Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interest:
My research mainly focused on fuel metabolism in islets and regulation of insulin secretion in congenital hyperinsulinism (HI), a group of disorders that cause hypoglycemia in infants and children. My work has involved characterizing most of the known disease models of HI, including glutamate dehydrogenase transgenic mice, sulfonylurea receptor 1 knockout mice, and short-chain 3-hydroxy fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase knockout mice. Recently, I have extended these studies of animal models to examine the role of amino acids in regulation of insulin and glucagon secretion by islets from normal and type 2 diabetic humans.
Islets function evaluation: 1) Islets isolation and function studies by batch incubation in 96 well "high-throughput" format and by islets perifusions. 2) Measurement of intracellular calcium in perifused whole islets or dispersed islet cell by duel wave length florescence microscopy.
Fuel Metabolism: 1) Stable isotope tracing: 13C and 15N tracing in isolated islets to study metabolic fluxes from glucose or amino acid; 2)ATP and ATP/ADP ratio measurement to evaluate fuel metabolism.
Gene expression: study gene expression by qPCR in whole islets or in purified beta-cell by cell sorting.

GEOFF (SWAGGY) WILSON MEMORIAL 12km ROAD RACE 29th July 2007 11th
The late Geoff (Swaggy ) Wilson was a member of the
Traralgon Harriers from the early days of the Club until his life was
tragically ended in 1997. He was an outstanding runner in sprint events
as well as long distance races. Swaggy was also an excellent Club member
and a most likeable and interesting person. It was an enjoyable experience
going on a long distance training run with him. Swaggy also had an excellent
sense of humour. His passing was a very sad occasion for his family, many
friends and all who knew him. After his death the Traralgon Harriers decided
to have the annual Geoff (Swaggy) Wilson Memorial 12km road race in his
memory. This event is held during July each year from the Harriers Club
Steve Quirk wins his 3rd Swaggy Wilson Memorial 12km Road Championship.
The 9th Annual running of the Traralgon Harriers 12km Road Championship saw Steve Quirk win the event for the third straight year. Leanne Keating who has only been running with the club for the last month took out the female title. The event which has been run in memory of former Traralgon Harrier Geoff "Swaggy" Wilson since 1997 attracted 23 runners in the main 12km event. Junior Matthew Mullens tried hard to stick with Steve Quirk early but found the winner too strong. Matt continued to run strongly and finished outright second and first under 18 junior. Bruce Salisbury finished outright third and first vet. In the females a good battle was fought between Leanne Keating and Pauline Lindsay with Leanne breaking away near the finish. Pauline took out the first female vet.

The compaq ac adapter power supply
If the wattage requirement for your laptop is lower than the 60W or 90W output of the compaq presario c700 ac adapter, it will not damage your laptop, your laptop will only take the amount of power it requires. I.E.
If your laptop needs 45W, then either the 60W or 90W will work OK.
If your laptop needs 80W then you will need the 90W one as the 75W one will not be powerful enough.
AC adapters with higher power ratings also give off more heat than adapters with lower power ratings. If excess heat is a consideration, a Compaq presario v6000 ac adapter with a higher power rating may not be suitable for the application.
Avoid exposing a Compaq Presario CQ60 AC adapter to prolonged periods of extreme heat or cold. Doing so could damage the internal circuitry and prevent it from working. Always wrap up the AC cord tightly when traveling, and avoid any contact with other metallic devices, like coins, pens or paperclips. These could accidentally short-circuit the adapter by causing an connection of the positive an negative terminals, for example, when bouncing around in a bag.
But everyone who uses a laptop knows how frustrating it is when the warning signs begin to tell you that the Compaq Presario CQ40 AC adapter level is low. However, there are many tips to help you eke out Compaq Presario C500 AC adapter life properly!
While there are some basic applications provided by Google that approach those of the Office, the real strength of Android is the fact that a version of Linux, and as such, to be open source: that of providing users the ability to access the code and make changes. This possibility makes easier the work of designers in adapting the OS is the architecture of the devices, which does not happen with Microsoft products. Given all these considerations, it is easy to think that the challenge for Microsoft will be increasingly tight, and the company's monopoly on operating systems will be seriously questioned.
According to an earlier inquiry by compaq presario c700 charger to ZDNet, the utility are addressed "on a certain version of retaining or on trivial geometric features of the End of ink" message. Pelikan said it had filed against the two utility cancellation requests issued by the German Patent and Trademark Office in Munich. Reason: The utility was neither a technological innovation or an innovative activity based.
Compaq Presario CQ50 Charger was confident at that time that the two utility to delete, and said he wanted to sit down "with every legal means" to defend. In addition, the products affected by the lawsuit had been made already in an altered version, to avoid any interruptions in delivery of the cartridges.

