Dell Streak Pro Tablet Coming in June: Reports
Dell Streak Pro Tablet Coming in June: Reports
Jeffrey Burt
Posted 2011-05-20
Dell's business-focused Streak Pro, which will offer a 10.1-inch screen and Android "Honeycomb" OS, will hit the shelves in June, according to several reports.
Dell is set to roll out its newest tablet, the business-focused 10.1-inch Streak Pro, in June, according to reports. Dell's tablet, which will run Google's Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" operating system, will join a long list of media tablets set to roll out during the summer as a growing number of vendors look to gain traction in the rapidly growing tablet space currently dominated by Apple's iPad.
The new device will be Dell's third tablet, joining the Streak-which offers a 5-inch screen-and the 7-inch Streak 7. Earlier reports had Dell's Streak Pro being powered by Nvidia's Tegra 2 T2 5 SoC (system on a chip), which among other things is 3D-capable. However, according to a May 19
report in SlashGear
, the device will be powered by a slower Nvidia chip, the 1.0GHz Tegra 2 T20, which does not have the 3D capabilities.
The Streak Pro will offer a 1280 x 800 touch screen and weigh 1.59 pounds, according to reports. It will offer models with 16GB, 32GB and 64GB flash memory, a 5-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel camera on the front, will include Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities, and will come in a number of colors, including black, blue, red and pink. Included accessories include an in-car changer, a "productivity dock" and a folding cover with an integrated keyboard. Dell is one of several vendors that wants in on a tablet space that market research firm Gartner has said will grow from almost 70 million in sales this year to 294 million in 2015. The challengers to Apple are coming from both the PC world-Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Acer, for example-and the smartphone space, including BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion, Motorola and Samsung.
For Dell and HP, tablets are a way of expanding their reach in the industry beyond the PC. On May 17, executives with both companies, while announcing quarterly earnings, said they saw revenue
drops in their consumer PC businesses
, though sales of their commercial PC units were healthy. Analysts have debated the impact of tablets on sales of traditional laptops. Forrester Research analyst Sarah Rotman Epps, in a
May 17 blog post
, said tablets were part of the problem facing Dell, HP and Acer, but not the biggest. "Tablet cannibalization is only a minor contributor to soft PC sales," Epps wrote.
The bigger factor is the Windows release cycle-so many consumers bought new PCs when Windows 7 came out, and without a new version of Windows this year, there isn't the same catalyst to buy." During a May 17 conference call with analysts and journalist to announce his company's earnings,
Dell CEO Michael Dell
questioned whether tablets would see high adoptions rates in businesses. Dell said that tablets are the third device choice-after smartphones and PCs-"and you can't find a lot of companies that are going to have three devices for all of their users. ... We're not seeing tablets replacing the smartphone or the PC in large numbers in organizations." HP CEO Leo Apotheker, in his earnings conference call, said his company has felt the impact of smartphone and tablet sales on the consumer PC business, and reiterated the company's intent to roll out its webOS-based TouchPad this summer.

