Soybean diseases to watch for
By TOM J. BECHMAN
Soybean diseases that max out in a cool, wet year thrived in 2009. Even farmers with 30-inch soybean rows battled white mold, and that's not supposed to happen. However, the disease challenges you face in soybeans in 2010 could be different.
The Indiana Certified Crop Advisers panel explains how to prepare for 2010. The panel includes Greg Kneubuhler, G & K Concepts Inc., Harlan; Jeff Nagel with Ceres Solutions, Lafayette; and Darrell Shemwell, branch manager for the Poseyville branch of the Posey County Co-op.
Which soybean diseases overwinter here? Which ones are always a threat? Would a cold winter reduce severity of diseases?
KNEUBUHLER: Most soybean diseases either overwinter in soybean residue or soil. A comprehensive and integrated disease management program should include use of adapted, disease-resistant varieties (when available), high-quality, disease-free seed, a well-drained, fertile seedbed and crop rotations. It should also include balanced soil fertility and proper soil reaction (pH), plus control of fungi, insects and weeds. Cold winters typically don't reduce severity of diseases.
NAGEL: Whether a disease develops in any given year is based on growing a susceptible crop, having the pathogen present in the field, and getting the right environmental conditions.
Seed and seedling blights that overwinter in residue and/or soil include phytophthora, pythium, fusarium and rhizoctonia. Fungicide seed treatments help protect the seed and the early seedling stage, allowing better stand establishment.
Select varieties with Rps resistance genes and high field tolerance if phytophthora is a concern. To reduce the impact of sudden death syndrome, select varieties with good SDS tolerance coupled with soybean cyst nematode resistance.
White mold is managed by variety selection, seeding rates and row spacing. Apply foliar fungicides at flowering if necessary.
SHEMWELL: The problem with diseases like white mold and brown stem rot is that what causes them can exist in the soil for several years. White mold is also called sclerotinia stem rot. It produces bodies called sclerotia that can survive as long as seven years. The organism that causes brown stem rot can last as long as three to five years.
2009 an unusual year for diseases hitting soybeans
Sudden death syndrome was first detected in Indiana in southwestern counties more than 20 years ago. However, Chuck Mansfield says that while he saw a few fields hit hard by SDS last year, the disease probably didn't cause significant damage in most southwestern Indiana fields.
Mansfield is a Purdue University Extension agronomist based at Vincennes. "The disease came in rather late," he says. "That probably helped."
The same wasn't true everywhere. A Morgan County farmer saw SDS come in so early that seed reps questioned if it was SDS — until they saw it. What stood out on this farm, he notes, was wide variation in how varieties withstood SDS pressure.
Mansfield saw tons of aphids in September, an extremely unusual sighting in southwest Indiana. And he also saw a fair amount of purple seed stain, a longtime minor disease that tends to hang around. "It's a seed-borne disease," he notes. Since it also survives in residue, it can reappear year after year.

There is a great likelihood that Southampton will receive some snowfall by Monday night — in fact, snow is in the forecast all week, according to the National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service states that there is a chance of snow showers in the Southampton area mainly after 3 p.m. Monday, with the high temperature reaching only 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
The likelihood of snowfall grows during the night, with a 70 percent chance of precipitation, as the temperature dips to around 25 degrees. There could be as much as 3 and a half inches of snow on the ground before Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service warns that there could be hazardous weather conditions on eastern Long Island roads during the week.
Snow showers may continue on Tuesday morning, and the National Weather Service's seven-day forecast states that snow is possible, but not likely, on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday may bring both snow and rain.

The Clark Kicks off New Season of The Met: Live in HD with Eugene Onegin
For Immediate Release
September 23, 2013
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA—A new season of live opera, broadcast from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, begins at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute on Saturday, October 5 at 12:55 pm with the airing of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin. Tickets are $25 ($22 members, $18 students). To purchase tickets, visit clarkart.edu or call 413 458 0524. The complete 2013–14 Met: Live in HD schedule is also available on the Clark's website.
The three-act production of Eugene Onegin, which closely follows the novel of the same name by Alexander Pushkin, was first performed in Moscow in 1879. It premiered in the United States in 1920 at the Metropolitan Opera.
In Deborah Warner's new production of the fateful romance, Anna Netrebko and Mariusz Kwiecien star as the lovestruck Tatiana and the imperious Onegin; Piotr Beczala is Lenski, Onegin's friend turned rival. Set in the late nineteenth century, the opera moves episodically from farmhouse to ballroom, with a powerful snowstorm providing the dramatic setting for the finale. Russian maestro Valery Gergiev conducts.
Approximate running time is 244 minutes.
Due to the construction activity and limited parking at the Clark, visitors should plan to arrive twenty minutes before the performance.

The Genealogist's Psalm
Genealogy is my pastime; I shall not stray.
It maketh me to lie down and examine half-buried tombstones;
It leadeth me into still courthouses.
It restoreth my ancestral knowledge.
It leadeth me into paths of census records and ship passenger lists for my Surname's sake.
Yea, though I wade through the shadows of research libraries and microfilm readers, I shall fear no discouragement, for a strong urge is with me.
The curiosity and motivation, they comfort me.
It demandeth the preparation of storage space; for the acquisition of countless documents.
It annointeth my head with burning midnight oil;
My family group sheets runneth over.
Surely, birth, marriage and death dates shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the House of Family History Seeker forever.

