The first Test match between England and South Africa is like an extended phoney war. Both teams, neutered by caution, have been so apprehensive of sustaining a mortal blow that they have been unable to deliver one.
Dale Steyn, the outstanding fast bowler on either side, was fit to play in this match, by all accounts, but it was felt that the tightness of his hamstring threatened to put him out of future Tests had he played here. The same with Jacques Kallis, the monster from the oxygen chamber, who has been turning his arm over in recent weeks but he has not bowled here for fear of risking his fitness to bowl in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg.
England preferred to pick Ian Bell, Test cricket's eternal cherub, than field a balanced attack (to play four bowlers, two of them must be outstanding) and selected an ordinary one instead.
This pitch is no beauty. It was green and patchy at the start and today it went down with mange. It was brown and desultory but mostly unhelpful and well though England bowled they were struggling by the torpor of mid-afternoon. Yesterday there was some humidity – promising, perhaps, thunderstorms, to save one side or the other – and sitting on the banks of the ground, watching the braai smoke blow by, England's toiling cricketers appeared to be steaming along with the afternoon tea.
James Anderson has been described as the spearhead of England's attack, the leader of the pack, but he is more a diffident follower than a leader, although he still took wickets. Today there was not much pace either, so that Matt Prior, the wicketkeeper, stood up to him with some comfort. Stuart Broad was more like his young self and England were persevering if not exactly penetrating. It is the batsmen, though, who must perform tomorrow.
If they do so it will a parting gift to Graham Gooch, their mentor-coach, who returns to England. Gooch, a Test cricketer for 20 years, is England's leading run-scorer, 14 years after his retirement. But more than that he has an enduring passion for the game. He started his England career with a pair which, he says with a smile, he carries in his surname.
Last night a few of us took him out to dinner and he talked cricket from the first, chilled glass of sauvignon blanc until the last coffees were drained. Do modern cricketers talk the game in the same obsessive way? It seems not, which is a pity, because a thinking cricketer, a curious cricketer, is a good cricketer, too. This has been one of Gooch's mantras while he has been with the players for the past couple of weeks – to think for themselves. "Once they cross that white line they must be their own coaches," he says. Another of his favourites is: "If you fail to prepare to prepare to fail."
It is a small irony that the bigger England's back-room staff, the higher the number of coaches and analysts (and there has been one back-room man for each player in South Africa) the more tempting it is for the player not to think for himself.
The players, though, have adored Gooch on this trip. He will, it seems, like General MacArthur, return.

Nick Stavinoha is set to make his Major League arrival on Sunday, and when he officially takes the field, the outfielder will become the ninth player to make his big league debut this season for the Cardinals.
Long criticized for their draft efforts, the Cardinals drafted seven of the nine making their initial MLB appearances this season. The other two, Rico Washington and Brian Barton, came from other organizations.
is a look at the year each player was drafted, including other players from
their draft class to debut before this season. (The first number is the 2008
count, followed by the total number of
Class of 2001 (1/3)
When Joe Mather was called up last month, he became the third player from the 2001 First-Year Player draft to make their big league debut with the Cardinals. Mather was a third round selection who had become bogged down in the low minors before a breakout season in 2007 that was capped with a spot on the forty-man roster.
Like Mather, the first two who made their debuts were top five picks as well. Second round pick Dan Haren had his introduction in 2003, starting fourteen games for the Cardinals. In 2004, Haren made five starts before serving as a crucial piece of the bullpen for the pennant winners. Fifth round selection Skip Schumaker saw his first big league action with 24 at bats in 2005. Schumaker bounced back and forth from the majors to the minors over the next two seasons before settling in as the team's primary leadoff hitter in 2008.
Class of 2002 (1/2)
Drafted in 2002 in the 25th round, local boy Kyle McClellan came out of nowhere to earn a roster spot on the 2008 ballclub. A starter most of his minor league career, McClellan was switched to the bullpen after repeated arm injuries. The 24-year-old flourished in his new role and was put on the 40-man roster after his breakout season in 2007. Scheduled to return to starting in 2008, he instead remained in the pen due to an opportunity at the major league level.
Brad Thompson was the first and only player from that draft to previously make his debut for the Cardinals. The 16th round choice made 40 appearances out of the bullpen in 2005.
Class of 2003 (0/2)
no player taken in the 2003 First-Year Player draft has made their debut for
Class of 2004 (2/2)
The much-maligned 2004 draft has seen two selections make their debut. Ninth round pick Mike Parisi made his beginning in the bullpen and has also made two starts for the team. Mark Worrell, their 12th round selection, provided solid middle relief and also became the eighth Cardinal in history to hit a home run in first major league at bat.
Class of 2005 (3/3)
As much as the 2004 draft has been slammed, the 2005 draft has been praised. Many of the organization's top prospects were selected during this draft and two made their debut this season. Fifth round pick Mitchell Boggs has made four appearances including three starts.
College closer Chris Perez was selected in the supplemental first round with the purpose of being fast tracked through the team's minor league system. That has been the case as Perez spent only one full season in the minors before making his debut after being called up from Triple-A Memphis.
Seventh round pick Nick Stavinoha is set to arrive in the bigs on Sunday and will be the third.

