Addressing Our Poverty of Perspective
I am growing in my appreciation for a diversity of ears to hear Scripture and a diversity of cultures to interpret God's call on our lives.

I am growing in my appreciation for a diversity of ears to hear Scripture and a diversity of cultures to interpret God's call on our lives.
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
Historian Peter Harrison argues that harmony between faith and science is not as simple as it seems, and some versions of "harmony" can do damage to the Christian faith.
President Haarsma reflects on our big interview with Bill Nye, and explains how it relates to our mission.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
God invites us to understand his power and nature through studying what has been made.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.

The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.
"I believe that we must now ask for more than simple avoidance of cognitive dissonance. I believe we should seek for cognitive consonance."
Carl's dramatic lines that opened his Cosmos were repeated in Cosmos II: "The universe is all there is, or was, or ever will be." When I told Haines Stiles that many people took that as a statement of atheism, he responded with surprise. "Really?" he said. "We just put that in because it sounded poetic!"
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
NeNe Leakes Debuts Edgy New Look: New Hair, Leather Pants, See-Through Shirt, and More! (PHOTOS)
Since she began spending a lot of time on the West Coast earlier this year, NeNe Leakes and her sense of style have undergone a pretty dramatic transformation. She's spiced up her short hair, dying it a notice-me shade of platinum blonde, and ditched her more traditional designer duds for an edgier look.
On Oct. 11, NeNe was spotted arriving at fellow housewife Kyle Richards's store opening, and we bet her updated look turned quite a few heads.
NeNe rocked the lace bra and see-through shirt combo (something she's been doing more of in the past few months), and her hair was pushed up into some mod faux-hawk.
The real winner of the outfit, however, was the trendy leather pants. We're not saying we hate them, but leather just isn't the most forgiving fabric.
What do you think of NeNe's look? Weigh in below!

Rated 5 out of 5�by kyle9080 the best Very comfortable socks. They are my first choice when buying a new pair of sock every time. March 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by BigTed Covered my feet and everything I have a tendency to go through socks pretty quickly. I've only had these socks a week and I can tell they're going to last just as long as most socks that cost this amount of money. The elastic at the top of the sock really prevents them from slipping around the heel and riding my foot like a loose diaper. The words CoolMax stretch to visibility as I slide them onto my powerful butt kickers, giving me the confidence to step out into the big bad world and stomp the yard. February 17, 2015

International experts and guests forthe upcoming National Communication Forum slated from 5-7 December, 2012 have begun arriving in the capital city,Yaounde. On Saturday December 1, 2012, the former Secretary General of the International Organisation of the Francophonie, Jean Louis Roy, arrived at the YaoundeNsimalen, International airport from France to participate in the Forum. Speaking to Cameroon Tribune a few minutes after his arrival, he said he was interested in press-related questions for he had spent ten years in a Canadian newspaper called "Le Devoir". He hinted that issues for discussion during the National Communication Forum are topical everywhere.
While noting that the trendy move by newspapers from print to the electronic versions was inevitable, Jean Louis Roy said, like elsewhere, professionals in Cameroon were preoccupied with searching ways for a better organisation of the profession. The arrival of another expert in communication, French-born Hervé Bourges, has been announced for today Monday December 03, 2012.
Meanwhile, at the Ministry of Communication and the Forum's organising committee, preparations are gearing up for a hitch-free three-day eventto hold at the Conference Centre in Yaounde. Major highlights last week were the appointed of members of the scientific commission to be headed by Professor Jacques Fame Ndongo. The membership cuts across all professions in the communication sector. According to the Executive Coordinator of the Organising Committee, Dr Felix Zogo, the appointment of members of the commission marks the last turn in the preparations and signs of seriousness that will characterise the sessions. 130 members who make up the commission will be divided into nine workshops of 14 members each. They will act as thematic supervisors ensuring that debates and timing are respected. Dr Felix Zogosaid the appointment of eminent personalities and university dons with enough charisma, intellect and authority was to ensure that they willwork with professionals who will be bring field experience into debates. At the end of each day, the commission members will be expected to do reports in collaboration with moderators and rapporteurs. They will all meet at the end of the Forum to brew resolutions to give communication a facelift.
In another domain, the Minister of communication, IssaTchiromaBakary on Thursday in Yaounde received the draft Code of ethics and deontology from an 18-man working group comprised of journalists from public and private press.