A Peek Inside Mayim Bialik's Newly Organized Home
This summer hiatus from "The Big Bang Theory" is drawing to a close, as we start production of Season 7 this week for America's viewing pleasure. I ended up traveling a lot this summer for my work with Texas Instruments and I also did a handful of speaking engagements as well. In between, I spent a lot of great time with my boys camping and going to the beach and having play dates and the like.
But what I also did on my summer vacation was something I have been told to do for years but resisted and finally gave in to… I hired a personal organizer. I hate getting help with things (as you all know, I clean my own toilets and am actually fine with that), and I was very nervous about this being Hollywood, where big personalities and diva desires are often more common with people like stylists and personal organizers than celebrities!
My publicist Heather knows how quirky and not Hollywood I am, and she told me she heard about an organizer with a mellow personality who might be able to help me. I called said woman with a million caveats in my head, and I fumbled my way through our first conversation by telling her I don't want my house to look like an IKEA or Pottery Barn Catalog (no insult to those stores, it's just not my style). I also told her that I am not a crazy Hollywood person and that I want my house to still be funky and eclectic and I also may have told her I was terrified of hiring her because of all of the anxieties mentioned above.

Judge rules against Alaska marijuana law
The Associated Press
JUNEAU, Alaska – A judge on Monday struck down part of a new Alaska law criminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana, saying it conflicts with past constitutional decisions made by the Alaska Supreme Court.
That means the police won't be able charge people with a misdemeanor under the new law for possessing less than 1 ounce of marijuana in their homes.
The state Department of Law was expected to quickly file an appeal with the high court.
Superior Court Judge Patricia Collins said a lower court can't reverse the state Supreme Court's 1975 decision in Ravin v. State. In that case, the Supreme Court ruled the right to privacy in one's home included the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use.
"Unless and until the Supreme Court directs otherwise, Ravin is the law in this state and this court is duty bound to follow that law," Collins wrote in her decision.
Collins granted a summary judgment to the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska, which sued the state when the law took effect in June.
Collins limited her decision to possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana, even though the new law increases penalties for possession of more than that amount. Before the law took effect in June, it had been legal in Alaska to possess up to 4 ounces of the drug.
Collins said she limited her decision because the ACLU argued that the only issue in this case is the Legislature's power to regulate possession of small amounts of marijuana.
"No specific argument has been advanced in this case that possession of more than 1 ounce of marijuana, even within the privacy of the home, is constitutionally protected conduct under Ravin or that any plaintiff or ACLU of Alaska member actually possesses more than 1 ounce of marijuana in their homes," Collins wrote.
The new law makes possession of 4 ounces or more a felony. Possession of 1 to 4 ounces is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. The part the court ruled against was that less than 1 ounce would be a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail.
The state Department of Law argued that new findings of marijuana's increased potency since the 1975 decision justify reconsidering the issue.
ACLU of Alaska executive director Michael Macleod-Ball lauded the reasoning behind Collins' decision.
"If a lower court could just overturn a higher court's opinion at any time, our court system would be in disarray," he said. "The notion of privacy in one's home is upheld. That's what we've been saying all along."

