Organic Care for Trees & Shrubs
The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) is an international nonprofit organization that determines which input products are allowed for use in organic production and processing. OMRI Listed® products are allowed for use in certified organic operations under the USDA National Organic Program.
Since its inception, SavATree has had a passion for environmentally friendly tree, shrub, and lawn care that promotes and protects environmental integrity. We insist upon using certified and knowledgeable arborists who understand the intricate relationships between the plants, people, animals, and the community at large. Using this information, SavATree can balance your desires and plans for your landscape with a customized program that is both considerate of nature and helps to create a vigorous and sustainable environment.
Organic Treatment
SavATree's organic program uses exclusive ingredients reviewed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) under the same standards as the production of organic foods. Generally a property that is in reasonably good health, with fairly good soil conditions and free from infestations of insects, mites, diseases or weeds will receive the most benefit from a completely organic program.
Hybrid Treatment
Our hybrid program aims to maintain the health of landscape plants or turf by careful monitoring and use of environmentally sensitive cultural, preventive and curative strategies. Certain landscapes may have difficulties such as depleted nutrients, insects or disease conditions, weeds, or high-maintenance species that require intervention. Our hybrid solution allows the adjustment of materials to address a specific problem with a "rescue treatment" while still respecting nature's existing harmony.
Traditional Integrated Treatment
This integrated program combines natural, synthetic and biological materials together to promote a productive growing environment with highly targeted and low impact treatments. This method always adheres to sound environmental practices, using the least intrusive approach to combat adverse landscape conditions.
Plant Health Care
Plant health care promotes the health and vigor of your landscape by choosing the right plants, providing the proper nourishment and carefully monitoring their condition to help them thrive. SavATree uses advanced fertilizer programs that revive plants by methodically adding essential nutrients to the soil based on specific tree and shrub needs. Arborists evaluate and factor in variables such as soil condition, age and health of species, location, weather and environmental stress so as to best treat a landscape.
Fertilizing Your Plants and Trees
Programs that include fertilizers to feed your trees and plants are all customized mixtures that contain one or more of the following ingredients:
- ArborKelp® - our exclusive seaweed biostimulant which promotes root growth and heightens stress tolerance
- Macronutrients – slow release nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, which encourage plant health
- Micronutrients – ingredients to correct mineral deficiencies
- Mycorrhizae – essential fungus to simulate the forest environment
- ArborHealth® – a superior nutritional tree eco-friendly fertilizer program that supplies necessary nutrient elements for the garden soil
Additional Green Plant Health Care Services
- Arbor Patrol® - SavATree's unique scouting and treatment program where specialists carefully monitor the condition of your trees to ensure that diseases, insects, or mites do not compromise the health of your trees
- Beneficial Insect Lure - Reduce the population of destructive pests invading your plants, naturally. A revolutionary method to attract beneficial, pest-fighting, insects to your property is now available
- Deer Deterrent - SavATree's expert staff can help evaluate your property's vulnerability to deer feeding and provide taste and odor treatments to deter deer and prevent damage to your landscape.
Cultural and Biological Practices
On this road to greenness, make sure not to overlook the essential implementation of cultural practices. Proper pruning; watering, seeding, aeration and selecting the right plant for the right location all help build a strong foundation and maintain plant health.
Knowing you are working with a company that can balance your needs and preferences with a combination of natural and responsible methods creates a healthy environment we can all enjoy now and into the future.

The Wyoming Authors Wiki at http://wiki.wyomingauthors.org is a new online resource for information on the state's books and authors. More than 700 authors are currently listed, and the site grows daily. It was developed by staff at the Wyoming State Library as a Wyoming Center for the Book project.
What makes the wiki different from an ordinary web site is that its users can add or edit information, much like the well-known Wikipedia web site. Authors, publicists, readers, students, historians and others with information about Wyoming literature may register with the Authors Wiki to contribute.
"Many state Centers for the Book put author information online, but we believe we are the first to put it in a wiki," said Tina Lackey, Wyoming State Library Publications Specialist. "Wikis, blogs, social networking sites - people are drawn to these because they can become part of the conversation, and they can add their own 'puzzle piece' of knowledge to the picture."
She added, "We hope to build a strong user community that will keep the wiki updated with what's happening right now in Wyoming's writing scene and will add to our knowledge of the state's literary history."
The State Library hired Jill Armetta, a graduate English student at the University of Wyoming, as a summer intern to do the extensive research and data entry needed to begin building the Wyoming Authors Wiki.
"Just by researching authors and the titles of their books, I have learned volumes about the people who formed Wyoming's history and culture," Armetta said, "but the truly interesting information will come from the people who will contribute to the wiki who have personal ties to or who have researched the state's writers."
The Wyoming Authors Wiki can be found at http://wiki.wyomingauthors.org. The contributor registration process takes only a few minutes. For more information, contact Tina Lackey at 307-777-6338 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.
It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.
The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly.
Not everyone gets to be an astronaut when they grow up.
Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.
May not be warranted at this point.
I expected times like this - but I never thought they'd be so bad, so long, and so frequent.

