Sponsored Programs
The Office of Sponsored Programs at Western State Colorado University serves supports Western's faculty and staff in their pursuits to secure funding opportunities for themselves and their students, which furthers the mission of the University. The office provides support and facilitates the procurement of support through grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements. The Office of Sponsored Programs is the primary liaison for the faculty, staff, funding agencies and administration to make certain all interests are represented and protected with each request submitted. The director of Sponsored Programs is the authorized organizational representative for electronic submissions at National Science Foundation and Grants.gov and works in close collaboration with the Office of Academic Affairs and the Office of Finance and Administration for each grant application. The OSP falls under the direction of the vice president for Academic Affairs.
The Office of Sponsored Programs is staffed in a part time capacity on a flexible schedule. On campus office hours are 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Staff is available, on call and able to meet with grant writers and others as needed to accommodate schedules including evening and weekends with arrangements made in advance. Please contact the Director to set up an appointment via phone or email.
The mission of the office is to guide faculty and staff through the grant-seeking process by helping to identify funding sources at the local, state and federal levels, and by assisting in the planning, preparation, and submission of the proposal to potential sponsors.
Pre-Award Approval Information
All grant applications submitted to any funding source must be pre-approved by the administration. To expedite this process, please complete the Pre-Award Approval Application and submit to the Office of Sponsored Programs a minimum of one week prior to the deadline date for submission of the application. The Pre-Award Approval Application requires the signature of the Applicant, the chair or supervisor of the applicant, and the Vice President of the Department in which the applicant works. All academic applications are signed by the VPAA. A copy of the summary and/or proposal, including the budget and budget justification must be included in the Pre-Approval Application paperwork for review by the VPAA.
The Office of Sponsored Programs will work with the applicant to obtain the signature of the appropriate vice president after a review of the application and budget associated with the application.
Please review the section on Grant Incentive Award to determine if you are eligible for a Grant Incentive Award. If so, please complete the paperwork and submit at the same time as the Pre-Award Approval Application.
Grants Resource Center
Western State Colorado University is a member of the Grants Resource Center, a unit of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU). The GRC provides a variety of publications and resources to enhance the research and sponsored programs capabilities of higher education institutions since 1967. A subscription to GRC provides access to a comprehensive suite of tools, services, and expertise to improve the efficiency and increase success in securing competitive grants from federal and private sponsors.
Compliance Regulations
The Office of Sponsored Programs shares with faculty and administrators the responsibility for assuring Western State Colorado University compliance with federal regulations, including those related to scientific and institutional misconduct, animal welfare, and the protection of human subjects. Also included in this compliance is that of copyright laws, intellectual property rights, and a drug-free workplace/campus. Please refer to the Western State Colorado University Trustee Policy Manual for information related to each of these areas.
Reassign Time
It is the intention of Western State Colorado University to provide support for faculty and staff interested in utilizing grants and contracts to improve their teaching strategies and provide students with an opportunity to participate in undergraduate research. In some instances, it is appropriate for the primary investigator to request reassign time within the grant budget and be provided this reassign time within their individual departments in order to focus on the sponsored project. Reassign time will be provided for within the following guidelines:
- Reassign time must be financially provided for within the grant's budget.
- A request for reassign time must be secured in writing from the department chair or director prior to the actual submission of the grant and will be dependent on the successful award of the grant. This letter should accompany the tracking sheet as it is routed for approval. The written agreement will be filed with the Department, and the offices of Sponsored Programs and Academic Affairs.
- The suggested maximum reassign time associated with a grant-sponsored project/program is one (1) semester per academic year. This can be negotiated with the department chair or director as appropriate for the funded project.
- The primary investigator/project director may be asked to work with the chair to identify and secure an adjunct to replace him or her in the classroom.
Matching Resources
In the interest of supporting grant application submittal, the University has implemented programs that support faculty in a variety of ways, including cash and other matching resources.
- The institution can provide in-kind support of the project/programs. Some of the specifics the institution might provide are office space, photocopies, and the use of phone, labs, and secretarial services.
- The Arts Enhancements Fund, the Professional Activity Fund (through the Center for Teaching Excellence) and the Indirect Cost Incentive Fund can be explored as possible cash matches. The director of Sponsored Programs can assist you with requesting each of these Funds.
Responsibilities Associated with Grants and Contracts
Persons interested in grants and contract activities must understand the associated responsibilities. The following policies will assist individuals.
- If the required products of the grant or contract are not completed within the award period, the funds of the grant/contract may be delayed or withheld, and future awards from the agency jeopardized. The primary investigator or project director for the project, in consultation with the department chair or director, will be held responsible for the successful completion of the grant/contract while assuming his or her regular duties.
- If the required products of the grant/contract are not completed within the award period, the primary investigator or project director must request, in writing, an extension. The primary investigator or project director must be in consultation with the department chair or director and inform the Accounting Office of the revised arrangements. The Office of Sponsored Programs will remain the contact point for the granting agency, and all paperwork for the extension will flow through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
- If the required products are not delivered, and Western has incurred expenses (including salary) which will not be reimbursed by the granting/contracting agency, the Primary Investigator or project director may be held responsible and be required to reimburse the entire amount to Western.
- The granting/contracting agency will have the final word if a grant is successfully completed.
Finance and Administration Costs (Indirect Costs)
Western State Colorado University has not established an indirect cost rate with the federal government. This contract will be negotiated with the first award that requires an established rate. For additional information on this, please contact the director of Sponsored Programs.
While preparing an application for a federal agency that asks for the "negotiated indirect rate," you must check the box that says "No Negotiated Rate." The Director of Sponsored Programs will assist you in the correct wording for the budget section of the application regarding the F&S line in the budget.
Western State Colorado University established the "Indirect Cost Incentive Fund" that holds the finance and administration costs collected on federal grants for distribution. For a copy of the policy for distribution of Finance and Administration Costs contact the Office of Sponsored Programs and Grants.
Effort Reporting
Federal sponsors of grants, contracts, and subcontracts require "time and effort reporting" to document that salary costs charged to accounts accurately represent the amount of effort committed to the project. Sponsors seek this degree of accountability to ensure they only support costs incurred that are essential to the project/program effort. These guidelines are further explained in the Office of Management and Budgets' Circular A-21, Section J-10. This policy in no way supersedes the policies or terms of employment detailed in Western State Colorado University Handbook for Professional Personnel.
All full- and part-time faculty and staff members who are in any way associated with sponsored projects, programs, services, contracts, or subcontracts may be asked to complete time and effort reporting while the grant award they are participating in is active.
Effort is defined as the portion of time spent on contracted, professional activities, such as research, teaching, administration services, committee work, professional development, student advising, or other forms of service to the department, university, and/or the community.
Effort does not include activities that are conducted outside the terms of employment at Western State Colorado University.
Faculty or professional staff time charged in any amount to a federal, state, or privately sponsored activity will complete a Time and Effort Report once per semester, accounting for 100 percent distribution of effort expended during the reporting period, if requested by administration or required by the granting agency.
Cost Sharing
Cost sharing occurs when the university bears a portion of the costs of a sponsored project (e.g., committing personnel at no cost to the project). Mandatory cost share is cost sharing required by the sponsor as a condition of the award. Voluntary cost share is not required by the sponsor but may be pledged in a proposal or budget justification. If the budget is so approved, this voluntary cost sharing becomes mandatory and must be accounted for and certified.
Signatories on Grant Applications
The director of sponsored program will act as the liaison for obtaining required signatures on grant applications. In general, the following people have signatory authority:
Electronic submittals — director of sponsored programs only.
Dr. William Niemi, vice president of Academic Affairs.
Brad Baca, vice president for Finance and Administration.

