If you missed yesterday's postings, they went up quite late but can be found below: We've got a new Think Again column called "White Open Spaces, Owned by Us," and I wrote a short appreciation of Paul Newman for The Guardian, which you can find here. Also, I've got a new Nation column, "Reality Bites," here.
Rampant, like herpes, but positive.
Uncut Magazine: "Who will you be voting for in November?"
Brian Wilson: "McCain. John McCain. He has a good smile."
This post brings a stunning historical perspective to the present American economic meltdown. If there's a bright side to it, writes Steve Fraser, then maybe it's that, after 50 years of relative immunity from criticism, Wall Street is again the street Americans love to hate. Right now, Fraser, a TomDispatch regular, is everyone's expert on Wall Street's grim history and author of the indispensable book Wall Street: America's Dream Palace. (He was on Fresh Air yesterday afternoon.)
He begins his latest piece this way: "Wall Street sits at the eye of a political hurricane. Its enemies converge from every point on the compass. What a stunning turn of events. For well more than half a century Wall Street has enjoyed a remarkable political immunity, but matters were not always like that. Now, with history marching forward in seven league boots, we are about to revisit a time when the Street functioned as the country's lightning rod, attracting its deepest animosities and most passionate desires for economic justice and democracy."
Few today remember that Wall Street, for populists, anti-monopolists, everyone living on what the press now calls "Main Street," was the "Great Satan" until, after the crash of 1929, in the midst of the Great Depression, it was brought to heel by Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and became politically invisible until almost this very second.
This is a moment of profound change and in it, as Fraser makes so clear, Wall Street's position in American politics and consciousness has just changed drastically. As he concludes: "Many will seek retribution as well, just as Americans used to do in the decades before the Great Depression. How could they not? That's what happens when simple rage turns into moral outrage, when people are finally called to account for the damage they've done. The emotion fuels a chemical reaction even now at work in our cultural innards. It may prove the catalyst for an intellectual and emotional explosion that someday will add up to a genuine break with the past. It did so back in 1929."

Hey Doc:
"He's a drifter, and a driller of oil wells/He's an old school man of the world/He taught me how to drive his car when he's too drunk to."
Weekly WWOZ Pick To Click: "Sun Up, Sun Down" (Jealous Monk) - Even though the egregious Supreme Court decision called Plessy v. Ferguson originated on one of its streetcars -- a decision that is not Roe v. Wade with which I disagree, Katie -- I nonetheless love New Orleans.
Short Takes:
Part The First: I know that MSNBC is starting to get a little itchy about the Olbermann-Maddow Fortress Of Liberaltude, but would somebody like to explain what in the name of pole-vaulting Jesus Tom DeLay was doing on Hardball the other night? Was it Take A Crook To Work Day? Folks, this greasy little homunculus is under indictment. Right now. Today. At least Gordon Liddy had to serve his time before the electronic media redeemed his ass.
Part The Second: Hey Jay Carney, I think it's time for you to send Josh Marshall a nice fruit basket or something.
Part The Third: All of them? Hell, the porn alone must take most of the week. I'd hate to be the mailman in Wasilla.
Part The Fourth: You have garnished your salad with things that are smarter than this post. Now that I think about it, you have fed to your fish that which is smarter than this column. Is it too much for Little Lulu to use the Google to mention that Gwen Ifill is dinner buddies with noted liberal activist Condoleezza Rice? Of course, on the brighter side, it does enable us once again to make gratuitous use of this.
Part The Fifth: Eight more milligrams and maybe we'd have been spared this. I swear, Naomi Klein's going to come after him with an ax.
Part The Sixth: Biggest Knob In Knoxville Update: Who's ahead? This guy or this guy.
Part The Seventh: Bill Maher regularly provides a valuable voice to the scene. However, get him on religion, and the guy turns into just another Ivy League snob. "Questions nobody asks"? Are you kidding? OK, you don't believe in God and you date strippers. What a freaking renegade! That said, young Ms. Hasselbeck can grow up now, please.
Part The Eighth: Great news in the blogosphere, as people who really deserve it again find themselves one-timed through the Five hole! Bienvenue back again, young feller. We need a lengthy deconstruction of the wonder that is this guy, like, stat.
Part The Ninth: If I'm keeping track correctly, just this week, I heard the great Ralph Stanley cut a radio ad for Barack Obama, and a new tune called "O-B-A-M-A" by funkmaster Zigaboo Modeliste. Now that's cool.
Part The Last: Mo, sweetie, your personal inconvenience doesn't rise to a constitutional issue. Jeebus Christmas, woman, make your own damn reservations.
Over the past week, it was distressing in the extreme to see what my business has become. For several days, it was made increasingly apparent that the Republican Party has nominated for vice-president a person who is manifestly unqualified to teach middle-school history. (Hint: the default answer, always, is, "Dred Scott v. Sanford, Katie." The Civil War was, like, a bad thing.) And yet, through the entire run-up to the debate, it was argued by serious people who analyze serious politics and make a serious living doing it that Sarah Palin could reveal herself to be non-dim by putting on the correct puppet show for the media in her debate against Joe Biden. Make no mistake. That's what the punditocracy was arguing. Give us a reason, please, not to have to write what we all know to be true, what has been self-evidently true to the entire country since you walked off the podium in St. Paul. No rational person can possibly believe that she got smarter, or better informed, or more curious in the time that elapsed between when she talked with Ms. Couric and last night's debate. What we were being asked to judge was purely how well she had refined her performance skills in the interim. None of what the Walking Dead on the cable shows were looking to see has the slightest thing to do with her fitness for the office she seeks, let alone the office that might descend upon her. Journalists should not be in the business of perception-is-reality. It is our job to hammer the reality until the perception conforms to it. Hell, even Katie Couric's pretty much figured that out. Any postgame analysis that doesn't reflect this principle is not worth talking about.