By: Johnny Canuck
On May 13, the University of Calgary plans to open their new School of Public Policy with an opening gala at which the guest of honour is Condoleezza Rice. Rice has emerged as a central figure in the developing US torture and war crimes scandal. "This is your baby. Go do it," Rice is reported to have said authorizing waterboarding by CIA.
Regrettably there has been little protest from the academic community in Canada, or the national student organizations who have been aware of Rice's invitation since early March. The Director of the School of Public Policy, Jack Mintz told the Calgary Herald on March 11, that: "She's a good example of what a school of public policy can achieve."
Please assist those at the University of Calgary who oppose this outrageous sanctioning of torture and war crimes by the school. Write to both Director Mintz and University President Harvey P Weingarten, asking that they cancel Rice's visit:
University of Calgary President Harvey Weingarten: Email: email@example.com

Hi: This was sent by a longtime Middle East activist Bill Thomson of the University of Michigan. He said that there is a concerted effort to make one of the first orders of business in the new Congress a resolution supporting israel. Please be in touch with your Congressional representatives to try to head this off. What a ghastly way that would be to start this new Congress. Thanks. Peace. Richard Walton, RI.
In <firstname.lastname@example.com>, on 01/05/09 at 01:43 PM,
Bill Thomson said:
I have just received the following:
"A concerted effort is under way requesting that members of Congress issue statements supporting Israel's right to "defend its citizens against terrorism" by continuing its military action in Gaza. It is likely that legislation in this vein will emerge shortly after Congress convenes on January 6."
>We may be certain that AIPAC and its allies will be pushing this hard.
Please immediately call your House member and Senators and urge them to oppose this resolution and issue a statement condemning the disproportionate Israeli actions against the citizens of Gaza.
You may contact your Representative and Senators in Congress at 202-224-3121 or find contact info for your Members of Congress at: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/dbq/officials/

Speak out against preemptive pardons and help restore the American values of justice and due process. Send a message to President Bush telling him you oppose preemptive pardons for these people and any others who may have been involved in torture.
Dick Cheney:
Vice president who orchestrated the use of torture, secret prisons and detention without charge.
John Yoo:
Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel authored memos that tried to provide a legal basis for the torture and abuse of prisoners in U.S. custody.
Alberto Gonzales:
Former White House Counsel, chaired discussions about authorizing specific forms of torture and abuse, urged Bush not to apply Geneva Conventions to many detainees.
Condoleeza Rice:
Chaired the National Security Council meetings reportedly authorizing specific forms of abuse on specific prisoners.
David Addington:
Former counsel to Cheney had central role in developing the torture, abuse, and detention without charge policies.
Donald Rumsfeld:
Former Secretary of Defense authorized the use of abusive interrogation methods at Guantánamo Bay Naval Base.
Geoffrey D. Miller:
US General who oversaw Guantánamo Bay Naval Base when prisoners were abused and tortured there, and traveled to Iraq to oversee the
"Gitmoization" of Abu Ghraib.
John Ashcroft: Reportedly participated in National Security Council meetings authorizing specific forms of abuse on specific prisoners and approved Office of Legal Counsel torture memoranda.
George Tenet:
Director of the CIA oversaw the extraordinary rendition program as well as the abusive interrogation methods, including waterboarding, by CIA officials.
William Haynes:
General Counsel at the Defense Department, signed off on the use of abusive interrogation methods by DoD personnel.
When asked by ABC host George Stephanopoulos if top level Bush administration officials would be prosecuted for mandating prisoner abuse, Biden said that he and Obama would be "focusing on the future," adding "I think we should be looking forward, not backwards."
So, the Obama administration says: "we should be looking forward not backwards", and we should close our eyes to mass murder and war crimes.
Friends, don't for one second believe that the Bush administration should go unpunished for war crimes. They have killed over 1.44 million Iraqi men, women, and children, and grossly violated the Geneva Conventions through the use of torture and mass murder on a grand scale.
They established a network of secret CIA prisons around the world, along with 17 prison ships where untold horrors were committed in America's name.
There are tens of thousands of Iraqi men, women, and children presently held in concentration camps by the US. They have been subjected to severe emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Those that still cling to life desperately await freedom and justice.
The Bush administration used banned weapons such as cluster bombs and white phosphorus on civilians and they have spread over 1000 metric tons of the deadly U238-isotope, America's nuclear waste, over Iraq and Afghanistan, causing childhood leukemia and spontaneous abortions to become commonplace, dooming the people of both countries to endless suffering and premature death.
In a world where war criminals and mass murderers are allowed to go unpunished there will surely be more wars based on lies fought for profit and there will be more war crimes committed by dictators and politicians. They are emboldened by a weak immoral fearful citizenry unwilling to hold them accountable for their crimes.
Speak out against preemptive pardons and help restore the American values of justice and due process. Send a message to President Bush telling him you oppose preemptive pardons for these people and any others who may have been involved in torture.

Update: Bell Canada and TELUS (formerly owned by Verizon) employees officially confirm that by 2012 ISP's all over the globe will reduce Internet access to a TV-like subscription model, only offering access to a small standard amount of commercial sites and require extra fees for every other site you visit. These 'other' sites would then lose all their exposure and eventually shut down, resulting in what could be seen as the end of the Internet.
Dylan Pattyn *, who is currently writing an article for Time Magazine on the issue, has official confirmation from sources within Bell Canada and is interviewing a marketing representative from TELUS who confirms the story and states that TELUS has already started blocking all websites that aren't in the subscription package for mobile Internet access. They could not confirm whether it would happen in 2012 because both stated it may actually happen sooner (as early as 2010). Interviews with these sources, more confirmation from other sources and more in-depth information on the issue is set to be published in Time Magazine soon.
The reason why we're releasing this information is because we believe we can stop it. More awareness means more mainstream media shedding light on it, more political interest and more pressure on the ISP's to keep the Internet an open free space. We started this social network as a platform for Internet activism where we can join forces, share ideas and organize any form of protest that may have an impact. If we want to make a difference in this, we have to join together and stand united as one powerful voice against it.
Don't let the Internet degenerate to this:

June 6, 2011
It goes without saying that Shaquille O'Neal was one of those rare athletes that transcended the game he played. He wasn't the most dominant as some have called him lately – that title clearly belongs to Wilt Chamberlain, who averaged more than 50 points and 25 rebounds per game in the 1961-62 season and more than 30 points and 20 rebounds per game for his career. But Shaq (like Wilt) was larger than life, which is why no single article will do him justice.
So with that, I give you the top ten things I'll remember about the Diesel.
10. Shaq Signs Exclusive Deal with Classic Trading Cards
Shaq was a trendsetter and had one of the first exclusive trading card deals in history. Classic, an upstart company back in the early 1990s, made one of the biggest splashes in history by signing O'Neal to an exclusive card deal, owning the right to print his first rookie cards. Sure, go ahead and scoff if you want. But his deal was enormous for the industry as it led to other companies signing exclusive deals with athletes.
9. Literally a Showstopper
O'Neal didn't only break a few backboards when he dunked early in his career, but he literally tore down the entire support systems. This, of course, delayed play while the systems were fixed or replaced. Shaq was one of the few players that forced the NBA to look into reinforcing their backboards.
8. Shaq Raps
No, the Diesel's abilities weren't limited to only the basketball court. He was also a great rapper. Okay, well, maybe not. But his debut Album 'Shaq Diesel' still went platinum, which gives him exactly one more platinum record than almost everyone on the planet.
7. Leading Magic to Finals
O'Neal was only in his third season when he led the Magic to the Finals. He didn't just help them get there, he was the clear star of the team. With all due respect to Penny Hardaway, Dennis Scott, Horace Grant, and Nick Anderson, the Magic probably don't get out of the first round without the Diesel. Orlando was swept by the Houston Rockets, but it wasn't because of Shaq, who averaged 28 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists per game.
6. Passed over for Christian Laettner
The decision to take Christian Laettner over O'Neal for the final spot on the 1992 USA Olympic Dream Team had about as much impact on the outcome as it would if I were selected. Lots of factors played into the decision – Laettner was a senior with two NCAA titles for starters. Still, it was a big-time snub nonetheless and Shaq wasn't all that happy about it.
5. Taking Heat to the Title
Make no mistake – the 2005-06 Miami Heat were Dwyane Wade's team. But it's fair to say that without O'Neal's nearly 20 points and 10 rebounds every night, Miami would still be looking for their first title. Shaq also proved to the world he could win a championship without Kobe and his fourth title placed him in select company.
4. Kobe Feud
Okay, let's get this out of the way. If Kobe and Shaq stay together, it's likely that they would have gone on to win several more titles. The feud will always be one of the first things fans think of when reminiscing about Shaq. O'Neal wouldn't have been able to run down Bill Russell's 11 championships, but Kobe is young enough that it's conceivable that he could have gotten close.
3. Signs with Lakers
The rumors swelled in the Summer of 1996 about what Shaq would do. He eventually chose to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers and effectively began a mini dynasty, helping the franchise to three titles. His signing filled the gap left by Vlade Divac, who was traded to the then Charlotte Hornets for … Kobe Bryant. That effectively concluded the most lopsided deal in NBA history.
2. Leading Lakers to Three-Peat
O'Neal began the Lakers' Dynasty by helping the franchise to three straight championships. Whatever side you fall on of the great Shaq vs. Kobe debate, none of those titles are won without O'Neal, who won the Finals Most Valuable Player award each year.
1. Pythagorean Theorem
There have been countless memorable quotes over Shaq's career, but none will ever top the time he tried to describe just how unguardable he was. An exacerbated O'Neal said his game was like the Pythagorean Theorem, claiming there was no answer. The only problem with that is there actually is an answer to the Theorem: A2 + B2 = C2.
It's okay, Shaq – we get the point.

Now the top grossing animation of all time, there seems to be no stopping the Frozen craze.

From directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee who have credits in their résumé that range from Tarzan to Wreck-It Ralph, the film was always in good hands. Pair them with a cast including A-lister Kristen Bell and a number of ... Read More

Deception IV: Blood TiesSunday, 20 April 2014
Back in 1996 Tecmo released Deception: Invitation to Darkness, a exclusive PlayStation title that despite causing a bit of controversy and also being a pretty fun game, didn't take off like some of Tecmo's better known titles. That said, it did find itself a loyal fan base, a fan base that ultimately allowed Tecmo to develop two sequels and a spin-off, Trapt. Though slightly different in a number of ways, Trapt remained the most recent entry in the series up until now. But instead of giving ... Read More
Kinect Sports RivalsFriday, 18 April 2014
Motion controlled gaming is nothing new, and stretches back past even what the Wii brought to the table in 2006. Once Nintendo began to dominate the market, Sony and Microsoft scrambled to tap into the "casual" market, a market that they hoped would bring in the big bucks. Sony aimed to deliver with the PlayStation Move, which was essentially two advanced Wii remotes. Microsoft however tried something a little more daring, and in 2010 came the Kinect; a motion controlled device that told ... Read More

Warning: The following contains spoilers for inFamous 2.When Sucker Punch Productions released inFamous for the PS3 in 2009, it took everyone a little by surprise. Keep in mind that Sucker Punch Productions were the team behind the classic Sly Cooper series, so on the surface a game like inFamous seemed a little out of their comfort zone. But upon playing inFamous all the doubters were proven wrong, and their first attempt at the superhero genre was hugely successful. A sequel followed, that ... Read More

The Hobbit: The Desolation of SmaugWednesday, 16 April 2014
Peter Jackson has done it again. Not only has he brought a decades old novel to the silver screen but he's given it such life, such character and such vision that you can really believe in it. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was arguably some of the finest film-making in modern history and at the same time remain faithful to its source material. Such was the effect of the trilogy, that it was only a matter of time before Jackson turned his attentions to the more light-hearted novel that J.R.R. ... Read More

You know those films that are "so bad they're good"? Troll 2, Samurai Cop, Battlefield Earth, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Star Crash and many more fall into this category. And I love them! Sometimes there's nothing better than sitting back with some friends and watching a film so bad, so utterly dreadful, that it's just completely hilarious.

I Feel bad for Nintendo. I mean, the Wii U as of right now is selling worse than the Dreamcast did. That's not good at all. Don't get me wrong, the Dreamcast deserved far more attention than it ultimately got, and the Wii U is nowhere near as glorious as Sega's final console, but Nintendo's latest effort is a great little machine. But Nintendo, unlike many other companies, can afford to screw up here. Why? Because the Nintendo 3DS is selling so damn well, only being outsold worldwide by the ... Read More

