Lecture on French Culture and Philosophy
Listen to an intriguing lecture by Jean-Luc Marion on French Culture and Philosophy: Beyond Post-modernism. The philosophes of the Enlightenment and positivist thinkers of the 19th-century were confident in the power of reason and science to discover truth and establish a just human society. The tragic history of the 20th-century and the critique of modernity by philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzche and Jean-Paul Sartre led to a French intellectual culture that abandoned modernity's confidence in human reason.
Professeur Marion considers France's "post-modern" culture and discuss how writers and philosophers have either given up on the idea of truth or taken up the challenge of seeking truth where human reason alone has failed.
Jean-Luc Marion teaches at l'Université Paris-Sorbonne and the University of Chicago.
Recorded Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at the Alliance Française de Chicago.

Music Review: Black Moth Super Rainbow, Cobra JuicyPublished on October 23rd, 2012 in: Current Faves, Music, Music Reviews, New Music Tuesday, Reviews |
By Ricky Lima
I've had the pleasure of introducing some of my friends to both Tobacco and Black Moth Super Rainbow over the years. I explain to them that both artists are fronted by the same person, and they usually comment that they don't see much of a difference between the two. That is when I usually go into a rant about how BMSR is a more folk driven project with organic textures where as Tobacco is a more harsh sounding, hip hop-driven project.
After reading interviews with Tom Fec (the mastermind behind Tobacco and BMSR) it becomes clear that this kind of distinction drove Fec away from making more BMSR music. He felt boxed in by making his records sound like a Tobacco record or like a BMSR album and that there was no growth in making albums sound a certain way. After a very successful Kickstarter, however, Fec is back with a new BMSR album titled Cobra Juicy.
The first thing that becomes clear while listening to Cobra Juicy is that Fec isn't out to create a BMSR album; his goal is to make a solid album. A lot of the folk textures from previous BMSR projects are pretty much non-existent. Acoustic guitars are replaced with electric guitars, and on some tracks—particularly "Gangs in the Garden"—the vocals are harsh and intense. This is not to say that this change is a bad thing, because the music is still all at once ethereal, captivating, and unique, but just in a different way than previous BMSR albums.
It would be irresponsible to keep comparing Cobra Juicy to other BMSR albums because Fec actively seeks to differentiate the albums. So instead we should look at the moods and textures created by Cobra Juicy as an individual entity.
Right from the opening track "Windshield Smasher," with its almost arena rock feel, you can tell the album is about freedom. The song has a youthful beat and a rebellious undertone to it. Even the music video is all about freedom. Cobra Juicy as a whole feels liberated and untroubled, like an album released from oppression and allowed to run through the streets. It is clear that the theme of freedom runs deep through Cobra Juicy and shows a shift in Fec's thinking about BMSR.
Long time fans of Black Moth Super Rainbow will fall instantly in love with Cobra Juicy if they enter into it with an open mind. If they come into it looking for more of the same thing they will be disappointed. The more structured and solid Cobra Juicy is a clear progression in the beast that is BMSR and signals a change towards breaking out of conventions and expectations.
I think that Cobra Juicy may be BMSR's most accessible album, as some of the tracks' hooks have a strong pop appeal. The great thing about the album though, is that the attractive pop hooks take place around unconventional and genre bending songs. Fec blends pop and experimental so well that one can't help but sit back and just listen to what's going on.
Cobra Juicy is out today from Tobacco's Rad Cult label. You can purchase the album from the Black Moth Super Rainbow website as well as stream tracks.

San Francisco Chronicle
Scientists are ratcheting up the numbers on the expected impact of climate change, and last winter's storms brought road closures and intermittent flooding all over the Bay Area. The Bay Conservation and Development Commission's unanimous call last week for a regional plan to respond to climate change couldn't be more timely — or more important.
The commission has been working on ways to address rising sea levels for the past five years. It's calling for a nine-county study of the vulnerabilities of the shoreline.
There are some parts of the Bay Area we already know are at high risk — like San Francisco's Embarcadero, which recently made the National Trust for Historic Preservation's top 11 most endangered historic places in the U.S. But it's just as important to strategize ways to protect critical regional assets, like our international airports for Oakland and San Francisco.
There are three major challenges facing the commission — and the entire Bay Area.
The first challenge, and maybe the greatest, is a governance issue.
The Bay Area's local governments are proud of their independence, but sea-level rise can't be dealt with on a project-by-project basis. There are regional assets we need to protect, and one person's new office development in a vulnerable area is another person's flood risk. Unfortunately, there is no regional governance structure with the power to act on behalf of protecting everyone in the region. That has to change, but it'll require state legislation to do so.
The second challenge is a capacity issue. Most of the Bay Area's local agencies want to address climate change — but they don't have the staff capacity to do so. Again, the Bay Area has to work regionally to handle this, and to partner with non-governmental organizations as well as the business community so we can all act together.
The third challenge is, of course, money. But throwing more money at this problem won't work until the Bay Area is acting together as a region to tackle sea-level rise in every community.

Phase I of the Panda Trek at the San Diego Zoo has finally opened, and critters and visitors alike are delighted! (See video of Panda Trek). Lily, the one-year-old red panda, is busily exploring every inch of her beautiful new habitat (when not curled up in one of the elm trees). The field station is open for a peek at how scientists live in the wilds of China, and the takins are settling into their new, multilevel enclosure. A ramp leads up and around the corner to the giant panda research station (quiet voices, please!) where Gao Gao and Yun Zi are available for viewing most of the day. We're awaiting the arrival of the Mang Mountain vipers; they'll be moved down in the next few weeks and can be seen for now at the Zoo's Reptile House.
It's been an exciting transition for all. For many people, the best part was moving day, when the takins were allowed to leave their previous enclosure near the Elephant Odyssey Fossil Portal and walk down to their new home at the Trek—at least that was the idea. Once on the forested hillside, the takins had other plans. Instead of wandering down in an orderly fashion, they reached the hillside and decided to explore – and play – and explore – and backtrack – and play – and chase – and approach the gate to their new area – and retreat. It was delightful to watch these majestic animals in an approximation of their wooded mountain habitat (no native eucalyptus in their wild home, after all), romping youngsters and stately adults both, and we made sure that visitors were aware of just how special this sight was.
Keepers, meanwhile, exhibited extraordinary patience as they coaxed, called, cajoled, and tried everything they could to entice the takins to leave the hillside and enter their new area. No amount of treat-bucket shaking was enough to lure more than one of the takins in at a time, and then that animal would leave to rejoin the rest of the group on the hillside. Eventually, food, as always, won out, and the takin herd moved into its new home to dine, and there they remain for all to see.
It's been interesting to watch the panda guys adjust to their new neighbors. They could catch a glimpse of the takins on moving day, but not as much now. The sounds and smells, however, are another matter. Gao Gao especially is intrigued by the smell, stopping in mid-activity as the breeze shifts to lift his head and sniff. Yun Zi seemed alert to the recently added residents in the early days, but after two weeks he seems to be less interested.
And Bai Yun? She remains off exhibit and is being monitored for any signs of pregnancy. There is still nothing definitive, one way or the other. We've still much to learn about the process of delayed implantation and pregnancy in older females, but continuing research is yielding exciting new developments every day.

