Are we about to experience a "green revolution" on our lawns? Probably not, but it's possible that the coming years will bring new grass varieties that use less water and still look lush and green. The biggest trend in residential turf grass is to get rid of it! More and more homeowners are taking out turf and replacing it with low water use plants and ground cover. To do this some people have been forced to battle with their homeowners' association, alter restrictive covenants, and generally try to change the culture, which places a high value on green grass.
Gazing into the crystal ball, here are some possible future trends to watch out for!

Softball Drops A Pair Of Saturday Games In Auburn
AUBURN, Ala. - - The Ball State softball team suffered a pair of losses Saturday at the War Eagle Classic, falling to tournament host No. 23 Auburn (15-3/5 inn.) and in-state rival IPFW (2-0) at Jane B. Moore Field.
The Cardinals (14-9) are scheduled to close play in the three-day tournament Sunday at Noon ET / 11 am CT versus Savannah State weather permitting. Check BallStateSports.com tomorrow for updates on the schedule.
In the loss to 23rd-ranked Auburn, Ball State senior left fielder Jennifer Gilbert (McKinney, Texas/McKinney) blasted her 65th career home run to tie Jen Yee as the NCAA Division I all-time career home run leader among Canadian-born players. Yee, who is Gilbert's teammate on the Canadian Women's Senior National Softball Team, racked up 65 career home runs while playing for Niagara (2006-07) and Georgia Tech (2009-10).
In the nightcap, sophomore pitcher Kelsey Schifferdecker (Belton, Mo./Belton) turned in one of her best performances of the season, holding the Mastodons hitless over the five-and-two-thirds innings. Unfortunately, IPFW was able to score a pair of two-out runs in the sixth to pull out the 2-0 win.
Sophomore center fielder Briana Evans (Tulsa, Okla./Union) led the Ball State offense, going 4-for-5 on the day with three infield singles.
GAME ONE RECAP: No. 23 Auburn 15 – Ball State 3 (5 innings)
After starting their own War Eagle Classic with three no-hitters, Auburn (24-4-1) saw Ball State's two-hole batter, sophomore second baseman Emily Dabkowski (Plainfield, Ind./South Putnam), record an infield single in the top of the first to snap the streak. Unfortunately, the Cardinals could not capitalize, leaving her stranded at first.
The Tigers would respond by loading the bases with no outs in the bottom of the frame, setting up a RBI walk to B. Melero. However, the Ball State defense would step up and record three straight outs to limit the damage to one run.
With one out in the second, senior designated player Lauren Schroeder (Greenfield, Ind./New Palestine) recorded Ball State's second hit of the game, blasting a home run over the right-center field wall to even the score at 1-1. It marked the first run given up by the Tigers in the tournament.
Unfortunately, the score was not tied for long, as Auburn score 14 runs over the next three innings to pull ahead 15-1. The Tigers scored four in the second, six in the third and four more in the fourth.
Ball State scored its final two runs of the game in the top of the fifth, courtesy of Gilbert's two-run blast. Evans led off the inning with a single, and advanced to third on a pair of groundouts. Gilbert followed the two outs with a titanic blast into the trees in right field for her 65th career home run.
GAME TWO RECAP: IPFW 2 – Ball State 0
The nightcap was a pitcher's duel through the first five innings, with neither team being able to generate any offense.
Ball State threatened to score in the bottom of the fourth, putting runners at first and second with two outs, but could not capitalize as a strikeout ended the inning.
Unfortunately, it was IPFW who would get their bats going in the sixth inning, scoring a pair of two-out runs with the first coming on a RBI single from Larissa Franklin, who is also a teammate of Gilbert's on the Canadian Women's Senior National Softball Team.Senior third baseman Audrey Bickel (Munster, Ind./Andrean) would record a two-out single in the sixth, but again the Cardinals failed to keep a rally going. Bickel would also make a nice diving grab with one out and bases loaded in the top of the seventh, sparking an inning-ending double

ProjectLibre is the open source alternative to Microsoft Project
ProjectLibre edges in on Microsoft Project dominance
ProjectLibre is an open source project management solution ready to give Microsoft Project a run for their money.
In late summer, there will be a new version of the Open Services Gateway Initiative (OSGI) modular architecture that will allow connector modules for better integration with enterprise solutions. The ProjectLibre team will also be releasing a cloud version, allowing project teams to effectively work together regardless of location, and a Portfolio Project Management solution is also in the works.
We interviewed Marc O'Brien, co-founder of ProjectLibre, to find out how they plan to edge their way into the market.
Q: A good open source project management solution is hard to find, why is that?
A: It is highly complex both in the code and domain expertise.
ProjectLibre was created by a team that has been developing project management software for a significant time. Our team has led many innovations in the software industry and ProjectLibre is being used in over 200 countries.
The project management domain complexity is tremendous. There are many universities now offering Masters and PhD programs in project management. This encompasses not just the critical path scheduling but resource management, earned value costing, variance analysis, and significant complexity in both managing and controlling a project.
Q: What are the benefits of a project management tool to the people who are comfortable with spreadsheets and Google Drive?
A: The essential benefit of project management software is the ability to not only lay out a project plan but adjust quickly as the plan changes.
We all know things don't go exactly as planned, so when those mild or major impacts happen, a project management software plan will automatically adjust to show you the new reality. It will also save a snapshot of the original plan so you can not only have the benefit of the new activity due dates and costs but also see a baseline comparison of the change from the original plan. You can also see who is working on what as well as coordinate and communicate this progress.
A spreadsheet with a series of tasks would require you to manually readjust different dates if one task was delayed, which was a predecessor to other tasks. It gets very complicated to keep track of which tasks need to be finished before others start and then adjust accordingly. If a task finishes early or late, the coordination and scheduling can get to be a mess.
Users can also create templates for similar projects and capture organizational learning. This makes future projects more efficient and effective.
Q: Where do you see ProjectLibre fitting in as a business solution or in the open source project ecosystem?
A: The open source ecosystem is maturing quickly.
It is satisfying to see this maturation as I have been a huge proponent of open source software. The replacement of proprietary closed software with open source software has accelerated across the board.
In the productivity software space, Microsoft became ubiquitous with the Office products. There is now OpenOffice and LibreOffice which replace MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
However, Microsoft Project is part of the Office division and drives over $1 billion in annual revenue and is on over 7% of all desktops. The price for Microsoft Project professional is $999.99, and they have had a virtual monopoly which allows this price point.
ProjectLibre is a great compliment for OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and even for companies that have deployed the Microsoft Office suite and have a heterogeneous environment with Linux, Mac, and Windows.
We are releasing a new version late in the summer that will be rewritten with an OSGI modular architecture. This modular architecture will allow for integration modules to be written and connectors for other solutions such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).
Q: What's the culture like for the ProjectLibre team?
A: The ProjectLibre team has worked together for many years and we are passionate about open source and project management.
This makes for a driven group who really enjoys our mission. We tend to work around the clock as we are located around the world. The other co-founder lives in France, which makes for conference calls at all hours. Having users and communities in over 200 countries blurs the lines of a normal schedule.
One other note, we all seem to have disruptive personalities. We like to see major changes to the way things have been done.
Q: How can someone get involved in the project and where can they learn more?
A: ProjectLibre.org has a community website. You can become a member of the community and there are a number of areas for contribution. We currently are getting contributions with language translations, product documentation, bug identification and fixing.
Plus, we want to update our website and will be looking for Drupal expertise to assist in a new community site.

