The goal: To determine if Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) is in your grove and what impact the treatments you are applying have on ACP densities. Yellow sticky card traps are not very attractive to psyllids. Visual and tap sampling methods are better for detecting psyllids and population monitoring.
Visual Survey: The best way to find psyllids is to examine tiny new leaves as they are developing and look for signs of adult psyllids or the nymphal stage with its waxy tubules. The adults must lay their eggs in new flush. However, when population densities are low, psyllids may be difficult to find.
Tap Sampling: Uniform sampling methods are used to compare infestations in commercial citrus orchards. The current protocol is to sample 10 trees each on the north, east, south, west borders (rows/trees) of the orchard and in the center of the orchard (total of 50 trees). The psyllid prefers borders and so the focus is on the outside edges of orchards. Edges are defined as breaks in citrus plantings, generally the size of a road. Enter the data on a sample sheet.
- Tap Sampling: Use a clipboard with a white piece of paper inside a plastic sheet. Spray the plastic sheet with a mixture of a squirt of detergent mixed in a ½ liter of water. ACP knocked onto the clipboard will stick in the solution, giving you time to see, identify and count them. Hold the clipboard under a branch and strike the branch 3 times with a 12" section of pvc pipe (or other device). Then count the number of winged adult psyllids collected on the clipboard. Scrape the psyllids off of the clipboard after each count and re-apply the liquid as needed. To see a video demonstration, click here Tap sample demonstration
- Visual survey: Examine 1 young leaf flush per sample tree for all psyllid stages (eggs, nymphs, adults). Split the numbers on the sample sheet by stage. Example; 1/0/3 denotes 1 egg, 0 nymphs and 3 adults were found.
- Describe the state or stage of the leaf growth on the tree as feather flush, growing flush or fully expanded leaves. This provides information about whether the flush is in a suitable state for immature stages.

As we move to a cloud-centered computing world, as one big research firm said this week was well under way, the mystery surrounding the move in compute cycles from our PCs to data centers has taken on a spy novel-like quality.
Wired Enterprise's Cade Metz and Robert McMillan today lift the lid on two big cloudy secrets — shhhh! — at Google and Amazon:
Just how far will Google go to hide its custom-built data-center hardware from the rest of the world? In one Silicon Valley data center, the company is apparently so paranoid about competitors catching a glimpse of its gear, it's been known to keep its server cages in complete darkness, outfitting its technical staff like miners and sending them spelunking into the cages with lights on their heads.
And now one of the big mysteries with Amazon has been revealed:
It's one of Amazon's best-kept secrets. How many computers does it take to keep its Elastic Compute Cloud platform afloat? And now, a researcher with Accenture thinks he has the answer: 445,000. That's the number that Huan Liu came up with when he did a bit of internet sleuthing. "It's a fairly big site; it's pretty impressive," he says of the entire EC2 operation.
OK, so I might sound like I am being sarcastic, mocking how we in this space find such information so need-to-know (see Wired Enterprise's Secret Servers special report.) I am a bit, just for fun here, but judging from the [show comments] on my post about the personal cloud taking over for the PC by 2014, many would find this information interesting, given all the real concerns about data security, privacy and lock-in in terms of monthly fees.
Shedding light on the subject should help dispel some of the mystery. But does this secret-revealing serve to quell any of folks' real concerns about the shift to the cloud? Spelunking, Google? Seriously? Have your say, below.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

I'm a truck mechanic, and just got my CPL two weeks ago. I live in Mich. and drive an hour one way to get to work. My company's handbook has a list of conduct rules, and half way down is one saying that " no unauthorized weapons are allowed on property"
So me being the honest law abiding person that I am, and figuring that I should be the one to tell my boss that I carry ( not someone accidently finding my gun) I send him an e-mail. I tell him that I have my permit and I've been keeping my gun locked in my car. I had not taken it into the shop, and just wanted to be up front with him.
My boss and his brother grew up on a farm and hunted. I figured they would authorize me to keep my gun in my car without any problem. I could not have been more wrong. I feel like I'm working for Obama's step brothers. In Mich., property owners have the power to refuse to let employees secure their guns in their own cars.
I was told that my gun should just stay home and if I really feel the need to carry do it in the evenings or on weekends. They just don't feel comfortable with me having a gun in my car on their property.
So now do I break the rules and if found out possibly lose my job? Do I find someplace off the property to park? or do I leave my gun at home and hope that I don't need it somewhere within the 55miles between work and home?
Sheep are stupid if they think bad things only happen between the hours of 5pm and 5:30am and only at your house. I'm very pissed off and need some input.

