Casey is still under contract till the end of 2012. Nakamoto may well tell him to back off or else. Nothing Casey can do about it. I don't think Dani will want a championship gifted to him like Stoners was in 2011 either. But thats politics.

Also, which inks are you using? IJF or OEM?
I'm currently avoiding it using low bronzing papers like those satin, luster and matte finishes. I produced and sent to Inkjetfly a detailed report of the problem with many scans of prints made with some non-OEM and OEM ink combinations. They argued I probably got a bad batch for the GO. I'm still waiting for the new batch to arrive. When it's done, I will come back here and confirm (or not) the suspicion.

After unsuccessful attempts to extradite French nationals who killed their daughter and fled country, Lee Zeitouni's parents file complaint in France, enabling local authorities to pursue legal action
Published: 07.01.12, 23:04 / Israel News
The family of Lee Zeitouni, who was killed in a hit-and-run incident involving
two French citizens who fled Israel, filed a complaint in France against the assailants.
Related stories:
The website of French newspaper La Figaro dedicated its headline to the story, noting that "the law dictated the parents' decision," because France does not extradite its citizens to other countries.
Shortly after, Khayat said in a phone conversation from France that he does not intend to return to Israel, from fear of being sent to 20 years in prison. He noted that he preferred to stand trial in
Paris, where the maximal punishment he could receive is seven years improsonment.

Internet Hazardously Causing Global Warming
Can u believe that there is millions of tonnes carbon dioxide released due to the excessive usage of internet? To be precise it is 830 millions of tonnes of CO2 gas is being emitted due to internet and other online factors.
Past in those good olden days when we used directs mails and notebooks, scientists shouted and yelled saying that we are wasting paper and causing global warming. The advent of internet and later on, many other software, technologies etc. made us shift from our habitual papers to the so-called environment-friendly internet. And now when we are totally into internet, at peak stage where our lives are no more possible with internet, they are shouting again saying internet is hazardous and causes global warming and polar ice caps are melting.
But what have we got now as our alternative to internet? Well it is our well-known cloud-based technology which helps you to switch from the shackles of physical hardware to an easily adaptable and accessible cloud based systems. Researchers from the Bell Labs say that if the shift to the cloud based systems is not done, the CO2 emissions are going to get doubled by 2020 causing a great need for fresh breathe.
So as a social being, we need to make our minimal efforts to bring about a change by switching to energy efficient devices and renewable energy sources and stop the polar ice caps melting and the water levels in the oceans rise up.

History of Transformers
For most fans of the transformers who grew up in the 1980s, The Transformers (1984-1987) TV shows was one of the best of the transformers series, which attracted a majority of the fans of the characters. It was popular at the time it first aired. The cartoon indeed thrilled many kids with the animated adventures of the robot toys.
It used to begin with a voiceover that introduced it as something huge and mythological ("Many millions of years ago, on the planet Cybertron…") It grabbed the attention of kids who loved stories about aliens that have been caught in an intergalactic war. Although the cartoon served to make icons out of the standout characters such as Megatron, Starscream and Optimus Prime, many other main characters like Bumblebee, Soundwave, Jazz, and Ravage became great household names. Most kids were not really troubled by Megatron's "Decepticons, retreat!" yells or even Spike and Bumblebee's getting into trouble. What made them enjoy most is seeing robots change into other things and start fighting each other. To see how this movie had characters who mattered more to some fans, just bring up the 1986 spinoff/continuation of Transformers.
Transformers: Headmasters
At the end of the U.S's fourth season-which was Japan's third season of the Transformers series in 1987, another animated series called Transformers: Headmasters began showing exclusively in Japan. "The Rebirth" story arc didn't show in Japan. The titular Headmasters that aired in the Japan series differed from the ones that were introduced in the U.S. series'- the fourth season. With amazing characters, it aired for 35 episodes until 1988.
The history of the Transformers is deep and engaging for any fan of the transformers characters. There are successful transformer series and generations that did very well in other years such as Generation 2 (1993 – 1995), Transformers (1996 – 1998), Beast Era Japan-Only Series (1998 – 1999), Beast Era Japan-Only Series (1998 – 1999), Armada (2002 – 2003) and most recently, Transformers Animated (2007 – 2009).

What's the best thing since sliced bread? Well, sliced bread.
It's National Bread Week, and to us in the studio, there is not much that beats a good sandwich. With that in mind we decided to have a look at some of the recent marketing campaigns in the bread industry.
But first, a few crumbs of information
– According to the Bakers Federation, 11 million loaves of bread are sold every day in the UK! Tweet this!
– 80% of all bread sold in the UK comes from large brands, e.g. Kingsmill, Warburtons and Hovis. Only 3% comes from craft and high street bakeries. The other 17% is made in store in supermarkets.
– On the continent, the tables are turned, the majority of bread consumed is produced by craft bakeries.
It's pretty clear that bread is big business here in the UK, and it is no surprise that some of the biggest bread manufacturers have used some creative marketing techniques over the years to ensure they stay firmly in our hearts, homes and stomachs!
122 years of Hovis
In 2008 Hovis released a TV advert that rivaled John Lewis' calibre of 'mini movie' style advertisements. By showing the most significant events in the UK over the last 122 years, the advert was able to grab the attention of bread lovers of all ages and backgrounds all over Britain.
Kingsmill becomes Queensmill
|Bread fit for a Queen
2012 saw Great Britain celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and no doubt there was many-a-sandwich to be had at the numerous street parties that took place up and down the country. Kingsmill decided to celebrate in it's own way by changing the name of the brand, to befit the current monarch more suitably, for a brief period of time.
|The image that got crust lovers everywhere excited!
Warburtons' April Fool becomes a reality
Most recently, Warburtons released an image of an 'All-Ends' loaf as an April Fools prank. The campaign was supposed to end there, but over 1000 people took to social media to share their excitement for this 'product'. Due to the response, Warburtons have now produced a limited number of these crust-filled loaves and is sending them to their biggest crust enthusiasts.
Don't forget the local guys!
As exciting as a feature length advert, or a gimmick bread loaf is, it's important to remember your local bakers, who work hard every day to provide you with something special, such as that super crusty, yet soft in the middle baguette to slice up with your soup. Sometimes their greatest form of advertising is that fresh bread smell that catches you on your way past, and who can resist that? Via Vecchia in York, at the top of the Shambles, is a great example of this, and the bread is snapped up so quickly if you blink you'll miss it!
Still local to Yorkshire, but taking on the supermarkets with their bloomer, brown and seeded loaves are Jackson's Bakery, based in Hull. It's great to see Yorkshire on the national map for yet another great product!
So if you're a total bread-head, take advantage of National Bread Week and try something new! If you're just a fan of the humble slice, you could always consider doing something a bit creative, like this:
|The ultimate geek toast!
We'd love to hear about your favourite bakeries, and about your favourite bread, tweet us @ubd_studio, or leave a comment below.

