Title: Identity of vine in New York
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Hey there. I've recently found a "Wild Cucumber" vine in my backyard, which has been taking over our electric fence. Now I've stumbled across another very similar vine. They fruits are clustered together, in a bunch. Very small, not even an inch long, with large white seeds inside. They're also slightly spiny, but I'm unsure of how firm they are. They tend to stick to gloves rather well. When I first saw them, they reminded me of the "everlasting gobstoppers" from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, only instead of varying colors, they're just green.
Here is information about Echinocystis lobata (Wild cucumber) and here are more photos and information from Robert W. Freckman Herbarium University of Wisconsin.
I think your other vine must be Sicyos angulatus (One-seed burr cucumber). Here are more photos and information from Illinois Wildflowers and from Discover Life. You are right—they do resemble "Everlasting Gobstoppers", only all green.

The BeachThe Beach - by cooperThaddeus lies on the beach. He watches his son, Matthew, build intricate sand castles. The sand tickles his toes as the crashing waves and young laughter create a harmonious symphony. He wonders what it'd be like not to hear his child laugh, tell him how proud he is, feel the sand tickle his toes, be able to walk on the beach or walk at all for that matter, but worst yet, not been able to have Matthew. He calls Matthew over and tells him how proud his daddy is and gives him an embracing hug. But it is drawn short by a tickle torture and chase around their castle.On a cottage facing the water, Mr. Palmer stares entranced at a man and son on the beach. He watches them kick up the sand around a freshly made sand castle. A figure gradually blocks this calming view. He looks up with squinting eyes to make out his plump nurse.

Land acquisition resumed in Odisha for POSCO project
BHUBANESWAR (Reuters) - The Odisha government resumed acquiring land for POSCO's(005490.KS) planned $12 billion steel mill in the state amid protests, a government official said, raising hopes the South Korean steelmaker could accelerate a project pending since 2005.
POSCO's Odisha project, touted as India's biggest single foreign direct investment, has run into major delays mainly due to environmental concerns and opposition from farmers over land acquisition, hurting the image of Asia's third-largest economy as an investor-friendly destination.
"We resumed the work only after the villagers voluntarily agreed," Satya Kumar Mallick, the administrative head of Jagatsinghpur district where the POSCO site is located, said on Monday. "Some people tried to obstruct the officials, but police drove them away," he added.
POSCO, which is backed by billionaire investor Warren Buffett and is the world's fifth-biggest steelmaker by output, signed a pact with the state government in 2005 for the 12 million tonnes-per-annum plant on 4,000 acres of land.
Odisha, formerly called Orissa, has already acquired 2,000 acres and is now in the process of acquiring another 700 acres. But locals have been opposing the move.
Betel leaf farmers and fishermen said the project would disrupt their livelihoods. Hundreds of women and children formed human rings at the site over the last few days to prevent police and officials from carrying out further work.
"The male police have ruthlessly beaten our women who had formed a human chain. Police and officials forcibly demolished the betel vines," Said Prashant Paikary, spokesman of POSCO Pratirodh Sangram Samiti, which is spearheading protests against POSCO.
But police denied the charge.
"No force was used. The work is being done without any trouble," superintendent of police Satyabrata Bhoi said.
A POSCO official said the company would continue dialogue with the villagers.
"We are happy to see that the government has started land clearance work. We hope the government will hand over the land to us soon so that we can start our land preparation work for the steel plant," said In Gweon Lee, general manager corporate relations department with POSCO India.
Trade Minister Anand Sharma had last week expressed concern over the delay of the POSCO project and said the federal government will conduct a review.

Corey Patterson rejoins Orioles on minor league deal
Apr 20, 2010, 6:25 PM EST
Corey Patterson, who opted for free agency after failing to make the Mariners as a non-roster player this spring, is back with the Orioles after agreeing to a minor league contract on Tuesday.
Patterson was last a useful major leaguer in his first year with the Orioles in 2006. After coming over from the Cubs for two prospects, he hit .276/.314/.443 with 45 steals and played some outstanding defense in center field.
Unfortunately, Patterson's performance fell off both offensively and defensively the following year, as he hit .269/.304/.386 in 461 at-bats. He declined further with the Reds in 2008 and he spent most of 2009 in Triple-A, though he did manage to strike out 13 times in 29 at-bats for the Brewers and Nationals.
The Orioles had some room for Patterson because of Felix Pie's injury, but it's doubtful that they'll be in any hurry to call him up. He's expected to report to extended spring training initially.