More Information for Buckeye Book Fair Authors
Authors participate by invitation only. If you would like to be invited to attend the Buckeye Book Fair, please see the Submissions page for information on how to submit your book for consideration.
Who Sells the Books?
The Buckeye Book Fair purchases books directly from the authors' publisher(s) and sells these books to the general public and libraries at our event through our streamlined checkout. Books are ordered in October and will be set up at the authors' tables when they arrive.
The Buckeye Book Fair does not have booths available for private vendors.
Can I Provide My Own Books / Other Products?
The Buckeye Book Fair will purchase books directly from the authors' publisher(s).
If you have copies of a title that is out-of-print and would like to sell it at the Book Fair, it should be listed on your registration form with your name on the publisher line. The Buckeye Book Fair purchases at 40% off the cover price from authors. Authors providing their own titles must arrive before 8:30 am to get checked in. Our inventory manager (located in the stage area of Fisher Auditorium) will give you a receipt for the books you bring in and for the books that are taken home at the end of the day.
The Buckeye Book Fair will also consider including non-book items (such as art prints, CDs, or gift items) to be provided by the author. Please contact the manager to discuss arrangements prior to the September 15 brochure deadline.
Due to the logistics of the event, please do NOT plan to bring books on Fair day, except for your backup supply, or by arrangement with the manager.
Event Time and Place
The Buckeye Book Fair is held from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm in Fisher Auditorium on the campus of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) in Wooster, Ohio. Please see the Get Directions page to find your way to the Fair. Authors are asked to arrive between 8:00 to 9:00 am. Breakfast, lunch, and refreshments will be provided for authors and their guest.
Authors should park next to the auditorium (on the left side as you face the building) and enter on the north side of the building through the door marked Author Entrance Only. The front doors will not be open until 9:30 am.
How Big Is My Table?
Each author will be seated at an 8' x 3' banquet table with another author to sign books and meet the public. Because of this arrangement, authors are limited to five titles. There will be a seating plan which authors can find in the centerfold of our printed brochure (which will be mailed to authors in October). Seating is randomly assigned and not all tables can connect to a power outlet. Please notify the manager before September 15th if you need to request a power outlet (for your laptop) or would like to display a large banner or backdrop behind your table.
Tables will be provided with a blue tablecloth, a supply of your books, and a sign with your book price list. You may bring easels or a free-standing display with you, but they should not exceed two feet in depth due to the closeness of the space. The auditorium asks that no items be taped directly onto the walls, floors, or tables. We have a supply of hooks that can be used to display materials on the wall behind your table.
What Should I Bring / How Many of My Books Did You Order?
Authors are encouraged to bring tabletop displays or visual aids (see photo below), handouts and/or projects for kids, your favorite autographing pens, and a backup supply of books (if convenient to do so). Your books will be ordered directly from the publisher and will be set up at your table when you arrive.
We typically purchase books by case quantity. Depending on the type and cost of your book, we generally order 25 to 50 copies of each title. Authors are strongly encouraged to bring a backup supply of books due to the unpredictability of sales. If needed, the Buckeye Book Fair will purchase the books from you at the standard retail discount of 40% or will mail replacement copies to you following the event.
Books are displayed on author tables AND in a separate browsing area (see photo below). Many customers prefer to pick out their books from the browsing area set up on the stage. There is a red ribbon attached to the authors' signposts which authors will slide to the top of the post to signal book runners who will bring more books when needed.
What Should I Wear?
Typical dress at the Buckeye Book Fair is business casual, and typical dress for the author reception is business formal.
Where Should I Stay?
With many Buckeye Book Fair authors living in nearby parts of Ohio, the Book Fair asks the publisher or author to cover transportation and lodging costs. The following accommodations are recommended and are within 5 minute's driving distance to Fisher Auditorium.
The Wooster Inn ($125), 330-263-2660
Rodeway Inn ($75), 330-262-5008
Black Squirrel Inn B&B ($110), 330-262-3803
Market Street Inn B&B ($105), 330-262-4085
A complete list of area accommodations is available on the Wayne County Visitors Bureau website.
Author Reception
There will be an author reception held the Friday evening prior to the Buckeye Book Fair where authors will have a chance to meet with each other and with the members of the Buckeye Book Fair steering committee. The reception is held at The Wooster Book Company in downtown Wooster from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.

Latest Q&A
How can we get vet fees returned for fostered pet?Q:
We "fostered" a dog for a week before we actually adopted the dog. During that foster week the dog developed kennel cough and had worms. I took her to my vet to receive treatment which came to $145. this was 3 days after fostering. Later we signed the paper to legally adopt the dog and my fiance paid $125. I know the dog lemon laws says if a dog gets sick within 14 days that we are entitled a medical refund. BUT we hadn't signed the dog, so we payed for care for their dog. Are we entitled to a refund and are they going to take the dog back when we go in for the next set of shots and not tell us?
Often a foster 'parent' and rescue organization or shelter enter into an agreement that delineates rights and responsibilities, including who pays for an animal's needs (such as veterinary care) during foster care. Adoption agreements usually address rights and responsibilities as well and sometimes contain provisions specifying remedies in the event of a breach of an adoption agreement. Florida's pet sale law giving purchasers rights if they purchase sick animals is not applicable to county and city operated shelters and registered non-profit humane organizations. However, shelters and rescue groups frequently work cooperatively with foster care 'parents' to ensure that the foster animal gets necessary care.

I have two one year old lab/rot/retriever, one is always so calm and laid back. but the other is everywhere. I love his hyperactivity but sometimes it just gets a lil out of hand. im not real sure how to calm him down when he needs to be besides letting him wear himself out. and even that doesnt help half the time. Any ideas would be great!

Yeh, I hear ya.
Dieta drives me crazy sometimes. Especially if I am sick, I have to put her out alot.
One thing that helped with his big dog, Bridget was massaging.
There is a couple of ten dollars videos at k9elite.com
Often in some dogs it helps. Also, I don't know if it works, but in the petstore the showstopper supplement is suppose to have an ingredient to calm not sure if it works, it is very expensive.
The only other thing I can think of is finding a sport for him or niche that he really loves, a kiddie pool, swimming, fly ball, ect.
I don't know about you but one of my dogs wears me out. She use to be worse when she was younger. Maybe when your dog is around 3-4 he will calm down.
Labs and retrievers can be high energy as that is their nature from breeding.

Try a DayCamp for your dog, some PetSmarts offer it & it's a great way for them to lose their energy & socialize.

