The Argento Ensemble’s “Mahler as New York Contemporary” series has been one of the high points of the current music season. The concerts juxtapose music from contemporary composers responding to Mahler with chamber versions of his orchestral works. The first two events have offered fine contemporary music and beautifully played and realized performances of Symphony No. 9 and Das Lied von der Erde.
This Thursday, the series continues with some intensely exciting modern music—Ligeti’s Cello Concerto, Kya by Giacinto Scelsi, and Matthias Spahlinger’s Furioso—alongside Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen in Schoenberg’s reduction, with soprano Sharon Harms. The suggested donation of $15 ($10 for students) is an incredible bargain.
The Argento Ensemble’s “Mahler as New York Contemporary III” takes place at Cary Hall/DiMenna Center, 7:30 p.m. Thursday. argentomusic.org

President of the World Boxing Council (WBC) Mauricio Suleiman spoke about the reaction of Saul “Canelo” Alvarez to the appearance of a special belt in a trilogy with Gennady Golovkin.
On September 17, competitors at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (Nevada, USA) will compete for the title of world champion in the second middleweight division, and the WBC president told about Alvarez’s acquaintance with the new special trophy – “Zapoteca belt”.
“He was excited when he saw the pictures because it’s extra motivation for him, I’m sure it will be a great fight and let the best boxer win,” Marca quoted Suleiman as saying. – I talked to Saul a couple of days ago and he was very excited and when I sent him some pictures he really liked them.
He’s very proud to represent Mexico and excited to win this belt because it’s a work of art.
Later, the WBC president added, that this special belt will be awarded to the winner of the epic #CaneloGGG third meet and that they are looking forward to this amazing matchup.

Hi everyone. Today I have a pretty card set I made using one of my new favorite ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Okay, so I think it’s a well know fact that I have much difficulty with the Clean and Simple style of card. BUT, I continue to try. You would think that CAS would be the easiest type of card to make, but apparently I just don’t know when to stop. I admire all of you who can pull off this style. It takes me hours to come up with a card and I break out in a cold sweat while doing so!
I actually don’t hate this set I came up with, but I have to admit that I’m itching to add a few dozen doo-dads to them along with about 6 or 7 additional layers. I think it’s a disease. hehehe
Here are some close-ups.
This card uses Sheer with Shimmery Edge Blue Ribbon
Did you know that Really Reasonable Ribbon offers gift subscriptions for 3, 6, or 12 months for our Monthly Ribbon Club? This is the perfect gift for a crafty friend because you can never have enough ribbon!! Your friend will get a fun little present each month for the term you select. AND, one of the cards above will go out with the first shipment with a personalized message from you. How cool is that?? Of course, if it’s for someone who has a birthday or other event to celebrate during the holidays, we will change the sentiment on the front of the card. You can order at any time and specify the starting month and when you want the first shipment to be sent out.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

A hovercraft provides the capability for emergency rescue teams to safely meet the extreme transitional surface challenges of land, water and ice. It gives emergency rescue crews the ability to reach victims in an emergency situation regardless of their location and the conditions of the lake and terrain.
Lake Winnipesaukee currently does not have a hovercraft available. There is a single airboat located in Tuftonborough. The addition of a single hovercraft is paramount to improve the ability to rescue victims.
So why don’t all rescue teams have access to these important safety vehicles? It's simply a limitation in access to resources. These rescue boats are expensive and also require personnel training to ensure safe handling.
Through the work of our foundation, we will provide Moultonborough with an Air Rider Hovercraft AR45 Search and Rescue vehicle. This will also include staff training directly with the manufacturers in Ontario, Canada. This effort could not be done without the cooperation of the Moultonborough Fire Chief and his staff.
The hovercraft will be maintained and managed by the Moultonborough Fire Rescue, but it will be a vital resource to all of the towns surrounding the lake. The Fire Rescue teams coordinate rescue resources across all 8 towns.
Want to know how the Fire Department plans to manage this important asset? Read the Q&A with Fire Chief Bengtson below.
Question: Where will the hovercraft be stored?
Answer: There are two fire stations, one at 948 Moultonboro Neck Road (next to JoJo’s Country Store) and the Public Safety Building located at 1035 Whittier Highway. It could be housed at either station, but it will most likely go to the Moultonboro Neck Road station as that sits it the in middle of the Lake Winnipesaukee area of town.
Question: When will the hovercraft be deployed?
Answer: It would be deployed for any ice/water rescue incident that Moultonborough is dispatched to or requested mutual aid for. When it becomes available as a resource, we would notify each fire department of a community (Alton, Gilford, Laconia, Meredith, Center Harbor, Tuftonboro, Wolfeboro) on Lake Winnipesaukee that the hovercraft is available to respond to any emergency on the Lake. It would be then up to that community to add it to their response cards or special request it. As members of the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid system, the hovercraft would be listed in the LRMFA resource list and could be made available to any one of the 38 member communities upon request as well as to NH Fish & Game and NH Marine Patrol.
Question: Who gets to make the call to deploy the hovercraft?
Answer: In Moultonborough, any fire department personnel can deploy any resource or apparatus of the department based upon the incident type or mutual aid request.
Question: During large event days, such as the Meredith Rotary Fishing Derby or The Pond Hockey Classic, will there be a plan to have the hovercraft out and on the ice proactively? If so, where will it be? patrolling?
Answer: Upon receiving the hovercraft, Moultonborough Fire Rescue would begin making regular patrols (weekly or daily dependent upon weather conditions) of the response areas on Lake Winnipesaukee to check ice conditions. This would serve two purposes, one to become better familiarized with the craft and secondly, and most importantly, to identify hazard areas of open water and thin ice conditions. For events like pond hockey, which are out of town, we would make it available and coordinate with the fire department there to fit their operational plans. For the ice fishing derby, it would be best to coordinate with NH Fish & Game and the other Winnipesaukee community fire departments on a resource deployment plan based upon the hazards known and placing the hovercraft in an area where it could be deployed quickly to address those hazards.

Revered celebrity photographer Arnaldo Magnani — whose passion and professionalism landed him countless exclusive shots over the years, many of which ran in The Post — has died at the age of 80.
The Italian-born Magnani immigrated to the United States in the 1960s and worked as a waiter, but his first love was always photography.
In the ’70s, he made the art his livelihood, embarking on a decades-long career that included snaps of some of Hollywood’s biggest names: Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep, to name just a few.
His gentlemanly demeanor and playful personality helped him forge rapports with both celebrities and the owners of the restaurants where they broke bread, including Le Cirque and Nello.
“His passion was extremely contagious . . . he was a gentleman,” said a close friend and fellow lensman.
“He was an absolute character,” said Post managing photo editor David Boyle. “He gave us hundreds of exclusives.”