Alfred Edward Housman
From Far, From Eve and Morning
From far, from eve and morning
And yon twelve-winded sky,
The stuff of life to knit me
Blew hither: here am I.
Now-- for a breath I tarry
Nor yet disperse apart--
Take my hand quick and tell me,
What have you in your heart.
Speak now, and I will answer;
How shall I help you, say;
Ere to the wind's twelve quarters
I take my endless way.

Gaddafi determined to avoid Saddam Hussein's fate
ALGIERS (Reuters) - When Muammar Gaddafi ponders his future from his hideout somewhere in Libya, he will probably recall the fate of another fallen Arab autocrat, Saddam Hussein, pulled bedraggled from a hole in the ground.
With that precedent in mind, Gaddafi will be adamant, say people who know him, about two things: he will not give up the fight against Libya's new rulers and, if the end comes, he will not allow himself to be captured alive.
"Gaddafi will not stop fighting," said Fathi Ben Shatwan, who served under the former Libyan leader as minister for energy and industry until five years ago. "He will not stop unless he is stopped."
Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC), almost certainly with help from Western intelligence services, has mounted a manhunt to find Gaddafi that is focusing on the Sahara desert near the borders with Niger and Algeria.
The outcome of the hunt for Gaddafi also depends, at least in part, on the state of mind of the prey, and what he chooses to do with the dwindling options in front of him.
For the moment, all the signs suggest that, despite the odds stacked against him, he still believes he can take back power.
The last time the outside world heard from him, in a speech broadcast on Sept. 20 on a Syria-based television station, he said his system of rule was based on the will of the people and it was "impossible that this system be removed."
That confidence is unsurprising in a man who ruled Libya for 42 years and crushed several coup attempts and uprisings, though none ever on the scale of this rebellion.
"He will not give up and he will not lay down his weapons until the end," said Al-Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmoudi, who was Gaddafi's prime minister until a few weeks ago and is now in neighbouring Tunisia.
That view was echoed by Soad Salem, a Libyan writer. "Gaddafi will continue believing the illusion that he is still in power and can defeat the NTC forces. He will never acknowledge that he lost power," she said.
Salem has an explanation for this. "He is crazy," she said.
For all his eccentricity, Gaddafi is a pragmatist. He may believe he has identified a way back to power: a targeted insurgent campaign that would undermine the new government by hitting it at its weakest spot.
Libya depends on crude exports for its survival and this in turn needs foreign oil executives and engineers to operate the oil fields. A few carefully chosen kidnappings or bomb attacks would keep the foreigners away and dent oil production.
It is a strategy that does not require control of territory or major military resources, just money -- which Gaddafi is thought to have in large quantities -- a few weapons and some organisation.
"It is vital for the NTC: they need the foreign specialists," said Alan Fraser, Middle East analyst with AKE, a security and risk consultancy.
"One way for the Gaddafi loyalists to prevent that is to carry out a couple of attacks. It's about the propaganda coup that would give them in terms of preventing foreign companies from coming back in," he said.
"I am sure there will be Gaddafi elements that will evade capture and attempt to disrupt development, particularly in the oil sector."
An important question is whether Gaddafi, who was born in 1942, will have the nerve and physical stamina to stay on the run for a long time. If cornered, he may in the end choose to surrender quietly.
Asked about his state of mind, a former colonel in the External Security Organisation, Gaddafi's foreign intelligence service, said: "He will be afraid.
"In fact he's always been a bit afraid. He mistrusts his own people. You look at the tunnels he built under our country and our city (Tripoli). He did this to enable him to escape and hide," said the source, who did not want to be identified because of the sensitive nature of his past work.
However, Gaddafi is on familiar ground. His early years were spent leading a Bedouin existence, living in tents in the desert.
Even once in power he stuck to a spartan lifestyle, preferring to pitch a tent when visiting foreign capitals instead of staying in a hotel or the Libyan embassy.
"You should know that Gaddafi is used to living in tough conditions," said Ben Shatwan, the former energy minister.
"He is accustomed, since his childhood, to living in hot areas, cold areas, going hungry. He is used to that ... He is able to stay hiding unless he is discovered."
What though will Gaddafi do if his pursuers are closing in on him and there is no longer any prospect of carrying on the fight?
Fleeing to a neighbouring country is not an attractive option for him. One of his sons, Saadi, escaped across the border into Niger, where the authorities say they are keeping him under surveillance.
Possibly anticipating where he will end up next, Saadi has retained as his lawyer Nick Kaufman. He specialises in international tribunal cases and past clients have included a Cambodian Khmer Rouge prison commander and the Rwandan leader of a group accused of mass rapes and killings.
Oliver Miles, a former British ambassador to Libya, said Gaddafi will not opt for that fate, but will instead want to leave the stage on his own terms.
"It seems to me he would he would have very clearly in his mind what happened to Saddam Hussein, being caught in a hole, wearing a dirty shirt," said Miles.
After he was found hiding underground on a farm in northern Iraq in 2003, Saddam Hussein was put on trial and executed by hanging.
"I have a kind of personal hunch if you like, which is not more than that, and that is the best way to preserve his (Gaddafi's) legacy is just to disappear."
Miles said Gaddafi could do that by putting on a disguise, smuggling himself into a neighbouring country and then going to ground for the rest of his life. The risk of detection though, would be high.
"Another way would be to retreat into some army bunker and blow himself up," said Miles.