Pervasive fears sparked by acts of terror, violent crime and resource scarcity test our values and raise critical questions about how enduring our support for human rights may be.

Speakers include Ivan Simonovic (Assistant Secretary-General, Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, United Nations), Consolee Nishimwee (Author of "Tested to the Limit: A Genocide Survivor's Story of Pain, Resilience, and Hope"), and Dr. Celia B.

"The Man Who Saved the World"
Tuesday, February 3, 2015 | 4:00 PM
Freeman Hall 103 | Rose Hill Campus
On February 3, 2015, colleges and universities across the country will take part in a National Screening Day of The Man Who Saved the World, a soon-to-be released film that has been receiving awards and standing ovations at screenings around the world. The film tells the powerful story of Soviet Lt. Colonel Stanislav Petrov, who single-handedly averted nuclear war in 1983 by deciding to follow conscience over protocol.
Michael Peppard, Assistant Professor, Theology Department, has coordinated with the film's producers to have Fordham be one of the campuses to show the movie. We hope that you will attend this outstanding event. You can watch the movie's trailer HERE.
This is perhaps the finest film about nuclear issues ever made, in no small part because it's the tale of a broken hero's redemption, rather than a preachy documentary about "an issue." The film provides an important entry point for students (and really, anyone) to consider the scientific, ethical and moral challenges presented by nuclear weapons. Let's help this movie develop the broad viewing that it deserves.

Evolution and Creation: A Dialogue Toward Ethics by Elizabeth Johnson, C.S.J.
Wednesday, September 24, 2014 | 6:30 p.m.
12th-floor Lounge | Lowenstein Center
Lincoln Center Campus | 113 W. 60th St. | New York City
Guided by this often unheeded biblical advice, this lecture will ask about the world we inhabit and listen to the answers of the gorgeous diversity of living species on this planet. Scientifically, they will say: we have evolved. Theologically, they will teach: we are God's beloved creation. At this time of undoubted ecological crisis, responsible dialogue between these two points of view invigorates ethical behavior that cares for plants and animals with a passion integral to love for the living God. If one sees that the evolving community of life on Earth is a natural marvel which at the same time continues to be the dwelling place of the Spirit of God, and if one then realizes its ruination is a natural disaster as well as an unspeakable sin, then deep affection shown in action on behalf of eco-justice becomes essential for humans who wish to walk a religious path.

The Value of Liberal Arts Education and America's Future
April 28 2014 | Lincoln Center Campus, 140 W. 62nd St., 12th Floor Lounge
2014 Center for Ethics Education Annual Conference
The current economic climate has raised critical questions regarding the cost, scope and purpose of a college education in the United States, including the value of liberal arts curricula. Traditionally, American higher education sought to teach critical thinking skills, foster leadership abilities, prepare students for future careers, and produce ethically informed and engaged citizens. Recent concerns about soaring student debt and narrowing job opportunities, however, have prompted calls for colleges to prioritize vocational and technical instruction aimed at preparing students for immediate employment, raising fundamental questions about the moral ramifications of disinvestment in liberal arts education. This multidisciplinary conference will address urgent concerns regarding the cost and content of college education, examining the value of the liberal arts in shaping active moral leaders to promote the common good.
For more information, view the conference webpage and list of speakers.

USGlobalSat GPS Forums > USB
Android App for USB GPS Receivers
(1/2) > >>
We have discovered that there is an Android App out there that may possibly get your USB GPS Receiver (like the BU-353, BU-353-S4, and ND-100S) to work with your Android Tablet/Phone with USB Host Support. Please keep in mind that this app will only work with PL2303 USB based GPS Receivers, as mentioned above.
If anyone out there has an Android Tablet that has a USB port and USB Host Support, please test out this app and let us know if it works:
"PL2303 Mock Location Provider": http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/vega-general-development/4331-pl2303-usb-gps-stick-software-available.html
App download (the cost is about $2.62): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.esolutions4you.mlprovider
Or, try its free demo version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.esolutions4you.mlproviderdemo
We have found a solution:
If your device is running Honeycomb and above (Android 3.1 ~ Android 4.2+), then you can use the "UsbGPS4Honeycomb_MR1_alpha" app to get the USB GPS Receiver working. Please download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32851757&postcount=58
This app was created for us by a developer in France, and it appears to be working, although, we can't guarantee that it'll work on all Android devices.
I would suggest you refer to the video the developer created regarding how to use the app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scDqVFPN9lU
If you need further help with this app working on your device, we suggest contacting the developer through the forum posting where the app is found.
Is there a way to get these without using the Google play store? It says my tablet is not compatible, even though I'm sure it would work. I am running Android 4.0.3. Dont mind paying for it, but I seem to have hit a roadblock.
If you go to XDA Link mentioned above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32851757&postcount=58) you'll be able to download the UsbGPS4Honeycomb_MR1_alpha.apk file and manually install it on your Android Device.
Or are you referring to another app?
Well I got both apps downloaded, but it still isn't recognizing my GPS. I have a PIPO S3 running Andriod 4.1.1 and a BU-353. When I open the usb_gps I can't select where it says choose USB device....
when I go into the USB host controller it says S3C USB host driver not found.

