A pocketful (and more) of Johannesburg
Why Johannesburg in Your Pocket?
Johannesburg is only waking up to its potential as a tourist city; for much of its existence as a city it has been under-covered and underrated. Johannesburg In Your Pocket is an independent city guide aimed at visitors to the city (and locals). More than a guide, it also includes events listings so that you can land easily in the city, understand its context and find ways of enjoying your time here. From luxury and business travellers to families, adventure junkies and budget travellers, it has something for every taste.
What does it consist of and how often does it come out?
It has vital information on how to get around, safety, where to stay, what to see and do, what to buy, and the best places to eat out. The content is updated regularly online and refreshed for each print edition. The first edition carried a special focus on Nelson Mandela's Joburg. The upcoming edition looks at Fordsburg and Indian Johannesburg.
Have you always lived in Joburg?
A number of years ago I started a blog called 'Nothing to do in Joburg besides ...', spurred on after hearing that expression once too often. I actually grew up in Benoni (on the East Rand), always dreaming of the city. I moved to Johannesburg at the age of 17 and have been in love with this crazy place since.
For a first-time visitor to the city, what are the top five things/attractions/experiences you would suggest?
Joburg is all about contrasts, and the juxtaposition is what makes this African city unique. For a first-time visitor, I suggest:
- Spend time in hipster Braamfontein at Saturday's Neighbourgoods Market. Top it off at the new jazz club, The Orbit, and in the surrounding streets. Or spend a Sunday in Maboneng for lunch at Market on Main with the cool kids, where you can pop into the great selection of galleries and stores in the area that offer local work and goods.
- Experience Soweto – try a quad-biking tour with Soweto Outdoor Adventures that takes you to historical sites and the famous Vilakazi Street (the only street in the world to have been home to two Nobel Peace Prize laureates), as well as some offbeat places.
- Walk the inner city with a local guide to explore the incredible collection of public art; and if graffiti is your thing, you can't do better than Newtown.
- For an understanding of what shaped South Africa, the Apartheid Museum is a must-visit; or to get to grips with our human ancestors at Maropeng and spend time in the Cradle of Humankind.
For an understanding of what shaped South Africa, the Apartheid Museum is a must-visit; or to get to grips with our human ancestors at Maropeng.
- If you are a mall junkie, own up to it and head to Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square. Take a walk past the country's financial heart, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, and admire your imposing surroundings while you sit on the pavement at Mam Lindy's Fast Food, served out of a trailer, and eat meat and pap (maize porridge) with your hands.
(I have another five for your second visit and more for your third.)
For those who love nightlife, what are the highlights?
A night out at Randlords, a super-glamorous club at the highest point in Braamfontein with jaw-dropping city views. Mostly used as a function venue, it has occasional events that you have to watch its website for.
Best shopping experiences?
Markets, markets markets. Take your pick from the guide.
And for art lovers, the best galleries/museums?
Wits Art Museum in Braamfontein is not to be missed, with its extraordinary collection of African art spanning the continent. And then there's gallery row along Jan Smuts Avenue in Parkwood, with so much to choose from. Stops on the way include David Krut, Goodman Gallery, Circa Gallery, Everard Read Gallery and Res Gallery.
Please tell me about different or 'alternative' experiences
Bay of Grace offers a birding tour of Soweto where you get to walk up Enoch Sontonga koppie (hill) and experience a sense of awe at the beauty of this tranquil space high above the busy-ness of Soweto. Dlala Nje's dinners in Yeoville, where you get to sample tastes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon, are also a fascinating way of understanding the city's urban mix.
How can one follow in the footsteps of Gandhi and Mandela in Johannesburg?
A visit to Satyagraha House in Orchards is a great way to connect with Gandhi's philosophy. And Joburg is Mandela's city, with so many sites that connect to the great man's life. A must-see is Chancellor House, a museum on the premises of Mandela's offices that he shared with Oliver Tambo as a young attorney in Johannesburg. Across from Chancellor House there is an incredible metal sculpture of Mandela as a boxer, by Marco Cianfanelli. It presents the perfect photo-op.
How would you explain the Joburg experience to foreign travellers?
Joburg can be crazy and chaotic, but also warm and welcoming. Travel here with an open mind.

Partners in Progression: 2014 Snow Collabs
Shortly after mastering potty training, many of us received instruction in the merits of sharing. From lending out our boards to offering up floor space, these lessons have served us well in shredding. Increasingly, brands are also applying these lessons, teaming up to share ideas and create fresh collaborations. And as their latest projects reveal, sharing has never looked better.
Brands are quick to assert that collaborations can serve as a catalyst for creativity. As Sabre Creative Director Ryan Nix explains, "Collabs should be about two forces coming together to release something that would otherwise never see the light of day." Sabre, for example, recently collaborated with Spring Break snowboards to create a glow-in-the-dark goggle. The brainchild of former pro Corey Smith, Spring Break is as much an art project as it is an experiment in crafting unconventional decks. After all, "Creativity and snowboarding go hand in hand," notes Flux Marketing and Operations Assistant Kara Flieststra. Flux's forthcoming collaborations serve as testament to this. For next season, Flux has partnered with the apparel brand JSLV and artist James Haunt to create a binding that bears Haunt's iconic work. Flux will also debut a collaboration with Raw Rolling Papers, which Fliestra asserts, shares Flux's "dedication to providing the highest quality product possible."
Holden Cofounder Mikey LeBlanc notes that collaborations provide a means to "share your brand's strengths with others who are amazing in their own area of expertise." For next season, Holden and Outdoor Research have teamed up to create a mitten inspired by the latter's legendary Mt. Baker Mitt. Jordan Wand, Outdoor Research Vice President of Product and Marketing, explains that the partnership "seemed like a great fit given Outdoor Research's heritage in snowboarding with the Mt. Baker Mitt and Holden's interest in authentic style." According to Wand, collaborations can also allow partners to "introduce each other's brands to one another's sales channels.
Here are just a few of next year's bumper crop of collabs that caught our eye:
For Dragon, its recent collaboration with Nike stemmed from shared values. "The natural synergies between Nike and Dragon just made sense—for both brands athlete involvement and product innovation are at the forefront of our vision," explains Dragon Director of Product Mike Tobia. In addition to creating a series of Advanced Projects X goggles, the collaboration also enabled Dragon to learn from Nike. "Nike just happens to be cream of the crop, clearly leading the way in terms of athlete involvement, product innovation, and supply chain compliance," offers Tobia. "It's been a major eye opener and an amazing opportunity for Dragon to learn and grow."
Collaborations can also provide a platform for education. Burton, for example, has recently partnered with Lifebeat. "For over twenty years, Lifebeat has been mobilizing the music industry to help raise awareness and resources around HIV and Aids," explains Burton Vice President of Marketing Anne-Marie Dacyshyn. As part of this partnership, Burton's 2014 Women's Lipstick Restricted will pay homage to Salt-n-Pepa. The legendary hip hop trio serves as ambassadors for Lifebeat. The series of four boards feature topsheets that rock an iconic photo from the eighties of the band and bases adorned with lyrics from the group like "Ah Push It!" and "Real Good!" Yet the collaboration transcends products, as Burton and Lifebeat are partnering on a range of promotions, events, and campaigns in line with the organization's mission.
While brands are quick to espouse the benefits of collaborations, riders and retailers are also eager to embrace them. By limiting the quantity and distribution of collaborations, brands often create products that drive customers to core retailers. Burton's collaboration with Lifebeat and Salt-n-Pepa, for example, will only be available through the specialty retailers in the brand's Restricted program. "Retailers get the opportunity to sell products with a back story," reveals Nix of Sabre. "There's no denying that standard issue products are the meat and potatoes of the industry, but collaborations play an integral part in engaging consumers and keeping them interested."