Parent Report of Childhood Shellfish Allergy in the US
Although shellfish allergy frequently results in emergency department visits, national prevalence studies focusing on shellfish allergy in children are scarce. This study describes parent reports of shellfish allergy among children in the United States. Data from shellfish-allergic children were identified for analysis from a randomized, cross-sectional survey administered in US households with children from June 2009 to February 2010. Child characteristics, parent-reported prevalence, severity, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and reaction history were analyzed as weighted proportions. Adjusted models were estimated to examine the association of child characteristics, reaction history, and diagnosis methods with odds of shellfish allergy and severe shellfish allergy. Among the 38,480 children included in this study, 499 were reported to have a shellfish allergy, corresponding to a prevalence of 1.3%.
Childhood food allergies: current diagnosis, treatment, and management strategies.
Food allergy is a growing public health concern in the United States that affects an estimated 8% of children. Food allergy is defined as an adverse health effect arising from a specific immune response that occurs reproducibly on exposure to a specific food. Nearly 40% of children with food allergy have a history of severe reactions that if not treated immediately with proper medication can lead to hospitalization or even death. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) convened an expert panel in 2010 to develop guidelines outlining evidence-based practices in diagnosing and managing food allergy. The purpose of this review is to aid clinicians in translating the NIAID guidelines into primary care practice and includes 6 content domains. READ MORE...
The Pediatrician's Role in the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy
Childhood food allergy is a condition of public health importance and affects an estimated 8% of the population. Until a viable treatment or cure is readily available, improving management practices in clinical, social, and community settings remains essential. To ensure children receive comprehensive care from his or her pediatrician, our recent article in Pediatric Annals describes best practices distilled from the 2010 National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases guidelines in food allergy management, including:
- Documentation of a diagnosis based on reaction history;
- Appropriate diagnostic testing and test interpretation;
- Prescription of potentially life-saving medications;
- Counseling and educating patients' families on prevention and treatment; and
- Referral to an allergist.
Pediatricians remain integral in caring for food-allergic children and are often the first, and sometimes only, physician managing a child's food allergy.

Samsung in search for Olympic bloggers
Samsung is opening a competition to select 100 bloggers around the world to cover the Olympics using its products, as it seeks to become a more "aspirational" brand.
Jamie Oliver: ambassador for Samsung Global Blogger programme (pic: David Loftus)
Samsung will invite people from 20 countries across the globe to apply via MSN for its Samsung Global Blogger (SGB) programme.
Hopefuls are being asked to submit film auditions demonstrating why they should be selected as an SGB for the London Olympic Games.
Those who get through to the second phase will then have to take part in a video report challenge at the end of April, with around 100 bloggers being selected to be an SGB by celebrity judges in each participating country.
Winners will blog and produce a daily show across the entire Olympic Games period using Samsung products, including the Samsung Galaxy Note, which the company wants to position as the perfect blogging device.
Content will be hosted on MSN, social media sites and a Samsung Olympic hub page, while content will not be editorialised, but will be monitored to see if it is appropriate.
Jamie Oliver was selected last month in order to be the ambassador for the programme and was chosen for his global fame and mentor reputation, and ability to motivate people to get behind projects.
Sunny Hwang, vice-president and head of global sports marketing at Samsung, said: "Utilising social media is the most effective and efficient way to deliver our marketing programmes.
"The Olympics is the centre of our brand marketing. Through the Olympic sponsorship we have succeeded in increasing the brand awareness and preference, but we are still trying to increase the brand preferences more, and our brand mission is to make Samsung an aspirational brand.
Samsung is hoping to consolidate its position in the UK market through marketing, while there are strict regulations in place to prevent rivals carrying out ambush marketing during the Olympics.
Samsung's market share for mobile phones doubled in China from 11% to 21% as a result of its sponsorship of the Beijing Olympics, according to Hwang.
Hwang believes the Olympic activity will give Samsung the edge in its increasingly intense battle against Apple.
He said: "We have better technology, better design and better products and we are the Olympic partner, not Apple - that's a big difference."
The mobile brand will base its Olympic marketing activity around an 'Everyone's Olympic Games' theme, while Samsung claims it is giving its tens of thousands of Olympic tickets to ordinary people through various different channels.
Hwang added: "Even those who don't have the tickets can enjoy the Games through their mobile technology anywhere, so we will be inviting everyone for the London Olympics."
Samsung will look to extend the blogger programme to more than 60 countries where it has subsidiaries during its sponsorship of the 2016 Brazil Olympics, and will open discussions after London 2012 with the IOC to extend its sponsorship beyond 2016.

