Teavana -- If you don't want to buy something, too bad.
I almost smacked the Teavana lady when my girlfriend and I entered the shop yesterday and the cashier would not stop bugging us about products. We looked at cast iron teapots and suddenly she would not shut up. I can understand you may be in a quota and need to get some sales done, but most stores have someone that says "Can I help you find something..?" and then lets you be.
Is it just me, or does every Teavana do this? Furthermore, is it just this company alone or is it every other bulk tea store?
Lets take this to a test. Go into a bulk tea shop and see how many times the employees attempt to interact with you. Then go into a Teavana and do the same (be sure to bring a pen and paper, because it will be a big number).
I have the exact opposite problem in my shop.
I've never been to a Teavana store myself but I've heard a ton of bad things about then, both in the way they treat their employeees (which is REALLY bad voodoo for me) and in the way they deal with customers. And frankly there have been too many of these accounts from so many different people to dismiss them as just 'bad luck' or 'disgruntled ex-employees'.
There's a thread on Adagio's TeaChat on the subject if anyone wants to have a look: http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7509
Here is another account of the high-pressure sales practices at the store. Fairly recent, Summer, 2009
I've never had the chance to shop at one, they haven't made it to where I live. Though, frankly, I've never been turned on by their marketing message – I'm actually put off a great deal by marketing tea as a health product.
We have a slogan on our site: Drinking tea for the health benefits is like having sex for the exercise. Kinda sums up my opinion about pushing tea by telling people its good for them.
Yes! Exactly! That is precisely how I feel about the matter. Good things shouldn't be pushed on people for the health benefits. Rather, one should luxuriate in the sensual pleasures, especially those which have no significant downsides (like tea).
Teavana says their tea is "healthy"? What a joke! Taste their samples sometime; they are unusually sweet. All of them. This leads me to believe they either add something into their tea leaves to make it flavored, or they add some kind of sweetener to the brewed samples.
They sweeten their samples with that special rock sugar that they try to market as being somehow better than normal sugar.
I agree that drinking tea for the health benefits alone is not what tea is about. Having said that, I also understand using health benefits as a marketing strategy. To some first timers, health benefits may be an attractive point that sparks their interest in tea. Growing up, I hated vegetables but ate them anyway because my parents said they were good for me. As I grew older, I learned to love most vegetables and now I can't get enough. I think the same could be true for tea and if someone begins drinking tea just for the health benefits and learns to love it for it's taste, I fully support them.
I have a friend that works for Teavana. They do sweeten their samples with their german rock sugar. Sugar is sugar, and your body reacts to all sugars the same, but I've compared it to all other sweeteners and it is the only sweetener I've tried that only enhances the tea's flavor without imparting it's own flavor. So I do keep some around.
And in reply to that link – Oh man. I have read several accounts of Teavana "accidentally" pouring more tea than requested. The more and more you read, you start to wonder how can these all be "accidental" over-pours. Eek. Shady. :/
I agree Ashley. Now I'm not going to ask someone to pick out 4 tea leaves to get the exact ounceage I desire. But I've heard of some cases where 2oz was rounded up to 6… I don't think so!
Because there are so many people (customers) in the Teavana I have visited most of the associates are behind the counter with the tea and dealing with those customers. There is a greeter but they aren't too interactive…just says HI and that's it…basically…
The experience in my "local" Teavana is similar to TeaEqualsBliss. The store is so busy that getting someone's attention is pretty difficult (the nearest store is about an hour away, but we end up at that mall about once every month or two).
I was in a Boston suburb (forget which one) for a business trip some time ago and ended up in their mall twice that week, the Teavana was empty. I went once myself and then took a coworker once. The sales there were low-pressure and the store was empty and calm. I liked it, especially compared to my "home" store!
I had a decent experience at Teavana, they weren't too pushy. My friend in Florida, though, came into the one by her and pointed at the reasonably priced Earl Grey she was looking for. The salesperson pretty much ignored this and pushed her into buying a much more expensive one, as well as buying a tin she didn't need. She said she felt shamed into buying it. They must have been pretty intimidating, because she's not easily sold on items. She's ordering from online companies from now on.
Teavana is the only store in my general vicinity that sells anything besides Lipton, Tazo, Bigelow, etc. I'm pretty sure that commission is a large part of their paycheck. There's this one transvestite that always pours in an ounce or two more than you ask for and says, "Is that alright?" like you're actually going to say, "No, that's not alright! Do it again!", but I'm sure some people probably do. Though she is a little pushy about buying those $7 tins for everything, she's alright. From what I've seen, the rest of the employees are consistently mild mannered and respectful.
to clarify: they do not receive commission. if the store does well enough during the month, employees occasionally receive a small bonus.
We receive 2% of our sales if we make a certain dollar amount per hour, averaged over a month. AGMs get .25% of the store's sales if the store reaches its goal, plus 1% of his own sales if he reaches his. GMs receive 1% of the store's sales if the entire store reaches a certain level, and many stores are 1,000,000+ a year. The goal varies by store.
I've never worried about it. I've found that forgetting about the sales aspect and just helping people find what they need have been my better days, both in how happy I am when I clock out and in the bonus check I get almost every month.
It's very important to the story that the employee was a "transvestite." Because obviously this makes them a bad person, and you're right to use the term in this way because it definitely isn't a mean spirited or bigoted thing to do. Right?
I remember going in once somewhat recently, and watching as an employee managed to convince a woman to buy a pound of a tea she had never tried – and a tin to go with it, in case she liked it and wanted to buy more.
I got familiar enough with the employees that they didn't bother heckling me, and as the employees shifted over the years, I kept the attitude of non-naiveté and they don't try too hard with me.
I have only been to the Teavana here once (so far, I plan to go again later this week). They were really helpful about our tea questions and informative, but not pushy. The tea guy told us about the buy more, get a bigger discount deal, but he let it go as soon as he finished. Also, was offered a tin, but it was no big deal when I said no thanks. I bought some brewed tea and some in a bag to make later. I liked it there, but one trip doesn't always tell you the whole story.
O_O i found a Teavana near me in the mall that i have avoided for 3 years but couldnt find anything else to do with a friend and we were in the area…well we walked in and were swarmed by 2 employees this was VERY overwhelming for me so i had a sample and left. because of them acting like guard dogs they lost a sale because the sample of tea i had i would have bought…i may go back and stake out the store until its busy and run in and buy it or buy online.
The best way to deal with them is to go check out the tea wall on the website, pick a few you would like to try, and then strut in there like a regular who knows exactly what they're doing, even if you aren't and/or don't. Be sure to grab one of the little catalog booklets on the way out. It's a real time saver for this sort of thing.
:D Thank you!! ill have to try that out :) the mall does have a godiva in it too so i will be back there once i finish my tin of hot cocoa :p (another one of a vices!!)
i frequenlty wait until i have a large enough order to buy online, or do as suggested above and strut in with a specific list and fire it off "2 oz rooibos tropica, 1 pound rock sugar, 4 oz snow geisha, i already have the tins, thank you)
I hate to burst your Teavana bubble here, but dealing w/Teavana online is also a nightmare. There seems to be constant problems with trying to order on the website without any snafus. I was entitled to free shipping, based on the amount spent, and my current account wouldn't show it, so I had to create an ADDITIONAL account. I first tried calling customer service, but I was on-hold for over 1/2 hour. I left a message on Teavana's company voicemial…NO return call. I sent written messages on their website…NO response. I e-mailed customer servicece …NO reponse. I left a message on their voicemail…NO repsonse. One of the items I wanted to order was a tea that was on special (good discount), but since they never responded, the tea was no longer on sale. My second order, from the additional account I was forced to create, included a damaged item, 2 "out out-if-stock items that were suppose to be "in stock", and NEITHER order contained the "free sample" as promised online and in their brochure. While "on hold" to speak to a customer service rep, the on-hold message offers (almost every minute) the ability to leave your phone number so a Teavana customer service rep can call you back. After 1-hour of holding, I decided to go with the offer (BUT had little faith that I would ACTUALLY receive a return call as nobody fron the company ever responded previously), but I attempted to do this, and was just disconnected. I'm fairly certain that had I remained holding all day, my call would have never been picked up. This company has HORRIBLE customer service!

