Paul Demny didn't throw a no-hitter this time -- in fact, he surrendered a home run to the first batter he faced Tuesday night -- but he posted another fantastic outing and even helped himself at the plate as the Harrisburg Senators walloped Richmond 8-1 before 2,371 fans at Metro Bank Park.
The Senators (18-21) evened the three-game Eastern League series at one game apiece with Wednesday's 10:30 a.m. rubber match against the Flying Squirrels (18-19) coming very soon.
Demny (3-4) worked six solid frames, allowing four hits and four walks and striking out seven. His RBI single in the second inning tied the score 1-1, and his sac bunt in the fourth helped Harrisburg to a three-run outburst that gave his team some cushion.
Offensively, the Senators rode three home runs -- by Jerad Head, Sandy Leon and Brian Goodwin -- as part of a 14-hit attack.
Nursing a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the third, the Senators put together a string of quality at-bats against LHP Ryan Bradley (0-4) to break things open. Ricky Hague led off with a double down the left-field line, and Demny followed with a sacrifice bunt. A throwing error by Bradley allowed Demny to reach safely. Brian Goodwin, Jose Lozada and Anthony Rendon each contributed RBI singles as the lead ballooned to 5-1.

The Gardner City Council is considering a restructure of it's management system.
The council tabled action July 16 that would eliminate the assistant city administration position and bring back the community development position.
The assistant city administrator job was vacated earlier this year when Melissa Mundt left to accept a job in Aames, Iowa.
The community development position was eliminated in 2010, as a result of a sluggish economy.
The council tabled the action to allow time for new City Administrator Cheryl Harrison-Lee to review the ordinance.

Rabil's Breakout Game Paces Team USA to Win
by Matt DaSilva | Lacrosse Magazine Online Staff | Game Blog
Paul Rabil got untracked for three goals in the first quarter and would add two assists in Team USA's 17-5 victory over host England in the FIL World Championships.

MANCHESTER, England
-- Lacrosse fans here in Manchester have waited with bated
breath for what they saw Monday from Paul Rabil.
Arguably the most popular player in the world, Rabil's splits and swims drew "oohs" and "aahs" during the U.S. national team's first three games. Too often, though, they were followed by "ohs" when Rabil missed just high or wide or hit a pipe.
There were no such disappointments Monday.
Rabil's breakout game included three first-quarter goals and two assists that helped Team USA overcome an uneasy start to blitz host England, 17-5, in its penultimate pool play encounter. The Americans, who have scored 39 goals in two games since their offensively challenged 10-9 loss to Canada, close preliminaries Tuesday against Japan.
"My role is to generate offense for the team. Each game I felt like that's the task at," Rabil said. "These past two games I've ended up with chances on goal where I've converted, but it's so important that we have a collective effort, that it doesn't matter who gets goals or assists. I was on the lucky end in the first quarter, but as long as we're scoring it's good."
The U.S. shot just 9-for-37 against Canada. Since then, coaches have tweaked the lineup to include Ryan Powell at attack and Mike Leveille on the first midfield line.
A hot Rabil doesn't hurt, either.
"He just got his shot going right out of the gate. He's a great guy to coach, because he comes ready to play every single day," said offensive coordinator Joe Alberici. "You saw today the radar was on. Hopefully we can get that continuing through the rest of the tournament."
Rabil scored all three of his goals in the first quarter, as the U.S. turned an early 1-0 deficit into a 5-1 lead with a deluge of goals in the quarter's final minutes.
Team USA led 8-2 by halftime. Kyle Sweeney made it 9-2 less than two minutes into the third quarter on a transition play – the fourth goal in five games for the U.S. long pole.
England's Adrian Bennett answered on the ensuing possession to close back within six, but consecutive fast break goals off Alex Smith faceoff wins – one finished by Ryan Boyle and the other by Brendan Mundorf – in a 45-second span put Team USA out of reach.
Rabil added two assists to his three goals to finish with a game-high five points. Mundorf and Leveille each finished with three goals and an assist. Powell had two goals and two assists.
Smith and Stephen Peyser combined to go 16-of-24 on faceoffs.
"We did a little mixing and matching," Rabil said. "It's been consistent that everyone gets opportunities. It's all about opportunities."
Against Canada, Rabil was silenced by long pole Brodie Merrill after scoring one and stuck a short-stick defender on Boyle or Westervelt.
Alberici said Team USA got too match-up happy.
"We felt like we walked away with too many empty possessions. We felt like our shooting could have been better… What we've been saying is, hey, let's just do what we do well, and we're going to be effective," he said.
That includes, Alberici said, taking long sticks like Merrill to task.
"We know who we like to go to. In a lot respects it doesn't really matter if there's a pole or a short on him," he said. "Those guys can still produce."
For Rabil, it means producing more "oohs" and "aahs," followed by twine-tickling cheers.
News & Notes
Defenseman Eric Martin sat out for the second straight game with turf toe… Defensive midfielder Chris Schiller, who has brandished a long pole at times in Martin's stead, left the game in the fourth quarter after getting slashed in the leg. Team doctors said afterward that there was no serious injury… Team USA's opponent Tuesday, Japan, is coming off the biggest win in its international history – an 11-9 upset of Australia. Barring another upset of the Aussies by Germany or England taking down Canada, the Japanese will be in the medal round.

