Emerald Ash Borer "EAB"
The emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) is perhaps one of the most destructive tree pests we have seen in decades. Larvae of this insect feed under the bark of ash trees. They damage the ability of the tree to transport water and nutrients, and may kill the tree in as little as two to four years.
This shimmering beetle was first discovered in southeastern Michigan in the summer of 2002, and has since spread into Ontario Canada and has been found in 25 States: Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Oddly enough emerald ash borer is not considered a destructive pest in the native area of Asia where it is originally from. Natural predators, insect disease, and ash tree resistance is enough to keep this insect in check. These natural controls were left behind when emerald ash borer was accidentally introduced to North America through international trade.
Iowa found emerald ash borer for the first time in 2010. The pest was found on an island in the main channel of the Mississippi River that was less than a mile from known infested areas in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The emerald ash borer has been officially found in twenty-nine Iowa counties: Allamakee, Des Moines, Jefferson, Cedar, Union, Black Hawk, Bremer, Wapello, Jasper, Henry, Muscatine, Boone, Story, Appanoose, Lucas, Mahaska, Marion, Monroe, Keokuk, Clinton, Dallas, Polk, Scott, Davis, Poweshiek, Lee, Montgomery, Dubuque and Linn Counties.
The entire State of Iowa was placed under quarantine for EAB on February 4, 2014 to slow the accidental movement of EAB by humans to areas outside of Iowa. A matching statewide Federal quarantine is also active.
Link - What quarantines are in effect for EAB and where ?
Experience has taught us that infestations tend to be at least three to five years old before discovery and also well established. Many new infestations have been found by home owners who have called and inquired about EAB. If you live in Iowa and suspect emerald ash borer as a new introduction to your area, please contact us, and we would be happy to take a look.
How Big is the Problem ?
Consider This...
- Over 40 million ash trees have been killed in Michigan.
- Millions more in other infested states.
- The majority of Iowa towns and cities have planted ash trees along streets and in parks.
- Many private homes have ash trees for shade and comfort.
- Removal and replanting of dead and dying ash trees will cost Iowa communities millions of dollars.
Ash tree symptoms can easily be confused for disease, enviromental damage, or other insect problems. The emerald ash borer is difficult to find because the beetle does not respond strongly to pheromone-based lures; therefore, there are only marginally effective detection traps available.
While many trees infested by insects have been stressed or diseased, emerald ash borer may also infest healthy trees that show no problems. The larva or grub is the destructive life stage. Adult beetles cause very little damage to trees. They do feed on ash leaves, but not to excessive levels.
The biggest threats concerning Iowa's ash resources are the transportation of ash firewood, ash logs, and unprocessed items of ash from infested areas. Although the beetle is capable of strong flight, human activities are the primary cause of long distance spread.
There are now Federal and State Laws, prohibiting the transportation of the above mentioned articles from EAB infested areas. Firewood that is sold in Iowa must be labeled to include the source company or person, location of harvest, and tree species.
Other Emerald Ash Borer Facts
Research on the emerald ash borer had been very limited prior to 2002 when it was first found in Michigan near the port city of Detroit. There existed less than two pages of scientific literature in the entire world on this insect, and those pages were published in China where emerald ash borer is a native species. Basically all scientific information regarding this insect had to be newly learned, as it simply did not exist.
Entomologists at the USDA and several Universities are intensely studying this small, yet highly destructive insect, in order to thoroughly understand it. Research has included basic biology such as habitat, lifespan, flight capabilities, mating, and hosts preferences.
Additional research such as natural insect predators, preventative insecticide products, resistant varieties of ash, and trapping techniques are ongoing.
Emerald ash borer has been found to infest only ash trees in the Midwest. This includes all green ash, white ash, and black ash varieties common to North America. Trees greater than 2 inches in diameter and larger can become infested. This may occur in woodlands, as well as landscaped urban areas. There has been one documented case of EAB infesting white fringe tree, a closely related species in the same family as ash, in the southern United States. This host is not common in Iowa due to colder climate.
It is believed that emerald ash borer arrived in the United States stowed away in wooden crates, pallets, and shipping material containing cargo from the native area of Asia. DNA testing has revealed that 3 distinct populations of EAB occur in the USA, possibly meaning that more than one accidental introduction of EAB to the United States has occurred.

