SPOKANE, Wash. – Three interceptions by Terrance Sanders along with five touchdown grabs by Adron Tennell helped propel the Shock to a 65-47 win over the Philadelphia Soul Friday night.
Spokane drove down the field on the opening drive and Kyle Rowley hit Tennell for a 13-yard touchdown.
On the ensuing drive, Sanders picked off Soul Quarterback Dan Randabaugh on the first play and returned it 32 yards to the Philadelphia 3. An illegal block penalty moved the ball to the PHI 12. A holding penalty moved the ball back to the 22 and following an incomplete pass, Rowley connected with Tennell for a touchdown again.
Sanders picked off another pass on the Soul's next drive, this one denying a touchdown as the pass was thrown into the corner of the end zone. Once again the offense capitalized off the turnover on a Rowley to Tennell touchdown pass, this one a three-yarder to put Spokane up 21-0 at the end of the first quarter.
The Soul got on the board on the next drive on a Tiger Jones nine-yard touchdown grab from Randabaugh.
Sanders took the ensuing kickoff 36 yards to the Philadelphia 22. After two incompletions, Rowley hit Brandon Thompkins for a 15-yard pass to the seven-yard line and was roughed on the play, moving the ball half the distance to the goal. Another penalty by the Soul, this one a pass interference, moved the ball to the two yard line. Thompkins ran it in for a score on the next play.
Philadelphia responded with an 18-yard touchdown run by Derrick Ross to make the score 28-14.
On the next drive Spokane used a mix of penalties on the Soul along with three grabs of over 10 yards by Tennell, the third one being 14 yards for a touchdown. The Shock caught the Soul off guard and recovered a surprise onside kick. Kenny Spencer hit a field goal to end the half with Spokane up 37-14.
Sanders got back to work once again on the opening Philadelphia drive, intercepting his third pass of the game and taking it to the house for a 42-yard touchdown.
The Soul's struggles continued as they fumbled the ensuing kickoff and it was recovered by Charles Ealy. Philadelphia recovered quickly however with Keon Perry intercepting Rowley on the first play. The Soul took the ball down the field and after a 33-yard pass to Emery Sammons, Randabaugh hit Jones for an eight-yard touchdown.
Tennell scored yet another touchdown on the ensuing drive for the Shock, this one a four-yard reception.
Philadelphia's next drive included four catches by Sammons, the fourth being a score on a two-yard reception. They recovered the onside kick and scored again in two plays as Jones caught a 27-yard touchdown but the extra point was missed. Another recovered onside kick gave the Soul the ball at the Spokane 12, which after a penalty Philadelphia took into the end zone a play later on a 24-yard score by Jones. They attempted a two-point conversion, but failed making it a ten point game 51-41.
The Shock managed to recover the ensuing onside kick and answered back with a 4-yard touchdown run by Thompkins to make the score 58-41.
Philadelphia took the ball down to the three yard-line, but Jones fumbled the ball and Paul Stephens scooped it up and returned it 29 yards to the PHI 14. Rowley tucked it in for a one-yard rushing touchdown to put the Shock ahead 65-41.
The Soul salvaged a touchdown on a Jeff Hughley 26-yard catch with 52 seconds to play but missed the two-point conversion.
Spokane recovered the onside kick and were a couple inches from running it in again as Rowley was stopped short of the end zone on fourth down. The Soul ran out the clock on the next play to give the Shock the win 65-47.
Rowley totaled up 227 passing yards with five touchdowns and one interception along with a rushing touchdown as well. Tennell found the end zone five times as he caught the ball 11 times for 116 yards. Thompkins added eight catches for 88 yards as well as two rushing touchdowns. Sanders gave an encore to his Defensive Player of the week award from last week with another impressive performance picking off Randabaugh three times and running the third one back for a 42-yard score.
Randabaugh threw for 360 yards with six touchdowns, but his three interceptions helped Spokane increase the score margin. Jones had 12 grabs for 164 yards and four touchdowns. Sammons had 10 receptions for 120 yards and one touchdown.
Philadelphia (7-3) was one of the top-ranked teams going into the game.
The Shock (5-4), who have now won four of their last five games, will head to Iowa next week to face the Barnstormers on May 25th at 5:05 p.m.

How can I have an ORDER BY with LEFT JOIN?
My tables and their fields:
1.) client (fields: clientID, clientName)
2.) conversation (fields: conversationClientID, conversationText, conversationTimestamp)
My query:
SELECT * FROM client LEFT JOIN conversation ON (conversationClientID = clientID) WHERE clientType = 'prospect' GROUP BY clientID ORDER BY clientName, conversationTimestamp DESC
I want all my clients on a list on alphabetic order and with that client I only want the last call to be shown.
With my query, the list of clients is ok, but it shows the first conversation of the client and not the last according to the timestamp. How can I achieve this?

to answer the question posed in your thread title, it's easy, because the FROM clause (where the LEFT OUTER JOIN is) and the ORDER BY clause are completely unrelated (except insofar as you can't sort by columns that you didn't retrieve from the tables in the FROM clause)
to answer the question posed in the text of your post, you need a subquery to identify which of the conversations is the latest one for each client
check out the subquery here first, then see how it's used to bring in the associated data --Code:
SELECT client.clientID , client.clientName , conversation.conversationTimestamp , conversation.conversationText FROM client LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT conversationClientID , MAX(conversationTimestamp) AS latest FROM conversation GROUP BY conversationClientID ) AS conv ON conv.conversationClientID = client.clientID LEFT OUTER JOIN conversation ON conversation.conversationClientID = conv.conversationClientID AND conversation.conversationTimestamp = conv.latest WHERE client.clientType = 'prospect' ORDER BY clientNamerudy.ca | @rudydotca

