Alumna brings abstinence message to high schools
Huntington, Ind.—Janelle Taylor, a 1997 Huntington University graduate, provides encouragement to students who want to save themselves sexually for marriage.
She has worked as the executive director of True Life Choices, an organization that promotes abstinence, since December of 2004. As part of her responsibilities, Taylor travels to schools in Indiana, giving students vital skills so they can make wise decisions.
"This is an area that most people struggle with, even Christians," Taylor says. "God made us with hormones and natural desires, but deviating from His plan only causes heartache and regret."
Taylor graduated from Huntington with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. She was a high school English teacher when she felt a calling to join TLC.
"I helped out with TLC hosting a table at one of their fundraisers. I knew I wanted to get more out of teaching, and I felt like I wanted to work with students more directly," she said.
As a public school teacher, Taylor felt limited in talking with students about the problems they were having. She said most were dealing with dysfunctional relationships and promiscuous lifestyles.
"I saw high-schoolers having to deal with adult responsibilities without the proper skills necessary to navigate through peer pressure," Taylor said.
She resigned from teaching, learned about an opening in TLC and pursued it because she believed the position would give her opportunities to share her beliefs with young people.
Taylor says that Huntington University helped prepare her in her job because of the integration of faith. She said it was a key lesson in her college experience.
Since 1995, 42 schools in seven Northeast Indiana counties have been contracted with TLC. The number of teens that have participated exceeds 66,000.
Taylor says that if she had the right funding, she would like to see TLC expand their services for after-school centers and youth groups.
"I would also like to see us take programs to college campuses, where STDs are at an all-time high."
TLC is helping to equip youth with the skills that help them develop positive character traits and build self-esteem.
"Know that you are not alone in your walk of purity and it is not just something you strive for until you get married," Taylor says. "It is actually a life-long calling for Christ's disciples whether married or not. Purity is not just physical; it is also mental, spiritual and emotional."

Adding a New In-line Master Suite to Ranch
This approximately 492 square foot remodel adds a new master suite to a common 3 bedroom ranch; it does so in a 13'-4"x 37'-8" addition, that places the new master bedroom in a rear-facing reverse gable wing. The plan locates the new master bath and a brand new hall bath in the space formerly occupied by the small rear bedroom. The new addition replaces this bedroom - in a larger form - in the front of the new wing.

That is a lot of money a month
Well, then this makes no sense because there are MANY things apps do that aren't detailed out.
This fails.
Yeah, it will make like... $100.00 a month!! Get real.
I support Cydia devs but there's no way in he'll any cydia all is making HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN 2 MONTHS.
cydia isnt for cracked apps....
back to the story:
thats sad, i really liked the camera+ app. its better than any others ive tried.
Get SnapTap from Cydia. It makes it so that you can use the volume buttons to activate camera.
No need for a cracked app.
OR you could look at my join date and find out for yourself instead of making smartass remarks...
Bummer, I was like an hour to late to get it. Hope Cydia puts it up for sale.
I'm still trying to decide between snaptap and snappy. I just don't want it to mess with my SBsettings which already disables the ability to press the top screen to scroll back up. Unless I'm missing something.
Doesn't a Cydia app do that?
there are a few, but camera+ has a lot of other nice features like lighting adjustments and cropping ability.
I almost bought that app beforei got my i4. Unknowing about the Easter egg. Oh well
I think what he means is Cydia is not about cracked apps....
And he's right the great majority of cydia and it's intent is to give you control over every aspect of your iPhone. Not cracking apps. Though they are there if you know how to find them....
No it doesn't. Tap the top of your screen to scroll but before you do make it so sbsettings only activates when you swipe your status bar....that's how I have mine. Plus I can shake my device for sbsettings to activate. Use activator in settings to set different gestures for different programs/apps- including sbsettings.
Yes, you are missing something. To open SBSettings you swipe across the top by default (using activator you can assign any number of actions to activate it). To do the auto-scroll to the top all you need to do is tap the top bar. Both actions can co-exist just fine.

George Noory 12a - 5a |
Brought to you by The Party Center
Monday, October 1, 2012
Governor Robert Bentley has chosen not to confine Alabama to an "essential health benefits" plan under the Affordable Care Act due to a lack of proper options and very little guidance from the federal government. Governor Bentley explained his decision in a letter to Secretary Kathleen Sebelius of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. "As you are aware, I am a staunch opponent of the Affordable Care Act," Governor Bentley wrote. "As both a physician and a governor, I have determined that it is irresponsible and short-sighted to make a decision on essential health benefits by confining the decision to a select few plans and without having been offered clear guidance from the federal government." "Essential health benefits" were to be established by states under the Affordable Care Act as a foundation for medical coverage in the years 2014 and 2015. However, Governor Bentley said the Affordable Care Act does not present options that consumers need in order to control costs and actually receive higher-quality care. "I truly believe that in order to control costs, consumers themselves must be a part of any equation. As such, I am a strong supporter of health savings accounts," Governor Bentley said. "Health savings accounts empower the consumer in all aspects of health care decision making. The Affordable Care Act includes many provisions, all supposedly geared toward making health insurance affordable, yet it does not include any significant mention of health savings accounts. I contend that the law does not make health insurance affordable and negatively affects consumer choice." "Health savings accounts provide what the ACA does not: a consumer-oriented, marketplace-driven option for health coverage," Governor Bentley added. Without such an option, and without further information from the federal government, Governor Bentley said it would be irresponsible for him to commit Alabama to a specific benefits plan. "The parameters placed on the selection of the essential health benefits benchmark plan do not allow states to select innovative mechanisms, such as health savings accounts, or a variation thereof," Governor Bentley said. "As such, I decline to make a decision on the essential health benefits benchmark plan. There is simply not enough valid information available now to make an informed choice for such an important decision."

Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III "Eclipse" – Sneak Peek
October 3rd, 2012 by Brendan Dunne | 2 comments

Shown above is the Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III 'Eclipse', a sneaker which flips the construction found on last year's Leatherback release, sending the leather to the front end this time around.

Bizarre, honest and spectacularly rendered. Great stuff.
Man all your subs are great. I love your textures.
I know this type of illustration isn't as popular here, but let's hope this changes that. The tentacled triangle is rad, I'd buy a tee of just that.
I think this piece leans far too much on Picasso's original. It doesn't have enough of a concept or execution of its own to distinguish itself.
Sublime man. Really nice and definitely a nice break from everything else in the contest so far. I really dug the flat color version of Wilde Pointe too.
Evidently age does not equal wisdom. It may alarm you all to know that vote count is not as relevant to success as you all seem to believe.
Exceptional detail, this is one of the early show-stoppers of the contest. The subtle gold foil highlights are a nice touch.
Works great as a print, I think it could be placed on the tee better. I could see this on a fashion label or in a boutique.
That's a print, great composition and color.
Does it say anything?

Asus 10.1" Eee Pad 32GB Tablet - NVIDIA Tegra 3 T33 (1.6GHz) Refurbished TF700 $329 + Free Shipping (Ebay Daily Deal)
the used ones on amazon are going to range from "good" to "like new" condition... i've been buying refurbished laptops and other items for years and not one of them has disappointed...all of the stuff i have still works and they all looked brand new except for the sticker they place on the back or inside the battery area that says "refurbished" |
ok so after some quick reads on reviews, i jumped on this tablet...this thing is blazing fast and has a great 1080p screen, along with a super bright mode to let you read outdoor in sunny weather...perfect for my upcoming trip to mexico!
for this price you can't beat the performance you get...if something better comes out at the same price point, at least i can unload this one for about what i paid since it was refurbished. thumbs up! |
P.S.- I had in mind getting this tablet. I just sold all my tablets. The only one left is the Nexus 7, and, to my surprise, a newcomer that we found at BestBuy a couple weeks back: The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
I don't think I've ever been happier about a tablet. I'd love to have an FHD screen, I'll say that, but this is just amazing. It cost me $250 (refurbished open box) which is why we even thought about getting it in the first place, and never been happier. With that being said, I just sold my TF101 + dock for $265 on Craigslist, and I had been thinking about replacing it with the TF700. Can anybody here give me pros/cons TF700 vs Note 10.1? the Note 10.1 came with USB port, and I already know "dock has battery, usb, sd card, keyboard, mouse", which is the only thing I'm missing. I have the ATIV 500T and I've never been more unhappy about a tablet, in the other hand. Something eats up the battery, so I can't even let it sleep because, well, it'll die in a few short hours. I find it too big. I'm guessing 10~" might be the sweet point for touch, though I love the keyboard. It came with a bright pixel, as well. It is being returned. The replacement will arrive tomorrow. All in all, no issues with the dock (oddly enough, since everyone seemed to complain about that). I was just surprised how much I liked the Note 10.1 vs how much I disliked the ATIV 500T (and they look almost identical) oh, pro on Note 10.1, out the bat, Peel app... |
It was a 3.2mpx nikon coolpix rotating camera, probably like $400-$600 back then. So embarrassing...spoiled my trip. ~also don't drink water/ice lol Last edited by jromankvcc; 04-17-2013 at 12:52 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
I'm surprised by this Tegra 3. I just bought the Acer A210 and it's clocked at 1.2 but runs quicker than my Note 2. Installing apps are faster, opening them is quicker, etc. The screen resolution is not up to my taste so I may be returning it. Otherwise, I think this would also be a good tablet...at 1.6 to boot!