Rider 6, Lehigh 4
- Click Here for Box Score
College Baseball
Rider University 6, Lehigh University 4
LAWRENCEVILLE—The Broncs defeated Lehigh Tuesday for their fourth straight win and ninth in the last 12 games. "Give Lehigh credit, they hung in there," said Rider head coach Barry Davis, "but we did enough to win. We'll take it. We did a lot of things poorly today."
Rider (17-12) scored four runs in the fifth inning on just two hits and an error.
Rider junior Nick Crescenzo (Hammonton, NJ/Hammonton) hit an RBI single to break a 1-1 tie and scored all the way from second base on a wild pitch to give Rider a 4-1 lead. "Those are the kind of plays that win games for you," Davis said.
Rider senior Joe Calogero (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill HS West) pitched five innings for the win, striking out four without allowing an earned run, giving up just two hits. "My change-up and curveball were working well today," said Calogero, who is now 1-1 on the season and 7-4 in his career. "Just trying to mix up speeds and keep them off balance."
"Joe hasn't had much of a chance to get out there but he was able to get deeper into the game," Davis said. "He got an opportunity today and did a good job."
Calogero (1-1) won the second game of the 2012 season before a shoulder injury that required surgery. "It's been over a year (since his last win) so it feels really good," Calogero said. "It's still not 100 percent but it's getting there. I think I'm pretty much back."
Sophomore Justin Thomas (Richboro, PA/Council Rock South) hit an RBI double in the seventh inning to give Rider a 5-2 lead and sophomore Mike Parsons (Liverpool, NY) hit an RBI single in the eighth inning for a 6-2 lead.
Parsons, sophomore Greg Fazio (Far Hills/Ridge) and senior Adam Wayman (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./G.A.R. Memorial) each had two of Rider's nine hits.
Fazio and sophomore Eric Strano (Robbinsville) both tripled.
After Lehigh (17-15) scored two runs in the ninth inning junior Kyle Kennett (Spring Lake, NJ/St. Rose) came in for the save, getting out of a bases loaded jam with a double play and a strikeout.
Rider defeated Lehigh 13-0 in 1989 and the two teams did not meet again until 2007, a 12-5 Rider win. That was the last meeting between these former East Coast Conference and MAC rivals. Rider and Lehigh have now met 46 times with Rider holding a 33-13 advantage in the series that began in 1967.
Rider travels to NJIT Wednesday. "We have to do better tomorrow than we did today," Davis said. "We've played them three times (2-1 Rider) so we're familiar with them."

More Awkward Than Heavy
May 2, 2014
In the sequel of "More Awkward Than Heavy," Ink Tank Lab's artists focus on collaborating, having fun and letting their imaginations go wild. "MATH2″ is an installation that explores going to art shows as a social event and pokes fun at museum and gallery stereotypes. Ink Tank's artists want the attendees to participate, touch and help create the "awkward" experience. While some work in academic or museum settings and all have different aesthetics, working together as Ink Tank Lab allows these artists to lose the restraints put on when creating 'serious' artwork.

Fun Cruise!: Ruby Princess Cruise Review by sunseeker21
Overall Member Rating
Fun Cruise!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Pros: Nice ship, had 5 pools which I liked, and also the ports of call. Room steward was good, room very clean except for the carpet, showed wear but clean. Rooms nice in size and so was balcony.
Cons: very small showers, smallest Ive ever seen and we have been on alot of cruises with all the diff cruise lines. A large person def would not fit in there. Food was average in the Lido Deck but very good at their 2 restaurants. Never went to the pay restaurants. I noticed on this cruise that we had a More hard time/language barrier with most of the crew. Most of them did not understand us. Also some of the crew not very friendly/serviceable like in other cruises we have taken. One major con: The itinarry was changed and we were not informed. When I asked the front desk about it, they said they could chg itinarry if need be but did not give us reason why. If I had booked a private tour on cozumel like I wanted to it would have royally messed me up since we were suppose to be there on tuesday and arrived there monday. I usually book all my tours through independent and not the cruise lines, thank heavens they were all sold out for the tour I wanted to take. We originally were suppose to have been in cayman on monday and cozumel on tuesday. We were in cozumel on monday and in cayman on tuesday; also the hours on the islands was cut short. I have been on alot of cruises and never has the itinarry change. Weather was great(not a factor) and seas were smooth.
If you visit Cayman you must do the stingray/beach tour which is awesome and the highlight. Book thru independent and save money. In cozumel we booked the Salsa and Salsa tour which was great. I was surprised to find out that this tour is only offered thru the cruise line (nobody had mention this).
I love Princess' under the Stars theatre. We got to watch the Playoffs all day sunday while in the pool and got to see many movies/concerts under the stars. They give you blankets, popcorn, cookies, love it. Didnt get to see most of the shows because we hung out mainly in the casino, but the comedian was good. All in all it was a great cruise and I would def recommend Princess and the Ruby. Less