Seasoned magician shares love for astonishment
A magician stunned and dumbfounded eager audience members with his mystifying feats in a packed Ice Auditorium on Sept. 1. Magician Nate Staniforth opened his show with footage of him performing magic tricks on students in Dillin Hall earlier in the day.
Sophomore Haydn Nason, one of the students featured in the clip, experienced a card trick firsthand.
"Dude, it was magic," Nason said. "Even though my friend figured out how [Staniforth] did the trick, it was still magic."
Staniforth confounded a much larger group that night when he performed a trick that involved every audience member calling someone from a cell phone. The first three audience members to get a person on the line were instructed to stand. Then, the rest of the audience voted on which person to use for the trick.
The audience voted for sophomore Talia Cowan, who had called her mother, Barbara. Cowan asked her mom to think of a playing card. Barbara chose the eight of clubs. Before the show, Staniforth had chosen a card and returned it to the deck upside down. After Cowan got off the phone with her mother, Staniforth brought her onstage and had her pull out the card that he had chosen earlier. It
was the eight of clubs; her mother's card.
"He was positively impressive and entertaining," sophomore Claudia Ramirez said.
The next trick Staniforth performed required several volunteers. One volunteer sat onstage with a secret object, given to her by Staniforth, so no one would see it. Staniforth then asked each audience member to take out a dollar bill. He picked a student's bill at random and had the audience memorize the serial number on the bill: 34296866. Two other audience members initialed the bill and tore off a corner of it. The magician put the rest of the bill in an envelope, sealed it and set it on fire. Once the flames died, he asked the first volunteer to open her hands and reveal the object that she had been holding the entire time. It was a dollar bill with the same serial number, initials and torn corner that fit perfectly together with the missing piece.
"During my tour I stopped in Georgia for a show, and a guy in the audience called me the devil," Staniforth said.
Staniforth has been practicing magic tricks since he was 8 years old. At the age of 10, he read a book about Harry Houdini and one
of his famous magical feats. Since then, he has practiced and performed the trick, which turned out to be his next act.
"If you are young and impressionable, do not try this yourself; if you are old and impressionable, there is nothing I can do for you," Staniforth said about the trick.
He pulled out a spool of thread and swallowed a line of it. Next, he produced a packet of needles from his pocket. Once the audience was satisfied that they were sharp, he swallowed the needles to the sound of people's horrified gasps.
Audience members in the front row checked his mouth to prove that he swallowed the needles. Then he regurgitated the thread.
Astonishingly, all of the needles he swallowed were threaded on the line of string. "If astonishment could come in a pill form, I would be an astonishment junkie," Staniforth said.
The next trick Staniforth performed was one he had been working on since high school. He had a volunteer stand on the right side of the stage and another on the left, so they were nowhere near each other. He gave one student the four of spades from a deck of cards.
To prove that there wasn't a duplicate card, he had her sign it, fold it up and hold it tightly in her hands. Then, he gave the other student the king of diamonds and had him do the same thing. Staniforth asked the first volunteer to imagine her card changing into the other
volunteer's card. When she opened her hands, the other volunteer's card, signature and all emerged, and vice versa.
Staniforth ended the night with an act that required everyone in the audience to write down a color, a number between one and 100 and a moderately well-known city on a note card. To select an audience member's card to use for the trick, he crumpled up a poster and tossed it into the audience. The student who caught it on the third toss was chosen. On his card, he had written "orange," "43" and "Detroit."
Staniforth then had a different audience member come onstage and check a phone book he had taken from a California hotel to make sure it was not rigged. The volunteer closed her eyes, ran her finger down a residential page and stopped on a random phone number. Staniforth wrote the phone number down and instructed another volunteer, junior Andrew Carpenter, to prank call the number on speakerphone. He asked the volunteer to say that he was a psychology student from Linfield College doing an experiment for a class.
Carpenter called the number and a man answered, explaining that the people Carpenter asked for had recently moved. But he agreed to do the experiment himself. When asked a color, he said orange. When asked a number he said 16 — not the volunteer's number. But, when asked to pick a city, the man no longer wanted to participate and said that if he wanted to get a hold of the last owners, they had moved to Detroit — the volunteer's city.

Never mind spending hours in the gym!
According to a study in The American College of Sports Medicine Health and Fitness Journal, seven minutes of a particular high intensity workout is all it takes to transform your body.
"High intensive training has been proven to be beneficial for people because on a molecular level, there are some changes that happen,"said Roger Bachour, a physical therapist and owner of Accelerated Physical Therapy in Greenville.
So this is how the workout works: you do 12 exercises for 30 seconds each at the highest level of intensity you can and rest for 10 seconds in between. All you need is a chair for "step ups" and a wall for "wall sits" the rest is just you against your own body weight.
Here is a list of exercises from The American College of Sports Medicine's Health and Fitness Journal:
1. Jumping jacks
2. Wall sit
3. Push-up
4. Abdominal crunch
5. Step-up onto chair
6. Squat
7. Triceps dip on chair
8. Plank Core
9. High knees/running in place
10. Lunge
11. Push-up and rotation
12. Side plank Core
"It needs to be uncomfortable. They say on a scale of one to ten you should be on a level eight at a minimum in order to reap the benefits,"said Bachour.
While Bachour says the seven minute workout can be effective, he cautions against jumping into any workout routine without consulting a physician or trainer.
"There are definitely drawbacks in terms of potential injuries. If someone hasn't worked out in a long time and all of the sudden starts doing high impact exercises, it could be dangerous to their joints."

Game, Floating Ball
Email to a Friend
Floating Ball Game - Demonstrates Bernoulli's Principle - Law of Pressure DifferentialAnother classic science toy that is not only fun but teaches real scientific concepts. Made of wood. Comes with two styrofoam balls. See how long you can make the ball float. Challenge family and friends. Great party favor or holiday gift.The floating ball game is an excellent example of "Bernoulli's Principle". As air is forced around the ball it must move faster in order to "catch up" on the other side. The result is a decrease in air pressure around the ball that in turn keeps the ball in place. The force is strong enough to resist other forces acting on the ball such as a subtle tap from your finger. The force can also overcome gravity if the flow of air is strong enough. This can be demonstrated by turning the base of the pipe 15-20 degrees - the ball will remain suspended in the air flow even though it is not directly above it.
Give it a try and see what you can discover!Warning: Choking Hazard -Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years. /!\ Warning: Choking Hazard -This toy is a small ball. Not for children under 3 years.

