Hi all, For our October lispvan meeting, Doug Williams will be presenting the 3rd component of the "Knowledge-based Simulation Environment" that he has been developing in PLT Scheme over the past few years. I saw him present the first of these components (the Science Collection) in Colorado back in 2004 (there is a movie and pdf available of that presentation). He presented the second component (the Simulation Collection) here in Vancouver at the February, 2006 lispvan meeting (the movie, presentation and related material are available as links from my summary of the meeting). So, the Inference Collection is the last component of Doug's "Knowledge-based Simulation Environment" and is the one that I personally will be the most interested in seeing him present! Doug will also conduct a mini-workshop after the presentation which will be a more hands-on and interactive means of experiencing the code. So, be sure to bring your laptops! Here's the "official" meeting notice: Topic: PLT Scheme Inference Collection Presenter: Doug Williams Date: Thursday, October 26, 2006 Time: 7pm - 10pm (or whenever) Venue: Think!, 4512 West 10th Ave., Vancouver (see map) Summary: I am attempting to recreate - and extend - in PLT Scheme the knowledge-based simulation environment I had originally developed in Symbolics Common Lisp. It consists of three PLT Scheme collections: 1. Science Collection: The PLT Scheme Science Collection is a port of portions of the GNU Scientific Library (GSL). It provides a foundation of numerical routines for implementing the other collections as well as providing data analysis functions. Version 2.0 included ordinary differential equation solvers. The current version available from the PLaneT Package Repository is Version 2.4. 2. Simulation Collection: The PLT Scheme Simulation Collection provides a simulation engine for combined discrete and continuous simulation models. The discrete simulation capability is based on a process interaction model. The current version available from the PLaneT Package Repository is Version 2.0. 3. Inference Collection: The PLT Scheme Inference Collection provides an efficient rule-based inference engine that supports both data-driven (forward chaining) and goal-directed (backward chaining) inferencing. The current version available from the PLaneT Package Repository is Version 1.2. In this talk, I will present the PLT Scheme Inference Collection. I will discuss the functionality provided by the inference collection with examples and demonstrations throughout the presentation. An informal, hands-on workshop will be included where we will go through installing and running PLT Scheme and the science, simulation, and inference collections. We will go through developing and running inference systems with the inference collection. So, bring your laptops. The topics are: * Introduction * PLT Scheme Inference Collection o Inference Environments (Basic) o Inference Control o Assertions o Rule Sets o Rules + Data-Driven (Forward Chaining) + Goal-Driven (Backward Chaining) + Bi-Directional Chaining + Pattern Clauses # Binding Clauses # Existential Clauses + Patterns # List Patterns # Association List Patterns # Vector Patterns # Structure Patterns # Object Patterns o Rule Networks o Conflict Resolution Strategies o Inference Environment (Hierarchical) o Assumption Processing * Future Plans * Questions and Answers * Workshop This should be another terrific session! I plan to record the talk and make it available on my blog, barring technical difficulties (knocks on wood, rubs rabbit foot, crosses fingers), for people who are not in the Vancouver area. For those of you who want to have an advance look at the Inference Collection (so that you can throw tough questions at Doug ;-) and kibbitz intelligently during the meeting), you can download and run it by doing the following: 1. Download & install DrScheme from here 2. Run DrScheme and change the Language level to" PLT/Pretty Big" by selecting the menu option "Language/Choose Language..." 3. Download & install the Science, Simulation, and Inference collections from the PLaneT Package Repository by entering the following statement in the DrScheme REPL: (require (planet "simulation-with-graphics.ss" ("williams" "simulation.plt" 1 0))) (require (planet "inference.ss" ("williams" "inference.plt" 1 2))) 4. Run the example programs in the examples directory (on my Mac, they were installed in "~/Library/PLT Scheme/planet/300/352/cache/williams/inference.plt/1/2/examples") Incidentally, Doug also posts about his projects on his blog - check it out to get some further insights into the development of his "Knowledge-based Simulation Environment". See you at the meeting! -- Bill Clementson P.S. - Additional links are available on my blog posting of the meeting: http://bc.tech.coop/blog/061003.html

An outbreak of an illness occurs when there is an increase in
the number of people who live in the same area and are infected around the same
time by an organism such as a virus or bacteria. A community may have an
outbreak of the flu or measles as that specific organism spreads through the
water or food in that area.
Organisms passed to people from
insects or rodents can cause outbreaks too. These outbreaks usually do not
spread much beyond the region where the rodents or insects live.

Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman: Like a Double Wedding
Hot on the heels of her engagement to Arpad Busson, comes the news that Uma Thurman married the financier Wednesday night at her apartment in Manhattan.
INF Daily noticed a party service van loading up bags and large tables outside her home Thursday. Later, the couple were spotted along with Uma's children Maya and Roan leaving the apartment looking as if they were packed for a trip.
Thursday it was also confirmed that Ethan Hawke had wed his former nanny, Ryan Shawhughes, who is pregnant with his baby. Though secret until now, Hawke and Shawhughes were actually hitched last month in New York City, Ethan's publicist confirmed to the Associated Press. The couple was seen last month obtaining a marriage license.
While Uma's honeymooning in some lush, exotic locale, Ethan is probably enjoying some Lamaze classes with his former nanny. Too romantic.

Radiology Personnel
Jalal Andre, M.D.Associate Professor
Dr. Andre is director of neurological MRI and MRI safety officer at Harborview Medical Center and a UW assistant professor of radiology, with expertise in neuroradiology.
Dr. Andre's research interests include the clinical application of advanced MRI techniques in assessing brain vessel abnormalities and traumatic brain injury. Specifically, Dr. Andre's focus involves measuring brain perfusion (blood flow) using arterial spin labeling, an MRI technique that can non-invasively measure blood delivery to the brain and requires no IV, injectable substance or radiation.
Dr. Andre's on-going clinical research is using this technique to better understand vasospasm, a type of temporary vessel narrowing that can occur in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (a brain bleed). Similarly, Dr. Andre is also exploring the application of this non-invasive technique to evaluate sports-related traumatic brain injury in adolescents.
Dr. Andre earned his bachelor's degree in biochemistry from the University of California at Riverside and his M.D. from Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia, PA. He completed an internship at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia. After four years of residency training in diagnostic radiology at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, NJ., Dr. Andre completed two years of fellowship training in neuroradiologyat at Stanford University. Dr. Andre has been on faculty at UW since August 2011 and is board certified in radiology. He also possesses a certificate of additional qualification in neuroradiology and is a delegate of the American Board of Radiology.

