Sir Alex would never entertain England job
Sir Alex Ferguson would never have considered managing England.
In his recently-published autobiography, former Football Association executive director David Davies claims he asked Ferguson whether he would take charge of the Three Lions - and on each occasion the response was negative.
Ferguson has refused to confirm the approaches. Indeed, he cast doubt on them. However, the Manchester United manager said there is no way he would have done it anyway.
"There is absolutely no chance,'' he said.
In Fabio Capello, Ferguson does feel England have the right man in place now.
A long-standing rival at club level, Capello has impressed the United boss with his handling of England's highly-paid stars.
Four successive wins for the first time at the start of World Cup qualifying tells its own story - and the Italian has definitely been given Ferguson's seal of approval.
"Fabio has done very well,'' he said.
"He has grasped the nettle, assessed the situation and put his own fingerprints on the job. That was important.
"He has this mental toughness, which means he can handle anything.''
One thing Capello will not be handling is media intrusion into the World Cup campaign in South Africa.
If, as expected, England reach the competition, he will hardly need Rio Ferdinand to tell him the 'circus' that followed England round in Baden-Baden should not be repeated.
With high-profile wives and girlfriends photographed on a regular basis as they shared a hotel with the media who had travelled to report on the exploits of Sven-Goran Eriksson's team, the entire month seemed like one glamorous fashion shoot.
In the end, those images became more noteworthy than the England squad itself.
Ferdinand, named vice-captain by Capello following his appointment as Steve McClaren's successor, struck a chord with many by his considered verdict - and Ferguson feels the Manchester United defender was right.
"When I was reading about all these things, I did wonder about what impact it would have when all the players' wives were together,'' said the United boss.
"If Rio felt that was an encumbrance on the team, I am sure Fabio Capello is quite well aware of it.''
Having family so close, for the entire duration of the tournament, seems at odds with the professional approach required for England to reach their potential.
It seems unlikely Capello would countenance a repeat if, as has been reported, England base themselves at a plush hotel between Port Elizabeth and Cape Town should they reach South Africa 2010.
"To succeed in football you must have a certain discipline and make certain sacrifices,'' said Ferguson.
"That has always been the case here.''

Robert Haldane
|Robert Haldane
17 February 1764
|18 December 1842(aged 78)
|University of Edinburgh
|Scottish theologian
|Years active
|Known for
|Christian evangelization
|Catherine Cochrane Oswald
|Margaret Haldane
|James Haldane, 2nd of Airthrey and Katherine Duncan
Robert Haldane (28 February 1764 – 12 December 1842) was a Scottish churchman.
Haldane was born in London, the son of James Haldane 2nd of Airthrey House, and his wife Katherine Duncan. His younger brother James Alexander Haldane was also a clergyman. Robert and James attended classes at Dundee Grammar School, the Royal High School in Edinburgh, and the University of Edinburgh.
In 1780 Robert joined HMS Monarch of which his maternal uncle, Adam Duncan, was in command. In the following year he was transferred to HMS Foudroyant. He was on HMS Foudroyant under John Jervis during the night engagement in April 1782 with the French ship Pegase and greatly distinguished himself. Haldane was afterwards present at the relief of Gibraltar in September 1782. Some months later after the peace treaty of 1783 he left the Royal Navy.
Soon after leaving the Navy, he settled on his estate of Airthrey, near Stirling. After selling Airthrey House in 1798 to Robert Abercromby to obtain funding for his mission work, he bought a home at Auchengray, Lanarkshire in 1809.[1]
Robert Haldane, 3rd of Airthrey married Catherine Cochrane Oswald, daughter of George Oswald of Scotstoun, on 24 April 1785. They were married for 58 years. Robert died on 18 December 1842 (aged 78), Catherine six months afterward.
They had one daughter, Margaret Haldane, who married James Farquhar Gordon in 1805. Margaret died on 29 September 1849. [1]
Church and ministry[edit]
Along with his brother, James Haldane, Robert Haldane established 85 churches in Scotland and Ireland. Churches planted by the Haldanes practiced baptism by immersion, weekly communion, and congregational polity (autonomous government). The Haldanes also operated a seminary, and were influenced in their principles by other independent thinkers such as John Glas and Robert Sandeman.
His tutor was David Bogue of Gosport. The earlier phases of the French Revolution excited a sympathy which induced him to avow his strong disapproval of the war with France. As his over-optimistic visions of a new order of things to be ushered in by political change disappeared, he began to direct his thoughts to religious subjects. Resolving to devote himself and his means wholly to the advancement of Christianity, his first proposal for that end, made in 1796, was to organize a vast mission to Bengal, of which he was to provide the entire expense; with this view the greater part of his estate was sold, but the British East India Company refused to sanction the scheme, which therefore had to be abandoned.
In December 1797 he also joined his brother and some others in the formation of the "Society for the Propagation of the Gospel at Home," in building chapels or "tabernacles" for congregations, in supporting missionaries, and in maintaining institutions for the education of young men to carry on the work of evangelization. He is said to have spent more than £70,000 in the course of the following twelve years (1798-1810). He also funded John Campbell's Society for the Education of Africans which initially planned to evangelise in Africa by bringing over native children to be trained as Christian missionaries in Edinburgh. However, owing to an outbreak of small-pox, the group of children remained in the London area at what became known as the African Academy in Clapham.
In the summer of 1816 Robert Haldane visited Europe, first at Geneva and afterwards in Montauban. He lectured and interviewed large numbers of theological students with remarkable effect; among them were César Malan, Frédéric Monod and Jean-Henri Merle d'Aubigné. This circle of men spread the revival of evangelical Protestant Christianity across the continent of Europe (Le Réveil), impacting France, Germany (Die Erweckung) and the Netherlands (Het Reveil). Through conversion and missionary impetus the effects of this revival were felt as far afield as Italy and Hungary.
Haldane lived partly on his estate of Auchengray and partly in Edinburgh at 10 Duke Street [2] (later renamed Dublin Street), and like his brother took an active part, chiefly through the press, in many of the religious controversies of the time.
In 1816 he published a work on the Evidences and Authority of Divine Revelation, and in 1819 the substance of his theological prelections in a Commentaire sur l'Epitre aux Romains. Among his later writings, besides numerous pamphlets on what was known as the Apocrypha controversy, are a treatise On the Inspiration of Scripture (1828), which passed through many editions, and a later Exposition of the Epistle to the Romans (1835), which has been frequently reprinted, and has been translated into French and German.
- The Evidence and Authority of Divine Revelation, 1839
- The Books of the Old and New Testaments Proved to be Canonical, and their Verbal Inspiration Maintained and Established; with an Account of the Introduction and Character of the Apocrypha, 1830

Written comments should be provided to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Northeast District Office at 7825 Baymeadows Way, Suite B-200, Jacksonville, Florida 32256-7590. Any written comments filed shall be made a vailable for public inspection. If written comments received result in a significant change in the proposed agency action, the Department shall revise the proposed permit and require, if applicable, another Public Notice. A person whose substantial interests are affected by the proposed permitting decision may petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes (F.C.). The petition must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received) in the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida,32399-3000. Petitions filed by the permit applicant or any of the parties listed below must be filed within fourteen days of receipt of this notice of intent. Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S. must be filed within fourteen days of publication of the public notice or within fourteen days of receipt of this notice of intent, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who asked the Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within fourteen days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the date of publication. A petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above at the time of filing. The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person's right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57 F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent intervention will be only at the approval of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Department's action is based must contain the following information: (a) T he name and address of each agency affected and each agency's file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner, the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner's representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner's substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of how and when petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed action; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact.

