LBAM--Not Your Typical Invader
UC Berkeley professor Nick Mills will head to UC Davis on Wednesday, Feb. 20 to speak on just that: "The Light Brown Apple Moth--Not a Typical Invader."
The seminar, hosted by the UC Davis Department of Entomology, is set from 12:10 to 1 p.m. in Room 1022 of the Life Sciences Addition, corner of Hutchison and Kleiber Hall drives.
Mills, with the UC Berkeley Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, says "exotic insect pests typically become invasive by building populations and spreading through a new geographic region in the absence of constraints from co-evolved natural enemies. While it is well known that environments can differ substantially in their resistance to invasions of alien species little is known of the factors responsible for this variation."
The light brown apple moth, aka LBAM, has caused quite a stir since its detection in California in 2006. That's when emeritus professor Jerry Powell of UC Berkeley discovered the invader in his back yard in Berkeley.
As a leafrolling caterpillar, LBAM loves just about everything from A to Z: apple, apricot, beans, caneberries (blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, raspberry), cabbage, camellia, chrysanthemum, citrus, clover, cole crops, eucalyptus, jasmine, kiwifruit, peach, pear, persimmon, plantain, pumpkin, strawberry, tomato, rose and zea mays (corn).
Mills says that since its discovery in California, LBAM "has accumulated a rich set of resident parasitoid species comparable to that seen in its native Australia. However, in contrast to the low levels of parasitism that invasive hosts typically experience from resident parasitoids, parasitism levels for light brown apple moth are very high."
He will discuss, among other things, "the importance of resident parasitoids as barriers to the invasions of light brown apple moth in California."
Plans are to record the seminar for later posting on UCTV. Hosting the seminar is entomologist Mary Louise Flint of the Department of Entomology/UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program.

Medfly and Moth Wars
James R. Carey is used to dissent.
The entomology professor at the University of California, Davis, fervently believes that the Mediterranean fruit fly and light brown apple moth, two exotic and invasive pests, have long been established in California and cannot be eradicated.
Trying to eradicate them, he says, is like "throwing money down a rathole."
Check out the current (Jan. 8th) edition of Science Magazine and read the three-page NewsFocus piece headlined "From Medfly to Moth: Raising a Buzz of Dissent."
This is sure to garner a plethora of comments, concern and criticism. This is about as high-profile as it gets in the scientific community. And this is not the message that the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is trying to get across. (See CDFA's Web site on the light brown apple moth).
Carey, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, just completed a term as the chair of the UC Systemwide Academic Senate University Committee on Research Policy. He also directs a federally funded program on lifespan and aging; the program just received a $3.4 million grant renewal from the National Institute on Aging.
"James Carey is at it again," began writer Ingfei Chen of Santa Cruz. "In the early 1990s, as a scientific adviser in California's unpopular pesticide-spraying war against the Mediterranean fruit fly, the entomologist vocally charged that the state's program was fundamentally flawed. Bucking conventional wisdom, Carey claimed that the Medfly was already established, defying the eradication attempt."
Fast forward to February 2007 and the discovery in California (Bay Area) of a new invasive pest, the light brown apple moth, a native of Australia.
Aerial spraying of a pheromone resulted in a "red-hot-public ruckus, forcing the state to shift to a plan to release zillions of sterile moths...And once again, Carey has surfaced as a relentless voice of dissent," Chen wrote.
Carey insists it can't be eradicated, that it's here to stay and we ought to focus on pest management, not eradication.
What's next? Michael Parrella, professor and chair of the Department of Entomology wants to organize a spring conference "to reexamine the invasive species-policy paradigm from to bottom," Chen wrote.
"The goal," she wrote, "is an open dialogue with major stakeholders," including the U.S. Department of Agriculture and CDFA.
Carey told us today that Parrella plans to meet with him and a group of other entomologists next week to discuss the proposed workshop.
"It would be nice to think we could sit down and discuss things," Parrella told Chen in the Science Magazine article. "It's not us versus them."

Light Brown Apple Moth
LBAM: What's the Status?
Remember the ravenous light brown apple moth (LBAM) and all the controversy?
The invasive agricultural pest, from Down Under, soars high on the agenda at the Northern California Entomology Society's meeting on Thursday, Nov. 5 in Concord. Also on the agenda: honey bee regulatory research.
The meeting, open to the public, will be held from 9:15 to 2:30 p.m. in the Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District office, 155 Mason Circle, Concord.
Extension Apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty and secretary-treasurer of the society, said attendance at the meeting is free. The only fee is the $15 catered lunch.
In addition to LBAM and other exotic invasive pests, the meeting will include a talk on "Honey Bee Regulatory Research" by Mike Beevers of California Agriculture Research, Fresno.
"Mike is involved with research on the effects of pesticides on honey bees," Mussen said. "Consideration of honey bees always has been important, but colony collapse disorder (CCD) has brought extreme attention to the possible consequences of bees becoming contaminated with insecticide residues, especially the 'sublethal effects.'"
The meeting begins at 9:15 a.m. with registration and coffee.
The schedule:
9:30 a.m.: "Biological Control Agents for Light Brown Apple Moth," Nick Mills of UC Berkeley
10:15 a.m.: "New Exotic Pests and Invasives of Regulatory Significance in California," Kevin Hoffman, Plant Diagnostic Center, California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA)
11 a.m. "Responding to New California State Pests: Control Programs and Pesticide Products," by Duane Schnabel, CDFA Pest Detection and Emergency Projects
11:45 a.m.: Annual business meeting, with election of new president
12 Noon: Catered lunch by Kinder's Custom Meats ($15 per person, reservations required with Eric Mussen)
1:15: "Update on Light Brown Apple Moth Eradication Program," by Laura Irons of CDFA's Light Brown Apple Moth Program
2 p.m.: "Honey Bee Regulatory Research" by Mike Beevers, California Agriculture, Fresno
Those planning to attend should contact Mussen at (530) 752-0472 or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com. For those needing continuing education hours in Laws and Regulations, California Department of Pesticide Regulation, this meeting will satisfy three hours, he said.
The Nor Cal society membership is comprised of university faculty, researchers, pest abatement professionals, students and other interested persons. Susan Sawyer of the Pest Detection/Emergency Projects, CDFA, has served as president for the last two years.
The society meets the first Thursday in February; the first Thursday in May and the first Thursday in November. Membership dues are $10 year.