As they do every week, MLSsoccer.com's Dan Haiek and Matt Doyle give their view on Sunday's clash between the Fire and Dynamo...
You already watched Daniel Paladini and Wells Thompson preview Sunday's match-up versus the Houston Dynamo. You've also seen Assistant Coach Mike Matkovich talk tactics in the AthletiCo Coaching Corner.
Now check out how Dominic Kinnear and his side look at the Fire.
After picking up their first win of the season last week, the Fire travel to Houston for Sunday's match (4pm CT on UniMas/La Ley 107.9FM) brimming with confidence. The Dynamo lost again on the road last week against Portland but are returning to BBBV Compass Stadium, a place where they have never lost. Here are a few things to look out for from a tactical perspective:
Giles Barnes – excelling in the role of second striker and deceptively good in the air
Giles Barnes has had an excellent start to 2013, playing in an almost free role just behind the target striker. Barnes is dangerous in a number of areas: he can drop deep or wide with the ball, taking on defenders, he can also win flicks on to his strike partner and he has come up with two headed goals already this season.
AthletiCo Coaching Corner
Against Portland last week and San Jose the week before, Barnes linked up well with central midfielders Adam Moffat and Ricardo Clark, taking the ball from them before turning and running at defenders from deep or around the box.
In the air, Barnes won many dangerous flick-ons against San Jose in Houston's last home match. Barnes' ability to win balls in the air seemed to baffle San Jose, who were clearly anticipating him to be running onto the flicks by Will Bruin.
In the matches against San Jose and the week before against Vancouver, Barnes chipped in with two headed goals. When teams play Houston, it is easy to get distracted by players such as Brad Davis or Boniek Garcia but Barnes has been their most dangerous player this season.
The Fire cannot give him space on the ground and players like Austin Berry need to match Barnes in the air.
The possible return of Arne – if he returns, who moves to the bench?
Much of the talk this week in the Fire camp is the potential return of Arne Friedrich to a Fire back line that has been decimated by injuries at the beginning of the season.
Though everyone is looking forward to Arne's return, it brings up a very tough tactical decision for head coach Frank Klopas, namely who plays at right back.
Wells Thompson has done a very solid job over the past two matches in that position, improving from a shaky first half against Chivas to having a standout game in last week's win against NYRB.
Wells stated this week that he would like to "lock the down the spot and become a regular starter" and he certainly has put forth a good case to the coaches.
Thompson's distribution out of the back is excellent and as the away team this week, the Fire will be looking to hold onto the ball for as long as possible and not be wasteful in possession.
Paladini, Thompson Preview Houston
The other realistic candidate for the starting right back spot should Friedrich return is Jalil Anibaba, last season's starter. Against a physical and big team like Houston, Jalil's strength could be needed.
Anibaba is also excellent in the air and with players like Barnes and Bruin to contend with, Klopas may turn to the third-year defender.
Houston's knack for scoring goals from set pieces is also well-known and Anibaba's presence in the box could be all-important on Sunday afternoon.
The Dynamo's frequency of scoring from corners is such that the home fans get to their feet for every corner, expecting a goal or good chance to be created from each one.
Though there was a lot of talk about Logan Pause moving to right-back at the beginning of this season, I don't see the Fire changing too much the in the midfield after last week's performance.
A start for Jalil at right back would be tough on Wells Thompson after two great performances, but tactically, starting Anibaba would make the most sense.
Prediction: 1-1 with the Fire goal coming from Sherjill MacDonald

Maicon Santos' 83rd minute goal on Sunday was big for more than one reason. Yes it was the game-winner. Yes it got the 899 minute scoreless monkey off his back but it also stands as the 700th regular season goal in Chicago Fire history.

A quick update on the injury front for Sunday's game vs. New York...
MLSsoccer.com's Franco Panizio reports that forward Fabian Espindola, who has been listed as questionable all week with a hamstring strain, will not be traveling to Chicago for Sunday's game.
Espindola also missed Red Bull's 2-1 win over Philadelphia last week.
Panizio also reports that frontline partner Thierry Henry will be part of the 18, though he seems likely to come off the bench for the second-straight week.
Also listed as questionable in recovery from an MCL strain, the Frenchman played 31 minutes and scored the game-winner in his team's victory over the Union.
On the Fire front, the latest Athletico Injury Report released Friday saw Michael Videira and Steven Kinney removed from the list, though both have been out of action for multiple weeks.
The Fire will be thin in midfield if questionable players Dilly Duka and Patrick Nyarko (hamstring tightness) and Alex (calf contusion) are unable to go on Sunday.
After another tough loss two weeks ago against Chivas USA, the Fire look to pick up their first win of the season against the Red Bulls on Sunday afternoon (4pm CT on ESPN2/La Ley 107.9FM). New York relied on a bit of Henry magic to pick up three points against Philly last week. Here are some things to look for from a tactical perspective:
Targeting Holgersson – get him in 1v1 situations
Anyone who has watched MLS over the past few seasons knows that Jamison Olave is one of the league's great defenders. One of Olave's great strengths is his recovery speed, something his partner Markus Holgersson doesn't possess. While Holgersson is very adept in the air, if the Fire can get him separated from Olave, it may open the Red Bulls up. The more times the Fire can get players like Chris Rolfe in 1v1 situations with the Swede, the better.
TICKETS: Fire vs. Red Bulls Sunday at 4pm CT
Pause, Lindpere Preview Red Bull
Holgersson also has a tendency to switch off at times, as was seen in the goals Red Bull gave up against Philly last week and against Montreal in a 1-0 loss earlier in the season. As is the case with Arne Friedrich for the Fire, Jamison Olave makes everyone around him better, but if the Fire manage to separate him from Holgersson, they must take advantage.
Stopping Juninho – stifling the deep lying playmaker
The 38-year-old Brazilian Juninho has excelled in the deep lying playmaker role for the Red Bulls so far this season. Juninho plays ahead of the back four and receives the ball from the defenders before starting the attacks from a very deep position.
His exceptional passing range means he can easily look to play the ball up to Dax McCarty through the middle, play it out to the wing, or look for a long ball up to Tim Cahill who is excellent in the air.
The Fire must try and make it difficult for Juninho to start the attacks, and the prime candidate for this role is the second striker, namely Rolfe or Alex (if he's available). In the second leg of the recent Champions League match between Manchester United and Real Madrid, United forward Danny Welbeck did a great job of stifling Madrid's deep lying playmaker Xabi Alonso and I look for Rolfe or Alex to try and emulate that on Sunday.
When the Fire lose the ball in the attacking third, someone must immediately look to pick up Juninho and try and make it difficult for the Red Bulls to play through him.
Athletico Coaching Corner with Matko
Helping out on the right – don't isolate the right back
Last game, Wells Thompson did a solid job filling in a right back, a position with little player consistency for the Fire due to injuries this season. Chivas USA did look dangerous however when the managed to get Wells in 1v1 situations, especially in the first half.
READ: Stopping Thierry Henry
With Logan Pause nearing fitness it may be the case that Pause slots in on the right with Wells moving ahead of him but in either case, the right midfielder must track back and help. The Red Bulls love to have Henry drift wide and the Fire must try and prevent him from getting in 1v1 situations at all costs.
Though many would argue the Red Bulls' weakest players are the wingers, outside defenders like Heath Pearce are not afraid to get forward and support in the attack. Red Bull's movement off the ball from players like McCarty and Henry make them a hard team to defend against.
Though the Fire are the home team, head coach Frank Klopas said that the number one goal for Sunday's match is keeping a clean sheet. With that in mind, a solid defensive effort from front to back is essential.
Prediction: 1-0 Fire with a goal from Sherjill MacDonald who looked to be almost back to his old self last weekend.