Great to see ProjectLibre leaping forward. I tested it and it works quite well. One request: please support OpenJDK so you no longer have to install Java from java.com.
If you are looking for a Project Management *webapp* (as opposed to a fat client), have a look at http://www.libreplan.com It's AGPL licensed and also looks quite promising. Would love to see it covered here too.
I am currently using OpenWorkbench but will sure look at ProjectLibre. Looks promising.
I am using it for my bachelor study (Bsc) in Information and Communication Technology. The study takes 4 to 5 years (spare time) and I have all modules of the study scheduled. I enter all time I spend, so I can see in the Gant-chart how I'm doing in the overall timeline.
So basically I'm using resources, gant-chart and a few other features. It serves me quite well, runs on Windows XP through Windows 7 (yeah, sorry, no Linux ;) ).
The downside is that it has no active development/support for some years now. So, I'm on the look out for a replacement (open source). And preferably one that can import the Open Workbench files.
Good to see ProjectLibre getting the publicity that it deserves. Way to go, Marc.
It's always gratifying to see progress in one of Microsoft's "safe districts". I will definitely give ProjectLibre a try.
Imagine, in a John Lennon sort of way, if Microsoft had gotten a clue 20 years ago and, rather than collapse their whole focus into Windows, had instead realized that they real cash cow was their office suite. Had Office been published for Linux, UNIX, Solaris, etc., in addition to Windows and Mac, they would have had a lock on "productivity" software that might have lasted a century.
Or not. But no, they blew it. Hubris and Avarice ensure that there are a great many very smart people who reject Microsoft out of hand.
ProjectLibre is a good scheduling tool for small to medium projects. I have used it and it is working simple and easy and doing the things that I need in my project.
Documentation is improving and last week there was a free manual for ProjectLibre, explaining how to use it.
Great to see that late summer an update is expected, can't wait. :)
I just wanted to point out a related article here on OpenSource.com that discusses the ]project-open[ project server that integrates with ProjectLibre in order to form an open-source software stack supporting time sheet management, project tracking, resource management, financials and project portfolio management.
I am a technical PM and PMO leader; have studied many Project tools over the years. This one is very interesting with its backing, support on non-Windows platforms, cost advantage, and seemingly backing persistence in improving it with interfaces, etc. I am beginning to draw comparisons, so looking for work done to date in tabular +/- delta summaries type approach to save a bit of time. Of key interest off the top is simple custom views, use of custom fields, and Calendar capabilities.

I will go out on a limb and reiterate: a Gracie Gold Olympic win (which is a conditional, not part of my prediction, and certainly not for 2014, although the probability is not zero) will see her making at least 7 million dollars in the 12 months that follow.
It is highly likely, though, that we may have to wait until 2018 to see who will be drinking Pilsner Urquell for free.
And no abusing your awesome powers as a mod to 'inadvertently' delete this post at a later date .
This is, of course, purely ignorant speculation on my part, but one that I'm willing to tangibly back.
However, also, consider that Nancy Kerrigan had many more major endorsement deals than Kristi, including Disney. Nancy also may have gotten some of those jobs because of her pre-Olympic celebrity whack and/or from having better representation.
Michele didn't win OGM, but she has had a lot of endorsements due to her graciousness in 'defeat', her celebrity status as the reserve skater if Tonya were barred from the Olympics and her longevity in the sport.
However, i don't recall Tara getting huge endorsements post OGM - perhaps because she was a child when she won???
Sarah - no major endorsements beyond the initial post OGM buzz. Don't know why her story wasn't buzzed into a Cinderella winner. perhaps 'tarnished' somewhat by her results post OGM? or Sarah eschewed the spotlight?
Kind of hard to second guess since there are a lot of variables involved.
I think Gracie will get some signficant endorsements if she wins OGM because she is pretty and because it's been a long time since the US had an OGM in Ladies' figure skating.
Yeah, skating in this country, unless someone is as glamorous as Kim and becomes a media star as well as a star athlete, will not net anyone, even a ladies' singles OGM winner, the kind of bonanza that the other athletes on that list take in.
And compared to other American ladies, Gold does not have any kind of monopoly on prettiness. (Or on "All-American"-ness, whatever the heck that means.)
Perhaps McKayla Maroney is the gymnast who is the best model for what might help American skating's popularity.
She happens to be extremely pretty, but her refreshing personality and candor -- not to mention her excellence in her sport -- are what captured her country's (and even the world's) imagination.
Sonia Henie was reportedly worth 50 million dollars when she died. This was back in the 1960s when 50 million dollars was actually some money. She got rich from movies and real estate investments. When Janet Lynn signed with Ice Follies she was the highest paid woman athlete in the world for one year. Dorothy Hamill was immensely popular, but later lost a substantial amount of money when she invested in Ice Capades.
I think the richest U.S. ice skater is Scott hamilton. I don't know if this web site knows what it's talking about, but they have Scott's net worth pegged at 30 million dollars.
Here are some others.
Brian Boitano - 18 million
Kristi Yamaguchi - 18 million
Evan Lysacek - 10 million (Evan's my guy, but I don't believe it. )
Peggy Fleming - 8 million
Michelle Kwan - 8 million. (It doesn't say how much Mrs. Claiborne Pell IV is worth, but "old money" counts twice. By the way, Mr. Pell has just completed the White House Fellowship that he beat Michelle out of -- as Michelle said, "I lost the fellowship but I got the fellow" -- and is now serving in the U.S. Department of Education in charge of international and foreign language instruction. Pell is fluent in Arabic, Chinese, and Spanish.
Dorothy Hamill - 5 million
Tara Lipinski - 4 million
U.S. men skaters are doing as well as the ladies!
Gabby Douglas - 3 million
Shawn Johnson - 9 million
Nastia Liukin - 2 million
Shaun White - 20 million
Mathman -- negative $3.29.

Don't you ever be condescending towards me about motorsport, pal. I may be a girl. But I KNOW motorsport. More than you can say I'm sure.
Joking aside, my view is not that corn-fed and wholesome doesn't sell; it's that it's no longer the only thing that sells. There is no question that a wider range of traits, in looks/ethnicity/personality/etc. are now potentially marketable, reflecting the more diverse composition of America since George Bailey's day.
The following are some random thoughts addressing the interesting and stimulating points of view of the various posters who have commented on this question, including Mathman, golden411, Olympia, karne, heyang, louisa05, and others:
IMHO, the combination of corn-fed/wholesome etc. etc. with a ladies figure skating gold medal will be a huge marketing draw, even in this age of audience segmentation. I will even suggest a parallel from Simon Cowell's parallel universe: Jackie Evancho.
Just a couple of weeks ago, I was watching Susan Boyle's videos on Youtube for the very first time (I'd never heard of her before then; but that first audition vid for "Britain's Got Talent" was astounding, and, I admit, emotionally affecting). She is the poster-child for the "We Are the World", politically correct idea that there is no limit to the type of diversity that can appeal to audiences.
While exploring the Susan Boyle phenomenon, I happened to see the links to Jackie (who I was also learning about for the very first time; does that sound unbelievable?). I watch these kinds of TV shows only rarely, and have never understood the appeal of the vast majority of so-called winners, but these two were, for me, genuinely interesting. Susan for the back-story, and Jackie because she is the very definition of precocious talent. I mean, at first I thought she was a twenty year old with a hormonal disorder.
Anyway, the point is this: I understand now that Jackie has become a breakout star. Certainly her vocal talent explains much of her success. But my guess is that her doll-like (and blonde; I don't know whether it's natural or not ) looks, and squeaky-clean, wholesome image were also a key contributor to her appeal and success.
The marketing archetypes that a Jackie Evancho or a (hypothetically OGM-winning) Gracie Gold represent are still, I think, very much alive and kicking, and to dismiss this is to fail to distinguish between the pragmatically diagnostic and the normatively prescriptive.
I think part of the reason why Gracie hasn't reached McKayla Maroney-levels of fame is because she hasn't had time to grow accustomed to the spotlight that's suddenly been thrown on her. After she gets more comfortable with the constant media attention buzzing around her head, we'll see the real Gracie emerge. And, once she puts more personality on the ice, she'll win the crowd every competition.
If I may go the superficial route for a moment, I'd dare to suggest that, of the current crop of American ladies, Gracie is by and far the most "conventionally" beautiful. In that blue FS dress, she can pass for a Hollywood star, which is what the press loves. If she ends up winning OGM in 2018, I don't doubt that figure skating's popularity would soar tremendously in the US. It probably won't reach the coverage that it enjoyed during MK's career, if only because the public got to watch MK blossom from a wee little prodigy into one of the biggest names in skating history, but Gracie IS the next star of US skating. IMO, of course.