The Rock of Gibraltar rises nearly 1400 feet above sea level and is thought by many to be one of the legendary pillars of Hercules. Overlooking the entrance to the Mediterranean, this charming destination with its pillar boxes and pubs, retains its staunchly British character.
You will begin with a drive towards the runway of the airfield to reach the British/Spanish frontier and from here, it's on to the southernmost point of Gibraltar, Europa Point. Along the way you will pass scenic Catalan Bay which was once a quaint fishing village where Genoese traders settled to escape the Napoleonic Wars. You will also see the only Trinity Lighthouse outside Great Britain. Your first stop will be the unique vantage point of Europa Point where you will have the chance to view the busiest shipping lane in the world and where the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean mingle between two continents. On clear days, you can even see the African Continent in the distance.
Continuing on, you will make your way to the upper Rock area which has been designated a Nature Reserve, and St. Michael's Cave, with it's strangely shaped stalagmites and stalactites that have attracted visitors since Roman times. From here it's on to the home of Gibraltar's most respected residents, the Barbary Apes, where you will have an opportunity to photograph these playful macaques. Visitors are cautioned that these wild apes are not to be touched no matter how friendly they may seem.
Your return to the pier takes you past the Moorish Castle and the tower of Homage that still bears the scars of long-ago fought battles. Entering the town, a stop is made at the Main Street where guests may disembark the coach and remain in town, or continue on to the pier. Those guests who elect to stay in town are responsible for making their own way back to the ship.
Please note: This tour is available to wheelchair guests and is walking is mainly at the guests' discretion. While there are steps to negotiate within St. Michael's Cave (approx.75 steps), the cave can be viewed from the exit. Casual clothes, comfortable flat walking shoes, a hat and sunglasses are suggested. Guests who elect to stay in town will be responsible for making their own way back to the pier.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