Good Question
Most entomologists I know maintain a keen sense of humor.
They have to, or the insects (or the people concerned about them) will drive them buggy!
At the Northern California Entomology Society meeting in
He talked about the release of several parasitoids, including Trichogramma sp., an egg parasitoid; Meteorus trachynotus, a larval parasitoid; and Enytus eureka, a larval parasitoid.
These are the critters that can kill the light brown apple moth. The pest, known as LBAM or the "eat-everything moth," loves the Califonria climate.
Roltsch talked about biocontrol test sites in the

And now LBAM.
LBAM lays about 60 eggs at a time, sometimes up to 100. It's a native of
Its hosts include crops (grape vines, pome, stone fruit and citrus), shrubs (coral pea, tea tree, broom and Asteracae, the sunflower family) and weeds (capeweed, plantain and dock).
Roltsch talked about how much LBAM loves the Australian tea tree (Leptospermum laevigatium); manzanita, bottle brush, and other plants.
But wait, he didn't say anything about my favorite plant, the New Zealand tea tree, Leptospermum scoparium keatleyi. A sea captain named Edward John "Ted" Keatley (probably one of my relatives) discovered the cultivar in the early 1900s in
I'm sure LBAM loves that plant, too, just as it loves everything else. It's not a picky eater.
During the question and answer period, a Contra Costa County resident asked Roltsch: "How did LBAM know to settle in three counties that do not allow aerial spraying:
That question drew one of the biggest laughs of the day.
Ol' LBAM is a clever cuss. It not only eats everything but it's trained in survival skills.
I do know this: Capt. Keatley had nothing to do with transporting LBAM here.
William Roltsch
Not Again!
Not again!
The light brown apple moth, also known as "the eat-everything moth" because its larvae dine on about 250 host plants, is back in the news again.
We received a press release yesterday (Nov. 5) from Stephen Pierce, public information officer for the City of
This is the third appearance of the light brown apple moth
As of Nov. 5, the number of individual moths found in

Ironically, the Northern California Entomology Society will meet today (Nov. 6) and invasive pests are on the menu...er...agenda. The meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Contra Costa County
The society, comprised of university faculty, researchers, pest abatement professionals, students and other interested persons, meets three times a year: the first Thursday in February at the Hungry Hunter, Fairfield; the first Thursday in May at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, UC Davis; and the first Thursday in November at the Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District office, Concord. Membership dues are $10 year. UC Davis Exension apiculturist (bee specialist) Eric Mussen is the society's secretary-treasurer (firstname.lastname@example.com).
LBAM is nobody's favorite insect and everybody's favorite target. If you spot it, call the CDFA toll-free pest hotline at (800) 491-1899. You can also find more information on its Web site.