The AP fact check on AOL is a total joke. Of course, it is a textbook case of on-the-one-handism but most of the Biden "errors" are -- well, calling it a stretch really doesn't do it justice.
BIDEN: Warned that Republican presidential candidate John McCain's $5,000 tax credit to help families buy health coverage "will go straight to the insurance company."
THE FACTS: Of course it would, because it's meant to pay for insurance. That's like saying money for a car loan will go straight to the car dealer.
So ... if he's right, why are they calling him out?
BIDEN: Said McCain supports tax breaks for oil companies, and "wants to give them another $4 billion tax cut."
THE FACTS: Biden is repeating a favorite saw of the Obama campaign, and it's misleading. McCain supports a cut in income taxes for all corporations, and doesn't single out any one industry for that benefit.
Again, are they getting the tax break under McCain's plan or not. There is no refutation of his claim.
BIDEN: "As a matter of fact, John recently wrote an article in a major magazine saying that he wants to do for the health care industry -- deregulate it and let the free market move -- like he did for the banking industry."
THE FACTS: Biden and Obama have been perpetuating this distortion of what McCain wrote in an article for the American Academy of Actuaries. McCain, laying out his health plan, only referred to deregulation when saying people should be allowed to buy health insurance across state lines. In that context, he wrote: "Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation."
Ummmm ... ? What do they think deregulation is? I'll bet proponents said the same thing about financial industry deregulation when they were pushing those bills.

Dr. Alterman --
As far as the Mets are concerned, I stand with my team (well, most of the team. There are certain pitchers who I hope will go for a cruise. A very long cruise). I am counting the days until spring training and the opening of CitiField.
As far as Mr. Newman is concerned, we were all truly fortunate that we lived in the same time as a very great man like him. For all of the wonderful eulogies that he has received over the last few days, I'm not sure that he was appreciated enough.

Hi Eric,
I am surprised by how many significant media policies are in play in these waning days of the current FCC and Congress. As usual, most of it is technical and inside ball, but I'll give you a quick summary of what's happening.
More than 60,000 Free Press members sent letters to the city of St. Paul during the RNC demanding that charges be dropped against Amy Goodman and dozens of other journalists arrested covering the convention. We staged a press conference the day after the convention, and as you've probably heard, all charges were eventually dropped. Public and grasstops pressure definitely moved the ball.
The Resolution of Disapproval -- the congressional vote that would reverse the Dec. 2007 FCC vote to allow cross ownership of newspapers and broadcasters -- has died in the House, after the Senate had passed it by wide margins. While this is disappointing, the measure would have surely been vetoed by the president, and the rule is tied up in the courts now, which buys us time.
In a major -- and wonky -- victory, Congress overwhelmingly passed the "Broadband Data Improvement Act," a bill that would close the current gaps in data on the availability, speed and value of U.S. broadband. We have been pressuring Congress and the FCC since 2005 -- producing two subsequent studies, successfully lobbying for the bill's introduction and finally testifying in support of the bill in front of key congressional committees. The information collected will lay the foundation for policies in the next Congress to promote universal, affordable high-speed Internet access for all Americans -- the key goal of our Internet for Everyone initiative.
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin will likely leave the agency in January, and he is making some interesting moves to further improve his legacy. He has indicated support for some key policy "gets": allocation of unlicensed "white spaces" -- chunks of the broadcast spectrum that can be used to create cheap wireless "clouds of Internet connectivity"; redirection of the "Universal Service Fund" from funding phone build out to broadband build out; and taking the first steps in applying Net Neutrality not just to wireline broadband (cable & DSL), but also wireless Internet, like cell phones and all other wireless systems. This means intense negotiations between now and December.
Like always, while these issues are wonky, they remain hugely important for the future of journalism, the Internet and virtually all media.

In 2010, erectile we saw Samsung launching yet another iPad-killer tablet in the form of 7-inch Galaxy Tab. However, viagra 40mg fast forward to MWC2011, asthma Samsung is singing entirely different tune. During a briefing at MWC in Barcelona, the Korean company's executive vice president Dr. WP Hong enlightened us that a 7-inch device could not be considered a tablet. We are getting a déjà vu feeling. Right, now we remember a certain turtleneck wearing gentleman claiming 7-inch tablets to be 'dead on arrival'.
The company executive further elaborated that Samsung would be launching a portfolio of tablets in 2011. While he refused to divulge any details about the upcoming tablets, he made it very clear that none of them is going to be 7-incher. Interestingly, He claimed that "10.1 inch" is the best size for a tablet. Dr. Hong also alluded that he sees future smartphones getting bigger and bigger display. This sounds wonderful, we just cannot wait to sashay down the road with a 5 inch brick aka smartphone attached to the side of our face. So, what is your view on 7-inch tablets and 5-inch phones?

Throughout the history, people had invented different kinds of gambling, and football betting nowadays is one of the most remarkable parts in the gambling industry. A lot of web sites as well as many online casinos offer football betting tips to individuals who are willing to learn all of the basics of soccer games betting strategies. Generally speaking, it has become much easier for people to participate in football betting online as the internet today is available for everyone. You can also use the services of the Wild Jack Mobile Casino and try yourself at this type of gambling. Gamblers are highly recommended to search for the best football betting, and in this case they can be sure that they will get their prizes once they win. In general, in order to place a wager people should not depend purely on luck, they must understand the football soccer games in a professional way and the strength of every football team participating in the championship. Once the gamblers study the teams and which players are involved in the game and what strategies certain coaches are going to apply in the playing field, the bettors can make better decisions and more accurate football betting predictions. In the banking section of the Wild Jack Mobile Casino players can review which of the deposit options offered best suits their requirements, including Paysafecard, Ukash, Neteller, Click2Pay and a number of others to use in order to place bets on their mobile roulette for real money games.
Thousands of people relish betting on many games and specifically football, but a lot of bettors lose their money in the long run since they do not have any expertise concerning the football game. Some fraudulent web sites on the internet promise winning systems and specific future predictions once applied or implemented accurately, gamblers will guarantee their wins. Gamblers should be careful of such sites and have to avoid them whatever they can as gambling in general is dependant on chance and there are no such so-called winning techniques. People can wager on many types of sports such as basketball,tennis, rugby and baseball, but football betting is still one of the most popular forms of sports gambling. Football is a game which is played on a field with specific dimensions, between two teams each of them consists of eleven players. Some standard ball is involved and the teams have to compete against each other in order to get the ball in the opponent team's net and accordingly a goal will be scored.
It is very important for every gambler to observe his or her favourite team very closely as well as they must have updated information about the players' health and conditions, their training staff etc, besides, beginners who want to try football betting and do not know anything about the game, are highly recommended to learn the fundamental rules are followed during any football match. There are several types of wagers such as the straight bets, parlays, and the proposition bets. in the case of parlays, the bettor, who is usually an expert in the game, makes multiple bets at the same time, and in order to not lose this parlay the gambler must win all the bets included. A lot of professionals choose parlay bets as the payout is usually very high. In the case of propostion wagers, people must bet on specific results and this means that gamblers must guess the number of goals which are going to be scored by both competing teams.