Securigera varia
Authors: Mandy Tu, eds. John M. Randall and Barry A. Rice, Global Invasive Species Team, The Nature Conservancy
- 1 Overview
- 8 Resources
- 10 Images from Bugwood.org
(L.) Lassen
(L.) Lassen
- Appearance
- Securigera varia is a low-growing, herbaceous vine that usually forms thickets up to 3 ft. (0.9 m) in height.
- Foliage
- The leaves are dark green pinnately compound with 9 to 25 pairs of leaflets and a terminal leaflet. Leaflets are 0.75 in. (1.9 cm) long.
- Flowers
- Flowering occurs in the summer. The pea-like, fragrant flowers are white to pink to purple and resemble a large clover flower because they are found in long-stalked clusters.
- Fruit
- Seed pods are segmented, pointed, borne in crown-like clusters. The straw colored seeds are less than 0.3 in. (0.9 cm) long, round, flat, and winged.
- Ecological Threat
- Securigera varia reproduces and spreads rapidly by rhizomes as well as seeds. It forms dense thickets in open, disturbed areas such as fields and roadsides. Once established it is difficult to remove. Securigera varia is native to Europe, Asia and Africa. It was first introduced into North America around the 1950s and has been widely planted for erosion control.
Scientific Name: Securigera varia (L.) Lassen
Syn.: Coronilla varia L.
Common Names: Crown vetch and trailing crown vetch are common names used for C. varia, but it is not a true vetch. True vetches are plants in the genus Vicia, which have tendrils for climbing.[1][2]
The genus name "Coronilla" is derived from the Latin "corona" meaning crown. "Coronilla" means little crown. The flowers and fruits are arranged in rings, suggesting little crowns. The species epithet "varia" means difference or variation, and refers to the plant's multi-colored flowers.
Coronilla varia is a perennial herb in the pea/legume family (Fabaceae or Leguminosae). C. varia has spreading to diffuse stems that can measure up to 1.8 meters long and up to 0.6 meters tall. Its leaves are dark green and odd-pinnately-compound, usually with 9 to 25 leaflets per leaf. Leaflets are generally oblong, elliptic to obovate in shape, and 1 to 2 cm long. C. varia has a multi-branched root system and can spread vegetatively by its strong fleshy rhizomes.
Flowers of C. varia typically appear from late spring through summer, and occur bunched (14 to 20 flowers) in umbels on long, extended stalks. Individual flowers are pea-like with two lips (bilabiate), and can vary in color from pinkish-white to deep pink. The corollas are 10 to 12 mm long and exhibit clawed petals with a 5-toothed calyx. The seed pods (loments) are slender, segmented, pointed, and are borne in crown-like clusters.[2][3][4][5]
Coronilla varia has been widely planted since the 1950s across the northern two-thirds of the U.S. for erosion control, pasture, green fertilizer, mine reclamation, or as an ornamental ground cover. It is often used as a bank stabilizer along roads and waterways. C. varia becomes problematic when it invades into natural areas, such as into native grassland prairies and dunes, where it works to exclude native vegetation by fully covering and shading those native plants. It can climb over small trees and shrubs, and eventually form large single-species stands. C. varia seeds prolifically, but it can also spread rapidly by rhizome growth. C. varia is able to change soil nutrients, as it works to enrich soils with nitrogen (via its symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria). Further, C. varia alters available fuel loads in fire-adapted ecosystems.
To control C. varia in small areas, careful pulling or digging-out the entire plant, followed by the pulling of any new seedlings in successive years, can be successful. Repeated mowing over several years has also been successful for the control of C. varia. There are no available biological controls for the control of C. varia. In large infestations, C. varia is best controlled with an integrated management approach. This may involve first removing much of the C. varia standing biomass (by manual removal, cutting or burning), then spraying herbicide (either glyphosate, 2,4-D, triclopyr, or clopyralid) at recommended label rates on the cut stems and foliage. Follow-up treatment with herbicide is likely required to control any surviving stems or new seedlings. After control efforts, active restoration to create dense native vegetation has the highest probability of long-term success. In areas with residual native vegetation, post-control restoration efforts may not be necessary, especially if the herbicide applied did little or no damage to those desirable native species.
Coronilla varia is native to the Mediterranean region of Europe, southwest Asia and northern Africa. It was first introduced into the U.S. in the 1950s primarily for erosion control, and has since been planted for other uses, such as for pasture, mine reclamation, as a green fertilizer, or as a showy ornamental ground cover. C. varia is now documented as naturalized in all states in the U.S., except for California, North Dakota, Louisiana and Alaska.[1]
Coronilla varia is widely distributed in the U.S. and is tolerant of a broad range of environmental conditions. It can withstand periods of drought as well as heavy precipitation (up to 165 cm annual precipitation), but cannot tolerate flooded soil conditions. It is tolerant of cold temperatures (down to –33° C), but is intolerant of shade.[1] Therefore, C. varia prefers sunny, open areas. Since C. varia was largely planted for erosion control, it is now located mostly along roadsides, rights-of-way, open fields, waste grounds and on gravel bars along streams.[5] It is from these areas, that C. varia can invade into high-quality wildlands, such as into grasslands and dunes in Missouri, Minnesota, and Illinois.[4] C. varia is also common in native grassland prairies in the Tallgrass Prairie in Iowa [6], and is pestiferous in both native shale barren communities in the Allegany forest in Pennsylvania [7] and in the glade/barrens system and grasslands in the Rolling Fork/Salt River drainage in Kentucky.[8]
Coronilla varia can invade and dominate a variety of vegetation types. It is a serious management threat in many natural areas due to its prolific seeding ability and its rapid rate of vegetative spread via its rhizomes, which can create dense single-species stands. When plant communities become thoroughly infested by C. varia, native plant biodiversity decreases and natural successional processes become altered. C. varia is able to competitively reduce and/or exclude the growth of most native plant species (primarily by shading), including the native rare plant Solidago shortii in the southeastern U.S..[9] By excluding those native plants, the native wildlife that relies on those habitats and communities are then compromised.
In the Tallgrass Prairie system in Iowa, C. varia displaces native perennial grasses and forbs at the Broken Kettle Grasslands and at Ames High Prairie preserves.[6] In the Allegany forest in Pennsylvania, C. varia competes with and excludes those native species of the open woodlands in the globally restricted shale barren communities.[7] In the Rolling Fork/Salt River drainage in Kentucky, C. varia competes with and displaces tall warm-season grasses such as Andropogon gerardii (big bluestem), Schizachyrium scoparium (little bluestem), and Sorghastrum nutans (Indian grass). It also competes with native forbs such as Echinacea pallida (pale purple coneflower), Physostegia virginiana (obedient plant), and with the federally-endangered Leavenworthia exigua (glade cress) and Helianthus eggertii (Eggert's sunflower).[8] The Ottawa Bluffs Preserve in Minnesota reports that C. varia invades and displaces native plants in its intact prairie communities.[10]