hey everyone i would like to know what people would be cool characters to get a tattoo of because i was thinking about getting a punch on my back.
2nd state sasuke
im stumped too! idk what to get for my first tattoo!
A tatto is something personal that you have to live with and its your back and you havethe right to picksome character that you like and then you put out an opion question stating that " Hey what doyou think ... I'm putting a tattoo of..... " Then when you get a feel from the people who mayor may not see you Then you can decide on what to put.... The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
i trying to get a hollow mask and three blades (kenpachi's, ichigo 3nd sword and gins) ontop of the mask for my tatto
i think a "BLACK DRAGON SPIRIT" of VINCENT...colored with a black fire and w/ a demonic eyes^^ "everyone knows something but nobody knows everything"
I have a tattoo of the Flemel from Fullmetal Alchemist on the back of my right shoulder. ( the Flemel is the cross with wings and the serpent wrapped around it with a crown on top. for those who didn't know the name of the symbol.)I also have my nickname on my right shoulder, and a stylized dragon that I drew up on my left breast. ( I am a guy, but it's still called a breast, even on us.)That's all I have for now. I will get more sometime in the future. People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.
That sounds pretty cool. Although I don't think I could get up enough courage to get a tatoo... I have always wanted to get one though, something small on my shoulder... Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana
It isn't as bad as everyone believes. My wife is deathly terrified of needles. She always said she would never get a tattoo (you know, have a needle poke you a few thousand times!) but I eventually got her to get one. She has the same dragon that I have ( in the same spot, too!) and says that she wants to get more. The anxiety of getting it was worse than getting it. People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.
im deathy terrified of needles to but its not bad. the waiting was the worest. but when it started it just felt like a pinch.
Ive always wanted to get one. Im underage of course so cant lol. I definitely wanna get sumthin anime of course. I also wanna get something irish themed sicne im irish, and probably a heart of some sort on my chest. Then after im married ill prob ge my wifes name put inside the heart =D as for the other 2 prob one on my leg and one on my arm or back. but thats all a few years away. "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
i think for your first tattoo u should get something that means a lot to u. and as for getting the name tattooed thats bad luck. just to let u know but if u want to do that who am i to stop u.
eh yeah, i guess but id really liek to do that for my wife. whenever that will be , many far years off lol. "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
If you ever put someones name on you, make it your children. You say you want to put your wifes name in a tattoo, but what happens if you get divorced? Spouses can come and go, but your children are yours forever. People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.
I always wanted to grt the same totto that Chad has on bleach mabe i should get it on my next 18th birthday
On your NEXT 18th birthday? lol, how many times have you been 18?People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.

Sweet Home added an unbelievable chapter to its football program's vaunted history Friday night, and its resume may have had more than a little to do with ability to do so.
The Panthers seemed to muster up championship drives of the teams that have come before them to earn a stirring, had-to-be-seen-to-be-believed, 28-21 overtime victory over Section V champion Eastridge Friday night before an estimated 2,000 at All High Stadium.
Sweet Home won the Class A Far West Regional game to earn its third trip to the state final four by scoring two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, including a game-tying score with 49.8 seconds left in regulation. It then won the game after one round of overtime -- when senior Michael Torrillo hit senior Michael McCoy on a 19-yard touchdown on a fourth-and-goal.
"What more can you ask from high school kids than to go down and perform like that?" said Sweet Home coach John Faller, whose program won state championships in 2008 and 2009 and has a 60-game win streak against Section VI opponents. "They say a lot about winning, and our streak and everything, but that winning builds success and it breeds success, and it showed here tonight."
Playing in its sixth straight regional game, in which the Section VI champions meet their counterparts from Section V (Rochester area) for the right to advance to the state final four, Sweet Home rallied despite being outplayed for much of the game and trailing, 21-7, entering the fourth quarter.
"I'll remember this game for the rest of my life, this team is my family," said Torrillo, who completed 12 of 19 passes for 141 yards and also ran eight times for 62 yards. "We just all stuck together and found a way to pull it out."
Sweet Home scored on its first possession in overtime, and in dramatic fashion. It had the ball on offense first, starting on its 20, and earned a first down before getting pushed back by the Eastridge defense. On fourth-and-goal from the 19, Torrillo had time in the pocket and he found a wide-open McCoy on the left side of the end zone.
"When we were in the huddle, he gave me that look and I sort of knew it was coming my way," said McCoy, who also had an interception on defense.
Eastridge's first possession of overtime went four plays and out. Sweet Home stopped three runs by senior quarterback Alec Mortillaro, then, on fourth-and-3 from the 13, a pass to the right side of the end zone went incomplete to end the game.
Sweet Home (11-0) will play Section IV (Binghamton area) champion Union-Endicott (9-1) next Friday at 8 p.m. at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester. U-E defeated Section III (Syracuse area) champion Nottingham, 34-23, Friday night.
Sweet Home scored the first touchdown of the night, but Eastridge dominated the middle of the game behind the explosive running of 5-foot-9, 185-pound senior Jeremiah Ortiz (124 yards on 28 carries) and dual-threat senior quarterback Alec Mortillaro (20 carries, 73 yards; 4-5, 70 yards passing, two touchdowns).
The Lancers (10-1) took a 13-7 halftime lead which they extended to 21-7 thanks to an impressive second half-opening drive that ended with Mortillaro finding Ortiz for an 18-yard touchdown pass.
Sweet Home made it 21-14 on a run by Jordan Evert and had to punt on its next drive, but it got one last chance when it stopped Eastridge's fake field-goal attempt on fourth-and-7 at the Panthers' 12.
The Panthers then drove down the field, reaching the Eastridge 3. Sweet Home then went to its double-wing formation nicknamed "Big Bird" and Evert ran in for his third touchdown of the game.

How Fast is Reed Johnson?
When you're a young guy, hair that grows in places other than your head is pretty important.
I was a freshman in football this one time when a guy named Paul Holland completely ran me over in a tackling drill.
One of the coaches screams at me, "SOUERS, YOU AIN'T GOT NO HAIR ON YOUR ASS!"
I could tell right away that hair meant huevos, balls, intestinal fortitude.
In college I decided to grow sideburns.
Why not?
Grew 'em for about 3 weeks.
Wellll, on one side I had to painstakingly and artfully blend hair from my head to mix with all of maybe 14 actual sideburn hairs.
And all that blending was for naught because only 5 actual sideburn hairs grew on the other side.
Bald patch between the head hair and the 5 sideburn hairs - not good.
I cannot grow a mustache or a beard, I have no hair on my chest, and my leg hair kinda petered out in 6th grade.
Reed Johnson seems to be able to grow beards at will and overnight.
I am SO jealous.
But you never know - I may still be maturing.
Well, that hopefully took your mind off of Geovany Soto's "mild" oblique strain and the sloppy, rotten, foul-tasting 1-4 loss to the Braves yesterday.
Kevin Hart came up to take Dempster's place in the rotation.
He did okay, really.
Buncha walks, but okay.
It's these damned wimpy Cub bats.
They have no hair.
And here come the Cardinals...
A little perspective - the Phillies lead the NL with 432 runs scored, St. Louis is 6th with 377, and our favorite team is 15th with 337.
I'm sure you're aware that that's 15th out of 16.
So...not so good.
I'd put a little hair tonic on those bats, boys.
Do that thing where everybody on the team grows a beard or something.
You are going to need to score some runs in these next 4 games.
And if you do, you will have a chance to knock these guys down a peg.
And even though I don't, as a Cub fan I would at least feel like I had some hair on my ass.