I then went and recompiled my kernel using the new sources. After a reboot, everything seems fine. dmesg says I'm now running NetBSD 1.4.1. I noticed an option in the makefile called UPDATE.

Letters: Drink drive proposal insulting to the grieving families of accident victims
Sir, I wish to respectfully comment on Cllr Danny Healy Rae's recent proposal to allow rural dwellers to drive under the influence of elevated levels of alcohol, contrary to the law.
In doing so I do not wish to minimise the very real social issues facing those who perhaps live alone or find themselves confined to an isolated living environment. I appreciate the difficulties faced on a daily basis by socially isolated people and I would be among the first to support any social initiative that would improve their quality of life. However, the proposal put forward by Cllr Healy Rae and supported by others is at least ill considered and at worst insulting to families who have lost loved ones in drink related incidents. I would be interested to know how he can justify such a proposal and whether he is aware of reputable scientific tests or results that would in some way support his proposal?
In recent years the numbers of fatalities on Irish roads has decreased significantly. This is down to the outstanding efforts of the legislators, Gardai and reputable bodies such as the RSA, whose collective campaigning has promoted public awareness of the effects and dangers of drink driving.
I lost my son due to the irresponsible actions of a drunk driver. Unlike those who live in isolation and may be helped by proactive social schemes I am condemned to a life of loneliness without my son as are all families who have lost loved ones to completely avoidable incidents.
In this day and age there can be no excuse or justification for any driver getting behind the wheel of a vehicle while intoxicated. The Brendan's Law campaign actively lobbies all relevant parties to extend the power to seize and impound a vehicle where a driver is found to be over the legal limit. I respectfully suggest that Cllr Healy Rae and politicians at all levels should support extending powers Gardai already have in situations where the driver is found to be uninsured. We believe our proposal to be reasonable, fair and will serve as an effective deterrent. We seek justice not vengeance.
The levels detailed in the law are established following due diligence and extensive research on the effects of alcohol. I suspect Cllr Healy Rae is offering a personal opinion unsupported by any known research. I accept people living in isolated areas deserve any assistance they may receive but his proposal is an appalling affront to all who have suffered needless loss in rural and urban areas. He cannot possibly understand the devastation caused by any avoidable tragedy that changes families for ever. His proposal has attracted almost universal condemnation from all sectors of society. I appeal to Cllr Healy Rae to show moral courage and publicly withdraw what is in plain speaking a socially irresponsible and dangerous proposal and replace it with alternative initiatives that will help those in need without endangering the welfare of any member of the public.

Dunmore Road,

If you have a money losing side activity, you might consider the tax savings as easing the pain a little bit. According to some of the Amway critics, like Anna Banana, Amway IBO's are encouraged to view income tax refunds as income from their activity. You should also be aware that if you have persistent losses, there is a decent chance that the IRS will challenge your losses. There are a number of avenues where you will be attacked including substantiation, Section 183 (hobby loss rules) and the passive activity loss rules. Taxpayers and the IRS have mixed results in these cases. Horse breeders frequently win. Amway people almost always lose. Win or lose, though, it is just about the taxes and interest and penalties. Until you get to a case like that of Benjamin O. Agbaniyaka, whose loss in Tax Court in 2007 concerned, inter alia, his African arts and crafts sideline. Mr. Agbaniyaka's loss in Tax Court prompted his employer to fire him. The Appeals Court for the Federal Circuit upheld the decision.
How do you lose your day job over an audit of your tax reporting of a side job ? Mr. Agbainyaka worked for the IRS as a Revenue Agent. The IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 mandates termination of any IRS employee found to have willfully understated his federal tax liability, unless such understatement is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The agency determined that Mr. Agbaniyaka had willfully understated his tax obligation for the four-year period and, in the alternative, found that he had violated the agency's code of ethics. He sought arbitration under the collective bargaining agreement with the National Treasury Employees Union. The arbitrator ruled:
Given the Grievant's experience and expertise, he was undoubtedly aware that he had to substantiate his efforts to conduct a business in 2001 and beyond. Being an experienced and knowledgeable Agency employee, he had to have been aware that he could not substantiate his alleged business activities. By claiming deductions on Schedule C, he knowingly and willfully submitted tax filing to which he was not entitled.
He appealed to the Merit Systems Protection Board, which agreed with the arbitrator. The Circuit Court decision pretty much focuses on what I call "lawyerly" stuff about procedures and burden of proof and the like. Ultimately they upheld the MSPB decision. I am of two minds about this decision overall. On the one hand, I think it is reasonable to hold IRS employees, particularly revenue agents, to a high standard with respect to their own tax compliance. On the other hand, I think the result is on the harsh side. The total deficiency for four years was only around $10,000. It was conceivable that the Tax Court could have believed Mr. Agbaniyaka's sincerity, in which case some of the deductions might have been allowed under the Cohan rule. Under the statute the alternative to having him fired, was for the IRS Commissioner to craft some other sanction. Maybe they could have just made him work Amway cases for a couple of years. That would have been punishment enough.

