"Capgemini" - there's your problem!
Just about enough said, but will add at least that Capgemini should be consigned to the same boat as Crapita and sunk somewhere over the laurentian abyss.
Computer glitches reduced Post Office branch services to a crawl on Monday. The Post Office network was knocked for six in two 30-minute periods, leading to long queues on one of the busiest posting days in the run-up to Christmas. The bugs coincided with problems accessing services on the Post Office website. The Post Office …
Just about enough said, but will add at least that Capgemini should be consigned to the same boat as Crapita and sunk somewhere over the laurentian abyss.
"unrelated to those that nobbled Royal Mail's website services last week."
When was the last time you tried accessing their website? Most of the stuff that isn't the front page has been down, throwing errors, or running like a drain since the 21st of November!
http://www.royalmail.com/price-finder etc. At least they're redirecting that to a 43 page booklet (called 'Mail Made Easy') so you can work it out for yourself
Yesterday it took me over half an hour to print some postage for an International address.
Twice I got all the way through creating some online postage labels, entered my credit card details only to be told there was an error. No labels, no order history, nothing. If there's a charge on my card then they're going to be hearing from the credit card company.
Don't confuse the Post Office and Royal Mail systems, totally different.
http://www.royalmail.com/customer-service/customer-news/website-technical-difficulties on the 15/12/11:
"I would like to apologise again to those customers experiencing technical difficulties with parts of our website. The Royal Mail, Parcelforce Worldwide and Post Office Ltd websites were unavailable for short periods on several occasions in the past 48 hours. In addition, when the websites were available, their performance has sometimes been slower than would normally be the case resulting in an unacceptable experience for some customers.
We continue to work closely with Capgemini, who manage the Royal Mail website on our behalf, to restore all services and performance to normal. I would like to again sincerely apologise to any customer who has experienced disruption at this key time of the year."
Also, see http://www.postoffice.co.uk/price-finder http://www.royalmail.com/price-finder and http://www.parcelforce.com/quick-quote/quick-quote
>Computer glitches reduced Post Office branch services to a crawl on Monday
That'll make a change then.
Mind you - I haven't had the misfortune to go into a Post Office for a couple of years now. Most things can be done online. I even got my passport renewed online although that was mostly filling out an eform so it could be printed out and emailed back to me :-/
I have a parcel I wish to send to my sister in Australia. Yesterday, I attempted to print the postage using the Royal Mail website. After an hour of timeouts and errors, it eventually announced that the system was down and I should come back later. This was after it took my money and failed to issue me any postage.
I went to the Post Office, and stood in a long queue. If I had succeeded in preprinted my postage online, I could have bypassed the queue and just placed the item in a chute for prepaid items. However, this had failed. After about ten minutes, I realised that the queue was barely moving. I gave up and went home, and send an e-mail complaint to the Royal Mail.
This morning, I received a reply apologising for the online problems, and stating that my money had been refunded. I logged in again, and exactly the same thing happened. I was charged for my postage but the system went down before the process was finished.
This is a debacle.
(Incidentally, if I look at the "history" section of my interactions, I am told that my online prepayment balance was transferred from an old system to a new system on 20th November. So clearly they migrated to a new platform that doesn't work five weeks before Christmas. Cretins.
I don't know how big this migration was. Enormous, I fear. Things are failing all over the place. I don't buy the "unrelated".
Hey all, I have an idea.... lets upgrade our website.... when?... I dunno, how about just before xmas?... what if it all goes wrong?.... lol....
Logging into our online business account we get faced with a screen which only offers assistance in case something is wrong! No place to order our postage! Even the online chat is out to lunch...
Well done Royal Mail, pat yourselves on the back.
At our local post office, our post mistress simply weighed the parcels and noted the cost, and completed the details once the systems come back on line. All efficient as usual. Another reason for christening a recent email server "anne" in her honour.
a good idea which sadly doesn't work.
enough said...
"... French technicians are being brought over to sort out the Post Office's problems." Thank FSM the contract wasn't with a firm in South Africa!!
This is absolutely insane ...