Lastly, C. varia can alter ecosystem function and nutrient cycling, leading to further degradation of those infested habitats. When C. varia invades new habitats, there is an increase in soil nitrogen (it fixes nitrogen with a symbiotic cyanobacteria), as well as changes to the overall fuel load in fire-adapted communities.
Moisture, light and temperature C. varia can survive in a variety of environmental conditions, but grows best (has the highest yields) in areas with 46 cm (18 in) or more annual precipitation. Established stands of C. varia can tolerate up to 165 cm (65 in) of annual precipitation, as well as withstand long periods of drought, but cannot tolerate flooded or anaerobic soil conditions.[1] C. varia prefers sunny, open areas, as it is intolerant of shade, and mature plants can withstand minimum temperatures of –33° C (–28° F).[1]
Soil texture and soil pH C. varia is well-adapted to all coarse and medium textured soils, including sands, gravelly-rocky soils, and loams. It does not grow particularly well in fine textured soils, but can survive in silts and clays.[1] C. varia can grow on low fertility sites and on soils ranging in pH from 5.0 to 7.5. It is not tolerant of saline and alkaline soils.[1]
Reproduction & seed viability C. varia can reproduce vegetatively by rhizome sprouts, or via the production of seeds. Art Gover of Pennsylvania State University Extension (pers. comm.) reports that C. varia will typically have a large seed bank stored in the soil, and that these seeds do not require a period of cold stratification to germinate. He adds that C. varia management sites that have been monitored for a number of years, still have seeds that continue to germinate. It is unknown how long seeds of C. varia remain viable in soil.
C. varia has been extensively planted throughout much of the United States. Even though it does not appear to resist erosion well [11][12], it has been planted along many roads, highways, and disturbed areas for erosion control or for road bank stabilization. It has also been widely planted for ground cover, mine reclamation, and as a cover crop, since it (through its association with cyanobacteria) provides nitrogen to soil.
C. varia produces high quality forage for livestock.[13][14] While C. varia can be poisonous to horses if ingested in large quantities, there is generally little or no bloat hazard to other livestock if they graze C. varia (Cornell University 2001). Deer and elk will also eat C. varia [15], and rabbits, ground-nesting birds, and meadow voles often use C. varia as cover.[16] C. varia is sometimes used by caterpillars and butterflies as a host plant.[17][15]
Potential for Restoration of Invaded Sites
As with all prolific invaders, the key to the successful control of C. varia is to prevent new infestations or to control them as soon as possible. If controlled during the early stages of invasion, the potential for successful management is high. Since C. varia can reproduce both vegetatively and/or sexually, has a wide range of adaptability, and has few pests and predators, it becomes difficult to manage once firmly established. As such, the potential for large-scale restoration of wildlands where C. varia has become established is probably medium.
The best control of C. varia is probably with the use of an integrated management approach. The use of manual and mechanical methods, then another control treatment (such as a herbicide spray to control seedlings) repeated for several years, followed by active restoration efforts may be necessary to obtain desired results.
Manual and Mechanical Control
Manual and/or mechanical methods of plant removal can control C. varia in small, isolated patches. These methods however, are very time and labor-intensive, as all pieces of the stems, roots, and strong rhizomes must carefully be removed to avoid resprouting. Populations must also be monitored for several years following plant removal because seeds stored in the soil seed bank may germinate.
Cutting or mowing C. varia at a frequency of less than once per year is not effective at controlling populations, but does offer a method for temporarily stopping or slowing its spread. Heim & Glass (1989)[5] report that mowing around the periphery of the desired vegetation (natural area) will keep C. varia from spreading into the area vegetatively, but does not prevent the arrival of seeds. Heim & Glass (1989)[5] and Heim (1990)[4] also report that repeated mowing (several times per year over several years) can eventually control C. varia. Repeated late spring mowing appears to be the most effective. Cutting or mowing can also remove standing biomass, so spray herbicides have higher efficacy.
C. varia is good quality forage and is highly palatable to cattle, horses, goats and sheep. Horses, however, should not ingest C. varia in large quantities (Cornell University 2001). When C. varia is properly grown and managed as a pasture crop, grazing does not negatively affect its rate of growth. If pastures are continually (or near-continually) grazed, other non-native species will probably invade these pastures.[14] Grazing by itself therefore, does not appear to control C. varia.
Grazing can, however, be used in combination with a herbicide treatment for good control. Grazing works similarly to cutting or burning, in that it first removes most of the C. varia aboveground biomass, which ensures good herbicide spray coverage on its leaves and stems, resulting in good kill results.
Prescribed Burning
If C. varia is not dominant, prescribed burns in late spring can be an effective control treatment, especially if the surrounding native ecosystem is fire-adapted. Burning may need to be repeated for several years to achieve adequate control.[4]
At sites where C. varia is abundant, however, burning alone is not an effective control option. Burning is effective against seedlings or in slowing the spread of C. varia, but large populations will not be controlled because C. varia does not produce enough fuel to carry a hot fire. Heim & Glass (1989)[5] report that in large infestations with sufficient fuel, fire will set back the periphery of the infestation, but the center of the population will be left unaffected.
Herbicides are currently the most effective means to control large infestations of C. varia. Herbicides for C. varia control can be applied with either backpack sprayers (to minimize overspray) or with a boom. Complete coverage of all stems of C. varia is necessary for good control (i.e., spray to wet). Higher rates of efficacy are generally obtained if the spray herbicide treatment is preceded by the removal of the accumulated plant litter (by first burning, mowing, or grazing) to ensure good foliar coverage. Heim (1990)[4] and Heim & Glass (1989)[5] indicate that 2,4-D, glyphosate, triclopyr, or clopyralid may be used to control C. varia.
2,4-D amine can be foliar-applied for good control in early spring when C. varia is actively growing. It will generally kill the aboveground portions of the plant(s), but some plants may survive.[5] If spot applying by a hand sprayer, Heim (1990)[4] suggests using it at the recommended label rate. He also recommends using the 2,4-D amine formulation instead of the ester formulation, as it has a lower level of volatility and does not drift as readily. 2,4-D is a dicot-specific herbicide, and should not harm grasses or other monocots. Follow-up treatments are usually necessary to obtain good control results. A combination of 2,4-D with dicamba (tradename Weed-b-Gon®) can also be successful.[3]
Glyphosate (tradename RoundUp®) can be foliar applied as a 1% or 2% solution, during early spring when the plant is actively growing. Heim (1990)[4] adds that follow-up treatments are necessary the following fall or early spring.
Triclopyr (tradename Garlon 3A®) is also effective at controlling C. varia. Heim & Glass (1989)[5] report that a 2% solution of triclopyr kills 99% of C. varia in large infestations.