A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which the Department's action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Department's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Department on the application have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above. The application is available for public inspection during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays, at the Department of Environmental Protection, Northeast District Office, 7825 Baymeadows Way, Suite B200, Jacksonville, Florida 32256-7590.

Musical Therapy for the Masses
Dr. Zeuss and the Blue Whos was formed in 1991 for the purpose of performing honest roots music with energy and enthusiasm. Two decades later, that still hasn't changed. Some would argue, neither has their paycheque. But that's another story.
The band is made up of seven musicians, featuring the horn section fondly known as "The Brassouls", and Dave and his magic flute. Every one of the Blue Whos is a professional musician with decades of experience. Most of the players are multi-instrumentalists with proficiency in a variety of ever-expanding musical styles.That being said, there are really only three things that matter when they play together:
1: Have fun.
2: Don't break anything.
3: Put the phones away.
Alas, as the inimitable Meatloaf once sang, "Two outta three ain't bad."
Who, What, Where, When, Why, Who?
Who's the Whos?
Read the bios of the Blue Whos and get to know them better than they know themselves... on second thought, don't, because that would just be weird...
A diverse selection of music stemming from the diverse range of taste that seven fairly mature men can kinda agree upon...
Upcoming Shows
Maybe you can be there... maybe you can't. It doesn't really matter because we'll be there. Actually, it would be a teeny bit more fun if you were there too...

5 Things You Care About Today In College Sports
Here's what's going on today in college sports:
5. Men's Basketball: California vs. Wisconsin @ 4:00 on Big Ten Network: Okay, so the day after the college football regular season ends isn't the most thrilling day in college sports. But Bo Ryan's team is well-coached and it's always fun to watch some high-profile inter-conference matchups.
4. College Football Coaching Changes: It's that time of the year again when a lot of coaches will get the dreaded "Coach, [INSERT Athletic Director HERE] would like to see you in his office." Skip Holtz was already fired from South Florida this morning. Who's next?
3. College Basketball: George Mason vs. Maryland @ 2:30 on FOX Sports Network: George Mason is one of the best mid-majors in the country every year now, and they face off against a traditional ACC power in Maryland. Both of these teams should be decent again this year, and this is an early-season matchup worth flipping to…at least for the end.
2. BCS Bowl Selection Show, 8:30 PM, ESPN: Sure, you can probably plug in most of the matchups on your own, but there's likely to be a few big surprises. These are set to be the best games of the college football season, so make sure to tune to see who plays in January.
1. College Football Bowl Selection Show, 9:30, ESPN: So not every team can play in a BCS bowl, but many will still have a chance to finish their seasons with big wins to springboard themselves into 2013. Bowl season lasts for a solid 3-4 weeks, and this show will allow you to fill out your couch calendar for December and January.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to qualify for organ transplants.
After a massive heart attack nearly killed him, a Navy Veteran from Monongalia County found out he didn't. To survive he relies on technology that leaves him without a pulse and a properly functioning heart.
Okey Simmons, 74, spends much of his day in his wood shop, perfecting his craft.
It's an art made possible by a small pump connected to his heart.
"I was talking to my brother on the phone, I said I'd have to hang up because I wasn't breathing well," said Simmons. I wasn't aware I was having a heart attack. I had just had three hip operations with different doctors, and each of them said what a strong heart I had, they said I had the heart of a younger man."
In November of 2012 Simmons had a massive heart attack that destroyed 90 percent of his heart.
"Once they got me cleaned up and figured out what was wrong I got two choices," he said. "Clean me up and send me home or put this in."
He had a Left Ventricle Assist Devise implanted in heart. It's a pump that constantly circulates blood through his body, but Simmons said it doesn't come without it's complications.
"You can't administer CPR to me, especially using those paddles," he said. "If you put those paddles on my chest and it would literally blow me up. That's the danger, and if these guys don't know how to handle somebody with this, they could kill them."
The LVAD pump is primarily used on patients waiting for a transplant. It leaves him without a pulse and if passed out, many could mistake him for dead. That's why he's trying to help learn more about it.
"We need to be taught about this," Simmons added. "The emergency personnel, local hospitals need to bone up on it, because just about every doctor has told me they never heard of it."
Doctors told Simmons patients usually live for several months with the device. He's made it more than a year. Which was far better than the alternative he was once left with.
"I may have lived for a few days, a few weeks. But I'd have had another attack and that'd be the end of it."

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — A judge found Boiling Spring Lakes Mayor Richard White not guilty today of three counts of sexual battery and one count of assaulting a female.
Susan Prater swore out warrants against White last fall after she claimed White, who was an investigator in the District Attorney's Office when the two met, touched her inappropriately and that she felt threatened.
On the stand today, Prater said she believe officials in the case and WWAY were involved in a conspiracy against her.
Prater testified for several hours Monday and for a couple of more hours today after a one-day break in the trial.
It was quiet in the courtroom after Judge Scott Ussery announced his verdict. He made it clear there would be no further discussion of the matter or there would be jail time.
Because of the involvement of a former employee of the Brunswick County District Attorney's Office, a prosecutor from Fayetteville was brought in to hangle the case.

Leander (Texas) High School is quickly becoming a hot spot for college scholarship offers to appear. Recently another prospect, this time wide receiver Curenski Gilleylen, got on the board with his first four offers.
UTEP, Rice, Purdue, and Missouri have all offered the 6-foot, 210-pounder. Gilleylen says that he's not going to rush anything with favorites, but recently returned from a camp and could be expecting more offers to come.
"I'm just taking it all in stride right now," Gilleylen said. "I just got back from the Oklahoma State camp in Houston this past week. That went pretty well. It was raining for about two hours when we got there. I did okay through that. They could offer, but I don't want to say so if I'm not for sure."
Article Continues Below
One school that has been sending him consistent mail is Miami. If an offer were to come, Gilleylen says he'd have a hard time turning it down.
"I'm excited about that for sure," Gilleylen said. "I might get a chance to go down there this summer to work out for them. That is kind of a favorite right now."
Gilleylen doesn't have any definite camp plans other than Miami. He's going to check in with his teammates and try to go to some events together.
Other than that, he's being patient with his decision.
"I really want to commit after my senior season," he said. "I know if I have a good year, things can pop up."