5-7 teams in on Freddy Sanchez
Re: 5-7 teams in on Freddy Sanchez
Would Fonty and an arm get it done?
Re: 5-7 teams in on Freddy Sanchez
does this change your mind?
If Sanchez reaches 600 plate appearances, an $8 million option for 2010 will trigger.
he's on pace for 620 AB's, so PA's shouldn't be an issue barring another injury. He's been out for about a week now with a back injury.
Re: 5-7 teams in on Freddy Sanchez
Fonte doesn't get you much.
Freddie Sanchez... wouldn't that be great?
Got a question for Hendry or Theriot?
submit one to Kaplan via Twitter, 2 best get a Lou Malnatti gift card
he claimed sometime yesterday that he is hearing the deal with the Ricketts will be announced sometime next week.
Re: Got a question for Hendry or Theriot?
just asked:
"Why do you waste a bench player by sending up Reed for a PH sac bunt? With a short bench, couldn't a pitch have done that?"
I'm sure he'll ask that one.
Re: Got a question for Hendry or Theriot?
why would you ask Hendry or Riot that question?
Re: Got a question for Hendry or Theriot?
misread it.
thought it was Lou and Riot.
oh well.
Re: How Fast is Reed Johnson?
Awww. Alfonso is upset about not being in the line up yesterday. Try hitting over .200 for a month and maybe they'll pencil you more often, buddy.
Fukkadome love...
after a brutal June (.507 OPS)...1.189 so far in July.
1.052 (April), .830 (May), .507 (June), 1.189 in July
already has as many XBH's in July as he did in May, and one more than he did in June.
Re: Fukkadome love...
Fukudome looks good again, and comfortable hitting with two strikes.
no roster move for Soto likely, Hart will be optioned today so he can come back July 19th or 20th to start against Nats or Phils, Miles thinks Jeff Stevens may get the call-up (seems like Ascanio would make more sense, but might not be 10 days yet). Waddell will be reinstated from DL and immediately optioned to Iowa as well.
OF trade candidates...
decent run-down, can't see any fit for the Cubs though...
Re: OF trade candidates...
my bad, CuBzwin has it figured out...
The Cubs could deal for any left-fielder and move soriano to second. So don't write them off for getting an OF.

Re: OF trade candidates...
I'm sick of hearing about Soriano going to second.
Soriano at second makes Soriano in left look like Willie Mays in his prime.
Re: How Fast is Reed Johnson?
@cst_cubs (Whittenmeyer) also saying Stevens will take Hart's spot on the roster tomorrow.
Muskat writes a good article...
granted, Von Joshua basically wrote the article with his quotes, but real good detail on what problems he's seeing.
Brutal quiz on the rules...
Re: Brutal quiz on the rules...
6, but it gave me a headache.
Re: Brutal quiz on the rules...
I got four, also, but I pretty much had to guess on all of them except the question about the first baseman who trapped the ball. That was the only one I knew for sure.
Re: Brutal quiz on the rules...
Really interesting quiz.
I got 4, but I agree that some were poorly worded. Several times I guessed the "could also be correct" answer. There were a couple that I answered that would have been right based on the High School rule book but that are apparently different from the professional rules.
Re: Brutal quiz on the rules...
I got 5 right, but some were very confusing to figure out what the hell they were describing. I used to love the Rules question in Baseball Digest, because it was so off the wall...
Re: Brutal quiz on the rules...
I would go farther than say 'poorly worded' and just call them incorrect. The two bunt ones (4 and 8?). Odds are that the runner on 2nd will have reached third by the time the ball is declared dead. On 8 unless the R3 crosses home before contact is made, he would have to re-touch third and then go back to home before they threw to 1st for the DP on R1.
More umpire shenanigans..
Cards go up 2-1
in top of the 8th...
1st/3rd 0 outs and Pujols due up...
he doubles to score in the go-ahead run
Re: Cards go up 2-1
Ludwick follows up w/ a 3-run HR
5-1, think the gadget was just predicting the future.

I hate to put the jinx on, but I just bought a plane ticket to Chicago for the last weekend in October.
Glove-gate? bottom 4th, Rizzo-Zobrist and I don't get it. Is it 3-4 or 3-4 putout. Rizzo gets 2nd base qualification in fantasy leagues?
a.rizzo now playing 2nd in a lineup position switch because c.hurdle bitched about rizzo changing gloves and slotting to 2nd on an anticipated bunt play.
now he's got a PO playing as a 2nd baseman. neat.
dfa jake arrieta.
free tim federowicz.
vaccines kill.
9/11 was an inside job.
rizzo #32...ties career high.
The team, farm and scouting system were barren when they arrive.
They punted two seasons, third season 73 wins which is what happened about 75% of the time in last 50 years
there was more than one way to get there
supposedly jed "who?" hoyer, too
same...i just happen to not like sitting through shit sandwich meals for multiple years. baseball is kinda boring when you're punting on 1st down for a slew of years in a row.
i fully understand why it was done, but i didn't enjoy it. there was more than one way to get competitive and this was the chosen way.
fwiw, apparently McLeod signed extension as well after he didn't get Twins gig.
I am once again reminded why I am happy that Theo is running the organization.
if not they can just intentionally tank the team for 3-4 years and rebuild.
Hopefully after the Cubs complete their sevenpeat :)
They're the best in the business and have been for 12 years running now. The only question is when they'll get bored of it.
I was right here. I don't require my GM's to be perfect, but I would like them to understand what wins baseball games (IMO controlling the strike zone and creating/avoiding outs), and knowing where the organization is in the success cycle.
Theo and company have made and will make plenty of mistakes, but they seem to understand those two items pretty well.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Kellan Lutz
- 2003
Model Behavior
After graduating from Horizon High School in Scottsdale, Ariz., Lutz moves to Los Angeles to pursue acting. He lands a modeling gig for Abercrombie & Fitch and bit roles in 2006's Stick It and Accepted, costarring Blake Lively.
- 2007
Vampires Wanted
While shooting the HBO miniseries Generation Kill in Africa, Lutz reads the script for Twilight, adapted from author Stephenie Meyer's best-selling saga. Although the role of burly big brother Emmett Cullen is cast while he is on location, he gets a chance to read for director Catherine Hardwicke, eventually landing the role.
- 2008
Kellan Gets Schooled
Lutz stars on The CW's remake of 90210 as bad boy George Evans, with Shenae Grimes, Jessica Stroup and real-life love AnnaLynne McCord. "George is so the Luke Perry of the show," Lutz tells MTV. "And maybe a little Brian Austin Green. I think they morphed the two of them."
Bring on the Fanpires
"Twilighters" come out in droves for the film's release, making the vampire flick the weekend's top-grossing movie, with nearly $70 million. "I felt the impact of how crazy this is going to be for all of us while we were shooting," Lutz tells Vanity Fair. The stars sign on for the next two installments, New Moon and Eclipse.
- 2009
A New Moon Rises
After shooting Eclipse with director David Slade, Lutz hits the Los Angeles premiere of New Moon. "The second movie, there's a huge weight off your shoulders," he tells PEOPLE. "We had so much fun doing this, and it's great to be here and soak it all in." The sequel pulls in a record $258 million worldwide, becoming the third-largest debut on record – behind The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 3.
- 2010
Kellan & His Calvins!
Lutz lends his face (and ripped body!) to Calvin Klein Underwear. "I started out modeling so this is the pinnacle," Lutz tells PEOPLE of his Spring 2010 ads, which were inspired by Mark Wahlberg's 1992 spots. In April, Lutz stars in the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, which tops the box office, with $32 million.
A Total 'Eclipse'
The third Twilight flick, Eclipse, rakes in more than $150 million during its first week at the box office, making way for two more sequels based on the final book, Breaking Dawn. But Greene and costar Kellan Lutz find themselves in salary disputes over the final installments. The two eventually settle, with reported paychecks of around $1.25 million for each film.
- 2011
'Breaking' the Bank
Breaking Dawn – Part 1 rakes in more than $139 million during its first week at the box office before going on to best the competition in its second week. "You feel like you're all one big family and your brother is really tying the knot," Lutz says of shooting the wedding scene in the fourth Twilight film. "You can't not smile."
Stepping Out
After meeting at a reading for Step Up 3D, Lutz, 26, begins dating the dance film's star, Aussie actress Sharni Vinson, 28. "She's a happy person, which really just clicks with me," he says of his girlfriend during an interview on Ryan Seacrest's radio show. "It's just great to have someone you can smile with all the time. It's really special."
- 2012
Saying Good-Bye to the Saga
Marking the end of his run as a Cullen vampire, Lutz bids adieu to The Twilight Saga with Breaking Dawn Part 2, which becomes the series's most successful installment following a $141 million opening weekend. "What really drew me to Emmett was all the likeness between him and myself. His view is, live life to the fullest. He's an extremely positive character," the actor says of what will stay with him from the franchise. "That mimics my outlook."