Opinion of the Conference of INGOs of the
Council of Europe
on Recommendation 1893(2009)
of the Parliamentary Assembly on the future
of the European Centre for Global Interdependence
and Solidarity (North-South Centre) and the
proposed new Statutory Resolution
on the North-South Centre
Adopted by the Standing Committee on 28 April 2010
Catherine Sophie Dimitroulias, Member of the Bureau of the Conference of INGOs, responsible for the North-South Group of the Europe and Global Challenges Transversal Group
1. On 24 February 2010, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe invited the Conference of INGOs of the Council of Europe to give its opinion on Recommendation 1893 (2009) of the Parliamentary Assembly on the future of the European Centre for Global Interdependence and Solidarity (North-South Centre) and its related proposal for a new Statutory Resolution to update the corresponding Resolution (93) 51.
2. The Conference of INGOs accordingly launched an internal consultation procedure. This opinion is a summary of the contributions of the International Non-Governmental Organisations enjoying participatory status with the Council of Europe which are members of the Conference of INGOs. It was approved by the Europe and Global Challenges Transversal Group of the Conference of INGOs meeting on 26 April 2010, and was adopted by the Standing Committee of the Conference of INGOs on 28 April 2010.
3. The Conference of INGOs welcomes the decision of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to initiate a consultation procedure under which the Conference of INGOs can fully exercise its prerogatives within the Organisation's institutional quadrilogue and transmit the contribution of civil society to the substantive debate on the future of the North-South Centre.
4. The Conference of INGOs welcomes the initiative by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to launch this debate with its Recommendation 1983 (2009), and voices its support for the proposal to adopt a new Statutory Resolution to reaffirm the importance and relevance of the North-South Centre and to extend this Resolution to all Council of Europe member states. The Conference of INGOs approves the proposal for the North-South Centre to operate as an enlarged agreement to be managed autonomously as an institution set up by the Council of Europe. It asks the Committee of Ministers to ensure that all member states of the Organisation participate fully and provide effective support for the activities of the North-South Centre by all the necessary means, including funding.
5. The Conference of INGOs considers that in view of the serious and complex challenges of globalisation, which, coinciding as they are with a world economic crisis, are posing a serious threat to the universal, fundamental values and rights which are vital for the European democratic identity, the Council of Europe is facing a challenge with which it has never before been confronted, namely that of safeguarding, promoting and defending these fundamental values and rights which are its very foundations against all attacks or attempts to sacrifice them to considerations of urgency or expediency. Under the current conditions of global interdependence, the Council of Europe must take up this challenge by reinforcing its field of action and broadening it by opening up to dialogue, partnership and sharing of universal values with Europe's neighbouring countries, particularly those in the South, as well as with the rest of the world.
6. Accordingly, it is vital to reaffirm the raison d'être and added value of the North-South Centre, which endeavours to promote universal respect for the Council of Europe's fundamental values and rights by reinforcing dialogue and co-operation between Europe, its neighbouring regions and the rest of the world. Consequently, respect for universal freedoms and human rights, democracy and the rule of law, which are enshrined in European and international treaties, especially the European Convention for the Safeguard of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, are the sine qua non condition for "dialogue and co-operation between the Council of Europe and non-European countries or regions". The Conference of INGOs calls on the Committee of Ministers to clarify these "values shared by all" in the new Statutory Resolution by affirming the universality, indivisibility and interdependence of human rights. The commitment to respect and promote, in law and in practice, all the universal freedoms and human rights of all individuals in accordance with international law must be highlighted as the criterion for the accession and continued membership of any State wishing to be a member of the North-South Centre, as well as for the participation of any player wishing to become involved in the Centre's activities.
7. To this end, it is equally crucial to encourage the participation of all Council of Europe member states and quadrilogue bodies. The Conference of INGOs welcomes the founding principle of the North-South Centre, which lies in the quadrilogue, and its function of helping "maintain and further enhance a process of quadripartite communication and co-operation between parliamentarians, governments, non-governmental organisations ("NGOs") and local and regional authorities". The Conference of INGOs in particular welcomes the reaffirmed goal of "strengthen(ing) co-operation and contacts between NGOs from the North and South, active in promoting a better understanding of interdependence and in pursuing solidarity in their various dimensions and issue areas".
8. In this spirit, civil society as represented in all its diversity within the Conference of INGOs affirms as a "political priority", "promoting awareness of solidarity in the framework of global interdependence, especially between Europe and its southern neighbours". Solidarity is the bedrock of the future orientations of the Conference of INGOs in promoting the Council of Europe's values: peace, democracy, inalienable and in dissociable human rights, including gender equality, the rule of law, social cohesion, education and culture and sustainable development.
9. Solidarity is constantly proclaimed in the continuing pioneering work of the Conference of INGOs, notably in the field of North-South relations, helped along by the experience on the ground and the energies of its constituent civil society organisations. No one can overlook the unique role played by civil society in everyday defence against violations of human dignity and human rights, creating a chain of human solidarity that transcends borders and unites continents. Civil society is thus recognised as a major player in the international community and a vital partner for the public authorities and the States.
10. "The strengthening of and co-operation with civil society at a global level is an essential part of the Council of Europe's remit: to defend human rights, democracy and the rule of law and to promote awareness of a European identity based on shared universal values and rights, cutting across different cultures". This was the framework for the co-operation agreement concluded between the Conference of INGOs and the North-South Centre on 27 January 2010, geared to reinforcing the existing partnership and mutual support in order to promote solidarity policies in conformity with the goals and principles of the Council of Europe. The Conference of INGOs reaffirms its unreserved support for this common goal. The Conference of INGOs will evaluate the efforts and results with regard to the implementation of this co-operation agreement.
11. The Conference of INGOs and the North-South Centre undertook, on the basis of this agreement, "to work together to promote active partnership with independent civil society in the North and South and its active participation in the main lines of action of the North-South Centre and its programme of activities, not least in key areas of mutual interest such as global education, gender equality, combating poverty and social exclusion, youth, intercultural dialogue, Euro-Mediterranean and Euro-African co-operation, etc." The Conference of INGOs welcomes these ambitious goals, which are the North-South Centre's political priorities. It calls on the Committee of Ministers to include these objectives on its long-term agenda so that the new Statutory Resolution can bring the Centre's current mission into line with the Council of Europe's strategic and political priorities, particularly in the field of co-operation with non-European regions and countries.
12. The Conference of INGOs nevertheless notes that the proposed Statutory Resolution fails to include gender equality among the Centre's priorities, even though this is a universal value and a fundamental right essential to the European democratic identity. The Conference of INGOs recalls that equality between women and men is a preeminent and transversal objective of the international community in all its activities which must be respected by all its stakeholders by virtue of international and European treaties. As a fundamental right, it is a sine qua non for "intercultural dialogue" and must not be made subject to such dialogue. The Conference of INGOs calls on the Committee of Ministers to remedy this serious omission from the new Statutory Resolution by proclaiming gender equality in all fields and the elimination of inequality and violence suffered by women as one of the Centre's transversal objectives and functions.
13. The Conference of INGOs also notes that at this historic time of reform of the North-South Centre, the procedures for representation set out in the proposed Statutory Resolution by no means comply with the principle of the Council of Europe's quadrilogue. The Conference of INGOs, as a Council of Europe quadrilogue body institutionally represented in the bodies of the Centre, only has two seats in the 27-strong membership of the Centre's Executive Council. The Conference of INGOs asks the Committee of Ministers to assign the Conference of INGOs at least three seats on the Executive Council of the North-South Centre, ie half the seats assigned, as is the case for the Parliamentary Assembly and the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe.
14. Lastly, the Conference of INGOs notes that, in future, there is no provision for consulting neither the elected representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly and of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities nor civil society as represented by the Conference of INGOs of the Council of Europe in the Centre, given that the new Statutory Resolution lays down that "other States may be invited to accede to the Centre by a decision of the Committee of Ministers taken by the majority provided for in Article 20.d of the Statute of the Council of Europe". The Conference of INGOs urges the Committee of Ministers to confer consultative rights on the Parliamentary Assembly, the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities and the Conference of INGOs of the Council of Europe in the context of the procedure for examining the accession of States to the North-South Centre and to specify the criteria for such accession.
15. The Conference of INGOs thanks the Committee of Ministers for its attention to this opinion from civil society. It voices the hope that the reform of the North-South Centre will be a symbol for a new era of peace, friendship and dialogue, under the auspices of the Council of Europe, the European Union and the United Nations, which are grounded on the affirmation of and respect for the universal and indivisible fundamental rights that are vital for our common humanity and for the existence of an independent civil society which must be accessible by everyone.
The credibility of Europe in the eyes of its citizens and the rest of the world is at stake here.

