Hawthorne, Sophia Peabody
Sophia Peabody Hawthorne 1809-1871
(Born Sophia Amelia Peabody) American travel writer and diarist.
Sophia Hawthorne, generally remembered as the wife of the celebrated nineteenth-century American author Nathaniel Hawthorne, is regarded by modern commentators as an accomplished writer of travel sketches, descriptive letters, and journals. The only original work of Hawthorne's to be published during her lifetime was the journal she kept during her European travels, Notes in England and Italy (1869). Since that time, as her letters and diaries have become available to the general public, scholars have come to recognize Hawthorne's exceptional writing talents. Collections of her letters have been reproduced in literary journals, and contemporary scholars consider her compositions as irreplaceable primary sources for the study of Nathaniel Hawthorne's home life, periods of creativity, and personality, as well as valuing them for the firsthand view they provide of the Victorian era both in America and abroad.
Biographical Information
Hawthorne was born in Salem, Massachusetts, into a prominent family, the female members of which would rise to the forefront of the nineteenth-century movement for the equal rights of women. Her mother Eliza was a teacher and supported her children with the income she received from a series of schools run from her home. The elder of Sophia's two sisters, Elizabeth, was an active member of the New England Transcendentalists, a group that included such well-known and influential writers as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Margaret Fuller. Sophia's other older sister, Mary, was also a writer and wife of educational reformer Horace Mann. Hawthorne's place in this dynamic family was that of youngest daughter and invalid. From the age of nine she suffered violent, debilitating headaches that often confined her to her room for days at a time. She was nonetheless well educated at home by her mother, father, and sister Elizabeth. In her youth, Hawthorne learned to read Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, German, and Italian and studied a broad range of academic disciplines from natural science to religion. A woman of high intellect and learning, she was also a skilled painter. In 1833, Hawthorne accompanied her sister Mary to Cuba in the hopes that the subtropical climate would lessen the pain of her headaches. The sisters remained there for two and a half years, and during that time Sophia wrote long, descriptive letters to her family. These letters were passed from hand to hand among family, friends, and acquaintances and form the body of The Cuba Journal. Passages from these letters enchanted a Peabody family friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and he later used some of them as the basis for his own stories. Elizabeth had discovered that the young writer was a near neighbor and struck up an acquaintance with him. When he finally met Sophia, he found that she had illustrated one of his short stories in its magazine appearance and was immediately taken with this talented young woman. Their courtship lasted from 1837 until 1842 and included a voluminous exchange of letters. (Nathaniel Hawthorne burned his wife's letters to him in 1853, but Sophia preserved all of his correspondence.) According to the letters that Hawthorne wrote after her wedding, her marriage was blissful, and she dedicated herself to being the perfect wife to a gifted genius. The Hawthornes had three children, Una, Julian, and Rose, to whom Hawthorne was as passionately devoted as to her husband. During these years, Nathaniel supported the family through his position as surveyor of the Salem Custom House, a government appointment. He lost that job in 1849 after a change of political administration, and afterward Sophia helped support the family by hand-painting lampshades and fire screens while her husband wrote, in quick succession, The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables, and The Blithedale Romance in the early 1850s. In 1853, Nathaniel was appointed U.S. Consul to Liverpool, and the family moved to England. He resigned in 1857, and the family subsequently settled in Italy for a year before returning to England, where they lived for another year. While in Italy, Hawthorne, delighted to finally be in the presence of great artistic masterpieces, was at pains to introduce her husband to the glory of art. For the first time, she was able to see and study the originals of many works that she had copied and knew only from reproductions. She concluded that her own artistic skills were only mediocre, though her husband was inspired by her drawings to write The Marble Faun. The Hawthornes returned to America in 1860 and moved into the Wayside in Concord, Massachusetts, which they had purchased from Bronson Alcott before they left. The next four years were difficult for them. Una had been so ill in Rome that she had nearly died, and she experienced repeated relapses after returning home. The Civil War had begun, and in 1864, after a protracted period of poor health, Nathaniel died. Hawthorne was left in difficult financial straits and began a lengthy and frustrating correspondence with Nathaniel Hawthorne's publisher, James Fields, about the royalties due her from the money earned by her husband's books. Fields suggested that she could make some money by releasing his journals, and she at last agreed on the condition that she could edit them. In an effort to reduce her expenses, Hawthorne moved her family to Dresden, Germany, in 1868. While living in Dresden, she copied and edited her own journal, which was published as Notes in England and Italy in 1869. A year later, she and her daughters Una and Rose moved to London. Hawthorne died there of pneumonia in 1871.
Major Works
Hawthorne was a devoted diarist and letter-writer throughout her life. Her letters from Cuba, which sometimes extend to the length of twenty pages or more, describe the country and its people as well as documenting unfolding social and political events. These letters make up The Cuba Journal, kept as private correspondence until they were edited and published in 1985. In addition to compelling accounts of Caribbean plantation life, Spanish colonialism, and the vigorous mercantile and slave trades in Havana, Hawthorne's overseas correspondence contains samples of the writing that her husband undoubtedly read before they actually met, which later was used as inspiration for several of his short stories. Hawthorne's first and only publication during her lifetime, Notes in England and Italy, is a combination of letters she wrote in England, while her husband served as U.S. Consul to Liverpool, and extracts from journals she kept during the succeeding years when the family lived as tourists in Italy. The text offers reflections on the landscape and, especially in Italy, on renowned masterpieces of classical and Renaissance art. In the years after her husband's death, Hawthorne, edited Nathaniel's notebooks for publication. These include three of Nathaniel Hawthorne's journals: Passages from the American Notebooks (1868), Passages from the English Notebooks (1870), and Passages from the French and Italian Notebooks (1872). In editing these works, Hawthorne made extensive alterations according to her taste and the custom of the time, freely deleting many passages, including any mention of herself or her children, and emending numerous portions of the text she thought offensive to Victorian sensibility.
Critical Reception
Unwilling to make her writings public, Hawthorne made only one exception, publishing her Notes in England and Italy in direct response to mounting financial pressures in the late 1860s. Despite the vogue for travel literature at that time, Hawthorne remained one of only very few women who published book-length travel accounts during this period. The collection was well received, and eight editions were printed within thirteen years of its first appearance. At the time of her death, a family friend, Henry Bright, wrote to Hawthorne's son Julian, "No one has yet done justice to your mother. Of course, she was overshadowed by him,—but she was a singularly accomplished woman, with a great gift of expression … she was, too, an artist of no mean quality." In the contemporary era, critics have come to recognize Hawthorne's contributions as a travel-writer and diarist. Her editorial acumen, however, remains controversial. Regarding Hawthorne's editing of her husband's journals for publication, her substantial excisions and changes have generally been viewed with contempt by twentieth-century scholars. This opinion has since been tempered as commentators have come to understand that Hawthorne's editing style was common to the era.

