text: New Trends in Environmental Design, Part I Contributor * required fields From* To* Message cancel Continuing Education Series Take the test associated with this article New Trends in Environmental Design, Part INOTE: For over a year, Landscape Forms, in conjunction with frog design, worked together to study the behavioral patterns and social interactions in outdoor environments and the integration of architecture, landscape architecture and interior design. The research involved round table discussions with over 225 high-profile professionals in 15 cities in the U.S. and Canada. Attendees included architects, interior designers, landscape architects, educators, civic leaders and commercial clients. A two-part CEU article, appearing in this issue and in the October 2004 issue, explores how an integrated, planned approach to the design of public space can enhance the creation of outdoor environments that encourage social interaction, stimulate creativity and build community—thus improving the human experience in urban environments. This CEU article explores the first of five themes that resulted from this research: Work/Lifestyle: Design for a 24/7 Universe; Technology: The Future of Real Spaces in a Virtual World; and The Corporate Campus: Dinosaur or Evolving Species? The second installment examines the remaining two elements: A Sense of Place: Creating Successful Public Spaces; and Design Practice: Challenges for the Profession.I. Workstyle/Lifestyle: Design For A 24/7 Universe "24/7" signifies more than longer hours on the job. As the design professionals who participated in our roundtables noted, work cycles are not simply longer—they merge with other cycles of life. The boundaries between work, family and leisure are blurred. Changes in the hours people work are accompanied by changes in the places they work, in the kinds of activities they perform at work and in the cultural norms and patterns that have traditionally defined the structure of our days. Technology lets us take it with us. Work is interactive, it's collaborative, and it takes place wherever we are. Given this new reality we might reasonably question the relevance of the corporate workplace as we know it. … Learning Outcomes Interiors & Sources Continuing Education Series articles allow design practitioners to earn continuing education unit credits through the pages of the magazine. Use the following learning objectives to focus your study while reading this issue's article. To receive credit, see the series of questions and follow the instructions.After reading this article, you should be able to: Describe how cultural shifts are impacting workplace design. Identify the key concerns in how increased technology influences the design of public spaces. Describe how corporate and academic campuses are evolving to meet 21-st century needs. Is the Workplace Necessary?Some design professionals suggested that the workplace is not nearly as important as it once was. Networked computers and cell phones enable many workers to conduct business from all sorts of environments—at home and halfway around the world—while remaining connected and productive. Many companies have had successful experiences with professional associates who choose to relocate long distances away from the home office but continue to make valuable contributions to the business. Despite these developments, no one predicted the demise of the workplace and a few, including Network Appliance executive Thom Bryant, suggested that the office place in the age of knowledge work is more important than ever. "Contemporary organizations need to facilitate knowledge work and enhance idea development and sharing," he said. "It is very important for teams within the corporation to get face time together. People telecommuting all over the place sometimes works, but it is definitely not as efficient as being able to have a lot of people get together quickly on the spur of the moment to deal with problems. So there is a trend to get people closer together." Landscape architect and University of California professor Walter Hood made the case for place as a defining aspect of work. "Place—meaning where I choose to work and the people who choose to work with me—will always be important. Many times clients want to come and see where I work because of what it tells them about me. Of course, the work we're actually engaged in at any moment can happen now in public space, in the car, in the airport. We have added more connections and more communication. But the place is always going to be important because it is a representation of who we are and what we do and those values and attitudes that we believe in."Flexibility Is KeyThe issue, our participants said, is what kinds of workplaces are needed to support the broad array of activities, schedules and styles of the people who use them. The call for increased flexibility in environments and furnishings was one we heard across disciplines and in every part of the country. Fred Schmidt, principal, The Environments Group, Chicago, observed: "Within a day a given space might be used for group work, for a training session, for a party, or for one-on-one meetings. And you might have two clients within the same industry, but end up with two very different design solutions. Part of it is driven by function and part is driven by culture." Participants agreed that addressing the multiplicity of functions over time requires objects that can bend and flex, expand or contract, move into the foreground or background, depending on the needs of the situation.Dr. Galen Cranz, professor of Architecture at UC Berkeley, called for a whole new look at what true flexibility in the workplace means, questioning the basic assumption that people must sit upright when they work. "The workplace needs to be redesigned to accommodate more than one posture," she said. "If you're going to be spending eight hours, even 12 hours there, you cannot be in the right-angle seated posture the whole time." She cited the growing incidence of repetitive strain injuries as a clarion call for changes to support people and their bodies in a wider variety of postures.Design professionals pointed to a broad spectrum of adaptive workplace environments that include open and private offices, individual and shared spaces, and an array of amenities and services. On one end of the scale were environments that offer simple settings in which workers can mingle and relax, such as coffee bars and lounges. On the other were offices that welcome dogs, incorporate play areas for kids, and provide pup tents for people who work late. Such environments, designed for younger workers in highly competitive sectors who often work 80+ hours a week, attempt to make workplaces hospitable and friendly to people who spend more time there than at home. Participants reported workstyle/lifestyle innovations in their own offices, including seating areas designed to accommodate visiting family and friends, entertainment areas for hosting after-hours events and community functions, and afternoon teas at which all firm members gather to share downtime. Companies are also making workplaces more hospitable and responsive by providing larger and more varied outdoor environments that support both work and leisure activities. Patios and gardens outfitted with data ports, electrical outlets and phone connections are now common, along with basketball courts, jogging trails, cafés, and seating enclaves of many sorts. At the new Sprint World Headquarters in Overland Park, KS, 60 percent of the site is green space. The campus contains five major courtyards—one an amphitheater and the others used for yoga and karate, outdoor dining, relaxing and meetings—as well as walking trails and other exercise facilities. Even in areas, such as southern Florida, which have not historically been popular places to sit outside, there has been an increase in the use of outdoor facilities. Some participants saw this as a direct reaction to the 24/7 phenomenon and the need to escape from the workplace to a completely different environment. Architects and landscape architects reported increased client requests for a variety of outdoor spaces to which workers can retreat, even if those spaces are in close proximity to buildings. They noted that corporations are using outdoor facilities as tools for recruiting employees.Corporate Culture CountsWhile many companies, such as Turner Entertainment in Atlanta and TIAA-CREF in Charlotte, successfully integrate relaxation and work elements in their landscape design, others discourage the use of outdoor spaces for work activities. Sonja Schiefer of frog design reported that some high-tech clients have instructed the firm not to design outdoor furnishings with built-in access to technology because they want to encourage their workaholic associates to get out of the office and relax. And designing non-traditional spaces and amenities doesn't ensure that they will be used. Architect Jim Prendergast, principal at Perkins & Will, observed that, "The idea of having outdoor pavilions where people can go for meetings and where they have internet access and phone lines has a lot of momentum as you're talking to clients. But culture becomes the bigger hurdle. The perception is that if you're out at the picnic table, you're not really working very hard. There's a functional and cultural link in America to the landscape that runs in our blood, but connecting it to our corporate clients is a tough thing to do."The nature and scope of change vary by industry and geography. Radical workplace solutions were more enthusiastically embraced by the west-coast dot.com culture than in many other areas. But meaningful changes have been widely implemented and they are having a lasting effect. Multiple activity settings, facilities for socializing and recreation, and access to personal services in the workplace have created more diverse, multi-layered, urban-like environments. This trend is further reflected in the resurgence of traditional urban environments, an issue that we explore in our discussion of the corporate campus.Family MattersThe desire to balance the relationship between family and work in a 24/7 world emerged as a serious concern. While a number of participants pointed to Europe as a model, applauding the place of honor reserved there for social and family life outside the world of work, several design professionals suggested that the solution to ballooning work schedules might be inviting the family to the workplace. After all, they asked, if you don't have time to go home and interact with the kids, why not find ways to accommodate them at the office? Ernest Wong, landscape architect and principal of Site Design Group, said he finds taking work home unproductive. So he brings his children to the office where they play on their GameBoys while he conducts meetings. "I'm now preparing a new office to increase our space," he says "and adjoining it I'm creating a space for my mother, so that she can help with the kids."Some participants weren't sure all this is good for business. They claimed that the blend of office and personal life within the workplace sometimes results in less rigorous professional work. They struggle with the challenge of how to make the mix of family, personal and work life stimulate creativity.Not surprisingly, as workplaces become more informal and people spend so much time there that it starts to feel like home, there is a pronounced trend for corporate furnishings to become more residential in feel. Design professionals said they looked for comfortable, lightweight, moveable furniture for creating home-like settings in places such as hospitals and corporate environments. Some reported specifying higher-end versions of residential products to provide more personality and less institutional quality. And designers saw the overlap in residential and workplace design going in the other direction as well, pointing out that the kinds of spatial experiences and preferences expressed in the workplace are having implications for how people design their homes.Not Everybody Works 24/7The landscape architects, architects, designers and other professionals who met to discuss these issues were mindful of their atypical perspective as people in creative fields working with and for other creative types. As one participant reminded his peers, "Most standard rank-and-file corporate customers are not interested in having you bring your dog or your girlfriend to work." Robert Sutton, professor of Organizational Behavior and Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University, questioned the very assumption that work has changed so dramatically. "All the evidence we have is that there is a small percentage of highly paid people for whom it has changed, but for the rest of society work is pretty much as it always has been," he said. He, among others, voiced the conviction that workers in all situations require healthy, comfortable, supportive places to work and that design professionals must step up to the challenge. summary: The 24/7 global economy may not directly touch all workers, but it is having a profound effect on many, especially in the knowledge work and creative sectors. Although the cycles, protocols and tools of work have radically changed, the central workplace remains viable. Design professionals are players in the 24/7 world but many are ambivalent about the implications. Their challenge is to create flexible workplaces that support multiple modes of work and contribute to the humane balance between work and life. II. Technology: Real Spaces In a Virtual World Technology is everywhere. It's part of the infrastructure of our public spaces and, as anyone who has walked down a city street, waited in an airport terminal, or shopped at a mall can confirm, it is now in the hands of a very large portion of the human population. The ubiquity of personal technology—particularly mobile phones—has changed our experience in public spaces and breached the traditional boundaries between public and private behavior. As a result, the public realm has become more complex. Public space is not just a place for leisure or specific programmed activity. People are bringing new tools, behaviors and expectations into the mix, and that has major spatial ramifications.Nature Versus CulturePersonal technology is a worldwide phenomenon. People in China are as enamored by it as Americans and Europeans. Of course, as many participants observed, we don't have to talk on cell phones in all places and at all times—we choose to do it. They maintained that the real discussion is about behavior, not about the tools or the spaces in which they are used. In some parts of the world, notably Japan, etiquette defines cell phone behavior, but western culture has, for the most part, yet to develop generally accepted protocols around appropriate use. While one participant suggested that some rules are intuitive, citing as an example "no cell phones in church," another reported spotting a woman at the Duomo in Milan whose cell phone rang while she was kneeling in prayer. She took the call.Mark Johnson, principal of Civitas, Denver, argued that with new technologies we are seeing the expression of core attributes of human nature. "These things