Box Score
SALINA, Kan. (12-28-11) – Northwestern Oklahoma State University men's basketball team got back on track in their first game of the second half of the season as they blowout Kansas Wesleyan on the road, 103-67.
It was the first road win of the season for the Rangers after dropping their first six games away from their home gym.
For the first time since the 2008 season, the Rangers finished about 60 percent shooting as they converted 33-of-54 shots for 61 percent.
The contest was full of highs as the Rangers tied a school record for rebounds in a game with 54, a mark that has been reached twice before against now defunct Phillips University in 1990 and '93. Seniors Thiago Guilherme and Jeremy Felton each pulled down 15 and 13 boards, respectively, both career highs at Northwestern.
Guilherme finished with a game high of 20 points, while teammate Marshall Bell came in behind him with 17. Eze Akwari ended with a career high of 13 points, and Andrew McNabb had his largest output in his short time as a Ranger with 11.
Northwestern (5-6, 2-2) returns to conference play on New Year's Eve in Alva as they host Mid-America Christian at 5 p.m. The women's programs of the two schools will kick action off at 3 p.m. inside Percefull Fieldhouse.
Admission is free for all in attendance, with doors opening approximately an hour and a half prior to tip.
In the New Year's Eve contest, Bell, a junior from Katy, Texas, will need just 10 points to enter the coveted 1,000-point club. He is also pursuing the Northwestern career record for three-pointers made, currently sitting at 209, just 10 shy record held by Ramon Byndom (1998-2000).
Against KWU, Guilherme set the tone early for the Rangers, knocking down a three-pointer in their first possession. The two squads went back and fourth, and with the Rangers down 16-15 with 12:55, Akwari hit a three-point basket of his own to help the Rangers regain the lead.
With a tie ballgame at 22 at the 9:20 mark of the first half, the sixth tie of the afternoon, Bell triggered Ranger run with a shot from behind the arc. Northwestern closed out the half by outscoring the Coyotes, 24-11, entering the locker room with a comfortable lead, 46-33.
During the second stanza, Northwestern continued to gradually build their lead, extending it to a 40-point deficit at 100-60 with just over a minute to go with an easy two-point basket by Jesse Smith.
Tyler Inman closed out the scoring a three-point basket.
Other Rangers scoring in double-figures was Felton with 13 to complete a double-double, and fellow big man Jonathan Freemyer with 13 as well.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

the bent of her soul. The deeply lined face, the too marked
and massive features, were united with an air of delicate
refinement, which in one way was the more impressive,
because it seemed to proceed so entirely from within. Nay,
the inward beauty would sometimes quite transform the
outward harshness; there would be moments when the thin
hands that entwined themselves in their eagerness, the
earnest figure that bowed forward to speak and hear, the
deep gaze moving from one face to another with a grave

No. There is no human medicine or other OTC meds that would be safe for him. Most would be deadly. As long as he is eating and drinking fine, I would not be too worried but if his eyes appear to be gunky or the "sniffles" turns into an infection or if he stops eating and drinking, please call the vet.

For the first time Apple's once-unstoppable iPhone has some serious competition. Samsung's Galaxy S3 is the first smartphone outside the iPhone to break the control of wireless carriers and be released simultaneously on all four major U.S. carriers, and U.S. Cellular. It has even sold more than 20 million units in its first 100 days of availability, an unheard of number outside of the iPhone. It's one of the best examples of what Google's Android operating system has to offer.
So which phone do you think is the winner?
(Source Via: William Shanklin GizMag)
Say what you will about Samsung's originality, but its devices are beloved by millions. The Galaxy S III has an expansive surface, but measures thinner than the previous two iPhones.
The iPhone 5, meanwhile, is Apple's first redesigned handset in over two years. It's longer than the iPhone 4/4S (by 8.6mm), but maintains the same width. At 7.6mm thick, the iPhone 5 is also one of the thinnest smartphones around (the Droid Razr measures at 7.1mm, but it has a protruding hump).
The iPhone 5 is light. Though the iPhone 4/4S was far from a hulking monstrosity, the new model is 28 grams lighter. Part of this is due to its thinner design (and internal components), but its aluminum backing is the biggest reason. The past two iPhones had glass backs, which naturally added some heft.
Though it may feel heavy next to the iPhone 5, you can do much worse than the Galaxy S III. Despite sporting a monstrous display and a wider build than Apple's latest, it's still a relatively light smartphone.
The iPhone 5 offers the first change in screen size since Apple entered the industry in 2007, boosting the iPhone display from 3.5 to 4 inches. Rather than adding a huge screen with the same 3:2 aspect ratio, though, Tim Cook & company lengthened it. It shifts to a narrower 16:9 aspect ratio: larger, but you can still reach your thumb across the screen.
The Galaxy S III, meanwhile, has a display that is both longer and wider than the iPhone's. If you aren't concerned with thumb reach, the S3 offers significantly more screen real estate.
Size isn't everything though. Apple is promising 44 percent greater color saturation over the iPhone 4/4S. The touch-sensing electrodes are also nearer to the display's surface, moving one step closer to the illusion of ink on paper.
Remember when I said specs weren't everything? These chips are great examples. On paper, the processors in both versions (North America and international) of the Galaxy S III are superior - faster clock speed and an equal or greater number of cores. But early tests reveal that Apple's custom A6 SoC is a beast, breaking records in Geekbench and Sunspider benchmarks.
Unsurprisingly, the A6's closest rival in those tests has been the Galaxy S III. Both editions of the handset deliver some of the best smartphone performance you'll see in 2012 ... but they may not match the wicked speed of the iPhone 5.
Another big factor in performance, RAM is evenly matched at 1GB in the iPhone 5 and the global Galaxy S III. The US/Canada S3, meanwhile, doubles the memory with a whopping 2GB.
Here's another closely-matched category. The 64GB version of Samsung's flagship launches soon, and the only other difference is the microSD card slot that it (and most Android phones) offer.
As always, more flash memory means you're spending more money.
After a long reign of LTE-equipped Android phones, Apple has now given us an iPhone with "true 4G." Those who live in an area with available coverage will see cellular data speeds that are faster than many home broadband connections.
The Galaxy S III also supports LTE, like most high-end Android phones from the last year or so.
The biggest reason for Apple taking its sweet time delivering LTE? It took a while to get battery life up to snuff. Early LTE phones like the HTC Thunderbolt and Motorola Droid Bionic sometimes struggled to last a few hours. We finally saw an LTE phone with great battery life in the Droid Razr Maxx, and the Galaxy S III is no slouch either. It should last a full day for most users.
We've yet to put an iPhone 5 through the paces, but Apple promises better battery life than the iPhone 4S, even while on LTE. Early reviews suggest that it lives up to this promise, but we'll update after getting our hands on one.
You can't go wrong with either camera. At least before the iPhone 5, many valued the S3's shooter as the best on the market. Despite many similarities to the 4S' camera, Apple is promising key improvements over its predecessor - including better low-light shooting.
Apple is highlighting a new panorama shooting feature in iOS 6 (exclusive to the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5). Though it offers Apple's customary polish and attention to detail, there are already several quality third-party panorama apps on both iOS and Android, and a similar stock panorama feature on the S3.