Ratings & Reviews
Rico was an excellent agent. I highly recommend Rico if you are looking for a honest, knowledgeable agent. He was reliable and VERY patient thru our purchase of our first home that was also a short sale. Rico responded quickly to all our inquiry's and was familiar with com-parable's in the areas that we were looking at. He went out of his way to make sure we understood the short sale process and supported our decisions when it came to negotiating the final cost with the financial institution.
Rico took a stressful process and made it trouble free.
Rico was amazing to work with! He was patient during the long process of looking at different condos in a variety of areas. When I finally selected one, he made a very difficult process as easy as possible. His follow up with the other agent was nothing short of miraculous. I am finally a homeowner, thanks to Rico!
I would recommend Rico to all of my friends and family. We met Rico through a referral from a close friend and he lived up to his reputation. The house buying process is difficult to say the least and Rico is there every step of the way to answer any questions about the buying and lending process.
Rico will work hard for you and come up with solutions to get you the house of your dreams!
Thank you Rico!
-Wade & Kristi
I did a Short Sale on my East San Diego home in 2010.
What normally would have been a devastating and stressful situation actually went quite smoothly and I attribute all of that to the expertise and compassion of this realtor.
Rico is exactly that type of person you want to work with. I found him to be responsible, discrete, knowledgeable, integriful, conscientious, cooperative, flexible, considerate. I could go on. Bottom line, he's a professional gem and if you ever have an opportunity to work with him, do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed. He knows his stuff and he genuinely cares about his clients.
Rico was very helpful in guiding my wife and I through the short sale process. He walked us through step by step with this process, which was very reassuring to us. Without his expertise, we might not have been able to get through this sometimes tedious ordeal. Rico was also very instrumental in my wife and I purchasing our first home. Prior to that, he was also our property manager. I would recommend Rico to anyone with full confidence.
I was really lucky to have Rico help me to buy first house in Encinitas. He always make sure I'm in right track and take a time for me to understand these complicated house contracts. Because I'm from foreign country, it was very important for me to have a broker who I can truly trust. Once I made a big decision to buy a house, it went very smooth! I definitely recommend Rico to everyone who look for house!
Rico Alexander helped my wife and I sell our home in Chula Vista in 2009. He sold it faster than he said he would. He negotiated the short sale and dealt with both lenders to make sure we would be legally protected. We have reviewed Rico to friends and family and will continue to do so. Great guy and has great follow up and is very professional.
As we all know, buying a home is very stressful, especially in this market! My future wife and I were brand new to SoCal when we first met Rico. He helped us find our dream home in dreamy San Diego county. Not only do help us find it, but he actually negotiated our house down over $15,000!!! At that time, unheard of in the overbid market. Working with Rico was way more than a professional experience...in the end it became more like a best-friend/uncle/brother you love and trust helping you every step of the way. He explained everything that was going to happen step by step before it happened! It completely kept our stress levels down the whole process... There is no doubt, if we ever move again, tracking down Rico will be our first and last option! Thank You Rico for making our transition so easy to SoCal!!!!
We were so lucky to find Rico to help us navigate this tough real estate market. We were in a true time crunch. Because of his expertise, professional savvy, practical thinking, and broad business associations, Rico accomplished in four weeks what other R.E. professionals literally failed to accomplish in the previous 4 months. He intelligently and creatively adapted to these tough times and got the job done for us. I know we will have to move again in the next few years and I already know who our agent will be. That is peace of mind.

In this thought-provoking new book, the Dalai Lama argues that religion is not a necessity for pursuing a spiritual life. Rather, focusing on tolerance and understanding between religions, as well as tolerance and understanding between believers (of any faith) and non-believers is the way forward. The way to achieve such an approach, he proposes, is through a system of secular ethics grounded in a deep appreciation of our common humanity.

This excellent series on conforming to the mind of Christ continues even deeper. Remember, this didn't just happen overnight; even Bishop Gregory Leachman's worldly battles helped make this possible.

As JB Stoney explores the experiences of Jonah and others in Out of Death into Life, he shows us that "WILL is the real cause of the restlessness, and of the absence of full joy in souls. ...the only true place of happiness for a believer is to be without a will of his own..." and how the enjoyment of our salvation depends on us appropriating the death of Christ.

"Man Fallen and The Seed of the Woman, Genesis Chapter 3": "Satan is active, and his power consists in producing distrust, and this where there is happiness and intimate relation with God - to darken, and, if possible, destroy all in the heart. Eve listened to and believed Satan, in place of listening to God and believing Him.
In A Night in the Sea (which is part of his excellent book Night Scenes of Scripture) , beginning with the night-time crossing of the Red Sea in Exodus 14, WTP Wolston discusses "The Salvation of the Lord".

It comprehends forgiveness, and deliverance, and peace, and the knowledge that I am justified...

In Elijah, Hamilton Smith traces the major events of the life of Elijah, the Prophet of God, with all the highs and lows in his work as a prophet.