Minutes: R. Barden moved approval of the April 13, 2009 minutes. T. McIlroy seconded. Motion carried.
Bills for Payment/Financial Statements: J. Pugh, J. Hanson, and T. McIlroy reviewed the bills for payment. J. Hanson moved approval. Motion carried.
President's Report: J. Pugh thanked those who serve on the board committees for their time and experience. She also noted how impressed she is with those who volunteer their time as a friend of the library.
Committee Reports:
Advocacy: R. Barden noted the committee reviewed the meeting schedule and content for 2009; discussed the entertainment program ideas, award processes and menu for System Celebration which will be held September 24th at Lake Windsor Golf Club; reviewed a draft of the online advocacy toolkit; and discussed what the future message should be regarding the state budget.
Personnel: J. Harrington noted the committee met and discussed a different review process for the System Director, which would include questionnaires sent to the resource library, other systems, and SCLS staff. The personnel committee will collect the results of the questionnaires to use in the director's review in late Summer.
Facilities: J. Hanson moved approval on behalf of the facilities committee to approve the lease contract with St. John's property and proceed with the WLA lease contract. G. Poulson seconded. Motion carried.
SCLS Foundation Report: P. Davis noted Paul Nelson has agreed to serve as the citizen member on the Foundation board. Shawn Brommer and P. Davis have submitted a grant application to Alliant for $2,100, which will be used toward a workshop that is scheduled for September 9th to help children's librarians integrate kinesthetic learning experiences into their programs.
Circulation and ILL Statistics: P. Davis noted that Sequoya circulation is up 8% over the last quarter, 54% of check outs are via self check machines, and visits are up 16%!
System Director's Report:
The Joint Finance Committee adopted the Governor's proposal to fund public library system aids and library service contracts solely with funds from the Universal Services Fund (USF) rather than general purpose revenue (GPR). This includes public library system aids for the current 2008-09 fiscal year in addition to a funding increase for both years of the upcoming biennium. You can view the budget paper on this item at http://www.legis.state.wi.us/lfb/2009-11budget/budget%20papers/657.pdf.
There has been a complete turnover on the Cottage Grove Village Board and it is possible that no appointments will be made to the library board. The library board may be disbanded, the library ordinance may be repealed, and it is expected that the library impact fee will go away. An outside attorney, Allen Reuter, who is the current municipal attorney for DeForest, has been hired by Cottage Grove to look into how to protect the library building site, the donations already received, and the budget appropriated for 2009.
The Rock Springs Public library is expected to open by the end of summer.
The LaValle Public Library should be open in September. The old building will be torn down and the new library will be built in the same location. There will be some site preparation so that the library will be on higher ground and it's possible that the village office may be located in the same building. The cost will be about $200,000, with no fiscal impact on the village.
A citizen group in West Bend has mounted protests of the West Bend Library for having gay-positive juvenile and teen materials. The Village Board refused to re-appoint four members of the library board, even though the mayor proposed reappointment of those board members.
The UW Systems procurement office has received written approval from the Department of Administration to proceed with the SCLS Delivery contract negotiation as an intergovernmental acquisition, which means that Delivery will not have to compete in a bid process.
Our preliminary delivery budget for our counties in 2010 ranges from a zero increase to 3 to 5%. We have a request from Delivery to change some part time positions to permanent positions in 2010, with the intent to decrease turnover and increase efficiency by avoiding constant recruiting, hiring, training and manager fill in for routes and sorting.
The Technology Governance Task Force has been working hard to define some models for discussion at the meeting on May 15th. 38 libraries are being represented in the list of registrants.
SRLAAW met and discussed 2010 budgets, particularly for resource libraries and their municipalities. There will be furloughs in Milwaukee. There was an information exchange about opportunities for stimulus funds and it sounds like the funding will primarily be for big projects instead of smaller projects. The governors have a lot to say about how each state will use these funds and in general, they will go into programs that are already established. There is a big push for statewide projects to put fiber in schools and libraries. DLTCL announced LSTA categories for 2010.
WPLC has adopted the results of the planning meeting and voted for $1,000 toward the "unconference" that Stef Morrill and Beth Carpenter (OWLS) are planning. We cannot keep up with the demand for Overdrive downloadable titles, but no library group has identified sufficient funds to devote to it.
We are continuing our partnership with the UW Children's Hospital's "Reach Out and Read" program by providing delivery service for their Summer Library Program. Staff from Madison Public Library is going to present regular story times for children and families. We hope to have a workshop about the "Reach Out and Read" program for our libraries so that there will be more collaboration between that program and libraries.
Library Legislative Day is taking place in Washington D.C. Jamie Healy Plotkin and Francis Cherney are attending to represent SCLS.
Stef noted SCLS has received the second state aid payment, which is the last of the state aids for 2009. If there are any state budget reductions during the rest of the year, we will not need to return money.
The LINK budget committee, which includes representation from all size libraries, met to discuss the budget. LINK pays Madison to do cataloging for the entire consortium and the contract amount will actually go down in 2010 because the contract measures the difference between March 2008 and March 2009 CPI, which was down 4/10 of a percent. The SCLS payment increases by the increase in state aid or the increase in CPI (as an average over the last 12 months), whichever is less. SCLS increase will be 1.45%, which is the increase in system aids. The budget includes a 1% increase for staff and we hope to be able to offer staff the 1% increase in 2010, but it will depend on the state budget process. There are a few decision items that LINK will vote on, including putting $20,000 into future reserves (which we believe will be voted down). Another item is additional funding for bandwidth ($3,000), and the continuation of a database maintenance position, with an increase in salary from $13.25 to $15.00/hour. This LTE position has not had an increase since it was created a few years ago. Health and dental insurance also increased 10% from this year's actual budget.
The annual meeting was a success. It included a guest speaker discussing customer service, interesting presentations from staff, and an exercise to identify value statements from our library responsibilities.
An application for the jobs LSTA grant has been submitted to DPI. It included computer tutorials for Learning Express, our test prep product; training sessions for both library staff and individual job seekers; development of a portal for job seekers; and a development of bibliography for "core" collections and funding to purchase some of these materials.
System Celebration nominations are due by June 15th. Although the trustee of the year award has been eliminated, trustees can be nominated for a special award if the trustee did something noteworthy.
We are working on a promotional campaign about the value of libraries. The theme is "Libraries for Real Life" and we will be working on developing materials. We may have an opportunity to partner with WPT on some work related to this project.

