A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest.Though often misunderstood to refer only to insecticides, the term pesticide also applies to herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, molluscicides and various other substances used to control pests. Under United States federal law, any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant or desiccant is also considered a pesticide.
Pests are living organisms that occur where they are not wanted or that cause damage to crops or humans or other animals. Examples include:
- insects,
- mice and other animals,
- unwanted plants (weeds),
- fungi,
- microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, and
- prions. (See This PDF)
Many household products are pesticides. All of these common products are considered pesticides:
- Cockroach sprays and baits;
- Insect repellents for personal use;
- Rat and other rodent poisons;
- Flea and tick sprays, powders, and pet collars;
- Kitchen, laundry, and bath disinfectants and sanitizers;
- Products that kill mold and mildew;
- Some lawn and garden products, such as weed killers; and
- Some swimming pool chemicals.
Types of Pesticides
- Algicides - Control algae in lakes, canals, swimming pools, water tanks, and other sites.
- Antifouling agents - Kill or repel organisms that attach to underwater surfaces, such as boat bottoms.
- Antimicrobials - Kill microorganisms (such as bacteria and viruses).
- Attractants - Attract pests (for example, to lure an insect or rodent to a trap). (However, food is not considered a pesticide when used as an attractant.)
- Biocides - Kill microorganisms.
- Disinfectants and sanitizers - Kill or inactivate disease-producing microorganisms on inanimate objects.
- Fungicides - Kill fungi (including blights, mildews, molds, and rusts).
- Fumigants - Produce gas or vapor intended to destroy pests in buildings or soil.
- Herbicides - Kill weeds and other plants that grow where they are not wanted.
- Insecticides - Kill insects and other arthropods.
- Miticides (also called acaricides) - Kill mites that feed on plants and animals.
- Microbial pesticides - Microorganisms that kill, inhibit, or out compete pests, including insects or other microorganisms.
- Molluscicides - Kill snails and slugs.
- Nematicides - Kill nematodes (microscopic, worm-like organisms that feed on plant roots).
- Ovicides - Kill eggs of insects and mites.
- Pheromones - Biochemicals used to disrupt the mating behavior of insects.
- Repellents - Repel pests, including insects (such as mosquitoes) and birds.
- Rodenticides - Control mice and other rodents.
The term pesticide also includes these substances:
- Defoliants - Cause leaves or other foliage to drop from a plant, usually to facilitate harvest.
- Desiccants - Promote drying of living tissues, such as unwanted plant tops.
- Insect growth regulators - Disrupt the molting, maturity from pupal stage to adult, or other life processes of insects.
- Plant growth regulators - Substances (excluding fertilizers or other plant nutrients) that alter the expected growth, flowering, or reproduction rate of plants.
Chemical Pesticides
Some examples of chemically-related pesticides are
- Organophosphate Pesticides - These pesticides affect the nervous system by disrupting the enzyme that regulates acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. Most organophosphates are insecticides. They were developed during the early 19th century, but their effects on insects, which are similar to their effects on humans, were discovered in 1932. Some are very poisonous (they were used in World War II as nerve agents). However, they usually are not persistent in the environment.
- Carbamate Pesticides affect the nervous system by disupting an enzyme that regulates acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. The enzyme effects are usually reversible. There are several subgroups within the carbamates.
- Organochlorine Insecticides were commonly used in the past, but many have been removed from the market due to their health and environmental effects and their persistence (e.g. DDT and chlordane). (see Chlorinated pesticides)
- Pyrethroid Pesticides were developed as a synthetic version of the naturally occurring pesticide pyrethrin, which is found in chrysanthemums. They have been modified to increase their stability in the environment. Some synthetic pyrethroids are toxic to the nervous system.