Sony and Microsoft both had PR snafus yesterday, but only one company came out of it smelling like a rose.
Sony is the one who didn't, which seems par for the course these days. I've had a lot of patience with the company and have even defended them during the recent hack and the ensuing PSN downtime. But this I cannot forgive.
Here's what happened. Someone discovered a way to reset another user's password via the PSN and Qriocity websites. What's supposed to happen is that you enter your email and birthdate, and you get sent an email with a link to click to verify that you want to change your password. But by manipulating URLs clever miscreants were able to bypass the link-clicking step. Kotaku listed the steps given to it as follows:
1) Navigate to : https://store.playstation.com/accounts/reset/resetPassword.action?token (this is normally, via email, https://store.playstation.com/accounts/reset/resetPassword.action?token=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY with the y's being a unique token) - do not enter the code at this point.
2) Open a new tab in firefox, and go to fr.playstation.com (other pages will work too most likely), and click Login (Connexion)
3) Click Recover password
4) Enter the email and date of birth of the target account
5) Click continue, then on the confirmation page, click "Reset using E-mail"
6) Switch back to the original tab, and enter the code, then click continue
7) You will now be asked to enter a new password for the target account
I haven't been able to clarify the exact steps (like where the code in step 6 comes from) because Sony brought the sites down to fix the exploit, but this seems like a pretty basic flaw in their security. After all the scrutiny and loudly announced hiring security consultants, they come back online and two days later someone has figured out this simple way to bypass their new security system? Really, Sony!?
Now, a cooler head will point out that you need to know the email account and birthdate of the person, and still they'll get two emails, one saying "Click here to reset your password" and a second saying "You've successfully reset your password!" which should alert anyone who has lost access to their account, and Sony did immediately take down the websites to fix the problem...
But this shouldn't have gotten past them in the first place, and worse was the post on the Playstation Blog which said, in part:
Contrary to some reports, there was no hack involved. In the process of resetting of passwords there was a URL exploit that we have subsequently fixed.
That strikes me as arguing semantics when you ought to be apologizing yet again for totally dropping the ball on security. When someone changes my password and by doing so can get into my account and see all my information, it doesn't matter if it was via a "hack" or a "URL exploit." It matters that once again you've let me down, Sony!
Now compare that debacle with the problem that has surfaced over in the Xbox 360 camp. It turns out that a recent system update (though Microsoft is being coy about which one, exactly) has rendered some old Xbox 360s unable to read the disks that new games are coming on.
So what is Microsoft doing about it? First, they're pro-actively detecting the problem Xboxes via Xbox Live, and when they find one they reach out to the owners, offering them a new 250 GB Xbox 360 S (that's the whisper-quiet model that came out last summer) and a year of Xbox Live Gold membership. In most cases the people who have gotten this offer haven't even been aware there's a problem. Shacknews has the full story, and Engadget posted a screenshot of the letter one user received (though they attribute the problem to the update that is currently in testing, which I think is wrong).
Crisis averted, and Microsoft comes out looking like a great company that really cares about its customers. I hope Sony is paying attention; maybe they'll learn something. In the meantime if you have an old Xbox 360 laying around, it might be worthwhile to connect it to Xbox Live so it can phone home to the mothership; if it's one of the 'very few' problematic units, you might score a new game console!

Ralph Macchio Eliminated on 'Dancing with the Stars'
Ralph Macchio was the latest contestant to go home on 'Dancing with the Stars' last night. In a poll yesterday, the majority of you thought he would go home, so you're probably not surprised by his elimination. It's down to Hines, Chelsea and Kirstie, so who will win the mirror ball trophy?
I have been pleasantly surprised with Kirstie's dancing and she's so confident on the dance floor, but I don't think she's going to end up winning it. I think it will be between Hines and Chelsea and Hines will take the trophy home. Hines has been another favorite of mine this season, so I want to see him win!
Who would you like to see on the show next season? Rod and I talked about this earlier and we both agreed that we would like to see Kevin and Winnie from 'The Wonder Years'. They both probably have some time on their hands.


text: It seems people in the Northern hemisphere have all the fun! What about some info for those down south? Last night I saw a very bright pass at approx. 19:30 local time, (that is GMT +2) travelling W to E (roughly; I was not watching specifically, just happened to be outdoors) approx elevation 45 deg above the northern horizon. My location 29:00S 24:00E. Any clues; I know the information is sketchy but as I say I just happened to be outdoors and this bright object caught my eye. Izak Marais

Blindside flanker Scott Fardy said Australia's historic win against Argentina on Sunday was a glimpse of the potential of a side yet to hit their straps.
Fardy weathered a harrowing set-piece battle against the Pumas scrum in the first half and secured key turnovers for the Wallabies when they were under pressure in defence.
But the Brumbies journeyman, who made his Test debut this year at the age of 29, paid tribute to his back-line teammates for their efforts in attack, and warned there was more to come.
"You saw 'Izzy' [Israel Folau] and Joey [Joe Tomane] having a field day," Fardy said. "The back three were excellent. People fear our back line, they're quality players. We got them a lot of ball, and they delivered a result for us tonight."
Fardy was one of a number of outstanding players in the Wallabies 54-17 rout of Argentina in Rosario, tackling ferociously and swarming rucks with fellow northern beaches product Michael Hooper.
He said he enjoyed playing off Hooper's energy but played down his own role in the stunning and badly needed victory.
"It's a team effort. People say, 'You've won the penalty,' but it's the bloke who has made the tackle around the legs that won the penalty," Fardy said. "You just put your head over the ball."
There was belief within the group going into the match, he said, after an improved second half effort against the Springboks in Cape Town last week.
"We knew we were working towards something," he said. "It hasn't been a great Rugby Championship. We lost all our games to New Zealand and South Africa, but there were halves there where we played really well. Things went our way a bit more tonight."
But not before Fardy had to leave the field and watch utility back Adam Ashley-Cooper pack down at blindside so that Benn Robinson could replace sin-binned prop James Slipper in the scrum.
The Wallabies survived an eight minute onslaught from the Pumas set piece early in the first half, and escaped without conceding a point.
Fardy said he was proud of the forwards for standing up at a time when the Wallabies scrum has been under intense fire.
"It is an eight-man effort and our boys up front always cop a lot of press about the scrum," he said. "They take ownership of it, but it is an eight-man effort. From one to eight I thought we had a great effort in the scrum tonight. I can't praise those blokes enough for the work they do off the field, and [forwards coach Andrew Blades] Bladesy, to keep us in the contest."