Is Kristen Stewart Pregnant With Robert Pattinson's Baby?!?!
Robert Pattinson's rumored secret lover, Kristen Stewart, should consider going into hiding. She's already getting hate mail from Twilighters for dating the sexy vampire man. Now, an Australian tabloid is reporting that Stewart is actually carrying R-Patz's baby. The paper's source said, "When [Stewart] worked out she was late, she obviously started to thinking that she could be pregnant. And because of the timing, she thinks Rob could be the father." A picture of Stewart rocking a baby bump is also shown. Of course, there's no word yet from the reps on whether this is true. But what do you think about the possibility of a "New Moon" love child?

A recent shift in the pattern of commercial harvest in the Keppel Island region of the southern inshore Great Barrier Reef raises concern about the depletion of a number of relatively rare restricted range taxa. The shift appears to be driven by demand from the United States (US) for corals for domestic aquaria. Data from the annual status reports from the Queensland Coral Fishery were compared with export trade data to the US from the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). Evidence was found of recent increases in the harvest of species from the Mussidae family (
Declining coral diversity on many of the world's coral reefs [
The world marine aquarium trade is growing, driven mainly by demand for live specialty corals for domestic aquaria supplied primarily by stock collected from Indo-Pacific reefs. The trade has shifted over the past decade from supplying mainly fish, to supplying a wide range of invertebrates such as corals, mollusks and crustaceans. The number of specimens of live specialty corals being traded has increased from 10% of the total world coral trade in 1985 to 90% in 1997 [
A commercial coral harvest industry has operated on the reefs along the Queensland coast in Australia since the 1980s. In 1983, the Queensland Coral Fishery (QCF) comprised 12 active collectors; two of which collected 65% of the total annual catch of 45 t from just four coral families. Seventy percent of the total catch comprised the ornamental
The Keppels is a system of ∼12 km2 of coastal island fringing reefs near what is generally considered the southern-most extent of strong calcium carbonate accretion on the GBR. Compared to the main coral collection area near Cairns, which has extensive mid- and outer-shelf reefs, the area of reef targeted by collectors in the Keppels is small and isolated from the influence of other reef systems [
In this study data from the annual QCF reports and CITES exports were reviewed to investigate evidence for localized depletion of targeted species that might also be related to changing market trends. The study focuses on the Keppels (23.1°S, 150.9°E,
Information from the CITES trade database and from the annual status reports of the QCF were used to assess the market trends in the supply from the Keppels. The CITES trade database contains trade records that signatory Parties to the Convention compile annually on the trade of wild flora and fauna, including corals. The database can be a useful tool for assessing trends in trade volumes. The database is managed by the World Conservation Monitoring Centre, Cambridge, United Kingdom, on behalf of the CITES Secretariat [
Data on the collection of corals in the Keppels were sourced from the CFISH database and Annual Status Reports from the Queensland Coral Fishery (QCF) published by the Queensland's Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation [
Catch statistics sourced from the QCF for the Keppels were reviewed in the context of exports from Australia to the US which were sourced from CITES. Comparisons of catch and export data focused on four of the reported taxonomic groups for the quota years 2006/07, 2007/08 and 2008/09;
Between 2006 and 2009 there were several significant changes in the collection trends in the Keppels. The harvest of specialty corals increased over the three years prior to 2009 from ∼20, 400 to ∼28, 400 pieces. The proportion of this catch that comprised LPS increased from 68% in 2006/07 to 77% in 2007/08 and 84% in 2008/09 (
In 2009, the number of specimens harvested from approximately half of the 28 reported groups of specialty corals in the Keppels increased by >30% compared to the average for the previous two years and about half the reported groups decreased by >30% (
The catch of Mussidae increased by 205% to 12,298 specimens in 2008/09 compared to the average for the previous two-year period (4,036 specimens,