Heidelberg Castle , which dominates the old quarter, is one of the most widely recognised landmarks in Germany. During the castle theatre festival, its historical walls create an impressive backdrop for concerts, plays and operas. All the productions are put together specially for these surroundings. In recent years, the biggest successes have been plays such as The Name of the Rose, Carmina Burana and Ronja, the Robber's Daughter, with the castle playing a part of its own.
Here the spotlight is on the next generation. Radikal jung – the festival of young directors, held in Munich every April, offers young, still-to-be-established directors a platform on which to demonstrate their talent. Usually the rising young stars invited each direct a stage play at Munich Volkstheater. Their interaction with theatre professionals and the public is a focal point of the festival in parallel with the plays themselves.
Sun, sea and sensational theatre: when the theatres are on their summer break, the Baltic resorts of Greifswald and Stralsund in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania take the opportunity to stage the Baltic Festival. In addition to the theatres, festival venues include the idyllic ruins of Eldena abbey near Greifswald and other unusual locations around this popular holiday region. Running from June to August, this festival has been an attraction for holidaymakers and locals since 2003.
Potsdam International Theatre Festival – Unidram – is one of Europe's most important festivals for independent theatre. Every year around 15 hand-picked theatre ensembles from European countries gather in Potsdam for nine days. Through their performances, night cafés, concerts and parties, they are immersed in an intense artistic dialogue between themselves and the mostly young audiences. This interaction gives the festival a phenomenal buzz.
In late summer, artists from all over the world gather at the Kulturwald Festival in the Bavarian Forest , a range of wooded mountains on the border between Bavaria and the Czech Republic and a popular holiday region. During the festival, abbeys, churches and the glassblowing works for which the area is known all serve as venues for classical and modern music. This festival is attractive for young families too, with children's programmes and childcare facilities offered during certain concerts.
A reboot of the Verzaubert Queer Film Weekend, the new Love Films Festival shows new and old films on the themes of love, longing and relationships – from gay to hetero and bi. It is held twice a year in four cities, kicking off on the Saturday in Munich , Frankfurt , Cologne and Berlin with Gay Propaganda Night and a selection of the year's best gay short films. The festival's feature films are shown all day Sunday.

UCONN Huskies Basketball 2013-2014 News and Updates
2/7/14 – UConn got their first American Athletic Conference victory against UCF and have been rolling ever since. At 17-5, the Huskies sit in fifth place in the AAC and 18th in the Country. Connecticut was unable to finish the upset against No.7 Cincinnati Thursday, ultimately losing the hard fought matchup 63-58. Shabazz Napier led Connecticut with 16 points and three assists. Lasan Kromah had 13 points, Niels Giffey tallied 10, and Amida Brimah, Ryan Boatright, and Giffey grabbed four rebounds each. The rematch of the top 25 showdown in Connecticut (3/1) is one of five remaining games to be played at XL Center this season. The Huskies finale comes Mar 5 against Rutgers whom UConn defeated two weeks ago in NJ.
1/7/14 - While their women's basketball team has held steadfast onto their No. 1 position, the Connecticut Huskies men's team has hit a few snags in the road that has left them at No. 17. UConn opened up AAC play on New Years Eve with a strong 11-1 record, but their first couple conference outings resulting in two back-to-back losses, one to Houston and one to SMU. The Huskies bounced back from their rough start and defeated the Harvard Crimson, 56-61 yesterday at home, which shot them back into the top 10 of the conference with a 12-3 record. UConn must continue to ride this momentum for the rest of their conference play if they hope to take the AAC by storm. Be there for their biggest match of the year so far, when the Huskies host the Louisville Cardinals on Jan 16, get in for $158.
UCONN Huskies Basketball 2013-2014 Season
In his second year as head coach, Kevin Ollie is eager to take his boys to the top. With the postseason ban finally lifted, the Huskies have high hopes of entering the
NCAA Tournament
this season. Ollie replaced the legendary Jim Calhoun just last year, but because the team was ineligible (UConn was penalized due to poor Academic Progress Rates during Calhoun era), he faced light pressure to pull off a winning season. Under Calhoun, UConn won the national title in 2011 for their third NCAA Tournament Championship, and the Huskies are looking to propel themselves into the
Final 4
this season, as all systems are go.
… more
UConn's postseason rush begins on Nov 8 against the
Maryland Terrapins
Barclays Center
. Soon after, they are pitted against in-state rival
(Nov 11), later in the month they will participate in the
2K Sports Classic
Madison Square Garden
(Nov 21 and 22), and then in December they'll host No. 10 Florida in one of the
top non-conference college basketball games
of the season. The Huskies have 18 conference games, beginning with a match against the
Houston Cougars
on New Years Eve. Division opponents, the
Louisville Cardinals
are visiting Gampel Pavilion on Jan 18 and travel to the
KFC Yum! Center
Mar 8 for the last regular season game, when the Huskies try to shake up the reigning AAC Champs.
Lucky Connecticut, their top seven scorers are returning, including their "Big Three": Shabazz Napier, Ryan Boatright and DeAndre Daniels (lead rebounder last season). Fresh faces Terrence Samuels, Amida Brimah and Kentan Facey join the lineup this year, and great things are expected from newbie Facey. Last year, even though UConn knew they were ineligible, the Huskies came up with 20-11 on the season, so fans are excited to see them play with more vigor and vivacity now that the record counts! Watch the Huskies as they try to fulfill high expectations and participate in the first-ever American Athletic Conference Tournament (Mar 12-15)!

