Goodlatte Subcommittee Inventories Threat of Invasive Species
Goodlatte Subcommittee Inventories Threat of Invasive Species
Scientific, governmental organizations report on prevention and control
October 2, 2002 -- House Agriculture Subcommittee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) convened a hearing with scientists and representatives from federal and state agencies to discuss the issues concerning species that are invasive, harmful and alien to the United States.
"It is my hope that today's hearing will lead to a renewed and forthright commitment in determining how to combat this growing problem in an era of increased and expanded trade between the United States and other countries," said Subcommittee Chairman Goodlatte. "Invasive species are dealt with under a patchwork of federal and state laws and regulations administered by a wide variety of federal agencies, most importantly the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. To date, effective action has been hampered by inadequate funding at all levels of government and by inadequate coordination. Successfully combating this problem will require coordinated action by all affected stakeholders, which may include Federal, State, and local governments, private landowners, and nongovernmental organizations. Research into efficient, effective inspection, exclusion, and eradication strategies is vital as well."
Invasive species represent a serious threat to the viability of American agriculture, forestry, and ecosystems. Not only can these harmful organisms cripple production agriculture, but society pays a great price for these harmful species including unemployment, damaged goods and equipment, power failures, food and water shortages, environmental degradation, increased rates and severity of natural disasters, and disease epidemics. The most obvious harm is found in agriculture. Farmers and ranchers are constantly battling alien pests, weeds, and diseases. Decreases in yield and quality of crops and livestock are easily attributed to invasive species. Producers fight stubborn weeds and pests year round – whether preparing for the planting season, during the growing season or harvest.
To add to the scientific presentation, Subcommittee Chairman Goodlatte assembled a display of invasive species provided by The Smithsonian, U.S. Geologic Survey, USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, among others. Invasive species are non-native species of plants, animals, and pests that cause harm to human health, the environment or the economy.
A few examples of invasive species:
West Nile virus now threatens people and animals in 42 states and the District of Columbia, transmitted by an aggressive and adaptable mosquito species that arrived inside rubber tires imported from Asia. The number of deaths in the United States this year has risen to 94.
The Asian longhorned beetle, which probably arrived in solid wood pallets from China, causes destruction of valuable trees in urban areas and threatens millions of acres of treasured hardwoods in national forests.
Citrus canker disease has destroyed valuable citrus groves in Florida.
Heartwater is an infectious, but not contagious, tick-borne disease of domestic and wild animals including cattle, sheep, goats, antelope and buffalo migrating from Africa to the nearby Caribbean.
The glassy-winged sharpshooter, an invasive insect carries with it a plant bacterium that has caused nearly $40 million in losses of California grapes, plus nearly $35 billion yearly costs to grape, raisin, and wine industries, and the tourism associated with them.
Foot and Mouth Disease, a highly contagious animal disease, has caused the United States to ban meat imports. The epidemic has already cost British companies $30 billion dollars. Small businesses have lost on average $75,000 and larger ones have lost approximately $300,000.