But Elijah knew the living God, was conscious of His presence, and was aware that prayer brought him into contact with the greatest power in the universe.
Christ as seen in the Offerings is a classic work by RF Kingcote which takes up in a simple way some of the offerings mentioned in Leviticus - a book which is commonly passed over as if it were not relevant to us today, but which is full of rich typical teaching.
From the Preface: "The purpose of this little book is to show that the dedication demonstrated by the early disciples, is without exception, enforced by the commands of our Saviour. And not only that, but it is illustrated by the conduct of the apostles and early Christians. The author therefore asks that all sincere disciples of Christ carefully weigh what is written here in the balance of the Sanctuary, not the balance of the world."

God Is Disappointed in You is for people who would like to read the Bible...if it would just cut to the chase. Stripped of its arcane language and interminable passages, every book of the Bible is condensed down to its core message, in no more than a few pages each. Written by Mark Russell with cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler, God Is Disappointed in You is a frequently hilarious, often shocking, but always accurate retelling of the Bible, including the parts selectively left out by Sunday School teachers.
If you want to find inner peace and wisdom, you don't need to move to an ashram or monastery. Your life, just as it is, is the perfect place to be. Jack Kornfield, one of America's most respected Buddhist teachers, shares this and other key lessons gleaned from more than 40 years of committed study and practice.
The 59 provocative slogans presented here - each with a commentary by the Tibetan meditation master Chgyam Trungpa - have been used by Tibetan Buddhists for eight centuries to help meditation students remember and focus on important principles and practices of mind training. They emphasize meeting the ordinary situations of life with intelligence and compassion under all circumstances. Slogans include, "Don't be swayed by external circumstances," "Be grateful to everyone," and "Always maintain only a joyful mind."
When the Buddha set in motion the wheel of Dharma, he knew that the teaching he gave was inexhaustible - that every future generation would find its own skillful ways to convey it to the hearts and minds of those ready to hear. The Buddha Is Still Teaching is testimony to the fulfillment of that promise today. The selections it contains, from today's most highly regarded contemporary Buddhist teachers, bring the Dharma eloquently to life for us in our own time, place, and culture.
Tibetan Buddhist master Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, one of the most creative and innovative lamas teaching today, throws down the gauntlet to the Buddhist world, challenging common misconceptions, stereotypes, and fantasies. With wit and irony, Khysentse urges readers to move beyond the superficial trappings of Buddhism - beyond the romance with beads, incense, or exotic robes - straight to the heart of what the Buddha taught.
This treasury of essential Buddhist writings draws from the most popular Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese sources. Among the selections are some of the earliest recorded sayings of the Buddha on the practice of freedom, passages from later Indian scriptures on the perfection of wisdom, verses from Tibetan masters on the enlightened mind, and songs in praise of meditation by Zen teachers.
ChgyamTrungpa's unique ability to express the essence of Buddhist teachings in the language and imagery of modern American culture makes his books among the most accessible works of Buddhist philosophy. Here Trungpa explores the true meaning of freedom, showing us how our preconceptions, attitudes, and even our spiritual practices can become chains that bind us to repetitive patterns of frustration and despair.
According to the Buddha, no one can attain basic sanity or enlightenment without practicing meditation. The teachings given here on the outlook and technique of meditation provide the foundation that every practitioner needs to awaken as the Buddha did. Trungpa teaches us to let go of the urge to make meditation serve our ambition; thus we can relax into openness.
Demystifing the tenets of Buddhism, this introduction to the Buddhist religion explains, without jargon or obscure terminology, the essential elements of its teachings, presents ways to work toward awakening, and examines Buddhism's relevance in Western culture.
The paradox of awareness is very profound and yet very simple. It can't be described because it has no objective qualities and no limitation. Sometimes it comes naturally to the surface when we are fully in the present moment and no longer lost in thought or mental projections. Pure consciousness is neither high nor low, neither pleasant nor unpleasant, neither good nor bad. No matter where we are, no matter what we are doing, we always have an immediate access to that inner stillness.
Why are atheists angry? Is it because they're selfish, joyless, lacking in meaning, and alienated from God? Or is it because they have legitimate reasons to be angry - and are ready to do something about it? Armed with passionate outrage, absurdist humor, and calm intelligence, popular blogger Greta Christina makes a powerful case for outspoken atheist activism, and explains the empathy and justice that drive it. This accessible, personal, down-to-earth book speaks not only to atheists, but also to believers who want to understand the so-called new atheism.
If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus and approach the Gospels as though for the first time, something remarkable happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of the transformation of consciousness. Cynthia Bourgeault is a masterful guide to Jesus' vision and to the traditional contemplative practices you can use to experience the heart of his teachings for yourself.
This is the first book to offer the great master's incisive wisdom in short selections taken from the whole range of his voluminous works. The pithy and powerful readings, arranged according to theme, provide a perfect introduction to Dogen - and inspire spiritual practice in people of all traditions.
These hilarious essays on life inside and outside a Zen monastery make up the spiritual memoir of Shozan Jack Haubner, a Zen monk who didn't really start out to be one. Raised in a conservative Catholic family, Shozan went on to study philosophy (becoming de-Catholicized in the process) and to pursue a career as a screenwriter and stand-up comic in the clubs of L.A. How he went from life in the fast lane to life on the stationary meditation cushion is the subject of this laugh-out-loud funny account of his experiences.
This anonymous fourteenth-century text is the glory of English mysticism, and one of the most practical and useful guides to finding union with God ever written. Carmen Acevedo Butcher's new translation is the first to bring the text into a modern English idiom - while remaining strictly faithful to the meaning of the original Middle English. The Cloud of Unknowingconsists of a series of letters written by a monk to his student or disciple, instructing him (or her) in the way of Divine union.
A practical approach to creating wealth-based on the established principles of ancient Jewish wisdom-made accessible to people of all backgrounds. The ups and downs of the economy prove Rabbi Daniel Lapin's famous principle that the more things change, the more we need to depend upon the things that never change. There's no better source for both practical and spiritual financial wisdom than the time-tested knowledge found in the ancient Jewish faith and its culture.
Living and dying with bravery and honor is at the heart of Hagakure, a series of texts written by an 18th-century samurai, Yamamoto Tsunetomo. It is a window into the samurai mind, illuminating the concept of bushido (the Way of the Warrior), which dictated how samurai were expected to behave, conduct themselves, live, and die.
In his best-selling book Falling Upward, Richard Rohr talked about ego (or the False Self) and how it gets in the way of spiritual maturity. But if there's a False Self, is there also a True Self? What is it? How is it found? Why does it matter? And what does it have to do with the spiritual journey? This book likens True Self to a diamond, buried deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives, that must be searched for, uncovered, separated from all the debris of ego that surrounds it.
In these chapters, the Karmapa shares his vision for bringing social action into daily life, on a scale we can realistically manage through the choices we make every day - what to buy, what to eat, and how to relate honestly and bravely with our friends and family and coworkers. His fresh and encouraging perspective shows us that we have the strength to live with kindness in the midst of the many challenges we face as socially and environmentally conscious beings.