Sarah Palin is a Republican former vice presidential candidate and the former governor of Alaska. Currently she is a speaker, author, and news commentator on Fox News.
Born in 1964, Ms. Palin grew up in Alaska. She played basketball for her high school team, earning the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" for her competitiveness. She won the Miss Wasilla pageant, and she finished third in the Miss Alaska pageant. She received her bachelor's degree in communications from the University of Iowa in 1987.
Palin served on the Wasilla City Council before being elected mayor in 1996. She completed two terms. After a failed campaign for lieutenant governor, she was appointed to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
In 2006, Palin won the Alaska governorship. She supported and signed an ethics reform bill, and she used her veto power to make substantive budget cuts.
On Aug. 29, 2008, Sen. John McCain, the Republicans' choice for the presidential ticket, announced Sarah Palin would be his running mate. She drew huge crowds as she campaigned across the country. She was also famously portrayed by Tina Fey on "Saturday Night Live." On Nov. 4, Senator McCain and Palin lost the election to then-Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden. In July 2009, she shocked Alaskans and the political establishment by announcing she would resign as governor.
Since then, Palin has remained visible and influential. She formed a political action committee, SarahPAC, to raise money to support conservative candidates. She has a political show on Fox News and a Discovery Channel show called "Sarah Palin's Alaska."
On Feb. 6, 2010, when Fox News asked her if she would be running for president in 2012, she said, "I would be willing to if I believe that it's right for the country…. I won't close the door that perhaps could be open for me in the future."
Sarah Palin visited Israel in what may have been an attempt to up her foreign policy credentials and build a rapport with Israeli leaders increasingly at odds with Obama.
Republicans – and not so much Democrats – believe in competition among its members, said Sarah Palin Wednesday. But recent history provides a few examples of Democratic scuffling.
Sarah Palin is the front-runner for the GOP nomination in 2012, according to a new Quinnipiac survey. But the poll indicates she wouldn't win the general election.
Bristol Palin and her mom, Sarah Palin, have used their reality TV shows – 'Dancing With the Stars' and 'Sarah Palin's Alaska' – to underscore a secret to their appeal: the disarming smile.
Sarah Palin has declined to comment on the prosecutors' latest request that the college student who hacked Palin's e-mail account should get 18 months in prison. A judge will sentence the hacker today.
Sarah Palin announced Monday she was backing Republican businessman John Raese while Bill Clinton was in W. Virginia campaigning for Democratic Senate candidate Joe Manchin. Which endorsement carries more weight?
The Sarah Palin stamp of approval may not always be a help, especially when it comes to the general election. Her endorsement of California Senate candidate Carly Fiorina may turn out to be a case in point.
Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck held a September 11 rally amid speculation that there would be a 'big' announcement. There wasn't.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka charged that if Republican political star Sarah Palin is not more careful in her choice of words, the political movement she has helped to create will be linked with 1950s McCarthyism.
Sarah Palin will headline an annual GOP dinner in Iowa on Sept. 17, a move sure to feed media speculation about her plans for the 2012 presidential campaign. Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses are 18 months away.
Students and other critics want to know if Sarah Palin will be paid $100,000 or more for her CSU speech. Is the state university – part of California government – obliged to reveal the confidential contract?
Two top Democratic strategists who spoke at Wednesday's Monitor-sponsored breakfast for reporters said Sarah Palin is the GOP poster girl – and that is good for Democrats.
Caught in Sarah Palin's rifle sights, liberals warn of the threat of violent rhetoric. Will it marginalize passionate discourse, or will demonizing hot-headed conservatives backfire at the voting booth?
Sarah Palin now says 'taking up arms' means voting. Weaponry and military metaphors are part of political discourse, but not all conservatives are happy with Palin's gun rhetoric.
FOX News host Bill O'Reilly said Sarah Palin could be a good candidate for president before mocking Nancy Pelosi's IQ.
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will join Jay Leno on his second night back as the host of the Tonight Show.
Outspoken Sarah Palin critic Joy Behar sided with Sarah Palin on the ongoing Family Guy issue.
Is Sarah Palin so powerful that she can pummel Twitter?
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday was asked if she would move to Canada if Sarah Palin were elected president.
A new YouTube video imitates the Super Bowl Google ad with a look at the adventures of former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin.
GOP superstar Sarah Palin said in an interview Sunday that she was open to a presidential bid in 2012, and that President Obama wouldn't win if elections were held today.
Light, folksy, and full of jabs against President Obama and the Democrats in Washington, Sarah Palin's tea party speech in Nashville, Tenn., marked a possible milestone for her future presidential plans. But will the tea party movement help or hurt her plans in the long run?
Other speakers at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tenn., have pulled out, citing ethical questions about the for-profit event. But Sarah Palin says her $100,000 speaker's fee 'will go right back to the cause.'
Sarah Palin defended the Tim Tebow ad against abortion. Feminist groups objected to it, but attacking an ad that tells the story of a woman's decision not to have an abortion could backfire.
Sarah Palin announced Wednesday that she will campaign for Sen. John McCain, her former presidential running mate, as he bids for another term in the Senate. She'll also stump for conservative up-and-comer Rep. Michele Bachmann and Texas Gov. Rick Perry in early 2010.

A Q for the Dell laptop guys
I would like to know which of the current available laptops still has a serial port integrated into it.
The next laptop we have to buy in the company needs to have an integrated serial port (NOT a USB convertor).
The only Dell laptop with integrated serial port is the Latitude E5500. Also the old series D630/D830 has this, but these are pretty much discontinued.
But you can purchase the E-series legacy extender that connects through the docking port on E6400/E6500 or other laptops in the e-series.
Hi luckyme2,
I would like to confirm that shik is correct in his analysis.
We are an engineering company and we rely heavily on the RS232 Serial
Port on a daily basis to communicate with industrial instrument devices.
We have chosen Dell as our Laptop of choice for our Engineers
because of the following:
Full UART RS232 Serial Port on Mainboard, 1920 x 1200 screen resolution & Gold Technical Support
We have been using D800's, D810's, D820's and D830's and are looking to
upgrade the D830's next year.
We need a high screen resolution of 1920 x 1200 because of other applications.
Unfortunately, the USB to Serial Port adapters are not a good solution
for us. This is because the RS232 port on the USB adapters have a
limited implementation of the RS232 electrical interface standard. They
are good enough to use with simple RS232 devices but more often than not
we experience, timing issues especially with fast serial protocols and
when using virtual machines for legacy support. We have tried many USB
to serial converters and are of the opinion that a motherboard based
RS232 UART port is the only reliable solution that will work every time.
With regards to the port replicator, I have had experience in the past
with blue screens and the dell port replicators. There is also the obvious inconvenience of having to lug it around to sites.
Ideally we would like Dell to maintain the RS232 port on the High End
Latitudes going forward, this would ensure our commitment to the Dell
Which of the current available laptops still has a serial port integrated into it.
Hardware timing for the RS232 ports usually doesnt work with new machines due to poorly written
serial i/o routines.
ExpressCard 34 to Serial I/O (RS-232) DB9 1 Port Host Adapter ...
Synchrotech's high performance ExpressCard 34 toSerial I/O adds a fast serial COM port to mobile computers for attaching fax/modems, bar code scanners, court reporters, data acquisition equipment, mag stripe readers, GPS receivers, digital cameras or other RS-232 serial devices. The ExpressCard's low power requirement won't burden a laptop's batteries. The ExpressCard Serial Adapter supports serial transmission rate up to 230400bps.

Get Support on Twitter @DellCaresPro
Another one to try would be
StarTech.com 1 Port 16950 ExpressCard Serial Adapter Serial adapter - ExpressCard/34
128-byte deep FIFO data buffer Automated in-band flow control High Performance 16C950 UART with maximum data transfer rate up to 921.6 kbps Offers 1 DB9 RS-232 port to connect a serial device to a notebook PC
hi speedstep,
thanks for your advice. I will be sure to give the ExpressCard Serial Adapter solution a go.
Hopefully it will work on one particular legacy protocol we use which has tight timing issues.If it will work with this protocol, we then it will work with all other serial protocols we use.
I hope to have good results to post back.
My friend! Help me out to narrow down discontinued (used) model of dell for a full advantage of above mentioned UART RS232. For instance would be D620 be OK ?
Dell Vostro A860 comes with a serial Port ,
Here are the specifications of the Laptop
Did this solution work?
Did this adapter work? We have the same issue.
Hi empireman,
We did not try out the starcom card as recommended by speedstep above.
We did however try the Quatech SSPXP-100 Expresscard 34mm. The card has 1 x RS232 port and it has worked well for us. We would still however prefer a native RS232 port on the laptop motherboard.
You can find the datasheet for the Quatech SSPXP-100 expresscard card at http://www.quatech.com/catalog/expresscard_performance.php
We purchased it from B&B Electronics
If you happen to find a laptop with 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) resolution with an RS232 serial port onboard please let me know.
Dell Latitude e5510 is the best one with a serial port.
hi, thanks for the model number you provide, however, which is the latest model laptop habing the serial port? Any one out there can give me latest model