Last Tango in Paris (Italian: Ultimo tango a Parigi) is a 1972 Italian romantic drama art film directed by Bernardo Bertolucci which portrays a recent American widower who takes up an anonymous sexual relationship with a young, soon-to-be-married Parisian woman. It stars Marlon Brando, Maria Schneider, and Jean-Pierre Léaud.
The film's raw portrayal of sexual violence and emotional turmoil led to international controversy and drew various levels of government censorship. The MPAA gave the film an X rating upon release in the United States. After revisions were made to the MPAA ratings code, it was classified as an NC-17 in 1997. MGM released a censored R-rated cut in 1981. The film has its NC-17 rating for "some explicit sexual content."
Paul (Marlon Brando), a middle-aged American hotel owner mourning the suicide of his wife, meets a young engaged Parisian woman named Jeanne (Maria Schneider) in an apartment both are interested in renting. Paul and Jeanne proceed to have an anonymous sexual relationship in the apartment, and Paul demands that neither of them share any personal information, not even their names. The affair goes on until one day Jeanne comes to the apartment to find that Paul has, without warning, packed up and left.
The music for the film was composed by Gato Barbieri. Some instances of music appearing in the film however are not listed in the credits. For instance in the scene where Jeanne wants to play a record, and asks Paul to take a look at the record player because it does not seem to work: Jeanne: "I've got a surprise for you!" Paul: "That's good. I like surprises. What is it?" Jeanne: "Music. But I don't know how to work it." While getting the player to work Paul gets an electric shock. Paul: "Do you enjoy that?" Then the uncredited song is played.[11]
Brutally honest as life itself.
Erotic Love sweeps the lovers away like "an usual destiny in the blue sea of August..." [Nods to Lina Wertmüller.]
Love is a fine Madness.
The Death of Love comes to the unworthy; those who fall from its grace by being inauthentic, by denying Love's wildness & unreason.
The music & the City of Light are also characters.
My dear? Go get the butter...
"Say please..."
From the UA soundtrack, rereleased by Rykodisc in 1999.

Student Staffing Resources
Faculty Student Association's (FSA) Student Staffing Resources (SSR) is an office dedicated to recruitment, training, advocacy for student employment and work based and related learning experiences within FSA administered operations. The office is staffed and operated by SBU students with access to and oversight by FSA Human Resources professional staff.Find Jobs on Handshake

- Learn more about Handshake
- Finding An Experience on Handshake
- How to view FSA/Campus Dining jobs on Handshake
- Sample Resume Template
Due to the large number of students employed in Faculty Student Association's expanding range of services, there was a burgeoning need to efficiently staff these units. Thus, in 1993, Student Staffing Resources (SSR) was developed as a distinct entity that would provide all the functions of a standard human resources department, but one which is primarily geared to the unique needs of students. In succeeding years, SSR evolved into an office operated by students in collaboration with, and having access to, the staff and resources of FSA Human Resources and other FSA departments. So to accomplish its various objectives, the SSR office has unfettered access to the full array of expertise in the areas of employee relations, labor law, payroll and compensation, information systems, benefits and administrative affairs in dealing with the student employment matters.
- To provide quality employment as a means of financial support for students and as a vehicle for partaking of experiential learning opportunities. SSR advocates for expanded student development and work preparedness opportunities through employment and ancillary means and provides a greater role for students to become more participatory stakeholders in FSA and the campus community
- To monitor student employment experiences to promote and contribute to a satisfactory and meaningful work experience while enriching preparation for successfully competing and participating in tomorrow's workforce
- To conduct research in student employment matters, to help develop a greater understanding of the role and value that employment has within the spectrum of collegiate experiences as well as developing programs and approaches to improve the practical application and development of work skills that contribute to professional growth
SSR maintains an open door policy so as to be responsive to the needs of student staff and job seekers and is available to provide information and a wide range of other services such as job mentoring, evaluation, one-on-one skills development/job search assistance and assistance with job/work related issues or problems. This unit conducts searches and placement of students for the various operations of FSA and other opportunities on and off campus when applicable. SSR staff primarily assists students in navigating the on-campus job landscape and facilitates access to these opportunities by proactively identifying vacancies and working with work units to find and place students in appropriate work situations throughout the year including during intersessions.
Another facet of SSR's functions is the development of a student employment data base from which cohorts can better understand the actualized and potential value and role of this means for student learning outside of the class room.. From such data, new "Learning and Earning" opportunities have been devised including the "Excellerated Pay" program as well producing analyses, reports, manuals, policies and procedures and a wealth of data that spur innovative thinking and programs, What's more, there have been other means that have evolved for availing resources exclusively to Stony Book students such as newsletters and synoptic learning modules that concisely cover practical and meaningful subject matter which serve as the foundation for establishing and maintaining successful careers and an extensive multi-media library covering work success subject matter. Not to be forgotten are interdepartmental collaborations with such departments as the SBU College of Business and others from which FSA student staff have been beneficiaries.
Also not to be forgotten are the numerous proactive SSR staff who have been Student Employees of the Year including the only SBU student to have ever earned a multi-state regional title and recognition as Student of the Year and the Director of the department who was conferred the campus' President's Award for Diversity and Affirmative Action. Other FSA student employees have also been Student of the Year, and while others have gone onto notable entrepreneurial and professional careers because they have envisioned the possibilities and seized the myriad opportunities for self development while helping fellow students with their growth potential.

| This is wrong. That it is being considered while knowing that some defect causes cloned animal to die earlier is abominable. If you are not going to protect the consumer by banning this type food, at least you should require labeling so the consumer is able to make an informed choice. I am also contacting all my senators and my representative to let them know that I am strongly against this measure.