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by Blaznlow, Sep 2, 2010.
is there a setting where you can adjust how often your inbox is updated?
Don't quote me on this, but I think the Epic does push email and will update whenever an email is received. So there is no need to setup a sync time. I checked under settings > accounts & sync and there is no option to adjust it.
I have my phone on my desk at work and I always know I have an email b/c my phone picks up the emails way before my gmail inbox on my firefox refreshes.
Yes you can adjust how often it will check email. Here's the thing though, I found this once during initial setup, but I can't find it now! I went back to settings> accounts & sync, but the option wasn't there, but I know its somewhere. Can someone else help with this?
Hi, I too have this same question. I cannot find anywhere in Settings > Accounts and Sync, or in the Settings in the Gmail app where you can set how often the email Syncs. It seems like you either sync all the time, or you don't sync at all. About once an hour would be perfect for me.
I'd like to conserve battery life by not have it sync'ing constantly, but would be nice not having to remember to refresh my gmail app periodically.
From the homescreen - menu - accounts & sync - uncheck auto sync
You can then manually refresh your GMail inbox
Okay I've got it. The way you set up how frequently gmail will check your mail is.
Click the email widget on your Home screen, then click the menu button> account setting> Email check frequency.
I don't believe that it is there with the Gmail app, but it is there with the Email app. So it depends on what app you are using.
If gmail is your email address you setup on the phone, then yes it will bring in your emails according to how frequently you set your preferences.
If gmail is your email address you setup on the phone, then yes it will bring in your emails according to how frequently you set your preferences.
Please delete, mistakenly posted twice.
There is no frequency option in the gmail app. Only in the email app. Gmail is push if using the gmail app.

*** Mini-Challenge: 350 - Happy holidays! ***
A big thank you to Nick for the great honor to host this challenge!
This challenge will be all about the holidays! Any association (be it religious or not) you have with the holidays is good! Pictures of food, family, traditions, lights, candles, fireworks, pranks you play on family members etc is what I'm looking for.
This challenge will run until 28th of December 20:00u west european time.
Looking forward to your entries!
The regular rules apply.
The host gives you a topic of interest. You post a maximum of three images. Any picture you've taken is eligible regardless of time taken and camera.
You can do all the post processing you want. However, it is most helpful if you list your camera and lens along with your photo (because we like to know).
Feel free to comment on other contestant's images. If you want people to give you constructive criticism, ask for C&C.
The host chooses the winner. The host's decision is final. The host is not eligible.
The winner then hosts the next challenge, judges the winner, and passes on the baton to that person. The winner has 48 hours to post the new challenge. If that doesn't happen 2nd place has 24 hours to do so, and if that doesn't happen it's up to the 3rd place winner.
Posting Guidelines
When posting your picture, change the Subject of your post to display your picture titles and/or your name. This way, when someone replies it will refer specifically to you. If all entries read "Re: * Mini-Challenge xxx - ... " it would be very boring to scan the list.
Either embed your image in the thread or, if you must, supply a link to it. Keep in mind, however, most people don't want to click to open photos hosted elsewhere (i.e. on your website).
You may enter up to 3 pictures, but put them in a single post. Please give a title to each photo, this makes it easier to differentiate when giving comments.
Please size your photo no bigger than around 1200 pixels on the longest dimension. This is to let those with smaller monitors to see your image at full resolution. Please limit the file size of your entries to conserve bandwidth.
As a show of courtesy, and to save bandwidth, please remove the original post when replying, so you don't bring back any previous photos.

Enfield Bridge is the first chapter of the second act in Gears of War: Judgment. It is also the first time you get to play as Sofia Hendrik in single player.
After a lengthy cutscene in which Sofia tells her motives in aiding Baird in his mission, you start outside of the sewers and, after you knock a door, you see the Academy burning and a lot of dead Gears. Next, you go left downstairs and the Declassified Mission is at the right corner.
Declassified MissionEdit
"Kilo Squad claimed to take Enfield Bridge, and defeat several Reavers, without additional support and despite lack of supplies."
Activating the Declassified Mission will leave you with little ammo, almost none at all, and without access to Longshots, meaning that you're gonna have to do some CQC to get through the enemies and to watch out for any additional Reavers from the flanks.
There'll be several turrets and outposts across the bridge. You can try flanking them but watch out for Wretches and Therons as they will try to ambush you. There might also be some Snipers and Grenadiers. After you're done with the first turret, several Reavers will attack you from the right side. You'll have little ammo so try using the turret to take them out. However, if they land, it is advisable to take cover and fire until they die. You might need to be patient.
Once all Reavers are out, some Flame Grenadiers will open a path for you. There'll be more turrets and Reavers; try taking the gunners out with grenades and then use the turrets to kill the Reavers or ambush them while they fire at your partners. Once you're done, walk towards the main gate which leads you to the next chapter.
Behind the first turret, at the destroyed part of the bridge, there's a COG Tag at the left side next to some rubble.

Bill Radke: The Commerce Department will set up a new "Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship" to help start-up companies get financing and access to government R&D Commerce Secretary Gary Locke made the announcement yesterday at Inc magazine's annual conference in Washington:
Gary Locke: This new office will be geared toward the first step in the business cycle: moving an idea from someone's imagination or from a research lab into a business plan.
And yes, there are new companies thriving, even in this stalled economy. From the Entrepreneurship Desk at Oregon Public Broadcasting, Mitchell Hartman reports.
Mitchell Hartman: At this week's Inc 5000 conference, they're celebrating entrepreneurial companies that have continued to expand in spite of the recession.
Inc editor Rod Kurtz:
Rod Kurtz: You hear optimism. They've weathered the storm. And the unique thing about entrepreneurs is that when everyone else is hunkering down, they're out there hiring, trying to drum up new business, because they know when everyone else thinks the sky is falling, that's a great opportunity for them.
Many companies on the Inc list -- from insurance to personal fitness, retirement services and transportation -- grew more than 1,000 percent in 2008.
Kurtz: About 75 percent of all new jobs in this country are created by small businesses. Keep in mind that most of these companies were founded probably within the past 10 years. These are jobs that literally didn't exist till these companies came along.
Also worth keeping in mind, though: new firms fail at a high rate. And small businesses have been shedding jobs at a rapid pace. So in the short run, it may be tough for entrepreneurs to create enough jobs to lead the way out of recession.
I'm Mitchell Hartman for Marketplace.

5 am at your front door, past out from the night before,
Do you find me disrespectful?
What a shame it wasn't your place, I'm such a disgrace,
How could I be so forgetful?
I do remember 4 am when the fire still had an ember,
It was then I saw your cute face,
But it seems that it was just a dream,
As I ended up in a fiery brace.

