Hi all!
I've had this visiting bug in my house for a while now! I've looke around the web, I think it's a Wheel Bug? Well I've supplied a PIC here and I'de like to know if it is! Many thanks, Ted |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nope. Instead, leaf-footed bug. |
Looks like a Western Conifer seed bug (a type of leaf-footed bug) to be exact. A fairly typical home invader in some parts of the country (the NE, for example). I'm going to attach an image to a wheel bug so that you can see the difference. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Careful.....handle this one with care!

I am at a loss as to where to go,we have a large swarm of bugs similar to teds except black, some have a red spot on their back, some just have a red out line, that makes it resemble a tuxedo.I am new to the area, when the warm weather first arrived it was swarms of lady bugs trying to get in. that did not bother me except that they would die, so I scooped them back out side as much as I could. I just do not know what these are . thank you Gail |
You are probably seeing Boxelder bugs, having hatched out and are swarming in many locations around the country. They are considered relatively harmless, just pesky. Look up Boxelder Bug and see if that's not your critter. In the future, if you need help with a pest, just post your very own message. That way, you will be assured of getting the personal attention your question deserves. |
It's what we call a stink bug- whether that's the right name or not. Got 'em at home, got them at work. Squish one in a tissue and smell it- you'll get why they're called stink bugs. |

Super Bowl
- The now legendary Taiwanese animators are a staple of our Buzz feed, and their latest is no exception. This one's making the rounds pretty quickly this morning, which I'm assuming is because of the Big Ben clock tower genitalia, or perhaps Rex Ryan choosing feet over the Super Bowl…
- It seems all but certain now that Steelers centre Maurkice Pouncey won't play Sunday. But this is the Super Bowl, a game accompanied by secrecy that rivals the Pentagon, and nothing is official yet regarding Pouncey. The secrecy could end soon, because head coach Mike Tomlin has said that if Pouncey doesn't practice today, he won't be suiting up.
- Cowboys Stadium–dubbed "Jerryworld"–cost $1.2 billion, and comes complete with nearly every amenity the mind can imagine, including cheerleaders dancing pretty much wherever you'd like them to dance. But for all of its lavishness, Jerry Jones' grand creation is missing one key ingredient: hot water in the Cowboys locker room, the same one the Packers are borrowing for the week.
- Even if he leads the Steelers to victory this weekend, Kurt Warner doesn't think that we should start designing Ben Roethlisberger's Hall of Fame bust quite yet.
- Often casual fans (i.e. wives and girlfriends) think of odd, abstract questions when they're making an honest attempt to become engaged in the usual Sunday afternoon insanity. It's a product of their decision to adopt the always wise "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" approach. Asking what players do during the game if nature calls definitely falls under this category. Steelers lineman Chris Kemoeatu takes a rather unconventional approach…
Not the Super Bowl
- The NFL and NFLPA are headed for a nasty divorce in about a month, only this kind of divorce is a little perplexing. It involves the two groups at the core of the richest business in North American professional sports essentially arguing about who gets to keep the Ferrari and who gets the Lamborghini once all the divorce papers are signed. Judging by the comments from the NFLPA's executive director DeMaurice Smith on Thursday, it seems there's little common ground between the two rich spouses.
- Jay Gruden has started his tenure as the newest offensive coordinator in Cincinnati the way every good coordinator should: by publicly coddling his star quarterback who's seeking a trade.
- For the second straight year the Raiders will likely use a franchise tag to retain the services of defensive tackle Richard Seymour.
- Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson, and offensive linemen Jamaal Jackson and Todd Herremans made an appearance on The View yesterday to support a Pennsylvania high school student named Nathan Khoury who was the victim of a brutal bullying incident. The student received DeSean's jersey, who then told the teen that the Eagles "have his back."