The 12-year-old Road Theatre Company maintains a reputation for mounting challenging plays in superbly crafted productions. The group is currently honored with the Garlands' Landmark Award, saluting its sustained history of excellence. In a 1995 agreement with the L.A. Cultural Affairs Department, the Road subcontracted a variety of arts events at North Hollywood's Lankershim Arts Center in exchange for ongoing residency in the facility and other financial assistance.
Artistic director Taylor Gilbert expressed excitement and confidence about the group's current growth challenges. "We want to elevate from our current 99-Seat Plan to a full Equity theatre," she said. "In moving toward this goal, we're expanding our seasons to include shows both within and outside our facility. We're negotiating collaborative deals with other theatres." The group is currently laying out plans for two full seasons, beginning in June with The Seventh Monarch, a dark psychological drama by Jim Henry, who penned its heralded 1999 offering The Angels of Lemnos.
The Road has garnered enthusiastic recognition from local awards groups, including the L.A. Drama Critics Circle, the Ovations, L.A. Weekly, and the Garlands. The company is currently basking in the glow of rave reviews for its fall 2002 production of Eduardo deFilippo's stirring Italian drama, Napoli Milionaria, and the still-running atmospheric thriller The Woman in Black, with masterful performances from Joe Hart and Paul Witten. Napoli scored strongly at November's Ovations, winning six.
The Road selects plays based on projects suggested by its members. When a member's passion for a work is shared by the group, it is green-lighted. In the case of Napoli, the gifted, award-winning actor Suanne Spoke had been determined to produce and perform in this lovely play for many years. As a new member, she brought the project to the table, and other members quickly expressed their endorsement. The Woman in Black is a pet project of extraordinarily talented director Ken Sawyer.
Taylor said the Road recently renewed its agreement with the Cultural Affairs Department through 2005. Meanwhile, as expand their horizons by increasing the membership and stepping up the production pace, Gilbert and company have their work cut out for them. In the past, they've consistently chosen their paths astutely, and our fervent hope is that at their current fork in the Road, the route they're taking leads to long-lasting success.

Amidst the picturesque setting of Heinz Field, home to both the Pittsburgh Panthers and the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers, Utah improved to 3-3 overall on the season with 26-14 victory over the Big East's Pitt. The Utes scratched out the much-needed win, albeit with yet another ugly performance and this time in new and different ways than usual.
Saturday's culprit was special teams, which gave up all 14 of Pittsburgh's points, meaning Kalani Sitake's defense pitched a shut out, once again carrying the team.
Pittsburgh running back Ray Graham came into the contest with 899 rushing yards gained on the season, a statistic that led the country. That number also equates to 149.83 yards per game, making Graham the second-leading rusher in the nation in that category prior to the third meeting between the two schools.