Complaining about one's boss on Facebook might not constitute a legal reason for termination, the National Labor Relations Board argues in a complaint filed October 27.
Actually, only part of the complaint directly concerns communications on Facebook. But still, the development is really cool for free speech and employee rights. The coolest part is that the independent federal agency is suing American Medical Response of Connecticut, Inc. for having an overly broad blogging and online posting policy, which appears to be the same type of rule lots of employers have been embracing lately.
If the NLRB wins this lawsuit, this could become a first step toward Facebook actually becoming a place where unfair employment practices could get called out. Here's the independent federal agency's synopsis of what has happened so far:
When asked by her supervisor to prepare an investigative report concerning a customer complaint about her work, the employee requested and was denied representation from her union, Teamsters Local 443. Later that day from her home computer, the employee posted a negative remark about the supervisor on her personal Facebook page, which drew supportive responses from her co-workers, and led to further negative comments about the supervisor from the employee. The employee was suspended and later terminated for her Facebook postings and because such postings violated the company's internet policies.
An NLRB investigation found that the employee's Facebook postings constituted protected concerted activity, and that the company's blogging and internet posting policy contained unlawful provisions, including one that prohibited employees from making disparaging remarks when discussing the company or supervisors and another that prohibited employees from depicting the company in any way over the internet without company permission. Such provisions constitute interference with employees in the exercise of their right to engage in protected concerted activity. A hearing on the case is scheduled for January 25, 2011.
The NLRB release doesn't clarify whether the hearing is an informal one, or the actual case opening before a judge. Courtrooms often have really long waiting lists for cases to reach the floor, so I suspect the event scheduled for January is some form of preliminary. But if that hearing prompts the case to settle out of court, then the wrongfully terminated employee gets relief that much sooner.
Not surprisingly, American Medical Response disagreed with the NLRB charges in a prepared statement given to the New York Times.
Although the NLRB's press release made it sound as if the employee was discharged solely due to negative comments posted on Facebook, the termination decision was actually based on multiple, serious issues. AMR takes seriously its obligations to the community to provide high quality emergency medical care. In this case, we believe the facts will prove that this was an employee who failed to meet the important standards necessary for us to provide this service to the community.
Even if "multiple, serious issues" get enough substantiation for the defense to win, this case still marks the first time NLRB has taken up freedom of speech on Facebook. Very likely, the agency could take up additional cases like this in the future.

Debt Decisions
Considering your options
When considering which option is best for you ask yourself:
- Does it free you (when completed) from all or part of your debts so that your creditors will have no further claim against you?
- Is it binding on all your creditors? In other words, does it protect you from further recovery action or extra charges (or both) by your creditors during the procedure?
- How long will it last?
- Will it affect your employment?
- Will it affect your credit rating?
- Will your home be at risk?
If you have to pay a fee, it may come out of payments you make to your creditors, or you may have to pay it separately, before or after the option you choose is put in place. Some of the options will involve you putting certain types of debt (called 'priority debts') before others.
It may be difficult or impossible to negotiate reduced payments or write-offs for the other debts. Priority debts are, for example, utilities, rent, court fines, council tax, maintenance payments and income tax.
Are you confident you can keep up the repayments to your creditors, for the time required, under the option you are considering?
Whatever option you choose
Whatever option your choose, the following points apply:
None of the options can affect the rights of secured creditors, for example a bank or building society that has a mortgage or legal charge* over your home. They continue to have the right to take possession of your home if you don't keep up your payments.
Most debts involving credit and loans are unsecured, for example, credit and store cards and bank overdrafts. This means that if you don't pay the debt, the creditor is not automatically entitled to take something of yours, such as your home.
However, in some circumstances they may go to court if you fall behind with your payments. If they then get a court judgement, they may be able to ask the court to secure the debt on your home through a charging order.
All these options may affect your credit rating and will show up on your credit record. Using any of the options to help with your debt may occasionally affect your employment.
Under the terms of your employment, you may have to inform your employer about it. In some circumstances, you may be able to get help from a charity or trust fund to pay off some types of urgent debt.
However, this is unlikely to be the answer to the whole problem – charities are unlikely to help with large credit-card and similar debts. To get this kind of help, you will normally have to fill in a detailed application form or find an advice agency to apply for you.
*Having a charge on your home means that if you don't repay the debt, the creditor has a claim on the proceeds if the property is sold.
What is your best option?
The best option for you will depend on your own and your family's circumstances and future prospects, and on your own preferences.
What you decide to do will also depend on how much you owe and how much you can repay from your income or your assets, after paying your own and your family's basic expenses. Be prepared to give all the details of your debts and your finances to The Debt Counsellors.
Our service is completely confidential and impartial and will not be shared with anyone without your written authority to do so. It is essential you give us the complete picture so we can give you the best advice we can.
When making any offer to your creditors, be realistic about your income and spending.