Biopesticides are certain types of pesticides derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. For example, canola oil and baking soda have pesticidal applications and are considered biopesticides. At the end of 2001, there were approximately 195 registered biopesticide active ingredients and 780 products. Biopesticides fall into three major classes:
- Microbial pesticides consist of a microorganism (e.g., a bacterium, fungus, virus or protozoan) as the active ingredient. Microbial pesticides can control many different kinds of pests, although each separate active ingredient is relatively specific for its target pest[s]. For example, there are fungi that control certain weeds, and other fungi that kill specific insects.
The most widely used microbial pesticides are subspecies and strains of Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt. Each strain of this bacterium produces a different mix of proteins, and specifically kills one or a few related species of insect larvae. While some Bt's control moth larvae found on plants, other Bt's are specific for larvae of flies and mosquitoes. The target insect species are determined by whether the particular Bt produces a protein that can bind to a larval gut receptor, thereby causing the insect larvae to starve
- Plant-Incorporated-Protectants (PIPs) are pesticidal substances that plants produce from genetic material that has been added to the plant. For example, scientists can take the gene for the Bt pesticidal protein, and introduce the gene into the plant's own genetic material. Then the plant, instead of the Bt bacterium, manufactures the substance that destroys the pest. The protein and its genetic material, but not the plant itself, are regulated by EPA.
- Biochemical pesticides are naturally occurring substances that control pests by non-toxic mechanisms. Conventional pesticides, by contrast, are generally synthetic materials that directly kill or inactivate the pest. Biochemical pesticides include substances, such as insect sex pheromones, that interfere with mating, as well as various scented plant extracts that attract insect pests to traps. Because it is sometimes difficult to determine whether a substance meets the criteria for classification as a biochemical pesticide, EPA has established a special committee to make such decisions.
A pest control "device" is any instrument or contrivance (other than a firearm) intended for trapping, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest. Although pest control devices are not required to be registered with EPA, some other regulatory requirements do apply. Some common examples of such pest control devices that are subject to the other regulatory requirements are:
- Ultraviolet light systems, certain water and air filters, or ultrasonic devices that make claims that the device kills, inactivates, entraps, or suppresses growth of fungi, bacteria, or viruses in various sites;
- High frequency sound generators, carbide cannons, foils, and rotating devices that make claims about repelling pests, such as birds and mice.
- Black-light traps, fly traps (without an attractant substance other than food), electronic and heat screens, fly ribbons, glueboards and fly paper that make claims about killing or entrapping insects; and
- Mole thumpers, sound repellants, foils and rotating devices that make claims about repelling certain mammals.
For more information on devices, see Pest Control Devices.
Risks and benefits of pesticides
By their very nature, most pesticides create some risk of harm. Pesticides can cause harm to humans, animals, or the environment because they are designed to kill or otherwise adversely affect living organisms.At the same time, pesticides are useful to society. Pesticides can kill potential disease-causing organisms and control insects, weeds, and other pests.
Biologically-based pesticides, such as pheromones and microbial pesticides, are becoming increasingly popular and often are safer than traditional chemical pesticides. In addition, EPA is registering reduced-risk conventional pesticides in increasing numbers.
Regulation of pesticides
In the United States, pesticides are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). In addition, under FIFRA, a substance used as a plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant is defined as a pesticide and regulated accordingly. All pesticides must be registered and carry a label approved by EPA.
The U.S. definition of pesticides is quite broad, but it does have some exclusions:
- Drugs used to control diseases of humans or animals (such as livestock and pets) are not considered pesticides; such drugs are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.
- Fertilizers, nutrients, and other substances used to promote plant survival and health are not considered plant growth regulators and thus are not pesticides.
- Biological control agents, except for certain microorganisms, are exempted from regulation by EPA. (Biological control agents include beneficial predators such as birds or ladybugs that eat insect pests.)
- Products which contain certain low-risk ingredients, such as garlic and mint oil, have been exempted from Federal registration requirements, although State regulatory requirements may still apply. For a list of ingredients which may be exempt, and a discussion of allowable label claims for such products, see EPA's Pesticide Registration Notice 2000-6, "Minimum Risk Pesticides Exempted under FIFRA Section 25(b)" (33 KB, PDF).