BOSTON - House Majority Leader Ronald Mariano, a key figure in past health care policy deliberations, said Tuesday he anticipates elements of medical malpractice reform to be included in a broader remaking of the state's health care payment system tabbed for this year.
"There will be some things in there that address malpractice reform," he said. "Will it go as far as I'd like? Probably not."
Mariano said that a bill he filed to moderate reimbursement rates charged by community health centers and hospitals is likely to be weighed during the payment system reform effort.
"There's no pride of ownership here. It's solving the problem," he said.
"Realistically, I know it's a massive leap for the market to go to my bill. But there are all sorts of weigh stations in between that we can arrive at that can cut down the disparities," he added.
Gov. Deval L. Patrick included medical malpractice reforms in a sweeping payment reform bill he filed in February 2010 and which awaits action in the House. Patrick's legislation includes reforms aimed at decreasing the use of "defensive medicine" and reducing costly lawsuits by encouraging reconciliation between doctors and patients. Patrick has also proposed making apologies inadmissible in evidence, and establishing a 180-day cooling-off period before a patient can file suit

If you want to boost the color in your landscape now, don't let the heat stop you. Nurseries have an excellent selection of colorful bedding plants that will thrive in whatever the summer throws at them.
These plants come in a variety of heights, textures and colors, and are adapted to grow in everything from moist, shady areas to hot, dry, sunny locations.
More garden tips
Transplant fall tomato plants into your garden before the end of August. Be prepared to spray with insecticides and fungicides since insect and disease pressure is usually greater in the fall than in the spring.
Fine, silvery webbing on the bark of area trees is being caused by tiny insects called psocids or bark lice. These scavengers are completely harmless to the trees and no control is needed.
When a vegetable crop is finished, promptly pull it up and throw it in your compost pile. If you don't want to plant immediately in the area, mulch it with four to six inches of leaves, grass clipping, pine straw or other materials. Old crops left in place look untidy, allow weeds to grow and may harbor insects or diseases since they tend to be ignored.
Be careful when harvesting or pruning figs. Special cells in the plant produce latex sap that contains ficin. Contact with skin causes ficin dermatitis in people who are sensitive. Psoralens in the fig sap are activated by sunlight to cause a dermatitis reaction in sensitive people as well. For sensitive people, wear long sleeves and gloves when working with or harvesting figs, avoid getting sap on your skin and wash it off promptly if you do.
It's generally worth the investment to install warm season bedding plants in the garden or containers as late as August, given that these plants will stay attractive until late November. If you wait until September, you will not get as much return for your investment. By that time, if you should have empty areas in your flower gardens, it's best to wait until October and plant cool season bedding plants then.
There are a variety of reasons to add a fresh burst of color to the garden now. Our warm season, which lasts from May to October, is longer than many annuals can stay attractive. After months of blooming in your garden, these plants just run out of steam in late summer and begin to look tired. Petunias, cleome, cosmos and balsam are good examples.
Insects and diseases also take a heavy toll by late summer. The loss of plants to insects or diseases can leave empty spaces in your flowerbeds. There is no need to live with these gaps until fall. You can replace what has been lost with new heat-tolerant varieties now.
Or you can brighten up your deck, porch or patio with large pots or hanging baskets full of flowers. This is a great way to add color to outdoor living areas without the labor involved in preparing new beds or getting existing beds in shape for planting.
Preparing beds
To replant your flowerbeds, first remove the old plants and put them in your compost pile.
Avoid putting any weeds that have set seeds into the compost. Dig them out and throw them away.
You could also spray the weeds with glyphosate (various brands) to kill them before removing them. This would be especially recommended if you are dealing with tough weeds, such as bermudagrass, torpedograss or dollar weed.
Next, spread a one- to two-inch layer of organic matter, such as compost, bagged or aged manure, landscape soil conditioner, grass clippings or peat moss, over the bed. Sprinkle about one-half cup of 15-5-10 per 30 square feet (or any general purpose fertilizer following label directions) over the organic matter.
Then, thoroughly incorporate everything into the soil of the bed. Rake it smooth, and the bed is ready to plant.
Try to do this work early in the morning or late in the afternoon when it is cooler, and drink plenty of fluids. The heat is no reason to ignore your flowerbeds, but you should still be careful when working outside during the hot summer months.
What to plant
Since it's late in the growing season, make sure the plants you purchase are healthy and vigorous and have been properly cared for. Avoid plants that look wilted, leggy, have poor color or show signs of insect or disease problems. This is not the time of year to nurse struggling plants back to health. Start off with the highest quality plants you can find.
There are lots of choices for planting now. For sunny beds or containers, choose periwinkle, melampodium, alternanthera, angelonia, blue daze, purslane, portulaca, pentas, torenia, perennial verbena, salvias, sun-tolerant coleus, lantana, zinnia, marigold, gomphrena, cosmos, balsam and celosia.
For shady and partly shady beds and containers, choose impatiens, torenia, begonias and coleus. I'm sure you are likely to see other great choices available at the nursery as well.
When planting transplants, we often rip or pull apart their roots slightly if they are root bound. This is done to encourage the roots to grow into the surrounding soil and help the plant get established. But I would caution against doing this when planting this time of year.
Plants' roots must absorb water rapidly to supply their needs when temperatures are hot, and transplants will not be able to tolerate such damage to their roots now.
Mulch with an inch or two of your favorite mulch and water the bed thoroughly when you are finished planting. The mulch is important to prevent weeds and minimize watering.
Watering is the trickiest part of planting at this time of year. You may need to water the bed fairly frequently until the plants send roots out into the surrounding soil. Watch the plants carefully for wilting, and water when needed.
If you don't feel up to replanting flowerbeds at this time, you can still improve the appearance of your landscape.
Remove the old, unattractive plants, control the weeds and then apply a thick (at least four inches) layer of mulch over the area.
An empty but clean and mulched bed is far more attractive than one full of weeds and struggling flowers. The heavy mulch will keep the bed weed-free and ready for you to prepare it for cool season bedding plants in late October or November.