At the same time, Melissa Gilbert's wedding dress proved nothing less than a source of amazement.
So here are the five stories that sparked the strongest reactions from readers this week – what made you happy, sad, laugh out loud, awestruck, even angry.
In the meantime, please keep clicking on the emoticons at the bottom of every story – this way you can tell us exactly what you think.
"I think Kim Kardashian looks absolutely beautiful. And we're supposed to gain weight when we're pregnant," said Gwyneth Paltrow about the expectant reality star – and readers appreciated her sentiment, as well as those of others who lent support to Kardashian as she awaits her baby's arrival.
It wasn't just that two stars from major series got hitched, but those reading about the wedding of Little House on the Prairie's Melissa Gilbert and thirtysomething's Timothy Busfield were taken by the striking red dress she wore. (Well, it matched her hair.)
Outrage or rage? Whichever, readers did not go for the fact that Lindsay Lohan reportedly checked in a different rehab program (as a condition of settling her case about lying to the police) just so she could smoke.
While the cause of his death currently remains under investigation pending toxicology reports, the loss of Kris Kross rapper Chris Kelly at the age of 34 on Wednesday was a source of sadness.
Not a surprise, but funny bones were tickled at the sight of uncle-to-be Prince Harry making a gallant attempt to change a diaper, albeit on a toy doll. Even that proved a struggle, he himself admitted.
Be sure to check back next week for another must-read roundup. And, for now, see what readers are reacting to every day by clicking here.

I've seen the anime on IFC and I absolutely loved it. Great action, interesting story, nice character moments throughout. Top notch stuff! It's seems rare that a series like that makes it to the US now a days too, it's more shonen fair usually. But yeah, loved it. If I could find the boxed set for under $50 I'd probably pick it up too. Eventually I want to read the manga and the original novel as well. The live action movie, Shinobi: Heart Under the Blade, wasn't very good though. I did like the woman who played Oboro in it, but that was about it. ~Ken
the opportunity of having seen the brilliance behind this epic story was mind captivating. the way the directors subtly hint on the themes of love honor passion and betrayal brings this particular anime to the rank of an epic film, and the story line its strength so defiant is unwittingly one of the best.... a little on the slow side though... and its movie counterpart i.e Shinobi being a tad slow also and a little less enjoyable but all the same a great viewing for all those anime fans out there who are interested in that genre of animation.... The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!As i beckon thee from the depths of mine madness...
basilisk was okay, my favorite characters were akoi and jubei but they died early on. i think it had a nice concept and a good story but some of the flashbacks could have been better placed to help the flow of the story.