The Fire head back home Sunday afternoon after picking up a hard fought point in Kansas last weekend. Though the team didn't score for the third game in a row, the solid performance despite missing key players was encouraging. Sunday's opposition Chivas USA come to Bridgeview full of confidence after picking up four points in their last two games. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective on Sunday (Coverage at 3:30pm CT on My50)
High pressure - Chivas players will not stop running
El Chelís, the new Chivas coach, has his team playing a 3-4-3 system with an emphasis on pressuring the opposing team very high up the field. Anyone who has watched Barcelona under Pep Guardiola/Tito Vilanova or Athletic Club under Marcelo Bielsa knows that the high pressure tactic can be very effective, especially against an opponent who is not prepared for it.
Get Tickets for Sunday's game vs. Chivas USA
Chivas' three attacking players hound their opponents' defense and try to not allow them to play out of the back. This tactic will put a lot of pressure on suspected midfield starters Daniel Paladini and Jeff Larentowicz to drop deep and collect the ball from the defenders. The goal of the 3-4-3 with the high pressure is to try and win the ball back from your opponent as high up the pitch as possible.
A recent example of this tactic working to perfection was in Chivas' only win to date in week two against FC Dallas. The winning goal came from forcing the Dallas defensive midfielder into playing a suicide ball back to center back George John whose lax first touch allowed Oswaldo Minda to waltz in and score. With this tactic in mind, concentration and communication between the defense and the central midfielders will be very important Sunday.
Balls over the top/in behind - how to beat the 3-4-3
Previewing Chivas USA
The downside of Chivas 3-4-3 tactic is that it leaves a lot of space on the outside for the Fire to exploit. In Chivas' last two games against LA and Dallas, the wingers got caught too far up the field on multiple occasions, especially when the opposition was able to force a turnover and transition quickly into attack.
In recent games for the Fire, wingers Dilly Duka and Patrick Nyarko have been required to help out the defense but against Chivas they will find that space will be a lot easier to come by and should be looking to make forward runs into space whenever possible. The Fire must look for the long ball into space constantly because getting a ball in behind can really open Chivas up.
UPDATE: Duka listed as 'Questionable' for Sunday
When the Fire inevitably get a ball in behind, they must get more players into the box, especially against a three man back line. In Chivas' opening games, often times it was a defender who had to drift wide to pick up the runner, leaving less numbers and more space in the middle for the opposing team to exploit.
Fouls fouls and more fouls - Fire must stay calm and focused
In Chivas' last two games, they have committed a whopping 40 fouls, something that clearly frustrated their opponents. Part of the reason for that many fouls is the high pressure tactic, trying so frantically to win the ball back, leading oftentimes to a foul.
That being said, another key aspect of Chelís' tactics is to try and stop the other team from getting in any sort of rhythm. How do you do that? By fouling your opponent and slowing the game down, of course.
READ: Can Pause go at right back Sunday?
When a Chivas player is beaten by his man, the natural response is to foul the player. The LA/Dallas players and coaching staff were constantly yelling at the officials for the amount of fouls Chivas committed, but this frustration played right into Chivas' hands.
On the other side of the ball, when Chivas attack, they often look to pick up set pieces in their opponents half. Their players hit the deck when they feel the slightest bit of contact, another aspect of their game plan that can really get under the skin of the opponent. The Fire players and coaching staff must keep their cool, especially if the score line isn't to their liking, because despite their coaches claims to the contrary, Chivas would gladly leave Bridgeview with a point.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from Chris Rolfe and Dilly Duka.
Stephen Piggott is a contributor to Chicago-Fire.com. Follow him on Twitter @irish_steve
So if you're like me, you were watching Sunday's SuperClasico between LA and Chivas to get a better understanding of the Fire's upcoming opponents.
Around the 40th minute, you were sort of shocked to see the Goats Joaquin Velazquez sent off by referee Ricardo Salazar for this play…
If anything, Colin Clark could have received a card on the play but nonetheless, Chivas was forced to play the remaining 50 minutes a man down and still found away to earn a 1-1 draw against the reigning MLS Cup champs.
Flash forward to today and an Independent Review panel has rightly rescinded the red card and the one-game suspension that came along with it for this Sunday's match vs. the Fire.
This is the second time in MLS history that a red card has been rescinded. The New England Revolution's Fernando Cardenas saw his red card taken away after he was sent off in a 2-1 loss to Seattle last May.
What do you think? Is it good that the league is willing to rescind red cards when obvious mistakes are being made? Chime in below.
A nice reminder of June 29, 2012.