ML lowers iPod, Mac, AAPL estimates
updated 10:20 am EDT, Thu April 13, 2006
Anlayst lowers AAPL
March iPod sales slowed from the first two months in 2006, causing one analyst to lower his sales estimates for the March quarter as well as Apple's fiscal 2006. In a research note released to analysts, Merrill Lynch analyst Richard Farmer has reduced his March quarter estimates of iPod sales to 8.8 million (from 10.1 million) based on a triangulation of January and February NPD monthly numbers and current weekly data available for March. Farmer said that preliminary data for March is "most likely to reflect growth below both February and January (which were 140 percent and 66 percent, respectively). We assume mix shifts to international, which NPD numbers do not reflect," the analyst said; however, he noted that Apple may benefit from falling NAND flash prices. Farmer cut his overall 2006 iPod sales by 11 percent to 47 million.
The research firm believes that the market overreacted to the recent introduction of Apple's Boot Camp technology.
"We think the market overreacted to the 'boot camp' (Windows on Mac) announcements last week. Consumers that signal superficial interest may bail at the cash register when it's time to pay a premium for the hardware plus $200-300 for the Windows license plus more for duplicate applications not to mention the lack of support from Apple for the Windows camp and the need to reboot the machine when going back and forth from Win to Mac," Farmer wrote in his research note.
Long-term Mac estimates up, short term down
Farmer said that Apple's Boot Camp will increase sales of Macs in the long term, despite slower-than-expected Mac sales in the March quarter. "That said, we do expect some incremental Mac buyers and are raising our F2007E estimate of Mac revenue share of the global PC market by 0.25 percent from 3.45 percent to 3.7 percent." The analyst cut his Mac unit sales estimates for the March quarter to 1.1 million (from 1.3 million) due to the slow ramp in MacBook Book Pro production.
The new estimates reflect a nine percent sequential drop in quarterly Mac sales from the strong holiday quarter and modest increase of six percent increase in Mac unit sales year-over-year; however, higher priced desktops and laptops have increased its estimates for average Mac selling price to $1,370, up about 11 percent from the year-ago quarter.
Merrill said that its March quarter revenue estimates of $4.338 billion are now below consensus, but still represents 34 percent year-over-year growth. The company's EPS estimates of $0.45 are still a penny above consensus Wall Street estimates. The company maintains a "neutral" rating on Apple stock.

I landed the above two packs brand new at a close out sale. The big pack will easily hold a REALLY large camera . Of course the wife is against that idea. Oh well, it will hold all of my LF 4x5 and and 5x7 stuff on trips.
Now I need to find the foam stuff to make them into photo packs. Where can I get the stuff that is in Pelican cases or dividers like in other bags? Any direction will be good. I would like to stay away from regular foam padding if I can.

NEW YORK - For New York City, it wasn't an unusual sight: a possibly mentally ill woman pacing and mumbling to herself on an elevated subway station platform.
The woman eventually took a seat on a bench Thursday night, witnesses later said. Then, without any warning or provocation, she sprang up and used both hands to shove a man into the path of an oncoming train.
As police sought on Friday to locate the unidentified woman, Mayor Michael Bloomberg urged residents to keep the second fatal subway shove in the city this month in perspective. The news of the horrific death of a 46-year-old man from India came as the mayor touted drops in the city's annual homicide and shooting totals.

Verizon, Partners Push OpenFlow, SDN
The demonstration lab will include HP BL460 G7 blades running quad-core Intel Xeon 5600 series processors, HP Networking switches and the HP CloudSystem Matrix, which is HP's infrastructure-as-a-service platform. HP in February offered a free OpenFlow download for customers to install on their HP switches to enable SDN.
The demonstration at the Open Networking Summit should give more traction to the development of OpenFlow and SDN, says Bob Laliberte, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategies Group: "It will be great to see demonstrations with commercially available products because with any new technology, users are always looking for validation. Who else is doing this? How are they using it? What benefits does it provide?"
Other players in the growing but nascent SDN market include Big Switch Networks and Nicira.
The Open Networking Summit is hosted by the Open Network Foundation, a group of academics, vendors and, more importantly, enterprise IT professionals who run data centers and have to make decisions about investing in OpenFlow and SDN.
Prior to the opening of the summit, NEC announced the establishment of the Open Networking Research Center, to be co-developed by the company along with Stanford University and the University of California-Berkeley. Much of the original research on OpenFlow was conducted at the two San Francisco Bay Area schools. Eleven other companies have joined in support of the center, including Cisco, HP, Huawei and Juniper--all rivals in the network equipment space--as well as Google, Ericsson, Texas Instruments and VMware.

