Pre-Professional and Two-Year Curricula
Students desiring to enter the fields of dentistry, law, medicine, ministry, optometry, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine may take their pre-professional training at East Carolina University. The courses of study are based on the requirements of various professional schools and recommendations of national organizations qualified to represent their respective fields. Since there are minor differences in admission requirements, a student should know the requirements of the school he or she expects to attend. For further information, students should consult the appropriate advisors. Students interested in pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-optometry, pre-pharmacy, and pre-veterinary curricula should share their interest with their advisor, and should contact the Center for
Pre-Professional Advising,
2535 Old Cafeteria Building.
Medical Health Professions Curriculum
Philosophies of education and specific pre-medical and pre-dental course requirements vary among medical and dental schools, but all emphasize the sciences (mathematics, chemistry, biology, and physics), communication skills, social sciences, and the humanities. An understanding of concepts and a vocabulary in the sciences are mandatory, for medicine is based on principles stemming from these disciplines. Among American medical and dental schools, the most common requisites are physics, biology, general and organic chemistry, and English.
Beginning in 2015, students taking the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) will be tested on basic principles in psychology, sociology, and critical thinking (in addition to the sciences listed above). At this time, courses in psychology, sociology, and critical thinking are not required for entrance to medical school, but are strongly recommended.
Most medical and dental schools recommend that students plan to obtain a four-year degree before initiating medical training. Students majoring in the sciences should try to obtain as broad a background in the social sciences and humanities as possible. Conversely, students majoring in a nonscience area should take more than the minimum science courses. Students wishing to attend medical or dental school should ascertain the requirements and recommendations of schools of their interest and select the specific courses required. The following specific courses are suggested as a part of, or in addition to, the requirements for the major: MATH 1065; BIOL 1100, 1101, 1200, 1201; CHEM 1150, 1151, 1160, 1161, 2750, 2753, 2760, 2763; PHYS 1250, 1260 or 2350, 2360; 1251, 1261.
Pre-Law Curriculum
Students who intend to go to law school are encouraged to pursue an undergraduate education that prepares them to understand the world in which they live, to express themselves well, and to reason accurately and logically. Pre-law students are encouraged to choose an undergraduate degree program with courses they will enjoy and in which they will excel. Law school admission is highly competitive, and law schools favor students with high grade point averages and high Law School Admission Test (LSAT) scores. Pre-law students who are eligible to participate in the Honors College may do so.
For further information and/or assistance, contact the pre-law advisor at 252-328-2645 or visit the Web site at