While many other Americans watched the box office hit ''Pearl Harbor'' (some critics panning the film as ''Snora Snora Snora'') on Memorial Day, I was down in Sparta with my sister Patsy, grilling hot dogs and admiring her blossoming garden.
''Do you know what the most popular hobby is today in America?'' Patsy teased.
''Sex,'' I said.
''No. Martha Stewart says the most popular hobby is gardening.''
Well, Martha Stewart has her opinion and I have mine.
I know absolutely nothing about gardening and couldn't tell the difference between a weed and a plant if my life depended on it. But Ram Giberson, my neighbor across the street who has the lushest garden (featured a couple of years ago in Southern Living magazine) in the western hemisphere, once said it doesn't matter whether it's a weed or a plant -- if you like it, go with it.
My wife, Carolyn, Patsy and their sisters Linda and Barbara Claire, have always had the green thumbs in our family. These days, my yard is lucky if I walk out and pick up a couple of pine cones. A young man named Gregory Hannah recently began handling all the mowing and trimming and so on, and Greg keeps the place looking great.
As far as hobbies go, my favorites are playing with the computer and watching TV. I will forever be indebted to Barbara Claire, Linda and my niece Susan for insisting that I get on the Internet and for helping me to navigate when Carolyn died. The idea of actually buying a new computer and figuring out how to do all that stuff was terrifying, since I am humanity's least mechanical and technical person and can't even hang a picture straight. Carolyn was the expert in that department. Today, however, I have become addicted to the Web, and it certainly helps me to pass the time of day.
Computers are fine when they compute. But when they don't, the world stops. Ever been caught at the bank or the grocery store when their computer wasn't cooperating? Carolyn and I drove cars that were expertly cared for by Larry Williams and other folks at Phil Hughes Honda. But one day a few years back, their computer system went down. The line of customers was getting longer and longer as employees struggled to locate that ancient device where they stick your credit card in and clamp down the lever. They finally found it in a drawer somewhere. Then they had to go find the right kind of paper to use with it. Everybody was fit to kill.
TV is another story. I am not a couch potato, but rather a serious and dedicated student of surfing and button pressing and one who can watch three movies simultaneously. But one day, recently, while staring at the screen and dusting at the same time, I somehow deprogrammed (un-programmed?) the remote control. For hours, I tried to follow the guidelines in that confusing little booklet on how to get the TV back to behaving itself. Total failure.
I called Charter Communications and lied that my nephew had been playing around with the thing and messed it up. A customer service representative named Sir Green calmly walked me through all the steps he could think of to solve the problem. We finally got the picture back, but not the audio. So, Sir sent a stronger signal to my converter box. Still no luck. He suggested I trade in the box for a new one. Translated, that meant I had to deal with all sorts of cables, plugs and connections -- not my cup of tea.
I finally got the thing disconnected, wires protruding, wobbling and flopping like snakes, and took it back to the cable company. Another customer rep named Patience Rockmore gave me a new box and carefully explained how to hook it up. I returned home, greatly relieved, only to discover that one of the lines I had pulled earlier belonged to the TV set itself.
Back I went to the company, where the very patient Patience retrieved the lost cord and again walked me through how to put the whole shebang back together.
It was a horrifying experience for a nice guy like me. All in all, though, it was worth it. I am again able to lie back and sip on a martini, transfixed, as images flicker across the little screen. It's a terrific hobby.
Anything but gardening.