If you like sushi, this is a great choice. They serve half price sushi at the bar all night. Drinks are regular priced.. Armosphere is cozy with roaring fireplace and interesting veggie paintings on the walls. In winter, they seem to get an early crowd, so after 7 pm, there is plenty of seating.

There is plenty of parking in this strip mall restaurant.

Great recipe. I subbed beef broth for the chicken due to necessity and it turned out fantastic.
I actually used red potatoes because that is what I have at home. I sliced them thinner, layered with all including onions and some crushed red pepper. Covered and baked for 40 mins and then uncovered for another 15 they were great. I did double the recipe though.
These are fantastic! Quick too.
These potatoes were very tasty although I'm not a big fan of rosemary. Will try recipe again using various seasonings.

Bed Bath & Beyond Buys Into Epic Cost Plus Turnaround
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY - Get Report) is buying home furnishing and entertainment retailer Cost Plus (CPWM) for $22 a share in cash or nearly $500 million, a 22% premium to the company's Tuesday close.
The deal will give Bed Bath & Beyond the private label home furnishing brands and designs sold by Cost Plus. It will also give Bed Bath & Beyond ownership of a business it has partnered with and that has returned to profitability after successive loss-making years during the recession pushed shares below $1.
For Cost Plus, the sale highlights an epic recovery. The Oakland, Calif-based company, which had faltered even before the onset of the financial crisis and the Great Recession, saw its shares plunge below a dollar in 2009 amid $100 million-plus losses and high debt levels. However, as the company pared its debt in recent years and returned to profitability, shares have surged.
In 2011, Cost Plus recorded revenue of $963 million, a post-crisis high that helped to drive a $16.5 million annual profit. Meanwhile, the company's cut its total debt from nearly $200 million to $116 million as of the first quarter, which Bed Bath & Beyond will take on as a result of the deal.
"We are thrilled about the prospects of welcoming the Cost Plus team and their customers and vendors to the Bed Bath & Beyond family," said Bed Bath & Beyond chief executive Steven H. Temares in a statement. "Through the combination of the highly talented Cost Plus organization with our own dedicated associates, we expect to be able to do even more for, and with, our collective customers." Cost Plus World Market, which was launched in San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, has 259 retail outlets in the U.S. and has partnered with Bed Bath & Beyond on previous store-within-a-store concepts. The deal, which is expected to close in Bed Bath & Beyond's fiscal second quarter has been approved by both company's boards, in addition to Red Mountain Capital Partners and Stephens Investment Holdings, Cost Plus's two largest shareholders with a combined stake of roughly 26% of the company's shares. On news of the deal, Cost Plus shares rallied nearly 22% to $21.89, just below Bed Bath & Beyond's offer price. That Wednesday stock surge put Cost Plus shares up nearly 125 % in the last 12 months. Bed Bath & Beyond shares were little changed at $68.34 in early trading after the deal announcement, recovering from a share slump at the market open.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