Grimm Review: Death by Flash Mob!by Nick McHatton at . Comments
"Beeware" of social media! It's what all the Killer Bees are using now.
All lame jokes and flash mobs aside, this episode did provide some much-needed conspiracy that was absent last week, shedding some light on Adalind and Captain Renard. Although, I wish a little more was laid out than what we saw here.
I hate to sound choosy because I'm truly glad the mythology and ground work needed to make the show more than just a procedural are being built up, but "I won't let anything happen to you" and "it's close" is not very much to go with. Yes, it looks like some of the creatures are with the Grimms (whatever that is), and the bees are one of them.
However, the only thing these "sides" are telling me is there is a line in the sand, but the stakes and what's being fought for is still shrouded in fog.
I've gone with far less on far more mediocre shows, though, and I'm more than willing to give Grimm a pass this early in the season. Especially when it's so much fun!
Nick and Hank continue to have a solid, professional relationship that works well within the confines of the "real world." The victims are solidly incorporated within this world and the Grimm one, although I'm kind of surprised none of the cops were even the least bit suspicious of a mansion that resembled a giant beehive inside. Minor details, I know.
Which leads me to my biggest gripe about the episode: the lack of Eddie. I understand he won't always be needed in a very large capacity, and he's still tossing out riotously funny quips with and at Nick. But at this point in the series his only purpose is being a catalyst to quickly bring the supernatural element into the case and update Nick on the ins and outs for the fairy tale creature of the week.
Seriously, even Nick's still useless girlfriend Juliette had more screen time than Eddie. Using her magical vet skills to cure bee stings and trying really hard to spoon Nick in bed. I'm holding out hope that she's some kind of fairy tale creature, but it's getting harder and harder to watch her do nothing while a far better character is being thrown to the side.
Overall, "Beeware" was another enjoyable episode, and who doesn't enjoy a good flash mob? I just wish some things were progressing along a little faster and smoother.
Other thoughts:
- People still use boomboxes? Didn't we leave those in the 90s with ye olde cassette player?
- I was glad to see Aunt Marie's trailer still has a role. I feared Nick might have done away with it along with her death.
- For being such a prominent figure in Nick's life Aunt Marie's death has no lasting emotional consequences for Nick.

