On our tomato plants, the bottom leaves have solid brown spots and spots with beige centers. What do I do?
How to remove tree stumps the natural way
I had two trees removed and now have two stumps. I don't want to burn or dig them out. How I can accelerate the composting of these stumps? One friend suggested applying fertilizer to the stumps. Can you recommend other options?

My mum leaves have a spotty, blotchy disease already. How do I handle this?
Waterfront homeowners should take extra care with herbicides
We live on a creek, a tributary of a river that goes into the Chesapeake Bay. Our waterfront is protected by riprap. We have an awful time with poison ivy and other plants growing on it. Is there an herbicide OK for waterfront property?
Eastern tent caterpillars are relatively harmless
A 10-inch cocoon appeared, literally overnight, on my cherry tree, and when I broke it open with a broom, to my horror, it was full of large crawling millipedes or worm-like creatures and what seems to be rotting wood. I'm worried it will kill the tree. Is it gypsy moths?
Butterfly bushes are invasive, but some varieties are less so
Are there butterfly bushes that are reliably noninvasive, in addition to the Lo and Behold types that are being marketed as sterile? I have seen Miss Ruby, Miss Molly and the Flutterby series listed as noninvasive, too.
Strawberry fruit should be removed during plant's first season
The nursery has strawberry plants with berries. Once fruit is set, should it be removed to focus plant energy on roots, or is it too late to divert plant energy at that point? What about tomato transplants?
Lone star ticks may trigger a meat allergy
Last year I broke out in very itchy, weeping pustules on my legs … hands and feet but never saw any bugs on me, my clothes or my bed. At that time, I found insects on my dog. I thought it was flea dirt until I saw them move. They are round and black with a small white spot on their backs. My doctor...

Cambridge approves UK's first cycle-only green lights at notorious blackspot junction
New signals will give bikes a five-second headstart over other traffic
Previous News
Next News
Cambridgeshire County Council has signed off what's claimed to be the UK's first advanced green light for cyclists, giving them a few seconds to move off in safety ahead of other vehicles.
The junction at the Catholic Church on the Hills Road approach - a notorious blackspot that has seen 11 cyclists injured in collisions over the last five years to May 2013.
The Department for Transport has approved the plans, and work will be completed by autumn.
It comes as part of a wider £900,000 improvement scheme for cyling in the city.
The new style of lights could set a precedent in the UK and become widespread. They will be complemented by Trixi mirrors, new road surfacing, a red advanced stopping area, and new street lighting around the junction.
Cambridgeshire County Councillor Noel Kavanagh, Cycling Champion, said: "I am glad that the Department for Transport has backed this trial and hope, if it is successful, to see it used at other junctions in Cambridge and in other parts of Cambridgeshire.
"This should improve safety for all users at the junction as it allows cyclists to clear the junction giving extra space also for motorists. This is just one of a range of cycling improvements that are being introduced across the County."
Cycling Campaign spokesman Robin Heydon, said: "Cambridge Cycling Campaign welcomes the trial of cycle traffic lights at this junction.
"Similar bicycle traffic lights are very common elsewhere in Europe, and we expect they are equally successful here. Enabling those on cycles to have a head start over motor vehicles will help those who are less confident, increasing the perceived safety that is important to get more people using bicycles.
"Once this trial has been formally evaluated, we would like to see this rolled out to many other light controlled junctions in Cambridgeshire and around the UK."
At the time the junction improvements were announced, we reported how Cambridge Cycling Campaign chairman Martin Lucas-Smith had condemned the plans. He told the Cambridge News outside the council meeting: "Stuffing evermore traffic through this accident-prone junction clearly remains the priority.
"We think this is totally inappropriate for a 'cycling city', and against its own policy to favour cycling and walking.
"The scheme is better than the current junction design, but it would be hard to make it otherwise."
Although the Bow roundabout redesign in London also features two "bike only" lights to allow riders a few seconds' head start over drivers, the Cambridge junction is the first to use an advance stopping area within the main traffic lane.
Im pretty sure that we have a set of these in Brighton on The Drove heading North. Been there for a few months now.

They've been on the old shoreham road cycle path in Brighton for about a year and they do seem to work without drivers using them as their green! The actual lights are angled down and across the road rather than directly toward traffic so they are actually difficult to see if you are in the car(I drive and cycle along here).!