Science declares this is the funniest joke in the world
Science is poking its nose into every part of human life.
While some laugh at the very notion of us all soon becoming robots, the Googlies and their ilk continue toward their serious goal of coding humanity.
Sadly, there has to be a collision. Thankfully, science has taken it upon itself to discover which joke is truly the funniest in the world.
As the Huffington Post reports, British researcher Richard Wiseman worked hard to understand the core of humor. His story is told in a new book by Scott Weems called "Ha!: The Science Of When We Laugh And Why." … Read more

Buzzbaits work great for big bass. Want to make them work even better? Follow these easy steps to success. Plus, we offer tips for tweaking your buzzbait to make it run just the way you want it to.
Buzzbait BasicsA long baitcasting rod is preferred for most buzzbait fishing. It shouldn't be overly stiff; a 6½- to 7-foot medium-action stick often works best. A heavy-duty baitcasting reel with 14- to 30-pound, abrasion-resistant monofilament should do the trick. Steps to Success with BuzzbaitsStep 1: Stand up so you can more readily see submerged stumps, weedbeds, sunken logs and other types of cover under the surface.
Step 2: Cast the buzzbait well past your target area. Just before the lure hits the surface, turn the reel handle to engage the spool so you can begin the retrieve and get the lure to the surface immediately.
Step 3: At the beginning of the retrieve, hold the rodtip high (11 o'clock position) to keep the line out of the water, and the buzzbait on top. Reel just fast enough to maintain a steady churn as the lure moves across the surface.Step 4: Gradually lower the rodtip as the lure approaches the boat. If you keep the rodtip high, you'll lift the lure's nose out of the water and the bait won't spin properly.
Step 5: When a bass strikes, lower the rodtip to 9 o'clock, hesitate until you feel the fish's weight, then set the hook. Most misses occur because the angler sets the hook too soon.
Step 6: If the fish misses the lure on the strike, continue reeling as you pull the lure to one side or the other; the sudden change in direction often prompts a repeat strike.
How to Tweak Your BuzzbaitCreate a Directional Buzzbait for Casting toward Docks: When you're casting a buzzbait along a dock, laydown, seawall or riprap, the goal is to make it run as close as possible to the hard-to-reach strike zone. With two identical tandem buzzbaits, however, you can make a pair of lures that will help you do just that.
Start By Disassembling Two Buzzbaits: Start by disassembling the two lures. Remove the counter-rotating blades that make the lure run straight on the retrieve. Reassemble the lures so that each one has identical blades. This way, one of the lures will veer to the right; the other to the left. Select Your Directional Buzzbait: Select the lure that veers in the direction of the cover. Cast parallel to the dock, laydown or seawall, and on the retrieve, the lure will veer into the fish zone on the retrieve.

Alabama guide and pro angler Jimmy Mason has been smack in the middle of the excitement surrounding this cool new way to catch bass.
Late spring and early summer provide some of the best opportunities of the year to catch bass in shallow water with a spinnerbait. The reason is because bream as well as shad, both prime forage for bass, have moved shallow to spawn, and bass are taking advantage of it.