Marvel's Avengers: Accessibility Review
The copy of the game used in this review was provided by Square Enyx at no cost to the reviewer.
Superheroes have been a great force for motivation and positive influence over the years. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a pop culture juggernaut the likes of which has never been seen before and Spider-Man's 2018 PlayStation outing was wildly successful. With Crystal Dynamics and Square Enyx's latest title, Marvel's Avengers, the focus isn't on the big screen portrayals of the popular comic book team but, in an understandable move, on an original story.
Like probably a large majority of people, I play videogames to immerse myself in new worlds and experiences, including being a superhero of some description. The question is, does Marvel's Avengers allow everyone, regardless of disability, to #EmbraceYourPowers?
After playing a demo of this title at EGX in London in 2019, where I needed sighted assistance, though thoroughly enjoyed throwing Mjolnir around where I could, I was granted the opportunity to play the beta both on PS4 and Xbox One.
Unfortunately, said beta, just weeks prior to the game's launch, had no accessibility features that would directly benefit gamers without sight, with those that might having limitations (such as target locking only having either "off" or "manual" as options.
So How Does The Launch Build Compare?
When I started the game, after a 50+GB download as well as a 9.9 GB patch, I wasn't sure what to expect, including in comparison to the beta. However, I was met with the same or similar screens that, as they weren't narrated, required Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to get through.
I had feared this game, before playing the beta, would include cursor-based navigation as the only mode of working with menus. However, I was pleasantly surprised that, even though the navigation audio cues were extremely quiet (such that they might as well be inaudible in places), I could use the DPad as well in the menus I tested.
That being said, once I'd got into the game after modifying some settings, including seeing an introductory cutscene that wasn't present during the beta, I still needed sighted assistance to navigate the environments and complete objectives. The movement, compared to something like The Last Of Us Part II, is comparatively simplistic, meaning that traversal assistance and objective cues have the potential, if added, to greatly improve the accessibility of this experience without sight.
If the amount of sighted assistance needed changes in the future, including for the multiplayer missions when I get to that point, I will endeavour to update this review.
Lock-on targeting has seen various implementations in a number of titles over the years, the most recent I've played being The last Of Us Part II. Whilst this game's version isn't as effective, it does still work (though there is no audio cue for entering a locked-on state). Fortunately though, it does seem to allow you to switch between targets quickly and take them out with relative ease, so I can only hope that this extends to the multiplayer when I am able to try that. It did only seem to function for light and heavy attacks though, as opposed to aimed ranged ones, which puts gamers without sight at a major disadvantage without assistance.
An Audio Description Dilemma
For a while now, audio description has been a talking point in the videogame industry, with several companies releasing audio described trailers. However, no game has yet added audio description to cutscenes or in-game events, with that being left to community efforts such as the #TranscribingGames Project.
Marvel's Avengers, however, presents a very interesting scenario which I've never seen before, described best by my sighted CoPilot during our time with the game's campaign: "The Closed Captions are describing things that any gamers who use them can already see. If these were narrated, it's pretty much audio description." Hopefully Square Enyx and Crystal Dynamics, developers of the title, realise this and look to see what avenues there might be for adding narration to this feature in future updates and improving on it so that everyone, regardless of their level of vision, can enjoy this story.
A cinematic score fitting of the Marvel universe and the story being told
Sound design that, at least for the most part, feels consistently impactful and well-scaled to each character.
Menus are navigable via the DPad, at least from what I've tested
Lock-on targeting that, though it's a little inconsistent, is definitely useful
An implementation of closed captions that is close to audio description, if it were narrated.
Single player missions are required to be completed before having access to the multiplayer component.
Lack of menu/UI narration of any kind
Though Marvel's Avengers is a great concept, with top-quality scoring, sound design and acting that fit the tone well, the unfortunate truth is that at the current time, gamers without sight will need sighted assistance to engage at all with this experience. I am disappointed that, in a game about uniting everyone as a positive force, there are going to be numerous gamers who are not included, at least not yet. I hope that Crystal Dynamics can learn from feedback that gamers without sight and other disabilities provide and, in time, allow anyone who wants to do so to embody any of the various characters that are available and enjoy what is a great Marvel gaming entry.

Brasilia (Fides Service) - Murder, death threats, lack of health care and education, delays in the regularization of land, exploitation of natural resources: this is the picture of the violence the indigenous people of Brazil are subjected to, according to the Report of the Indigenous Missionary Council (IMIC), which was presented yesterday at the headquarters of the Episcopal Conference of Brazil (CNBB). Each year the IMIC collects information on violence against indigenous people and the violations of human rights, threats to indigenous communities and against the isolated population. The editors of the Report note that unfortunately the situation of violence against these populations continues as or even worse than in the past when thousands of natives were decimated.
According to information received by Fides, during the presentation of the 2010 Report the anthropologist Lucia Rangel, who coordinated the work, pointed out some significant facts related to last year: 60 Indians were killed (it is the same figure that is repeated for the third consecutive year), 152 others were threatened with death, 15 were subjected to discrimination, racism and ethno-cultural acts, 27 were victims of attempted murder. 33 cases of invasions and illegal exploitation of natural resources on indigenous lands and damage to property were recorded, in addition to 49 cases of delays or omissions in the regularization of land. Also in 2010, 92 children under 5 years of age died due to lack of health care, whereas in 2009 they were 15.
According to the Coordinator of the 2010 Report "violence against indigenous people exists, but not much importance is given. It is clear that violence is a fact, and our goal is to denounce and inform the authorities".
The Secretary General of IMIC, His Exc. Mgr. Leonardo Ulrich Steiner, Bishop of the Prelature of São Félix, in Mato Grosso, who attended the presentation of the Report, highlighted the importance of the Church’s commitment for indigenous people "Our indigenous brothers and sisters deserve our respect and our admiration. They are the original people of this land, we are 'invaders', not them. I come from Mato Grosso, and it is inadmissible that the natives are discarded or excluded from our society as it is today, for this reason we will fight and we will always support IMIC and the indigenous cause in this country".

22. Social Media and Other Types of Marketing
Social media marketing is an inseparable part of modern business, due to the fact that no marketing strategy can be complete without it. To fully understand this, you need to recognize the connection between social media marketing and other types of online marketing.
Social media marketing and content marketing
These two types of marketing are closely linked as they complement each other. Content marketing refers to creating content that is supposed to attract and engage the audience. Content can be presented in various formats, such as blog articles, presentations, videos, e-books, etc. The main goal of content marketing is to get website visitors interested in your company, by offering something for free, regardless if it is tutorial, hangout, etc. In order to succeed in this approach, content has to be of high-quality, original and helpful.
After you create the content as a part of content marketing, you will need a medium to promote that content, so this is where you reach out to social media marketing. One of the best ways to promote your content is through your social media channels. Obviously, the benefits of such promotion will depend on the popularity of your social accounts.
Besides sharing content yourself, you should encourage your website’s visitors to share your content on their own social media accounts, which helps you with increasing the viral potential of the content. Social sharing buttons are usually used inside the content, such as the buttons at the top of the article, as a way to enable users to easily share the content they find interesting and helpful. The potential number of times the content is going to be shared is closely linked to the quality of the content, which is why we have stressed out the importance of developing and publishing high-quality content.
Content marketing greatly relies on the usage of social media for promotion, but social media marketing also counts on content marketing for providing content that is to be shared on regular basis in order to keep a social account active. Since being active and sharing quality content is an important part of social media marketing, using content developed as a part of content marketing strategy is crucial for having something to publish on your social media accounts. You can always share content from other blogs and websites, in order to keep the level of diversity and ensure that your followers are getting the most useful content you can find and recommend, but it is also important to share your own content, as this is the only way to get traffic to your blog or website, where you will get the chance to convert the visitors into clients.
Social media marketing and email marketing
Email marketing refers to establishing communication with prospective clients or advertisers via emails. The process of reaching people online is conducted through various email campaigns, where you can try to achieve numerous goals, such as trying to sell, announcing a discount in your store, asking for other websites to link to your website, etc. In each of these cases, regardless if you are trying to reach individuals or companies, you will need email addresses to establish this kind of communication.