In fact, Pitt did not accumulate Graham's average rushing yards per game in total offense through the course of the game. The Panthers managed 70 yards on the ground, and just 50 passing yards for a total of 120. 47 of those yards belonged to Graham on just 12 carries, as the Utes held him in check to the tune of 103 yards less than his average, and 21 yards came on one play, which would represent his game-long.
"Our defensive front seven were getting after it pretty good. We've got some big guys; Star [Lotulelei], James [Aiono] and the Kruger boys. We've got some physicality in the front seven, plus we loaded up the box and basically dared them to throw the ball," Whittingham said. "Our rush defense has been very good all season long, except for one half. We had one poor half of rush defense, and otherwise we're playing the run very well."
In a dominating defensive performance, Utah had six sacks for a loss of 39 yards, eight tackles for a loss of 44 yards. The Ute defense held Graham and the Pitt offense completely in check, as the Panthers never got into the red-zone for the entirety of the game. Beyond the first quarter, in which special teams did the scoring, Pitt was shut out and the offense did not account for a single Pitt point.
"That's what we have to do, you know. The last couple of weeks, we've kind of been coming out low after a turnover and things like that," said defensive end Derrick Shelby. This week, we kind of wanted to show that that fight all the way through, no matter what happened."
The Utes couldn't have anticipated completely shutting Graham down, but they planned to curb his effectiveness and minimize his impact with a specific and concerted effort to do just that.
"We had a game plan, and we believed in it," explained Shelby. "Obviously we knew we had to tackle that guy, and it looks like we did that."
That game plan was revealed, and commended post-game by head coach Kyle Whittingham.
"It was gang tackling. We swung to the ball, we had a plus one in the box all the time. We had an extra hat in the box they couldn't account for," revealed Whittingham of his defense's plan to stop Graham and the run. "Congratulations to the players. Our players did a great job. And Coach Sitake and the defensive staff had a great plan going in."
Fittingly, it was Shelby who gave post-game comments after an impressive, individual performance. Shelby led the Utes in tackling with seven, but also recorded 1.5 sacks for a loss of nine yards and 2.5 tackles for a loss of 13. Additionally, he had two key pass breakups, and of course, a freak athlete play wherein he read a Pitt screen all the way, adjusted his body in midair to snag the ball out of the air for an interception that he would return for the touchdown that would ultimately ice the game, putting the Utes up 26-14.
In additon to the tackles for loss and sacks, the Utah defense forced two fumbles and two interceptions to complete a dazzling defensive performance, which as badly needed as the Ute offense continues to sputter, despite the best efforts of running back John White, who rushed for 171 yards on 36 carries with a long of 37 yards.
White's efforts, according to Coach Whittingham were a key contributing factor to the Utes' win.
"The bottom line is [White] did a great job. He had a hundred and seventy yards," said Whittingham. "And that's another guy, that was the bright spot of the offense, was John White."
Offensively, the first half was ugly and fragmented for both teams, as neither Utah nor Pitt from was able to establish any real rhythm. Still, Utah still managed two red zone opportunities which resulted in points, with two Coleman Petersen field goal conversions from 23 and 34, respectively in the first half.
The points were a silver lining to a troubling and trending development with Utah's offense, wherein the Utes are consistently leaving badly needed points on the board. the board as Utah's Jon Hays and the Ute offense could not convert the opportunities into touchdowns.
"We also didn't do a good enough job in the red zone" Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham summarized. "We had to settle for field goals far too often. So there's work to do, but bottom line is, we got a win. It was good to get back in the win column after a frustrating couple of weeks."
In a contest where points were at a premium, the special teams errors looked to foretell another regretful loss that should have been a win, Utah's defense, along with place kicker Coleman Petersen held strong, pulling out a 26-14 victory on a blustery, fall day in the midst of Big East country, where the Utes remain un-defeated in school history versus current members of said conference.
The Utes packaged and gift-wrapped 14 points for the Panthers in the form of special teams mishaps. The first, a 98 yard kickoff return by Pittsburgh's Buddy Jackson after the Utes' first field goal, giving Utah an early 7-3 deficit.
On the next offensive possession, Utah went three and out, moving backwards on a Jon Hays sack for good for a nine yard loss, producing a 4th and 18 punting situation. Disaster struck, as the punt was blocked for a 10 yard return for a touchdown by Pitt's Antwaun Reed.
14-3, Pitt, with a rocking crowd and all the momentum in the world. All of which occurred in a total of 5:32 seconds of offensive production and 31 total yards in by Pitt and found the Utes bewilderingly on the wrong side of the scoreboard despite all efforts.
Against a more formidable opponent, it could have been the ball game given the way that the Ute offense stalled as Pitt buckled down on the run, effectively shutting down John White who had been the workhorse for the Ute offense, for a stretch late in the first quarter and deep into the second quarter.
What the Ute offense did do, however, was chew up the clock for most of the second quarter, embarking on a 7:12 drive consisting of 14 plays and 68 yards, that would result in a Coleman Petersen field goal at the 3:19 mark in the second quarter. Three Pitt offensive snaps and two Utah sacks later, the Panthers would shank a punt for 27 yards, giving the Utes the ball back on the Pitt 33 yard line with 2:19 remaining in the half.
A gift in the form of a tipped pass into the outstretched arms of streaking Luke Matthews would result in the first Ute touchdown of the game, and 33 yard reception was the first touchdown of the season for Matthews. Matthews finished the game with two catches for 39 yards. The leading receiver for Utah was redshirt freshman Dres Anderson who caught four passes for 43 yards.
With some momentum going into halftime and the prospect of opening the second half with the ball as the result of the Utes' decision to defer to open the contest, the ship had seemingly been righted and the sense was that the swell of momentum was decidedly in Utah's favor.
The Utes marched the ball 49 yards on the opening drive of the second half, but again, could not convert the touchdown, instead settling for yet another Coleman Petersen field goal, this time from 39 yards as the Utes took the lead 16-14.
The field goal would represent the only points of the quarter for either team, as a combined five punts would follow the opening half drive.
The fourth quarter would go in much the same way until the 7:45 mark in the fourth when Petersen would hit his fourth field goal of the day, a 45-yarder that would put the Utes up by just five, and left the game still very much in doubt.
While true in all four attempts, the season has been a rocky one for Petersen, whom Kyle Whittingham would praise and partially credit with the win in post-game comments.
"Credit goes two places. Defense, outstanding effort. Shutout. The two touchdowns we gave up were special teams errors," Whittingham announced to kick off his post-game remarks. "And Coleman Petersen, the field goal kicker. He had an outstanding afternoon, so that's really where the credit goes."
Going into the game, Petersen indicated that he anticipated being called upon more often than in past weeks, having not attempted a field goal in over two games.
"They told me a lot that it was going to be really windy and rainy, might be a little sloppy, so it may be a little bit harder to get yards, so they definitely said it was going to be a big week for me," Coleman revealed. "This week they gave me the chance, and I definitely had a really good week in field goals, so they had a lot of confidence in me."
Apparently, the windy conditions didn't phase Petersen at all, as the 45 yard conversion represents his career collegiate long, but revealed that dating back to high school, had hit from 52 and 57 yards.
While the win got the proverbial monkey off the Utes' back, one can't help but wonder if the feeling of euphoria is temporary. The defense, once again played an impressive game, and simply was not put into bad situations by offensive turnovers and being on the field too long. At least, fans got a glimpse of what this Utah defense looks like, and can do when it doesn't have its back to the wall throughout the course of an entire game. The emergence of Petersen is also settling in, and gives some confidence; in that regard two positives came from the game.
Offensively, however, concerns still loom large over Norm Chow's unit, who despite glimmering performances by John White still fail to produce points.
That fact becomes all the more frustrating after sustained drives and demonstrating an ability to move the ball, only to come away with field goals, or punts, sometimes in their own territory. In short, the Ute offense, both under Wynn when healthy, and Hays simply does not have the necessary killer instinct.
We've got a lot of work to do on offense, that's very evident. That was disappointing in that respect," explained Whittingham. "We had a couple of chances to put the game away, and had some great field position opportunities we didn't take advantage of."
While the Ute offense did not turn the ball over for the first time since September 17 versus BYU, and Utah came away with the win, there are still serious problems that urgently need to be resolved. Another road trip to Cal in a conference battle in Berkeley on October 22 gives the Utes another good opportunity to do just that.

Ibanez Prestige Series
The Ibanez Prestige series combines precision, performance and playability to create a range of powerful and versatile electric guitars. Mixing high-tech manufacturing with old-world Japanese craftsmanship, the Prestige series is innovative in design and construction. The range is known for high performing fast necks, iconic pickup pairing and advanced electronics and hardware.
Edge Zero Locking Tremolo
The Ibanez Edge-Zero Tremolo is a high performance double locking tremolo that answers the problems many people have with floating tremolos, keeping the bridge level whilst adjusting tunings. With the innovative Zero Point system the Edge-Zero retains its neutral and balanced position regardless of the tension adjustments allowing quicker tuning and a hassle free set-up.
Zero Point Spring SystemThe ZPS3 is the next stage of zero point systems with the addition of two outer springs made of lightweight Duralumin to make the guitar easier to tune and provide much greater tuning stability whilst even the other strings will stay in tune if you break a string. If you prefer a full floating tremolo setup, simply and easily remove the stop bar from the back panel of the guitar for a more traditional set up.
Wizard HP Neck Profile
The use of Ibanez's own Wizard HP (High Performance) neck allows for the Prestige RG2550Z to be extremely playable and optimized for lead guitarists as the thin nature of the neck helps to perform swift and nimble guitar runs seamlessly whilst retaining enough substance to ensure a thick and full resonance when playing rhythm patterns and chords.
Barless Top-Lok Nut
The Barless Top-Lok Nut is yet another innovative feature from Ibanez which eliminates the need for a retainer bar to maintain string tension. Through its simple design and careful injection moulding production process it holds the strings at the correct angle whilst remaining smooth and ergonomic.

