But there's a downside to making a big, showy display to attract pollinators—you might also attract visitors who have less helpful intentions than gathering up some pollen and moving on to the next flower. Showy flowers might attract animals that steal the rewards offered to pollinators—or they might attract animals that eat the flowers themselves, or the developing seeds created by pollination. So the evolution of attractive floral displays might very well be a compromise between attracting the right visitors, and attracting the wrong ones.

Pssst. Your holobiont is showing.
Here's a sad story: Species A mates with Species B. They succeed in making a Hybrid Baby but their Hybrid Baby dies before it can fully develop. (I warned you it was sad.) Why did that happen? Sure, sometimes two genomes are just too different to successfully coexist – both the stars and the chromosomes must align to make a baby. Other times, as recently reported by Brucker and Bordenstein, the Hybrid Baby's microbiota is the problem.
In Nasonia wasps, there are three closely related species that all diverged less than one million years ago: Nasonia vitripennis (who I'm going to refer to as the V wasp), N. giraulti (the G wasp) and N. longicornis (the L wasp). When L and G mate and their LG offspring are mated to other LG offspring, 8% of the males die. When V and G mate and their VG offspring are mated to other VG offspring, 90% of the males die.
Brucker and Bordenstein hypothesized that microbes were responsible for the hybrid lethality of the the VG hybrids. Through DNA sequencing, they found that the gut microbes of the VGxVG wasps were unlike either parental type (in abundance or diversity), whereas the LGxLG wasps were. So, when a hybrid's gut microbiota is like one of the parental species, the hybrid males live. When the gut microbiota is unlike a parent, the hybrid males die. They further found this could be boiled down to a change in the single dominant species: whereas a Providencia bacterium was most abundant in both V and G parents, a Proteus bacterium was most abundant in VGxVG wasps.
But that doesn't conclusively show that microbes are responsible for the hybrid lethality. Brucker and Bordenstein then compare germ-free hyrbids to conventional hybrids – in other words, if we remove the germs (the microbiota, that is), do the hybrids still die? The short answer is no. Under normal conditions, about 80% of the pure Vs and pure Gs survive, whereas only 10% of the VGxVGs survive. Under the germ-free conditions, about 70% of the pure Vs and pure Gs survive and 60% of the VGxVGs survive. That's a pretty significant increase in living hybrids! And to strengthen the case even more – when the germ-free wasps were fed a mixture of Providencia and Proteus bacteria, the hybrid survival rates went down to about 30%.
The authors perform other experiments for this study that include analysis of wasp genomic loci that were previously linked to hybrid lethality and a transcriptomic analysis, where they find immune genes to be a significant player. However, I'm going to switch gears a little bit and talk about the context the authors frame their discoveries in: the HOLOGENOME concept.
Most evolutionary biologists probably consider the individual as the fundamental unit of natural selection. We think about the genes of one mother or one father being passed on to one descendant. But is this view too constrained? The "hologenome" is all the genomes that belong to the "holobiont" – an organism and all its microbes. The Hologenome Theory of Evolution posits that the holobiont is the fundamental unit of natural selection, not just "the big organism". Generally speaking, this makes a lot of intuitive sense, I think: we macros are pretty dependent on micros to get our genes to the next generation. But is the reverse true? To be THE fundamental unit of selection, the holobiont must pass its hologenome to its offspring – and I'm not sure this assumption universally holds. Certainly some macro-organisms always pass specific micro-organisms to their offspring (coprophagy in mammals might be a good example). But in most cases, where our microorganisms come from is a mix of vertical transmission (from our parents) and horizontal transmission (from the environment). I just can't make this distinction make sense with what I think I know about heredity and selection. Natural selection depends on traits that make an organism more fit being passed on to its offspring and if some – or most? – of our microbiota is randomly acquired from the environment, natural selection can't act on it. On the other hand, it's very possible reality doesn't abide by our definitions: perhaps only a few microbial taxa need to be passed directly from parent to offspring and these "founders" get microbial communities off on the right track and the rest of the communities fall into place from the environment.
Regardless – Brucker and Bordenstein pretty conclusively turned that sad story into a science story by showing that in Nasonia wasps, gut microbes play an integral role in hybrid survival. And if the Hologenome Theory of Evolution applies anywhere, I'd say it does here!
When the going gets tough, mutualism gets going
Evolution by natural selection is not usually considered very peaceful—the "survival of the fittest" is usually assumed to come at the expense of competitors for food or shelter or other resources. But the "fittest" can also be those who recruit assistance from other individuals, or other species—and who provide assistance in return.