Regarding the dust trap in the slide, here are some more pictures:
It catches a lot of lint in there when worn under a polo.
I've been wanting a P30S since HK announced their production two or three years ago, I like the idea of non-1911 pistols in 9mm that offer cocked and locked (C&L) carry, meaning that the chamber is loaded and there is a manual safety engaged.
I am a die-hard 1911 fan and have no illusions that I am done with 1911s by any means and the addition of this feature on the P30 is very appealing as I can maintain familiarity with the drawing/firing process of a C&L platform. I've been very happy with the HK45 and the addition of the P30S will allow to to shoot more for less $$$, with the cost difference between 9mm and .45, I have the cost of the gun in just a few 1K ammo orders.
I've only got a couple hundred rounds through the gun so far, but plan on running the gun in this years trip to TDI's Partner Tactics Course (another advantage of the P30S is that we don't have to order two calibers of ammunition and can stick with 9mm as the wife will be running her Glock 19) as well as some other classes and of course, IDPA. As such, I'm not going to talk about two or three hundred "flawless rounds" as I should very well hope that a gun can go three hundred +/- rounds without hiccup.
So what I cam going to talk about is what I like/dislike about the P30S.
Some may be wondering why I chose the regular length P30S instead of the P30LS, well I'm a big proponent of keeping varying carry platforms and methods as close together as possible, and my preferred carry holster is the Milt Sparks Versa-Max II which is/was not available for the P30L...so yes, I actually chose my gun in part due to holster availability but it beats buying a gun and then not being able to find a holster for it. I know without a doubt that I like the VMII, most of my primary carry guns have ridden in one so why change?
From left to right: Les Baer SRP, HK45, Nighthawk Talon-Recon, Glock 19
As for the P30, the first thing anyone will talk about is the grip. I do have to say that this is probably the most customizable handgun grip on the market with what comes from the manufacturer.
Stock Photo from HK USA Website, P30 LEM shown
Three different back straps, and three different side panels allow the user to "custom fit" the gun to their hand. I've got it set up with the large back strap and large right side panel and it almost mirrors the feel of my HK45 with the large back strap. The left side back strap is the medium and I may change it to the small to reduce friction on my side when worn IWB.
A nice feature of the P30 family is that the de-cocker is not operated by a frame mounted lever like the USP line, it took the de-cocker location of the P2000 and is a button located to the left of the hammer. What this means to us that use the P30S is a C&L manner, is that we don't have to worry about de-cocking the hammer by mashing down too hard on the safety lever.
Stock Photo from HK USA Website: HK P30S
The safety lever is also metal, a step up when compared to the USP and HK45 as far as I'm concerned. However this does mean that over time the safety will show the same discoloration as the slide stop levers and turn kind of a goldish bronze. Not really a big issue, but I may have the small parts Cerakoted if the wear gets too bad. Time will tell. I also like that there is a "detent ball" of sorts under the left side safety lever (will add pics later) that makes the safety much more positive in it's engagement than the the USP or HK45.
As much as I like the operation of the de-cocker, one issue I can see happening is that while drawing or re-holstering using the "thumb cap" method that the de-cocker may be actuated and one may end up with a double action first shot when expecting a single action first shot. This will be something that I watch for and will report back later with my findings.
One other issue, is that when carried C&L, there is a cavernous amount of open space for dirt, lint, etc. to build up in the hammer & sear components.
The gun itself is just slightly larger than the Glock 19 which is pretty much the quintessential concealed carry gun, and for me this is good as the grip on the Glock 19 is just a hair too short for my liking and the P30 is just the right size. Despite having a sub 4" barrel, the pistol is quite accurate and like most guns, is more than accurate enough for defense and competition purposes. The one issue I have with the gun is HK's choice of sights, like the HK45, the P30S has the "luminous" sights and I personally find the three-dot arrangement too busy and will be replacing the rear sight in "6-8 weeks" with some newly produced 10-8 rear sights (not yet released but coming soon) to hopefully get a less busy sight picture.
The reset of the gun is a little longer than I'm used too, but by no means intolerable. A trip out for some action work may be in the gun's future, but as of right now I'm OK with it as is.
LOVE my P30S 9mm---nothing much else to say when the pistol gives you zero problems...
I have the HK 45 and want to get either the P30 or P2000. I think you just made up my mind......I should get BOTH!
Wouldn't mind having one............the wife said that it was the best " feeling" firearm that she handled...ended up getting her an SR40, because of price difference...but it's not off the radar yet.....
AS a follow up, the P30S in this thread has been updated a little bit and has been supplemented with a P30LS
The LS has been upgraded with some Heinie Straight 8 Night Sights and a trigger job from Gray Guns.
The LS is a light LEM and as the hammer is down eliminates all the crud build up I was getting in the hammer channel.
The red dot install on the P30S was done by Bowie Tactical Concepts and features a Leupold Delta Point with 7.5MOA Triangle.
There were some pains with the new set up, the original optic died on me and due to the milling and location of the optic, there was too much pressure on the stock firing pin block spring and the firing control group was binding up. I replaced the spring with a "light" spring and all my issues went away.
I'm shooting my best scores with these guns, I finally shot Expert on the IDPA classifier with the "L" and bettered my score by a decent margin in a mock classifier with the red dot equipped P30S with Red-Dot. I also had a pretty good performance at our Halloween match which was a mash-up of IDPA and USPSA where optic equipped guns were allowed.
For a little more info on the P30S with Delta Point:

Guns, Guns, & More Gosh Darn Guns: Update: Bowie Tactical P30S w/ Delta Point
edited to add:
Before the 10-8 sights came out I installed a set of Dawson Fiber Optic sights on the P30S and managed to get them in straight,
the guns then went a couple thousand rounds at both Suarez Intl's Point Shooting Progressions (PSP) and TDI's Partner Tactics Course and ran very well. I did have some premature slide lock backs with the gun and installed a set of slim slide release levers which eliminated those issues.
Overall I'm VERY happy with both P30S'
^dude VAMarine, those are crazy tactical weapons mane
Great write-up on both pistols.
Not in my possession yet but, I have a P30 V3 on the way. I specifically purchased it without the manual safety because my other carry pistols are the same way and, it will keep all my carry pistols basically the same. I really didn't care much for my Sig P229 when I first bought it but after I got used to it I find I love that configuration.