I worked hand-in-hand with SWAT and believe that its primary mission is to save lives, yet I also agree with Balko's demand for more transparency and accountability from law enforcement. It is this lack of transparency that contributes to the notion that law enforcement has run amok.
If you're a longtime bike lover like me, you too will appreciate the ascendancy of your favorite two-wheeled vehicle as a new age of public transportation dawns upon our city. And if you do ride a bicycle in New York, hopefully you won't get thrown in jail like I did just a few months ago.
To say all police officers in New York City take advantage of their power and persecute people of color would be absurd, but to say that none of them do like Mayor Bloomberg suggested is equally absurd.
Every year since my retirement I have gone to the National Law Enforcement Memorial website to review deaths in the line of duty over the past year. Each time there are too many peace officers listed who died because of the drug war.
Since 2005, The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reports that social media played a key role in the recovery and conclusion efforts of 98.5 percent of cases through AMBER alerts, leading to 1,430 out of 1,451 children being found,
Despite the loud voice of the National Rifle Association (NRA), scholars, experts on school safety, and teachers overwhelmingly disagree with turning schools into armed camps rather than places of nonviolent positive learning.
In many ways, the seemingly furious debate over drones is yet another reaction to the pace at which technology washes over us. There is no doubt that drones raise legitimate legal issues, but it's just too easy to let our "privacy reflex" dominate and overwhelm the discussion.
At a time when the courts are increasingly giving deference to the police and prioritizing security over civil liberties, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Millbrook v. United States is a glimmer of hope in a sea of gloom.
Law enforcement is not blame for the actions of law-breaking addicts who are not receptive to drug treatment. You can only fault law enforcement for their inaction in protecting the public from this element.

Why Am I Having Brake Issues With My Car?
Brake problems can be daunting if you don't know what's causing them. Fear of the unknown causes anxiety. You have questions like: Will my brakes fail? Are they safe? Can I drive my car? Should I drive my car?
Here are five of the most common brake problems I run into, starting with the most serious. It's good to understand what the cause of your problem might be before a mechanic starts talking about the need to replace this or that.
If you don’t find your issue here, check out my article on brake noises, look through the comments at the end, or leave a comment yourself telling your story.
The Five Most Common Brake Problems
- Soft brake pedal
- Car pulls to one side
- Steering wheel shakes when brakes are applied
- Brake pedal pulses up and down
- Whole car shakes when brakes are applied
Continue scrolling to learn more about these common issues and their solutions.
Parts of the Brake System
In case these terms are new to you, real quick, I'll tell you that to stop the car, the master cylinder sends out fluid through tubes under pressure to drive a pincher (a “caliper”) that presses a “pad” or “shoe” against a metal disc (“rotor”) or drum. Most modern brakes have rotors; older ones have drums, especially in the rear.
1. Soft Brake Pedal
A soft brake pedal is a MAJOR brake issue. If your brake pedal feels squishy, "like stepping on a plum," and won't stop on the way down unless you pump it, or the brake pedal sinks to the floor with little or no resistance, you have a dangerous situation and should NOT drive any further! If you do, it could be a matter of minutes until you smash into something.
When the brake pedal gets soft or sinks to the floor, it's generally due to a leak in the braking system, most commonly the master cylinder leaking internally or externally.
The first thing you should do is check your brake fluid—look in your owner's manual to see how.
A master cylinder may fail in two ways: internally or externally. If the brake fluid reservoir is full and there are no signs of leaks, the problem is usually an internal problem that you can’t identify just by looking at the master cylinder. Don't drive the car in any case; there is something wrong with your brakes if the pedal is soft.
It's worth grabbing a flashlight and looking to see whether the master cylinder is leaking visibly. If it is, you should be able see the fluid on the carpet under your dash, just over your brake pedal. The pictures below show the master cylinder under the brake pedal.

2. Car Pulls to One Side When Braking
A car that pulls to one side can be annoying and also dangerous. This braking problem can be caused by several different things, even the tires (see below), but the most common cause is a frozen caliper. Over time, a caliper can freeze up gradually, a process that can go unnoticed for a long period of time.
One way a caliper can freeze up is by the piston on the caliper being stuck in its bore. If the dust boot that protects the piston from the elements gets torn, water and debris will penetrate the metal in the caliper and cause rust and corrosion. If the piston is stuck, and the fluid pressure can't push it back into the bore easily, the pressure on the pads will be uneven and the car will pull. To fix this problem you will need to replace the caliper.
Another possibility is that the pistons got bent, during a brake job or a car accident, and can't move freely anymore, causing the caliper to bind and limiting the amount of pressure to the pads.
The caliper can also freeze up if the caliper slide pins have lost lubrication because they have not been maintained properly. If the slide pins are your problem, they need to be cleaned and lubricated or replaced. You can buy an overhaul kit for calipers, but they are hard to find and your caliper may not be worth bringing back to life. Buying a new caliper may cost more but you will make up the cost with the time you save. Been there, done that!
Other Causes of a Pull to One Side When Braking
A faulty proportioning valve or master cylinder could also cause a pull to one side when braking; this is unusual but it does happen. Most braking systems work on a diagonal braking design for safety reasons; that is, the left front and right rear brakes work together and so do the right front and left rear. That way, if there is a leak in one part of the system, it should only affect one front brake and one rear brake. If this is what is going on, you need to identify and replace the faulty part.
A pull when braking may also have nothing to do with brakes. Bad front tires, or broken belts in a front tire, could cause it. Any pull caused by unevenly worn tires will be amplified when you step on the brakes. The tires' contact surfaces expand when you brake, thus putting more pressure on the bad tire and causing the pull to worsen. Replacing your tires will fix this, or you could try rotating your front tires to the rear of the vehicle.
3. Steering Wheel Shakes When Brakes Are Applied
This is a very common brake issue on all makes and models: when you’re driving at highway speeds and you apply your brakes, the steering wheel shakes.
There are many possible causes of this shaking, including the front rotors being warped, hot spots (slight irregularities) on your rotors caused by excessive heat, or pad impressions. If your car sits for long periods without moving, moisture from rain or high humidity causes your rotors to rust, except for the patch of rotor surface where the pads rest. This patch of uneven rotor surface is called a pad impression and will cause the brakes to pulsate.
This brake pulsation can be fixed very easily by having your rotors resurfaced (which is cheaper) or replaced (more expensive). You can resurface the rotors if they are still thick enough. Every rotor has a "minimum spec" for thickness, usually stamped on the rotor near the hub where the lug nuts are. The rotor needs to be measured at the thinnest point with a micrometer or vernier caliper to determine whether it can be resurfaced or not.
An intermittent noise when braking lightly, as in the video below, could also be related to an uneven surface on the rotors.
4. Brake Pedal Pulses Up and Down When Applying Brakes
If every time you apply your brakes, your brake pedal pulses up and down, the problem is usually caused by the rotors being warped or out of true. As rotors age, they go through the heating and cooling process thousands of times, so it's inevitable for them to lose their shape or trueness. If you do a lot of highway driving and you happen to be hard on your brakes, you will probably run into this problem many times in the life of your car.
The fix for this brake problem is simple: resurfacing the rotors, if they are still thick enough (see section 3 above), or replacing them if they are not. If you do either of these processes, and your brake pads are more than half worn, it’s worth it to just replace the pads at the same time for the peace of mind it will give you; pads wear out frequently (they are a consumable item) and you might as well deal with them while in the neighborhood.
5. Whole Car Shakes When Brakes Are Applied
If your whole car shakes when your brakes are applied, it could be just your rear brakes. As a rule of thumb, shaking caused by a problem in the front end of the car will be felt in the steering wheel, while shaking in the rear will seem to affect the whole car.
To determine if your rear brakes are the problem, you need to test them in isolation. One way to test your rear drum brakes is to apply the parking brake slightly while driving, because the parking brake uses the drum brakes in the rear. You can do this test if your emergency brake handle is near the center console and it is the style that you pull up with your hand.
Note: I don’t recommend pulling up on the emergency brake handle at high speeds, it can cause your rear brakes to lock up and send the vehicle into a spin causing death or serious injury!
To do this test, drive your car in a remote location with no traffic at a speed of about 30 miles an hour. Push and hold the release button on the end of the emergency brake handle; this is so the emergency brake does not lock into place and can be released easily. Meanwhile, pull up on the handle just enough to feel the rear brakes grab slightly. If your rear drums are the cause of the brake pulsation, you will feel the pulsation at this time, and the car will shake when the emergency brake is applied.
If this is your problem, then the fix is to resurface the rear drums or replace them. Again, you will have to measure the drums to determine if they can be resurfaced or not.
If you have rear disc brakes, this procedure may not work because some makes and models have a separate emergency brake, which is connected not to the rear rotor and caliper, but to a special drum inside the rear rotors with a separate braking system. If you have this type of rear braking system, it is almost impossible to isolate the rear brakes.
Hopefully this information will help you (and your mechanic) decide where to start when fixing your problem. When you are in a crisis situation like a brake problem, some mechanics will take advantage of the customer and over-sell the work that really needs to be done. There are only about nine evil mechanics in the world, they just move around a lot!