Unlike pesticides, EPA does not require devices to be registered with the Agency. Devices are subject to certain labeling, packaging, record keeping, and import/export requirements, however. In addition, the establishment where a device is produced must be registered with EPA who will assign an Establishment Number.

The SunTouch LoudMouth Monitor sounds an alarm if the SunTouch Heating Wire is cut or damaged, allowing for easy repair BEFORE the mat is covered with Mortar & Tile. We highly recommend the LoudMouth invented and patented by SunTouch.
Connect it during the ENTIRE installation of your SunTouch Mats to monitor the Heating Elements and give yourself the assurance of a Quality Installation. The LoudMouth Monitor is Another SunTouch innovation - Our design is unique and has more features than recent imitators.
How the LoudMouth Works:
- Insert each lead wire from the heating product into L1 and L2 terminals (no polarity) with the ground wire inserted into the G terminal. Tighten the terminal screws onto the wires.
- Set switch to ON position.
- Green light indicates the LoudMouth is operating.
- The red light and alarm indicate lead wires have come loose from terminals or damage has occurred to the heating product.
- Press the TEST button to simulate a damage condition before beginning work.
Of course, you can also monitor the installation with only your digital multi-meter to verify resistance (ohms); but you will have to watch it throughout the installation process. The Loudmouth is nicknamed 'The Screamer' and is optional, but provides peace of mind during the installation process or between the installation of the Mats and the Tile (if there is a time gap between when the mats are laid out unprotected and covering them with mortar).
LoudMouth Monitor Features:
- A very Loud Alarm Simple operation with an On/Off Switch and a TEST button
- 9V battery operated (included)
- A green light to indicate GO and a Red light to indicate STOP, there's damage - Fix it now
- Screwdriver included for attaching mat leads 1 LoudMouth can be used to monitor up to 3 mats at once
**Important: a Multi Meter to measure OHMS is still required to test resistance before, during, and after installation. The Loudmouth DOES NOT replace the use of an Ohm meter - it's just another SunTouch Innovation to help your installation go smoothly.

Kilauea Volcano Activity Update (from Hawaiian Volcano Observatory)
Kilauea volcanic activity continues with lava visible at two locations:
1) At the summit crater, the lava lake level is remaining below the rim but lava is visible as a bright glow at night from the Jaggar Museum in Volcanoes National Park. The lava lake level fluctuates daily. (Great viewing from the rim of the crater, at the Jaggar Museum in the National Park.)
2) On the east rift zone vent, the flow is moving slowly and some days remains stalled in the vicinity of Pahoa Town. The surface lava is located through a forest preserve and burning some trees in its path. (See this by helicopter.)
The county of Hawaii has set up a viewing area for the public to see the Pahoa lava flow. The hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and it's a great way to see the most recent flow up close.

Sears Layaway
Sears Layaway is a flexible no-interest payment plan that allows you to pay for your purchase over a period of a few weeks or up to a few months by breaking down your total into several equal payments. Your merchandise is put on hold until the balance is paid, at which time you can either pick them up at a local store or have them shipped to your home. Sears Layaway is a great way to lock in today's prices, even when you're shopping on a budget.
Sears Layaway offers eight and twelve week layaway plans for both in-store and online purchases. For the online layaway option, just add the items to your cart and set up the layaway process during checkout. For the in-store layaway option, simply bring your items to the register and the cashier will initiate the layaway process for you. For the eight week plan, a $5 service fee and a $20 or 20% (whichever is greater) are required to get the layaway contract started. From there, your balance is broken down into four bi-weekly payments which can be made online or in-store at the register.
The twelve week plan is only available for in-store purchases of $400 or more and requires a $10 service fee and a $35 or 20% down payment (whichever is greater) to get the layaway contract started. On the twelve week plan, the balance is broken down into six bi-weekly payments, which can also be paid online or in-store.