Delord 25 Year Old Bas-Armagnac
"The nose is biscuity, caramel-like, cream Sherry-like with a touch of cheese-like rancio. The palate entry tastes like bittersweet dark chocolate, cocoa butter, chocolate-covered raisins and dark honey; the midpalate is fruity and less bittersweet than the entry, making for a succulent aftertaste. A genuine classic."Score: 96 Points, Best Buy, Wine Enthusiast
"The deep, old copper penny color is reminiscent of aged tawny porto; flawless purity. The potent spirit races from the copita in the initial aromatic burst, leaving behind dried aromas of raisins, prunes and herbs; aeration serves to alter the aromatic direction as the bouquet turns biscuity, caramel-like, honeyed, cream sherry-like, and even dark chocolate-like, with more than a passing perfume of cheese-like rancio; wow. The palate entry is suggestive of bittersweet dark chocolate, cocoa butter, chocolate covered raisins, and dark honey; at midpalate, the taste profile becomes fruitier than the entry and less bittersweet, making for a succulent aftertaste that's spectacularly satisfying. As good as 20+ year old Armagnac can get, period. A genuine classic." Score: 5 STARS, Highest Recommendation F. Paul Pacult

With this our fourth installment in the weekly All-Decade posts, there's no question it was the toughest to whittle down so far. I'm sure I've missed some people. Tell us about it.
Remember, we're introducing a potential All-Decade team each Thursday until December, when, based on your comments and my original groupings, we'll come up with our All-Decade teams for each sport. Check out the links at the bottom of this post to contribute to all of the conversations so far.
Here's what I have at this point for softball:
Pitcher - Jessica Beech, Okemos -- Only played one season this decade, 2000, but won Miss Softball as the state's top pitcher and is likely the best player ever from this area. Played at and now coaches at Michigan State.
Pitcher - Rachel Turney, Everett -- Graduated after being LSJ Player of the Year in 2003 as the Vikings' leader in wins (88), ERA (0.60) and strikeouts (1,052 in 649 1/3 innings) in three seasons on the varsity squad. Played at Lansing Community College and MSU.
Catcher - Tiffany Cupp, Eaton Rapids -- Hit 15 home runs with 109 RBI over her final two seasons, including being named LSJ Player of the Year in 2007. Played at LCC and likely could play at a number of Division I schools although she's at this point undecided on continuing her college career.
Infielder - Lindsey Pettit, Portland -- A first baseman, had 46 extra-base hits and 77 RBI in leading the Raiders to the state semifinals as both a junior and senior in 2007 and 2008, respectively. An all-stater after both and the LSJ overall female Athlete of the Year as a senior, she plays basketball instead at Ferris State.
Infielder - Lindsay Bowen, Dansville -- The future MSU basketball star was a three-time all-area Dream Team selection in softball and LSJ Player of the Year as a senior in 2002. Her 13 home runs that year still rank in the MHSAA record book.She played shortstop but could easily move to second base on this team.
Infielder - Jenny Poff, St. Johns -- Hit .542, .502 and .573 in her three LSJ Dream Team seasons with only a handful of errors total while playing shortstop for the Redwings, although she was better known as one of the state's top basketball prospects as a senior in 2005. Played hoops at MSU and Ohio University, and softball briefly for the Spartans.
Infielder - Kellie Watson, Ionia -- Lost her senior season because of multiple shoulder injuries and was all-state as a junior despite them. She played shortstop at her healthiest in 2006, when she made her first of two all-state teams, and while a huge hitter could also move to third base on this team with the best arm this area saw this decade. Plays basketball at Notre Dame.
Outfielder - Latoya Beasley, Everett -- Stole 71 bases her final two seasons before graduating in 2003, when she also hit 11 home runs to finish her career. Also an outstanding fielder in making two straight LSJ Dream Teams. Outstanding student attended Central Michigan, but I don't believe played softball.
Outfielder - Shannon Harrington, St. Johns/Bath -- Harrington played outfield for Bath's Division 4 state champion team in 2002 before moving to St. Johns where she pitched and caught. She was the LSJ Player of the Year as a senior in 2004. Played at Alma College.
Outfielder - Amber Olejniczak, Alma -- Hit .425 with 102 stolen bases during her four-year career, during which she also pitched and made all-state twice. Played at Central Michigan.
Utility - Sarah Patterson, Okemos -- Arguably Turney's match pitching, Patterson could contribute there or at least with a dangerous bat. She struck out 890 over her final two seasons, and as LSJ Player of the Year as a senior in 2008 was Softball Classic MVP, hit. 526 with 53 RBI, and was 28-5. Plays at CMU.