Fishing to save lives
In northern Mozambique, fishing is life. It's the primary source of protein for villagers, and the livelihood behind artisanal fishermen and the thousands employed in fisheries markets.
Like many other fisheries around the world, however, Mozambique's oceans are being overexploited and illegally looted, resulting in fragile ecological systems that are incapable of producing more fish and are bordering on collapse.
For citizens in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, overwhelmingly sustained by fisheries, the situation has become dire.
International scientists have predicted that current global rates of overfishing, pollution, habitat loss and climate change will see the world's oceans empty of fish by 2048.
In Cabo Delgado it may come earlier, said local representative of the Global Fish Alliance Isabel Ferreira.
"The problem of overexploited natural fisheries throughout Cabo Delgado province is exacerbated by illegal marine-stripping by citizens from neighbouring countries, such as Tanzania," Ferreira said.
"Fishers also destroy the corals in their efforts to find the lairs of octopuses."
Fish production
In the port city of Pemba, which has the third-largest bay in the world, an increasing number of fishermen return from the sea empty-handed.
In five to 15 years, predict specialists, the artisanal tradition of these fisherman may no longer exist because of the damage to the ecosystems.
"For us today, life is not easy because we stay in the sea for hours and sometimes we come back with nothing, or just small fish. Some people are even using mosquito nets to catch the smallest fish," said one fisherman.
Fish production in Pemba totalled 8 600 tonnes in 2013. This was enough to supply just 9kg of fish to each inhabitant, below the World Health Organisation's recommendation of 11kg per person.
"The business of sustainable fishing is to support the communities, and to organise and improve fishing practices," said Ferreira.
She cited the practice of using mosquito nets, which catch tiny fish and prevent them from maturing and reproducing.
"These fish," she said, "will disappear unless ecological knowledge and appropriate techniques are passed on."
Pemba bay is characterised by corals and nurseries where fish deposit eggs and multiply. Mosquito nets destroy the eggs and damage the corals.
Other problems resulting in devastated ecosystems, not just in Pemba, but throughout Cabo Delgado, include disappearing sea turtles, shark poaching for the fins, depletion of shellfish and pollution from large ships.
Coral reefs
Marine biologist Isabel Marques da Silva said the northern coast of Mozambique still had some of the best-preserved coral reefs in the Indian Ocean.
"These corals are less exposed to the impacts of climate change due to the configuration of the islands, which have great depths between them, enabling more water to move between the islands and cover the corals."
Da Silva is working on a model, previously implemented in Madagascar, where for periods of one or two months people are not allowed to fish in certain areas, giving those particular fisheries time to recover. She is also focusing on women who, as the main householders, catch octopus to feed their families.
They are encouraged to catch octopuses weighing more than 2kg instead of small ones.
"This management of their own catch will bring more benefits for these women in the long run," said Da Silva. "We can't force them to change, it must come from them. Once they can see it is more sustainable, they can choose for themselves."
Perhaps a bigger threat to the coral reefs are the pipelines and drilling for natural gas along the coastline.
South Africa's Sasol and Italian company ENI are among the companies eyeing the commercial development of more than 65-trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas offshore of northern Mozambique.
Several non-governmental organisations are dealing with these issues through a fishery management project under the umbrella of the Global Initiative for Fisheries Management. It aims to help create sustainable fisheries for ecological conservation as well as community needs in Cabo Delgado.
"Our greatest tool is communication," said Robert Martin from the US-based Centre for Environment, Energy and Economic Development.
"It's a global initiative and we have similar projects in Honduras and Cambodia."
Cabo Delgado's former provincial director of fisheries, Mário António Carvalho, said one of the ways to save the livelihoods of artisanal fishermen would be to enable them to fish in the open sea.
"In Cabo Delgado the artisanal fishermen are confined to fishing within three miles of their territory," said Carvalho. "Certain fish types are in constant motion and this means that the local fishermen lose out if they do not catch them here. The government's strategy is to try to keep these resources accessible during the period when they are in our waters."
Illegal fishing
Illegal fishing is a constant in the area, according to João Manuel from the World Wide Fund (WWF) for Nature in Cabo Delgado.
"We have found some Tanzanian vessels engaged in illegal fishing, even within the Quirimba National Park," he said. "This poaching normally occurs in the most remote areas, away from police scrutiny."
Illegal techniques used by the poachers include sharing a diving gas bottle among a group diving at the same time, said Da Silva. "They bring generators and compressors to fill the air in their bottles. In Mozambique these are forbidden techniques.
"Groups of six or seven illegal divers aggressively strip the oceans and they are unafraid of the villagers, the chief and even the police," she said.
A Tanzanian ship recently seized by WWF inside the Quirimbas marine protected area was laden with sharks, turtles, stingrays and more than 50 litres of shark oil. It had been trawling the corals and the sea grass along the bottom of the ocean during low tide using mosquito nets.

In a raucous debate, the council voted 32-15 to approve zoning changes for Wal-Mart to construct a 150,000-square-foot superstore in a poor, largely black and Hispanic neighborhood on the West Side.
But the council rejected a second store that Wal-Mart wanted to build in a racially diverse, largely middle-class South Side neighborhood. The vote was 25-21, just shy of the majority of the 50-member council needed to make the zoning change.
The action means that for the time being, Detroit and the five boroughs of New York City are the only top 10 urban markets without a Wal-Mart store or approval to build one.
The Bentonville, Ark.-based discount chain ran into fierce opposition from community leaders and politicians who claim Wal-Mart pays substandard wages and drives small stores out of business.
"We are dealing with a huge company with a long history of predatory practices," said Alderman Helen Shiller, also accusing Wal-Mart of not providing adequate health care.
"They count on the city to provide assistance to their workers," she said. "We are creating more loss than gains."
Alderman Emma Mitts countered that people in her West Side ward need the jobs: "Take a ride in my area and see what I am dealing with day in and day out. There's a lack of jobs and opportunity."
The United Food and Commercial Workers union also opposed the plan, offering testimonials from two Wal-Mart employees who alleged mistreatment by the company.
A call to Wal-Mart's headquarters seeking comment was not returned.
Wal-Mart promised to find minority subcontractors to help build its stores and do its best to fill 75 to 80 percent of the 500 jobs with local residents.
In April, voters in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood rejected a superstore.
Earlier this week, a preservation group put all of Vermont on its list of America's most endangered places, warning that Wal-Mart's big-box stores threaten the New England state's small-town charm.

Maybe this is an emergency repair - and maybe it's a clever way to level and position the kitchen cabinets when someone had to install them without help. You should have seen the rig I put together to install drywall on a ceiling by myself!