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 23, 2013) – With the end of the regular season approaching and in need of improving its seed for the 2013 Atlantic Sun Conference Championships, the ETSU men's basketball team will look to get back on the winning side of the ledger Saturday when the Buccaneers take on conference foe Jacksonville.
Tip is set for 3:15 p.m. inside the Veterans Memorial Arena and the game will air live on ESPN3.
Coming off a loss Thursday night against North Florida, the Buccaneers are once again hopeful that they can play well on Saturday in league action. So far this year, the Bucs have lost only once in Saturday A-Sun games.
For more on this matchup, read the game notes below or click on the game notebook link to the right. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
After several years of quality returning players and at least some level of certainty regarding what to expect heading into the winter months, the 2012-13 ETSU men's basketball team entered this new campaign with several questions and concerns. ... The loss of standout seniors such as Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) and Tommy Hubbard (Boston) will be hard to overcome, considering that group combined for a total of 3,091 points in their careers ... A year ago, the Bucs enjoyed quality wins such as a road victory over Atlantic 10 Conference foe Charlotte, and finished with a respectable 17 victories on the season ... The team finished fourth in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings at 10-8, reaching the league tournament semifinals. ... This season, the Bucs' top two returning starters were guards Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) and Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.), who both combined to score 19.7 points per game a year ago. ... However, both Cooley and Dubose have been dismissed from the team for violation of team rules and policies ... Along with those two, fellow guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) and forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) are the only other ETSU seniors to be returning after playing significant minutes last year, but Poderis is now lost for the season with a left foot injury and will be forced to redshirt, while Jones missed the first seven games of the year for academic reasons ... Jones returned against Ole Miss on Dec. 14 ... With so few returning, experienced players, ETSU has looked to some unproven returning players, as well as a recruiting class that includes three incoming freshmen and a pair of junior college transfers, to come in and make an immediate impact. ... Sophomores Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) and John Walton (Memphis), along with redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) have increased their production this year, while true freshmen guards Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.), and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.) are blossoming into early contributors. ... On the interior, Walton has been getting help from junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville).
Last time out
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 21, 2013) – Entering Thursday's game against North Florida, the ETSU men's basketball team had never lost a regular season meeting to the Ospreys in 14 previous games. That streak no longer exists. ... Shooting poorly for much of the game and struggling to find any offensive rhythm, the Buccaneers were unable to begin their weekend Jacksonville swing in a winning way, dropping a 77-64 decision to their Atlantic Sun Conference foe inside the UNF Arena.... For the second game in a row, the Buccaneers struggled mightily on the offensive end. In fact, ETSU shot just 13 percent from the floor during the first 10 minutes of the game and fell behind by as many as 14 points at 18-4. ... It only got worse from there, as UNF's lead increased to 29-12 with five minutes left before the break. The Bucs did manage to cut the halftime deficit to 12 at 33-21, but it wasn't a pretty first half as the team shot just 27 percent from the field before intermission. ... After the break, ETSU managed to cut the lead to eight at 46-38 on a 3-pointer from sophomore guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) with just under 12 minutes left in the game. But that would be as close as ETSU could get the rest of the way. ... Following a dunk by forward Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.), the freshman was tagged with a technical foul for taunting a UNF player which seemed to ignite the UNF offense, resulting in an 8-2 run that inflated the Ospreys' lead back to 59-42. The Ospreys never looked back from there.
The series versus Jacksonville
The Bucs are 11-6 all-time against the Dolphins, having split in the two meetings a year ago ... JU won the last game between the two back on Jan. 24 by a score of 83-80.
Last time out against Jacksonville
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 24, 2013) – In a game that featured two teams putting on an offensive clinic, the ETSU men's basketball team's second half rally came up short as the Jacksonville Dolphins enjoyed an 83-80 win over the Buccaneers in Atlantic Sun Conference play Thursday night inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... Trailing 65-52 with just under 12 minutes left in the game, the Buccaneers battled back to regain the advantage at 76-75 with less than two minutes left in the game. However, JU outscored the Bucs 8-4 the rest of the way, and a desperation 3-point attempt by ETSU freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) missed the mark as time expired. ... ETSU led by as many as 11 points in the first half, as the Bucs shot 54 percent from the floor and 50 percent from 3-point range in the opening 20 minutes. However, at that point Jacksonville combined to finish the first half on a 14-5 run and then opened the second half on another 23-6 burst to build its 13-point second half advantage. ... The Bucs then outscored JU 24-10 over the next 10 minutes and took the lead 76-75 on senior guard Jarvis Jones' (Memphis) 3-pointer with 1:56 left in the game. But in the end, it wasn't enough. ... Jacksonville was led offensively by a game-high 23 points from Keith McDougald, while Dylan Fritsch and Javon Dawson scored 17 and 16, respectively. JU finished the game shooting 54 percent from the field and 42 percent from 3-point range.
Young Bucs still face obstacle with experience
At no time in the tenure of ETSU head coach Murry Bartow have the Buccaneers had less experience ... Currently, the team has 10 players who are eligible and healthy enough to play, and of that group there are only six total years of Division I experience ... On average, that's less than a half year of experience per player ... With four freshmen and two junior college transfers that means 66 percent of the team is competing in their first season of Division I basketball.
Bucs earning reputation as "Comeback Kids"
With their comeback from 20 points down to beat Stetson on Feb. 9, the Buccaneers just continue to build a reputation as a team that won't go away no matter the score ... The Bucs have now won five of their eight games after being down significantly ... In wins over Charleston Southern (Nov. 20), FGCU (Jan. 12) and Stetson (Feb. 9), the Bucs were down by as many as 19 points and still won ... ETSU also came back from second-half deficits to drop North Florida (Jan. 26) and Lipscomb (Feb. 2).
Walton breaks out in win over Kennesaw State
Sophomore post John Walton (Memphis) has shown signs of his potential on-and-off throughout his first two seasons in Johnson City ... Against Kennesaw State on Valentine's Day, Walton finally put together a complete game ... Setting career highs for points (23), blocks (3) and minutes played (39), Walton powered the Bucs to a 79-70 victory ... He went 8-of-9 from the field and 7-of-7 from the foul line, while also grabbing five rebounds and collecting a pair of steals in the game. ... He followed that with a 12-point, six-rebound effort against Mercer (2/16).
Jones meeting expectations for Bucs
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow expected the return of senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) would improve his team's efforts on the offensive end of the floor … He was right. … Recently, Jones almost single-handedly won the game for the Bucs against Lipscomb (Feb. 2), scoring a career high 36 points and hitting three straight 3-pointers in overtime -- including the game winner ... Since returning to the team in the middle of December, Jones has averaged a team-best 16.6 points per game, and currently ranks third in the A-Sun in scoring ... He also ranks second in steals per game (2.0), 10th in free throw percentage (75%) and first in minutes played (37.0).
Rembert heating up from outside, nearing national mark
Sophomore guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) has made the most of his increased playing time this season, having made a 3-pointer in 26 straight games and currently ranks second in the A-Sun in 3-point field goal percentage at 42 percent on the season ... Against Jacksonville last month, he gave ETSU's coaches even more reason to utilize him ... Hitting on 5-of-7 attempts from 3-point range against the Dolphins and counting the six games since that time, Rembert has made 50 3-pointers on the year.
Shuffling starters the "new normal" for Bucs
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow has used 17 different starting lineups in the team's 28 games this season ... Injuries and dismissals have left the ETSU's coaches searching for the right combination, as the team currently stands at 9-20.
ESPN names Wilson to nation's Top 25 freshmen list
While circumstances have forced the ETSU men's basketball team to struggle in the early going this season, talented redshirt freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) has still given the Buccaneers reason for hope. ... Wilson, who is averaging 15.3 points per game, was listed as one of the Top 25 freshmen in college basketball Thursday by ESPN hoops writer John Gasaway. The list – which included players such as UNLV's Anthony Bennett, UCLA's Jordan Adams, Michigan's Nik Stauskas and Duke's Rasheed Sulaimon – had Wilson ranked at No. 25. ... Wilson has posted six 20-plus point games so far this season.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987 in a game against Davidson, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 792 consecutive games. ... ETSU was 0-for-8 in that 1987 game.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
In the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball – marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 – the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors … The Bucs -- who have enjoyed nine NCAA trips, one NIT and one CIT berth, 14 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85 -- ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun team, as well as former SoCon rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. In addition, at that time the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as programs such as Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson and Fla. State.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech had to work a lot harder than expected Sunday afternoon to even their season record and remain unbeaten against Bluefield College. The Rams challenged Tech throughout the first half before the Golden Eagles took control in the second half for a 74-56 non-conference victory.
The win allowed the Golden Eagles to level their overall season record at 6-6 while Bluefield's record dipped to 4-10.
Sunday's outcome allowed Tech to stay perfect in the
all-time series with the NAIA program from Virginia at 7-0, but
this was one of the toughest challenges the Rams have provided.
Tech held Bluefield to two field goals over a 17-minute span, and used that defensive stretch to open a double-figure lead in a contest that was close up until halftime.
Redshirt freshman Chase Dunn finished with 21 points in 22
minutes on the floor to pace the Golden Eagles, while junior Kevin
Murphy netted 20. Forwards Jud Dillard and Alfred Jones (photo
above right) each had solid games in the paint. Dillard finished
with 10 points and nine rebounds, while Jones added 11 points and
eight rebounds.
Three players were in double figures for the Rams, led by Rob Wright with 14 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals. Borgia M'Bala and Alvin Board had 10 apiece.
Dunn's 3-pointer with 12:42 to play in the half put Tech into a double-digit lead at 16-5, but that didn't last long. The Rams put together a 13-2 scoring run to tie the game at 18-18 with 8:56 remaining. M'Bala hit back-to-back 3-pointers to make it a three-point game and Dmitry Zimin's jumper knotted the contest.
Ted O'boute followed with a jumper at the 7:57 mark and Bluefield led, 20-18. A 3-pointer at the 5:28 mark by Rob Wright opened the Rams' lead to five points, 23-18, their largest advantage of the night.
Murphy poured through a 3-pointer and Zac Swansey hit a layup
following a steal and feed from Dillard and the Golden Eagles had
tied it at 23-23.
The contest was tied one more time at 25-all on a jumper by Wright, and M'Bala's 3-pointer with 2:54 to play put Bluefield on top once again, this time by a 28-27 margin,
The Golden Eagles scored the final eight points of the half,
including a 17-footer by Murphy as the horn sounded to give Tech a
35-28 lead at halftime.
After shooting 50 percent in the first half, Tech connected on 52.2 percent of its shots (12-for-23) in the second half. But it wasn't the offense that keyed Tech in pulling ahead. It was a defensive effort that held Bluefield without a field goal for the final 2:54 of the first half, and just two baskets – both by Byron Carpenter – over the first 17:21 of the second half.
Tech built the lead to 20 points with 8:39 remaining, 57-37, on a layup by Jones. The largest lead of the night was a 27-point bulge, 70-43, with three minutes to play.
The Golden Eagles head to Kentucky's infamous "Death Valley" this week for Ohio Valley Conference tilts at Morehead State Thursday and Eastern Kentucky Saturday. The game at MSU tips off Thursday at 6:30 p.m. CT, while Saturday's visit at EKU starts at 6 p.m. CT.