Sullivan Alliance for Sustainable Development (SASD) has been providing consulting services to Sullivan County for the past year, but the cost of the contract for 2012, about $45,000, was not included in the tentative budget produced by county manager David Fanslau.
At a meeting at the government center on December 8, lawmaker Ron Hiatt asked why it was left out of the budget. Fanslau answered that the service provided was one that could be picked up by county staff, or that it is possible that the contract with SASD could be funded through grants. He said there was an existing grant that would pay for the contract through April 2012. He added, however, that he was not opposed to adding funding for SASD.
Lawmaker Jodi Goodman said she thought the services provided by SASD could be provided by the college. But she and the other lawmakers agreed to follow the will of the newly elected legislators who will be taking over in January. Four of them, Cindy Geiger, Cora Edwards, Ira Steingart and Kitty Vetter, indicated they wanted funding for SASD in the budget. Lawmaker Alan Sorensen suggested that the county include $25,000 for the contract, which was accepted by the other lawmakers.
Roadmap for climate plan
At a meeting later in the day, SASD, which has brought hundreds of thousands of grant dollars into the county for solar installations and other renewable energy projects, made a presentation regarding a "Roadmap to a County Action Plan."
According to the SASD website, the plan calls for the documentation of county government and community greenhouse gas emissions and then the preparation of "climate action projects, which will save energy, cut costs and reduce county greenhouse gas emissions." The plan also calls for focusing on work on each of the four sectors in the county: buildings, transportation, waste management/recycling and land/water use.
The program is possible now where it would not have been in the past because the county has purchased a license for a computer program developed by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, which makes it relatively easy to measure the greenhouse gas emissions of various facilities.
Stephen Stuart, an SASD technical advisor, said the group did not get "buy in" from the legislators, six of whom are leaving at the end of the month. He added that there were not enough of the newly elected legislators on hand to determine if they would vote to adopt the plan, but it will be presented to the new legislature in January 2012.
The budget hearing
In a separate meeting, a hearing was held for the tentative 2012 budget, which calls for about $6 million in spending in reserve funds, which is considered to be unsustainable by many. One of two people to speak at the hearing was county treasurer Ira Cohen, who said that the budget process as now practiced by the county needed to be changed.
He called for more public discussion about what was included in the budget, for instance, "how revenues figures are arrived at and so on; there isn't enough time spent discussing what's in the budget itself." He noted that all budgets going back to 2009 have been difficult. And he said, "This 2012 budget is going to have such a negative impact on this county and on this new group of legislators—it's not even fair to impose this on a new legislative body."
Earlier, Fanslau had said that direction from the legislature about the preparation of the 2012 budget was not to go beyond the 2% property tax increase imposed by Albany, not to reduce services and not to lay off any employees.
With those parameters, Cohen said, Fanslau's only option was to dip in heavily to reserves. Cohen noted that the legislators did not discuss making changes to programs that are not mandated by the state, such as mental health services, which lawmakers have the authority to cut should they choose to do so.

The new performing arts center in La Crosse will be named after Don and Roxanne Weber and their family.
La Crosse Performing Arts Center (LPAC) Board of Directors said the center will be named in honor of them for their generous support and commitment to the project. The name of the building will be the Weber Center for the Performing Arts.
Don Weber, founder and CEO of Logistics Health Incorporated (LHI), gave the initial land donation for the new performing arts center in 2010.
"Naming the building was a fitting tribute to the family that has supported the project since the beginning, and simply put, without their support, this project would not have happened," said LPAC President Chuck Roth. "Our community will enjoy this magnificent facility for generations to come thanks to the Webers and many other generous benefactors who believed in this unique collaboration."
The Weber Center for the Performing Arts is an $8 million facility with a 450-seat main theatre, a 100-seat black box theatre, classroom space and offices. It's a collaborative venue supporting the missions of La Crosse Community Theatre and Viterbo University.
On Sunday, January 20, there will be an open house of the new Weber Center. The event runs from 1-3 p.m. and includes tours of the facility.

Out of all the contenders we are the most incomplete. We lack an ideal 2 Guard for our team but Fields is doing the best he can. We dont have a true PG, while Shumpert can be that I like his role for him. I hope either Bill Walker turns into JR Smith with Defense cause that would be great, but do you notice he always pushes off and gets called for that offensive foul when he attacks the rim
I hope there's other people who weren't impressed by Rondo's play. His stats don't indicate how average he really is.