A bumblebee is any member of the bee genus Bombus, in the family Apidae. There are over 250 known species,[1] existing primarily in the Northern Hemisphere although they also occur in South America. They have been introduced to New Zealand and the Australian state of Tasmania.
Bumblebees are social insects that are characterised by black and yellow body hairs, often in bands. However, some species have orange or red on their bodies, or may be entirely black.[2] Another obvious (but not unique) characteristic is the soft nature of the hair (long, branched setae), called pile, that covers their entire body, making them appear and feel fuzzy. They are best distinguished from similarly large, fuzzy bees by the form of the female hind leg, which is modified to form a corbicula: a shiny concave surface that is bare, but surrounded by a fringe of hairs used to transport pollen (in similar bees, the hind leg is completely hairy, and pollen grains are wedged into the hairs for transport).
Like their relatives the honey bees, bumblebees feed on nectar and gather pollen to feed their young.
The blood or hemolymph, as in other arthropods, is carried in an open circulatory system.[3] The body organs, "heart" (dorsal aorta), muscles, etc. are surrounded in a reservoir of blood, and pulsing contractions of the tube-like dorsal aorta create a weak circulatory force.
In fertilised queens the ovaries are activated when the queen lays her egg. It passes along the oviduct to the vagina. In the vagina there is a chamber called the spermatheca. This is where the queen stores sperm from her mating. The queen, depending on need, may allow her egg to be fertilised. Non-fertilised eggs become males, and only fertilised eggs grow into females and queens.
As in all animals, hormones play a significant role in the growth and development of the bumblebee. The hormones that stimulate the development of the ovaries are suppressed in female worker bees, while the queen remains dominant. Salivary glands in the head secrete saliva, which mixes with the nectar and pollen. Saliva is also mixed into the nest materials to soften them. The body fat is a nutritional store; before hibernation, queens eat as much as they can to enlarge their fat body, and the fat in the cells is used up during hibernation.
Like all bee tongues, the bumblebee tongue (the proboscis) is a long hairy structure that extends from a sheath-like modified maxilla. The primary action of the tongue is lapping, i.e. repeated dipping of the tongue into liquid.[4] During lapping, nectar is drawn up the proboscis by capillary action. When at rest or flying, the proboscis is kept folded under the head. The exoskeleton of the abdomen is divided into plates called dorsal tergites and ventral sternites. Wax is secreted from glands on the sternites.
The brightly coloured pile of the bumblebee is a form of aposematic signal. Depending on the species and morph, these colours can range from entirely black, to bright yellow, red, orange, white, and pink. Thick pile can also act as insulation to keep the bee warm in cold weather. Further, when flying, a bee builds up an electrostatic charge, and as flowers are usually well grounded, pollen is attracted to the bee's pile when it lands. When a pollen-covered bee enters a flower, the charged pollen is preferentially attracted to the stigma because it is better grounded than the other parts of the flower.
Bumblebees do not have ears; however, they can feel the vibrations of sounds through nearby materials.
Bumblebees are typically found in higher latitudes and/or high altitudes, though exceptions exist (there are a few lowland tropical species).[5] A few species (Bombus polaris and B. alpinus) range into very cold climates where other bees might not be found; B. polaris can be found in northern Ellesmere Island—the northernmost occurrence of any eusocial insect—along with its parasite, B. hyperboreus.[6] One reason for this is that bumblebees can regulate their body temperature, via solar radiation, internal mechanisms of "shivering" and radiative cooling from the abdomen (called heterothermy). Other bees have similar physiology, but the mechanisms have been best studied in bumblebees.[7] They adapt to higher elevations by extending their wing stroke amplitude.[8]
Bumblebees form colonies, which are usually much less extensive than those of honey bees. This is due to a number of factors including the small physical size of the nest cavity, the responsibility of a single female for the initial construction and reproduction that happens within the nest, and the restriction of the colony to a single season (in most species). Often, mature bumblebee nests will hold fewer than 50 individuals. Bumblebee nests may be found within tunnels in the ground made by other animals, or in tussock grass as opposed to Carpenter Bees that burrow into wood. Bumblebees sometimes construct a wax canopy ("involucrum") over the top of their nest for protection and insulation. Bumblebees do not often preserve their nests through the winter, though some tropical species live in their nests for several years (and their colonies can grow quite large, depending on the size of the nest cavity). In temperate species, the last generation of summer includes a number of queens who overwinter separately in protected spots. The queens can live up to one year, possibly longer in tropical species.
Bumblebee nests are first constructed by over-wintered queens in the spring (in temperate areas). Upon emerging from hibernation, the queen collects pollen and nectar from flowers and searches for a suitable nest site. The characteristics of the nest site vary among bumblebee species, with some species preferring to nest in underground holes and others in tussock grass or directly on the ground. Once the queen finds a site, she prepares wax pots to store food, and wax cells to lay eggs in. These eggs then hatch into larvae, which cause the wax cells to expand isometrically into a clump of brood cells.
To develop, these larvae must be fed both nectar for carbohydrates and pollen for protein. Bumblebees feed nectar to the larvae by chewing a small hole in the brood cell into which they regurgitate nectar. Larvae are fed pollen in one of two ways, depending on the bumblebee species. So-called "pocket-maker" bumblebees create pockets of pollen at the base of the brood-cell clump that the larvae feed themselves from. Conversely, "pollen-storers" store pollen in separate wax pots and feed it to the larvae in the same fashion as nectar.[9] Bumblebees are incapable of trophallaxis (direct transfer of food from one bee to another).
With proper care, the larvae progress through four instars, becoming successively larger with each moult. At the end of the fourth instar, the larvae spin silk cocoons under the wax covering the brood cells, changing them into pupal cells. The larvae then undergo an intense period of cellular growth and differentiation and become pupae. These pupae then develop into adult bees, and chew their way out of the silk cocoon. When adult bumblebees first emerge from their cocoons, the hairs on their body are not yet fully pigmented and are a greyish-white colour. The bees are referred to as "callow" during this time, and they will not leave the colony for at least 24 hours. The entire process from egg to adult bee can take as long as five weeks, depending on the species and the environmental conditions.
After the emergence of the first or second group of workers, workers take over the task of foraging and the queen spends most of her time laying eggs and caring for larvae. The colony grows progressively larger and at some point will begin to produce males and new queens. The point at which this occurs varies among species and is heavily dependent on resource availability and environmental factors. Unlike the workers of more advanced social insects, bumblebee workers are not physically reproductively sterile and can lay haploid eggs that develop into viable male bumblebees. Only fertilised queens can lay diploid eggs that mature into workers and new queens.
Early in the colony cycle, the queen bumblebee compensates for potential reproductive competition from workers by suppressing their egg-laying by way of physical aggression and pheromonal signals.[10] Thus, the queen will usually be the mother of all of the first males laid. Workers eventually begin to lay male eggs later in the season when the queen's ability to suppress their reproduction diminishes.[11] The reproductive competition between workers and the queen is one reason that bumblebees are considered "primitively eusocial".
New queens and males leave the colony after maturation. Males in particular are forcibly driven out by the workers. Away from the colony, the new queens and males live off nectar and pollen and spend the night on flowers or in holes. The queens are eventually mated (often more than once) and search for a suitable location for diapause (dormancy).
Bumblebees generally visit flowers that exhibit the bee pollination syndrome. They can visit patches of flowers up to 1–2 kilometres from their colony.[12] Bumblebees will also tend to visit the same patches of flowers every day, as long as they continue to find nectar and pollen,[13] a habit known as pollinator or flower constancy. While foraging, bumblebees can reach ground speeds of up to 15 metres per second (54 km/h).[14]
Experiments have shown that bumblebees use a combination of colour and spatial relationships to learn which flowers to forage from.[15] Bumblebees can also detect both the presence and the pattern of electric fields on flowers, which occur due to the positive static charges that are generated when bees fly through the air (see Atmospheric electricity), and take a while to leak away into the ground. They use this information to find out if a flower has been recently visited by another bee.[16] After arriving at a flower, they extract nectar using their long tongue ("glossa") and store it in their crop. Many species of bumblebee also exhibit what is known as "nectar robbing": instead of inserting the mouthparts into the flower normally, these bees bite directly through the base of the corolla to extract nectar, avoiding pollen transfer.[17] These bees obtain pollen from other species of flowers that they "legitimately" visit.
Pollen is removed from flowers deliberately or incidentally by bumblebees. Incidental removal occurs when bumblebees come in contact with the anthers of a flower while collecting nectar. The bumblebee's body hairs receive a dusting of pollen from the anthers, which is then groomed into the corbicula ("pollen basket"). Bumblebees are also capable of buzz pollination.
In at least a few species, once a bumblebee has visited a flower, it leaves a scent mark on the flower. This scent mark deters visitation of the flower by other bumblebees until the scent degrades.[18] It has been shown that this scent mark is a general chemical bouquet that bumblebees leave behind in different locations (e.g. nest, neutral, and food sites),[19] and they learn to use this bouquet to identify both rewarding and unrewarding flowers.[20] In addition, bumblebees rely on this chemical bouquet more when the flower has a high handling time (i.e. it takes a longer time for the bee to find the nectar).[21]
Once they have collected nectar and pollen, bumblebees return to the nest and deposit the harvested nectar and pollen into brood cells, or into wax cells for storage. Unlike honey bees, bumblebees only store a few days' worth of food and so are much more vulnerable to food shortages.[22]