We would like to expose a little different point of view and another information for thinking about.
May be our presentation will be nonconformist, but we think is necessary to speak about some modern tendences in science and in carabidology in particular. Part of them is positive but unfortunatedly not all.
The main idea was to look development of taxonomy as a science in a gradient of -holders of knowledge (taxonomists) on a time piece from beginnings of 20 century till present time.
Normally at the base of any biological investigation, from revision to faunistic or ecological studies, the principal unit for manipulate or process data is a species. Wrongly determinated material leads to wrong result.
Whether there is a future of taxonomist?
Taxonomy is for beetles lovers or for "professionals"?
Whether commercialization of science will result to deadlock of taxonomy?
The questions partly philosophical and senseless, also doesn't find the concrete answers.
In present study we are made analysis of the number of taxonomic publications and new described taxa on examples of two large families of the beetles (Carabidae and Staphylinidae) for the period from 1900 to 2008, besides that we are registered all authors on the countries, years and their fruitfulness. The quality of papers was considered and whether is the author the professional (i.e. work as the museum employer or the research assistant in the scientific organization, institute, etc.), or he is engaged in taxonomy at amateur level (hobby), the number of coauthors was considered also.
Cooperation in preparation for publication of taxonomic paper - it is not bad. But whether always authorship mean inquisitive interest to studied object. Is are not ambitions? Practical benefit? Desire to receive new grant at any cost?
Activity of actual Carabidae specialists by countries:
Italy is on the first place. Number of taxonomists from USA, Germany and Japan is traditionally high. It is necessary to note, that the number of hobbists in Germany and Japan is high too. There are no hobbists in China. Also it is necessary not forget that the beetles fans are not bad, frequently they are very high quality experts in taxonomy.
If one hundred years ago or less, the entomology was in the hands of enthusiasts exclusively. Now the balance of people involved in entomology is move to busyness. The great part of so called specialist prefers follow any modern tendency (from ecology to scientology) if only receive money.
Writing of paper for the report to justify financing, and to receive new,
IT leads to occurrence of superficial, poor-quality publications, as a rule with several coauthors. For the sake of quantity it is endowed by quality of works
Occurrence of concept "Impaсt factor" and "Citation index" as deification of commercialization of a science.
IMPACT FACTOR – I can give good idea to increase citation factor, the perfect way is to publish absolutely absurdic article because everybody will citate it as stupidity, but the goal will be achieved – high citation and more money.
The most obvious shortcomings (defects) of impact factor as follows:
- number of citations, in fact, does not reflect the quality of research, however, as the number of publications;
- period of time are taken into account citation is too short, only two years (the classic articles are cited frequently even several decades after publication);
- Different results in various fields of science leads to a different frequency of publication, which influence on the impact factor. For example, medical journals often have largest impact factors than mathematical.
Using English as the universal in the writing of scientific papers
It is much easier to prepare a quality manuscript in native language, without the time and cost of translation work. The lack of knowledge of English leads to a simplification of the text.
The presence of literature on the native language promotes the emergence of young lovers of nature to scientific studies. For example see huge entomological literature of Germany, France, Italy and as result – many specialists. These traditions are continues today in some countries, that can only be welcomed. Moreover, nowadays any publication if you want you can translate from any language with the help of automatic translators.
"Principal aim of this publication VS "Principal aim is publication"
The accumulation of individual results, but not understanding and not generalization of them. The work is from the "Method" by Francis Bacon (father of empiricism), the main task of science is getting more and more empirical facts, the need for verification and interpretation of results, which nowadays is often not done.
As an example : the great part of last ten years publications about taxonomy of the genus Carabus.
