The Invasion of Tropical Fruit Flies
Professor James R. Carey of the UC Davis Department of Entomology will tell you why.
He will discuss the invasion of tropical fruit flies in California at his seminar from 12:05 to 1 p.m., Wednesday, April 3 in Room 1022 of the Life Sciences Addition, corner of Hutchison and Kleiber Hall drives.
Carey's seminar, titled "From Trickle to Flood: The Large-Scale, Cryptic Invasion of California by Tropical Fruit Flies," is the first in the department's spring-quarter seminar series. It's open to all interested persons, and it will be recorded and available for later viewing on UCTV.
"Despite aggressive and costly efforts by government agencies to prevent their introduction, establishment and spread, California has experienced an inexorable march of tropical fruit flies (Tephritidae) into the state with three-fold more species detected and thousands more flies captured than in all other mainland U.S. states combined," Carey says.
"Since 1954 when the first fly was detected a total of 17 species in 4 genera and 11,386 individuals (adults/larvae) have been detected at over 3,348 locations in 330 cities. My colleagues and I conclude from spatial mapping analyses of historical capture patterns and modeling that, despite the approximately 250 emergency eradication projects that have been directed against these pests by state and federal agencies, a minimum of 5 and as many as 9 or more tephritids are established and widespread. This list includes three of the most economically-important species in the world—the Mediterranean, Mexican and oriental fruit flies."
In his seminar, Carey will "outline and discuss the evidence for our conclusions with particular attention to the incremental, chronic, and insidious nature of the invasion involving ultra-small, barely-detectable populations. I will consider the more general implications of our results in scientific, economic, and operational contexts of invasion biology, as well as ethical issues concerned with the purposeful obfuscation of historical fruit fly detection data at individual, administrative and institutional levels."
Carey, former vice chair of the Department of Entomology, focuses his research on insect demography, mortality dynamics, and insect invasion biology. He received his bachelor and master of science degrees from Iowa State University (1973; 1975) and his doctorate in entomology from UC Berkeley (1980).
Highly recognized, he is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Gerontological Society of America, the California Academy of Sciences, and the Entomological Society of America.
Carey is a noted authority on the invasion of the tropical fruit flies. He served on the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Medfly Scientific Advisory Panel from 1987-1994, testified to the California Legislature "Committee of the Whole" in 1990 on the Medfly Crisis in California, and authored the paper "Establishment of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly in California" (1992, Science 258, 457).

