<DIV>Dear forest pest mavens and others,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have posted 2 new blogs - </DIV>
<DIV>* one discusses the gaps in research & management arising from failure
of CDFA & APHIS to designate polyphagous and Kuroshio shot hole borers
as quarantine/regulated pests</DIV>
<DIV>* the other reports on spread of sudden oak death in California and Oregon
in 2016</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can see the blogs by going to our website - <A
href="http://www.cisp.us">www.cisp.us</A> - and clicking on the button. I
apologize for the clumsiness - I was told that a company stopped supporting
blog-website links and the company that owns our website is working on a
fix.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A more direct way is to go to <A
href="http://www.nivemnic.us">www.nivemnic.us</A> - all the blogs are posted
there. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for putting up with the vagaries of the web.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Faith</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