Team One CU donated food collected during their annual food drive to Hidden Harvest |
… Team One CU recently had its annual Food Drive to collect nonperishable food items in Saginaw, Tuscola, Huron and Sanilac counties. Credit union-wide, more than 1,950 food items were collected. Team One employees and members brought in food to be distributed to food banks and organizations in time for Thanksgiving. The food collected was donated to Hidden Harvest in Saginaw, the Fill the Trucks event to support Tuscola county families sponsored by Moore Motors in Caro, Eva's Place in Sandusky and the Elkton United Methodist Church Food Pantry. Additionally, the three Team One branches that collected the most food were awarded a cash prize to donate to the charity of their choice. The main office in Saginaw donated to the Lighthouse Outreach of Saginaw. The two other winning teams donated to the Thumb Area Assault Crisis Center in Caro and Toys for Tots in Sandusky.
Rivers Edge Community CU Wears Jeans to Help a Needy Family Employees of Rivers Edge Community CU participated in jeans day fundraisers during 2012 to support the needy family they adopted for Christmas. More than $1,000 was raised plus some departments of the credit union opted to donate funds to the cause instead of exchanging gifts. Each year the credit union adopts a family through the Family Resource Center. |
… Some savvy shopping and a bit of good luck helped Lake Michigan CU double the number of presents it was able to donate to Toys for Tots from donations this year. Credit union employees Vickie Smith and Rachel Decker had taken $1,600 in donations from its members to Kohl's to purchase gifts for the well-known Marine Corps program. Smith furthered the donation by using a coupon for 30 percent as well as $240 in "Kohl's cash" as a user of the store's rewards program. But what happened next is what truly makes the story special. According to MLive.com, the pair was approached by the manager as they exited Kohl's Grandville store and told that they had been selected as that day's winner of the store's Dream Receipt Holiday Sweepstakes and the store would pick up the tab for the entire purchase. "Rachel and I looked at each other and started crying. We had to compose ourselves," said Smith, who is the Grand Rapids-based credit union's director of community involvement and business development. Decker is the coordinator of those programs. So the pair went back into the store and bought more toys totaling about $1,000. They spent the remainder of the money at another store where they bought games geared toward older boys. The toys were to be distributed to children in Ottawa and Kent counties. The pair were selected at random, store Manager Bob Carlton said. "We have no idea who it is, it's just the first person that comes by us," Carlton said. "It just worked out that an organization benefited."
Judi Desilets, Credit Union ONE director of public relations, and John Kozich, Credit Union ONE executive director of community relations, show the credit union's awards. |
... For the second year, Credit Union ONE has participated in the Step Out Walk for Diabetes, but this year the credit union really increased its efforts. At an awards ceremony on Nov. 7 the credit union was recognized for its outstanding efforts for the walk. Having 165 walkers from the Credit Union ONE team earned it the 2012 Largest Team Award, and because of its sponsorship and team donations the credit union was awarded 2012 Top Ten Corporate Team. "We are so appreciative of these awards, they are a true testament to the efforts of our walkers, said Judi Desilets, Credit Union ONE director of public relations. The commitment by our entire organization was evident as we joined the community to help fight such a dreadful disease."
Many children told Santa what they wanted for Christmas this year at the Chesterfield Township Tree Lighting Ceremony. |
… Genisys CU sponsored the Chesterfield Twp.Tree Lighting Ceremony on Dec. 7 at the Chesterfield Township Municipal Offices. This festive event included Christmas caroling, a holiday craft, cookies, cocoa and Santa's arrival by fire truck. "Santa's arrival is a memorable holiday experience enjoyed by the young and old alike," said Amanda Willard, Chesterfield Twp. Parks and Recreation programmer. "Santa not only gives kids a candy cane but also a special wrapped gift." More than 300 people attended the annual tree-lighting event to see the township supervisor present Santa with the key to the township and to participate in the community sing-a-long. "We are lucky to have the continued participation of the Chippewa Valley Alumni Choir who captures the spirit of the season with their uplifting vocals," Willard said. "They are always a delight." The neighboring historical village also opened its doors for guests to step back in time for an old fashion Christmas celebration, and the historical Weller School House was available to visit. "The tree lighting ceremony is one of the many wonderful events that Genisys sponsors in Chesterfield Township throughout the year," Genisys President/CEO Jackie Buchanan said. "It's a great way for families to celebrate all that the season has to offer."
James Knight, United FCU vice president of member relations, Berrien Sheriff's Deputy deputy Jamie Laughlin, Undersheriff Charles Heit, Deputy Donald Lighthart, Jr., and UFCU Branch Manager Brittany Grasley recognize the UFCU's donation for the department's motorcycle unit. |
… United FCU donated $2,500 to the Berrien Sheriff's Department to help keep the motorcycle unit operating in the county. Earlier this fall, it was announced that the motorcycle unit would be disbanded unless funds were raised to help offset costs. Several local organizations stepped up with donations to keep the bikes rolling. The motorcycle unit operates six Harley-Davidson Police Road King motorcycles in more than 40 events each year. "United Federal Credit Union wants to keep the Berrien County Sheriff's Department Motorcycle Unit in the community," UFCU Chief Development Officer Duane Nelson said. "The motorcycle unit's assistance in the area is key to keeping the residents of Berrien County safe and UFCU is supporting the unit's efforts." The Berrien County Sheriff's Department Motorcycle Unit operates police motorcycles April through November. The motorcycles are used for routine patrol in addition to participating in community events such as motorcade escorts for funerals, benefit rides and visiting dignitaries; school and community programs; parade escorts; traffic assistance, and the Blossomtime Queen Tour. The motorcycle unit has eight certified officers who participate in monthly training and are recertified each year with additional training. Officers train in low-speed maneuvers, emergency deceleration and braking, high-speed lane changes and collision avoidance. The motorcycle unit provides public safety service where standard patrol units are not practical. "The bikes are a vital tool to providing safety for many events we have throughout the summer and it's great to have support from businesses like United Federal Credit Union and other private funding to help us get through tough economic times," Undersheriff Charles Heit said. Other donors include Kalin Construction, Lane Automotive, Honor CU, and Whirlpool Corp.

… OMNI Community CU announced it will be rewarding members with its fifth annual Cashback Rebate. OMNI started the rebate program in 2008 and since then has returned $4 million to members. "We want our membership to know we truly appreciate their trust in us and that they are what make this cooperative so successful," OMNI CEO Ted Parsons said. "Without their faith that we are always looking out for their best interests, we wouldn't be the institution we are today. That's a responsibility everyone at OMNI takes very seriously. Our membership is the best out there, and every time we help someone we're trying to show them why they made the right decision coming to us." OMNI's Cashback Rebate is simple: The more savings and loans balances you have with the Credit Union, the more your share of the rebate will be. The rebate will be deposited to members' regular savings accounts on Jan. 11. "Explaining the Cashback Rebate to members, new and old, is always a joy," OMNI Personal Advisor Anne Johnson said. "I love seeing their astonished faces when they realize that OMNI pays them just for belonging. Knowing that we are here to help them has really solidified that family feeling we are known for." "Providing the Cashback Rebate to members is something our team strives for every year," OMNI CFO Mark Cramer said. "With the loyalty of our membership and the excellent guidance of our Board of Directors, we are proud to say the Cashback Rebate has been possible for the past five years."

… Northland Area FCU had an exceptional Toys for Tots campaign in December. "Everyone's been so generous – this is the most toys we've collected in years," said Oscoda branch Manager Alane Taylor. Amid dozens of games, dolls and stuffed animals donated by Northland members and staff, retired woodworking enthusiast Alvin Miller (a Northland member since 1961) brought his own special donation – hundreds of wooden toy cars and trucks he'd crafted with his own hands.

… Jami, Robert, Tyson and Cheyanne Torres of Romeo got an early visit from Santa this year with WKQI 95.5-FM Channel 955's Mojo in the Morning "Breaking & Entering" and Community Choice CU. Along with many hard-working families, the Torres family has been hit during this difficult economic time. Jami and Robert, both veteran marines, have been dealt a tough hand bouncing back from service; along with Jami's growing health concerns. Channel 955's Mojo in the Morning brings the holidays to local families who are experiencing hardship. Year after year, they "break in" and load 'em up with truck-loads of food, necessities and gifts. This is the second time this year that the radio show teamed up with Community Choice to help a family in need. The credit union and 120 team members pitched in, totaling $2,500. The money raised purchased home and personal necessities, including clothing, toys and money to help with bills. "Community Choice Credit Union has a tremendous respect for those who provide military service for our country." Community Choice CU CEO Robert Bava said. "We are thankful for the Torres' sacrifice while enlisted, and honored to be able to give back in their time of need. Our prayers are with Jamie and the whole Torres family in hopes for a safe, healthy and happy new year."
AAACU employees show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness by walking as a team at the Relay for Life and the sixth annual Zonta Walks for Women. |
… Throughout the third quarter of 2012, Alpena Alcona Area CU's Main and North offices focused their fundraising efforts on the Relay for Life and the sixth annual Zonta Walks for Women event. With the help of the credit union's membership, employees raised a combined total of $3,793. These funds will help pay for mammograms for those who cannot afford to get an annual exam as well as assist in research to find a cure for cancer. Both the Relay for Life and the Zonta Walks for Women celebrate cancer survivors, celebrate the lives of those lost to cancer and provide encouragement to those currently battling the disease. They also stress the importance of early detection and prevention. These life changing events truly make a difference in the fight against cancer. Each branch accepted monetary donations from its members and sold candy bars and snacks. Along with the member donations, a raffle was held for a grill package. AAACU also donated $1 for every "like" received on its Facebook page.
… When important information gets into the wrong hands it can be devastating for those affected. In an effort to help members and the community at large, Credit Union ONE recently hosted a document shredding day at its Ferndale branch. Approximately 150 people turned out on Oct. 27 to protect themselves from identity theft and fraud by shredding more than 5,000 pounds of confidential personal and business documents. Documents containing information such as social security numbers, addresses, account information, financial records or personal data, can be stolen and used to open lines of credit, use existing credit cards or to falsify personal information. Shredding documents that contain private information can protect individuals and businesses from fraudulent use of confidential data. "The shredding event was created to raise awareness about the risks of identity theft and fraud, and to provide a safe and convenient way to dispose of unneeded paperwork," said John Kozich, executive director of community relations for Credit Union ONE. "Credit Union ONE has plans to continue offering this service at various Credit Union ONE branches continuing into next year." Kozich coordinated the three hour event, working closely with Shred Corp., the industry-leading company that donated its time and equipment to provide secure onsite shredding services. The shredded paper waste collected was taken away for recycling into paper towel.

