Background: No studies have examined human papillomavirus (HPV) infections among couples early in their sexual relationships when transmission is most likely. Our objective was to describe the distribution of HPV infections among recently formed couples, using the partnership as the unit of analysis.
Methods: Women aged 18–24 years attending a university or junior college in Montreal enrolled in a longitudinal study with their new male partners. Self-collected vaginal swabs and clinician-collected swabs from the penis and scrotum were tested for 36 HPV genotypes. Participants self-reported sexual behavior in computerized questionnaires. We analyzed patterns of genital HPV infection in 263 couples using data obtained at enrollment.
Results: Couples had engaged in vaginal sex for a median of 3.9 months. HPV was detected in 64% (169/263) of couples. In 41% (109/263), both partners harbored the same HPV type—nearly 4 times more than expected if HPV status of partners were uncorrelated. There were 583 type-specific HPV infections among 169 couples for whom at least one partner was infected. Of these, 42% were of the same type for both partners (95% confidence interval = 36%–47%). This rose from 25% among those engaging in vaginal sex for less than 2 months to 68% among those at 5 to 6 months.
Conclusions: Although HPV is common, detection of the same type in persons initiating a sex relationship would be rare given type-specific prevalence rates. The high degree of concordance we found suggests a high probability of transmission.

By Dan King - Newcastle United Club Reporter
Alan Pardew has revealed how the death of former player Gary Speed has affected Newcastle's preparations for Saturday's home game with Chelsea.
Speed will be remembered before kick-off, and Pardew admitted the mood around the training ground has been "heavy" following his shock passing at the age of just 42.
But he hopes his players can put on a performance that the one-time United captain would be proud of when the first whistle blows at 12.45pm - by which time an emotional tribute will have been paid by the sell-out crowd.
Pardew said: "He was a great player here and a captain of this Club. He has been a big loss to us this week.
"The training ground has been heavy, particularly the first two days, because we had a lot of staff and players who were remembering him not only as a great player but also as a great person.
"It has been a difficult week, but hopefully we can prepare ourselves mentally for the game."
All week, supporters have been leaving messages, shirts and flowers at the stadium and on Saturday fans in the East Stand will hold up cards to make up a number 11 - Speed's shirt number at the club - before Welsh tenor Gwyn Hughes Jones will lead the crowd in a rendition of Bread of Heaven.
There will also be a minute's applause, while Speed is on the front cover of the matchday programme, and featured heavily inside.
Pardew added: "We have all been very involved to make sure that we pay the tribute in the right manner, and I think the Club have stepped in the right way to do that.
"Hopefully it will be accepted and responded to well by the fans here who love Gary Speed.
"They will want to show their affection for him, and hopefully we will give them the right platform and atmosphere for that to take place.
"We will be doing as much as we can to pay our respects to him and his family, who are the most important people now."

London Arab journalist Abdel Bari Atwan has been accused by the Libyan transnational government of receiving monthly payments from the Colonel Gaddafi regime.
Libyan opposition leaders has distributed intelligence documents, claiming a number of Arab journalists received payments from Colonel Gaddafi's administration, allegedly including Mr Atwan. He is the editor of the London-based Al Quds newspaper, and a regular commentator for the Guardian and the BBC.
Mr Atwan, who was accused of antisemitism after remarks about the "Jewish lobby" at a debate held at LSE this year, is alleged to have been paid a monthly salary of around £2,500 a month for three years, a claim he vigorously denies.
He called the allegations defamatory, and told the Palestine Press News Agency that the documents were fraudulent. He promised to sue Libya's Mustafa Abdul Jalil, president of the Transitional National Assembly, through the British courts.
Mr Atwan said the campaign against him had begun because he had exposed alleged links between the Libyan transitional council and the Israeli government, via French philosopher Bernard - Henr i Levy, about a possible peace agreement.
On his website, Mr Atwan has previously denounced the Libyan rebel leadership for having "conceited and arrogant conduct" and said: "It is difficult to see how the country can be led by people with a mentality that is characterized by such arrogance, conceit, hostile attitude towards others."
He has previously clashed with Mr Levy, a staunch supporter of Western intervention in the Libyan uprising, on BBC's Newsnight, where Mr Levy dismissed the "ridiculous" comparison that the West had not intervened when Israel launched an offensive in Gaza.

What should I do if some or all covers don't display?
Movie cover images or posters display in My Films, both in the Main and Detail windows. The picture or image you have selected in AMC or your movie catalog database is the one that displays in My Films. You select the path to these images in My Films Setup on the Artwork Tab: Cover Image Path.
There are several ways to store pictures or images in AMC, which determines how the path is stored in the XML database. If your images are stored in the a \pictures sub-folder of the catalog XML, then the default setup in My Films (via the Setup Wizard) should work for you. However, if you use a another method or location, you need to configure the Cover Image Path correctly in My Films setup on the Artwork tab.
Other catalog types store cover image paths in a variety of ways, sometimes only the picture name, in which case you need to add the full path to Cover Image path. It your catalog exports the full path to the exported XML file, you do not even need to specify a cover image path. See notes on specific features supported for your catalog type on the relevant sub-page under Supported Catalogs.

Nation's Largest Disability Insurer
Attorney General Spitzer today announced an agreement with the nation's largest disability insurer to resolve an investigation of deceptive practices in its compensation of brokers and consultants in connection with the sale of group insurance products.
Under the agreement, the UnumProvident Corporation (Unum) will become the first life and disability carrier to agree not to pay contingent commissions on all group insurance products and to provide full disclosure of broker compensation to employers and other organizations that purchase its products on behalf of their employees or members.
"This settlement eliminates incentives for brokers to act against their clients' interest, and ensures full disclosure of Unum's compensation arrangements," Spitzer said. "These reforms, many of which were conceived by Unum itself, will help restore the integrity of the market and promote competition."
Spitzer's office began an investigation of Unum in 2004. The probe was an outgrowth of the Attorney General's ongoing investigation of steering and bid rigging in the insurance industry.
Today's agreement sets forth allegations concerning a variety of undisclosed compensation programs previously employed by Unum. These programs included payments made to brokers based on their ability to persuade clients to renew policies in the face of rate increases, and loans made by Unum to brokers that could be "earned off" if Unum obtained a sufficient amount of business from the brokers' clients.
In addition to measures that will increase the transparency of broker compensation to consumers, Unum has also agreed to stop certain practices altogether, such as the making of loans to, or obtaining undisclosed ownership interests in, brokers. It is anticipated that the agreement could serve as a model for carriers and other participants in the employee benefits insurance industry.
Unum, based in Chattanooga, Tenn., will pay $15.5 million in restitution to policyholders and a civil penalty of $1.9 million.
The investigation underlying today's agreement was led by Deputy Attorney General Kermitt Brooks, with Public Advocacy Division Special Counsel David Weinstein, and Assistant Attorneys General John Carroll and Gaurav Vasisht of the Investment Protection Bureau.