Others in the conversation:
Pitcher - Chelsea Sundberg, Olivet -- With one season to go, Sundberg was the LSJ Player of the Year this spring and should be a Miss Softball candidate as a senior. She had more than 600 strikeouts this season although she lost a few when the Eagles had to forfeit some games after accumulating too many regular-season game points.
Pitcher - Danielle Buche, Portland -- Arguably the best of an oustanding group of Portland pitchers this decade, was the LSJ Player of the Year in 2005 with 435 strikeouts, a school record. Played at LCC.
Catcher - Brita Kuiper, Olivet -- A little bit underrated perhaps coming from a small school, or some other poor reason, Kuiper was one of a handful locally who hit Patterson two seasons ago when she was an all-stater. Plays basketball at Huntington College.
Catcher - Amy Siwek, DeWitt -- Didn't allow a passed ball in her final two seasons of 2001 and 2002, and threw out 19 of 25 would-be stealers as a senior while also hitting .448.
Infielder - Barb Fordyce, DeWitt -- The last cut from my original group was a three-time LSJ Dream Team pick at second base and could easily move back into that top team. Nearly flawless in the field, she also excelled at getting on base and terrorizing as a runner. Was a three-time all-stater.
Infielder - Kristen Paterson, Okemos -- Was a two-time LSJ Dream Team selection who played both second and first base for some incredible Chieftains teams.
Infielder - Jenny Gilkens, Alma -- Also a multiple-time pick for the LSJ Dream Team, this shortstop hit .592 as a senior in helping her team to the Softball Classic title, during which she hit .777.
Infielder - Erin Ballinger, DeWitt -- Like Beech, played only one season this decade. But she was a three-time LSJ Dream Team selection. A shortstop, also was an all-leaguer at Grand Valley State.
Infielder - Sarah Johnson, Portland -- She supplied much of the offense as well for Portland's best teams, and was a three-time all-stater. Plays at Alma College.
Utility - Caitlin Hitchcock, Portland St. Patrick -- Her Shamrocks could hang with many of the area's best, as she played outfield early in her career before moving to shortstop and graduating in 2004. Played at LCC.
Utility - Amber Sawyer, Eaton Rapids -- She's also got a season left, but was MVP in leading Eaton Rapids to its first Softball Classic title this spring, and should earn her second all-state award as a senior. She has 91 RBI over the last two seasons, playing outfield and pitching.
Utility - Jessica Stiffler, Portland -- A catcher mostly but also an outstanding outfielder, Stiffler probably would have been even more honored if not on teams loaded with all-staters. She was also a huge part of Portland's two semifinalists.
And the coaches:
Jack Anderson, Portland -- One of the state's winningest coaches has consistently had one of the area's best teams this decade. Led the Raiders to two straight state semifinal appearances. He has more than 700 wins heading into his 30th season next spring.
Mark Kibby, Bath -- Led the Bees to the Division 4 state title in 2002, and after a few down years had them back among the Softball Classic contenders this spring despite being a Division 3 school.
Larry Baird, DeWitt -- Took the Panthers to quarterfinal appearances in 2004 and 2005 and retired with 750 wins in roughly three decades coaching.
Others: Andy Barr (Ionia), Bob Kruger (Grand Ledge), Jeff Cheadle (Everett and Laingsburg), Mick Ream (Dansville), Hub Waite (Lansing Catholic), Danielle Tandoc (Okemos), Scott Warriner (Eaton Rapids).

So I was in a scrum of jostling reporters surrounding New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, trying to keep from being crowded out by my competitors.
I managed to keep my footing and ask Schumer whether he intended to make sure that Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., would not have a big financial advantage over Democratic challenger Jeff Merkley in the Senate race.
You could see Schumer pondering his options. Then he growled: "Jeff Merkley will not lose because of lack of dollars."
Well, no one ever accused Schumer of not knowing how to deliver a good sound bite. What he said wasn't really surprising. The DSCC, which at last count had a $43 million bankroll, has been spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads promoting Merkley and blasting Smith.
Like most incumbents, Smith has a sizable money advantage over Merkley, who essentially depleted his campaign fund getting through a tough primary. But the Smith camp has worried that the combination of DSCC money and a big turnout in Oregon for Barack Obama could be lethal.
And, clearly, Schumer wants Smith and the Republicans to keep thinking that. Even if Merkley doesn't win, the Republicans are going to spend a lot of their money in Oregon.