He'll Give the Leigh Distinguished Seminar
This year's recipient is Marc Tatar, an authority on the aging of insects.
Tatar, a professor in the Division of Biology and Medicine at Brown State University, Providence, R.I., will speak on "Integrated Control of Drosophila Aging by Insulin/IGF (Insulin-Like Growth Factor) Signaling" at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 5 in Ballroom A of the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC), UC Davis campus. Prior to the presentation, a wine and cheese reception will take place from 5 to 6 p.m. outside of Ballroom A.
The event is open to all interested persons, said James R. Carey, UC Davis professor of entomology, who will introduce his former student. The presentation will be recorded for later posting on the UCTV seminars.
Tatar has studied the demography, evolution and genetics of aging working with a variety of insect systems to explore the regulation and basic mechanisms of life history traits and senescence. The current work in the Tatar laboratory focuses on genetic analysis of Drosophila to understand how insulin/IGF signals and lipid hormones regulate aging, and how these endocrine signals interact with nutrition.
Tatar received his doctorate in ecology from UC Davis in 1994 while with the Graduate Group in Ecology, working in James Carey's laboratory. Tatar obtained his bachelor's degree in biology in 1980 from Earlham College, Richmond, Ind., and went on to receive his master's degree in zoology from UC Davis in 1984. He completed postdoctoral research in genetics at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul before joining the Brown University faculty in 1997. He was promoted to professor in 2007.
While at UC Davis, Tatar was the 1994 recipient of the Merton Love Award for his Outstanding Dissertation in Ecology and Evolution. He is an Ellison Senior Scholar, founding joint editor-in-chief of the journal Aging Cell, and a past member of the Board of Review Editors for Science.
The Leigh seminar memorializes cotton entomologist Thomas Frances Leigh (1923-1993), an international authority on the biology, ecology and management of arthropod pests affecting cotton production. During his 37-year UC Davis career, Leigh was based at the Shafter Research and Extension Center, also known as the U.S. Cotton Research Station. He researched pest and beneficial arthropod management in cotton fields, and host plant resistance in cotton to insects, mites, nematodes and diseases.
Leigh, who joined the UC Davis Department of Entomology in 1958, retired in 1991 as an emeritus professor, but he continued to remain active in his research and collaboration until his death on Oct. 26, 1993.
At Shafter, Leigh focused his research on the biology, ecology, host plant resistance, control and management of insects and spider mites on cotton. He stood at the forefront of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) of cotton pests, according to an article in the summer 1994 edition of American Entomologist. He taught courses on cotton IPM and host plant resistance.
In his memory, his family and associates set up the Leigh Distinguished Alumni Seminar Entomology Fund at the UC Davis Department of Entomology. When his wife, Nina, died in 2002, the alumni seminar became known as the Thomas and Nina Distinguished Alumni Seminar.
Thanks to the Leigh family, outstanding UC Davis alumni return to campus to share their accomplishments.
Professor Marc Tatar of Brown State University, Providence, R.I., will deliver the Thomas and Nina Leigh Distinguished Alumni Seminar at UC Davis on Dec. 5.
Superorganisms, Mimicry and Aphids
Those are some of the topics to be covered at the UC Davis Department of Entomology's fall noonhour seminars, to begin Wednesday, Oct. 17 and continue through Wednesday, Nov. 28 in Room 1022 of the Life Sciences Building.
Assistant professors Joanna Chiu and Brian Johnson of the UC Davis Department of Entomology are coordinating the fall noonhour seminars.
All seminars will be held every Wednesday except for Nov. 14. No seminar will be held that day. That's during the Entomological Society of America's annual meeting, which will take place Nov. 11-14 in Knoxville, Tenn.
The good news is that if you cannot attend these seminars, not to worry. Professor James R. Carey is arranging the videotaping of the seminars. They will be be broadcast at a later date on UCTV. Meanwhile, if you missed any of the previous ones, most can be accessed on UCTV.
For free.
Oct. 17: Tim Linksvayer, assistant professor, University of Pennsylvania.
Title: "Colony-Level Social Insect Gene Regulatory Networks"
Host: Brian Johnson, assistant professor of entomology
Oct. 24: Micky Eubanks, professor, Texas A&M University
Title: "Community Ecology of a "Pest": Aphids Rule their World via Powerful Indirect Effects"
Host: Graduate student Billy Kimmel
Oct. 31: Sarjeet Gill, professor, UC Riverside
Title: "Bacterial Toxins in Disease Mosquito Vector Control"
Host: Bruce Hammock, distinguished professor of entomology
Nov. 7: Taro Ohkawa, postdoctoral researcher, UC Berkeley
Title: "Baculovirus Manipulation of the Host Actin Cytoskeleton: Roles in Entry and Egress"
Host: George Kamita from the Bruce Hammock lab
Nov. 14: No seminar this week (Entomological Society of America's annual meeting)
Nov. 28: James Mallet, professor, Harvard University
Title: "Hybridization, Mimicry and the Origin of Species in Heliconius
Host: Gregory Lanzaro, professor, UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine
The first speaker, evolutionary biologist Tim Linksvayer, will focus on superorganisms. Honey bees are considered superorganisms.
"Despite these conspicuous superorganismal properties and the inherent hierarchical organization of life in insect societies (i.e. colony-level, organismal-level), most previous studies of the evolutionary genetic and molecular basis of social insect traits use the same reductionist approaches that have been developed for solitary organisms, where an individual's traits are only influenced by its own genome. More realistically, in social organisms, an individual's traits are the property of the genomes of all social group members. I will discuss ongoing integrative research studying how social interactions in ants and honey bees affect the expression and evolution of individual- and group-level traits."
Stay tuned!

Honey of an Event!
James R. Carey, professor of entomology at the UC Davis Department of Entomology (the department co-sponsored the event), webcast the six talks presented by either current or retired UC Davis professors. The videos are now on UCTV; here's the link to the Honey! index page.
Did we say "free?" Free.
Carey is a firm believer that UC seminars ought to be shared with not only UC affiliates but with the general public. (Read about how and why he spearheaded the 10-campus project.)
Meanwhile, you can learn about bees from some of the country's best: two UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty and one emeritus. Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen discussed "The Wonder of Honey Bees" and later presented a talk about honey and honey tasting.
Assistant professor Brian Johnson--he researches the behavior, evolution, and genetics of honey bees--covered "Honey Bee Communication: How Bees Use Teamwork to Make Honey" and emeritus professor Norman Gary, a scientist, author and professional bee wrangler, convinced us why we should consider "Hobby Beekeeping in Urban Environments." After all, he's been keeping bees for 64 years!
Then Louis Grivetti, professor emeritus in the nutrition department, strode to the podium to tell us "Historical Uses of Honey as Food"--you won't believe all the things he said in his well-researched talk! Liz Applegate, nutrition professor and director of the Sport Nutrition Program," followed with "Sweet Success: Honey for Better Health and Performance."
By the end of the day, the crowd agreed with Mussen that "Honey bees are truly marvelous." And with Johnson who pointed out: "Bees have small brains but can solve big problems."
A nice addition: a honey-tasting contest judged by the attendees. The winner? An oh-so-good clover honey from Sacramento Beekeeping Supplies. The honey (yes, it's available for sale at the 2110 X St. business), was produced by the Jones Bee Company, Salt Lake City. Second place went to Alan Pryor of Alameda; and third place, Diane Kriletich of Paloma, Calaveras County.
"It was a sweet day all in all," said coordinator Clare Hasler-Lewis, executive director of RMI.
Indeed it was!