i agree with the review.
@RealDiehl: "Picture this (or not): John Cusack, Peter Gabriel, and an ipod" HAHAHAHAH....just wouldn't be the same, would it? I really enjoyed this episode, more so than the previous two. I like that the mythology and conspiracy is getting more complicated. I always figured there were good monsters - Aunt Marie did say kill the "bad ones", so there must be good ones. I also missed Eddie - he's the best thing on that show. I'm also hoping that Nick confides in Hank at some point. And I'm REALLY hoping that the girlfriend becomes more than a prop, or at least becomes a source of emotional dissonance for Nick - Aunt Marie did tell him he has to break up with her because it's too dangerous. One thing I did note - and LOVED - during the episode was the use of colour. There was a LOT of yellow/black, from the first perp's phone to the clothes that the bee-people were wearing. I think that kind of detail is awesome.
LOL! Ye Olde cassette player...Nice touch. Picture this (or not): John Cusack, Peter Gabriel, and an ipod Agree with Farsia about the info. in the books. I've paused the DVR to try and read some of what's written but it's just too small. The pictures alone don't explain enough.
you'd look a bit stupid holding up an ipod dock wouldn't you? Plus there's no bass on those things.
Eddie should have his own show!
Great new show
The boombox used in the scene did have an iPod dock, so not that outlandish.
i am officially in love with this tv show, i will repeat myself and list all the things i love about it from my last comments but they are all there, the atmosphere, the suspense, the gothic fairy-tale quality of it all.... perfect!!
i like how every ep they start slow just like the fairy tales are in books and then they add layer by layer building up with suspense and clues and even if you listen closely you'll hear that the music in the background becomes louder as the ep progresses.
well we've already figured out that there are creatures who don't need to be killed just because of what they are, some of them are good, we figured it out when we met the fabulous reformed wolf, but it was interesting to find out that there are entire species that are on the side of goodness.
it was good to see Nick have a little face off with the blondie, now he knows who she is and hopefully will be able to dig deeper now.
Eddie WAS terribly missed by me too but this is not a show about him, i get that, unfortunately my prob is that Nick(the actor who plays him i mean) has a very difficult time building some sort of a relationship between him and Hank and playing off of the chemistry that they have because Hank is so damn boring and uninteresting, he is like an empty prop in my eyes so the actor who plays Nick really struggles with the lack of response from his fellow actor, but when he is with Eddie, he comes alive because they have really chemistry and they truly enjoy playing with each other as actors. my entire family consists of Directors and musicians and ballet dancers, so i know the world of actors inside out and it was obvious for all of us.
Nick's girlfriend is just unbelievably annoying, if they wanted a pretty prop they should have at least made her pretty and not looking like a B class older woman next to Nick. well probably when he will get closer to the main bad guy sth will happen to her or sth. i don't know but i hope she either dies or becomes he bad guy, she doesn't even need to be supernatural herself, maybe she is married to one or has been brainwashed or an odd child out, like her brothers or sisters go the gift from their parents but she missed or sth and this is her way of being useful. this would of course mean that the bad guys know about the trailer, oops!
oh and they should really have a narrator read out to us what Nick is reading in those books so that he won't have to repeat it afterwards with Eddie, plus i am just curious.

text: Thompson Appointed Alabama Marine Police Director Conservation Commissioner N. Gunter Guy Jr. announces that Walter S. "Steve" Thompson is the new director of the Alabama Marine Police Division. Thompson most recently served as Deputy Chief of Police with the Montgomery, Ala. Police Department. "Steve Thompson brings a wealth of knowledge to our Department," Guy said. "He has experience in supervising large numbers of personnel, interacting with local, state and national organizations, community relations and administrative procedures. Those skills, along with his vast training in law enforcement, will be valuable in this job. The Alabama Marine Police Director supervises the routine safety patrol of Alabama's waterways, which is handled by approximately 57 field officers. In addition, the position oversees the registration of all pleasure boats, licensing of boat operators, boat and marine accessory theft, a statewide boating education program, and assists other state, local and federal officers in enforcement activities relating to homeland security, maritime and waterway smuggling, drug interdiction, and other serious crimes committed in the marine environment. The Marine Police Division also administers the waterway hazard and control marking program, presently overseeing more than 1,600 hazard and control markers and zones. Thompson says he is ready to serve the citizens of the state. "It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of this organization," he said of his appointment to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. "Alabama's Marine Police have an outstanding record of promoting safety and boating education, and I hope to continue that. "I like challenges," Thompson added. "After 31 years in law enforcement, I believe that my experience and contacts will help me to build bridges between this organization and other law enforcement agencies throughout the state of Alabama. I look forward to working with our staff and will encourage them to look at new ways of doing old things. There might be ways we can do things differently and even more effectively," he said. Thompson is a graduate of FBI National Academy located in Quantico, Va., and a current member of the Alabama Chapter of the FBI National Academy Associates. Prior to his police experience, Thompson served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He is a native of Montgomery and resides there with his wife Robin, a flight attendant with Delta Airlines. They are members of Heritage Baptist Church. The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries. ###

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he took his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After two years at Montana State University in Missoula, David entered the doctoral program at the University of Utah but accepted a position at Virginia in 1954 before completing the degree.