Could next summer's World Cup be a breakthrough tournament for Africa's international sides? Ten teams are still in the running—all with differing levels of optimism—and five of them will get the privilege to represent the continent at next summer's centrepiece.
Could one of them achieve more than any of Africa's sides to date and earn a spot in the semifinals?
This article profiles five African players who could make a major impact at Brazil 2014. Naturally, none of them is guaranteed a spot in the tournament just yet, but all five will be confident of representing their sides next summer.

Purpose: To evaluate the resolutions of slit-lamp microscopy photography using various cameras.
Design: Evaluation of diagnostic test or technology.
Participants: Healthy subjects were imaged with these adapted cameras through slit-lamp microscopy.
Methods: A total of 8 cameras, including 6 custom-mounted slit-lamp cameras and 2 commercial slit-lamp cameras, were tested with standard slit-lamp microscopy devices for imaging of the eye. Various magnifications were used during imaging. A standard resolution test plate was used to test the resolutions at different magnifications. These outcomes were compared with commercial slit-lamp cameras.
Main Outcome Measures: The main measurements included the display spatial resolutions, image spatial resolutions, and ocular resolutions. The outcome also includes the relationships between resolution and the pixel density of the displays and images.
Results: All cameras were successfully adapted to the slit-lamp microscopy, and high-quality ocular images were obtained. Differences in the display spatial resolutions were found among cameras [analysis of variance (ANOVA), P<0.05]. Higher display resolutions were found with cameras using the high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) compared with others, including cameras in smart phones. The display resolutions of smart phone displays were greater than cameras with video graphics array displays. The display spatial resolutions were found as a function of display pixel density (r>0.95, P<0.05) and magnification (r>0.85, P<0.05). Different image spatial resolutions were found among cameras (ANOVA, P<0.05) as a function of image pixel density (r>0.98, P<0.05) and magnification (r>0.85, P<0.05). The commercial slitlamp with a single lens reflex camera yielded the highest image spatial resolution. However, the ocular resolution through binocular viewing of the slit-lamp microscopy was found to have the highest resolution compared with the display and image spatial resolutions of all of the cameras.
Conclusions: Several cameras can be adapted with slit-lamp microscopy for ophthalmic imaging, yielding various display and image spatial resolutions. However, the resolution seemed to not be as good as ocular viewing through the slit-lamp biomicroscope.