Cider Australia, a coalition of cider growers, producers and manufacturers is pushing back against lobbying efforts in Canberra by the spirits industry to overhaul the way alcohol is taxed that would see the tax on a glass of cider quadruple.
Supported by Foster's, currently the largest producer of cider in Australia with brands like Bulmer's and Strongbow, Cider Australia has written to all members of parliament in the lead up to the May budget arguing a new tax proposal by the spirits industry to tax cider at the same level as pre-mixed spirits would destroy a local industry that is creating jobs in the agricultural and manufacturing sector.
A spokesman for Cider Australia has labelled a budget proposal paper produced by the Distilled Spirits Industry Council of Australia, which calls for in part a tax hike on cider, as "misleading, disingenuous and deceptive".
"Cider Australia has significant concerns in relation to the push for change to cider taxation, which is being heavily lobbied by the DSICA," a letter to all members of Parliament reads.
"This body [the DSICA] is made up almost exclusively of multinational companies who rely on primary industry in their home countries, but are lobbying the Australian government to impose a killer tax on the Australian cider industry.
"Further, the DSICA lobby paper is purposefully misleading and deceptive in its "reform of cider taxation" content."
The DSICA which represents big liquor companies like Diageo, Bacardi and Remy Cointreau, proposes a rationalised alcohol tax system based on a volumetric tax across all alcohol products that taxes drinks based on their alcohol content.
The distilled spirits industry has argued traditional ciders are robbing its market on the back of the massive price advantage they enjoy. It argues that to consumers, ciders and pre-mixed spirits are the same, contain the same level of alcohol and should therefore be treated the same by the Tax Office.
Its budget submission would see traditional cider, currently taxed under the WET system, have its tax rate lifted from roughly 23¢ per standard drink to the level paid by ready-to-drink spirits which is around 95¢ tax per drink. The DSICA believes this would raise $496 million in additional revenue over the forward estimates.
In response Cider Australia is calling for no overall increase in total revenue from the cider sector as well as a reform of the WET rebate to remove unintended recipients and alleviate unintended consequences of the system that are distorting supply decisions.
"Further, Cider Australia proposes that if any changes are made to the current WET scheme, then Australian produced cider should be taxed in line with Australian produced wine. This is the logical position for an industry that mirrors the wine industry from growers, producers and manufacturers through to sales and distribution.
"All Australian apple and pear growers and cider producers are calling on your support to reject the lobbying by the DSICA and to support the growing Australian cider industry and its local benefiters, the Australian orcharding communities and families across the nation."
Foster's is also lobbying hard on the issue.
"We are concerned that the imported spirits industry is again aggressively lobbying for reform to the taxation of traditional ciders," a Foster's government relations manager said in a letter to Cider Australia.
"The arguments raised…fail to reflect the current situation relating to traditional cider and ignore the devastating impact an excise change would have on the traditional cider industry, as well as apple and pear producers.
"If traditional cider was moved from the WET regime into the spirits, the tax rate would increase by over 140 per cent. It would have an immediate impact upon the Australian cider industry and local apple and pear growers. It is estimated sales would decline by up to 30 per cent.

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan's Acer Inc (2353.TW) said on Monday it would remain closer to U.S. chipmaker Intel (INTC.O), even though Microsoft (MSFT.O) also embraces rival ARM ARM.L for its new Windows 8 operating system.
The world's No.4 PC vendor has given an upbeat outlook for the second half after delivering a quarterly net profit that lagged market expectations in April, betting on the launch of Microsoft's (MSFT.O) new Windows system and more slimline ultrabook computers.
The company is recovering from two consecutive quarters of losses in April to September last year and a management shake-up.
Acer said on Monday, ahead of the opening of Taiwan's annual Computex trade fair, that it would formally launch new ultrabook and tablet designs after Microsoft puts its new windows system in the market, expected in the fourth quarter, with the first shipments starting in August and volume shipment commencing in September.
The first wave of Windows 8 products will be using Intel chips, while ARM-based designs will not be in market until 2-4 months later, expected in the first quarter.
"Finally the couple (Windows and Intel) recover their relationship," Acer Chairman J.T. Wang told reporters at a small group interview. "We are more familiar with the Windows ecosystem, our supply chain is also mainly in the Window ecosystem."
Wang said Acer has no plans so far to launch non-tablet devices using ARM designs.
"According to engineer studies, unless we go into ARM 64-bit, otherwise performance is still not so great," he said. "ARM is a newcomer, young and attractive but it takes some time."
Acer is showcasing new tablet computer models in slate and convertible design - or with and without conventional keyboards - based on the Windows 8 system at Computex this year, as well as two touch ultrabooks, which use aluminium metallic casings which enable cost competitiveness, and come in 12mm thickness.
"I have never been so supportive to Microsoft," Wang told a news conference earlier on Monday. "We have a good opportunity to grow again after the Windows 8 launch. Acer is fully committed to deliver a full line of Windows 8 products."
Acer said prices for these new gadgets would be announced after the launch of Windows 8. But in a powerpoint at the presentation it said the touch ultrabook would range from $1,799, significantly higher than the below $1,000 non-touch ones currently in the market.
Ultrabooks are an ultra-thin notebook PC that is similar to Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) Macbook Air and offers some of the technological chic of the iPad and other tablets.
But some investors are concerned that the expensive components used in ultrabooks, such as solid-state drives, make them too pricey for many consumers.
In April, Acer lowered its ultrabook shipment contribution forecast for 2012 to 12-20 percent from 25-35 percent, but still saw its ultrabook shipments in the second quarter would double from the first quarter and they would keep growing for the rest of the year, with four new models planned.