Over the past decade, the collection of corals by the QCF from the Keppel Bay Islands has changed from the collection of large specimens of mainly dead corals for ornamental purposes to small pieces of live, vibrantly colored LPS that are popular for domestic aquaria. In 1998, for instance, only 163 kg of Mussidae corals were collected in the Keppels but by 2006/07 this had reached 447 kg and by 2008/09 catch had exceeded 12, 000 pieces weighing more than 1,300 kg [
To be sustainable, collection of whole colonies or fragments of colonies must not exceed the rate at which the corals can regenerate by recruitment or regrowth. For example, for a growth rate of ∼3.0 cm yr−1 and natural mortality of −0.34 based on
A coral fishery has existed in the Keppels for over 20 years, but little is known about harvest of species other than acroporid and pocilliporid corals prior to 2006. As recently as 2001, annual licenses only allowed collection from 200–400 m designated areas restricted to the reef edges [
It is important to note that trends in global market demand for aquarium species may be changing so fast that managers cannot respond effectively. The time-frame for review of annual harvest is nearly two years. Log books are submitted at the end of the quota year but annual reports can take up to a year to complete. If the harvest data reveal that reference points have been triggered, a review of the management arrangements is conducted within three months [
Wild harvest fisheries are becoming increasingly more aware of the need to demonstrate sustainability in the context of the conservation and protection of biodiversity. In Australia, the industry recently introduced self-regulation initiatives [
Compared to other Indo-Pacific countries such as Indonesia, Australia is resource-rich, has a lower population and less of an economic need for wild harvest of marine species. In 1985, the value of each license was $7600 and the industry employed the equivalent of 12 full-time employees [
Many of the coral species targeted by the QCF in the Keppels are found at very restricted locations within specific depths and environmental conditions and comprise <0.01% of the coral cover (based on data from the Australian Institute of Marine Science). It is possible that the targeted corals occur in higher abundance in small isolated pockets which are known only to collectors. However, if this were true then it is even further cause for alarm as there is a likelihood that such pockets are largely self-seeding. These factors make such species more vulnerable to over-exploitation as systematic harvest can result in the removal of almost all specimens in an area. Regeneration must necessarily therefore come from recruitment from unharvested areas that are within oceanographic range. These "refugia" are logically more likely to exist in deeper waters that are less likely to be affected by disturbance. In the Philippines, controls on the maximum depth limit for coral collection have meant that unharvested deepwater populations acted as reproductive reservoirs for shallow water recruitment and maintenance of sustainable harvest yields [
Fundamental to the effective management of ecologically sustainable fisheries is having appropriate information available to make informed decisions as even moderate amounts of non-destructive aquarium extraction can negatively affect targeted populations [
This study investigated a recent change in the commercial harvest of corals on inshore reefs in the Keppel Islands region of the southern Great Barrier Reef which appears to be driven by the US market demand for domestic aquaria. The results strongly suggest that the current management regime is no longer appropriate given the significant changes in market demand which is now focused on vibrantly colored stony corals with large polyps (LPS). These taxa are typically slow-growing and sparse compared to the fast growing and abundant acroporid and pocilloporid species which were the focus of the industry in the past. Without an effective, locally relevant monitoring and management regime, there is a risk that continued harvest levels may eventually cause local and even regional extinctions without triggering a management response. Even in the event of management intervention such as reduced species-specific quotas, for slow-growing species the loss may be long-term. Such extinctions could negatively impact reef stability by removing some of the key functional species groups. While these are not typically considered reef "builders", they are stress-tolerant functional groups, the loss of which could tip the balance of these reefs from highly functionally diverse, stable systems to mono-specific stands of fast growing "weedy" species that are more susceptible to invasion by macro-algae, soft corals and unwanted "pest" species. To avoid the risk of local extinctions of these taxa, the fishery must now undergo a shift away from wild harvest to aquaculture if it is to be ecologically sustainable.