David's primary career focus has been scenery and lighting design. At the University of Virginia he designed more than 150 productions and directed over thirty. During his tenure as chair David established a Master of Fine Arts program, saw to the completion of a two theatre home for the Drama Department, opened in 1974, and co-founded the Heritage Repertory Theatre, also in 1974. David has also designed eighteen outdoor historical dramas and has been active with the Institute of Outdoor Drama since its beginnings, now serving as a consultant to that organization.
A founding member of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education, David remains active in the US Institute for Theatre Technology as well as the Southeastern Theatre Conference of which he is a past president. David is a member and past Trustee of the National Theatre Conference and is a Fellow of the American Theatre.
In 1995 Region IV of the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival honored David by presenting him with a Kennedy Center Medallion for his continuing work and interest in ACTF; on that occasion the design awards presented annually to students in the states comprising ACTF Region IV were declared the David W. Weiss Awards for Excellence in Design.
Though now retired from teaching full time, David has had an active career as a consultant to architects designing theatres and amphitheatres throughout the United States. He continues to serve as a guest designer and occasionally offers master classes in scenery and stage lighting design.

I took a fashion quiz and it told me that I am "classic chic." I agreed with the assessment for the most part, but I do like more pops of color than they suggested for me. I'm ok with this.
If I can get my weight down a bit more, I can start building a decent wardrobe. I would love to get some work pieces from Anthropologie. I adore that store, and they carry a lot of items that work in a professional setting.
I am having an easier time honing my professional style than my casual at-home style. I do have some very nice-looking jeans and I do tend to wear solid-colored tops. Some have details like empire waists and ruching but I would like a little more personality in my casual wardrobe. I'm still also stuck on quality issues.

Sudan reaffirms support for Ethiopia dam project
Addis Ababa, 11 June 2014 (WIC) - Sudanese Vice President Bekri Hassan Saleh has reaffirmed his country's support for Ethiopia's multibillion dam construction project.
"Sudan will derive multiple benefits from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam project," Saleh said at a meeting with Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn on Tuesday.
Last year, Sudan backed an Ethiopian decision to change the course of the Blue Nile – one of the Nile River's most important tributaries – in advance of building a multibillion-dollar hydroelectric dam, plans for which had already impacted relations between Cairo and Addis Ababa.
Ethiopia says it needs the dam to generate badly-needed electricity. Egypt, for its part, says the dam will reduce its traditional share of the Nile River, its main source of water.
Last December, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir said Khartoum would enjoy a large share of the electricity generated by the dam.
A tripartite committee of experts from Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan was drawn up in 2011 and tasked with assessing the dam's environmental, economic and social impact on downstream states Egypt and Sudan.
The committee's activities came to a standstill in January over differences between Ethiopia and Egypt, the latter of which fears that the $6.4-billion dam will threaten its traditional access to Nile water.
At Tuesday's meeting, Saleh also called on Ethiopia to exert its utmost efforts to end the conflict in neighboring South Sudan.
Hailemariam, for his part, told the Sudanese official that Ethiopia had been working to help South Sudan's warring parties find viable solution to the crisis ever since it erupted last December.
"Ethiopia will continue to put pressure on the South Sudanese rivals through all channels available," he said. (World Bulletin)

Miami – Velo Vogue (Kate)Join us in New York to capture the fun!
Momentum Magazine is in New York City and we are putting on a fashion show at the Bike Expo New York on Saturday, May 5th. Expected attendance at the Expo is 30,000+
http://www.bikenewyork.org/ bike-expo-new-york/
We're looking to work with a professional photographer on Saturday to cover the fashion shows and do some side portraits. Here's what we're looking for:
- a photographer to shoot both fashion shows - 11am and 3pm - taking action shots during the show and covering the event from a number of angles.
- in between the two shows, we'd like to pull 3-4 models and do portrait sessions outside in the neighbourhood.
Our budget is $500 for this job and would require unlimited usage of the fashion show images by both Bike New York and Momentum Magazine. We would take delivery of a full-res collection of images after the show for editorial, promotional and marketing use by both organizations. A complete look book from the show is an immediate goal.
For the side portraits - shot exclusively for Momentum Magazine - we can pay an additional licensing fee (a small honourarium tbd) upon publication of these images in Momentum Magazine's print and digital mediums. We are looking for full-page personality/style portraits for upcoming issues of Momentum Magazine.
Please get in touch at email@example.com (subject line: BE NY photo) if you are interested and include relevant samples of your work and related information. The deadline is Monday, April 30th to apply, but the sooner the better!
Thank you!