While designing forms, I use tables and cells. Many cells contain certain glyphs inside: checkbox, a series of dashes, underscores...etc. Rather than using Find/Replace (which requires me to put something in the cell, run the Find/Replace, then review the results), I'd rather apply a cell style that automatically does it. Is this possible? Or does anybody have a good suggestion. Thank you all!
If you want the certain glyphs inside: checkbox, a series of dashes, underscores...etc automatically should come up then I believe Grep or Find/replace are good option.
However you can try this :-
Go to Windows-->styles-->Cell styles
In the cell styles window , Under "General" , choose the "paragraph style" and under this paragraph style you can add the glyphs as the Bullets and Numbering. and also you can override the paragraph style(being used in cell style) from any other paragraph using the paragraph style panel.
Dont how good it will be in your workflow
In order to use a GREP function doesn't the cell have to contain something to look for?
Theoritically, I'm looking for a way to select at least 30 rows and 4 colums (120 cells) within a table and click a cell style to automatically place a checkbox, centered dash, centered underscore...etc. in it.
Currently I manually place an x in the cell and then run a find/replace.
Any other ideas? I will continue to play around with it.
Thank you
Styles can only format text, not create it. I think Manish was suggesting that if the cell style included a paragraph style that defined a bulleted list you could use the desired glyph as the bullet, but I think you would still need to insert a paragraph in each cell.
@Peter , yes that what exacly I mean,
YOu dont want any text in the table then , This would be cumbersome honestly , If one develop the script to automate this then it would be much easier
1) Create the text box , and insert the glyphs that you need and place the "Comma" after it.
2) Select the glyph set you have typed along with the "comma" , and then paste it 120 times in the same text box , with "TAB" after every 30 entry
3) Go to Table-->Convert text to table , and in row sepertor choose "comma" and in column seperator choose "tab"
if someone can write the script , in which selected text and get copied and pasted 120 times with "comma" atfer each entry and "TAB" after every 30 entry in a single text frame then it would be much easier for you.
other wise I would also like to know if there is any other esaier method.
1. Type your single glyph or dash or underscores into any (empty!) cell.
2. Copy this cell.
3. Select a range of cells.
4. Paste.
It even works when copying more than a single cell (only rows or only columns), but then you must be careful in your paste-to-selection -- it has to match either width or height of your copy, or an exact multiple of it.
Oh,,,much better....Thanks
@Jongware – thank you for that "trick".
However it does not work, if merged cells are included in your selection. Even if the merged cell's dimension are an exact multiple in height and/or width of the copied one.
I had no issues with single cells (not merged cells) of different width and height.
Of course all properties* of the copied cell will travel over to the selected cell (including different stroke width, color etc.)
(Tested with InDesign CS5.5 v7.5.2)
* in fact all properties BUT width and height.

To all,
Duhh! Of course! I use the step/repeat function all the time! Definitely need some sleep.
Thank you!