Dana Hartwick, senior teller at Astera's Marketplace Branch, has spearheaded Astera's fundraising efforts both years by organizing candy sales, bake sales and raffle contests. "I do this," said Hartwick, "because my children have benefitted from the program. I know how deeply it affects a family and now it's my chance to return the kindness." Hartwick is already planning fundraising opportunities for next year's Grand Ledge Shopping Tour.
Collectively, Northland Area FCU's 13 branches distributed much needed supplies across seven counties in northeastern Michigan. Northland staff members - from the West Branch (top), Oscoda and Fairview branches - display a few of the items collected for needy families during the month of November. |

The lobby collection tables filled up quickly as staff donated items and generous members added to the mix. Food, cleaning supplies and personal hygiene products were among the many items collected for area food pantries, homeless and women's shelters. "We were so happy to be able to do this for our community," Fairview branch Manager Sue Jurkiewicz said. "Our members are the best – they added to our donations in a big way. Thank you to everyone who helped us out." West Branch II Brianna Crandall branch manager said helping those in needs feels good. "Thanks to all the generous donations from Northland members and staff, we were able to collect over 200 items to donate to this worthy cause."

making ladles, and large spoons

BUT! if you or your client likes the hammer marks then all the above is just type on a page! I like both ways and will make a few of each when making ladles.
Posted 14 September 2010 - 11:48 PM
There`s also instructions for making both wood and plastic mallets there too if you can`t find that info here under sheet metal,non-ferrous or armor work.

All you need is the plastic(or wood),a wood lathe and a decently sharp chisel.
I find making the hollows in the stump to be more trouble.
Don`t know what your shop consists of there Clay so your mileage may vary.
Posted 15 September 2010 - 11:05 AM
Probably need to learn how to anneal the materials and work cold for such thin stuff.
Also the high density plastics make neat hammers and can be turned on a wood lathe with carbide tooling.
Posted 15 September 2010 - 11:41 AM
I've always heard this, so I'm just passing it along.
That said, I've since wondered about the big, unlined copper pots used for apple butter. Seems like there isn't much problem there.
But if apple butter is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Posted 15 September 2010 - 04:30 PM
but seriously, i wouldn't worry about copper leaching unless you leav the spoons in the food during storage. i would love to get one of those copper kettles, because we have a lot of apples this year and we aren't sure if the root cellar is finished enough to keep them in. we have a large cast iron kettle but you can't make apple butter in them or they crack.
looks like were making cider and wine this year!

Copper and steel can be forged the same. You have to do copper at a little lower heat, do not go above a red heat. As long as you have a rounding hammer that comes close to fitting the swage you intend to use, the copper or steel will conform nicely to your shape. I have forged copper and watched Brian Brazeale do it on a larger scale, it is some great stuff to forge. It will teach you hammer control as well as anything because you can see every mark you leave. I do not have a swage block therefore any spoons or ladles I make are shaped with a wood stump. Wood works just as well with steel. Its like everything, the more you forge the better you get. Make several of the same thing. Take a picture of the first one then take a picture of the last one and show us how you did. You will definitely learn something and if you share what you leaned with us we can all benefit from it.
Happy Forging,

I make apple butter every year and give away all but a few pints for myself.
It's not course like apple sauce. Depending on the amount of cloves you can make it as spicy as you like. Good on toast or english muffins.

North Coast Section Division IV quarterfinals
Saturday, 1 p.m., San Marin
Local news source
- Marin football The IJ's football page is your source for youth, high school, college and pro coverage. Join the conversation on Twitter with #marinfootball.
Outlook: A rematch of the teams' MCAL opener, which saw San Marin fall behind 21-10 in the fourth quarter before two late touchdowns allowed the Mustangs to stun Drake 23-21. This time, even more will be on the line as the teams meet in the North Coast Section Division IV quarterfinals. Each team won on the road in its NCS opener, with 15th-seeded Drake downing No. 2 Valley Christian on Friday before No. 10 San Marin stopped No. 7 Fortuna on Saturday. Both teams will look to contain mobile quarterbacks — Drake's Tyler Weeks and San Marin's Manny Wilkins are both run/pass threats — while also hoping to slow the other team's running game. Both team's defensive fronts were stout last weekend, as they were in the first Drake-San Marin game, when neither team averaged more than 2.
MIRAMONTE (7-4) at MARIN CATHOLIC (9-1)
NCS D-III quarterfinals
Saturday, 1 p.m., Kentfield
Outlook: In the playoffs most teams are unfamiliar with their opponent, not having seen them in the regular season. Not true in this case as both teams faced off in the first game of the season for both teams, with the Wildcats winning 31-14. However, the Matadors did hold a 14-10 lead during that game giving coach Jack Schram and the rest of his team confidence that they can hang with MC. The Wildcats scored 21 unanswered points, aided by five Miramonte turnovers. "We knew that we're a really good program and they've been an upper-echelon program the last few years," Schram said. "We have to eliminate the turnovers and we can play with them." One of the Matadors' top weapons is Division-I caliber receiver Zati Williams who caught four touchdown passes from quarterback Drew Anderson in last week's 35-7 win over Tennyson. "He's a very good player," MC coach Mazi Moayed said. "They've got more than one good player on their team." Anderson finished with 260 yards and five TD passes. Miramonte's defense held Tennyson to 38 yards of total offense led by their linebacking core of Beennet Stehr, Conor Bruen and Jonathan McDonald. The Matadors will have to try and keep MC quarterback Jared Goff from piling up the stats as he did last week in a 38-7 victory over Hercules. Goff threw for 246 yards and four touchdowns. Running back Akili Terry did his share of damage as well, rolling up 187 rushing yards and scoring one touchdown. "Our offensive line has been playing pretty darn good and we have balance," Moayed said. "You're at the point in the playoffs where most teams can minimize one thing you do. When you have balance it makes things a little tougher. That's what we strive for." The Wildcats' defense was opportunistic against the Titans, halting drives on interceptions by Sam Killpack and Jared Lazor. "Goff is an outstanding quarterback, (Terry) is an outstanding running back," Schram said. "They have a great big offensive line. They're very proficient."