Aside from their retail products like clothing, apparel and accessories, Sears also offers a wide range of other services with money-saving offers as well, such as Sears Outlet, Sears Automotive, Sears Portrait Studio and Sears Driving School.
Sears Outlet
Sears Outlet is sort of like the "Scratch and Dent" section where you can find deep discounts on discontinued products, returned merchandise, seasonal products and floor model appliances. Sears Outlet products are all covered by Sears Return Policy and usually a complete manufacturer's warranty as well. Even though the Outlet products are being offered at discounts of up to 60% off retail in some cases, you can save even more by shopping their Outlet's "Deal of The Day" promotion.
Sears Auto Service
Sears Auto Service is available at more than 700 locations across the US. You can schedule your auto service with Sears online any time for your convenience. Sears Auto Service offers oil change services, tire and wheel services and brake services along with select suspension and electrical services as well.

Each tier comes with an unconditional guarantee ensures free and proper alignment during the purchased coverage period and includes road testing and inspection of all integral steering and suspension components.
The price of tires at Sears will vary greatly, depending on a number of factors. Size, brand and insurance coverage are just a few of the ways tire prices are determined. However, when buying tires online at Sears, be sure to check their "Current Offers" section in the Tires and Wheels department to find online specials and clearance pricing on select products.
A basic oil change at Sears costs about $30 for most vehicles and includes complimentary inspection of all your vehicle's fluid levels, such as wipers and power steering, in addition to inspection of other vehicle components like belts, wiper blades and hoses. A synthetic oil change at Sears costs about $60 for most vehicle and includes all the complimentary inspections as a basic oil change, in addition to inspection and inflation of your tires – if needed.
Sears Portrait Studio
Most Sears locations have a Portrait Studio on-site that takes professional portraits while you wait. You can pre-schedule your sitting online – which is recommended, but not required. Sears Portrait Studio specializes in all kinds of photography – from newborns to large groups – and offers a wide range of props and backgrounds to suit any occasion or style.
Sears Portrait Studio's prices vary, depending on the number of poses, subjects and pictures desired. However, you can always find great deals in their "Offers" section of the website. Sears Portrait Studio also has a number of ongoing promotions – like a free 8x10 print for birthdays and free birth announcements for newborns – so be sure to inquire about those when your book your sitting.

About Sears
Sears was founded in 1886 as a mail-order company that only sold watches, but by the time their first catalog was printed in 1888, the company had expanded to include a wide range of products – including farm equipment – that appealed to rural shoppers. By 1894, the Sears product line included everything from sewing machines to cars and their catalog had grown to more than 300 pages in length. By 1895, Sears was reporting annual sales of $800,000 – an unheard of amount of money at that time.
In 1925, Sears opened their first brick and mortar store on a sprawling 40 acre compound that would include a shipping warehouse, catalog printing plant, headquarters and office complex. Sears continued to expand well into the 1950s, at which time they focused efforts on entering the suburban markets and malls. In 1974, Sears claimed its place at the top of the retail ladder by completing the world famous Sears Tower, which at the time was hailed the tallest building in the world. The Sears Tower would serve at the company's consolidated headquarters for the next two decades.
Today, Sears has more than 1,300 branded and affiliated stores in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico, including 790 full-line stores and 50 specialty retail locations. Sears also owns K-Mart and Land's End brands as well.

Please join the Forsyth County Humane Society for the Pups in the Park event Wednesday, August 31 at the BB&T Dash Field in Winston-Salem!
Dog owners can enjoy a night out with their best friend watching the Dash open, a three-game series with the Salem Red Sox. This event is the first of its kind at BB&T Ballpark, and sponsored by Carolina Pet Place. For $15, fans receive a game ticket for the Nature's Select Knoll that spans fair and foul territory in left field, in addition to one Pooch Pass for their dog to attend the game. Before the game, the dogs will be able to walk on the warning track in a Pup Parade.