Clopyralid (tradename Transline®) is a more target-specific herbicide than glyphosate, 2,4-D, or triclopyr, controlling only certain families of dicot plants, including the legumes (Fabaceae), composites (Asteraceae) and smartweeds (Polygonaceae). Bryon Walters (pers. comm.)[18] of the Illinois Natural Areas Improvements reports that a 0.25% solution of clopyralid with 0.5% surfactant can kill up to 100% of C. varia cover (see "Examples" section below for more details).
C. varia is tolerant to both imazethapyr and imazapic (tradename Plateau®) herbicides. Beran et al. (1999)[19] and Masters et al. (1996)[20] both determined when conducting experiments on grassland restoration, that C. varia is not only tolerant to these herbicides, but that its rate of establishment was actually improved after its competitors (namely Cirsium arvense-Canada thistle) were treated and reduced in abundance with these compounds.
There are no available biocontrol agents for C. varia. Coleophora colutella (Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae) has recently been reported as immigrating into the U.S., and its larvae feed on C. varia.[21] Wheeler (1991)[22] reports that Lepyronia coleoptrata (Homoptera: Cercopidae), a spittlebug from Europe that feeds upon C. varia, has recently expanded its range into the northeastern U.S. Due to the continued use of C. varia as a forage, pasture, and erosion control plant, it is unlikely that a biocontrol agent will be introduced for its control.
C. varia is a strong competitor and is generally able to outcompete and suppress native vegetation once it has invaded. If C. varia populations are reduced, however (by herbicide, repeated mowing, etc.), the native plants (if still present) are usually able to rapidly recolonize sites.[6][4] Art Gover [12] suggests selecting a variety of cool-season native grasses for competition. He recommends the use of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) where it is native, because it is taller than C. varia and may shade it.
In studies of Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) control --a non-native to North America despite its common name-- C. varia was able to successfully compete with it under certain conditions. In wet years, C. varia suppresses Canada thistle better than defoliation alone.[23][24] Drought reduces the competitiveness of C. varia, resulting in higher densities of thistles the following year.[25]
Iowa In The Nature Conservancy's Northern Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in Iowa, Scott Moats has had several years of experience controlling C. varia. He reports that cutting or burning, together or alone, had little negative impact on C. varia. However, he adds that these management steps were beneficial and necessary because they first reduce accumulated plant litter, which then allowed the following herbicide treatment to come in more-complete contact with the target plants.
Scott applies 2,4-D at label-recommended rates to control C. varia, and states that it works well. He reports that it usually takes two years to eliminate a patch, and that he finds a few plants re-emerging in the same locations after 2 to 4 years. He has been treating these new plants before they flower. Since these new patches are small, treatment only takes a few minutes, as compared to 20-30 minutes for the original infestations.
Scott also reports that in all sites where control treatments have taken place, the native vegetation appears to have recovered once C. varia infestations decreased in abundance. Therefore, he has not implemented any additional restoration efforts. Since most of these patches are small and isolated, recruitment of native species from the surrounding vegetation is not a problem.
Minnesota At The Nature Conservancy's Ottawa Bluffs Preserve in central Minnesota, Colin McGuigan reports that he first started controlling C. varia using fosamine ammonium (Krenite S® at a rate of 1.84 oz/gallon water with Diluent Blue® marking agent) in 1996, then in 2000, he started using the herbicide clopyralid (Transline® at label rates) because it is a more specific herbicide. Colin reports that he has seen good control using clopyralid spot spraying, but that new seedlings and resprouts (from the rhizomes) continue to emerge. He adds that they have also been using a 3-yr fire rotation cycle, which works to scarify seeds of C. varia in the soil seed bank. He hopes that this will eventually exhaust the seed bank of all remaining C. varia propagules.
Illinois Bryon Walters of the Illinois Natural Areas Improvements reports that for the best control of C. varia, to spray it in spring (late April to early May) before flowering and before it forms a thick mat. In Illinois, June is too late to spray to get effective results. Spraying should be done before heavy flowering, or seeds may fall to ground.
Bryon uses clopyralid (tradename Transline®) in a 0.25% solution with 0.5% surfactant (Miller Nu-Film®) and blue dye. He sprays the plants with either a backpack sprayer or a mechanical sprayer (boom with an adjustable nozzle) mounted on an ATV. Bryon says that he sprays all leaf surfaces, but is careful to avoid overspray onto native asters. If all surfaces are covered, he reports a 100% kill rate. He reports that when spraying large patches, the entire outer edge must also be sprayed. Whatever is not sprayed will survive the treatment.
Bryon adds that even when using clopyralid, repeat treatments are necessary at least two times per month immediately following his initial treatment. After a 3-week period, C. varia will start to brown. Bad infestations will need additional annual treatments until the seed source has been depleted. This may take several years. Bryon has also tried using 2,4-D amine to control C. varia, but reports that this only top-kills the plants.
To determine the effectiveness of the management treatments, monitoring should occur both before and after control efforts. Monitoring should be continued for several years following the treatments to determine whether the impacts are lasting, and these data will allow you to assess changes in abundance (percent cover or density) of C. varia and desirable natives or "guilds" of natives over time.
Following initial control treatments, further control efforts and monitoring must be performed at least once-a-year for a minimum of 3 to 5 years, due to the ability of many invasive species to resprout, the viability of seeds in the seedbank, or the likelihood of re-invasion from nearby propagule sources.
Monitoring the status of other conservation targets or community attributes, such as the growth and survival of restoration plantings, the regeneration of native plant species, invertebrates, and mammals, may be important indicators of ecosystem health. In general, the objectives of monitoring should track those of management.
While usually considered a research technique, measuring change in both "control" (unmanaged) as well as in the treated areas can be an effective way of assuring that any changes detected in treated areas are actually the result of management actions and not due to other factors. In communities that are in early successional stages or which have been recently disturbed, declines in abundance of invasive species may occur over time without management.
Although much is known regarding C. varia biology and growth due to its pasture and erosion-control potential, little is known regarding its impacts on natural areas or how to control this species. The following research topics need attention:
- What are the mechanisms of C. varia invasion and spread in different community types?
- How does native species competition and shading affect the growth, survival, and reproduction of C. varia?