I confess that most of you would probably think I'm a s****y parent. . . *EDIT* *AND AGAIN*
. . . because I don't treat my children like the sun shines out of their asses. Because it *doesn't*. (And it doesn't shine out of your kids' asses, either.)
I am now almost 26 years old (in August) and I have had custody of my 3 nieces for over 3 years now. They are 14, 13 & 11. I saved them from a much worse fate of an extremely broken, unstable, abusive home OR the state.
I love them. I love them more than anything else on earth and I have provided and cared for them to the best of my ability for these past 3 years. They have everything they need, lots of things they want, and they are not abused nor neglected.
That being said, I don't worship the ground they walk on & praise their every waking moment. First of all, that's not my nature considering I'm an introverted and repressed human being. Secondly, that's not preparing them for real life.
The real world doesn't think you're special for getting out of bed in the morning, brushing your teeth, eating breakfast, going to school, etc. Everybody has to do this. This is the daily grind.
I also don't wait on them hand and foot and wipe their asses for them. They have daily chores & are usually responsible for their breakfast & lunch during the summer when they are out of school. That's right--I usually only cook dinner. How blasphemous! Are you going to cook, do laundry, clean, organize, etc. for your child for the rest of their life? If the answer is yes and you are fine with that, please feel free. If not--if you want your child to be able to live their own life and provide for themselves, TEACH THEM HOW. That is your responsiblity! Your responsiblity is not to raise a man-or-woman-child that will be mooching off of you until the day that you die. Your responsibility is to raise an *adult* that can be self-sufficient when that time comes--and it WILL come. So please do the right thing for both of you and start doing *less* and teaching more.
I see so many parents (usually women) putting pressure on other parents (also usually women) to do *more and more* for their kids. You are considered a shitty parent by the standards of many if you aren't a do-it-all super mom. I don't cave to this kind of pressure. I've always been comfortable with who I am, what I'm doing, and where I am in life. There are so many parents out there that are not that fortunate & always doubting themselves. STOP!!
"If you don't keep your house immaculate, cook 3 multiple-course meals a day, bake your own fucking bread, take your kids to extra-curricular activities, and look like a rock-star doing it all, you are doing it WRONG."
This is not okay. This is adding stress & anxiety onto the stress & anxiety of just being a parent to begin with. As a parent, you are still a person with needs & desires. I fulfill mine. My children are provided for and taken care of. I don't have to "neglect" them to do so. I enjoy my alone time. They are not off foraging through dumpsters while I'm having it. They are fine.
So many people need to start living in the real world with me.
Moms, give yourselves a break, and be sure that break also extends to others.
I just wanted to clarify for those of you saying that I don't understand because I didn't raise them from when they were little. I did.
I started at 15 when they were born. I changed diapers, made bottles, burped, held, rocked, dressed, cleaned up after, etc. I had to quit school to do it because I knew that nobody else was going to and nobody cared enough to make me stay in school. Then, at 18, I moved out of that awful situation knowing that I had to get my shit together and get them out, too. It took me a long time, but I did it.
Obviously I am not expecting your 9 month old to pop a frozen pizza into the toaster oven. I am not that dense.
It's completely understandable to do these things when they can't do them for themselves. However, when they can, it's time to start teaching them.
By the way, I hear you all and I'm loving all the different opinions coming in and the support. I hope I keep reading tons more!
Also, I gotta say, I'm new here and I didn't expect this many trolls on a mommy board. I play MMO's (if anybody even knows what those are), and they are absolutely full of them. I think it's just women--we hate each other and don't even know why. I hate that. Like I already said, we should be more supportive of each other.
I want to be able to respond to everybody, but holy shit, this thread blew UP. lol
I've seen quite a few "Of course it's easy because you are taking care of grown (grown? still don't know why people keep saying 14, 13 & 11 are grown. they still have a lot to learn) children that already know how to get themselves up in the morning, make their own food, dress themselves, etc."
NEWSFLASH: they didn't when I first got them. I know that not everybody here comes from a broken/ abusive/neglected home. And I'm happy for them. I don't wish that upon them. But unless you come from a place like that, you will never never never NEVER be able to understand the effect that it has on you, and you will never *KNOW* what these kids can and can't do for themselves. I responded to one of these women, but it got lost in all of the other replies, so I'm posting it here because I feel like it's an important detail that so many of you are overlooking and misjudging.
When I got these girls, they didn't know how to do these things. In their original environment, they *did* raise themselves. They were not parented. They were literally left to run around the house and do whatever the hell they wanted on a 24/7/365 basis. They did not bathe nor brush their teeth. They did not know how to dress themselves. And even if they did, they rarely had weather appropriate, matching or fitting clothes. They didn't have manners, responsibilities, morals, social traits, and most other basic functions. *IF* they ate, it was processed or junk food. They rarely had a bed to even sleep on and would end up just passing out on the floor, couch, or wherever they ended up. Sometimes they didn't even get to school because nobody cared enough to get up and make sure they got there. This list goes on and on. I couldn't even begin to cover it.
Not to mention the turmoil of losing the "parents" that were raising them for several years. Yes, I am the better alternative. Yes, they were mistreated. But that doesn't mean they weren't attached to them and didn't love them and don't miss them every single day.
Just because you turn 10 one day doesn't mean that you are automatically on par and act like an average 10 year old. You need to be taught things. And what in the hell makes people think that if they came from a negative environment like the one I described that they would know how to do all of this and implement it?
It has been a rough 3 years to say the least (for all of us), but I have made miles & miles of progress with them and at this point you would probably never know that they aren't just normal kids by looking at them.
Pull your heads out of your asses, ladies. There are people in this world that came from fucked up places. Just because you were lucky enough not to, doesn't mean everybody was so fortunate.
Also, I know I already said this, but thank you to all of you ladies that have been so supportive. It is truly appreciated!! Bless you all and your precious families!
It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings.
Also, a little video games never hurt.
Quoting chamamahaha: Hum, maybe because they arent ur real kids u didnt develop that type of bond
I think there is a balance to be had. I am very encouraging while trying to make most things a learning experience.
Quoting Leissaintexas: Nope, my kids are all my "real" kids and I'm the same way. I'm not going to enable helplessness and dependence. Sounds like the op figured out in 3 yearsvwhat it takes "real" moms decades to find out.Quoting chamamahaha: Hum, maybe because they arent ur real kids u didnt develop that type of bond
Now, tell us who you really feel. :P
Seriously though, I like your style :)
My Ds17, ds10, and Dd5 all know how to make their own breakfast and lunch, make their own bed, pick up their rooms, put dirty clothes in the washer (I do the wash though), walk the dog or at least put him outside on the leash, clean the cat boxes, sweep, mop and generally clean up after themselves. On the weekends, all chores have to be done and checked before the wifi password for that day is handed out.

I'm with you. My the sun doesn't shine out of anyone's ass. My kids are responsible for a lot of their own stuff.

Quoting teenkabear:Quoting chamamahaha: Hum, maybe because they arent ur real kids u didnt develop that type of bond
It has nothing to do with a bond. No, we don't have that biological bond. They did not come from me. I've always understood that. It has to do with the way certain parents are raising their kids--in my opinion, the wrong way if they want them to be self-sufficient (which is a large part of happiness.)