Autodesk Releases 'Starforce Battlement' Mobile Game
November 4, 2012 8:15 pm
Tags: Autodesk, Games, Gaming, Middleware
New Proof-of-Concept Game Developed by Autodesk Illustrates the Power of Scaleform Mobile SDK
Today Autodesk Inc., announced the release of "Starforce Battlement," a new 2D mobile tower defense game developed by the Autodesk Gameware team using the Autodesk Scaleform Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK) and Autodesk 3ds Max software. Created as a proof-of-concept game, "Starforce Battlement" is an engrossing mobile experience that demonstrates the latest capabilities of the Scaleform Mobile SDK. It is available today on iOS as a free iPad download and will be available on Android devices this year. The game and all its assets, including the FMOD sound engine, are also provided to customers who purchase a Scaleform Mobile SDK license.
"Starforce Battlement" immerses gamers in a series of intergalactic missions as they travel throughout different planets and galaxies to defend their territories from encroaching enemy troops. The game features four distinct levels in which gamers arm themselves with defensive units and super moves, such as the ability to call in an airstrike and beam extra troops into battle.
Leveraging 3ds Max and the Adobe Creative Suite, Autodesk created high-quality models, animations, and level environments for "Starforce Battlement." The team then tapped Autodesk Scaleform Mobile SDK -- a standalone runtime solution with cross-platform, hardware accelerated vector graphics capabilities -- to launch the game. Key Scaleform Mobile SDK features used to create the game include: support for ActionScript 2, ActionScript 3 and native C++ APIs; aliased vector graphics rendering; accelerated compilation; included FMOD license for audio support and a smaller memory footprint. To view a complete list of Scaleform Mobile SDK highlights, please visit: http://gameware.autodesk.com/scaleform/advantage.

A Texas state record breaking alligator was caught Wednesday morning in Liberty County.
Gary Saurage and his crew from Gator Country, in Beaumont, TX, were called in to capture the huge gator from Champion Lake north of Wallisville and Interstate Ten in South Liberty County.
Saurage announced Thursday he would name it "Big Tex."
The record breaking reptile, which measured 13 feet, eight inches long and more than 900 pounds, was brought back to Gator Country where it will be given a new home.
Saurage confirmed with Texas Parks and Wildlife that the gator is the largest ever caught in Texas.
"And they let me know by record they don't see anything that's even been within 5 inches of this as for as being caught live. And uh that makes me feel proud. I've been looking for this gator for a really long time. This is without a doubt the highlight of my career," Saurage told 12News.
After 6 hours out on champion lake in Liberty County, the gator country crew hauled in this gigantic monster. The gator is a state record length of 13 feet and 8 and a half inches, weighing in at 900 pounds.
Gary Saurage is overwhelmed that gator country is the beast's new home.
"There's no question this is the highlight of my career, this is a really big alligator," Saurage said about his team's accomplishment.
The alligator has not always been this calm. Stuart Marcus with the National Wildlife Refuge says the gator has been a nuisance in the lake.
He believes it's a reminder that grappling with alligators is a job for professionals.
"We would much rather have him back in the wild but because of safety issues we had to move him, but if anything, don't ever feed alligators, if you see one, stay at least 50 or 75 feet away from them," Marcus noted.
This record size gator for the state of Texas got too used to humans. But now that he has a new home in Gator Country, Saurage believes he'll be a lot better off.
"He's not going to be a dead alligator he's going to be a live alligator here so we can educate people and show people what they're like. And this is a magnificent beast, now people from all over the world will come and see even one that's bigger than Big Al, finally," Saurage said.
Two apex alligators, the two largest in the state are now swimming calmly right here in Southeast Texas.
Saurage says he plans to build a new pond for the alligator so he won't invade Big Al's space.
Saurage will offer four lifetime passes to Gator Country to the family of who picks the alligator's name.

Toshiba launches Household Fuel CellOct 03 (Wed ), 2012
Toshiba Launches Household Fuel Cell That Operates Independently Even During Blackouts
Major Japanese electronics manufacturer Toshiba Corp. and Toshiba Fuel Cell Power Systems Corp. announced on June 25, 2012, the development of a new type of Ene-Farm, a household fuel cell, which operates even during blackouts by employing a self-sustained operation function. Shipping of the product to city gas companies and liquefied petroleum gas distributing companies is now underway.
The new product uses a combination of the conventional model, which was released in March 2012, and the self-sustained operation function. When the Ene-Farm is in operation during blackouts, power can be supplied through an independent outlet from the Ene-Farm. Another type of the Ene-Farm equipped with a selection switch box automatically changes the power source for water heaters from commercial power sources to the Ene-Farm during blackouts.