Starter maintenance and volume
I've been searching the forums but I'm still confused about what amount of starter to keep in the fridge in between baking.
Let's just say I keep 100 grams of starter in my fridge (which I call my 'mother starter'). A few days before I want to bake, I pour off 50 grams in another container (which by doing so, becomes my 'working starter'). I then refresh the 50 grams of 'mother starter' which is left at a 1:1 ratio, and put the latter back in the fridge.

The first day is the hardest. Starting today, millions of Muslims will observe their first day of Ramadan. It's a challenge to break from the monotony of regularly gorging on munchies and convenient tea breaks, so the first day is spent largely reminding yourself that Ramadan has, indeed, begun. Your stomach, on the other hand, spoilt by its old ways, is usually busy re-enacting the Battle of Melos inside you, whilst you politely re-assure your friends, 'No, it's okay. You can eat in front of me. We're stronger than that, really.'
Ramadan proves that disciplined self-control, in every sense of the way, is certainly achievable on an empty stomach (We're looking at you, America's Next Top Model!). So, for all those fasting, and other who want to experience Ramadan to its fullest, here are 4 multi-feature apps that'll make this Ramadan your most productive one. If not anything… then, at least, stay for the food!
iPray: Prayer Times & Qibla Compass
Guided Ways Technologies Ltd
iOS ($3.99) / Android (Rs 187.32)
iPray is one of the best prayer apps, especially if you're an iPhone user. With multiple-city settings, a qibla compass, custom prayer notifications, Islamic calender and a host of other related settings, it's an incredibly sleek and functional app for prayer needs.
The app uniquely goes into minute details of adjusting settings for individual prayers, which makes it stand apart from other apps in its category.
iQuran Lite
Guided Ways Technologies Ltd
Since, most Muslims (and everyone else) are not Arabic speakers, the iQuran Lite is a tech manna. With translations, pronunciations, audio recitations and a search option, iQuran Lite makes reading a far less daunting and far more meaningful experience, especially for people who're interested in understanding what they're reading. The app is also an excellent edition to your tablets if you want your children to read the Qur'an with all its meanings and correct pronunciations.
Unfortunately, the only drawback of this product is that it's exclusively for English and Arabic speakers. If you're looking for a more feature-laden experience, including multiple language translations, then Quran Tasfir Pro (Salaam Software) is your kind of app, in spite of a few glitches.
Muslim Pro – Ramadan 2014
Bitsmedia Pte Ltd
This simple, clean and efficient app is your one-stop destination for all things this Ramadan. It includes prayer times, fasting times, Quran recitations, qibla directions, a calender, as well as, listings of restaurants that serve halal food near your geographical area.
The app is built on a multi-lingual platform that includes various European and Asian languages, making it very popular with a vast set of people.
Resala Ramadan
Yufid Inc.
For those of you new to Ramadan, the Resala Ramadan app is a perfect beginner's guide before you move on to more complex ones that may leave you thoroughly confused.
Whatever the essential rules, regulations and principles of fasting, Resala Ramadan provides a clean user interface and clear language to impart the information, to help you make the best of Ramadan.
My Halal Kitchen
Batoul Apps
iOS ($1.99)
For the larger audience, the coming of Ramadan means satiating yourself with a variety of mouth-watering delicacies, many of which are traditionally cooked only during this month.
My Halal Kitchen (English/Arabic) gives you a long list of 'breakfast, appetizer, entree' meals along with drinks and desserts to prepare this Ramadan. The app features a variety of cuisines which include Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and American amongst others.
If you're looking something more disciplining for your dietary needs, then Ramadan Diet (iOS) by 700apps contains exercise reminders, dietary advice as part of a Ramadan weight-loss programme.
So, make sure you keep yourself smart, up-to-date, savvy and avoid piling on the pounds this Ramadan. It's all about restraint, after all!

Australia's run chase was set back and Ed Cowan's Test career imperilled with an England breakthrough before tea at Trent Bridge on Saturday.
Australia had set a solid platform and Chris Rogers had posted his maiden Test 50 when Cowan played a lavish drive at part-time spinner Joe Root and was caught at slip for 14.
It was the last ball before tea, and Australia went to the break on day four at 2-111, needing a further 200 to win the first Test.
Cowan has endured a horrid Test. He was floored by a stomach bug, made a golden duck in the first innings and dropped a difficult catch in the second.
Having relinquished his opening spot to Shane Watson, he is now under pressure from reserve batsman Usman Khawaja to hold his place in the team for the next Test at Lord's.
Rogers loomed as a key man in Australia's chase, having taken the shine off the new ball with a substantial opening stand of 84 with Shane Watson.
The middle session further tested the players' faith in the umpires and the DRS.
Watson had struck the right balance between patience and intent but played across the line to Stuart Broad on 46 and was given out lbw by umpire Aleem Dar.
Sensing the ball was missing leg, Watson asked for a review. Because Hawkeye showed a fraction of the ball shaving leg stump Dar's original decision was upheld. This was not a howler of the sort for which Dar was pilloried the previous day but it provided another example of the flawed protocols governing the use of DRS.
In the first innings Rogers was given out in similar circumstances and when the Watson verdict flashed up on the screen he dropped his bat in disappointment. Watson shook his head as he left the field.
Soon afterwards, Rogers on 38 used the DRS to correct a bad decision from umpire Kumar Dharmasena, knowing he hadn't edged a ball from Graeme Swann.
Earlier, the Australians took the four remaining wickets to wrap up England's second innings for 375 before lunch, but not before the home side had ensured they would have to complete the highest ever successful run chase at Trent Bridge to win.
The record is 284, scored by England to beat New Zealand by four wickets in 2004.
Broad continued to infuriate on the fourth morning of the Test. An edge flew between first and second slip, where Michael Clarke and Watson stood like statues, and the bowler James Pattinson fumed.
Broad, whose nonchalance in standing his ground when he was reprieved by a shocking decision by umpire Aleem Dar on Friday ignited the age-old walking debate, at last departed for 65.
This time he edged Pattinson behind, and made for the dressing room as Dharmasena raised his finger. The Australian paceman turned his head towards Broad as he left the crease, just to be sure.
While Broad attracted criticism for his obstinate stance, his batting partner Ian Bell courted nothing but admiration for his 109, his second Ashes century and arguably the finest of his career. In the six-and-a-half hours Bell spent at the crease, as controversy erupted around him, he turned England's position from desperate to dominant.
Tellingly, he was the first batsman in the game to pass three figures, on a dry, slow pitch that must remind the Australians of their recent misadventures in India.
Here, the touring bowlers sustained their effort and discipline in testing circumstances. Mitchell Starc, who began the day with a wild, swinging projectile that almost took out Clarke at first slip, returned from the other end to remove Bell, who came forward to a full ball from around the wicket and was caught behind.
Peter Siddle was also rewarded for his tireless efforts. He polished off the England innings with the wickets of Graeme Swann and Jimmy Anderson in the space of three balls and finished with 3-85 to go with his five-wicket haul in the first innings. Clarke's catching at slip was athletic and safe; he pouched three for the match, not including the one disallowed against Broad.
The 138-run stand between Bell and Broad presented Australia's suspect batting line-up with a monumental challenge.