Generic Name: quetiapine (kwe-TYE-a-peen)
Brand Name: Seroquel
Quetiapine is an antipsychotic. It may increase the risk of death when used to treat mental problems caused by dementia in elderly patients. Most of the deaths were linked to heart problems or infection. Quetiapine is not approved to treat mental problems caused by dementia.
Antidepressants may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or actions in children, teenagers, and young adults. However, depression and certain other mental problems may also increase the risk of suicide. Talk with the patient's doctor to be sure that the benefits of using quetiapine outweigh the risks.
Family and caregivers must closely watch patients who take quetiapine. It is important to keep in close contact with the patient's doctor. Tell the doctor right away if the patient has symptoms like worsened depression, suicidal thoughts, or changes in behavior. Discuss any questions with the patient's doctor.
Quetiapine is not approved for use in all children. If quetiapine is prescribed for your child, talk with the doctor to be sure that quetiapine is right for your child.
Quetiapine is used for:
Treating schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic. Exactly how it works is not known. It is thought to affect certain substances in the brain.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure if any of your medicines might interact with quetiapine
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if quetiapine may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use quetiapine:
Use quetiapine as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Quetiapine comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get quetiapine refilled.
- Take quetiapine by mouth with or without food.
- Continue to take quetiapine even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
- Taking quetiapine at the same times each day will help you to remember to take it.
- Do not suddenly stop taking quetiapine without first talking with your doctor. You may have an increased risk of side effects. If you need to stop quetiapine, your doctor will gradually lower your dose.
- If you miss a dose of quetiapine, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once. If you miss taking quetiapine for longer than 1 week, contact your doctor before you start to take it again. Your dose may need to be adjusted.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use quetiapine.
Important safety information:
- Quetiapine may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use quetiapine with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Do not drink alcohol while you are using quetiapine.
- Check with your doctor before you use medicines that may cause drowsiness (eg, sleep aids, muscle relaxers) while you are using quetiapine; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness.
- Quetiapine may cause dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. This may be more likely to occur when you start to take quetiapine and also if your dose increases. To prevent these effects, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.
- Do not become overheated or dehydrated in hot weather or while you are being active; heatstroke, dizziness, or fainting may occur.
- Several weeks may pass before your symptoms improve. Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
- Children, teenagers, and young adults who take quetiapine may be at increased risk for suicidal thoughts or actions. Watch all patients who take quetiapine closely. Contact the doctor at once if new, worsened, or sudden symptoms, such as depressed mood; anxious, restless, or irritable behavior; panic attacks; or any unusual change in mood or behavior, occur. Contact the doctor right away if any signs of suicidal thoughts or actions occur.
- Quetiapine may rarely cause a prolonged, painful erection. This could happen even when you are not having sex. If this is not treated right away, it could lead to permanent sexual problems, such as impotence. Contact your doctor right away if this happens.
- Quetiapine may raise your blood sugar. High blood sugar may make you feel confused, drowsy, or thirsty. It can also make you flush, breathe faster, or have a fruit-like breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor right away.
- Diabetes patients - Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine.
- NMS is a possibly fatal syndrome that can be caused by quetiapine. Symptoms may include fever; stiff muscles; confusion; abnormal thinking; fast or irregular heartbeat; and sweating. Contact your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms.
- Some patients who take quetiapine may develop muscle movements that they cannot control. This is more likely to happen in elderly patients, especially women. The chance that this will happen or that it will become permanent is greater in those who take quetiapine in higher doses or for a long time. Muscle problems may also occur after short-term treatment with low doses. Tell your doctor at once if you have muscle problems with your arms; legs; or your tongue, face, mouth, or jaw (eg, chewing movements, mouth puckering, puffing of cheeks, tongue sticking out) while taking quetiapine.
- Rarely, quetiapine may lower the ability of your body to fight infection. Avoid contact with people who have colds or infections. Tell your doctor if you notice signs of infection, such as fever, sore throat, rash, or chills.
- Quetiapine may increase the amount of a certain hormone (prolactin) in your blood. Symptoms may include enlarged breasts, missed menstrual period, decreased sexual ability, or nipple discharge. Contact your doctor right away if you experience any of these symptoms.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take quetiapine before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Quetiapine may interfere with certain lab tests, including certain urine drug screen tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are taking quetiapine.
- Lab tests, including complete blood cell counts, blood sugar or cholesterol levels, liver function, thyroid function, or eye exams, may be performed while you use quetiapine. You may also receive regular weight checks while you use quetiapine. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Use quetiapine with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially uncontrolled muscle movements.
- Increased blood pressure has been reported in CHILDREN and TEENAGERS who use quetiapine. Children and teenagers should receive regular blood pressure checks while they use quetiapine.