What r you talking about? Rondo? Average?
He's one of the best, most aware passers and able facilitators in the NBA. That is not able to be disputed. And when you play PG, that makes you extremely good. He is also one of the best rebounders, ball thiefs, and defenders at his position.
That he has had quality players around him isn't a neg, either -- it's just showed that he is able to work with good players and stars and lead them to the promised land as distributor.
Don't get me wrong, he did have some good and impressive plays, and average maybe exaggerating, but this is a guy they wanted to trade, for another PG. If he was anywhere near elite the Celtics wouldn't be worrying about their future as much and Ray Allen wouldn't be taking wrongful shots at David West for choosing the Pacers over them.

This was such a great game. My hands were literally shaking by the end of it. Rondo is top 3 PG in the game. No one has a more acute awareness of everything that is going on on the court.
Yeah we could have guarded him better; but, make no mistake, he does this to 95% of the people who guard him.
Damn had to avoid the forums for an entire day so I could watch the game without knowing the result! What a nailbiter!
We definitely miss a PG but there was plenty of positives to take from the game. Was played pretty smartly down the stretch even by notorious "give the game away" D'Antoni!
Lol at KG getting his panties in a twist after the game what a sweet victory
Why is there such a delay in Knicks first and second game?
Seems like boston is playing 4 before we play 2?
Because they're staying not that far from Boston and we're heading to the West?
If we want to say that Rondo is average, we have to make him look average first.
So far, we've been making him look better than John Stockton, so saying that he's average is a gross underestimation of his performance against us.
I hate Rondo. I seriously do. The guy is a punk who plays dirty as hell (so do the rest of the Celtics, like Kevin "I trip and choke people who are almost a foot shorter than I am" Garnett) but we've got no grounds calling him average if we're letting him score 30+ points a game against us.
It's inexcusable. Rondo doesn't have much of a jump shot and he can't hit free throws. How in the world are we letting this guy look so good? It'd be one thing if he kept driving to the basket but my goodness he was dropping jumpers on us and that's just sad for a player who we know has no skills in that category. That means mean that we're leaving him WIDE open, and if you watch the footage, we basically let him do whatever he wanted.
Again, you don't have a so-called "superstar" on your team then try to trade him for another superstar just because you think he's better. There's a WIDE margin between Chris Paul and Rondo. Rondo is a good passer, Chris Paul is a great PG period.

I went to this game and enjoyed every minute of it.
Before the game started, I got 4 signatures from Knicks Legends players; Clyde Frazier and Earl Monroe....
I really don't know what the names of the other 2 Legends are, anyone who can help me out?
Thnx in advance!

Intel Corp. has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire McAfee for approximately $7.68 billion. Both boards of directors have unanimously approved the deal, which is expected to close after McAfee shareholder approval, regulatory clearances and other customary conditions specified in the agreement.
"In the past, energy-efficient performance and connectivity have defined computing requirements. Looking forward, security will join those as a third pillar of what people demand from all computing experiences," said Paul Otellini, Intel president and chief executive officer.
The acquisition reflects that security is now a fundamental component of online computing. Today's security approach does not fully address the billions of new Internet-ready devices connecting, including mobile and wireless devices, TVs, cars, medical devices and ATM machines as well as the accompanying surge in cyber threats. Providing protection to a diverse online world requires a fundamentally new approach involving software, hardware and services.
"The addition of McAfee products and technologies into the Intel computing portfolio brings us incredibly talented people with a track record of delivering security innovations, products and services that the industry and consumers trust to make connecting to the Internet safer and more secure," added Mr. Otellini.
McAfee, which has enjoyed double-digit, year-over-year growth and nearly 80% gross margins last year, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel, reporting into Intel's software and services group. The group is managed by Renée James, Intel senior vice president, and general manager of the group.
"Hardware-enhanced security will lead to breakthroughs in effectively countering the increasingly sophisticated threats of today and tomorrow. McAfee is the next step in this strategy, and the right security partner for us," said Ms. James.
McAfee, based in Santa Clara and founded in 1987, is the world's largest dedicated security technology company with approximately $2 billion in revenue in 2009. With approximately 6100 employees, McAfee's products and technologies deliver secure solutions and services to consumers, enterprises and governments around the world and include a strong sales force that works with a variety of customers.
The company has a suite of software-related security solutions, including end-point and networking products and services that are focused on helping to ensure Internet-connected devices and networks are protected from malicious content, phony requests and unsecured transactions and communications. Among others, products include McAfee Total Protection, McAfee Antivirus, McAfee Internet Security, McAfee Firewall, McAfee IPS as well as an expanding line of products targeting mobile devices such as smartphones.