Questions & Answers
Question: What causes a brake pedal to depress all the way to the floor in a car?
Answer: There are a few options to look at here. The master cylinder is leaking, low brake fluid, brake line leaking, frozen caliper slide pins, frozen caliper piston, leaking caliper, etc...
Question: Will a bad master cylinder cause the calipers to stick? I put new calipers, rotors and rubber lines on a couple of months ago and now the calipers stick sometimes.
Answer: Most likely your caliper is defective, if it were the master it would most likely be more then one brake caliper sticking.
Question: A year and a half ago (from 78,000 to 88,000 miles), I had the whole brake system replaced, i.e., pad, rotor, and lines. The mechanic is now telling me I need all of those parts replace again. Is this possible?
Answer: No, you should really look for a new mechanic, pads maybe if you drive a ton of miles in stop and go traffic or you're a mail carrier, lines are rarely replaced.
Question: What if your car is going through brake fluid fast and your brakes don't want to work?
Answer: This means that you have a leak in the system and you most likely have air in the brake lines. I recommend having all the brake lines, calipers, and the master cylinder checked for leaks. I highly recommend having your car towed; this is a very dangerous situation, and the problem needs to be fixed before the car is driven.
Question: I just had brakes and rotors done two months ago on my vehicle. Now I have loud grinding sounds coming from the front left tire. Is this a caliper or could it be a blockage in the brake hose?
Answer: The grinding sound may be something caught between the backing plate and rotor. I recommend having this area of the brakes inspected first.
Question: My Chevrolet 2006 has some braking problems. The steering wheel vibrates all the time and always veers to the left. When I apply the brakes, especially downhill, I feel the brake pedal presses itself more than I do. Sometimes, though not very often, the brakes won't work, and it sounds like it's grinding for one or two seconds. When that happens, I release the brakes and apply them again super fast. Can you help me understand where the problems are and what I should repair or replace?
Answer: The first thing you need to do is remove all four wheels and inspect all caliper slide pins, pistons, and brake pads and shoes. It sounds to me like some components aren't moving freely and are getting stuck causing the pulling and noises. If you don't know what to look for, have a mechanic who knows what they are doing and are reputable to inspect the brakes.
Question: Sometimes when I apply the brakes, the pedal of my SUV goes very low before stopping completely. Other times it is fine. What can cause this?
Answer: The most likely cause is a caliper sticking, either it's the piston or slide pins. Regardless, I recommend having a thorough brake inspection by an experienced mechanic.
Question: My car has power brakes and used to stop on a dime. Recently it takes longer to stop and I really have to put a lot of pressure on the brake pedal to come to a complete stop. What's up with that?
Answer: There are quite a few possibilities for this problem. Brake fade is when the brake fluid is contaminated, so it causes a soft brake pedal, air in the lines, leaking master cylinder, frozen or seized caliper pins or piston, worn out pads, and glazed rotors. I recommend having a thorough brake inspection by removing all calipers and inspecting all moving parts of each caliper, if everything looks good, examine the hydraulic part of the system.
Question: Only one wheel brakes on my 2000 Acura. I replaced master cylinder already. What could be the issue?
Answer: Is your abs light on? It's possible your ABS module is no good.
Question: The brakes on my new O4 Ford Explorer are dragging. What is the cause?
Answer: I recommend checking the brake light switch, it may be out of adjustment and applying a little pressure to the brake pedal. Or it's possible your brake booster push rod is out of adjustment. Check and make sure there is free play at the top of the brake pedal after driving and braking for a while, if there is no free play, something is out of adjustment.
Question: What makes a car's disc brakes drag hard after a 15-minute drive?
Answer: The brake fluid temperature rising and pressure building in the brake system. Sometime a misadjusted brake light switch can cause this, a blockage in a line, a frozen caliper slide pin, or a caliper piston will not more freely are all likely causes.
Question: My brakes squeak only when I back up. What do you think the problem might be?
Answer: Either the brake pads need to be replaced, or you could try shaving off the leading rear edge of the brake pad at a 45-degree angle and see if that helps.
Question: My car won't start unless I press really hard on the brakes. Why is this?
Answer: I don't think it has anything to do with the brake, try starting it without doing that and see what happens.
Question: My rear inner pads wear down faster than the outer ones. Is it a caliper problem?
Answer: It could be a sticking caliper piston, slide pins, or the pads could be corroded in the caliper preventing them from moving freely. You'll need to remove the caliper and inspect all moving parts to diagnose the problem. Be sure to remove the pad shims from the caliper and check for any rust under the shims as rust can cause the pads to bind.
Question: Can it be the brake pads?
Answer: Yes, brake pads can cause problems for brakes on a car.
Question: The brakes on my 2010 Lexus ES brakes kick back when turning the steering wheel. What are possible causes?
Answer: It sounds like you may have an ABS sensor not reading properly or maybe a damaged ABS sensor wire? The ABS is what kicks the brake pedal back, so most likely it has something to do with the ABS system.
Question: I had problems with my brakes grinding and pulling to the right when braking. I changed the brake pads, but that didn't help much. I replaced the brake pads again, both calipers and rotors. When I bled the lines, the driver side brake fluid wouldn't come down. The master cylinder seems to be okay. What do you think it might be?
Answer: It is most likely either a blockage in the line or a worn brake master cylinder. If you were to remove the line at the master cylinder and at the caliper, could you blow compressed air through it? Be careful with brake fluid; it is very corrosive when it gets on paint.
Question: I have a 99 Honda Civic EX. Why is there a rear knocking noise from the drums when applying the brakes?
Answer: You have a rear knocking noise from the drums because your shoes are being pulled away from the backing plate and snapped back into place by the spring clips. You could try having a fine cut done to the brake shoe surface of the drums and lightly sand them after the cut, or replace the drums.
Question: Does an emergency brake in a car not work after an accident?
Answer: It all depends on where you got hit, where the emergency brake is located and if you have electronic emergency brakes.