Lessons Learned from a Year of Aquaponics
Part 3: Lessons We Learned From Our First Year With Aquaponics
By Scott Beuerlein, Horticulturist
After extensive conversations with the genius engineers who helped me start the system, and a couple of really smart and friendly experts at Jones Fish Hatchery, I chose to go with bluegill and catfish (which, by the way, were donated by Jones Fish Hatchery). There was wild enthusiasm around the Zoo for tilapia, but I had worries using a tropical fish in a system that would not only be a start up with the oscillating fluctuations in water quality that goes with that, but would also experience significant daily changes in water temperature during winter. Our system is heated—kept at a minimum temperature in winter of around 60F, but on sunny days the greenhouse can zoom up to 80F, which is the point where it vents. Water temperature would follow, and I was not sure tilapia could handle that. So I chose catfish and bluegill, despite everybody's wishes, and endured weeks of abuse and ridicule until another dude made an even worse decision.
The fact is the bluegill and catfish did well, and I still feel it was a good decision for that time. Early on, we did experience a wild ride of water quality before the bacteria stabilized and before the plants grew on enough to achieve adequate balance with the fish. More importantly, our water hardness is astronomical and that's not something we have much control over. Bluegill and catfish are unfazed. Even more impressive, due to a learning curve (read: "series of blunders") on the water return system (described later), the system virtually drained itself of water on several occasions. Needless to say, the only choice upon finding nearly empty tanks was to fill with tap water. Of course we added this water at the far end of the system, allowing it to pass through both our gravel and raft tanks which brought it closer to temperature and possibly helped to release some of the chlorine, but this was far from ideal. Nevertheless, we never lost a fish due to this, which is a real testament to the toughness of these species of fish.
In recent weeks, however, we have had a couple of issues with the catfish, in part because they are a scale-less fish. After consulting our Curator of Aquaculture and Reptiles, Jeff Mitchell, my worries about tilapia have been allayed, and we are considering a gradual replacement of the catfish with them.
We have lost fish. Early on, we had a few jumpers. Since this occurred almost entirely when water quality had not yet stabilized, there's been some speculation that maybe this was the cause. Maybe it was because I was singing too many Nick Cave songs while working in the greenhouse. Who knows? Things have gotten much better, and we seldom lose any fish.
As for harvesting fish, we haven't done that, although the decision looms. Yes, I have in fact named all the fish and we've had some good times together. This probably wasn't very smart. Chef never did bond with any of them, and he sees the fish only as the delicious fillets they might one day become. We'll see what happens. A year ago we started with 6" or smaller fingerlings. The catfish now appear to be 3-5 pounders. The bluegills are still fairly small and not yet what a fisherman would call a "keeper."
Our best successes have been tomatoes, basil, bok choi, beets, chard, and chives, with some basil, chard, and tomato plants living for nearly a year. We had tomatoes producing in all but the darkest few weeks of a very cold and gray winter. Disappointments have been peppers and lettuces. The difference between success and failure seems to be the ability to grow fast and strong. Aggressive growers seem to skirt past that vulnerable seedling stage where aphids, snails, and damping off take them before their time. In just the summer months last season, we harvested over 30 pounds of basil.
Germination is almost instant in the wet, warm environment, but there's a slow, lagging period until the seedlings finally reach a decent size. Once there, plants grow very vigorously, and respond to repeated harvests with very strong bursts of re-growth. We've been trying to boost plants through the seedling stage with foliar fertilization, using fish emulsion and seaweed extract.
It is interesting that in the Fall, when daylight hours noticeably decreased, most of the plants responded by a marked decrease in growth, and no amount of fertilizing or other means seems to make any difference. It is just the plants natural response to diminishing daylight. It appears temperature is not a factor, because as the day length increased in early Spring, which wasn't any warmer, the plants responded by putting on strong new growth.
Pests and Diseases
Overall, we've experienced remarkably few issues with plant or fish health in regards to pests or diseases. Our only two issues are snails and aphids. I don't know how snails showed up, but they appear to be here to stay. There's really no control, except to periodically lift the foam rafts and hose the little devils off into the gravel. This seems to keep their numbers low enough that the plants can grow past their predation on roots. The problem seems much less in the gravel and hydroton beds than in the raft beds.
Aphids are interesting. Their numbers ballooned as we went into the Winter months, and it was a challenge to keep them controlled with organic treatments of Spinosad and insecticidal soap. Aphids alone, I believe, prevented us from growing lettuce. At one point this Spring, all on their own, Lady Beetles (and their voracious larvae) showed up and had a noticeable effect on aphid numbers. But, just as they mysteriously arrived, they mysteriously disappeared, but so did the aphids. Maybe it was the heat?
My philosophy with the aquaponics greenhouse is that if a crop is difficult, we'll replace it with one that isn't. We don't have the time to make pest control a lifestyle. Becoming an expert on treatments isn't on my bucket list, and we certainly aren't going to introduce chemicals into an ecosystem whose whole success hinges on the fine balance of fish, bacteria, and plants. Nope, that's a high wire act that doesn't need morel variables.
As mentioned before, foliar sprays of fish emulsion and seaweed extract (iron added) provide a wonderful occasional boost, especially to young or heavily producing plants. For some reason, iron is commonly low in aquaponic systems, as are calcium and magnesium. Because of this, once in a blue moon I add a dollop of seaweed extract (with iron) and a product called CalMag to the water. Call me crazy, but I can almost witness plants greening up and growing after application.
We don't clean as often as you would think. This is as intentional as it is convenient. Aquaponics depend on healthy, functioning bacteria. Aggressive cleaning is detrimental to bacteria. So, we're rather lackadaisical about scheduling heavy cleaning, especially of the bio-reactors, and we're not very thorough about it when we finally get around to it. I learned this lesson from installing and maintaining garden ponds, and I learned it well. Give bacteria their space, and they'll play nice.
Water Quality
Our water is hard, and will stay hard. Fact of life for city dwellers in the Midwest. The pH creeps down constantly, and I need to keep an eye on that. Otherwise, the system is remarkably stable. An interesting point about pH. You'll remember that our system is split into two sides. The left has one tank filled with expensive clay balls called Hydroton, which overflows into a foam raft tank. The right has one tank filled with practically free round limestone gravel. It also spills into a foam raft tank. The pH on the Hydroton side was always threatening to fall below safe levels, requiring me to add things to try to bring it back up. But the gravel side remained remarkably stable. If you think about it, this makes perfect sense, because what's better than lime to moderate acidity? We have half a ton of limestone gravel filtering every ounce of water as often as it passes through the system. One day it finally occurred to me, put a layer of limestone gravel on the floor of the Hydroton's side raft bed, and see what happens. I did, and it has worked. The pH remains a little low, but not so low that I have to worry about it as much as I did.
When we began, I obsessed over water quality, testing constantly. Gradually, came to rely on the system and lost precious little sleep. More recently, we had a few problems with the catfish and Jeff Mitchell, our Curator of Aquaculture and Reptile, thought these were attributable to some water quality issues. We backed off on our feeding regimen some, which has lowered nitrate and nitrite levels, and we've been more aggressive about changing out water. Our problems have abated. Moral of the story: don't get too complacent on water quality. You should lose a little sleep over it from time to time.
Turface and Rockwool
Rockwool is a heat expanded rock product that looks and feels very much like fiberglass insulation. It's not cheap and I really don't like the stuff. I have to use it on the raft tanks, because it prevents the plants from falling through the holes and into the water. Initially, I was told to use it on the gravel and hydroton beds too, which I dutifully did. But soon I began to wonder if I could just plant seed in those beds directly. I tried, and it mostly didn't work. Much of the seed fell down through the crevices into the water. But I knew from starting rare plants from seed at home that Turface is a very useful product in media mixes. It's a calcined clay product that looks like kitty litter. It is often used on baseball infields to dry up puddles or raise low spots. It has an astronomical amount of surface area, holds a lot of water, has an enormously high cation exchange (ability to hold nutrients), and I knew a layer of it on top of the gravel and hydroton would keep the seeds where they could germinate. It worked just as I suspected, and I haven't looked back since. No expensive, gross rockwool in the gravel and hydroton beds, seeds are sewn direct.
Take Home Message
How sustainable is our system, and how sustainable is it for the average guy to do at home? These were questions we wanted to answer when we started the system. For us? We started with a nice but fairly expensive greenhouse with a heating system, which means heavy costs up front and not incidental operating costs. Harvests exceed operational expenses, I'm sure of this, but how many years of operation will it take to recoup the initial capital costs? That's a question for the genius engineers, I'm pleased to say, but certainly it would take time, and also the continued commitment of someone who is fairly passionate about the system. If our system were larger, enabling greater harvests, I believe that the relative harvest to costs ratio would wind up in the favor of aquaponics. But, again, over time. Less time, but still time. This is one reason why this system is so intriguing for urban agriculture.
Interestingly, I think for the homeowner on a budget who puts minimal capital into the system in the early stages (subbing a poly tunnel for a glass greenhouse, for instance), the prospects of economically sustainable success are improved. For one, the system can be opened in the summer to allow naturally occurring insect populations to limit pests, but also because you wouldn't be heating the system in the winter. Yes, this brings production to a crawl for a few months, and you would also have to face the issue of getting the plant/bacteria/fish/water quality balance steadied every Spring, but you would have saved a ton of start up costs. There is still much to learn and improvements to make, which is to be expected from something so new.
Please come visit our greenhouse, which is located near the Base Camp Cafe. Weekdays during the summer months, we have a keeper encounter there every afternoon at 1:30PM. You're also welcome to schedule a tour with us by appointment. Email Fia at [email protected] or myself, at [email protected]

Lessons Learned from a Year of Aquaponics
Part 2: How Aquaponics Works In Spite of Everything
by Scott Beuerlein, Horticulturist
How It Works
So before we go into the "lessons learned," which will be our final installment, here is a quick briefing on how aquaponics works. Aquaponics is a closed loop agricultural system in which fish are raised in a tank. Water from the fish tank is continuously pumped up to a bio-reactor, which is a fancy word for a small filtration system that mainly houses bacteria; that bacteria converts ammonia from the fish waste into forms of nutrients for plants; water exits the bio-reactor and is dispersed through trays housing plants, which take up the nutrients. The water then falls back into the fish tanks so clean that it makes for happy, healthy, hungry fish. We feed the fish and thereby keep the whole cycle going.
Our system is in a small, 12' x 25' greenhouse divided into two sides of two trays each. One side consists of a tray with hydroton, which is expanded clay balls, ($300.00, available from hydroponic suppliers), the other tray is a raft bed, made from foam insulation that floats on the water. Plants are stuck into 1" holes in the foam so their roots hang in the water. The other side is the same, except we substituted ordinary limestone gravel ($15.00) for the hydroton. Air is pumped into the fish tank, the bio-reactor, and the raft tanks. The only inputs are fish food, small amounts of a few nutrients, organic pest controls like insecticidal soap (used sparingly), electricity for the pumps, gas for the heating system, and water.
Why It Works
As a horticulturist who has studied roots and soil and how air and water and nutrients all work together to make plants grow, I still consider aquaponics a weird kind of alchemy. I cannot wrap my head around the idea that roots, which would rot at the drop of a hat in wet, mucky soil, can thrive in a tank of water. Sure, I know there's plenty of oxygen in that water, and, true, without soil there are no soil-borne pathogens in the system, but, still, sorcery of some kind or other must be at play! But that kind of thing has never bothered me very much—could never understand why Darren held onto his ideals with such a blind death grip on Bewitched and didn't just go with the flow. Seriously, a twitch of the nose and you're living the dream on the French Riviera? Fool! He caused so much stress in their lives. Anyway, fact is, aquaponics works and it works pretty darned good.
In our next and final episode, we'll reveal the "Lessons We Learned", which, although fulfilling, will leaving you wanting more.