Location: Water Management and Systems ResearchTitle: Detecting and Confirming Accelerated Atrazine Degradation in Illinois Soils Author
|Shaner, Dale
|Hager, Aaron
Submitted to: Weed Technology
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 6/8/2013
Publication Date: 6/1/2014
Citation: Shaner, D.L., Hager, A. 2014. Detecting and Confirming Accelerated Atrazine Degradation in Illinois Soils. Weed Technology. Vol. 28, No. 2, pp. 432-434. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1614/WT-D-13-00108.1. Interpretive Summary: Atrazine is widely used to control weeds in corn, sorghum and sugarcane. Farmers depend on atrazine to provide residual activity for several weeks. However, after multiple years of use the soil microbes can adapt and begin to degrade atrazine very quickly so that the residual control can decrease from 6 to 8 weeks down to 3 to 4 weeks. This phenomenon has been found throughout the U.S., but it has not been documented in the field in Illinois, a major corn producing state. This research shows that a simple lab assay can accurately detect enhanced atrazine degradation in fields that have a history of atrazine use. We also found that soil microbes can adapt to the application of atrazine within a growing season. These results mean that farmers should be aware that enhanced atrazine degradation occurs in Illinois and that they will not get the expected length of residual weed control in fields where atrazine has been used for multiple years.
Technical Abstract: Technical abstract: Enhanced degradation of atrazine has been documented in many parts of the world where the herbicide has been extensively used. Atrazine is widely used in corn in Illinois, but enhanced degradation in the field has not been documented. In this study, the dissipation of atrazine was measured in three fields. Two of the fields (URB-1 and URB-2) had not been treated with atrazine for three and four years, respectively whereas the third field (ORR-1) had received annual applications of atrazine for nine years. A laboratory assay conducted on soil collected from these fields prior to atrazine application indicated that soil from ORR-1 had enhanced atrazine degradation (half life (DT50) 2 d). Soil from Fields ORR-1 and URB-2 degraded atrazine much slower (DT50 was 13.4 and 6.1d, respectively). The rates of atrazine degradation in the field, were similar to those measured in the laboratory. The DT50s were 2.4, 8.4, and 12.6 d for ORR-1, URB-2 and URB-1, respectively. Testing the soils collected from the fields at the last sampling time showed that all of them had enhanced atrazine degradation, suggesting that the soil microbial populations had adapted to the presence of atrazine in the field.

Pre-Qualifying Rounds Begin At BNP Paribas Open
Indian Wells tennis Garden Coming Alive With Tennis
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. - A prequalifying tournament that will give anyone the opportunity to earn entry into the BNP Paribas Open field begins today.
Between the men and women, the prequalifying tournament includes a record 145 entries, according to tournament director Steve Simon.
Action in the first round of the five-round event starts at 9 a.m. on the women's side at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Men begin play at 10:30 a.m. in an event that lasts through Sunday.
One singles winner in each bracket will earn a spot into the qualifying tournament, which runs March 7-9. Once there, they will have the opportunity to fight their way into the main draw.
Mark Philippoussis, who once attained a No. 8 world ranking, was expected to be an opponent in the qualifying tournament, but he has pulled out of the event, ESPN reported Tuesday. Rather than play in the Coachella Valley, Philippoussis will compete next week in tournament in Switzerland.
Nearly all of the top players on the men's and women's tours will take part in the Paribas Open, including No. 1 Rafael Nadal and No. 2 Roger Federer. On the women's side, No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, No. 2 Kim Clijsters and No. 3 Vera Zvonareva will compete.