Parliament will approve the two names for the Constitutional Court on Monday, even though the President has suspended the selection of the name for which he is responsible.
During his speech at the Socialist Party meeting “You Choose”, where the candidates for delegates were presented at the SP congress, the Socialist Party Parliamentary group chair, Taulant Balla promised, among other things, that before Christmas, the Electoral Reform would be completed, while stressing that the Socialist Party representatives would be elected in an electronic vote.
“We will conclude the Electoral Reform by Christmas and the OSCE/ODIHR package on Electoral Reform will pass to the Assembly for implementation to be ready for the June 2021 elections.
“We need to change the rules regarding the financing of political parties. Albanian justice has proven that, unfortunately, a political party has falsified its funding statements. This is a grave act,” said Balla.
Balla reiterated that measures against illegal financing of parties and the influence of foreign states should be strengthened, linking this to the opposition leader who is expected to be summoned by the Court.
The Minister of State for Relations with Parliament, Elisa Spiropali, demanded more commitment from delegates to move to a third term.
“In January we expect to have an extraordinary process with all the new entries to elect the Assembly and the governing bodies.
“That's half the work we need for our third term in 2021, with Edi Rama as Prime Minister and SP as the majority. This mandate is important to continue on our path. Any turning back would be not just harmful, but fatal, for Albania,” said Spiropali.
The Mayor of Tirana's Municipality, Erion Veliaj, spoke with some irony in relation to the opposition regarding the dates of National Holidays, while stressing that the contribution of the Martyrs should be appreciated.
“I know from my work, the Prime Minister has shown me some of his work, and I'm sure ministers and MPs, it's harder to govern without opponents.
“When the opposition was present, however destructive, however stubborn, however defamatory, it was nevertheless a force of pressure,” said Erion Veliaj.
“In my experience, it also made it easier for me to see where we had errors in the borough or things that could be improved that were probably off the radar.
“When you don't have that, you have to be your own team's critic. Because if we leave this vacuum and do not reflect on what we can do better, then we will fall into a trap of complacency. So the task of the delegates is to make us opposition too,” added Veliaj.
The Socialist Party will elect their delegates throughout the 362 centers in Albania and abroad under the slogan “You Choose” on November 16th.

This course of could also be simple for some and tough for others; it often will depend on how heavily you’ve been consuming cannabis and whether or not you were doing so for medical purposes. Osiecki, of Coventry, later pleaded guilty to harmful driving, driving with cannabis in his system and having no licence or insurance coverage. The free movement of safe and effective herbals medicines all through the world will bring better standards of residing by enhancing capability building in developing international locations, enhance healthcare and promote WHO’s objective of “health for all.” Harmonization of herbal health claims is achievable just for those herbal medicines having sufficient scientific knowledge to help the claims of safety and therapeutic efficacy. Over the past decade, herbal medicine has change into a topic of increasing world importance, having repercussions on both world well being and international trade. In 1998, the National Institutes of Health established the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, an expansion of the previous Office of other Medicine, with a 2002 analysis finances of greater than $100 million. 1993 and 1998, MacLennan et al. In Chile the Unidad de Medicina Tradicional was established in 1992, with the purpose of incorporating herbal medication with established efficacy into well being programs (Law No. 19.253, October 1993). Directive No. 435/eighty one defines herbal medicine with therapeutic proposed claims and/or dosage suggestions as being medications, restricted from being sold in drugstores and pharmacies.
World harmonization of herbal well being claims is inevitable and fascinating from each an economic and medical standpoint. The situation is even more precarious in many growing international locations, where regardless of the great number of traditionally used herbal medicines and much empirical data about their use, there are very few legislative standards that can be employed to include historically used herbal medicines into national drug policies (WHO-TRM 1998). Thus, in each industrialized and creating nations, the assurance of high quality, safety and efficacy has now grow to be a key issue (WHO-TRM 1999). Careful scientific analysis of security and efficacy is crucial earlier than herbal medicines could be officially included into primary healthcare methods and before there can be global acceptance of their health advantages. There may be several reasons for this discovering. In an era of increasingly detailed molecular research of drug mechanisms, the investigation of the properties of crude herbal extracts may seem a step again in time. While depression and anxiety are commonly researched, the efficacy of herbal medicines in different psychological disorders requires attention. Lastly, the pattern in the domestication, manufacturing and biotechnological studies and genetic enchancment of medicinal plants, as a substitute of the usage of plants harvested in the wild, will provide nice benefits, since it is going to be potential to acquire uniform and prime quality uncooked materials that are fundamental to the efficacy and security of herbal medication.

Electrical appliances with a permanently attached plug cannot be easily sold across markets or used in different countries because of incompatible wall sockets. Instead, appliances must be adapted to accommodate different plugs used around the world.
Detachable appliance couplers are one way of countering this problem. An appliance coupler enables the connection and disconnection of an electric device to the power supply by providing the power supply connector (plug) on one end with a standardized connector to the appliance on the other. By detaching the country-specific power cord, it is possible for manufacturers to sell the same product in different countries by only replacing the power supply cord set.
The IEC has published a fourth edition of IEC 60320-1 which provides the general requirements for the safety and interchangeability of appliance couplers used for household and similar general purposes. According to Charles Kurten, Chair of the subcommittee which developed the standard (IEC SC 23G), “This new edition remains a cornerstone to interconnect electrical equipment using a common connection platform globally.”
A commented version (CMV) of the official standard is available to allow for the easy identification of changes made compared to the previous edition (3.1). It also includes comments from the experts who developed the standard to explain the reasoning for the changes.
Understanding the technical revisions
Compared with the previous edition, the updated standard has introduced necessary tolerances and changes for better readability throughout the document. Tests such as those for glow wire, heating, lateral pull for connectors and plug connectors with separate front parts and ball pressure have been either added or revised. A new annex with additional tests and requirements for appliance couplers intended to be used in ambient temperatures above +35 °C has also been included.
As the Secretary of the subcommittee, Ingvar Eriksson notes, “This new edition will serve the growing market for appliance couplers used in higher ambient temperatures very well. We expect interest to be high for applications such as data centres.”
The first edition of IEC 60320-1 was published in 1970.

SAN DIEGO, May 30, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- California attorney Robert G. Scurrah is continuing to challenge the California State Bar Association's effort to effectively shutter his services that benefit California homeowners and taxpayers.
Mr. Scurrah, who has been a practicing California attorney for the past 35 years, operates a very successful law practice which has helped to save 3,500 homeowners from losing their homes, and has conservatively saved $67 million in foreclosure related costs for local communities. He is suing the California State Bar in Superior Court as he tries to stave off its attempt to stop him from helping California homeowners through his loan modification services. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of California homeowners are still struggling to stay in their homes as they look to modify their troubled loans.
The California Bar has not charged Mr. Scurrah with fraud, but wants to suspend him based on claims that he violated a state law (SB 94 - 2009) by billing in stages for his services. Mr. Scurrah has offered undisputed testimony at his disciplinary hearing that the Bar expressly stated that it had found no impropriety with these same billing practices, but it is now prosecuting him for the same conduct it had previously advised him was proper. His lawyers have argued, including in their latest filing presented to the Bar Court on Tuesday that his loan modification practice complies with the 2011 interpretations of S.B. 94 by both the State Bar and the California Office of Attorney General, and is lawful.
Mr. Scurrah, a graduate and active alumnus of San Diego State University, is supported in his legal battle by testimonials of well-respected attorneys and by affidavits of clients and others who have directly or indirectly benefited from his services. Many are veterans living in the greater San Diego area, including Paul Denyer.
Mr. Denyer, a Veteran and Southern Californian, stated in an affidavit that but for Mr. Scurrah's representation on behalf of his son, an active-duty member of the military, his son would not only have lost his house but also his security clearance.
"Mr. Scurrah saved our son's home and quite possibly his career," said Mr. Denyer. "I can't imagine that he is the kind of lawyer the legislature had in mind when it passed S.B. 94 to crack down on predatory loan modification practices. Instead, he's the model of how to do a loan mod the right and ethical way."
Mr. Scurrah and his attorneys, including Mark N. Zanides, Esq., of Santa Ana, California, often note that California is the only state in the U.S. that prohibits loan modification lawyers from billing for services after they are performed but before the entire modification process is concluded.
In his civil action (Scurrah v. State Bar of California et. al., Sup. Ct. Orange County, Case No. 30-2012-00595756) he maintains that the State Bar's position is legally wrong, unconstitutional, and anti-homeowner. Tuesday's filing by Mr. Zanides, which includes a case chronology, also details how the State Bar's action constitutes interference with Mr. Scurrah's right to freely engage in commerce and protect embattled homeowners from foreclosure. Mr. Scurrah's Center (Consumer Debt Advocate Law Center), which has documented an 88.7% success rate in modifying loans, does not charge clients for an initial screening, and transparency is built into every stage of the process.
Widely regarded consumer advocate and law school Prof. Robert Fellmeth at the University of San Diego School of Law, and Executive Director of Center for Public Interest Law, may also be contacted to discuss this case regarding its public interest impacts. He can be reached at (619) 260-480 / [email protected]
Media coverage is neither encouraged nor discouraged by this case update. For more, you may wish to visit the public docket or contact Attorney Mark N. Zanides at 949 545 6526 on behalf of Attorney Scurrah.