Partial shade means that an area receives filtered light, often through tall branches of an open growing tree. Root competition is usually less. Partial shade can also be achieved by locating a plant beneath an arbor or lathe-like structure. Shadier sides of a building are normally the northern or northeastern sides. These sides also tend to be a little cooler. It is not uncommon for plants that can tolerate full sun or some sun in cooler climates to require some shade in warmer climates due to stress placed on the plant from reduced moisture and excessive heat. Conditions : Full Sun Full Sun is defined as exposure to more than 6 hours of continuous, direct sun per day.
A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Pruning Flowering Shrubs It is necessary to prune your deciduous flowering shrub for two reasons:
1. By removing old, damaged or dead wood, you increase air flow, yielding in less disease. 2. You rejuvenate new growth which increases flower production.
Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 groups: Those that
require minimal pruning (take out only dead, diseased, damaged, or
crossed branches, can be done in early spring.); spring pruning
(encourages vigorous, new growth which produces summer flowers - in other words,
flowers appear on new wood); summer pruning after flower (after
flowering, cut back shoots, and take out some of the old growth, down to the
ground); suckering habit pruning (flowers appear on wood from previous
year. Cut back flowered stems by 1/2, to strong growing new shoots and remove
1/2 of the flowered stems a couple of inches from the ground) Always remove dead, damaged or diseased wood first, no matter what type of pruning you are doing.
Examples: Minimal: Amelanchier, Aronia, Chimonanthus, Clethra, Cornus alternifolia, Daphne, Fothergilla, Hamamelis, Poncirus, Viburnum. Spring: Abelia, Buddleia, Datura, Fuchsia, Hibiscus, Hypericum, Perovskia, Spirea douglasii/japonica, Tamarix. Summer after flower: Buddleia alternifolia, Calycanthus, Chaenomeles, Corylus, Cotoneaster, Deutzia, Forsythia, Magnolia x soulangeana/stellata, Philadelphus, Rhododendron sp., Ribes, Spirea x arguta/prunifolia/thunbergii, Syringa, Weigela. Suckering: Kerria How-to : Pinching and Thinning Perennials Once you plant a perennial, it does not mean that you will enjoy years of maintenance-free gardening. Perennials need to be cared for just like any other plant. One thing that distinguishes perennials is that they tend to be active growers that have to be thinned out occasionally or they will loose vigor.
As perennials establish, it is important to prune them back and thin them out occasionally. This will prevent them from completely taking over an area to the exclusion of other plants, and also will increase air circulation thereby reducing the incidence of diseases like botrytis and powdery mildew.
Many species also flower abundantly and produce ample seed. As blooms fade it is advisable to deadhead your plant; that is, to remove spent flowers before they form seed. This will prevent your plants from seeding all over the garden and will conserve the considerable energy it takes the plant to produce seed.
As perennials mature, they may form a dense root mass that eventually leads to a less vigorous plant. It is advisable to occasionally thin out a stand of such perennials. By dividing the root system, you can make new plants to plant in another area of the garden or give away. Also root pruning will stimulate new growth and rejuvenate the plant. Most perennials may be successfully divided in either spring or fall. Do a little homework; some perennials do have a preference. How-to : Planting Perennials Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and provide maximum air circulation. Clean up all debris, especially around plants that have had a problem. Do not water from overhead and water only during the day so that plants will have enough time to dry before night. Apply a fungicide labeled for rust on your plant. Fungi : Powdery Mildew Powdery Mildew is usually found on plants that do not have enough air circulation or adequate light. Problems are worse where nights are cool and days are warm and humid. The powdery white or gray fungus is usually found on the upper surface of leaves or fruit. Leaves will often turn yellow or brown, curl up, and drop off. New foliage emerges crinkled and distorted. Fruit will be dwarfed and often drops early.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and space plants properly so they receive adequate light and air circulation. Always water from below, keeping water off the foliage. This is paramount for roses. Go easy on the nitrogen fertilizer. Apply fungicides according to label directions before problem becomes severe and follow directions exactly, not missing any required treatments. Sanitation is a must - clean up and remove all leaves, flowers, or debris in the fall and destroy. Pest : Flea Beetles Flea Beetles are about the size of a flea and are black, bronze, or blue-black in color. They get their name from the way they jump when disturbed. Flea beetle populations are usually more severe when conditions are hot and dry. They can pose problems in the garden; they leave small holes in chewed foliage.
Prevention and control: You've heard it a thousand times, but here it is again - clean up the garden to remove places where these insects over winter. A well-watered, moist garden will not be as attractive to an egg laying mother either. Aside from handpicking, spray with a recommended insecticide. Cultivation between rows will help to destroy eggs, too. Weeds : Preventing Weeds and Grass
Weeds rob your plants of water, nutrients and light. They can harbor pests and diseases. Before planting, remove weeds either by hand or by spraying an herbicide according to label directions. Another alternative is to lay plastic over the area for a couple of months to kill grass and weeds.
You may apply a pre-emergent herbicide prior to planting, but be sure that it is labeled for the plants you are wishing to grow. Existing beds may be spot
sprayed with a nonselective herbicide, but be careful to shield those plants you do not want to kill. Non-selective means that it will kill everything it comes in contact with.
Mulch plants with a 3 inch layer of pinestraw, pulverized bark, or compost. Mulch conserves moisture, keeps weeds down, and makes it easier to pull when necessary.
Porous landscape or open weave fabric works too, allowing air and water to be exchanged. Fungi : Downy Mildew Downy Mildew, a fluffy white fungal growth that develops on the underside
of leaves, is most common during cool, humid conditions. Foliage often discolors
and is stunted.
Prevention and Control: Use disease free plants and space far enough
apart so that air circulation is good. Remove and discard infected leaves or even
entire plants. Use a recommended fungicide and always follow the directions on the label.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - Laura Davies is getting reacquainted with an old friend - her driver - and wound up in a familiar place Friday in the LPGA Championship.
Davies overpowered a long, tough DuPont Country Club course and birdied the last three holes for a 5-under 66, giving her a two-stroke lead over Wendy Ward and putting her halfway home to her first major championship since 1996.
On no other course can Davies, the biggest hitter in women's golf, use her driver so often. On no other course has the 36-year-old from England had so much success - three victories, two of them in the LPGA Championship.
"She has a good feeling for this course and this tournament," said Karrie Webb, who was six strokes back. "She sees the fairways wider, the greens bigger and the hole bigger."
Davies birdied all three of the par-5s, the last one coming on a two-putt from 25 feet after reaching the 465-yard hole in two with a 6-iron. She finished in style, hitting an 8-iron a few inches from the cup on the par-3 17th and rolling in a 20-footer on the 18th.
She was at 6-under 136.
"I really fancy my chances every time I come here," Davies said. "I can get out there and have some fun with the driver. And I do."
A victory would leave Davies just one point shy of Hall of Fame eligibility, and she could join Mickey Wright, Kathy Whitworth, Nancy Lopez and Patty Sheehan as the only women to win the LPGA Championship at least three times.
Ward also relied on the long ball, but with her putter. She rolled in a 50-foot birdie on the 15th and a 35-footer for birdie on the 17th for her second straight 69.
On a day when the 40-and-over group of Jane Geddes (74), Betsy King (78) and Patty Sheehan (77) fell off the pace, Jan Stephenson picked up the mantle with a 69 that left her at 139. Everyone is in the same tough spot, however - trying to catch Davies.
"This suits Laura Davies to a tee," Stephenson said. "She's strong in the rough too. Most people, we're going to have to chip out, where she can blast her way through it."
Davies has finished among the top 10 at the LPGA Championship, sponsored by McDonald's, in five of the past six years. She gets good vibes by what she hears - complaints that the course is too tough - and what she sees - no out-of-bound stakes that cause her to play conservatively with irons off the tees.
"It's a major championship, and there's a lot of whining that goes on," Davies said. "They like the shorter, easier golf courses. I like the longer, tougher golf courses. That's just the way it is."
Indeed, the value of par has been restored at DuPont with its thick, long rough and firm, fast greens. Only 11 players broke par on Friday, and just as many had rounds in the 80s.
"This is a week where you can digest a bogey every now and then," Ward said. "But it's the big numbers that kind of take you out of either contention and or out of the tournament."
Webb knows that all to well.
She was cruising along at even-par, still within four shots of the lead, when she chunked her tee shot on the par-3 fifth hole, blew a chip some 15 feet past the hole and three-putted for a double bogey.
Webb recovered for a 70 that left her at 142, still in the hunt for the second leg of the Grand Slam and her third major championship. Ordinarily, a six-stroke deficit over the last 36 holes is nothing.