Zac Efron addresses his addiction struggle with Bear Grylls, says he needed a 'Social lubricant'

Zac Efron is running wild -- and opening up about his past struggles with addiction.
"The High School Musical" alum, 26, was the first celebrity to appear on "Running Wild with Bear Grylls," NBC's new reality show where Grylls takes celebrities on two-day excursions to put their survival skills to the test.
In addition to jumping out of a helicopter, being dropped into the Catskill Mountains, and eating a worm, Efron, who has completed two stints in rehab, opened up to the survivalist about achieving fame early on and what ultimately led to his struggles with addiction.
"It was just so quick -- it was shocking," the blue-eyed hunk admitted about hitting fame at such a young age. "The challenging part was never the work, that was never it," Efron began when asked by Grylls what led him to rehab. "It was sort of the in-between work -- the social aspects outside of it; everywhere you go [there are press and people watching] … and it can be confusing … and pretty soon you need a social lubricant," he said.
"Once it became that … it got to the point where I was caring less about the work and waiting more for the weekend where I couldn't wait to go out and let loose and have fun," the "Neighbors" actor went on. "But when Monday and Tuesday were difficult to get through, I thought, 'This is bad.'"
PHOTOS: Celebrity rehab centers
Although Efron is now able to open up about his struggles, he admits it's taken a lot to get to this point. "I just really never again want to take anything from the outside in to feel … comfortable in my present skin, and that takes a lot of work," he said. "It's just meditation and stopping and slowing down your brain."

Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot Opens In Irvine
Categories: Now Open
|Edwin Goei
What they specialize in are, of course, fondue-style hot pots, with dip-your-own meats for you to cook in a flavorful and sometimes lip burning broths made roiling by an induction burner. They actually started in Inner Mongolia in 1999 and has this description for its meals:
I've long been a Little Sheep fan and enjoyed them before they moved into the new space it now occupies in Hacienda Heights, before this Irvine store opened, and before they became part of the Colonel's empire, and I'm looking forward to more.Mongolian Hot Pot serves as the forerunner to the modern fondue. Its history stems back hundreds of years to the nomadic Mongols, where tribes would gather together around a fire to cook fresh meats in a communal pot with simmering broth. Overtime, hot pot is refined, but the fundamental ideas of fresh and healthy ingredients, sharing, friendship, family, and the excitement of gathering around a dinner table remains unchanged. Today, Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot continues this culture and offers exactly this.With 36 spices and ingredients in our original soup base recipe, our flavorful broth is sure to satisfy every single one of your taste buds. The highest quality meats ranging from lamb, beef, pork, and poultry are sliced perfectly to cook within seconds of touching the simmering broth. Vegetarian? No problem. We offer a wide range of leafy greens, mushrooms, and other vegetables that perfectly complements our famous broth. Seafood lovers will also not be left out with our fresh seafood list.

A note from the founder:
NipEaze was developed beginning in 2004 by a Kentucky runner who, at the time, could not find a product on the market to help prevent nipple issues that many active men and women deal with. After about 8 years of trial and error, the first successful prototype was produced. The finished product is a proprietary blend of high-quality, hypo-allergenic materials shaped into the perfect design for the most sensitive area of your torso. NipEaze Adhesive Covers not only help prevent painful nipple abrasion, but do so comfortably, discreetly, and lastingly no matter how extreme your workout and no matter how much you sweat. Additionally, NipEaze can be used as a fashion accessory to help hide nipples under lightweight or clingy tops, tanks, tees, and other attire.
Since the first sale in February of 2012, we have received a lot of positive feedback from people all around the world, many of whom say they have wanted a product like this for years. We are honored to be part of the growing world of fitness. Our users include athletes of all levels, from beginner to marathon runner to endurance competitor.
Most importantly, it gives us great pride to be part of American industry and American job growth.
Thanks for using our product.

Three-time Iditarod Sled Dog Race champion Dallas Seavey uses a 50-foot treadmill in a refrigerated trailer to train his dogs during the off-season.
Ever wonder why mushers do what they do? How they endure the cold, and darkness for 1,000 miles along the Iditarod Trail? In 2014, Alaska Dispatch News created a musher profile series featuring some of the top Iditarod mushers in the state. Learn about their training methods, their dogs, and their unbridled determination.
As an Anchorage cardiologist, Mark Selland has an impressive medical resume. He also has an impressive resume when it comes to outdoor escapades. But he says running his first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race may be his toughest challenge yet.
Jeff King thinks of the Iditarod as a 10-day stretch, in which his dog team must go 100 miles each day. When his dogs run out gas, he pulls over and fills up the tank by feeding and resting them.

