Prostate Cancer Screening – A Decision Guide

What is the prostate?

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that only men have. It is part of the reproductive system that makes the fluid that carries sperm. As you can see in the picture below, the prostate is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder. The urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside the body) runs through the center of the prostate. As men age, the prostate tends to increase in size. This can cause the urethra to narrow and decrease urine flow.

What is prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is made up of cells that do not grow normally. The cells divide and create new cells that the body does not need, forming a mass of tissue called a tumor. These abnormal cells sometimes spread to other parts of the body, multiply, and cause death.

Benefits of VermiGrow Castings Tea

Methods of Use:
Foliar Spray
VermiGrow Castings Tea foliar spray can be used to supply supplemental doses of minor and major nutrients, plant hormones, stimulants, and other beneficial substances. Benefits of this foliar spray include yield increases, resistance to diseases and insect pests, improved drought tolerance, and enhanced crop quality.

Foliar applications are timed to coincide with specific vegetative or fruiting stages of growth. Applications are used to aid plants in recovery from transplant shock, hail damage, or the results of other weather extremes.

Soil Drench
When applied as a drench, VermiGrow Castings Tea promotes good soil structure. The microorganisms found in organic teas excrete organic gums and resins that, together with fungal hyphae, bind soil particles into structural aggregates, improving both soil structure and water-holding capacity.

How to Apply It?
Plan ahead – it is important that you apply the tea the SAME DAY that you purchase it because the tea will become less oxygenated over time. Remember, the tea is alive!

Understanding Java Exceptions – Fundamental Programming Practices

Outline

  • What exceptions are for
  • Catching & Throwing exceptions
  • Examples
  • Standard Java Exceptions
  • The finally clause
  • Resource Management

What Exceptions are For

  • To handle Bad Things
    • I/O errors, other runtime errors
    • when a function fails to fulfill its specification
    • so you can restore program stability (or exit gracefully)
  • To force you to handle Bad Things
    • because return codes can be tedious
    • and sometimes you’re lazy
  • To signal errors from constructors
    • because constructors have no return value

Catching Exceptions

  • Wrap code to be checked in a try-block
    • checking occurs all the way down the execution stack
  • try-blocks can be nested
    • control resumes at most enclosed matching handler
  • Place one or more catch-clauses after try-block
    • runtime system looks back up the call stack for a matching handler
    • subclass types match superclass types

A Christmas Tree Grower’s Guide

A number of conifers that are commonly grown as Christmas trees have recently been shown to be hosts of Phytophthora ramorum. This exotic, federally-quarantined plant pathogen causes Sudden Oak Death and ramorum shoot or leaf blight. Besides the direct damage this pathogen may cause on Christmas trees, federal and state restrictions on the movement of host plant material out of infested areas have the potential to significantly impact Christmas tree growers.

This guide provides practical information and advice on:

  • The history of sudden oak death
  • The susceptibility of conifers to P. ramorum
  • The spread and development of P. ramorum in Christmas tree plantations
  • Recognizing P. ramorum-like symptoms on conifers and other hosts
  • Management considerations for protecting your plantation against P. ramorum
  • Current quarantine regulations and staying informed
  • Considerations when working in infested counties
