Sierra Madre Scarecrow Contest Winners BAILEY CANYON WILDERNESS PARK FALL CLEAN-UP SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19 8:00 A.M. TO NOON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2013 VOLUME 7 NO. 41 BEETLE ENDANGERS LOCAL TREES Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB) Detected in Sierra Madre Sierra Madre, CA. – City staff has been alerted to a number of new tree wounds in public trees in the downtown and Canyon areas. Investigations and consultations with local arborists have concluded that the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB) has very likely found a host in the trees on the eastern side of Mary’s Market Parking Lot, and could very possibly be existing in a number of private trees in the area. The downtown trees, however, do not appear to have been infected by the pest at this time, and will continue to be closely monitored. Staff is arranging to conduct laboratory testing on various samples to further confirm the borer and test for its associated and destructive fungus. The PSHB beetle and its associ- ated fungus is a very destructive pest that has recently been found in parts of Los Angeles and Or- ange Counties. It is also a very unique pest in the variety of tree species that have been shown to be hosts. At this time, known hosts include Sycamore (detected in Sierra Madre), Box Elder, Cas- tor Bean, Avocado, Black Locust, English Oak, Liquidamber, Coast Live Oak, Persimmon, California Bay Laurel, Mimosa, Goldenrain, White Alder, Big Leaf Maple, Ol- ive, and Wistaria Vine. There are no known treatments for infected trees at this time. Staff is in contact with a number of agencies that are conducting experimental treatments. Con- tainment of the infestation is the priority right now. Species show various signs of the PSHB; in general look for a newer wound and look for a very small hole that would indicate boring activity. In most cases loose bark can be removed to locate the small SIERRA MADRE hole. ANNUAL Avoid movement of any infested wood out of the area.

  • To Code at Home? Orget the Year
    TO CODE AT HOME? orget the year. Voltair processor-induced questions about PPM encod- ing may be the biggest radio story of the last decade. Moving from di- Fary ratings to meter technology in 2007 was intended to remove much of the ambiguity from radio’s audience report card – at least in the top 50 markets. Programmers were confident in the technology and quickly adopted its les- sons, one of the most dramatic being listen- THE YEar’s ers’ aversion to talk. Spoken word formats saw declines and music format morning shows began upping their song count. And then Voltair came along. Introduced in mid-2014 by Telos, the TOP $15,000 processor was aimed at a previously unknown gap in PPM’s audio watermark- StORIES ing encoding. In short, its developers claimed that programming that was quiet, marked by silence or weak in a certain frequency range did a poor job of carrying PPM code – and that their box “enhanced the detectability.” Better encod- ing, the thinking went, meant better ratings. Radio’s response was swift. By summer 2015, hundreds of the units were in use. Even PDs who didn’t have Voltair were taking notice. “You see meter counts jump and think it’s a fluky week, but the next week it goes even higher,” one programmer told Country Aircheck. “When 6+ numbers jump two shares, that’s your first clue.” With many convinced Voltair was doing exactly what it proposed, questions turned to years of decision making based not on programming content, but its audio characteristics. “Where it gets [hairy] is when we decide not to do artist interviews and stay away from any longer talk seg- ment regardless of how compelling,” consultant Becky Brenner said in July.

  • AMELIA FLETCHER: Hi
    ICN Training on Demand Module I-3: Competitive Effects 1 [Slide 1] AMELIA FLETCHER: Hi. I am Amelia Fletcher, Chief Economist at the UK Office of Fair Trading. In this ICN Curriculum module we are going to be learning about “Competitive Effects”. [Slide 2] AMELIA FLETCHER: You’ll hear from me, and my colleague Andy Gavil, Professor of Law at Howard University on the law and economics of competitive effects, as well as the elements of an effects-based approach to competition policy and enforcement. To keep things interesting, but also practical, we’ll be making use of a hypothetical case study to illustrate some of the principles that we will be covering. You’ll also hear from several competition agencies from around the world on how they applied an effects-based approach to actual cases. [Slide 3] AMELIA FLETCHER: After this module we hope that you will have a better understanding of: 1. What is an effects-based approach to competition policy and enforcement? 2. What are “competitive effects” (both pro and anti-competitive), and how might they arise? 3. What are the important economic questions that a competition agency should be looking to answer in applying an effects-based approach? This module is not meant to cover the different tools for evaluating competitive effects in particular cases, which are as numerous and varied as the cases themselves. Nor is it specifically targeted at specific types of conduct. In particular, we wont be providing a detailed guide to the ICN Training on Demand Module I-3: Competitive Effects 2 economic assessment of predation, let’s say.