Insect Pest Control in an Early Season
Posted: March 23, 2012
As of current insect observations, yesterday (March 22) was the first day of capturing Oriental fruit moth (OFM) (normally it is around mid-April). It is the second week of collecting redbanded leafroller (RBL) and spotted tentiform leafminer (STL). Since we need at least a couple days of sustained flight to establish a biofix, it is difficult to decide right now if March 23 will be the biofix date for OFM. We will have to wait and see how consistent this trend will remain.
Historically, the bloom of apple trees is the time when both CM and TABM start their first generation flights; however during the 2010 season, which granted us a mid-April bloom of apples, the CM and TABM biofixes were not established until about 2 weeks after the bloom. Although pheromone traps are needed during the entire growing season to assess population levels, the precise detection of initial moth activity during the spring is necessary for better timing of available control measures against those pests. Therefore, this year we again strongly, strongly suggest placing pheromone traps in the orchards much earlier, so the biofixes can be precisely established. A moth count of zero is a number, and actually in certain situations it can be a very good one.
Similarly, the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) adults also started early this season and already are leaving overwintering sites and initiating early feeding on available green plants. Unfortunately, the movement from overwintering sites is a very extended process and could last for another 10 weeks. In consequence, while within 2 to 4 weeks the adults could become reproductively active, most likely there will still be plenty of overwintering BMSB adults that still remain in a non-active phase. So at this time, unless strong evidence exists for the actual presence of BMSB in orchards, no specific control measures should be applied. Additionally, our around bloom pest management activities directed against other pest species should provide at least some control of BMSB.
In the next few issues of the Fruit Times Newsletter we will present more detailed brown marmorated stink bug management recommendations based on information generated during last season.
The following updates are normally posted in the April issue of the newsletter but this year we decided to deliver them earlier. Although the early spring timings for insect management activities historically are based on phenological phases of tree development, in such an unusual year as this one, the actual on site monitoring of various pests should be the only valid pest management decision tool.
Protecting Bees and Other Native Pollinators
Although some insecticides are legally allowed as an application during the bloom (with various restrictions), the pest complex that can be controlled during that time period [obliquebanded leafroller (OBLR), European apple sawfly (EAS), rosy apple aphid (RAA), Oriental fruit moth and plum curculio (PC)], in most cases, can also be controlled at other, less controversial timings. Therefore, due to continuous concerns with the possible insecticidal effects on honey bees and other native pollinator populations, we recommend that growers not use insecticides until the bees are completely removed from the orchards. This season especially, due to this unusual weather pattern, our native pollinators may be the best we have for effective pollination of our crops.
Petal Fall Insect Pest Control
Oriental fruit moth, plum curculio, mites, aphids, leafminers, some leafrollers (OBLR) and to some degree scales are the insect pests that normally should be controlled at petal fall. The application of insecticides during the petal fall period still remains one of the most important treatments, setting the tone for the rest of the season. The combination of OFM, PC, European apple sawfly, oblique banded leafroller and redbanded leafroller (RBLR) should be controlled at this time by broad-spectrum insecticides (e.g., organo-phosphates; or neonicotinoids (Assail, Calypso); or Avaunt). Older neonicotinoids (imidacloprid containing products or Actara) applied at the petal fall timing will provide excellent control of aphids and leafminers but they will not control many other pests, although both provide good contact activity against brown marmorated stink bug (if present in the orchard) and some against plum curculio. If only leafrollers, OFM and leafminers are the intended target(s) of the application, then an application of Intrepid, Proclaim, Rimon will also be very effective. With expected, in season increase in usage of broad spectrum, not selective insecticides, the suppression of European red mite population after bloom might significantly help to manage this pest later during the season. Agri-Mek with a penetrant (i.e., oil) applied at petal fall, in most cases still offers excellent control of ERM and STLM, and fair to good control of white apple leafhopper (WALH). Agri-Mek should be applied before the leaves harden off, generally within about 10 days of petal fall. Other acaricides such as Acramite, Envidor, Portal, Kanemite, Nexter or Zeal, although registered mainly for summer mite control, can also be considered for mite control at this time of the season. The ovicidal acaricides - Apollo, Onager (Savey) – can be applied during the petal fall to first cover period. Please see the recommendations in the new 2012-2013 Pennsylvania Tree Fruit Production Guide for rates of all products.
Control of Scale Insects
San Jose scale overwinters as immature blackcaps on the trunks and scaffolds of the tree. The nymphs remain dormant under their waxy covering until the sap begins to flow in the spring, and they continue to feed until bloom. Scales are especially difficult to control on large trees with rough bark. Growers who found fruit infested last fall with scale or who noticed scale infestations during the winter pruning, should apply the appropriate measures during this time of the season. To provide successful control of nymphs an application of oil with an insecticide (i.e., chlorpyrifos, Esteem or Centaur) is necessary at the delayed dormant or early pre-bloom period. If needed, another application of Esteem, Centaur or Movento applied after bloom (up to second cover) also should help in management of this pest. Addition of oil is always necessary with applications of Centaur or Movento, while Esteem can be applied without oil. Similarly to early season mite control, the secret to good scale control is good coverage. Growers should use a minimum of 100 gallons per acre (GPA) or more depending on the size of their trees.
Please remember that the new language on the label for all products containing chlorpyrifos (e.g.,Lorsban) allows for only a single application of per year either as a dormant/pre-bloom or trunk spray during the season.

The parents of a cancer victim scoured the world for a possible miracle cure – then found treatment on their own doorstep.
Kate Kearns, 42, and Kris, 40, were horrified when doctors told them there was nothing more they could do after six-year-old Scarlet's rare form of the disease spread to her brain and spine.
But an internet search for help led them to America's top children's hospital – The Riley in Indianapolis.
Doctors there recommended they contact Sue Picton, a consultant paediatric oncologist based in Leeds, who told them how drug trials were taking place in Manchester – just a few miles from their home in Hazel Grove, Stockport.
The drugs were unsuitable, but Prof Richard Grundy, who is conducting clinical trials in Nottingham, agreed to treat Scarlet with a "different chemotherapy protocol".
Kate said: "As parents, you can't just sit there and let your child die.
"The latest scan has shown the cancer is receding but there is still a long way to go – we pray it will work."
Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said: "Scarlet's case is complex."

A first choice place to go when my husband and I are looking for somewhere to eat, somewhere to snack, somewhere to have a pint, or somewhere just to hang out. Fun on a date or with a group of friends.
Honestly, we've never been on the restaurant side because we love the bar's seat yourself atmosphere. Happy Hour (9pm-close) is when you'll usually find us there. FULL SIZED appies and late night meals for half price. Cheap well drinks and pints. Very tasty.
Our favourite appies are:
- Potato Skins, loaded with toppings (including fresh crumbled bacon, not bacon bits) and delicious sour creamy dip.
- Buffalo Chicken Tenders, SO spicy and tangy, awesome blue cheese dip, clean and crisp veggies, and best of all, boneless. Always well cooked, crisp on the outside and nice and juicy inside.
- BBQ Chicken Quesadilla, a fantastic quesadilla. Lots of filling and flavour. Just a real good snack.
- Spinach and Artichoke Dip, very tasty dip although the bread dippers are a bit hit and miss. The garlic spread is delicious, but sometimes a bit heavy on some pieces and not enough on others. Once they're slathered in the dip, who cares. This stuff even tastes great the next day if you happen to be like us and order everything that tastes good since it's so cheap.
The next best thing about The Ram, is their awesome microbrews. If you're a first timer, I suggest starting with the sample horn. A generous 4oz sampler of six of their best selling beer. I like to do this at the start of the night then move on to my favourite, which seems to change every visit. Very good beer, with a good selection of domestic and imports on top of the house micros.
The service is pretty good there 90% of the time. Sometimes if you get there late you get a server who is pretty obviously at the end of their shift and wants to go home, but they still try to keep a smile on. We've always gotten our orders taken quickly, and our beer even quicker. Never a problem with refills, they're almost always right on top of it.
Another cool thing if you're just relaxing in the bar on a weekend night is the trivia pads. You can get these cool little digital consoles at your table that allow you to join in the trivia that's up on the smaller TV screens (the big ones are saved for any type of sporting event that's going on. VERY fun place during a game, but can be hard to get a table. Thankfully they don't seem to mind serving you a beer while you're hanging around the entrance waiting for one.
We're going again tonight. We'll go again before summer is over, and we're guaranteed to be there for good evening games during football season. Highly recommended! You can't go wrong with a $27 bill for two people during happy hour. Four appies and four pints - unbeatable!

