age group! That way children of all ages will be challenged and have fun!" said, Christine Davis, Smith-Gilbert Garden's Event Manager. "We hope people will enjoy this unique experience as well as a beautiful spring day in our 16 acre Garden."
There will three group hunts in three separate Garden Collections. This means that each age group will have a hunt that will match their skill level: 0 – 4 year olds will be in the Perennial Garden with tall grass hiding the eggs, our 5 – 8 year olds will get a chance to hunt for eggs along our Woodland Paths, while our 9 – 12 year olds will find it much more difficult to locate eggs in our Conifer Collection. Because of the unique environment of each hunt, pre-registration will be available for each age group/time slot. Due to the limited space, we will not be able to guarantee openings in your age group or time slot on the day of the hunt. All Easter Eggs will be filled with tickets, where children will have the chance to choose their own prizes based on the number of tickets collected from our Prize Table. Also don't miss the opportunity to take some great family photos in the Garden while the flowers are blooming!

Kukla's Korner Hockey
NHLPA Could Lead The Way
by Paul on 08/02/07 at 02:20 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Adam Proteau of the Hockey News,
Imagine, if you will, a press conference with the current NHLPA leadership assembled near the podium. Then imagine one of the players – say, Eric Lindros or Robyn Regehr – stepping to the microphone and making a speech like this:
Beginning today, the NHLPA is rededicating its commitment to the sport of hockey and to the fans who support the game. In doing so, we're taking measures no professional athlete union has taken before.
Firstly, we're instituting our own program to test for steroids, human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing drugs. Our members have agreed to random, multiple blood and urine tests; the program will be implemented by an independent firm, and testing will occur throughout the regular season, playoffs, and off-season.

Network computing posted a good article on tool for assessing cloud ROI. Check it out below.
Posted by David Greenfield, January 08, 2013
Gone are the days when the cloud meant simply a hosted virtual instance or resource on some provider's network. We're seeing all sorts of new variants and twists emerge. I'm not just referring to the use of storage or compute resources or those that allow for elastic computing, such as Amazon's Reserved Instances.
We're likely to see industry-specific community clouds emerge. These clouds are built to address the security and compliance needs within specific industries. Examples of community clouds may well be Verizon's Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) cloud service, which targets the healthcare community; and Metal Lynx, a cloud community targeting buyers and sellers of precious metals.
Other options include private clouds that are managed by a third party off premises, according to Chris Morris, associate VP for Asia/Pacific cloud services and computing at IDC. Morris's prediction is detailed by writer Joe McKendrik in a Fortune Magazine post, "7 Predictions for Cloud Computing in 2013 That Make Perfect Sense."
These variants can sound like just the ticket for certain verticals, but do they make financial sense? That can be harder to judge. And before IT can adopt and/or take responsibility for these cloud services, the same sort of rational, fiscal arguments that have been made for any service or equipment will have to be made with cloud services.
This requirement marks another stage of cloud development, as IT can't simply assume that "going to the cloud" equates to savings. This is a point made by James Staten, Forrester Research's principal analyst serving infrastructure and operations professionals, in a blog post where he notes that many applications are more expensive to run in the cloud.
This is particularly the case when evaluating the use of Reserved Instances, where determining break-even points can be so difficult. There are so many factors to consider-usage patterns, costs, preferences around utilization level, commitment term, and more. The good news: Seven vendors are already offering cloud modeling and costing tools for determining the true cost of cloud services and how best to use on-demand resources.
6Fusion allows IT to benchmark existing cloud operations against public services. Its Workload Allocation Cube (WAC) measures the critical compute resources required to operate an x86-based software application. 6Fusion introduced the Cloud Resource Meter for VMware vSphere during the summer. The company also meters resources running on Linux and Windows environments.
Apptio expanded its line of IT monitoring and costing tools in December with Cloud Express, a free, cloud-costing tool. Cloud Express lets you enter your costing information and receive recommendations for managing your reserved instances across any cloud platform today.
Cloudyn added a tool in the fall that that lets an organization calculate the number, type and duration of Reserved Instances a company should purchase to meet its operational requirements. Cloudyn says it has seen the number of companies using Reserved Instances jump from 29% to 48% in nine months. Supported services are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) and Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS).
Cloud Cruiser is offering tools for chargeback in enterprises and, more recently, service providers. Dashboards let individuals monitor their personal cloud usage. Products are provided for the enterprise (Cloud Cruiser Enterprise Edition) and the Service Provider (Cloud Service Provider Edition), which was announced in December. Cloud Cruiser collects information from Amazon, Microsoft Windows Azure and leading hypervisors.
Cloudability lets you track a wide range of key performance indicators (KPIs) and lets you see whether you're saving money with Reserved Instances. Cloudability works across a wide variety of cloud platforms, including AWS, Google Apps and HP Cloud.
Newvem baselines and tracks the assets, costs and risks of using a cloud service. The platform is available for Amazon EC2 and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) services, and in November the company announced 30 new partnerships with Amazon Partnership Network members. Newvem's Cloud Smart Meter for AWS is a native iPad and iPhone application that lets IT track AWS costs and assets.
Rightscale simulates a cloud deployment to identify costs. You model the deployment and then identify the cost of elasticity and three-year costing. You can also run what-if scenarios. Platforms supported include AWS, Google Compute Engine, Microsoft Azure, Rackspace, and SoftLayer.
The cloud as a term may not be here forever (see point seven of the Forbes article), but whatever you call them, cloud services will not disappear anytime soon and are increasingly viable. The potential savings and agility gains offered by cloud services are too important to IT, but only if IT can get buy-in from management. Demonstrating the real fiscal value-not just the promise-of going to the cloud is best way to secure that purchase order for more cloud services.
David Greenfield is a long-time technology analyst. He currently works in product marketing for Silver Peak.