Droid X to Have Many Pre-Installed ApplicationsFiled under News by Adam on June 20, 2010 at 1:09 PM
PhoneArena has gotten word that the Motorola Droid X will come with a plethora of pre-installed apps in addition to the standard Google apps on Android phones. Some will enjoy the pre-installed apps, but others may insist on having a clean and clear phone on purchase.
Included Apps
- Blockbuster Online
- FM Radio App
- Motorola Phone Portal
- Skype
- Backup Assistant
- City ID
- Motorola DLNA
- Visual Voicemail
- Verizon 3G Mobile Hotspots App
The phone world, since the rise of the feature and smart-phone, has slowly been migrating to the place PC manufacturers went a long time ago with pre-installed applications. This has users wondering, will we soon see bloatware slowing down our phones and causing problems? Almost every single PC manufacturer has created deals with anti-virus software companies like Norton and McAfee, but these pre-installed trial anti-virus programs have been a stumbling block to inexperienced computer users. Bloatware has created a plethora of problems for PC buyers: slower performance, hard to remove popups and notifications, security problems. Is the phone industry willing to let the same thing happen to mobile devices? Just weeks ago, we saw the first complaints of an EVO 4G security hole that would allow app developers access to users' personal information. And the HTC Sense bookmarks widget on the Droid Incredible has led to saved browser screenshots. An Android developer working on root for the EVO 4G (unrEVOked.com) said weeks ago,
"The Sprint customizations of Android are so bad that an Android application could get access to all of your data with very little work. It's so bad that I would not recommend purchasing the Sprint EVO or Hero."
While the vulnerability was patched, and HTC is working on a patch for the Droid Incredible bookmark screenshots leak, phone manufacturers and carriers are walking on very thin ice with the pre-installed apps, skins, and bloatware on mobile phones.

" Author: Agatha Christie / Genre: Crime / Thriller "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Six years after their first adventure with "The Secret Adversary", Tommy and Prudence "Tuppence" Beresford find themselves living a life which is pleasant, if somewhat dull and predictable. Railing against this Tuppence declares she needs excitement and peril once more, that the comfortable and safe existence they lead is not something she enjoys and that she longs for the time when they had to take great risks. Tommy, who at least has the diversion of the office work he does for the Secret Service, is less concerned about the monotony of the day to day life they have, yet when a knock on the door brings an important visitor both seize the opportunity offered to them instantly. The caller is Tommy's chief (it is unstated whether he is just the head of Tommy's department or whether he is the head of the whole of the Secret Service) who has a somewhat unusual proposition for both of them. Having taken over a failing detective agency - and having serious concerns over the conduct of the previous owner of the firm - Mr Carter instructs Tommy and Tuppence to take over the company, to maintain the illusion that Tommy is, in fact, Mr Blunt, the erstwhile detective currently in custody. All was not as it appeared to be at the agency, mysterious letters written on blue paper from Russia bearing the number 16 under the stamp have been turning up, apparently from a ham merchant concerned about his wife's disappearance, yet in reality containing far more sinister missives. Tommy and Tuppence are therefore to run the agency as a normal investigation unit, yet to be constantly aware of the impending appearance not only of the letters, but also of the mysterious organiser behind them. Over the course of the next few stories they are embroiled in a series of adventures ranging from the humourous and light hearted, to the more indepth and dangerous and all of them building up to the possibility of an encounter with the enigmatic "number 16".
One of the constant themes running throughout "Partners in Crime" is the amusing way in which Tommy and Tuppence attempt to emulate some of the most popular fictional detectives of either their time or shortly before and even to look for ways in which their investigations might tie in with the style of said stories. Sherlock Holmes, The Old Man in the Corner, Francis and Desmond Okewood and even Hercule Poirot, amongst others, are all imitated, the differing mannerisms of each portrayed admirably by the couple. Christie manages to present the reader with a truly humorous portrayal of each attempt, at times mocking the flaws inherent in the other stories (even with her own) and at others indicating the talents prevalent in them. Tommy's effort to emulate Holmes, for example, is soundly thwarted when his comment about riding a bus based on a ticket he sees is given an entirely unexpected answer. Moreover, Tommy offhandedly refers to Hastings as Poirot's "idiot friend", a description which is somewhat surprising if that was Christie's own view - as Hastings always appears naive and too trusting, but by no means an "idiot". However, this belief may have been that of the readers of those stories and Christie was reflecting that. It is interesting, therefore, when reading the short stories in "Partners in Crime" to rediscover many classic fictional detectives who have not managed to stay the course of time and to gain a small insight into finding out why the detective genre should have been so popular during the late Victorian era through to the 1940's. However, one criticism that must be made in relation to "Partners in Crime" is that, for a large part of the stories, it appears as though they are merely a vehicle for Christie to reveal her ability to mimic the other detectives and the issue of the actual investigations often seems to take somewhat of a back seat.
When considering the short stories as a whole, it is evident that Christie has adopted , for the most part, a fairly light tone towards them. Certaintly there are some cases which deal with murder, or in which Tommy or Tuppence are placed at a degree of risk, yet in the majority of tales there is the underlying impression that there is no significant danger (at least not to the ones who survive). It may be because of the brevity of the narratives, or the constant way in which other fictional investigators are emulated, but the vast majority of stories read as little more than "grippings yarns", or the sort of adventures seen in the films at the time. An exception to this is "The House of Lurking Death", which has a strong element of pathos about it and a couple of fairly chilling moments. As the rest of the stories are more "comfortable", this ensures that "The House of Lurking Death" stands out quite significantly. Throughout the other stories Christie's combined use of humour and adventure results in some very enjoyable reads. The unnecessarily elaborate means of death which one of the criminals instigates for Tommy in "Blindman's Buff", for example, is rather farcical and the gentle mysteries of "The Unshakeable Alibi" and "A Pot of Tea" provide us with an even more non threatening set of scenarios. Christie also is clear to point out that Tommy and Tuppence are very much amateurs in this field, mentioning a couple of failures and revealing the difficulties they have in solving the cases. Whilst they are both confident in their abilities - and with good reason - it is evident that they do not have the advantage of long years of practise that, say, Poirot or Sherlock Holmes might have. It is this aspect of their characters which makes them more accessible to the "ordinary" reader. There is the sense that Tommy and Tuppence could be comparable to almost any married couple their age at the time and this possibility of empathy by the readers increases the interest in the stories.
The personalities of Tommy and Tuppence and the way in which the dynamics of their relationship appear, is a further aspect which is very much prevalent at the time. Tommy is very much a product of his time and age, content to accept the status quo until somebody offers him the opportunity to move against it and with a fairly reserved and solid manner about him. This is not to say that he is dull, or unable to think for himself - as he clearly demonstrates throughout the stories that he is more than capable of both quick thought and deeds, but rather that, for a large part of the tales, he gives the impression of the "everyday man" of the times. In Tuppence, as well, we can see comparisons between her and other young women of the time. Caught between her own desires and the social constraints of the time Tuppence frequently attempts to assert her own demands on how she wants to live her life. Her situation is very much bound up with the era she is living in, her complaint that "twenty minutes work after breakfast every keeps the flat going to perfection" would today be countered with the suggestion that she at least tries to look for a job herself. Yet Tuppence's situation at the commencement of the stories is as a result of society's expectations upon her and Tommy. Tommy is expected to be able to provide for both her and him, the fact that his wife is not working and has only the option of "good works" as employment is indicative of this. Tuppence longs for excitement and independance, yet she does not consider going too far against the conventions of the time. Although the book was published in 1929 (and indeed mentions "The Big Four", also published in the same year, there are strong indications - based on the timing of "The Secret Adversary" and Tommy and Tuppence's age, that it is set several years earlier, at a point when women did not even have the vote (and certaintly not at Tuppence's age). It is ironic, then, that the societal beliefs of the point it is set should ensure that Tuppence is able to enter into the assignment so readily. This is not to say that a modern remake of "Partners in Crime" could be attempted, but some minor adjustments would be necessary.
With regard to the other characters within the story, there is a strong element of familiarity and repetition about much of them. Lawrence St Vincent and Mr Montgomery Jones appear very comparable, for example, and Lois Hargreaves and Monica Deane could almost be the same woman. Moreover, both "The Gentleman Dressed in Newspaper" and "The Man in the Midst" are very similar to two stories featuring Poirot, one a short story written in the 1920's, the other a novel published in the 1930's (unfortunately to say what they are would hint at the solution to them). In Inspector Marriot we can see the comparisons with Chief Inspector Japp, intelligent, accepting of outside help and yet perhaps employing more pedestrianised methods to solve a case than the private detectives. These familiar elements are, almost certaintly, deliberate on Christie's part. The "Partners in Crime" title may refer not only to the relationship between "Tommy and Tuppence, but also to the parallels of these narratives and other fictional detective works.
In conclusion, this collection of short stories manages to both entertain and amuse in a way which reveals Christie's versatile talents. Enjoyable as a light read, with nothing especially complicated about it, it presents us with a good portrayal not only of the characters of Tommy and Tuppence, but also of several other investigators. Whilst it lacks the strength of many of her other works, having neither the depth of, say "The Murder of Roger Acroyd" or the terror of "And Then There Were None" it is pleasant enough to read.
Agatha Christie's complete Tommy and Tuppence short story collection, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. Tommy and Tuppence Beresford were restless for adventure, so when they were asked to take over Blunt's International Detective Agency, they leapt at the chance. After their triumphant recovery of a pink pearl, intriguing cases kept on coming their way: a stabbing on Sunningdale golf course; cryptic messages in the personal columns of newspapers; and even a box of poisoned chocolates.