It may not miss out on many wireless doodads, but the cost-cutting measures of the Nokia Lumia 620 are clear in its screen specs. There's no problem with the screen's relatively diminutive 3.8-inch size, but its resolution of 800 x 480 does seem very basic in 2013. To put this into some context, top-end phones of this year like the Samsung Galaxy S4 will offer more than five times the number of pixels.
Technologically the Nokia Lumia 620 screen may appear dated, but in person its image quality is great. This is down to combination of factors, with Nokia's ClearBlack "technology" at the forefront. In more expensive Lumia phones, ClearBlack essentially means using a high-quality OLED screen. Here, though, a more traditional LCD panel is used. The ClearBlack instead seems to refer to the use of a reflection-reducing polarisation filter and, quite simply, a high-quality screen panel.
Colours are vivid but natural-looking, contrast is excellent for such an affordable phone and top brightness is searingly-bright when required.
Windows Phone 8 doesn't give you as much control over the backlight's brightness as, say, an iPhone or Android mobile. There's an ambient light sensor (again, occasionally missing from low-cost phones) that can set brightness automatically, or you can set it to "low", "medium" or "high". It's far less flexible than a good old brightness slider.
The pixel paucity is also mitigated by the visual optimisation of Windows Phone 8. Text rendering throughout the system's interface is carefully managed, ensuring that there's never a jaggedy edge to be seen. Where you will start to notice the lower resolution is in the web browser, and third-party apps and games.
The Windows Phone 8 software that's at the heart of the Nokia Lumia 620 feels positively luxurious in a budget phone like this. Android has come a long way in its last few iterations, but cheaper Android phones are too often spoiled, visually or performance-wise, by poorly-executed custom user interfaces.
As Windows Phone doesn't allow manufacturers to fiddle with the core software in any dramatic way, there's no such nonsense here. The Nokia Lumia 620 flies along, with barely any lag whatsoever - aside from unavoidable pauses during app loading.
Its dual-core 1GHz Snapdragon S4 and 512MB of RAM are, like the phone's screen resolution, far from cutting edge. But they're more than enough to make Windows Phone 8 run beaitifully. Let's not forget, the last generation's flagship Lumia 800 used a far less powerful single-core processor.
Windows Phone 8 adds features and flexibility not seen in Windows Phone 7, but the basic structure of the system hasn't changed. There's a scrolling home screen that you populate with Live Tiles that either occupy a quarter the width of the screen, half of it or the whole thing. One of the new features of Windows Phone 8 is being able to use these smaller quarter-width icons.
Flick right-to-left from this screen and you're taken to the full apps menu, which arranges all your apps – bar games – into a simple list.
Windows Phone 8 is a fairly fully-featured OS. It lets you share your mobile internet connection as a Wi-Fi hotspot, can be set to automatically backup your data to SkyDrive, Microsoft's Cloud storage solution, and offers full integration of social networks like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn as well as all the most popular email providers.
All this information is then weaved-into the Nokia Lumia 620's People hub. In other phones, this might simply hold your contacts, but in Windows Phone 8 it's where you go for all your social updates. However, you can also install separate Facebook and Twitter apps if the People hub is too crowded for your liking.
Windows Phone 8's Kid's Corner is a newer addition. It lets you setup a kid-friendly area on your phone, where you can ban access to things like email clients and violent games. Sensibly, Microsoft has kept this feature hidden in the Settings menu, to stop it from cluttering up the phones of singletons.
One of the best features of the Nokia Lumia 620 is a Nokia staple, though. Nokia Maps is a great mapping and GPS solution that offers a fantastic USP – being able to download maps for use offline, for free. You don't have to be in the area of the map to download it, either. Just rifle through the Settings menu and you can pick whole zones to grab.
England weighs-in at 238MB, for example. This doesn't include satellite views, which are available from within the app on the fly, but for those looking for a map that won't cost them roaming data to access, Nokia Maps is about the best you can get without paying. It works well as an in-car GPS too, using Nokia Drive. Again, this can use pre-downloaded maps to save you a fortune in roaming fees while tearing down a German autobahn.
A slightly more frivolous use of location data is seen in Nokia City Lens. This is an augmented reality app that uses the Nokia Lumia 620's camera to give you a view of the world overlaid with local restaurants, hotels, transport links and attractions. Never will you look more touristy and mug-able than looking at the world through a phone, but it's a fun diversion nevertheless.
If Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 has a key app-based USP, it has to be Office integration. In the dedicated Office app, you can create Excel spreadsheets and Word documents, as well as edit Powerpoint presentations. Naturally, it's all linked up to Microsoft's SkyDrive Cloud storage solution. Embrace SkyDrive and you'll have a pretty nifty way to read and edit your work documents on-the-go.
Like almost all Windows Phone 8 apps, Microsoft Office is laid out in the house style too, never cramming too much information into a page. It's not as flexible or powerful as a "full" version of Office, but it's highly usable, and that's the main thing.
For all your other app needs, you'll have to take a trip down to the Windows Store. This is the umbrella under which you'll find Windows Phone 8's apps, games and music portals.
It's also where we stumble upon what is probably the Nokia Lumia 620's greatest problem. Although Windows Phone 8 has gained most of the apps found in the previous Windows Phone 7 platform, the selection is far more limited than what you'll find in an Android phone or iPhone. Microsoft claims there's an impressive-sounding 120,000 apps aboard, but app fans will soon find holes in its app selection.
On the positive side, pricing of Windows apps seems to be improving, with the bottom-rung price of 79p now inhabited by many games that used to cost well over a pound previously.
The relatively limited selection is a particular shame for games, as the Nokia Lumia 620 offers solid integration with Xbox Live, the online service for Xbox 360. You can earn Xbox Live achievement points through games that have been Xbox-certified. These games live in a separate "Xbox" area within the Windows games store, and generally offer the best gaming experiences available on Windows Phone.
At the time of writing there were 135 of these titles. It's enough to keep you busy for a while, but it's a very small selection. And we found that a couple were disappointingly crash-happy, given the amount of certification that's meant to have taken place.

The pink, red, green and purple colour scheme is so tasteful.
Come to think of it the silly little screen makes it look like a child's toy anyway, so why not have a kindergarten paintbox for a colour scheme - it makes perfect sense now.
Excellent review. Excellent phone for someone young - or at least young at heart?
The Nokia comeback continues, but I think I'll go for the Xperia Z, although I am tempted to wait for the rumoured EOS as the camera is so good and the Nokia apps are excellent (maps, radio etc.)
If this had been available before Christmas I probably would have got one over the Ace 2, but like all NokSoft stuff it just seems a little too late to the party.
you are the best person to tell us what retard scheme looks like?
Not everyone has mega cash to spend on large screen phones, in any case why would you want a phone the size of texas, needs two hands to operate and drops your pants everytime you walk a LITTLE bit fast? Also, more colours = more suited taste for more people, its called expanding your market and increasing customers, something i suspect someone as idiotic as you would have no idea about.
i am waiting for it.......friends shall i get this mobile..... hoe it is just tell me
I want a phone that will ring and vibrate for the duration of the ring so I can receive a call. The 620 is the same as the 710, Nokia have learned nothing. Where is the dustbin?
I want a phone that will vibrate for the duration of the ringing when set on ring and vibrate.
The 620, I am advised is a repeat of the 710. Also the font size of the numbers is too small as is the 710. Where is the dustbin Nokia you have not listened to past complaints?
The font size of Windows Phone 8 can be adjusted. Oh, you didn't know? You shouldn't comment without searching.
I went into o2 and they said that the font size of the numbers in contacts are fixed as on the 710. I will try and confirm with another visit. Have you any comments re the ringing and vibrate at the same time on the 620. I will ask about that again. I have another complaint about the 710, no drafts folder when texting, perhaps that is available with Windows 8. I am a Nokia fan, I have never had a problem with any of their products, just dissapointed with Windows 7.5.
Works fine for me. I have the 620 and quite possibly the best phone I've ever had. The text size is changeable; yes, even for contacts and numbers. No issue at all. Look, if you look for problems, you'll find them. My wife has an iPhone, and we have an iPad. Both have problems - the iPad has serious problems. I wouldn't touch an Apple device with a barge-pole. Android is just a mess, and has WAY too much slow down.
I own a Galaxy S3 and agree(not with you btw) that there are people who don't want a huge phone, i class mine as that. One that you worry about breaking when its in your jeans pocket and you sit down, incase it flexes and cracks. I listen alot to music through my earphones during the day at work so the phone has to be in my pocket and its annoying having to carefully position it in my trouser pocket to minimise any stress on it and the 3.5mm jack coming out the top. Phones in my eyes have gone past the point of appeal in their size. Big is not best, useability and function is. This is why i'm thinking about this Nokia Lumia 620, it has alot of pro's, tethering is a big one for me, as is overall size(height and width). And i use my phone alot, music, browsing etc, social apps(twitter) and ebay/amazon etc. Quit with the fanboy attitude and add something useful kupfernigk, no-ones here to read lame comments.