Fevers from the Forest
Dengue is one of them.
Dengue, transmitted by the daybiting Aedes aegypti mosquito, globally infects 50 to 100 million people yearly, according to dengue expert Tom Scott, professor of entomology at UC Davis. At risk are some 2.5 to 3 billion people, primarily in tropical and sub-tropical countries. The most severe form of the disease, dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), strikes half a million a year and kills an estimated 5 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Those alarming statistics are why scientists like Scott and Kathryn "Kathy" Hanley devote their lives to studying the emergence and control of dengue.
Hanley will speak on "Fevers from the Forest: Dynamics of Sylvatic Dengue Virus and Chikungunya Virus in their Primate Hosts and Mosquito Vectors in Southeastern Senegal from 12:10 to 1 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 30 in 122 Briggs Hall.
Scott will introduce Hanley, an associate professor at New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, and now on sabbatical (she's working in the Scott lab).
The Hanley lab investigates the molecular biology, evolution and ecology of emerging RNA viruses like dengue and influenza, with the goal of using this basic knowledge to design better methods to control the spread of these dangerous pathogens.
Abstract of Her Talk:
"Mosquito-borne dengue virus exists in two ecologically and evolutionarily distinct transmission cycles: an ancestral sylvatic cycle in which the virus is transmitted between non-human primates and arboreal Aedes, and a derived human cycle in which the virus is transmitted by domestic and peridomestic Aedes, primarily Ae. aegypti. This seminar will present current research on the evolutionary and ecological factors that promote, and constrain, the emergence of sylvatic dengue virus into transmission among humans."--Kathryn Hanley.
Kathryn Hanley, who joined New Mexico State University as an assistant professor of biology in 2004 and was promoted to associate professor in 2010, says she is a proud native of New Jersey, and "yes, I stand by that statement." She received her bachelor of arts degree from Amherst College where she majored in biology and minored in English poetry. After graduating magna cum laude, she entered a Ph.D. program at UC San Diego. Her dissertation research on host-parasite interactions in parthenogenetic lizard species involved fieldwork across the islands of the South Pacific. Hanley received her Ph.D in biology in 1994, and subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at UC Davis, the University of Maryland and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
She credits NIH for initiating her investigation of the emergence and control of dengue virus that remains the focus of her research today.
The Scott lab was recently featured on National Public Radio. The lab's research on daily temperature fluctuations drew international attention last April when the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published that work. The research, Scott said, helped explain why dengue increases during certain times of the year in "tropical areas where mosquito-borne diseases inflict an enormous burden on human health."
If you miss Hanley's lecture, you can probably view it on UCTV. Professor James R. Carey is recording research seminars and posting them on UCTV.

U.S. stocks closed modestly higher Wednesday as investors welcomed improved reports on the U.S economy, but gains were tempered by concerns about growth in Europe and Asia.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.1%, while the S&P 500 added 0.3%. The Nasdaq gained 0.5%.
After a strong run in the third quarter, investors are now looking for the next catalyst to drive stock prices, said Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at BTIG. "You need to see a sustained pick-up in economic data and more positive news out of Europe," he said.
The modest gains Wednesday came after payroll processor ADP said the nation gained 162,000 private sector jobs in September. The report is considered a prelude to the government's closely watched monthly jobs data, which is due out this Friday. Investors are hoping to see a rebound in the labor market after last month's grim report.
An index of activity in the service sector of the economy rose for the 33rd month in a row, according to the Institute for Supply Management. In addition, the Mortgage Bankers Association's index, which measures mortgage applications, rose 16.6% for the week ended Sept. 28, up from the prior week's 2.8% increase.
Meanwhile, investors remain focused on Europe, specifically Spain, where there's mounting pressure for the nation to formally request a bailout. Late Tuesday, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said a bailout request was not imminent.
Oil prices fell 3% as weak economic data in China and Europe raised worries about global energy demand. The sell-off weighed on shares big oil companies and commodities producers. Chevron, Alcoa and Caterpillar were among the worst performing blue chips.
Hewlett-Packard was the worst performer on the Dow. Shares of the PC-maker fell nearly 13% after the company lowered its outlook for the fiscal year that ends in October 2013.
European stocks ended mixed. Britain's FTSE 100 gained 0.3%, while the DAX in Germany rose 0.2% and France's CAC 40 edged 0.2% lower. A survey of purchasing managers in the euro area fell in September, suggesting the region fell back into recession during the third quarter, according to data from Markit.
European Central Bank officials will meet Thursday for their monthly policy meeting in Frankfurt. Analysts do not expect ECB president Mario Draghi to announce any new programs, although he may elaborate on plans to buy government bonds.