ENTERPRISE — Backyard Gardens and 6 Ranch join forces this season to offer Wallowa Valley grass-fed meat to Backyard Gardens' vegetable share members.
Members who receive their weekly vegetables will have the option to receive a monthly supply of locally raised grass-fed beef, pork, and lamb distributed through 6 Ranch.
Adele Nash of 6 Ranch said, "I'm really excited to have this happening. This is an affordable way for local residents to purchase high quality, local meats."
Backyard Gardens will resume its popular community-supported agriculture, or CSA, program for residents of Wallowa and Union counties in June. People who sign up will receive a box of fresh, homegrown vegetables each week throughout the 22-week growing season.
Backyard Gardens, located in Joseph, began its community-supported agriculture program in 2008 and is owned by Beth Gibans. She said CSAs are a way to encourage local agriculture by paying the farmer up front to grow produce or meat for customers throughout the season. In exchange, members receive a box of fresh, seasonal produce each week, or month as is the case with the meat.
Produce is delivered to locations in Enterprise and Joseph, and can also be sent to Wallowa and Union County on the Community Connection shuttle.
Gibans has been growing vegetables in Wallowa County since 2002 and is a founding member of the Wallowa County Farmers' Market. She also sells her produce to several area restaurants and stores.
Gibans started the CSA program as a way to expand her business and make her vegetables available to the community in a new way.
There are two share sizes from which to choose; a full share and a half share. Each full share box should feed about two to four people depending on appetites. A half share will feed one to two people. Gibans also offers a farmers market CSA. Through that program, people who pay up front will get credit to buy produce at a discount either at the farmers market or through weekly email orders.
The meat CSA costs $125 per month for five months or $140 per month if you pay month-to-month.
"A CSA is a great way for farmers and eaters to support each other," said Gibans. "We love sharing the bounty with our customers, and they are thrilled with the variety and freshness of what's in season."
The CSA is ideal for people who like to cook and enjoy being creative with a variety of seasonal produce. It's also a better value than buying produce each week at the market.
People who sign up for weekly deliveries also get the added benefit of receiving their produce and meat without having to go shopping.
"Opening the box each week is a real pleasure which usually includes snacking on something right out of the box, immediately incorporating other veggies into that night's dinner, and putting away the rest for use over the following week," says CSA member Adele Buttolph. "The CSA program feels like a bountiful produce oasis."
The cost of veggie membership averages out to about $22 per week for the full share, $15 per week for the half share. Vegetables include salad mix, spinach, broccoli, beets, carrots, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, basil, peppers, zucchini and winter squash. The variety and quantity of the produce increases as the season progresses.
A weekly newsletter, recipe suggestions and tips for preserving produce are also included. Weekly shares of salad mix and cut flowers are also available.

Planning for Fracking on the Barnett Shale: Soil and Water Contamination Concerns, and the Role of Local Government
Rawlins, Rachael, Environmental Law
The Texas RRC, not the TCEQ, the State's primary environmental regulatory agency, has jurisdiction over wastes, spills, and discharges (both hazardous and nonhazardous) resulting from activities associated with the exploration, development, or production of gas (prior to its use in any manufacturing process or as a fuel), including storage, handling, reclamation, gathering, transportation, or distribution of natural gas by pipeline. (289) Although water quality standards are established by the TCEQ, the RRC has responsibility for enforcing any violation of those standards. (290) Discharges regulated by the RRC are not required to comply with regulations of the TCEQ that are not water quality standards (i.e. technology based standards), (291) and activities associated with the exploration, development, or production of oil and gas are specifically exempted from compliance with the TCEQ's regulatory permitting program for stormwater runoff from construction or industrial activities. (292)
In lieu of the RCRA regulatory program, the Texas RRC has created an alternate regulatory program to govern gas industry operations. The Texas RRC explains that the RCRA exemption is based on the unique nature of exempt oil and gas wastes that are said to be generated in large quantities, but are relatively low in toxicity. (293) Consistent with this rationale, as explained in detail below, the program is lax. (294) However, studies reveal that gas industry wastes include highly toxic chemicals, including chemicals listed as hazardous waste under RCRA. (295) Theo Colborn et al., identified forty toxic chemicals in pit solids drawn from six evaporation pits in New Mexico, including RCRA-listed hazardous wastes. (296) Isolating drilling wastes, Colborn identified twenty-two chemicals, including at least two listed as RCRA hazardous wastes (297) and one listed as a toxic waste under CERLCA (298) following an accidental blowout in Wyoming that contaminated 25,000 square feet of soil before any fracking had begun on the well. (299) During the blowout, residents suffered severe respiratory distress, nausea, and vomiting and had to be evacuated from their homes for several days. (300) Colborn explains that complaints of similar symptoms from residents near other gas operations suggests that the use of toxic chemicals during drilling is not unique. (301)
As acknowledged by EPA, toxic chemicals, including listed hazardous wastes, are also used in solvents used to clean equipment or to flush pipelines at drilling sites. (302) Colborn identified methylene chloride, (303) a toxic solvent listed as a hazardous waste under RCRA, (304) at well pad sites and in air samples during weekly air quality monitoring near natural gas operations in rural western Colorado, including several readings in high concentrations. (305) Methylene chloride has the potential to leach into groundwater and has been the subject of soil and groundwater remediation action in other contexts. (306)
The idea that the toxicity of these wastes may be safely diluted is clearly at odds with the policy rationale driving the RCRA regulatory program. (307) RCRA seeks to ensure that wastes are properly treated and not simply diluted to mask the concentration of hazardous constituents. (308) Pursuant to the RCRA regulatory program, if any amount of a listed hazardous waste mixes with a nonhazardous solid waste (a broadly defined category of discarded materials), (309) the entire mixture is regulated as a listed hazardous waste. (310) A small vial of listed waste mixed with a large quantity of nonhazardous waste would cause the resulting mixture to bear the same waste code and regulatory status under RCRA as the original listed component. (311)
Congress passed RCRA in response to decades of inadequately controlled dumping that led to contamination of land, ground, and surface waters. …