Softball Falls Short In Upset Bid Of #5/6 Missouri
TROY, Ala. - - Despite a solid all-around effort, the Ball State softball team fell one run short in its upset bid over No. 5/6 Missouri, falling to the Tigers 3-2 Friday in its second game of the 2012 Quality Inn Classic hosted by Troy University at the Troy Softball Complex.
Trailing 3-0 entering the seventh inning, Ball State (1-1) tallied a pair of one-out runs, only to have Missouri (1-0) pitcher Kristin Nottelmann strikeout the final two batters with bases loaded.
Ball State sophomore first baseman Taylor Rager led all batters, going a perfect 3-for-3 and drawing a walk. She was the only player on either squad to post multiple hits as both teams finished the contest with five. BSU also drew nine walks, including three from senior designated player/catcher Amanda Montalto.
In her first appearance of the season, senior right-handed pitcher Audrey Workman limited the potent Missouri offense to just five hits and three earned runs over six innings of work. She also recorded a strikeout while walking four batters.
Nottelmann was credited with the win after giving up five hits and two runs (one earned) in seven innings of work. She struck out seven batters and walked nine.
The Cardinals had chances to score in each of the first three innings, only to strand a pair of runners in all three. In the first, Rager hit a two-out single and Montalo drew a walk before an inning-ending fly out.
In the second, a walk by junior catcher Sadie Robertson and a single from freshman second baseman Taylor Cox gave BSU two base runners with one out, but a strikeout and an infield fly ended the threat.
Rager added another single in the third, while a two-out walk to third baseman Audrey Bickel put two runners on. This time a fielder's choice to third ended the rally.
After being held hitless in the first two innings, the Tigers found their bats in the bottom of the third scoring three runs on three hits to pull ahead 3-0. With one out and runners at first and second, a RBI double from Nicole Hudson opened the scoring.
Ashley Fleming followed with run-scoring single, while Kelsea Roth drew a bases loaded walk two batters later to push the score to 3-0. However, some strong defense from freshman shortstop Jessica Craft triggered an inning-ending double play.
In a pinch hit effort, freshman Loren Cihlar led off the sixth inning with a double, while Lauren Schroeder drew a pinch hit walk to put runners at first and second. Unfortunately, a double play and a strikeout ended the BSU rally.
After Workman retired the Tigers in order to close out the sixth, the Cardinals fought back in the top half of the seventh. Sophomore left fielder Jennifer Gilbert drew a one-out walk to start a rally, while Rager came up with her third single to put runners at first and second.
After Montalto drew a walk to load the bases, Bickel helped plate two runs when she reached base on an error by the Missouri center fielder which allowed both Gilbert and Rager to score, cutting the lead to 3-2. With runners at second and third, Craft drew a walk to load the bases once again. Unfortunately, Missouri's Nottelmann struck out the next two batters to end the BSU rally and the game.
Due to inclement weather forecasted to move into the Troy area Saturday, there has been a change to the remainder of the Quality Inn Classic schedule. Ball State will now open the second day of competition versus Nicholls State at 8:30 a.m. (CT) at the Troy Sportsplex.BSU will return to the Troy Softball Complex later in the morning for a scheduled 11 a.m. first pitch versus tournament host Troy. BSU's game versus Eastern Kentucky Sunday morning has been moved to an 8:30 a.m. start and will be played at the Troy Softball Complex.

Dark Souls PC Dev Responds To DRM Backlash
Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition is incoming on PC, although the game's use of DRM security has led to an uproar among the PC gaming community.
NowGamer quizzed Dark Souls PC developer From Software about the decision at a recent Namco Bandai showcase event.
Publishing producer Daisuke Uchiyama exlained, "As for Games For Windows, that's the established server that we used for the Xbox 360 version of the game. So that is the main reason we chose Games For Windows again. The partnership is still on going and we might have another announcement in regards to the platform."
Game director Hidetaka Miyazaki explained the need to crack down on piracy, "We had the issue with the game selling in advance on consoles before the release date. We need to prevent that situation."
Miyazaki also explained that Dark Souls on PC is in fact, a straight port of the console version, "As for improvements to graphics and such, they are not planned at this point. A we said, this is a straight port of the console version."

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
By Gary Pitre, Toshiba Imaging Systems Division
New solutions in scientific imaging and diagnostics are being augmented by high-definition three-chip or 3CCD digital technology, particularly in the world of microscopy. The wealth of color information provided in 3-chip, high-definition cameras offers a tremendous advantage in the amount of critical data that now can be seen and recognized, especially when compared with older, single-chip color-camera technology. In the hospital, pathologists are viewing cells and tissue with better contrast and more color accuracy than ever before, giving them a new advantage in their life-saving work. This article will discuss advances in the world of three-chip color imaging and report on the latest high-definition imaging systems for microscopy.
There are far fewer 3CCD camera manufacturers than there are single-chip suppliers in today's market because this technology is much more specialized and thus more expensive. Single-chip area scan cameras use a single sensor that is covered by a color filter with a fixed, repetitive pattern. To reconstruct a complete color image, interpolation is needed. The red, green and blue information is interpolated across several adjacent cells to determine the total color content of each individual cell, therefore providing less color accuracy than 3CCD (Figure 1). By contrast, three-chip cameras contain three separate image sensors and a prism that divides the incoming light rays into their red, green and blue components. Each individual chip then receives a single color at full resolution, therefore providing the best color accuracy available (Figure 2).
Prior to HD digital imaging, tumor boards, pathology rounds and teaching facilities used multi-head microscopes to allow groups of physicians or students to view microscope information simultaneously. For the past 10 years or so, conventional methods of group viewing, discussing and analyzing tissue slides and other specimens have been accomplished in three ways. One method is to connect a live, low-resolution camera, CRT TV or projector to a microscope.
This mode often produces poorer quality images due to camera, projector or display monitor limitations, particularly at low magnifications. Another technique is to view specimen slides through a multi-head microscope that a small handful of pathologists or doctors can look through�this method has limitations based on the finite number of actual observation tubes available. Currently, most pathologists have a microscope at their desk and many of them employ a specialized digital camera engineered for microscopy that can be mounted to the microscope. This allows the pathologist to capture "field of view" images that are stored and then can be exported into a PowerPoint presentation. The problem with this current method is that the images are previously captured and they are unable to view a live image. During a tumor board discussion, if the pathologists wish to view the specimen at a different magnification than what was previously captured, they are out of luck. Additionally, most pathologists and clinicians are extremely busy people who would prefer doing what they do best, which is diagnosing, rather than spending their time taking photos and creating PowerPoint presentations.
Sharing live pathology slide information now is possible and available at high resolution and at 30 frames per second. Presenting a live image of the specimen to the pathologist(s) offers an enormous advantage and the flexibility to view the specimen at various magnifications. This valuable and time-saving tool is due to recent advances in imaging technology, making it easier than ever for a group of clinicians and/or pathologists to view a live specimen simultaneously and at the highest possible image resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels). Toshiba Imaging (Irvine, Calif.) and Olympus Canada (Markham, Ontario, Canada) recently developed an advanced digital imaging system for tumor boards, clinical rounds and the university classroom. The new Synergy-HD Imaging System pairs Toshiba's proprietary prism block 3CCD and high-def imaging technology with Olympus' microscopy expertise, resulting in an easy to use, extremely precise, microscopy system that can be viewed on a 42-inch or 47-inch LCD hi-def display. The high-contrast imagery is produced in real time at 30 fps and can be viewed from nearly any angle in the classroom or auditorium. The HD camera performs the necessary processing to recreate the advanced color fidelity and the extraordinary image detail that can only be achieved through high definition digital imaging quality.