The great thing about Xbox Live Arcade is that you can pick up some nice little games that aren't too expensive by some good independent developers. The folks behind
Outpost Kaloki X
, Ninja Bee, have their second game out this time around with
Cloning Clyde
Cloning Clyde
is a side scrolling action/puzzle game in which you play Clyde and as the title suggests you've been cloned... a few times. Clyde's also not the brightest of the bunch as evident by the lure of $20 that leads him into his current predicament. Now it's your job to escape the 24+ levels and take a few of your clones with you.
As Clyde you'll run around each level trying to achieve the objective set forth so that you can continue on to the next obstacle. Clyde knows some kung fu, which comes in handy when he has to take out security robots that launch explosive chickens at you. Once you take out all the robots on the level, you may proceed to the next level as well as opening the way to rescue any clones on the current level. The premise is simple so anyone can really pick the game up and work their way through. It's this ease of play that should appeal to the casual gamers.
Scattered throughout the level are DNA strands that you can collect. Once enough has been picked up, you can unleash a nice little supermove to quickly take out targets. You don't necessarily need to pick them up but they do help a little to get by the level quicker. There are also some little action figures that can be collected for more points.
You'll also have the ability to clone yourself to solve the various puzzles when you come upon a cloning machine. Not only will you be able to make copies of yourself, but you'll also be able to mutate yourself into various forms. For example, your normal form can't swim well but transform into a mutant frog and you'll be able to traverse even the most lengthy water hazards. If there's a platform that you can't jump to, transforming a chicken can afford you to fly to the areas that were previously unreachable. You'll even be able to turn into a walking explosive barrel to take out enemies and obstacles. Once you mutate, you won't be able to mutate back or into another form. That's ok though as there's usually plenty of human Clydes for you to use should another form be needed to get to the goal. Cloned Clydes can also be dropped down from boxes so cloning isn't the only way you'll be able to find a few Clydes to use.
Clyde can also pick up objects such as rocks, animals, even other clones. For example, some puzzles need you to throw a chicken into a group of mines so that they'll explode and not hit you. Animal activist can calm down as this will in no way kill an animal but it is rather funny to see a featherless chicken waddle around after being used to set off a mine. And if you want to take out some aggressions, go ahead and pick up a chicken or a sheep and toss them around the level or give them a nice kick to send them flying.
With a few more of Clydes on the level, you'll have the ability to switch between them at will. Walls and other obstacles won't block your path when switching and some puzzles need you to switch to some Clydes that are on another side of a door or wall. You'll need to use the Clydes in some way to solve the puzzles presented to you. It could mean having a few Clydes stand on some buttons simultaneously or use one to launch another with a catapult. Once a level is completed, you'll have the opportunity to lead them to an escape hatch. It can become a little annoying if there are a good number of Clydes on a level to try and lead each one to the exit but thankfully you don't have to in order to finish the level. Leading the clones will just increase your score and also a certain amount is needed for an achievement but you'll never be forced to lead all or an X number of Clydes to the escape route.
Levels can also contain levers, trampolines, and rockets just to name a few other objects that you'll have to use to get by. Pull a lever and you might drop down an animal to transform into. Perhaps the lever will open a doorway for you to walk through. One of the funniest things you can do is jump in front of a rocket and watch Clyde get flown across the screen on the top of the rocket. There are other objects that can help Clyde and it's the variety that helps make each level unique and fun.
The graphics for
Cloning Clyde
are pretty humorous. When the main character walks around in a hospital gown with the back wide open, you can expect some pretty funny character designs though out. The game almost has claymation look to it. It's the cartoony feel that gives
Cloning Clyde
a unique look. I especially like how each of the mutations are rendered. It's not a game that will show off he power of the Xbox 360 but it's very clean and nicely designed.
You don't have to play the game alone as you can hop onto Xbox Live or play via split screen with a friend. Over the Internet, you can play with up to three others and I have to say it's a lot of fun working your way through the game with a few others. It also lowers the monotonous aspect of the game so you don't have to be responsible for rescuing the Clydes all by yourself. If you rather play against someone you can enter in an up to 4 players versus game where it's everyone for themselves or in teams. Playing cooperatively though was the highlight of this game for me and the ability to jump into a quick co-op game also makes it easy to do.
It's going to cost you 800 points ($10) but that's not too bad considering the original nature of the game and the fun that can be had playing with others online.
Cloning Clyde
is certainly a quirky platform puzzle game and it's not a bad little pickup on Xbox Live Arcade.