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- A South Florida man has been ordered held without bond after being charged in the attempted shooting of two Palm Beach County Sheriff's detectives.
Michael Patterson, of West Palm Beach, has been charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
Court documents state that the 22-year-old was driving Thursday in a Lincoln Continental, and maneuvered it so that a passenger could shoot at undercover officers in an unmarked car.
The officers did not fire back and were not injured.
Patterson was denied bond at a court hearing on Saturday.
The shooter remains at large.

NEW YORK — As the lodging industry embraces the concept of sustainable operations, it's not surprising that the 2008 International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show's (IH/M&RS) favorite color was green.
No matter where attendees of the November event turned, the theme dominated the scene: the keynote address, seminars, a special display and awards all promoted greener operations.
Cintas Corp. earned the Editors' Choice Award in Décor for its Eco-friendly Suiting Collection, a 100-percent recycled polyester collection that offers style, comfort and functionality.
The textiles are produced from post-consumer products, including recycled plastic beverage bottles, which are processed into flakes, then filaments that are spun into yarn and ultimately woven into soft fabrics.
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts says it's the first national upscale lodging chain to mandate the Cintas eco-friendly uniforms. Front desk and other "customer-facing" employees must begin wearing the uniforms by the end of 2009, and housekeeping and other back-of-house staff are to follow by the end of 2010.
The program offers Trend, an urban line emphasizing dark and light blue colors with red accents, and Fresh Air, featuring nature-inspired earth tones and geared toward resort locations. Hotels may select among several design options to customize their uniform program based on location, climate and décor.
The uniforms, which don't require professional laundering, minimize the use of chemicals during cleaning and save hotel operators money, Wyndham says.
Valley Forge Fabrics earned top honors for Green Luxury with its LIVING FRESH line, a natural, high-thread-count bedding collection featuring an exotic blend of fibers from eucalyptus and cotton.EMPHASIS ON SUSTAINABILITY
The 93rd annual event attracted 34,050 registrants, and participation from national purchasing firms, management companies, military base lodges, boutique hotel operations and multiunit owners, according to GLM, the show's manager.
"This year, the IH/M&RS truly proved itself to be the must-attend market for industry," says Lynn White, show manager. "It became apparent … that attendees were here to search out suppliers that showed them to be more aggressive marketers in this period of uncertainty."
Matt Alexander, president of Pertl & Alexander, a New York-based laundry services consulting firm, described the event as having been "lightly attended."
He visited the booths of many laundry and linen industry vendors, including equipment manufacturers, textile companies and chemical manufacturers.
Some of the companies on hand were Chicago Dryer Co., Ecolab, G.A. Braun, Maytag Commercial Laundry, Milliken Table Linen Fabrics, Pellerin Milnor Corp., Speed Queen, UniMac and Wascomat.
"The green theme was certainly front and center," Alexander says. "Certainly, on the laundry side, we heard very clearly the greater emphasis on sustainability."
Many of the products introduced during the show are designed to save resources, including water, chemicals and even time.
Standard Textile introduced two new product lines: OneSTEP and its Studio Collection top-of-bed linens.
The OneSTEP program features linens that are delivered pre-laundered and incorporate special characteristics to help speed up housekeeping.
Products arrive Room Ready for You laundered with Tide, through a partnership with P&G Professional, another IH/M&RS exhibitor. An EZ ID technology allows easy identification of sheet size thanks to color-coded selvage yarns, and a new Center Lock Label in the hem takes the guesswork out of finding a sheet's center.
OneSTEP is designed to reduce processing and bed makeup time by up to three minutes per hotel room, says Greg Eubanks, group vice president of hospitality sales and marketing for Standard Textile.
The Studio Collection is a line of perfectly coordinated and versatile top covers, bed skirts, pillows and bed scarves designed for quick fulfillment, he adds.
Visitors to the P&G Professional booth learned the benefits of using Swiffer and Febreze to eliminate common in-room cleaning challenges. Swiffer features products to remove dirt, dust and hair with fibers that grab and lock them away. Febreze is formulated to eliminate staleness and difficult odors instead of masking them, to leave rooms smelling fresh and clean.