which facilitate us allow our true human nature to act. So even if protocol tells us not to talk on our cell phone while standing with others in line, we are going to do it anyway because the desire to communicate is in our nature. There are core elements that make us human, which are both genetic and cultural and which are now in question. I believe the genetics are starting to drive the culture rather than the other way around." Public Spaces: Generators Or Respite? Active measures to control the use of private technology in public spaces are beginning to appear. The equivalents of "no smoking" signs now prohibit the use of cell phones and laptops around some hotel pools. Certain golf courses in England and Scotland require guests to leave mobile phones with the course secretary before proceeding onto the greens. Amtrak has designated "quiet cars" on its New York to Washington Acela service in which the use of cell phones and laptops is prohibited. One participant reported dining in a restaurant in which a cell phone booth was installed right next to a standard model. Jamming devices are being employed to prevent cell phone reception in concert halls and museums. "Dead zones" are being created in some parks, via scrambling devices installed in outdoor furniture and structures, to limit the use of mobile technology in selected areas. At the same time, corporations and educational institutions are expanding technology infrastructure on their campuses, Chicago is installing coin-fed kiosks to provide technology access in city parks, and New York's Bryant Park now features wireless service. These developments reflect two competing points of view on the role of outdoor spaces in a technology-driven world. We might call them public space as respite versus public space as generator. The first defines outdoor spaces primarily as places for escape to which we repair to break with the daily grind and connect with the natural world. They are refuges to which we go to sit in the sun, watch the birds, read a book, chat with friends or simply stare into space. Advocates of outdoor spaces as respite cite the traditional role of the landscape architect as steward of the environment and creator of spaces that celebrate nature, and they warn against abdicating this important function. They defend the human need for a balance between density and relief and the importance of outdoor public spaces in providing alternative experiences. They worry about the loss of such opportunities in technology-saturated environments. Some participants argued that when significant amounts of technology are programmed into public space the platform for the space is tilted toward a particular group of users and away from others. Those who find technology intrusive may have little choice but to leave. In this respect, technology in public spaces can be anti-democratic. At the very least, it is a programming challenge."Creating spaces within public plazas where there is a natural deadening of noise or seclusion is just an extension of the concept of creating places that serve multiple social needs," said Arun Jain, chief urban designer, City of Portland Bureau of Planning. "It's not only being able to provide spaces that allow the opportunities for solitude or group activity that is important, but also being able to provide those that reduce ambient noise levels or chatter, encouraging the idea of public space as refuge."Some design professionals questioned the impact on civil society of personal technology in public spaces. They observed that people using cell phones and laptops may be connecting to people in their own circles, thereby behaving in a social way, but are at the same time engaging in behavior that is markedly anti-social to those around them. Architect Mark Rodgers offered an example that highlighted the conflict. He reported that the University of Denver is creating wireless communities on campus where students can move around freely while using the laptops that all undergraduates are now required to have. Predictably, they end up in places where coffee is served, places which have historically served to encourage random interaction—between students and faculty, younger students and older students, the athlete and the student of law. Instead, the university is finding that the technology intended to keep students connected is limiting face-to-face interaction and encouraging immersion in the virtual world. The Laptop And The Latte The proponents of public spaces as generators have a different vision. They see technology in public space as a step on the evolutionary ladder, one that reflects the reality of a changing world. Landscape architect Paul Shaw said one of his favorite places was a park with electrical outlets in tree wells because "it recognizes the ubiquity of the laptop and the latte." Others celebrate technology's facilitation of education and entertainment in the public realm. Emory University, among others, is now developing solutions for powering outdoor classrooms. Interactive technology using touch screens and related elements is being implemented in gardens, zoos and other venues across the country. Electronic billboards are already common in European capitals. Joe Parinella, a landscape architect at Universal Studios in Orlando, described generator nirvana in which hotels offer internet connections around the pool so mom and dad can work on laptops while watching the kids rock to underwater music. And where, in the future, visitors could use a Blackberry or PDA to interact with kiosks or games set up around the park. Some participants said they view technology in public spaces as a medium for democratic expression and an opportunity to embrace diversity. "The boom box is not anti-democratic," insisted landscape architect Lynn Wolff of Copley Wolff Design Group. "Music is very important to certain cultures. We're not designing parks just for Caucasian Americans. People from different cultures use parks in different ways and that's a problem we have to solve. The more democratic place is the one where you have diversity and you celebrate it." Several design professionals noted the advantages of clear way-finding and other information now available through technology in interactive kiosks like the transit tracker. "It's not how much information is out there," explained landscape architect Carol Mayer-Reed. "It's a matter of presenting it appropriately so that we do not feel bombarded and overloaded." A Chicago participant pointed out that, although 60 to 65 percent of Chicago workers commute by bus and train and many use laptops and cell phones, the acoustics in public transit are terrible and there's no place to plug in. He and others argued that, given the critical importance of mass transportation to the economy and the environment, transit facilities must incorporate technology to support the way we live and do business today.How Much Is To Much?Some proponents argued that technology in public spaces is necessary to lure the next generation out of doors. Opponents asked, "Is the only solution to getting people to use outside space giving them what they can have inside?" They worried about the power of technology to "anesthetize" spaces by encouraging global uniformity, ignoring the unique features of a site, and negating the sense of place. Some participants argued that it is possible to achieve a balance in which experience of the natural world and connection to the virtual world complement and feed off each other. New York's Bryant Park was cited as an example. There, people working on laptop computers share six acres in midtown with people who are eating lunch, playing cards, dozing in the sun, and enjoying the park's newest addition, the Reading Room, a designated reading area complete with magazines, newspapers and books on loan. Norman Mintz, design director of the Bryant Park Restoration Corp. and New York's 34th Street Partnership, says, "This is the most popular park per square foot in the country and part of our goal is to encourage as much diversity in activities as possible. Computer access adds to the diversity and usefulness of the park. This is a place for people to relax, and even people who are working on their computers are enjoying the break it provides." Designing With TechnologyFinally, in addition to personal and programming technology, participants noted the trend toward the use of technology in the design of outdoor public spaces. Computer-assisted design tools speed the design process, enable a freer exploration of possibilities, and allow designers to create presentation materials that help clients understand concepts and plans. Soil and drainage system technologies are enabling design solutions such as roof decks. Technology-driven improvements in lighting, paving systems and other components are making it possible to increase the quality of outdoor spaces while controlling costs. Design professionals reported that in some areas technology affords their clients greater choices, higher quality, more flexibility and better value.Participants also pointed to the use of technology in security, including cameras and other sophisticated tools, such as sensing mechanisms that signal when children wander to the perimeter of a space and track their safe return. And many participants heralded the use of sustainable technology including wind power, solar power and condensation recycling systems in site design. "If we are using technology in our design process that is sustainable and unseen," landscape architect Randy Sorensen of Carol R. Johnson Associates predicted, "We will preserve the sense of the landscape while giving spaces new versatility so that they perform as public spaces have never performed before." summary: Personal technology has changed the definition of privacy and our experience in public spaces. Programming technology is influencing the platforms for use of public space. Design professionals are sharply divided in their assessment of technology as a generator of activity on the one hand, and a threat to meaningful experience of the outdoors on the other. New technology in products, materials and design tools is helping professionals deliver innovative solutions to clients. III. The Corporate Campus: Dinosaur Or Evolving Species?Is the corporate campus on the endangered list? The broad consensus that emerged from our roundtables was that the opulent and iconic suburban campuses of the '80s and '90s are an idea whose time has come—and gone. One participant called them "white elephants." Another charitably suggested that, "We should preserve a couple of them." Nevertheless, the corporate campus does have its defenders. They argue that in some areas the campus is alive and quite well. New York architect David Smotrich cited Morgan Stanley as an example. After 9/11 this financial powerhouse moved most of its operations out of the city to the northern suburb of Westchester, which it perceived as a safer setting. The more widely-held perspective was articulated by Orlando landscape architect Lucina Selva. "It's an evolutionary process," she said. "Corporate campuses aren't going to die, they're going to be redefined." Indeed, there are strong signs that corporate and academic campuses are evolving to meet changing economic, social and environmental realities. At one end of the continuum, corporations such as TIAA-CREF, USA Today, Nike and Microsoft are building relatively isolated campuses, designing them to function as self-contained environments by including a huge range of services and amenities, from exercise facilities to day care centers, dry-cleaning pick up to take-home meals. At the other end, companies including Adidas, Vulcan Ventures and Southwestern Bell, and academic institutions such as Grand Valley University, the University of Denver and The Savannah College of Art and Design, are moving into city centers and/or expanding their presence there. In between, other companies are breaking down the barriers between their campuses and adjacent communities, implementing public transportation solutions, and partnering with other corporations and public entities to create mixed-use campuses that serve a wide range of users. The Drivers Of ChangeNumerous factors are driving the changes in how we think about and design corporate campuses. Ex-urban campuses require costly infrastructure and use resources that, in less isolated settings, might be shared. Locating campuses in areas remote from population centers encourages sprawl and contributes to a growing transportation crisis. Remote campuses require workers to spend hours a day in automobiles, consume large parcels of land for parking lots and garages, and contribute to highway congestion and pollution. The rising cost of real estate makes investment in big, individual campuses an expensive and risky business. Initial costs are high and specific programming and design may make facilities hard to re-sell. Long-term maintenance costs are significant, driving many companies to prefer leasing to owning. And in difficult economic times, when corporations want to prove to their shareholders that they are fiscally responsible, large campuses may not deliver the desired message. Some corporations are reducing risk by building campuses consisting of several small flexible structures, rather than a single large one, enabling the campus to be fully occupied if the company is doing well and sub-leased if the business contracts.Technology and the reliance on outsourcing are enabling some companies to shrink the size of their facilities. Many corporations are looking at ways other than icon campuses to convey identity by, for example, investing in high-profile projects or advertising in the communities in which the consumers of their products and services live. Participants suggested that the long-term impact of the post 9/11 need for greater security is not yet clear, and that many more corporations might be reconsidering the risks of concentrating their operations in a single location.The evolution of the corporate campus is also being driven by changes in lifestyle and a growing concern for quality of life. Workers are more conscious of transportation and health issues. Fewer workers are willing to endure long hours in their cars and wide separation from their homes, families and social life. Knowledge workers, especially younger workers, show a preference for living, working and playing in urban areas. Landscape architect Jerry Shapins of Shapins Associates observed: "The very notion of campus implies over-consumption of resources, uniformity of approach and a single aesthetic. Complexity is much more flexible. The campus is too simplistic given our current economic climate and the evolving status of the world."Multi-Tenant/Mixed UseDesign professionals in our discussions reported a movement away from the single-use, single-tenant campus toward mixed-use centers. They noted that many corporations are seeking less expensive office space and that smart developers are responding by building campuses that serve multiple tenants with relatively inexpensive offices and high-level shared amenities, such as sports facilities, outdoor dining and day care. The approach has proved a successful leasing strategy in many parts of the country.

