Cold-hardy candidates from the Univ. of Minnesota Vitis collection were evaluated for potential use as commercial rootstocks for the production of cold-tender grapes in conditions typical of the eastern and midwestern United States. The 53 genotypes studied were selected from the collection based on past field performance and cold-hardy parentage. These were compared with standard commercial rootstocks for these regions—C3309 and SO4—for characteristics typically evaluated in rootstock production: rooting ability, vigor, phylloxera resistance, disease resistance, first season root development, suitability of rootstock wood, ease of grafting and callusing, and growth of scion bud. In addition, indications of onset of dormancy were monitored to identify those genotypes with potential to influence scion dormancy regime for the purpose of increasing scion cold-hardiness.

The versatility of Low Temperature Field Emission SEM (LTFESEM) for viewing frozen-hydrated biological specimens, and the high resolutions that can be obtained with such instruments have been well documented. Studies done with LTFESEM have been usually limited to the viewing of small organisms, organs, cells, and organelles, or viewing such specimens after fracturing them.We use a Hitachi 4500 FESEM equipped with a recently developed BAL-TEC SCE 020 cryopreparation/transfer device for our LTFESEM studies. The SCE 020 is similar in design to the older SCU 020 except that instead of having a dedicated stage, the SCE 020 has a detachable cold stage that mounts on to the FESEM stage when needed. Since the SCE 020 has a precisely controlled lock manipulator for transferring the specimen table from the cryopreparation chamber to the cold stage in the FESEM, and also has a motor driven microtome for precise control of specimen fracture, we have explored the feasibility of using the LTFESEM for multiple-fracture studies of the same sample.

Inequality in the promised land: Race, resources, and suburban schooling is a well-written book by L’ Heureux Lewis-McCoy. The book is based on Lewis-McCoy’s doctoral dissertation, that included an ethnographic study in a suburban area named Rolling Acres in the Midwestern United States. Lewis-McCoy studied the relationship between families and those families’ relationships with schools. Through this study, the author explored how invisible inequality and racism in an affluent suburban area became the barrier for racial and economically minority students to grow up academically. Lewis-McCoy also discovered the hope of the minority community for raising their children for a better future.