AbstractWhile it has become apparent that we can and will collect data at unprecedented rates thanks to a wide range of high-resolution high-throughput sensors, it has also become apparent that we do not have the algorithms and tools to satisfactorily analyze Big Data. Cloud computing as an infrastructure (e.g., Amazon Web Services), as a platform (e.g., Google Apps), and as a software ecosystem (e.g., Hadoop/MapReduce and NoSQL tools) offers a promising compute-and-store environment (complementary to supercomputing) to handle the massive amount of data created by NASA missions. In this proposal, we will develop a Cloud-based open architecture Analytics, Store and QUEry (CASQUE) system for data-intensive scientific computing for NASA missions. The architecture and workflow will be tailored for specific NASA missions and will be thoroughly tested in large-scale relevant cloud environments.

While it is a misconception to think that most people believed in a flat earth well into the early modern period, it was certainly a commonly held belief in early Chinese thought, and it was not until the great Greek mathematicians that Europeans started to accept the spherical earth theory. Pythagoras is the man most commonly associated with the idea, but it was really only in the Renaissance, and the beginning of voyages that circumnavigated the earth, that his ideas became proved beyond all doubt.

The belief that Starkville baseball coach Travis Garner has in Tyler Barnes is beginning to pay off.
After watching Barnes struggle at the plate during the early part of the season, Garner watched as the Yellowjacket continued to work hard to improve his offensive game.
Division games, especially those that come against a rival, are not usually easy.
That was the case Tuesday for the Starkville Lady Yellowjackets against the Columbus Lady Falcons.
In the end, Starkville pulled through with strong team play to get the 10-9 victory over Columbus.
The partnership between the East Mississippi Community College rodeo program and the city of West Point has been a good thing over the last couple of years.
With assistance provided by Luke Lummus Rodeo Productions, the Lions will be hosting the fourth event of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association's 2014 Ozark Region spring schedule.
Jerica James was making basketball plays all over the court when the Mississippi State Bulldogs needed them the most against Southern Mississippi Monday night.
She started it on defense with a key block of Gillom Trophy winner Jamierra Faulkner of the Golden Eagles with 24 seconds remaining in the first overtime and the Bulldogs holding a slim 65-64 advantage.
Mississippi State may have settled on its pitching rotation for the rest of the Southeastern Conference slate.
The Bulldogs got three solid outings from their starting pitchers in a series win over Vanderbilt this past weekend.
When you have a pair of schools located in close proximity that are both strong in sports, it only makes sense to compete against one another.
Starkville and East Webster put that theory into practice Monday as the pair faced off on the tennis court.
The Starkville High School softball team had a tough weekend, but picked up a hard fought 16-15 victory over Noxapater Monday evening.
The Lady Tigers jumped out to an early 7-0 lead in the top of the first.Â
With Shanele Johnson, Iyanna Clark and Alexis Poe coming across the plate Starkville chipped the lead to four at 7-3.
The Women's National Invitational Tournament doesn't seed its teams when placed in the bracket.
If it did, Mississippi State women's basketball coach Vic Schaefer believes Southern Mississippi would have been one of the higher seeds of the event.
With a 27-6 overall record, the Golden Eagles have one of the better marks in the field and that has gotten Schaefer's attention.
Savannah Carter has experienced success at each level of her basketball career.
After helping her Tulsa (Oklahoma) Memorial High School team to the state tournament for four seasons, Carter was a part of a NJCAA Division I national championship at Trinity Valley Community College.
Carter was signed by the women's coaching staff at Mississippi State to bring some of that winning to Starkville.
Mississippi State saw good outings from all three starters over the weekend.Â
Trevor Fitts showed that Sunday and gave the Bulldogs their third quality start of the weekend, the first time MSU starters have done that since the 2011 Atlanta Regional.

Now that the source code to the .NET Framework has been made available, is there any way to actually view it that doesn't involve using Visual Studio to step into a framework class? Several times now, I've been curious just how something works and wished I could peek at some code, but don't feel like putting together an application and doing an autopsy in the debugger.
My google-fu has failed me, providing me only with blog posts announcing the fact that the source is available. (Thanks, blogosphere!) I was positive that someone would have thrown it all up on the web by now.

By January 2016 it is likely that all drivers will be required to install EOBRs in their vehicles as a means of monitoring hours of service. Proponents see it as a way to make driving more efficient and point to it as the first real change to the act of logging hours of service since the 1930s. Opponents view the replacement for paper logs as an intrusive instrument that will make life more difficult for drivers than it already is.