Thank God that international break is over and done with. Premier League football is back with a bang, and with it has come a flood of brilliant boot spots. You can rely on Soccer Reviews to show you the best boot spots, week in week out, without fail, and not only do we guarantee being the first website on the planet to give you your weekly boot spotting fix, you always know we only include only the highest quality spots. Take a look at what caught our eye this week…
Danny Welbeck (Manchester United) – Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII
We have seen our fair share of boot switches this year, but it seems very few players have been able to permanently stick with a boot. While Danny Welbeck started the season in the Nike T90 Laser IV, he wore adidas miCoach F50 adiZero in training and made the switch a few weeks ago. Now Welbeck has moved on, this time to the ACC collection Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII against Stoke. That is the England striker's 3rd pair of boots this season, and it will be interesting to see how long this boot switch is going to last.
Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo) – Puma EvoSpeed I
It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month worldwide, and while adidas have let a few athletes customise their boots to promote a worthy cause (we will check out a few of those spots a bit later on), Puma actually released a brand new boot just for breast cancer awareness month. While many athletes have been very slow in updating their Puma EvoSpeed Is, Brian Ching has gone out of his way to get a hold of the special EvoSpeed I colour way.
Mesut Ozil (Real Madrid) – Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII
It was billed as one of the biggest boot switches of the season so far, but it seems Mesut Ozil's move to the adidas Predator LZ was little more than a flirt with the rival boot. The German appeared in Nike's 'My Time Is Now' commercial and was seen in the proceeding weeks wearing both Predator LZs and miCoach F50 adiZeros, but he came out wearing the ACC collection Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII. This suggests that Ozil perhaps did not sign a contract extension, but it will be interesting what happens over the next few weeks.
Mario Balotelli (Manchester City) – Nike CTR360 Maestri III
The new CTR360 Maestri III has been hugely popular, and we have seen flashes of black and yellow Nike football boots all over the pitches of Europe. The new White/Green/Volt colour way has been just as successful, and despite the Italian wearing the updated colour way for Italy during the international break, he strangely went back to the original launch colour way this weekend. It could be little more than Balotelli being superstitious, but Nike will be happy as long as he wears something from the CTR range.
Fredy Montero (Seattle Sounders) – adidas Predator LZ (Custom)
Remember how we mentioned Brian Ching is wearing a special pair of pink Puma EvoSpeed Is for Breast Cancer Awareness Month? adidas allowed some of their high profile athletes to do more than the average MLS footballer sticking pink laces on their boots and giving them access to their own miadidas football boots. Montero has kept a nice simple design for his adidas Predator LZs, and he also had his boots customised with his wife's name on the side of his boots.
Travis Dodd (Perth Glory) – Nike T90 Laser IV KL (Custom)
It is a design that might divide the masses, but we think Travis Dodd might have the coolest pair of boots ever. With hand painted aboriginal patterning, Travis Dodd is showing off his indigenous Australian roots with his customised pair of T90 Laser IVs. Travis Dodd is no stranger to having aboriginal inspired football boots, and it is fantastic to see a footballer go through the effort that Dodd has gone through.
Edgar Davids (Barnet) – Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII
Despite being 39 years old, retiring after his second spell with Ajax in 2008 then returning in 2010 to play with Crystal Palace in a pay-as-you-play deal, it seems Edgar Davids could not be kept from the football pitch again, sensationally coming out of retirement to join League 2 side Barnet as a player-manager. The Dutchman rolled back the years during his debut game against Northampton, and it would be strange to see Davids in anything but Nike boots. The seaweed Vapor VIII is the boot of choice for Davids as he settles in to life at Barnet.
Albert Adamoah (Bristol City) – Puma V1.815 Ferrari
We do not understand footballers who play in limited edition football boots. Okay, so maybe I am guilty in playing with my Nike GS on a regular basis, but they are not as rare as Albert Adamoah's Puma V1.815 Ferrari boots! Limited to only 815 pairs worldwide and weighing in at an incredible 165 grams, the V1.815 is the absolute epitome of a classy football boot. In a similar move, Puma will release a special edition Ducati EvoSpeed that will be released in a few months time, something we think will get many people excited.
Kenny Cooper (New York Red Bulls) – adidas Predator LZ (Custom)
While we cannot help but think that Kenny Cooper was not overly creative when creating his customised pair of Predator LZs for Breast Cancer Awareness Month (he might have taken a sneak peek at what Fredy Montero was designing), but Breast Cancer Awareness Month is virtually the only time of year where you can get away with wearing pink boots and not get criticised. It is fantastic to see these footballers come together for such a good cause.
Masoud Shojaei (Iran) – Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII
We always love it when a footballer gets creative when they customise their own football boots, but we cannot quite understand Masoud Shojaei's thinking here. NikeID boots can sometimes be the sleekest boots on the pitch (remember Masimo Paci's awesome whiteout Nike Tiempo Legend IVs a few weeks back?), but we have to go to the opposite end of the scale to mark Masoud Shoejaei's effort. Perhaps they match with his normal club kit, we are not too sure…