The punctuation mark on Jimmie Johnson's last victory at Dover International Speedway was a colorful confirmation of why he dominates the track that so many dread.
After tying Bobby Allison and Richard Petty with a record seventh victory on the high-banked, bone-jarring concrete in June, Johnson donned a multihued wig and left it on throughout his celebration and news media obligations.
It was a reminder the five-time Sprint Cup champion is as freewheeling as he is fast at his most prolific venue in NASCAR's premier series.
It's the antithesis of the Dover outlook for his Chase for the Sprint Cup rivals, who find themselves already trailing Johnson after two of 10 races in the title run -- a one-point lead that figures to be extended in Sunday's AAA 400.
"(Dover) is a good opportunity on a lot of the Chasers to get some points on them," said Johnson, who's off to his best Chase start with consecutive runner-up finishes. "It's been a great track for us. If we can run up front and kind of control the race, I feel we can hopefully distance ourselves (in the points)."
REMEMBER THE WIG:Jimmie Johnson's good hair day
His chief pursuers aren't quite conceding victory, but second-ranked Brad Keselowski and third-ranked Denny Hamlin have been candid about their struggles at Dover, and their realism has been well founded.
In five starts, Keselowski hasn't finished higher than a 12th in the June 3 race. Hamlin has suffered greater disappointment, placing outside the top 15 in eight of the past 10 races and a driver rating (78.6) that ranks 15th in Cup.
More proof is in the foreboding tone in which the Joe Gibbs Racing has described Dover -- openly admitting multiple times after recent victories that it's the only track he fears in the Chase and characterizing his expectations as "damage control."
"All I can do is have a positive outlook," he said. "We've been more cold than hot. People have their Achilles heel, and for me, Dover has been it. I have won in Nationwide (twice in 2007 and 2008) somehow. Everyone else must have wrecked or something. I just have to figure out what it takes in Cup."
So deep-rooted is the mental block, Hamlin sought help from sports psychologist Bob Rotella (his advice: Love the track).
Given that Johnson preyed upon Hamlin with mental warfare to win the championship in the final race of 2010, it's worth asking: Could Hamlin talk himself out of a good finish at the Monster Mile by focusing so much on his deficiencies there?
"No, because we've found a way to finish top 10 there," said Hamlin, who has four top-10s (two ninths and two fourths) at Dover. "Qualifying will be key. That's going to set the tone for our weekend. I'm just realistic. I can pump myself (up) and beat my chest all I want going into a racetrack, but when you haven't had success there, that means you don't know what you are looking for. The good news is we're going there with a completely new package that (crew chief) Darian (Grubb) thinks will make me more comfortable.
"We know at worst we're going to be 18th, two laps down. That's where we usually are."
POWER OF LOVE:Denny Hamlin consults psychologist
Keselowski is trying to avoid paying attention to history as he has in notching top-10s in 11 of the last 12 races.
"It's taught me a valuable lesson to maybe look even less at practice and previous results than ever before," the Penske Racing driver said. "It's really easy to allow yourself to get psyched out by looking at previous stats or even practice and qualifying stats."
Other top title contenders are seeking a Dover turnaround. Tony Stewart (fourth in points) has two wins at Dover but is more than two years removed from his last top-10 there and has the 26th-best driver rating (68.6). Kasey Kahne (78.2), Clint Bowyer (89.7) and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (77.6) -- 5-6-7 in points -- own Dover driver ratings outside the top 10.
The three drivers closest to Johnson at the 1-mile oval also are among the furthest back in the points: ninth-ranked Greg Biffle (two wins, fourth-best driver rating), 11th-ranked Matt Kenseth (two wins, second-best rating) and 12th-ranked Jeff Gordon (four wins, ninth-best rating).
But Johnson's Dover rating of 120.6 still is a staggering 10 points higher than second-best Kenseth's. In the past eight races there, the Hendrick Motorsports star has led 54% of the laps (1,719 of 3,200) and been in the top 15 for 86.1% of the laps (5,170 of 8,404) he's turned in 21 starts.
Johnson said being out front is the key to his success on the high-banked oval, where it can be difficult to recover after falling deep into traffic.
"When you are back in 15th to 20th, it's cutthroat," he said. "At a track that fast, a small mistake could take you right out of the race."

To see the minutes properly, it will be necessary to "Download" the attachments to your computer and open them. This may take some time because they are large files.
If you are looking for a particular person or surname, go first to the Name Index of Reunion Minutes (see navigation bar to the left). Using the index will allow you to find the page numbers on which the names of particular people appear, and you can go directly to those images without browsing through the rest of the minutes.
You'll be amazed at the details that are recorded in these minutes. They provide a wonderful chronicle of the Zink and Graff families over a period of forty years.

SMC adopts new strategy to improve government communication
The Sharjah Media Centre (SMC) has announced the adoption of new plan to improve work mechanisms and upgrade government communication in Sharjah, Gulf News reported. The plan aims to activate a new Government Communication Network (GCN), which involves all government entities in the emirate. Government communication professionals from different government entities in Sharjah attended a meeting and workshop to discuss the best practices and latest developments in the field of government communication. The highlighted the challenges faced and exchanged views on new tools to enhance communication. The workshop included an orientation on a number of reference guides that had been previously distributed among government institutions to supply them with the information they need about media crisis management and strategic government communication.

I am quite new with maya and I can't figure out how to intersect subdiv objects (I'm not even sure this is the good way to get what I want). I am trying to build the knight of a chess game, I made the base shape using a subdiv and I'd like to create the shape of the eye:
My first try was to intersect my base mesh with a surface cylinder and then use the move tool on the curve created on the surface, but it didn't seem to be working (nothing happened, even the intersect surfaces). Converting my subdiv to a NURBS completely breaks the whole thing by creating unconnected NURBS (is it normal???). Could you tell me the good method to create the eye shape of that knight?
Thanks a lot!
It doesent quite work out that way.
Converting my subdiv to a NURBS completely breaks the whole thing by creating unconnected NURBS (is it normal???)
Yes. Unconnected is just a matter of abstraction scope. even the individual pathces in the subdivision surface ate unconnected form eaqh other as far as the final renderer is concerned. Wether or not they are unconnected is not the issue, just different abstraction. If you dont move them about they will produce the xact same thing as the subdiv does. (the subdiv is in fact no more ineterconnected its just avbstracted to you that way)
PS: Seriously the chess board.
Thanks for answering.And so what would be the good method to create the eye shape in my subdiv?
lots of spitting.
why just not extrude a face in?
why just not extrude a face in?
if you dont mind the surrounding shape to change Shape. But see i dont think he really tought tej question out thisway.
Youve allready been indoctrinated in how it works, so you think it that way. If a normal person ASKS how to make a hole boolean or intersect stuff they really mean the rest of the object to stay intact. Its only after repeated failures that they start thinking in terms of the malleability aspects of things.
the question was: "Could you tell me the good method to create the eye shape of that knight? " I think my method should work
but I agree that first steps in modelling are trials and errors. there was a programmer and he wanted to get a simple bevel operation for cube in maya, but he was simply unaware that such operation exists, so his approach was to take another cube and use boolean operation in order to cut those edges. very similar case )))
Well he should have used a cad app they would have worked that way back in the early 1990's And still do in many respects. They are muchmore geared for the natural inclination of how to manufacture things.
IN any case chess pieces tend to be frowned uppon. Used to be the number one one all reels a few yesr back. I dont want to ever see a chess set in demo reel again, unless its accompanied by A class moviestar.
Thanks Almakos, that's exactly what I wanted to do actually. I see that it's going to take a while and a lot of practice before finding the good modeling method right away.