How to Know a Manipulator
Learn from someone who is one, or knows how to be one. Learn how to spot a manipulator.
You walk past them one day and they smile at you and suddenly you are walking the same way every day, just to see that smile again. They slowly approach moving closer to you and giving you a little more insight each day about who they are. They have an air of confidence but a shy demeanor. Finally they say hi and you practically drop to your knees with excitement.
This is how a manipulator starts. They usually come into your lives slowly as they read you and figure out your body language, likes and dislikes and even your wardrobe. I was told once that the wisest person in the room was the one who wasn't saying anything, they were listening to everything that was going on. I realized when I became that quiet person, it wasn't just the listening that they were doing. We study you and capture every moment until you become the target. We follow and know every move you make. Then we move in for the kill, get what we want and leave.
So how do you know who we are? Here is a not-so-simple list of things that you can watch for.
AttitudeRead more in Relationships
Not so simple to see if you are already hooked, but you can spot it in people. Most of the time you know when people are giving you attitude but that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about how they carry themselves and it isn't an attitude that makes you step back and decide to get defensive. They have perfected what they need to send off as their attitude to make you think you should approach them or allow them to approach you. If you look closely though there is a fine line between who they really are and who they have perfected for you. Trust your first instinct because your subconscious mind may be seeing more than you do. Keep your guard up and watch for theirs to fall occasionally.
Too Good To Be True
Like everyone says, "if it's too good to be true." They are right. If they have too much in common with you be very leery, they have probably studied enough to know about things you may like and can bullshit their way through it. We, I mean they, are really good at that. The perfect sales people. Some of them can read you in a split second.
Saving the World
If someone swoops in when they see you are down, they could be a good friend, or they may have just been waiting for the opportunity to sweep you off your feet and save the world. I have a lot of friends that swoop in when I need them, but I can always tell when someone is trying to take advantage of a situation. I guess it is intuition again and hard to explain. But they want to make your world perfect and be your savior. They will constantly be a shoulder to cry on and when the time is right they will pull you in.
Overly Reasonable
When they seem perfect and want to be over reasonable about things, like you spending time with your friends, usually there is a hook later. Once you think that they are perfect and you are hooked, they will start cutting you off from the people who love you. It may be a slow process of one friend at a time or one place, like your favorite bar, at a time. Know who your real friends are before you start relying on a new person who says you shouldn't listen to them. Stay on your toes and be watchful of someone who slowly tells you that other people are taking advantage of you.
I have a daughter that doesn't quit seem to get it when people tell her to pay attention to things. She doesn't seem to catch on when people try to tell her what other people might be doing to her. I have to sit down and give her a list and then point things out after they happen. That is not uncommon because she is still kind of young but I worry about what is going to happen when I am not there? Who is going to tell her that she is being manipulated? If I could just teach her to be on her toes and watch for these signs then maybe she will learn. Having a watchful eye and knowing what to look for helps, but some manipulators are very good and they know what you will be looking for. Also, some people who act like this may truly be good people and you don't want to let them go. How do you know which they are? You have to watch and trust your own judgment two things that are very hard to do when someone is flattering you and saving your world.

i didnt get this phrase…\"They will constantly be a shoulder to cry on and when the time is right they will pull you in\"
if any reader gets it please explain it to me …
On August 14, 2008 at 10:30 am
What I meant by that was that they will always be there when you are in need. A good example would be if a women is in a relationship and another man is constantly there for her when she has problems with the relationship. He is constantly listening to her about any problems that may be occuring and letting her vent. What he is actually doing is waiting for the relationship to go bad so he can step in and save her.
On August 18, 2008 at 8:35 am
Very interesting, sometimes it takes a while for people to catch on but I'm sure that your daughter will learn from your example.
On August 29, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Yup! Good stuff!
On September 11, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Thanks to all of you for your comments. It is wonderful to get feedback and questions.