....graft length, depth of planting and what if any influence the former have? A few years ago I had a very brief exchange with Jim Cummings about interstem apples. His strong recommendation was for half the interstem to be below soil level. I have a few this year and will plant them as per Dr Cummings recs, but I would like to understand the reasoning better. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 28, 13 at 9:08
Apparently he wants 111 to eventually take over and make the trees vigorous. Once 111 establishes I don't see how M9 would have any influence but if you dwarf a tree until it begins to fruit often fruiting itself will keep the tree in bounds. In most situations I wouldn't recommend allowing the more vigorous interstem to contact soil and I'm sure that's the mainstream perspective, but I'm not the authority Cummins is. I've heard him speaking at lectures of the dwarfing affect of fruiting itself, so that is something he thinks about for sure. |
harvestman Ithink you have the combination backwards. The M111 is the rootstock, the G11 is the interstem. Rob, I have some combos and also talked to Dr Cummins about it. Seems he believes by planting the interstem by half it increases the influence of the interstem. I have also read that a certain length of interstem needs to be grafted to have influence. Some think the longer the interstem piece the greaater the influence. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 28, 13 at 14:27
My mind really twisted that around, in some part of my brain I'm well aware that the interstem is always the dwarfing rootstock- ah spring. I need some sleep. The longer the dwarf interstem the greater its influence- I've read it so often I assume it's established by research, but I don't know. I cannot understand why you'd want it planted half in soil. It would be a trade off as far as getting the immediate anchoring of 111 as the deeper it is the less it would grow in most situations. From a horticultural standpoint it seems like a bad idea, but I think you should call up Jim. He's usually ready to discuss root stocks. |
My thought is why go to the expense of an interstem and then bury it so the 111 doesn't have as much influence. Why not just plant a tree on G11. But all I really know about interstems is they aren't popular. Almost never used commercially. There has to be a reason for that. |
- Posted by harvestman 6, SE NY (My Page) on Sun, Apr 28, 13 at 16:42
Wait, I think I've solved the mystery. He wants to bury all potential burr knots of the 111 as in the industry there is concern about these somewhat vulnerable areas. I use 111 as my primary rootstock, never bury it and I've never had any problems with my burr knots on literally 1,000's of trees and scores of sites. Maybe I've been lucky. I have heard they are more a liability further south. |
- Posted by windfall_rob vt4 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 28, 13 at 18:55
The following is JIm cummins respnse to my questions a few years ago, "We strongly recommend that trees on G.11/MM.111 interstems be planted Obviously burrknots were one point he was considering. What was unclear to me was how much if at all I was increasing the effect of the g-11 by allowing it to root. Presumably it's rooting would be somewhat dwarfed as well and the M-111's would remain more vigorous. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 28, 13 at 19:55
So, he's also burying 111 to avoid fireblight and crownrot because these are presumably not issues with g11. I'm guessing he doesn't really expect it to affect the dwarfing of the g11 one way or another-the 111 vigor would only be reduced a short while by planting deep and a less vigorous rootstock above would soon be overtaken by roots of the 111. I've never had fire blight affect 111 either and it is resistant to crown rot but maybe not as much as g11. I would probably just ignore his advice unless I saw research that showed it advantageous in the region where I was planting the trees- but than, I'm a contrarian. |
In the south, M111 is not resistant to crown rot. I've lost two trees on M111 to crown rot, so I can understand his logic. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 29, 13 at 16:12
111 is crown rot resistant- no rootstock is crown rot immune. |
Here is a link that might be useful: mm111, crown rot resistance
It is resistant to wooly apple aphid and is quite tolerant to fire blight and crown and root rots. Tolerant is not the same thing as resistant. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 29, 13 at 18:49
Missed that- but for all practical purposes it seems to be a very narrow difference- in fact as narrow as language would allow. Resistant doesn't mean immune either so your experience hadn't proven a lack of resistance but now we have the actual rating. Thank you for the correction- - I read what I wanted to see. |
I never said it was immune, I said it wasn't resistant, and the authority that you quoted, virtually said the same thing. It's tolerant to crown rot, but not resistant to it. You may think that's a narrow interpretation, but I don't. I've had other trees tolerate crown rot and survive, but they |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 30, 13 at 17:10
No, I was just unaware of the terminology rating Cornell uses and when I began my nursery, 111 was as good as any rootstock available for wet conditions. Now Cornell places its own rootstock a notch above this old workhorse and calls it resistant and 111 highly tolerant. I doubt that rating is universal in terms of specific terminology but I really don't know. The important thing is they claim their's is better against crown rot and there's a very good chance this claim is based in research, so I'm grateful you drew me to the distinction. However, in my own climate, in a wide range of soils, 111 is not very prone to crown rot from my own experience. I would not go against sound horticultural practices and follow Jim's advice, but if I had your experience with 111 I would. |
One other reason Dr. Cummins may be suggesting that planting depth is that it also discourages suckering: Apple Rootstocks- Domoto, Iowa State I wanted to get the most dwarfing possible out of mine, so I planted them with the entire interstem and a few inches of the MM111 exposed. Of the 5 G11/MM111 interstems I planted last spring 3 have some suckering this spring. Of the other ~15 in-ground apple trees (on G11/G16/B9/G65/M27), none of the others have any suckering, except for one on G65. But, I don't think that suckering is all that bad a problem- I just quickly pinched them off. I wouldn't have expected it from the literature, but In terms of size, the G11/MM111 interstems have actually lagged behind the G16 and B9 which were planted at the same time (~.2" scion caliper and ~9" in height after the first season of growth). When I looked back at my records, the G11/MM111 were actually a bit smaller when they came from the nursery, so it's quite possible that they are just staying even. I'll keep an eye on it. I also have a B9/B118 interstem, which hasn't suckered and has been more vigorous than the G11/MM111's, similar to the B9 and G16, or maybe a bit bigger. |
I didn't know that Cornell had its own rootstock. What is it called? All of the nurseries that I buy from use M111. It's the standard rootstock that's used in the south, and yes all of my apples sucker, so much so, that's it's hard to keep up with them. I don't know much about interstem planting, mainly because |
The rootstocks developed by Cornell are the Geneva series. The most commonly available are the G11 and G16, which are a bit bigger than B9 and G30, which is supposed to be analogous to M7. The most selection with these rootstocks is from Cummins Nursery, which was actually started by Jim Cummins, the developer of many of the Geneva rootstocks. I've gotten about 2/3 of my apple trees from them, as they carry a lot of selection, both in terms of variety and rootstock. |
Thanks for the info. Looking at the Cummins site, only a few of their apples would do well in the south. |
Very little of their selection is left at this point in the season. They update their list in late summer- maybe mid to late august. |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Thu, May 2, 13 at 5:20
Maybe Cummins should just plant them out with both rootstocks below ground level if that's how Jim feels they function best. I don't find suckering real time consuming to deal with if you have a good loppers and pruning saw, but it's a chore I'd rather do without. Every time I order trees from Cummins many are crooked and all are small. I think they may sell their premium trees retail and sell there smaller stuff at wholesale prices. Not worth it for me, unfortunately. Eventually Adams and others will hopefully have the Cornell root stocks. |