I never leave reviews although I know I should. However, I have to say that these pants are worth it. We are completely satisfied with the product we ordered. The pants themselves were very, very reasonable in price. They wash very well and resist the flour, grease, and grime of a restaurant. They also resist wrinkling. My ONLY complaint is because of where we live, the shipping is killer, but the product was worth it!

How does moisture get into a fiberglass hull, and what happens when it does? B.W., via e-mail
If your boat was built using polyester resin, keep a close eye out for blisters, although damage can occur without their appearance. Fortunately, they often can be easily and quickly repaired before the laminate is damaged by hydrolysis. Addressing the problem as soon as possible is vital.
Without a core sample, moisture content is difficult to ascertain. The suspect areas must be as dry as possible before work can begin. During this process, which can include tenting, using dehumidifiers, and keeping the interior and bilges dry, you can use a pinless moisture meter. However, most experts agree that a moisture meter should not be the sole determinant, and readings should be done at regular intervals above and below the waterline along the entire length of the hull.
Another method of determining moisture content is to tape a six-by-six-inch square of six-mil plastic to several locations on the hull, both above and below the waterline, sealing the edges tightly. As the hull dries, moisture condenses on the plastic. Remove the squares every few days, note the amount of condensation, and apply new squares until little or no moisture is present. This is a relative test of moisture content, meaning you must account for changing humidity and temperature.
Qualified personnel familiar with the intricacies of the job should be called in with this kind of problem. Gougeon Brothers, manufacturer of the WEST SYSTEM® line of products, has an excellent series of manuals that deal with this and other fiberglass problems.