Let me first start by saying if you are planning on doing this right and going through the factory securing clips you beter prepare yourself for quite a job. This is much better than the alternative however which is not having access to your engine bay or just cutting a hole through your hood and getting at the cable that way (don't laugh I have seen it done in person).
1. Remove the broken cable from the floor board and its surround this is secured by one 10 mm bolt between the side of the drivers seat and the inside of hood latch under the carpet.
2. Remove the Plastic side door trim that covers your carpet moorings. One screw holding it on in the back of the piece pull it back and slide it out from under the dash.
3. Remove the beauty cover that covers the bottom of the dash there are 7 mm trim screws that secure it into place.
4. Pull back carpet and trace cable going through the grommet into the firewall, This grommet unscrews it is actually threaded.
5. Heres the tricky part if your cable has snapped under the hood, I was able to get my hood open by hand, no tool required. In between the radiator and the front bumper is a space in front of the valence that will allow you to access the latch. All that you can see from this angle is the spring that secures the latch when you close the hood, but you can feel the mechanism. If you push back the valence, you can even see the wire (in its plastic casing) that releases the hood.
By laying on the ground (feet toward the passenger side of the car), I was able to pull the latch open. The latch is spring loaded as well. It swings on a point near the hood itself. In order to release the latch, look for the end of the wire that pulls open the latch. If it's clean it will be bright aluminum. Unfortunately, the reason that it is probably stuck is that it is all gummed up with dirt and grime. You should be able to follow along the wire as I mentioned before and feel the end cap. Pull the lever that the wire is attached to toward the driver's side of the car. It may take some doing, but it should release the latch. (that is the hardest part)
6. Remove driver side Body brace.
7. Remove Windsheild Washer solvent tank.
8. Remove Fuse Usage panel below cruise module not completely just dismount and just set aside.
9. Remove Cruise Control Module not completely just dismount and just set aside.
10. Remove battery and air box brace
11. Remove battery.
12. Remove air box, air cleaner lid, and air intake.
13. Remove head light surrounds on both sides.
14. At this point you have to dissasemble the header panel for the Supreme and its not made in halves, which means it has to be removed from each side. They are all 10mm boldy bolts with a pointed self starting tip threaded into those push in body clips. There are probably 20 or so of these to remove and not all of them visible. When removing the 10 mm botls that secure the side marker relfectors becareful to hold the marker light in place so you dont break off the plastic mounting tabs that secure them to the body this is cheap brittle old plastic and it breaks quite easily if you are not careful. COntinue removing all 10 mm bolts that you can from the top of the car which includes the ones that hold the front top lip of the bumper in place, there are two bolts per side that actually pass through body colored bumper mounting perches. Once all those bolts from the top are removed, get ready to hit the ground.
15. Locate the fog lamp housings and go about 2 inches inboard of them from the inside and look up into the bumper from the bottm with a light you will find a 10 mm bolt holding the header panel in place from the bottom, you will need about a 12 inch extension to get to these bolts remove them from each side.
16. Carefully pull your bumper back and ease the header paenl out of the bumper on the drivers side the headlight harness is long enough to safely accomodate this procedure.
17. Remove the two plastic push in body screws that secure the drivers side top of the valence to the upper radiator support, and pull the valence back to expose the last cable clip that holds the cable in before it goes to the latch assembly. These are circled in red in the second picture.
18. Take a screwdriver and open the metal clip that holds the cable end into the locking mechanism and remove the old cable. There is also a plastic barrel that secures the cable into the body of the vehicle pry this towards the rear of the car and get it out of there wityh a flat blade screw driver. Take cable out of the clips behind the valence and you will also find one on the flat of the innder fender well right behind the battery. Trace the cable back to the firewall, remember you have already unscrewed the grommet. Remove from the inside of the car and discard cable. YEAH you are finally done with the disassembly!
More to come later I am out of time.