For flash tuning on E85 ideally you'd need an rpm/load/lambda/IPW reference table. With a piggyback you can work around that by fudging the fuel pressure signal and/or fudging the load values.
On the flash end I don't see any easy way to work around the fuel trims issue without having the proper tables at hand. But it might not be a big deal with say a 40% E85 mix. The DME is aware of actual load so it's going to be in the ballpark and you do have a +34% trim factor to work with. As a starting point I might take their S2+ aggressive map, bump advance up to the OEM levels, lean AFR out to the OEM levels, and then gingerly evaluate on a 40% E85 mix.Burger Motorsports

That's exactly what you with ATR now, work under the 34% cap at a 40:60 mix of E85. Any more than 40% and I personally smash into the 34% ceiling. I keep hearing cobb is working on a way to tune for more fuel, it's only a matter of time before cobb supports 100% E85 tuning.

Written by Cobus van Wyngaard
In Violence Žižek points to some questions which again got me thinking about the always persistent notions in Christianity that we have a task to convert the whole of society to Christ, meaning that all should become part of the church. He writes:
My reflection at this stage does not concern the questions whether this is a legitimate interpretation of Paul, but rather the quote serves to open up questions concerning evangelical universalism.
A distinctive marker of Christianity is the way in which it created categories for interpreting the act of entering into the faith community which opened up this faith community to all, regardless of culture or background. Obviously Paul's thoughts were important in this process. I usually describe this to my confirmation classes by saying that the crime that the followers of Jesus, those called Christians, committed against the Jews was to open up the Jewish faith to everyone – they made it too easy to become a Jew. Gone where the days of circumcision, which made it literally painful to become a member once you were an adult (and obviously opened up possibilities for woman to become part of the faith community).
Again similar categories were created within the protestant Reformation, sola gratia, sola fidei (through grace only, through faith only). But again the critique from Žižek is applicable, because if membership is sola gratia, but the sola fidei is still a prerequisite, it puts a question mark either on the choice of faith, or on the non-believer. Either you don't have a choice (through grace only), or else you're choice against that, an option that is assumed is open to everyone, opens possibilities for the most brutal forms of exclusion (and the history of the church is ample examples of this).
However, these are not the only interpretations possible. In an article titled How my mind has changed. Mission and the alternative community*, David Bosch describes his own project from the years 1972-1982:
He unpacks this by explaining that
Whether this is what Bosch intended or not, I'm not yet completely sure about, but on a very simplistic level this assumes that church and world can never become the same, that the church should always be but a part of a broader community, and not identifiable as the community**, always smaller than the community, smaller than the world. The experimental garden. The place where things are possible which would not be considered in the world.
How then is this significance for the world to manifest when this community is truly unique?
I suggest that we need a deeper exploration of the idea of public dialogue.
If our own place is understood as part of a broader dialogue, and our contribution to the world and transformation of the world (mission) is found in our uniqueness, it opens up possibilities that this world can contain a place for others. Exactly as a Christian, I can create an openness which recognize the voices of others within this public dialogue, contributing to the positive evolution of society. However, I do this only from a position of faith, of a firm conviction that also the way of the church, in its uniqueness, has significance for the world.
Maybe, in this post-secular world, this could even be done without condescension. Not only could we recognize that certain distinctly different worldviews are siblings of our own (be it the monotheistic faiths, or secularism), but the growing recognition of the important role which for example eastern religions need to play in our time (think of conversations on ecology) also open up the idea of a dialogue where the other need not be defeated, but where uniquely different views are needed in the ongoing dialogue concerning what Christians would call the kingdom of God (that which is the dream of how things could be in this world).
And the church then? Well, we would need to discover and live our distinctness as the community which over the past 2000 years reflected on the tradition which grew out of the life and words of Jesus. For the sake of society we need to contribute from our uniqueness as church.
* Bosch, D. J. 1982. "How my mind has changed: Mission and the alternative community", in Journal of Theology for Southern Africa. 41 (December), pp. 6–10.
** My guess is that chapter 13 of Transforming Mission, and the 1993 chapter in The Good News of the Kingdom: MissionTheology in the Third Millennium titled God's Reign and the Rulers of this World both open up the possibility that different church traditions might be appropriate at different times and places. This might open up the possibility of interpreting Bosch in such a way that at times a complete identification between church and community is possible, but as a rule I believe you don't find this idea in Bosch.