By John Nadel, AP Sports Writer
ANAHEIM, Calif. Ottawa forward Antoine Vermette is a believer - he's certain the Senators can come back from a 3-1 deficit to Anaheim and win the Stanley Cup.
One reason Vermette is convinced is because he's been there before.
"My first year in juniors, we were in the same situation, and we won," Vermette said after practice Tuesday at the Honda Center, where the Ducks will attempt to win their first Cup on Wednesday night in Game 5 of the finals.
Vermette was 16 and playing for the Quebec Ramparts in 1999 when they beat Rimouski in the playoffs by coming back from a 3-1 deficit to win that best-of-seven series.
"The first thing is you've got to believe," Vermette said. "If you don't, there's no point in showing up. It's a great chance we have here - we're still alive. A lot of players don't ever get this far.
"I know it's said a lot of times in the hockey world - you want to give yourself a chance to go home."
The Senators, playing in the postseason for the 10th straight year - the longest current streak by a team from Canada - beat each of their three Eastern Conference opponents in five games. It's been a different story against the Ducks, who won Games 1, 2 and 4 with a third-period goal.
Each of the Senators' six postseason losses have been by one goal including Monday night's 3-2 loss in Ottawa in Game 4.
"We're trying to score goals when we should just be playing," Senators coach Bryan Murray said. "We're taking all kinds of chances. They're creating all their offense off our mistakes because we're gambling just to keep the puck in play where a third man is jumping in.
"As I told them, it's just not the way we played in the first three rounds. We didn't take many chances. We played not conservative. ... We had our defense positioned positively."
Murray said it was just the opposite for Anaheim.
"(The Ducks) are very, very patient when they don't have the puck," the coach said. "Hopefully we will play the way we are supposed to and have been playing up until we started here."
Vermette agreed, saying: "They're a very patient team - a very defense-minded-first team. We don't get as many chances as we did in the first three series. You've got to create your chances differently, go into the lower part of the zone, winning some battles in deep."
Murray said he doesn't believe the pressure of playing in the finals has been a problem.
"Maybe a little anxious," he said of his team. "But I don't think it's anything more than they've gone through the pressure part. They've handled that. I think beating out the teams on the East, when you had to play well to kind of get a reputation, I think we've done that fine.
"It's just not handling this as well as we want to. We'll see if we can handle the pressure of being on the edge."
Senators center Dean McAmmond, who didn't play in Game 4 because of what team officials labeled a concussion resulting from an elbow by Ducks defenseman Chris Pronger in the third game, skated Tuesday and might go in Game 5.
Pronger was suspended for Game 4 by the NHL, but will return to action Wednesday night. The Ducks are 2-0 in games following Pronger's playoff suspensions.
"Dean McAmmond said his hands aren't as good as they used to be, but other than that, he's fine," Murray said. "We'll see tomorrow if he can play. He's still a game-time decision."
Anaheim's Shawn Thornton said he hopes McAmmond is healthy.
"As far as whether he plays or not, I don't think it makes a difference as far as our preparations are concerned," Thornton said. "I don't think Prongs intentionally hurt him, that's for sure."
Murray called his team's mood "OK" entering what could be its final game until next fall.
"It's certainly not on a high, but I think come game-time tomorrow, we'll give it the shot we have to give," he said.

Two trends are becoming more and more prevalent with Samsung's (005930) smartphones as time moves on: They're getting bigger and they're getting more popular. Despite the success seen by "phablets" like the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S III, however, Samsung has seemingly acknowledged that some users prefer a flagship handset in a more manageable package. The company has now confirmed that it plans to launch a smaller Galaxy smartphone dubbed the Galaxy S III Mini, and the device will be unveiled during a press conference in Europe on Thursday, October 11th. "We'll unveil the 4 inch Galaxy S III Mini in Germany on October 11th," a company spokesperson told Engadget. Earlier rumors suggested that the new handset will be much like the current Galaxy S III smartphone but it will feature a smaller 4-inch display, placing it in direct competition with Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 5.

Therefore the technical security rating is 35% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
If you have any problems with MagicTune.exe, you can also do the following:
Recommended: Identify MagicTune.exe related errors
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as MagicTune.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the MagicTune.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security.

Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.

Now that we have had time to judge, who was better, the Replacement Officials or the Regular Officials? You see the image to the left, that was the lasting image in the NFL left by the replacement officials. The extremely bad call that should have been an interception by the Green Bay Packers, was ruled a touchdown by Golden Tate and gave the Seattle Seahawks a victory. Fans and media alike broke out in an outrage slamming the replacement officials for such a horrible call. I included slammed the replacements for missing such an obvious interception. In the first Thanksgiving game of the day, the Houston Texans benefited from several bad calls including a phantom off-sides call that extended a Texans drive in Overtime, but the one everyone is talking about is the Justin Forsett non-call that should have ruled him down but Walt Coleman let him go and penalized the Lions giving the Texans a touchdown that changed the game.… Read more

