"Sande McNabb Student Travel Award" - APS Foundation
by Mee-Sook Kim
Dear Forest Pathologists,
I am so saddened by Sande?s passing. He will be missed greatly because of
his great influence on so many people including myself.
As many of you suggested, I am setting up the "Sande McNabb Student Travel
Award" with the American Phytopathological Society (APS) Foundation. This
award helps underwrite the cost of APS Annual Meeting attendance for
students. This seems like a very fitting tribute for Sande, who was long
known as an unwavering advocate of students from diverse backgrounds.
To establish the ?Sande McNabb Student Travel Award?, we need to first
collect $2,500 before the APS Foundation can create the ?Sande McNabb
Award?. Please visit the following website for more details.
http://www.apsnet.org/members/foundation/giving/Pages/starttravelfund.aspx
Ned Klopfenstein will help to collect the initial $2,500 from potential
contributors.
After the award is established, the future donors can directly contribute
to the APS Foundation. The receipt of $2,500 creates a fund account with
the APS Foundation; however, we need to collect a total of $10,000 in the
account to fully establish the travel award that will help fund student
travel each year (currently $500 award). Thus, it may take some time to
fully establish the ?Sande McNabb Student Travel Award?, which will help
students who want to attend the APS meeting and present their research. We
know that Sande was a strong supporter of the APS Student Travel Awards
because he previously provided several very generous donations to this
cause; these donations were supposed to remain anonymous (oops).
So, here is what I suggest we do.
1. Please fill in the attached form. And, make checks payable to the APS
Foundation.
2. Send check with form to Ned Klopfenstein.
Ned B. Klopfenstein
1045 Tolo Trail
Moscow, ID 83843
USA
3. Ned will keep the checks until we reach a total of $2,500, then he
will send all the checks to the APS Foundation. We hope that we can
collect $2,500 for the fund within a short amount of time. After that, the
"Sande McNabb Student Travel Award" fund will be established, and future
donors can contribute directly to the award fund at the APS foundation.
(*An acknowledgement of the receipt of these funds will be made to the
donor by the APS Foundation. All such donations are tax deductible since
the APS Foundation is a 501c3 organization.)
Please let me or Ned (nklopfenstein(a)fs.fed.us, 1-208-883-2310) know if you
have any questions or concerns regarding the establishment of this fund.
Thanks for your time and consideration. Please help circulate this
information to anyone who may be interesting in this cause.

Research proposal with Acacia mangium
by John Alexander Pulgarin Diaz
Dear ALL*,*
The present message is to propose to your institution a research project
that will boost the forest development in Colombia, our country. Now days,
Colombia has 20.000 ha of *Acacia mangium* plantation whit very good
performance, to recover degraded lands, produce pulp for paper production
and solid wood production. The government is planning to increase the area
to 1´000.000 ha because all the benefits a forest plantation has to the
society.
At the moment the unique problem *A. mangium* has is the attack of some
disease that cause a sudden death. This has decreased the interest in this
specie in the public. In our previous research we have found that there are
some fungus in attacked specimens: *Fusarium*sp., *Myrothecium *sp. y *
Phomopsis* sp., that could be causing the seen problems .
We would like to hear of possibilities for financial support, and an
institution that will join us (we are working with an University in our
area). We would provide resources and also we will cover some of the
expenses, and the University will provide scientific advices, laboratories
and equipment. We will really appreciate your help contacting the right
institution and personnel if your institution is not interested.
Regards, John Pulgarin

Passing of Dr. Sande McNabb
by Linda Haugen
I am sad to share that Dr. Sande McNabb died this week in Ames, Iowa.
------------------------------------------------
The following information is from the Ames Tribune:
Harold Sanderson ?Sande? McNabb, 83, died Thursday, May 12, 2011, at
Israel Family Hospice House in Ames. Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m.
Monday, May 16, with services at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 17, at Collegiate
Presbyterian Church in Ames. Burial will follow at Iowa State University
Cemetery.
Sande taught and did research at Iowa State University for 47 years (1953
to 2000). He was a devoted husband, father and mentor to many. McNabb was
active in scientific circles, Democratic politics and Boy Scouts of
America.
He is survived by wife, Marguerite ?Margo? McNabb; sister, Margery McNabb,
of Lincoln, Neb.; son, Peter J. (Jeanette Slaybaugh) McNabb, of Des
Moines; and daughter, Genene (Reid Gagle) McNabb, of St. Paul, Minn.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Iowa State University Foundation
in memory of Sande McNabb.
-------------------------------------------------
A more complete biography of Sande's life is available on the website of
Adams and Soderstrum Funeral Home:
http://www.adamssoderstrum.com/
or at http://www.tributes.com/show/Harold--McNabb-91466619
--------------------------------------------------
If you would like to send cards or condolences to Margo, her address
follows:
Margo McNabb
1232 Wisconsin
Ames, IA 50014
--------------------------------------------------
Sande had friends throughout the world. In addition to being a classic
forest pathologist, he personally touched the lives of many students. One
of his passions in life was promoting the legacy of Dr. George Washington
Carver, including encouraging opportunities for minorities to realize the
full potential of their contributions to science and humanity. To this
end, Margo and their children intend to establish a specially named
memorial fund at ISU to assist with continuation of this legacy.
Contributions to the Iowa State University Foundation in Memory of Sande
McNabb will go toward this purpose. [the website for ISU Foundation
donations is

XIII IUFRO Conference on
"Root and Bu tt Rot of Forest Trees"
September 4th - 10th 2011
Firenze - S. Martino di Castrozza, Trento - Italy
Scientific program - Information for Authors
Attendees will have 15-20 minutes for their oral
presentations including a couple of minutes for
questions. Following the tradition of last
conference in California, Poster presentations are
substituted by short oral presentations. Short
oral presentations will be 5 minutes long and will
include a maximum of 5 slides. Questions will be
asked at the end of a session rather than at the
end
of each presentation.
Priority for short talks will be given to
students who are not giving a full presentation,
followed by
attendees who are not given a long talk, and
finally short talks may be used as a second
presentation
by attendees who already give a full talk. When
submitting abstracts for both long and short
talks,
attendees need to select the focus area of their
presentation. Please include first and second best
selections among the following focus areas:
1 - Genomics and plant-pathogen interactions;
2 - Ecology;
3 - Aetiology and epidemiology;
4 - Systematic, taxonomy, and phylogeography;
5 - Population genetics;
6- New reports, diagnostics, and research applications of diagnostic methods:
7- Disease management and control
