<DIV>Forest pest mavens,</DIV>
<DIV>I have posted a blog at <A href="http://www.cisp.us">www.cisp.us</A> and <A
href="http://www.nivemnic.us">www.nivemnic.us</A> - this blog discusses collapse
of APHIS & USFS funding for managing emerald ash borer and researching such
issues as resistance breeding ... and asks whether a decision to eliminate the
APHIS regulatory program would undercut programs aimed at reducing firewood
movement.</DIV>