Bumblebees of the subgenus Psithyrus (known as cuckoo bumblebees, and formerly considered a separate genus) are a lineage that live parasitically in the colonies of other bumblebees and have lost the ability to collect pollen. Before finding and invading a host colony, a Psithyrus female (there is no caste system in these species) will feed directly from flowers. Once she has infiltrated a host colony, the Psithyrus female will kill or subdue the queen of that colony and forcibly (using pheromones and/or physical attacks) "enslave" the workers of that colony to feed her and her young.[23] The female Psithyrus also has a number of morphological adaptations, such as larger mandibles and a larger venom sac that increase her chances of taking over a nest.[24] Upon hatching, the male and female Psithyrus disperse and mate. Like non-parasitic bumblebee queens, female Psithyrus find suitable locations to spend the winter and enter diapause upon being mated.
In temperate zone species, in the autumn, young queens ("gynes") mate with males (drones) and diapause during the winter in a sheltered area, whether in the ground or in a man-made structure. In the early spring, the queen comes out of diapause and finds a suitable place to create her colony. Then she builds wax cells in which to lay her fertilised eggs from the previous winter. The eggs that hatch develop into female workers, and in time the queen populates the colony, with workers feeding the young and performing other duties similar to honey bee workers. New reproductives are produced in autumn, and the queen and workers die, as do the males.
Queen and worker bumblebees can sting. Unlike a honey bee's stinger, a bumblebee's stinger lacks barbs, so it can sting repeatedly without injuring itself.[25][26] Bumblebee species are not normally aggressive, but will sting in defence of their nest, or if harmed. Female cuckoo bumblebees will aggressively attack host colony members, and sting the host queen, but will ignore other animals (e.g. humans) unless disturbed.
Bumblebees are important pollinators of both crops and wildflowers.
In his first edition (1859) of On the Origin of Species,[27] Charles Darwin wrote of "humble-bees" (a now-disused term for bumblebees; see the etymology section below in this article for more information) and their interactions with other species:
plants and animals, most remote in the scale of nature, are bound together by a web of complex relations. [...] I have [...] reason to believe that humble-bees are indispensable to the fertilisation of the heartsease (Viola tricolor), for other bees do not visit this flower. From experiments which I have tried, I have found that the visits of bees, if not indispensable, are at least highly beneficial to the fertilisation of our clovers; but humble-bees alone visit the common red clover (Trifolium pratense), as other bees cannot reach the nectar. Hence I have very little doubt, that if the whole genus of humble-bees became extinct or very rare in England, the heartsease and red clover would become very rare, or wholly disappear. The number of humble-bees in any district depends in a great degree on the number of field-mice, which destroy their combs and nests; and Mr. H. Newman, who has long attended to the habits of humble-bees, believes that 'more than two thirds of them are thus destroyed all over England.' Now the number of mice is largely dependent, as every one knows, on the number of cats; and Mr. Newman says, 'Near villages and small towns I have found the nests of humble-bees more numerous than elsewhere, which I attribute to the number of cats that destroy the mice.' Hence it is quite credible that the presence of a feline animal in large numbers in a district might determine, through the intervention first of mice and then of bees, the frequency of certain flowers in that district!
Bumblebees are increasingly cultured for agricultural use as pollinators because they can pollinate plant species that other pollinators cannot by using a technique known as buzz pollination. For example, bumblebee colonies are often placed in greenhouse tomato production, because the frequency of buzzing that a bumblebee exhibits effectively releases tomato pollen.[28]
The agricultural use of bumblebees is limited to pollination. Because bumblebees do not overwinter the entire colony, they are not obliged to stockpile honey, and are therefore not useful as honey producers.
There are some concerns about the impact of the international trade in mass-produced bumblebee colonies. Evidence from Japan[29] and South America[30] indicates that bumblebees can escape and naturalise in new environments, causing damage to native pollinators. In addition, there is mounting evidence that mass-produced bumblebees may also carry diseases, harmful to wild bumblebees[31][32] and honeybees.[32]
Bumblebee species are declining in Europe, North America, and Asia due to a number of factors, including land-use change that reduces bumblebee food plants. In North America pathogens are possibly having a stronger negative effect especially for Bombuss. str. in North America. [33] Bumblebees are in danger in many developed countries due to habitat destruction and collateral pesticide damage. In a report published 16 January 2013, the European Food Safety Authority announced their research findings that three pesticides (clothianidine, imidaclopride et thiaméthoxame), presented a high risk for bees.[34] In Britain, until relatively recently, 19 species of native true bumblebee were recognised along with six species of cuckoo bumblebees.[35][citation needed] Of these, three have been extirpated,[36][37] eight are in serious decline, and only six remain widespread.[38] Similar declines in bumblebees have been reported in Ireland, with 4 species being designated endangered, and another two species considered vulnerable to extinction.[39] A decline in bumblebee numbers could cause large-scale changes to the countryside, resulting from inadequate pollination of certain plants. The world's first bumblebee sanctuary was established at Vane Farm in the Loch Leven National Nature Reserve in Scotland in 2008.[40]
Some bumblebees native to North America are also vanishing, such as Bombus terricola, Bombus affinis and Bombus occidentalis, with one, Bombus franklini, that may even be extinct.[41]
In 2011 London's Natural History Museum led the setting up of an International Union for the Conservation of Nature Bumblebee Specialist Group, chaired by Dr. Paul H. Williams,[42] to assess the threat status of bumblebee species worldwide using Red List criteria.[43]
According to 20th century folklore, the laws of aerodynamics prove that the bumblebee should be incapable of flight, as it does not have the capacity (in terms of wing size or beats per second) to achieve flight with the degree of wing loading necessary. The origin of this claim has been difficult to pin down with any certainty. John McMasters recounted an anecdote about an unnamed Swiss aerodynamicist at a dinner party who performed some rough calculations and concluded, presumably in jest, that according to the equations, bumblebees cannot fly.[45] In later years McMasters has backed away from this origin, suggesting that there could be multiple sources, and that the earliest he has found was a reference in the 1934 book Le vol des insectes by French entomologist Antoine Magnan (1881–1938); they had applied the equations of air resistance to insects and found that their flight was impossible, but that "One shouldn't be surprised that the results of the calculations don't square with reality".[46]
The following passage appears in the introduction to Le Vol des Insectes:
Tout d'abord poussé par ce qui se fait en aviation, j'ai appliqué aux insectes les lois de la résistance de l'air, et je suis arrivé avec M. Sainte-Laguë à cette conclusion que leur vol est impossible.
This translates to:
First prompted by what is done in aviation, I applied the laws of air resistance to insects, and I arrived, with Mr. Sainte-Laguë, at this conclusion that their flight is impossible.
Magnan refers to his assistant André Sainte-Laguë.[47]
Some credit physicist Ludwig Prandtl (1875–1953) of the University of Göttingen in Germany with popularizing the idea. Others say it was Swiss gas dynamicist Jacob Ackeret (1898–1981) who did the calculations.[48]
The calculations that purported to show that bumblebees cannot fly are based upon a simplified linear treatment of oscillating aerofoils. The method assumes small amplitude oscillations without flow separation. This ignores the effect of dynamic stall (an airflow separation inducing a large vortex above the wing) which briefly produces several times the lift of the aerofoil in regular flight. More sophisticated aerodynamic analysis shows that the bumblebee can fly because its wings encounter dynamic stall in every oscillation cycle.[49]
Additionally, John Maynard Smith, a noted biologist with a strong background in aeronautics, has pointed out that bumblebees would not be expected to sustain flight, as they would need to generate too much power given their tiny wing area. However, in aerodynamics experiments with other insects he found that viscosity at the scale of small insects meant that even their small wings can move a very large volume of air relative to the size, and this reduces the power required to sustain flight by an order of magnitude.[50]
Another description of a bee's wing function is that the wings work similarly to helicopter blades, "reverse-pitch semirotary helicopter blades".
Bees beat their wings approximately 200 times a second. Their thorax muscles do not expand and contract on each nerve firing but rather vibrate like a plucked rubber band. This is efficient, since it lets the system consisting of muscle and wing operate at its resonant frequency, leading to low energy consumption. Further, it is necessary, since nerves cannot fire 200 times per second. These types of muscles are called asynchronous muscles[51] and are often found in insect wings.
One common, yet incorrect, assumption is that the buzzing sound ( listen (help·info)) of bees is caused by the beating of their wings. The sound is actually the result of the bee vibrating its flight muscles, and this can be achieved while the muscles are decoupled from the wings. This is especially pronounced in bumblebees, as they must warm up their bodies considerably to get airborne at low ambient temperatures.[7] Bumblebees have been known to reach an internal thoracic temperature of 30 °C (86 °F) using this method.
For a complete list, see List of world bumblebee species.
The word "bumblebee" is a portmanteau of bumble + bee — "bumble" meaning to hum, buzz, drone or move ineptly or flounderingly.[52] According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), the term bumblebee was first recorded as having been used in the English language in the 1530 work Lesclarcissement by John Palsgrave, "I bomme, as a bombyll bee dothe."[53] However the OED also states that the term humble bee predates it, having first been used in 1450 in Fysshynge wyth Angle, "In Juyll the greshop & the humbylbee in the medow."[54] The latter term was used in A Midsummer Night's Dream (circa 1600) by William Shakespeare, "The honie-bags steale from the humble Bees."[55] In the period prior to World War I the preferred English common name was humble bee, as found in On the Origin of Species (1859) by Charles Darwin (see above in this article for a lengthy quotation), though bumblebee was still in use as well, for example in The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse (1910) by Beatrix Potter, "Suddenly round a corner, she met Babbitty Bumble--"Zizz, Bizz, Bizzz!" said the bumblebee." In the post-World War II era, however, humble bee fell into near-total disuse.[56]