I just bought one on payg on Vodafone for £129.99 plus £10 top up from Carphonewarehouse yesterday. I'm selling my Samsung Galaxy S3, lol. Its just too big and as amazing as it is, its not really suited to what i use a phone for and my work environment.
I've had the Lumia 620 a whole 24hrs now so i can shed a little light on it coming from a top level Android phone.
Took a few hours to set up everything, my accounts, twitter, ebay, emails, facebook and so on. Wifi was simply search, enter password and connected, and has been 100% solid in use(i think it switches off when screen closes and comes on when phone is unlocked). The Nokia Store has everything i need for now, WhatsApp, Twitter, Amazon, Battery monitor, Netflix, TV Catchup, Weather channel, Angry Birds, Flashlight, Ringtone makers, Skype, Speedtest, TuneIn Radio, You Tube, Wiki etc are all on there. With regards to typing, the keyboard(despite looking a bit cramped width-wise) has been very accurate, way more than the gs3 was.
Camera is good old nokia, solid, reliable feel, easy to use, capture shot sound is not intrusive tho screenshot sound is excessively loud!
Internet is good so far too. The only silly small problems i'm having is knowing how to do stuff like setting background for your photo app, and basically knowing where to look for certain things in the Settings etc. Stuff you will always get and eventually learn with a new phone.
Used the Nokia Drive sat nav too, DL'd the whole of UK and various voices and use it in offline mode is brilliant, no data charges anymore! Works fantastically too! So too is the Nokia Music, same thing, DL it over wifi, store up to 4 mixes for free or pay a small fee to allow more to be stored offline at any one time(new release pop, dance chart, most played dance or new releases etc) all for offline use. And the speaker is very good!
Battery dropped 2% in 6 1/2hrs during the night(remember i think wifi is turned off when screen is locked and i have turned off data connection 3g/2g so no data transfer is happening). Battery currently at 41% after 19hrs, 7hrs of that i was non-stop using it after it had charged up fully, that alone would have seriously impacted my gs3 with similar use, screen always on, use included downloading maps, voices and then using sat nav for 30mins, approx 2hrs music playing, general internet use and downloading games/apps, playing them, and using the camera taking pictures and viewing, re-arranging icons, lots of stuff you do with a new phone. Nokia Lumia 620 touchscreen very responsive and clear, it's all great news, tho it will take me a few days to get used to it whereas the GS3 is easy-peasy like ios is to use, but i have no regrets so far.
Few minor things i don't like. Camera lense glass??? is flush with the back cover so be careful putting it down. Speaker is easily covered up and almost silences the phone if covered with a finger etc! The 'send' icon if using Nokia's people hub(for twitter, facebook etc) is placed directly below the space bar on the keyboard and is EASILY pressed by accident, but use the official apps from the Nokia Store and keyboard 'send' icon is in a different position-icon is still same height below the space bar but further over to the left. Like i said, minor niggles. Shame no FM radio, but tbh this phone is stonking value, i can't wait to get the yucky lime green case for it! Very very recommended phone, once your micro sd(mines 32Gb) and micro sim is in(its horridly fiddly and cheap feeling how both are designed to be installed) and the battery is in, its all positive from then on!
Go to 'Settings', 'ease of access' and increase 'text size' to as large or small as you want it, i checked this and it enlarges my contacts details including their number so i don't understand your complaint??? Main contacts list in the Peoples Hub is in large letters, tap on a contact and it has the contacts name across the top of the screen in CAPITALS, the rest below is in lower case, the number is in the same font colour as your tiles(mine are orange atm,), Just tap on contact name and then tap on the number to call it.
I can't see a drafts folder, but if you type a message, them jump out and do other stuff, when you go back in to messages its there still, ready to be completed or deleted. Same as a draft is tbh, I think your nit-picking tho, would something that minor stop you from purchasing what is an excellent phone? You just need to go buy one and use it, thats what i did, i doubt anyone will be unimpressed with it after paying just £130!
Give it a rest, the only time its any use when vibrating is when its on your person, either in a pocket or in your hand, if its not then thats why the phone rings and the vibrating stops. Its common sense. Why the heck would you want your phone to vibrate non-stop when its 10ft or more away?????? Your the only one commenting negative things and you don't even own the phone.......
Thanks for your view,I work in a noisy enviroment, if on ring and vibrate I can't hear the ring, miss the single vibrate and consequently the call. I do not want to keep changing from vibrate only to ring and semi vibrate. The staff at o2, CPWH. and phones4u think it is odd. I do own a 620 and you were right about the font it can be made larger which was not possible with the 710 or if it was I never found out how to change. The rest of the phone is fine and good value. If you read other forums I am not alone, a lot of users are complaining. Nokia just need to make a change and have the same feature as Apple, it is a phone after all and Nokia are supposed to be connecting people!!!
i love this phone! when i buy this i was like, what the heck, this can be my 2nd phone backing up my 4s but then again, i found myselft staring at this phone more than my 4s!! lol im starting to fall in love with windows all over again, good job nokia and microsoft
i dont find thise little screen a bother anyway, it makes perfectly fit in my hands for single hand usage on messaging
can you have the instagram app on this phone?
i want to purchase a phone . can anyone help me ... which phone is better ?
I have had the 620 now for about 3 weeks. I gave up (finally) on my Blackberry Bold as at 50 something that kind of screen is now way too small! I needed a big screen - not a big phone. As someone who bought a Nokia 8210 way back in the last century, I really appreciate how quality, compactness and design all combine to create a work of art - especially where mobile phones are concerned. I would just endorse (rather than repeat everything) that Phil says. This is a budget phone that more than adequately does with ease what most phones are required to do. I worried a little at the outset because all the review site kept banging on about rubbish battery life. Well for me this just hasn't materialised. I use the settings to my advantage as I did with my Blackberry. If you don't need a function at the moment - TURN IT OFF. If you don't need data updates whilst you are asleep - TURN IT OFF. If you don't need the brightest screen setting there is use medium or low (Low is just fine for me). Use the battery saver for as long as it doesn't interfere with your use of phone functions. The last couple of nights my phone charge was the same percentage on waking as it was the previous night - even using the ALARM function. It makes a great alarm and the RINGTONE app lets you create alarms to your hearts content. I don't usually go on so much about techy stuff but this phone is just brill. Don't forget to protect it with a decent cover - I bought a Fruit Salad side flip case in Yellow from Nillkin as they seem to be the only manufacturers (IN THE WORLD) that offer this type of ULTrA-THIN case. Enjoy
Terrific review Phil - my experience mirrored!