Included in the ticket price is a $5 donation to the Forsyth County Humane Society, and a portion of those proceeds will benefit the Dog Park at Tanglewood coming in 2012. The Dog Park at Tanglewood Committee is in the process of raising funds for the dog park, and you can donate now at www.dogparkattanglewood.org.
Each dog that attends the ballgame needs to have written proof of vaccination (specifically rabies) from a veterinarian. Pooch Passes are also in limited supply, so fans are encouraged to contact Sarah Baumann in the Winston-Salem Dash ticket office at (336) 714-6878 to reserve their tickets.

Two Frederick County Sheriff's Office deputies are on administrative leave after an officer-involved shooting early this morning left a home invasion suspect dead.
Around 1 a.m., the Sheriff's Office Special Services Team detonated a "flash bang" device to gain entry into the two-bedroom apartment of Daniel Vail, 19, in Mt. Airy.
Vail, who was one of the suspects in the home invasion robbery, was in one of the bedrooms and pointed a shotgun toward the deputies, according to the sheriff's office.
Deputies made several commands directing Vail to put down the gun, but he did not comply. Two of the sheriff's team members fired numerous rounds from their issued handguns striking Vail. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police took Vail's 46-year-old mother in for questioning and she was later released.
After the shooting, Frederick County Bureau of Investigation investigators secured the residence until they could obtain a search warrant.
Around 6 a.m. this morning, Frederick County and Howard County investigators along with Sheriff's Office evidence technicians began processing the scene.
Evidence technicians recovered numerous shell casings and will be working with investigators to determine the number of shots fired by the involved deputies.
Deputies Charles Zang, a 15-year veteran of the office, and Kevin Riffle, a 7-year veteran of the office, were identified as the involved officers and have been placed on paid administrative leave.
Vail's body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore and an autopsy will be completed tomorrow.
In June 2005, Zang shot and killed Charles Nobel Sines at his Araby Church home after Sines refused to drop his shotgun.

Shop downtown ... if you can get out of the car
What is all this talk about getting people to go downtown and shop. This past weekend the city had cleaned snow off Sixth Street from Richmond Avenue south, in which they did a very good job. But we went downtown thinking that the streets would be cleaned up and would you believe it — we couldn't even get the car door open to let the person in the passenger seat out due to the amount of snow piled up. No wonder no one goes downtown to shop. Let's get your priorities in order.

The Eyrie is the principal stronghold of House Arryn. It is located in the Vale of Arryn near the east coast of Westeros. The Eyrie straddles the top of a peak in the Mountains of the Moon several thousand feet above the valley floor below. It is approached by a narrow causeway and road. Those who would approach the Eyrie must pass through three way-castles guarding the ascent. For these reasons, the Eyrie is considered impregnable to attack.
The High Hall of the Eyrie is the main audience chamber, where the Lord of the Vale greets visitors from a throne made of weirwood. A notable feature of the chamber is the Moon Door, a hatch built into the floor through which people can fall to the floor of the Vale far below. Being thrown through the Moon Door is the preferred method of execution at the Eyrie.
Prisoners at the Eyrie are incarcerated in the "sky cells", cells which are open on one side to the air. There is a very slight slope in the cells, and prisoners must be careful not to roll out of the cell in their sleep and plummet to their deaths.[1]
Notable residents of the Eyrie
- Lord {Jon Arryn}, former Lord of the Eyrie, Defender of the Vale, and Warden of the East. Served as Hand of the King to King Robert Baratheon before being poisoned.
- Lady Lysa Arryn, the current ruler of the castle.
- Lord Robin Arryn, Lysa's son and titular head of House Arryn, although he will not formally inherit the title for many more years.
- Ser {Vardis Egen}, captain of the guards. Killed by the sellsword Bronn while championing for Lord Robin during a trial by combat.
- Mord, the castle's jailor and keeper of the sky cells.
- Lord {Eddard Stark}, Lord Paramount of the North, was fostered as a child by Jon Arryn at the same time as Robert Baratheon.