Flight of the Bumblebee performed by the US Army Band

The orchestral interlude Flight of the Bumblebee was composed (circa 1900) by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov to represent the turning of Prince Guidon into a bumblebee so he can fly away to visit his father, Tsar Saltan, in the opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan,[57] although the music is considered to more accurately reflect the flight of a bluebottle than a bumblebee.[58] The music inspired Walt Disney to feature a bumblebee in his 1940 animated musical Fantasia and have it sound as if it were flying in all parts of the theater. This early attempt at "surround sound" was unsuccessful, and the music was excluded from the film's release.[59]
The archaic English colloquialism dumbledor (also used for cockchafers)[60] is the source of the name Albus Dumbledore, a fictional character from the Harry Potter series (1997–2007). J. K. Rowling said the name "seemed to suit the headmaster, because one of his passions is music and I imagined him walking around humming to himself".[61]
The genus name Bombus, assigned by Pierre André Latreille in 1802, is derived from the Latin word for a buzzing or humming sound.[62]

At least he's "honest" about it being...well, fake.
At least he's "honest" about it being...well, fake.
I reported it to Ebay. Every time you see a fake. Report it.
Time for another !
I thought someone from Spyderco had to contract EBay to have it removed? And that we were just supposed to put up the link so they could take care of it?
I don't know, but any ebay user can report a fraudulent item. I figure the more reports from users, the faster they will get shut down.
Time for another !
I think I read on here that EBay doesn't usually listen to average users - as they could just be competitors trying to get someone else's auction shut down. The manufacturers have some special way to get it axed quick.
As a general rule, eBay does not act on claims of counterfeit merchandise from anyone except the manufacturer of the genuine article. However, if someone openly admits in their listing that they're selling a fake, then eBay may very well pull the auction, and possibly even take action against the seller, if it is brought to their attention.

Dead horses beaten, sacred cows tipped, chimeras hunted when time permits.
WTC # 1458 - 1504 - 1508 - Never Forget, Never Forgive!
Reported as well. I don't know if it helps or not, but it's worth trying to shut down the auction.
On the Fence: Tuff, Techno
Latest arrivals: MT19 PSF27 Mule, Des Horn, Dialex Junior
Regardless of the honesty of the eBay vendor, as it's a deliberate counterfeit I think it should ideally be confiscated and destroyed, otherwise sooner or later someone WILL be conned. If that can't be done, eBay should pull the plug on both the item and vendor, otherwise aren't they're profiting from trade in unlawful goods?

FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
I didn't watch the game too closely but looked like Carr got picked on more than Claiborne. Either way, the whole team looks to be pretty poorly coached so like with the Bucs last year it's hard to judge the individual talents of any player when they're not all in sync like that.

"The wind kinda picked up, and the thing ripped and we realized it was starting to sway," said Green. "I grabbed my friend and said run."
"I consider myself fortunate that I got knocked out," said Green. "I didn't have to hear the screams or see the things that other people did."
Green considers herself lucky for another reason.
"I was in the Sugar Pit and the woman just to my left is one who lost their life, so I know I'm blessed to have been where I was," said Green.
Green is going through physical therapy to walk again and still has not returned to working full-time. She's a single mom of two sons and said the mounting medical expenses are making it tough to provide for her family.
Tracy filed for a portion of the State Fair Vicitm Relief Fund. The fund is made up of donations from Hoosiers and people around the world who wanted to help in the aftermath of the August tragedy.
The band Maroon 5 also held a fundraising concert with proceeds going to the fund. It totaled $978,000 and is being divided among victims and their families based mainly on length of hospital stay.
"It's helping me just with household expenses, paying the heating bill which is good because it's just starting to get cold, paying rent," said Green. "I was only the hospital for one night so I was on the lower end, I know there are those who are worse off than I am."
She also said she is grateful for the generous donations to the fund.
"It's appreciated more than you'll ever know," said Green. "When you donate you don't often get to see a face with it, but it's appreciated more than they know. Thank you."
Green and about 100 others are also part of a tort claim against the state of Indiana. That deadline to file has already passed. The state's payout is currently capped at $5 million.

Here is the problem: My cub will crank and idle fine in the first three notches but when I advance the the lever on the steering column it kills the tractor. I can close the choke 1/2 - 3/4 and then I can advance the lever and rev the engine up. The fuel/mixture screw is pretty much all the way in. I am using a small clean auxillary gas tank with an inline filter
Is the problem in the Governer, the carb or somewhere I not thinking? Could it be a spark or timing issue?
This tractor has been sitting outside for years and I'm in the process of getting it running. I would appreciate any suggestions or things to check

One of the nation's largest parades honoring Dr. Martin Luther King steps off today in Tulsa.
The annual tradition began today at 11:00am near downtown.
The parade begins at the corner of John Hope Franklin Boulevard and the aptly-renamed Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue.
It winds through the OSU Tulsa Campus, historic Greenwood district and ends at the gates of ONEOK Field.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Wrestling Insider Newsmagazine today officially named Kyle Dake as the winner of the prestigious Hodge Trophy. The Hodge Trophy, named after Oklahoma University's Dan Hodge, is awarded annually to the nation's best collegiate wrestler. Criteria for the award include (per WIN's website) "a wrestler's record, number of pins, dominance on the mat, past credentials, quality of competition, sportsmanship/citizenship and heart."
I'll apply the award's criteria to Dake:
- Record - Dake was undefeated
- Number of pins- As of March 6, Dake had the second most pins in college wrestling, Dustin Kilgore, national runner up at 197 pounds, was first.
- Dominance on the mat- In the NCAA's dominance ranking, which scores wrestlers based on some combination of advanced statistics which I don't really understand, even though it's probably not very complicated, Dake ranked eighth as of March 6. Only three of the seven ahead of Dake actually were in Hodge consideration
- Past credentials- Dake has enjoyed the greatest career for a college wrestler...EVER.
- Quality of competition- Dake wrestles in the EIWA, college wrestling's second toughest conference, he won the prestigious Southern Scuffle and Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational and he beat David Taylor, last year's Hodge winner, three times. The first time was in the NWCA all star meet which is technically an exhibition but should be considered by the award, the third time was in the national finals.
- Sportsmanship/Citizenship- Not everyone likes Kyle, but I've never heard him described as a bad sport or citizen.
- Heart- I'm not really sure what exactly this is, but if anyone has heart, it is Kyle Dake who intentionally bumped up a weight to face the toughest competitor and to make history.