Maybe other values are incorrect but I believe that are all Ok.
I can't compare side by side but I think that it work alike, It's a clean booster that makes easier to use the volume control as gain control i addiction it makes the picking more "gain-responsible" much more than other overdrive or booster that I've played.

Freshman Texas Sen. Ted Cruz certainly made a name of himself for his extra sharp questioning of Defense Secretary nominee Sen. Chuck Hagel.
But the names vary depending on the pundit, ranging from "conservative champion" to "clown."
Among conservative analysts, his passionate performance was a valiant effort to protect the well-being of the country from a dangerous and unqualified nominee. To Democrats, however, Cruz was a serious hot dog and the Scud Missile of the Senate.
In his first five minutes of cross-examination, Cruz managed to portray Hagel as anti-Semitic and anti-American. The claims made by Cruz, based on Hagel's response to a caller on a live TV program on Al Jazeera, are:
- Hagel believes Israel committed War Crimes
- Hagel agreed that America was "the world's bully"
- Hagel accused Israel of a "sickening slaughter"
Point: Cruz as the conservative champion
Fox News' Sean Hannity played a clip of the exchange on his show, saying Cruz caught Hagel completely off-guard and was "defenseless".
"This was not a good day for Hagel. That was a powerful moment," Hannity said.
Fox News contributor Liz Cheney agreed, saying Hagel's performance was embarrassing.
Counterpoint: Cruz as the conservative clown
On MSNBC's Morning Joe panel, Joe Scarborough refused to mention the senator by name.
"I won't even mention his name. The senator from Texas who turned it into a clown show with his questioning."
Scarborough, a former Republican congressman from Florida, said Cruz was unfair in his questioning in an attempt to win the attention of headlines. He said the questioning was offensive to American taxpayers.
Andrew Kaczynski of Buzzfeed tweeted, "Oh wow, Ted Cruz really took that Hagel quote out-of-context to make him sound anti-Semitic." Later that afternoon, Buzzfeed posted videos of the quotes Cruz presented in context. Buzzfeed argues that…
- Hagel didn't mean to agree that Israel had committed war crimes, instead he was agreeing to a statement that the world needs stronger leadership
- Hagel never explicity called America a bully, and blamed some of the bully perception on the Bush Administration
- Hagel described the violence as a "sickening slaughter on both sides"
So the question is, who is Cruz to you, Texans? Below are the videos posted by Buzzfeed, so you can decide for yourself.

This means they find different mystery shopping jobs opportunities for you. You get paid for evaluating different products in your area when you shop and they pay you for it. Jobs are not always available in your area, so you need to make sure to check the site daily so you don't miss any local opportunities.
Pay Attention to Offers
When joining any mystery shopping program, you have to keep in mind that each job has it's own set of rules, so always make sure you go over the terms before joining. For instance, some programs may ask that you sign up for a trial, which may involve your credit card and having to cancel certain subscriptions put on a time frame. Of course, this will only be with some offers and you are not at all required to do this if you don't wish to. However, that's why it's important to pay attention to the different offers, how they work and how you earn with them. Mystery shopping jobs come with a lot of skepticism and this is one of the reasons. Many people automatically assume that Shopping Jobs terms apply to ALL programs, which is just not true.

Some vendors may expect you to have experience and some may not. If you are not accepted for the offer, you will most likely not be compensated.
About Evaluating Products
There are many different ways to evaluate a product. A common way is that they may ask you to do a trial testing, so they may ask you to sign up for a free trial. Some of these companies may charge you for the product at the end of the evaluation and some may even charge you for the shipping. This is why it is important to take the time and go over their terms of use. You will want to only sign up with reputable companies so that you are assured to make money. Not all companies are going to be fair, so you need to use good judgement and be selective with your choice of products. Don't just sign up for everything that comes your way. If you do this carefully, you could make some decent extra cash on the side doing what you already love to do.
Payment Terms
Minimum payout for shoppingjobs.com is $50 and all payments are made by paypal. They will post all completed earnings from assignments on the 1st and 15th of every month. If you recently earned Payouts may be delayed for the next payout term.

If you participated in Evergreen's Freedom Run on July 4th, chances are you received a goody bag at the end of the race, including a coupon for Menchie's in Bergen Village.
In addition, on that day, Menchie's donated 15 percent of its sales to Mt. Evans Home Health and Hospice.
Bike and ski racers now have a place in Bergen Park to buy their equipment.
A Culture of Speed closed its doors in Dumont and opened a shop just east of the Whippletree at 1342 County Road 65. The shop operates in the front of the building, while JR's Landscaping operates in the back.
Owner Harry Rhulen, who lives in Soda Creek, said the move to Bergen Park was a no-brainer.
The Angry Llama is feeling less mad these days after returning to its Conifer roots.
The restaurant reopened April 10 at the Conifer Crossings building, the Angry Llama's original space.
"We really wanted to come back to Conifer," said Cortland Coffey, student director for Journey Community Church. "A lot of people missed having a place to just come and hang out."
Taking care of customers is what it's all about for Christy "Red" Mills at the Loaf & Jug in Bergen Park.
Her rapport with customers led to her receiving the company's President's Choice Award for outstanding customer service.
Mills was one of four employees selected from among the company's 3,000 locations in seven states and received a Waterford crystal vase.
Bergen Park has a new yoga studio in the Bergen Village shopping center.
Called True Yoga, the studio offers 33 classes a week in both traditional and hot yoga taught by 20 instructors. It also has a retail area, and full bathrooms that include showers.
Classes are available at all times during the day, including early morning, morning, lunchtime and evening.
Owner Beth Pearlman is no stranger to Evergreen. She was a teacher at both Parmalee and Wilmot elementary schools before deciding to open the 1,800-square-foot studio.
The Village Gourmet is a shop that appeals to the senses.
When you walk into the Bergen Park kitchenware and gift shop, your nose is greeted with the smell of fresh-brewed coffee. Samples always are available by the door.
Your eyes see the vibrant colors of everything from dishes and kitchen gadgets to gourmet food and cookware.
Your fingers can touch the soft towels and shiny pot and pans.
If you walk to the back of the shop, your taste buds can partake in handmade chocolate truffles.
Colorado Children's Theatre has moved, setting up its theatrical shop in Evergreen North next to Yarn West.
Mom-and-daughter theater arts teaching team Karen Tobey and Kerri Monnerat are thrilled with their move into the space at 3731 Evergreen Parkway, leaving their location on Meadow Drive.
Cupid made her mark in downtown Evergreen last week in honor of Valentine's Day.
Cupid could be seen, as she put it, tiptoeing and dancing through the downtown area tossing rose petals.
"I just wanted to spread love in downtown," said Cupid, also known as Tricia Wales. Wales, who works at the Holly Berry flower shop, is president of the Evergreen Downtown Business Association.
Jeffco once again saw an improvement in its housing market last year as foreclosures decreased for a third year in a row in the county.
In 2012, Jeffco had 2,650 foreclosure actions initiated, according to a recent report from the county's public trustee. That number was down 206 from 2011 and 1,377 from 2009, when 4,027 homes saw the foreclosure process start, a record number for Jeffco coming at the height of the foreclosure crisis.
The building that formerly housed the Rib Crib restaurant on Meadow Drive has a new owner and several new tenant prospects.
The 12,000-square-foot, three-story building just north of Da Kind Soups has been renamed Meadow Drive Village, though owner David Hatch figures it will be at least 10 years before people know the building by that name.
Hatch, of Highland Renovations North LLC, lives in Louisville but travels regularly to Evergreen to oversee the building's remodel. He began with adding some landscaping soon after purchasing the building on Oct. 1.