5 Excellent survival/horror shooterPalantir | 23/10/2008 | See all Palantir's reviews (14)I've been looking forward to this for a long time and was happy to find it worth the wait.I've always liked the Resident Evil and Silent Hill games and this is a similar style of game, perhaps a little more action and less horror - although very gory in places.Controls are easy to pick up, gameplay is fluid and tense and a very absorbing game.Graphics and sound are some of the best on the PSX3 and the game plays equally well as the 360. Recommend you definitely play with the lights off and sound up - a great game for Halloween and the cold winter nights aheadHighly recommend to fans of shooters and survival horror alike.Also has trophies for those who like to collect those.
5 RESIDENT EVIL IN SPACEDuncanEdwards | 23/10/2008 | See all DuncanEdwards's reviews (153)After just an hour of playing this the first impression of this game is excellent. It has a Res Evil type camera angle, amazing graphics and packs of atmosphere. It feels and plays like Res Evil , although fantastic landscapes and hordes of zombies, etc have been replaced with scary dimly lit corridors on an abandonded spaceship and some very very scary aliens.Definately worth a purchase!!!!!!!!!!!
3 Not 5 starvisorboy | 04/11/2008 | See all visorboy's reviews (9)Fail to see why people rave about this so much. When I think of survival/horror I imediately think of the old Resident Evil games, Dead Space has none of the tension or shock factor of RE, only a child could find it scary. Its basically a long drawn out shoot 'em up, going through endless corridoors and elevators shooting unimpressive monsters, and I can't believe people are still making games with end of level 'bosses', very boring. Everything is very easy to work out and requires no thought. The graphics may be excellent but the game play is uninteresting. Easy to forget.
5 The redefinition of survival horrorSpartan20 | 09/03/2009 | See all Spartan20's reviews (24)If Resident Evil 4 was the defining S.H game of the last generation, then Dead Space serves that purpose for this one (and yes, I am taking the much-hyped R.E 5 into account.) I approached this game with low expectations, in the beginning. Primarily, because it belonged to the EA stable, and after the over-commercialisation of their recent output, I didn't hold much hope for Dead Space to offer somethign new. But, something has happened of late in the EA camp that I had begun to think was an impossibility, given the slew of pop-culture friendly Madden and Need For Speed titles; they are beginning to think outside of the box of their own making. Mirror's Edge hinted at this, and Dead Space exemplifies it. This isn't just the best of EA's output, or the best S.H game of this generation, but one of the best games this side of the millennium. Relentlessly adult from the outset, already bucking modern EA sensibilities, and opening with a sequence of unanticipated intensity that immediately rouses your perceptions out of any jaded lethargy, Dead Space starts as it means to go on. Honourably borrowing, as opposed to plagiarising, Resident Evil 4's patented 'over-the-shoulder' gameplay system, whilst also making very logical additional features (walking and shooting, to name one of the most obvious), it works much better here, because of the greater intimacy of the environments and sadistically conceived aliens/demons (depends on your perspective on the game's remarkable narrative). The game makes no bones about the extremely mature content, and neither the story nor the gameplay patronise what it clearly assumes to be a primarily adult audience. Forget uber-violence and gore just for the sake of it, and instead think about subversion of human form (Hellraiser would serve as an example of this) and the human condition itself, for Jacob's Ladder and Event Horizon are blatant inspirations to this game. At anything other than the lowest difficulty, Dead Space assaults both your thumbs, and your senses, as any good S.H should, recalling just what made Resident Evil and another Jacob's Ladder inspired game, Silent Hill, so damnably involving. Enemies come at you from all sides here, very often without clear warning, leaving it to you and your instincts to survive. And that's entirely what the game is about; Survival. Pay attention, maintain focus, adapt to your enemy and you'll get through. Slip, though, and you're in for some of the nastiest death animations you'll see this gen. The game allows generous armament and a substantial sense of empowerment, but it's what you do with it those that determines supremacy, or a very, very painful game-over. EA understood that Resident Evil 4's engine as a template was the best-suited to this new endeavour, but also foresaw that that engine as it was could not hold up to accelerated action and intensity (a problem evident in the aforementioned R.E 5, unfortunately). Dead Space is never cheap, or unforgiving, but it is very unkind to the unprepared, as evidenced in certain QTE sequences that I won't spoil for you here, but those who have played it will know precisely what I'm talking about. And so, the story. Like the gameplay, it evolves steadily, and probes dark places indeed, holding back only that which is left to your perception, taking certain old contrivances and making them fresh with a greater degree of mental involvement. There's a twist to it that you may, or may not, see coming, but the impact is felt nontheless. Put simply, a sequel to this is high on my wishlist. So, if S.H is your bag, or you're looking for an introduction to the genre, getting the game shouldn't be the question; only how long before you pluck up the courage to do so...
5 TerrifyingUmbraahk | 10/12/2008 | See all Umbraahk's reviews (47)Top 100 Games Reviewer Seriously, don't play this in the dark, at night and by yourself, you will scare yourself.The atmosphere that made films like Alien, The Thing and Event Horizon what they are is present here. This game has to be the creepiest I own.The feeling that's built up when you play the game is so intense, you don't know when you're going to be attacked (especially on your first play through) I was on tenter hooks the whole time, and when something jumped out to attack it really shook me up. THe game does a good job of drawing you in to the fiction.If its not the incredibly creepy sounds and voices you hear in the distance when walking down a barely-lit corridor, or the scuttle of something above you in the air vents that will get your heart beating, then seeing a horde of necromorphs charge towards you will. These things are seriously creepy and will redefine horror for you in ways you couldn't imagine.If you don't like horror movies because you don't like being scared then seriously, don't buy this game, to put it bluntly, this game will mess you up, you'll be a nervous wreck after playing it, paranoid that things are going to jump out and get you at any moment (in the game that is, not in real life :P)But if you are like me and love all of that, and welcome the horror genre with open, bloody arms, then seriously buy this game.The freaky visuals coupled with the amazing sounds and voice acting will leave you wanting more.The game also has replay value like that of Resident Evil 4, you can go back and start over with the weapons you had and upgrade them through the game's Store, or you could just trade them in for different weapons and change your experience.As for weapons; this games has a great variety of them, I won't spoil it for you but "strategic dismemberment" is awesome.You can also purchase weapon upgrades in the Playstation Store on PSN, as well as new suits of armour to help you in the game, such as the Obsidian suit, exclusive to Playstation 3.

About rich snippets and structured data
Rich snippets (microdata, microformats, RDFa, and Data Highlighter)
Snippets—the few lines of text that appear under every search result—are designed to give users a sense for what's on the page and why it's relevant to their query.
If Google understands the content on your pages, we can create rich snippets—detailed information intended to help users with specific queries. For example, the snippet for a restaurant might show the average review and price range; the snippet for a recipe page might show the total preparation time, a photo, and the recipe's review rating; and the snippet for a music album could list songs along with a link to play each song. These rich snippets help users recognize when your site is relevant to their search, and may result in more clicks to your pages.
Three steps to rich snippets:
1. Pick a markup format.
Google suggests using microdata, but any of the three formats below are acceptable. You don't need any prior knowledge of these formats, just a basic knowledge of HTML. Structured Data Markup Helper can show you how to add microdata to your site.
- Microdata (recommended)
- Microformats
- RDFa
2. Mark up your content.
Google supports rich snippets for these content types:
Google also recognizes markup for video content and uses it to improve our search results.
3. Test your markup.
Use the structured data testing tool to make sure that Google can read and extract your marked-up data.
That's it! Once you've added and tested your rich snippets markup, Google will discover it the next time we crawl your site. A few points to note:
- It may take some time for rich snippets to appear in search results or Place Pages.
- If rich snippets aren't appearing for your site, see possible reasons why.
- Marking up your data for rich snippets won't affect your page's ranking in search results, and Google doesn't guarantee to use your markup.
Which method is right for you?
Use HTML markup if...
- You want explicit control over how Google understands the events, recipes, or other types of data on your site.
- You can add HTML markup consistently to all data items.
- Your site structure changes frequently.
- You want other search engines to understand the content on your website in addition to Google. (The data that Data Highlighter extracts is available only to Google.)
Use Structured Data Markup Helper if...
- You can update the HTML markup on your page, but don't want to write it from scratch.
- You want more control over how Google understands the data on your site than the Data Highlighter gives you.
- You want other search engines to understand the content on your website in addition to Google.