This was the perspective of Peter Kropotkin, a Russian prince and political anarchist who studied the wildlife of Siberia while working as an agent of the Czar's government. In the harsh conditions of the Siberian winter, Kropotkin reported finding not a bitter struggle over scarce resources, but what he called "Mutual Aid" among species, as well as in the human settlements that managed to eke out a living.
Something like what Kropotkin described is documented in a new paper by Elizabeth Pringle and colleagues. Examining a protection mutualism between ants and the tropical Central American tree Cordia alliodora, Pringle et al. found that drier, more stressful environments supported more investment in the mutualism.
Your dinner or your life: What determines the sprint speed of gazelles, zebras, giraffes … and ostriches?
In the evolutionary history of big herbivores and the carnivores that prey upon them, the phrase "arms race" is only technically a metaphor. Antelope and zebras are literally born to run, and many of the things that chase them, like wild dogs or cheetahs, are either masters of endurance or champion sprinters. The evolutionary story almost writes itself: over millions of years of chasing, and being chased, whenever the predators evolved to become faster, the prey were selected to run even faster—until a cat evolves that can go from 0 to 60 faster than my Volkswagen Rabbit.
Except of course there's more to life than running for your life. An antelope's frame is under more demands than evading cheetahs—it also needs to travel long distances to follow food availability with the shifting rainy season. In fact, the North American fossil record suggests that big herbivores on that continent evolved long legs for distance running millions of years before there were predators able to chase after them. And then again, not all predators run their prey down; lions, for instance, prefer to pounce from ambush.
In a paper recently released online ahead of print in the journal Evolution, Jakob Bro-Jørgensen sets out to disentangle exactly these competing explanations.
Who are the people in your neighborhood, Baba Brinkman?
Baba Brinkman's latest salvo in his quest for a fact-based justification for his proposal to select meanness out of the human race by not sleeping with it really boils down to a question most members of my generation will likely remember from a childhood saturated in "Sesame Street": Who are the people in your neighborhood?
We've come to this question because Brinkman has finally discovered that there is, in fact, data that might suggest genetic variation contributes to variation in "meanness"—even if he couldn't be bothered to cite it in connection with the campaign up to now:
In his new post, Yoder's argument is not that male violence isn't an adaptation; rather, he argues that our violent tendencies have been so completely drilled into us by natural selection that they show insufficient genetic variation for selection to act on …
He's right that a complete lack of individual genetic differences in proneness-to-violence would be a death-blow for my campaign, but luckily for me and all the other peaceniks who support the DSWMP credo, Yoder simply didn't bother to look up any of the evidence.
You have to love how, after implicitly conceding the factual point—that in his first attempt to shore up the scientific basis of DSWMP, he cited data that has nothing to do with the question at hand—Brinkman chides me for not doing my homework. In fact I've acknowledged at every step of our little back-and-forth that there is a body of research which suggests there's some genetic contribution to variation in what we might call "meanness." My argument isn't that this genetic contribution doesn't exist—it's that this genetic contribution is pretty much meaningless from the perspective of an individual person's dating life.
Baba Brinkman says he wants my money
But he doesn't want it badly enough to actually address the substance of any of my criticisms of his scheme to rid the world of meanness via "an entirely defensible 'bottom up' form of eugenics."
Oh, and I see he's speculating about my sex life. Real charmer, this guy.
In his non-response response, Brinkman doubles down on his fixation with the fact that, across human populations, males become more likely to be involved in violent crime right around the time we hit puberty:
@NothingInBio at #Evol2013: What we're presenting
The Evolution 2013 meetings are nearly upon us, and most of the team here at Nothing in Biology Makes Sense! are going to be in Snowbird, Utah for the joint annual meeting of the American Society of Naturalists, the Society of Systematic Biologists, and the Society for the Study of Evolution. Rather than make you hunt through the online program, here's where we'll be, and what we're presenting:
- Amy will present "The population genetics of rapidly evolving reproductive genes: How much variation should we expect to find?" on Sunday at 9:30, as part of the Evolutionary Genetics and/or Genomics section in Cotton D/Snowbird Center. [program link]
- Look for some of CJ's work in a lightning talk by her dissertation advisor, Mark Dybdahl, titled "Identifying the molecular basis of coevolution: merging models and mechanisms" on Monday at 11:45, in Superior B/Cliff Lodge. [program link]
- Noah will present "What can we learn from sequence-based species discovery? An example using sky island fly communities" on Tuesday at 9:30, as part of the Community Ecology and Evolution section in Peruvian A/Snowbird Center. [program link]
- Sarah will present "Nature, nurture and the gut microbiota in the brood parasitic Brown-headed Cowbird" on Tuesday at 10:30, as part of the Community Ecology and Evolution section in Peruvian A/Snowbird Center. [program link]