Blaberidae |
Cockroaches are insects of the order Blattaria or Blattodea, of which about 30 species out of 4,500 total are associated with human habitats. About four species are well known as pests.[1][2]
Among the best-known pest species are the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, which is about 30 mm (1.2 in) long; the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, about 15 mm (0.59 in) long; the Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai, also about 15 mm (0.59 in) in length; and the Oriental cockroach, Blatta orientalis, about 25 mm (0.98 in). Tropical cockroaches are often much bigger, and extinct cockroach relatives and 'roachoids' such as the Carboniferous Archimylacris and the Permian Apthoroblattina were not as large as the biggest modern species.
The name "cockroach" comes from the Spanish word for cockroach, cucaracha, transformed by English folk etymology into "cock" and "roach". The scientific name derives from the Latinized Greek name for the insect (Doric Greek: βλάττα, blátta; Ionic and Attic Greek: βλάττη, bláttē).
Notable species[edit]
- Blattella germanica, German cockroach
- Blaptica dubia, South American/Peruvian Dubia cockroach
- Blatta orientalis, Oriental cockroach
- Blattella asahinai, Asian cockroach
- Blaberus craniifer, true death's head cockroach
- Blaberus discoidalis, discoid cockroach or false death's head
- Eurycotis floridana, Florida woods cockroach
- Gromphadorhina portentosa, Madagascar hissing cockroach
- Laxta granicollis, bark cockroach
- Parcoblatta pennsylvanica, Pennsylvania woods cockroach
- Periplaneta americana, American cockroach
- Periplaneta australasiae, Australian cockroach
- Periplaneta brunnea, brown cockroach
- Periplaneta fuliginosa, smokybrown cockroach
- Periplaneta japonica, Japanese cockroach
- Pycnoscelus surinamensis, Surinam cockroach
- Supella longipalpa, brown-banded cockroach
- Ectobius spp.
Evolutionary history and relationships[edit]
A proposed phylogeny of the families.[3] |
Mantodea (praying mantises), Isoptera (termites), and Blattaria are usually combined by entomologists into a higher group called Dictyoptera. However recent genetic evidence strongly suggests that termites evolved directly from true cockroaches, and many authors now place them as an "epifamily" of cockroaches.[4][5][6]
Historically, the name Blattaria has been used largely interchangeably with the name Blattodea, and this name is used for the order by the current world catalogue, the Blattodea Species File Online. Another name, Blattoptera has come into use for this same paraphyletic group.[7] These earliest cockroach-like fossils ("blattopterans" or "roachids") are from the Carboniferous period 354–295 million years ago. However, these fossils differ from modern cockroaches in having long external ovipositors and are the ancestors of mantises, as well as modern roaches. The first fossils of modern cockroaches with internal ovipositors appeared in the early Cretaceous.
Cockroaches live in a wide range of environments around the world. Pest species adapt readily to a variety of environments, but prefer warm conditions found within buildings. Many tropical species prefer even warmer environments and do not fare well in the average household.
Cockroaches are mainly nocturnal[8] and will run away when exposed to light. A peculiar exception is the Asian cockroach, which is attracted to light.
The spines on the legs were earlier considered to be sensory, but observations of their locomotion on sand and wire meshes have demonstrated they help in locomotion on difficult terrain. The structures have been used as inspiration for robotic legs.[9][10]
Cockroaches leave chemical trails in their feces, as well as emitting airborne pheromones for swarming and mating. These chemical trails transmit bacteria onto surfaces.[citation needed] Other cockroaches will follow these trails to discover sources of food and water, and also discover where other cockroaches are hiding. Thus, cockroaches can exhibit emergent behavior,[11] in which group or swarm behavior emerges from a simple set of individual interactions.
Daily rhythms may also be regulated by a complex set of hormonal controls of which only a small subset have been understood. In 2005, the role of one of these proteins, pigment dispersing factor (PDF), was isolated and found to be a key mediator in the circadian rhythms of the cockroach.[12]
Behavioral studies[edit]
Research has shown group-based decision-making is responsible for complex behaviors such as resource allocation. In a study where 50 cockroaches were placed in a dish with three shelters with a capacity for 40 insects in each, the insects arranged themselves in two shelters with 25 insects in each, leaving the third shelter empty. When the capacity of the shelters was increased to more than 50 insects per shelter, all of the cockroaches arranged themselves in one shelter. Researchers found a balance between cooperation and competition exists in the group decision-making behavior found in cockroaches. The models used in this research can also explain the group dynamics of other insects and animals.[11]
Another study tested the hypothesis that cockroaches use just two pieces of information to decide where to go under those conditions: how dark it is and how many other cockroaches there are. The study created a set of tiny robots that appear to the roaches as other roaches and can thus alter the roaches' perception of critical mass. The robots were also specially scented so they would be accepted by the real roaches.[13]
Cockroaches are generally rather large insects. Most species are about the size of a thumbnail, but several species are bigger. The world's heaviest cockroach is the Australian giant burrowing cockroach, which can reach 9 cm (3.5 in) in length and weigh more than 30 g (1.1 oz). Comparable in size is the Central American giant cockroach Blaberus giganteus, which grows to a similar length but is not as heavy.
Cockroaches have broad, flattened bodies and relatively small heads. They are generalized insects, with few special adaptations, and may be among the most primitive living neopteran insects. The mouthparts are on the underside of the head and include generalised chewing mandibles. They have large compound eyes, two ocelli, and long, flexible, antennae.
The first pair of wings (the tegmina) are tough and protective, lying as a shield on top of the membranous hind wings. All four wings have branching longitudinal veins, and multiple cross-veins. The legs are sturdy, with large coxae and five claws each. The abdomen has ten segments and several cerci.[14]
Eggs and egg capsules[edit]
Female cockroaches are sometimes seen carrying egg cases on the end of their abdomens; the egg case of the German cockroach holds about 30 to 40 long, thin eggs in a case called an ootheca. The egg capsule may take more than five hours to lay and is initially bright white in color. The eggs are hatched from the combined pressure of the hatchlings gulping air. The hatchlings are initially bright white nymphs and continue inflating themselves with air, becoming harder and darker within about four hours. Their transient white stage while hatching and later while molting has led many to claim the existence of albino cockroaches.