- King {Robert Baratheon}, King of the Andals and the First Men was fostered as a child by Jon Arryn at the same time as Ned Stark.
Behind the scenes
Production Designer Gemma Jackson said of creating the set for the Eyrie that, "A lot of the mosaics in the Eyrie were based on a beautiful chapel I visited in Rome."[2]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Eyrie is a mountain-top fortress located on a shoulder of the Giant's Lance, one of the tallest mountains on the continent. It is inhabited by the Arryns during the long springs and summers, before the family removes to the Gates of the Moon at the bottom of the mountain to sit out the winters. The Eyrie is only a small castle itself, but is almost impossible to reach. An invading army would have to overcome the Bloody Gate at the mouth of the Vale before taking the Gates of the Moon. Then, as it advanced up the mountain path to the Eyrie, it would come under sustained attack from the Eyrie and the three way-castles up the path, all of which can drop rocks, boulders and oil on an advancing foe at will.
Unlike the novels, where the Eyrie is a traditional castle sitting on a shoulder of a very tall mountain, the TV version of the castle appears to completely enclose the top of a much smaller butte.
The Eyrie consists of several towers, a great hall, a sept and a number of unique "sky cells". The "Moon Door" is not a hatch that opens to the hollow vault beneath the Eyrie, but a massive door that opens to a precipice.
According to myth, the first Andal invaders landed on the coast of the Vale. The first Lord Arryn flew on the back of a giant falcon to slay the Griffin King atop the Giant's Lance and then built a fortress atop the mountain.
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Eyrie" is pronounced just as it is in normal English: "EAR-ee".

Katsuyu (カツユ, Katsuyu) is the personal summon of Tsunade.
Compared to Gamabunta and Manda, the summons of Jiraiya and Orochimaru respectively, Katsuyu is quiet and more subservient to its master. It addresses Tsunade with the highly respectful honourific "-sama", and, in the English versions, calls her Mistress or Milady. Katsuyu tends to also use honourifics like "-kun" and "-san" on other villagers. Sakura and Shizune show it considerable respect, addressing it as "Katsuyu-sama". In the English dub, it is referred to as "Lady Katsuyu". Katsuyu is also shown to have a playful side and a jovial friendship with Tsunade as seen in the omake at the end of Naruto: Shippūden episode 118. It tells Tsunade of the way Sakura overreacted when it fabricated a story of its difficult journey (including: the physical limitations of its slug body, falling off a rope bridge, and being attacked by villagers) in reaching Team Three during the Three Tails Arc. Tsunade comments on Sakura's naivete and they both share a chuckle at Sakura's expense.
Katsuyu is very large in stature and is easily as tall as the largest building in Konoha. It is predominantly white in colour with three blue streaks that run vertically down the middle and side of its body from its head and tapering off at its tail. Its optical tentacles have a slight tint of grey to them and it also has two sensory tentacles on either side of its mouth.
Offensively, Katsuyu can spit acid using its Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid technique, which is strong enough to melt through rock with ease. With its Slug Great Division, Katsuyu can divide itself into smaller slugs to evade attacks or to serve small scale functions, and is capable of quickly reforming itself if need be. The smaller slugs can attach themselves to injured people, allowing Tsunade to channel her chakra through Katsuyu in order to heal the injured person. Unlike other types of clones, Katsuyu's clones can telepathically share information with others without having to be dispelled.[3] Though it has yet to be shown, Katsuyu said it could put Tsunade's bisected form back together, although it's likely a process that takes a considerable amount of time as Tsunade insisted Katsuyu bring the other Kage to where she is first before having her body put back together.[4]
Furthermore, Katsuyu's clones have been shown to be extremely resistant to high amounts of damage, as seen during Invasion of Pain Arc. Katsuyu is also able to absorb people into its body, thus protecting them from physical impacts like the large-scale Shinra Tensei using its own high durability.[5][6] A palm-sized version of Katsuyu even survived the corrosive chakra of Naruto's eight-tailed form and Nagato's Chibaku Tensei.[7] Oddly enough, though slugs are typically slow, Katsuyu's clones were fast enough to throw themselves in front of Shizune, Ino and Inoichi before the Animal Path's rhino summon even managed to hit them.[8]
Part I
Search for Tsunade Arc
After Tsunade healed herself from what should have been a fatal attack, all three Sannin decided to use their most powerful summons and all three succeeded at the same time. Katsuyu was summoned and when the battle begun, it was constricted by Manda, but escaped using the Slug Great Division technique.
