Q: Before all this snow came and covered the ground, I saw plants that looked like dandelions. However, I remembered that there are other weeds that look like dandelions and wondered if they may be a problem. What can I do about them?

A: There are several weeds that are common and in their juvenile stage look much like dandelions. London rocket (a common relative of mustard), prickly lettuce and some sowthistle seedlings may be what you observed. They will survive the cold weather and can be problems in your garden next year. Some are perennial and others are annual weeds. Your local NMSU Extension Service office can help you identify these weeds and determine appropriate measures to manage specific weeds.

London rocket, a mustard weed, is a host known to overwinter curly top virus which will infect your tomatoes and chiles next year. For that reason, it is important to eliminate as many of them as possible from the vicinity of your garden (from as much of your property as possible). It is recognizable by the mustard oil fragrance of its crushed leaves. It is not prickly like some of the other weeds mentioned.

Prickly lettuce and sowthistles are in the sunflower family because they have flowers with the same structure as sunflowers, but their flower heads are much smaller. They are often prickly and when the leaves and stem are broken usually exude a milky sap. Some are annual and biennial weeds and some are perennial. This characteristic determines how you must manage these weeds. They are not as notorious as the mustards for spreading disease, but they are not good plants to allow near your garden.

With the annual weeds such as mustards, prickly lettuce and some sowthistles, the key is to remove them before they can form seeds. This may be done with herbicides, but manual removal is often fairly easy to accomplish by cutting the top from the root with a hoe or another garden implement. The mustard weeds should absolutely be removed before you plant tomatoes and chiles next spring.

The perennial weeds are a little more difficult to manage because they can regrow from a small piece of root left in the ground. Some of these weeds can have an extensive root system, so physical management by hoeing and tilling becomes more difficult, but not impossible. There are also herbicides that may be used to manage these weeds, but it is critical to use the proper product and to use it carefully according to the label direction. Your NMSU County Extension agent can help you determine the best method for managing your weeds and minimizing problems in your garden. You will also find that the book, Weeds of the West, published by the Western Society of Weed Science is a good reference for helping you identify the weeds in your garden and landscape.

Colorado State rallies to beat WSU, 48-45 - Sat, 21 Dec 2013 PST

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- With just more than 2 minutes left in the New Mexico Bowl, Washington State held an eight-point lead against an opponent that had been outmanned and outclassed throughout the game and had no timeouts left.

Fans eyed the exits, reporters across the social media landscape wrote the game off as over and just about everyone in the stadium was certain that WSU had already won.

Everyone, including the Cougars.

"We got too complacent; kind of thought we won the game early," senior Justin Sagote said after the Cougars' 48-45 loss to Colorado State.

CSU linebacker Shaquil Barrett forced a fumble, recovered it himself, and the Rams promptly scored, tying the game on the two-point conversion by running a delayed handoff to Donnell Alexander known as the "Statue of Liberty" play.

"They had a lot of reasons to quit in this game," WSU coach Mike Leach said. "They could have quit at any point because they spent most of the game about 10 points, two touchdowns behind. They never did quit."

WSU quarterback Connor Halliday had fumbled on a quarterback keeper the previous play, but officials ruled that his knee touched the ground before the ball was loose after a lengthy review.

WSU's Teondray Caldwell fumbled the ensuing kickoff at the Cougars' 24-yard line and Jared Roberts' field goal sailed through the uprights with no time left on the clock, giving CSU its first lead, and the victory.

"We were thinking the whole time they've just got to run the ball a few times, kneel it," Sagote said. "Then there are two turnovers in 10 seconds that changed the whole game."

Prior to Halliday's run, the Cougars passed the ball on three consecutive plays, electing not to keep the ball on the ground and ignoring the stopping of the clock with an incomplete pass. On their previous drive, up 45-30 with about 6 minutes left, the Cougars passed three times and ran three times.

A landmark court judgment has cast doubt on the ability of WA's environmental watchdog to use aerial photographs and satellite images to prosecute farmers and others accused of illegally clearing land.

The Department of Environmental Regulation said it was assessing consequences of the judgment that resulted in South West landowner Peter Swift winning a three-year legal battle involving 14ha of native vegetation. The ruling has increased pressure on the State Government to reform land clearing laws so that disputes are settled outside the criminal system.

Mr Swift's lawyer Glen McLeod said the judgment showed Magistrate Elizabeth Hamilton had reservations about the aerial photographs and satellite images that underpinned the DER's case.

"The magistrate also found that acceptance of what the aerial photographs and satellite images portray, without reservation and consideration of other evidence, carries with it the potential for a miscarriage of justice," he said.

Mr McLeod, an adjunct professor at Murdoch University who was recently appointed to the board of the Environmental Protection Authority, said the case raised questions about how the legal system should deal with clearing cases involving "ordinary citizens who would not normally see the inside of a criminal court".

"There is also a broader question about the complexity of the laws relating to clearing and whether some revision should be considered," he said.

Mr Swift maintained his innocence throughout an ordeal that took a big toll on his health and livelihood. He had never been to court before the case and faced a maximum fine of $250,000 if convicted under section 51C of the Environmental Protection Act.

Mr Swift bought a 485ha "lifestyle" property not big enough to run as a standalone commercial farm near Manjimup in 2007.

The judgment noted that he had worked hard to protect the environmental attributes of the property, that he had no motive for the alleged offence and that none was ever suggested by the prosecution.

In a scathing assessment of the DER case, Ms Hamilton said one of the allegations, if upheld, would "create a farcical situation whose proportions could only be envisaged by Sir Humphrey Appleby".