Here are Salem Patch, we love local food news.
Whether a new restaurant is coming to your community, an old favorite is closing down or a local chef is plating something special - our North Shore Patch sites have been there to cover it.
Below is a look at the restaurant and food stories recently covered by area Patch sites. If you see something that sparks your interest, just click on the headline to read the full story.
Beer and Wine Land at Flying Saucer
Something new has landed at the Flying Saucer Pizza Co.
In addition to gourmet pizza, the Washington Street business recently welcomed beer and wine to its lineup.
Beers selections include: McNeils Dead Eye Double IPA, Peak Organic IPA, Notch BSA Harvest and Clown Shoes Vampire Slayer on draft. Brooklyn lager, Butternut Snapper IPA and gluten-free options are available in a can.
Montepulciano house wine and Mas Le Chevalier Cabernet sauvignon are among the red wine selections and Petite Perriere Sauvignon Blanc, Prosecco are some of the whites.
Winfrey's Fudge and Chocolates Coming to Cabot Street
Winfrey's Fudge & Chocolates was approved for its new location on Cabot Street by a 5-0 vote at the Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting last night.
Winfrey's will replace the former Rice Rental Center.
"We've always felt that Beverly is a promising community," Mark Winfrey told Patch. "We did have a store in Beverly a few years ago and closed it for different reasons. We're excited to be opening another retail store downtown."
The business plans to do "a lot of work" on the building, and Winfrey said they're aiming for a late spring/early summer opening.
Beverly Kids Benefit from New Cherry Farm Ice Cream Flavor
For the month of October, North Beverly Elementary fifth graders will benefit from the sale of Shooting Star ice cream at Cherry Farm Creamery in Danvers.
The Shooting Star flavor, which consists of blue vanilla ice-cream with M&M's and cookie dough, was created by the students two weeks ago, owner Tom Jones said.
While Jones said Cherry Farm usually provides schools with ice-cream during socials, this is the first time a fundraiser will benefit the students.
The ice cream stand will be donating 50 percent of all sales (cones, pints, quarts, sundaes, etc) of this flavor to the school to help the fifth grade class.
Black Cow Eyes November Reopening
Black Cow Tap and Grill plans to reopen in November, according to owner Joe Leone.
The restaurant, on Bay Road in downtown Hamilton, has been closed for renovations since April. The work is designed to make the restaurant lighter and brighter.
Leone said on Tuesday that he plans to "hopefully" reopen in November.
No new seats will be added, but instead rearranged. The entrance was moved from the center to the side of the restaurant and there will be more seating near the window.
The last time the restaurant underwent changes was 2001, when it was given permission to expand from 82 seats to 101 seats.
Wenham Tea House Pours First Drink With New License
Eight months after Wenham Town Meeting unanimously backed a pouring liquor license for Wenham Tea House, the license was used for the first time earlier this month.
The license allows liquor to be poured from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. on Saturday and 8 a.m.-11 p.m., although the Tea House's hours don't include all those hours. It can also be used for private functions.
Dunkin' Donuts Closes for Makeover
One of the nine Dunkin' Donuts coffee shops in Danvers has closed for renovations, but it will reopen.
The Dunkin' Donuts on Route 114, at 79 Andover St., has closed in recent days. The parking lot was blocked off and there have been contractors going in and out.
Manuel Galopim, the owner of the location, said through a spokesman that the restaurant is temporarily closed during a remodeling.
Will Orange Leaf Still Open in October?
The Orange Leaf frozen yogurt shop that was originally planned to open this month in Danvers Square has bumped back its opening date to December.
That's according to Meredith Lynn, spokeswoman for the frozen yogurt chain.
Orange Leaf's first location in the region opened in Salem in June. There is also a location in downtown Andover and Marblehead. The Danvers location is one of 11 new Orange Leaf locations that has opened or is planned to open in Massachusetts this year.
Comella's Restaurant Coming to Atlantic Avenue
It looks like a Comella's Restaurant location will be opening on Atlantic Avenue in Marblehead.
At their meeting at Abbot Hall Tuesday night, members of Marblehead's Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved a request from Comella's Restaurants co-owner John Comella to open up a restaurant in the former Moran Studios space at the corner of Commercial Street and Atlantic Avenue.
Although Comella's request was to change the official use of the building from retail to restaurant, board members noted that they were actually switching it back - because the location was formerly the home of Shipyard Galley, which served breakfast and lunch.
It's been a little more than a month since Hungry Betty's Bar & Grille reopened at Village Plaza and new owner Jason Rakauskas is hoping that a revamped menu, a new chef and a focus on dish presentation will translate to an increase in business.
After the Board of Selectmen approved transferring all three of the restaurant's licenses into his name in July, Raskauskas spent weeks redecorating the interior of the restaurant and hired head chef Anthony Cornelisse in the hopes of "sexifying" the items on the menu.
The increased emphasis on dish presentation, Rakauskas said, is aimed at letting local residents know that they can get high-end food right here in Marblehead at a reasonable price.
Marblehead Selectmen Preparing to Vote on BYOB
Town Administrator Jeff Chelgren asked that the Board of Selectmen "do their homework" when it came to reviewing recently crafted BYOB regulations in the hopes of bringing the matter to a vote at their meeting Wednesday night.
Board members have been working with Town Counsel Lisa Mead to put together local regulations ever since Marblehead's new Mexican restaurant, Casa Corona, filed a request last month for permission to allow their patrons the option of bringing along their own alcohol beverages.
If the regulations are approved, Casa Corona owners Felix and Jose Bracamontes will be called in to discuss their application at te board's next meeting; and, if all goes according to plan, patrons could be enjoying their own beverages at the Smith Street restaurant by mid-November.

They are used to asking guys to show more heart on the court, but Wednesday the Notre Dame basketball coaches were focused on how to keep that heart healthy.
"As we know heart disease is the number one killer," said Notre Dame head basketball coach Mike Brey.
According to the American Heart Association, each day over 2500 Americans suffer heart attacks and another 2100 suffer strokes.
Those are numbers Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey would love to see decrease, so he decided to partner up the American Heart Association to hold a "Tip-Off for Heart" clinic. The program that he called a 'fantasy basketball camp combined with a health clinic' incorporates the benefits of combining basketball and a healthy life-style.
"I think we've all been kind of touched closely in the family or by a friend with disease," said Brey.
Not only did participants learn some skills from the Irish coaches that they could use against their friends on the court, but also some dieting tips from the team's nutritionists.
"It's not just basketball," said Mike Lewandowski. "They tie it into your every day routine with some things you can take home with you. Probably change your diet a little bit you know. I might need a bit of that."
People who were attending the event, but they also recognized the other benefits.
"I like to feel good and wake up in the morning and know that I'm healthy and this is an opportunity," said Bryan Stratton.
While the dieting and nutrition advice were two key portions of the clinic, representatives from the Heart Association also wanted participants to walk away wanting to play more basketball.
"It's nice to be able to get on the court and get out with your friends and get some exercise. Which in turn is good for your heart," said American Heart Association spokesperson Laura Guy.
Coach Brey knows he only had a day to get the programs message across, but he hopes it's enough to make a lasting impact on the lives of the participants.
"You want some guys going out of here and maybe they change their lifestyle starting tomorrow with 'I learned a lot' and wake up tomorrow and go 'my lifestyle is going to change to a healthier lifestyle'," said Brey.
This was the first time an event like this was held at Notre Dame. Coach Brey said they had 30 people show up this year and he is hoping the event will grow even bigger next year.