A brachial plexus injury is an injury to the brachial plexus — the network of nerves that sends signals from your spine to your shoulder, arm and hand.
A brachial plexus injury occurs when these nerves are stretched, compressed or, in the most serious cases, torn. This can happen when your shoulder is pressed down forcefully while your head is pushed up and away from that shoulder; a direct contact hit also can compress these nerves.
Brachial plexus injuries are common in contact sports such as football, but they can also result from auto or motorcycle accidents or falls. Babies sometimes sustain brachial plexus injuries during birth. Other conditions, such as inflammation or tumors, may affect the brachial plexus.
Minor injuries may get better on their own, but severe brachial plexus injuries require surgical repair.
Signs and symptoms of a brachial plexus injury can vary greatly, depending on the severity and location of your injury. Usually only one arm is affected.
Minor damage often occurs during contact sports, such as football or wrestling, when the brachial plexus nerves get stretched or compressed. Known as stingers or burners, these injuries can produce the following symptoms:
These symptoms usually last only a few seconds or minutes, but in some people may linger for days or longer.
More-severe symptoms result from injuries that seriously injure or even tear or rupture the nerves. The most serious brachial plexus injury (avulsion) occurs when the nerve root is torn from the spinal cord.
Signs and symptoms of more-severe injuries can include:
Brachial plexus injuries can cause permanent weakness or disability. Even if yours seems minor, you may need medical care. See your doctor if you have:
Damage to the upper nerves that make up the brachial plexus tends to occur when your shoulder is forced down while your neck stretches up and away from the injured shoulder. The lower nerves are more likely to be injured when your arm is forced above your head. These injuries can occur in several ways, including:
Difficult births. Newborns can sustain brachial plexus injuries when there are problems during birth, such as a breech presentation or prolonged labor.
If an infant's shoulders get wedged within the birth canal, the force used to pull the baby free also can damage the nerves in the brachial plexus. Most often, the upper nerves are injured, a condition called Erb's palsy. Total brachial plexus birth palsy occurs when both the upper and lower nerves are damaged.
Participating in contact sports, particularly football and wrestling, or being involved in high-speed accidents increases your risk of brachial plexus injury.
Given enough time, many brachial plexus injuries in both children and adults heal with no lasting damage. But some injuries can cause temporary or permanent problems:
A number of tests may be used to help diagnose the type and severity of brachial plexus injuries. When you make your appointment, be sure to ask whether you need to prepare for these tests. For instance, you may need to stop taking certain medications for a few days or avoid using lotions the day of the test.
Other suggestions for getting the most from your appointment include:
If possible, take along a family member or friend. Sometimes it can be difficult to absorb all the information you're given during an appointment. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you forgot or missed.
This is especially important if your child has a brachial plexus injury. For most babies, the injury heals on its own without any lasting damage, but children who don't show improvement in the first three to six months of life may require surgery. This means parents face some difficult decisions, and it's often helpful to have a friend or family member who can offer advice and support.
To diagnose your condition, your doctor will review your symptoms and conduct a physical examination.
To help diagnose the extent and severity of a brachial plexus injury, you may have one or more of the following tests:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This test uses powerful magnets and radio waves to produce detailed views of your body in multiple planes. It often can show the extent of the damage caused by a brachial plexus injury.
This test may be used to determine if a nerve has been severed completely from your spinal cord. This test can also be used to assess the status of arteries that are important for the limb or for reconstruction of it.
New methods of high resolution MRI, known as magnetic resonance neurography, may be used.
Computerized tomography (CT) myelography. In CT myelography, a computerized tomography (CT) scan is conducted that uses a series of X-rays to obtain cross-sectional images of your body.
CT myelography uses a contrast material, injected during a spinal tap, to produce a detailed picture of your spinal cord and nerve roots during a CT scan. This test is sometimes performed when MRIs don't provide adequate information.
Treatment depends on several factors including the severity of the injury, the type of injury, the length of time since the injury and other existing conditions.
Nerves that have only been stretched may recover without further treatment.
Your doctor may recommend physical therapy to keep your joints and muscles working properly, maintain the range of motion, and prevent stiff joints.
The healing process sometimes forms scar tissue that must be removed surgically to improve the nerve's function. Surgical repair is often required for nerves that have significant surrounding scar tissue or that have been cut or torn.
Surgery to repair brachial plexus nerves should generally occur within three to six months after the injury. The chances of improved function after surgery drop if nerve surgery occurs more than six months after the injury, as the muscles may not recover their function.
Nerve transfer. When the nerve root has been torn from the spinal cord, surgeons often take a less important nerve that's still attached to the spinal cord and attach it to the nerve that's no longer attached to the spinal cord. Surgeons sometimes may transfer two nerves to attach to two different nerves.
In some cases, surgeons may perform this technique at a level close to the targeted muscle in an effort to speed up recovery rather than doing a repair (nerve graft) farther from the muscle.
Sometimes doctors may perform a combination of nerve graft and nerve transfer.
Nerve tissue grows slowly, about an inch a month, so it can take several years to fully recover after surgery. During the recovery period, you must keep your joints flexible with a program of exercises. Splints may be used to keep your hand from curling inward.
Pain from the most severe types of brachial plexus injuries has been described as a crushing sensation or a constant burning. Drugs such as codeine sulfate are generally used immediately after the injury. Antidepressant, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant medications also can be helpful.
Pain control and a device called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) sometimes provide relief. TENS involves using electrodes attached to your skin to deliver electrical impulses to nearby nerve pathways to help control and relieve pain. In extreme cases, surgery may be necessary.
Although damage to your brachial plexus often can't be prevented, you can take steps to reduce the risk of complications once an injury has occurred:
For yourself. If you temporarily lose the use of your hand or arm, daily range of motion exercises and physical therapy can help prevent joint stiffness.
Avoid burns or cuts, as you may not feel it if you're experiencing numbness.
If you're an athlete who has experienced several injuries to the brachial plexus area, your doctor may suggest you wear specific padding to protect the area during sports.