Believe it or not, a drop of more than 1% for the Dow Jones Industrials (INDEX: ^DJI ) is actually a vast improvement over where the stock market stood earlier today. Having been down almost 200 points earlier, the market has actually rebounded pretty sharply from its lows.
But when you look more closely at the Dow, you can see particular areas of weakness:
- Old-school industrial stocks are under the most pressure. Alcoa (NYSE: AA ) and Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT ) are both down more than 2%, with Caterpillar facing ongoing labor strife in addition to fears about increasingly unfavorable macroeconomic conditions around the world. Alcoa, meanwhile, remains hurt by the ongoing slump in aluminum demand -- something that will take a strong economic rebound to fix.
- Banks are also among the hardest-hit stocks today. In addition to Europe's woes, Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) is taking criticism for following through on its settlement with government regulators by attempting to modify underwater mortgages for delinquent homeowners. With the intent to mail out more than 200,000 letters, some see the bank as rewarding those who've given up trying to pay, at the expense of those who've acted in good faith to try to meet their mortgage obligations.
On the other hand, some stocks stand out from their peers in their weakness. For instance, Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) continues to struggle, off 2.5% as it tries to tackle the problem of finding a new path. With huge business divisions, there's no quick fix to restructure and move forward swiftly; any major changes will take years to implement and come to fruition. HP has the tools to succeed, but investors will have to wait to see if it has the determination.