Daylily: Indoor or Direct Sow or Potted Plant Perennial
How to Plant
Planting Bare Root Plants:
- Choose a location in full sun with a rich, well-drained soil. Daylilies can adapt to a poor, clay or sandy soil but perform best in an organic soil that drains well. They can tolerate light shade, but will not bloom as prolifically.
- Prepare the bed by turning the soil under to a depth of 6-12 inches removing any debris, and lightly raking as level as possible.
- The addition of organic matter (leaf mold, compost, well-rotted manure) benefits all gardens and is essential in recently constructed neighborhoods.
- Dig a hole deep and wide enough to accommodate the bare root.
- Make a mound in the planting hole to hold the roots and crown at ground level. Spread the roots over the mound.
- Fill in the planting hole, firmly tamping the soil to get rid of air pockets.
- Water well to fully saturate the roots and soil.
How to Grow
- Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their germination.
- Mulches also help retain soil moisture and maintain even soil temperatures. For perennials, an organic mulch of aged bark or shredded leaves lends a natural look to the bed and will improve the soil as it breaks down in time. Always keep mulches off a plant's stems to prevent possible rot.
- Careful watering is essential in getting perennials off to a good start. Water thoroughly at least once a week to help new roots grow down deeply. Soil should be damp at about 1 inch below the soil surface. You can check this by sticking your finger in the soil. Water early in the morning to give all leaves enough time to dry. One inch of rain or watering per week is recommended for most perennial plants. You can check to see if you need to add water by using a rain gauge.
- Until plants become established, some protection from extreme winds and direct, hot sunlight may be necessary. Good air movement is also important.
- After new growth appears, a light fertilizer may be applied. Keep granular fertilizers away from the plant crown and foliage to avoid burn injury. Use low rates of a slow release fertilizer, as higher rates may encourage root rots.
- Repeat bloomers flower more continuously if you remove the spent flowers.
- Remove and discard foliage after a hard frost in fall.
- In colder regions, apply another layer of mulch (1-2 inches) after the ground freezes in fall. Evergreen boughs (from Christmas trees) provide additional protection. Remove this mulch in the spring.
- Divide plants in fall or spring every 3-6 years to propagate. Make sure divisions have at least three growing points for the best bloom.
Growing Tips
- Daylilies are among the easiest, lowest-maintenance perennials you can grow.
- All types may be cut for fresh flowers, but remember that each flower lasts for only one day.
- Some varieties are sweetly fragrant.