A female German cockroach carries an egg capsule containing around 40 eggs. She drops the capsule prior to hatching, though live births do occur in rare instances. Development from eggs to adults takes three to four months. Cockroaches live up to a year. The female may produce up to eight egg cases in a lifetime; in favorable conditions, she can produce 300 to 400 offspring. Other species of cockroaches, however, can produce an extremely high number of eggs in a lifetime; in some cases a female needs to be impregnated only once to be able to lay eggs for the rest of her life.
Aside from the famous hissing noise, some cockroaches (including a species in Florida) will make a chirping noise.[15]
Digestive tract[edit]
Cockroaches are most common in tropical and subtropical climates. Some species are in close association with human dwellings and widely found around garbage or in the kitchen. Cockroaches are generally omnivorous; with the exception of the wood-eating species such as Cryptocercus, these roaches are incapable of digesting cellulose themselves, but have symbiotic relationships with various protozoans and bacteria that digest the cellulose, allowing them to extract the nutrients.
The similarity of these symbionts in the genus Cryptocercus to those in termites are such that they have been suggested to be more closely related to termites than to other cockroaches,[16] and current research strongly supports this hypothesis of relationships.[17] All species studied so far carry the obligate mutualistic endosymbiont bacterium Blattabacterium, with the exception of Nocticola australiensise, an Australian cave-dwelling species without eyes, pigment or wings, and which recent genetic studies indicate are very primitive cockroaches.[18][19]
Tracheae and breathing[edit]
Cockroaches, like all insects, breathe through a system of tubes called tracheae. The tracheae of insects are attached to the spiracles, excluding the head. Thus, cockroaches, like all insects, are not dependent on the mouth and windpipe to breathe. The valves open when the CO2 level in the insect rises to a high level; then the CO2 diffuses out of the tracheae to the outside and fresh O2 diffuses in. Unlike in vertebrates that depend on blood for transporting O2 and CO2, the tracheal system brings the air directly to cells, with the tracheal tubes branching continually like a tree until their finest divisions, tracheoles, are associated with each cell, allowing gaseous oxygen to dissolve in the cytoplasm lying across the fine cuticle lining of the tracheole. CO2 diffuses out of the cell into the tracheole.
While cockroaches do not have lungs and thus do not actively breathe in the vertebrate lung manner, in some very large species, the body musculature may contract rhythmically to forcibly move air out and in the spiracles; this may be considered a form of breathing.[20]
Cockroaches use pheromones to attract mates, and the males practice courtship rituals, such as posturing and stridulation. Like many insects, cockroaches mate facing away from each other with their genitalia in contact, and copulation can be prolonged. A few species are known to be parthenogenetic, reproducing without the need for males.[14]
The female usually attaches the egg case to a substrate, inserts it into a suitably protective crevice, or carries it about until just before the eggs hatch. Some species, however, are ovoviviparous, keeping the eggs inside their bodies, with or without an egg case, until they hatch. At least one genus, Diploptera, is fully viviparous.[14]
Cockroach nymphs are generally similar to the adults, except for undeveloped wings and genitalia. Development is generally slow, and may take a few months to over a year. The adults are also long-lived, and have been recorded as surviving for four years in the laboratory.[14]
Cockroaches are among the hardiest insects. Some species are capable of remaining active for a month without food and are able to survive on limited resources, such as the glue from the back of postage stamps.[21] Some can go without air for 45 minutes. In one experiment, cockroaches were able to recover from being submerged underwater for half an hour.[22] Japanese cockroach (P. japonica) nymphs, which hibernate in cold winters, survived twelve hours at -5 °C to -8 °C in laboratory experiments.[23]
Experiments on decapitated specimens of several species of cockroach found a variety of behavioral functionality remained, including shock avoidance and escape behavior, although many insects other than cockroaches are also able to survive decapitation, and popular claims of the longevity of headless cockroaches do not appear to be based on published research.[24][25] The severed head is able to survive and wave its antennae for several hours, or longer when refrigerated and given nutrients.[25]
It is popularly suggested that cockroaches will "inherit the earth" if humanity destroys itself in a nuclear war. Cockroaches do indeed have a much higher radiation resistance than vertebrates, with the lethal dose perhaps six to 15 times that for humans. However, they are not exceptionally radiation-resistant compared to other insects, such as the fruit fly.[26]
The cockroach's ability to withstand radiation better than human beings can be explained through the cell cycle. Cells are most vulnerable to the effects of radiation when they are dividing. A cockroach's cells divide only once each time it molts, which is weekly at most in a juvenile roach. Since not all cockroaches would be molting at the same time, many would be unaffected by an acute burst of radiation, but lingering radioactive fallout would still be harmful.[27]
Role as pests[edit]
Cockroaches are one of the most commonly noted household pest insects.[28] They feed on human and pet food and can leave an offensive odor.[29] They can also passively transport microbes on their body surfaces including those that are potentially dangerous to humans, particularly in environments such as hospitals.[30][31] Cockroaches are linked with allergic reactions in humans.[32][33] One of the proteins that triggers allergic reactions is tropomyosin.[34] These allergens are also linked with asthma.[35]
General preventive measures against household pests include keeping all water and food stored away in sealed containers, using garbage cans with tight lids, frequent cleaning in the kitchen, and regular vacuuming. Any water leaks, such as dripping taps, should also be repaired. It is also helpful to seal off any entry points, such as holes around baseboards, between kitchen cabinets, pipes, doors, and windows with some steel wool or copper mesh and some cement, putty or silicone caulk.
Diatomaceous earth applied as a fine powder works very well to eliminate cockroaches as long as it remains in place and dry.[36] Diatomaceous earth is harmless to humans and feels like talcum powder. Most insects, including bed bugs, are vulnerable to it.
Some cockroaches have been known to live up to three months without food and a month without water. Frequently living outdoors, although preferring warm climates and considered "cold intolerant", they are resilient enough to survive occasional freezing temperatures. This makes them difficult to eradicate once they have infested an area.