Amir Johnson certainly doesn’t lack confidence.
Standing at the free throw line with two foul shots to win a game, all the Raptor big man could think was that the game was in the bag.
No worrying about form, no attention being paid to the circumstances, no thoughts of the enormity of the task.
“What I was thinking was … we’re going to win this game, I’m going to make these free throws,” Johnson said of his foul shots with 2.7 seconds left that lifted the Raptors to a stunning 102-101 win Sunday over the Boston Celtics. “That’s all I knew.”
Not bad considering it was less than a year ago that coaches would have been deathly afraid of that same situation and likely would have nailed Johnson to the bench in the dying seconds of a close game because of his inability to make free throws.
Coming into this season, the 23-year-old Johnson was an atrocious free-throw shooter, making just 64 per cent of his attempts in the 2009-10 season.
But through hard work and consistent coaching, the 6-10 forward is now the best free-throw shooter on the team, hitting at a 90 per cent clip.
“Coach English,” Raptors head coach Jay Triano said immediately when asked the reasons for Johnson’s stunning turnaround. “Alex has spent time with him and has been on him since he first came to the Raptors about his free-throw shooting.
“He really got into the form about it and credit coach English but Amir put in the time and worked on it.”
The win that Johnson sealed was about as improbable as him making foul shots to do it. The Raptors simply outworked the Celtics for most of the afternoon, did not cower when they got down three with 21.3 seconds remaining and executed nearly flawlessly down the stretch.
After a Sonny Weems drive and layin got them within one with 18.8 seconds left, they eschewed common coaching philosophy that says to foul immediately and instead forced Boston’s Ray Allen to cough up the ball.
And rather than calling their own timeout to let Boston set its defence, they got Leandro Barbosa flying along the baseline, and when he missed a shot, Johnson was there to fight for the rebound and get fouled.
“Our guys played real gutsy, we didn’t give them anything real easy,” said Triano. “I think we made a couple of mistakes defensively and Ray got free for a couple of threes there that got them back in the game … but I thought to a man we made them work for everything.”
Reduced to just an eight-man rotation because the newly-acquired Jerryd Bayless and Peja Stojakovic are not yet in town, the Raptors got 29 points from Andrea Bargnani, 17 from Johnson and 16 from Weems.
The most significant thing may have been how well the Raptors finished the game.
Toronto led by 12 with nine minutes left — the biggest lead of the season — but let it slip entirely away. Allen tied the game with about four minutes left, leading to a Toronto timeout, and put the Celtics up by three on their next possession. Other Raptors teams might have folded right then.
“I said, ‘We have a four-minute game against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, let’s play a four-minute game. It’s tied; you guys have to believe in yourselves,’” said Triano.
“They do. It’s three (wins) in a row now and they have to start believing that they are a pretty good basketball team.”


WETHERSFIELD -- The Wethersfield Police Department is mourning the loss of a K9 who died after he was injured in the line of duty. Thor died Tuesday night as a result of injuries he sustained chasing a kidnapping suspect Monday.
Before his death, Thor was involved in a search for a suspect, but police lost sight of both Thor and the suspect for quite some time.
When they did find Thor, about two hours later, he was injured and taken to the vet. Thor collapsed and died shortly after his handler arrived at the vet Tuesday.
According to Wethersfield Police Chief James Cetran, Thor died from an injury to his side. An ultrasound was done to determine his cause of death, but a necropsy will not be done.
The injury was sustained either by a kick or fall.
"He was one of ours and this is a tough time for the entire department," said Chief Cetran.
The situation all started Monday evening when a woman arrived at the police station and said her daughter had been kidnapped. Police went to a nearby Motel 6 where they located the suspect and the chase began. Hartford police are also involved in the case.
Police warn that the suspect is armed and still on the loose. They believe they have identified him, and are applying for a warrant for his arrest to charge him with violation of a protective order and interfering with police. Additional charges could be added in light of Thor's death.
The department wrote a message about Thor on their Facebook page:
It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Wethersfield Police K-9 Officer Thor. K-9 Thor passed away last night as a result of injuries he sustained in Monday's foot pursuit of a kidnapping suspect. We will begin making formal arrangements to honor our fallen brother and will post the specifics once finalized. Our deepest condolences remain with Officer Nuno Martins and his family during this difficult time, just as K-9 Thor’s courage in deeds will remain in our hearts. Sergeant Jennie Rivera, Canine Unit Supervisor.
Thor had been with the department for about two years, and was one of just two K9s with the Wethersfield Police Department. A ceremony will be held to honor his death in the line of duty.