A little over a month ago Google announced they were changing their privacy policy and as of March 1, they have made that change. Most notably they are combining the privacy policies for the over 60 Google properties. On the plus side, this means that there is now only one, more simplified privacy policy for all the Google products. This also, however, means that Google is sharing all the data from all these sites. Keep in mind this is 60+ Google properties, so we aren't just talking about Google Search. This also includes:
- Google Maps
- YouTube
- Gmail
- Picasa
- Google+
- Feedburner
- Android
There are a lot of Google properties out there that are very popular, so chances are that you are using at least some of them.
Why are they doing this?
According to Google, they are doing this for two primary reasons:
- They wanted to simply things. They had over 60 products/services each with their own privacy policy. That was a lot to keep up with for both them and for us.
- They wanted to unify the user experience for Google users. By combining the data from all of your Google services, they can combine the benefits of various services to produce a better, more personal experience.
So, now the videos you watch and share on Youtube may affect the results of searches you do or the ads you see. Or perhaps an email from a friend requesting a meeting will cause Google to suggest putting that meeting on your Google Calendar and when Google Calendar reminds you of the meeting a few days later, it may send you driving directions from Google Maps that has been optimized by Google Traffic to get you to your meeting the quickest.
How does this effect SEO?
Google has been personalizing results more and more for years, now. This will further their ability to personalize search results as they can now use data from your calendar, Youtube history, Gmail emails, etc. to personalize your search results.
Should I be concerned?
Well, that is a debate that is raging on even as I type. On the one hand, some people think that the benefits in the functionality of Google products will outweigh any loss of privacy. Plus, Google already had all this personal data anyway; they just hadn't combined it all. Others feel like Google and others are already tracking way to much personal data and that this is just one more step deeper into our personal lives. Depending on how many Google products you use, Google may know you better than your spouse.
I think Google is evil and trying to take over the world. What can I do to thwart them?
If this is what you're thinking, then you probably wish there was an opt-out. Sorry. However, even though a lot has been made of the fact that there is no way to opt out of the new Google privacy policy change, it's not really unusual. For most companies, when they change their privacy policy, they don't give you an option of whether you'll accept the change. You can either accept it or stop using their service. This happens to be the most effective thing you can do if you are concerned about Google's reach into your private life. Just stop using Google products.
Here are a few ways you can limit Google's tracking and use of your personal data if you want to:
- Stop using Google products. If you don't use Google products, they can't track you…probably 🙂
- Compartmentalize your products and services. Sure, not using Google products at all will solve the problem completely, but depending on how much you use Google products, this may be next to impossible. For example, if you have a Droid smart phone, guess what? That's Google. If you use the Chrome web browser, that's Google, too. What about Youtube, Google+, Google Analytics, Calendar, Maps….you get the point. So, the next best thing is to use Google less. The less you use Google products, the less data they will have on you. Maybe use Bing or DuckDuckGo for search. Use Yahoo or your own website's email feature for email. You can choose an iPhone instead of a Droid. So on and so forth.
- Opt-out of tracking and storing data. While Google's privacy policy doesn't have an opt-out, some aspects of their products do. For example, in Google search, if you have an account, you can turn off "Web History". This Ostensively prevents Google from keeping a record of the searches you do in Google. It should be noted that you have to have a Google account and be logged in to turn off your web history. If you do not have a Google account or are not logged in, Google WILL track you by your IP address. So, ironically, you have to be logged in to not be tracked. Other Google products, have ways of turning off the tracking/storing of data.
I'm not saying that you need to stop using Google or even opt-out of data tracking. What Google can do with the data may make their products and services better. In the end, you will need to decide how important you think it is to maintain your privacy online. This isn't just a Google thing. Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and many, many others track your online use of their services to some extent. After all, how much privacy do you think you can have if you use any social network (I.E. Facebook, Google+, Twitter)? The whole point is to share. The only way to completely maintain your privacy is to cut your Internet connection (please finish reading this article first 😉 ). There is a trade off and you have to decide where you draw the line.
So, let me ask you.
- What do you think of Google's Privacy policy change?
- Will you change what products you use or even stop using Google altogether?
- Do you think this isn't that big of a deal because what's the worst Google can do…offer you more targeted ads?
Let me know what you think.

I was call in to see safety after coming off my delivery and given a three day suspension. After returning to work I was told I had to see safety again and was not told why, after waiting for forty- five minutes and nature calling I was told by the front desk they will see me now. Once in there I was told that I had to take a drug test.
After agreeing to the test we proceeded and I told them that nature had call earier, so we waited for three hours and was not able to give them what they wanted, so they put me on a week suspension to see my doctor and get a letter stating my problem. My forward the letter to them and after a week of suspension I call to return back to work, I was told that my suspension could last up to to a month.
I couldn't wait a month so went out to seek other employment, a week later they put in my file and on my dat that I was discharge and the reason was that I refused to take a drug test which are all lies.

Don't know what was in the letter that the doctor fax to them, but I'm sure it contain words on my medical condition. Despite the DOT definition of refusal a person has to say no or don't show up, beside the DOT can't predict someones body. Also if you are call in to safety once you report to them they need to inform you why you are there.
I was given the three says for electronic logs viloation, I can live with that.

First, I don't work for them.
As you reported, you couldn't provide a urine sample after three hours. Drinking water during that three hour period should enable anyone to provide a sample. The three hours is the D. O. T. limit. After three hours, the company can consider it a refusal or send you to a doctor to see why you can't provide a sample. That's what they did. What was in the report the doctor sent to them? Why were you initially given a three day suspension?

text: Ranbir Kapoor, who is slowly becoming a youth icon, thanks to his Rockstar avatar, is apparently being offered approximately 8-10 crores per annum as two rival music channels fight to have Ranbir as their brand ambassador. Ranbir Kapoors song Sada Haq in Rockstar has become a virtual anthem among the youth. Taking advantage of that, two music channels that targets an audience in the range of 15-30 years have reportedly approached Ranbir Kapoor to be the face of their channel.If sources are to be believed, Ranbir Kapoor, who has been offered the deal on a contract basis is still contemplating and is a little hesitant to restrain himself to one brand. Ranbir Kapoor also has many films up his sleeves and is therefore unsure if he could dedicate enough time to the music channel. Rockstar, directed by Imtiaz Ali stars Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri in the lead and is scheduled to release in November 2011.

Click here to shop @ The Candi Factory now
- Coupon code: freeship

- Expiry: 24th August 2014
Since we last talked about the sweet little Canadian boutique Candy Factory, they have branched out. They now make children's underwear and women's swim skirts.
Let is talk swim skirts. They are made out of material you can swim in with an underpants under layer and a skirt over layer. If you don't like exposing your derriere at the beach, these retro little swim skirts are for you. They come in three different colours: green, red, or yellow polka dot. Originally $48, they are now each on sale for $30.
I checked out the men's section because I like buying my husband awesome underwear. There is nothing more awesome than the Aliens have landed boxer briefs. Oh my lord I want a pair for myself they are so awesome. Seriously, if anyone from Candi Factory is listening, make these for women. Originally $30, they are now on sale for $22.50.
The kids' section is full of great underwear for girls and boys. For the girls there seems to be a major polka dot theme, with undies made of organic cotton and costing only $6, originally $8. For boys, bring on the robots in a bamboo/cotton blend. Originally $11, they are now $9.
There are also four glorious styles of underwear on sale in the women's section. While my favourite pair is not on sale (stormy), I think this pair of Pink Owl undies is very cute. The undies are pale pink with a brown trim; while the owl itself is green and matches the branch that he is standing on. Instead of $20, they are on sale for $15.
As with any brand you are not familiar with, be sure to consult their size chart to make sure you get the best size for you. With free shipping, you are saving a bit. Orders up to $60 usually cost $3 to ship (one of the most reasonable shipping policies ever). Orders over $60 cost $6 to ship. This coupon will potentially save you up to $6 on your order.
I have tried Candi Factory underwear before and they are super comfortable. As advertised, they do not ride up your butt.
You will find this Candi Factory coupon on our Bargainmoose coupon section.