Re: RPG: The Naltoon Assault
Raina watched him leave, almost confused. She sat there for a moment, thinking. Then, without any hesitation, she went back to her bunker, finding her sniper rifle and a decent blaster. She strapped the sniper to her back and hurried to find where the captain had gone. As she approached the main exit to the base, the guards looked her over. "Ma'am," said the first, "I really don't think it's a good idea for you to be going out into this, I mean, an officer as important as you..."
She did not remain to hear the rest of his little speech as she was already running out, scanning the grounds for the captain. Stray blaster bolts were flying closer and she ducted behind a building to get cover. Pulling out her sniper, she lay down, raising the scope to her eye and finding a target. *POW* the shot went straight into his skull, and he was dead before he hit the ground. Raina quickly moved to another building, before anyone realized where the shot had come from.
Then, she spotted him, amongst a full swarm of rebels stood the captain firing off shots although even more were being returned. Putting the scope once again to her eye she started firing, making each shot count. The rebels stood no chance, the Captains expertise weapons and skill combined with Raina's helpful sniping soon left only one rebel standing, whom she blasted with a pistol as she walked towards the captain.

Soy-Free Diet
The Basics
The soy-free diet is eaten by people who are allergic to soy, one of the most common food allergies in infants, young children, and adults. These people are required to eliminate all foods that contain soy or soy products in order to avoid unpleasant allergic reactions. Most people who are allergic to soy are allergic to the protein in soy. Soy oil and soy lecithin pose little risk of causing an allergic reaction in most, although not all, soy-allergic people because processing removes almost all the protein.
- Read labels carefully to determine if a soy product is included and avoid any food you're not sure about until you are able to verify that it is soy-free.
- Learn the technical and scientific terms for soy so you can recognize them on food labels: tofu, edamame, miso, tempeh, momodiglyceride, textured vegetable protein, soy protein isolate, and so forth.
- Ask at restaurants and at others' homes to be sure the food you are being served is soy-free.
Best bets: Look for nonsoy protein sources such as veggie burgers (be careful to read the label—not all of these will be soy-free), wheat gluten, seitan, and meat products, and cow's milk, rice milk, and almond milk.

Mad Max Fury Road is madness unleashed. Two hours of orgasmic insanity taken up on the vanguard by mind-numbing action, melting music of high-octane engine revving, breathtaking inane takedowns, colossal beastly war machines that only speak of destruction, flying rad bikes that skim the dunes with pizzazz and the unceasing adrenaline rush that doesn't let you settle down even for a sec! Ice that with crazy visuals, top-notch 3D and exceptional score and
There is madness in the air and you could literally see it. It is the right amount of dark that doesn't touch gore but still goes on to show a lot of death. With dope visuals and swell 3D, Fury Road becomes a rare coup. It breathes on an outstanding plot, deadly stunts and constant punishing annihilation. Right from the prologue the movie starts packing in exquisite action. It further inches into more lunacy with its unique storyline that would beat your imagination.
"Hope is a mistake."
George Miller's beauty is less Max and more Furiosa. Max just happens to run into her muck. Primarily the tale of the furious Furiosa who is on her way towards her origin, driving a charging War Machine, hatching a secret in the beast and keeping her greasy eyes of hope wide open for redemption. Charlize Theron imparts Furiosa, an apt depth, something that only she could have done justice to. Nicholas Hoult does a memorable Nux who is downright nuts. Tom Hardy sways in the Max boots with his laconic act that entails kicking a lot of ass.
Miller's subtlety plays extremely well with the score, as suddenly the vibrant beats stop for Max to reveal his name. You can also perceive the adroitness in his direction when he shows things from Furiosa's perspective by manifesting Max's return after taking care of The Bullet Farmer.
"It is not his blood."
With the flick being an action feast, a lot of things remain unsaid. However, Miller makes sure that people still fathom and connect with trivial things like nods and gestures by slipping in the right amount of gravity.
You can order Mad Max Fury Road in Ultra HD from here:
Mad Max Fury Road is one of the best action films I have seen in ages which not only carries an awesome storyline but also a throbbing joyride into mechanical awesomeness on the relentless Fury Road. I am planning on watching this beauty again. Loco stuff!