The NCAA has imposed severe sanctions on Penn State in light of the child abuse scandal and alleged cover-up that has rocked the university and its football program.
In September 2013, the NCAA said it is gradually restoring scholarships to the Penn State University football team that were originally lost. The restoration will mean that Penn State's football team will get five more scholarships next year, and 10 more each of the following three seasons. By the start of the 2016 season, Penn State will again have the full amount of scholarships.

Rome: Country Info
Guía de destino
Italy, this country belongs to the sea, surrounded by the Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea. It is so much more than country filled with stimulations. The architecture will challenge us, the musicality of the language that seduces us and the gastronomy that invites us to stay and learn to appreciate the dolce fare niente, in the city squares or the in quietness of the countryside.
Breathless, this is how you´ll feel, so many stimulations you feel every single moment. Not only have being the roman capital during so many centuries, but still welcomed a renewed breeze of the Renaissance creativeness. Men, such as Leonardo da Vinci or Michael Angelo, who've left a unique legacy to a country that seems to be a living museum, in cities such as Rome or Florence. Venice, what can you say, where lovers are rocked by the gondolas.But Italy is also the rural Tuscany, where autumn brings warm colours and the portrait of Sicilian and Sardinian People who seem to be part of the landscape. Milan, more industrialized and prosperous, the capital city of fashion, a true parade of elegancy.In a territory the plunges into the sea, the climate varies from the continental characteristics, typical of the North and the Alp's influence and as you travel further south, it becomes warmer till you reach the arid climate of the Mediterranean.Even though you'll encounter major differences, the "humming" of this language will rock you away wherever you may be and the gastronomy will entice you however modest may be the nook where you taste it.

She wanted to make Dahi Murg today. From that Madhur Jaffrey book sitting on her dresser. The one she had checked out from the local library three months back and never renewed or returned.
The book was a treasure of good life made better with excellent food. She wished she had that kind of life, the kind spiced up with green mangoes sprinkled with red chili powder, the one rich and sensuous like the Chicken korma on Page 123, the flirty kind with a dance or two and spicy bazaar wale aloo on the side.
But no, here she was doing her second laundry of the day, while folding the first neatly. Then she had to clean the kitchen, the breakfast mess from morning and vacuum the family room. By 9 she had to be out to her job where all she did was sit in a small cubicle and enter data on a dumb screen. 8 hours of that sterile environment and her was numb by the time the clock said 5:30.
The only interesting part of the day was the half hour lunch break when she could sample Cathy's ravioli, Sujata's rawa idli and discuss Ingrid's non-existent love life. The days the girls praised her aloo-paratha or drooled over her butter chicken life seemed a lot better though. Her kohl bereft eyes shone as they praised her cooking prowess.
They would ask her the recipe in details. How many onion, chopped or sliced, paste or not, red or white... so many questions. She would preen secretly and patiently answer. Her voice glided from dull to sensuous while explaining the onion's color and shape. With a sparkle in her eye, she could go into details about how exactly the oil separating from the masala should look and what it meant to beat an egg white to stiffness.
Today though nothing like that happened. No one said a word about her aloo-gobi. Instead they praised the Swiss chocolates Ingrid's boyfriend had got. She finished her lunch in a short fifteen minute span and went back to sit in front of her screen. "No point talking to these girls and wasting time", she thought to herself . She would rather go home 15 minute early and start on that Dahi Murg.
It was almost dark by the time she returned home. After school, she had to take Nutan for karate and Rakesh for his ballet lessons. Everyday there was some chore or other to be done after work and finally when she could plonk herself on the couch with a cup of tea she would be totally out. Today she sat at her exact spot, her back resting against the arm rest, her feet stretched out, her fingers flipping through Jaffrey's "Climbing the Mango Trees". Yes, there was Dahi Murg, Chicken in a Yogurt Sauce on Page 134. She read and re-read the one page recipe, raising a eyebrow there, furrowing a forehead here.
"10 cloves of Garlic. Ahhh, now that sure is much. What was Madame Jaffrey thinking ?", she called out loud. The children used to such ramblings didn't turn a head and continued their work.
"Some Kasoori Methi would deepen the flavor in this dish, I am sure. And cashew paste, yes that would be perfect. I will see how Sujata will ignore my Dahi Murg tomorrow", she said with a steely determination in her voice.
She then flipped her phone and pulled up the Address Book.
D -- for Desi Khana...naah they don't do non-veg.
G -- Ghar ka Khana ...their aloo-gobi today was a total failure.
H -- Hardeb Home Delivery...now this was a guy who could deliver. His Shahi Egg Masala on Tuesday was so delicious that Cathy had asked in an incredulous voice " How can you cook such difficult dishes after a long day ?". She had smiled and doled out Cathy some more of the Masala.
She quickly pressed Hardeb's number. Hardeb on the other side was clearly pleased to hear his regular and connoisseur customer's voice.
"Dahi Murg? Sure Madam. Tomorrow by 8 we will deliver at your home", Hardeb's greasy voice said. "Yes, yes, Kasoori Methi and Cashew paste Madam. No, no Kari Patta.Sure Ma'm. Thank You Ma'm"
She took a deep breath. She could smell the slender sticks of cinnamon and the dark, rough, tiny peppercorns dancing in the hot oil. The Dahi Murg was going to be lovely. Hardeb had never failed her.
Tomorrow she would explain to Sujata what exactly needs to be done so that the Dahi, the Yogurt does not break in the gravy.
This is my entry for Of Chalks and Chopsticks hosted by Jaya @ Desi Soccer Mom and started by Aqua.
My Ma used to make a Doi Murgi -- a Chicken in yogurt sauce, long time back. Her recipe was based on the Doi Maach. I somehow never made it. Many years later I saw a Dahi Murg in Jaffrey's book which reminded me of my Ma's Doi Murgi. In between these episodes, Bong Working Mom had mentioned a Doi Murgi/Doi Chicken in her comments which I vaguely remembered.This recipe is an amalgamation of all the above recipes. I loved the addition of Kasoori Methi that BWM introduced and I really think it adds a wonderful flavor to this dish. You can skip Kasoori Methi and Cashew for Madhur Jaffrey's version.