According to surveys of visitors to the West, natural attractions are the No. 1 tourist draw. Certainly that's the case in Montana. A nine-state project has been set up to help entrepreneurs, land owners and communities capitalize on this interest. The project's first effort is "Nature Tourism Businesses," a half-hour video released this week.
The video's executive producer, MSU Extension community development specialist Dave Sharpe, interviews successful owners of three kinds of nature tourism businesses.
First, we meet folks who make a living providing access to places tourists can't easily reach on their own. Examples are people who take tourists on scenic flights or river-rafting.
Second, we meet people who are expert in some field and who provide guiding and interpretive services. Examples are organizers of bird-watching or photography expeditions and presenters of interpretive programs at natural sites.
And third, we meet people who provide accommodations for tourists who are mainly interested in nature and who want an enjoyable, memorable place to stay near a natural attraction. (Such a place doesn't need to be fancy.) We hear from a couple who run a bed-and-breakfast ranch in Montana, and a man who runs an upscale hotel in Costa Rica that caters to tourists drawn to the region's natural wonders.
The people interviewed agree on several preconditions for success, says Sharpe.
"Most importantly, a person starting out in a tourism-based business has to take the long view. It may take several years to make a profit. Most businesses that fail do so because they're undercapitalized, and the entrepreneur just cannot hang in there for the long haul.
"Then too, the entrepreneur must have a passion for what he or she is doing. If you love to watch birds and you know a lot about birds, you'll be a much more successful guide than if you don't.
"And finally, the entrepreneur needs to provide a high-quality experience. Tourists have high expectations of the experiences they're about to undergo and the accommodations they've booked. They have high expectations of what you're going to provide them. To succeed, you've got to meet or exceed those expectations."
"Nature Tourism Businesses," Video No. 045, is just over 32 minutes long. It may be borrowed from your county or tribal Extension Service office in Montana, or purchased from Extension Publications, P.O. Box 172040, Bozeman MT 59717-2040. The price is $14.95 postpaid. Credit card orders may be phoned to (406) 994-3273 or faxed to 406-994-2050.

Martha Stewart's taste in accessories - and in particular her flaunting of an exclusive Hermes Birkin handbag - have emerged as early tests of the domestic diva's nerve at her trial for fraud.
America's first lady of interiors staged a haughty show of disdain for her many enemies as she arrived at court yesterday parading one of the chic bags named after Jane Birkin, the British actress beloved by the French.
A basic brown Birkin costs at least $A7800 but is so oversubscribed that Hermes stopped taking new orders two years ago. The most expensive version is $100,000.
Mrs Stewart, 62, carried it to the opening day of her trial and immediately provoked speculation that it would antagonise the jury.
On day two, the Birkin was hidden from view on the steps outside the court but mysteriously surfaced inside. There was speculation that, on the advice of her lawyers, Mrs Stewart smuggled her Birkin inside a cheaper, less ostentatious black hold-all. But on Thursday, day three, the brazen symbol of wealth and privilege made a defiant return, signalling her determination to be herself however unpopular it makes her.
The Birkin, sister of the Kelly, named in honour of Princess Grace of Monaco, is now so oversubscribed that there is a waiting list to get on the waiting list to buy one. It is also, to use a term that has instant recognition in America, "very Martha". Mrs Stewart's advice on cooking, decorating and gardening at one point made her a billionaire. But she is now fighting to clear her name of charges that she lied about a sale of stock in 2001.
The obsession with her choice of handbags has dominated coverage of the opening of her trial, in part because the Birkin chimes with Mrs Stewart's popular image as a formidable snob. But it also reflects the lack of anything more significant to report on save for the grilling of potential members of jury.
Transcripts of the interrogation of jury members reveal a sharp split in the public between those who love her and those who hate her. Many of the jury candidates have had their lives touched by Mrs Stewart and her empire. One man confessed that his wife had been "unfairly fired" from her company, but maintained that this would not cloud his judgment. He was dismissed from jury duty.
The trial is expected to begin in earnest next week. Mrs Stewart has pleaded not guilty to five charges of fraud, obstructing justice and conspiracy.

External Events
Role of Office with External Groups
If the Office of External Events & Conference Housing is contacted directly by an outside group about renting a University facility, the inquiry is reviewed for applicability and feasibility. If the inquiry is for an event that has demonstrable benefit, financial or otherwise, to the University, the Office of External Events & Conference Housing will directly manage the inquiry or may advise the interested party to collaborate with an an on-campus sponsor to assist with the planning and execution of the event or conference. The Office of External Events & Conference Housing will act as a consultant to the host department(s) and prepare a contract, obtain proof of appropriate insurance, and collect applicable rental and service fees.
External Events
Frequently, outside groups wish to use University facilities for a meeting, event, or conference. The University allows qualified outside groups, particularly community and neighborhood groups, to make use of meeting resources at Northeastern. It is beneficial to the University to make University facilities available to some groups for appropriate reasons, but it is important for outside groups to go through the proper channels when requesting space on campus.
There are legal, risk management, and financial issues at stake when the University opens its doors to an outside group. It is important that the University know who is interested in using Northeastern facilities, who is on campus, and the purpose of the meeting, event, or conference. The Office of External Events & Conference Housing is available to assist with qualifying any interested party.
If a University department wishes to invite an external group to use campus meeting facilities, or if asked by an outside group to book space for them on campus, here are the steps to take:
- Always inform the Office of External Events & Conference Housing before you make any arrangements, including space reservation, on behalf of an outside group.
- The outside group must have a written contract with the University that spells out the terms and conditions of the use of University facilities, with specific dates, times, use of space, attendance, and the costs involved.
- University Counsel has prepared standard contracts for outside groups coming to campus who use University facilities for meetings or events. Our office will prepare a Space Use Agreement for the outside group.
- The Space Use Agreement must be signed by the outside group at least 30 business days before the event. After the agreement is approved and signed by University Counsel and Finance, it is returned to Office of External Events & Conference Housing.
- Outside group must present evidence of insurance to the University as required in the Agreement. The Certificate of Insurance should accompany the signed Agreement. It is optimal to get a Certificate of Insurance from an outside group as far in advance as possible. The Office of Risk Services sets the insurance requirements for outside groups, and reviews and approves all insurance certificates for adequate coverage.
- An outside group is required to pay facility rental fees, and to pay for any direct costs provided by a University service provider. Direct costs include, but are not limited to, building services charges to reset or refresh a room; building services overtime charges for evening and weekend events; cleaning; catering; parking; audio-visual equipment or technical support; in some cases, the cost of an assigned facility manager to monitor the event (this usually applies in the Curry Student Center); cost of a public safety detail if deemed appropriate by the University; signage, if deemed appropriate by the University; and other costs on a case-by-case basis.