We got a handful more than a handful of interesting toys to tell you about today, so let's get at it.
Our first product comes to us from a manufacturer new to our product review effort. We welcome Xmybox. Don't ya just love that name?
Here's Dr Dick Review Crew member, Christa with the lowdown.
Dew Drop —— $59.95
Happy New Year, fellow perverts! I'm beginning my 3rd year with the Dr Dick Review Crew, if you can believe that. I remember back in November 2008 when I got my first assignment, I was like blown away with all the free stuff. Then I realized that I was being offered all the products that no one else wanted to review. I imagined Dr Dick saying; "lets give this to that freak Christa, she'll love it!"
Hey, I don't mind, I am a freak and proud of it. Besides, I think us freaks have a shit-load more fun then the rest of you. But I digress.
Now that I'm a long-term reviewer, I'm getting more mainstream stuff to review. That's fine by me too. Take today's product, for example. There's nothing freaky or even kinky about the Dew Drop. It's basically a vibrating egg made of hard plastic. There are a few interesting features beyond the obvious, like it has it's own handle. They call a "dropper", that kind of attaches to the egg, by way of a clear plastic cord. This makes the insertion of the vibrating egg into a pussy (mine or yours) pretty easy. A nice personal lube is required; at least it is for me. And since the Dew Drop is hard plastic, you can use whatever kind of lube you want. I used a silicone-based lube.
Once the egg is deposited in said pussy (mine or yours) you remove the "dropper" leaving the clear plastic cord. It's exactly like a tampon, only completely different.
And get this; the vibrating egg is operated by a remote control, which is very, very cool. Those tiny watch batteries operate both the egg and the controller and they are included in the package, thank you very much!
The vibration is not going to knock your socks off, but there are 6 vibration patterns and 8 speeds. The controller is easy to handle and operate and is effective from up to 10 yards away.
Of course, once my sub, butt-boy BF, Alex saw the Dew Drop he wanted to try it in his ass. He's this total ass whore, ya know. But I refused. Not that I don't think his hungry hole couldn't accommodate the modestly sized egg, on the contrary. It's that I didn't trust the clear plastic cord or its connection to the egg to withstand pulling the egg out of his ass. This is regrettable! Because I would have had a load of fun remotely operating the vibration while it was lodged in his ass and we were at the Homo Depot! Maybe the Xmybox folks could work on a model that didn't have such a flimsy connection.
Full Review HERE!
Now a couple of swell toys from our favorite retailer — Adult Sex Toys .com.
Nexus O —— $73.92
I'm starting off the new year with an excellent toy. Allow me to introduce you to the brilliant O from Nexus.
But before I get to the review I have a bone to pick. The package says that the O a male G-spot massager. I have a big problem with that. I assume the Nexus people are trying to educate the public about the male prostate, or P-spot, but likening it to a G-spot, I think, only muddies the waters. To tell you the truth, I don't much like the term P-spot either. It's so adolescent.
Listen folks, men have prostates. Your prostate is a highly erogenous zone, if you've discovered yours or not. Stimulating your prostate is not only intensely pleasurable, but it's also beneficial in terms of prostate health. So if a company like Nexus wants to educate the public about this, I suggest that they quit beating around the bush and call a spade a spade. That's what I'm going to do.
The Nexus O is an extraordinary prostate massager. It has an amazingly simple design, but it delivers a surprising amount of stimulation. Its velvety feel comes from it being fashioned from 100% high-grade silicone. It has three pleasure points (balls) that arouse the two major pleasure points on a guys anatomy; the prostate and the taint (perineum), and area just behind your nuts. And the unique O design keeps the massage in place.
Having the Nexus O stay in place is essential to its effectiveness, because this is supposed to be a hands-free pleasure device. You can wear it while you're beatin off, while you're goin down on your partner, or while you're fuckin you're partner. It's that brilliant.
Regular prostate massage considerably increases my ejaculate. I also find that, if I wear the Nexus O for at least a half hour before Gina and I play together, my erection is stronger and lasts longer. I'm not sure why this is, it I can vouch for the effect.
There are no batteries to worry about; in fact, it's not actually a vibrator. It's a massager that works its magic while I sit on it, rock back and forth or just walk around. I can clench my sphincter muscles while I have the Nexus O wedged in my ass, I can also work on my kegels. These are indispensable exercises for any guy who is into his ass. The Nexus O is decidedly low-tech, but it works. Instructions for use are on the inside panel of the package insert.
Full Review HERE!
As you will see, Denise takes me to task for an unintended oversight.
Alumina Pace —— $59.71
I had to have a little talk with Dr Dick a while back. I noticed that all the cool anal toys, like butt plugs, were being reviewed by only the guys in the Review Crew. "What's up with that," I asked. "A lot of us ladies like ass play too." In his defense, Dr Dick said that he's an equal opportunity ass-pleaser. And if I wanted to pleasure myself where the sun don't shine, he had just the thing for me.
As luck would have it, my challenge to the boys only rule, which wasn't really a rule, came at them most opportune time. It scored me this stunning 100% aeronautic grade aluminum plug, the Alumina Pace, by Tantus.
Tantus is famous for their beautiful silicone toys. We've reviewed several of them already. And as much as I love silicone, this aluminum plug is everything I could want.
The Alumina Pace is both stylish and functional. It is not a particularly big insertable; it's about five inches long and the diameter is 1 1/4″ at its widest point. And it's actually a doubleheader. You can insert either end!
The aeronautic grade aluminum is, of course, phthalate-free and non-porous. The Alumina Pace can be sterilized, which is important if you wish to share it with someone else. Soap and water is all you need for general cleanup, but you can also toss it in the dishwasher, boil it, or wipe it down with a 10% bleach or peroxide solution. It's that easy.
The heft of the aluminum is also a plus. This distinguishes this plug from say a silicone plug. The extra weight is really nice. The teardrop shape of the one head and the bulbous shape to the other head both make for easy insertion and comfortable wearing. But both ends provide distinctive sensations.
The Alumina Pace can be both warmed and chilled for added sensations. If you've never had an insertable that you can enjoy in this fashion, I highly recommend you give it a try.

Halloween is the time to show some love to our favorite bad guys. Follow these simple tips, and rule any Halloween costume party while dressed up as your favorite fantasy villain or villainess.
Severus Snape from Harry Potter
This extremely skillful wizard from the Harry Potter books may not be a real villain in the story, but his cold exterior and complex personality make him the character that we most love to hate.
To copy Snape's outfit, you will need to find or create a black robe with special extra-wide sleeves that are split from the side to the shoulder. Use this helpful tutorial to make the robe and replace the green inner lining with a black one.
Substitute a black robe for Snape's knee length jacket by turning up the collar and using safety pins to pinch the robe at the back and sleeves for a tighter fit. The rest of the attire consists of a white collared shirt under the jacket, a pair of black slacks, and black square-toe boots.

Amanda Peet – Crush Of The Day
Amanda Peet could be in nothing but Rob Schneider movies for the rest of her life and we'd still love her. We hope that never happens because it would mean there were more Rob Schneider movies on the way and that could prove catastrophic to the world as we know it.
Thankfully, her new NBC sitcom 'Bent' is a little bit better than that. Peet returned to the small screen on March 21st as a divorced lawyer who has to deal with a womanizing contractor. Unfortunately for Amanda, the show debuted to the lowest ratings of any sitcom and is probably not long for this world. Maybe putting it up against 'American Idol' wasn't the smartest move?
If we were going to program an Amanda Peet film festival (and who's to say we won't someday), the slate of films would run the gamut from ridiculous comedy to cerebral drama, 'Syriana' to 'Igby Goes Down.' Even in crap like '2012′ she gives it her all, which is more than we can say for a lot of actors.
Peet has rebounded from adversity before. Her last two TV shows were also cancelled before their time, so this is nothing new. Safe bets are on her going back to the big screen and concentrating on raising her two kids. She'll be due for another show sometime around 2018.