This question can only be answered by addressing other related questions, specifically: Who's asking and for what purpose?
Today's independent business marketplace attracts a wide variety of buyers eager for a piece of ownership action. Buyers of small businesses are most likely replacing lost jobs or searching for a happier alternative to corporate life. Buyers of mid-sized and large operations are, typically, private investment companies seeking businesses to build and eventually sell for a profit.
In many cases, the buyer and seller reach a tentative agreement on the sale of the business, only to have it fall apart. There are reasons this happens, and, once understood, many of the worst deal-smashers can be avoided.
Statistics reveal that out of about 15 would-be business buyers, only one will actually buy a business. It is important that potential sellers be knowledgeable on what buyers go through to actually become business owners. This is especially true for those who have started their own business or have forgotten what they went thorough prior to buying their business.
41% joined the family business;36% wanted more control over their future...
If you are considering entering the world of franchising, an important consideration is assessing the value of the business. All of the following factors either affect or help determine valuations of typical franchise operations.
Why does it take so long to sell a business? Price and terms are the biggest reasons.
For a business to sell, there has to be a seller - and a buyer. The buyer of today is a bit different than the one of yesterday. Today's buyer is not a risk-taker, is concerned about the financials, and seems to be overly concerned about price. Unfortunately, buyers have to understand that they cannot buy someone else's financial statements.
Selling one's business can be a traumatic and emotional event. In fact, "seller's remorse" is one of the major reasons that deals don't close.
Creating value in the privately held company makes sense whether the owner is considering selling the business, plans on continuing to operate the business, or hopes to have the company remain in the family.

Key Developments
On November 7, 2012, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck off the coast of San Marcos, Guatemala, near the border with Mexico, resulting in 41 deaths and displacing an estimated 5,250 people, according to the Government of Guatemala (GoG) National Coordination for Disaster Management (CONRED). Initial reports indicated that the earthquake damaged an estimated 2,300 houses, 200 of which incurred severe damage, in Guatemala's southwestern region. In response, CONRED dispatched emergency response teams, including urban search-and-rescue (USAR) teams, and transported more than 44 metric tons (MT) of relief supplies—food, mattresses, and blankets—to San Marcos and Quetzaltenango departments.
On November 8, 2012, U.S. Ambassador to Guatemala Arnold A. Chacon declared a disaster due to the effects of the earthquake. In response, USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) provided $50,000 to USAID/Guatemala for the local purchase of emergency relief items—including water purification supplies, blankets, and hygiene kits—for distribution through CONRED to affected populations, as well as for fuel to support response efforts. The USAID/OFDA senior regional advisor in Latin America and the Caribbean traveled to Guatemala and led USAID/OFDA's earthquake response in coordination with USAID/OFDA's Guatemala-based disaster risk management specialist and USAID/OFDA-activated local surge capacity consultants. The USAID/OFDA team evaluated humanitarian conditions, conducted damage and needs assessments, and liaised with GoG emergency officials and humanitarian partners.
Guatemala is prone to a variety of natural hazards, particularly volcanic eruptions, flooding, and earthquakes. Since 2003, USAID/OFDA has responded to eight disaster events in Guatemala. USAID/OFDA disaster assistance has contributed to the emergency relief efforts of local and international non-governmental organizations, as well as the GoG. In addition to direct disaster assistance, USAID/OFDA supports ongoing disaster risk reduction activities and capacity building initiatives for disaster response in Guatemala and the larger Latin America and Caribbean region. For example, in 2012, USAID/OFDA donated USAR equipment—valued at $25,000—to CONRED and Guatemalan USAR teams as part of an ongoing commitment to strengthen national response capacity.

Our stay at Joyce's was lovely. The apartment is large and airy and beautifully appointed with art deco furniture and beautiful art. Joyce was very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The room and private bath are lovely and spacious, and the bed is very comfortable. The neighborhood is very interesting, has at least one lovely restaurant where we had both a delicious dinner and breakfast right around the corner (Caffe Latte -- great local hangout), and her apartment is very close to the 2 and 3 subway lines which connect to everywhere you would want to go in NYC quickly (many are express trains to save you time if you are going to lower Manhattan). We would recommend Joyce and her Airbnb offering without reservation. Thank you, Joyce. We hope to be able to stay with you the next time we are in the city.