SWEET HOME, Ore. (AP) — Police in Sweet Home are wearing video cameras.
The portable cameras are about the size of a pager and clip onto shirts. The police cams record officer actions, and the video could be used as evidence.
KVAL reports (http://bit.ly/rtpQft ) officers say the visible camera on uniforms has helped control several situations that could have escalated out of control.
The department's 10 cameras were funded from a Linn County Victims Impact Panel grant. They cost $130 each.

Today, Elvis Aaron Presley would have been 78 years old. I wonder what the King would think of the world in which we now live. E was a complex man, a politically conservative drug addict who cherished his parents, loved his wife, and yet cheated on her on a regular basis. He lived a life of celebrity dysfunction. Much of his music reflected the turmoil that surrounded him. From the testosterone laden, chest pounding thumping beat of "Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love," the heartbreak of "Are You Lonesome Tonight," and the promise of "In the Ghetto," he entertained tens of millions by singing about his life. He was both loyal and generous to his friends and fans, yet at the end, he died alone. His death was reminiscent of a line from the T.S. Eliot poem The Hollow Men: "That's the way the world ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper."
Once a year on this date, I fix an Elvis Special – A peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich. The correct way of making this sandwich is to mash two tablespoons of creamy peanut butter together with a slightly ripe banana to make a spread. Make a sandwich with white bread and the spread. Saute the sandwich in a cast iron pan in butter. When brown and toasted on both sides, remove from the pan and trim the crust from the sandwich and add two slices of crisp bacon. Elvis was known to consume as many as forty of these in one sitting.
As the King of Rockin' Roll and the most prominent Southerner since Robert E. Lee, I wonder if Elvis would feel any responsibility for some of the problems facing us today. . . obesity, prescription drug abuse, continued racism. The older I get, I find I am less critical of some and more critical of others, much like the way many people felt about the young Elvis versus the Vegas Elvis.
Our country is facing some monumental problems. Our leaders for the most part are at war. What we have to do is decide what kind of country we want to be. A young Elvis, or the Vegas Elvis?

Vidyo demos HD videoconferencing on Apple's new iPad
Think the videoconferencing industry was going to let an opportunity to take advantage of Apple's new iPad high-resolution screen slip past? Think again.
Startup Vidyo this week demoed what its service looks like on the latest tablet from Apple, highlighting low-latency, multipoint video conferencing with 3 mega pixel content sharing over a 4G LTE network connection.
Vidyo will be demonstrating the app running on the new iPad at Enterprise Connect in Orlando, Booth #631, from March 26 to March 28.
"VidyoMobile on the new iPad provides a highly compelling user experience for the enterprise video conferencing customer," said Ofer Shapiro, CEO and co-founder of Vidyo. "The 2047 x 1536 pixel display allows us to provide a level of HD videoconferencing resolution never before seen on a tablet device, including 3 mega pixel application sharing capability, allowing Vidyo to unlock and expand new applications and usage models."
The tablet, he said, could lead the way for even more widespread adoption of videoconferencing among enterprise customers, a segment that analysts say is likely to aggressively move into the technology over the next year.
The company, which is nipping at the heels of more established players in the space like Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) and Polycom (Nasdaq: PLCM) with its unique videoconferencing architecture, has pushed its mobile play hard over the past several months, and has some significant wins in the telemedicine segment as well as with enterprises and SMBs.

This is Mark Hurling, a lifter who hangs out on the Rippetoe Geezer Forum. This is him deadlifting 425 pounds. He's 62 years old.
I hope someday to hit 400, but I doubt I'll get there. I took a shot at 250# a few days ago, and got it knee high off the ground, but then dropped it.
And now I have a minor groin pull. I hate getting older.

Consumer Spending Rose By Most In 3 Months Driven By Higher Energy Costs
For the third month in a row, personal spending missed Bloomberg's median expectation. However, as incomes rose 0.4% in June so spending also rose 0.4% - its best MoM rise in 3 months. The biggest MoM rise was in energy goods and services (+1.67% MoM - the biggest rise this year) - hardly the things sustainable recoveries are built on.
The personal savings rate was flat MoM at 5.3% - the same 'peak' level it hit in the middle of 2013.