Pine wilt disease. (Courtesy P. Donald, copyright-free)
Pine wilt is a dramatic disease because it usually kills affected trees within a few weeks to a few months (Figure 1). The pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) that causes death of the trees is microscopic. Most plant-parasitic nematodes are associated with plant roots, but the pine wood nematode is found in aboveground parts of the tree. Nematodes kill the tree by feeding on the cells surrounding the resin ducts. This causes resin to leak into the tracheids, resulting in "tracheid cavitation" or air pockets in the water transport system. Just as a person cannot drink through a straw with holes in it, the tree cannot move water upward and consequently wilts and dies. Pine sawyer beetles (Monochamus spp.) vector the nematodes. The nematodes hitch a ride with the beetles and thus move from tree to tree as the beetles feed on the young shoots of pine trees.
Scots pine is the most susceptible tree species, although other conifers can be affected, such as Austrian, jack, mugo, and red pines and, less commonly, white pines. Tree death usually progresses from the top of the tree downward, distinguishing this disease from needle diseases. Needle discoloration is usually the first symptom. Needles change from their normal color to a grayish green color and finally a tan to brown color. Needles do not fall from the branch, which is another diagnostic feature. Sometimes, a branch will die, and no disease progression will be seen until the next growing season.
The pine wood nematode was found widely distributed in the United States after its rediscovery in a dying tree in 1979. In the United States, the highest incidence of the disease is currently in the Midwest. Worldwide, the problem is epidemic in Japan and other parts of Asia. In all areas, the disease is most serious on stressed coniferous trees not native to North America. Age of the tree also influences susceptibility. There is an increased risk of developing pine wilt when trees are greater than 10 years of age.
Diagnosis requires observation and identification of the nematode, which can be obtained from cross-sections of symptomatic limbs greater than 2.5 cm (1 in.) in diameter soaked in water. The greatest success in finding the nematode involves soaking a trunk section in water for 24 to 48 hours. One can also sample wood by drilling into branches or the trunk with a large diameter (1-2.5 cm/ 0.5-1 in.) auger drill bit and soaking the resulting wood chips in water. Nematodes may not be well distributed throughout the tree, so it may be necessary to test several samples from different areas of the tree to find the nematodes. Microscopic examination of the liquid is needed to identify the nematode.
Several different bacterial-and fungal-feeding nematodes can be found in the dead or dying wood. Removal of bark before the samples are soaked can reduce the number of other nematodes. There can be several species of Bursaphelenchus present, but not all species are causal agents of pine wilt.
Pine wilt results from interactions among the pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) (Figures 2 and 3), the pine sawyer beetle (Monochamus spp.) (Figure 4), a host coniferous tree, and sometimes blue-stain fungi (Ceratocystis spp., Ophiostoma piceae) (Figures 5 and 6).
The pinewood nematode is a microscopic unsegmented worm about 1 mm in length. It is one of at least 49 described species of Bursaphelenchus, most of which have a symbiotic relationship with insects. Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is believed to be native to the United States. It was documented causing damage to trees in 1934 and was rediscovered in 1979. The nematode feeds on fungi within the wood and on living plant cells surrounding the resin canals of pines.
Spread of the nematode from tree to tree occurs via the pine sawyer beetle (Monochamus spp.). The nematodes are carried in the tracheae of the beetle's respiratory system (Figure 7). When the beetles feed on branches of healthy trees, the nematodes emerge and enter the trees through feeding wounds created by the beetles. The adult sawyers are attracted to recently dead or dying trees for oviposition (egg laying). Trees with bark are necessary for oviposition and larval development. The beetle larvae feed several weeks in the cambial wood and then bore into the sapwood.
Once introduced into a tree seedling, the nematodes migrate mainly via the cortical resin canals in branches. Cortical tissue is not present in stem tissues of trees over four years of age, and therefore it is not likely that the nematodes spread within mature trees via cortical tissue. It has been suggested that spread within mature trees occurs through xylem resin canals. The nematodes migrate downward to the tree bole without interruption by the periderm (cork or bark). The nematodes can destroy surrounding tissue and invade cortical tissue until they invade the xylem resin canals and the trunk. When not feeding on the plant cells, the nematodes feed on fungi present within the wood. Bark beetles carry blue-stain fungi to trees, and these fungi, along with other wood-inhabiting fungi, colonize the tree after it is weakened or killed. Research indicates that there is an increase in nematode reproduction when a blue-stain fungus is the food source for the nematode.
The plant-feeding phase of the nematode, B. xylophilus, is usually characterized by rapid reproduction of the nematode and tree death. Laboratory studies show that reproduction can progress from egg to adult in four to five days in the laboratory, feeding on fungi at 25°C (77°F); however, generation time is temperature-dependent. Measurements on pine resin canal tissue are much harder and thus direct comparisons cannot be made here. The nematode goes through four juvenile stages punctuated by molts before becoming an adult. This pathway for the nematode life cycle can continue as long as conditions are favorable for growth and reproduction.
Tree death or scarce food supply results in the nematode switching to a dispersal mode. There is much closer physiological relationship in this mode between the nematode and the insect. The nematode will only molt into fourth-stage dispersal juveniles in the presence of pine sawyer beetles, and the pine sawyer beetle only vectors fourth stage larvae. The dispersal juveniles aggregate around the pupal chambers of the beetles, and migrate toward the insect tracheae located in the spiracles. The fourth stage dispersal juveniles can survive for a year. Laboratory research has shown that removal of the insect pupa from its chamber will trigger increased nematode reproduction. The adult beetles chew their way through the sapwood and exit the tree. Carrying the nematodes, adult beetles fly to healthy trees to feed or to dead or dying trees to lay eggs.
Figure 8
Several months of hot, dry weather are necessary for pine wilt development and spread. Nematode dispersion and multiplication are key factors in disease symptoms and tree death. The pine wood nematode can be a primary or secondary invader of plant tissue (Figure 8); therefore, its presence in dead or dying wood is not proof that the nematode killed the tree.
Adult beetles feed on bark of young branches (Figure 9) and the nematodes present in the insect spiracles (Figure 7) enter the tree through feeding wounds caused by the beetle. Inside a susceptible tree, the nematodes develop into adults and migrate throughout the tree, feeding on parenchyma cells of the ray canals, and reproduce. When conditions favor the nematode (susceptible host, optimal temperature, virulent nematode isolate), internal host responses can be seen within one to three days after infection. Cell death, increased host respiration, decreased water conductivity, increased ethylene production, and increased phytotoxic compounds are found. Trees infected in this manner usually wilt and die rapidly. The nematode is the primary pathogen in this case, and the result is pine wilt. It has been theorized that in susceptible trees the rapid spread of the nematode throughout the tree triggers hypersensitive reactions from the tree in cells behind the nematode. The combination of the nematode movement, feeding, and exudation stimulate the tree to essentially kill itself.
The nematodes can also be a secondary invader of dead or dying trees when they enter the wood when the sawyer beetle is ovipositing (Figure 10). In these cases, the cause of the tree death may not be the pine wood nematode or pine wilt. There is evidence that the nematode exists naturally independent of the disease. These populations of the nematode serve as reservoirs of the nematode for later dispersal by sawyer beetles.
In the midwestern United States, the disease has the greatest impact on homeowners and planted natural areas, wherever susceptible, non-native, poorly adapted pines are planted. Large plantings of Scots pine as windbreaks and landscape planting occurred especially in the Midwest, where this tree species was considered well adapted to the environmental conditions. Stands of single tree species (monocultures) provide an excellent breeding site for the insects and associated nematodes. Because the trees become more susceptible after they reach 10 years of age, the affected and dying trees are well-established trees and their removal has a big impact on the landscape.
Scots pine is the tree of choice for Christmas tree plantations in the Midwest. Most Christmas trees are harvested before they reach 10 years of age unless they are kept for display in large commercial buildings. The biggest threats to existing Scots pines are abandoned Christmas tree plantations, homeowners who do not remove the dead trees, and public areas where dead trees are left standing.
Homeowners should be discouraged from planting susceptible tree species, including Scots pine, Japanese red, or black pine as ornamentals. Within these susceptible tree species, there is no genetic resistance to pine wilt disease although when trees die, not all die at the same time. At this time it is not known whether the longevity of certain trees in a grouping, such as a windbreak, is due to a form of resistance, avoidance, or other factors. It is not uncommon, however, to see an entire windbreak die from pine wilt disease over the course of ten years. This would suggest that resistance was not present, but that for whatever reasons the beetles feed differentially on the trees in the windbreak.
Justin Evertson from the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum has suggested the following as better Midwestern-adapted evergreen tree species [the "(N)" indicates trees native to the Midwest or Great Plains]: balsam fir, concolor fir, nikko fir, Korean fir, Chinese juniper, Rocky Mountain juniper, eastern red cedar (N), Norway spruce, white spruce, Serbian spruce, Colorado spruce, Chinese white pine, jack pine, lacebark pine, Swiss stone pine, pinyon pine, lodgepole pine, limber pine (N), Bosnian pine, Korean pine, mugo pine, Japanese white pine, ponderosa pine (N), Balkan pine, Virginia pine, Douglas fir, Japanese yew, anglojap yew, eastern arborvitae, western arborvitae, and eastern hemlock. There are thus many tree species homeowners can plant that will not succumb to pine wilt.
Pine wilt management at the current time in the United States is best achieved by removal of symptomatic trees. Adult beetles are attracted to recently dead, dying, or freshly cut wood (Figure 11). The beetles fly from dying trees to healthy trees in the spring until the fall and therefore spread of the disease from tree to tree does not occur during the winter months. Depending on the temperature from spring through fall, the beetle can have several generations during a growing season, so trees can be infected anytime until the onset of winter. Dead trees should be burned or buried as soon as possible. It is important that the stumps also be removed or buried, as the stumps are attractive to the sawyer beetles.
In areas of the world where susceptible trees are common and the disease is not present (Europe and Scandinavia), avoidance is the primary means of control. There are strict quarantines on import of wood into these countries. Wood can be heat-treated or debarked before export, in some cases (Figure 12).
In the United States, nematicide and insecticide treatment of trees is impractical, very expensive, and ineffective. In Japan, where the disease is much more devastating, insecticide and nematicide treatments, biological control, and induced resistance through use of less virulent strains of Bursaphelenchus have been investigated.
The disease has a different impact on U.S. exporters of wood products than on homeowners. Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is a quarantine organism in the European Union. Because of the number of susceptible pine hosts and suitable insect vectors in Europe, and the devastating impact the disease has had on native forests in Japan, China, Korea, and Taiwan, unseasoned wood from areas where the pine wood nematode was known to occur was banned in the European Union and China. In Japan, survival of pine trees in a stand can be less than 50% due to pine wilt. An exact measure of the economic impact of the ban on lumber exports from the U.S. and Canada cannot be directly made because of other variables, such as the changes in the Japanese economy and other market factors.
Canadian and U.S. exporters are working with researchers to develop wood treatments that kill the nematodes present in wood chips or other unseasoned lumber (Figure 12). Currently, heat-treating unseasoned lumber to a core temperature of 56°C (133°F) for 30 minutes is sufficient to satisfy the European Union that wood products are free of living nematodes or their beetle vectors. Researchers are studying the risk of pest introduction based on visual inspection of lumber.