- Advancing the Automated Design of Integrated Intelligent Multi-Sensory Systems with Self-X Properties (2016)
- The recently established technologies in the areas of distributed measurement and intelligent information processing systems, e.g., Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Ambient Intelligence/Ambient Assisted Living systems (AmI/AAL), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Industry 4.0 have increased the demand for the development of intelligent integrated multi-sensory systems as to serve rapid growing markets [1, 2]. These increase the significance of complex measurement systems, that incorporate numerous advanced methodological implementations including electronics circuit, signal processing, and multi-sensory information fusion. In particular, in multi-sensory cognition applications, to design such systems, the skill-required tasks, e.g., method selection, parameterization, model analysis, and processing chain construction are elaborated with immense effort, which conventionally are done manually by the expert designer. Moreover, the strong technological competition imposes even more complicated design problems with multiple constraints, e.g., cost, speed, power consumption, exibility, and reliability. Thus, the conventional human expert based design approach may not be able to cope with the increasing demand in numbers, complexity, and diversity. To alleviate the issue, the design automation approach has been the topic for numerous research works [3-14] and has been commercialized to several products [15-18]. Additionally, the dynamic adaptation of intelligent multi-sensor systems is the potential solution for developing dependable and robust systems. Intrinsic evolution approach and self-x properties [19], which include self-monitoring, -calibrating/trimming, and -healing/repairing, are among the best candidates for the issue. Motivated from the ongoing research trends and based on the background of our research work [12, 13] among the pioneers in this topic, the research work of the thesis contributes to the design automation of intelligent integrated multi-sensor systems. In this research work, the Design Automation for Intelligent COgnitive system with self- X properties, the DAICOX, architecture is presented with the aim of tackling the design effort and to providing high quality and robust solutions for multi-sensor intelligent systems. Therefore, the DAICOX architecture is conceived with the defined goals as listed below. Perform front to back complete processing chain design with automated method selection and parameterization, Provide a rich choice of pattern recognition methods to the design method pool, Associate design information via interactive user interface and visualization along with intuitive visual programming, Deliver high quality solutions outperforming conventional approaches by using multi-objective optimization, Gain the adaptability, reliability and robustness of designed solutions with self-x properties, Derived from the goals, several scientific methodological developments and implementations, particularly in the areas of pattern recognition and computational intelligence, will be pursued as part of the DAICOX architecture in the research work of this thesis. The method pool is aimed to contain a rich choice of methods and algorithms covering data acquisition and sensor configuration, signal processing and feature computation, dimensionality reduction, and classification. These methods will be selected and parameterized automatically by the DAICOX design optimization to construct a multi-sensory cognition processing chain. A collection of non-parametric feature quality assessment functions for the purpose of Dimensionality Reduction (DR) process will be presented. In addition, to standard DR methods, the variations of feature selection method, in particular, feature weighting will be proposed. Three different classification categories shall be incorporated in the method pool. Hierarchical classification approach will be proposed and developed to serve as a multi-sensor fusion architecture at the decision level. Beside multi-class classification, one-class classification methods, e.g., One-Class SVM and NOVCLASS will be presented to extend functionality of the solutions, in particular, anomaly and novelty detection. DAICOX is conceived to effectively handle the problem of method selection and parameter setting for a particular application yielding high performance solutions. The processing chain construction tasks will be carried out by meta-heuristic optimization methods, e.g., Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), with multi-objective optimization approach and model analysis for robust solutions. In addition, to the automated system design mechanisms, DAICOX will facilitate the design tasks with intuitive visual programming and various options of visualization. Design database concept of DAICOX is aimed to allow the reusability and extensibility of the designed solutions gained from previous knowledge. Thus, the cooperative design of machine and knowledge from the design expert can also be utilized for obtaining fully enhanced solutions. In particular, the integration of self-x properties as well as intrinsic optimization into the system is proposed to gain enduring reliability and robustness. Hence, DAICOX will allow the inclusion of dynamically reconfigurable hardware instances to the designed solutions in order to realize intrinsic optimization and self-x properties. As a result from the research work in this thesis, a comprehensive intelligent multisensor system design architecture with automated method selection, parameterization, and model analysis is developed with compliance to open-source multi-platform software.It is integrated with an intuitive design environment, which includes visual programming concept and design information visualizations. Thus, the design effort is minimized as investigated in three case studies of different application background, e.g., food analysis (LoX), driving assistance (DeCaDrive), and magnetic localization. Moreover, DAICOX achieved better quality of the solutions compared to the manual approach in all cases, where the classification rate was increased by 5.4%, 0.06%, and 11.4% in the LoX, DeCaDrive, and magnetic localization case, respectively. The design time was reduced by 81.87% compared to the conventional approach by using DAICOX in the LoX case study. At the current state of development, a number of novel contributions of the thesis are outlined below. Automated processing chain construction and parameterization for the design of signal processing and feature computation. Novel dimensionality reduction methods, e.g., GA and PSO based feature selection and feature weighting with multi-objective feature quality assessment. A modification of non-parametric compactness measure for feature space quality assessment. Decision level sensor fusion architecture based on proposed hierarchical classification approach using, i.e., H-SVM. A collection of one-class classification methods and a novel variation, i.e., NOVCLASS-R. Automated design toolboxes supporting front to back design with automated model selection and information visualization. In this research work, due to the complexity of the task, neither all of the identified goals have been comprehensively reached yet nor has the complete architecture definition been fully implemented. Based on the currently implemented tools and frameworks, ongoing development of DAICOX is pursuing towards the complete architecture. The potential future improvements are the extension of method pool with a richer choice of methods and algorithms, processing chain breeding via graph based evolution approach, incorporation of intrinsic optimization, and the integration of self-x properties. According to these features, DAICOX will improve its aptness in designing advanced systems to serve the increasingly growing technologies of distributed intelligent measurement systems, in particular, CPS and Industrie 4.0.
- Evaluation of whole-body vibrations and improvement of the driver's seat performance on a compact wheel loader (2016)
- Whole-body vibrations (WBV) have adverse effects on ride comfort and human health. Suspension seats have an important influence on the WBV severity. In this study, WBV were measured on a medium-sized compact wheel loader (CWL) in its typical operations. The effect of short-term exposure to the WBV on the ride comfort was evaluated according to ISO 2631-1:1985 and ISO 2631-1:1997. ISO 2631-1:1997 and ISO 2631-5:2004 were adopted to evaluate the effect of long-term exposure to the WBV on the human health. Reasons for the different evaluation results obtained according to ISO 2631-1:1997 and ISO 2631-5:2004 were explained in this study. The WBV measurements were carried out in cases where the driver wore a lap belt or a four-point seat harness and in the case where the driver did not wear any safety belt. The seat effective amplitude transmissibility (SEAT) and the seat transmissibility in the frequency domain in these three cases were analyzed to investigate the effect of a safety belt on the seat transmissibility. Seat tests were performed on a multi-axis shaking table in laboratory to study the dynamic behavior of a suspension seat under the vibration excitations measured on the CWL. The WBV intensity was reduced by optimizing the vertical and the longitudinal seat suspension systems with the help of computational simulations. For the optimization multi-body models of the seat-dummy system in the laboratory seat tests and the seat-driver system in the field vibration measurements were built and validated.
- Advantage of Filtering for Portfolio Optimization in Financial Markets with Partial Information (2016)
- In a financial market we consider three types of investors trading with a finite time horizon with access to a bank account as well as multliple stocks: the fully informed investor, the partially informed investor whose only source of information are the stock prices and an investor who does not use this infor- mation. The drift is modeled either as following linear Gaussian dynamics or as being a continuous time Markov chain with finite state space. The optimization problem is to maximize expected utility of terminal wealth. The case of partial information is based on the use of filtering techniques. Conditions to ensure boundedness of the expected value of the filters are developed, in the Markov case also for positivity. For the Markov modulated drift, boundedness of the expected value of the filter relates strongly to port- folio optimization: effects are studied and quantified. The derivation of an equivalent, less dimensional market is presented next. It is a type of Mutual Fund Theorem that is shown here. Gains and losses eminating from the use of filtering are then discussed in detail for different market parameters: For infrequent trading we find that both filters need to comply with the boundedness conditions to be an advan- tage for the investor. Losses are minimal in case the filters are advantageous. At an increasing number of stocks, again boundedness conditions need to be met. Losses in this case depend strongly on the added stocks. The relation of boundedness and portfolio optimization in the Markov model leads here to increasing losses for the investor if the boundedness condition is to hold for all numbers of stocks. In the Markov case, the losses for different numbers of states are negligible in case more states are assumed then were originally present. Assuming less states leads to high losses. Again for the Markov model, a simplification of the complex optimal trading strategy for power utility in the partial information setting is shown to cause only minor losses. If the market parameters are such that shortselling and borrowing constraints are in effect, these constraints may lead to big losses depending on how much effect the constraints have. They can though also be an advantage for the investor in case the expected value of the filters does not meet the conditions for boundedness. All results are implemented and illustrated with the corresponding numerical findings.
- Multi-Edge Graph Visualizations for Fostering Software Comprehension (2016)
- Typically software engineers implement their software according to the design of the software structure. Relations between classes and interfaces such as method-call relations and inheritance relations are essential parts of a software structure. Accordingly, analyzing several types of relations will benefit the static analysis process of the software structure. The tasks of this analysis include but not limited to: understanding of (legacy) software, checking guidelines, improving product lines, finding structure, or re-engineering of existing software. Graphs with multi-type edges are possible representation for these relations considering them as edges, while nodes represent classes and interfaces of software. Then, this multiple type edges graph can be mapped to visualizations. However, the visualizations should deal with the multiplicity of relations types and scalability, and they should enable the software engineers to recognize visual patterns at the same time. To advance the usage of visualizations for analyzing the static structure of software systems, I tracked difierent development phases of the interactive multi-matrix visualization (IMMV) showing an extended user study at the end. Visual structures were determined and classified systematically using IMMV compared to PNLV in the extended user study as four categories: High degree, Within-package edges, Cross-package edges, No edges. In addition to these structures that were found in these handy tools, other structures that look interesting for software engineers such as cycles and hierarchical structures need additional visualizations to display them and to investigate them. Therefore, an extended approach for graph layout was presented that improves the quality of the decomposition and the drawing of directed graphs according to their topology based on rigorous definitions. The extension involves describing and analyzing the algorithms for decomposition and drawing in detail giving polynomial time complexity and space complexity. Finally, I handled visualizing graphs with multi-type edges using small-multiples, where each tile is dedicated to one edge-type utilizing the topological graph layout to highlight non-trivial cycles, trees, and DAGs for showing and analyzing the static structure of software. Finally, I applied this approach to four software systems to show its usefulness.