DIY Design Kits Transform LA Streets Into Urban Arts Spaces
LADOT launches accelerator for plazas, parklets, and bicycle corrals.
Los Angeles has over 7,500 miles of city streets that can now be transformed into active, vibrant, and accessible public space by the community through an innovative urban design system from People St, a program of the City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) featuring beautifully designed pieces, from lounge chairs to Tai Chi spinners. The goal of the program is to improve the quality of life of Angelenos by providing a toolkit of cost-efficient design elements that can be quickly installed to help the city come alive with minimalist wood and steel planter boxes full of succulents, sleek picnic tables, and even GameTime exercise equipment to reinforce Los Angeles' reputation by modernizing its streets for tourists and residents alike. In this live urban design accelerator, community members are empowered to apply for People St kits to take charge of improving the city as LADOT aims to demystify City processes, rules, and requirements. Through thoughtful modern design, People St helps create a new urban landscape that shapes the narrative for the future of Los Angeles by fostering a new era of more safe, active, and beautiful communities.
Each kit contains packaged, required configurations for Plazas, Parklets, and Bike Corrals to choose from. Specifications provided in these documents simplify and automate the process, efficiently eliminating the need to reinvent the wheel for each project and streamlining the workflow with thoughtfully pre-approved design kits. By making it easier to implement these designs, LADOT effectively accelerates the access to active, accessible places in the city for people to enjoy that supports walking, bicycling and economic vitality. Expanding public spaces can mitigate traffic; increase safety for people who walk, bike, and take public transit; and encourage more walking and bicycling. Urban design can make measurable impacts on key indicators, such as safety or economic vitality, including the fostering of a stronger sense of community and support for local businesses as pedestrians spent more time strolling around neighborhoods. Implementing these project kits is a simple first step towards proving the concept and will lead to attracting future capital-intensive investments in physical street infrastructure.
The first Bicycle Corral from People Street was installed in February 2011 on York Boulevard in Highland Park, repurposing an on-street parking space with five bicycle racks—enough space for 10 bicycles to lock up. Sunset Triangle Plaza, a street transformed into a plaza through the People Street kit, debuted a year later on Griffith Park Boulevard in Silver Lake. The plaza is now filled with café tables and chairs, planters, a Bicycle Corral, and a basketball hoop, the design of which has helped to cultivate a rich neighborhood community full of summer movie nights and weekly farmers' market.
People St is a concept successfully proven through several experimental sites and developed through years of cooperation and collaboration between community groups, elected officials, City staff, and other nongovernmental organizations focused on increasing the capacity for innovative urban design within neighborhoods to improve quality of life in Los Angeles.

Welcome to our second Oscar Week 'Meet the Nominees' article! Today, as yesterday, we feature one nominee from each acting category, as well as the next two nominated films!
Jeff Bridges
First up, our second nominee for the Best Actor category, Jeff Bridges! He is nominated for his brilliant work as Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn in True Grit; a character who seems full of himself, standoffish and gruff when you first meet him, but as the movie progresses, we the audience learn that he loves talking about himself, yet seems starved for company. Oh, and he loves himself a good drink! Bridges plays this iconic role to it's fullest, taking over the role that John Wayne made famous. He's brilliantly nuanced, and takes each emotion in the direction intended. You genuinely feel like you were sucked into his world and what he feels, you feel as well. It's a great follow-up to last year's award winning role in Crazy Heart. Well done Jeff!