Jinyoung Cheon found her name changing after she arrived at East Tennessee State University. She says, "Everyone here calls me 'Jenny.' I don't mind that at all. I think that is a pretty name."
Cheon came to ETSU from South Korea through an exchange program with her homeland school, Kangwon National University, and she is nearing the end of two years of study in the College of Clinical and Rehabilitative Health Sciences' dental hygiene program.
No one else in the Cheon family has traveled internationally, but when the opportunity to study at ETSU arose, Jenny packed up her things and traveled to Tennessee.
"It was very hard at first," Cheon explains. "And I haven't seen my family and friends in two years. That can be a very lonely feeling. Luckily, I joined International Buccaneer Buddies, where I met both American and other international students. They were very welcoming and supportive."
In addition to the other adjustments to life in a new place, Cheon had to learn to speak English. She is now very fluent, but says that is not due to previous study, but out of necessity when she arrived on campus.
Cheon also credits faculty, staff and fellow students for her success at ETSU, as well as her involvement with Campus Crusade for Christ. "I am very grateful to Dr. Don Samples (dean of the College of Clinical and Rehabilitative Health Sciences) and Dr. Charles Faust (director of the dental hygiene program). I would not be here if not for them. Coming to ETSU was a very good decision, and what I will miss most when I leave are the people here," she says.
While Cheon contacts her family through FaceTime sessions when possible, that isn't always easy. She explains, "When I wake up, they are just going to sleep." Another comfort was finding an Asian market in the area where she can get kimchi, a South Korean favorite dish. Cheon has, however, developed a taste for American food. "I like it so much that I keep gaining a pound now and then," she says.
One difference Cheon noticed between Kangwon and ETSU is the emphasis the ETSU dental hygiene program places on practical experience and clinics. "I think that gives me better preparation for my career," she says. To improve her skills even further, she hopes to pursue the possibility of staying in America an extra year for practical experience.

I've got a True40x CD-ROM right now. It seems to read very fast, but I have problems with burned CD's. I'm thinking about going to SCSI interface. What's the fastest/reliable out there these days? Also, what's the best SCSI controller for the CD-ROM. I've got an Adaptec 2906 for my tape backup. Is it good enough for a CD-ROM? or should I get a better one. I don't plan on getting and SCSI HDD's. I've already got an IDE RAID controller w/ 2 Quantum KA HDD's. I'm very happy with the performace/cost of the HDD's. I max at about 66MB/s on my benchs.
Any advise will be helpful!

Best built car I have owned
By Jim on
Vehicle1993 Volvo 940 Turbo 4dr Wagon
ReviewBought this car as a Mommy mobile after our first child was born. She is now looking forward to "inheriting" this car. This is by far the best built car we have ever owned. At 233,000 miles it is still going strong with barely anything more than routine maintenance. In that time we have replaced a few window switches, radiator, hoses, water pump,heater control valve, OD relay and sunroof motor, everything else is normal tuneup and wear items. If Volvo still made them I would buy a new one. They are simple and utilitarian in terms of luxuries. Easy to drive handles well in parking lots, traffic and on twisty roads. Great in rain and snow too. This car has become one of the family.
Best FeaturesSafety, reliability, turning radius, sport wheels, good handling
Worst FeaturesImprove on the fuel economy and start making them again.

I was asked to make a picture of the 27 graduates in the MFA in Writing program at Vermont College. Sometimes things just don't work they way you plan so plan B is always needed. Oh, details, don't forget the details . . . I should have asked a few more questions.
I staged what I thought was a good setup. I would use the Chapel in College Hall. Setup in front of the amazing pipe organ but below the stage. Create three rows of people. First row, 8 chairs with a nice easy curve from the center. Row two, 9 people standing and row three, 10 people standing on chairs. Add some back lighting and front fill flash at various angles and I'm ready.
Test photos were right on now just wait for the group to arrive. The graduates arrived and brought some friends – a lot of friends. The picture grow from 27 to 50 in a matter of seconds. They're on a very tight schedule so I only had a few minutes to adapt. I wish I'd adapted better.
Well, sometimes things just don't work out the way you planned so you try as best you can and walk away wondering what the original idea would have looked like. I did capture the moment – hectic!
A couple of graduates didn't make the picture so I was asked come back to take separate pictures of each and "photoshop" them in. I hear that alot lately. It is their picture. It is what they want.
What do you think about the idea of adding missing elements / people to a photograph?

2013 WJC Blog: Finland vs. Switzerland 30.12.12by Torie Peterson / Calgary Flames
Calgary Flames prospect Markus Granlund played the hero for Finland in their 5-4 shootout victory over Switzerland on Sunday, scoring twice in regulation and netting the shootout winner for his country.
Granlund is Finland's scoring leader with four goals in three games.
Finland plays their final preliminary round game on Dec. 31, squaring off against Sweden. With their win on Sunday, Finland sits second in Group A with five points. Sweden leads the group with eight points and a 2-1-0 record.
Lino Martschini gave the Swiss a 1-0 lead when he was able to bang a loose puck past Joonas Korpisalo. Sven Andrighetto made it 2-0 just over a minute later when he redirected a Tanner Richard shot.
Granlund potted the first Finnish goal at 5:21 of the second period, deflecting Juuso Vainio's shot on the power play. Teuvo Teräväinen went on to tie the game up at the midway mark of the frame when his wrister went over Swiss goaltender Melvin Nyffeler's shoulder.
Switzerland kept pushing in the third period, managing to push the score to 4-2 at one point thanks to Alessio Bertaggia and Christoph Bertschy's tallies.
Teräväinen pulled the Finns within a single goal at 13:06 while Granlund scored the equalizer off a faceoff at 18:20.