Great Women Artists in the Clark Collection March 11
For Immediate Release
February 25, 2009
The achievements of great women artists will be the highlight of a free lecture by assistant curator of education Danielle Steinmann on Wednesday, March 11. "Women at the Clark" will also include a preview of the summer 2009 exhibition featuring the work of American painter Georgia O'Keeffe, and a look at Francine Clary Clark, co-founder of the Clark. The 7 pm lecture is held in conjunction with the Berkshires-wide recognition of International Women's Day and its 2009 theme, "The Power of Women in the Arts."
The Clark's collection includes works by celebrated artists Mary Stevenson Cassatt, Berthe Morisot, and Marie Louise Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun. These women overcame obstacles such as not being allowed to draw from nude models or interact with male artists, which often prevented women from becoming professional artists. Vigée-Lebrun's portraits of Marie Antoinette and Cassatt's "Modern Woman Mural" for the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition and Fair in Chicago defied the odds and celebrated women and women's lives.
Like her husband Sterling, Francine had an avid interest in collecting art. Sterling once described Francine as "an excellent judge, much better than I am at times." Steinmann will describe the influential Francine and the passion for art she shared with Sterling, which led to the founding of the Clark in 1950.
The summer 2009 exhibition Dove/O'Keeffe: Circles of Influence features the work of Georgia O'Keeffe as never before examined. O'Keeffe's early works will be on view with those of modernist Arthur Dove, whom she credited as introducing her to abstraction as a means of artistic expression. Steinmann will give a preview of this groundbreaking Clark-exclusive exhibition.
In conjunction with the Berkshires-wide recognition of International Women's Day, the Clark presents the exhibition Women's Work. Thirteen prints, drawings, and photographs created by women are featured through April 19. Take this special opportunity to see works by Mary Stevenson Cassatt, Julia Margaret Cameron, Käthe Kollwitz, Doris Ulmann, Alice Burr, Anna Atkins, Berenice Abbott, and Berthe Morisot. In addition, associate curator of European art Sarah Lees will broach the question "Have There Really Been No Great Women Artists?" on March 25, bringing feminist art historical criticism into the present day.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission is free November 1 through May 31. Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

I have been a gym junkie since I was 15yrs old, some 33 years ago. I have been dragging all my friends to the gym way back then,as I wanted them to feel what I felt. It was "Lana time", the only place in the world that was all about me. It was my safe place, when my world around me wasn't that fabulous, the music, the energy of the gym was what kept me going through the many hard times in my life. I loved the way I felt afterwards.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Nebraska defensive end Jason Ankrah called it "gut-up time," that point where the goal line isn't far behind you and the score isn't all that much in your favor.
The Huskers lived through a lot of gut-up time in the Gator Bowl.
Georgia made six trips into the red zone Wednesday and snapped the football 37 times inside the Huskers' 35-yard line, yet found itself without a lot to show for it.
That more than anything might have explained the Huskers' narrow escape in a 24-19 win at EverBank Field.
"We've been in those situations before," NU safety Corey Cooper said. "We're used to having our back against the wall and come out standing. It wasn't nothing new to us."
The Nebraska defense made fourth-down stops at its own 14-yard line with 4:42 left and at its own 16 with 25 seconds to go. On the Bulldogs' previous four red-zone trips, they scored one touchdown and settled for three field goals.
"When they get in that red zone, we don't want to give up points, especially touchdowns," Ankrah said. "It's gut-up time. They ain't getting in the end zone. I don't care what they run, we don't want to let them get in the end zone, and that's how it happened."
Sixty minutes of bend-don't-break determination helped the Huskers hold Georgia to a season-worst 19 points. The Bulldogs' previous low output had come in a 23-20 win over Florida on this same field, and they came into New Year's Day averaging 38.2 a game.
The sign of things to come might have been when Georgia had first downs at the NU 18, 15 and 25 in the second quarter — and all three times had to eventually trot out kicker Marshall Morgan to salvage something. That allowed the Huskers to get to halftime with a 10-9 lead.
Sam McKewon and Jon Nyatawa take a look at the impact plays from each quarter of the Gator Bowl.

Sam McKewon and Jon Nyatawa take a look at the impact plays from each quarter of the Gator Bowl.
"Knowing me and knowing the rest of the defensive unit, I think we like that kind of pressure," NU defensive end Randy Gregory said. "We take it as a challenge. I think it makes us play harder, maybe play a little bit more confident."
The tests, however, were just beginning.
Nebraska forced three straight incomplete passes after Georgia reached first-and-goal at the 10 in the third quarter. The Bulldogs then finally broke through with a 25-yard touchdown pass from Hutson Mason to Todd Gurley starting the fourth, after NU had pushed them back 10 yards on the previous play with an Ankrah sack.
Cooper said the Huskers didn't get down after that setback, which had allowed Georgia to pull within 24-19.
"People are going to make plays — and we've experienced teams making plays against us — but we know how to respond," Cooper said. "We're never giving up."
They had no choice as the rain kept falling, and the Georgia threats kept coming.
Nebraska was helped by a dropped pass by Bulldogs tight end Arthur Lynch at the 10-yard line two plays before its first fourth-down stop. That series ended when safety Andrew Green hit Rantavious Wooten near the first-down marker to break up a Mason pass.
Georgia then marched right back inside the Nebraska 20, where Cooper tackled Gurley at the end of a 7-yard run to create the fourth-and-3 at the 16. Mason's last of 39 passes then went off the hands of Lynch to start the Husker celebration.
"At the end of the day, we made more plays than they did," NU coach Bo Pelini said. "It was a heck of a game."
Mason threw for 320 yards in his second career start as the Bulldogs finished with 416 total yards and 7 of 19 third-down efficiency. Nebraska limited Gurley to 86 yards rushing (and 4.1 per carry), but the sophomore caught a game-high seven passes for 97 yards.
But the 19 points were all that mattered at the end.
"There were some third downs where we let them get off the hook, when they got some other big plays, but you've got to keep them to field goals or can't let them score," NU linebacker Michael Rose said. "I think we did a great job of bending but not breaking. I'm proud of our guys today for playing the way we played."