The Redlands Conservancy will start its 20th year of activities and projects aimed at encouraging the preservation of the city's historic built environment and agricultural and natural environments.
"The historic buildings, the lush citrus groves, and the natural open places give Redlands its distinctive character," said Robert Dawes, Redlands Conservancy president. "We believe these should be around for many more generations of Redlanders and visitors to understand and enjoy. That's our mission."
On Feb. 26, the Redlands Conservancy and the Redlands Area Historical Society will repeat the 2012 Historic Preservation Workshop with City Council, city staff, Planning Commission and Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission to further explore the many facets of historic preservation in Redlands - why it's important, what has been accomplished in the past year and where the city wants to go from here.
The community is invited to the workshop, which will be announced formally at a later date.
On March 20, the Conservancy will invite the public to attend the annual membership meeting where members will receive the 2012 Annual Report, elect board members and officers and enjoy a program. Location will be announced later.
Also in March will be the annual Parties for the Necklace kickoff party when Redlanders and visitors will be able to explore the 2013 Parties for the Necklace lineup and be first in line to make their reservations.
April will feature the Spring Trails at 10 series of three trail excursions on Redlands' trails. One of the hikes will take participants to the Conservancy's Mentone property where Conservancy board members recently explored the historic Judson-Brown ditch, built in 1881, according to records. Another hike will take participants to the city's newly acquired open space property in Live Oak Canyon.
For one week in May, the Conservancy and the Redlands Area Historical Society will co-host the third annual Redlands Historic Preservation Week, with several events that will allow Redlanders to explore various issues of historic preservation. Plans so far include a Redlands Forum program on "The Greenest Building," guided tours by the Redlands Area Historical Society, recognition of structures built in 1888 or before, and a walking tour of Redlands' downtown historic buildings.
Details on these and all Redlands Conservancy are in the planning stages and will be available soon. For more information about the Redlands Conservancy, visit redlandsconservancy.org or call 909-389-7810.