Priority Health awards Family Health Center with top quality award
Posted on July 17, 2014
The faculty and staff members at the GVSU Family Health Center were recognized for exceptional patient care by Priority Health on July 17.
The Priority Health Quality Award recognizes practices that are among the top primary care practice groups within the provider network. It was the first time the health center received this award.
Cynthia McCurren, dean of the Kirkhof College of Nursing, said the health center fits an important part of the college's strategic vision. "It's an excellent example of our commitment to excellence in practice and community engagement, and a site for clinical instruction for nursing and other disciplines," McCurren said.
Ann Sheehan, assistant dean for practice, said the criteria for earning a Quality Award includes achieving high scores for offering preventative care, control of chronic diseases and patient satisfaction.
The GVSU Family Health Center is at 72 Sheldon Blvd. SE in Grand Rapids. More information about its hours and services are online, click here.


text: Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) is a common heart valve abnormality that affects up to 5 percent of the U.S. population. The mitral valve controls the flow of blood from the lungs to the main pumping chamber of the heart. MVP results from a degeneration of valve structure that leads to a regurgitation of blood backwards that can result in heart enlargement and weakening, as well as fatigue and shortness of breath.

Massachusetts residents are reacting with outrage Wednesday after "Rolling Stone" magazine decided to put one of the alleged Boston Marathon bombing suspects on the cover.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been given the coveted spot on the cover of the August issue of Rolling Stone.
View: Minute-by-minute - How bombers attacked
Inside the issue, "Rolling Stone" uncovers new details about the night Tsarnaev was captured. As he was hiding in the boat in Watertown, police negotiators told him his old wrestling coach had made a public plea for him to surrender. Police said reminding him of his old life was what convinced him to surrender.
The magazine reports Dzhokhar once hinted that the thought the 9/11 attacks could be justified. He allegedly told a friend who wanted to meet older brother, Tamerlan, "No, You don't want to meet him."
Rolling Stone claims Tamerlan Tsarnaev once told his mother he felt like there were "two people" inside him. She believed religion would cure him.
Some local residents vowed to stop reading the magazine.
"That's so strange. You do something horrible and there's fame?" one resident said.
"I was there that day, and my son still talks about the horror the two bombs, the blood. All I want is justice," another resident said.

Why are you injecting estrogen?
I wanted to ask since you guys seem to know this stuff pretty well. It's a little off topic considering the forum is for bodybuilders but I didn't know where else to ask that could provide me an objective and thorough answer.
I started intramuscular estradiol valerate injections last week. But, they seem ineffective. Either it was injected too high up in the buttocks area, close to hip OR wrongly formulated. The concentration was 20 mg of estradiol valerate for 1 ml of sesame oil. Nothing else was added. I was told that maybe 1 ml of sesame oil will not dissolve such a high concentration of estradiol valerate but would dissolve 10 mg. Could the compounding pharmacy have deliberately put very little to no estrogen? or just that they don't know how to compound it well.
hopefully, you can help me in this matter.
Why are you injecting estrogen?

Thanks got checking profile - I'm on my phone. Thread is ripe for trolling.

Yes. I'm a female and no, I'm not a troll. No worries, guys. I just posted here since you guys seem to know this stuff pretty extensively. That's all. I need your help in this matter.
How long have you been using it? Have you had blood tests?
TheCaptn' is not a registered proctologist. His post are for his amusement only. Please seek proper medical advice if symptoms persist.
Just started last Thursday, took pills before. I can kind of tell it's not working but I'm not 100% sure, could be placebo. I was already worried with the change and all, not trusting the pharmacy to begin with so that could have affected me as well (i.e. stress factor). Injections should be more effective and levels peak on days 1-2. I had blood tests today, will get results in 3 days.
Looks like standard concentrations are 10, 20 and 40mg/ml.
They shouldn't have had any trouble with it as long as they knew what they were doing and had a good recipe.
From what I gathered, valerate is actually quite a short ester, 4 links long compared to say, enanthate, undecylate or cypionate. It quickly escapes oil from where it is dissolved in and that is why it must be injected every 7-10 days after which levels really dip. Peak levels are reached on days 1-2 and after 7-8 days, levels start to become quite low.
Contraception. 1980 Apr;21(4):415-24.
"Peak plasma levels of estradiol and estrone were reached in approximately 4 days following the administration of estradiol cypionate and in a significantly shorter time (approximately 2 days) following the administration of both the valerate and benzoate. One hour after the injection of the esters, the average percentage increases in plasmaestradiol and estrone levels were significantly higher in the valerate and benzoate groups compared to the subjects receivingestradiol cypionate. The average duration of elevated estrogen levels was shortest in the benzoate group (4-5 days) followed by the valerate (7-8 days) and cypionate (approximately 11 days). In none of the subjects studied were elevated estradiol and/or estrone levels encountered 2 weeks after the injection of the various esters."