This is really a place for tourists. Having said that, it is one that many tourists will like. So I don't want to completely rule it out. The music is excellent. But the attitude is pretentious and a bit forced. Very intellectual which is driven home by the over the top grittiness. Instead of an authentic gracious staff, you will get 'shushed' by the manager for talking while the band is playing. (Not representative of the usual laid back Louisiana style). It would be great if you are traveling and don't know anyone and so don't want to talk with others. But can feel like you are in a movie back in time in a more northern state where people are very well behaved and over educated. I personally like a place with more soul.
Snug Harbor is easily the best Jazz club in New Orleans, with 32 years of history behind it. There is a cover charge of between $15 and $30 depending on the artists and the night, but you get what you pay for. Serious music with good sound and decent drinks and service. Worth every cent. They feature mostly modern jazz, but the schedule can be eclectic so check out the artists in advance on the internet to get an idea of what you'll hear if you don't know the players.
TIP: If you plan to eat here, note that the restaurant and music room are separate and they no longer serve food in the jazz club. So make sure you leave plenty of time to finish your meal, before the show.
Two shows every night of the week at 8 and 10pm. Also, you can buy tickets in advance which can be important for popular acts on the weekends - like Ellis Marsalis most Friday nites and maybe Donald Harrison or Herlin Riley on a Saturday. Those shows can sell-out, especially at 8pm. You can usually stay for the 2nd show if you like, unless its a rare sell-out.
The staff could be a bit more helpful and friendly, but that depends on the individuals and how busy it is. If in doubt, ask someone for info. And remember, this is a serious listening club so talking is at a minimum in the music room. If you want to get loud and party, this is NOT the place for you.
The best seats are downstairs and along the railing upstairs. If you sit upstairs, about 50% of the seats do not have a good view of the stage, so late-comers beware. Often the seats directly in front of the stage are the last to fill-up and they are excellent. Good sound here. Never too loud. Note they only sell about 90 tickets maximum per show. It's not a huge place. But it is the real deal for Jazz in New Orleans. Not to be missed . . .
Prentious Host – My husband and I just spent 4 days in New Orleans and were looking forward to a nice relaxing evening at Snug Harbor. One table was occupied when we arrived and the host brought us to a table in the middle of the room. We asked for a window table, near the occupied table, so we could take in the view while eating. The host made some comment about seating rotations and said it would take a while if we didn't take the table offered. Not wanting to make a big deal out of it, we took the table. During the entire time we were there he didn't seat any group at that table even though the restaurant was practically full by the time we left. I guess he was holding it for someone he thought he could impress. Not feeling welcome, we left after our meal and went down the street to d.b.a. where we ended up every night for music and drinks. The food at Snug Harbor was good, our waitress Colleen was nice but due to the arrogance of the Host (Julian or something similar) we won't be back.
Disappointed – We are visiting from out of town and were looking forward to a nice dinner where we are staying in the Marigny. We made reservations for 4 at 8pm.
We were eating and a kockroche (spelled wrong on purpose) literally ran up the wall. It sounds like I'm making this up, but that's not supposed to happen at a restaurant!
Don't try to pick up "will call" tickets. – I purchased tickets thru my credit card two days prior to the scheduled 10pm show for 5/19. These were "will call" tickets paid in full, in advance. After paying for a taxi from our hotel to the club, we were informed that there were no tickets being held for us. The person at the counter didn't even bother looking. I think they simply sold the tickets (probably to someone else at a higher price) since this show was sold out. I did tell the manager that I knew what was going on and that it was a lousy way to do business. A very bad experience all around. Bad karma.
An inconspicuous spot that's earned a reputation as the city's most prestigious jazz club. – The Scene
Snug is separated into three distinct spaces: a cozy restaurant with candlelit tables, a warm, dark-wood bar area and a performance club with close-quartered table seating on two levels. Most nights, the club's floor level and the adjacent bar are teeming with young jazz hopefuls, instruments in tow, ready to play if called upon from the stage. The action starts early here--sets are at 8pm and 10pm nightly--long before the rest of the colorful Frenchmen Street scene begins percolating.
The Draw
Unlike the old-school proceedings at Preservation Hall or the Palm Court, Snug Harbor is more in line with the times; players often advance the art form's future rather than preserve the legacy of its past. Ellis Marsalis, Charmaine Neville and Astral Project are among the many New Orleans talents who regularly grace the stage.
Good jazz – This is a comfortable place, and a great bargain. There are many great performers here.
The downside is that some of the shows are fillers. A couple of the well-known New Orleans musicians tend to play over and over, which tends to get old. The bar in front is a nice place to sit and listen to the music for a few minutes as you decide if you want to pay to hear the music in the back. Try a Monsoon, their specialty drink, but don't drive home.
Jazz lovers should plan on spending a significant amount of time here.
The bar is a 10! – The monsoons are without equal in the tourist drink department, and the first stop on every N.O. visit. Eat elsewhere. The music is beyond impressive.
A Perfect Evening! – This place is great. We were here in April and were told not to miss Snug Harbor. There is no dancing, an excellent sound system (meaning loud is not better), it's comfortable and intimate. We started the evening with Port of Call hamburgers and then walked over to Snug, for a perfect evening.