The Canadian Centre for Food Integrity will use social media to show the public the different parts of the value chain
The grocery store has become more important than ever during the COVID-19 lockdown. Canadians are trying new recipes, baking bread and discussing what’s available at the store and what’s missing.
These millions of conversations make it an opportune time for the agri-food industry to talk to Canadians about farming and the food system.
That’s why the Canadian Centre for Food Integrity is developing a national communications campaign, which will be launched this spring.
“There is a lot of messaging going out from different organizations and different provinces, talking about their individual sector and what they’re doing,” said John Jamieson, president of the CCFI, which has the mission of helping Canada’s food system earn trust.
“But there’s really no co-ordinated message.”
The centre hopes to fill that void by focusing on three goals:
- Engage Canadians around food during this critical time.
- Help Canadians better understand the food system and food supply chain.
- Unite folks from across the food sector from farmer to meat cutter to truck driver.
“To help people understand that the food system is a whole bunch of parts that work together to end with something on (your) plate,” said Jamieson, who joined the centre last year. Previously, he was deputy minister of agriculture and fisheries in Prince Edward Island and executive director of the P.E.I. Federation of Agriculture.
“To tell Canadians, you know what? There are 2.1 million people who work in the food system in Canada, and they’re all doing their best to put food on the table.”
A key part of the communication campaign will be videos created by people who work in the agri-food sector. They don’t need to be slick or highly produced — authenticity is more important.
Examples would include videos of a grain farmer in Saskatchewan explaining who she is and what she does, of someone who works at an Ontario feed mill and of a seed salesperson in Alberta.
“There’s a whole bunch of pieces in (the food value chain) that the average Canadian wouldn’t understand,” Jamieson said.
“We want to put a face on those pieces.”
Anyone who wants to submit a video can send it to email@example.com.
The centre has already collected videos, developed a website and is building channels to share the message with Canadians.
“It will be primarily social media based,” Jamieson said.
“That’s where most get their information these days.”
Social media can be an effective way to tell a story, but it’s difficult to change minds with Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat. Farm organizations and commodity groups have been using social media for years to connect with the public. So far, the results are iffy.
Public opinion about issues such as pesticides, antibiotics and genetically modified foods really hasn’t budged.
One of the weaknesses of Twitter and other platforms is that they’re echo chambers. People follow like-minded messengers and ignore the rest.
People in the agricultural sector are no different.
“I’m on Twitter … and farmers talk to themselves,” Sylvain Charlebois, a professor with Dalhousie University, said last year.
“Whenever I see a post from a farmer, I see a lot of likes and a lot of re-tweets from other farmers…. That message is not going out (to the public).”
A co-ordinated social media effort from the CCFI could bridge the communications gap between the agri-food sector and Canadians who live in downtown Vancouver or a Toronto suburb.
However, this isn’t a short-term campaign.
The centre hopes it will be a springboard that leads to a larger conversation with Canadians about food and farming.
“As we go down the road and we come out of this pandemic, have a deeper discussion around … this is why the food sector uses science and technology, to provide you with safe and wholesome food,” Jamieson said.
“This is our real impact on climate change. And this is what we’re doing to mitigate climate change.”
Part of that could be television ads if centre members are willing to contribute the necessary funds.
“Once (we) have the platform built … I will be reaching out to organizations and companies,” Jamieson said.
“We have pieces of the puzzle that (could be) a national TV ad, for example.”
The centre has created a tag line for its communication strategy, which will be revealed this spring when the organization officially launches the campaign.

Geoponics sits down with Superintendent Tim Haskins of The Quarry in North Naples, Florida to discuss the fast results he experienced with the Geganics Program. Geganics gets its name from combining the words organic and Geoponics. The Geganics Program provides sustainable turf fertility with moisture management, nutrients and several other benefits.
Learn about Geoponics products with this one-page product guide to get started.
Geoponics: Tim, can you tell us a bit about The Quarry?
Tim Haskins: The Quarry is nestled in about 830 acres of preserves. We have about 320 acres of lakes out here—the big thing being the 275-acre stone lake, which is kind of our center piece of the property. It was actually a working Quarry back in the day. So we actually have a crane that was left on one of our holes in the back that kind of pays homage to what was here in the past.
We have a great amenities center. We have our own beach. We built our own beach here on that lake. So we actually have a beach club on the other side of our club house, which houses all our tennis facilities, fitness and a restaurant over there. It’s a great amenity for the members that live here. All the members, all the residents that are connected to that lake have boat docks. So, they have the ability to boat out here.
The golf course is designed by Hurdzan-Fry. We’ve hosted the past two years of the ACE Group Classic.
Geoponics: What type of turf does the course have?
Tim: We are wall-to-wall SeaDwarf Seashore Paspalum.
A bit about SeaDwarf Seashore Paspalum:
• SeaDwarf® Seashore Paspalum needs low fertilizer, low nitrogen and can be treated for weeds with table salt. This saves time and money and helps the environment by putting much fewer chemicals into the ecosystem.
• Requires up to 50 percent less water than bermudagrass.
• Can be irrigated with recycled water.
• Has much less nitrogen run-off than many other turfgrasses because less nitrogen is used for fertilization.
Geoponics: Has the turf always been this way or was that a change?
Tim: That was from the get-go. The developer looked at it as a great tool for environmental sensibility. The attributes of Paspalum, requiring less water, less fertility really hit home with the theme they wanted to go with by trying to be as sustainable as we could be. So, that was the first step, choosing that turf.
Geoponics: How did you first discover Geoponics?
Tim: Really it was just a cold call. Somebody came in. We sat down. Certainly I liked the products. I liked what the sales representative had to say. He had really good information, great back up. It was really nice because at that time it was a situation where he said, “Ya know, I’m not trying to sell you anything today, but let’s try some products out here.”
I’ve got a lot of products out here that I try and I just never got to see the results that I’ve seen with Geoponics products.
Geoponics: When you learned about Geoponics products, given the type of turf you are using, did you think it was a good fit?
Tim: It wasn’t really about the turf. It was more about the soil and what was here before we put the turf on it. Because having been a quarry and sort of abandoned land, the soil really wasn’t sweetened so to speak. So, you know, we struggled for the first couple years with a lot of moisture management issues, disease issues. Paspalum is famous for disease pressure. So, it was more about how we can better the golf course as a whole, not just the turf. Obviously, at the end of the day, the turf benefits from it, but unless you have a good soil structure and you’re doing everything you need to do under the ground versus on top of the ground, you’re never going to win.
Geoponics: You said Paspalum is susceptible to disease, what are some of the diseases you’ve had to deal with?
Tim: For the first couple of years dollar spot was really bad. I worked really closely with the Geoponics rep. Paspalum, because of the density of the turf, really holds a lot of moisture. What was happening was we just couldn’t get that moisture to flush through and being able to work with Geoponics gave me the ability to flush it down so nothing was sitting up on top.
The other real big disease I have is Rhizoctonia (also called brown patch) and we’re still working on that one. Moisture management is a big part of everything.
Typically, it’s yellow rings. You start to see thinning of the turf. If you don’t catch it fast enough, obviously death to the turf.
Sometimes we get these wet, cloudy days with high humidity, high temperatures, you know, you’re just praying for sunlight. Anything we can do to alleviate those conditions and strengthen the turf, that’s what we’re trying to do.
Geoponics: You’re now using the Geganics Program on your fairways, right? As a superintendent, can you share with us what changes took place?
Tim: Again, I was a little leery at first about the whole program. When you’re sitting here talking to someone, it makes sense, but until you actually get out in the field and see it work. I can tell you that after spraying that I was on the phone going “Wow. I’ve never seen anything like that.”
The program, with the moisture management in there, I’ve seen less peaks and valleys with hot spots and that sort of thing. There are two products that I change, Penterra and HydraHawk. When it’s the summer and we’ve got heavy rains, I’ll stay with the Penterra to push water through. Versus, say in the winter time, when we’re in kind of dry conditions, I’m using HydraHawk to actually hold more moisture in there. So, it’s nice to have that flexibility, but the fertilizer part of it. I’ve used a lot of different products.
Paspalum is famous for its dark green color. I mean it looks like you’ve overseeded out here in the winter time and I’ve never seen too many products have an affect on color and this product did. It’s noticeable within an hour or two. My members see a noticeable change.
I’m in a much better spot this year from last year in terms of my color, my density, my moisture management.
When I do have situations where an irrigation head doesn’t come on and we don’t notice it right away—because really until it starts to brown out you really don’t know. It’s quicker to recover than it normally would be. So a lot of pluses with the Geganics program.
We’re getting three or four weeks out of the longevity of the color, which is fantastic. Last year, we actually used a pigment on the fairways just to add a little bit of color. We won’t have to use that this year because of the program. There’s no reason for it.
Geoponics: It seems like you’re very pleased with the Geganics Program. How do you feel about the service you’re receiving from Geoponics?
Tim: The service has been great. From day one, again, I’m not a big fan of cold calls, but for that representative to come in and give me the information that I needed, for me it’s nice. He’s available almost 24/7. There’s not a time where I’ve picked up the phone or shot an email or a text and haven’t gotten some kind of a response. Sometimes just stopping by. It’s been fantastic, just the information, the knowledge that the representative has is key when you’re out there looking at a problem. It’s not a situation where the representative will just spout out something if he doesn’t know. He’s very honest. He’ll say “give me a day let me research this. Let me find out because I’m not 100 percent sure. I know I’ve got a product for you, but I’m just not sure which one.” So, it’s not your typical “I’m just trying to sell you something.”
They’re more interested in making the product work to everyone’s advantage than just selling a product.
Geoponics:Anything I didn’t ask that you think might help other superintendents and turf managers in addressing their challenges or understanding this program?
Tim: Every golf course is different. Microclimates are really different from hole one to hole three. It’s just the way it is.
I think if superintendents are really looking into moisture management and the new sustainability issues that are out there with the issues we have with water restrictions it’s only going to get worse. Superintendents really have to start planning now instead of later and these products will work. There are tons of products out there. For me though, these products really work. I haven’t seen the results with other products that I’ve seen with this. So, it’s highly recommended. I don’t see me getting off it anytime soon. It’s not to say I won’t try other things to see if they may work, but why mess with something that works?
Sustainability and water management are just going to be huge and it’s not starting next year. It started two years ago so we have to be proactive and get on the proverbial band wagon if you may.