Fernhill Gardens
A community's health can be measured by its wealth of wild places, and in western Washington County you can discover where the quiet life is prized by its wildness.
If you're lucky, you may cross paths with wildlife photographer Steve Halpern. He travels this way each week and takes a deep breath to savor a place that's meant for the quiet times. "In order to do bird photography, you have to have an extraordinary tolerance for frustration," said the longtime photographer. "You have to have high patience, be willing to endure perhaps cold and heat and bugs and remember that none of that shows up in the picture."
What does show up in Halpern's wonderful bird photographs are moments set in a place you've likely never seen or heard much about: Fernhill Wetlands near Forest Grove, Oregon.
You may find it surprising that so much wild– nearly 800-acres – is just thirty minutes west of Portland. Once considered a 'wasteland,' the local community thought there had to be a better way and began to change the scene over twenty years ago. The restoration and preservation efforts paid off and today it's a place where eagles have a home to raise their young and where thousands of waterfowl gather each winter.
Halpern calls Fernhill Wetlands a "birder's paradise," yet it's largely unknown. "I think it's an amazing thing, not just for the wildlife, but for the city of Forest Grove and for Washington County to have world class wetlands. This is as good and as wonderful a wetlands as you could hope for and it's really in our own backyards," he said.
This week, that fine place in our backyards got even better. The landowner, Clean Water Services, embarked on a $12 million project last year to enhance the Fernhill Wetlands property with a more natural job of cleaning wastewater. Three acres of the site (and there's much more on the way) have been transformed into Fernhill Gardens, a site marked by massive boulders, huge trees and nearly 60,000 wetland shrubs and plants.
The garden is a place that people will certainly want to visit – crowned by two massive wooden bridges that invite and entice visitors down the trail. Water Resources Manager Jared Kinnear added, "It's a win-win for the water, win-win for the habitat and really, offers amenities for the people too."
Local people like Debby de Carlo (a member of the local Friends of Fernhill Wetlands) agreed that the new garden will be a valuable asset to the community and to the wildlife that live here. "This place is like a silver lining in Oregon's rainy winters," said de Carlo. "You see more variety of ducks here in the winter and when I'm out in a natural place like this, I forget about myself. It's almost like a meditation to be out here surrounded by wildness."
Halpern agreed and said that as more folks discover Fernhill, more people will come to appreciate what it offers: "It's a place where our national bird has successfully come back from the brink of extinction. That's really a remarkable thing and it's good to know there's still something wild out here."

So you think merging nine regional call centers into one nationwide virtual contact center is work enough? Now imagine doing so while navigating hundreds of regional regulations and myriad regional back-end systems in a 24/7 environment with carrier-class fault tolerance and no installation window.
And thanks to this complex undertaking, AT&T was able to deliver services responsively during the recent California fires, load balancing the deluge of service and repair calls across its nationwide call center network with minimal increases in customer wait times while also enabling customers to track repairs remotely online.
The NCSC program started in the SBC Communications days after the acquisitions of Pacific Telesis, SNET, and Ameritech.
"We could see that our customers needed a more common call experience," says Mark Cottrell, executive director of network service program management at AT&T Services. "And with our increasing call volumes it made sense to share calls across multiple regions so that if there was an ice storm in Michigan, we could hand off calls to agents sitting in our call center in California."
To do this, AT&T undertook a massive software and systems consolidation, merging three regional IVR systems, three call center routing systems, and three agent desktop systems into one of each nationwide and integrating them with more than 50 different existing regional back-end legacy systems via a middleware services layer.
To cope with myriad regional regulations, AT&T devised hundreds of regional customer call scripts that could be called automatically nationwide as screen pop-ups based on the requirements and origin of the customer call. All this was combined with a universal call queue and common, nationwide workforce management, trouble ticket and repair, and skills-based call routing systems.
The solution is a complex soup of internally developed applications, COTS (commercial off the shelf) software, third-party solutions, and legacy back-end systems that allows customer information to be passed to agents across nine locations.
"If there's a bad storm in the Midwest and calls are not being answered in a timely manner, the system can look across the entire country to see which agent has the right skills to take the next call," Cottrell says, "and then transfer the call and all relevant customer and regulatory information so that the customer doesn't have to answer the same questions many times." The agent or the IVR system can generate line tests and schedule local repairs that customers can track or change online.
As a result, according to AT&T, call wait times have been cut in half. Moreover, the company expects to save $88 million over six years, thanks to reduced resource requirements.