In the historic black church, praying, preaching, and singing
are viewed as the three pillars of religious life. Before
African-Americans were allowed open access to the pulpit or were
provided the space and opportunity for prayer, the enslaved in the
United States created and shared communal songs. The music of the
enslaved, the spirituals, contained the seeds of theology: a
theology focused on freedom, resistance, and a quest for humanity.
Black sacred music eventually evolved beyond spirituals and
continued through several identifiable phases including prayer and
praise songs, black meter music, hymns of improvisation, and
historic and modern gospel music. Each of the musical phases
corresponds to various time periods in the history of African
Americans and reflects not only varying musical styles and
typographies, but also various struggles in the African-American
community at given points in time. Come join us to learn more about
gospel music and how it reflects the religious history of the
African-American community and experience.

The beef with fellow hot producer Scott Storch who asserts that Timbo took credit for Storch's work on Justin Timberlake's latest album and other projects is stupid certainly as as a public hip hop tet-a-tet.
You're both millionaires, you both work contstantly, shut up no one cares,keep making us dance
As for Timbo's new album it's kind of a wreck....actually it kind of sucks. Despite the fact that Q-Tip Lite (aka Magoo) is nowhere to be found.

Old English wegan "find the weight of, have weight, lift, carry," from Proto-Germanic *weganan (cf. Old Saxon wegan, Old Frisian wega, Dutch wegen "to weigh," Old Norse vega, Old High German wegan "to move, carry, weigh," German wiegen "to weigh"), from PIE *wegh- "to move" (cf.

The original sense was of motion, which led to that of lifting, then to that of "measure the weight of." The older sense of "lift, carry" survives in the nautical phrase weigh anchor. Figurative sense of "to consider, ponder" (in reference to words, etc.) is recorded from mid-14c.

Nieves - from Mexico, Mexico
Most cake recipes can be made as cupcakes instead, but the baking time decreases significantly. Regular size cupcakes can be fully baked in as little as 17 minutes, but might take longer depending on the batter. To check if they're fully baked, insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, they're ready to come out of the oven. If there are crumbs or wet batter on the toothpick, it needs a few extra minutes.

What kind of mousse are u using?@RollTideGal
I also use LaBella too sometimes. I have found my basic tried and true method but like you said it has to be modified due to outside conditions etc.
I think the last way I applied it is very similar to how you described in that I focused on my ends first but I used the KCCC just for that and then I used my big tub of cheap gel for bulk part of my hair.....but I added a final step of going back and adding more KCCC to the ends again. This is because I'm constantly adding more water and I think it's washing away some of the product.
Overall I like using the conditioner as my leave in especially because I have times when I just say no to gel for weeks. Occasionally I use moose when I'm on a gel strike.
Any thoughts or techniques for moose?
iMessage on iOS5
My technique for applying mousse is after my normal cowash/RI/LI routine, blot hair with old shirt & then section off hair applying mousse to each section. I love mousse but can't find something that's CG near me.

Cowboy lassos gunman at rodeo
(NEWSER) – Things got rowdy at a rodeo in Bartow County, Georgia, over the weekend when guests asked a drunk man to leave. Instead, police say Celestino Moras, 25, stood up and started shooting, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution. One other unidentified person also started firing, and four people ended up with minor injuries by the time the dust had cleared. But the absolute best detail comes from WSB-TV, which reports that when Moras finally ran out of bullets, a rodeo cowboy lassoed him. The crowd then held him until police arrived to charge him with aggravated assault.

Schools in Norway reschedule midterms because of Justin Bieber concert
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
Bieber Fever has taken over one Norwegian city. Five schools in the Aspelund region of the country are being forced to reschedule their midterm exams to avoid a conflict with Justin Bieber's concerts.
According to "The Los Angeles Times" about 500 students who live in that part of the country have tickets to his Oslo shows later this month, and the eight-hour-long drive back from the capital would mean they would have to skip school and miss exams.
One of the school's principals told local broadcaster NRK that they realized it was "a battle" that they just "could not win this time."
Bieber himself seemed amused by the school's scheduling conflicts, tweeting a link to the story on Wednesday, with the caption "love this."

Pelvic exercises
I heard that pregnant women should do pelvic exercises. Is this important? Will there be a complication later on if I don't do these exercises?
10th May 2014 07:19 AM #2
Yes pelvic floor exercises are important in pregnancy. The pelvic floor controls your bladder and bowel movements. A strong pelvic floor means that you will not leak urine when you sneeze, exercise or cough. It also means your uterus is less likely to drop and feel heavy later in life. Women who have strong pelvic floor muscles tend to have more satisfying sex lives.
In pregnancy, extra stress and weight is put on the pelvic floor. This means that it is importat to do daily pelvis floor exercises which are known as kegels. There is some evidence that doing this will also help you to control these muscles better in pregnancy and so is less likely to lead to you tearing or needing an episiotomy.
With warm wishes,

The attackers IP address is 192.168.1.100. When I enter the ip address (http://192.168.1.100) on the attackers machine the fake website shows up; however, when I enter the ip address (http://192.168.1.100) on my victim laptop and desktop computers, there is no website but a blank page.
I've watched alot of tutorials and they didnt mention needing to ARP the victim computers for the website to appear. However, I tried this approach. So I went ahead and ARPed the victim computers and set up sslstrip with the following commands and the website shows up on my victim machines; however, metasploit does not seem to be listening to the interaction as I have accepted the java applet on my victim machines but there is no notification on the msf console.
These are the commands that brought up the website on the victim comps at the 192.168.1.100 ip address but still did not work with the msfconsole
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port
python sslstrip.py -a
arpspoof -i wlan0 -t [victim ip] [Router ip]
ettercap -T -q -i wlan0 -P dns_spoof
Note: I can do the attack completely without ettercap of course, but as soon as I take out sslstrip, the website stops loading again on the victims comp
Here are the settings I've chosen for the website clone

3. Custom Import

Conclusion: Website not showing on victims computers until ARP and sslstrip are introduced; however, metasploit does not seem to be able to hear when sslstrip is running. Possible IP table issue? Would appreciate your input...
***Edit: I have fixed the IP tables so that the website appears on the victims machine without ARPing the victims computer and using sslstrip simpy by rebooting. However, still nothing is happening with Metasploit still after I accept the Java applet. Any ideas what I'm leaving out?
Update 2: The test seems to be working flawlessly on windows xp comps. I thought with the latest update that the software said that windows 7 was now vulnerable as well. Perhaps not. Sometimes Randomly the msf will announce it's sending but no sessions are created. Most of the time when I accept the java applet with my windows 7 laptop nothing happens at all.
***Another Engineering Social Toolkit Error I'm encountering is with sendmail which has a history of giving alot of beginners such as myself alot of problems. I've been reading up on it but I ran into the latest error of "Something went wrong, printing the error: (530: '5.7.0 MUST ISSUE A STARTTLS COMMAND FIRST . I am attempting to send with a Gmail account.