Her Blue Dasher Is ESA's June Bug
Rachel Graham, a master's student in entomology at the University of California, Davis who loves photographing insects, recently submitted an image of a blue dasher, Pachydiplax longipennis, for the Entomological Society of America's 2014 World of Insects calendar.
Dashing news! It won a well-deserved spot in the calendar. It's the June "bug." The worldwide competition drew more than 400 photos from 84 photographers. Each attendee at ESA's 61st annual meeting, held Nov. 10-13 in Austin, Texas, received a calendar. (More calendars are available.)
Graham studies with integrated pest management (IPM) specialist Frank Zalom, newly inducted president of the nearly 7000-member ESA. (Zalom is only the second-ever ESA president from UC Davis.)
Graham captured the image at the Archbold Biological Station in Venus, Fla., in August 2010 when she was participating in a BugShot photography workshop organized by noted insect photographer/entomologist Alex Wild of Illinois. Wild, who received his doctorate in entomology from ant specialist Phil Ward, UC Davis professor of entomology, writes the popular Myrmecos blog and the Compound Eye blog for Scientific American.
Graham recalled that she photographed the blue dasher "on the very first day of the workshop" with her Canon 60D and a 100mm macro lens, shooting at an ISO of 200, f-stop of 6.3 and a shutter speed of 1/40. No flash. No tripod.
The dragonfly species is widespread throughout North America. It's common, but Rachel Graham's photo isn't!
This isn't Rachel Graham's first major photography honor, either. One of her images made the Cornell Ornithology Celebrate Urban Birds 2011 calendar. And earlier this year, she won the People's Choice Award at the 6th annual UC Davis Graduate Student Symposium in Ecology. Her winning photo depicted a jumping spider eating a hover fly.
Graham, an IPM specialist who plans a career in science education and outreach, recalled that she "began photographing insects for a class assignment at UC San Diego in 2010, and have not been able to stop."
Let's hope she never does!
The image of a blue dasher, captured by Rachel Graham of UC Davis, appears in the Entomological Society of America's 2014 World of Insects Calendar.
A Gathering of Entomologists
Some 3000 researchers, professors, graduate and undergraduate students, extension service personnel, administrators, research technicians, consultants, and others from around the globe will gather at the 61st annual lmeeting of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) "for four days of science, networking and fun," according to ESA spokesman Richard Levine. "This is the most important annual conference anywhere in the world for the science of entomology."
The theme: "Science Impacting a Connected World."
At the conclusion of the conference, integrated pest management specialist Frank Zalom, a professor in the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, will assume the duties of president of the 6500-member organization. He'll preside over the 62nd annual meeting, to be held in 2014 in Portland, Ore.
Zalom will become the second UC Davis entomologist to head the international organization, which is comprised of members in educational institutions, health agencies, private industry and government. The first president from UC Davis was Donald McLean, former professor and chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, who was elected ESA president in 1984.
Zalom has been heavily involved in research and leadership in integrated pest management (IPM) activities at the state, national and international levels. He directed the UC Statewide IPM Program for 16 years (1988-2001) and is currently experiment station co-chair of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU) National IPM Committee.
Zalom focuses his research on California specialty crops, including tree crops (almonds, olives, prunes, peaches), small fruits (grapes, strawberries, caneberries), and fruiting vegetables (tomatoes), as well as international IPM programs. The IPM strategies and tactics Zalom has developed include monitoring procedures, thresholds, pest development and population models, biological controls and use of less toxic pesticides, which have become standard in practice and part of the UC IPM Guidelines for these crops. In his three decades with the UC Davis entomology department, Zalom has published almost 300 refereed papers and book chapters, and 340 technical and extension articles. The articles span a wide range of topics related to IPM, including introduction and management of newer, soft insecticides, development of economic thresholds and sampling methods, management of invasive species, biological control, insect population dynamics, pesticide runoff mitigation, and determination of host feeding and oviposition preferences of pests. The Zalom lab has responded to six important pest invasions in the last decade, with research projects on glassy-winged sharpshooter, olive fruit fly, a new biotype of greenhouse whitefly, invasive saltcedar, light brown apple moth, and the spotted wing Drosophila. (See Frank Zalom's Video on Extending Orchard IPM Knowledge in California)
Zalom is a fellow of ESA, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the California Academy of Sciences and is the recipient of scores of other high honors.
Meanwhile, if you're an entomologist or a wanna-be entomologist, Austin is the place to be Nov. 10-13.
Truly, "Science Impacting a Connected World."/span>