Of the numerous parasites and predators of cockroaches, few have proven to be highly effective for biological control of pest species. Wasps in the family Evaniidae are perhaps the most effective insect predators, as they attack the egg cases, and wasps in the family Ampulicidae are predators on adult and nymphal cockroaches (e.g., Ampulex compressa).[citation needed] The house centipede is probably the most effective control agent of cockroaches,[citation needed] though many homeowners find the centipedes themselves objectionable.
Ampulex wasps sting the roach more than once and in a specific way. The first sting is directed at nerve ganglia in the cockroach's thorax, temporarily paralyzing the victim for up to five minutes, more than enough time for the wasp to deliver a second sting. The second sting is directed into a region of the cockroach's brain that controls the escape reflex, among other things.[37] When the cockroach has recovered from the first sting it makes no attempt to flee. The wasp clips the antennae with its mandibles and drinks some of the hemolymph before walking backwards and dragging the roach by its clipped antennae to a burrow, where an egg will be laid on it. The wasp larva feeds on the subdued living cockroach.
Bait stations, gels containing hydramethylnon or fipronil, and boric acid powder are toxic to cockroaches.[38] Baits with egg killers are also quite effective at reducing the cockroach population. Additionally, pest control products containing deltamethrin or pyrethrin are very effective.[38]
In Singapore and Malaysia, taxi drivers use pandan leaves as a cockroach repellent in their vehicles.[39]
An inexpensive roach trap can easily be made from a deep, smooth-walled jar with some roach food inside, placed with the top of the jar touching a wall or with sticks (outside the jar) leading up to the top so the roaches can reach the opening. Once inside they cannot climb back out. An inch or so of water or stale beer (by itself a roach attractant) will ensure they drown. The method works well with the American cockroach, but less so with the German cockroach.[40] A bit of Vaseline can be smeared on the inside of the jar to enhance slipperiness. The method is sometimes called the "Vegas roach trap" after it was popularized by a Las Vegas-based TV station. This version of the trap uses coffee grounds and water.[41]
Some of the earliest writings about cockroaches encouraged their use as medicine. Pedanius Dioscorides (first century), Abu Hanifa ad-Dainuri (9th century), and Kamal al-Din al-Damiri (14th century ) all offered medicines that either suggest grinding them up with oil or boiling them, and Lafcadio Hearn claimed,[42] in the 1870s, many New Orleanians had great faith in a remedy of boiled cockroach tea.
Several roach species, notably Blaptica dubia, are raised as feeder insects for insectivorous pets. A few cockroach species are raised as pets, most commonly the Giant Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, Gromphadorhina portentosa.[43]
Given its nature as an extremely resistant creature, they have been notably used for space tests. To note is Nadezhda, a cockroach sent into space by Russian scientists during Foton-M test, and became the first terrestrial creature to give birth in space. [44]
Cultural references[edit]
Because of their long, persistent association with humans, cockroaches are frequently referred to in art, literature, folk tales and theater and film and real life. In Western culture, cockroaches are often depicted as vile and dirty pests. Their size, long antennae, shiny appearance and spiny legs make them disgusting to many humans, sometimes even to the point of phobic responses.[45][46] This is borne out in many depictions of cockroaches, from political versions of the song La Cucaracha where political opponents are compared to cockroaches, through the 1982 movie Creepshow and TV shows such as the X-Files, to the Hutu extremists' reference to the Tutsi minority as cockroaches during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994 and the controversial cartoons published in the "Iran weekly magazine" in 2006 which implied a comparison between Iranian Azeris and cockroaches. The second part of the Harry Hole crime novels written by Jo Nesbø is called The Cockroaches (Kakerlakkene in Norwegian). In the movie Men in Black a giant alien cockroach is shown as a predator and criminal who eats a farmer and then uses his skin to disguise itself as a human being. In Oliver!, the children, Mr. Bumble, and Widow Corney sing about feeding Oliver cockroaches in a canister. Award-winning computer and video game series Fallout takes place in a postatomic bomb war universe, in which enlarged, irradiated cockroaches are present as early enemies. This is a nod to the notion of their nuclear fortitude. Also, in Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, a man, Gregor Samsa, is transformed overnight into a monstrous insect with cockroach-like features. He views himself as repulsive in his new identity, and is treated as a pest and burden by even his own family. Ayn Rand in her early novel "We the Living" compared the Soviet Union to a huge pile of cockroaches. During Australian Rugby League State of Origin matches, it is common slang to refer to Queensland as canetoads and New South Wales as cockroaches.
Not all depictions of cockroaches are purely negative, however. Twilight of the Cockroaches depicts the extermination of cockroaches as a holocaust, and presents a happy ending as the pregnant lead cockroach, Naomi, escapes to mother many generations. In the Pixar film Wall-E, a cockroach that has survived all humanity is the best friend of the lead character (a robot), and waits patiently on him to return. The same cockroach survives getting squished twice. In the film Joe's Apartment, the cockroaches help the titular hero, and the narrator of the book Archy and Mehitabel is a sympathetic cockroach. In the book Revolt of the Cockroach People, an autobiographical novel by Oscar Zeta Acosta, cockroaches are used as a metaphor for oppressed and downtrodden minorities in US society in the 1960s and 70s. The image of cockroaches as resilient also leads people to compare themselves to cockroaches. Madonna has famously quoted, "I am a survivor. I am like a cockroach, you just can't get rid of me."[47] This has also led to the urban legend that cockroaches are immortal.[48] "Cockroach", or some variant of it is also used as a nickname, for example Boxing coach Freddie Roach, who was nicknamed La Cucaracha (The Cockroach) when he was still competing as a fighter. The album The Lonesome Crowded West by rock group Modest Mouse features a song with the title and lyric "Doin' The Cockroach". In the Netherlands 'Zaza the cockroach' becomes a buddy of the boy called Pluk in a popular Dutch book for children, Pluk van de Petteflet, written by Annie M.G. Schmidt. In Suzanne Collins's Underland Chronicles series, giant cockroaches are allies of humans in the Underland, and they and a toddler named Margaret (a.k.a. Boots, or "the princess," as the cockroaches call her) love each other. The cover for Papa Roach's major label debut album Infest features a cockroach on its covers. Also, in the music video for "Between Angels and Insects", a single from the same album, cockroaches make numerous appearances, most notably in its bridge, where cockroaches come out of Jacoby Shaddix's mouth when he screams.