Malware Isn't About Total Control
BILL Gates has taken a lot of flak lately for claiming in his Newsweek interview that total-control exploits of Mac OS X are being discovered routinely:
Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally.
Most of the criticism centers around whether his claim is factually true. Here, let me offer a different angle: Even if Gates's claim is completely correct, it's still a distraction from the really important point about the malware problem in Windows.
Suppose I'm a malware author and I want to write a program that spreads itself from computer to computer, all over the internet, perhaps for the purpose of building a "zombie" network that will eventually, on my command, send a flood of spam, or launch a denial-of-service attack.
First, I need a way to get into your computer. That's where these "total control" exploits come in. So let's say I find one. Then I write a program that scans the internet for exploitable computers, and it finds yours. And it injects itself into your computer and takes "total control."
Then what happens? You immediately notice that something's very wrong with your computer, because you can't do anything. The OS isn't responding to your clicks and key-presses. Your apps aren't responding either. My malware has total control of your computer, so nothing else is running. After less than a minute, you hit the hard-reset button on your computer and bam — my malware is stopped.
Now let's suppose my nefarious process is clever enough to retake control again as soon as the OS boots back up. Once again, you can't use anything because nothing is responding, so this time you turn the computer off (terminating my malware's search for new computers to infect) and take it somewhere to be cleaned or reformatted (thus erasing my malware). So my plan to make a zombie network is completely foiled at square one.
Successful malware doesn't take "total control" of the computer — instead, it frequently gives up control to allow the OS and user apps to do their thing, with no absolute guarantee that it will get control back. Successful malware must coexist with your OS and user apps for long periods of time (months or years), while delicately searching for new computers to infect — and all the while awaiting my command to launch a coordinated attack.
And, successful malware must survive with you at the helm of your computer, potentially noticing that something has infected your system, and potentially attempting to remove it. This is where the real difference between OS X and Windows comes in: As discussed in John Gruber's article Broken Windows, Microsoft's OS permits processes to hide themselves within a horribly convoluted system, so that even if you suspect you're infected, you'll have a horrendous time trying to locate, terminate, and remove the malicious process(es). Conversely OS X, by design, makes it horrendously hard to protect processes from being located, stopped, and removed by the mildly savvy user. This is the real malware vulnerability from which Windows suffers and from which OS X does not. This is why malware is virtually non-existent for the typical Mac user. If I can infect a few Macs somewhere, but cannot create a self-regenerating, zombie army of compromised Macs, then as a malware author I've wasted my time. I should have been writing for Windows! >smacking self on forehead<
It remains to be seen whether Windows Vista will really cure any of this. Just remember, when reading reports of newly discovered and newly patched exploits in Vista — it's not about getting into the machine, it's about staying there. If Vista's underlying technologies have been sufficiently reengineered to prevent the creation of protected, buried, stubborn, rogue processes, then maybe the Windows malware nightmare is finally ending. If not, it's just getting started.
Update 2009.03.28 — Charlie Miller says:
Any security expert knows that Mac OS X is less secure than Windows. The question is which is SAFER. Because Mac OS X is still relatively rare, it is actually a little safer. But it has nothing to do with it being more secure, but rather, that bad guys are entirely focused on Windows at the moment due to the overwhelming market share Windows has. At this time, I still don't recommend anti-virus for Mac OS X users, because there simply isn't much malware for that platform. However, if Mac OS X market share ever goes up, there will be a landslide of exploits and malware.
Let's all remember this quote, shall we, so we can laugh at it ten years from now.
Apple is selling millions of Macs per quarter, yet the Mac malware problem is virtually nonexistent (not "relatively rare" or "a little safer" as Miller tries to water it down). Meanwhile, just one Windows worm called Conficker is causing massive headaches for those who want to stop it — and threatens to do who-knows-what on April 1, just a few days from now — despite the fact that Microsoft and teams of security experts know all about it and have studied the crap out of it. (Microsoft's own efforts to stop it have degenerated to offering a cash bounty for the apprehension of Conficker's author. I'm not kidding.)
Charlie: Read my above article, and then you'll understand why hacking into a couple computers at a hacker's contest does not a malware threat make. If you still disagree, then here's the real hacker challenge for you: Cook up a Conficker for the Mac, if you can. And don't worry about Apple putting a bounty on your head. They won't need to.
Update 2009.04.19 — OK, just heard that a Mac botnet has been discovered. That's a point in Miller's favor. But — the same report said that these Macs became infected when their owners downloaded pirated software from BitTorrent and other such sites, and that the illicit software was infected with a trojan horse. No word that this malware can't be easily avoided simply by not acquiring software that way.

Reader Profile: Director ConductDecember 2009 – Articles Boards & Directors
Each month, Boards & Directors asks a reader to comment on critical issues directors encounter. David discussed the scrutiny, pressure and risks boards of directors face in today's economy, specifically with insolvent companies seeking restructuring alternatives. Directors have to be particularly aware of the legal standards and obligations that need to be upheld, and recognize that stakeholders are no longer colleagues, but rivals, and balance shareholder interests with those of creditors. Boards also need to understand the role of their special committee to identify potential conflicts of interest and other hot points to ensure fair decision-making. Directors, officers and their advisors need to be proactive in minimizing such risk.