Medflies: Permanent Residents
The Mediterranean fruit fly, considered the world's worst agricultural pest, is one of at least five fruit flies established in California. It cannot be eradicated.
So says entomologist James Carey of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, who has been dogging medflies since his faculty appointment in 1980. (See what drove him.)
Carey and UC Davis-affiliated colleagues Nikos Papadopoulos and Richard Plant wrote the eye-opening research piece, "From Trickle to Flood: The Large Scale, Cryptic Invasion of California by Tropical Fruit Flies" in the current edition of the renowned Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Their work "clearly demonstrates that at least five and as many as nine species of tropical fruit flies, including the infamous Medfly, are permanently established in California and inexorably spreading, despite more than 30 years of intervention and nearly 300 state-sponsored eradication programs aimed at the flies," wrote Pat Bailey in a UC Davis News Service story released today.
The findings, Bailey pointed out, have "significant implications for how government agencies develop policies to successfully manage pests that pose a threat to California's $43.5 billion agricultural industry."
Carey, an international authority on fruit-fly invasion biology, told her that "Despite due diligence, quick responses, and massive expenditures to prevent entry and establishment of these insects, virtually all of the fruit-fly species targeted by eradication projects have been reappearing in the same locations — several of them annually — and gradually spreading in the state."
Carey, Papadopoulos and Plant detailed the problem in the opening paragraph of their meticulously researched paper: "Since 1954 when the first tropical tephritid fruitfly was detected in California, a total of 17 species in four genera and 11,386 individuals (adults/larvae) have been detected in the state at more than 3348 locations in 330 cities." That's three out of four California cities.
Michael Parrella, professor and chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology: "The study has dramatic implications for California agriculture and the state's international trading partners, and speaks to the urgent need to alter current eradication policies aimed at invasive species."
Frank Zalom, UC Davis entomology professor and incoming president of the 6500-member Entomological Society of America: "This study deserves serious consideration, and I hope that it helps lead to new discussions on a long-term approach for dealing with fruit flies and similar exotic pests by the United States and international regulatory authorities."
Former UC Davis chancellor Ted Hullar (1987-1994), one of the first to believe in "the science" that Carey presented, said: "From our first conversation, Jim struck me as a serious-minded guy, with strong ideas and clear focus, pursuing his insights and beliefs no matter the struggle. Good science and progress comes from that, making new paths in tough terrain, believing in the power of journey, as well as goal."
The Medfly prefers such thin-skinned hosts as peach, nectarine, apricot, avocado, grapefruit, orange, and cherry. The female may lay one to 10 eggs per fruit or as many as 22 eggs per day. She may lay up to 800 eggs during her lifetime, but usually about 300.
We remember when the Medfly wreaked economic havoc in the Solano County city of Dixon in September 2007. We were there.
At the time, Carey told us that "this may be just one of many isolated pockets of medfly infestations in California. This is really serious because the invasion process is so insidious."
The Medfly has been multiplying and spreading undetected--like cancer--for years, he said. "It may be a symptom of a much larger problem. But any way you look at it, this is the first really big outbreak in the Central Valley."
CDFA set up a command center at the Dixon May Fair and imposed a 114-mile radius quarantine of fruits, vegetables and nuts. Dixon was deep in the throes of tomato and walnut harvesting. The owner of a 65-acre organic produce farm that ships to 800 clients worried that he might lose $10,000 a week in potential sales.
Among the actions that the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) took at the onset:
- Stripped all fruit from trees within a 100-meter radius of all Medfly finds
- Ground-sprayed the organic compound Naturalyte (the active ingredient is Spinosad, a naturally occurring product of a soil bacteria) within a 200-meter radius of all Medfly finds
- Set 1,700 fruit fly traps within an 81-square mile grid in all of Dixon and the surrounding area from near the Yolo County border to Midway Road
- Began aerially releasing 1.5 million sterile male medflies (dyed pink for easy detection) over a 12-square mile area on Sept. 14, with weekly releases of 3 million medflies scheduled for at least nine months
- Set up a yearlong command center, with four portable buildings and a task force of 25, on the Dixon May Fair grounds
Fast forward to today. Now that the Medfly has been declared a "permanent resident," what's next?
Carey agrees that "CDFA needs to continue to respond to outbreaks as they occur, but he advocates long-term planning based on "the science" that the insects are established. This includes heightened monitoring levels for the agriculturally rich Central Valley, an economic impact study, risk management/crop insurance, cropping strategies, fly fee zones/post harvest treatments, emergency/crisis planning, genetic analysis and a National Fruit Fly Program.
"Inasmuch as the Mediterranean, Mexican, Oriental, melon, guava and peach fruit flies have all been detected in the Central Valley, monitoring this incredibly important agricultural region should be increased by 5 to 10-fold in order to intervene and suppress populations and thus slow the spread," Carey says.
"These pests cannot be wished away or legislated out of existence. Policymakers need to come to grips with this sobering reality of multiple species permanently established in our state in order to come up with a long-term, science-based policy for protecting agriculture in our state."
(See James Carey's website for links to his work on fruit fly invasion.)

Good Job!
The UC Davis Entomology Graduate Student Association (EGSA) has decided to provide travel funds to entomology undergraduates who want to present their research at entomological associations.
So EGSA has established the Jude Plummer Travel Grant, so named because Plummer, a pest control manager in Florida, donated $50 "to be used for such a cause," said EGSA president Jenny Carlson, a Ph.D. candidate in the Vector Genetics Lab.
This week EGSA announced the first recipient of the Jude Plummer Travel Grant: Daren Harris, who received his bachelor of science degree in entomology from UC Davis in December.
Harris will receive a travel grant of $300 to present his poster on the spotted wing drosophila at the 2013 meeting of the Pacific Branch of the Entomological Society of America, set April 6-11 at Harrah's Lake Tahoe, Stateline, Nev.
Harris' poster is titled "Seasonal Trapping of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in a Multi-Crop Setting." He works as a lab assistant in the Frank Zalom lab, studying with professor Zalom and Ph.D candidate Kelly Hamby.
"We will be providing an opportunity for UC Davis undergraduates to apply twice a year for a total of $300, depending on funds," Carlson said. "We will have one in the winter and one in the fall." Those who want to support the project can donate to the EGSA fund or buy entomology t-shirts.
Harris, who minored in fungal biology and ecology, plans to pursue a master's degree in forest entomology. "I would like to study insect-fungus interactions with a focus on inoculation of forest pests with entomophagous fungi," he said. "Many of these pests are gregarious so capture, inoculation and release of a few individuals may disseminate the pathogen to a large population."
"My ultimate goal is to work with the USDA forest service. I would love nothing more than to make my living tromping around in beautiful north American forests."
Harris said he initially wanted to be a taxidermist. "As a child I had bookshelves filled with biological oddities and 'specimens,' including dead animals in jars of formaldehyde. My collection included everything from pet rodents to road kill. A high school biology teacher turned me on to entomology and I was hooked. The capture and curation of insects satisfied that childhood collection impulse, with the added bonus of frolicking through fields with a net."