Scientists believe that your brain has a built-in "negativity bias." In other words, as we evolved over millions of years, dodging sticks and chasing carrots, it was a lot more important to notice, react to, and remember sticks than it was for carrots.That's because - in the tough environments in which our ancestors lived - if they missed out on a carrot, they usually had a shot at another one later on.

About Me
I began professional photography about 30 years ago and owned a full service brick and mortar studio (advertising, commercial, portfolio, portrait, wedding, etc) in the Midwest for a number of years.
Update June 2014 - My wife and I moved back to Wisconsin and I look forward to again working with models here. We may return to Las Vegas on occasion and I hope to work with Las Vegas models if we do.
A few years ago my wife and I moved to Las Vegas where I focused on fine art, landscape, portfolio, and portrait work. I have very reasonable rates and would also entertain a discussion of trade (TFP, etc) in some instances. While I only shoot a handful of TF* each year (like most people, paid work takes priority), I always have specific ideas that I would like to work on and shooting TF* is rewarding and fun. Therefore, if I ask you it is because there is a definite purpose. And, don't be shy about asking me. If I have time, you never know when something about you fits into one of my ideas. Also, I like to hear others ideas. Collaboration is fun and sometimes leads to something better than either person thought of.
I have had the good fortune to work with a number of wonderful models on MM and I thank you. I try to welcome everyone new to MM (in Nevada, Wisconsin, and Illinois) as a friendly "Hello". Also I browse often while relaxing and try to comment when I have time and something grabs my attention. I also note certain models portfolios to come back to and see what they add new. Photography is truly a passion with me and I enjoy almost all aspects of it.
Thank you for looking at my work and I look forward to any comments.