Sorry, no definitions found. Check out and contribute to the discussion of this word!
Sorry, no etymologies found.
I would say that is a hole that a Pileated Woodpecker Dryocopus pileatus has made.
Martin Collinson compared David Luneau's Arkansas video footage from April 2004 of the supposed Ivory-billed Woodpecker with fresh footage of the Pileated Woodpecker Dryocopus pileatus, a superficially similar black and white species.
In addition to the endangered tiger, there are several other threatened mammal species, such as the capped langur (Semnopithecus pileatus), smooth-coated otter (Lutrogale perspicillata), Oriental small-clawed otter (Aonyx cinerea), and great Indian civet (Viverra zibetha).
There are several large mammals of conservation significance in this ecoregion, including the endangered douc langur (Pygathrix nemaeus), red-cheeked gibbon (Hylobates gabriellae), and pileated gibbon (Hylobates pileatus) and potentially the tiger (Panthera tigris).
Systematic revision and biogeography of the Herpsilochmus pileatus complex, with description of a new species from northeastern Brazil.
The Pileated woodpecker, dryocopus pileatus, was seen and photographed the same day, January 26, 2008 in Asheville, North Carolina.
Its final disposition was in a deep and lonely mountain tarn, which, according to later tradition, was on a mountain, still called Pilatus actually pileatus or 'cloud-capped', close to Lucerne.
Convolvulus pileatus and dwarf bamboo are common on the low hills.
Journals of Travels in Assam, Burma, Bhootan, Afghanistan and the Neighbouring Countries
I never see a tulip-tree without recollecting the wild, strangely-hilarious cry of the _Hylotomus pileatus_; and I cannot help associating the giant bloom, its strength of form and vigor of color, with the scarlet crest and king-like bearing of the bird.
Ed. 2 The pileated woodpecker (Ceophlœus pileatus).

Hi Klaus,
the database just wants to have the next archivelog because it want's

The logfiles you are missing can be found in the original database's log_archive_dest_N and you can copy them to the copy database's log_archive_dest_N to be used for recovery. since you wanted to do an incomplete recovery you should have set 'set until X' where X can be a time, seq# or whatever you want to use to mark the end point for the recovery.

Sky Journey AMV
It took longer than I thought it would, but I've finally finished my 3rd AMV. As the title implies, I went for a journey through the sky, hence the train at the beginning. It starts off with the crack of dawn before moving through the day and into the evening before finishing up with the starry night sky.
You can download the AMV from http://www.animemusicvideos.org/video/200053 or watch it below:
Some of the obstacles I faced making this AMV were: relearning video editing software, finding clips that fit, and of course the ever-elusive "free time". Halfway through making the AMV, I thought to myself that I should've picked a song with a faster tempo, but it was all or nothing at that point. I'm also still figuring out how to do special effects right now so there's nothing really fancy going on in this AMV, just some cross-dissolve and my first attempt at masking.

Bumper Bowling for Preschoolers
Bumper bowling is great for the youngest bowler. It's played on a regular bowling lane, but the gutters are covered or protected by rails to keep the ball in the game. That means no gutter balls for the youngsters! In addition, if your child or special needs adult requires additional assistance throwing the ball a bowling ramp may be used. Bumper bowling is designed for young children or special needs adults. The bowlers usually use the lighter weight balls when bumper bowling.
Many bowling alleys in the Inland Empire have pop up rails that can be programmed for those users who require them. That means that when you program in the bowler's names, you indicate whether or not the rails will be used for the bowler. When needed, they slide up along the inner edge of the gutter when needed. Then, the slide back down for users who don't need them. This is a great feature when kids are bowling with their families.
Some bowling alleys use an inflatable tube that runs the length, or most of the length, of the lane to protect each gutter. If your bowling alley uses a tube, and sometimes even a bumper rail, there might be a weight limit on the bowling ball to prevent damage to the inflatable tube. The limit is usually 6 pounds, but check with your bowling alley to be sure.
Many lanes in Riverside, Corona, Chino and other parts of the Inland Empire offer bumper bowling leagues for kids. they usually start at about age 5 and can go up to around 16 years of age. It's a great way for kids to learn to bowl. They feel more successful and don't need to worry about gutter balls. Adults with special needs also have bumper bowling leagues, so be sure to check with your bowling alley for more information.
Unfortunately, bumper bowling is not included in the Olympics or Special Olympics. If your child or adult needs additional assistance throwing the ball a bowling ramp may be used.
Cosmic Bowling
Cosmic Bowling, sometimes called Disco or Glow in the Dark Bowling is where they turn down the lights (at least the white lights!), and use brightly colored lighting effects. Sometimes, the also use a disco ball. They often have loud music, resulting in an atmosphere much like a nightclub. Cosmic Bowling's glow-in-the-dark bowling with a dance club atmosphere often rocks the center with a state-of-the-art sound system. Somtimes the show consists of a light show, a fog machine, and even a DJ who keeps the center rocking. It absolutely makes for a rock 'n' bowl experience!