Disappointed once again. I've got more than a few sites and have yet to begin adding the content. I had hoped to get it done BEFORE the next PR update so that, maybe, just maybe, one of my sites would have a good PR.
Oh well, I'll have to try again for the next one.
Might I ask though, how long does a PR update last? Just a day, or maybe a few?
Until now, my PR is still zero. My blog is already 6 months old, already crawled by Google and indexed, but I don't receive enough impressions in my blog. Right now, I'm doing link building in various forums just to promote my blog and get enough impressions and clicks in my Adsense ads. So far, I think I know now how to increase my blog's PR manually. It's a good experience.
I still not having enough impressions on my site. I am having regular visitors but it still haven't increased my rankings. What do you think do I need to do?
what is your pagerank? how PR is calculated by google?
My Site Pr Dropped From Pr3 To Pr1 ..
As far as I know,PR updated every 3 months...
you can get some infor from this link
I still have PageRank zero. I recently checked my PR in GooglePageRankChecker.Com. Link building and updating my blog 3-5 times weekly will definitely gonna work, but could be a challenging one.
That's a good update!
My site is completely new so it needs time to start building PR!

Bankruptcy's Uncontested Axioms
Baird, Douglas G., The Yale Law Journal
Debates about the law of corporate reorganizations often seem to be debates about facts.(1) From this it might seem that good empirical research can resolve the large differences that exist between competing camps of bankruptcy scholarship. First-rate empirical work has, of course, been done.(2) It has also changed the way some have thought about bankruptcy law.(3) Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to think that empirical studies will do much to end the current debates. To be sure, new information requires scholars and policymakers to update their prior beliefs, but rarely will so much information be available that differences can be resolved among those who begin at separate starting places. Strongly held prior beliefs will converge only if new information is plentiful. Among modern bankruptcy scholars, the starting places are far apart and the chance that new information will do much to bring them closer together is remote.
If it is unlikely that new information can bring scholars closer together, it might seem that nothing can. Prior beliefs can be compared to postulates in geometry. Euclidean geometry is based on the notion that only one line can run parallel to another through any given point. This idea is neither true nor false. One can build a coherent geometry either with this postulate, or with the postulate that multiple lines can run parallel to another line through a given point, or with the postulate that none can. Neither is more or less true than the other. All axioms in mathematics have this character.
It is a mistake, however, to assume that axioms are incontestable, even in mathematics. Axioms can be more or less interesting. Axioms can be more or less consistent with each other. They can be more or less complete.(4) Even in the world of pure mathematics, axioms can be assessed according to how useful they are.(5) In the messy universe of the law, it is not only even easier to cast a critical eye, it is also more important. In this Essay, I set out the two different sets of axioms now current among bankruptcy scholars, examine each, and suggest why people are drawn to one set or the other. I do not try to bridge the gap between the two camps, but rather to assess its implications, both for the future of scholarship and the dynamics of bankruptcy legislation.
In this Essay, I attempt to look at this problem as a neutral observer who comes to these questions without preconceptions. Nevertheless, these questions hold an interest for me precisely because I have been involved in these debates for a long time and have been strongly identified with the ranks of those whom I call proceduralists.(6) Hence, I must remind both myself and the reader of the difficulties I face in trying to assume the vantage point of a disinterested observer.(7)
My aim is twofold. First, I set out the ways in which these two sets of axioms have created the world in which bankruptcy scholars now find themselves--one in which there are two discrete groups, yet few in either group pay much attention to the other. Second, I explore the foundations of each set of axioms, quite apart from testing their empirical assumptions. The different axioms, I suggest, stem not from different political beliefs but rather from radically different views of the underlying normative bases of the role of bankruptcy law and the aims of legal scholarship.
Part I of the Essay identifies the two competing groups and outlines in general terms their different axioms. The next three Parts examine each competing axiom in turn. Part V connects the tensions between these competing axioms with the purposes the law serves and the politics of bankruptcy reform. Part VI concludes with observations about why these two groups start in such different places.
Sorting legal scholars into distinct camps is a dangerous business. Successful academics have views that are too complex and too modulated to be rigidly categorized. …