This where the flash should stand...
16/06/2011In the summer of 2011, Saint Petersburg received distinguished guests of the 15th International Economy Forum. A gala reception on behalf of Saint Petersburg Governor Valentina Matviyenko was held in Mikhailovsky Garden on June 17. The main theme of all the events of those festivities was TIME. This concept did not sound abstract at all at the Forum that united many very internationally influential persons, because a lot of what would shape the international environment and happen in the future depended on those persons. Chosen as the venue, Mikhailovsky Garden became an area haunted by TIME, which could be seen, heard, and even touched owing to the numerous arts objects and installations that were arranged in the Garden's pathways and alleys along the itinerary of the guests of honor. They saw a fancy kaleidoscope of performances and theatricalized events dedicated to TIME. One of the most conspicuous areas of the Garden and the event's favorite was the Rossi Pavilion. It housed experts from the famous Swiss watch company BREGUET. That evening, the Pavilion was turned into a real watch workshop fitted out with unique equipment. The public had a rare opportunity to observe the process of making high-precision watches that required special equipment and skills comparably with real arts. In the presence of the guests, Switzerland's best watchmakers assembled watch movements, which certainly generated genuine interest and delight. On screens showing all the details of this process, high-profile politicians and representatives of the business community could see all the intricate nuances of the watchmakers' work. There was one more arts object that captured the guests' attention and evidenced the long-established ties between BREGUET and Russia. These ties were reflected in Eugene Onegin, a novel in verse written by great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin:
Meanwhile, attired for morning strolling
Complete with broad-brimmed bolivar,
Eugene attends the boulevard,
And there at large he goes patrolling
Until Bréguet's unsleeping chime
Advises him of dinner-time.
Pushkin's drawn profile decorated Mikhailovsky Garden's small poetic theater, where legendary Russian actors recited rhymed literary passages about TIME and WATCHES. In addition, the festivities had other surprises prepared by BREGUET, whose watches are known to be both rhythmical and musical. The Garden was reigned by magical melodies. A perfect present for the Forum guests was the performance by the Moscow Soloists, the chamber orchestra under the direction of maestro Yury Bashmet, who had kindly accepted BREGUET's invitation. After the concert, most participants in the Governor's Reception returned to the Rossi Pavilion, where the guests could continue their communication in a comfortable environment. The Reception went like clockwork. The guests had a good time—TIME harnessed by BREGUET.

Joker and Greeny2,
Remember something about the planes which hit the WTC 1 and 2....the engines on those aircraft were mounted on the wings. They were not like the plane you posted about ..a single engine aircraft with the engine on the fuselage.
The engines on the passenger jets were pulling the fuselage along at whatever gross speed and weight. Thus also meaning the engines at the point of impact would be penetrating ..verses just wings or wing shear....at that penetrating speed. THe engines too would be a speeding penetrating object.
It was the same with the B25 Mitchell bomber which struck the Empire state building in the 1940s in a fog. One of the engines, if I remember correctly from reading so many years ago, penetrated the building and went down an elevator shaft and wound up down at the lobby.
No doubt the wings at some point sheared off before the fuselage...or the engines..but at what speed did the plane hit???
And the wings on these jets.. full of fuel...had great weight and mass...equalling penetrating ability...even for a wing. And remember...these are not the wings of a small plane..they must be able to withstand the wind speed and lift..weight of the fuel, engine vibrations, turns and banks..etc etc. Thus meaning they are suitably reinforced or engineered.
The C 130 photo or video you provided is of an older/earlier model of C 130 used for fire fighting. It suffered a massive structural failure with the weight of the fluids used in fire fighting. I remember that incident so many years ago. That plane should have been placed in a maintenance facility for some serious disassembly and structural X raying/non destructive testing as is often done at depot level maintenance facilities. Those firefighting planes are heavily loaded with liquids for the task.
It is obvious that there was a serious. massive, and sudden weight/maneuvering failure of the structure at the wing roots in flight.
I remember thinking the same years ago when I first saw that video. A tragedy in the midst of another tragedy.