- We present a new approach to handle uncertain combinatorial optimization problems that uses solution ranking procedures to determine the degree of robustness of a solution. Unlike classic concepts for robust optimization, our approach is not purely based on absolute quantitative performance, but also includes qualitative aspects that are of major importance for the decision maker. We discuss the two variants, solution ranking and objective ranking robustness, in more detail, presenting problem complexities and solution approaches. Using an uncertain shortest path problem as a computational example, the potential of our approach is demonstrated in the context of evacuation planning due to river flooding.
- Zone-based, Robust Flood Evacuation Planning (2016)
- We consider the problem to evacuate several regions due to river flooding, where sufficient time is given to plan ahead. To ensure a smooth evacuation procedure, our model includes the decision which regions to assign to which shelter, and when evacuation orders should be issued, such that roads do not become congested. Due to uncertainty in weather forecast, several possible scenarios are simultaneously considered in a robust optimization framework. To solve the resulting integer program, we apply a Tabu search algorithm based on decomposing the problem into better tractable subproblems. Computational experiments on random instances and an instance based on Kulmbach, Germany, data show considerable improvement compared to an MIP solver provided with a strong starting solution.
- Enabling Low Leakage SRAM Memories at system level: A case study (2016)
- In this paper, we show the feasibility of low supply voltage for SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) by adding error correction coding (ECC). In SRAM, the memory matrix needs to be powered for data retentive standby operation, resulting in standby leakage current. Particularly for low duty- cycle systems, the energy consumed due to standby leakage current can become significant. Lowering the supply voltage (VDD) during standby mode to below the specified data retention voltage (DRV) helps decrease the leakage current. At these VDD levels errors start to appear, which we can remedy by adding ECC. We show in this paper that addition of a simple single error correcting (SEC) ECC enables us to decrease the leakage current by 45% and leakage power by 72%. We verify this on a large set of commercially available standard 40nm SRAMs.
- Linear diffusions conditioned on long-term survival (2016)
- We investigate the long-term behaviour of diffusions on the non-negative real numbers under killing at some random time. Killing can occur at zero as well as in the interior of the state space. The diffusion follows a stochastic differential equation driven by a Brownian motion. The diffusions we are working with will almost surely be killed. In large parts of this thesis we only assume the drift coefficient to be continuous. Further, we suppose that zero is regular and that infinity is natural. We condition the diffusion on survival up to time t and let t tend to infinity looking for a limiting behaviour.
- Embedded ECC Solutions for Emerging Memories (PCMs) (2016)
- Emerging Memories (EMs) could benefit from Error Correcting Codes (ECCs) able to correct few errors in a few nanoseconds. The low latency is necessary to meet the DRAM- like and/or eXecuted-in-Place requirements of Storage Class Memory devices. The error correction capability would help manufacturers to cope with unknown failure mechanisms and to fulfill the market demand for a rapid increase in density. This paper shows the design of an ECC decoder for a shortened BCH code with 256-data-bit page able to correct three errors in less than 3 ns. The tight latency constraint is met by pre-computing the coefficients of carefully chosen Error Locator Polynomials, by optimizing the operations in the Galois Fields and by resorting to a fully parallel combinatorial implementation of the decoder. The latency and the area occupancy are first estimated by the number of elementary gates to traverse, and by the total number of elementary gates of the decoder. Eventually, the implementation of the solution by Synopsys topographical synthesis methodology in 54nm logic gate length CMOS technology gives a latency lower than 3 ns and a total area less than \(250 \cdot 10^3 \mu m^2\).

Impressions of Rashied Ali
August 13, 2009. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: Live Music, Masters, News
Sad news to report. Rashied Ali has died. Information is spare, but it has been confirmed on his website.
I can remember first hearing Rashied like many jazz lovers - by consuming vast amounts of the recorded legacy of John Coltrane. I followed Trane to the end, including every note that followed the dissolution of the famous quartet with McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones. Rashied Ali joined the group, and Elvin Jones was quick to depart. That made Rashied the go-to guy for Trane, and they really created some amazing music together. I wore out the Coltrane/Ali duet recording, Interstellar Space when I was in college. I simply could not fathom how two people created so much sound.
Fast forward to June 24, 2004. I was the producer for a live broadcast from Sounds of the City, an outdoor concert series presented by the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. The first of three acts we recorded that day was a duet with saxophonist Sonny Fortune and drummer Rashied Ali. Meeting them both for the first time was one thing, but it's the concert that I'll never forget. It's one song - Coltrane's "Impressions," and it lasts for 55 minutes. We broadcast it live on WBGO. Click the button above to hear it. It was 5pm, right at the beginning of our drivetime. I think that if I had a car that day, I would have driven around the city until the song was over, because both of these gentlemen were so heavily invested in the music. That's something I hope anyone can appreciate - a life dedicated to music. I'll miss you, Rashied.