Look out, folks. Bill O'Reilly is about to talk about global warming again on the O'Reilly Factor.
Of course, he's already reached his conclusion that "Nobody can control the climate but God." It's just that he doesn't have any data to back up his anti-science position.
So he has one of his producers on the hunt today, apparently scrambling last minute, looking for "the very best arguments" to support climate change denial. Here's the email DeSmogBlog...
All Wet on Sea Level Rise
All Wet on Sea Level Rise
Sea level rise will be one of the most important and destructive effects of climate change, so naturally, Deniers have something grossly in error to say about it.
We'll look, as always, at the source documents.
- Peter Sinclair's blog

There are several points from the video that stand out.
While it is correct that Al Gore did not state there would be a massive rise in sea level in the coming century, he also neglected to provide any date when this rise could happen by. 10,000 years maybe?
Secondly, most advocates of action on AGW demand that we adhere to what the IPCC states. But the IPCC reports have escape hatches large enough for a busload of lawyers to drive through.
The IPCC states we face a possible maximum 23" rise in sea level this century. But because of processes that they have little to no understanding of, they attach the escape clause of omitting "rapid dynamical changes in ice flow."
Well, if you don't understand the processes, how valid can the IPCC concensus be?
Secondly, Peter refers to "Meltwater Pulse 1A" in the distant past. No scientific explanation is offered. Yet Peter then goes on to say we are facing similar conditions now. Well no we aren't. If we don't understand what caused Meltwater Pulse 1A, we can't say we face a similar situation today.
Lastly, if the IPCC reports are considered the definitive authority on AGW, one can not cherry pick individual reports such as the one from the USGS that predict a sea level rise exceeding the IPCC report. Outlier reports that are not part of the concensus can not be included.
Lastly, no mention in the video is made of what sea level rise is actually doing *now*. And we know sea level rise is not accelerating and hasn't been for 100 years. If current sea level rise trends from the last 100 years continue, we will see a sea level rise of approx. 6" to 8" in the coming century.
At some point, the actual data has to be looked at, and so far the alarmist scenarios for sea level rise appear to be exactly that: alarmist but not found in the actual data (computer models excluded :)).
Take a bunch of ice cubes from your freezer. Leave them out in the room in a bowl.
Do you "understand the processes" by which they melt? Can you say when they will melt? Maybe it will take a week!
The impression I'm left with is tat the IPCC really minimized possibilities of a major Greenland/Antarctica melt off. Why would they do that? Because that possibility is way out there.
There is also some possibility that we could be hit with something as big as whatever hit Jupiter last month - which would kill us all off instantly and there's a possibility that NK,Iran, Israel, Pakistan, India etc. could set off a nuclear holocaust next week or that some super virus will kill off 6 Billion people next year.
No guarantees, but I expect that those things won't happen and I expect the -50 temps of antarctica will keep our heads above water.
I remember reading a report on how the Bush administration insisted that since no computer model existed in the summer of 2006 (deadline for technical information to be incluced in the IPCC report), that accounted for the glacier and Greenland melting, that such melting not be included in the sea lever estimate.
We know a lot more now than we did in the summer of 2006.
I think the video clip is excellent. I would also refer you to the link below which shows that Greenland's Glaciers are melting at 3 times normal rates due to the stream waters under the glacier which cause it to slip more quickly toward the ocean.
no one can say for sure that sea level rise rate is increasing at all and the vast majority of antarctica is locked in a deep freeze year round. Sometimes we hear reports that overall antarctic ice is increasing in mass. That may offset Greenland melt somewhat. So overall I remain positive about the future.
It is questionable whether Antarctic ice mass is in decline.
It has been reported that the Antarctic is losing 152 (+/-80) cubic kms per year. But the Antarctic is over 30,000,000 cubic kms of ice.
The evidence of ice loss so far in the Antarctic is quite trivial.
He said Fox news got it wrong but first of all it was Barnes who made the comment and secondly, inorder for Florida to be overcome with water like in the diagram the water level would HAVE to rise several feet and not several inches. common sense.
From NASA's JPL site:
Sea Level Rise:
Since 1993, there has been "22mm of ocean level rise" {latest measurement, taken June 2009}
"In the period 1880 to 1990, the avg. per year rise was 2mm ; since 1993 it has been 3.4mm per year [estimates] "
{derived from 23 tide-gauge measurements}
Explanation: "Sea level rise is associated with the thermal expansion of sea water due to climate warming and widespread melting of land ice"
Significant Evidence:
Global sea level rose about 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) in the last century. In the last decade, however, the rate of rise nearly doubled.
No, the rate of sea level did not rise in the last decade. They changed the system of measurement.
Prior to 1993, sea level rise was determined by tide-gauges. After 1993, the preferred measurement was by satellite. But the two systems of measurement are not equal to each other. Tide-gauge measurements from 1993 to present show no acceleration whatsoever in sea level.
Let JPL know that right away Paul. Amazing that they didnt think of that!