That is it for our boot spotting article this week. What was your favourite spot this week? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Fireworks within the Denver city limits are illegal this year, as has been the custom for several years. ^FREEDOM IS OUR BIRTHRIGHT Congressional Assemblies To Meet in Near Future Art Museum to Present Noted English Lecturer H. S. Ede, noted English author and lecturer on art, will be presented by the Denver art museum, under the auspices of the Cooke-Daniels Foundation, on Monday evening, July 6, at 8:15 o'clock. This is an illustrated lecture and will be free to the pub lie, in the main gallery of Chap pell House, 1300 Logan st. The subject of Mr. Ede's lecture will be "The National Gallery in Washington." The National Gallery was built and given to the nation by Andrew W. Mellon for the purpose of housing his own fine collection of paintings and sculpture. It includes, the most impressive names in the entire hi«tcry'of painting. Later, the Samuel H. Kress collection was added, which is devoted entirely to Italian art. These two collections rank in quality and range with the ten leading galleries in Europe. The museum, together with Mf. Mel- Ion's collection and endowment, forms the largest gift made by any citizen to any government in modern times, and it was Mr. Mellon's expressed wish that in time others would donate great works of art as a lasting contribution for the benefit of the public. The main gallery at Chappell House, in which Mr. Ede's lecture will be given, should be of especial interest to those who like to keep in touch with the current trend in art. At this time the forty-eighth annual exhibition of the Denver art museum is hung at Chappell House. This exhibition includes work by artists from all parts of the country, with strong representation from the Rocky Mountain region. Japs Inspect Malaya Ruins One hundred and sixty-six years ago a thirty-three year old man wrote a document which was destined to become immortal in the history of man's ascent toward perfection in self- government—the Declaration of independence. Inspired by his own convictions and the influence of some of his most brilliant contemporaries, young Jefferson set down in his vigorous style the spirit of a people who refused oppression and sought freedom. The nation that was built on that early foundation is now locked in combat with pirates of grandiose and ruthless ambitions, who can see nothing better for the edifice of Freedom than its total demolition. Blinded by their plundering greed, they have undertaken a dastardly program to tear it down, brick by brick. But they fail to realize that this tower of democracy is an everlasting building that cannot be torn down. The storms of the years have not crumbled its foundations or marred its beauty. Every stone in its walls is colored with the valor of patriots. Some bear the speckled imprint of blood and snow at Valley Forge. Some are washed by the waters of Lake Erie stirred up by Perry. Some are as rough- edged and rugged as the pioneers who built-the" West, while others glitter with- the polish of the East. A few bear the fingerprints of black men in bondage, and another row is stained by the tears of the man who liberated them. More are marked by the struggle for Liberty on foreign | soil in 1917 and 1918. The splendid structure of this j democracy is patterned by the I statesmen and inventors, the I philosophers and researchers. It is buttressed by the tradesmen ! and merchants, the farmers and I industrialists, the professionals | and public servants, the work- | men and armed forces. No plunderer can tear down this mansion of freedom and democracy, for the impregnable bricks that make its walls are cemented together by the mortar of unified loyalty, which will hold it against all who would try to reduce it to the rubbish heap. On Independence Day, 1776, Jefferson contended that "all men are endowed by their creator with inherent and inalienable rights . . ." On Independence Day, 19:2, we are fighting a vast, final conflict to prove it to the universe. Calls for meetings of the congressional assemblies are expected to be announced soon. State Chairman Byron Rogers of the Democratic party last week urged that the congressional assemblies, as far as possible, be held upon a separate day aside from the state assembly. Congressional comittees, under the party rules, are required to meet on the third Monday in June to set the date for the congressional assembly. Poetry Fellowship to Have Picnic Supper The July meeting of the Colorado Poetry Fellowship will be a round-up of poets for a picnic supper and informal program. Mr. and Mrs. Clive Senter will be hosts to the group at the Cherry farm, 6th ave. and Smith road, beginning at 4 p. m., Saturday, July 11. All reservations and transportation arrangements should be made with Mrs. Senter, phone CHerry 4821, not later than Thursday, July 9. To assure everyone of, a western welcome and a good time, Mrs. Senter, president of the Fellowship, has appointed the following committees: "At the chuck wagon," Dr. and Mrs. Paul Ket- rick, the Gus Centers and the Clive Senters; "To corral the dough," Katharine McNaul and Lenore Cooper; "To lasso the entertainment," Nelly Graf and Lenore Taylor. With the western locale and the food al fresco as a backdrop, Dr. Duncan Emrich will present his folklore collection of recordings of mining ballads and songs of the west; also some live talent in the person of a singing cowboy with a guitar. Dr. Edward Davison, director of the Writers' conference at Boulder, will announce the winner of the poetry contest for a scholarship award to the conference. Dr. Davison has set aside July 28 as Poetry day at the conference. This will include a poetry session at 4 <p. m., led by Witter Bynner, and at 8 p. m., in the University theater, a poetry recital by Richard Aldington, Carl Carmer, Witter Bynner, Edward Davison, Charles Edward Eaton and Thomas Hornsby Fer- ril.