Both Springfield's Cathedral and Arlington Catholic have shaken off losses in the Super 8 high school hockey tournament's play-in games and enter Sunday's Division I state final riding a wave of confidence.
No. 1 Cathedral (17-3-2) meets No. 2 Arlington Catholic (15-4-4) at 5 p.m. at TD Banknorth Garden for the state Division I championship.
Cathedral was edged by Winchester, 3-2, in overtime and Arlington Catholic was humbled by Burlington, 6-1, in the Super 8 or Division IA play-in games in Billerica. Losing those games meant neither the Panthers nor the Cougars would go on to Super 8 play for the top high school hockey title in the Commonwealth.
But they were hardly finished. Both teams were inserted as the top seeds for the North (Arlington Catholic) and South (Cathedral) sectionals and in each tournament, the seeds held.
"We were happy to have the opportunity to play in the play-in game and now we have a chance to win a state title," Cathedral coach Brian Foley said. "At this point when it's down to two teams, any team is going to come out hard."
In the South sectionals, Cathedral edged Marshfield, 5-4, in a shootout, blanked Bridgewater-Raynham, 5-0, and took the title following a tidy 3-1 decision over Braintree on Wednesday.
In the North sectionals, Arlington Catholic blanked St. John's of Shrewsbury, 8-0, edged St. John's Prep of Danvers, 2-1, and slipped past Wakefield, 3-2, in a shootout to advance to the title game.
Arlington Catholic, which won the Division II North sectional title in 1990 and the Supper 8 championship in 1997, has received outstanding goaltending in the postseason from Cam Kelley.
Cathedral also has a hot goalie in Central transfer Stefan Audet. His ability to make the big save has given the Panthers confidence and he has come a long way from his days playing home games at Springfield's Smead Arena to now playing for a state title on the big stage of the Garden.
"He's coming off a solid game against Braintree and he is a great goaltender," Foley said.
Cathedral last won a Division I championship in 2003. This will be the Panthers' fourth appearance in the Division I final since the advent of the Super 8 tournament.
Getting a lead could be the key to the game. The Panthers have won a lot of big games this season by setting the tone early.
"We got to February and we found ourselves in holes from fighting from behind," Foley said. "Even in our play-in game and our first round (South sectional) game, we were behind, so we've been focusing on coming out hard.
"It takes a lot of pressure off when you play with a lead," Foley added.
Cathedral did not play Arlington Catholic this season. Both teams are similar and the game should be evenly matched. Sophomore defenseman Brendan Geary missed the play-in game against Winchester, but he has been solid in the South sectionals along with classmates Sean Kavanagh, Stephen Metayer and junior Nick Catjakis. The Cougars are led by a sophomore defenseman, Brian Ouellette, who scored a pair of shootout goals in the sectional final.
"We're very happy with the way our defense has played," Foley said. "They've stepped up and our whole focus has been team defense."
That means the forwards are responsible for backchecking and the Panthers have used their speed to make that an important part of their game.
"I'm expecting a tight game," Foley said. "With our schedule, we have nothing to fear and now it comes down to muscle and working hard each and every shift."

A coax stripper in my opinion is a complete waste of money. I can strip coax with a sharp razor blade faster and much more accurate then a coax stripper ever could and I never nick the conductors. The problem is you are expecting the coax stripper cut all the way through the outer jacket or inner dielectric without ever touching the shield or center conductor.. That won't ever happen its not possible without using some sort of computerized laser cutter. All you need the stripper to do is score the outside of the jacket, simple as that. After you make the score then you flex the coax and the jacket will split right at the score mark. It's kind of like cutting glass...... Same thing for the inner conductor you adjust it so the stripper cuts almost to the center conductor then take a pair of pliers or your hand and give the inner dielectric a twist and it will shear at the score line. When you get the hang of it it's very simple. Like I said, I strip coax all the time with nothing more then a razor blade and I never nick the conductors because I never get close enough. I just make a light score in the jacket where I want the cut and flex the coax Perfect cut every time... _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

KALAMAZOO — The Western Michigan University softball team was no-hit Saturday by Eastern Michigan, which had everything going its way during Game 1 of a doubleheader.

text: I feel it is very unfortunate that Lysacek got injured because of quad practices and had to stop having that jump in his programme. I think though that it is necessary for a future skater to have a quad, but that is not all. A skater needs to have a great choreography and to shine on every other skating area, too.Good for him but will he put it in a competition? How does doing a quad effect his spins and footwork and doing jumps after the halfway point in a free skate? I am just thinking of the fact that Brezina does a great one and hasn't done it in a competition. There are so many factors that must be considered now that the Olympic Gold medalists proved you dont need one.