Pubic Lice
Round shaped body with antennae are enough to describe the appearance of pubic lice. The movement is facilitated with the assistance of six legs and they have got grey colour. The mouth of pubic lice comes with those parts with the help of which they can easily suck or penetrate in the body. They feed on blood of human beings for survival. The claws of pubic lice help them in gripping hair shafts of human beings. The eggs of pubic lice require hatching for one week in order to grow.
After getting the stage of a nymph, they take another one week for coming onto the stage of an adult. After this female lice are ready to lay legs and normally, 30 eggs are laid by female lice at any time. Female lice use glue like substance so that eggs can be attached with hair shaft. Though pubic lice are present in the hair of pubic but sometimes they take shelter in the hair of armpits and facial hair. Sexual contact is by far one of the most common ways by which an individual gets pubic lice. An infected person if comes in contact with an uninfected person then, public lice get an ideal way to be on the pubic skin of uninfected person.
Being infected is a stage where you can do nothing but to prevent yourself except with help of an expert physician. At earlier stages, the infestation can be reduced using proper mechanisms. Intimidation may be higher in case you notice this thing late. You may get itchiness, rashes if you do not take effective measures. One should use medicated creams and medicated shampoo in order to remove pubic lice completely.
Public lice are having round shaped bodies with big antennae. They feed on blood of human beings. One should use medicated creams and medicated shampoo for the removal of pubic lice.

I test knit Julie's Strada Headband pattern, and clearly this is the worlds cutest headband. I'm crazy for the bow! It's just such a perfect, quintessential bow shape. The next time I need a bow to adorn a project (and I'm starting to think that it's a mistake that more of my projects don't have bows) I'm going to be using this pattern.
I knit mine with just under half a skein of TFA Yellow Label DK Weight yarn in the Atlantic colourway. This was a really quick and effective knit, great for leftover yarn and the perfect knitted gift. Yay Julie!
Ravelry project page here.
On another note, I spent an afternoon dyeing one of a kind colourways for the Etsy shop last week. Most were snatched up over the weekend, but there are still a few of my personal faves available.
What yarn weight/bases are you guys mostly looking for in the One of a Kind Etsy shop? A little bit of everything? Mostly sock yarns? Sweater quantities of Aran and DK? I really enjoyed my afternoon of dyeing without any rules and plan on doing it more often, but I'd love to hear what you all think!

April 14, 2009
By Paul Feinberg
Viewed through the prism of the current financial crisis, the excesses of executive compensation can now be seen in a new light. In a panel discussion titled "Executive Compensation: How Much Is Too Much?" convened in UCLA Anderson's Korn Convocation Center on April 14, 2009, the management school took its turn in addressing this issue in an entertaining and informative session.
The session, moderated by UCLA Anderson's Dean Judy Olian, featured Robin Ferracone, founder and CEO of RAF Capital LLC and founder and executive chair of Farient Advisors; Jim Barrall, partner in the law firm Latham and Watkins and an expert in benefits and compensation; and Prof. David Lewin (MBA '67, Ph.D. '71), UCLA Anderson's Neil H. Jacoby Chair in Management. The panel covered a wide range of issues in sixty minutes, from the most outlandish executive perks to the types of legislation expected to come as a result of the recession and the subsequent attention Congress is paying to executive compensation issues.
The panel agreed for the most part that "alignment" or in the case of the current crises "misalignment" was a major part of the problem people have with executive compensation. Alignment is the concept that corporate performance is tied to executive compensation. In the recent past, executive compensation was all too often tied to short-term gains that appeared on a company's books for a quarter or two, but were not reflective of actual corporate gains or success."The alignment issue is key," Ferracone said. "Alignment is far more important than the magnitude of corporate salaries and benefits."
"Regulation is coming," Lewin said, noting that there has always been compensation regulation on the lower end of the pay scale in the form of minimum- and living-wage laws. "Executive compensation regulation is coming from the government, that's top down, and from shareholders, that's bottom up." The least likely place for regulation, Lewin believes, is in between, where compensation committees and boards of directors lie. Lewin believes that such entities are often too close to CEOs and that more diversity is needed on boards of directors as a result.
Barrall concurred with the idea that shareholders will play a larger role in executive compensation when all is said and done. "Shareholders will have (some) say on pay," Barrall said. "Shareholders will vote on the compensation of executives." But Barrall said - and Ferracone agreed - that tinkering with the tax code (as is being discussed and as has been done in the past) won't work.