Looks like we're in for a busy Tuesday! But this year, you won't have to choose between us.
The beef I have with The Paleo Diet
I've heard a lot about "The Paleo Diet" lately and every time a popular news source (say NPR or ABC or Fox News or New York Times) does a piece, I cringe a little bit. For those of you who have never heard of the Paleo Diet (from Wikipedia):
The paleolithic diet…is a modern nutritional plan based on the presumed ancient diet of wild plants and animals that various hominid species habitually consumed during the Paleolithic era—a period of about 2.5 million years duration that ended around 10,000 years ago with the development of agriculture.
So that's the basic idea – people restricting their diet to things that we ate before modern agriculture. I don't really have a problem with the diet, per se – removing highly processed foods and increasing your activity level is a good idea for almost anyone. But the rationale that always accompanies the diet – that's where the cringe comes in.
The rationale goes like this (again from Wikipedia):
Paleolithic nutrition is based on the premise that modern humans are genetically adapted to the diet of their Paleolithic ancestors and that human genetics have scarcely changed since the dawn of agriculture, and therefore that an ideal diet for human health and well-being is one that resembles this ancestral diet.
I can break this rationale down into three assumptions/statements:
1. Evolution acts to optimize health.
2. Evolution adapted us to eat a specific diet.
3. Therefore, today, we should eat that diet to optimize our health.
As an evolutionary biologist, I think there are logical and scientific flaws to each of these statements.
Is corn the new milk? Evolutionarily speaking, that is.
Cross-posted from Denim and Tweed.
It is a widespread misconception that, as we developed the technology to reshape our environment to our preferences, human beings neutralized the power of natural selection. Quite the opposite is true: some of the best-known examples of recent evolutionary change in humans are attributable to technology. People who colonized high-altitude environments were selected for tolerance of low-oxygen conditions in the high Himalayas and Andes; populations that have historically raised cattle for milk evolved the ability to digest milk sugars as adults.
A recent study of population genetics in Native American groups suggests that another example is ripening in the experimental fields just a few blocks away from my office at the University of Minnesota: Corn, or maize, may have exerted natural selection on the human populations that first cultivated it.
The target of this new study is an allele called 230Cys, a variant of a gene involved in transporting cholesterol. 230Cys is known only in Native American populations, and it's associated with abnormally low production of HDL cholesterol (that's the "good" kind of cholesterol) and thereby increased risk for obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. In Native American populations, the genetic code near 230Cys shows the reduced diversity associated with a selective sweep, which suggests that, although it's not particuarly helpful now, this variant may have been favored by selection in the past.
#Evol2012: Puffin poop and predation pressures
A final few propitious presentations from the Evolution meetings in Ottawa:
Kirsten Bowser is running puffin faeces through next-generation sequencing to identify what the adorable seabirds eat—and she's already found some prey species that wouldn't be easily identified just by watching what puffins bring back to their nests.
Brian Counterman showed that hybridization between subspecies of the South American butterlfy Heliconius erato with different wing patterns can transfer wing patterning between subspecies—mostly by transferring a single chunk of DNA that doesn't code for any protein, but performs a regulatory function. What's more, the same region is being moved between multiple pairs of hybridizing H. erato subspecies.

I think I remember liking this a bit more on tap up in Seattle but out of the bottle is only a notch down. This is a good looking beer, a nice deep reddish orange color with a 1 inch head that lasted a bit. The bubbles in the head weren't particularly small but they held up well. Not any noticeable carbonation to be seen.
The smell is a whiff of marmalade and not much else. Not overpowering, that is for sure, but decent. I really didn't get much else out of it.
This is a slightly dry beer, not very hoppy, and the carbonation is just barely there, enough to let you know. It is a nicely sweet beer, the maltiness sticking out a bit to smooth it out. It does have a smoky aftertaste but I don't think I noticed the peat mentioned on the bottle.
It sits well in the mouth, asking for another hit or, even better, a visit to Pike's itself. Well done.