Most coastal residents and visitors to the Chesapeake, who observe commercial fishing activities on the bay and its rivers, assume this has been a common activity since the first colonists landed in the 17th century. Yet, commercial fishing in the Chesapeake region, notable for its long and somewhat colorful history, didn't actually begin for more than a century after the first colonists had arrived.
The availability of cheap, fertile land was more important to the early landless colonists and the necessity for a steady source of food and income independent of supply ships on the treacherous two month Atlantic crossing, proved vital to survival.
Still, early colonists did engage in fishing both for sport and subsistence. The Maryland Charter of 1632, granted to Lord Baltimore by Charles I, of England, guaranteed "… Fishings of every kind of Fish as well as Whales, Sturgeons and other royal Fish in the Sea, Bays, Straits, or Rivers, within the premises…" and "the Liberty of Fishing for Sea-Fish as well in the Sea, Bays, Straits and navigable rivers… of the Province aforesaid…" Household inventories from 900 southern Maryland homes of the 17th and early 18th centuries indicated that the most common fishing equipment used was nothing more than a simple hook and line. So at least during the 17th century and to a much lesser extent during the 18th century, seafood comprised a substantial part of the local diet. Archaeological records indicate that the hook-and-line bottom fishing yielded a variety of fish: black and red drum, sheepshead, striped bass, white perch, gar, catfish and sturgeon. Oysters and blue crabs were also consumed.
As the agrarian pursuits stabilized in the 18th century, a steady Atlantic and West Indies trade and the need to feed a burgeoning population brought about the early commercial fishing efforts. From humble beginnings in 1634 with about 150 colonists, the population of the Maryland colony had grown to 34,000 by 1700 and to 100,000 by 1740, with most living within walking distance of the Bay and its tributaries.
While the hook-and-line remained the most common form of fishing in the 18th century, some wealthy landowners began to employ haul seines. Among those using this method was George Washington, who by 1760 was using haul seines at his Mt. Vernon plantation. Here, as at other plantations around the Bay, shad and herring were taken by the seines with shad held for personal consumption and local sale and herring used to feed his slaves and for sale to the West Indies to feed those held on the sugar plantations. Herring, in particular, were preserved by salting and the quality and quantity of salt available to even the wealthiest colonists limited this fishery. The vagaries of the fishery, lack of quality salt and good nets and sale prices aggravated Washington and other wealthy plantation owners who operated commercial seine fisheries.
Through the mid- and late 19th century, commercial fishing rapidly expanded. Annual landings of 48 million pounds of shad and 2.6 million bushels of oysters were reported or estimated. In 1890, over 36 million pounds of finfish, exclusive of menhaden were caught as estimated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. By the end of the 19th century, landings were dropping rapidly. Even in colonial times, many recognized that some fishing practices needed regulation. Chesapeake fishery laws had been passed as early as the 17th century. In 1670, Virginia prohibited the obstruction of migrating fish and in 1760, the Maryland Assembly passed a bill to "prevent any making or repairing of any fish dams and pots on the River Susquehanna". But it wasn't until 1941 that limits were placed on the amount of licensed commercial fishing gear that could be used. Prior to this time, laws and regulations regulated seasons, size limits, the gear used and hatchery operation – none of which stopped the decline of the bay's fishery resources.
Although some commercial catch data was collected during the 19th century, those records are sporadic for some species and have little documentation or quality assurance. In 1929, Maryland began an annual program to collect commercial catch and effort statistics for fish and shellfish. Some efforts began even earlier and were particularly extensive. For oysters, the 1912 Yates Survey, a six year survey to delineate the legal boundaries of oyster bars, was an attempt to halt the sharply declining harvests over the previous twenty years. Between 1916 and 1929, new regulations restricting gear and cull size were instituted along with oyster taxes and seed and shell planting.
By 1880, regulations were also applied to blue crabs. Prior to 1873, the demand for crabs was confined to local residents living close by the bay. With refrigerated rail shipping beginning in 1873, the consumer demand for soft crabs yielded high profits. By 1878, canning of crabmeat was begun along with successful marketing, especially in the northern states. In 1917 Maryland prohibited the harvest of sponge crabs followed by Virginia in 1926. The latter state later reversed itself in 1932, permitting their harvest. The Great Depression, Prohibition, hurricanes and World War II caused substantial declines in markets and harvest of both oysters and crabs. In 1936, the crab pot was introduced into Virginia and into Maryland by 1939. For the previous 60 years, the trotline had been the principal gear but within 20 years, the crab pot became the dominant crabbing gear within both Virginia and Maryland.
During the 1950's, recreational crabbing was first recognized as substantial and increasing. Later estimates held that recreational catch could equal as much as 40% of the commercial catch. Other finfish were also sought by commercial fishermen. In 1910, the harvest of menhaden for fish oil, fishmeal and fertilizer began. The increased use of nets and resulting commercial regulations on striped bass began during the 1920's with gear restrictions and size limits. With the post-war use of nylon nets, catches increased substantially. Supporting this, a statement from the 1928 Bulletin of the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries indicated that while the productive Georges Bank produced about three tons of fish per square mile, the Chesapeake Bay produced about 11 tons of fish per square mile. Later estimates suggest that this latter figure was conservative.
Some minor fisheries also offered considerable employment to local watermen. Although the fishery for diamondback terrapin began declining after World War I, it continued until the 1940's. In the early 1920's, prime terrapin would sell for as much as $127 per dozen. Markets also existed for the hard clams from Pocomoke Sound near Crisfield and soft clams, particularly from the areas around Eastern Bay. The harvest of seaweed, primarily eelgrass, Zostera marina, was also important as it was used to pack soft crabs for shipping.
With the beginning of World War II, military demands for personnel and war materiel reduced the fishing effort on the Chesapeake. Following the war, many of the new products and equipment produced during the war effort would be employed in the fishing industry. The harvest also increased substantially. Within 5 years, crab harvest increased 10 million pounds annually. Within 2 years, catfish harvest more than doubled and in only a year, menhaden, American shad and striped bass harvests increased substantially.
During the same post-war era, the increase in leisure time, good roads and dependable vehicles, improved fishing tackle and boats resulted in a tremendous increase in recreational fishing effort, creating the first conflicts with commercial fishing interests. Striped bass, summer flounder, bluefish, spot and croaker and blue crabs were preferred by salt-water sportsmen and commercial fishermen alike.
Since the 1950,s, major changes have taken place in several important fisheries. Oyster resources declined substantially from the combined effects of disease, harvest and weather conditions; striped bass populations declined to such a low point that a 5-year harvest moratorium was instituted, resulting in a significant resurgence of the species with a stringent harvest quota system; fish kills became commonplace; in spite of natural disasters, the blue crab boom continues but concern over increasing harvest pressures by both commercial and recreational interests results in harvest restrictions and a moratorium on new commercial licenses.
Today, local, state and interstate efforts are working to manage these and other shared natural resources of the mid-Atlantic region, guaranteeing reasonable access to user groups and stability for the affected resources for current and future generations.

The Company
Alelo is a common transliteration of the Hawaiian word for tongue or language, which is at the heart of our mission to transform how people communicate.
Alelo is dedicated to helping people throughout the world communicate more effectively.
Alelo is a spin-out of the University of Southern California.
We are highly successful in transitioning research results into effective products, thanks to our background as a university spin-out. We continually develop new innovations in learning technologies and methods, and hold multiple patents. We are committed to the ongoing evaluation of our learning products, so that we can continue to innovate and improve.
Alelo creates software and content for instructional social simulations for a wide range of domestic and international markets (Government, Military, and Education). In addition, Alelo is growing its suite of training solutions to satisfy the needs of the commercial markets.
Our products started as a research project in 2003 at the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute under funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
DARPA Program Manager Dr. Ralph Chatham was inspired to support the project after listening to one of the first soldiers who went into Afghanistan in 2002. The captain told how he and his comrades reluctantly rode on tiny ponies into a town, totally relying on their Northern Alliance escorts who only spoke Pashto and some broken Russian and Arabic while the U.S. soldiers only spoke English and some broken Russian and Arabic. When the townspeople came out on the streets, the soldiers had no idea if they were friendly or hostile, not knowing how to interpret their gestures, demeanor and words.
Dr. Chatham explains, "I wanted to ensure that no American soldier or Marine would again ride blind into a foreign culture. I challenged the research community to create a training tool that would teach the brain behind every trigger finger and behind every steering wheel a bit of the gestures, culture and mission-oriented vocabulary of the land they were in. I also told the researchers that they had to perform the training with only two discontinuous weeks of contact time with the students."
In 2004 we transitioned the project from the lab into field use by the U.S. Armed Services. In 2005 the project's lead researchers at USC founded our company to further develop and commercialize the products for both defense and non-defense markets. We serve our defense and national security customers worldwide through our wholly owned subsidiary Alelo TLT, LLC.