DirectoryM, an online directory publisher that had raised more than $20 million in funding but was later sold back to its employees at a big loss for its backers, is officially trying once again with a new name and revised business model. The company, now called nSphere, is generating local guides which it is syndicating to more than 700 online brands, including JDPower and Hachette Filipacchi's Car And Driver. The guides — which nSphere automatically generates by pulling information from various private and public databases — include aggregated articles on specific local topics, like "Seattle boats" or "Seattle travel," along with related local event listings and ads.
Some of the pages are of poor quality. For instance, the nSphere-syndicated page on the JDPower website about autos in New York City (see it here) repeats the same listing for a local car show five times and features a very-odd mish-mash of articles on classes of vehicles, which don't appear to have clear local tie-ins.
But in an interview with paidContent, CEO Panos Bethanis said that the quality of the pages will improve as the company adds more data sources. He also pointed us to these nSphere-made guides on PetPlace.com and these on RV enthusiast site Woodall's, which he said were of higher quality. Bethanis also noted that the quality of the pages is high enough that a significant percentage of visitors are choosing to share them on social networking sites.
The pages are also getting lots of traffic, primarily through the sites of its syndication partners; Bethanis says they are getting 20 million unique visitors monthly, along with 25 million page views. The revenue model depends on the partner, but Bethanis says ad revenue, which comes from Google's AdSense as well as through a self-serve ad platform, is typically split. The company is profitable and is generating in the "double-digit millions" in revenue, he says.
As DirectoryM, the company's pages were primarily straightforward listings from paying advertisers. Bethanis says that iteration failed because it was too capital intensive since it involved having a local ad sales force. Bethanis and other employees bought the company back for $4.5 million four years ago and have been working on rebuilding it since.
Two-and-a-half years ago, MediaPost outlined the new strategy in this piece, but the company has been mostly silent since, while it was refining it.

Great Movie6/1/2011
Wow. German war movies are usually depressing and remorseful. This one has some bright moments. The attention to detail in sets, props and costumes lends a great backdrop to a harsh story. This is a breathtaking film and respectfully told and portrayed.
an outstanding work of art9/21/2005
this movie takes you back to germany during the close of wwll. the viewer will feel as though he or she is a part of the story. i hope that there are more movies like this in future.
Good foreign film8/16/2005
This is a very good film. I don't normally like foreign films or films with subtitles but this is an exception. A very interesting look into Hitler's life right before the end. A good movie!

Thanks a lot for all the contributions and information. I appreciate it.
In regards to the shoe thing, for right now I'm going to try to stick with my Free's and see how that treats me, if I start feeling it too much I will consider getting some other shoes at that point. I just don't want to rush into buying a pair because I know to get a decent pair it's around $100 (the last Asics I got were $110).
If I run 3 times a week, 2-3 other workouts per week also? perhaps 2 metcons and 1 day of mostly prehab/mobility type stuff? I guess I need to start running and see how the other stuff falls in since recovery for me has always been an issue.

BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Friday that the alliance had agreed to end its seven-month campaign in Libya on Oct. 31.
"We have taken a preliminary decision to end Operation Unified Protector on Oct. 31," Fogh Rasmussen said after a meeting of the alliance's governing body, the North Atlantic Council. "We will take a formal decision early next week."
Diplomats said NATO air patrols are to continue over Libya in the next 10 days as a precautionary measure to ensure the stability of the new regime. They gradually will be reduced in coming days if there are no further outbreaks of violence.
Rasmussen hailed the success of the operation, which started on March 19 with a series of U.S.-led attacks designed to suppress Moammar Gadhafi's formidable air defenses, including missile and radar networks. Libya's former rebels killed Gadhafi on Thursday, and officials had said they expected the aerial operation to end very soon.
"It shows that freedom is the biggest force in the world," Fogh Rasmussen said.
He said it was up to the new government to decide whether to launch an investigation into the circumstances of Gadhafi's death.
"With regards to Gadhafi, I would expect the new authorities in Libya to live up fully to the basic principles of rule of law and human rignts, including full transparency."
Fogh Rasmussen said NATO had no intention of leaving any residual force in or near Libya.
"We expect to close down the operation."
The council took into account the wishes of Libya's new government and of the United Nations, under whose mandate NATO carried out its operations.
The success of the military operation has helped reinvigorate the Cold War alliance and polished the reputation of France and Britain, the two countries that drove it forward.
Analysts attributed its success to the fact that NATO remained steadfast over the summer during a long and grinding stalemate against Gadhafi loyalists and avoided the temptation to send ground troops into Libya.
NATO earlier said its commanders were not aware that Gadhafi was in a convoy that NATO bombed as it fled Sirte. In a statement Friday, the alliance said an initial Thursday morning strike was aimed at a convoy of approximately 75 armed vehicles leaving Sirte, the Libyan city defended by Gadhafi loyalists. One vehicle was destroyed, which resulted in the convoy's dispersal.
Another jet then engaged approximately 20 vehicles that were driving at great speed toward the south, destroying or damaging about 10 of them.
"We later learned from open sources and allied intelligence that Gadhafi was in the convoy and that the strike likely contributed to his capture," the statement said.
Intelligence gleaned during surveillance flights around Sirte on Thursday indicated that a "command and control group, including senior military leaders" were attempting to flee from the town, Cameron's spokesman Steve Field said.
"There was a strike, there was damage to the convoy, the Free Libya Fighters then moved in — as to what happened next that is not entirely clear," he said.
NATO warplanes have flown about 26,000 sorties, including over 9,600 strike missions. They destroyed about 5,900 military targets, including Libya's air defenses and over 1,000 tanks, vehicles and guns, as well as Gadhafi's command and control networks.
The daily airstrikes finally broke the stalemate that developed after Gadhafi's initial attempts failed to crush the rebellion that broke out in February. In August, the rebels began advancing on Tripoli, with the NATO warplanes providing close air support and destroying any attempts by the defenders to block them.
NATO was sharply criticized by Russia, China, South Africa and other nations for overstepping the limited U.N. Security Council resolution that allowed it to protect civilians, and using it as a pretext to pursue regime change in Libya.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said earlier Friday that "the operation has reached its end."
But in London, Britain had suggested that NATO may not immediately complete its mission in Libya, wary over the potential reprisal attacks by remaining Gadhafi loyalists.

ASHBURN, VA - JULY 30: Rookie offensive tackle Trent Williams of the Washington Redskins signs autographs for fans following practice on the second day of training camp July 30, 2010 in Ashburn, Virginia. Williams signed his contract with the team early this morning. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)
You may recall Redskins left tackle/noted marijuana enthusiast Trent Williams telling the D.C. Sports Bog that he got a a gorilla tattoo on his back. Well, he certainly did (via TMZ): That's really something. TMZ says it cost $3,000, which sounds like the going rate for the world's biggest silverback gorilla tattoo. And I love how the big fella isn't scary or intimidating in any way. He's just kind of sitting there, lost in thought. Must be the herb. Previously: Trent Williams' $150K Silverback Necklace

I wasn't sure where to ask this but I'll just ask in here. I've been searching for a CD of the UEFA Champions League anthem as performed originally by the the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Academy of St. Martin Chorus. AFAIK the anthem was ever released commercially. Anybody got a suggestion on how I might obtain one? It's played before every Champions leage match so the clubs must have a CD or a digital copy of it.
According to the
article, it has never been officially released. However, there used to be a link to an MP3 on that page, which I assumed was legit, as it was there for ages. Seems to have disappeared now though.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 3/30/13
NESN.com staff will pick the two or three best Amica Coverage Plays of the previous week for games played from Friday night to Thursday night. Voting will begin every Friday morning and conclude on Monday. The Bruins did not have many bright spots in their 3-1 loss to the Flyers on Saturday. They fell behind for the fourth straight game, this time 2-0, and were stonewalled by Philadelphia goalie Ilya Bryzgalov, who made 33 saves. Nathan Horton provided the lone highlight for the Bruins, and not just by scoring their only goal. A deeper analysis of the play showed how Horton kept working to score on a rebound after making a fundamental pass to Dennis Seidenberg to put the Bruins in position to score. Check out the Amica Coverage Cam play breakdown in the video above.