Great article! Our company is in the process of large scale social and SEM advertising tests. We are hitting key demos across a wide number Of geo targets. So far we are seeing significantly higher ROI from Google than Facebook, and have spent 5x less on AdWords in comparison. However, for our Facebook testing, we are only placing Sponsored Stories and fully omitting traditional ad units pointing users outside of Facebook. Im presuming the Q1 stat for Facebook CTRs in the article only reflects the traditional ad unit. What we are seeing with Sponsored Stories is an average CTR of 0.5% with certain buys as high as 7%. We are also seeing a 22% increase in email opt ins and a 26% upswing in Facebook page engagement. Hence, is there additional value to certain businesses for Facebook which is missing in the article? Per our results I would have to say yes, though ultimately agree that as a direct digital revenue driver, Google hits it out of the park. Would love thoughts and thanks again for all the insights!

Country Life High Potency Biotin 5 mg. - 120 Vegetarian Capsules Country Life High Potency Biotin is an essential water-soluble B vitamin. The name biotin is taken from the Greek word bios meaning "life." Without biotin, certain enzymes would not work properly and various complications would occur in part of the body including: the skin the intestinal tract the nervous system. Metabolic problems including very low blood sugars between meals, high blood ammonia, or acidic blood (acidosis) can also occur with a lack of biotin in your diet. Death is theoretically possible, although no clear cases have been reported. Recent studies suggest that biotin is also necessary for processes on the genetic level in cells (DNA replication and gene expression) as well as in carbon dioxide transfer and therefore essential to the metabolism of carbohydrate and fat. In the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, Biotin functions as a critical component of several enzymes (where it functions as a coenzyme) involved in energy metabolism (such as pyruvate carboxylase). Biotin helps in the synthesis of fatty acids, in energy metabolism, and in the synthesis of amino acids and glucose. Biotin is also involved in making glucose, some amino acids and in energy production. Vitamin H, another name for Biotin, plays a special role in enabling the body to use blood sugar (glucose), a major source of energy for the body. Biotin supplements may improve thin, splitting, or brittle toe and fingernails as well as hair health. Biotin has also been used to combat alopecia (partial or complete loss of hair) in both children and adults. Biotin is typically included in most multi-vitamin supplements.