Fox News Sunday panel ignored Edwards' reasons for skipping Fox debate
Research ››› ››› RYAN CHIACHIERE
On Fox News Sunday, while discussing John Edwards' decision not to participate in a Fox-sponsored Democratic debate in Nevada, panelists Bill Kristol, Juan Williams, Brit Hume, and Nina Easton all ignored Edwards' specific criticism of Fox News.
On the March 11 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, during a discussion regarding Democratic presidential candidate and former Sen. John Edwards' (NC) decision not to participate in a Fox News-sponsored Democratic debate in Nevada, the show's roundtable ignored entirely Edwards' explicitly stated reasons for withdrawing from the event. Indeed, the panel discussion included no mention of a March 9 email, in which the Edwards campaign cited two reasons why they had pulled out of the debate: Fox News' "blatant lies about Senator [Barack] Obama's [D-IL] background" and the network's decision "to give [right-wing pundit] Ann Coulter a platform to spew more hate a few days after her bigoted attack on Senator Edwards and the gay community."
Host Chris Wallace led off the segment by airing a controversial joke Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes made while accepting the Radio-Television News Directors Association & Foundation's First Amendment Leadership Award: "[I]t is true that Barack Obama is on the move. I don't know if it's true that President Bush called [Pakistani President Pervez] Musharraf and said: 'Why can't we catch this guy?' " Wallace went on to report that the Nevada State Democratic Party later cancelled the debate entirely, citing Ailes' joke as one of the reasons for its decision.
After Wallace read from the Nevada state party's March 9 statement -- in which it stated that Ailes' comments about Obama "went too far" -- the panel launched into a discussion that repeatedly returned to Edwards' decision not to participate. Weekly Standard editor and Fox News contributor Bill Kristol accused Edwards of "pandering to the left wing of the party." National Public Radio senior national correspondent and Fox News contributor Juan Williams said that not participating in the debate was "contrary to the principles that should be advocated by anybody who says they're liberal or progressive," adding that "it should be liberals who are flying the flag for open and full-throated debate." Fox News Washington managing editor Brit Hume said that Edwards "is really the key player in this" and that his decision "pleases the wing of the party which is active and important in the nominating process."
But despite focusing the discussion largely on Edwards' opting out of the Nevada debate, neither Wallace nor any of the panelists noted that Edwards had cited two specific incidents involving Fox News as his reasons for withdrawing.
On March 6, Edwards' deputy campaign manager Jonathan Prince emailed the Daily Kos' Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, writing that Edwards would "not be participating in the Fox debate," and added: "By the end of March, we will have attended three presidential forums in Nevada -- and there are already at least three proposed Nevada debates." The email concluded: "We're definitely going to debate in Nevada, but we don't see why this needs to be one of them."
Later on March 9, the Edwards campaign sent an email to supporters, stating that "Fox News has already proven they have no intention of providing 'fair and balanced' coverage of any Democrat in this election." In support of this assertion, the statement noted that Fox News has "run blatant lies about Senator Obama's background" and that "Fox was only too happy to give Ann Coulter a platform to spew more hate a few days after her bigoted attack on Senator Edwards and the gay community." Media Matters documented both of the instances to which the Edwards campaign referred.
As Media Matters noted, on January 19, several Fox News hosts touted a since-discredited InsightMag.com article reporting that "researchers connected to" Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) disclosed that Obama "spent at least four years in a so-called Madrassa, or Muslim seminary, in Indonesia" and that "the specific Madrassa Mr. Obama attended" might have taught "a Wahhabi doctrine that denies the rights of non-Muslims."
Media Matters also noted that Fox News' Hannity & Colmes hosted Coulter on March 5 to explain her comments to the Conservative Political Action Conference, where she referred to Edwards as a "faggot." On that program, Coulter claimed that the word "isn't offensive to gays. It has nothing to do with gays. It's a schoolyard taunt, meaning wuss. And unless you're telling me that John Edwards is gay, it was not applied to a gay person."
During the panel discussion, Hume also claimed that "what Edwards knows is that while he may be at war against Fox News, Fox News is not and cannot be at war with him," adding that Fox News correspondents "Carl Cameron and Jim Angle and Major Garrett and you, Chris, in interviews, and I, as a news anchor on a nightly program, are going to continue to treat him in the same fair way that we've always treated him." However, Media Matters has previously noted numerous examples of inaccurate reporting and misinformation about Democrats by Cameron, Angle, Garrett, Wallace, and Hume.
From the March 11 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday:
AILES [video clip]: Any candidate for high office of either party who believes he can blacklist any news organization is making a terrible mistake about journalists.
WALLACE: That was the chairman of Fox News Channel, Roger Ailes, responding after former Senator John Edwards announced he would not participate in a debate this summer being sponsored by Fox News and the Nevada Democratic Party.
And we're back now with Brit, Nina, Bill, and Juan. And let me just say right at the outset what a great speech Roger Ailes gave. I want to go firmly on record about that.
But this episode raises an interesting question, because Edwards dropped out after getting pressure from left-wing blogs and groups about the fact that he should have nothing to do with Fox.
Then after Roger's speech, the Nevada State Democratic Party wrote a letter canceling the entire debate. Let's put up what they had to say: "[C]omments made last night by Fox News President Roger Ailes in reference to one of our presidential candidates went too far. We cannot, as good Democrats, put our party in a position to defend such comments."
So, what did Roger Ailes say that was so objectionable? Here it is.
AILES [video clip]: And it is true that Barack Obama is on the move. I don't know if it's true that President Bush called Musharraf and said: "Why can't we catch this guy?"
WALLACE: Brit, what's going on here?
HUME: Well, that was obviously a joke on the president, the idea being he didn't know the difference between Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden. I think everybody in the room got it.
I don't think the Nevada Democratic Party was the least bit offended by that comment. I think the Nevada Democratic Party wanted to pull the plug on this debate because it -- like the Edwards campaign -- was under intense pressure from the bloggers and other leftist elements within the party, to which the party is at times remarkably responsive. But looking at -- Edwards is really the key player in this, and when you think about it for a minute, in the short term, this is probably a shrewd political move by him on a couple of counts.
One is that it separates him from the other candidates, at least briefly. It pleases the wing of the party which is active and important in the nominating process. And what Edwards knows is that while he may be at war against Fox News, Fox News is not and cannot be at war with him.
He knows, and his people know, that Carl Cameron and Jim Angle and Major Garrett and you, Chris, in interviews, and I, as a news anchor on a nightly program, are going to continue to treat him in the same fair way that we've always treated him. And we must do that.
Now, he may get roughed up by some conservative commentators on Fox, but he'll be defended by liberal commentators on Fox as well. So, in the short term, this is probably good politics. In the long term, I have my doubts, but that remains to be seen.
EASTON: This is a bigger political story than just this debate or the Nevada Democratic Party. This is really about the power of the liberal left blogging community, which I think we're going to see play out.
We've already seen bits and pieces of it. Keep in mind, it was the blogging community that very much put pressure on presidential candidates to renounce their vote about Iraq. And Hillary Clinton's paid the price in that community for this. John Edwards did renounce his vote and it was part and parcel of that pressure coming.
And this is going to be something that the Democratic candidates are going to have to respond to all through the campaign there. And Edwards, I think, is more aligned with that community than the other candidates. It's going to be a difficult road at points for them.
WALLACE: Bill, here's the question I have. What would the mainstream media say if a Republican candidate were to cave in to right-wing blogs and right-wing interest groups and say, "I'm not going to have anything to do with CBS News or The New York Times"?
KRISTOL: You know, I thought about that. Certainly, the right dislikes The New York Times as much as the left dislikes Fox News. And if, yeah, a candidate refused to appear at a forum -- I don't think it ever happens, does it?
You know, one feels one should treat the media -- one has to be open to the media. Look, if the Democrats don't want Fox to sponsor a debate, I suppose that's their business. But what it tells me is, you know, that the Democratic Party has moved to the left.
John Edwards appeared on Fox News Sunday -- what? -- four times between late 2003 and late 2004. I remember chatting with him.
WALLACE: He came on regularly and, quite frankly, I hope he comes back. He's welcome anytime. He's an interesting political figure.
KRISTOL: Yeah, and I noticed that his spokesman left open the possibility of appearing on Fox. They don't want to really close the door.
So, it's just a pandering to the left wing of the party, which they're doing on trivial things, like who hosts a debate in Nevada, and serious things, like putting -- undercutting our attempt to win the war in Iraq.
WILLIAMS: Well, you know, there's just no question, we live in an era of niche journalism. And in niche journalism, Fox is more conservative, and so what you have is a situation here where Fox is the new guy on the block. We're 10 years old.
And you have people then coming along saying, "Well, Fox is practicing a kind of journalism that is preferential towards Republicans or the White House." I think it's more conservative and contrarian than anything. But that's all true.
But then it comes to the point where -- so what are you going to do? You don't like the kind of broadcasting that Fox does -- although it's quite successful, has a legitimate audience, people are listening and being informed on the basis of Fox journalism -- and then you're going to say, "We're not going to play ball with them."
To my mind, that is contrary to the principles that should be advocated by anybody who says they're liberal or progressive -- whatever kind of language they want -- in this country. You want open and full- fledged, full-throated debate. That's what you want.
And nobody said that this wasn't going to be a legitimate debate with real questions that would put candidates in a position to offer real answers. They would be given time.
WALLACE: You're fired up.
WILLIAMS: Well, I think it's crazy that you tell the people shut up. I mean, I sometimes have this argument with Brit Hume. I think he's trying to shut me up. But I think it should be liberals who are flying the flag for open and full-throated debate, you know?