While coaching at Indiana University, Bob Knight was involved in no fewer than 18 incidents in which he lost control of his temper. In one of these, he assaulted a police officer.
IU president Myles Brand is to be commended for finally firing Knight in spite of the controversy that ensued.
Now Texas Tech University has taken on Knight as its men's basketball coach. On March 23, at the United Spirit Arena in Lubbock, he was welcomed by area citizens like some kind of god.
Panhandle people, where are your values? Where is your moral indignation at this man who is supposed to be a role model for our youth?
A public schoolteacher showing such a pattern of behavior would not last 10 years in his profession, much less 30, as Knight has. Nor would he be receiving an annual salary of $400,000!
Animal magnetism
Recently, I adopted a cat from the Humane Society.
I was very impressed with the assistance and the facilities. The cages were clean and the I animals observed, aside from wanting attention, were fine specimens - which made my decision harder!
I applaud the fine work this group is doing, along with the Amarillo Animal Control. The genuine concern for these defenseless creatures was noted. I'd like to thank Humane Society personnel for making this adoption experience so easy and pleasant.
I hope anyone who is seeking a new companion will first look at these wonderful animals before seeking a pet anyplace else. The rewards will be great!
No exceptions for mistakes
I watch the newspaper, listen to newscasters and read instructional signs daily. It is rather disheartening to see and hear poor grammar, misuse of words and atrocious misspellings from noted professionals, diarists and instructors. It is even an evident problem in periodicals and during newcasts in languages other than English.
In the March 23 Area edition of the Amarillo Daily News, the subtitle of a Sports page headline read: "Ex-Indiana coach to except Red Raider job tonight."
Had I not read the ensuing article, I would have concluded that Mr. Knight had excluded himself from consideration for the coaching job at Texas Tech. Obviously, the converse is true.
I understand some lapses of proofreading in the texts of the hundreds of stories, great and small, that are printed daily. However, for an error of this sort to appear in a headline of some summary importance is inexcusable.
There are those of us who watch because, without "exception," we must teach our children well.
Prayer not expelled
Letter-writer Latricia Ray, a student at Palo Duro High, missed the point of my March 2 letter concerning organized school prayer.
Certainly Ms. Ray has the right to express herself to "everyone in every place at every time of the day." But the fact that her teachers do not have organized prayer for her every morning certainly does not mean that God is not allowed in PDHS or that he will be punishing the school, as one reader claimed had happened in Littleton, Colo.
In her letter, Ms. Ray states, "We students who believe in God and do pray in school feel that praying is sometimes the only thing that gets us through the day."
So where is the problem here? Obviously students are already praying in her school! As someone has said, "So long as there are math tests, there will always be prayer in our schools."
Do I think the same way Madalyn Murray O'Hair thought? Only to the extent that church and state should remain separate and that students should not be forced into classroom prayer experiences.
The West Paducah, Ky., students were not doing a "bad thing" by praying in their school hallway, but making a big show of your Christianity always reminds me of the people in Jesus' time who prayed on the street corners so they could be heard and seen by others. If you want to be a witness for Christ, let people see how you live and treat others, not how you pray. Finally, remember that all U.S. citizens are supposed to have the same rights. I can think of several denominations right here in Amarillo that would be extremely unhappy if their children were being led in prayer by a Southern Baptist or a Mormon. No one has taken away your right to pray in school- only your ability to impose your prayers on a captive classroom audience.
Dubya no 'Slick Willie'
As is to be expected, Bill Nichols, in his March 12 guest column, joins the liberal whine over the prospect of paying for local services locally.
He is clearly at home attached firmly to the financial teats on the federal sow, secure in the belief that "someone else" will pay for our schools, our police, and, yes, our homeless.
Does it ever occur to Mr. Nichols and his fellow liberal thinkers that cycling those funds through the bloated federal bureaucracy imposes a steep toll for their handling, with no beneficial effects?
As regards ol' Bill's disappointment in Dubya's lack of charisma, perhaps he'd be a little happier if our president could be induced to bite his lip occasionally to indicate how he feels our pain.
However, even in the interest of Mr. Nichols' comfort level, I'm sure Dubya will draw the line well short of fun and games with interns, and it is probable that the White House furnishings will remain intact when the Bushes leave (hopefully in 2009).
Systems failure
In 1984, the cost to run successfully for a state office far exceeded the total amount the winner would be paid in both salary and benefits. Since then, we have all been watching and wondering how our system could get any worse.
What was I thinking in 1992, when Bill Clinton first ran for president and was elected?
Well, the Democrats had a much better candidate in Sen. Bob Kerrey from Nebraska - like Sen. John McCain, another great war hero, but not tainted by scandal (the Keating Five).
Kerrey was about as close to being an expert in medical care legislation as one can be.
As we all know, the failure to raise money not only forced Kerrey from that presidential race but later forced him out of politics altogether. He just didn't want to take money from anyone!
Only later were we to learn that Clinton took large amounts of money from the Chinese.
To this day, we don't know what they got in return.
Hey, all this didn't bother Clinton, because his ability to take money from anyone he chose made it possible for him to be reelected in 1996.
What were we thinking?
Today, Bill Clinton should be in prison, not on the public dole.
Can this system be reformed? Yes, it can and should be.
The really big problem now is that we have all the wrong folks in office.
I do not think they really want to change the system.
Maybe a letter to your congressman would help.

A half-naked man tackled a Volusia deputy who responded to check the call about a semi-nude individual lying on the ground near a street corner, Volusia deputies said.
When the deputy arrived near Carlton and West Howry avenues near DeLand, he found Ryan Wolf, 21, a McDonald's employee, wearing only a black T-shirt lying in well-lighted area, an arrest report noted.
Several neighbors were outside their homes watching Wolf, who did not have any pants on, deputies say. Wolf refused to identify himself and hurled obscenities at the deputy.
He then took an aggressive stance against the deputy. As the deputy tried to restrain Wolf, he suddenly pulled away and grabbed the deputy by the throat and attempted to squeeze the law man's throat, the report shows.
The deputy had to quickly "utilize a takedown technique, which escorted Wolf to the ground," the report states.
The deputy wrote in the report that wolf "did unlawfully expose or exhibit his sexual organs in a public place or be naked in such place," the report detailed.
Wolf, who was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail on Saturday, is charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and indecent exposure.
Wolf is out on $10,500 bail, court records show.