Download the LCC Associate Degree Nursing Program Admission Requirements »
College Admission
The process of admission to the nursing program is a separate process from admission to Lamar Community College.
Prerequisite Courses
HESI Admission Assessment (HESI A2) Exam
Schedule to take the HESI Admission Assessment Exam. This may be taken before you have completed the prerequisite courses. Applicants may take the HESI Admission Assessment Exam a total of two times. Students will be required to pay appropriate fees to the LCC Cashier in Student Services at least seven days in advance of the scheduled exam. Contact Sue Bowles in the Nursing Department for a copy of the schedule.
Application to LCC Nursing Program
Prior to admission into the Nursing Program, the following components must be submitted to the LCC Office of Admissions:
- Submit official transcript(s) documenting completion of prerequisite course requirements and cumulative GPA requirement.

LPN's who did not complete NUR 150 Obstetric and Pediatric Nursing or equivalent course as part of the PN program must provide documentation of completion of NUR 189 Transition from LPN to ADN to qualify for entry into the second year of the program.
Provisional Admission
Admission to Lamar Community College Nursing Program is on a first come, first served basis. In the event that the program is not full by June 15, provisional admission may be offered to students who have successfully completed the HESI-A2 Exam and are currently enrolled in the last of the required prerequisite courses. These students must attain a minimum 2.5 G.P.A. on all prerequisite courses to qualify for admission to the nursing program.
Prior to participation in nursing clinical courses, students must provide to the Office of Admissions documentation of the following:

Stand-alone pages
* CurrentTasks describes what we're working on, usually has a higher priority * CVS contains some tasks related to the CVS setup * Git presents the progress with http://git.or.cz/ support * SvNTasks explains what we need to improve SVN * SavaneTasks gives various ideas (easy and hard) to improve the Savane software which runs Savannah
* Read-only bind mounts changed in recent kernel, and this results in /home being read-only when rebooting a vserver. Upgrade util-vserver or work-around. * user katzchen is continously removed and recreated by the sv_users cron job. Investigate. * The Cacti CPU graph is apparently graphing "idle" when it's graphing "user". This makes people believe the CPU is loaded, while it's not (cf. Munin CPU graph and the anti-peak on march 4th when I artificially loaded the CPU)
* Make a clear, simple, illustrated explanation of the use of SSH public keys. That's not a very simple concept (PKI + keygen + passphrase + ssh-agent + ssh-add + pros over password-authentication) * Explain why we use CAcert.org, and explain how to import the certificate using screenshots
* Suggest unifying alpha/ftp/download.sv. This could be easily done by setting Savannah as the main upload area, and have it replicate signed files to ftp.gnu.org and alpha.gnu.org (this involves adding a new download area for GNU projects). * Per-project stats? e.g. http://stats.gna.org/ (you can try to contact https://gna.org/p/admin about it)
* Improve the quick-n-diry webpages sync-on-commit. commit_prep is needed to that a multi-directories commit doesn't trigger multiple remote 'cvs checkout' at once. * Add support for other targets directories, so we can properly host translations team at 'www.gnu.org/server/standards/translations/country_code/' * Unified notification for www.gnu.org portions. Possible unified CVS repository, dunno, but in the long run I'd rather have project chose how they want to update their webspace, so this doesn't fit well.
* document backing-up / fixing zope (Wiki + doc in the repository) * We need to keep several pieces of information out of Savannah: * contacts: get something automated to have your local copy in-sync * password (TLS CA + Zope + Mailman - others can be found in savannah or mysql config files): make a script to maintain a crypted file that contains the passes. Optionaly have the order of the passes scrambled at each regeneration (so no assumption can be made on several successive versions of the file) and do not rely on temporary files during the update. Optionaly do not put the passes in a file, but in each of our brains, and scrap this whole idea.
Mailing lists
* Clean-up mailing lists from old spam http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?103933
Unlike one of our proprietary competitors, we do not have a translation web interface. Installing Pootle (http://translate.sourceforge.net/) and integrating it with Savane would be great. Other improvements would be to connect it directly to the repository to edit the .po using a more intuitive web interface.
Note: Pootle is currently (1/2009) merging different branches and switching to the Django web framework. The latest release isn't very stable, but the next ought to be :)
http://transifex.org/ is not a web interface but rather attempts to simplify and unify the translation workflow, easing maitainers/translators interactions.
The Translation Project (http://www.translationproject.org/) doesn't have tools to edit the .po and .pot per se, but they have a publication system to manage them by team. It manages a good part of the GNU projects, including coreutils and GCC. The source code can be found at: http://svn.vrijschrift.org/tp-repo/TP/
Tools to work with .po:
* http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/index - the Translate Toolkit, used by Pootle.
* http://code.google.com/p/polib/ - .po parser
* https://launchpad.net/pyg3t - http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~k-nielsen81/pyg3t/trunk/files - only an initial code import
Other projects:
* TRAD-LANG: http://eledo.com/article17.html * Entrans: http://entrans.sourceforge.net/demo/main.php * Poliglota: https://tracker.gnulinuxmatters.org/wiki/Poliglota * CLWE: http://www.wiki-translation.com/ * Ikiwiki: http://ikiwiki.info/ (a native translation plugin using po4a is under development)
* Down with Rosetta! (proprietary, used at Ubuntu Lanchpad)
Assigned to:
Provide a wiki for projects: problems include spam and replication for 2500+ projects. Or 1 big wiki for everybody, but we need to have a solid spam protection first. The goal is to avoid setting up a wiki that will be filled with spam, with not enough visitors to fix it (we're not as big as Wikipedia just yet ;)). Note that WikiSpam is usually different than (unfortunately) more common mail spam.
The format used by the wiki is also important. It would be good to be able to switch to another wiki system in the future, if needed.
This very wiki is hosted by ZWiki, but it relies on Zope. We don't have much experience with Zope, but from what we could see it doesn't seem suitable for hosting a lot of wikis. For example, the size of the ZODB grows large very quickly (600M for 1 wiki, which we thus had to purge).
Suggestion for anti-spam: I think that one of the most useful anti-spam features would actually be statistics. We have numerous anti-spam systems in different areas, but little data on how much spam was caught, nor ways to quickly review caught spam to check for possible false positives. It would be good to have a set of anti-spam features that we could enable or disable, and then see how effective it was.
Another discussion: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2009-01/msg00003.html
* Official .gnu.org webpages need to be validated by maintainers and their team - open wiki can be a problem
- Work-around: manual sync from temp wiki site to .gnu.org for the Hurd Wiki
- Disallow non-member contribution (not recommended)
Find a nice wiki for that, consuming little resource
* Or provide a big wiki for everybody
* Plan something against spam (TextCHA seems to work fine at the moment)

Hi Beuc.. zodb files get large, but that's just historical records chewing up disk space, and does not correspond to memory usage. Many zope sites have zodb files of 1G or more. Pack it periodically to keep the size down. FYI I host 30 zwikis on one server and 60 on another without problem.
zodb size --Beuc, Sat, 13 Oct 2007 09:30:46 +0000
Hi, that's what I meant with "purge", that is, "pack". I had to throw away the wiki history because of that. I think I read that new ZWikis version are using their own history format to avoid this problem, though. Anyway maybe I'm wrong, but until now I don't find Zope very practical, packing being one of the burdens.

That's correct, current Zwiki preserves edit history through packs. Well it's easy to pack nightly with a cron job, but I hear you, chat me if I can help.