Rafael Benitez insists Chelsea can still claim second place in the Premier League ahead of a trip to Southampton on Saturday that marks the start of a testing run of fixtures for the Blues; Southampton, United Kingdom
Benitez's third placed side will attempt to increase the pressure on Manchester City, who sit five points ahead in second spot, with victory over the relegation-threatened Saints at St Mary's.
That marks the first of six games in a 16-day period for Chelsea, with the FA Cup sixth round replay against Manchester United next up just 48 hours later.
The programme will test Benitez's squad to the limit but the Spaniard said: "It is better to have this problem than be at home watching it on the television.
"It is better to have this schedule because it means you are still competing.
"With a top side, the last month in the season is when you fight for trophies. We are still there and it is a positive.
"At this stage of the competition, you have to win games and then you can win trophies. It has to be now, in this period."
Chelsea moved one point ahead of Tottenham in the last round of fixtures before the international break, with Arsenal another four points adrift in fifth place.
The battle for a Champions League place is set to intensify in the coming weeks but while Benitez recognises the threat of the two north London clubs, he maintains his focus is fixed on City.
"I would like to see if we can reduce the gap or think like this, but I'm sure they will be concerned like we are concerned about Tottenham, Arsenal and Everton," Benitez said.
"In recent weeks we have been training very well and we were competing really well and the team was playing very good football.
"So if you can keep all these things and this momentum, I will not be worried about the other teams. I will be just watching Manchester City."
Chelsea's England defender Gary Cahill is struggling with the knee injury that forced him to withdraw from international duty, while Brazil midfielder Ramires has a groin problem.
Chelsea will face a Southampton side lifted by victory over Liverpool last time out, only their second victory since Mauricio Pochettino replaced Nigel Adkins as manager.
The other win came against Manchester City but Pochettino denies his side have been guilty of failing to match those standards against their relegation rivals.
"If you look at the victories we got against Manchester City and Liverpool it might look like we raise our game against those games," he said.
"But I don't think that is the case because we played well against Wigan and Norwich, but perhaps weren't lucky enough to get the three points in those games.
"We had a very good result against Liverpool and when you get a result like that you want to carry on playing games trying to get more results like that."
Southampton lost successive games after beating City, and midfielder Jack Cork admits the four-point cushion to the relegation places could begin to look less secure if they suffer a similar slip this time.
"We had such a good result against Manchester City and then QPR came here and we lost. That's keeping us on our toes," Cork said.
"We're in a great situation at the minute, but we need to make sure we don't think anything is done just yet.
"We have to make sure we try to win as many games as we can."

The Burleson Police Department says the investigation into reports of an unknown man approaching a third-grader is closed.
The city said in an email to the media Friday that a man came forward and told police he saw signs up in the neighborhood about a lost dog and when he saw the child, followed by her mother, he stopped to ask if she had lost a dog.
The mother of a student from Bansom Elementary reported to police that the man asked the girl initially if she had lost a puppy. The child said no, the mother says the man drove off as she walked up to his car.
The Burleson Independent School District sent a letter home with students about the incident on Jan. 16.
Burleson now says the case is closed and police say it was just a misunderstanding.

Youths hurled rocks and oranges at a government building in central Athens Monday during a student protest to mark two years since the fatal police shooting of a teenage boy that sparked Greece's worst riots in decades.
Police closed roads and deployed several thousand officers around the city, but maintained a minimal presence at the site where some 1,500 students gathered outside Athens University's main buildings.
Protesting youths pelted police and a Finance Ministry building with rocks and oranges and smashed glass phone booths, but the violence only lasted a few minutes.
Several rallies are planned Monday to mark the death of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos, shot by a policeman in the Exarchia district of the capital.
The civil servants' union was marking the event with a three-hour work stoppage in Athens, while demonstrations were also being held in the northern city of Thessaloniki. The marches in Athens were to culminate in a vigil Monday night at the site where the teenager was killed.
Limited violence broke out during the first anniversary of Grigoropoulos' death, with youths clashing with riot police in Athens.
Grigoropoulos' killing on Dec. 6, 2008, sparked the worst civil unrest Greece had seen in decades, with youths rampaging through cities almost nightly for two weeks, torching cars and buildings, smashing windows, looting stores and clashing with riot police.
In October, policeman Epaminondas Korkoneas was convicted of murder for the teenager's death, and was sentenced to life imprisonment. A second policeman, Vassilis Saraliotis, was convicted of complicity and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Korkoneas had argued that Grigoropoulos was killed inadvertently by a ricochet when the policeman fired a warning shot following an earlier altercation with youths in the area.