Traditions Re-Invented
West Virginia's annual Cast Iron Cook-Off® is an extravaganza that showcases the best of the best in the state's culinary arts. Teams of "foodies" led by West Virginia's finest chefs work diligently to produce original creations that are judged by a panel of nationally and internationally known culinary experts.
Hands busily lay out utensils, shake skillets, and sprinkle seasonings, as each team races the clock to produce a delectable, multicourse meal. The challenge: to take traditional recipes and reinvent them in a new, original style using homegrown West Virginia ingredients and cast iron cookware. Onlookers observe the preparations and ask the chefs questions about their recipes and methods.
"The Cast Iron Cook-Off is West Virginia's premier culinary event," says Dr. Allen Arnold, the Collaborative for the 21st Century Appalachia's founding director. "It brings together the region's finest chefs and their teams in a friendly competition that is 'eat-ertainment' at its best. The chefs' fuse global influences with traditional fare, and everybody uses local ingredients and cooks in cast iron. The result is a 'New Appalachian Cuisine' that is a culinary heritage reinvented."
The mission of the Cast Iron Cook-Off mirrors that of the Collaborative for the 21st Century Appalachia®, a group first envisioned by Arnold as a means of promoting culinary and cultural tourism. By promoting fine Appalachian cuisine made with locally grown ingredients and traditional cookware, the Collaborative aims to showcase Appalachian heritage while supporting local growers, producers, and eateries.
These observations on the Cast Iron Cook-Off® are excerpted from New Appalachian Cuisine® The Cast Iron Cook-Off®, an article by Travis Vandal in Wonderful West Virginia, published by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.
Travis Vandal is a seventh-grade English teacher and writer who traveled to all 55 counties in West Virginia in 2008. A photograph book of his travels is in the works.

Any help will be much appreciated. Something is killing my tomatoes - out of 11 plants, only one is still doing OK, and now it is beginning to show symptoms.
I am in Brooklyn, NYC - this is my third year growing tomatoes in my backyard, and I have not had this problem previously.
I don't believe it is a watering problem, as I have been using a water meter all summer to make sure that I don't over or under water.
I think it is one problem, but it may be two: first, the bottom leaves begin to turn brown and get very dry and crisp. This happens from the part of the leaf closest to the stem and works its way out to the tip of the leaf. The stipule (?) is not affected - just the leaflets.
Then a powdery, rusty looking dust starts growing over the whole plant. Some of the plants have become stunted, and their blossom clusters dry up and fall off. Other plants are fine from the top down, with continued vigorous growth, but the bottom leaves are dried out and dead. I think these plants which are still doing well on the top may have just gotten a better head-start on the season, and the disease has not caught up with them as quickly.
Any ideas as to what it is and if there is anything to be done about it? From some research I have done I think it may be tomato rust mites?
I could only figure out how to post one picture at a time, so I posted the one which best shows the rust/dust stuff.
The brown leaves just look like dead, dried up leaves.
I'm afraid there may not be any hope to save these plants, but I want to make sure this doesn't happen again next year. Unfortunately, I don't have the space to rotate where I plant my tomatoes, so it is their current location or nothing :(
rust-like blight/fungus/mites? killing my tomatoes
Any help will be much appreciated. Something is killing my tomatoes - out of 11 plants, only one is still doing OK, and now it is beginning to show symptoms.
Your plants look alot like mine, I have a call into my local county office to see if one of their "Master Gardeners" will come over and help me out. I have watched several of my plants shrivel up and die. It starts at the bottom, works it's way up even the tomatoes look funny! I'll keep you posted if anyone shows up! Good luck.
Lisa -
Wow! You have a lot of tomato plants!!!
Yep, that's what they look like, except mine also have the rusty/dust stuff on them.
Your picture looks like something I saw called "walnut blight" - it happens if you plant
tomatoes too close to a walnut or butternut tree. Apparently the roots give off a substance
which is toxic to tomatoes.
I know that's not what's wrong with mine, though, because there are no walnut trees near me,
and one of them is in a large pot on the patio, so it can't be absorbing anything from the surrounding
soil, and it has the crud too.
Here's a close up pic of a leaf - you can see how just the leaflets are affected, not the branch part of the leaf that they are attached to.
Your pictures suggest a viral wilt that is common in a large part of the Southeastern US. It begins when the plant begins to have tomatoes near ripening size and quickly spreads. Infected plants should be destroyed as there is no cure. Leaves turn inward from the bottom of the plant and then have a rust color sheen.