Recovery from The Great Recession has been described in a number of ways (many of them not fit for print), but one illustration had us imagining a bowl. Rather than the sharply angled, linear representations we so often see on charts and graphs (up-down, up-down, up-down), the road back out of economic doldrums, we were told, would look more like a curved dip, a rounded bottom and then a gentle, curved rise. Picture a mixing bowl, perhaps one suitable for making cookie dough.
That may have held true for other industries, but it's not so for the green industry, according to Bob Dolibois, executive vice president of the American Nursery and Landscape Association (ANLA). The general economy appears to be taking that soft-landing and soft-ascent route, but Dolibois said years ago that recovery for the green industry would resemble a cookie sheet - long, low and flat.
And he's right. While some in the industry believe we haven't yet hit bottom, others agree that this long, low and flat period is a time of reorientation. Taking benchmarks and making adjustments are a normal part of normal business operations, whether the economic climate is normal or not. Business as usual just isn't business as usual anymore, and it never will be. Rather, "usual" will be what we make of it.
So when American Nurseryman set out to develop a state-of-the-industry report, we knew it needed to be another kind of usual. Though valuable and informative, the "normal" type - which often involves numbers and rankings - just didn't seem to fit. In this disorienting business climate, we wanted to hear green industry leaders talk about where we are and where we're going.
The report, which begins on page 6, is divided into two parts. In the first section, leaders of green industry associations discuss the issues we face: each identifies the top three challenges, and then each addresses more specific questions regarding labor, legislative topics, marketing, and the environment and natural resources. We hear their unique points of view as stewards of the industry.
In the second part, we hear from business owners and managers - folks who tell us of their individual experiences and who share the perspective of leaders whose day-to-day decisions and long-range planning keep companies running and workers employed. They, too, identified the top challenges they face and go on to discuss the topics addressed by our first group.
Our participants include Ben Bolusky, CEO of the Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association; Bob Dolibois; Bob Fitch, ED of the Minnesota Nursery & Landscape Association; Michael Geary, CEO of OFA - The Association of Horticulture Professionals; Jeff Stone, ED/CEO of the Oregon Association of Nurseries; Rick Crowder, general manager, Hawksridge Farms, Hickory, N.C.; Tom Demaline, president of Willoway Nurseries Inc., Avon, Ohio; Jeff Edgar, co-owner of Silver Creek Nurseries, Manitowoc, Wis.; Gary Knosher, president of Midwest Groundcovers, St. Charles, Ill.; Jeff O'Donal, president of O'Donal's Nursery, Gorham, Maine; and Bart Worthington, general manager, Mountain States Wholesale Nursery, Litchfield Park, Ariz.
They had so much to say that we ran out of room. But we've posted the final couple of questions - and the very telling responses - online. We didn't want to leave out one word. (The full report appears in our digital edition.)
Which leads me to this: How are you reorienting to this new normal? (Sorry, but it fit.) We'd love to share your thoughts and continue this conversation, so please let us know what's on your mind. You can go to our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/AmericanNurserymanMagazine, or e-mail me directly at email@example.com.
In this disorienting business climate, we wanted to hear green industry leaders talk about where we are and where we're going.