Of course, when I got a little older, I realized that not everyone celebrated the Italian Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. I thought that was weird too.
Turns out it's not weird at all. The Italian Feast of the Seven Fishes, is celebrated primarily among southern Italians. And Rhode Island, the state with the highest percentage of Italians, is home to many southern Italians.
This centuries-old feast celebrated on Christmas Eve has its roots in Medieval Italy and the Roman Catholic tradition of abstinence. When Catholics abstained from meat on holy days, they typically ate fish. Why seven types of fish? Historians believe it may be symbolic of Roman Catholicism's seven sacraments. Why Christmas Eve? Because Catholics would await the stroke of midnight, which was the time for the birth of the baby Jesus. That also explains why so many Italians attend midnight mass on Christmas Eve.
Of course, it's not always easy staying awake after savoring a seafood dinner of epic proportions. Though most families enjoy classic southern Italian dishes such as fried smelts and linguine with white clam sauce, many families (like my husband's) have their own specialties, such as Gram's stuffed squid in tomato sauce.
For my family it was pretty much the same every year. A first course consisted of fried smelts, fried calamari, snail salad, and boiled shrimp cocktail.
Then came two pasta dishes such as pasta aioli (pasta made with olive oil, garlic, and pepper) and linguine with mixed seafood.
Then for the finale: baked stuffed shrimp with a side of sauteed garlicky broccoli rabe. Most of us were too full to eat the baked stuffed shrimp, since it was last course in a dinner that stretched over 4-5 hours. Plus you had to save room for cheesecake and Italian Christmas cookies, such as pizzelle, biscotti, and pignoli cookies.
When we don't make it home for Christmas Eve, Jeff and I usually make a big bowl of linguine with white clam sauce and reminisce. We just make sure there is a box of tissues nearby, since tears of laughter and sometimes sadness usually arise.
You don't have to be Italian or even celebrate Christmas to enjoy my Quick Italian Tuna and Olive Pasta. This flavorful dish is deliciously simple to make and simply delicious to eat anytime of the year.
I am delighted to send my pasta to Maryann of Finding La Dolce Vita and Joe of Italyville, who are co-hosting The Feast of the Seven Fishes.
I'm also delighted to share this dish with Giz and Psychgrad of Equal Opportunity Kitchen, the hosts of Blogger Aid: Because We Can Help. They're looking for a dish that you would feed to a hungry guest visiting your home during the holidays. Val of More Than Burnt Toast, Ivy of Kopiaste.. to Greek Hospitality and Giz of Equal Opportunity Kitchen have joined forces to create BloggerAid: Bloggers Uniting to Aid in the Alleviation of Hunger.

Finally, this pasta dish was made with Daregal Gourmet Herbs, fresh frozen herbs. No, that's not an oxymoron. Read about them here and enter for a chance to win some free herbs!
I recommend using a top quality tuna packed in olive oil, such as Flott, which can be found in most Italian specialty markets.
Quick Italian Tuna and Olive Pasta
This fast and easy Italian tuna pasta is simple enough to become a weeknight go-to meal yet elegant enough to serve for a holiday or special dinner party. I recommend using a top quality tuna packed in olive oil, such as Flott, which can be found in most Italian specialty markets.
Makes 4 servings
Print recipe only here.
2 (5-6 oz) cans or jars of Italian tuna packed in olive oil
1/2 cup sliced olives, such as Kalamata and green Cerignola
1 1/2 cups cannelini beans, rinsed
2 teaspoons lemon juice
the zest of half of a lemon
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley*
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 pound spaghetti
salt, to taste
In a large bowl combine tuna with its oil, sliced olives, beans, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Then stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil until well combined.
Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until al dente. Drain in a colander and return to pot. Add the tuna mixture to the pot and toss well. Stir in remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil until pasta is well coated. Warm until just heated through. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately. Garnish with additional chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
*Note: In addition to parsley, I sometimes add finely chopped celery leaves.

The African fish that lives fast and dies young
African annual fish take the adage 'live fast, die young' to a whole new level with the discovery that their short lifespan is accompanied by the most rapid sexual maturation of any vertebrate species. The find, reported in the open access journal EvoDevo as part of a series on extreme environments, adds to our knowledge of extremophile lifestyles.
Extreme environments can give rise to extreme adaptations. The tiny annual fish of Africa live in temporary puddles created by seasonal rainfall, and so must grow and reproduce quickly in order to lay their hardy eggs before the waters dry up.
African annual fish can grow up to 23% of their body length in a day, report Martin Reichard and colleagues, who studied wild-caught fish in captivity. One species, Nothobranchius kadleci started reproducing at 17 days old, at a size of just 31 mm, with a related species, N. furzeri maturing only one day later. The fish then produced eggs that developed to the hatching stage in as few as 15 days, making the time from one generation to the next as little as month – the most rapid sexual maturation time and minimum generation time of any known vertebrate species.
When the pools dry up, dormant embryos can survive in the dried mud for months, until the next rains come and the life cycle begins again. In the lab, half of embryos skipped dormancy when incubated on a peat substrate in a Petri dish. In the wild these individuals would populate secondary pools produced within a single rainy season after the primary pool desiccated. The findings suggest that rapid growth and maturation do not compromise subsequent fecundity.
Animals with a long life span can afford to take things slow. The tiny cave-dwelling salamander, olm (Proteus anguinus), which lives for over 100 years, takes 16 years to reach sexual maturity. But when the risk of mortality is high or lifespan shorter, animals reach sexual maturity earlier. The tiny goby, Schindleria, and females of house mouse lab strains (Mus musculus) become sexually mature at just 23 days old.
Earlier studies of a laboratory strain of an African annual fish suggested that it took the fish four weeks to mature, but this may have been an over-estimate. Previous reports of early maturation were based on anecdotal evidence, but this study is based on quantitative data and demonstrates that the rapid growth rate in the lab is still an underestimate compared to that in the wild.

I need to project very sharp images of digital photographs over short distances (~ten feet/3m) onto an opaque surface, like a wall. A digital projector doesn't do it for me. I've thought of going back to slides, and have done that to some extent, but I also want the Photoshop capability. There are two possibilities, both somewhat expensive, so I ask for opinions here. Would I get the best short range sharpness if I:1. Did the photoshop work, got the best possible print, then rephotographed the print with slide film and had the slides processed and then projected them; or2. Got a high-quality print and then projected it with a high-quality opaque projector?JC[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=92186\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

While the votes in the Australian election are still coming in, it looks early enough to say that conservative Tony Abbott has trounced liberal Kevin Rudd— and that Julian Assange's specially formed Wikileaks Party may not have done very well at all.
Assange himself was on the ticket for a Senate seat in Victoria. However, the results coming in so far suggest that the Wikileaks Party has little more than 1% of the vote counted so far— trailing behind the "Australian Sex Party."
As British blogger David Allen Green is pointing out on Twitter, Assange may struggle to gain one of Victoria's six seats, possibly losing out to the rather obscure special interest party the "Australian Motoring Enthusiasts Party":
Of course, the votes are still coming in so there is some hope for Assange yet — and it would be unfair to not note that the freshly formed party did have something of a problem given that Assange was trapped in a renovated female bathroom in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London.
As the Guardian points out today, another factor was a recent party preferencing scandal, whereby Pirate Party candidates in New South Wales and Western Australia were involved in a last-minute decision to put right-wing parties (including some very right wing parties) ahead of the Greens on the WikiLeaks party's Senate group voting tickets in those two states. The move seriously hurt the party's credibility with its more left wing base, Mami Cordell writes, and a number of campaign staff resigned.