I have talked to thousands of veterans during the course of writing this column for the past 26 years. And is amazing to me personally to learn that many of our veterans are unaware of the good that the nation's two largest veterans organizations -- the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion -- represent a combined membership of more than 5 million veterans.
For the men and women who served their country with honor, I feel it is necessary, and encourage them to check out the excellent work these two groups do on their behalf.
Both groups have national legislative offices in Washington, D.C. where they keep track of proposed legislation of concern to veterans.
This week we will examine the VFW. The Washington office staff monitors all legislation affecting veterans, alerts VFW membership to key legislation under consideration and to actively lobby Congress and the administration on veterans issues.
With VFW's own priority goals in mind, combined with the support of 2.1 million members of VFW and its auxiliaries, its voice on "the Hill" cannot be ignored.
The national VFW continuously advocates on veterans behalf. By testifying at committee hearings and interacting with congressional members, the VFW has played an instrumental role in nearly every piece of veterans legislation passed in the 20th Century, as well as bills developed in the 21st Century.
Most recently, VFW efforts halted the Department of Veterans Affairs proposal to re-review more than 70,000 cases it had already decided for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. The review's sole purpose was to revoke awards for disability compensation under the guise of fraud review.
One of VFW's most successful legislative pushes was making college education affordable for military service members with the signing of the 1944 GI Bill of Rights, the signing of the Montgomery GI Bill in 1984, and the signing of a new 21st Century GI Bill in 2008.
The VFW's legislative initiatives center on quality of life and health initiatives for all the nation's veterans, past and present. VFW's 2013 legislative priority goals cover such topics as VA Health Care, Suicides and Homelessness, VA Benefits and Compensation, Seamless Transition, Military Quality of Life, Education and Employment, Defense and Homeland Security, POW/MIA and VFW Talking Points.
As your humble professor of veterans' studies, I encourage all veterans to read about and get familiar with the amazing efforts both the VFW and the American Legion pursue on their behalf.
There are numerous other veterans organizations, such as the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Disabled American Veterans, Marine Corps League, Vietnam Veterans of America, and others, that perform services for a specific area of interest to those affected by their wartime service.
And, as your homework, I ask you to go online and type in VFW.org. Actually, whatever combination of letters that include VFW will get you to the place you need to go to make yourself smarter about the VFW. Also, check around in your area where the individual posts of the VFW, American Legion, and others are located, and call the post (numbers in the local phone book). Tell them you are interested in attending one of their meetings. They, most assuredly, will welcome you with open arms.
We'll look at the American Legion's mission and programs next week.
Free Seminar on Veterans' Benefits: Nordonia Hills American Legion Post 801 and VFW Post 6768 will host a seminar on VA non-serice connected disability pensions. The seminar is sponsored by U.S. Senior Vets from Mentor.
The seminar will start at 8 p.m. April 10 at VFW Post 6768, located at 8584 Olde Eight Road in Northfield Center. Veterans and friends with questions can call U.S. Senior Veterans at 440-205-0057, or email Tim Garth from both posts at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Flag Retirement Ceremony: Members of VFW Twinsburg Post 4929 will conduct their annual flag disposal ceremony Apr. 27 at noon at Glen Chamberlin Park. American flags that need to be retired because of their physical condition can be dropped off at Twinsburg Public Library, Twinsburg City Hall, or Richner Hardware.
Remember to say a prayer for our men and women serving America in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and at other dangerous assignments around the globe. A letter from home with a package of goodies would certainly make their day.
Items for this column an be mailed to Ron Seman, 7065 West 130th St., Apt. 120E, Parma Heights, 44130-7805, or email: email@example.com. Thanks.

Restaurants increasingly provide information about the beef they serve, such as whether it was grass fed and if that grass was nourished with delicious beef. Know what you're eating with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $15 for $30 worth of French–inspired burgers at lunch
- $20 for $40 worth of French–inspired burgers at dinner
- See the full menu<p>
Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and dinner from 5 p.m. until close.
Burger Brasserie
The most famous dish on the menu at Burger Brasserie is also the least ordered. That's because not many can afford the $777 kobe beef and lobster burger topped with imported brie, prosciutto, and 100-year-old balsamic vinegar. Oh, and it's served with a bottle of Rose Dom Perignon. But despite this dish's opulence, most items on the menu are quite reasonable yet still gourmet. Chefs grill up classic burgers with a Parisian flair, serving them on a choice of five artisan buns baked fresh every day. In place of ketchup and pickles, the chefs incorporate common French ingredients such as brie, bleu cheese, wild arugula, and harissa aioli. They also offer veggie, lamb, and turkey patties that better complement some of the lighter flavors.

Courage in Munich will mark the first time all 12 teammates will be together since the games 40 years ago. In what is arguably one of the most controversial games in the history of the sport, the U.S. twice won the gold medal and twice had the Russian team given a second opportunity. The clock was reset a third time, enough tries for the Soviet Union to make a basket and take the gold.
The U.S. team refused to accept the silver medal and to this day none of the 12 have every accepted the second place finish they know does not belong to them. The reunion will kick off Aug. 24 with a day of seminars at Georgetown College.
Four sessions, an hour and 15 minutes each, will discuss various topics surrounding those games in the Thomas & King Leadership and Conference Center.
Starting at 9 am is History of Olympic Basketball. The moderator will be former sports editor of the Bloomington Herald-Tribune and a member of the Basketball Writers Hall of Fame Bob Hammel. The panelists will be Denny Crum, Joe B. Hall, Georgetown professor of history Jim Klotter, 1972 assistant coach John Bach and Olympic team members Tom Burleson, Jim Forbes and Tom Henderson.
At 10:45 am how the 1972 gold-medal game changed international basketball will be moderated by C.M. Newton, former USA Basketball chair. Panelists will be Jim Host, CEO of iHigh.com, basketball historian and author of Stolen Glory David "Taps" Gallagher, retired GC women's basketball coach Susan Johnson and Olympic team members Doug Collins, Mike Bantom and Jim Brewer.
At 1:15 pm the ethical debate about not accepting the silver medals will be moderated by Hall of Fame sports columnist David Kindred. Panelists will be Lexington Herald-Leader publisher Rufus Friday, The Louisville Courier-Journal columnist Tim Sullivan, GC professor and philosophy department chair Roger Ward, former CEO of Turner International sports Jack Kelly and Olympic team members Davis, Ed Ratleff and Kevin Joyce.
The final session begins at 2:45 pm and is the discussion of terrorism and TV coverage. The 1972 Israeli team was captured, held hostage and murdered during the two weeks in Munich. The moderator will be former director of Kentucky Homeland Security Tom Preston. Panelists include Kentucky National Guard Gen. Edward Tonini, GC assistant professor of political science Guillherme Silva, SteinGroup LLC CEO Alan Stein, talk-show host Dick Gabriel and Olympic team members Bobby Jones, Tom McMillen and Dwight Jones.