FCAT on the Way Out?
It's been a part of the Florida educational system for more than a decade, but the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test may soon be a thing of the past. Even though no final decision has been made school districts may already be saying goodbye to the FCAT.
Several North Central Florida school districts will be doing field testing for "end-of-course" exams that would replace the FCAT tests. The exams will cover Algebra I and Geometry with testing in May.
So far the only component that is clear in the plan is that the test would take place at the end of the course. Other aspects including how these exams would fit into the high school grading system remain unclear.
"There actually might be the potential for more coverage in that particular subject before a child is assessed on that material," said Karen Clarke, director of secondary curriculum and school improvement for Alachua County Public Schools.
Under the plan math would be taken off the FCAT exam next year. The other FCAT subjects would be removed over the next four years.

Rain On Your Wedding Day Is Considered Good Luck
A bride starts to plan her wedding way before she is old enough to drive. Family and friends, the wedding dress, the groom all decked out, and sunny skies. But, what happens when the weather isn't all sun and shine? Well, November 29th, 2013 was not as any bride would plan – rainy and cloudy. […]

Vinyl and Booming Amps: fifth annual Record Store Day celebrated in Ballard and internationally
On Saturday, April 21st, in Ballard and around the world, independent record stores opened their doors and vinyl collections to celebrate the sixth annual Record Store Day.
Founded in 2007 by Brian Poehner, Carrie Colliton, Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Amy Dorfman, and Don Cleave, Record Store Day is a celebration of the unique culture surrounding independent record stores and musical artistry.
According to RecordStoreDay.com, 23 record stores and affiliates in Seattle celebrated Record Store Day this year.
"It's a day that makes people aware that independent record stores are still here and viable," said Jason Hughes, owner of Sonic Boom Records located on Market Street in Ballard.
Sonic boom records has had a busy month building up to the Record Store Day celebrations by hosting performances earlier this month by the Lumineers and We Are Augustines.
On the day itself, Sonic Boom Records hosted an in-house performance by Star Anna as well as a side walk sale and a listening hour featuring Jack Whites new album, "Wonder Bus".
Hughes, who has owned the store for 15 years said Record Store Day is the busiest day for sales besides Christmas.
And Sonic Boom wasn't the only Ballard record store entertaining a crowd on Saturday. Across the street, Bop Street Records had thousands of records in their collection waiting for record enthusiasts to flip through.
"Of the half a million records in the store, all are at the VG + (Very Good Plus) standard, with the exception of the classical/opera records. They are at the mint minus standard," said business manager, Bob Jacobs while holding up a gleaming Ray Charles record.
Records are inspected under what Jacobs called "full spectrum lighting," in which every rudiment of dust and sliver of hair is illuminated against the black sheen surface of the vinyl LPs.
"Any record that is below VG + is donated to a local thrift store," Jacobs said pointing to a large box of records ready for pick up.
For Record Store Day, Bop Street offered no charge for sales tax if customers mentioned a secret word that they have covertly placed in media outlets around Seattle.
"The whole promotion was meant as a collaboration with the music industry and independent record stores to showcase musicians work… we have over 150,000 45's and 78's, 8 tracks and cassettes, and out of print albums – over half a million pieces of music in almost every genre you can think of, " said Jacobs.
Dave Voorhees, owner of Bop Street Records and known in some circles as a "vinyl savant", said that vinyl record sales have been steady and that Record Store Day is a time to have a full staff to answer questions about the records.
"I sell fifty to one hundred [vinyl records] for every CD, and I never had any inclination to switch to CD's and to not sell records," he said.
Voorhees, who started selling vinyl records out of his parents home 28 years ago has moved his store to various locations in Seattle, but has been in Ballard since 1984 and at his current records store location since 2010.
"My wife and I love it in Ballard, so we stayed," said Voorhees.
For local stores Record Store Day was once again a celebration of music, discovery, and as Jacobs of Bop Street said, "a vinyl feast."