Where to go on the Coromandel Peninsula
With stunning white sandy beaches, spectacular native bush and festivals all year round, the Coromandel Peninsula is a must-do.
Located within an hour and a half drive of the major centres of Auckland and Hamilton and their International Airports, it is easy to get to and well worth the visit. Go swimming, snorkelling or diving, take a boat to one of the nearby islands, try some sea kayaking, be fascinated by the amazing seascapes of the marine reserves or visit an artist's studio or museum. And for those who love their tramping and hiking, the Coromandel has a spectacular range of trails to explore, from short coastal walkways to multi day treks through native bush-land and along rugged coastlines.
Getting around the Coromandel and its townships is easy as roads are all pretty much tar-sealed and of a reasonable width. Just be a conscious driver if you are having to go slow in your Transfercar, camper or Motorhome and pull over to the side of the road if you have a queue of traffic behind you.
Below are some key places to stop at on your way around…..
Thames is the place to go for all your shopping and essentials on your way through to the smaller townships. It has all the normal trappings of a city like supermarkets, cinemas and a mall but includes some great local pubs cafes and boutique shops filled with local goodies.
The coast is great for a swim and a hot spot for locals to fish either off the rocks or out on the boat.
TairuaCoromandel Township
This is the cutest little township in the Coromandel. Even after the development of sealed roads and with them the hoards of wealthy land owners looking for a bach to match the Jones's next door, the town has kept much of its authenticity. With sweet little diners, a great local bakery, pubs and local shops, this is the place to stop for a few hours and just take a look around before heading off to one of the stunning beaches nearby.
Beautiful Tairua is situated on the East Coast of the Coromandel Peninsula. It's blessed with a beach made for soaking up the sun and playing in the surf and is a great spot for the kids as the water is warm and safe to swim in, being a sheltered harbour spot.
Navigate the estuary and rivers by kayak, walk local bush tracks, listen to the Tuis sing and dine in one of the exquisite Tairua cafes where home cooked goodies are a welcome treat after a day outdoors.
Pauanui is a favourite New Zealand holiday beach resort and community and is located an easy two hour drive from Auckland.
With access to a number of islands, Pauanui is a popular fishing and boating spot and having a beach that stretches for almost 3 kilometres, it is considered one of the favourite destinations for swimmers, surfers and general water sports enthusiasts.
Waihi StreamAccording to Bookabatch, Whangamata is rated as the top summer holiday spot for the fifth year running. That tells you something!
Although the most popular leisure activity in Whangamata would appear to be relaxing on the beach, roasting in the mid-day sun surrounded with crowds of people enjoying themselves, there is so much more to explore.
Big game fishing, mountain biking and walking in both native and exotic forests are but some of what you can do. Camping in the Wentworth Valley is another popular option, as is kayaking off the beach, water-skiing and windsurfing in the harbour, scuba diving, the activities are endless!
Waihi, is located at the Southern end of New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula and is surrounded by native bush, the stunning Karangahake Gorge and stretches of long white sandy beaches.
Alongside the thriving day community and great outdoors, the town and surrounding region has a rich and fascinating history. Part of this history includes over 100 years of mining of gold and silver which is still in operation today (both open-cast and underground) and exists alongside examples of the old methods of gold and silver extraction.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Albert Pujols and Mark Trumbo homered, Dan Haren pitched into the eighth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels extended their longest winning streak in nearly three years to eight games with a 5-1 victory over the Yankees on Tuesday night.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Albert Pujols and Mark Trumbo homered, Dan Haren pitched into the eighth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels extended their longest winning streak in nearly three years to eight games with a 5-1 victory over the Yankees on Tuesday night.
Mike Trout hit a run-scoring triple for the Angels, who have won 11 of 15. After a rough start to a season of high expectations, Los Angeles (26-25) is above .500 for the first time since opening day.
Haren (3-5) had seven strikeouts and no walks, coming through with a strong start after the Los Angeles bullpen had to pitch nine innings in relief of injured ace Jered Weaver during Monday's 9-8 victory.
Andy Pettitte (2-2) yielded nine hits and five runs over seven-plus innings for the Yankees.
Pujols hit a two-run shot for his 453rd career homer in the third inning, breaking a 34th-place tie with Carl Yastrzemski on baseball's career list. Trumbo followed up his game-ending shot Monday night by putting a solo shot deep into the fake rock pile behind center field at Angel Stadium in the sixth inning, a drive estimated at 443 feet.
Trout and Peter Bourjos also made spectacular outfield catches on long drives by Nick Swisher, slamming into the wall to rob him of extra-base hits in the second and seventh innings. Bourjos tracked down yet another long drive by Swisher in the eighth, making the catch on the run to strand two New York runners.
Swisher had a run-scoring single when he wasn't getting robbed by the Angels' young outfielders, but the Yankees lost their second straight after a five-game win streak.
Howie Kendrick also had a run-scoring single for the Angels, who hadn't won eight straight since July 2009. They haven't won nine in a row since 2005.
Ernesto Frieri struck out Robinson Cano with the bases loaded to end a hair-raising ninth inning. The Colombian right-hander recorded his 24th and 25th strikeouts in 12 hitless innings since the Angels acquired him on May 3, but Frieri also issued two walks with one out. After Trout made a diving catch in left, Frieri hit Alex Rodriguez to load the bases before fanning Cano with a high fastball.
Derek Jeter went 2 for 4 with a walk on the 17th anniversary of his major league debut with the Yankees, who passed the midway point of a nine-game road trip.
After a four-game losing streak for Haren, the three-time All-Star has won two straight starts in overwhelming fashion, with 21 strikeouts and no walks in 16 innings.
Pujols' two-run shot in the third inning was his fifth homer in eight games, his seventh in the past 14 days and his eighth of May. The three-time NL MVP has followed up his homerless April with a taste of the ferocious power Los Angeles expected to get from its $240 million investment, including 23 RBIs in his last 23 games.
Pettitte, who turns 40 next month, and the 37-year-old Jeter made their major league debuts in 1995, when Trout was 3 years old. The Angels' top rookie is putting on a show for the Yankees in this series at the plate and in the field.
Trout tripled home Bourjos with a drive to left in the third, easily beating the throw from the near outfield corner. One out later, Pujols homered into the Yankees' bullpen in left.
Torii Hunter played right field and went 1 for 4 with a sixth-inning single in his first game since leaving the Angels on May 14 to deal with his teenage son's arrest in a sexual assault investigation. The veteran outfielder missed 15 games.
NOTES: After struggling with his control earlier in the season, Haren has walked one batter in 22 2-3 innings over his last three starts. ... Pujols' homer was his first off Pettitte in 25 career at-bats. ... Ivan Nova takes the mound for the Yankees in Wednesday night's series finale. The Angels go for the sweep behind Ervin Santana. ... New York acquired RHP Ryota Igarashi off waivers from Toronto. ... Yankees INF/OF Russell Branyan, who hurt his lower back during spring training, has joined Single-A Tampa and was the starting DH Tuesday night. Branyan finished last season with the Angels