Devin Hester set an NFL record with his 11th career punt return for a touchdown and Matt Forte rushed for a career-high 205 yards as the Chicago Bears recorded a 34-29 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
D.J. Moore took an interception back 20 yards for a score and Marion Barber added a rushing touchdown for the Bears (2-2), who won despite allowing the Panthers 543 yards of total offense.
Hester had set up Chicago's touchdown drive with a 73-yard kickoff return two minutes earlier. He then fielded a punt in Bears territory and broke a tackle before taking off for the home sideline and sprinting to the end zone for a 69-yard return.
The touchdown allowed Hester to move past Eric Metcalf and gave Chicago a 24-10 advantage with 11:32 left in the first half.
The Panthers fought back, drawing as close as 24-23 on Olindo Mare's 38-yard field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter.
But Forte put it away for the Bears, breaking free for a 40-yard run inside the Carolina 5-yard line. Barber punched it in from the 3-yard line, giving the Bears a 34-23 lead with under two minutes left.
Jay Cutler was held to 9 of 17 for 102 yards.
Top overall pick Cam Newton eventually found the end zone in the final seconds and finished 27 of 46 for 374 yards.
Newton topped 300 yards for the third time in four games while getting the Panthers back in it. But his bid for a second consecutive fourth-quarter comeback win ended with an incomplete pass on fourth-and-10 from the Panthers' 43.

Dr. Waters is the best Doctor I see, and I see a lot of Cleveland Clinic doctors. She is extremely knowledgeable not only about her specialty, but other specialties as well. This past visit I had a condition that in it's broadest sense COULD be linked to her specialty, but probably isn't. Nevertheless, she is going to research it, and get back to me shortly with her diagnosis. Talk about going out of your way for someone! Most other doctors at the Clinic would have just pawned me off to another doctor so they wouldn't have to deal with it. Dr. Waters is professional, personable, and VERY empathetic to my medical needs. Ten Stars!!!

Seventh in a series. See Part 6 [1]
If you take a look at the current distribution of soybean rust in the United States and listen carefully to the experts on the chances of rust making it to Iowa, you have to be encouraged. Despite the good news about soybean rust not spreading quickly (or hardly at all), there have been several reports of chemical reps from major fungicide manufacturers trying to convince growers to purchase fungicides and apply them to soybean to enhance plant health, leading to higher crop yields; suggested treatments involve QoI-containing fungicides, such as Headline® or Quadris®.
During the next 30 days, many soybean acres in Iowa will move from flowering to the early pod fill, which is the targeted period for "plant health" applications of fungicides. In the absence of soybean rust and significant risk of infection by the rust pathogen, the decision to apply a "plant health" fungicide application is not as straightforward as some might believe. There is not general agreement among university and industry scientists regarding the potential for "plant health" applications to result in economical benefits to producers--economical means that dollars return per acre exceeds dollars invested in fungicide/application costs.
Arguments for not spraying fungicides for "plant health"
In 2005, fungicide studies were set up across the Midwest and northeastern United States. In all, 62 plots with different fungicide/timing combinations were completed. Significant yield results were encountered in 27 percent of these 62 replicated experiments. These experiments involved both large and small plot tests. In a separate fungicide study at the University of Kentucky during 2003-2005, plant pathologist Don Hershman looked specifically at "plant health" applications and if they led to economic benefits to producers. Over the three years of study, significant yield results were encountered in six of 24 experiments.
All of the experiments referenced so far involved replication of treatments, which allowed treatments to be statistically analyzed. The only way to know with any degree of certainty if one treatment produced a different result than another treatment is to analyze results with accepted statistical procedures. If no statistics are done, anything less results in uncertainty whether or not the treatment really had an impact or if apparent differences were merely the result of chance and/or inherent experiment variability.
Arguments for spraying fungicides for "plant health"
In contrast to the above, results of "plant health" fungicide applications based on a large number of strip plot, side-by-side comparisons in grower fields have been much more favorable to potential yield benefits. For example, 162 side-by-side comparisons, summarized by BASF from Indiana and Ohio in 2005, showed an average yield response to "plant health" fungicide applications of 5.6 bu/acre. Comparisons summarized from 192 fields across the Midsouth in 2005 were even more favorable, with an average yield response of 8.5 bu/acre. Supposedly, Syngenta can produce similar results from their on-farm trials over the last few years. Keep in mind that a 3 to 4 bu/acre yield increase is considered to be the economically break-even point, depending on the fungicide and application cost and the price received per bushel of soybean.
There are problems with nonreplicated, side-by-side, strip-plot comparisons. One major concern is that results typically do not include detailed information on disease activity. Thus, one cannot know if a disease was the reason for any potential yield increase. In addition, treatments in a field cannot be statistically analyzed because there is no in-field treatment replication. Still, large numbers of strip trials with similar results have meaning and value, despite serious questions about the data generated.
How to interpret these different results?
What is one to make of the apparent discrepancy between the results of 86 replicated experiments, conducted by numerous scientists, and the results of nonreplicated, but numerous, on-farm treatment comparisons conducted by industry?
The great disparity in results should be a "red flag" when considering making applications of foliar fungicides to soybean in the absence of specific fungal target diseases. Very high treatment yields in many strip-plot comparisons (and some replicated experiments) over the last few years make it clear that something significant is going on. There have been enough positive results to conclude that "plant health" applications of fungicides to soybean cannot be discarded. Yet, there also have been enough negative results to know that there are many, many scenarios where "plant health" fungicide applications simply will not pay for themselves.
Side effects
Applications of any pesticide in the absence of a specific target pest(s) is contrary to integrated pest management principles. There may be unintended, long-term implications (environmental, regulatory, and/or sociological) associated with applying fungicides to soybean in the absence of specific target pests.
One consequence could be the suppression of native fungi that naturally keep insect populations in check. There is already some evidence that indiscriminate use of fungicides in soybean has resulted in increased insect/mite activity in some states. Another consequence could be stricter future pesticide laws and regulations.
Producers who are considering making fungicide applications for "plant health" benefits should make those applications with the awareness that a significant economic response is not assured. At this point, university and industry scientists do not have enough information to be able to recommend which fields/situations have a high probability of an economic response and which fields have a low probability of response.