Guy and Lee Impersonator Arc
It was summoned again in episode 161, a filler episode, to deal with Mondai and Potcha, a pair of outsiders impersonating Might Guy and Rock Lee. In this instance it had a cold, and sneezed acid, which Mondai and Potcha, along with a clueless Naruto, were forced to anticipate and assist (although it is entirely possible that it was faking the cold in order to help Tsunade make Mondai and Potcha's lives miserable and prevent them from having the time to gather any information).
Part II
Three-Tails Arc
Main article: Three-Tails Arc Fearing that Shizune's team would need further assistance to seal the Three-Tails, Tsunade sent Katsuyu to aid them. Four of its clones appeared in time to help the sealing team by giving them an extra supply of chakra. Ino and Hinata, who did not recognise Katsuyu, were initially alarmed, but Sakura explained who it was to them.
Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc
Main article: Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc Tsunade sent Katsuyu to tell the Eight Man Squad about the Tsuchigumo clan for the mission.
Invasion of Pain Arc
When Pain began attacking civilians all over Konohagakure, Tsunade summoned Katsuyu. She then told the giant slug to take her chakra and heal the injured all over the village. When Pain used Shinra Tensei to destroy Konoha, Katsuyu surrounded all the villagers to protect them from the blast and heal their injuries. When Naruto returned to Konoha, Tsunade ordered one of its smaller clones to stay in Naruto's pocket and keep him informed of Pain's abilities. Other Katsuyu clones informed the villagers of the situation, and helped facilitate communication between them; Shikaku asked the clone nearest to him to have the other clones find out what they could from all the ninja who had fought Pain. After Hinata Hyūga was stabbed and Naruto lost control of himself to the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, the clones on him observed this and reported the events to all the ninja in the village. The clones on Naruto survived his transformation, and told him that he had not harmed Hinata or any of the other villagers while under the Nine-Tails' control, which greatly relieved him. After Pain's defeat, Katsuyu informed Sakura, Hinata (who had just regained consciousness) and Team Guy of Naruto's victory, and tried to tell Neji that Naruto did not want help, but Neji insisted that Katsuyu lead them to Naruto.
Shinobi World War Arc
As Tsunade leaves headquarters with A, she apparently summons Katsuyu, who divides, with part of her going with Tsunade and part staying at headquarters to more than likely be used to keep the channel of communication between them open. When Tsunade and A confront Naruto and B, Katsuyu comments on the chakra of the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. Katsuyu later expresses relief when Killer B intercepts the Raikage's attack on Naruto.
Meanwhile, back at headquarters, Katsuyu asks whether or not it would be best to alert the Raikage and Hokage of what was happening, but Shikaku states that he was appointed to handle things at headquarters while they tried to stop Naruto and B. When Katsuyu tries to inform him of what was happening with Tsunade and A, Shikaku asks for silence in order to concentrate of formulating a strategy to combat the disguised members of the White Zetsu Army that had infiltrated their ranks in the dead of night. Later, when Shikaku realises that the only way to expose the imposters was to use Naruto's ability to sense negative emotions that he gained through his control of the Nine-Tails, Mabui states that is impossible as the Raikage would not allow Naruto to participate in the war, Katsuyu informs them that this might not be entirely impossible due to the Raikage finally allowing Naruto and B to pass. Katsuyu later relates the information of what happened, much to Mabui's disbelief.