Lucent, dark orange-amber; butterscotch more specifically. The head is light caramel in color with a definite orangish tint and is sitting at a solid two fingers as I type. It's in no hurry to depart, but when it finally does, sudsy scraps and small sheets of lace make their way to the glass. Not quite what I have in mind when I think 'wee heavy', but it's an acceptable look.
Disappointing. There's no other way to describe the aroma since it has very little, if any, Scotch ale characteristics. What reaches my nose is a muddled conglomeration of malt and hops with a phenolic scent that does not put me in mind of the great phenolic whiskies of Scotland. It isn't a bad nose really, but is an unfocused, weak, somewhat anti-style one.
The flavor follows suit. Kilt Lifter is not especially good beer. The phenolic, medicinal flavor coming from the yeast (I assume) overpowers all of the other potential flavors to the detriment of the whole. It's malt-dominant... without being all that malty. It's more sweet than bitter... without being overly sweet. All in all, the mishmash of flavors don't come together well at all. I wish that the medium-long finish was only half as long.
Kilt Lifter (a fairly common name it seems) is not good beer. It misses the style mark by a fairly wide margin, yet isn't so bad that it's completely without merit. It really isn't worth a purchase though and I'm glad that I only bought one bottle. Pass this one by.

The beer pours a nice amber color with a thick frothy offwhite head that quickly fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It has a mild crystal malt scent with a bit of peated malt aroma. The taste is good, although I'm not sure it really nails the style too well. It has a nice and light malty core with a smokey feel and a rather bitter hop aftertaste . It goes down smooth and has a grainy bisquit malt and hop finish. The mouthfeel is good. It is a medium bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a fine brew. It is certainly unique and quite flavorful; a good drinker.

Highly dissapointed in this one...thin...fizzy...lacks peat...lacks maltiness...has almost a fruity sourness...very unremarkable drinking experience. I would never buy this one again...perhaps it's old but we got it from Liquid Solutions and I assume they only ship fresh beer..even if it is old a 6.6% Scotch should hold up better...tangy tasting...just not at all what I expected....light orange color....nose almost smells like a barnyard...tart on the finish...not very good at all

This beer pours an amber color with a small head that goes away fast and doesn't leave any lacing on the glass. kmpitz2 described the aroma as tomato and spices and I totallly agree. The flavor was much the same. I didn't even detect any peated malt. Something really strange about this brew, not in a good way. I had to pour this one out.

This beer pours a golden amber color with a finger of head that falls to ring the beer. The nose is really strange. The first thing that comes to mind is tomato, some leather and spiceyness. I hope the flavor is different. What I get in the flavor is odd. I get the peated flavor, but it tastes a bit like leather. There is a bit of bite in the finish, but overall I don't like the beer all that much. Not what I want from a Scotch. The feel is rather thin, and drinkability suffers from the odd notes I get in the flavor and nose. I would not recommend this beer.

Pours a copper orange with a white cream head that fades rather quickly. The smell is of roasted malts and grilled fruit, alcohol lingers. The taste is very light for this style, roasted malts and fruit blend well with the alcohol tones, hopyp dryness bring up the rear. A drinkable Scotch Ale but lighter than most, I like Scotch Ales with a cigar but this one just doesn't quite make it to the cigar room.

Copper infused rust color, a bit of chill haze to it, large and thickly fluffed beige head sits well for a while before descending to a thin collar and the lacing sticks in strings and spots. Aroma is super yummy malt goodness, thick and dark caramel, super nice peat moss thats not overly smokey, but favorlaby earthy and has a terrific sweetness to it overall. Taste follows suit with a brigade of dark caramel and toffee sweetness with super nice earth tones and breadiness to make it rich and thick. Again the peat is there but not overwhelmingly smokey, it adds just enough to it to really go "Wow". Hops play underneath more towards the finish with a slight spice and bite helping the end of warmth and add to some of the slight dryness. Great feel, nearly full, very well rounded, and toothsweet smoothness and the low carbonation makes this a creamy thick treat to drink. The first thing that came to mind, and only after a few sips, is that its a whole hell of alot like a good barleywine. But without all the baggage of the higher ABV. A real plus and incentive to get alot more of this in the future, as it is quite a malty, yummy treat. One I would keep in my fridge alot if I could get it. Yummy! Did I already say that?

Pours a clear tea color with a most but very creamy off-white head. The smell consists of a musty smoke aroma with smooth malt tones as well. The taste is malty with a smokey overtone and very light hops and again the musty presence with a medicinal end to each swallow. The carb bite in this beer with the flavors seems somewhat electrified with a nine-volt batter that zaps the tongue. This is a light bodied beer that finishes smokey dry.
Notes: It has alot going for it but one thing that really is out of whack is the ultra thin mouthfeel. Still fairly drinkable, but it comes up short of a great beer.