Ethics and Community
Community Organization
The Jewish community, representing both a religious faith-community and a national ethnic group, is organized along both spiritual and secular lines. Contemporary Jewish communities sponsor an array of organizations, from synagogues and Jewish community centers to regional and national organizations dedicated to a range of causes.
In ancient Israel, the clan descended from Moses' brother Aaron served as priests who administered all of the rituals, assisted in this role by the consecrated tribe of the Levites. After the destruction of the Temple in 70 C.E., the priestly rituals were replaced by verbal prayer, today led by cantors, and prophecy was replaced by the rabbis' scholarly expertise in the interpretation and adjudication of Torah law.
Principles of Moral Thought and Action
The source for Jewish moral and ethical norms is the system of rabbinical law, or halakha. The primary sources of this religious legal system are the Talmud, medieval codes of law, and ongoing rabbinical response.
Vision for Society
Judaism is neither a universal nor an evangelizing religion. Jews believe that the Torah and its laws are the unique inheritance of a people elected, or chosen, by God for the purpose of forging a "kingdom of priests" whose mission is to spread the principles of ethical monotheism to all humankind.
Rabbinical Judaism has historically assigned distinct roles to the different genders, especially notable in the realms of public worship and ecclesiastical leadership. Judaism's positive attitude to sexuality has had the net effect of consigning women largely to domestic roles, as well as precluding women from attaining positions of ecclesiastical leadership.

VISTA, CA -- State and local officials seized pusher-style games and video gambling devices and arrested 10 individuals during raids on seven locations in the city of Vista, near San Diego.
Eleven machines and more than $14,000 in cash were seized, officials said.
According to a news release issued by the San Diego Sheriff's Department, deputies assigned to the Vista Patrol Station Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving Unit and an agent from the State of California, Alcohol Bureau of Control conducted undercover operations from approximately Feb. 20 to March 10 at local businesses believed to have illegal gambling machines.
At one location, deputies said they discovered a "payout sheet" showing that more than $37,800 in winnings was paid out over a six-month period to players.
Police in Delano, a town in central California, also apprehended pusher-style game machines in February, charging location owners with operation of illegal gambling devices. | SEE STORY

Gastritis facts
- Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining and is usually termed acute or chronic gastritis.
- The two major causes of gastritis are 1) a bacterium named Helicobacter pylorior H. pylori and 2) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However there are many other causes like other infectious agents, autoimmune problems, diseases like Crohn's disease, sarcoidosis, and isolated granulomatosis gastritis.
- Although many individuals with gastritis may have no symptoms, both acute and chronic gastritis may have symptoms of
- abdominal pain,
- nausea,
- vomiting, and
- occasionally, belching, bloating, loss of appetite and indigestion.
- Gastritis can be diagnosed by the patient's symptoms and history (for example, NSAID and/or alcohol consumption), or by breath, blood, stool, immunological, and biopsy tests to detect H. pylori and other tests such as endoscopy or radiologic studies demonstrate mucosal changes.
- The treatment for gastritis varies according to the cause.
- H. pylori usually is treated with a combination of antibiotics.
- NSAIDs are treated by stopping the drug and using antacids, histamine blockers or proton pump inhibitors or PPIs, for example, omeprazole (Prilosec, Prilosec OTC), omeprazole (Prilosec, Prilosec OTC), rabeprazole (Aciphex), rabeprazole (Aciphex), esomeprazole (Nexium), and Zegerid, a rapid release form of omeprazole.
- Other less common causes may be treated similarly, but do not treat the underlying cause.
- Home remedies (for example, over-the-counter antacids or histamine blockers) for gastritis usually do not treat the underlying cause, but reduce symptoms.
- Foods and chemical irritants that cause or aggravate gastritis symptoms should be reduced or stopped all together. For example:
- Stop cigarette smoking.
- Avoid drinking excessive amounts of alcohol.
- Avoid caffeinated, decaffeinated, and carbonated dinks; and fruit juices that contain citric acid, for example, grapefruit, orange, pineapple, etc.
- Avoid high-fat foods.
- The growth of H. pylori may be stopped by a diet rich in fiber, and foods that contain flavonoids, for example:
- Certain teas
- Onions
- Garlic
- Berries
- Celery
- Kale
- Broccoli
- Parsley
- Thyme
- Soy foods
- Legumes
- Complications from acute gastritis are rare.
- Complications from chronic gastritis include peptic ulcer, bleeding ulcers, anemia, gastric cancers, MALT lymphoma, renal problems, strictures, bowel obstruction, or even death.
- People with acute gastritis usually recover completely with no complications.
- Chronic gastritis may have a range of outcomes from good (early treatment) to poor if serious complications develop.
- If underlying causes of gastritis (for example, alcohol or NSAIDs usage) are treated or not used, gastritis also may be prevented.
- Other gastritis prevention techniques include:
- To prevent infectious causes of gastritis practice good hand washing techniques, for example, wash the hands thoroughly and frequently.
- To reduce the risk of gastritis avoid situations where you are exposed to chemicals, radiation, or toxins.