Proverbs Lesson 1
May Adult Bible Study Series (Spring-Summer quarter)
The Spearsville Road Church of Christ will begin studying the Book of Proverbs for our Spring-Summer quarter. Please come and join us on Sundays at 10:00 am., and study this extraordinary book full of wisdom.
Here is an excerpt of our study guide:
1. What Are the Proverbs?
OT Category: Wisdom Literature
The book of Proverbs is included in the "wisdom literature" or poetry of the OT, along with Job, Psalms, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon. These books present an array of lessons on everyday life: from worship to work, from speech to suffering, from family to foolishness.
"Truth, beauty, and goodness are summed up in the all-important term wisdom, and all forms of evil (personal or national) are pictured as folly or disobedience to divine law" (Herman O. Wilson, Studies in Proverbs, p. 8).
"The wisdom which is honored throughout the book of Proverbs is a prudential and practical wisdom. It is equated with such terms as understanding, knowledge, instruction, truth, good counsel, discretion, righteousness, and the fear of Jehovah. Thus the ethical and moral sense of the term is emphasized far more than the intellectual or rational idea of wisdom. To the Hebrews it meant a life directed by God's unchanging will and in harmony with his own character …
Even from a "common sense" standpoint, there are lessons to be learned by observing life. Some choices inevitably lead to trouble, such as overindulgence in alcohol or committing adultery. There is an observable connection between the action and the outcome. Ultimately, however, the principles that come from God steer us in the direction of health and well-being. The world rarely learns the lessons of history and often gives the wrong advice. We must go to God for His instruction in how to speak, act, socialize, prosper, handle the things of this world and serve Him.
"God is the source of all true wisdom, and God is also the object. Thus to know the statues or laws of God, and to bring one's life into harmony with his will, was considered not only perfect wisdom but the whole duty of man. Religion, knowledge, right conduct – all these and more were summed up in the general term wisdom and, therefore, bore upon all the day-to-day problems and relationships of men" (ibid, p 13).
The Structure of the Book
In short, there isn't much structure in Proverbs. There are broad categories of authorship: Solomon (10:1; 25:1), Agur (30:1), Lemuel (31:1). Chapters 1-9 are in the form of personified wisdom pleading with men to seek it and implement wisdom in their lives. Otherwise, the proverbs are arranged rather randomly. This study will examine the proverbs primarily by topic.
The Form of a Proverb
The proverbs are often couplets, a pithy saying of two lines where the second usually repeats, reinforces or amplifies the first:
- "Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread" (20:13).
- "Diverse weights are an abomination to the Lord, And a false balance is not good" (20:23).
Sometimes the second line of the couplet states the opposite of the first line:
- "The glory of young men is their strength, And the splendor of old men is their gray head" (20:29).
- "The poor man uses entreaties, But the rich answers roughly" (18:23).
Proverbs may also take the form of a short essay, such as the description of the man enticed into adultery (6:20-35) or a godly wife (31:10ff).
The General Use of Proverbs
The use of maxims, adages and/or proverbs is common to all cultures and times. They help express certain truths in a terse and easy-to-remember format:
Other examples in Israelite history (Look at the context and tell what they mean):
- "Is Saul also among the prophets?" – 1 Sam 10:12.
- "Wickedness proceeds from the wicked" – 1 Sam 24:13. (cf. Mt 7:17)
- "The blind and the lame shall not come into the house" – 2 Sam 5:8.
- "They shall surely ask counsel at Abel" – 2 Sam 20:18.
- "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge" – Ezk 18:2.
Jesus uses a parabolic form quite often:
- "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine" – Mt 7:6.
- "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath" – Mk 2:27.
- "Every city or house divided against itself will not stand" – Mt 12:25 (in use today).
Exercise: Can you think of three "modern proverbs"? List them and tell their meaning. Here's a couple to get started:
You can't judge a book by its cover. Meaning:
Fool me once; shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me. Meaning:
Your proverbs:
Overview of Proverbs: "Although its subject matter is far-reaching, this book is unified by one oft-repeated aim: to reprove the evil in men's lives and to encourage each reader to seek wisdom, truth, and righteousness" (Wilson, p. 7).
"The overriding purpose of the book and the individual passages is to teach what is right and pleasing to God, to encourage the love of wisdom or true understanding, to warn against the sins of pride and the evils of carnality, and to contrast holiness and wickedness, wisdom and folly" (ibid, p 9).

Overall Scorpio horoscope 2013
Scorpios will experience a heavy Saturn influence in the year 2013. Saturn is the energy that shows you exactly where you are, what you have and can reward or punish. With Saturn promises, wishes, negotiations and any attempt to bend the rules fail.
It is hard to predict how each Scorpio will be affected by this Saturn influence. I have seen people flourish under this influence, putting some order and stability into their lives, I have seen people who realize how much they were living beyond their means, and now is the time to pay the price.
Scorpios, who tend to keep their private lives private, will retreat into themselves even more than the usual. Those close to them will find it hard to talk to them, understand what is going on, and will be surprised by the decisions many Scorpios will take.
Overall, all Scorpios will feel like they are growing up this year, as if they were playing a child's game up until now, and now they are playing in the adult field. Many will feel older than they really are.
Career horoscope Scorpio 2013
In 2013 Scorpios will see changes in their career, many will feel like they are pushed into work places and environments which are not their first choice, but do offer some stability in the long run.
Scorpios will not feel like they are having an easy time at work, they will feel like they need to call upon resources to handle all that comes their way.
Some Scorpios will get promotions or placements in which they are at a managerial position, or they have a lot of responsibilities. This will require them to develop their interpersonal skills to learn how to cooperate.
In a way, all Scorpios will see what they are worth, those that have been putting a lot of effort in past years, managed to keep their work relationships smooth, and kept their word, will be rewarded beyond their expectations. Still, the new path will require hard work and effort.
Scorpios, who have not done well, especially on the day to day workplace relationships, will have to look for new jobs.
Relationships horoscope Scorpio 2013
Scorpios will find out that in this year they will have to make commitments. The games are over, and it is decision time. This pertains to both single Scorpios, and attached Scorpios.
Scorpios, whose relationships are filled with burdens, blames, expectations, and even lies, will have to face up to the reality of their relationships. Any attempt to get counseling and to set up new ways of communicating will help a lot in making new and better foundations to their current relationships.
Single Scorpios will be looking for a relationship that has a future in it. They will be surprise by their choices.
Direction for Scorpio 2013
2013 is the year to grow up. During the year many Scorpios will feel like they are getting old, feel the need to establish a future for themselves, both financially, and on a relationship level.
This year will not tolerate any attempts to avoid difficulties; they will bounce back two times worse. The best way to handle the energies is deal with any issue as soon as it arises, as best as possible.
Scorpios who will shoulder their responsibilities will be rewarded with a clear path, and a lot of peace of mind, helping them establish very solid foundations for the future.

As digital technology becomes increasingly ubiquitous, it's no surprise that prices continue to drop drastically. Ten years ago sticking with a disposable point-and-shoot was a better option than buying a cheap digital camera—but those days are long gone. There are plenty of high-performing, inexpensive digital cameras on the market today. They may lack some of the bells and whistles of higher-end models, but they won't break the bank. Here are our top five choices that retail for less than $200.
Samsung WB350F
An update to the popular 250F model, this time with vintage casing and several unique color options, the Samsung WB350F is our top aesthetic choice. Style doesn't mean sacrificing function, however.
• 16.2 megapixel resolution
• 21x optical zoom
• Wi-Fi enabled with SMART features for super fast social media uploads
• 1080p HD video function
• Touch screen option
• Only compatible with micro SD memory cards
• Remote viewfinder function isn't on par with other cameras
• Small sensor (printing larger than 8×10 will be grainy)

Fujifilm FinePix Z1000EXR
The FinePix's sleek design more resembles a smartphone than a point-and-shoot, but the images are definitely camera-quality.
• Three sensor options to choose from for more control in low-light situations
• 5x optical zoom
• Can use viewing screen as shutter button, making it more intuitive than other LCD models
• Wi-Fi enabled with Wireless Image Transfer option (can send photos straight to smartphone)
• Ships from Japan, so users needing manual will need to download English version online
• Battery compartment cover is a bit cheap feeling
• Smooth lens cover exterior makes it not very klutz-proof