Getting around Costa Rica can sometimes be very difficult. Roads are often in disrepair, and their conditions worsen as heavy rains carve out potholes and landslides wash away hillside highways. Street signs have, until recently, been nonexistent over much of the country. Most difficult for visitors, however, is the way in which most Costa Ricans give directions.
Although downtown streets all have names and numbers, few Costa Ricans ever actually use these names or numbers in giving directions. Businesses rarely use these street designations in advertising their own locations. Instead, most people give directions using landmarks. They describe a location by giving its distance, in meters from a particular landmark. Thus, a restaurant might be 200 meters east of the Children's Hospital or 40 meters south of the Cathedral. One hundred meters is approximately one city block.
These kinds of landmark directions are relatively straightforward, if one is familiar with the landmark. However, Costa Ricans often use landmarks that no longer exist. A main downtown bus station is the "Coca-Cola," which is no longer a bottling company and has no current relevance to soft drinks at all. In fact, "la Coca-Cola" looks very much like an ordinary city bus terminal. "La Luz" is a landmark in the Los Yoses neighborhood, and it refers to a little grocery store that once stood on the corner there. Several businesses have since occupied that particular corner, and none is now called "La Luz." However, the landmark still exists in the minds of Costa Ricans. "El Higuerón" is an important San Pedro landmark, even though the large tree to which it refers has since been pruned so drastically that it now resembles a small potted plant. Taxi drivers talk about distances from "El Coco," which is the old name for the Juan Santamaría international airport.
Sometimes, Costa Ricans give directions that suggest movement in themselves. A store's location might be "heading toward Limón" or "on the way to the intersection with the highway."
In general, Costa Rican directions contain within them a sense of the country's geographic history and a feeling of the movement that travel engenders.

Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College athletics department is pleased to announce the hiring of Ginny Alexander as Assistant Athletics Director for Compliance and Academic Services.
"I am excited to announce the hiring of our new Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance & Academic Services, Ginny Alexander," stated Athletics Director Kim Pate. "Ginny brings thirteen years experience working in college athletics as an administrator, coach, and student-athlete. Not only does she understand the unique offerings of the Division II experience, she has a passion for helping student-athletes succeed beyond the court or playing field," continued Pate. "I expect Ginny will make an immediate positive impact in our department, on our campus, and in our community and I'm thrilled she has chosen to join our administrative team."
Alexander, who is a native of Jacksonville, Florida, comes to Brevard College by way of Converse College in Spartanburg, S.C. where last season she served as the volleyball head coach and was in charge of the CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Lives for Personal Success) Life Skills Program for the student-athletes.
Alexander began her career in athletics in 1987 at her alma mater, Fletcher High School in Jacksonville Beach, Florida where she served as the assistant volleyball and softball coach. She then went on to become the graduate assistant coach at Western Kentucky University for one year before serving as the assistant volleyball coach at Michigan State from 1989-1991. Following her two seasons with the Spartans, Alexander became the head men's volleyball coach at Bowling Green State University while completing her Master's Degree. Coach Alexander's next stop was in Pennsylvania where she served as the Head Volleyball Coach at NCAA Division I institutions Drexel University (1992) and Temple University (1993 & 1994). While at Drexel, Alexander's team finished second in the North Atlantic Conference and eclipsed the 20 win mark. During her time at Temple, Coach Alexander led the Owls to their best season in the program's history up until that time. For her efforts, Alexander was named the Atlantic 10 Conference Coach of the Year. She also coached the team's first ever Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Following her post at Temple, Alexander became the head coach at Utah State University. Coach Alexander recruited and coached the Aggies' first Big West Freshman of the Year as well as the program's first Big West First Team All-Conference player and Freshman All-American. In 1997, under Alexander's leadership, the Aggies' achieved the most wins since 1983. In addition, Coach Alexander served as the Chair for the Big West Conference Volleyball Coaches and also served on several NCAA committees. She was one of two coaches selected by the University President to serve on the University Advisory Committee for NCAA Certification.
After her four year stint at USU, Alexander spent time at San Diego State University developing the CHAMPS Life Skills Program for over 500 student-athletes.
In the fall of 2007, Alexander was the Head Volleyball Coach at Asheville High School where she also taught physical education and health classes. Prior to moving to Asheville, Coach Alexander served as the Director of Programs for the Police Athletic League (P.A.L.) in Jacksonville, Florida. While at P.A.L., Alexander also created and directed the P.A.L. volleyball teams and trained the coaches (many of who were present & former collegiate players). During her five year career in youth development, Alexander served as co-Chair and Chair of the First Coast Girls Initiative (FCGI), one of the largest girl's coalitions in the country. She and other members of the FCGI went on to create an annual event called Girl's Day serving over 400 lower socio economic girls in Jacksonville, Florida.
Alexander completed her undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice at the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) in 1986 where she played for the Blazers for three years after competing one year at Lake City Community College (FL) in both volleyball and softball. Alexander received 2nd Team All Sun Belt Conference at UAB and1st Team All-Conference in volleyball at Lake City Community College where she was also a member of the National Championship Junior College softball team. Alexander earned her Master of Science Degree in Education (Health, Physical Education and Recreation) in 1992 from Bowling Green State University in Ohio.

New legislation and the growing importance of data in the information age require that company directors and managers take actions to protect their data. Offsite Backups will ensure you have a potentially serious business risk under control.
Lost files or documents, computer downtime and corrupted disk drives are the bane of any office. These incidents are also sources of significant, hidden costs. Even though a company thinks its backup is on tape, this is often not the case. In addition, tape restores (if they don't fail) can cost a lot of IT staff time, and a lot of downtime for the rest of the company.
- Risk reduction - the vulnerability of your organization having incomplete backups is virtually eliminated, giving you peace of mind.
- Disaster contingency - the service has inherent disaster recovery capabilities thereby allowing your company to continue in spite of unforeseen natural or human created disasters. This ensures business and revenue continuity.

The U.S. government, sometimes referred to as the "federal" government, has decided that a number of activities are criminal. These federal crimes are typically very serious and are tried in federal courts under special federal rules of procedure. Some examples of federal crimes include the use of biological weapons, acts of civil disorder, kidnapping, and racketeering, just to name a few. If you are accused of a federal crime, you should enlist the services of a federal crime lawyer who works with these federal laws and understands the federal courts and their procedures. This lawyer will be familiar not only with the elements of the crime you are charged with, but also with the defenses available to you.