After over one and a half years of have been trying to penetrate the market of home-entertainment computers with Viiv-branded devices, Intel Corp. is giving up and will focus on promotion of Intel Core trademark instead. According to media reports, the business PC oriented vPro brand-name will no longer see a lot of publicity.
"We decided that it would be better to have fewer brands and make those as strong as we can – Centrino for mobility and Core basically for all the other computing segments we're addressing in the client space," said Vince Thomas, brand strategist in Intel's corporate group, in an interview with Cnet News.com web-site.
Analysts believe that weak perception of Intel Viiv and Intel vPro among targeted audiences is a consequence of Intel's failure to determine exact benefits that the appropriate platforms offer. If Intel Centrino is associated with long battery life and wireless Internet, whereas Intel Core 2 is known for high performance, then Viiv and vPro have never been considered as ultimate entertainment or advanced business PCs.
In addition to relatively weak branding campaign for Viiv and vPro, computer makers were generally reluctant to employ the new brand-names, as all of the PC suppliers nowadays have their own product lineups aimed at different types of customers and, for example, Dell would not like "Intel Viiv" to prevail over "Dell Dimension".
Even though Viiv and vPro will remain on the Intel Core logotype to differentiate the designation of the appropriate platforms, they will be in the form of "Intel Core 2 with Viiv" starting from early 2008. Therefore, Intel's branding efforts will again be focused around the brand-name of a microprocessor, which means that in certain cases the company will not emphasize the number of processing engines of its chips as it does now by adding "Duo" or "Quad" suffixes to its Intel Core 2 trademark.

Still image from April 3, 2013 video footage shows damage at the site of an attack by Taliban suicide bombers at a courtroom in Farah province in western Afghanistan.
At least 54 people were killed and 90 others wounded Wednesday in an insurgent attack on a government compound in western Afghanistan, where Taliban fighters were facing trial, local officials said.
Nine insurgents with explosives strapped to their bodies stormed the compound in Farah province, bordering Iran, Reuters reported. Explosions were followed by protracted gun battles.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
Among the dead were 35 civilians, 10 members of the Afghan Security Forces and the nine suicide attackers, Mohammad Akram Khpalwalk, governor of Farah province, said.
More than 50 people were killed in a militant attack on a government compound in western Afghanistan. NBCNews.com's Ron Allen reports.
Most of the 90 to 95 people wounded were civilians, said Dr. Abdul Jabaar, the head of the hospital where victims were taken.
The attack was the deadliest single assault in the country since 2011.
President Hamid Karzai called the attack "genocide" against fellow Afghans and said a delegation would be sent Thursday to begin an investigation and to assist victims and their families.
"Once again, terrorists shed the blood of our innocent people who went as individuals to local institutions for their work in Farah province," Karzai said in a statement.
He pledged that the perpetrators would be accountable to the nation for the killings.
NBC News' Jamieson Lesko and Akbar Shinwari contributed to this report.

Alan Pflueger was released on bond. Trial in the case is set for December.
His father pleaded not guilty on Monday. James Pflueger also faces manslaughter charges for the Koloko Dam disaster, which killed seven people.

The Washinkai Handbook
The handbook of Washinkai Karate and the British Traditional Karate Association
de Paul Hacker
Acerca del libro
The handbook for Washinkai Karate and the British Traditional Karate Association.
For over 40 years Sensei Chris Thompson has been at the forefront of Karate in England.
Chris Thompson began studying karate in 1969 and remembers the date well as during his first class Neil Armstrong was orbiting and about to land on the moon. Sensei Thompson is the Chairman of the BTKA.
During his early years he trained with many of the first Japanese Wado Ryu instructors to come to England and Europe. Instructors such as Suzuki, Fuji, Maeda and later Kiturma, Kobayashi and Shinohara all played a part in his early karate training.
A successful competitor in kata and kumite it wasn't long before Chris Thompson was teaching and in 1978 formed the Washinkai Karate Organisation.
Throughout the 1980s, Chris Thompson was the Southern representative of the British Karate Association (BKA) helping to maintain the high standard from Associations applying for membership of that organisation.
Now Chris is elected Chairman and Chief Instructor of the British Traditional Karate Association, an organisation that has had and continues to have many competition successes in Kata and Kumite, both nationally and internationally.
Born out of his experiences home and abroad, training with other Japanese instructors from the four major schools of karate, Shotokan, Goju Kai, Shito Ryu and Wado Ryu, the Washinkai style is an eclectic style with firm Wado roots.
A successful author and star of the video series "Essentials of Karate" Chris Thompson holds the rank of 8th Dan and held the post of Technical Director for English Karate for many years.