Maybe Never
I want to forget us,
Act like I never knew you.
But my heart will not
forget the extreme way
Lips can make love.
It won't let me forget
The way your eyes can say
A million things in
ten seconds flat.
It refuses to erase
The way your hands
Told me things about
My soul I never knew.
It reminds me everyday
Exactly how intense the
Flash of passion inside,
Set the whole damn
Universe on fire.
Maybe I could never forget,
Because every time I look up
At the sky every night,
It's still burning hot
With what we will...

Floyd "Money" Mayweather's nickname fits his new title to a tee: The world's highest-paid athlete.
Forbes.com named Mayweather its highest-paid athlete over the last year. Mayweather earned $85 million, knocking golfer Tiger Woods out of the top spot that he has held since 2001. Woods fell to third behind another boxer, Manny Pacquiao, who earned $62 million. Woods took home $59.4 million.
Mayweather, who is currently serving an 87-day jail sentence in Las Vegas, earned his $85 million for a little more than an hour's work in the ring. He knocked out Victor Ortiz in the fourth round last September, earning $40 million, then dispatched Miguel Cotto by a unanimous 12-round decision on May 5, taking home $45 million.
Because Mayweather acts as his own promoter, he maximizes his earnings. His company, Mayweather Promotions, collects all of the revenue from tickets, pay-per-view and sponsorships and covers the costs, including the purse for his opponent. His earnings per fight is about 50% higher than Pacquiao, who is promoted by Top Rank, earns.
None of Mayweather's earnings came from endorsements. Pacquiao had $6 million in endorsements, while Woods, according to Forbes, made $55 million of his earnings through endorsements.
While Mayweather is one of sports' most polarizing figures, he also knows how to create a buzz, which causes a lot of people to buy his pay-per-view fights. Mayweather has been a part of the four biggest non-heavyweight PPV events in boxing history. His fight with Cotto generated $94 million in PPV buys.
Pacquiao fought Juan Manuel Marquez and Tim Bradley. which earned him $56 million, including revenue he gets from their broadcast in the Philippines. Pacquiao has become boxing's biggest advertising magnet, doing endorsements for Nike, Hewlett-Packard, Monster Energy and Hennessy.
LeBron James leads the 13 basketball players who made the cut in the top 100, ranking fourth overall with earnings of $53 million. James had his salary cut 20% by the NBA lockout, but continues to be an endorsement king, making $40 million from sponsors like Nike, Coca-Cola, State Farm and McDonald's.
Of the 30 NFL players on the list, Peyton Manning is the highest-paid player with earnings of $42.4 million, 10th overall. The Indianapolis Colts paid Manning $26.4 million in 2011 even though he missed the season recovering from neck surgery. Manning continues to be the NFL's top pitchman, earning $10 million from Reebok, Gatorade, Sony, DirecTV, Wheaties and Papa John's.
Two women made the top 100, both tennis players. Maria Sharapova ranks No. 26 with $27.9 million in earnings. Li Na ranks 81st with earnings of $18.4 million.

A new walkway named after a late Thames Ditton resident has been unveiled in the village.
Pip's Path, which bridges the gap between the Ashley Road car park and the High Street, was created as part of an ongoing regeneration campaign to "keep the heart in Thames Ditton high street".
The path is named after the late Pip Huxster, who worked in the High Street, and the campaign for the new walkway was led by Bob Huxster, Pip's former husband.
Pip's Path is the final stage in the redevelopment of Hawkes Yard during which, a strip of land was set aside and a group got together to provide the finance to buy it for the community.
The path, which can be accessed from the High Street next to Simply Fresh, is owned by the Thames Ditton Foundation, a charity set up to maintain, improve and provide public amenities and facilities for the benefit of Thames Ditton and surrounding areas.

I WAS interested to read the views of Coun Chris Steward, the new City of York Council Tory group leader, on transport matters (The Press, January 27).
Chris claims that the present Labour-led administration is "anti-car". He does acknowledge that we have major congestion issues, but seems to think the carrot alone will encourage greater use of public transport.
The Tories have always presented themselves as the car users' friend. Supporting the perceived right of car owners to drive everywhere for every journey, be it short or long, will only precipitate a gridlocked city for our descendants.
That is why successive governments have encouraged local authorities to prioritise alternative travel choices for many urban journeys. It is unfortunate that the present government has diluted these measures. Eric Pickles is telling councils to remove car access restrictions in city centres. Also, the Local Sustainable Transport Fund is being tinkered with so that bids which favour new roads now qualify. I wonder if Coun Steward will agree with me that no politician can ever deliver an urban car owners' paradise.
Acknowledging this simple truth may lead in turn to greater local cross-party support for continuing measures to reduce car dependency.
Paul Hepworth, Windmill Rise, York.
• So Paul Hepworth (Letters, January 25) thinks people will just make more journeys on a dualled A1237.
Once again he is wrong, as as any extra traffic on this road would be accounted for by those drivers who at present rat-race to avoid the horrendous jams on this road. Dualling this road would be a win-win situation for everyone.
It is about time we had a sensible transport policy in this city that includes the car as much as any other form of transport. People need their cars as public transport does not run not for 24 hours, seven days a week, and we can't always rely even on frequent bus services.
There is also the problem of service changes, which as in the case of 2012 changes in York were a complete disaster and took more than a year to put right. On top of this there are also frequent fare increases, the most recent one being a stealth increase due to the abolition of the return fare.
So let's stop listening to the anti-car brigade trying to destroy business in our city.
Ian Foster, Hawthorne Avenue, Haxby, York.