Frequently asked questions and their Answers
1.What is this on-line admission process?
Ans.Instead of visiting many junior colleges to fill up the form of each college physically, filling up only one form with preferences of many junior colleges and submitting it online from a computer with internet facility and thereby securing admission in a junior college as per merit, is the online admission process.
2. Who is going to conduct the on-line admission procedure?
Ans.The Deputy Director of Education, Mumbai region, with the technical support of MKCL, will conduct the on-line admissions.
3. Where will the students get assistance for the on-line procedure?
Ans.The Head Master, Class Teachers and the staff of the school from where the student has passed his std. X examination or the guidance centers established in each ward / Taluka will provide guidance to the students.
4. Is the student required to fill and submit admission form in every Junior college that he/she wishes to apply?
Ans. The student is expected to fill only one form in which he can give college preferences as per his / her choice.
5. Where will the facility for filling up the On-line application form be made available?
Ans. A student can fill up the online form from his/ her own school from where he/she has passed std. X exam. or his/her house or from anywhere else where computer with internet and printing facility is available.
6.Once the form is filled on-line and two print outs are taken, does it mean that the online procedure is complete?
Ans. No. The student must check the information filled up in the online form. He/she must ensure he/she possesses the required certificates. In case of any error or shortcomings, the student must contact the guidance center.
7. Will the student get admission to the college on the basis of his preferences mentioned in the option form?
Ans.7 A student will be allocated a seat in the college of his preference on the basis of his/her marks and the availability of seats in the concerned college. In case, his/her name does not appear in the college that was his first choice then, on the basis of the availability of the seats, the second preference will be considered and then the third and so on.
8. Does the student need to fill up a separate form for separate streams?
Ans. No. A student has to fill only one form, for atleast one or maximum two streams from Arts, Science and Commerce.
9. Will the student get subjects of his/her choice?
Ans.The Online process will only allot a seat in a faculty of a Jr. College. The optional subjects will be allocated by the Principals of Junior colleges, subject to merit and availability.
10. In case a student has not secured enough marks, can he/she get admission to a college of his/her choice?
Ans. Admission will be on the basis of merit and preferences given by the student. If the student's name appears in the merit list of a college of his choice, then only can he/she get admitted to that college.
11. Will the merit list be college-wise? Will there be one merit list for MMR?
Ans. All merit lists will be college-wise. A single merit list will be generated for the entire MMR.
12. How many seats been reserved for the Managements of Junior colleges?
Ans. 5% seats are reserved as management quota.
13. Is it necessary for those students to apply on-line who wish to seek admission under the Management/ In-House / Minority quota?
Ans. Yes it is compulsory for those students to apply on-line. In case management/In House / Minority seat has been denied to the student, he/ she will not be out of the admission procedure and will still be considered for admission on the basis of his/her merit and preferences mentioned in his/her online application form.
14. Will the merit list be published by the respective colleges on their premises?
Ans. Yes. Every college will display their respective merit lists from time to time. The merit list will also be available on the Website announced by MKCL. In addition, to help the students, MKCL will attempt to intimate a student by sms on his/her cell, on the cell number provided by the student in his/her online application form. The student must understand that, in case he/she does not receive sms, it is the student's responsibility to check the allotment by using his/her login ID and password or by checking the merit lists on the website or in colleges.
15. Will the college management demand separate forms to be filled in for admission, under management quota?
Ans. All decisions regarding admissions under the management quota are at the discretion of the respective management.
16. Will constitutional and special reservations be followed?

Ans. In case of such technical failure, the student is expected to contact the guidance Center of his/her area and appropriate guidance will be offered to him/her. In case of any emergency, the Government will take appropriate decision.
19. Who is authorized to admit students to the Minority institutions (linguistic and religious) under minority quota?
Ans. 50% seats are reserved for admissions to students belonging to the linguistic or religious minority, under Minority Quota. These admissions will be processed by the respective managements.
20. Who will admit a student, after his/her name appears in the merit list?
Ans. The Principals of the respective Jr. colleges will admit the students, as per the procedure of the college and according to the merit list published. The student is expected to produce his/her original certificates and pay the prescribed fee of the junior college at the time of admission.
21. Can a Junior college refuse admission to a student whose name has appeared in the merit list? What should a student do in case he/she is refused admission?
Ans. No. A Junior college cannot refuse admission to a student whose name has appeared in the merit list, provided the student approaches the Jr. College within the prescribed time limit. However, admission is subject to authenticity of original documents and payment of necessary fees. In case of any refusal, the student can approach the guidance Center of his/her area.
22. Will there be only one round of admission?
Ans. No. There will be more than one round of admissions.
23. Will the cut-off marks of last year be available college-wise?

Ans. Selection of MMR, OMMR and OMS is to be done by applicant only & before locking data we are asking applicant to check for correctness of data. Now you can visit your school Principal & get your application form 'Reset'. After resetting the application form, you have to fill online application form again with your application ID & password given in information booklet.
27. What is my password? Did it change?
Ans. During first login on website, you have to use application ID & password given in your information booklet. After entering this application ID & password, software will ask to change your password & also asks you for security questions & answers for retrieving your password in case you forgot your password. You are also requested to take print out of new password & security question for your records & also preserve it in secured place.
28. What's the difference between science general and science bifocal and which subjects are included in either of these streams?
Ans. Difference between Bi-focal & General stream is, in Bi-focal you are applying the particular stream ( either Science or Commerce) with technical subjects & in general stream (Science, Commerce & Arts) you are applying for non-technical subjects.
29. Can I enter my seat no. and board in the application form to check my information (seat no, name, school etc) before the online process?
Ans. While filling up online application form, If you are MMR, SSC Board fresher candidate then your information will be displayed after selecting Board & entering seat no..

Updates from Friday, Feb. 21
According to Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee, Jason Terry will rehab in Dallas for the remainder of the season:
Coach Michael Malone says in radio interview that Jason Terry will not join Kings, will rehab in Dallas rest of season— Jason Jones (@mr_jasonjones) February 22, 2014
Original Text:
Speculation surrounding a potential trade involving Jason Terry increased in the days leading up to the NBA trade deadline, and on Wednesday, a deal was finally made.
According to SportsCenter on Twitter, the Brooklyn Nets have struck an agreement with the Sacramento Kings to swap Terry and Reggie Evans for Marcus Thornton:
Nets agree in principle to trade Jason Terry and Reggie Evans to Kings for Marcus Thornton. (via @ESPNSteinLine & @NotoriousOHM)— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) February 19, 2014
When the 36-year-old Seattle native moved from Boston to Brooklyn along with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett in the offseason, expectations were high for the Jason Kidd-led Nets.
ESPN's Mike Mazzeo passed along a quote from the preseason that now seems especially ludicrous in hindsight:
"There's something in the air here that says the Brooklyn #Nets will be champions next year." -- Jason Terry 7/18/13— Mike Mazzeo (@MazzESPN) February 19, 2014
It's safe to say things haven't quite gone according to plan.
Although the Nets entered the All-Star break in a playoff spot, that had more to do with the weak nature of the Eastern Conference than the play of the team, as they stood at 24-27 and nearly 16 games behind the Indiana Pacers. And it certainly didn't have anything to do with Terry.
The "Jet" has failed for takeoff (I'm sorry) this season, stumbling to career lows in minutes (16.3 per game), points (4.5), rebounds (1.1), assists (1.6), steals (0.4) and field-goal percentage (36.2). The once-enthralling source of instant offense has been unable to make any kind of an impact in his 15th NBA campaign.
As Newsday's Rod Boone noted, this is a disappointing end to a frustrating stint for Terry:
Jason Terry said he's not sure if trade rumors involving him are true. If he's moved, he said he'd disappointed. Wanted to win title in BK.— Rod Boone (@rodboone) February 19, 2014
But with his final goodbye, the veteran guard was able to provide the Nets with a nice parting gift.
How would you grade this deal for the Nets?
Thornton certainly doesn't come without his deficiencies—in 2013-14, he's shooting a career-low 38.1 percent from the field and averaging only 8.3 points a game—but he can score in a hurry. The 26-year-old LSU product can play the same instant-offense role off the bench that Terry was meant to play.
At the very least, he significantly improves the Nets' second unit and gives them a better shot at making some noise down the stretch in the weak East.
As for Sacramento, taking on Terry is strictly about a salary dump. According to ShamSports.com, he is set to make just less than $6 million next season (compared to Thornton's roughly $8.5 million), freeing up more room on the books for the team to continue its rebuilding process.