Blood lead level is a test that measures the amount of lead in the blood.
Blood lead levels
A blood sample is needed. Most of the time blood is typically drawn from a vein located on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin.
No special preparation is needed.
For children, it may be helpful to explain how the test will feel and why it is done. This may make the child feel less nervous.
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted. You may also feel some throbbing at the site after the blood is drawn.
This test is used to screen people at risk for lead poisoning. This may include industrial workers and children who live in urban areas. The test is also used to measure how well treatment for lead poisoning is working. Lead is common in the environment, so it is often found in the body in low levels.
Small amounts of lead in adults are not thought to be harmful. However, even low levels of lead can be dangerous to infants and children. It can cause lead poisoning that leads to problems in mental development.
Note: dL = deciliter
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Adults who have been exposed to lead should have blood lead levels below 40 micrograms/dL. Treatment is recommended if:

Antisocial personality disorder is a mental health condition in which a person has a long-term pattern of manipulating, exploiting, or violating the rights of others. This behavior is often criminal.
Sociopathic personality; Sociopathy; Personality disorder - antisocial
Cause of antisocial personality disorder is unknown. Genetic factors and environmental factors, such as child abuse, are believed to contribute to the development of this condition. People with an antisocial or alcoholic parent are at increased risk. Far more men than women are affected. The condition is common among people who are in prison.
Fire-setting and cruelty to animals during childhood are linked to the development of antisocial personality.
Some doctors believe that psychopathic personality (psychopathy) is the same disorder. Others believe that psychopathic personality is a similar but more severe disorder.
A person with antisocial personality disorder may:
Antisocial personality disorder is diagnosed based on a psychological evaluation that assesses the history and severity of symptoms. To be diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, a person must have had conduct disorder during childhood.
Antisocial personality disorder is one of the most difficult personality disorders to treat. People with this condition rarely seek treatment on their own. They may only start therapy when required to by a court.
Behavioral treatments, such as those that reward appropriate behavior and have negative consequences for illegal behavior, may hold the most promise. Certain forms of talk therapy are also being explored.
Persons with antisocial personality who have other disorders, such as a mood or substance disorder, are often treated for those problems as well.
Symptoms tend to peak during the late teenage years and early 20s. They sometimes improve on their own by a person's 40s.
Complications can include imprisonment, drug abuse , violence, and suicide.
See your health care provider or a mental health professional you or someone you know has symptoms of antisocial personality disorder.

I love this case! It is so pretty and I have gotten a ton of compliments on it! My only complaint is that it's very hard to plug in headphones or the charger cord with the case on- I have to take the case half way or all the way off in order to use these features of the phone.

I would not invest the 60 dollars on a phone cover if I thought it would have defects. The outside hard shell got damp (while I was running) and the color leaked all over my clothing... Not quite up to the Tory Burch standards I am used to!

I bought the blue one for my new 5s and it fits beautifully! I was a little nervous reading some of the other cell phone case reviews, but I could not be more thrilled with my case. The headphones that came with my new phone and the camera are compatible so it is functional and stylish. I get tons of compliments on my new case and am thinking about getting a back up just in case- I love it that much!

Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar (diabetes ) that starts or is first diagnosed during pregnancy.
Glucose intolerance during pregnancy
Pregnancy hormones can block insulin from doing its job. When this happens, glucose levels may increase in a pregnant woman's blood.
You are at greater risk for gestational diabetes if you:
Usually there are no symptoms, or the symptoms are mild and not life threatening to the pregnant woman. The blood sugar (glucose) level usually returns to normal after delivery.
Symptoms may include:
Gestational diabetes usually starts halfway through the pregnancy. All pregnant women should receive an oral glucose tolerance test between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy to screen for the condition. Women who have risk factors for gestational diabetes may have this test earlier in the pregnancy.
Once you are diagnosed with gestational diabetes, you can see how well you are doing by testing your glucose level at home. The most common way involves pricking your finger and putting a drop of your blood on a machine that will give you a glucose reading.
The goals of treatment are to keep blood sugar (glucose) levels within normal limits during the pregnancy, and to make sure that the growing baby is healthy.
Your health care provider should closely check both you and your baby throughout the pregnancy. Fetal monitoring will check the size and health of the fetus.
A nonstress test is a very simple, painless test for you and your baby.
The best way to improve your diet is by eating a variety of healthy foods. You should learn how to read food labels, and check them when making food decisions. Talk to your doctor or dietitian if you are a vegetarian or on some other special diet.
In general, when you have gestational diabetes your diet should:
If managing your diet does not control blood sugar (glucose) levels, you may be prescribed diabetes medicine by mouth or insulin therapy.
Most women who develop gestational diabetes will not need diabetes medicines or insulin, but some will.
Most women with gestational diabetes are able to control their blood sugar and avoid harm to themselves or their baby.
Pregnant women with gestational diabetes tend to have larger babies at birth. This can increase the chance of problems at the time of delivery, including:
Your baby is more likely to have periods of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia ) during the first few days of life.
Mothers with gestational diabetes have an increased risk for high blood pressure during pregnancy.
There is a slightly increased risk of the baby dying when the mother has untreated gestational diabetes. Controlling blood sugar levels reduces this risk.
High blood sugar (glucose) levels often go back to normal after delivery. However, women with gestational diabetes should be watched closely after giving birth and at regular doctor's appointments to screen for signs of diabetes. Many women with gestational diabetes develop diabetes within 5 - 10 years after delivery.
Call your health care provider if you are pregnant and you have symptoms of diabetes .
Beginning prenatal care early and having regular prenatal visits helps improve your health and the health of your baby. Having prenatal screening at 24 - 28 weeks into the pregnancy will help detect gestational diabetes early.
If you are overweight, decreasing your body mass index (BMI) to a normal range before you get pregnant will decrease your risk of developing gestational diabetes.