Yes, costs which sustain human life are counted as spending expansion.
All we need is a pandemic disease which will make us increase medical spending by 20% which would expand consumer spending and GDP by 20%
Let's do it
In one day. I thought we were so broke that.......
Long Visa
OK You want a pandemic, we got EBOLA. Spread it in a major US airport and look out. Coming to a neighborhood near you.
if inflation is too "hot", its noise. if its less than some econ PhD monkey's goal, we need to print. thats the US in a nutshell.
Food and energy is just noise, its all about tv sales.
This should be good for DOW +1000 today
Nothing says no inflation like spending more for the same.
Fagflation. (rising prices but the fed is too gay to raise rates, not that there is anything wrong with that)
That's would be in harmony with the gay family in the Dark House.
Who the hell writes this kind of shit: " "In addition, the economy today is very close to achieving the central tendency outcomes for 2015 reported in the December 2013 Summary of Economic Projections." Except some giant foreheaded overintellect MBABOY named Plosssssser.
"Volatile food and energy prices" are left out of the CPI calculation, why are they included in personal spending?
Energy expenses are less discretionary than debt payments.
They eye of the hurricane has passed. Hold on tight, here come the winds again!
Consumer spending is up because I finally got that greeter job at Wallyworld so I went out and bought a big supply of adult diapers. Just in case of a barakoclypse.

I would like to address the comment made by (Craven County Board of Commissioners) Chairman Scott Dacey in the Havelock News June 20 about taxpayers paying for seniors to "socialize" at congregate meal sites.
These seniors are also taxpayers and probably have paid taxes longer than he has. He also needs to read the Older Americans Act. Under the nutrition section, it states "the elderly nutrition program provides meals and socialization to older people in congregate settings." This is an opportunity for seniors to have a nutritional meal and promote socialization as the program is intended. Socialization is as important as the meal.
Mr. Dacey should remember one day he will be a senior and might appreciate the chance to socialize.
I am a taxpayer and a senior.

Palliative Care Services at Unity Hospital
Palliative care is designed to help patients and their families deal with the numerous challenges brought on by serious illness. It can be helpful to patients who are having a difficult time managing their symptoms and can help improve their quality of life. Unity Hospital's Palliative Care Services are focused on caring for the whole patient: we help to ease the pain and stress of the patient's body, mind, and spirit.
When is palliative care appropriate?
Unlike hospice, palliative care can be delivered at any stage of an illness and alongside conventional treatments that are meant to cure the patient. Palliative care is appropriate for patients of any age and at any point during an illness— whatever the diagnosis or prognosis may be. Many of our patients are affected by advanced diseases, from cancer and heart disease to lung and kidney disease to neurological illnesses.
The benefits of palliative care
Our palliative care providers can:
• Help control the patient's pain and other symptoms, such as breathlessness, nausea, fatigue, anxiety, and depression
• Assist with tough medical decisions by clarifying choices, providing emotional support, and coordinating the recommendations of specialists
• Assist in arranging for services after the patient's discharge to maximize their independence, dignity, and quality of life
• Identify whether hospice care is an appropriate option
The Palliative Care core team members are:

Mission Statement
The mission of the Palliative Care team at Unity Hospital is to make a positive difference in the health and well-being of patients and families with serious and/or life-limiting illness by providing compassionate care of the body, mind, and spirit.

Tired and dying, Harmon Killebrew sat transfixed in the Miracle League dugout.
A nurse repeatedly asked if he wanted to get back in his wheelchair, if he wanted to go home and rest. The former Twins slugger shook his head.
"No, I want to watch this," he said.
In front of him, Killebrew witnessed disabled children playing on their own field of dreams. They were liberated by the joy of baseball and the euphoria of feeling completely normal. In the stands, parents were weeping with relief.
A miracle was taking place, just as advertised.
"Harmon had a saying: 'All kids should be able to play baseball,'" said Lee Klein, President of the Miracle League of Arizona. "And the last thing Harmon did was sit in that dugout, watching it all happen."
The miracle works like this: Every year, more than 100 children and adults with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, neuropathy, lung disease and other ailments show up at the Miracle League facility in north Scottsdale. They join their teammates and coaches. They wear the uniform.
They are introduced to a cheering crowd. Their favorite song plays as they approach home plate, just like at Chase Field. Some need walkers. Others are in wheelchairs. Some hit off a tee. Others hit underhanded pitching. Some need help swinging the bat.
They all have designated "buddies" who help them get around the bases.
And if you could their faces when they cross home plate. …
"Most special-needs children, especially the young ones, have a hard time finding camaraderie," Klein said. "When they come here, they have teammates. They have people giving them high-fives. They're seeing people standing up and clapping for them. Many are hearing applause for the first time in their lives. Not only is it a wonderful thing for them, but for their parents as well."
The Miracle League came to Arizona after pitcher Dan Haren was traded to the Diamondbacks in 2007. Haren's father, Dan Sr., was a 33-year veteran of community service and had seen a similar operation in Georgia. He brought the idea to the Diamondbacks, who promptly donated $400,000 to the cause.
Soon, Killebrew became involved. They raised enough money to build a spectacular $2 million stadium with clubhouses, showers and a rubberized turf field that accommodates wheelchairs and other devices.
At first glance, you'd think the stadium was a testament to Scottsdale affluence and overprivileged children. Nothing could be further from the truth.
"When we dedicated the field, I remember the number of kids that were out there and how they were able to forget their challenges and troubles they had in their lives," Diamondbacks President Derrick Hall said. "That's what this league is all about. It's a chance for those kids to feel normal. We couldn't be more proud of our affiliation with the Miracle League."
There are countless tales of inspiration. Klein said one boy was so debilitated that he was never expected to leave his wheelchair. That changed when he suddenly stood up at third base, and made his way to home plate.
Another boy was hospitalized on a Friday night. He told his doctor that he had to leave, that he was playing baseball the following morning. The doctor told the boy he was too weak. The child persisted, telling the doctor, "I'm a tough boy."
He showed up at the field the following morning.
"Doctors have told us that we've done what they cannot," Klein said. "We're proud to say we see miracles like this every week."
Then there's Cole Ludwig, who is about to turn 7. He was born with half of a heart. He's endured three open-heart surgeries. He's been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. He has been hospitalized three times this year for epileptic seizures. He is bound to a wheelchair.
But his father, Troy, always wanted his son to play baseball. And when he found the Miracle League, little Cole was smitten.
"It's had a huge effect on him," said his mother, Yvonne. "This has given him something that is not a doctor's appointment, something that is not a therapy session. This gives him his own little independence, his own identity.
"He's normally not very open to new things or new people, but we get to the baseball field and he just opens up completely. I don't know whether it's the cheering or the camaraderie. It's hard to explain. But the Miracle League has helped him grow in so many ways."
In season, Cole plays twice a week, with his family commuting from Queen Creek. On Saturday mornings, he's known to wake up his parents at 5a.m., just like a kid at Christmas. Early in his career, his coaches noticed that Cole was so competitive that he never wanted to stop at any of the bases. They obliged.
Today, he is known as the home-run king of the Miracle League. His mom says he has a streak of 140 consecutive home runs, and the rewards go both ways.
Once, Cole crossed home plate and handed Klein a check for $1,057, money he raised selling candy bars in his spare time.
"With everything we've been faced with, you learn to be grateful for everything you get. You learn that life is what you make of it," Yvonne said. "But when you get to see these kids having fun and running around the bases, parents get to experience as much normalcy as you can. It's very emotional."
Klein hopes to expand the Miracle League to other parts of the Valley. His organization says there are 17,000 special-needs children registered in Maricopa County, and likely as many who are not in the system.
Either way, Killebrew would be proud. Eleven days after sitting in a dugout now named in his honor, he died from esophageal cancer. But not before watching his dream come true: a world where every child gets a chance to play baseball.
You might even catch a miracle or two.

Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant was on hand at the Temple Theater tonight for the first Mississippi Jamboree.
His brother, Larry, is in the Pearl River band which is putting on a Grand Ole Opry styled show. The show featured favorite country hits, as well as celebrity impersonators for Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Patsy Cline. The governor told us he was glad to be there to support his brother.
"We're bringing it to Meridian, Mississippi to make sure we keep the concept, the idea of Jimmie Rodgers, to make sure folks can come and listen to some old time country music."
The Mississippi Jamboree will now be held on the first Saturday of each month at the Temple Theater.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: goodroi
We're experiencing a problem of metadata/metatags in the web search results. The metadata of new urls are not being updated during the search results. Search engines are showing the even wrong metadata/metatags for very old urls (two year old), which were correct two months ago. The worst part is, if you will see the source view for those pages, the meta title, meta description and meta keywords are well according to what we specified. Butsearch engines are showing some different metadata for that urls.
Hundreds of urls are out of date in case of metatags. I normally wait one month to get index the correct metatdata for new urls, but after passed two months, I didn't see any change.
Can I ask why search engines are showing this wrong information? Please let me know your suggestions and recommendation in this case. We are continuously updating the metadata for our pages, but search engine is not updating it.
Thanks for your earlier response.

If you will use the operator (Site:yoursitename.com) in searh engine, you will get the meta data, which you specified on your pages. I agree that meta description beased on the user query, but title remain the same or some times it break. And this is not a case of one url, hundred of urls are victom with this problem. I've putted this question on different forums and talking to Yahoo, Bing but didn't get the proper answer. This is not as easy it looks.

What Could Pick No. 24 Get The Thunder?
Many Thunder fans are probably still recovering from a post-playoff hangover.
But the NBA Draft is now just three weeks away, and if we've learned anything about the Thunder on draft night it's that it is a team liable to do anything. No one knows whether the Thunder will select a player, trade up, trade down or trade out.
Add to that, fewer fans seem to be paying attention this year. A deep playoff run and first-round positioning that inspires widespread yawning have taken away from the intrigue of the Thunder's draft. Perhaps there is a growing awareness that whatever prospect the Thunder plucks won't make an immediate impact. Heck, he might not even make the team. That's what having a stable of young talent in place and possession of the 24th overall pick gets you.
But draft guru Chad Ford of ESPN.com held a chat today and wrote something very interesting. (Worth noting, though, that the words 'Oklahoma City' and 'Thunder' weren't written anywhere in his hour long chat? Further proof that the Thunder is on the back-burner in this year's draft.) Ford broke down the depth of this year's class, and indirectly said the Thunder is in prime position to get a quality player. When asked about the draft seemingly being weak at the top but deep toward the end of the first round, Ford responded with this:
For sure. I think people misunderstand the criticism of the draft. The top two picks are really good … but they aren't superstar caliber. The next 10 players in the draft are typically the sorts of players you get in the late lottery to mid first round. But after that, the draft is really loaded into the mid to late 30s. If I'm drafting anywhere between 15-35, I'm happy with the draft."
Not saying Ford's say should be taken as gospel. But that's got to make Thunder fans feel pretty good, no?
If Oklahoma City stands pat, it's sounds like the Thunder, at 24, can land a serviceable player with potential to grow into something special. That 24 range is where sleepers usually rest, and the Thunder could very well come away with the next great steal. A few of the more notable recent 24th overall picks include Serge Ibaka in 2008,Rudy Fernandez in 2007, Kyle Lowry in 2006, Delonte West in 2004 and Nenad Krstic in 2002.
Other players recently picked in the 25 to 30 range include Taj Gibson, Nicolas Batum, George Hill, Aaron Brooks, Shannon Brown, Jason Maxiell, David Lee, Tony Allen, Kevin Martin, Beno Udrih, Kendrick Perkins, Leandro Barbosa and Josh Howard and John Salmons.
So, historically, there's clearly been plenty of talent to choose from in the 24 spot.
In its latest mock draft, NBADraft.net currently has the Thunder selecting UCLA swingman Tyler Honeycutt. The website DraftExpress.com currently has the Thunder selecting Duke forward Kyle Singler. And in his latest mock, Ford has the Thunder taking Serbian forward Nikola Mirotic in a select-and-stash strategy.
None of those names are likely to get you all that excited. But maybe one of them, or someone else in that cluster will prove to be effective.
