<DIV>Hi!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have posted a new blog at <A href="http://www.cisp.us">www.cisp.us</A> or
<A href="http://www.nivemnic.us">www.nivemnic.us</A> ; this blog focuses on the
risk to Pacific Coast states from introduced insects and pathogens that attack
trees. While the blog relies on extrapolations and estimates by
scientists, I do note the recent detection of a new wood-borer in
California.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I suggest actions people can take to counter this risk.</DIV>