A good white wine is enough to give D.O. and Christopher Daniels license to get drunk on lust. A few sips of the juice leads to heavy man kisses followed quickly with Christopher removing the pants of D.O. so he can suck his enormous cock. With his swarthy good looks, chiseled torso and sturdy erection, D.O. is a paragon of male beauty inspiring his fair-haired lover to feed greedily. Wanting to amp up the excitement, D.O. reaches over to play with Christopher's ass, slapping the firm cheeks and probing the sensitive hole. Christopher then climbs atop the table and hunkers down, his ass exposed and twitching for D.O. to prime with tongue jabs and finger pokes. D.O. pours wine down through his partner's butt cheeks and drinks the liquid up as it courses pass the hole. Soon the men are fucking, first with Christopher on top riding D.O.'s big boner, then missionary style with the moaning blond's legs spread far apart and his toes clenched tight until one after the other they both shoot their loads.

Review by Chris Heller
WHAT DO YOU call a movie with a former porno girl, a Norwegian television star, and the cold, rolling plains of Kansas? Pretty decent, if you're into light family dramas.
Au Pair Kansas, written and directed by J.T. O'Neal, totters on an odd premise from time to time, but steadies itself with a warm heart and stellar cinematography from Marco Fargnoli.
After her husband (Stephen O'Mahoney) dies of melanoma, Helen (Traci Lords) is left to manage both her two sons and the family's buffalo ranch on her own. But she's got some unresolved marital issues: Her gay hubby, whose ghost now talks to her, only settled down with her to have children, and the kids know. Cue Oddmund, (Håvard Lilleheie), a soccer-loving, male au pair from Sweden who Helen hires to help take the load off.
Lilleheie, who O'Neal plucked from Norwegian small-screen stardom for Au Pair Kansas, plays the foreign oaf with a lovable charm. He's always naively smiling, winning over suspicious Midwestern folk with his sincerity and cultural misunderstandings. And, like any middle-of-nowhere town in these kinds of movies, there are plenty of other quirky figures hanging around: an art teacher who wears drag (Oscar Quintero), a flirtatious gym teacher (Peter Murnik), and a lesbian cop (Cher Ferreyra). Sure, O'Neal plumbs character tropes more often than not, but the move works.
And that's ultimately, what makes Au Pair Kansas a fun movie to watch. It knows what it is -- an airy look at a troubled family -- and rightfully avoids anything with too much emotional heft. Its sugary resolution may not be to everyone's taste, but as a family comedy, it goes down smooth.

A Red Flag for Heart Disease, Yet Few Women Are Aware of PADPosted: Thursday, February 14, 2008
Only 28 percent of American women are aware of peripheral arterial disease (P.A.D.), a common and dangerous vascular disease that affects approximately nine million Americans and as many as 4.5 million women.
According to a recent study, P.A.D. � or clogged arteries of the legs � is associated with a high risk of heart attack, stroke, amputation and death.
The cross-sectional, population-based telephone survey of 2,501 adults over age 50, included 1,338 women. The majority of women surveyed reported having at least one risk factor for P.A.D., including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and history of smoking. As well, more than one in four reported leg pain, which should usually trigger efforts to evaluate P.A.D. in such a high risk population.
Women were much more likely to be aware of other cardiovascular diseases such as stroke (74 percent), coronary artery disease (65 percent) and heart failure (67 percent). Yet, the risk for P.A.D. is equal to or greater than the risk for these conditions. Female respondents were much more aware of relatively rare diseases that affect far fewer people, including Lou Gehrig�s Disease (36 percent), multiple sclerosis (44 percent) and cystic fibrosis (31 percent).
P.A.D. occurs when arteries in the legs become narrowed or clogged with fatty deposits, reducing blood flow to the legs. This can result in leg muscle pain when walking and disability, amputation and a poor quality of life. Blocked arteries found in people with P.A.D. can be a red flag that other arteries, including those in the heart and brain, may also be blocked � increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Women who reported familiarity with P.A.D. actually know very little about the disease�s potential consequences. Only 27 percent of women familiar with P.A.D. associate the disease with an increased risk of heart attack; only 28 percent associate P.A.D. with a greater risk of stroke; and only 13 percent link P.A.D. with amputation. While people with P.A.D. have high mortality rates, only 14 percent of women familiar with P.A.D. know that P.A.D. is associated with an increased risk of death.
P.A.D. affects both women and men and can strike adults of any age. The risk of P.A.D. is increased in people over age 50, particularly in smokers and former smokers, and in people with diabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, a personal history of heart disease or stroke, and in African Americans.
To increase public awareness of P.A.D., the P.A.D. Coalition and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health are conducting a national awareness campaign titled �Stay in Circulation: Take Steps to Learn About P.A.D.� The campaign provides tools for consumers, community groups, medical professionals and health organizations to inform Americans about the risks, symptoms and treatment of P.A.D. New Stay in Circulation resources are available online at http://www.aboutpad.org. For more information about the survey and other P.A.D. resources, visit http://www.PADCoalition.org or call 866.PAD.INFO (723.4636).

I think... The problem presented here is is it or is it not suicide, or possibly even homicide to perform or ask for euthanasia... I personally don't see it as either, and definately not suicide because for it to be suicide it would need to be the patient actually killing themselves. However there could be major problems in allowing people to ask for euthanasia, it would probably need to go through the court, and you'd need to request it before a judge to ensure that foul play could not have been invovled in eutanasia. But then there's the other issue, once the poison have entered the person's blood it may be too late to save them, and they may come to entire reality with what happened, they would begin to realize exactly what they will never experience again and that is life. However if they are truelly suffering they may not be able to live life. I'm in favor of legalizing eutanisia in the manor I described above.
*Yeah, I'm not reallly sure how to exactly explain what I'm trying to convey to you with the whole "after the poison has entered the persons blood..." thing...

Parking & Access:Behind the building there is plenty of parking. Ring the bell at the Stage Door.
Topic: Vectorworks in Practice
We all use Vectorworks slightly differently, when the software is well integrated with our workflow it becomes a critical part of the design and decision process. This month the group will explore using Vectorworks as the main design tool for an imagined show in the Fern Street Theatre. Explore some general topics such as Libraries, Worksheets, Seating Plans while addressing several drafting issues as they arise such as tool pre-sets, attributes and custom styles. By the end of the evening you will have designed the stage, a simple set seating, front of house layouts,placed scenery, set Props for 2 scenes, and prepared a 3D rendering pack for review.