It's Monday, which means it's time for the New and the News. This week, we've got three new wide releases hitting theaters and a slew of interesting news about the world of film. Come on inside and check it all out!
2012 (Sony) – 3,000 theaters – Reviews
Roland Emmerich is one of those high-profile Hollywood directors that only produces big budget popcorn flicks like Independence Day, Godzilla, The Patriot, The Day After Tomorrow, and most recently, 10,000 BC. With the release of 2012, Emmerich is probably hoping to erase any memories of the universally disliked 10,000 BC by hopping 12,012 years into the future. I'm sure there is a story somewhere inside 2012, but basically, it is an epic disaster movie that will showcase a global cataclysm in the year that the Mayans famously predicted would be the end of the world. A Summer-style action film in the middle of Winter, 2012 looks like an expensive, exciting thrill ride, and it should do very well at the box office.
Fantastic Mr. Fox (Fox) – Wide Release? – Reviews
As if Roald Dahl was not strange enough, his book is getting the big screen treatment from cinema's resident oddball, Wes Anderson. Fantastic Mr. Fox looks like a visual treat, as its animation style looks like nothing I've ever seen before. It is some sort of mixture of stop motion and traditional animation, and it looks pretty interesting. That being said, I do not think that this animation will help it out very much. I think it will be visually exhausting to watch this unconventional visual style for almost two hours, for it seems more fit for a YouTube video, and I will be surprised if this is actually a hit. This is a movie that appears to have been made much more for Anderson-loving critics than the public. On another note, I'm not sure what to believe about Fox's release. Yahoo! Movies states that it will be getting a wide release on Friday, though Box Office Mojo's theater counts only have it being released into 4 theaters. I think it actually will get a wide release, but I can't be sure.
Pirate Radio (Focus) – 900 theaters – Reviews
This story follows a group of 8 rogue British DJs who defied authority in the name of rock 'n roll music in the 1960s. Broadcasting from a boat in the North Atlantic, this "pirate radio" station had to avoid the British government to play the music they loved. I'm not much into these movies about drugs, rock music, and liberation, and I'm not sure I can buy the studio's provided synopsis that "the songs that they played united and defined an entire generation." That seems like a bit much. Anyway, this is probably a little too off-beat to be a huge hit, but the ads have been strong and interesting, and it should be able to carve out a small slice of box office pie for itself in the coming weeks.
James Cameron's long-in-the-works, psychotically expensive science-fiction epic, Avatar, has been surrounded by huge buzz for years. Reports of groundbreaking technology, incredible 3D sequences, and an incredible story had people very excited. Thus, when a lackluster trailer debuted a few months ago, people were more than a little disappointed. Thankfully, a new trailer has been cut for the film, and it's is so much better. It gives a strong sense of the story, and it features some pretty dazzling special effects. It's hard to not be excited. Watch the new-and-improved trailer below.
Hugh Jackman declined the offer to return as host of the Oscars this year, but the LA Times was quick to report that the Academy had contracted Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin to co-host the Oscars this year. In an era of dwindling ratings for the Oscar telecast, you would think that the Academy might want to try to appeal to a younger crowd, but who knows how these decisions are made… The early reaction has been more than a little mixed, and many people are downright unhappy with the decision. As a hater of the Oscars, that makes me very happy!
If 2012 succeeds in theaters this weekend, it is appearing increasingly likely that we'll see an ABC spinoff on screens this Fall. Director Roland Emmerich told EW, "The plan is that it is 2013 and it's about what happens after the disaster…" Producer Mark Gordon claims that ABC "will have an opening in their disaster-related programming after LOST ends." Interesting for sure, but I've never seen this type of movie-into-a-TV-show stunt work. Anyone remember My Big Fat Greek Life?
Tom Cruise, Sam Worthington, and Charlize Thereon are out, and THR writes that Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, and Alfonso Cuaron are in. Suddenly, The Tourist, a remake of a 2005 French thriller, has gone from white bread to dark and edgy. This could be a magical combination that makes for a very cool movie.

The Gulf Coast Nationals have already clinched a postseason berth with their incredible record and domination of their division and league this season.
Clinched! 37-6 #poppinbottles #of #applecider http://t.co/n7a6cpw2Ca— Lucas Giolito (@LGio27) August 9, 2013
The camaraderie displayed has been a key component of their success, to go with a very talented corps of prospects that will help fortify the Nationals organization for years to come.
The Nationals' top pitching prospect, right-hander Lucas Giolito, said the squad has bonded from the first day of workouts and has never looked back.
"We have really jelled together," Giolito said. "We are all friends with each other, off the field, on the field. I never knew that a professional team could get this close personally and be such great friends.
"Go golfing together, go to dinner, lunch, whatever and then on the field play so well together. It is really astounding, but it is such an awesome thing to be a part of."
Giolito said the GCL Nats have focused on the task at hand by acting like professionals on and off the field, and sticking to a motto that keeps them on task.
"We have the Nats shirt with the logo on the front and on the back it says 'No panic,.' " Giolito said. "That has kind of been our logo for everything. As far as in any game situation no matter what whether it is two outs and nobody on, big bunt situation or bases loaded, bottom of the ninth inning.
"Take the game one pitch at a time, and one moment at a time, and not panic in any situation, just play the game the right way. Obviously we have been doing that."
The GCL Nationals are 42-8 (.840) in first place in the East Division. They have a 21-game lead over the GCL Cardinals and GCL Marlins.
Update: According to MiLB.com transactions, Giolito was promoted to short-season Auburn today.
* Left-hander Brett Mooneyham went seven innings and allowed three hits for the win in low Single-A Hagerstown's 4-0 shutout of the Asheville Tourists on Saturday. Hagerstown has won seven in a row. Sunday's game was rained out.
Mooneyham struck out a season-high nine hitters and walked none. He has won six games in a row. The former Stanford Cardinal has a 1.94 ERA in 93 innings over 17 starts. He has 79 strikeouts to 41 walks and has not lost since July 17.
Nats have a good amount of starting pitching in the system, it has always been a major strength of the franchise. But Mooneyham is tracking toward high Single-A Potomac soon and could receive an invitation to the Arizona Fall League.
* Triple-A Syracuse outfielder Jeff Kobernus has been named the International League Batter of the week.
According to the Chiefs release, "Over the past seven days, Kobernus hit .375 and led the International League with 12 hits and six stolen bases. Kobernus hit safely in his first seven games this week, including a 4-4 effort Thursday night in which he delivered the game-winning RBI to beat Lehigh Valley 2-1. He also had his eighth multi-steal game of 2013 on Monday. Kobernus is now 2nd in the IL with a .323 batting average this season and is tied for 2nd in the League with 39 stolen bases. He's also hit in 14 consecutive games - three shy of a season high for any Chiefs player, behind Rahl's 17-game hit streak."