Professor Deptartment of Physics
Phone: 406-994-7838 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Yves U. Idzerda is currently a Professor of Physics at Montana State University. His current research interest is in characterizing and controlling ultra-thin film interface properties using novel characterization techniques that are element resolved and have strong interfacial sensitivity. Previous to this, he was the head of the Artificially Structured Materials and Non-linear Physics Section of the Naval Research Laboratory, where he was a staff member since 1989. He received his Ph.D in physics in 1987 from the University of Maryland with Prof. Ellen Williams. Part of this current research includes studying the behavior of components of solid oxide fuel cell thin films and surfaces/interfaces using in-situ and ex-situ X-ray probes. This portion of his research is performed at the MSU X-ray Nanomaterials Characterization Facility located at beamline U4B of the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) of Brookhaven National Laboratories, where he has been the Spokesperson for this effort since its beginning.
One of the goals of the HiTEC program is to determine the effects of interfacial strain from lattice mismatch at interfaces of technologically relevant SOFC materials. For this work, the interfacial stress is controlled by either depositing SOFC-related films (La0.5Sr0.5CoO3, or LSCO, and La2/3Ca1/3MnO3, or LCMO) grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) or metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MoCVD) on appropriate substrates of known lattice mismatch or by capping thick SOFC-related structures with wedges of overlayers of known lattice mismatch. This latter method allows for the control of the total stress energy with wedge thickness. We have used element- and site-specific X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray scattering to study the electronic, chemical and structural properties of the as grown systems.
By using polarization-dependent X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), we have examined the chemical state of different elements of SOFC-related materials at room temperature as a function of the stress within the films created by the substrate or overlayer lattice mismatch that the film is grown under. We have found that, as the stress is changed from compressive to tensile stress, the chemical state of the transition metal in the interfacial region changes dramatically, although the structure of the film remains essentially unchanged. The compositional gradient region represents a region where not only the transition metal ion valence is changing, but a region where the oxygen vacancy diffusion is far from optimum, and in some extreme cases where the transition metal valance becomes integer valued, the oxygen vacancy diffusion may become negligible.
Through this research, we have identified a novel mechanism that may be a serious bottleneck to SOFC performance, whereby the strain energy at an SOFC interface is accommodated and distributed over a larger volume (thickness) by modifying the chemical construction of the SOFC material to improve the lattice mismatch.

Just how dog fleas lead to dog worms is a study in itself. Infected fleas are the leading cause of worms in dogs and cats. Here's the drill: Flea bites dog, dog bites flea -then swallows it! - and dog gets worms. You see, fleas and lice serve as intermediate hosts once they ingest worm eggs.
This works the same with people. You and I can become infected with worms by accidentally swallowing worm eggs or by simply inhaling a breath of air containing tiny, airborne egg sacks. It's not a pleasant thought, but the odds of you having worms at this moment are, inescapably, pretty good.
The problem for both you and your dog or cat is that the average over-the-counter de-wormer just does not work. Yes, I know the brand may be popular and the claims impressive, but most store-bought cat and dog de-wormers fall short of truly cleaning out the pipes. Meanwhile, these generics and their stronger cousins, the prescription class of cat and dog de-wormers, come laced with commercial pesticides and assorted toxins enough to burden both the animal and its human handler.
What to look for
Of the four most common worms in dogs - tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms or whipworms - the two most easily seen in dog feces with the naked eye are tapeworms and roundworms. Tapeworms live in the dog's small intestine, ranging from under an inch in length to over two feet. Its head attaches to the intestinal wall (gut) while the body consists of segments that contain packets of tapeworm eggs.
Because of the location of the tapeworm head in the dog, the length of the worm's body is invisible to the naked eye. What a person sees in dog feces or fur in the anal area are small segments that have broken off from the tapeworm body inside the gut area. They appear to be small moving segments or dried-up kernels of rice once they die. In reality, the tapeworm is impossible to control unless the flea population is controlled. Once re-infected, fleas will begin the cycle all over again.
Step One - kill fleas naturally
Let's first examine the animal for fleas to determine the extent of the infestation. Begin at the base of the dog's tail and work forward looking for black particles (flea feces) in the hair. A standard flea comb gives excellent results, removing fleas and dead hair at the same time.
By placing the black particles on a damp paper towel, the particles should turn red. This red color is blood residue from flea feces. A flea will gorge on the animal's blood until it almost bursts. This is nourishment for the female, who lays 50-60 eggs a day, up to 600 eggs total! These eggs fall off every time a flea-infested dog or cat lies down, walks or shakes its body - infesting other animals, the environment, and human bystanders.
Here are some of the natural flea control methods that can be used separately or in combination.
Step Two - flush internal parasites with an herbal de-wormer
Now it's time to flush internal parasites from our dog or cat with an herbal de-wormer. Cleansing the bowels often causes diarrhea to occur until toxins are removed from the system. The best herbal de-wormers have been properly formulated, prepared and made available by qualified, natural herbal-animal specialists.
Here are some popular home remedies for dog worms, cat worms and even worms in humans. Please proceed with caution on the first three.