It was noted that the "union" of carabidologists is more fragmented if compared with staphylinidologists. As an example, a presence of annual meeting of staphylinidologists in Europe (each year more and more participants from around the world) as well as existance of specialized mailing "staphlist". From other hand, meetings of carabidologists are organize one time for three years.
The appearance of «Carabidae of the World» project (free online data base) showed reluctance of taxonomists to collaborate, despite the large number of visitors per day.
Only 2-3 enthusiast (from 300 registered and 100 included in list of Authors/Participants) are actively take part in the project.
A significant number of professionals simply refused to take part in the project, I suppose, not because of lack of time. Who wish to see a list of them?
The "aging-and-extinction" of taxonomists.
Becoming of expert-taxonomist is a long process, as well as ripening of a good taxonomic publication. The youth are moves with market condition, and old men try to be arranged with them. As we can see, the majority of taxonomists is around 50-60 years, and yuong people not arrive.
Another relatively recent problem is so-called «Vandalism in taxonomy» (see Jach, 2006) which essence consists that nonprofessional fans of insects, without having necessary preparation and qualification, can publish descriptions of new taxa, ignoring rules of International Code of the Zoological Nomenclature.
1. Type material deposited in private collections
2. Incorrect not reviewed papers
3. Self-published works (print copies)
4. The description of new inadequate taxa within commercial groups for the purpose of sale (for example: Carabus) to collectors
Occurrence of a considerable quantity of not reviewed and badly reviewed scientific magazines, and as result increase in number of poor-quality and erroneous publications.
Summarizing the aforesaid, it would be desirable to pay attention to a question of SOUL. The subject needs to be loved, in our case – beetles. To make business (money) on a subject it is possible, but it contradicts the primary goals of fundamental science, process of knowledge for the sake of knowledge.
We are try to develop the elementary units, "figures" in the living world which can be put or developed further in "higher mathematics" of the Animal Kingdom, and not contaminate science with absurd data and publications.
Now we are also notice that last of Mohicans, professional taxonomists, publish their remarkable works in which long-term experience, and also love to the object, not spoiled by momentary profit sees in respectable age.
We are wish them strong health and longevity!
The taxon was described as a form of the Carabus (Morphocarabus) scheidleri excellens var. frivaldskyi (with 4 primary intervals) from Galicia (NW Podolia), = W Ukraine. At present this taxon is rightly considered a synonym of exellens (Brezina B., 2008. Carabus checklist).
The form I found in nominative population of the species near Zolocziv at 2008 (W Ukraine) and in SE Ukraine: Andreevka, Dnipropetrovsk region. There are founds in next regional populations probable, including Moldova.
Personal comments of Ruslan Panin
Jiri Niedl (1956) in his famous work "Monografie ceskoslovenskych druhu tribu Carabini. Cast. I." doubts about validity of subspecies status zawadzkii dissimilis, and cited C. scheidleri pseudopreyssleri from the locality where I collected С.zawadzkii dissimilis.
The taxon dissimilis is a low-mountain, western population of C. (Morphocarabus) zawadzkii. It is really hardly differs exteriorly from C. (Morphocarabus) scheidleri pseudopreyssleri because of the presence of four primary intervals of elytra, the main external differential character of C. (Morphocarabus) zawadzkii , are almos absent here. This character have only a few very large females. All intervals of elytra of dissimilis are uniform and well defined, the dots here relatively large and deep. Pronotum is more narrow than in nominative subspecies. The body color is diverse.
It should be noted that not all specimens of C. zawadzkii s.str. have four primary intervals (on 20-30% specimens of population this character are missing). The further we go from the type locality of dissimilis (Uzhgorod), and as the rise in the mountains, the more transition features to nominative form we find. But at altitudes 200-300 m where I collected beetles in this season, there were no one sample (from near 40) similar to nominative subspecies. Other population of C. zawadzkii dissimilis was found by me in the similar habitat on the north side of Carpathians Mountains (Dobromyl district, 2006). However, it is less definite externally – only the marginal forms are differ conspicuously.