Rear Cardboard Shield for Old Fridge
Hi All,
I recently inherited an old fridge which we plan on keeping in the basement as for extra food storage. In the moving process, there was an insulated piece of cardboard covering the bottom of the rear of the fridge, where the compressor is. What kind of risk do I run by leaving this open in a clean dry basement? Is it replaceable on a 10 year old fridge? See images below.
It might hurt the resale value :)
Otherwise its a non issue. It was there for sound dampening, and to keep hands out.
Just cut yourself a new piece from a cardboard box and screw it on.
I was on my mobile...didn't see the open condenser.
Don't forget a couple of holes for the air to get out of there...
So I have a few pieces of pressboard left over from a desk, using those wont run the risk of any kind of fire? The old piece had some heavy insulation on it, and if you look at the first pic, there is a piece of copper tubing that would touch the board.
Push the copper tube out of the way. Don't kink it, and don't let it touch anything else. You don't want it to vibrate against anything. I don't see an issue with the board.

Financial aid: Duke students normally continue to receive their regular financial aid and scholarships for the ICCS Rome program.
Non-Duke students currently receiving federal financial aid and/or scholarships should consult with the financial aid office at their home institution before applying to ICCS to determine how much of their aid package can be applied to the program. You may need to submit a Consortium Agreement Form to Duke to facilitate the transfer of your aid.
Scholarships: The Benedetta and Giancarlo Galassi-Beria Scholarship Fund provides for students in need of financial support to study at ICCS. Scholarships have ranged from $500 to $10,000. In recent years no student has had to forego a semester at the Centro because of the cost.
In order to be considered, students must submit the Financial Need Assessment Form, completed and signed by a financial aid officer from the home institution, verifying eligibility and amount of need. Students applying for this scholarship must file a current FAFSA application at their home institution. The Financial Need Assessment Form must be submitted with the program application, by the application deadline.
The Managing Committee will make admissions decisions and then review scholarship applications. Students are informed of scholarship awards within four weeks of the application deadline.
All information received from financial aid offices is kept strictly confidential and seen only by the Managing Committee and a limited number of staff in Duke University 's Global Education Office.

South Carolina Baby Mamas Arrested For Taser Assaulting Baby Daddy
According to a Spartanburg Police Department report, Rodrick Tucker, 21, told officers that Tabitha Martin, 23, invited him to her apartment Tuesday. Tucker, who described Martin as his "baby's mama," added that when he arrived at the residence, Martin invited him into the bedroom. Tucker told police that "once he was lying on the bed" in Martin's apartment, Courtney Littlejohn–his "other baby's mama"–entered the bedroom. Tucker, who was likely expecting an afternoon delight, quickly became the target of a tag-team attack.
The women, Tucker told police, yanked him off the bed and began "repeatedly punching him in the face and head." After escaping the bedroom, Tucker said he was "again knocked to the floor." He added that Littlejohn, 23, "sat on top of him, not allowing him to get up." Tucker said that "both females began to tase him several times with a stun-gun." After again freeing himself from the pair's clutches, Tucker said that he "picked up his baby, thinking the ladies would stop attacking him" while he was holding the small human shield. That was a miscalculation on Tucker's part.
The women, he said, "continued to swing at him until he finally gave the baby to Ms. Martin," police reported. Tucker, who fled the home after handing over the baby, told cops that he believed Martin and Littlejohn "were mad at him because he has a new girlfriend."

I'm up for this. E-mail sent.
thank you!
This really is a must do thing, it is well worth taking the time to attend this and learn some things you thought you knew.
I'm in, email sent
I would really like to do this but am just wondering if doing this will help my chances of actually judging at shows? Because I know there are already a number of guys who are established go to judges and refs, so does anyone have any advice as to a) what would be the next step to getting into judging after attending this course and b) if it is worth my while and if any promoters would actually have me judging, even if I did the course?
Jimbo - of course it is certainly worth your while mate! in fact most people here it heklps them get work at shows as it solidifies their knowledge and shows there effort in actually going out of their way to improve and learn in the first place.
I do discuss the best steps to take at the seminar and what you can do afterwards.
Look forward to seeing you there!
This is a great thing. We are always looking for qualified judges and refs at our shows. The more to choose from the better, really!
A big thank you to Marc for a first class seminar. A really interesting guy with some great chat, anecdotes and wealth of knowledge and experience. Im sure we all left better informed than we were at the start of the day.