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALSFrom Our Doggedly Loyal Customers:
"I am the kind of person who always speaks up when I think I'm not getting my money's worth for anything. I am also not hesitant to give praise where praise is due.
With that said I bought some of your DentaSure teeth spray for my cat. I received it at the beginning of this week. After 3 DAYS of using this product her teeth have already gone from a scary looking brown and very unhealthy to a light shade of yellow.
I am absolutely blown away by how fast this product has helped her teeth improve and the fact that it's all natural is huge to me (the vet has been pushing me to pay $720 for a cleaning including anesthesia!!).
My only regret is not finding you guys sooner!! Keep up the great work!!!!" ~ Fred Brennan, Waymouth, MA
"We have 3 dogs. One is almost 10, the second is 2 but is fighting Valley Fever right now and the third is 2 also.
We put the VF dog on antibiotics as soon as she began coughing. The old man never really started but I seem to remember he has had Kennel Cough before so he may now have some immunity.
The third dog started to cough on Thursday and by Saturday it was just awful to listen to. She was trying to hack up a lung and leaving foamy puddles of spit ALL OVER our house.
Thank goodness your Primalix KC arrived so fast. It came in the mail on Saturday afternoon. I immediately dosed all 3 dogs.
Overnight the cough was drastically reduced. I am amazed! I am continuing to treat all 3 dogs for another week.
Thanks for an incredible product. Please do not hesitate to use this review on your website." ~ Lyn Chambers, Phoenix, AZ
"Dear TripleSure,
We are pleased with the cedar and peppermint flea spray - it seems to perform as promised & that's a big deal here in Florida which is flea central.
Finally, a practical alternative to the nasty spot style flea pesticides. I will recommend this to my friends who (like us) don't want to use the traditional toxic treatments.
My dog also smells woodsey, a lovely side benefit. We sprayed the house and the combo is working. THANKS!" ~ Michelle G., Ft. Myers, FL

"I have two dogs that have kennel cough. I bought the Primalix combo for the immune system and the kennel cough. The medicine arrived today and for the first time in two years, no coughing!" ~ Kerry Jacques, Temecula, CA
"I just want to thank you for your wonderful products and caring nature.
We made the decision to put Oreo to sleep on Tuesday. She was much worse Tuesday morning and it was time to let go. It was very hard as my husband and I wanted so bad for her to go on her own, but it was the right decision.
I know that your products helped give her a little more quality time with us than she would have had without them. I would also like all pet lovers to know the importance of spaying and neutering as early as possible - preferably before the first heat cycle - to decrease the chance of getting mammary gland cancer. Studies show mammary tumors in cats are 80% likely to be cancerous.
If I would have known about this risk, I would have started Oreo on the Primalix C-Care for cancer as a preventative measure long ago. I am going to continue giving it to my other 2 cats at least once or twice a week to hopefully prevent them from getting cancer.
Again, thank you so much for your kindness and compassion."

"I just received my order of your flea and tick spray. Ok, at first I was skeptical, but now my wife and I are impressed. We see fleas or ticks on our German Shepard "Bumpers" or our Cocker Spaniel "Bella," they get sprayed and – "Voila!" – dead fleas or ticks.
The buy one get one free was a good deal. A little pricey, but if you want the best this does what it claims and is worth the money.
I want to thank you for making a product that actually works. On a scale from 1 to 10, TripleSure gets a 12."
~ George and Brenda Campbell, Defuniak Springs, FL
"The DentaSure from my order of a week ago is already working on my 2 maltese's teeth and they both like it, making the job of cleaning their teeth much easier for me and is much more effective than trying to brush.
Wish I heard about it (on tv) long ago! I plan to encourage my friends with dogs or cats to try it.
Thank you for your immediate response to my inquiry. You are very efficient!
~ Joyce Snelling, Sun Lakes, AZ
"Just wanted to let you know that my 3 year old Pomerian no longer has any dark tear stains after using your Tidy Tears formula. What a relief.
As a retired dog groomer I knew most products were not successful and I wished I had answers for my clients who lived with these tear stains. I did not want my dog to have to live with it also. Tidy Tears has all natural ingredients which I look for for my pets. Nice to have found a product that works after all these years in time for my Pom."
~ Marie Cherry, Altoona, FL
"Your TripleSure product and customer service are first rate. I have been using it on my Wire Haired Pointing Griffon for the past 10 months. Living in Minnesota we are in prime tick country. My dog has been in the thick of them on extended canoe trips, hunting in tall grass and daily trips along the Minnesota river trails.
TripleSure has prevented ticks & fleas. Granted, after water activity, it must be re-applied. However, this is a small price to pay considering not having the questionable chemical cocktail running through her from the standard systemic solutions such as Frontline. I have found that performance is enhanced if I take a minute to work in the spray by hand & finish it off with a light brush. Griffons have a double coat. My guess is that other breeds won't need this."
~ K.C. Carpenter, Minnesota
"Thank you so much for offering these alternative solutions for really dangerous drugs vets give dogs and cats. I will always shop with you, and tell others."
~ Robin Kincaid, Port Orchard, WA
"I am very happy with the way my 9 year old lab has responded to your arthritis remedy. We were considering much more invasive methods, and now I am so happy we found your herbal remedies.
We are all the way from Istanbul, Turkey, and find ways to carry the remedies with us or with people coming from the US to Turkey. I really do think you are doing a great job for dogs and cats. As an animal lover I shall spread the word as much as I can."
~ Can Malta, Istanbul, Turkey
"I wanted everyone to know that this product is amazing for dogs with Cushing's. My dog looked terrible -- pot belly, bones showing, dry coat, back legs with no strength. We have used this for 3 weeks and it has made a tremendous difference... Getting ready to order 3 months supply. Wonderful product."
~ Tammy Perry from Virginia
"About 3 years ago my cat Timmy was diagnosed with diabetes. The vet put him on insulin injections which were a disaster and his health deteriorated greatly and he exuded a horrible odor.
I had my doubts about him being treated as a Type 1 diabetic as in the human population over 90% of people have Type 2, non-insulin dependant, diabetes.
So as my cat Timmy was practically dying in front of me I ordered your Primalix for cat blood sugar control. Within a short time of being on Primalix he recovered and also recovered from his diabetic neuropathy so he was able to jump again.
He has been on Primalix now for almost 3 years and the results have been wonderful. Also our vet is amazed at his progress.
I would, without hesitation, recommend any pet owner whose pet has blood sugar control problems to go onto Primalix----its a life saver!
With great appreciation,
Yours sincerely,"
~ Nigel Hyatt PEng (Ont), CEng, MIChemE (Professional Chemical Engineer) Ontario, Canada
"I bought this product about 5 days ago, It is Amazing! I have both dogs and cats and everything I used was NOT working until Now! I see no fleas and nobody is scratching themselves to death! TripleSure is a Godsend. If you have a problem with fleas do not hesitate to buy this product. I am now a customer for life! Thank you Natural Wonder!"
~ Susan Fussell, Jupiter, FL
"I have been using your TripleSure flea and tick spray and do very much love it. All you stated is TRUE, I can not thank you enough for making my life and my pets life more enjoyable. THANK YOU for what you are doing for animals and the world!!!"
~ Terree W., Atlanta, GA
"Just a note to let you know that Taylor's breast cancer is completely gone. This was on only one bottle of C-Care. She had tumors the size of pecans in both front teats. 4 years ago when she was 9 years old, she had a tumor the size of a Nerf football on her side. The vet said nothing could be done. It took 4 bottles of C-Care, but cancer completely cured. This is such a marvelous product, I tell everyone about it as cancer seems to becoming so common in our doggies.
Thank you so much for your research & efforts to help our precious babies. Seeing Taylor run and play, and play with toys at 13 years, is more than I could have ever hoped for! Please use this note to let others know that this product really really works. Thanks again so very very much!"