Pike Kilt Lifter Scotch Style Ale was served from a 22 oz. bottle. In a pint glass, the beer was a clear orange caramel brown color, and was topped by a negligable head. that left weak lacing. The nose was quite malty, with a nice orange citrus presence and just a slight hint of peat smoke. I would have liked the peat to be more pronounced. I was pleasantly suprised by the taste though. A sweet flash is very quickly eclipsed by a powerful orange zippy bitterness, which lasts though to the drier, very estery earthy bitter finish...very nice and lively.. The body felt appropriately full for the flavors and style, but the carbonation was a bit lacking, which was apparant from the lack of a significant head. Overall, a very tasty effort that drinks well.

Appearance Dark orange in color and thick. The head was nice as well, pitting into little puddles on top of the body and leaving a little lacing.
Smell The caramel malt aroma is smooth and pleasant. Im not catching a lot of scotch, though.
Taste The scotch taste is there, but very light. Its also very smooth, which is something you often dont find when sampling this style. This one also has some powdery pepper spicing to it.
Mouthfeel A little thinner than I had hoped, but the smoothness makes up for it.
Drinkability I dont know if Ill be lifting my kilt after one of these, but it sure was tasty.

Dark copper body with a light tan head. Smells of sweet, almost winey malts. Slight medicinal character and some hops too. Taste starts with the winey sweetish malts, bread pudding, and then a smokey-peat bog flavor. Finish is more bitter than other Scotch ales I've had, with lingering sweetness. Medium to big body, with a little syrupy feel. A little sweet to drink much.

I've enjoyed this quite often over the last couple years. Like all Pike beers, it has a very nice label; clean lines, stately.
It pours a deep mahogany with a nice, uneven head. Carbonation tops it in very sporadic patterns, like the yeast was still active. The smell is sweet and malty with a slight smoked tinge. The taste in this batch is a bit sweet, but normally its a wonderful full and chocolate body. If you're not careful, you can drink a whole sixer, and it really affects your skiing.

I think I have sampled at least 4 or 5 beers that call themselves Kilt Lifters, well in my humble opinion, Pikes is the best. Also why is it so hard to find a Good Scotch Style Ale?
A beauteous orange to amber color, the head prodigious in size, creamy in texture, a nice light tan in color and the residual lace a thick and sticky sheet to meld with the glass. Sweet malt is the nose, fresh and inviting, the start ambrosial, malt laden, and the top rich in its feel to the palate. Finish has a delectable acidity, the hops spicy and pleasant, dry aftertaste and a real treat.

Bought in the 12 oz brown "long neck"..like the nice simple label of this beer,.
The appearance of this beer is above average but nothing to get excited about nice amber/red colour.with a small head that goes quick to be replaced by a good sized laceing.
Amostly malty scent as would be expected from this brew..not great though.
I actually enjoyed the taste of this beer very well..sweet yet smoky maltiness is replaced by a nice balanced hop bitterness near the end..nice dark coiffee flavour here.
Feels fine inside the mouth..smooth yet still tingles the bitter buds on the back of the tongue..good
Overall i could drink a few of these in a session..might just do that if i ever see it on tap up here!

12 oz. brown long neck bottle with a freshness date on the back.
Appearance: Tawny leathery amber colour holding some haze, enticing head has a stable retention.
Smell: Big sweetness with a very faded smoke, light fruity alcohol and caramel malt twang.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Layered smoothness with a creamy slickness. Solid malty palate, sweetness plays off the toasted grain and medium hoppiness. Suggestions of fruit punch, earthy yeast and caramel in the back. Slightly warming alcohol. Hit of citric rind in the end? Handful of residual sweetness in the end combats the semi-think hop flavour in the end.
Notes: Smaller in stature than most Scotch Ales I have had, a decent strong amber that was easy on the palate with a balanced malt and hop.

Pours a red/gold color with a medium off-white dissipating head. The smell was breadlike with a slight smokey hint. This beer had a toasted bread and slight peat like flavor with peppery alcohol and somewhat piney finish. It also had a pretty firm mouthfeel. A good and tasty scottish ale.

A clear, red-gold Scotch Style Ale with a medium, off-white dissapating head. The smell I couldn't quite place at first, after reading the label it was quite clear...slightly burnt or smokey peat. It has a slightly "burnt" taste, and is malty, with a cedary finish. It has a firm texture in my mouth. Overall, I found this beer to be strangely different but definitely enjoyable.

Oooooh. I really like this beer. Out of the traditional PNW bottled staples, Pike's Kilt Lifter and Bridgeport's Pintail Ale are among the more frequently chosen brews to have, Modelled after traditional scotish heavy ales, Pike's version has an interesting blend of smokey peat on the palette along with some real thirst quenching kicks from its arrangement of hops.
Pours very clean with a moderate size head, giving way to a decent collar, a tight surface foam and decent glass lacing. Although not pegged as a bitter, this one certainly plays double duties for my own tastes and because it has a fairly bitter punch to it, its a great addition with a meal. But be forewarned, if you're not careful, this 'heavy' will quickly become a warming ale as its 6.6%abv can sneak up on you when you least expect it,
When you see Pike Place in the store, this Pike Kilt Lifter is the one I'd recommend from this classic Seattle brewery.