Lessons Learned from a Year of Aquaponics: Part 1, How It All Began
By Guest Blogger, Scott Beuerlein, Horticulturist
I have to admit, I took on the aquaponics project with some trepidation. Years back, I had flirted a little with permaculture. On ¾ of an acre of prime Anderson Township suburbia, my wife and I had made a valiant stab at going off the grid. Between a large organic vegetable garden, a mini-orchard, a wood burning stove, wine-making, maple sugaring, and more, our little homestead of a pair of parents, kids, border collies, cars, and jobs, we made a fairly good go of being self-sufficient. It was a challenge. It was fun. Most of all, it was exhausting. I eventually burned out. We moved on. My restless mind drifted on to other things. Yet, in moments of weakness and nostalgia, I sometimes found myself pining for a more difficult life—the kind that only sustainable home agriculture can provide. Inexplicably, despite knowing what I knew, I was ready for a new challenge. Maybe this was a weird new twist on the old mid-life crisis? So when the aquaponics project presented itself, I was tempted. Really tempted. But one more thing gave me yet more pause. There were rumors around that all the Zoo higher ups, and all but three of the Zoo lower downs, had what was reported as delusional expectations for this thing. As a consequence, lying awake at night in a cold sweat and thinking about it, the specter of failure loomed large not only as an option, but as a likely and spectacular one. But in the end, with all this in mind, and fully aware that I didn't have enough time to take this on; I did what I always do and proceeded anyway.
First thing, I sought out experienced, wizened old hands who had been there and done that—the stereotypical weather worn, decrepit souls who had seen it all over many hard years and would recount their pearls of wisdom in anachronistically worded , enigmatic fables, riddles, and parables. But I quickly learned that no such people exist. Aquaponics is too new. Way too new. The wizened old hands are usually kids who left Americorps two months ago. They smile with cherubic faces, spew enthusiasm, contain not a fiber of cynicism, couldn't embellish a story to save their lives, and sport names like Josh or Skippy. Moreover, when they recall anything, it always begins with, "Last year…". The most common phrase in aquaponics circles is: "I was wondering that too."The second is: "Chad's parents are out of town. We're having a party!" It's not much of an exaggeration to state that everyone is making this up as they go along. Eventually, I did fall in with a pack of aquaponics geeks who were starting a system along with people from Cincinnati Parks for a Krohn Conservatory exhibit. This group, absurdly old for this sort of thing, consisted of Pete West, a retired engineer who was starting a sustainable agriculture company called Self-Sustaining Enterprises; Designer and Landscaper Adam Wyman of Elements Pro. Kevin Savage, a science teacher from Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy: and Dan Divelbiss, Chief Growing Officer and Founder of Waterfields, LLC, a company growing hydroponic vegetables in Price Hill. Tracy Fryburger from Cincinnati Parks also generously gave advice and encouragement.
The tremendous help these folks provided simply cannot be over stated. They helped with everything from sourcing of equipment and supplies to testing the waters (literally). They came early. They came often. They returned all my calls, answered my questions , and never charged a dime. These were all genius level guys who showed up with laptops, expensive hand held meters, thick catalogs, thicker glasses, mysterious texts, a buzz word rapport amongst each other, inside jokes, and degrees like "Engineering." I could've been intimidated, but I wasn't. My Dad is a genius level engineer of that ilk, and I've been smarter than him ever since I can remember. Sure, unlike me, these guys could calculate themselves out of a paper bag, but can they think like a fish? Or a plant? I can. That's my genius. Ultimately, it turned out those genius guys' abilities to read technical texts and do math combined with my knowledge and skills from a long, varied, and checkered past walking all manner of plants through the valley of the shadow of death made for a pretty darn good team.
In house, credit must be also given to the Zoo's crack maintenance staff. Need a bench to put 300 pound tanks of water onto? Give Terry Jackson 4 ½ hours and a pile of stainless steel scrap and he will build one that will last a thousand years. From our Aquatics Department, David Wardlow knows literally everything. It might take a day or two to find him, because he is in so much demand, but track him down, drop your problem on him, give him a minute or two to ruminate, and, bang, out comes a great solution. He answered my entire myriad of weird, little pump, filtration, and plumbing questions with surprisingly little cussing. Fia Cifuentes from our Sustainability Program, folks in the Animal Department, and many others also provided support. I'm ashamed to admit that it came as something of a surprise that the Zoo is a ridiculous embarrassment of riches if you're trying to do something that involves plants, animals, and water. Finally, special recognition must go to all those smiling, alluring, beautiful sirens (and Chad) from our PR Department who pounced upon me one day while I was quietly eating at the café and against every last bit of my better judgment talked me into doing an aquaponics rap video. Pat Story, our video sorcerer, then managed to turn what I was certain was the most unusable footage in video history from a pile of vile into something that almost went viral.
Credit also goes to Chef Brian McCorkell from the Base Camp Café. Since he is always here and never leaves, he took on the role of feeding the fish and checking on the system on a daily basis. Things have gone a lot better and smoother under his ever steady hand.
Last but certainly not least, none of this would have been possible were it not for the generosity of The Woodward Family Charity Foundation, which funded the greenhouse and equipment. The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is incredibly grateful to them, as are our many guests! One of the most rewarding things about this system has been the high level of interest shown by visitors, and the aquaponics greenhouse has become a popular stop on our ever expanding list of visitor engagement opportunities.
Stay tuned for two more exciting episodes in the near future. You'll find the next installment, "How It Works In Spite of Everything" especially riveting, and the final chapter "Lessons We Learned" will make you laugh, cry, and build your own system!

Daytona, Fla. – The Stetson University cross country team dusted off its running shoes and made the short drive over to Daytona this past weekend to compete in the Embry Riddle Spikes Classic.
The Hatter men and women took part in the event's 5K, pitting them against runners from schools across the region. Both races took place April 4, and saw freshman Clarissa Consol finish the highest among all Stetson runners.
Consol took home second place honors with a time of 18:16.98, securing eight points for her team. The highest men's finisher was fellow freshman Joe Beery, who crossed the finish line with a 16:41.10 time, good enough for 19th place.
Other Stetson runners competing in the 5,000 meters Friday, were Adrienne DeVita, Samantha Hicks and Amanda Spring, who finished sixth, seventh and eighth respectively in the women's heat. DeVita (19:33.70), Hicks (19:47.34) and Spring (20:08.43) each earned team points for the Hatters with 3, 2, and 1 in succession.
Jessica Cosgrove (21:03.50) and Emily Nolen (21:05.69) were 13th and 14th, while Daniella Moreno (21:31.46) and Christine Iselsy (22:40.84) brought home the pack at 18th and 25th respectively. The Stetson women finished the Spikes Classic with 14 total team points and in 12th place overall.
On the men's side of the things, following in Beery's footsteps was sophomore Andrew Townes, who finished 26th with a time of 17:05.56. Austyn Finnk (18:56.00) and James Welch III (20:18.46) bookended each other as the final Stetson runners to cross the finish line, as the pair finished 31st and 33rd respectively.