Crew Avalible - Young man willing to trade free labor to learn how to sail.
Hello I am Anthony
I live in southern california. I am a young male, just out of highschool. I am currently looking for a job on a boat- but money is not what I seek. I have been boating before on day trips, I enjoy fishing but haven't gone in a while. I once worked the summer in the galley grilling horrible burgers and selling beer to amazing story tellers (it was my grandfathers boat the Western Pride in Newport Beach but its sold now..) so I don't get sea sick... I am willing to offer and commit what ever time you need me for in exchange that you show me and teach me about aspects of sailing, the boat in general, and everything inbetween. I will pay for myself to get to your location, which for me, I would rather only have to travel north or south within usa along the west coast or in the gulf of mexico out of TX or other southern states...
I simply want to offer labor as a payment, for I dont have much money, but hopefully we can settle that later... I have a passport, I have all the time in the world, I am a friendly hard worker willing to learn, All Im looking for is experience. I am a traveller and a writer. I enjoy life every second with its wonderful struggles...

NEW Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods 2-Disc DVD Special Edition set for release May 16th
- Double disc set features over an hour of new content including
magic rituals, Morrison's writing process, extended interview w/ Frank Quitely -
Halo-8 opened up pre-orders today for the new 2-Disc DVD Special Edition of acclaimed documentary GRANT MORRISON: TALKING WITH GODS, about the comic book visionary behind The Invisibles, All Star Superman, and the recent Action Comics reboot. The double-disc set features a gorgeous cover illustration by Camilla D'Errico and will be released May 16th through massmarket retail as well as to Direct Market comic book stores through Diamond Comics Distributors. Halo-8 has also made a standalone disc-2 available in its Halo8store for owners of the original edition who wish to upgrade. Directed by Patrick Meaney for his Respect Films banner with Producer/DP Jordan Rennert and produced with SequArt Publishing, this new edition precedes the August 14th release date for the team's follow-up WARREN ELLIS: CAPTURED GHOSTS. Meaney and Rennert are currently producing CHRIS CLAREMONT'S X-MEN, THE IMAGE REVOLUTION, and the OCCUPY COMICS documentaries.
This Special Edition features over an hour of never before seen material including Morrison's magic rituals, an examination of his creative process, and an extended interview with Frank Quitely.
Praise for GRANT MORRISON: TALKING WITH GODS
"Bold, brave, and honest. A fascinating study of the man behind some of the most influential and controversial comics."
(–Mark L Miller, Ain't It Cool News)
"Incredibly interesting and sometimes shocking… a peek into the mind of the infinitely creative."
(–Matthew Meylikhov, Multiversity Comics)
"A contemporary comic book legend… the charismatic subject of this admiring portrait will intrigue the previously unconverted."
(–Dennis Harvey, Variety)
"A thoroughly engaging picture of Grant Morrison built up from a rich cloth of threads. Drop dead gorgeous… an absorbing film."
(–Rich Johnston, Bleeding Cool)
"Fans of superhero comics idolize Grant Morrison, a fast-talking, bald-headed Scot prone to discussing quantum physics, his personal problems, his alien abduction, and whatever else he fancies in a full-speed blurry burr. They're the ideal but not the only audience for Patrick Meaney's documentary, assuming a larger audience might enjoy watching a colorful soul in perpetual monologue."
(–Gregg Rickman, SF Weekly)
"A no-brainer if you're a Morrison fan, a Vertigo acolyte, or a comic book history buff."
(–Cyriaque Lamar, io9)
About the film
"Grant Morrison is a transcendent, transgressive artist, he changed the way a lot of us read comics while also blowing the minds of people who don't read comics at all," said Halo-8 president Matt Pizzolo. "Patrick, Amber, and Jordan have put together a smart, slick, and insightful film that offers a deeper look at the writer without demystifying him… that's no simple feat."
"It's extremely exciting to partner with Halo-8 to release this film. They have extensive experience releasing films that are challenging and transgressive, just like Grant's work, so it seems like the perfect match. I've been nothing but impressed by their plans for getting the film out there," said Meaney. "Talking With Gods is a unique film that needs a unique distributor and Halo-8 is the perfect match."
"We're encouraged by the enthusiasm and experience that Halo-8 is bringing to the project," said Yoder. "They know our audience and the marketplace, and we're excited to be working with them."
GRANT MORRISON: TALKING WITH GODS examines Morrison's 30-year career and the real-life events that inspired his stories. Featuring extensive interviews with Morrison himself, the film delves into his early days growing up in Scotland, the start of his career in comics, the crazy years of the '90s as his life and his comics became enmeshed, and his recent attempts to turn personal troubles and social darkness into compelling comics. The film also gives insight into his creative process, including a look into his vaunted idea notebooks. Complementing Morrison's own words are interviews with many of his most important collaborators, including Warren Ellis, Geoff Johns, Douglas Rushkoff, Frank Quitely, Dan DiDio, Frazer Irving, Phil Jimenez, Cameron Stewart, Jill Thompson, Mark Waid, and others.
"The film is designed to be accessible both to long time fans of Morrison and to people who don't know who he is but are interested in the story of a modern philosopher and magician with radical ideas about the universe and our place in it," said Meaney.