That's a lots of weeks I didn't post on the blog. I know, that's not the first time, sorry guys.
As an update on my last months, tasks, there is a lot to say and share. I've been very busy, and it's not finished yet ….
First thing I wanted to share with you guys, is the event I imagined, and led in France by mid-December 2009.
I had the idea of this event after I attended the first SharePoint 2010 Ignite IT Pro training ever delivered. This happened on August 2009, at Building 20 on Microsoft Campus. The most experienced and knowledgeable MSFT internal guys was here, either speaking or attending the first SharePoint 2010 Ignite delivery.
This event was called Ignite Alpha. The leaders in Microsoft in charge of this "readiness" are numerous, but the main ones leading the event are Michal Gideoni and James Petrosky. I thank them for inviting me at this "Who's who" SharePoint internal event. We were 30 in the main room + 30 in a second room, connected via LiveMeeting.
Attending this event was great & strange in the same time:
So, back from this great moment and learning event, I realized that: MCS France had invested time and money on me, I was recognized by Corp being a SME, and met my peers for the first time. That led to funny situations: 2 times during the training, guys came to me and asked: "Are you Emmanuel Bergerat? The guy that wrote the White Paper on SharePoint automation and scripted setup?" – You never know how it will turn - but I said "Yes!?". They then hug me saying "Really nice to meet you: your White Paper helped me in a lot in project XYZ, and you know: It really works!". I still don't know what to think of that comment, regarding the others' White Papers :-).
Question was: How to leverage smartly the knowledge I gained on SharePoint 2010?
Answer: go and talk to the SharePoint Product Manager in France, Karim Manar, and connect with your own management to see how we can support SharePoint 2010 readiness & launch.
After few talks, that was it: We agreed to create a "SharePoint 2010 Ignite France"
This event was planned to support awareness of the partners regarding SharePoint 2010.
Building the content & planning, we decided few main things with Karim and others supporting people in Microsoft France:
And we did it.
It has been delivered on December, from the 15th to 17th 2009 to approximately 50 partners people.
The agenda was:
The 2 weeks before the event were very intense. We all had to rework the internal content. Especially since I pushed for the use of the public beta. That meant: everyone to get the Virtual Machine I created for the event, then adapt the labs related data and manuals to fit the real/actual Lab machine.
That was quite some work to do that.
I want here to thanks the speakers: Frank Halmaert, Etienne Lacour, Olivier Laymand, Osman Malik & Alain Bastardie. I also have a nice thanks to Karim that partly funded the event, and made it a real success with the few goodies he brought at the end of day 1 :-). Then all the others that helped at BMO, MCS, and Aston Education (Winwise institute).
We also want to thank the attendees. They were very positive and involved during the 3 days. We were very impressed by their will to do and finish all the labs.
Now the results! Was it worth the effort:
That definitely worth it.
Now, let's prepare the RTM launch of SharePoint 2010.
Thanks a lot to everyone that made this event possible.
That was a pleasure (even if it was also a lot of work) to contribute in SharePoint 2010 success in France. This product absolutely deserves it.

I'm not so sure.
The analysts also pay attention to cash flow. Right now, Kodak's traditional operations do wonders for its cash flow picture - if for no other reason than these traditional operations result in a great deal of depreciation which is added on to the cash flow.
Cash flow is the main determinant in the cost of acquiring and servicing debt. When you restructure (which Kodak has been doing non-stop for years) - you tend to acquire lots of debt.
Kodak just let a big piece of recurring cash flow go in the form of their Health operation - and much of that is being used to reduce their debt. However, they will probably want to be reasonably sure that they will not need access to low-cost debt in the short-term if they surrender their film operations. Because this will have a pretty negative impact on cash flow and raise their borrowing costs.
On the other hand, you balance all that against what you are likely to fetch for the film operations. Right now, the only estimates I've seen peg its value 0.5 X its annual revenue given that the film market is moribund (at best) but profitable. So we are talking about $1.5 - 2.0 billion (thereabouts) and that number will only go down with time.
So the decision, I think, is pretty complicated. If Kodak's inkjets prove to be runaway hits and digital margins start to look much better - then maybe there's no need to acquire new debt and film's margins will start to look like a drag.
But that's all speculative on my part.