Berkman and Baker blast Rangers over Mariners
Seattle, WA – Lance Berkman belted a three-run homer and Jeff Baker added a two-run shot, as the Texas Rangers topped the Seattle Mariners, 9-5, to start a three-game series.
Justin Grimm (4-3) scattered 10 hits, gave up three runs and struck out five in 6 1/3 innings to help the Rangers to their seventh win in 10 games.
Kyle Seager went 3-for-5 with an RBI and Brendan Ryan drove in a pair for Seattle. Kendrys Morales and Raul Ibanez each had a pair of hits and an RBI for the Mariners, losers of a season-high seven in a row.
Joe Saunders (3-5) yielded eight hits and six runs over five innings to suffer his first loss in 14 starts (9-1) in Seattle.
Jurickson Profar singled and Mitch Moreland doubled to left prior to Berkman's homer to left field to give the Rangers a 5-2 lead in the third inning.
Morales scored on an Ibanez double in the bottom half, but Elvis Andrus lifted a sacrifice fly in the fourth.
Texas tacked on three runs in the seventh for a 9-3 cushion. Nelson Cruz laced an RBI single to center, and later in the frame David Murphy connected off Lucas Luetge for a two-run base hit.
Ryan and Seager each had RBI doubles off Joe Ortiz in the ninth, but Joe Nathan came in and struck out Michael Morse to secure his 15th save.
Morales singled in a run in the opening inning, but Baker's two-run blast to right in the second gave Texas the lead.
Seattle scored once in the second, but could have had more if not for a brutal umpiring mistake. Ibanez and Justin Smoak singled prior to Jesus Sucre grounding a ball that ended up as a phantom double play. First baseman Moreland threw to shortstop Elvis Andrus for the force at second. The return throw to first saw Moreland and Grimm come together. Both reached for the ball, but Moreland's foot was on the base and Grimm's was not. Grimm caught the ball in his glove and first base umpire Jeff Nelson called Sucre out.
"Everybody was just focused on the bag. I thought he just came off the bag. I didn't find out until later in replay, that he didn't catch the ball," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said.
Rangers manager Ron Washington admitted his team got lucky.
"I didn't have to see the replay. We caught a break there," he said.
Game Notes
Texas is 6-2 versus the Mariners this season ... Prior to the game, the Mariners selected the contract of Sucre from Triple-A Tacoma and designated infielder Robert Andino for assignment, and recalled infielder Carlos Triunfel from Tacoma.

Giovanni Francesco Bezzi (Nosadella) (Italian, Bologna ca. 1530 - 1571 Bologna)
The Presentation in the Temple, ca. 1567
Oil on panel
25 13/16 x 17 5/8 in. (65.6 x 44.8 cm)
Mrs. F. F. Prentiss Fund and R. T. Miller, Jr. Fund, 1982
The complex architctural setting and gracefully contorted figures of Nosadella's composition reflect the influence of the Florentine maniera, and indicate that this partially unfinished painting is probably a late work by the artist.
Nosadella's painting depicts the infant Jesus brought to the Temple in Jerusalem to be consecrated to the Lord, in accordance with Jewish tradition (Luke 2:22-29). The child is held by the aged priest Simeon, to whom it had been disclosed that he would not die until he had seen the Messiah. The Virgin, seated to the left with Joseph hovering beside her, holds an open book in her left hand and with the other grasps a small cage with two white doves, supported on the head of a kneeling child. The doves are probably a reference to the Jewish rite of the "purification" of the mother, which required the sacrifice of a pair of white pigeons or turtle doves.1 The rituals of Purification and Consecration were adopted by the early Christian church, and were often celebrated simultaneously; thus in Renaissance and Baroque art the imagery was commonly combined, as in Nosadella's composition.
Details of Nosadella's stylistic development over his twenty-year career are still somewhat shadowy. Malvasia noted that "those few works by him that are known--and they are mostly frescos--are distinguished by their good color, as with his master [Tibaldi] and are full of erudition. If they are not as perfect and studied [as those of Tibaldi], they are perhaps more powerful, singular, and resolute."2 Nosadella seems to have progressed from a heavy, almost sculptural style indebted to Tibaldi's idiosyncratic interpretation of Michelangelesque mannerism, to a more refined and naturalistic style in the 1560s, reflecting a more Florentine maniera. While there are some lingering similarities between Nosadella's mature paintings and works by Tibaldi, they are generally more delicate than the latter's compositions, which are crowded with powerful forms and taut energy. Nosadella's paintings show a greater emphasis on linear, decorative qualities, more complex arrangements of drapery, and a greater sense of space within the composition.
As suggested by Sambo, Winckelmann, and Romani, the Oberlin Presentation in the Temple was probably executed between the mid 1560s and the artist's death in 1571.3 It can be grouped with several other works attributed to this period, which are similar in style and in the distribution of figures within a well-articulated interior space: most notably a Circumcision in a private collection,4 and the larger altarpiece of the same subject done for the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, Bologna, and completed by Prospero Fontana in 1571.5
At least two drawings can be associated with the Oberlin painting. A sketch for the figure of the Virgin is in the National Gallery, Scotland;5 and several figures in the Presentation --specifically the figure of Joseph to the left of the Virgin, the figure of Simeon, and the temple attendant standing behind him and to the right--correspond closely to analogous elements in a drawing of the Adoration of the Magi in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.6
M. E. Wieseman
Little is known of the life of the Bolognese painter Giovanni Francesco Bezzi, called Nosadella. He is mentioned briefly by Malvasia7 as a pupil of Pellegrino Tibaldi (1527-1596) and a painter of frescos, none of which survive. Nosadella was probably born in Bologna about 1530; he enrolled in the Quattro Arti di Bologna in 1549, and was a member of the Bombasari and Painters' guilds in 1571. He apparently traveled frequently and spent time in Rome. Among the handful of securely documented works by the artist are a Madonna and Child with Saints, painted for the Oratorio of Santa Maria della Vita, Bologna; and a Circumcision, painted in 1571 for the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, Bologna (completed by Prospero Fontana). There has been considerable debate about paintings traditionally attributed to Nosadella; many have been proposed instead as the work of Pellegrino Tibaldi.