The trailer for Sang Penari showcases not only impressive production values but also an uncommon ability to blend the intimate with the epic, to position a manageable story against a totally believable large scale backdrop. Not speaking the language obviously places me at a disadvantage when looking at a character drama but everything in this trailer says quality. Take a look below.Sang Penari is a love story that takes place in a poor Javanese village, Dukuh Paruk, in the mid 1960s. RASUS, a young military officer, is looking for the love of his life, SRINTIL. They are separated by the darkest period in Indonesian history.
Srintil and Rasus have loved each other their whole life. But Srintil's gift is driving them apart, when the village elders see her magical dance as a sign of the indang, a spirit that can befall only a real ronggeng. And they believe that a dancer bestowed with the indang will lead them to order and prosperity. A belief strongly embraced by Srintil, but abhorred by Rasus, because this means Srintil will never only be his. Robbed of his love, he leaves the village in desperation to become a soldier.
As the country sinks into political turmoil, Rasus has to choose between his loyalty to his country and his love for Srintil. Their love is tested as they find themselves on opposite sides of history.

props is short for "propers" as in, "proper respect"
On 13 Dec 2001, Joe M**** answered the question on Deja News. Here is how it is explained:
Props, short for Propers, -Don't forget that the entire word "propers" is used in the song "Respect", written by Otis Redding and most famously recorded by Aretha Franklin in 1967. At least, I think it is ("all I'm askin' in return honey is to give me my propers when I get home")-

Room 208
My research focuses on several aspects of political ideologies. For example, how do liberals and conservatives differ as media consumers and voters? Do audience members' ideologies affect their attitudes toward, or the usage of, the media? Additionally, do feminism, racism, capitalism and materialism influence how the media cover, and how audiences perceive, certain issues and groups (e.g., women, racial minorities, and same-sex marriage)? Another research interest is advertising education. I have produced more than 70 academic journal articles and conference papers, and a co-authored book on these topics.
All the topics above are essentially about consumer behavior and audience research. These studies have significantly contributed to my teaching. Understanding the audience is the first step to create effective strategic communication messages.
I regularly teach Principles, Research Methods and Strategic Campaigns at the undergraduate level and a graduate Research Methods class.
A major part of my teaching and research is to work with students. Several undergraduate students who did an independent study with me to improve their creative portfolio had been admitted to some of the most prestigious advertising portfolio schools such as the Virginia Commonwealth University Brand Center. In addition, I have co-authored conference papers with many graduate students. In 2012, two such papers have been published in prestigious journals. One of them is Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, which is the flagship journal of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.

Well Played: Rose McGowan Is The Perfect Pale
Rose McGowan: I'm not sure what she's been up to lately, but hey, major props to her for keeping it so pale. In a Southern California world rife with tanorexics, McGowan's vibe is decidedly gothy.

Many real processes have stochastic features which seem to be representable in some intuitive sense as `close to Poisson', `nearly random', `nearly uniform' or with binary variables `nearly independent'. Each of those particular reference states, defined by an equation, is unstable in the formal sense, but it is passed through or hovered about by the observed process. Information geometry gives precise meaning for nearness and neighbourhood in a state space of processes, naturally quantifying proximity of a process to a particular state via an information theoretic metric structure on smoothly parametrized families of probability density functions. We illustrate some aspects of the methodology through case studies: inhomogeneous statistical evolutionary rate processes for epidemics, amino acid spacings along protein chains, constrained disordering of crystals, distinguishing nearby signal distributions and testing pseudorandom number generators.

About the Film:
When Director Punam Kumar Gill and Producers Drew and Joses Martin heard that the health information being given to women prior to an abortion was subject to the politics of the people involved, they determined to put aside individual ideology and take an honest, scientific look, at the highly disputed and politicized information around abortions' long-term effects on women's health. What Punam discovers in the process is not just vital to the subject of reproductive health, but also critical to her own life, and integral to the ongoing progress of women everywhere.

City to pay pedestrian corridor street lighting installation costs
May 24, 2013, 2013 (MINNEAPOLIS) Today, the City Council approved a revision to the City's street lighting policy that changes the way projects along pedestrian corridors are funded. Now, whenever a street reconstruction project takes place along a designated pedestrian corridor, the installation of pedestrian street lighting will be included and paid for in full by the City of Minneapolis.
Adopted in January 2009, the City's street lighting policy was created to help Minneapolis build a cohesive citywide lighting system, and to ensure that areas with higher amounts of foot traffic along transit and commercial corridors have improved lighting for safety and security. The policy originally called for property owners along a reconstructed street to pay for the installation of new pedestrian street lighting through assessments. However, since there's a citywide benefit to improved lighting along pedestrian corridors, City leaders concluded that the cost of street lighting should be borne by the city, not the property owners adjacent to these projects. Now, pedestrian corridor street lighting will be installed as part of a street reconstruction projects and funded through City and other sources.
In addition, property owners along five streets that had pedestrian streetlights installed since the 2009 adoption of the policy will have their assessments cancelled and/or refunded. These streets include Nicollet Avenue South, Riverside Avenue, Lyndale Avenue South, University Avenue SE, and Washington Avenue SE. Two street reconstructions along pedestrian corridors that are taking place this year – one on Penn Avenue South and the other on 46th Street South – and will also have pedestrian corridor street lighting included and paid for by the City.
The revisions to the street lighting policy can be seen at: http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/www/groups/public/@clerk/documents/webcontent/wcms1p-108421.pdf.