'Puppy Bowl IX' Surged During Superdome Power OutageAnimal Planet's cuteness display drew best-ever 12.4M unique P2+ viewers over 12-hour marathon 2/05/2013 04:19:58 PM Eastern
Animal Planet said the ninth rendition of its Super Bowl counter-programming gambit -- Puppy Bowl -- recorded an event-record 12.4 million unique viewers ages 2 and up over 12 hours of airing.
It also enjoyed an audience surge during the 34 minutes when the football game was halted due to a partial blackout at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. The Discovery-owned network said that during a 9-minute slice of time several minutes into the Super Bowl stoppage (8:51-9 p.m. ET), Puppy Bowl IX counted 1.1 million viewers P2+, a gain of 54% from the prior Puppy Bowl IX segment. (For an account of how the Puppy Bowl taping was disrupted by Hurricane Sandy, please see the Through The Wire column from Jan. 14, subscription required.)
During Puppy Bowl IX's premiere telecast from 3-5 p.m. (ET/PT), it brought in more than 2.6M P2+ viewers, an increase of 64% over year-ago levels. It posted gains across major demos, delivering 1.8 HH (+60%), 1.2M P18-49 (+94%) and 1M P25-54 (+60%), the network said in a release.

First Legalization, Then Lawsuits
Can marijuana retailers survive the tort bar?
May 26, 2014, Vol. 19, No. 35 • By JOHN P. WALTERS and TOM RILEY
The legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington has spawned reports of increased use, declining perception of risk, increased neonatal risk, drug tourism, diversion of public assistance to fund use, creation of significantly more powerful forms of the drug, and new financial rules to permit money from drug sales to enter the banking system. President Obama, moreover, proclaims marijuana use is no more dangerous than drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco—virtually assuring that the legalization of marijuana will be a defining domestic policy of his presidency. That is a matter for politics and history. A more pressing question for us is how families and communities can protect themselves from this unfolding debacle.
Singing his president's tune
Marijuana legalization—and what some now suggest will be the legalization of all drugs—is dangerous, but not unstoppable. Indeed, the dangers can be turned against the forces of legalization. The new drug retailers are known businesses. They sell a dangerous, addictive product, and they need a substantial number of addicted users as their customer base to generate the profits they seek. In other words, addiction is not a byproduct, it is a business plan.
As these businesses grow more powerful, they deploy lobbyists to pressure government leaders to write laws that improve their bottom lines. Hence recent efforts to eliminate regulations that keep drug money out of our banks. Legislation that improves the viability of these businesses also increases the number of stakeholders with an incentive to boost sales. Even one advocate of legalization admits there will be at least a 50-percent increase in use. This is a public health and safety catastrophe.
President Obama and some other intelligent Americans are eager to deny the overwhelming evidence of the harm illegal drugs do. Yet the harm caused by marijuana is clearer than ever, thanks to research conducted in recent years. Marijuana use is linked to diminished academic achievement, short-term memory loss, and impaired judgment. It impedes motor skills and diminishes impulse control, which contributes to violent behavior and weakened self-control in general. Marijuana use worsens, and perhaps triggers, serious mental illness—including depression, psychosis, and suicidal thoughts and actions. And marijuana users permanently increase their risk of addiction and perhaps the risk of addiction for their children, according to some of the latest research findings.
For years, the federal government has reported that marijuana is the most prominent drug causing individuals to need treatment for addiction. Today, it is the source of more addiction referrals than all other illegal drugs combined. Of the roughly 7 million individuals the federal government estimates need treatment (almost certainly an undercount), over 4 million have a primary or exclusive dependence on marijuana. Moreover, marijuana dependence among teens exceeds even their dependence on alcohol, long more easily available and widely used.
With the open sale of formerly illegal drugs, the number of users will grow. Some advocates expect legalization to destroy criminal markets by providing cheaper drugs, which should boost sales. If the legal market does not produce discounts, however, the black market will continue to operate in parallel with the new higher-end market—a kind of "fast-food" network persisting alongside the new "gourmet" outlets. Either way, the result is increased use and increased profits.
But communities are not helpless before this onslaught. Even when the criminal law has been compromised at the state level, resort to civil procedure might offer protection. Legal or illegal, marijuana injures users—researchers call it a "neurotoxin"—and those who distribute it for profit are liable for its known effects. Its production and distribution, after all, are still federal crimes. America's tort attorneys could respond by suing drug retailers for the harm done by their product to particular addicts, then collecting damages for the clients and legal fees for themselves.
This approach would not depend on the president or federal, state, or local government policy. It would require only a victim, a drug trafficker, a capable lawyer, and a sympathetic jury. Some law firms could afford to take such cases as a pro bono service to families. They already see for themselves that growing drug addiction makes their communities unattractive to legitimate businesses. Philanthropies concerned about the disadvantaged could also push this initiative forward.