Our Man (Entomologist) in Washington
Make that several years.
Zalom, who just completed a year as the vice president-elect of the 6000-member Entomological Society of America (ESA), was installed as vice president of the organization at its meeting last month in Knoxville, Tenn. and is in line for the presidency.
So, his ESA commitment totals four years: first as vice president-elect, then as the vice president, then as president, and finally, past president. Each is a one-year term.
ESA, founded in 1889 and now headquartered in Lanham, Md., a suburb of Washington, D.C., draws members from all over the world. They're primarily in educational institutions, health agencies, private industry and government.
Zalom will be the second UC Davis entomologist to serve as ESA president. The first was Donald McLean, who held the top ESA office in 1986. Now an emeritus professor, McLean chaired the UC Davis Department of Entomology from 1974 to 1979 and served as dean of the Division of Biological Sciences from 1979 to 1986.
As ESA's new VP, Frank Zalom is already assuming a myriad of duties. He participated in the 2012 Council of Scientific Society Presidents (CSSP) conference held Dec. 8-10 in Washington, D.C.
ESA president Robert Wiedenmann, professor and head of the University of Arkansas Department of Entomology, and Zalom represented ESA at the meeting. The Council membership is comprised of presidents, presidents-elect and recent past presidents representing some 60 scientific federations and societies. The combined membership totals more than 1.4 million scientists and science educators.
Among the many speakers were Paula Apsell, senior executive producer of NOVA-TV, who led a discussion on "Building Pubic Appreciation for Science"; Ian Shipsey, physics professor at Purdue University, who spoke on "Higgs Boson: How It Imparts Mass"; Lori Garver of NASA, "Mars and Beyond—Exploring the Endless Frontiers"; and Millie Dresselhaus, professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "Nanoscale Carbon Electron-Phonon Interaction." Charles Vest, president of the National Academy of Engineering, keynoted the awards banquet on Dec. 9.
The CSSP contingent also met for a breakfast on Capitol Hill, interacting with congressional leaders, including chiefs of staff and senators.
According to a CSSP brochure, "The Council regularly develops national policy coordination recommended by its committees on issues of importance to the scientific community."
Among those issues are science and mathematics education; university-based research; federal research and education budget; responsible conduct of science; merit review of federally supported science; unimpeded exchange of scientific information; magnifying public science literary; research on teaching and learning; and directions for 21st century science.
Now the ESA governing board is gearing up for its 61st annual meeting, set Nov. 10-13, 2013 (initially set for Nov. 17-20) in Austin, Texas. Also on the governing board from UC Davis is Michael Parrella, professor and chair of the Department of Entomology, who represents the ESA's Pacific Branch.
Theme of the 61st annual meeting? "Science Impacting a Connected World."

Antonio Brown's Awesome Helmet Catch
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
And this, folks, is the play that sent the Pittsburgh Steelers to the AFC Championship game. Granted, Rashard Mendenhall's touchdown provided the actual go ahead score, but that's not happening without Brown's stick-em-on-the-helmet-like catch. As for the purists out there, where does Brown's catch rank in relation to David Tyree's miraculous catch against the New England Patriots (I still enjoy watching Rodney Harrison fail there)? In order for the playing field to be completely level, you'd have to take out the fact Tyree's obviously occurred on an even bigger stage, and at an even more crucial moment.
While advancing to the Conference Finals is nice, winning the Super Bowl clearly trumps all.
How much does this win add to the legend of Ben Roethlisberger, one of the more polarizing players in the NFL, for obvious reasons? Love him or hate, he simply makes plays, and in the NFL — well, considering the Cam Newton situation, we should change "NFL" to "football in general" — that's clearly all that matters.

In an attempt to boost revenue and sell more tickets, the New York City Metropolitan Opera has announced new dynamic ticket pricing for the 2012-13 season.
That means a rise in price for the most in-demand seats but a sharp decrease in the cost of cheap seats. The cost of the cheapest ticket will fall from $25 to just $20, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The plan will increase the average cost of all tickets by about seven percent and increase revenue by about 1.5 percent.
Despite the net rise in average ticket price, more than one third of the Met Opera's 3,800 seats will now cost less than $100.

NEW ORLEANS - Beyonce faced the music at a news conference Thursday before the Super Bowl, admitting that she sang along to a pre-recorded track when she performed the national anthem on Inauguration Day.
The singer said she's a "perfectionist" and wanted her performance for President Barack Obama to be memorable. She called the day "emotional."
"I practice until my feet bleed and I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra," she said. "Due to no proper sound check, I did not feel comfortable taking a risk. It was about the president and the inauguration, and I wanted to make him and my country proud, so I decided to sing along with my pre-recorded track, which is very common in the music industry. And I'm very proud of my performance."

If you're like most couples, you breezed through the "in sickness and in health" clause of your marriage vows without much thought. You were probably too busy gazing into your spouse's eyes, beaming from the thought of marrying your soul mate and eagerly anticipating your wedding night.
Had you given it some thought, you might have pictured "in sickness and in health" as serving your wife chicken noodle soup when she has the flu or running to the store at 10 p.m. for another box of Kleenex and Sudafed for your husband's "monster" cold. Aside from the token mention of, "Yes, honey, I'd still love you and take care of you if you were in a car accident," calamity was probably the furthest thing from your mind.
More often than not, the reality of "sickness" materializes out of nowhere. When your spouse is diagnosed with a chronic illness, you begin to realize that your life, your spouse's life and your marriage will never again be the same. It's easy to let thoughts such as, "Will this affect his lifespan?" and "Will we still be able to have kids?" torment you.
Below are eight tips for dealing with a diagnosis as a couple.

Of course it will include all kinds of application updates and other goodies. More on this as it develops.