Last Sunday the weather was gray and high fog covered the sky. At noon it cleared up and we decided to go on the nearby Belpberg mountain. When driving up the hill we came again into thick fog and first thought it was a bad idea to go up. But then we pierced through the clouds and there was an incredible golden autumn light with a brilliant view of the Alps.
Coming out of the fog reminded me of coming out of the fog of dreamy-drowsy thoughts in meditation, when you are a bit sleepy. It sometimes happens that suddenly the inner sky clears up and consciousness, which is always there like the blue sky, becomes vast and radiant of light. Enjoy the photos.
Magical light through the fog
Mystical stones between the trees
Piercing sun rays
Autum sun reflections
Walking up the hill
The view opens up
No question where to go – the path is clear…
The Bernese Alps with view over to Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau
On the ridge
Two helicopters arrived
Dreaming of jumping through the air
The sea of fog in the valley, and above – resplendent light
The sun reflecting in the sea of fog
A farmhouse just coming out of the fog
Little village on the mountain
Walking into the Light

If you've been waiting around to buy a new car, better hurry up. If Obama gets his way, the only car you will be able to buy will be a small hybrid cube and will cost more than you can afford.
If you've been waiting around to buy a new car, better hurry up. If Obama gets his way, the only car you will be able to buy will be a small hybrid cube and will cost more than you can afford.
The Obama administration has finalized new fuel economy rules that will require the fleet-wide average of new cars and trucks sold in the U.S. to double over the next 13 years. The average fuel economy must reach 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, up from 28.6 mpg at the end of last year.
The Center for Automotive Research estimated that an earlier lower mileage increase would increase the cost of a car by $11,000. A 54.5 mpg increase could bring costs up to $15,000 extra per vehicle.
That might not be such a big deal for Obama, but for millions of American workers and small business owners who depend on their car to get to work and to earn a living, this will mean the difference between being able to feed their families and not being able to feed their families.
The National Automobile Dealers Association Chairman Bill Underriner warned, "This increase shuts almost 7 million people out of the new car market entirely and prevents many millions more from being able to afford new vehicles that meet their needs."
The NADA Chairman further warned that the increase would actually force people to continue driving old cars which would lower car sales and keep mileage standards law. The only way to fix that will be with another Cash for Clunkers program.
President Barack Obama said the new fuel standards "represent the single most important step" his administration has taken to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
Actually Obama's war on domestic drilling has dramatically increased American dependence on foreign oil. And now an administration that boasts of having saved the American automobile industry, appears determined to make its products inaccessible to Americans.
Herbert Hoover promised Americans, "A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage." For now you can still get the chicken, but I wouldn't count on being able to get the car.

wikiHow to Drink Beer out of a Duct Tape Cup
Two Methods:Making the CupAdding the BeerCommunity Q&A
The party's in full swing and more guests arrive. The glasses are in short supply and there's nothing left to serve the beer in! Here's a quick and easy fix to this fuss. Grab some duct tape and start making beer cups with ease!
Making the Cup
1Find a suitable glass or a cup. This will be used as a mold for the duct tape cup.
- Measure for the cup. Take the glass' circumference but just aim for making the height half of the glass' actual size (or a little shorter than it actually is). This will give the shape of the cup but not the same large size.
2Prepare the duct tape fabric. The duct tape fabric should be folded in half and stuck together. Otherwise, the sticky side will catch to the glass mold (and you don't want a sticky inner to drink out of). You'll need to fold enough lengths to go all the way down the length of the glass (probably at least two lengths); each length will be joined by a small strip of duct tape to hold it together.
3Wrap the duct tape fabric around the glass. Wrap at the midway or other lower point that you've selected for the height of the glass.
4Stick on a short strip of duct tape to join the edges where they meet. Continue to use this method for each length wrapped around the glass.
5Continue wrapping. Wrap the duct tape fabric lengths around the glass until the tape reaches the base of the glass. The cup is best if the layers slightly overlap, to create less opportunity for leakage. At the base, stick the duct tape in a cross-like formation until all of the base is securely covered.
- Once it is all done, wrap a piece or two around to secure all the layers neatly.
6Pull out the glass. You have a duct tape cup!

TBS ratings soar for start of playoffs
TBS ratings soar for start of playoffs
The playoff-opening tripleheader featured two National League games and one American League game, starting with the Rockies at the Phillies, running through an early-evening Angels-Red Sox tilt and culminating with the Cubs and Diamondbacks at the end of the evening.
Those three games averaged 4.54 million viewers and a 3.6 HH rating, according to live plus same-day data from Nielsen Media Research. That was a tick up from the 2006 opening tripleheader on two networks, which averaged 4.48 million viewers. Making the numbers particularly striking was that baseball's best-known team, the Yankees, didn't open their postseason until Thursday.
And when New York did debut on Thursday, the ratings kept right on pouring in. The Day 2 tripleheader on TBS racked up another big day of numbers, averaging 4.6 million viewers over three games -- Game 2 of each National League series, plus the opener between the Yanks and Indians. Colorado and Philadelphia drew 3.3 million viewers, the Chicago-Arizona game drew 3.7 million, and the Yankees and Indians contest was played before 6.7 million television viewers.
Within TBS' coverage area, the Yanks-Indians game received a 5.3 HH rating, and nationally, the number was 4.5. The total viewer count topped any Division Series game that appeared on ESPN in 2006 and was the highest number of viewers for any program on TBS since June 2002.
The average of 4.6 million viewers on Day 2 is a 76 percent increase over the number of viewers of the second day of the 2006 postseason. The overall average of 4.6 million over two days counts as a 23 percent increase over the average from the first two days in 2006.
The Rockies-Phillies opener, featuring two potent offenses and two teams that had waited more than a decade since last playing in the postseason, delivered a 2.6 HH rating and 3.17 million viewers -- topping last year's ESPN playoff opener by a whopping 78 percent.
When the Red Sox and Angels, two recent World Series champions, took to the diamond in early prime time, the numbers spiked to a 4.3 HH rating and 5.46 million viewers -- 115 percent above the second game in 2006. The game was the most-watched telecast anywhere on ad-supported cable television on Wednesday.
The night wrapped up with the always-popular Cubs and the emerging stars of the Diamondbacks, a game that drew a 4.0 HH rating and an audience of 5.13 million viewers.
For the time period of 8-11 p.m. ET on Wednesday, the prime of prime time, TBS averaged a 4.1 HH rating and 5.19 million viewers, putting it atop all of cable television for that coveted time period. A similar result occurred on Thursday, with TBS finishing 82 percent ahead of the second-most-watched cable network.
On Thursday, the three Division Series games ranked as three of the five most-watched programs on cable for the day -- the Yankees-Indians game came in at No. 1, the Cubs-Diamondbacks game third and the Rockies-Phillies game fifth.
The TBS coverage has been enhanced by the TBS Hot Corner on MLB.com, highlighted by a daily pregame show and the Chevy Around the Park Live Mosaic, a split-screen feature that allows a viewer to watch the game, track pitch locations and movement, watch an in-game studio show and keep an eye on the benches, all at the same time if he or she wishes.
All three games on Wednesday were tight and entertaining, pitching-dominated affairs, from the 4-2 Rockies win at cozy Citizens Bank Park to Boston's 4-0 triumph at Fenway Park, through the 3-1 duel of aces Brandon Webb and Carlos Zambrano under the lights in Phoenix.
Beyond the overall numbers, TBS and MLB were pleased with some of the specific demographic results. The telecasts showed increases over 2006 in numerous valued demographics -- including 48 percent among men 18 to 34, 44 percent among adults ages 18 to 34, 25 percent among men 18 to 49 and 30 percent among adults from 18 to 49.