[i]Pronunciation: 'tI-t&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek
1 capitalized : any of a family of giants born of Uranus and Gaea and ruling the earth until overthrown by the Olympian gods
2 : one that is gigantic in size or power : one that stands out for greatness of achievement
People often underestimate the impact of a decade.
Often, this is because in today's world a decade can not be seen as a lengthy, period of time. In a world where it's suggested that human civilization is thousands of years old, where the Earth itself is billions of years old, and the universe older still, it's not hard to see why so many would doubt the impact of a "measly" ten years.
Those who assume this, of course, would often find themselves to be wrong. After all, World War II changed the face of the world forever with the appearance of the Nazis, the creation of the UN, and the development of the atom bomb. Towns and cities centuries old were demolished in a fraction of the time it took to build them. Works of art were lost and destroyed, and millions of lives across the globe disappeared forever. And even then, World War II lasted "only" about seven years. In the three years after, Super Sonic flight was achieved, the Cold War between the United States and Russia begun, and computers were introduced for the first time.
Indeed, staggering amounts of changes and events can happen in the span of a decade.
This story, in particular, will be covering one of these decades. Or rather, the end of one of them. Eleven years ago, a scientist attempted to create the "perfect little girl" in a laboratory beneath his house. The ingredients: sugar, spice and everything nice. Added to this by accident was a compound called "Chemical X," only because many of it's properties at the time were a mystery, with a seemingly random effect on anything it touches.
When this chemical was added, the ingredients mixed and reacted to create something out of the blue: three girls, fully clothed, with enough intelligence from the outset to speak English. It would be many years later when the reason for this would be explained. Until then, it was just another unexplainable phenomenon that results from Chemical X.
Their was another thing about the girls that was unusual.
They had super powers.
According to the professor, these powers had not even appeared gradually. Almost as soon as they were born, the girls exhibited powers of flight, incredible strength and speed, and the power to concentrate light into a destructive force with only their eyes. Only days after they were born, these powers were at such a level that destroying Townsville would have–literally–been child's play.
Fortunately, though, the girls grew and matured. They learned to not only hardness and control their powers, but also learned several other abilities as well. Screams that can shatter buildings, beams that are emitted from their hands, and even the power to "cloneâ€

"Poetry is one of the purest expressions of linguistic freedom. It is a component of the identity of peoples and it embodies the creative energy of culture, for it can be continuously renewed." ~ Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, Message for the World Poetry Day
* * *
On the UNESCO website, it is written:
Poetry contributes to creative diversity, by questioning anew our use of words and things, our modes of perception and understanding of the world. Through its associations, its metaphors and its own grammar, poetic language is thus conceivably another facet of the dialogue among cultures. Diversity in dialogue, free flow of ideas by word, creativity and innovation. World Poetry Day is an invitation to reflect on the power of language and the full development of each person's creative abilities.
Every year on 21 March UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Science, and Cultural Organization) celebrates the World Poetry Day. A decision to proclaim 21 March as World Poetry Day was adopted during the UNESCO's 30th session held in Paris in 1999.
According to the UNESCO's decision, the main objective of this action is to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and to offer endangered languages the opportunity to be heard within their communities. Moreover, this Day is meant to support poetry, return to the oral tradition of poetry recitals, promote teaching poetry, restore a dialogue between poetry and the other arts such as theatre, dance, music, painting and so on, support small publishers and create an attractive image of poetry in the media so that the art of poetry will no longer be considered an outdated form of art but one.
UNESCO encourages the Member States to take an active part in celebrating the World Poetry Day, at both local and national level, with the active participation of National Commissions, NGOs and the public and private institutions concerned (schools, municipalities, poetic communities, museums, cultural associations, publishing houses, local authorities, etc.).
* * *
Note: UNESCO's mission is to contribute to the building of peace, the eradication of poverty, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue through education, the sciences, culture, communication and information. UNESCO works to create the conditions for dialogue among civilizations, cultures and peoples, based upon respect for commonly shared values.
You may add your own words of peace in honor of World Poetry Day to an International Peace Poem being created through a website coordinated by Melinda Gohn of Hawaii.
She writes, "Join us in creating this worldwide peace poem. If we believe that the violence in daily life can influence the way our children think and behave, then we should appreciate any time spent directing them and ourselves toward a pattern of peaceful thoughts and behavior.
"The Peace Poem is a personal meditation, a creative act of good will. Take a moment to place your thoughts about peace on the Peace Poem. The intent is to encourage this inclination toward peace in the spirit of each adult and child. It recognizes the importance of every individual in contributing to this worldwide affirmation of the sanctity of the human spirit. People contributing lines to the poem include Willie Nelson, Arlo Guthrie, Miss America, students worldwide …
"You may click here to email us your two lines of poetry. Please type your name, city and country! The Peace Poem Project has collected lines of poetry from youths and adults in 70 different languages and received lines of poetry from Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann, Miss America, Miss Hawaii, Willie Nelson, and Hawaii's First Lady, Governor Linda Lingle."
You may read about the project, see pictures and news stories, view the poem, and find out about international participants in the project, at peacepoem.org/index.htm.