Make sure your cell phone and laptop are charged- primetime tv has taken an interactive turn! Sunday night's launch of "The Glee Project" on Oxygen featured a social media component to engage viewers across the country, and as a result, chatter about the series premiere took Twitter and Facebook by storm. Similarly, the tv show's parent company, NBC Universal, has launched live stream discussions on other shows, like NBC's "The Voice," and Oxygen's "The World According to Paris."

Veterans Day and the 30th Anniversary of the Vietnam Memorial Wall
Remarks of Eric K. Shinseki
Veterans Day and the 30th Anniversary of the Vietnam Memorial Wall
November 11, 2012
Washington, DC
November 11, 2012
Welcome home, everybody.
Barry [General McCaffrey]—thank you for that kind introduction. And thanks, as well, for your many years of leadership in the Army and for this Nation. Your early reputation as a warfighter is part of why I remained in uniform.
- Jan Scruggs—thank you and your board for your leadership and determination. Because of you, we stand on hallowed ground today;
- Korean Defense Attaché, Major General Lee Seo-Young—the friendship and alliance of our nations remain as important today as they were when we fought side-by-side, first, in Korea, and then, in Vietnam. Katchi kapshida;
- General Tilelli—former-Commander, U.N. Command and U.S. Forces, Korea—thank you for your leadership as well;
- Distinguished war correspondent, Joe Galloway, and his wife, Grace. About three weeks ago, CSM Basil Plumley, 1-7 Cav, was laid to rest at Ft. Benning, Georgia. Vietnam was Basil Plumley's third war: Four combat parachute assaults in World War II and one more in Korea—all before going into the Ia Drang Valley with Hal Moore and the Garry Owen. Joe delivered CSM Plumley's eulogy with all the eloquence and emotion one combat Veteran reserves for another. Joe and Grace, it's good to see you again;
- Deputy Secretary Scott Gould, Under Secretary Allison Hickey, other VA colleagues;
- Some very special guests:
- ➢ Gold Star Mothers—Mary Byers;
- ➢ Gold Star Wives—Debra Kraus;
- ➢ Sons and Daughters In Touch—Tony Cordero;
- Other Veterans service organizations who have helped us to better serve Veterans;
- And most importantly—fellow Vietnam Veterans and your families;
- Other distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
I'm greatly honored to be here today—as a Vietnam Veteran and as an American who finds personal solace and comfort in this memorial, whenever I visit. It speaks of our generation's honor and sacrifice in war roughly 50 years ago. I first visited this memorial on a summer evening in 1985—nearly three years after its unveiling. I had planned on attending the dedication ceremony in November 1982 with friends from the Pentagon, where we were all assigned. We had eagerly anticipated the ceremony, but as sometimes happens in the military, I received short-notice reassignment orders in June 1982, sending me overseas. Others later described a ceremony that had moved them to tears. Those reports planted the seeds for my own visit here, as a priority.
And so, upon returning to Washington nearly three years later, I came here on that summer evening in 1985. There were no walkway lights then, as I recall. But, in the gathering dusk, from whatever approach I could have taken, this black Wall seemed to emerge out of a cut in the ground and, with the precision of its angles, cast even greater solemnity and power on its surroundings—a mix of emotions about loss, about pain, of innocence ceded, and young lives too soon relinquished.
I was moved. All who fought in Vietnam came home changed—older than our years, tougher, more serious, no less vital—but somehow less lighthearted.
At a distance, the Wall is sternly black. As you get closer, it begins to take on texture as etchings become visible. From six-to-ten feet, the inscriptions are legible—at least, they were when I, and my eyes, were younger.
At last light, I found and touched the names of fellow soldiers:
- Hilario Leanio and Gary Kawamura—fallen high school friends;
- Gary Kadetz—one of the first of my 25 West Point classmates to fall in battle;
- And Medal of Honor recipient Joe Grant, and First Sergeant Yoshiiwa Nagato, both of whom were Golden Dragons with me in the 25th Infantry Division.
As I touched each of their names, I could feel the power of the Wall connecting; each touch brought a face and a flood of memories from times past. Release one name, touch the next, another connection; another flood of memories. Not the Wall, but the names on it, evoked this power of connection. The Wall was merely the medium. It remains so, even today.
Others may attest that, in touching names you know, you reach back in time and connect with those who remain as young and as vibrant as when you last saw them. In that instant, this granite memorial and the visitor are one. No other monument I know of attains this level of intimacy.
I don't know whether Maya Lin, the architect who designed this memorial, intended to create a time capsule of the heart, but that is what this Wall has become for those of us who grew up in Vietnam.
Here, 58,282 fallen Americans remain forever brave, forever young, forever vibrant whenever their names are caressed by fingers of loving spouses, parents, children who grew into adulthood without a parent, mourning friends—hands reaching out in remembrance, in sadness, and in reverence. The Wall does have the power to uplift and offer a measure of healing.
Fifty years. Historians tell us that is officially how much time has passed since Americans first strode into combat in Vietnam. From LZ X-Ray in the Ia Drang, to Nui Ba Dinh, The Iron Triangle, Tuy Hoa, Parrot's Beak, The Rockpile, Ban Me Thuot, Khe Sahn, Con Thien, Dak To, Plei Me, Hamburger Hill, and the thousands of other fighting places between the Delta and the DMZ, in and out of Vietnam, where boys became men in the time it took to chamber that first round. The surprise of Tet '68, unspeakable horrors of the Hanoi Hilton, and the plight of POWs still missing—memories flood as though it were yesterday. Time stands still; images remain sharp and clear. There is power here, as well—that sense of timelessness.
And when generations of Americans too young to know anything about the Vietnam War come to visit—hand-in-hand with someone who might have experienced loss—this Wall must become compassionate teacher. Its primary lesson, here in stark display, is the human cost of war. There is power in this lesson.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, in its continuing mission to honor, educate, and heal, is moving forward with plans to build an education center here at the Memorial. That center will add to the sanctity of this hallowed ground and its inspiration in granite.
Three million men and women in uniform returned from Vietnam, grateful to resume their lives again. We are, in some cases, just now beginning to care for them the way we should have decades ago. We pledge that this work will go on. In caring for them, we honor the 58,282 who are memorialized here.
Today, 50 years later, young Americans, again, shoulder the burdens of a long war—pitting freedom, liberty, and justice against hatred, fear, and oppression. In Iraq and Afghanistan, American men and women have demonstrated America's commitment to its founding principles. We are grateful for their service, their sacrifice, and their commitment. They and their families remind me of another time when young Americans shouldered the burdens of a long war.
Let us vow to better care for this generation. We need your generation, our generation, to help point the way. Thank you for your service. Help us get this right. Welcome home!
God bless the memories of those whose names are inscribed on this Wall, and their families. God bless those who serve and have served our Nation in uniform, and may God continue to bless this great country of ours.
Thank you.