Soft orange bodied with a small but tight cream colored head. Retention is middle of the road.
Full maly aroma. Distinctive peat notes (not really smoky, though). Sweet and earthy.
Taste begins with a heavy toffee melee. Sweet and chewy. Never approaches cloying. Dough flavors rest below and bulk this one up even more. Organic earthiness holds down the middle. Quick pangs of smoke and metal. Dries considerably towards the finish. Hops are an understated force. Spicy, and herbal. Alcohol is briefly noted towards the end.
Medium-full bodied, next to zero carbonation. Rolls like a thunderhead across the mouth's horizon. Bold yet rounded and almost soft at times.
I think it is safe to call Pike's an outstanding brewery.
Many thanks to jreitman for this one.

Daniel's point on the hops is well taken. But I dissagree with him on the body being too light. Kiltlifter does have a lighter body but not every Scotch ale is a Wee-heavy. I think if you were to put this beer in a 60 shilling (or light) catagory then the body fit just fine. The malt profile is supurb and could not be better. I did take off a point for too much hop for the style but in their defense it is brewed in the middle of hop country so extra hops are hard to resist.

A little to light for a scotch ale, both in terms of taste and color. Instead of a chewy brew you get a medium-bodied ale that is a touch too bitter. Since most scotch ales are naturally sweet (though not overwhelmingly so), I was slightly disappointed with this one.

Missouri History Museum President Archibald resigns
- Greta Weiderman
- Reporter- St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
Robert Archibald has resigned from the president's post at the Missouri History Museum.
Archibald has submitted a letter of resignation to the chairman of the museum board of trustees, John Roberts, confirmed Everett Dietle, director of marketing at the Missouri History Museum.
The board's executive committee will meet at 9:30 a.m. Friday to discuss the resignation, according to Dietle.
On Dec. 12, Roberts expressed public support of Archibald at a museum board of trustees meeting.
The museum came under scrutiny this fall when an audit report found the museum spent about $1 million to buy an acre of land on Delmar that is now generously appraised at $232,000, and questioned Archibald's compensation, including about $580,000 in a lump sum for long-past unused vacation.
Some Zoo-Museum District board members, in order to support their allegations of governance failures, "have consistently referred to the use of 'public funds' for the purchases of the Delmar property and to satisfy Dr. Archibald's payment for unused vacation from 1996 through 2007 as required by his employment contracts in effect during that period," Roberts said in a statement Dec. 12. "While it is true that 'public funds' were or may be used (donations to a 501(c)3 are public funds and must be utilized in accordance with IRS regulations) it is not true that tax dollars were used or were intended to be used (as we have clearly stated numerous times). I personally challenge those who say otherwise to prove that tax dollars were used for such purposes."
Roberts' backing came on news earlier in the day Dec. 12 that Gloria Wessels, chair of the Zoo-Museum District Audit Committee, had asked Alderman Joe Roddy for his parks committee to hold hearings about the allegations against Archibald.

Want your kids to do better in school? Try exercise
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Children who get more exercise also tend to do better in school, whether the exercise comes as recess, physical education classes or getting exercise on the way to school, according to an international study.
The findings, published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, come as U.S. schools in general cut physical activity time in favor of more academic test preparation.
Amika Singh, who worked on the study, said the findings meant that schools should prioritize both academics and exercise and that families could have the same attitude at home.
"Maybe it's an activity break, stand up every half an hour in class and do something," said Singh, from VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam.
"It might mean going to school by bike ... Any kind of physical activity you can think of. It doesn't mean only the physical education standard class."
Singh and her colleagues reviewed 14 studies that compared kids' physical activity with their grades or scores on math, language and general thinking and memory tests.
Those included two types of reports, such as 10 so-called "observational studies" in which researchers asked parents, teachers or students themselves how active they were, then followed them for a few months to a few years to track their academic performance.
In the four other studies, one group of kids was given extra time for physical education classes and other health and fitness exercises, and their test scores were later compared against a group of kids who didn't get extra exercise.
When researchers asked students how much time they spent exercising, they found that those with higher rates of physical activity did better in the classroom.
Three of the four studies involving an exercise intervention found that students given more exercise time scored higher on measures of academic performance.
In one report from the United States, second and third graders who got an extra 90 minutes of physical activity per week did better on a test of spelling, reading and math, along with gaining less weight over the next three years.
That may be because children are better behaved and can concentrate better when they get enough exercise, or because physical activity improves blood flow to the brain and boosts mood, the researchers wrote.
"There's obviously the long-term links between physical activity and health," said Sandy Slater, who has studied recess and physical education at the University of Illinois at Chicago but wasn't involved in the latest study.
"But this is another reason to try to continue to keep some dedicated amount of time for physical education or recess or some other types of physical activity in the school day."
Recent research has suggested that many U.S. children are not getting the recommended amount of physical education and recess endorsed by the American Heart Association, which includes two and a half hours of physical education a week and 20 minutes of recess every day.