When an Anne Arundel County councilman vowed recently to subpoena the county's new police chief to discuss an investigation within the department, Larry W. Tolliver said the legal demand wasn't necessary. Just call me, the chief said.
That low-key approach represents a marked shift from Tolliver's beleaguered predecessor, who appeared before the council after he was subpoenaed and its chairman said its members would consider seeking his arrest if he didn't respond; he came with his attorney and revealed little, citing a continuing grand jury investigation.

Phishers take advantage of Wells Fargo's woes
August 22, 2007
Internet Security Services, IBM's online-security division, claims to have noticed a significant drop in the number of characters used by fraudsters in their phishing URLs.
A post on ISS's Frequency X blog stated that "analysts have been observing host names within fraudulent phishing URLs consistently arrive with lengths of between 30 and 37 characters"; observers "have noted a significant change" as phishing host names have shrunk down to an average of only 17 characters in recent weeks.
Ralf Iffert, researcher for ISS's X-Force threat analysis team and author of the Frequency X blog, believes this is another step in the increasingly sophisticated social-engineering measures adopted by cybercriminals.
Phishers "appear to have adopted shorter URLs to avoid the suspicion of their potential victims," he said.
Steve Reddock, senior IT specialist for ISS, believes that this is a developing trend. "This is a pattern we've noticed over several months; it's not just a blip."
Reddock said phishers often experiment with new techniques, but only for very short periods of time. However, in this case, the tactic of using shortened URLs as a means of deception has been around long enough to be considered a best practice for cybercriminals.
"It has to be making money for them. These groups run very efficient businesses," he said.
Paul Ducklin, head of technology for the Asia-Pacific region at security firm Sophos, said users and security firms alike should be wary of making assumptions based on the character length of a URL, be it long or short.
"We need to be careful about security metrics, which might lead users to assume a reliable correlation between the size of an Internet object and its danger...In any case, your e-mail client may disguise the real URL with a link that looks completely different--not just a different length--from what it really is," he said.
ISS' Reddock claims that as users have become more aware of dangerous links, revenues have declined for phishers, thus prompting the need for new approaches.
"The fact that they felt the need to make this move suggests that they were seeing diminishing returns," Reddock said.
Sophos' Paul Ducklin remains skeptical as to whether this new tactic will make a difference--or whether it is something phishers will continue using.
"Size, as they say, generally doesn't matter," Ducklin added.
Marcus Browne of ZDNet Australia reported from Sydney.