What you're referring to is TSWV which is a problem some but not all years where you live and surrounding states but the poster lives in Brooklyn, NY and I'm not aware of TSWV being in our area.
Red, I'm not sure what the problem is but I do know that rust mites are found almost exclusively in CA.
Do you use well water or municipal water? Just curious.
Have you contacted your local Extension Service to discuss this with them and bring in samples from your infected plants?
Carolyn: Please take a look at some of the research materials from Cornell University concerning Viral Wilt. It has spread across the U.S., and is a problem in New York. Where thrifts can be carried on produce by truck, the problem can exist.
What difference does well water make? I'm on well water (1st timer) and I've noticed large puffy white mushrooms popping up where things are damp, should I be worried? What else can be done about the mites? I sprayed with Malathion yesterday because I read that when I used the Sevin dust, I killed the bugs that eat the spider mites. Any help would be appreciated, I'm afraid I'm going to lose all 100 plants.
I have started more seeds, and I dont know where to plant them. How far away from the others would be safe if the plants are infected with the "wilt"?
Would a green house help?
orchidman1 and Carolyn
Thank you so much for your replies!
When I prune off the leaves with the dead leaflets, the inside "stem" of the leaf is very healthy! No browning or anything, no discoloration at all, no desiccation. The problem seems to be limited to the exterior of the plant. Also, the plants keep producing healthy suckers, which are then overtaken by the disease once they produce a significant amount of leaves - the problem doesn't seem to be internal, it seems to be external.
When I look at pictures of TSWV, none of them have the rusty-type "dust" which seems to be the main feature of what is going on with my plants. I'll post some more pix below, but see the first pic on this post for a good example of it.
Carolyn - I use the water that comes out of the spigot in my backyard in Brooklyn - I assume this is municipal water.
Here's the thing - I live in Brooklyn, but I ordered my plants from a place in California :(
Do you think it is rust mites? I really hope I haven't inadvertently infected Brooklyn with rust mites....
What can I do if it is rust mites? It has wiped out my plants and I really don't want this to happen again next year. Are there any sprays or anything I could use on the 3 (barely) survivng plants?
I'm trying to be organic, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
I didn't know such things as Extension Services existed in urban areas like NYC! I'll definitely try to look them up and see if they can help.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!!!
Below is a pic where you can really see the "rust/dust" whatever it is piled up on a little green tomato.
They look just like mine! I'm waiting for a call back from my ext office, I'll let you know what they offer...
Please let me know what your ext office says - I need all the help I can get!
The natural occurrence of TSWV in the field is well documented and is a serious problem in many southern states. Infections on greenhouse bedding plants now present an additional threat to neighboring vegetable growers, to vegetable growers who acquire transplants from greenhouses, and to vegetable producers who grow a crop such as "hothouse" tomatoes to maturity. In several cases in New York, TSWV has spread from ornamental plants (e.g., hanging flower baskets) to vegetable transplants (tomato and pepper seedlings) and even into tomato greenhouse units established for the vine-ripe tomato crop.
The above from the Cornell site on TSWV. Notice what has been said about TSWV in NYS. As I said above it isn't a problem up here in outside thrip acquired TSWV with the few cases being assicatied with ornamental and greenhouse transmission.
Here's the Cornell website:
I asked about well water b'c several times it's turned out that plants watered with well water look rusty from the rust found in some wells.
Thanks so much for the link to the Cornell website.
I read it over, but that doesn't look like what I have. There isn't really any "spotting"
just the dust and the leaves drying up and turning crispy. The vines themselves aren't
affected on the inside - they have the dust/rust looking stuff on them on the outside, but I pulled up one of the worst plants today and cut it open, and the stem on the inside was perfectly healthy.
I'm really beginning to think that something made the trip with these plants when they were shipped to me from California.
Looks like we're gonna have to pull 'em.....I'll start with the worst ones first, then trim the dead leaves from the bottoms of the others. Do you think the fruit is safe to eat? I have soooo many green tomatoes, I just can't pull all of them. Next year I'll try a fungicide and I'll plant in a different spot. This is very discouraging.
Did they say what it was? You said you'll try a fungicide next year, so I'm assuming they
told you it is a fungus? That's too bad that you'll have to pull them up.
I think the green tomatoes should be fine to eat. Fry them up:
or here's a chutney
recipe I like to make at the end of each growing season:
It's good with meats, cheeses, and on sandwiches.
Good luck with the rest of your plants!
Just a couple of quick general comments and suggestions directed to both posters.
If mites are the problem, you'll be able to find them somewhere on the plants after careful examination, especially on the undersides of the leaves. What I'm seeing in some of the pictures looks much like what I would expect to see from mite damage, which usually starts at the bottom of the plants, then progresses upward as the mites move up through the plants. Early signs of mite damage are dulling of the leaves (very easy to miss unless you are watching for it), then rasping (lighter colored spots) or russeting, depending on whether it is rust or spider mites. Even the early signs of rasping and russeting can be easy to miss. Frequently, folks don't notice a mite infestation until some of the bottom leaves have dried up and died, unless they've had problems with it in the past and know what to watch for early on.
Fungicides won't help with mites, nor would it help with TSWV - if that were the problem, and I don't think it is. See http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=5182319 for some good pics of TSWV.
For mites, spray twice a week with a soap spray, neem oil, or a pyrethin based product until good control is obtained (usually at least a couple of weeks), then once a week thereafter. It is particularly important to cover every surface of the plant when treating, especially the undersides of the leaves. Once a mite infestation is well underway, it will kill plants if left untreated. Sometimes, severely damaged plants aren't salvageable, but it usually doesn't hurt to try to save them unless there are plants that haven't yet been infested elsewhere in the garden.
Periodic sprays with seaweed emulsion can also be helpful, see http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=seaweed+mites&btnG=Google+Search
I think I have found it:
tomato russet mites :(
I think they hitched a ride to Brooklyn from sunny CA
I think your problem looks mite related - again, look for the mites on the undersides of the leaves to confirm it if you have not done so already. They can be hard to see. Sometimes a magnifying glass or hand lens can help. You probably won't find many on dead leaves, because they move up the plant once the damage is done below. Look on newer growth that's not yet crisped up.
OTOH, Lisa's situation could be a bit different. She might even have a combination of problems, both mites (which she's indicated she's seen) and perhaps even something viral. I say viral as a generality for now, but can't tell from the pictures which one it could be. I'm basing that on the stunted growth and shoestringing of leaves I *think* I see. It does not look like TSWV to me though, but a closeup picture in good focus would be helpful in terms maybe narrowing it down.
But maybe what I am seeing is just rolling leaves because the plants are stressed (which mites can definitely cause). Again, hard for me to tell from the pictures posted so far.
Thanks for the info - it is definitely mite related, and the more research I've done the
more convinced I am that it is tomato russet mites. All of the symptoms are there.
I've removed all the infected-looking foliage, and I sprayed the remaining healthy foliage with an
organic spray containing sulfur, which is what all the info I've seen says to do for these tomato russet
mites. Don't know if it will save the plants, but it is worth a try.
Thanks to everyone for all the help!