Fifty-nine members of the reliability and maintenance community became Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (CMRP) last month when they passed the comprehensive examination given by the SMRP Certifying Organization at the Ninth Annual Conference of the Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals (SMRP).
The examination is designed to validate the examinee's skills and knowledge in five interrelated work processes: Equipment reliability, manufacturing process reliability, work management, business and management, and people.
Individuals who pass the test and agree to abide by certain guidelines for professional conduct become certified and can proudly add the initials CMRP after their names. They have the right to a large measure of personal pride because their proficiency in maintenance and reliability management is at a professional level certified by their peers as represented by SMRPCO.
Because I participated in the development of the examination, I was not eligible to obtain certification by examination. However, through SMRPCO "grandfather" provisions, I can use CMRP in my byline, and I am proud to do so. Not having sat for the examination, my sense of pride is different from those who did. I feel proud to have the privilege of working with SMRPCO in the development of the CMRP process.
In my estimation, the person deserving the greatest sense of pride in CMRP is Brad Peterson, a fellow founding member of SMRP. Without his vision, leadership, sense of purpose, and years of hard work as chairman of the committee, there would be no CMRP. His insistence on rigorous process development and excellence of execution was essential to making CMRP unique in several ways:
I believe SMRPCO's CMRP is a profession milestone in which all present and future participants can take pride. MT

The Jan. 13 story "Evolve Media Taps Ex-Hearst Exec As CRO" that ran in Media Daily News incorrectly reported that Evolve Media sold SheKnows.com in late 2013. The site was sold
in December 2012. Also, Evolve Media launched its INgage product in December 2012, not December 2013.

In recent months, Mayy el Sheikh, a 24-year-old Egyptian reporter and researcher for the Cairo bureau of The New York Times, has written about Egypt's political transition for The Lede. Here she describes her own family's and friends' experiences after the first round of the presidential election this month.
My grandmother stood in the balcony weeping. She was praying for Hamdeen Sabahi, a Nasserite socialist, to make it to the runoff in Egypt's first competitive presidential election. She called my mother a traitor to the blood of the martyrs because she voted for Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, a liberal Islamist.
Blogging Egypt's first competitive presidential election.The Egyptian Election
My mother, in turn, leveled the same accusation at my brother for voting Sabahi instead of Aboul Fotouh. And my grandfather gave clear instructions to his four children, my father and my aunts, all of whom are older than 45: they must all vote for Mohamed Morsi, the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist movement that already dominated Parliament. "I'm your father," he told them. "I'm still alive, and I'm ordering you and you must obey." Read more…