- Shorter names in recent weeks?
- Weeks? If this is the case, does it not suggest that there is actually a very small number of people coordinating these scams?
Or, is there a "phisher central" web site out there where phishers hold a vote to agree on URL lengths? :-)

- I've seen that for a while.
Example : paypal.com could become paypaI.com or paypa1.com, secure-paypal.com, ssl-paypal.com, etc ... (those are already reserved, only one by ebay, the legitimate owner)
Those kind of addresses are then redirected to the compromised server (regular or with frame).
given the size of the problem for various financial institutions, I wonder why there is no central blacklist that could be used for URI checks in antispam softwares such as spamassassin.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Part 1: Cohort 1
Allogeneic Mesenchymal Bone Marrow Cells (0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 million cells/kg)
Biological: Allogeneic Mesenchymal Bone Marrow Cells
Subjects in Part 1 will receive a single intravenous injection of 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 million mesenchymal cells per kilogram body weight, not to exceed 150 million cells total. Subjects in part 2 will receive a single intravenous injection of mesenchymal cells at the Maximum Tolerated Dose, as determined by the safety results of Part 1.
Detailed Description:
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been isolated from a number of sources, including bone marrow, adipose tissue, and peripheral blood. The MSCs manufactured for this study are a subset of non-hematopoietic stem cells derived from the bone marrow of healthy, adult donors. These cells have the ability to migrate to areas of injury in the body and can differentiate into multiple cell types, including cutaneous cells. In addition to contributing directly to repair of the skin by replacing damaged cells, MSCs also stimulate the body's own cells to regenerate.
Though an increasing number of patients are seeking remedies for photoaged skin, current treatments, ranging from topical medications to laser peels, are not ideal methods for addressing the medical need. Because MSCs have been shown in clinical and non-clinical applications to be useful in wound healing, it is also possible that the cells will have a similar effect in skin rejuvenation.
In the present study, we will determine the efficacy and safety of intravenously delivered MSCs in otherwise healthy patients with significant photodamage.

Background and expected deliverables
HDC project PC 186 (O'Neill, 2002) forewarned UK growers of a new form of verticillium wilt
that is a potentially serious risk to the economic production of tomatoes. The problem
affected at least 10 nurseries in 2001 and was confirmed on a similar number in 2002,
affecting crops in England, Wales and Scotland. Previously, a verticillium wilt resistance
gene (Ve), incorporated in to many commercial European tomato varieties and rootstocks
since the late 1970s, had provided good control of verticillium wilt in crops. HDC project PC
186a, in conjunction with Defra project HH3222SPC, is intended as pre-emptive research to
devise a solution before the disease becomes more widespread and damaging.
Key points from the 2002 review were:
• The causal fungus is slow-growing and not always easy to detect in affected plants.
• Many varieties and rootstocks have been affected.
• The disease is a 'slow wilt' in tomatoes and may be confused with wilting caused by
root rotting fungi (e.g. Pythium).
• Growers estimated yield losses at 10 - 15%.
• The disease is difficult to eradicate from a nursery; it tends to occur in the same
glasshouses each year.
• Sources of the disease and how it spreads are unknown.
• Peppers and cucumbers are also susceptible; two lettuce varieties tested were
• No sources of resistance to verticillium, other than the Ve gene, are currently available in
either tomato varieties or rootstocks.

This project aims to increase our understanding of the cause and spread of verticillium wilt
in tomato crops, of crop cultural and management practices that influence disease
expression, and to devise best methods of disease control before the disease becomes very
widespread. The associated Defra-funded project (HH3222SPC) investigated detection,
molecular characterisation and natural suppression of V. albo-atrum in tomato (O'Neill,
Summary of the project and main conclusions
Literature review
The fungus Verticillium albo-atrum, its life cycle, the infection process, host resistance,
disease epidemiology and diagnosis have been reviewed (Year 1 report, November 2004).
Symptoms and yield loss
The new verticillium wilt disease affecting resistant (Ve) varieties of tomato is essentially a
'slow wilt'. Symptoms differ from those of classic verticillium wilt. Thin stems, stunted
growth and reduced leaf size are the most common manifestations of the problem; leaf
wilting at this stage is rare. As the disease progresses, wilting may develop, and eventually,
but not always, the plant may die. At this late stage the pathogen may sporulate on the
stem. Grower estimates suggest a yield loss of 10-15% where wilting is obvious in a
rockwool crop, with occasional dead plants; and 20-25% where plant death is widespread
by September. The problem has been confirmed in rockwool, NFT and soil-grown crops.
Varieties affected
Many resistant (Ve+) varieties have been affected including Carousel, Cloe, Conchita, Eloise,
Encore, Espero, Ferrari, Romalina, Rosa, Sarena and Solairo. Both Espero and Carousel
grafted onto Beaufort and Maxifort rootstocks were found to be infected after 10 weeks but
apart from slight vascular discolouration the scions did not show symptoms (i.e. these
rootstocks are susceptible to Verticillium although in the presence of the pathogen they may
offer advantages over ungrafted plants because of enhanced root vigour).
© 2006 Horticultural Development Council
Causal fungus
The Verticillium species isolated most consistently from wilt-affected plants was V. albo-
atrum. V. dahliae, V. nigrescens and V. tricorpus were isolated occasionally in recent
outbreaks (isolate identity confirmed by DNA sequence analysis by D Barbara, Warwick
HRI). Previous inoculation studies (O'Neill, 2002a) confirmed that V. albo-atrum isolated in
1999 from cv. Espero (Ve+) in the UK was equally damaging to susceptible (cv. Shirley) and
resistant plants (cv. Trio and a numbered variety).
Occurrence of Verticillium in commercial crops
In October 2005 at the end of cropping, the incidence of Verticillium was determined in the
stem bases of 14 crops. Verticillium was confirmed in 12 crops with up to 89% of stems
infected. The mean incidence of stem infection was no greater in crops where verticillium
wilt was considered to be present (7) than in crops where there were no symptoms of the
disease (7). Affected plants were found in all counties where crops were examined (Isle of
Wight, Kent, Lancs, Norfolk, Yorks), and in crops grown in the soil, on rockwool slabs and in
NFT. These results suggest that infection of tomato stem bases by Verticillium is relatively
common at the end of cropping, and that infection is often symptomless.
In November 2006 at the end of the growing season, the distribution of infected plants was
examined in 10 adjacent rows of a crop grown on rockwool slabs. There were no obvious
symptoms of verticillium wilt in the crop. Verticillium was found in the stem base of 45% of
120 plants. The number of infected plants on either side of the double rows of plants were
similar (28/60 and 26/60), with no clear evidence of along-the-row spread. In only two of the
30 slabs were all four plants infected (there were two plants per propagation block and two
blocks per rockwool slab). A further seven slabs had three positive, eight had two positive,
none had one positive and four had no positives. These figures indicate that movement of
Verticillium within a slab is not guaranteed even when there is more that one plant infected.
Comparing the two plants in the same propagation block (where roots are presumably
intermingled), 12 out of 60 blocks had both plants positive, but 30 had only one and a
further 18 had neither infected. These results strongly suggest that both plants did not
become infected when one of them became infected. Possible explanations for this failure
of both plants in a block to be infected (where one is infected) are a low inoculum, different
times of infection or a means of spread other than through the roots. If there is a means of
spread above the root zone, possible methods are by airborne spores, insects and through
handling plants.