Months of work on the 2013 Erie County budget will come down to a vote today in which it appears likely that a majority of lawmakers will support a plan to cut $8.5 million to eliminate a proposed county tax increase.
That likelihood drew a stark warning Monday from County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz that he would be forced to implement a hiring freeze and consider rolling back spending on everything from auto bureaus to Erie Community College if the cuts go through.
"Folks, there will be no sacred cows," Poloncarz told reporters ahead of today's budget vote by the Erie County Legislature. "Everything will be on the table and everyone will have to share in the burden created if the legislators refuse to do the right thing."
Poloncarz has sought for days to stave off the budget cuts to his proposed $1.38 billion spending plan, first sending top administrators to the Legislature to explain his budget projections and then Monday offering a compromise to legislators during closed-door meetings.
But six legislators who oppose the proposed 3.4 percent tax increase appeared firm in their commitment Monday to push through the budget cuts when the 11-member Legislature meets this afternoon to consider changes to the budget.
"It's too little too late," Legislator Joseph C. Lorigo said of Poloncarz's proposed compromise, which he and other legislators said offered $1.5 million in cuts. "It's the first time they've reached out with something like that throughout this entire process, and it's when their backs are up against the wall and they see that we're going to eliminate the tax increase.
"Quite frankly, I've never seen people fight so hard to increase taxes."
The six legislators crafted a package that spared popular county programs, but cut funding from fringe benefits, money set aside for potential legal settlements, jail and public works overtime and a social services program that provides aid to people who do not qualify for other welfare programs. It would also increase projections for the amount of money the county would save next year from vacant positions.
Poloncarz, however, has repeatedly warned that the cuts would underfund some expenses he can't control, throwing his budget out of balance and potentially triggering a review by the state-appointed control board.
"The vote the Legislature will take tomorrow is not a vote for or against the tax increase or for that matter quality-of-life programs," Poloncarz said Monday afternoon. "But the vote that they will be casting is for or against an unbalanced budget and the possibility of a hard control board. The vote tomorrow is about whether the Legislature will create a multimillion-dollar hole in the 2013 budget."
Poloncarz said he would be forced in January to make cuts to programs throughout county government, specifically naming rodent control, the highway division, large-scale projects, as well as funding for the Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Erie County Soil and Water Conservation District and cultural organizations.
County spending on the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library system, however, could not be touched because all of its county funding next year is set aside as a separate tax revenue source.
"We will continue until we have found enough real cuts to make up the shortfall that could be created tomorrow in the 2013 budget," Poloncarz said.
James Sampson, chairman of the Erie County Fiscal Stability Authority, also told legislators that the control board has concerns over how the proposed cuts would impact the budget – including how jail overtime would be managed and how the county would meet savings for vacant positions. The board last month found Poloncarz's budget projections reasonable, but has identified potential "risk" factors in both Poloncarz's proposed budget and the changes proposed by the legislators.
The stability authority operates currently in a "soft" advisory status, but its members could determine whether to remain advisory or increase its oversight to a "hard" control board if they find the budget is out of balance early next year.
The six legislators who support the budget cuts include members of the Legislature's minority caucus and Legislator Thomas A. Loughran, an Amherst Democrat who opposes the proposed tax increase. As of Monday, they had enough votes to pass the proposed changes.
"There's a majority; that's consensus," Loughran said Monday afternoon. "There's no gridlock. So I just really think, tone it down. Let's realize where we're at, and out of a $1.4 billion budget, we're talking about amendments. We're making adjustments of $8.5 million out of $1.4 billion."

She's healthy and coming back to television soon!
"It's a matter of weeks, not months," Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts, speaking from her apartment, told viewers live on Monday's show. "I'm coming home."
Looking healthy and resplendent in purple, an emotional Roberts, 52, said she would be coming to work next week for what she described as a "dry run" – taking measure of where she goes on set, her stress level in the studio and her skin's reaction to the lights, all in preparation for a full return to the air.
"My last bone marrow aspiration showed no abnormalities – praise God," Roberts said to the delight of her GMA colleagues. "What all this means is, doctors were waiting for this information so that I can began the process of returning to the anchor chair."
She won't be hosting the program again immediately, but she is working up to that moment when she will – likely some time in February.
"I haven't been live on television since August," Roberts said. "My heart is beating so fast right now, but it means that I am alive. I am so grateful to be as inspired as I am. I can't wait 'til I get back."
Roberts's visit to the show came amid much excited speculation from fans that her permanent return was imminent. She underwent a bone marrow transplant on Sept. 20 after being diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, myelodysplastic syndrome. She has recently been recovering at home.
The anchor was fortunate that her sister, Sally-Ann Roberts, was not only willing to be her donor but was a perfect match. "I'm so happy. I'm so grateful," said Robin, who also demonstrated Monday that she hasn't lost her sense of humor.
Sporting her shorn look, Roberts noted that when she does her trial run next week, she'll be doing "hair and makeup." Pause. "Well, makeup," she said good-naturedly. "We'll talk about the hair later."

In the 1980s, a breakthrough in semen sexing technology was made by USDA researchers in the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California. The patents for this technology were licensed to a company named XY, Inc., of Fort Collins, Colo., which performed a considerable amount of research during the 1990s to optimize sorting procedures efficiency. The first commercial product hit the market in 2003 when Sexing Technologies in Navasota, Texas, was granted a license. Most of the major bull studs now have sexed semen for sale. Let's look at some of the advantages of applying sexed semen in your replacement heifers.
Conception rates . . .
According to the field data that has been gathered, conception rates of replacement heifers inseminated with sexed semen run about 70 to 80 percent of what you have been achieving with conventional semen, with about 80 to 90 percent of the offspring being heifers. A recent report of conception rates of Holstein heifers from 54 herds in which more than 50 inseminations were made using both conventional and sexed semen is shown in Table 1.
The analysis of on-farm records in Table 1 indicates sexed semen achieves conception rates that are about 80 percent of that obtained with conventional semen. However, these results are likely biased by preferential use of sexed semen at first service, and the product is often used on heifers displaying definitive signs of estrus. These results should be interpreted with caution. This bias is also reflected in younger age at A.I., younger age at calving, and perhaps by a greater incidence of normal interestrus intervals for females inseminated with sexed semen compared with conventional semen.
Approximately 80 to 90 percent of the offspring reported from use of sexed semen in Table 1 were female. Based on our use of sexed semen in heifers at the Kansas State University dairy since the third quarter of 2007, we have seen a steady increase in the proportion of heifers born to replacement heifers (first-lactation cows in the figure) starting during the beginning of the third quarter in 2008. We are generally using sexed semen for the first three A.I. services of our heifers. See the graph.
So the percentage of heifers giving birth to heifers should increase, depending on the proportion of females currently born in your herd. According to Table 2, the predicted proportion of heifers born in your herd should grow with time after you have used sexed semen for about 18 to 24 months. That allows 9 to 12 months of A.I. breeding with sexed semen and 9 months of calves resulting from those inseminations.
Remember that DHI records are likely summarizing birth inventory on a rolling 365-day basis, so you'll need a full year of calving data before you'll realize the full benefit of using sexed semen in your heifers. Herds having a greater culling rate will have more first-lactation cows in their herd inventory. So more and more of your total calf inventory will come from your replacement herd. The nice bonus of applying sexed semen to your replacement heifers means that you should be able to grow your herd if desired or, depending on your culling rate, you may have extra heifers to sell.
Sex-sorted semen is a novel technology that has been widely and rapidly adopted by dairy producers to boost the percentage of heifers born and to capitalize on associated benefits. Another, often cited advantage is many first-calf heifers enter the milking string with less calving-related stress. It is often large bull calves that set first calvers back in early lactation. More heifers often leads to a reduction in difficult births.
Preferential use of sexed semen dictates that caution should be exercised when summarizing, analyzing, and comparing fertility and calving data of sexed and conventional semen in both on-farm and population analyses.