It was a perfect Georgia winter's night. My favorite constellations of Orion, Taurus and the Pleiades seemed close enough to touch in the clear, black velvet sky. To escape the town's lights, I drove three miles west of Greensboro to where the Carey's Station dirt road crossed the not-yet-completed I-20. The Milky Way hovers directly over that bridge in winter time, though nowadays the headlights of interstate traffic and glare from a dozen billboards has ruined that spot for stargazing.
Back in 1969, after marveling at the constellations for a time, after pondering light speed, the breadth of the universe, the fact that Columbus and Magellan had seen the same stars and that the light which left them in Columbus' time still hasn't gotten to earth yet, and after considering man's puny life span and the mysteries of existence, I spun up the 327 and headed for home.
It was really late, or very early, when I hit the long stretch of road traversing the valley formed by the Richland Creek just west of Greensboro. That night it was wide open and deserted. My Chevy was chomping at the bit, the 327 burbling throatily through the dual exhausts, and I was a bulletproof 17-year-old.
So, I popped third gear and accelerated into the valley, shifting into fourth at about 90. As I scorched over Richland Creek and started the long, gentle climb to the city limits, I was right at 115, and I knew that was all my Chevy could give me.
As I let off the gas pedal and let her slow, I witnessed one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. A shooting star fell from the crystal clear night sky, so close and vivid that despite all I'd read about distances being deceiving, I was certain the meteorite had come to Earth just ahead and to the right. Almost on top of a dirt road joining from the right, I got on my brakes, downshifted and made the turn.
Rolling my window down, I shifted into first and let the '64 idle down the middle of the dirt road as I scanned for that falling star. And as the 327 loped along at 5 miles an hour, I had another amazing experience.
My front right tire blew out.
Anyone who's experienced a blowout, particularly on a front wheel, knows how startling it can be. The new Tiger Paw was tubeless, and the wheel's steel rim dug quickly into the soft sand, bringing the Chevy to a lurching halt near the right shoulder of the road.
Alighting, I assessed the situation, retrieved the spare and the jack from the trunk, while still looking around for that star.
And then it hit me. If I hadn't seen that falling star, I'd have been running about 105 when the tire blew, instead of idling down a dirt road. My '64 Chevy had no seat belts, the dash was solid metal, and the steering column was a non-collapsible spear pointed directly at the driver's heart. At 17, with limited experience handling high-speed blowouts, instead of looking for a shooting star, I'd have most likely been one.
So, I stopped and thanked God for letting me survive and as I got into changing the tire, I thought about a few more things.
I was thankful my dad had taught me how to block the opposite rear wheel so it wouldn't give and roll on the soft dirt road. I knew how to position the jack just right to allow for the weight of the car to shift as it drove the stand down into the dirt. Daddy taught me to break the lugs loose before I started jacking a car up, so the force of breaking them loose wouldn't cause the car to topple over on me. And, I had the spare propped up against the car, aligned with the lugs for a quick swap out.
Another thought hit me even harder, though, as I finished. By driving as fast as I could, I had stupidly dishonored the memory of a great childhood friend, Billy Curtis.
Billy had gotten a 1967 Ford Fairlane GTA when he turned 16. With the 289 hi-performance engine and dual exhausts, it was one sweet, fast machine. One night Billy was in Eatonton, and very near the bridge which now spans Lake Oconee at the Greene County line, and got into racing some Putnam County boys.
Somehow, as his GTA walked away, Billy got sideways in the road, and he died in the broadside crash that ensued.
I've tried never to forget the lesson Billy Curtis taught me that night. Billy paid for the costliest lesson of all with his own life, teaching me how precious and short our time here really is.
I was cold, I remember. As I finished changing the tire, I looked up and watched my breath as I exhaled and wondered if Billy Curtis had somehow sent that shooting star my way, to get me off the gas pedal and onto that dirt road.
As Thanksgiving approaches every year, I remember my friend and am thankful for the time he was here. I am thankful for the 40 years of starry nights I've seen, and the experiences I've had that he missed.
I wish I could tell him that I'd never done anything else stupid in a car, but that'd be a lie. I have tried, though, to live decently - mindful of the cost of the lesson he bought for me.
As Thanksgiving arrives, despite problems facing America, there is still much to be thankful for. And among my many blessings, I'm particularly thankful for a lesson learned on a cold winter's night in 1969, and for a friend named Billy Curtis.

Event Details
A film by Jean-Luc Godard, Joris Ivens, William Klein, Claude Lelouch, Chris Marker, and Alain Resnais
New Restoration!
Initiated and edited by Chris Marker, Far from Vietnam is an epic 1967 collaboration between cinema greats Jean-Luc Godard, Joris Ivens, William Klein, Claude Lelouch, Alain Resnais and Agnés Varda in protest of American military involvement in Vietnam-- made, per Marker's narration, "to affirm, by the exercise of their craft, their solidarity with the Vietnamese people in struggle against aggression."
A truly collaborative effort, the film brings together an array of stylistically disparate contributions, none individually credited, under a unified editorial vision. The elements span documentary footage shot in North and South Vietnam and at anti-war demonstrations in the United States; a fictional vignette and a monologue that dramatize the self-interrogation of European intellectuals; interviews with Fidel Castro and Anne Morrison, widow of Norman Morrison, the Quaker pacifist who burned himself alive on the steps of the White House in 1965; an historical overview of the conflict; reflections from French journalist Michèle Ray; and a range of repurposed media material.
Passionately critical and self-critical, and as bold in form as it is in rhetoric, Far from Vietnam is a milestone in political documentary and in the French cinema. - Icarus Films