Sources of V. albo-atrum on a nursery
Tomato crops on some nurseries and in certain glasshouse become infected by V. albo-
atrum each year despite apparently thorough nursery hygiene and intensive disinfection
between crops. Tests were undertaken to try and identify possible areas where V. albo-
atrum might persist on a nursery between crops.
A molecular method based on PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) for the specific and
sensitive detection of V. albo-atrum, developed in a parallel Defra-funded project
(HH3222SPC), was used to test various potential sources of the fungus. The detection limit
of the PCR test is around 1,000 spores. The fungus was not detected on tomato seed, in
rockwool taken from slabs, insects on sticky traps, or on drip pegs, all collected from an
affected crop. Samples of crop debris, volunteer tomato seedlings, fallen leaves and fruit,
and pathway sweepings were also negative. Further testing of samples (e.g. seed) is
considered warranted when a detection method with a lower sensitivity is developed.
An inoculation experiment did not support the hypothesis that infected seed are a source of
verticillium wilt in tomato. Tomato seeds inoculated with conidia of V. albo-atrum
germinated normally and, when grown on for 4 weeks, no symptoms of verticillium wilt
developed. However, further seed testing is needed before a firm conclusion can be drawn
regarding seed transmission of V. albo-atrum in tomato.
Spread of V. albo-atrum
The current literature indicates that infection by V. albo-atrum invariably occurs via the
roots. There are no reports of aerial dissemination of V. albo-atrum spores in tomato crops.
Nevertheless, there appears to be potential for above-ground spread. Stem lesions bearing
sporulating V. albo-atrum sometimes develop on tomato plants that have died following
infection by the fungus, especially late in the season. Also, sporulation of V. albo-atrum has
been observed on the undersurface of infected leaves if they are maintained in a humid
chamber, and on tomato debris in soil. Season-long spore trapping was therefore
undertaken on a nursery in Kent with a history of the disease to examine whether aerial
dissemination of the fungus occurs.

Air was aspirated onto Vaseline-coated slides, the Vaseline removed and tested for V. albo-
atrum by PCR. V. albo-atrum was detected in the 2003/04 and 2004/05 crops (Table 1). V.
albo-atrum was not detected in 2005/06 even though the end-of-season level of Verticillium
in the crop was very similar to those of the earlier years. In 2003/04, the fungus was
detected before symptoms were seen in the crop. These results indicate that above-ground
spread of V. albo-atrum may account for outbreaks of the disease and spread within a
glasshouse crop. The fungus was not detected in the air on a nursery in Norfolk where
spore trapping was undertaken from March to May 2005 following occurrence of verticillium
wilt symptoms in a few plants in February.