Theme #3: Biblical literacy is low and will remain so.
Barna's findings related to Bible knowledge and application indicate that little progress, if any, is being made toward becoming more biblically literate.
Barna notes, "Bible reading has become the religious equivalent of sound-bite journalism. When people read from the Bible they typically open it without much regard for the context, and consider only the primary thought or feeling that the passage provided. If they are comfortable with it, they accept it; otherwise, they deem it interesting but irrelevant to their life, and move on."
Some of the survey-based results that led Barna to his conclusions included:
- Just half of all self-identified Christians firmly believe that the principles the Bible teaches are totally accurate.
- Only 27% of adults are confident that Satan exists.
- Only 4% believe that poverty is an issue that is primarily the responsibility of the Church.
Theme #4: We have little understanding of or interest in spiritual maturity.
Barna concludes, "Our studies this year showed that almost 90% of senior pastors asserted that spiritual immaturity is one of the most serious problems facing the Church. But few pastors have gone so far as to give their congregants a specific written statement of how they define spiritual maturity, how it might be measured, the strategy for facilitating such maturity, or what scriptural passages are most helpful in describing and fostering maturity. Overall, less than 10% of pastors said they were completely satisfied with how they assess the spiritual condition of their congregation.
"Not surprisingly," Barna continued, "our research found that a majority of churchgoing adults are uncertain as to what their church would define as a 'healthy, spiritually mature follower of Christ' and they were no more likely to have personally developed a clear notion of such a life. In other words, as we examine the discipleship landscape, what we see is what we get – and what we will keep getting for some time."

After the phone hacking scandal was exposed in UK recently, the question on every phone user's mind is this: Is my phone being hacked? It has been proven once again that a little negligence on the part of the user can make data vulnerable to attacks. Thus, the security of smartphones and other mobile devices should be a priority of all individual users and enterprises.
This is not the first time that a smartphone or mobile device has been hacked. Stories of smartphone data theft, loss of sensitive social security information or credit card data stored on USB drives have been in the news for some time. There are a host of mobile apps that are available for users to download and install, and some of them can be malicious. Even public Wi-Fi hotspots serve as ideal gateways for malware and cybercriminals. The threats are further multiplied when the smartphone owners use their devices for managing both personal and corporate information. So, what happens if such a mobile device or smartphone falls into the wrong hands? Ouch! It's a situation that any organization hates to be in.
As an IT administrator, how can you ensure that a lost or stolen mobile device that stores critical and confidential corporate information does not cause a dent to the company's reputation? Is there a way you can manage and control devices containing sensitive client and corporate data? Can businesses deploy any security measures to protect their smartphone data?
Yes, you can completely control the situation if you are well prepared and have the device management basics and security practices defined.
- Maintain visibility of assets on campus: First and foremost, as an IT administrator it is very important that you know about all devices, both employee owned and corporate owned, residing in the corporate walls. Since an employee can own more than one device, it is important that you know about them all.
- Define the minimum different mobile security policies for:
- Enforcing complex passwords and changing the default password
- Ensuring encryption of essential and sensitive data
- Enforcing remediation and auto-quarantine actions to prevent unauthorized access
- Identifying jailbroken or rooted devices
- Locking or wiping devices remotely in the event of unauthorized access
- Tracking lost, stolen or damaged devices
- Restricting the use of certain applications
- Monitor the applications used by your employees. Since mobile device data security is no longer restricted to emails, it is important that an IT administrator has visibility into and control over applications used by their employees. If an unwanted risky or malicious application is identified, the IT administrator should blacklist the application to ensure the secured and compliant state of the device.
In today's smartphone era, I believe both enterprises and users share equal responsibilities to keep their devices secured. Some important practices that a smartphone owner can follow are:
- If you are not using your voicemail service, turn it off.
- Change your PIN or password often.
- Avoid using important dates in your life as your PIN, e.g., your birthday or anniversary.
- Don't keep simple passwords like 1234, 6789, 5683 (LOVE), 5555, 1111, 0000, etc.
- Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not using them.
- Install third party applications to encrypt your confidential and sensitive information.
- Don't click on untrusted links in your emails or text messages. They may point to malware or a Trojan.
Are there any other smartphone security concerns that your organization has? Please share with us in the comment section or send us an email.

Pick your features! Print your maps! It really is that easy with WonderMaps! Whether you are teaching history, literature, Bible, science, or art, maps play a big part of understanding the topic at hand. WonderMaps is a customizable collection of over 350 maps. It includes:
- 60+ maps of the world
- 60+ maps of the USA

- The complete map sets from The Mystery of History vols. I–III and All American History vols. I & II
- historical or modern-day maps
- outline, reference, political, or topographical maps

As I mentioned, we are using MOH Vol 1 and WonderMaps has all of the MOH maps and keys included in it's collection which is wonderful! But, I am also using WonderMaps not just to teach the mapping portion, but during my reading of the lessons. We sit down with the laptop and when we are reading about the early Egyptians and upper and lower Egypt, I pull up a map of Egypt and show them exactly where and what we are talking about. In the words of my 9 year old, "Boy, WonderMaps really comes in handy!" Yes it does! I think showing them on a map where we are talking about makes it more concrete in their minds and much easier to understand and remember. WonderMaps has been a wonderful addition to our homeschool! It is one of those things that I didn't really know I needed but now can't imagine doing without!
WonderMaps is a CD version and will run on both a PC and a Mac. You do need an updated version of Adobe Flash Player.
WonderMaps retails for $49.95 but you can purchase it HERE from Timberdoodle for $44.95.