Technical Data
The original wood panel has been thinned to about 1/16 inch and attached to a thicker panel, with strips of wood added to cover all edges. The painting also seems to have been reduced considerably in width (ca. 10 in. [25 cm]) between 1830 and 1945 (see Provenance), and may have been thinned and cradled at this time. Several vertical cracks in the original support are still clearly visible.
The thin white ground was applied using horizontal brushstrokes in the center of the panel, and with vertical or diagonal strokes elsewhere. Underdrawing, executed with a brush in black paint, outlines the architecture, some drapery contours, and other elements of the composition not carried out in the paint layer (especially in the Virgin and the kneeling figure to her right). A thin brown imprimatura was applied over the ground and underdrawing. The paint layer varies from thin transparent layers to thicker, more opaque ones; all areas are very sketchily executed with many areas left unfinished, revealing the imprimatura and underdrawing. There are fills along the top and bottom edges of the panel, and along the vertical cracks; inpaint is extensive in the lower portion of painting and along the cracks.

8. Sabbatini (ca. 1530-1576) was a Bolognese contemporary of Nosadella whose work of the 1560s and '70s is particularly close to that artist. Although the painting at Oberlin is approximately 10 inches narrower than the dimensions given in the 1830 sale, this might be the result of severely split or damaged pieces having been removed from the sides of the panel in the interim. See Technical Data.
9. The Oberlin painting was mentioned by Waagen as in the collection of John Neeld, Grittleton House, in 1854: "Lorenzo Sabbatini--The Presentation in the Temple: a powerfully-coloured picture by this otherwise mannered painter." See G. F. Waagen, Treasures of Art in Great Britain, vol. 2 (London, 1854), p. 244.

Seven Orange County high school students have been named National Achievement Scholars in this year's National Merit Scholarship competition, a designation awarded to black students for their high Preliminary SAT test scores.
The students, who will receive scholarships worth at least $2,000, are part of a pool of about 800 black high school seniors honored nationwide, according to a list released today by the Evanston, Ill.-based National Merit Scholarship Corp.
The Orange County winners were selected from among 13 local students who were named National Achievement Scholar semifinalists in September.
The competition was founded in 1964.
Three of the O.C. National Achievement Scholars this year also are National Merit semifinalists, an even more elite designation awarded to less than 1 percent of all U.S. seniors nationwide.
To be named a National Merit semifinalist, students in California were required to score at least 220 out of 240 on their PSAT in 2011. National Merit scholarship winners will be announced in phases starting later this month.
National Achievement Scholars did not have a minimum PSAT score to achieve, according to program officials. They were selected from among the highest-scoring black test-takers in a particular geographic area, or because they met specific criteria of a scholarship sponsor.
Hispanic students also are honored each year for their high PSAT scores through the National Hispanic Recognition Program, run by the New York-based College Board.
The National Achievement competition began when 160,000 qualifying students took the 2011 PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.
Of those, 1,600 of the highest scoring were named semi-finalists; 1,300 of those met the requirements needed to advance to finalist status.
The awards include more than $2 million in scholarships financed by 34 corporations, professional organizations and the National Merit Scholarship Corp.
Of the 800 honorees, 700 will receive a one-time National Achievement $2,500 scholarship, awarded regionally based on the population of black Americans.
About 100 students received corporate scholarships for meeting criteria of sponsoring organizations, such as living in the area served by the company, planning to major in a specific field or being children of company employees. Corporate scholarships range from single payments of $2,500 to $5,000, to multi-year payments of $500 to $10,000 each.
Here are the seven Orange County honorees and their schools:
- Jade Dao Warren, Troy High School, Fullerton*
- John R. Austin, Irvine High*
- Coryna L. Ogunseitan, University High, Irvine*
- Nicholas A. Gallo, Servite High, Anaheim
- Sara N. Kebede, San Clemente High
- Sean Shaw, Laguna Beach High
- John M. Morkos, Servite High, Anaheim
*Also a National Merit semifinalist

Those having large music collections in digital format, namely most of us, often face a problem that plagues nearly every assembly of multimedia files: faulty labeling. This can be quite annoying when, for example, you want to compile all the songs from a specific album but you don't remember all the featured songs or if you want to group your MP3s by genre. A simple renamer is of little help in this case, as the level of detail you need to process goes way beyond the mere file naming. There are dozens of tag editors out there with various levels of complexity for you to choose one to your liking.
If you're looking for a hassle-free tool that carries sufficient features, as well as a blank price tag, there is a certain piece of software for you to try. Its name is Moo0 Mp3InfoEditor and it offers a quick means of restoring order amongst the ranks of your music files. An uncomplicated interface, with all the functions in plain sight and batch processing capability are some of the characteristics you'll see as soon as you start it up. You will need no special abilities to work with this utility because the operation is straightforward, as its commands are very easy to understand and use.
First of all, you will notice the two running modes available and you'll have to decide which one is best for the task you want to accomplish: ''View & Edit'' or ''Alter Multiple Files at Once.'' The next obvious step is to load the items that are to be processed by the application. At this time, you'll see that the only supported type is MP3, as the software's name clearly states, so if you have audio files encoded in WAV or any other similar format, you should convert them to MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Adding the music can only be done by the familiar ''drag and drop'' action that will require you to open a Windows Explorer instance and locate the source folder.
If the selected file already packs some information, it will be displayed in the main window of Moo0 Mp3InfoEditor so you can check it and add more details where necessary. An important quality of this tool is that it can read and write using over 40 character sets like UTF-8, Central European, Chinese Simplified and Traditional or Western. This is very useful especially if the encoding for the embedded details is in a less common format or you need to make it as such. The read and write charsets are interchangeable, thus making possible hundreds of combinations.
The next step in processing the information for a loaded file is to edit the various fields containing the MP3 information. Here, you are presented with seven sections. The first one is the song title, followed by the performing artist. You can also input the name of the album and the year when the musical composition appeared. If the selected file is ripped from an audio CD, you'll be able to add the track number. The final fields are for the genre and for a specific comment you may want to add regarding that song.
When all the needed information is in its right place, all that's left for you to do is click the ''Apply Changes'' button and the magic will happen. To check if the content you introduced is correctly assigned, you can right-click the MP3 file in Windows Explorer, select ''Properties'' and then ''Details.'' The data should be there just as you typed it and now that song can be properly added to any selection based on one of the edited criteria. For example, if you load that song into an external player, you will be able to find it by sorting the files according to a rule that takes into account one of the values you inserted, like ''Artist Name'', ''Album'' or ''Genre.''
When it comes to batch processing, Moo0 Mp3InfoEditor will give you the possibility of modifying all the above mentioned fields at once or only some of them, as you please. All that is required from you is to check the ''Alter'' box for every section and enter the text content. There is also an interesting option designed to offer you a choice regarding the information that you don't want to modify for all the files at once. Consequently, you may change only the encoding for the un-altered fields and also pick the preferred character set.
The ''View'' menu of the application will surely look familiar to you because it enables you to use a variety of handy functions that are similar to those you may have used in Moo0 ImageInColors or Moo0 ImageTypeConverter. First of all, there's the command that lets you put the utility always on top of all the other running programs. Another feature that is quite useful is the ''easy drag.'' This allows you to change the position of the main window by simply clicking and holding the left mouse button with the cursor located anywhere within the boundaries of the interface. Finally, this menu will permit you to shut down the program with the help of the middle button, if your mouse has one. It's also worth mentioning the fact that this software supplies several languages for the interface and the number of available translations is constantly increasing.
The Good
The main strong point of this tool is its ease of use that will assist any user in appending the MP3 information without having to go through complicated configuration screens. The application's ability to deal with multiple files at the same time also scores some points alongside the processing speed, which is really good.
The Bad
Moo0 Mp3InfoEditor loses some points due to the rather austere user interface that clearly states the focus is evidently on practicality. There is another drawback brought about by the somewhat reduced feature pack. There are many more values that can be customized in a music file like rating, publisher or author, to name a few, missing at this point.
The Truth
The overall feeling that this utility gives forth is of a good, solid and reliable instrument that can get the job done fast, not in great detail but affecting a satisfactory level of information. Once you ''treat'' the songs with Moo0 Mp3InfoEditor, you won't be disappointed because the most relevant data will make the MP3 files easier to catalog and identify using particular criteria. Now, go on and take it for a test run to see for yourselves just how useful this application can be!
Here are some snapshots of the application in action:

Great papers as always! I'm closing this thread, but you can continue posting your papers here.
This designer challenge will run the entire month of April. The goal is to make a paper a day. If you don't have time everyday to participate, that's okay; there will be wiggle room to play catch up. Everyday I will post a theme for you to use. Before we start you can give some thought to what color palette you would like to use and what you'd like to do with your finished product, which should be 30 papers. (Here's a link to my pinterest board for color palettes.)
In this thread you may post:
- Questions and comments on completing each paper theme.
- Finished papers and/or templates. You may of course post small thumbnail images if you are saving the finished product for something.
- I'll post a new thread each week so that things don't get too out of hand.
- Don't worry if you're behind or starting in the middle, feel free to share whatever you make.
April Paper a Day Challenge Week 1 Themes
Monday, April 8: Alphabet or Numbers
Tuesday, April 9: Painted
Wednesday April 10: Multiple Patterns
Thursday April 11: Border
Friday April 12: Scatter/Irregular Pattern
Saturday April 13: Start with a Photo

My name is Geraldo Barros, I'm computer instructor. My contribution is to distribute and promote products to Fedora, as well as providing tools and support to users in Brazil. For over 3 years I work with distributions, Fedora being one of the best!

During the talks the participants took their questions and often the difficulty of learning was visible and to maintain the good progress of the talks and that the instructor's goal was achieved it was necessary that the students had confidence in the teacher to productive classes follow.
Whenever questions arise for the students' instructor, and this should consider and not answer at the next meeting should bring the answer to which the participant is obliged to understand the question.
The classes were always revised from earlier so that students could better understand the content given.
There are reports and studies concerning the methods, techniques and methods of teaching, but this final step is that the practice actually shows us what it is for what we have learned the importance of our long years of study, as cited in Ruben Alves, "Skills are extensions of the body to carry out the desires" (Rubens Alves). "We acquire and build concepts and thoughts, we become more critical, reflexive and so politicized that we become responsible citizens with political and social education. Thus we have the capacity and awareness of these provision go over to our students throughout our careers. " "With the experience of teaching learned a lot, been in contact with different realities, but they lived very well."
With all my efforts, many participants could see and use to date Fedora.

What has the potential to increase from one to several million in just a few days? If you answered spider mites, you know all too well the reproductive capability of the pest that plagues many Delta cotton growers.
Effects of the pests can range from stippling of leaves to dead plants, or with heavy infestations, completely dead spots in a field.
"We'll spray for spider mites somewhere in the state every year," says Angus Catchot, entomologist for the Mississippi State University Extension Service. "But last year was a bad one, particularly in the south Delta. They hit really early in the season, and then when the summer heat and drought set in, they exploded. We sprayed 300,000 acres, which is almost unheard-of."
At grower meetings in northwest Mississippi recently, he said Delta growers averaged 1.5 spray applications for spider mites last year, those in the hills averaged one.
"In some cases, we were seeing as many eggs on plants as adults; there were so many, they were even on tops of the leaves. By early July, they had spread across the state. The true miticides and acaracides were the treatments of choice — moreso than the knockdown materials — and demand was so heavy that companies were running out of products weekly."
Mississippi applied for and got a 24c emergency use label for abmectin (Zephyr), "which got us out of a jam," Catchot says.
Spider mite reproduction is heavily influenced by temperature, he notes — at 60 degrees, a female spider mite may lay only 20 eggs; at 80 degrees, the number increases dramatically. The pest can go from egg to adult in five days or less, and a lone female has the potential to become millions over a period of several days.
"We found last year that we needed to revise our threshold level," he says. This year, the recommendation will be that when 40 percent to 50 percent of the plants in a field are infested, and the weather is hot and dry, treatment is warranted.
The problem with infestations like those in 2005, Catchot says, is that "growers don't want to spend that much money, $9 to $16 per acre, that early in the season. But in every case last year, those who made the decision not to treat made the wrong decision."
When weather conditions are conducive for rapid population increases, he says, "these early-season spider mites can cause serious problems, so don't delay in making a treatment.
"In such situations, the true miticides provide the best control. Good coverage is essential, so increase the spray volume and stay away from low-drift sprayer tips. With some products, two applications may be necessary."