As Tsunade who had returned to headquarters prepares to depart for the front lines after hearing the reports of the real Madara Uchiha being revived and slaughtering the Fourth Division, Katsuyu calls out to her to stop. As Shikaku states that they should use the Flying Thunder God Technique to transport Katsuyu instead of Tsunade, Katsuyu said that would be fine since her body could withstand being ripped to shreds by Mabui's Heavenly Transfer Technique.
Ten-Tails Revival Arc
Katsuyu, in its entirety, is later summoned to Tsunade's side by the severely wounded Kage. Distressed about its master's condition, Katsuyu immediately states that it would put the bisected woman back together, but is cut off by Tsunade who tells the slug instead to first bring all the other Kage to her as there was still time to save them.
- The name Katsuyu apparently comes from slug (蛞蝓) in on'yomi.
- The first part of Katsuyu's name: Katsu (割), means "split" or "divide". This could be a reference to her ability to divide into many smaller clones of herself.
- A variation of the worldwide game "Rock, Paper, Scissors" in Japan presented in the early 1640s was the "Slug, Snake, Frog" variation. In this variation, the Frog is afraid of the Snake, the Snake is afraid of the Slug, and the Slug is afraid of the Frog. This is influenced by the Sansukumi way of thinking where it keeps the three objects in a deadlock. This concept was referenced and joked upon in an omake of episode 164 of Naruto: Shippūden, where Katsuyu feared that with Manda deceased, Gamabunta and the toads of Mount Myōboku would now try eating it.
- Although Katsuyu is referred to as female in the subtitles of the anime and the manga, coupled with the fact that Katsuyu has a female voice in the anime, a gender specific pronoun has never been used to describe the slug ("sama" can be used for both males and females). Slugs are also hermaphrodites.

The Power of Independent Thinking
John C. Goodman: What's the Alternative to Obamacare?
Recorded: Tuesday, July 1, 2014
Independent Institute Senior Fellow John C. Goodman, author of "Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis" describes how the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, with its 27,000 pages of rules and regulations, has omitted some basic market-based concepts that would benefit all consumers. Goodman outlines the changes that would make such a healthcare system function, utilizing his extensive knowledge of the subject. Goodman is known as the "Father of Health Savings Accounts" whose suggestions for healthcare reform have been heard around the country. In this video, he highlights what is wrong with Obamacare, and offers his bold ideas on sensible healthcare reform.

John McNeil maintained his innocence, but pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and is back in Eastern North Carolina and talking about his ordeal.
McNeil and members of the NAACP held a press conference at Calvary United Holy Church in Wilson Wednesday, the last place McNeils late wife Anita spoke out on his behalf. She died nearly two weeks ago after a long battle with cancer.
The church was filled with McNeil's friends and family after he was released from a Georgia prison Tuesday after seven-years.
Authorities say in 2005 McNeil shot and killed former contractor Brian Epp outside of his Georgia home. After years of pleading self defense, McNeil decided to plead guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to twenty-years. The judge granted him credit for time already served and allowed him to serve thirteen-years on probatioon back in his hometom of Wilson.
McNeil told us he is thankful to be a free man but says justice has not yet been served. As for his future plans, he says he is working to transition back into the community

A fiscal watchdog group says it's proud of plans by elected north carolina republican leaders not to expand medicaid through the federal health care overhaul and its impending decision to refuse to extend federal unemployment benefits.
Americans for Prosperity national president Tim Phillips and North Carolina state director Dallas Woodhouse spoke Tuesday at a news conference at the legislative building. They praised the actions of the GOP-led general assembly and Gov. Pat McCrory, saying just because they're offered money from the federal government doesn't mean they should spend it, because it's all tax dollars.
"We need to correct the wrongs that Beth Wood, a democratic auditor said is occurring right now, and that's why I am not expanding it. We have to first fix the current system before we expand the current system," said Governor McCrory.
Mccrory says North Carolina shouldn't expand medicaid to cover about 500,000 uninsured people and should leave it to the federal government to run an online marketplace for private health insurance.