Chamber annual meeting puts Millenials into focusFebruary 04,2013The Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce elected a new leadership team Thursday morning, and then gained powerful insights into the attitudes of more distant leaders, the Millennials or NextGen.
Susan Kruthers of Central Vermont Medical Center was installed as chairwoman of the Chamber board of directors, succeeding Steve Gilman of rbTechnologies after two years at the helm.
Gilman said he enjoyed the opportunity to work for the betterment of the local economy and was pleased the Chamber introduced new recruiting tools, had the highest membership growth since the economic crash, successfully opposed new local option taxes, and continued its support of a regional public safety initiative.
He said a new shop local effort involving 90 area businesses has great potential.
The retiring board chairman credited his officers and directors and individually thanked those leaving the board: Tim Ross, Nancy Zorn, Mike Donovan and former board chairman, Robert Lord, Jr.
The membership re-elected Leslie Sanborn to the board, as well as newcomers Curtis Ostler of Norwich University, Byron Atwood of DMS Machining & Fabrication, Gary Hass of The World, and Jim Breer of Better Home Inspections.
Ostler also led the presentation NextGen: Understanding and engaging new generations of people and technology, tapping the founder of Local 64, a partner in Cornerstone Pub & Kitchen, and a Norwich cadet lieutenant colonel for additional perspective.
Essentially, those who think todays youth are in a world all their own are correct, Ostler explained. They have grown up with technology that earlier generations are struggling to understand or are simply ignoring.
The smartphones they carry have access to more information than the FBI did during President Clintons administration, and they communicate better worldwide than General Norman Schwarzkopf could during the Gulf War.
Ostler said those born after 1985, the Millennials, are confident, upbeat, self-expressive, open to change and connected to each other and to the world in ways previous generations could not imagine.
He noted that the Internet and social media have no boundaries. Posted information is immediately available worldwide, instantaneously. The spread of information fuels the pace of change.
Keith Paxman, co-owner of Cornerstone Pub & Kitchen, posted messages on Facebook describing the soon-to-be business and sharing its logo. It had 1,500 followers before Cornerstone opened its doors.
Reacting to his descriptions of what was to come and expressing their own desires, Facebook friends helped guide the pub more heavily toward restaurant. The business changed before it even opened, Paxman said.
The pace of social change is also accelerating. A century ago, women couldnt vote. A few decades ago, womens basketball was played by different rules than mens basketball.
Today, women will enter the front lines of combat. Cadet Lt. Colonel Emily Baugus said male officers under her command never questioned her leadership. Captain of the womens rugby team, Baugus is pursuing a degree in construction engineering management and expects to serve as a helicopter pilot. One of her friends is preparing to pilot fighter jets.
Times have changed. First came the telecommute. Then came work anywhere. That has now been followed by working together independently, according to Lars Hasselblad Torres, the man behind Local 64, which is a membership-driven co-working space in Montpelier. Hasselblad Torres said work-at-home people, independent contractors, and creative spirits need local interaction to exchange ideas, make connections, and share experiences.
That evolution barely spans 20 years. Businesses that dont connect with Millennials will lose remarkably resourceful employees and will fail to reach a huge and growing customer base.
Operating without using the Web or social media is like running a business without a telephone.
If you will not, or cannot [utilize new technologies], hire someone who can! Ostler said.
The presentation was extremely well received by more than 120 business and community leaders attending the meeting at the Capitol Plaza Hotel & Conference Center. Ostler and his co-presenters graciously remained following the meeting, taking individual questions for an additional 20 minutes.

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
The increasing industrialization of our oceans threatens the fragile health of marine ecosystems. If poorly planned or managed, drilling for oil and natural gas in federal waters, developing aquaculture and building wind, wave and tidal energy facilities all have the potential to damage America's marine environment. Currently, several federal agencies manage industrial activities in our oceans under a number of statutes, and there is little coordination or consideration of the cumulative impacts their decisions have on the health and productivity of marine ecosystems and coastal communities.
Among its cardinal recommendations, the Pew Oceans Commission called for establishing an enforceable national policy to protect, maintain and restore the health of marine ecosystems. This will not only support economically and culturally valuable fisheries, but also provide countless recreational opportunities for the public and protect critically important ecological services, such as air and water purification. The commission also recommended changing the organizational structure and laws governing our oceans to make their protection and productivity a priority, and it urged better coordination and management of the full spectrum of activities affecting marine resources. Finally, it proposed establishing a permanent source of funding for ocean and coastal conservation and management.
Pew's Campaign for Healthy Oceans is working with Congress and the new Administration to:
Oceans sustain our coastal economies, but more importantly they are essential to the health of the planet's air and water systems. Pew's Campaign for Healthy Oceans seeks the changes needed to restore and protect this vital part of our natural environment.

Summary of The Good Daughter Summary of The Good Daughter Reviews for The Good Daughter An Excerpt from The Good Daughter
Love was given to all, except herself . . .
Kit Brennan has always been the most grounded of her sisters. A Catholic school English teacher for seventeen years and a constant giver, her decisions have been sound—just not very satisfying. Her fortieth birthday is right around the corner, causing Kit to consider some wilder notions, like skipping right past the love and marriage to raising a child all by herself . . .
A girls' weekend away is just the reprieve Kit needs from school, Mr. Wrongs, and life-changing decisions. It's there that she meets a man who's dangerous; a man who challenges who she thought she was, or rather should be. Kit wants to indulge herself this once, but with one of her students in crisis and the weight of her family's burdens weighing heavy on her heart, Kit isn't sure if now is the time to let her own desires take flight . . .