From the conservative point of view, why did Mitt Romney lose a presidential election that Steve Forbes and many others were predicting would be, in Steve's words, a "decisive victory" for the Republican challenger?
Here at Forbes, opinion editor John Tamny writes that it was Romney's economic advisers who cost him the election. Columbia business school dean Glenn Hubbard is too much of a skeptic on China trade, and he was misguided when he advocated policies that would increase demand for housing at a time when markets were calling for less investment in the sector. Harvard economist Greg Mankiw supported a cheaper dollar, a policy that is damaging to Americans' efforts to save and invest. American Enterprise Institute economist Kevin Hassett supported a misguided work-sharing idea where companies would reduce hours for some employees and create more jobs for others, missing the point that job creation comes from expanded investment, rather than slicing a finite pie. On taxes, Romney failed to explain his plan in the debates, and retreated from the idea that the 1% boost the economy, rather than drag it down. In an election that should have been a landslide, writes Tamny, Romney "had the wrong people whispering in his ear about economic policy."
At The Wall Street Journal, today's lead editorial calls Obama's victory "the definition of winning ugly" because instead of laying out an inspiring agenda for his second term, he portrayed Romney "as a plutocrat and intolerant threat" to various voting blocs that ultimately supported Obama, including single women, young people, cultural liberals, union workers and minority voters. The Journal also notes that Obama got a boost from Hurricane Sandy, as it gave Obama the chance to rise above partisanship and appear to be a strong leader. Obama also owes thanks to Chief Justice John Roberts, who "provided a salve of legitimacy" to Obamacare, and to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, whose monetary policies lifted asset prices, boosting the stock market and consumer confidence. The Journal says Romney failed effectively to defend his Bain Capital record, and faltered in his efforts to distinguish his economic plan from George W. Bush's. When it came to the minority vote, Romney also failed, sticking to immigration policies that were unpopular with Hispanics.
At The National Review, Kevin Williamson says Romney's downfall was his failure to sway Ohio voters, but Williamson does not so much blame Romney as attribute Obama's victory to the president being a "skillful demagogue," who capitalized on Ohioans' support of the auto bailout, their opposition to low capital gains taxes for the wealthy and their reluctance to see a repeal of Obamacare.
Also at the Review, Michael Tanner writes that it was not the Romney campaign that lost the election, but the Republican Party, which has failed to expand its demographic reach beyond white men. Republicans also failed to persuade young voters and Republicans' hard-line stance on immigration failed miserably with Hispanics, who helped Obama carry Nevada and Colorado. On social issues, Tanner says the Republicans have struck the wrong tone, sounding "intolerant and self-righteous" as they have opposed abortion rights and gay marriage. "The Republican brand was too easily associated with the words of Todd Akin," he writes. The Republicans also made a mistake when they indulged the "birther" proponents, and ultimately failed to offer an agenda for the future that was positive and hopeful enough to persuade swing voters.
Carrie Lukas, managing director of the Independent Women's Forum, writes on the Review's blog that Republicans needed to counter the Democrats' "war on women" argument. Romney and his camp should have clarified that they were not trying to restrict women's access to contraception, and they never made a winning argument about why Republican economic policies would be more likely to create jobs for women and reduce the deficit.
At The Washington Examiner, Byron York has a revealing piece where he describes a meeting late last night between top Romney aides, including Beth Myers and Eric Fehrnstrom, who gathered at the Westin Hotel in Boston to discuss the reasons for Romney's defeat. Hurricane Sandy had arrested Romney's momentum at a critical point in the campaign. Another factor: the Romney camp didn't effectively counter the barrage of Obama ads over the spring and summer that attacked Romney's personal wealth and his record at Bain Capital. Romney's aides also acknowledged the candidate's failure to appeal to Latino voters, and his lag in moving to the center after the polarizing primary season.
Erick Erickson, editor of RedState, writes that Romney lost because Obama simply ran a superior campaign. Says Erickson, "there was just a really good ground game from Barack Obama and a lot of smoke and mirrors from Team Romney and outside charlatans," including those who worked for Republican Super PACs, who never communicated an effective message. Erickson says, "Neither side put forth a serious agenda that stood for much of anything." While Obama's message was an attack on Romney, Romney "stood for nothing and everything at the same time." Romney's position-shifting blurred his message and made it tough for voters to know what he stood for. Also he didn't even try to win the support of Hispanic voters. Erickson adds that the weak slate of GOP senate nominees, including Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock, hurt Romney's prospects.
John Podhoretz at The New York Post agrees with Erickson that Obama's campaign was far superior to Romney's. Not only was the president's message more effective, but he ran a strong state-by-state get-out-the vote effort that delivered his victory. Obama also effectively persuaded voters that he inherited an America that was in dire straits when he took office, and worked hard to make things better, rallying the Democratic base and spurring those who had stayed home during the 2010 midterm elections to come out and vote. That included young people, African-Americans, Hispanics and, as Podhoretz says, "the killer app of 2012," single women. Concludes Podhoretz, "I fear very much what [Obama] is going to do to the country, but you have to admire this political master and his amazing handicraft."

