Conference on Mango in Hawaii Proceedings: Conference on Mango in Hawaii March 9-11, 1993 Campus Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa PREFACE The Conference on Mango in Hawaii was sponsored by the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR), University of Hawaii at Manoa, with partial support from the Cooperative State Research Service. Although the 1991 farm value for mango sales reported by the Hawaii Agricultural Statistics Service was only $46,000, mango is one of the most widely grown fruit trees in home gardens. Quarantine regulations prevent the export of mango fruit to the U.S. mainland. However, the fact is little known that mangos are being exported from Hawaii to Canada and Europe, and that Mexican mangos are imported to the Honolulu market via California. Because of the mango's popularity and potential, it is regarded as an important component of Hawaii's specialty fruits industry and merits attention for further development. This conference was organized to discuss a wide and comprehensive range of subjects related to mango. The only other meeting of this nature in Hawaii, the First Territorial Mango Forum, was held on Maui on July 1-2, 1955. The speakers were chosen from CTAHR, state and federal agencies, and the industry itself for their specialized knowledge in the various areas revelant to mangos in Hawaii. We were fortunate to have the resources to invite Dr. Tom Davenport from the University of Florida's Tropical Research and Education Center at Homestead. His willingness to share his expertise, especially in the area of mango flowering manipulation, was very helpful. We were also fortunate to have several CTAHR retirees, Dr. Richard A. Hamilton, Dr. Wallace C. Mitchell, and Mr. Warren Yee, who agreed to share their knowledge. Editors: C. L. Chia Extension Specialist in Horticulture D. O.

  • Leadership and Ethical Development: Balancing Light and Shadow
    LEADERSHIP AND ETHICAL DEVELOPMENT: BALANCING LIGHT AND SHADOW Benyamin M. Lichtenstein, Beverly A. Smith, and William R. Torbert A&stract: What makes a leader ethical? This paper critically examines the answer given by developmental theory, which argues that individuals can develop throu^ cumulative stages of ethical orientation and behavior (e.g. Hobbesian, Kantian, Rawlsian), such that leaders at later develop- mental stages (of whom there are empirically very few today) are more ethical. By contrast to a simple progressive model of ethical develop- ment, this paper shows that each developmental stage has both positive (light) and negative (shadow) aspects, which affect the ethical behaviors of leaders at that stage It also explores an unexpected result: later stage leaders can have more significantly negative effects than earlier stage leadership. Introduction hat makes a leader ethical? One answer to this question can be found in Wconstructive-developmental theory, which argues that individuals de- velop through cumulative stages that can be distinguished in terms of their epistemological assumptions, in terms of the behavior associated with each "worldview," and in terms of the ethical orientation of a person at that stage (Alexander et.al., 1990; Kegan, 1982; Kohlberg, 1981; Souvaine, Lahey & Kegan, 1990). Developmental theory has been successfully applied to organiza- tional settings and has illuminated the evolution of managers (Fisher, Merron & Torbert, 1987), leaders (Torbert 1989, 1994b; Fisher & Torbert, 1992), and or- ganizations (Greiner, 1972; Quinn & Cameron, 1983; Torbert, 1987a). Further, Torbert (1991) has shown that successive stages of personal development have an ethical logic that closely parallels the socio-historical development of ethical philosophies during the modern era; that is, each sequential ethical theory from Hobbes to Rousseau to Kant to Rawls explicitly outlines a coherent worldview held implicitly by persons at successively later developmental stages.

    GITM01S_ 196 3 IMMUNITY _FUND CAMP1ICN UNDERWAY HE~d -& v A WEEKLY PUBLICATION July 21, 1963 . AND YOU MAY WIN A RED RAMBLER Americans, as a rule, love a chance to buy a chance on something as they do few other things. We've known people who'd take a chance on the sun not coming up in the morning just for the sake of playing. Gitmoites are currently enjoying their lat- eat chance at taking a chance through the med - ium of the 1963 Community Fund Drive, now being conducted here on the Naval Base. For each $1.00 contribution to the Community Fund, you'll receive a ticket. The stub goes into a big hopper--and come Sept. 2nd, there'll be a drawing. The lucky holder of the winning ticket number will be presented with the keys to a red 1963 Rambler convertible. In addition, the individual selling the highest number of tickets during the campaign and the person who sells the winning ticketwill each receives $50 cash prize. What is the Community Fund? It's a many-faceted fund administered and disbursed through Commander Naval Base which helps our community to be self-supporting. Your contribution to this fund for example, supports the Summer Recreation Program; the Teen Club; Retirement Parades; Junior League Base- ball, the Ladies Softball League and the Spring Clean-up Campaign. It helps maintain the Base School Nursery and Kindergarten, and any other worthy community affairs which may need community support.

  • To Clarify These Terms, Our Discussion Begins with Hydraulic Conductivity Of
    Caribbean Area PO BOX 364868 San Juan, PR 00936-4868 787-766-5206 Technology Transfer Technical Note No. 2 Tropical Crops & Forages Nutrient Uptake Purpose The purpose of this technical note is to provide guidance in nutrient uptake values by tropical crops in order to make fertilization recommendations and nutrient management. Discussion Most growing plants absorb nutrients from the soil. Nutrients are eventually distributed through the plant tissues. Nutrients extracted by plants refer to the total amount of a specific nutrient uptake and is the total amount of a particular nutrient needed by a crop to complete its life cycle. It is important to clarify that the nutrient extraction value may include the amount exported out of the field in commercial products such as; fruits, leaves or tubers or any other part of the plant. Nutrient extraction varies with the growth stage, and nutrient concentration potential may vary within the plant parts at different stages. It has been shown that the chemical composition of crops, and within individual components, changes with the nutrient supplies, thus, in a nutrient deficient soil, nutrient concentration in the plant can vary, creating a deficiency or luxury consumption as is the case of Potassium. The nutrient uptake data gathered in this note is a result of an exhaustive literature review, and is intended to inform the user as to what has been documented. It describes nutrient uptake from major crops grown in the Caribbean Area, Hawaii and the Pacific Basin. Because nutrient uptake is crop, cultivar, site and nutrient content specific, unique values cannot be arbitrarily selected for specific crops.

It was prepared as part of the Bureau of Land Management's Cultural Resource Manage- ment Program and is the second complete history of a BLM district in Colorado. A major objective of the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, is the identification, evaluation and protection of the nation's historic heritage and values, particularly those under the management of the Bureau. The history of Southwestern Colorado is designed to provide a baseline narrative for Cultural Resource Management. Paul M. O'Rourke has written a new history of the southwest corner of Colorado and in doing so, has provided a timely and original view of Colorado's heritage and history. This study will become part of the over-all history of Colorado as prepared by the Bureau and as other volumes dealing with Colorado history are written, they too will be made available to the general public.