Poll: RI Political Influencers Gauge Presidential Race Run in Ocean State
Rhode Island's Democratic and Republican political influencers take part in our final survey before election day.
In the race for President of the United States, influential Rhode Island political insiders have weighed in regarding who has run the better "ground game" in Rhode Island leading up to the election. According to our results, Democratic influencers felt Obama has run a better ground campaign by a wide margin while a majority of Republican influencers surveyed said the ground campaign up to this point has been even.
Patch surveyed 53 Republicans and 51 Democrats, asking regardless of their partisan preference, which presidential campaign do you think has run the better "ground game" campaign during the general election in Rhode Island? Among those who responded, 55.6% of Democrats said Barack Obama has run the better ground campaign by a wide margin. Another 22.2% said Obama won the ground campaign by a slim margin. However 11.1% of the Democrats surveyed felt Mitt Romney had a better ground campaign in Rhode Island, while another 11.1% said both were even.
Media Campaign
In our next survey question we asked our political influencers whom they thought ran the better advertising campaign across all media during the general election in Rhode Island. Among the Republican respondents, 53.3% said they were neutral on this question, feeling both candidates were even when it came to the media campaign in the state. Twenty-percent felt that Mitt Romney had the better media campaign by a wide margin. Another 13.3% felt Romney had the better media campaign by a slim margin, while another 13.3% felt Barack Obama had the better media campaign by a slim margin.
When we asked our Democratic influencers this same question, 44.4% felt the President has run a better media campaign in the Ocean State by a wide margin. Another 22.2% felt Obama had run a better media campaign by only a slim margin. Meanwhile another 22.2% felt Mitt Romney had a better media campaign by a slim margin. Eleven-point-one-percent felt it was even between the two candidates.
Electoral Votes: What's More Important
In our third question we asked our Republican influencers when it comes to winning Rhode Island's electoral votes, what will be more important: convincing "swing voters", "undecideds", "independents" to vote for Mitt Romney or turning out the GOP base. Overwhelmingly 85.7% said that convincing the swing voters, undecideds and independents was more important to winning Rhode Island's electoral votes. However 14.3% said it was turning out the GOP base that was more important.
When we asked this question to Democrats concerning Barack Obama and turning out the Democratic base, the response was completely opposite from the Republicans. Seventy-seven-point-eight-percent thought turning out the Democratic base was most important to winning electoral votes in Rhode Island, while 22.2% thought that convincing swing voters, undecideds and independents was most important.
Cicilline-Doherty Race
In our fourth question, we asked our political influencers what effect, if any, will the David Cicilline/Brendan Doherty race have on the presidential race in Rhode Island? Both parties in the majority said it will have no effect on the race. Fifty-three-point-three-percent of the Republicans said it will have no effect, while 66.7% of the Democrats said it will have no effect on the race. Forty-percent of Republicans felt the race would have a modest increase in votes for Romney, while only 6.7% of Republicans said it would have a big increase for Romney.
Twenty-two-point-two-percent of Democrats felt the Cicilline/Doherty race would have a modest increase for votes for Obama. Another 11.1% felt in would have a modest increase for votes for Romney.
In our fifth question, we reversed the previous question asking our Red Rhody and Blue Rhody political influencers what effect, if any, do you think the presidential race will have on the David Cicilline/Brendan Doherty race? Republicans appeared to be split on this question. Thirty-three-point-three-percent felt it would have no effect on the presidential race. However 26.7% felt it would have a modest increase in votes for Brendan Doherty, while another 26.7% felt in would have a modest increase in votes for David Cicilline. Only 6.7% felt in would have a big increase in votes for Brendan Doherty and another 6.7% felt it would have a big increase in votes for David Cicilline.
Democrats were not as divided on this question as the Republicans. Fifty-five-point-six-percent felt the presidential race would have a modest increase in votes for David Cicilline. Twenty-two-point-two-percent felt the race would have a big increase in votes for Cicilline, while another 22.2% said it would have no effect on the Cicilline/Doherty race.
When we asked our political influencers what other downballot races they thought would effect the presidential race in Rhode Island several responses on each side came up with the same answer. Both parties agreed that the U.S. Senate race between Democratic incumbent Sheldon Whitehouse and Republican Barry Hinckley would have an effect on the presidential race in the Ocean State. One Democratic political influencer also cited the U.S. Congress District 2 race between Democratic incumbent James Langevin and Republican challenger Michael Riley.
Final Thoughts
We wrapped up our survey by asking each of our Red Rhody and Blue Rhody political influencers to add their thoughts about Tuesday's election. On the Republican side the responses were quite diverse. One political influencer predicted Romney would win by a large margin while another responded by saying Rhode Island would elect Barack Obama regardless of any other factors. Another Republican response stated that both presidential campaigns conceded Rhode Island to concentrate on battle ground states.
The Democratic responses were much more singular. A majority of the responses predicted a victory for the President, both in Rhode Island and overall. Another response felt that there was too much money being spent on the presidential race and something needed to be done about that. One Democratic response cited the disappointment in the tactics used by the Romney campaign.
Our surveys are not a scientific random sample of any larger population but rather an effort to listen to a swath of influential local Republican and Democratic activists, party leaders and elected officials in Rhode Island. All of these individuals have agreed to participate in the surveys, although not all responded to this particular survey.