I'm not one of those conservatives who believes all progress — horseless carriages, Velcro, the iPhone— is an abomination, or that our great-grandfathers had it made when they went out wearing spats and morning coats.
Humanity is engaged in constant experimentation, technology improves and evolves and sometimes we hit on solutions that really work and then promptly abandon those solutions for the next shiny object.
I'm thinking about this after reading last weekend's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story about Marinette Marine, one of the Badger State's few defense contractors. Marinette offers high-end training in such trades as welding. Through an innovative deal with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, those Marinette students can apply their training toward an associates degree, while building ships at the company's shipyards, vessels like the U.S. Navy's new littoral combat ships.
It's a win-win-win — except for the guys on the business end of the U.S. Navy's incoming. But as the Journal reported, Marinette is struggling to fill a 40-person training program. They reached out to nine area high schools and were able to get just seven recruits. The class starts in July.
You can corroborate this evidence of a talent shortage in the 39,000 listings on the state Department of Workforce Development's Job Center website. There are offerings for good-paying, skilled occupations like electricians, plumbers, welders and mechanics — jobs that a few decades ago were like a family inheritance passed down from generation to generation.
And this no mere blip on the occupational radar.
"I was very amazed at how much of a downturn the trades have taken over the last several decades," Phillip Henslee, Marinette's HR director told the Journal Sentinel.
Last December, Wisconsin Reporter bureau chief M.D. Kittle wrote on what is called the "skills gap" by human resource managers and other workforce placement services like Manpower, Inc.
The problem may begin in high schools that no longer produce students for trade jobs and which focus instead on driving students invariably toward college. In his 2008 book "Real Education," American Enterprise Institute scholar Charles Murray wrote that "college is not for everyone," and prodded America's high schools to begin acknowledging that reality.
Murray believes that high schools should reconsider implementing the old system of tracking in public education. In traditional education tracks, students are placed on a career path based on their educational abilities and personal interests. The purpose seems obvious: to prepare students for life after high school.
Students with the highest academic abilities were placed in the academic track — prepared for college and beyond — while students with lower academic abilities were placed in a track meant to lead them toward vocational jobs.
Tracking in American public schools ended when it was identified as a possible cause of low self-esteem in children on the lower track.
So tracking ended, replaced with a system designed to drive as many kids as possible to four-year colleges and bachelor's degrees. Kids who might have been highly skilled and well-paid trades people found themselves bored in academic courses — poor performers who left high school with bad grades, low self-confidence, and joblessness. In the meantime, the push toward college may have helped inflate a "higher education bubble" as the price of college rose while the economic return on a college degree plummeted.
I'm not saying people who want to go to college shouldn't go. I am saying that those involved in the decision — parents, educators, and the kids themselves — must be as ready as possible for the academic and economic realities they are about to face. Do they have the academic muscle to succeed at college? Do they have the financial means to pay for it — including the debt associated with loans? Do their career goals even require a four-year degree?
The current system urging a path toward college may be setting up hundreds of thousands of young people for both failure as well as substantial debt with no means to pay it back. Meanwhile, Wisconsin manufacturers fight one another for the limited supply of high-end blue-collar workers.
To fill jobs, companies recruit each other's employees.
That's a lose-lose for America.
Mark Kaiser, president of Lindquist Machine Corp. in Green Bay, told the Journal-Sentinel, "If we don't find enough talent, the fact is we are not going to be able to grow our businesses."

So the Dead go west after May 2nd!! Looking for a Dead show the following weekend for only $15 in advance $20 @ the door? KIC Productions presents Melvin Seals & JGB SATURDAY 5-9-09 @ ZPak Live Home of Va Brew Co. We are at the Northern most part of VA 15 min from MD & WV. Come catch JGB yes the real JGB (- Jerry of course). Get more details @ www.myspace.com/zeropak or www.ZEROPAKLIVE.com
Melvin is best known for his long friendship and musical partnership with cultural icon and guitarist Jerry Garcia and the smile of his that lights up the room. Melvin spun his B-3 magic with the Jerry Garcia Band for 18 years and in doing so helped pioneer and define what has now become "Jam Band Music". From blues to funk to rock to jazz, Melvin Seals serves up a tasty mix with a little R&B and gospel thrown in to spice things up. Melvin and JGB brings an intuitive, expressive style, soul, spontaneity and remarkable chops to the table. With acoustic and electric ingredients and unique combinations of guitar, mandolin, slide and lap steel with savory bass, hearty drums and, of course, a heapin' helpin' of the wizard's magic on Hammond B-3 Organ and keyboards, the result is a most satisfying blend of natural organic grooves that challenges genre boundaries. Their chemistry is the focus from which they create a spontaneous and high art where the sky is the limit musically. They offer an exciting, often psychedelic musical journey that keeps audiences dancing and smiling (and some staring in amazement) for several hours. Melvin is pioneering a path deeper into the musical territory he helped to establish.
ABB on 3/19 was pretty good as well
And on 3/26, they played the first two albums in order and encored with statesboro blues
ABB with Clapton.

Orpheum, Boston 11/16/99. He closed but co-headlined with Lucinda Williams, and both sets smoked. Richard's solos were unbelievable on "Hard on Me."
Lupo's, Providence 7/23/03. Maybe 400 people there, this one showed up as his Live in Providence DVD, available on his website. We keep throwing around guitarist's names in theses forums (mostly, though, as who should "replace" Jerry which is a fun but fruitless debate)....this guy is my favorite guitarist. Actually, my favorite singer-songwriter-guitarist.
Listened to a live "Jennie" on the morning commute, one of my favorite song-opening lines:
"Trouble becomes you, it cuts you down to my size."
Jackie Greene came to free venue in the little city of Driggs, ID at a festival called Music on Main which is a free concert every Thursday in the summers in Driggs, ID. and man Jackie Greene just played so well. it was exactly what this little town needed. This town consists mainly of bluegrass music which is also great but once in a while it is really nice to hear some nice rock like this. he mixed the genre of music so well, with some faster paced songs using the electric guitar to more slower songs with his big ol' Gibson acoustic guitar, he did so well even coverd some Dead tunes really well and got that crowd young and old non-stop dancing. Great show,