The Sacramento County Coroner's Office has identified the man who was found hanging from a tree at the Cosumnes River Preserve as Samuel Fitzgerald, 19, of Sacramento.
Authorities recovered Fitzgerald's body shortly before noon Monday, according to Sacramento County Sheriff's spokesman Jason Ramos. The body was found by two kayakers at about 5 p.m. Sunday about a mile east of the preserve's visitor center on Franklin Boulevard, west of Galt and north of Thornton. Fitzgerald's arms were reportedly tied behind his back, Ramos said.

|Abstract: The beaches of Long Island, New York act as important breeding grounds for the Piping Plover(Charadrius melodus), yet human development of these beaches poses a considerable threat to the conservation of this listed species. Conservation management efforts must take into account the reproductive ecology of the species. We investigate how reproductive success and fecundity of the breeding population changes over the course of the breeding season. Data collected during breeding seasons starting from 1999 through 2008 by The Nature Conservancy on Long Island provide evidence that initial nesting attempts (first nests) exhibit the same fecundity and likelihood of success as attempts to replace a lost nest (renests); there were no significant differences between the two in terms of average clutch size (P = 0.55), hatching success (P = 0.58), or fledging success (P = 0.46). The data also suggest that nests that hatch earlier tend to feature a larger clutch size (P < 0.001) and hatch more eggs (P < 0.001). However, the number of chicks fledged from a nest was not associated with hatch date (P = 0.07). Research on other sites has suggested that more young fledge from nests that are laid earlier in the season. If so, we suggest that this may be more attributable to higher hatching success than to higher fledging success from amongst the chick population. Because of this intraseasonal decline in breeding capacity, likely due to greater challenges from human development and life history demands, the early part of the season is critical for breeding success and should be a priority for conservation management.

Electrophoretic Variation of Malate Dehydrogenase in Lysimachia fraseri.
May 4, 2009
Mentor: Dr. Jeff Holmes
Abstract: Lysimachia fraseri (Fraser's Yellow Loosestife) is a rare plant belonging to the Primulaceae (Primrose) family, endemic to the central and southeastern United States. North Carolina is home to the majority of the 86 confirmed extant populations nationwide. The cause of this species imperilment is unknown, but an understanding of the genetic variation among and between subpopulations of L.fraseri is essential for conservation. Using starch gel electrophoresis, the metabolic enzyme malate dehydrogenase (MDH), was analyzed for polymorphism among and between individuals from two groups of L. fraseri residing on the Warren Wilson College Campus. The enzymatic activity in leaf tissue from eighteen individuals from each of the potential sub populations was assayed. Results indicate that MDH is expressed from a minimum of two loci, one of which is polymorphic. Additionally, one of the two plots sampled expressed a unique phenotype, indicating the presence of greater genetic diversity within that plot. This suggests that the two groups of L. fraseri may have emerged as separate subpopulations of a larger metapopulation and may have been reproductively isolated for some time.

Vietti's Luca Currado will be on hand for the multi-course dinner, with a Piemontese-inspired menu by Brian Zarletti, on Thursday, March 6. There's a 6 p.m. cocktail hour and dinner is at 7 p.m. Reservations, which are limited, are required (call 414-225-0000).
We reached Currado, via email, at his home in Piemonte, Italy, to talk about Vietti, his U.S. tour and his Milwaukee stop...
OnMilwaukee.com: Let's talk a bit about the responsibility that comes with being part of a great Piemontese winemaking family, one with a century of tradition. Surely, there's pride, but is there also a weight to bear?
Luca Currado: There is a lot of responsibility. Having five generations of history and hard work on your shoulders is no small thing. You know, when I was 10, I played in the wine cellar, helping my dad and I was always attracted to the magic of winemaking. There's a lot of pressure, but I need some adrenaline. I do my best under stress and I like competition. That healthy perennial dissatisfaction that pushes you to do your best and to keep going.
OMC: With you and, say, Ceretto, for example, it seems like there's a new generation breathing a modern air into the grand Piemontese wine scene. Is this true? Do you think it's important, and is it difficult, to find a new path without abandoning the old road?
LC: Thanks for the youth. Unfortunately, I'm not that young. Maybe I'm in the generation in between now. A few years ago, the stimulus to change and create was very strong. Then after a few years, it was understood that one is fortunate to be born in a land kissed by God. And maybe there isn't much to invent, but much to respect. Everything can be improved. The details create perfection.
Here (in Piemonte), the generation before ours did a lot and now it is our turn, with our knowledge, by taking care of the details, to bring a qualitative consistency that, maybe in the past, was lacking.
The word "tradition" means to learn from the errors that you make every day, those that our parents made and to follow the right road, learning from mistakes. But tradition isn't revolution. That would be a grave error. When we want to enjoy today one of the great barolos, we open a 1982, a 1989. What we're doing today will have to be judged in 20 years. (Changing) style doesn't last long and doesn't pay. You're chasing a butterfly.
OMC: I'm a barbera fan and I'm always happy to find good barbera here, but it still isn't very well-known. Do you think there are other ways to open new inroads here for barbera?
LC: I am a huge fan of barbera. In the 1800s, the Barolo zone was planted half in nebbiolo and half in barbera. Then at the start of the 1900s, when Barolo became so famous, since you could make Barolo only on these three hills, everyone ripped out barbera to have more nebbiolo vineyards available.
But the "true" wine was barbera. Because in Mediterranean culture, wine was on the table with food and was an integrated part of the culinary experience. In Italy, and let me say in Europe, there are few wines that have the versatility and ease of pairing with food that barbera has.
This is why barbera was so popular. It was only rediscovered in the early 1990s and now its undergoing its renaissance, above all now where the whole world is beginning to understand the true essence of gastronomic pleasure is wine and food, food and wine – inescapably linked.
I love barbera so much that we sacrificed several Barolo vineyards to replant barbera in the Barolo zone where it was in the 1800s. Barbera Scarrone is an example.
OMC: It's interesting how sometimes things happen in an unexpected way, like the success of moscato, which is now very popular among rappers and their American fans. What has been the result of that success?
LC: There was no doubt that moscato would explode in the American market. A lightly fizzy wine, sweet, low alcohol, fruity perfume. It's the only sweet wine that I drink. I don't like "passito" wines. Unfortunately, it's exploded too much and big firms have profited by cannibalizing the true essence of Moscato d'Asti, producing low-priced moscatos, improbably from all over the world, riding the fashion but destroying a wine.
OMC: What's it like doing the tour? Is it hard to be on all the time, eating a huge dinner, surrounded by people you don't know? What do you like most and least about it?
LC: I like it. I like meeting new people, I like seeing the light that goes on when they taste your wines. I like talking about my land, my people, my traditions. I would like the people to drink "history" and culture paired with the culture of local cuisine. I don't enjoy tasting where you're behind a long table and someone distractedly hands you a glass only to drink the most expensive wine before it runs out. A lot of times, I slip out of these. It feels like a slap.
OMC: How do you find Piemontese dishes in America. It's not a cuisine that's especially well known in the U.S.
LC: It's not true. As you well know, there is no Italian cuisine, only regional cuisines. Piemontese cuisine was always by tradition one of the most refined and elegant. Here, before 1870, there were the Savoys, who were food fanatics and were always in competition with their French "cousins." Often, refined Italian cuisine in the United States has Piemontese dishes as its base.
OMC: Have you ever been to Milwaukee?
LC: Once, very briefly, many years ago.
OMC: What comes to mind when you hear the name of the city?
LC: First of all, Harley, of course. Mythical. Then beer, great music and then from my youth, "Happy Days." Who knows, maybe I'll run into Fonzie!
OMC: What awaits us at the Zarletti event?
LC: It will certainly be fun. You'll eat well and you'll drink well.