Each year the old crop was removed in early November and the new crop was planted in December.
Detection and monitoring of V. albo-atrum in commercial crops
Damp incubation and microscopic examination of leaf petioles slices was found to be a
useful method for detection of Verticillium in tomatoes without destroying the plant. This
method was used to examine the occurrence of the disease within commercial crops. In
2004, in a crop of cv. Encore where a few plants at a row end were visibly affected by
verticillium wilt, 15% of apparently healthy plants along the row were also found to be
infected. None of these plants developed obvious symptoms of verticillium wilt in the
subsequent 8 weeks.
© 2006 Horticultural Development Council
On a nursery in Kent with a history of verticillium wilt, rockwool crops were monitored for the
disease at intervals throughout 2004, 2005 and 2006. Wilting was first seen in the crops, at
a very low level, at the end of January 2004, and Verticillium was confirmed. There was little
visual affect of the disease for most of the season, although the plants thinned in the head
in midsummer. The incidence of infected plants of cv. Encore, determined by testing leaf
petioles, increased from 6.5% in March to 21.2% in October. When stem bases were
tested at crop pull-out in late October, 65% of stems were found to be infected. In 2005,
the incidence of Verticillium in petioles of a crop of cv. Encore at this site increased from
1.8% in March to 50% by early August; 92% of stem bases were infected by crop pull-out
on 15 October; verticillium wilt was not obvious in the crop. In 2006, the incidence of
Verticillium in petioles of a crop of cv. Encore at this site was 22% in early September; 59%
of stem bases were infected at crop pull-out in early November. Again, verticillium wilt was
not obvious in the crop.
Inoculum level and plant age
An inoculum level of just 100 spores applied as a drench to tomato seedlings at two, four
and six true leaves growth stages, resulted in development of wilt symptoms after around 5
weeks irrespective of seedling age. Seedlings inoculated with a higher inoculum of
1,000,000 conidia developed wilt symptoms after 4 weeks. Not all inoculated plants had
developed symptoms by 10 weeks after inoculation. The severity of symptoms increased
with spore concentration from 100 to 1,000,000 spores/plant.
Detection of V. albo-atrum within stems following root and leaf scar inoculation
Ten weeks after inoculation of plants by drenching spores into the root zone, V. albo-atrum
was confirmed by a specific PCR test in vascular tissue at the stem base and 50 cm above
the stem base. Using this method, V. albo-atrum DNA (either mycelium or spores) was
detected in plants inoculated with 106 spores/ml but not with the lower inoculum levels even
though these treatments showed wilt symptoms.
Following inoculation of V. albo-atrum spores onto fresh leaf scars of tomato seedlings, the
fungus was detected by PCR in surface sterilised stem tissue 1 cm above and 1 cm below
the inoculation point. This result indicates V. albo-atrum is present within the stem to this

Effect of plant growth and environmental factors on symptom expression
Measures which reduce water stress on a tomato crop appear to slow the development of
verticillium wilt, and those which increase water stress enhance development of the disease.
In the Netherlands, for example, removal of some fruit from trusses is suggested as a
control measure. In chrysanthemum, verticillium wilt symptom expression is affected by
growth stage and tends to show as plants come into flower. In field-grown tomatoes,
verticillium wilt is reported to be worse when root growth is restricted (eg by a soil pan). A
series of experiments was therefore undertaken to investigate the effect of various plant
growth and environment factors on symptom expression of tomato wilt caused by V. albo-
Experiments on tomatoes grown in peat bags indicated that the severity of verticillium wilt
symptoms is affected by fruit load and the extent of sideshoot growth. Wilt severity was
reduced by reducing the fruit load and by regular removal of sideshoots.
Following drench inoculation with a standard inoculum of V. albo-atrum spores, plants
grown in compost that was kept moist developed verticillium wilt symptoms whereas plants
grown dry did not. Possibly this was due to death of conidia in the plants watered
infrequently and allowed to dry out. A subsequent experiment on the effect of air-drying on
spore viability showed that wetted conidia of V. albo-atrum survived drying for 6h but not for
24h. Previous studies indicated that conidia of V. dahliae are capable of surviving for up to
2 weeks in soil (Green, 1969).
Eight weeks after inoculation, pot-grown plants simultaneously inoculated with
Phytophthora cryptogea, a pathogen which reduces root function, and V. albo-atrum, were
significantly reduced in height, by 14-20 cm, compared with plants inoculated with either
fungus alone.
The effect of daylength on expression of verticillium wilt symptoms was examined by
growing inoculated plants, cv. Espero, in growth rooms with 8 h and 16 h days. No
consistent effect was observed.
© 2006 Horticultural Development Council
Effect of rootstock on wilt development
The basis of resistance to Verticillium (the Ve gene) is the same in rootstocks as in F1
varieties. However, expression of resistance in rootstocks compared with F1 varieties may
be affected by modifier genes, the genetic background or the greater vigour of rootstocks.
The susceptibility of grafted and ungrafted plants was compared by drench inoculation of V.
albo-atrum spores onto the roots of potted plants. No verticillium wilt symptoms had
developed after 6 weeks. Surprisingly, a significantly greater incidence of stem base
infection was detected in grafted than in ungrafted plants. Only a very low incidence of
Verticillium infection was detected in stems of both grafted and ungrafted plants at 10 cm or
more above the stem base. No conclusions on the effect of grafting onto a rootstock on V.
albo-atrum in stems could be drawn because of the lack of symptoms and the low
incidence of stem infection above the base.
Fungicide efficacy
Six fungicide treatments were evaluated for control of verticillium wilt in tomato plants cv.
Shirley. The fungicides were applied as a drench to the compost surface before and/or after
inoculation with 106 conidia of V. albo-atrum in water. Amistar was phytotoxic and plants
were severely stunted. Verticillium wilt symptoms (leaf sector yellowing) were seen 28 days
after inoculation in all but the Amistar treated plants. By 44 days after inoculation,
significantly fewer leaves and plants were infected in the fungicide-treated plants than in the
inoculated control (Fig 1). At this time there was significantly better control (% leaves
affected) with two carbendazim drenches (Delsene 50 Flo) than with a single application.
Infection within stems was confirmed in all of the fungicide treatments.
In a further experiment on cv. Shirley, the efficacy of carbendazim was evaluated as a
curative treatment. Delsene 50 Flo applied as a drench significantly reduced symptom
development in infected plants, including plants already showing symptoms at the time of
application (Table 2).
Five isolates of V. albo-atrum obtained from tomato between 2000 and 2005 were tested for
their sensitivity to carbendazim (as Delsene 50 Flo) in agar plate tests. Mycelial growth of all
isolates was completely inhibited at concentrations of 2 mg/L or greater (i.e. there was no
evidence of fungicide resistance).