For the first time, a woman has been added to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist list: Joanne Chesimard. The FBI and the state of New Jersey are now offering $2 million for information leading to her capture.
Chesimard was already wanted for several felonies, including bank robbery, when she was accused of killing New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster execution-style 40 years ago this month. She was convicted in 1977 and served prison time but escaped in 1979 by using a prison van in a dramatic jailbreak. By 1984, she surfaced in Cuba and was granted asylum by Fidel Castro. She remains there to this day.
To her supporters, Joanne Chesimard is Assata Shakur, unfairly targeted and convicted by the United States government. She has also become something of a cultural hero. Not only is she the step-aunt and godmother of rapper Tupac Shakur, but she has written an autobiography and was featured in a documentary while in Cuba. Hip-hop and rap artists have sung about her cause, including "A Song for Assata" by the rapper Common.
"It's unfortunate that someone involved in the murder of an officer, kidnappings, hostage takings and robberies in a 14-year span is revered by a segment of society," said Aaron Ford, the special agent in charge at the FBI's Newark division, in an interview with Christiane Amanpour.
"For us, justice never sleeps, justice never rests," Ford continued. "We're looking to bring her to justice because she committed a heinous act. She is a member of an organization which espoused hate against the U.S. government."
The FBI describes Chesimard as a revolutionary extremist and a member of the Black Liberation Army, a left-wing militant group. Though Cuba has sometimes cooperated with the U.S. in criminal matters and agreed to extradition, Chesimard's residence there for the last three decades has apparently been protected.
"We absolutely still consider her a threat," said Ford. "She is a menace to society still. She has connections and associations from members of that party she belonged to years ago. They are still espousing anti-government views."
Not only is Chesimard the only female on the terrorist list, she is only the second domestic terrorist to be added. The others are alleged members of overseas Islamic terrorist organizations.
Though the FBI has named her a terrorist, that designation is not without controversy.
"We have to look at it in the context of what just happened in Boston," said Lennox Hinds, Chesimard's long-time attorney, in a May 3 interview on "Democracy Now." "I think that with the massacre that occurred there, the FBI and the state police are attempting to inflame the public opinion to characterize her as a terrorist. Because the acts that she was convicted of have nothing to do with terrorism."
But Ford disagreed: "Any time an individual or group uses force or violence to intimidate, coerce or change the mission of a government, that is terrorism and in this case, it's domestic terrorism."

Fargo, N.D. — In 2007, a disease found elsewhere in the world began cropping up in potato plants in the United States. Named after the dark stripes it creates on cooked potatoes, zebra chip pathogen spreads by potato psyllid insects. From tablestock to chipping potatoes, it affects all market classes of potato plants causing them to die four to six weeks after infection.
To fight the invasive disease and develop disease management strategies for the $3.5 billion U. S. potato industry, researchers from across the country came together to offer their expertise.
That team, named the Zebra Chip Leadership Team, includes NDSU University Distinguished Professor of plant pathology, Neil Gudmestad. He and four other members were recently presented the Partnership Award by Texas A&M AgriLife for their outstanding collaboration. The honor recognizes individuals or teams that develop and participate in partnership efforts with communities, industry, agency, university and/or associations that advance the mission of Texas A&M AgriLife to serve Texans and the world.
"I am just one member of this research team, but I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish in such a short period of time," Gudmestad said, noting they have published more than 100 peer-reviewed manuscripts since they formed in 2009 after receiving a five-year $10.2 million grant from the United States Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture-Specialty Crop Research Initiative.
Gudmestad serves as a co-director along with John Trumble from University of California-Riverside and Charlie Rush from Texas A&M. Each leads a different aspect of the research.
Gudmestad oversees a team of pathologists studying the bacterium's variability, detection and biology. Specifically, his group is working to sequence a new biotype dominant in the United States. Through working with another research group in New Zealand, where the disease also is economically damaging, they hope to learn what competitive advantages the new strain has gained and how it differs from the strain it replaced. The subgroup also is working to develop molecular technology for pathogen detection to improve disease control and provide more powerful tools to study pathogen epidemiology.
Rush is responsible for the epidemiology and risk assessment team, while Trumble, an entomologist, leads a team working with the insect vector that transmits the zebra chip bacterium.
Other team leaders include James Supak and J. Creighton Miller. Supak, a retired Texas A&M administrator, serves as a liaison between the research team and the "Texas Initiative," a consortium of the Texas Department of Agriculture, potato processors and potato growers who contribute approximately $1 million annually to zebra chip research. Miller, a potato breeder in the horticultural sciences department at Texas A&M, leads research searching for genetic resistance to zebra chip.
Gudmestad said zebra chip is a primitive unculturable bacterium with four biotypes, two of which affect potato production in the United States. Zebra chip doesn't harm the consumer. It is aesthetically unpleasing and when cooked it creates an unpleasant bitter taste due to over-caramelized sugars in the affected areas.
His experience with the disease started almost 20 years ago, when Gudmestad and Gary Secor, NDSU plant pathology professor, first observed the pathogen in 1994 in the León region of Mexico. Later reported in Texas, it has since spread to New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
"It went from a minor disease to a major disease of potato in the United States and New Zealand within a decade. It's what invasive pathogens do when they get into a country and there is no natural resistance in a plant species such as a potato," Gudmestad said, noting the economic losses due to zebra chip in New Zealand are calculated to be more than $100 million annually. He said the most recent agriculture economist figures indicate the cost of controlling zebra chip in the Unites State exceeded $15 million in 2012.
He and Secor first began studying zebra chip at NDSU in 2005. Although the disease isn't in North Dakota, it's of interest because several growers affected by the disease are headquartered in the state.
"It is difficult to work on a disease that is 1,500 to 2,000 miles away," Gudmestad said. "I immediately started collaborations with a Texas A&M colleague I knew, Dr. Charlie Rush, a very experienced epidemiologist."
The collaboration evolved over time. Today, more than 30 scientists representing seven universities and U.S. Department of Agriculture researchers from seven states contribute to zebra chip research to improve growers' outcomes.
The Zebra Chip Leadership Team has received two major accolades for their work.
The Partnership Award is a Vice Chancellor's Award in Excellence, the highest employee award given by Texas A&M AgriLife, which has teaching, research, extension education, laboratory and forestry facilities throughout Texas. It was presented Jan. 8 at Texas A&M University, College Station.
They also received the second highest honor from the Entomological Society of America – the Team IPM Award.
Gudmestad said the Texas A&M recognition is especially rewarding. "It is a great honor for the entire team," he said. "But it is particularly rewarding to be honored by another university."
NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private research universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.

The company, Helips, is seeking investors for a new, multi-purpose, light helicopter that does not have a tail rotor. The Gulf Times reported that two representatives from Helips gave a presentation at the Qatar Scientific Club earlier this week, to explain their "innovative helicopter technology." During the presentation, the company stated that the helicopter would be aimed at both the civil and military markets and that the rotorcraft without tail blades would reduce noise without impacting maneuverability. Company executives reported that Helips has already produced two prototypes (a drone tested by Iran, and a heliplane), which have passed all the required tests. The company will use these prototypes to gain the required certifications before it begins production in 2011. For related news