It is really a wonderful Vintage Purse, with beautiful raised embroidered design, as you can see in the photos.It also had a note inside, which I have included as part of the Provenance of the piecel..pictured in the fourth photo. The note reads " This bag was my Mother's. Gladys".I don't know who Gladys was, but it was important that whoever got this purse know to whom it belonged. I like to honor things that I find like that…gives the piece a sense of history, don't you think??

The Disneyland Measles Outbreak: 'Anti-Vaxxers' Aren't the Only Issue
The recent measles outbreak that began in Disneyland is the latest reminder that Americans have ceded ground in the fight against the potentially deadly disease. So-called 'anti-vaxxer' parents have received a lot of attention following the outbreak, but they may comprise less of the population than you think.

Curriculum (general policies)
- 300-level and 400-level courses
It is not an institutional requirement to take all 300- and 400-level courses at Wheaton, but there is nothing prohibiting a department from having this internal requirement. (Ed Pol Minutes April 21, 2011)
- Permanent Course Number for a Course Taught by Non-Permanent Faculty Member
Educational Policy Committee approved a permanent course number for a course taught by a non-permanent faculty member in the Music Department. It was noted that Japanese and Chinese courses have designated numbers taught by non-permanent faculty, so approving a permanent course number would not be precedent setting. (September 30, 2010 Ed Pol Minutes)
- Information Fluency
Develop a systematic department approach to information fluency working with the Associate Vice President for Library and Information Services. (April 1, 2010 Ed Pol Minutes)
- Curriculum Support
Develop priorities for curriculum support and an implementation plan and provide guidance to the Planning and Priorities Committee with curricular implications. (April 1, 2010 Ed Pol Minutes, December 18, 2009 Ed Pol Minutes)
- Independent Majors
Standards for independent majors include a minimum GPA, two letters of recommendation, a methods or theory course and a capstone. Students must consult with the Dean for Advising to get approval before embarking on an Independent Major. (February 9, 2007 Ed Pol Minutes)
- Wheaton Repertory Theatre Summer Program
Will count for one credit at the 200 level and is open to Wheaton students and high school students, beginning Summer 2007. (April 26, 2006 Ed Pol Minutes)
- Eng 101, FYS (transfers)
Eng 101: Taken on campus or subject to English department approval, perhaps as a high school AP course. The Registrar's Office is normally granted broad interpretive authority. (Ed Pol Annual Report, 2004-2005)
- Foundations: Quantitative Analysis, Foreign Language, Beyond the West
QA may be taken in high school as an AP course and students must get a 4 or 5 on the AP exam, or overseas or at another college generally subject to Math/CS chair approval. The Philosophy Chair signs off on Logic courses. (Ed Pol Annual Report, 2004-2005)
Foreign Language taught at Wheaton may be taken at another college or overseas subject to the appropriate department or program chair approval. Furthermore, subject to department or program chair approval, a high school AP course may be combined with an upper level Wheaton course to fulfill the FL foundation requirement. In questionable cases of a FL not taught at Wheaton, such as Hebrew, the Provost is the signatory authority. The Registrar's Office is normally granted broad interpretive authority. (Ed Pol Annual Report, 2004-2005)
Beyond the West may be taken at another college or overseas, subject to the appropriate department chair or program coordinator approval.
- Connections
The Committee on Educational Policy is willing to consider Wheaton faculty-initiated Connections with Wheaton-approved overseas programs. (Ed Pol Annual Report, 2004-2005)
- Major and Minor Courses
May be fulfilled anywhere subject to appropriate department or program chair approval. (Ed Pol Annual Report 2004-2005)
- Pass/Fail
Any course taken at Wheaton to be counted as meeting a specific Foundation requirement must carry a grade. However, transfer courses which are essentially all pass/fail may meet certain Foundation and major requirements. None of the above curricular requirements, except possibly a minor course (departmental decision), may be taken P/F at Wheaton. (Ed Pol Annual Report, 2004-2005)
- On-Line University Courses
These are discouraged and must be approved by the Committee on Educational Policy. (Ed Pol Annual Report, 2004-2005)
Regarding the Institutional Policy on Electronic Courses, as written by the Educational Policy Committee in November 2000, the committee reaffirmed that the college would not accept credit in transfer for courses completed exclusively on-line, as a general rule. The following guideline, however, was modified from "exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis by the Dean for Advising, with appeals to that decision determined by the Committee on Academic Standing" to "exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis by the Educational Policy Committee." (April 12, 2004, April 26, 2004 Ed Pol Minutes)
- Educational Policy Committee takes it as the intent of faculty legislation X.E.4.c to assure that every Wheaton student will have at least one course from each of the three traditional academic divisions, and that such courses should be taken at Wheaton. Faculty should not approve as the student's sole course in the division a course taken elsewhere. (Ed Pol Annual Report 2003-2004, "General and Procedural")
- Transfer Credit
- Transfer credit may NOT be used to fulfill Social Science, Arts and Humanities or Natural Science Divisional requirements but may be used for major requirements, Foreign Language, Quantitative Analysis or Beyond the West requirements with prior approval.
Divisional Breadth Requirement
Divisional breadth requirements (AH, SS, NS) must be taken at Wheaton.
(October 19, 2004 Ed Pol Minutes, Ed Pol annual Report 2004-2005)
In the case of courses taken off campus, only those from Wheaton-approved programs may count toward the fulfillment of the breadth requirement.
(December 3, 2003 Ed Pol Minutes)
A course cannot simultaneously satisfy the Science divisional requirement and the QA foundational requirement ( Ed Pol Annual Report 2004-2005)
- Foundation Courses
Except for English 101, Foundations courses may be part of a connection and may, if a department or program so wishes, contribute toward a major or minor. (2003-2004 Ed Pol Annual Report, "Policies to Guide Implementation of the New Curriculum Developed by the Educational Policy Committee, 2002-2003)Annual Report 2002-2003
Foundation courses (QA, FL, BW) may be taken away from Wheaton. (Ed Pol Annual Report 2004-2005)
Experimental Courses
Experimental courses after the first offering must be submitted to the Educational Policy Committee for a permanent course designation. (February 20, 2003 Ed Pol Minutes)
- All experimental courses carry foundation designations only -- exceptions can be approved by the Educational Policy Committee, e.g. BW designation, etc. Designations will be determined on a case-by-case basis. (February 11, 2014 Ed Pol Minutes)
Advanced Placement Credit
May be counted departmentally (to bypass an introductory-level course) but may not be counted toward the fulfillment of a divisional requirement under the breadth stipulation of the Wheaton Curriculum. (December 3, 2003 Ed Pol Mintues)
- Proposed New Courses
The Educational Policy Committee reviews and approves all new courses for permanent addition to the curriculum as well as changes to major and minor requirements. Changes in course titles, descriptions and numbering (unless there is a change in level) do not need to be submitted to the committee. This is a departmental matter and should be handled through the Registrar. (Ed Pol Annual Report 2003-2004, and Ed Pol Annual Report, 2002-2003, "Policies and Guide to Implementation of the New Curriculum Developed by the Educational Policy Committee, 2002-2003")
- Courses that satisfy the Quantitative Analysis (QA) requirement may be part of a Connection but will not normally satisfy the divisional requirement described in Section X.E.4.c (2003-2004 Ed Pol Annual Report and 2002-2003 Ed Pol Annual Report, "Policies and Guide to Implementation of the New Curriculum Developed by the Educational Policy Committee 2002-2003")