All other websites are working. He accessed this site a few months ago no problem and nothing has changed with my set up. windows 7 IE9 on an HP desktop and Toshiba laptop. My hubby needed to go on the regents prep site tonight and gets the page IE can't display this webpage. HP runs a diagnostic and says something about port 316 and I use the toshiba wireless and it says the remote device won't accept the connection and I tried from my kindle fire and page won't load so I am thinking we have something blocking or they moved the page? I run Norton security on both computers. Turned that off and same thing. I did find another spot online to get what he needed but need to see if I can fix this as he will have to go on this site again. Mary http://www.regentsprep.org/ |

It's Friday! That means so many beautiful things for so many people, but it also means that it's time to take a look back at music history.
Born on this day in 1944 is Kinks singer and songwriter Ray Davies. Davies was born the seventh of eight children in North London, England. His only younger brother, Dave, also joined formed the band with him. The Kinks went on to become one of the most important and influential artists to come out of the British Invasion in the late 1960's. Some of the bands most well known songs include "You Really Got Me," "Sunny Afternoon," "Waterloo Sunset," and "Lola."
This week also marks the recording of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" in 1969. This song introduced the character of Major Tom, who would later reappear in "Ashes to Ashes" and "Hallo Spaceboy." The song was rushed to be finished in time for the 1969 Apollo 11 journey to the moon, and shot to #5 on the UK charts.
Yesterday also marked another important birth in music history. Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys was born on June 20, 1942 in Inglewood, California. Through the band's long history, Wilson has been their leader and head songwriter. The Beach Boys created one of the most beloved and creative albums of all time with Pet Sounds in 1966. Wilson's project The Smile Sessions was also a landmark in his career, when it was finally released in 2011 after being in the works since 1966.

View the multi-media news release
(OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. – JULY 10, 2013) – America's top health care experts are recommending a series of specific strategies to reduce five medical interventions or treatments that are commonly used but not always necessary.
In a paper released today by The Joint Commission and the American Medical Association-Convened Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement® (PCPI®), advisory panel work groups offer approaches to address the overuse of antibiotics for viral upper respiratory infections (URIs), over-transfusion of red blood cells (called appropriate blood management for purposes of the summit), tympanostomy tubes for middle ear effusion of brief duration, early-term non-medically indicated elective delivery, and elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Overuse has been described as the provision of medical interventions or treatments that provide zero or negligible benefit to patients, potentially exposing them to the risk of harm. Sometimes overlooked or neglected as a leading contributor to problems with quality and patient safety, overuse of these medical treatments and interventions affects millions of patients. Overuse also drives up health care costs, with an estimated $1 billion spent annually on unnecessary antibiotics for adults with viral upper respiratory infections alone.
The paper "Proceedings from the National Summit on Overuse," provides detailed recommendations on curbing overuse of the five identified medical interventions or treatments, as well as an overview of the 2012 National Summit on Overuse that brought together representatives from 112 professional organizations and associations. The five advisory panel work groups that tackled the five areas of overuse are suggesting common strategies to inspire physician leadership, support a culture of safety and mindfulness, promote further patient education, remove incentives that encourage overuse, encourage further study and spur other professional organizations to collaboratively address overuse.
The advisory panel work groups are also recommending steps specific to each of the five areas targeted for reduction. Among the recommendations are:
"Overuse is a serious problem that involves many complex decisions between doctors and patients," said Mark R. Chassin, M.D., FACP, M.P.P., M.P.H., president and CEO, The Joint Commission. "The recommendations from the summit will raise awareness that will help both doctors and patients make better decisions going forward, and ultimately improve quality and patient safety."
"The AMA is committed to improving health outcomes; this important work will help health care professionals ensure that the right patient gets the right treatment at the right time," said AMA President Ardis D. Hoven, M.D. "As part of our strategic focus on improving health outcomes, one of our goals is to contribute to the appropriate use of finite health care resources and this will help us achieve that goal."
"Proceedings from the National Summit on Overuse" is available at http://www.jointcommission.org/overuse_summit.

Food and farm economic plan shows progress in Vt.By LISA RATHKE
The Associated Press | October 15,2012SPRINGFIELD More than a year and half after Vermont launched a plan to boost the states food and farm economy, organizers are celebrating its progress.
The achievements include a mobile farmers market that reaches low-income housing sites in northern Vermont and an increase in the number of colleges offering local foods in their dining halls.
Local food is exploding in this state, and its because of consumer demand and consumer interest. Its also really being led by entrepreneurs who see an opportunity and are finding new ways of accessing markets, said Ellen Kehler, executive director of the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund, which developed the Farm to Plate report released in January 2011.
More than 180 food-system leaders from around Vermont met in Fairlee for a two-day conference last week to discuss progress since a Farm to Plate network of organizations and working groups was formed a year ago.
Its estimated that Vermonters consume about 5 percent local food on average. The groups goal is to boost that to 10 percent by 2021.
This spring, Black River Produce, a Springfield company that sells produce, seafood, artisan cheese, meats and dairy to restaurants, institutions and retail stores in northern New England, bought a vacant factory to expand its meat processing. The expansion is expected to make more locally raised meat available, such as ground meats and sausages, and create six jobs soon and 20 by the end of the year.
To get fresh local foods to rural areas that dont have ready access to them, the Green Mountain Farm-to-School Program started a mobile farmers market a van with refrigeration and a commercial kitchen that delivers food from more than a dozen local farms weekly to low-income housing sites and community centers in four so-called food deserts in rural northern Vermont.
The food service company Sodexo, which operates the University of Vermont dining halls and other college cafeterias in Vermont, is working with farmers to get more local products into its dining halls. The company signed contracts with Vermont State Colleges this year.
To promote tourism that focuses on experiencing culture through food, the state came out with a new interactive website. DigInVT.com helps link tourists and foodies to nearly 400 food experiences around the state and provides information about the farmers, producers and chefs who make them.
About 1,500 jobs would be created over the next decade if residents double their consumption of locally produced food, the report estimated. Between 2010 and 2011, about 497 jobs were added, said the group, which is expected to release new figures in January.MORE IN This Just InMan faces fourth Full Story -