Stations were set up all around Max Clunie Field on the weekend with players from the Northern Lights School Division getting top-notch instruction from the Football Saskatchewan coaching staff. Football officials also had a clinic this weekend as a large number participated in sessions held in the Summer Games Building. Shown in the photo is a partial view of the activities that were given to the players and coaches during the three-day event.
While players and coaches were outside being put through their paces, football officials from northern Saskatchewan were also hitting the books this weekend as a Canadian Football Association official's clinic was held at the Summer Games Building in Prime Ministers' Park.
"The goal is to try and have the northern league be self-sufficient," explained Barry Mihilewicz, one of the facilitators of the event. "This is just such an excellent program for the north in general and all of its communities."
"It's amazing to see the spirit in the northern communities," added Mihilewicz, who along with other local officials worked games in the newly-formed northern Saskatchewan league last year. "It really brings the whole community out; sport and culture makes such a positive difference."
Mihilewicz has been an official in Prince Albert for more than 30 years and when he got involved it was the local group getting lessons from experienced referees out of Saskatoon.
Now that the Prince Albert Football Referees Association has grown in numbers and experience, it is up to them to pass on their knowledge to those in northern communities.
"We had a clinic in LaRonge last year and there are a couple that now have their Level 1 or Level 2," said Mihilewicz. "They are now mentoring other officials and you need that in a program to sustain it."
About 15 officials were at the clinic in Prince Albert on the weekend giving the northern communities a strong base to work with. Introductory information was passed on for sideline and umpire positions and Mihilewicz is hopeful that three or four will progress into head referee positions.
While they will still rely on the experience of Prince Albert officials when working games a big step in the right direction has already been made with the interest being shown by the large group of newcomers.
Football has indeed become a provincial sport.

Consumer Confidence Dips
August 17, 2009-- Home Textiles Today,
The Consumer Confidence Index retreated a bit further in July to 46.6, down from 49.3 in June, according to the Conference Board. The research organization, which maintains the index based on a sample of 5,000 U.S. households, said its Present Situation Index decreased to 23.4 from 25.0 last month and the Expectations Index declined to 62.0 from 65.5 in June.
Custom research company TNS conducts the survey for the Conference Board. The cutoff date for July's preliminary results was July 21. "Consumer confidence, which had rebounded strongly in late spring, has faded in the last two months," said Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center.
"The decline in the Present Situation Index was caused primarily by a worsening job market, as the percent of consumers claiming jobs are hard to get rose sharply. The decline in the Expectations Index was more the result of an increase in the proportion of consumers expecting no change in business and labor market conditions, as opposed to an increase in the percent of consumers expecting conditions to deteriorate further," she said. "However, more consumers are pessimistic about their income expectations, which does not bode well for spending in the months ahead."
Consumers continued to rate current conditions unfavorably in July. Those saying business conditions are "bad" increased to 46.3% from 45.3%, while those saying conditions are "good" increased to 9.1% from 8.1%.
Consumers' assessment of the labor market deteriorated further. Those claiming jobs are "hard to get" increased to 48.1% from 44.8%, while those claiming jobs are "plentiful" decreased to 3.6% from 4.5%.
Consumers remain quite pessimistic about the short-term outlook, the Conference Board said. The percent of consumers anticipating an improvement in business conditions over the next six months decreased to 18% from 20.9%, and those expecting conditions to worsen decreased to 18.9% from 20.4%.
The labor market outlook was also mixed. The percentage of consumers expecting more jobs in the months ahead decreased to 15% from 17.5%, and those expecting fewer jobs decreased to 26.3% from 27.6%. The proportion of consumers expecting an increase in their incomes declined to 9.5% from 10.1%.

Alter, Gary J. M.D.
Background: Weight gain and subsequent weight loss usually result in unsightly large fat deposition in the pubic areas along with ptosis of the fat pad and skin. Men also complain of burying of the penis and the woman complains of labia majora enlargement, both causing secondary sexual dysfunction, hygiene issues, discomfort, and aesthetic concerns. Even with weight loss, most of these deformities persist.
Methods: The hidden (buried) penis is characterized by a lack of firm attachments between the Buck fascia surrounding the tunica albuginea of the corpora and the dartos fascia and skin. Successful treatment requires the penile skin and dartos fascia to be stabilized to the penile corporal bodies to make the penis one integrated unit. The method of surgery is usually to excise and lift excess pubic skin, eliminate the pubic fat without creating a significant pubic concavity, and stabilize the penile skin to the corporal bodies with tacking sutures dorsally and ventrally. If inadequate penile skin is present, scrotal flaps or skin grafts are used to cover the penis. Treatment of the mons pubis requires similar pubic lifting, fat excision, and pubic tacking. Labia majora reduction requires skin and usually fat excision.
Results: Results are excellent with the use of these techniques.
Conclusions: Pubic contouring after massive weight loss in men and women is very successful and safe if performed meticulously. Treatment improves self-esteem along with the associated physical and aesthetic deformities.