To suggest that "its decision time" and only provide the republican or democratic decisions is not totally accurate. While some of these parties are not on the ballot in every state there is none the less Green, Socialist, Libertarian and Independent candidates.
I realize they do not have any chance of winning the presidential elections however some do play a bigger part in local and regional decisions.
1:31 pm on Tuesday, November 6, 2012
Well said Mike. Too many local and national media make this an Us vs Them decision; sort of like a Yanks/Sox rivalry due to the romantic appeal of two boxers slugging it out (of course, all the cashola flowing into the coffers of the media doesn't hurt). However, as you said, other independent and third-party candidates play a major role at the local levels, and in a few states may even disrupt the national results. Every one of us has a voice, and we speak with our votes, no matter what party, including big or small.
1:31 pm on Tuesday, November 6, 2012
we already have a socialist and a green moron in the white house all at the same time.
now we need someone who knows business

I wonder why the Line Item Veto for the President of either party wasn't mentioned in this campaign.
Can't have a Balanced Budget without it in my opinion.
Now you know why Congress has a 16% approval rating among Americans.
They lack sincerity.

I completely agree he could be that voice on the court we need. Lamarcus just isn''t that guy and Damian can learn some on court leadership from him. A small lineup when we need a score bad of Dame, Wes, Paul, Nic, and Lamarcus would be potent.

I mean Damian might have not even been in the same area as them when it happened. Innocent until proven guilty

I would agree Harris seems more dynamic but Harkless looks pretty good as well.

I have been an upper elementary and middle school teacher for 31 wonderful years and have loved every minute of it. For me, content is the key. I believe the plans, printables, and worksheets I have created have above all else high-quality content, but are also practical and ready-to-use. Each item I sell has been used in my classroom or by a part of my teaching team (teacher-tested) and is clearly written. I won't put any lesson or idea on TeachersPayTeachers unless I am certain YOU can understand it, teach with it today, and that it has value for children.
I model my lessons on the idea that, more than ever in today's world, the focus and direction has to change in the class on a regular basis. Kids need to work hard, but it has to be work they enjoy doing AND that teaches them what they need to be successful. The world is changing and ways of learning are too, and we as teachers have to change with it.
The greatest honor any teacher can have is when an adult comes to them and says: "You were my teacher when I was a child and you changed my life for the better." After 31 years in the same district that is happening more each year and I love it!