Two new species of Pterostichus Bonelli subgenus Pseudoferonina Ball, are described from the mountains
of central Idaho: Pterostichus bousqueti Bergdahl [type locality = small tributaries of South Fork of Payette
River watershed, ca. 1170 m (3840 ft), 44.0675°/-115.6822°, near Lowman, Salmon River Mountains,
Boise County, Idaho, U.S.A.] and Pterostichus lolo Bergdahl [type locality = Cottonwood/Orogrande
Creek, ca. 870 m (2850 ft), 46.5528°/-115.5522°, North Fork of Clearwater River watershed, Clearwater
Mountains, near Bungalow, Clearwater County, Idaho, U.S.A.]. Males of P. bousqueti and P. lolo are easily
distinguished from each other and the seven previously described Pseudoferonina species by the form of the
median lobe of the aedeagus, and from most individuals of the other species of Pseudoferonina in Idaho by
features of pronotal shape and macrosculpture. Both species appear to be obligate ripicolous hygrophiles,
restricted in distribution primarily to the margins of small montane streams in forested areas. Widespread
intensive stream surveys for Pseudoferonina over many years indicate the geographic ranges of both species
are highly localized, and additional undescribed species may occur in Idaho.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Americans for Safe Access has expanded the Nevada County chapter of the national organization into the Truckee area. The first meeting is scheduled for noon March 9 and will continue to take place the second Saturday of the month in the Truckee-Donner Community Recreation Center Conference Room.ASA is the largest national member-based organization of patients, medical professionals, scientists and concerned citizens who support cannabis for therapeutic use and scientific research. The organization works on the local, state and federal levels to promote laws that protect patients' rights.ASA membership provides access to resources designed for budding activists, including the Training Center, Think Tank & Policy Shop, Federal Advocacy Project and the Patients' Right Project. ASA-NC hosts numerous educational events, including recent medical discoveries, legal rights seminars, responsible growing techniques and Good Neighbor policies. The group occasionally hosts fun events like movies, music festivals and community barbecues.Founded in 2002 by Steph Sherer, Americans for Safe Access strives to overcome political and legal barriers to medical cannabis by using a multifaceted approach that incorporates public education, grassroots activism and media campaigns. ASA has worked with local governments to draft sensible regulations that work to benefit the community. When negotiations fail, ASA's legal team will institute proceedings against any policy that infringes on patients' civil liberties or any attempt to restrict safe access to medicinal cannabis.Americans for Safe Access recently hosted a National Unity Conference in Washington, D.C. In an effort that might qualify for the Guinness Book of World Records, hundreds of activists from across the country met to lobby with every senator and representative in a single day. The group hopes to raise support for pending legislation that would recognize states' rights to chart their own course on medical marijuana without interference from the federal government.For information, visit www.asa-nc.com.- Look for more to this story later in the week at www.sierrasun.com.