Flashbacks Kara Stanton |
" | I knew you wouldn't follow orders, John. Just like in Ordos, you lost your nerve. | " |
— Kara Stanton |
"Dead Reckoning" is the 13th episode of season 2, and the 36th produced hour of Person of Interest. It originally aired on January 31, 2013
Reese is abducted by an old acquaintance planning a massive act of cyber-warfare that could lead to Reese's death and an attack on The Machine.
Episode NotesEdit
- Dead reckoning is a technique of orienting a map without using a compass, by looking at the surrounding environment. It also refers to predictive calculation based on inference and guesswork.
- This episode mentioned malware software known as Stuxnet and Flame, respectively. Malware is a potentially unwanted program (PUP), whose purpose is to either control computing equipment for nefarious ends, or to destroy (or steal data). Stuxnet and Flame, two of the best known PUPs share some similarities:
- a) the infection of computer systems seems to be highly concentrated in the Middle East and North Africa, especially Iran.
- b) the nature of the source code is so sophisticated and well-coordinated that it likely was created and conducted with "nation-state support".
- c) the programs share some similarities to one another with respect to some of the modules of their respective source code itself, which suggests common point of origin.
Production NotesEdit
- Actor John Nolan who portrays Greer is the uncle of showrunner Jonathan Nolan.
Bloopers and Continuity ErrorsEdit
- When in the SCIF, Reese points out that there is no cellphone reception (thus Stanton cannot listen in on them) while close-ups of his phone show two bars of mobile network reception and full wi-fi.
- The phone model on Reese's bomb vest changes a few times: on the bus and when Finch opens Reese's shirt to access the vest it's what looks like an Android phone; later inside the SCIF and what Finch actually unlocks on the rooftop is an iPhone.
- The three books that compose Stanton's Social Security Number appear to be fictitious. It is likely that the titles were created with the overall theme of the episode in mind. The book titles are:
- "Debugging the Mind: A Guide to Information Ethics" by Pamela Hall
- "Historical Views of the Future"
- "Purple Mountain Rhapsodies - A History of American Music" by Corazon
- Chinese TV usually doesn't have English captions. Instead, most shows are aired with Chinese captions for viewers who don't understand Mandarin Chinese very well.
White squares on Greer and Stanton. |
- According to her death certificate, Stanton died on December 23, 2010 5:10AM.
- Both Greer and Stanton were assigned a white square by the Machine indicating that they are not aware of its existence. Stanton's square changes to red when she informs Greer about the completion of her assignment meaning that the Machine categorizes her as a threat to itself or to Finch.
Kara Stanton's service record. |
Military terminologyEdit
- Abbreviations/acronyms used in Kara Stanton's Department of Defense (DoD) Service Record:
- CAPT = Captain
- DOR = Date of Rank
- PMOS = Primary Military Occupational Specialty
- BILMOS = Billet Military Occupational Specialty
- XO = Executive Officer
- CI = Counter Intelligence
- HUMINT = Human-gathered Intelligence
National Security Agency Defense Services Facility 203.F12 (or NSA DSF for short). |
- MOS is followed by a code that identifies the soldier's rank and specific occupation.
- The date formats used in the armed services differ from civilian life, where it would be month, followed by day and year. Military dates appear year (in full form, not just the last two digits), followed by the month and day.

An open-cast rare earth mine in Inner Mongolia. China produces more than 90% of the world's supply of the vital minerals. (File photo/CFP)
Japanese surveyors have announced the discovery of high concentrations of rare earth metals under the sea bed around the country's easternmost island, Minami-Torishima or Marcus Island, reports our sister newspaper China Times. The small island is located nearly 2,000 kilometers southeast of Tokyo.
The country's Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology and the University of Tokyo found the concentration of the minerals is ten times higher than the reserves in China, which is by far the world's largest supplier of the rare earth materials used in the production of hi-tech electronics as well as advanced medical technology and advanced weapons systems. The reserves should be sufficient to meet demand for over 200 years, the research team said.
The team found the concentration of rare earth metals reaches 6,500 parts per million, compared to the 500-1,000 ppm for China.
The minerals are spread around the ocean floor under more than 5,000 meters of water, according to the team. Japan has been seeking to avoid an over-reliance on China for imports, as supply can be affected by the often stormy diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Experts have expressed concerns however as to whether the costs of exploiting the discovery are viable, according to Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

I'm working on planning a short trip (max 14 days) that will focus on Israel, Jordan, with a side trip to Mt Sinai and St Catherine's Monestery in Egypt. Could you please recommend a good company I could work with to create a custom tour? I think custom is best as I have no patients with large groups or waiting around for shopping stops. Also the large operators (e.g. Globus) are not very budget friendly.
About us - I am 35 and will be traveling with my father who is 73. We are both fit and active and like to see interesting things. He will be arriving from Canada and I will be coming from Morocco. We are both very experienced travelers who are more interested in seeing and experiencing more than having a luxury hotel to stay in.
I want to see the typical highlights but the side part to Egypt seems to be something I can't find to add onto standard trips.
Thank you
Tour Agent - Egypt, Israel, Jordan

Hi Matrexx. We used Embah Safaris http://www.embah.com/ when we travelled in Mt. Sinai. For the other countries, we booked transport through our hotels, but did most of the trip on our own. The area is easy to navigate and didn't require a ton of advance planning like other countries. Sounds like a great trip. Have fun!

Feed4JUnit makes it easy to write parameterized tests for the JUnit framework and feed them with predefined or randomly generated test data: test case data can be read from Excel or CSV files, databases, or custom data sources, and equivalence class tests can be defined easily. Setup is based on Java annotations and is easy to learn, apply, and maintain. Annotations defined in the "Bean Validation" JSR 303, Java 7, and Benerator are automatically recognized and generated smoke test data will match the constraints. By connecting to Benerator, you can configure generation of complex valid and invalid data sets.