The blessedness of Him who understands and enters into the position of the poor of the flock
Psalm 41 shows the blessedness of the man who understands this position of the poor of the flock and enters into it (compare Matt. 5: 3; Luke 6: 20). It is spoken in the person of one of the suffering remnant doubtless with the psalmist's own experience. It is one of the psalms in which Christ takes up an expression to show how, in the close of His life, when He entered into their sorrows, He tasted fully their bitterness. Still the poor man is upheld in his integrity, and set before Jehovah's face. The apparent triumph of the wicked is short.
This closes the book. It is the experience, as a whole, of the remnant before they are driven out, or at the least of those who are not so. And the covenant name of Jehovah is used. Hence, the place of Christ is entered into, so far as He came and set Himself amongst the poor of the flock upon earth, and led the life of sorrow and integrity in the midst of evil. Of this last psalm He is not the subject, as verse 4 shows.
The subject of the first book
We have seen an introduction in the first eight psalms, in which the whole scene is brought before us in its principles and result in the purpose of God; then in Psalms 9, 10, the actual historical circumstances of the Jews in the latter day. Thus, as to historical facts, their state forms the groundwork and subject of the whole book; while the way in which Christ could enter into their sorrows, and they be encouraged by His example, is fully introduced. His whole life amidst the nation is passed in review; but particularly the close, when, after declaring God's righteousness in the great congregation, He passed into the deep sufferings of the last hours of His passage on earth, going on to His being forsaken of God. Yet it was for Him surely for us, blessed be God the path of life.
The peculiar interest of psalm 40
Psalm 40 has this peculiar interest, that it gives us, not merely the history of Christ, His faithfulness, but His freely offering Himself to accomplish all that the Father's counsels required of Him; and then shows Him waiting in obedience till Jehovah was pleased to come in. And then He has the new song to sing. Of this intervention of God the resurrection was the grand witness; through which, as we have seen in Psalm 22, He has awakened, or rather created, it in so many other hearts As is common, the first three verses give the thesis the rest all that led up to this: only here it is traced from His first offering Himself to do it.
Additional remarks as to psalm 41
The reader will remark in Psalm 41 what we have noticed as characterising the remnant the acknowledgment of sin (v. 4), and the declaration of integrity (v. 12). We have Christ using it as to Himself, showing, though the psalm be not of Him, how He took the place to which the spirit of the whole applies. The proud and wicked could despise and trample upon the meek and lowly, and perhaps chastened, remnant. Here it is more the false and treacherous spirit of those whom he ought to have been able to trust. Blessedness is with those who understand, the meek and lowly ones who are chastened, for they understand the Lord's ways; the meek one himself looks to the Lord when His hand is upon him. The point of the psalm is the blessedness of those who understand and enter into the position of those with whom Jehovah is dealing. This place, Christ fully took, though not chastened with sickness.Synopsis by John Darby

Garages had been cut in half by falling timber. Telephone and electrical poles had fallen and service was cut in several communities. When the tornado struck a home in Deerfield it threw a man into the yard and killed a woman inside. The couple's three-month-old grandson survived.

Oats in Iowa suffer from two major diseases, crown rust and barley yellow dwarf virus. Crown rust appears as orange leaf pustules and also causes yellowing and death of the leaves. Severely affected plants are stunted and produce little grain. The disease usually first appears in late May and can remain active throughout the rest of the season. Spores can be windblown long distances, but in Iowa some initial infections are the result of spread from local buckthorn shrubs. Buckthorn is the alternate host of the crown rust fungus, Puccinia coronata. Overwintering teliospores germinate and produce basidiospores that infect buckthorn. In turn, aeciospores from the buckthorn plants infect oats. Once the disease has spread into an oat field it can move quickly from plant to plant by the urediniospores, which are the familiar orange spores. Under wet conditions, this disease can reduce yields severely. In 1993, rust was a major factor in the very poor oat crop. Yield loss due to rust is affected by planting date. When oats are planted late, they are smaller when first infected, and the disease has a longer period of time to develop on the plants and spread to more plants.
Barley yellow dwarf virus causes extreme stunting and discoloration of the leaves. Leaf blotches that are yellow, orange, or red will develop until entire leaves are involved. Plants along the edges of fields are usually affected first. Severely affected plants produce little or no grain. The virus can infect all cereal grains, corn, and grass weeds. This disease is spread by several species of aphids, which are more active under warm conditions in the late spring and summer. Plants infected in the seedling stage are the most severely damaged. Early- planted oats typically suffer less yield loss because they are older during the period of the greatest aphid activity.
Average planting date for oats in Iowa is April 20. If oats are planted in a cold, wet soil, they will be affected by seedling blights, but if the soil is dry enough, earlier planting will help reduce losses to crown rust and barley yellow dwarf. Some oat cultivars also have resistance to these diseases, and it is advisable to plant these cultivars in Iowa, because both diseases are potentially severe each year. For rust, some previously resistant cultivars are now susceptible, but there are still some that are considered resistant (AC Stewart, Blaze, Jerry, Jud, Belle, Paul, Gem, Valley) or moderately resistant. For barley yellow dwarf, no cultivars are highly resistant, but several have adequate resistance--in the Iowa State University 1997 Oat Performance Test, the variety Classic demonstrated the best resistance. See the Iowa Crop Performance Test - Oats for further information on resistance ratings to both diseases.

Saturday is National Prescription Pill Take-Back Day
Saturday the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, the Sacramento Police Department and other local agencies will take part in a nationwide prescription pill take-back day.
You can drop off your leftover and unwanted prescription medicines at the Sacramento Police Department Headquarters on Freeport Boulevard between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Alan Bass with the DEA says the idea is prevent misuse of leftover prescription medicines, especially by kids.
"The majority of prescription drugs that are being abused are coming directly from our family and our friends -- which includes your medicine cabinet -- so we're trying to prevent that," he said.
They don't want hypodermic needles or injectable medicines, but even cough syrups are acceptable. Over the past six previous take-back events, the DEA and local law enforcement were responsible for disposal of near 14,000 tons of pills.