Intracerebral hematoma following lumboperitoneal shunt insertion: a rare case report.
Turk Neurosurg. 2011 Jan;21(1):94-6
Authors: Turkoglu E, Kazanci B, Karavelioglu E, Sanli M, Kazanci B, Sekerci Z
Lumboperitoneal shunting is widely used for the surgical management of pseudotumor cerebri and other pathologies such as communicating hydrocephalus. Although it is a safe method, it could be associated with complications including subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural and rarely intracerebral hematoma. A 44-year-old female applied to our clinic with complaints of severe headache, retroorbital pain and blurred vision. Lumbar puncture demonstrated cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure of cmH2O. A non-programmable lumboperitoneal shunt with two distal slit valves was inserted due to pseudotumor cerebri. She deteriorated shortly after surgery. Immediate cranial computed tomography scan revealed a right parietal intracerebral hematoma. Development of intracerebral hematoma following lumboperitoneal shunt is a rare complication. We discuss this rare event accompanied by the literature.

4 Tips to Get a Seat at the Table
Viewing on Levo:
Only you can see this list
As Sheryl Sandberg encourages us to own our life and career choices and decisions, getting a seat at the decision making table becomes a manifestation of leaning in. The seat at the proverbial table can easily translate to your job today, a seat and a voice at the conference room table during your team meeting, a seat and a voice during your volunteer or professional association meeting, a directorship role at a Board of Directors in the near future, or even a seat at the Oval Office desk in this lifetime. To lean in and lead by example, we need to deploy our expertise and experience and articulate our message across disciplines, geographies, and issues to make sound and well rounded decisions with local, regional, and even global impact.
But how do you get a seat at the table?
Apart from directorship and governance guidelines, and as the old adage of, "How does one get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice," a seat at the decision making table requires preparation, expertise, guts and conviction.
1. Read up
You need to do your homework and you need to know your stuff. Read, read, read. Read about your discipline and the trends in your job. Read about the key issues challenging your discipline and compile your own opinion about it. Read about how other countries, organizations, and people are addressing similar issues. Read about art, culture, and current affairs.
Reading broadens your perspective and enables you to then synthesize your own opinion and where you stand on an issue. Pick a few general current affairs publications and a couple of publications from your discipline and read religiously. I like the Economist and the New York Times for the broader perspective. I read the Harvard Business Review Blog and Inc.com for management and innovation ideas and trends. There are tens of excellent and many free online resources out there!
2. Look up
The more you know about the issue at hand and where you stand, the more confident you will be. Look up means literally and figuratively look up from your laptop, tablet, phone and facing your yourself, your colleagues, your team members, and the world. You can start by looking up in the mirror and facing yourself every morning. Looking up, opens you up to the world and your ability to take it in, see the world around you, figure out what you like, and work to change what you don't like.
3. Stand up
Having a seat at the table actually means you will be standing up a lot, both figuratively and literally. How? You need to stand up for issues that are important to the greater good. You need to stand up for people who need help, guidance, and support. You need to stand up for team leaders, community leaders, and government leaders that need followers to get the job done. If you agree with their premise, stand up and support them. As a leader yourself, you need to stand up and deliver. If you read up on the issues, look up to see how are they handled, and by whom, it will become easier for you to stand up.
4. Speak up
Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Your seat at the table means that you must speak up for the things and people that matter. Speak up to support what you agree with or voice your opinion and alternative solution to what you disagree with. If speaking in public is intimidating, fear not: strengthen your speaking skills by joining a Toastmasters Club near you. It is a not-for-profit specializing in communication and leadership development. Speaking implies communicating so you also need to practice your listening skills, as you get ready to speak up. If you read up, look up, and stand up, speaking up will be a breeze.
How do you plan to speak up at work?

Craig A. Roberts, 573-882-0481
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Killing old stands of tall fescue pastures takes an all-out assault. Kentucky 31, the toxic tall fescue, doesn't die easy.
The K-31 has a good feature. It's hardy. That lets it withstand hazards from pests to droughts to overgrazing.
Herd owners like that. However, K-31's strength comes from a toxin that causes losses in grazing herds.
Craig Roberts, University of Missouri Extension forage specialist, has led efforts to renovate pastures for years.
Financial rewards drive planting new novel-endophyte fescues. Toxic fescue costs Missouri cow herd owners an estimated $190 million a year. Toxins cause lost gains, low conceptions, poor milk and lost cattle.
It took a long time to solve the problem, which comes from a fungus, or endophyte, that grows between plant cells in the grass, Roberts says. The fungus earns its keep protecting the host. Ergovaline, the toxin, helps the plant survive.
Getting rid of the toxin means replacing the toxic variety with an endophyte that is nontoxic.
Total eradication is needed before planting new novel-endophyte varieties.
But toxic fescue doesn't die with one spraying of herbicide. Eradication must kill standing grass, surviving tillers and seed left in the soil.
Years ago, MU Extension specialists found a system that works. A series of workshops in March will teach the spray-smother-spray method. The one-day classes will be held in Kansas, Missouri and Kentucky.
The method takes time—at least one growing season. Typically, the pasture is sprayed with an herbicide in spring. Then a cover crop, such as pearl millet, is drilled into the dying sod. The crop provides grazing, but also smothers grass seedlings that sprout from seed in the soil. Finally, a second spraying in the fall kills the cover crop. That also takes out tough tillers and seedlings that survived smothering.
"Almost everyone thinks of a way to shorten the process," Roberts says. "Shortcuts don't work. The eradication recipe is time-tested. It should be followed."
The specialists warn that endophyte-free fescues don't work. They die out the first year.
The Alliance for Grassland Renewal conducts the workshops. The Alliance, started in Missouri, is made up of participants in pasture production. That includes industry leaders, farmers and university specialists.
The Alliance cooperates with extension services in Missouri, Kansas and Kentucky.

Each school runs 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