This is my third week in a row of losing weight, Dr assured me baby is doing fine and it's just due to everything being squished inside - she said to eat small amounts frequently and juicing to get good nutrients. Anyone else losing weight at this point? I'm not dieting or going hungry, just feels like natural lap band surgery!!!!
Anyone else losing weight at this stage?

Last appointment I had a bump in weight, and this one I lost. I definitely felt like I'd lost bloating but nothing serious.

Feeling much the same. I'm 32 weeks and due to the recent extreme heat, my appetite has diminished and I'm drinking more than eating. Because of this I am consuming more soups, smoothies and fresh veg or fruit juices to still be receiving all the vitamins and nutrients bub and I need.

I'm really losing my appetite lately, but I'm forcing myself to eat anyway. Haven't started losing yet, but my weight has plateaued.

I have finally gained a little more. I had only gained 2lbs as of my last appt. But now I'm up to 6lbs. I was super duper sick with hyperemesis the first and second trimester so I just lost in the beginning.

I'm worried about this too. I'm 31+3, and last week I lost 1.5 pounds while this week I stayed the same. I've gained a total of 18 pounds, and my pp weight was in the normal/average range, so I'm supposed to gain 25-35. I don't understand how this could NOT hurt the baby. And it's not like I'm not eating!

At 30 week appointment I was up 3.5 lbs then at 32 weeks I was down 1.5 so total gain is 2 lbs ;-/

I was down three pounds from two weeks ago at my appointment yesterday. My OB had two offices and I went to the one I don't usually visit, so I'm hoping they just need to calibrate their scales. I was a normal weight to start, lost weight at first from being sick. Now I'm still only up 10-12 pounds from where I was after losing weight during my first trimester. AND, somehow I have gestational diabetes. I don't get it. I eat all the time. My ob isn't concerned. Baby measures on track and is active.

Chicago law firm fights for civil rights, against death culture
By Matt Abbott
I recently attended the 10th year anniversary benefit dinner for the Chicago-based Thomas More Society, Pro-Life Law Center (www.thomasmoresociety.org), a �not-for-profit, public interest law firm � dedicated to fighting for the rights and dignity of all human life. The Society vigorously defends clients in state and federal courtrooms around the country, addressing vital issues across the pro-life spectrum, including pregnancy discrimination, end-of-life health care, the right of conscientious objection for medical workers, and freedom of speech for peaceable nonviolent protest.�
The dinner�s program book contained the following summary of the Thomas More Society�s many accomplishments in the last 10 years. The summary, written by TMS president and chief counsel Tom Brejcha, is most impressive!
"Some of the Many Cases Handled by Thomas More Society from 1997�2007"
by Tom Brejcha
Thomas More Society was forged in the crucible of courtroom conflict�the marathon landmark federal antitrust and �RICO� lawsuit, N.O.W. v. Scheidler. And so, we are �litigating lawyers� and our efforts over this last decade very largely have been undertaken in trial and appellate courts across the country. But as experienced litigators familiar with trials and appeals, we�re often called upon to render advice and counsel to pro-life clients to help keep them out of court and to work toward their goals and, if at all possible, to achieve them by means that avoid going to court�writing demand letters, negotiating with federal, state and city officials, consulting with legislators, regulators and other decision-makers, and helping our clients to find ways to foster and advance pro-life values without undue or unnecessary sacrifice of their time, treasure or freedom.
We�re not afraid to take on the toughest cases. And we persevere in them. Our aim and resolve is to �pitch complete games,� even when cases go into �extra innings,� and to help as many of those who call on us for help to the maximum extent possible. We�re not merely interested in finding and pursuing �test cases� because every pro-life case is an important case! We�re like David, and we cannot match the financial resources of the pro-abortion Goliaths�Planned Parenthood, American Civil Liberties Union, National Organization for Women, National Abortion Rights Action League Pro-Choice America, National Abortion Federation, Center for Reproductive Rights, etc. But pardon our immodesty if we declare that�with God�s grace and our supporters� prayers from all over the U.S.�we can match them in lawyerly skill and experience. We�ve got truth and right on our side. We don�t give up. As Yogi Berra said, �It ain�t over till it�s over.� We bring this conviction to each of our cases. We�re in this for the long haul.
We also believe in winning, wherever possible. It�s not good enough merely to �make a good showing.� Over the years we�ve found it all too common that pro-lifers go into court without benefit of qualified legal representation, only to find their legal rights ignored or trampled. Yes, we do our best to see that pro-lifers get legal help. But that�s not good enough. It�s important to do whatever it takes�provided we can find the lawyers and resources needed to do the job�to win every case that deserves to be won when our clients are in the right. And most of the time, they are in the right!
One key element in winning cases is to open dialogue and forge links and alliances with others similarly situated whose own causes and advocacy may be hurt by virtue of adverse legal precedents handed down against pro-lifers. Indeed, bad decisions against pro-lifers imperil the rights of other citizen activists, advocates and protest groups. This works in both directions. A key element in winning successive pro-life victories before the U.S. Supreme Court in N.O.W. v. Scheidler was our seeking and securing wide support among other protest leaders and groups�civil rights groups (e.g., Dr. King�s SCLC), death penalty advocates and groups (e.g., Sister Helen Prejean and Citizens United Against the Death Penalty), disability rights groups (e.g., Not Dead Yet), animal rights groups (e.g., Fund for Animals, PETA), and peace advocates and groups (e.g., Pax Christi, the Berrigan brothers, Jonah House, Kathy Kelly, et al). When called on to lend aid to these folks who helped us, we do so whenever time permits and the effort is consistent with our paramount pro-life mission.
Here are some of the important cases we�ve handled, some of which are still going on:
N.O.W. v. Scheidler�We must tell you a bit more about this marathon mega-litigation than about our other cases, as this case triggered�indeed it necessitated�the birth of our Thomas More Society. This case will go down as a landmark in the annals of American law, having been before the U.S. Supreme ...