Dordt College News
Dordt Alumni Art Show at campus gallery
September 24, 2008
Stained glass created by two Dordt College alumni is on display at the Campus Center Art Gallery on Dordt's campus through Oct. 19.
This year's alumni exhibit is called "Working Glass," because several of the pieces are in-progress works illustrating the complex and exacting steps of producing works in stained glass.
Lauren Ochsner, Maurice, and Bruce Medema, Inwood, are the featured artists for the exhibit.
Lauren Ochsner attended Dordt 1973-74 and received his B.F.A degree from Kearney State College in 1976. Together with his wife, Barb, they operate Golden Prairie Art in Maurice, Iowa. For 22 years they have specialized in the matting and framing of art, and stained glass work.
One example of Ochsner's work is the large glass and six-sided steel frame commission work created for Dordt College in 2004, which hangs outside the Hulst Library entrance. Lauren and Barb dedicated this work to their parents and their five children, who all attended Dordt College. Lauren has done many stained glass commissions for individuals, businesses, banks, and churches. His installed work can be seen locally at First Christian Reformed Church in Sioux Center, Carmel Reformed, Calvary Christian Reformed, and Dover Alliance of Orange City. His work in this exhibit include pieces from private collections and a large steel and glass dome piece, with displays of all seven steps that are part of the complicated process.
Bruce Medema graduated from Dordt in 1992, as did his wife Jodi (VandenHoek). The Medemas and their three children live in Inwood, Iowa, where he has established Medema Glassworks. After receiving his studio fine art degree from Dordt, Bruce began work at a stained glass studio in Lake Geneva, Wis. Within two years, he was offered an apprenticeship at the 100 year old company of Conrad Schmitt Studios in New Berlin, Wis., and spent nine years there learning the fundamentals of stained glass fabrication, restoration, and installation.
Medema learned the art of painting on glass, which is a centuries old technique utilized in liturgical glass painting of the 19th and early 20th Century. Inspired by this unique medium, Bruce is now a freelance glass painter. While stained glass has found its truest home in liturgical settings, he believes that it can enrich and enhance any setting, evoking emotion, worship, strengthening remembrance, and binding a community.
Medema recently received a major commission to design and paint 30 new glass windows for the Saint Katherine Drexel Catholic Church in Sioux Falls, S.D., featuring scenes including the nativity and ascension of Christ. This commission is in conjunction with the Dakota Stained Glass shop in Sioux Falls. For the exhibit at Dordt, Bruce has included a number of personal works, a sampling of documentation from Conrad Schmitt Studios, and a step by step painting of the head of Christ in a proposed crucifixion center piece. Both artists share a number of the processes of glass assembly, but offer unique and complementary styles and beautiful works for this display.
The Campus Center Art Gallery on Dordt's campus is open each day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The public is invited to the gallery for a workshop and demonstration of glass making technique on Thursday, Sept. 25, from 4 to 5 p.m.; and the artist reception Friday, Sept. 26, from 6 to 8 p.m.

There was one refrain Tottenville coach Jim Munson uttered over and over again after a heartbreaking 20-18 PSAL loss at New Utrecht in Brooklyn on Saturday.
"We missed too many chances," said the coach, with a shake of the head after watching his team fail on three conversions -- the final one that would have tied the game -- and get a field goal blocked at halftime. "Too many chances. Too many chances. We left too many chances out there. We had opportunities to make plays and we didn't make them today."
Each team scored in the first half but both missed their conversions. Tottenville set up for a 20-yard field goal with two seconds left in the half, but New Utrecht's Curtis Smith and Rony Barrow got their hands on it to keep the game tied at six.
The Utes didn't waste any time starting the second half, scoring on the third play from scrimmage, on a 50-yard bomb from Jordan Paul to Smith for a 12-6 lead.
Tottenville returned the favor on the fourth play of their possession, a Jonathan Derbyshire 14-yard strike to Shaban Shatku, set up by a 30-yard run from Marvin Staten (18 carries, 83 yards).
Just when it seemed the game would pick up the pace, both offenses struggled. Tottenville got sacks from Staten and Kenny Coughlin to help stall the Utes.
But NU finally broke throughwith 10:38 left on Paul's 1-yard sneak and Paul found Eric Pichardo for the two-point conversion.
Tottenville would march back, with Derbyshire converting a 4th-and-6 with his arm and a 4th-and-12 with an explosive scramble, shaking off New Utrecht tacklers twice. Four Staten runs later and the Pirates had a TD, but Staten dropped the potentially tying conversion pass on the goal line.
"We converted. We just didn't convert in the end zone," said Munson. "That's the way it goes. Sometimes the ball goes your way, sometimes it doesn't. Today, it didn't go our way."
The Pirate defense forced a three-and-out to get the ball back, and Derbyshire converted 3rd-and-11, 4th-and-7 and 4th-and-3 situations -- all passes to Shatku -- to get the Tots down to the 20, but Staten fumbled it away with 46 seconds left and NU sat on the ball.
"I'm not worried about him. He's a great player, one of our best players and he'll recover," said Munson of Staten. "He'll be fine. Just a tough game. You win some, lose some."
"Trap game," said the coach. "I said it all week. Our last non-Island game. We got Port Richmond, Curtis, New Dorp and everyone else coming up and we played that way. We did not play well. Give them credit. They played very well. We just left too many chances out there."

The many books written by the dozen authors scheduled to appear together Friday evening at Barnes & Noble in DeWitt probably aren't found in the same section of the bookstore.

Their books include fiction, military history, biography, religious inspiration, children's books and more.
Also at Barnes & Noble in DeWitt, North Country author Cheri Farnsworth will sign copies of her latest book, "Murder and Mayhem in Jefferson County" (The History Press, $19.99), at 4 p.m. Saturday.