Hundreds of sprigs of grass are pushing through the pavement at Doraville's 165-acre General Motors complex, vacant for two and a half years.
Now, the Doraville City Council is considering a master plan that would turn the former automobile assembly plant into a mixed-used development with office buildings, shopping, greenspace and access to a light rail.
"The city would continue to be a key cog in the economic development of the region," said Luke Howe, the assistant to Doraville's mayor. "GM sustained the city for 60 years. Now, we're looking for another economic engine to sustain us for the next 60-70 years."
Under a low-to-medium density plan, the GM site would have office buildings up to five stories tall. Another plan calls for a high-density development with buildings 10-15 stories high.
Depending on which scenario is implemented, the development could create between 3,000 and 20,000 jobs, Howe said. Doraville wants to attract science, digital media and health care jobs to the region.
"What's good for Doraville is good for the county and the state," Howe said.
Since its incorporation 140 years ago, Doraville grew from an agricultural town to an industrial city that supplied jobs for thousands. Now, it is a city struggling to regain its identity as a job hub for metropolitan Atlanta.
"This will help repair the fabric of the city," Howe said.
Before GM came to Doraville, Buford Highway was a four-lane road with streetscaping. Now it has seven lanes and is not safe for walking and biking, Howe said. And Doraville has no town center.
"Doraville is a city that just happened," Howe said. "It was never planned. We have to retrofit Doraville into a more traditional town."
To create improved access to the GM site, city planners want to connect Peachtree Industrial with Buford Highway with a bridge or tunnel. The city is planning to include these transportation ideas on a list of proposed projects it submits to the Georgia Department of Transportation to be considered for a referendum next year.
Last year, Georgia's legislature enacted the Transportation Investment Act, which provides for a regional referendum in 2012 in which Atlanta metropolitan voters will be able to vote on a penny sales tax to fund various transportation projects.
Since the GM plant closed in 2008, it has been a subject of development talks. In October 2009, the Doraville City Council voted down a proposal to construct a new Atlanta Falcons' stadium on the site.
Four months later, Florida-based New Broad Street Companies announced that it was in negotiations to purchase the site from GM for a mixed-use development. In June 2010, the deal fell through when GM did not extend a deadline for New Broad Street to secure its funding.
In August 2010, the DeKalb County Commission rejected a proposal for a $60 million project that would have split the property between the county and New Broad Street. The county's $35 million portion would have been paid with federal stimulus bonds.
During a trip to Washington, D.C., last month, DeKalb Chief Executive Officer Burrell Ellis met with federal leaders to discuss funding options for the GM redevelopment.
The Doraville City Council is expected to vote on the master plan in its March 21 meeting.

The monitor is perhaps the most important element of any computer setup, you spend all the time you are at your PC looking at it and it directly impacts on the experience you have with your computer. Unfortunately the monitor is also often the most overlooked component. Only several years ago CRT monitors were the most popular and cost effective screen to be looking at. However due to their bulky size and high freight costs they have rapidly fallen out of favour since the lower cost TFT screens have come to market. There are TFT screens available for every budget and with good quality HD resolution screens now available for under £100.00 there has never been a better time to upgrade to a widescreen HD monitor.

"A country like that has no moral authority to judge generals and political officials in Venezuela," Maduro said. "We reject it and we believe that the drug trafficking mafias are there, in a sick society like the United States."
After security screeners detained him at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport in 2006, Maduro called the U.S. government "racist" and "Nazi" and said the United States does not appreciate Latin American countries.
There are two sides to Maduro, said Javier Corrales, a professor of political science at Amherst College in Massachusetts.
"On the one hand, he has been behind some of the most radical, crazy foreign policy decisions of the Chavez administration. Support for Libya, you name it, all the radical decisions, he has been behind them," Corrales said. "But he also has been behind some of the most pragmatic and conciliatory decisions, including the turnaround in relations with Colombia."
That's a marked contrast with the inflammatory Chavez, who rarely turns to compromise, Corrales said.
Before his role representing Venezuela abroad, Maduro honed his political skills at home.
He became a union leader while working for the Caracas metro system.
After Chavez came to power in 1999, Maduro participated in an assembly that drafted a new constitution.
He served as a congressman until 2006, when he was tapped as foreign minister.
If the president dies, Venezuela's constitution specifies that the vice president assumes the presidency until new elections can be held.

Social Media in Rulemaking
Project Stages:
1. Gather ideas - Completed2. Select ideas - Completed
3. Council approval - Completed
4. Picking a researcher - Completed
5. Committee consideration - Current
6. Back to the council - Not reached yet
7. Consideration by the full conference - Not reached yet
8. Implementation - Not reached yet
Background: Social media, including Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and other similar technologies, present new opportunities for agencies to engage the public in rulemaking activities. Such social media tools are uniquely valuable because they facilitate two-way communication. Rather than just pushing information out, social media allows agencies to provide the public with a way to communicate views and information to the agency.
In the context of rulemaking, however, agency use of social media raises difficult policy and legal issues. Agencies must determine whether and how to use social media to support rulemaking initiatives, including during the preliminary stages of a rule's development, while the rule is out for comment, and once the rule has been promulgated. Determining how the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and other legal requirements apply to social media requires sound judgment and expertise. With little judicial precedent to guide the way, agencies face substantial uncertainty in navigating these issues. This uncertainty discourages agency innovation.
Project Details: The Conference is studying the various policy and legal issues agencies face when using social media in rulemaking. The study will consider whether and when agencies should use social media to support rulemaking activities. It will also seek to identify relevant issues, define applicable legal and policy constraints on agency action, resolve legal uncertainty to the greatest extent possible, and encourage agencies to find appropriate and innovative ways to use social media to facilitate broader, more meaningful public participation in rulemaking activities. The Conference's consultant on the project is Michael Eric Herz, Arthur Kaplan Professor of Law, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University.