Autistic children more than three times as likely to run away
Study shows nearly half of autistic children have run away
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Almost half of children with autism in a new study had run away at least once — and many of them were missing long enough to cause concern. Researchers found kids most often wandered off from their home, school or a store, and some tried to run away multiple times a day.
But rather than being confused about where they were, kids typically left to find a place they enjoyed, to explore or to avoid an anxious or uncomfortable situation, their parents reported. The study surveyed the parents of 1,218 kids with an autism spectrum disorder.
Of those kids, 598 — or 49 per cent — had tried to run away at least once, their parents reported. And 316 were missing long enough to cause concern — an average of more than 40 minutes.
In comparison, the same parents reported 13 per cent of their non-autistic children had ever wandered off after age four.
Climate change linked to ER visits
The risk of heading to the emergency room for certain conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, kidney disease and low blood pressure, rises slightly as temperature and humidity increase, according to a new study from California.
Researchers also found that for a few conditions, including aneurysm and high blood pressure, higher temperatures were tied to a drop in ER visits.
"What we know about climate change is that heat waves in California and throughout the world are going to become more severe and more intense," said Rupa Basu, the study's lead author and an epidemiologist at the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.
That heat waves can lead to more deaths is already known; one recent report predicts 150,000 additional heat-related deaths will occur in U.S. cities by 2100 because of climate change.
Gum disease liked to psoriasis
People with chronic gum disease seem to be slightly more likely to develop the skin condition psoriasis, according to a new study. Taiwanese researchers found that in a group of more than 230,000 people, those with gum disease were 54 per cent more likely to get psoriasis over five years.
For the new research, published in the British Journal of Dermatology, Dr. Joseph J. Keller from Taipei Medical University and his colleague turned to a database of Taiwan's national health system.
The study is among the first to investigate the link between the two conditions and researchers caution it doesn't necessarily mean gum disease can cause psoriasis.
Psoriasis is thought to be caused by a mistaken immune reaction directed at the body's own cells, leading to inflamed patches of red, scaly skin.
Oral health has also been tied to other conditions, with two studies from this year finding links to heart disease and dementia. But until now only one other study had looked at the link between psoriasis and chronic periodontitis, the advanced stage of the gum disease gingivitis.