A Hundred Years of War
By Anthony Gregory, The Beacon
One hundred years ago today, Austria-Hungary fired the first shots of World War I, sparking its conflict with Serbia. Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb, had assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Mutual defense agreements ensured that the political clash did not remain regional. Austria-Hungary got support from Germany, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. Serbia found allies in Britain, France, Belgium, Greece, Romania, Italy, Russia, Portugal, Montenegro, Japan, Brazil and the United States. The global war likely qualified as the worst bloodbath the world had yet to see, certainly in such a short duration. Fifteen million or more died in less than five years. Tens of millions were wounded, displaced, or orphaned. Disease spread. The international trade and exchange that existed before the war never fully recovered.
World War I was a low point for liberties within the United States, once America finally got engaged in the battle. People went to prison for criticizing the military or opposing the draft. Surveillance of the citizenry and crackdowns on dissent became normal. Domestic regulation and taxation skyrocketed. Almost nothing that happened during the New Deal did not have some precursor in Wilsonís wartime domestic governance. There was hope for the United States becoming freer and freer in the early 20th century. World War I altered that picture dramatically. Almost everything the federal government has done in the last century has roots in the 1910s.
For the West and the rest of the world, World War I was in a sense the worst tragedy of all time. World War II was bigger and badder, but had distinct causes in the First World War and its aftermath. During the war, both the Allies and Central Powers committed horrific atrocities. The Germans conducted ghastly submarine warfare. The British starved German civilians. Chemical weapons and trench fighting took the lives of millions in totally pointless battles over useless stretches of territory.
When the United States finally mobilized fully for war, the effort was sold as a way to save democracy and end war for all time. Out of the ashes of World War I emerged not peace and liberty, but reaction and totalitarianism. Communism took root in Eastern Europe. Fascism captured Italy and Germany. Militarists took over Japan. Managerial statism dominated in the West. The conditions for mass tyranny and another world war, even more atrocious and larger than its predecessor, were now in place. The instability of the Middle East also traces back to the work of Westerners in marking territorial boundaries according to their own priorities and bad assumptions.
The worst regimes and cataclysms of the first half of the twentieth century had roots in the international war that began a hundred years ago today. It was the beginning of three decades of unspeakable suffering, what some scholars collectively call the hemocylsm--World War I, the Soviet atrocities, World War II and its atrocities from the Holocaust to the atomic bombings. These terrors of course gave way to the Cold War, the fears of MAD, the mutually reinforcing cycle of violence between Islamic fundamentalism and Western imperialism.
Next time a war is recommended to secure peace and freedom, I recommend we all say, no thank you. Weíre still suffering from the first one.

Now official: After finalizing a five-year deal, the Buccaneers officially have hired Greg Schiano as their next head coach.
Now official: After finalizing a five-year deal, the Buccaneers officially have hired Greg Schiano as their next head coach.
That is HUGE!!!! Looks like Joe Philbin will get his man (Sherman) to be his offensive coordinator afterall.
2014 Miami Dolphins Draft Class
1. OT: Ja'wuan James -Tennessee
2. WR: Jarvis Landry -LSU
3. OT: Billy Turner-North Dakota State
4. DB: Walt Aikens-Liberty
5. TE: Authur Lynch - Georgia
5. LB: Jordan Tripp - Montana
6. WR: Matt Hazel-Coastal Carolina
7. DE: Terrance Fede- Marist
Now we have to lock up ST coach Rizzi so he doesn't bolt to take the Rutgers job.
Sherman hired Philben in the packers now Philben might hire Sherman in the Dolpins
This is legit one of the worst coaching moves I have ever seen. i feel sorry for the bucs
and people make fun of our coaching search?
The FO of the Bucs obviously was wanting to go outside the box. They attempted to hire Kelly now they get Schiano. For some reason they liked the idea of a college coach. Only time will tell if it works.
Hopefully ray rice goes to the bucs and gets out of the AFC.
Allen has one good year as a DC and really not alot of experience being a position coach.Allen is a an example of people getting a coaching job that they didnt earn in my opinion.
Sciano is not a sexy hire but he has been a head coach at Rutgers for almost a decade and has 5 bowl games. Doesnt sound that awesome until you realize that without him in their 140 season history they had 2 bowl games. I applaud all three state teams on all getting solid coaching hires.