Contamination and disinfection of hands
Spores of V. albo-atrum were found to be surprisingly persistent on hands and were
relatively difficult to remove by washing. Once contaminated by touching a sporulating stem
lesion, a thumb was still transmitting V. albo-atrum after 160 sequential contacts with an
agar plate. Even after washing with warm water and soap for 30 seconds, transmission of V.
albo-atrum occurred for over 50 sequential contacts.
Bare hands were effectively cleaned of V. albo-atrum by rubbing with Med Gel for 1 minute;
washing in warm water and soap for 1 minute was not effective. Latex gloves also
transmitted V. albo-atrum but were easier to clean; both Med Gel (1 minute) and warm water
and soap (1 minute) were effective.
Financial benefits
The UK area of protected tomatoes in 2003 was estimated at 179 ha (4 ha unheated), with a
total farm-gate value of around £80.1 million (Defra – Basic Horticultural Statistics for the
United Kingdom). Assuming that 5% of the cropped areas suffers a 10% loss due to
verticillium wilt, this equates to £400,425 per annum. Development of an effective strategy
to control verticillium wilt will thus have a significant financial benefit.

Action points for growers
• Become familiar with the symptoms of 'slow wilt' caused by V. albo-atrum in
resistant (Ve+) varieties. These are illustrated and described in HDC Factsheet 15/01.
• If you suspect plants are affected by verticillium wilt, have affected plants examined
by a plant pathologist or tested at a diagnostic laboratory. The incidence of
verticillium in a crop can be assessed in a non-destructive manner by tests on leaf
• Carefully and promptly remove severely wilted or dead plants that are infected by V.
albo-atrum. Sporulation of V. albo-atrum can occur on stem lesions of dying plants
late in the season, and there is evidence of aerial dissemination of these spores.
Possibly sporulation may also occur on leaf debris, earlier in the season. Although no
sporulation of Verticillium was found on leaves in affected crops we examined,
abundant sporulation developed when affected leaves were incubated in a humid
• Do not re-use rockwool slabs from an affected crop, either for tomato or another
verticillium-susceptible crop.
• Do not handle stem lesions. After touching a sporulating Verticillium stem lesion,
hands will be contaminated with spores of the fungus and they could spread the
disease (e.g. via fresh de-leafing scars) to healthy plants
• Hands or latex gloves contaminated with V. albo-atrum spores can be disinfected by
rubbing in Med Gel for 1 minute.
• Keep up with sideshoot trimming in an infected crop to reduce the risk of verticillium
wilt symptom development.
• Apply measures to reduce stress on infected plants, such as use of shade screen in
very bright conditions immediately after dull weather, adjusting heating and
ventilation, and reducing a very high fruit load.
© 2006 Horticultural Development Council
• Consider treatment with an approved carbendazim fungicide (eg Cleancrop Curve,
Delsene 50 Flo) if verticillium wilt is confirmed in a crop. A root drench treatment
reduced symptom development in infected plants, including plants already showing
symptoms at the time of application.
• Take precautions to minimise the risk of other diseases affecting the crop. Grower
observations, and research in the Netherlands, indicate rapid development of wilt
and plant death may occur when a crop is affected by both Pepino mosaic virus and
verticillium wilt. There is also evidence that severe reductions in growth occur when
a plant is affected by both verticillium wilt and Phytophthora root rot.
• Clean and disinfect the glasshouse and all associated equipment after an outbreak
of the disease. See HDC Factsheet 15/01 for more details.
• The disinfectants Harvest Wash, Jet 5, sodium hypochlorite, Trigene, Unifect G and
Virkon S are all fully effective against conidia of V. albo-atrum when used at their
standard rate and with a contact time of 5 minutes or greater.
• Only Panacide M and Unifect G eliminated V. albo-atrum mycelium grown on filter
paper discs following a 5 minutes contact time. Sodium hypochlorite was effective
after 30 mins. Consider using Unifect G to disinfect areas contaminated with V.
albo-atrum and soil or organic matter.