Submitted to: National Cotton Council Beltwide Cotton Conference
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/8/2008
Publication Date: 5/15/2008
Citation: Spurgeon, D.W., and Hudson, N.D. 2008. Beauveria bassiana Activity Against Lygus hesperus at Low Temperatures. Proc. Beltwide Cotton conf., National Cotton Council, Memphis, TN. pp. 1316-1321. Interpretive Summary: The western tarnished plant bug is an important pest of cotton in production regions of the western U.S. This pest is difficult to manage in cotton because it is highly mobile, feeds on a wide variety of plants, is difficult to sample accurately, and chemical sprays for its control often result in problems with other insect or mite pests. Beauveria bassiana is a disease that attacks plant bugs, and it occurs naturally in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Previous research at Shafter, CA sought strains of Beauveria that were effective under high summertime temperatures typical of the region. However, the most appropriate use of this disease against plant bugs may be in efforts to reduce their overwintering populations - if strains can be found that are highly effective at temperatures typical of fall and winter seasons. We conducted preliminary studies of Beauveria activity against plant bugs at temperatures of 55, 65, and 75 degrees F. Most strains of Beauveria killed a large proportion of plant bugs at all temperatures tested. Patterns of plant bug death over time varied with temperature, and our findings indicate 21 days is an appropriate duration for studies to evaluate Beauveria effectiveness under the temperatures we examined. Our results suggest that more extensive evaluations of Beauveria strains for low-temperature activity against plant bugs may be warranted.
Technical Abstract: The western tarnished plant bug, Lygus hesperus Knight, a key pest of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in production regions of the western U.S., is attacked by the naturally-occurring pathogen, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Previous research at Shafter, CA sought Beauveria strains that were effective under high summertime temperatures typical of the region. However, the most appropriate use of Beauveria against Lygus in California cotton may not be as a rescue treatment. Alternatively, Beauveria may be useful in efforts to suppress overwintering populations of Lygus if strains are available that are highly virulent at temperatures typical of fall and winter seasons. We conducted preliminary laboratory assays of Beauveria activity against Lygus at temperatures of 55, 65, and 75 degrees F. High levels of infection were obtained with most Beauveria isolates at all temperatures tested. Temporal patterns of mortality varied with temperature, and 21 days appears to be an appropriate duration for assessing mortality under the conditions we examined. Results provide a rationale for more detailed examinations of Beauveria isolates for low-temperature activity against Lygus.

Historical Perspectives
Likud and Nationalists Set for Divorce (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu 06/06/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/156590#.T871r7Bo2uk
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is not leaving the Likud, but the Likud may be leaving nationalists as he orders coalition ministers to vote against a bill that would legalize five housing units in the Ulpana neighborhood of Beit El and prevent their court-ordered uprooting.
The Ulpana homes were built with government approval, but Peace Now filed a petition with the High Court and convinced the justices that the land for the homes had not been legally purchased by Jews from a Palestinian Authority Arab.
With a national unity coalition that now includes Kadimas 28 Knesset Members, Prime Minister Netanyahu can easily dispense with nationalists. At least three Likud ministers and deputies, Yuli Edelstein, Druze MK Ayoub Kara and coalition chairman Zeev Elkin, have said they will vote for the bill, an action that the Prime Minister said will result in their being fired. Deputy Minister Gila Gamliel also plans to vote for the proposed law.
The bill is sponsored by MK Zevulun Orlev, one of three members of the Jewish Home (Bayit Yehudi) party that is part of the coalition. It is not yet clear if he and chairman Daniel Hershkowitz will vote for the bill and thereby leave the coalition and join the National Union party in the Opposition.
One big question mark is Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, head of the Yisrael Beytenu party. He is to announce later Wednesday how he will vote. Netanyahus saving grace may be his promise to build 10 homes for every one that is dismantled.
Prime Minister Netanyahus ultimatum appears to be the final blow to Feiglinism, the ideology of Moshe Feiglin to work for nationalism from within the Likud. The party formally favors a Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria but in practice has allowed hundreds of middle-of-the-night police raids to expel residents from hilltop communities, usually with violence and accompanied by Arab hired hands to throw out belongings and often walk away with them.
The Jewish Home party so far has turned the other cheek, but the issue of the Ulpana neighborhood may be the last straw. Nationalists warn that failure to prevent the expulsion through legal means will be the catalyst for turning other Jewish communities into falling dominoes.
Prime Minister Netanyahu will have a comfortable coalition without Jewish Home and can afford to lose a handful of ministers.
A divorce from nationalists might influence the next government coalition after elections next year, when the current Knesset term ends.
Likud is leading in current polls and will apparently lead the next government. Prime Minister Netanyahu can always count on Shas, which might abstain from the vote on the bill but for certain will not risk being fired by voting to protect the 30 families living in the Ulpana homes threatened with demolition.
If nationalists flock to a united party of National Union, Jewish Home and disillusioned Likud MKs, they could become a bloc of 15 or more MKs, strong enough to force Prime Minister Netanyahu to consider tearing up the divorce.
His alternative would be an unlikely coalition of the hawkish Yisrael Beytenu party and Shas along with Yisrael Beytenu´s arch-enemies Kadima and Labor. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 06/06/12)

Iraqi forces backed by helicopter gunships and tanks launched an offensive to retake Tikrit from Sunni Muslim militants who seized the northern city after sweeping south from Mosul.
The troops battling militants from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, also known as Isis, were joined by tribal forces, said former Interior Ministry official Jawad al-Bolani. Tikrit, about 150km north of Baghdad, is the hometown of late president Saddam Hussein.
As many as 7,000 pro-government Sunni fighters and Shiite Muslim volunteers are fighting with the elite forces and other military divisions. They had support from US intelligence to bolster "our security capabilities", said Bolani, who has been assigned to direct and assist the troops.
Meanwhile the Pentagon said armed US drones were now flying over Baghdad to defend American military advisers and diplomats. A senior US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said "a few" drones were being used to safeguard Americans, but they would not be used for offensive action against the militants.
The Pentagon confirmed some were carrying bombs and missiles.
The US flights come despite the insistence of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that "Baghdad is safe" from militant assault.