The following are statistics relating to awards, and delivery costs and savings from InjuriesBoard.ie in 2012.
Awards Volumes and Values
In 2012, the Board made 10,136 Awards to the value of €217.94 million. An Award is the value of compensation payable to an individual in respect of a Personal Injury claim where liability is not disputed. It includes General Damages for pain and suffering caused by the injury both to date and into the future. An Award may also include Special Damages for financial loss both to date and into the future e.g. loss of wages, cost of medical care etc. The table below sets out the number and value of Awards made each year since 2006.
Awards Volumes and Values by year
Awards by Claim category
The graph below shows that in 2012, 75% of all awards were in respect of Motor cases, while 8% related to Employer's Liability and 17% related to Public Liability.
Breakdown of total no. of Awards in 2012 by value and Claim Category
64% of InjuriesBoard.ie Awards are under €20,000 and 91% are under €38,000 as per the table below. The profile of personal injury claims has remained relatively consistent since the Board became operational. Injuries sustained were and continue to be predominantly soft tissue or fractures, or a combination of both with associated compensation award levels of approximately 90% of such cases below €38,000 and two thirds below €20,000.
Breakdown of Total No. of Awards in 2012 (by Value and Claim Category)
Value of Average Awards by Category
The graph below shows the average value of awards by each of the categories in 2012 i.e. Motor, Employer's Liability and Public Liability. The average award of €21,502 in 2012 was marginally (0.76%) higher than in 2011. The volume of cases in each category can vary year to year reflecting changes in the economic environment and the flow of new claims. This, in turn, causes variations in the overall average award from year to year. Award levels have been relatively stable over the past 2 years.
During 2012, and in line with earlier years, awards in the Employer's Liability category were highest at €27,286 reflecting the often more serious and complex nature of the injuries sustained in such accidents, Motor awards averaged €20,631 and Public Liability awards averaged €22,656. The figures below reflect the 10,136 Awards made of which 7,622 were Motor cases, 1,707 were Public Liability and 807 were Employer's Liability cases.
Range of Awards – Highest/Lowest Awards 2012
The lowest and highest awards are shown below. The Board processes claims ranging from very low severity to very serious cases.
Highest Award 2012: €697,495
Lowest Award 2012: €66
Assessment Timeline
InjuriesBoard.ie is obliged, under the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act 2003, to assess claims within 9 months of the Respondent (those from whom compensation is sought) consenting to the Board's process. The 2012 results for InjuriesBoard.ie show that the average time to make an assessment was 7.2 months; this was achieved as a result of the Board's continuing commitment to efficiency and on-going process review.
Cost Savings
In 2012, InjuriesBoard.ie delivered the current level of compensation at a delivery cost of 8.7% as against 46% under the litigation system prior to the Board's establishment, as identified in the Motor Insurance Advisory Board Report (2004). The Board's delivery costs are not based on a percentage of the amount of the award but are predominantly fixed fees for Claimants (€45) and Respondents (€850*).
*€600 from 1/1/2013
In 2012, 6,124 awards were accepted by customers of InjuriesBoard.ie resulting in €127.62 million of compensation. The relevant figures since 2007 are outlined in the table below. The volume of accepted awards is reasonably consistent over the past 6 years. The value of compensation is impacted by the mix of claims received i.e. whether Motor, Public place or workplace, in addition to the severity of the injuries and financial losses within each of these categories.
While the Board made 10,136 awards in 2012, for the purposes of calculating direct savings, the Board only include, in our evaluation, the awards which are accepted by both Claimants and Respondents.
Total Number and Value of InjuriesBoard.ie Accepted Award
The table below shows the actual InjuriesBoard.ie delivery costs of €11.47m and compares it to the estimated overhead cost of delivering the same award value under the litigation system (46%) i.e. €58.71m. The resulting savings are shown in the bottom row. Direct InjuriesBoard.ie savings in 2012 were €47.24m.

The Aeon Arcana was present in Persona 3 Fes and Portable, starring one of the main characters in the game, the anti Shadow weapon Aigis. The Arcana was mysteriously absent in Persona 4: now it's back in Persona 4 Golden and it's tied to one of the new characters introduced in PsVita port. The Aeon Social Link stars Marie, the new resident of the Velvet Room. The events around her will focus on the player helping Marie recovering her lost memories and making her know more about the world outside of the Velvet Room. To initiate the link, you'll have to visit the Velvet Room from April 18th onwards: if the event doesn't start, exit and enter the room again. Marie will be available on Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays but not on rainy days. Maxing the Aeon Social Link will allow you to fuse the strongest Persona of the arcana, Kaguya and unlock a new dungeon called the Hollow Forest, available on February 13th.

Deer Can Be Devastating to a Garden
Posted by admin in Garden on 13-03-2013
Every year I love to garden, watching beautiful plants emerge from small, tiny seeds is such a joy. There is no other feeling quite like walking through a yard enjoying the emerging flowers with their bright colors and sweet scents, or in visiting the vegetable garden to pick fresh produce for dinner or a snack. However, after spending all that time and work putting in a garden, to then go out and see that it's gone because a deer has come through, is heart-wrenching.
How to keep deer out of garden? That has been the ultimate question for decades within my family. When I was younger I would watch my dad get up early in the morning with a shot gun for noise to keep watch over our garden plot. Then in the evenings he would make sure that we played ball outside until it got dark, just so that we'd make enough noise to keep the deer away. However, try as we might they would always sneak in and eat our growing plants.
Then one year my dad got the idea that a fence was the best solution. So, he got all the materials and spent the good part of a month digging holes and putting up a fence. Now the first fence was six feet tall, thinking that nothing could come through. However, soon after it was finished my dad learned that deer like to jump. So, the next year he increased the size to ten feet, but still they got over. Then came netting over the top of the ten foot fence thinking this would be the ultimate protection. However, don't ask me how, but they still managed to get in. The deer still had him beat.
As I got older, moved away, and began plotting my own garden experience, I started to question the best natural pest control out there. Noise didn't seem to help nor did fences. So, what would? I started my search. I went to garden sites and garden clubs, read every garden book that I could get my hands on, and even took extension courses through the college about gardening. And from all that research I learned that deer are very sensitive to smells and tastes. They'll leave the garlic alone but will eat the lettuce. If you put strong smelling scents on or around your plants the deer will stay away.
Now, to find the right mixture of elements that will do the trick, and to find something that won't wash off whenever it rains. Then my focus can go to enjoying my garden rather than worrying about it being destroyed.