Conquering the Great Wall of Glasto has developed into a major early-summer talking point. After the problems with ticket sales, many festival diehards have been left on the outside. There is not much point in going OTT - there will be security on the other side and you'll cut your hands on the summit.
My scouse source tells me they're thinking of abandoning all previous techniques and, instead, tunnelling under. That smacks a bit of a poor man's Shawshank Redemption, if you ask me. The only other way is straight through it, in a Millennium Dome Diamond Heist fashion. You know, the tractor ploughs through and it's every man for himself.
I suppose you could ask David Blaine to drive with you to the site and levitate you into the Promised Land, but not even the lure of Glastonbury is enough to persuade the most tolerant of person to spend that amount of time in a vehicle with him.
So, the only way to enjoy the best festival in the world is on the telly or the wireless, and is that really a suitable substitute for the real thing? Well, it's certainly getting there.
Edith Bowman and I presented BBC3's coverage last year, with each show over three days lasting longer than Comic Relief. I think it was seven hours solid, but it may well have been more. Nothing was tweaked, or edited or censored. Instead, we had monitors for each stage and hopped between them as we felt fit, in a desperate attempt to capture the Glastonbury magic. Sometimes we failed, such as when when we crossed live to Moloko just in time for an aimless, seven-minute drum solo. Sometimes, however, it was glorious. Primal Scream's appearance on the Other Stage was a defining moment in their career and we were there for all of it.
Radio 1 is a different story, with a lively weekend presenter line-up capturing the madness of the day and delivering the live highlights.
I would be lying if I said it was as good as being there, but it's infinitely preferable to standing on the other side of the Great Wall and trying to persuade a crusty to lend you his ladder.
Regardless of whether you have a ticket, spare a thought for me. I am inside the festival site. I have backstage passes. In fact, I have access-all-areas, free food passes and drinks vouchers. But I am also on air almost every waking minute of Glastonbury, which means I'll be viewing it exactly as you will in your armchair. Never has the phrase "so near, yet so far" been more applicable.
Alas, it's in my interest to make it the best broadcasted Glastonbury ever. I intend to fulfil that remit.
· Colin Murray's Radio 1 show with Edith Bowman is on every weekday 1pm-3pm. He fronts BBC 3's Glastonbury coverage with Edith from Monday June 14

"It's hard. He wants to be the fittest that he can be for the start of the year but there's no point him being fit and then having a sore foot all year," Worsfold said.
"It's no good having that affecting him. It's a real fine balancing act. We really have to monitor his workload.
"He'd start training with us on Monday if it was up to him. But the physios are saying to ease him back because the odds are that if he does too much after having that time off, he could easily get a sore foot again.
"He'll probably do more running by himself on Monday and then join the group again on Wednesday. If that happens, I'd say he'd play the practice match because it's only two 20-minute halves.
"He wants to play and I'm keen for him to play, but if the physios say 'not yet', then we won't play him."
While Cousins worked through the pain last year to earn All-Australian selection and win the club best-and-fairest award, the Eagles are naturally concerned that he cannot shake off the problem.
He also had a flat period midway through last season as his workload and the constant attention from taggers built up.
Worsfold said the club wanted Cousins at his best on match day, so he would follow a special training regime throughout the season and be rested during matches as well.
"He does a fair workload and I'm not sure if that's why he gets it. It may be the way he runs," Worsfold said. "If he's playing most of the games on the ball, we can then monitor the work he needs to do during the week at training. He'll get lighter nights.
"We've recruited Daniel Chick and Damien Adkins this year, so we've got extra players who can run through the midfield.

"Among U.S. Donations, Tons of Worthless Drugs", By Reed Abelson, p. A1. NYTimes, June 29, 1999.
This article will only be current for a short time on the New York Times. Esentially, Abelson reports the distress of the relief workers that many of the drugs sent to provide much-needed medical assistance during the Kosovo crisis were within three months of expiration, or were non-essential items like "Nicotrol anti-smoking inhalers," "Chap Stick," "Preparation H." Abelson attributes this to the write-offs drug companies are permitted for their donations during such crises, and the temptation to rid their warehouses of old drugs.
The New England Journal of Medicine
Searching through the entire index of 1997, I found the article to which Abelson refers in the December 18, 1997 issue. At least I found many other interesting articles along the way.

Permabit Releases Permeon Compliance Vault Software
Archive-complance software lets managers use magnetic disk-based hardware for WORM tasks.
Permabit Inc. this week unveiled its Permeon Compliance Vault, a complete compliance software solution designed to help enterprises meet the rules of such government regulations as SEC 17a-4, HIPAA, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The new software safeguards e-mails, instant messages, and other documents from destruction. The software turns magnetic disk-based hardware into non-rewriteable and non-erasable WORM (write once, read many) storage.