Top conductor questions opera singers' commitment
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - One of the world's leading opera conductors, Antonio Pappano, on Wednesday criticized singers for pulling out of productions too easily, saying at times this was due to illness but at others simply due to a lack of commitment.
The outspoken comments, sure to cause a stir in the operatic world of huge professional pressures and fragile egos, came at a press briefing to outline the upcoming season at the Royal Opera House in London, where British-born Pappano is music director.
Covent Garden, home to the globally renowned Royal Opera and Royal Ballet companies, has suffered a series of cast changes in recent years, some of them at the last minute.
Among the most dramatic was the decision less than a week before curtains went up in December to replace American soprano Jennifer Rowley in the rarely-performed Meyerbeer epic "Robert le Diable" due to a "musical problem".
Since then German soprano Anja Harteros has pulled out of the role of Elizabeth of Valois in "Don Carlo" in May because she was "not able at this point to stay abroad for an extended period of time as originally planned", according to a statement.
Pappano did not mention names, and defended the opera house's decision to stage "Robert le Diable", but did not hold back in voicing his opinion of some of today's top opera stars.
"It happens a lot," he told reporters, referring to cancellations. "It happens more and more. There's something about this generation of singers, that they are weaker in their bodies or don't care.
"I don't know what it is, but it's something that is very very frustrating for me personally." Continued...

Once Minnesota's wolves are removed from the federal endangered species list, some residents have questions about how this change will affect what they can legally do to protect their livestock and pets from wolf depredation.
Following are a few frequently asked questions about wolf management in Minnesota.
How will wolves be managed under the state plan?
The state wolf plan is designed to protect wolves and monitor their population while giving owners of livestock and domestic pets more protection from wolf depredation. It splits the state into two management zones (1.28 MB) with more protective regulations in the northern third, considered the wolf's core range.
Similar to federal regulations, the state plan allows anyone to take a wolf to defend human life. Any wolves taken must be reported to a DNR conservation officer within 48 hours, and the person who took the wolf must protect all evidence.
What will change under the state plan?
State regulations allow harassment of wolves that are within 500 yards of people, buildings, livestock or domestic pets, to discourage wolves from contacting people and domestic animals. Wolves cannot be attracted or searched out for purposes of harassment, and cannot be physically harmed.
Can I shoot a wolf to protect my livestock or pet?
Once wolves are removed from the list of threatened and endangered species, owners of livestock, guard animals, or domestic animals may shoot or destroy wolves that pose an immediate threat to their animals, on property they own or lease in accordance with local statutes.
"Immediate threat" means the observed behavior of a wolf in the act of stalking, attacking, or killing livestock, a guard animal, or a domestic pet under the supervision of the owner.
Additionally, the owner of a domestic pet may shoot or destroy a wolf posing an immediate threat on any property, as long as the owner is supervising the pet.
In all cases, a person shooting or destroying a wolf under these provisions must protect all evidence, and report the taking to a DNR conservation officer within 48 hours. The wolf carcass will be surrendered to the conservation officer.
Conservation Officer Phone Directory Leave a recorded message 24/7
What's the difference between Zone A and Zone B?
Outside the wolf's core range, in the southern two thirds of the state (Zone B), a person may shoot a wolf at any time to protect livestock, domestic animals or pets on land they own, lease, or manage. The circumstance of "immediate threat" does not apply.
A DNR conservation officer must be notified within 48 hours, and the wolf carcass will be surrendered to the conservation officer.
How will we ensure the wolf population is maintained?
The plan establishes a minimum population of 1,600 wolves to ensure the long-term survival of the wolf in Minnesota. If the population falls below the minimum, the DNR will examine reasons behind the decline and adjust wolf management accordingly. The population will continue to be monitored through population surveys every five years. The endangered species act requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to monitor wolves in Minnesota for five years after delisting to ensure that recovery continues.

Connie Sanders King was arrested Tuesday (July 2) in Daytona Beach, Fla., where she had been working at a motorcycle shop since March. It is not clear when she moved to Florida. Authorities arrested her estranged husband, Troy King, near San Diego in March as he tried to enter Mexico. Here's the Nashville news report.

Edward L. Glaeser has done a disservice to a good federal housing program. According to the Washington Post, the HOME program suffered delays in 2.5 percent of 28,000 active projects. It seems to me that a program in which 97.5 percent of the projects come in on time is a very good one!
Glaeser's glib criticism of the HOME program left the impression that it was only a new housing production program. But the HOME program's beauty lies in its flexibility in meeting housing needs defined by the local community. The program allows the state or locality, and not the federal government, to decide whether to use HOME funds to build new units, to rehabilitate existing units, to assist new homebuyers with the acquisition of affordable homes, to provide rental assistance to low-income tenants, or some combination thereof.
In this era of government-baiting, good programs like HOME are easily — and unfairly — targeted. Glaeser shouldn't jump on the bandwagon.

On the rank of compact p-adic Lie groups

The rank of a profinite group G is the basic invariant \({{\rm rk}(G):={\rm sup}\{d(H) \mid H \leq G\}}\), where H ranges over all closed subgroups of G and d(H) denotes the minimal cardinality of a topological generating set for H. A compact topological group G admits the structure of a p-adic Lie group if and only if it contains an open pro-p subgroup of finite rank. For every compact p-adic Lie group G one has rk(G) ≥ dim(G), where dim(G) denotes the dimension of G as a p-adic manifold. In this paper we consider the converse problem, bounding rk(G) in terms of dim(G). Every profinite group G of finite rank admits a maximal finite normal subgroup, its periodic radical π(G). One of our main results is the following. Let G be a compact p-adic Lie group such that π(G) = 1, and suppose that p is odd. If \(\{g \in G \mid g^{p-1}=1 \}\) is equal to {1}, then rk(G) = dim(G).