United States men’s national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann has settled on his 23-man roster for the CONCACAF Gold Cup next month.
Graham Zusi is in.
Matt Besler is out.
Zusi was chosen to the U.S. roster for the tournament, which runs July 7-26 and includes a U.S. national team match at Sporting Park on July 13. Also, Sporting KC defender Marcel de Jong was chosen to Canada’s national team for the Gold Cup, which serves as the CONCACAF regional championship.
If Zusi appears in a match during the tournament, it will mark his first action with the national team in 2015.
“It’s exciting. It’s been awhile since I’ve been with that group, and I’ve been working hard to get back in,” Zusi said. “It’s tough being on the outside looking in, but I think this is a great opportunity to get back into the fold.”
He won’t be joined by his longtime Sporting KC teammate.
After being a fixture with the Americans for the better part of the past two-plus years — a stint that included starts in all four 2014 FIFA World Cup matches — Besler was left off the roster Monday.
Besler, 28, is enjoying one of his best MLS seasons to date, and despite a plethora of injuries along the Sporting KC back line, the club has posted four shutouts over its past five matches.
He will remain eligible for the knockout stage of the Gold Cup, should Klinsmann opt to add him for the tournament’s quarterfinals.
Zusi will join the national team Sunday for its pre-tournament camp. He will miss Sporting Kansas City’s Open Cup match against FC Dallas on July 1 and as many as three MLS regular-season matches.
But he won’t be a stranger to Sporting Park. The call-up could allow him to represent his country in front of his home crowd.
Sporting Park will play host to the Group A finale on July 13, with the U.S. facing Panama at 8:30 p.m. That match will be preceded by Honduras and Haiti at 6 p.m.
In a World Cup qualifier at Sporting Park in 2013, Zusi scored the U.S. national team’s first goal during a 2-0 victory against Jamaica.
“I consider myself extremely lucky to play at Sporting Park on a weekly basis. It’s special to do it with the national team, as well,” Zusi said. “It feels slightly different to be representing your national team, but doing it at home, it’s a really neat feeling. I’m extremely excited to do it again.”
A series of injuries have kept Zusi out of the national team picture since last October. He spent the MLS offseason recovering from a stress reaction in his foot, and he has missed time this season with a hamstring strain and a concussion. He has one goal and four assists across 12 appearances with Sporting KC this season.
“The past few weeks, I’ve been healthy. It’s as simple as that,” Zusi said. “I’ve found my fitness as well.”

After seeing post about this author, I'd like to get a couple of her books. Where should I start? I've seen threads about different series. Which is best and what is the order for each series? Thanks.
I like Tess. She has some stand alone novels (Harvest, Life Support, Bloodstream).
Her series with Maura Isles and Jane Rizzoli is in this order:
1. The Surgeon
2. The Apprentice
3. The Sinner
4. Body Double
6. The Mephisto Club
Her newest novel The Bone Garden, is also a stand alone I believe.
Hope this helps!
I am a big fan of Tess Gerritsen. Her Jane Rizzoli/Maura Isles series is the best! I started with The Surgeon and I was hooked..I couldn't put it down! Then I went on a frenzy to get every book in the series that came out, needless to say, I have read all of them except some of her Romance Books ( My husband bought them for me but just havent gotten that far through my books yet!) I would say GO FOR IT!!!! Start with The Surgeon, you will not be disappointed! I hope that you enjoy them as much as I have!
I read Life Support a ways back and really enjoyed it. Since it has been sitting on my shelf for too long, I just loaned it to my mother to read. ( I can get it back in a couple of days though)


As the dust settles
Under the deal signed late on Tuesday at Lonmin's mine in Marikana, miners were to return to work at 7am on Thursday in return for pay rises of between 11% to 22%, plus bonuses. The increases fell a little short of demands for a monthly salary of R12 500
The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), the country's largest single trade union, which was not the principle worker representative in the talks that saw the conclusion of the deal, said the wildcat strike at Lonmin's vast facility northwest of Johannesburg and the resulting deal could prompt other miners to act without going through union-approved channels.
"The normal bargaining processes have been compromised," NUM general secretary Frans Baleni said.
"It does suggest that unprotected action, an element of anarchy, can be easily rewarded, people can do certain wrong things with impunity and that means that it can roll over to other operations."
The miners first went on strike on August 10, sparking clashes between rival unions that left 10 people dead. On August 16, police gunned down 34 protesters in a shocking incident with echoes of apartheid brutality. Dozens more were injured.
Other gold and platinum miners in South Africa's key mining sector have already taken up wage demands as unrest forced the closure of several other mines.
The Marikana strike turned mines into a political battlefield, with President Jacob Zuma's rivals mounting fresh attacks ahead of a key leadership contest in the ANC and the firebrand former youth league head Julius Malema siding with the miners.
Lonmin, a Britain-based platinum mining giant, defended the deal that brought an end – for now at least – to the labour dispute.
"This is a groundbreaking agreement, so we do not have any concern in setting a precedent," Lonmin spokesman Abey Kgotle said. "We think this was an extraordinary situation and we have … taken extraordinary measures."
But Peter Attard Montalto, an analyst with London-based Nomura International, said Lonmin's deal risked sparking a "contagion" of unrest.
"Lonmin caving in and offering both to tear up the existing wage settlement for this year and then agreeing such a substantial increase for workers surely risks creating moral hazard and contagion," he said.
Mining in South Africa directly employs around 500 000 people and, if related activities are factored in, accounts for nearly one-fifth of gross domestic product. Many miners toil under terrible conditions and struggle with low wages.
Unlike in South Africa's gold mines, the platinum sector has no industry-wide agreement.
Also on Wednesday, police fired rubber bullets at a crowd gathered near a platinum mine operated by Anglo American Platinum, known as Amplats.
Police last week announced a security clampdown and are now acting swiftly to stamp out illegal gatherings.
"We have had strikes that have been increasingly violent in the last few years, and government didn't move," said Peter Major, a mining expert with Cadiz Corporate Solutions.
"This time, the government has been involved, this is the new precedent. I am really curious to see the next strike." – Sapa-AFP