Spring Awakenings
The birdsongs and pollen currently filling the air in our nation's capitol have led to the unleashing of a slightly more nefarious force as well. That's right, as spring slowly turns into summer Dick Cheney has emerged from his sarcophagus (conveniently designed to look like a man-sized safe) and taken to the airwaves. His reason? Newly minted President Obama is making the US less safe.
Now, I love Dick, Cheney that is, as much as the next guy but this is a little out of control. Guy won't talk to anyone for 8 years, even goes so far as to have his residence removed from Google maps, but now he's showing up on every news program between here and Utah. What gives?
Listening to Cheney's arguments is like a less funny version of this:
But, on the bright side, he gets it about as right as the Cleveland announcer on Friday night who called Sizemore's shot gone. Oops.
8 Comments
He was filling in! Give him a break! Will you ever let it die? It's very upsetting.
Curtis Granderson is a great player and that was a heck of a grab.
"Birdsongs"? What kind of self-respecting man uses the word "birdsongs"?
Ah yes, lots of nefariousness around these days. Jeff added a special pick to my blog just for you as a dark horse pick in the ongoing debate of hot female analysts.
Cheney needs to spend more time watching ball games. It would put him in a better mood. Maybe.
Jane — not if he was watching Yankees games. He might kill himself if that were the case.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the comment! Indeed it is a beautiful ballpark. One of the few things Disney did right when they owned the Angels! I appreciate the welcome. Remember, girl baseball fans rock!

What makes us tick? Human behavior is ambiguous and complex and Psychology seeks to understand it.
Our faculty members are actively researching current issues such as workplace diversity, the influence of gender on career trajectories, and the psychological benefits of exercise. And we encourage undergraduates to get involved. Each year a large number of our majors present papers at professional conferences, and many students co-author articles in professional journals.
Department-sponsored internships also allow students to engage with the community around them while gaining clinical experience. Placement options include Kids on Campus, St. Clare School, The Abuse Prevention Center, and Momentum for Health.
Studying psychology at Santa Clara is more than just sitting in class. You'll have the opportunity to apply that knowledge to the world around you while still in school.

John Courtneidge 0795 099 6418 Big Shout out! We need to publicise the 'Can Banks Be Made Socially Useful?' event on Monday October 29th, 6 to 8.30pm at the Friends' Meeting House - it is a big venue and we want to spread the word as widely as possible. The event is led by Andy Haldane from the Bank of England. Booking & information www.sociallyusefulbanking.org Click on the bar for 'Reserve your seat' & follow the registration instructions. 'Can Banks Be Made Socially Useful?' with Andy Haldane from the Bank of England Monday October 29th, 6 to 8.30pm at the Friends' Meeting House, 173-177 Euston Rd. NW1 2BJ. Facilitated by Lisa Pollack FT Alphaville blog, with Dominic Lindley (Which) and Duncan Wheldon (TUC) Dave asked me to encourage all EWG members to reserve seats & promote it. Filling the remaining 900 seats will be easy if they do; we'll be discredited if we don't - but also seems reasonable to give the opportunity here before we become oversubscribed. Nevertheless suggestions of organisations to contact & offers to distribute flyers at likely venues very much appreciated & maybe crucial as part of the whole process.

Road Use Agreement unveiled
What is an Equivalent Single Axel Load or ESAL? It's the basic method that may be used by some Sullivan County towns to determine if truck traffic related to a given project, whether it is gas drilling or construction of a mall, is likely to damage town roads, and if so, what the town should collect from the responsible party to repair those damages.
Representatives from the Sullivan County towns of Lumberland, Highland, Tusten, Cochecton, Delaware, Callicoon and Rockland have been working in the Multi-Municipal Task Force to create a road-use-agreement for about three years.
On June 30, the proposal was unveiled for the public at Sullivan West High School, and a public hearing followed. Steve Messmer, the project manager with Delta Engineering, which created the proposed agreement and drafted the Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (DGEIS) that accompanied it, explained that as part of the agreement towns would determine if trucks related to any particular project threatened local roads and the community by measuring weight, the volume of trips, as well as the make up and expected life of the roadway. The towns would also assess such things as the safety of the proposed truck routes and whether they passed by school buildings, etc.
During the public hearing, several residents said they were concerned that local contractors would be unduly burdened with new paperwork or fees if the towns adopt the road use agreement. Questions were not answered during the hearing but afterward, Messmer told The River Reporter that local loggers, farmers and contractors would not produce nearly enough ESALS to be caught in the "fishnet" that had been created to snare only projects with very numerous truck trips.
During the public hearing, several residents found fault with the DGEIS. Bruce Ferguson of Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy said that he was troubled that the actual number of truck trips per well, which could run up to 4,000, had not been mentioned. Larysa Dyrszka, a retired pediatrician and member of the group Sullivan Area Citizens for Responsible Energy Development, said that the possible impacts of such truck traffic on health should have been part of the DGEIS. Others made related comments about the possible impacts various aspects of gas drilling.
After the hearing, Messmer said that his company has worked on many road use agreements that were triggered by other industries, such as large wind farms or shopping mall construction. He said gas drilling was a peripheral issue to the road use agreement, which would cover any activity that produced a high enough number of ESALs.
On a related note, Andy Boyar, supervisor of the Town of Highland, said, "Support of a measure regulating a heavy industrial use is not to be taken as an endorsement of the underlying heavy industrial use."
Another matter of concern brought up several people was that the written comment period for the DGEIS runs only until July 18, which is not enough time to examine the 500-page document created by Delta.
Additionally, seven county grass roots organizations have written to the task force asking them to withhold approval of the road use agreement until the entirety of new state rules regarding gas drilling are unveiled at the end of July.
Residents can submit comments to Mark Sweeney, Whiteman, Osterman & Hanna LLP, 0ne Commerce Plaza, Albany, NY, 12260. The email is firstname.lastname@example.com and the phone number is 518/487-7600.