Canon PowerShot ELPH 340 HS
The Canon ELPH series is easy to use, lightweight, and delivers higher-quality images than most smartphones in sharp resolution with little noise pollution.
• 16 megapixel resolution
• 12x optical zoom
• Wi-Fi enabled, making sharing easy
• Creative filters available
• Can use zoom lens when shooting video
• Shots using zoom lens can be fuzzy

• No touch screen
• Can't select multiple photos if uploading using on-board Wi-Fi
Buy it here
Sony WX80/B
This is the cheaper cousin of the Sony Cyber-shot RX100, but boasts the same Carl Zeiss lens that made the RX100 the premiere point-and-shoot on the market.
• Can shoot panorama function continuously
• Takes good photos in low-light
• Faster frame rate than ELPH series
• Includes "Easy" setting for inexperienced users
• Wi-Fi enabled
• No touch screen option
• 2.7-inch LCD screen is small; can be difficult to use if you have large hands
• Short battery life, can't charge via a USB and use at the same time
Buy it here
General Electric X2600
You may know GE for refrigerators and microwaves, but they're still in the camera business too and this model hits the mark. Shaped like a DSLR, it's the perfect fit for someone used to a larger camera interested in the ease of a cheap point-and-shoot.
• Creative settings (ie: fish eye, macro zoom, panorama)
• 15x optical zoom, 6x digital zoom
• Can use either LCD screen or viewfinder for more imaging control
• Short-ish battery life (roughly 300 shots without flash or video)
• Auto focus doesn't always hit your mark
• Manual only available on CD or online

Posted: 24/11/2011 at 15:27
Bonjour Carol,
Thank you for inspiring with clear thoughts, I am a novice at gardening but I am going to try this. In fact I plan to pollinate a few other things and time seems to be of the essence so I better get going now. Mind you I am only in my thirties!
You are so knowledgeable, we need more people like you to get the younguns going, I understand Monty is busy but i am doing my bit on facebook trying to hook all my friends on the joys of gardening.
All the best!

I don't really consider myself a team player. I've never been excited about sharing or compromise (which makes me really fun to live with, as you can imagine). And yet, in the last several months, two good friends have asked me to collaborate with them on big projects.
The first was a dinner party for twenty women. It didn't need to be fancy or involved, except that we wanted it to be. Through a long series of emails, discussing the merits of lasagna versus baked stuffed chicken versus braised meat, we finally decided on a "deconstructed stew" theme, with glazed carrots, mashed potatoes, and beef slow-cooked in a pot of simmering wine and broth. And then just for kicks, we added pesto palmiers, cheese and crackers, mushroom farro soup, orange cream tarts, truffles, and cranberry bliss bars to the menu. Also mulled wine and flavored waters.
Around this time, the call for proposals to present at the BlogHer Food conference was released, and Brady had asked me if I was interested in submitting a proposal with her about free photo post-processing software programs. Of course I was! Brady and I got our proposal accepted, and so we're traveling to Seattle the second week of June to talk about editing photos, and, most importantly, doing it using free software.
Surprisingly, to myself at least, both projects have been unqualified successes. The dinner party was great fun, to plan, to prepare, to serve, and to eat, and my friend invited me to host with her again next year, so I couldn't have been too hard to work with! Brady and I are still in the beginning stages of planning our presentation for the BlogHer Food conference, but just the fact that our proposal was accepted is a positive sign of our ability to work together. Maybe I'm not so bad to team up with after all.

Printer Friendly Recipe
Wine-Braised Beef
Serves 4-6
The goal was that the main dish be stew-like without being stew. It was going to be served on plates, so it couldn't be too saucy, but we wanted meltingly tender chunks of beef. A cheaper cut of meat so we could serve a crowd was definitely a bonus. It also doesn't hurt that there's no last-minute work and it can be made in advance and actually improves with being stored overnight.
I'm a big fan of Yellowtail's wine for recipes like this. It's cheap but pretty good. I used a Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon blend.
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 (3 to 3½-pound) boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 ounce pancetta, diced into ⅛-inch cubes
1 yellow onion, diced fine
1 medium carrot, diced fine
1 celery stalk, diced fine
3 cloves garlic, minced
1½ cups dry red wine
1½ cups chicken broth
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice
1 sprig thyme
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
1. Heat the oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Pat the meat dry, season it generously with salt and pepper, and arrange the pieces, without touching, in the Dutch oven. (You may need to do this in two batches.) Cook the meat, without stirring or flipping, for 2-3 minutes, until the bottoms are deeply browned. Turn the chunks of meat and brown a second side. Transfer the meat to a plate. Discard any fat in the pan (but leave the cooked-on brown bits).
2. In the same pot over medium heat, cook the pancetta until fat starts to render, 3-5 minutes. Add the onion, carrot, and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges of the onions start to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic; cook and stir for about one minute. Pour the wine into the pot, scraping up the sticky brown bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the stock, tomatoes with their juice, thyme sprig, and reserved meat back to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Once the liquid simmers, reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pot, and simmer slowly until the meat is tender, about 3 hours.
3. Mix the butter and flour in a small bowl until smooth. Remove the thyme sprig from the pot. Whisk the butter/flour paste into the sauce. Increase the heat to medium to medium-high and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is thickened. Serve, topping each portion with a sprinkling of parsley.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — This past winter was brutal and harsh, but it was not enough to impact the local Emerald Ash Borer insect population.
Ellen Speicher, assistant horticulture director at Mill Creek MetroParks, said it just was not cold enough.
"The larvae are good at surviving cold weather and would really need to get temperatures ranged from minus-20 to minus-30 to really impact the population," Speicher said.
She estimates only a small percentage of the insects were killed during the cold snap at the beginning of the year.
"We would estimate only about 10 percent of the larvae were killed, but that is barely going to slow down the progression of the insect," Speicher said.
Kevin Crump, with The Davey Tree Expert Company in Kent, said there are a few options to help slow down the progression of the Emerald Ash Borer. One is known as a systemic treatment, which also is healthy for the environment.
"We put some insecticide into the roots. It becomes part of the tree and then it works on the insects from the inside out. That is the most eco-friendly way to go," Crump said.
He said he can't even estimate how many ash trees have been lost because of the infestation, which started over a decade ago.
