'Let's Get Back to Ecology': A New Interview with Peter Kareiva
Nature Conservancy Chief Scientist Peter Kareiva recently gave an interview to Biodiverse Perspectives, a blog written by more than 100 graduate students in biodiversity science around the world. It's an excellent Q&A, with one of the best distillations yet of Kareiva's thinking on conservation's focus on biodiversity versus the benefits of a broader focus on ecology.
Read the full interview here. But here's a quote to whet your appetite:
"I have what some think is a heretical view of biodiversity. Look – I do want to prevent extinctions. But I think what should be a reasonable concern for biodiversity has turned into a numerological and narrow counting of species, and has led to an over-emphasis on research aimed at rationalizing why biodiversity should matter to the general public. Ecology matters to the general public because ecology is about water, pests and pestilence, recreation, food, resilience and so forth. Perturbations to ecosystems in the form of massive pollution, land conversion, harvest, species loss can all distort ecology. But focusing so narrowly on producing graphs that on the horizontal axis display number of species and on the vertical axis report some dependent ecological function (that is distantly related to human well-being) strikes me as not worth so much research. Let's get back to ecology – understanding how systems work, what controls dynamics, the role of particular species as opposed to the number of species, to what extent do ecosystems compensate for species losses, what factors contribute to resilience, whether there really are thresholds – all those are terrific research questions. Counting species, and trying to produce what is, as far as I can tell, usually very weak evidence for the relationship between biodiversity per se and ecological function is off-track.
"Early on in my job at TNC I presented to business leaders some of the empirical data plots from classic biodiversity and ecological function studies. These are studies we all interpret as strong evidence for the importance of biodiversity. I can tell you unequivocally when they saw the actual data they were totally unimpressed and unconvinced. It caused me to look more objectively at the data."
As always, let us know what you think in the comments.

|Battle of Rimini, Dekemvriana, Greek Civil War
|Cross of Valour in Gold
Thrasyvoulos Tsakalotos (Greek: Θρασύβουλος Τσακαλώτος, 3 April 1897, Preveza, Janina Vilayet, Ottoman Empire – 15 August 1989, Athens), was a Hellenic Army officer who served in World War I, the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922 and World War II, rising to become Chief of the Hellenic Army General Staff.
Tsakalotos was born in Preveza in 1897. He entered the Hellenic Army Academy in 1913 and graduated from it as an Infantry 2nd Lieutenant in 1916. He fought at the Macedonian Front of World War I as well as in Anatolia against the Turks, being promoted to Lieutenant in 1917 and Captain in 1920. In the interwar period he held various staff appointments and commands, as well as a teaching post in the War Academy. He was promoted to Major in 1924, Lt Colonel in 1930 and Colonel in 1938.
During the Greco-Italian War, he commanded the 3/40 Evzone Regiment, until he was appointed Chief of Staff of II Army Corps on 22 March 1941, shortly before the German attack and occupation of Greece. In 1942, he managed to escape the country and reach Egypt, where the Greek government in exile resided. There he was placed in charge of the Ismaïlia training centre, before assuming command of the newly formed 3rd Greek Mountain Brigade in April 1944. He led his brigade during the Gothic Line offensive in Italy, including the Battle of Rimini, and then in the Dekemvriana clashes with the pro-Communist EAM-ELAS in Athens in December 1944.
In March 1945 he was appointed CO of the 2nd Infantry Division. In the next year he was placed as the head of the Supreme War Academy and promoted to Major General. In 1947, he was appointed Assistant Deputy Chief of the Army General Staff. In 1948 he was promoted to Lt General and given command of I Army Corps and then II Army Corps, from which position he contributed to the victory of the Hellenic Army in the Greek Civil War. From May 1951 he served as Chief of the Army General Staff, resigning the post in November 1952. In 1957–1960, Tsakalotos also served as Greece's ambassador in Yugoslavia. Following the Metapolitefsi of 1974, Tsakalotos became a supporter of Andreas Papandreou and the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK); in the elections of 1985 he published a statement encouraging people to vote for PASOK and saying that he felt Andreas was like a brother to him. (Avriani, May 1985)[citation needed]
On 23 March 1984, as a symbolic gesture of reconciliation and healing of the divisions caused by the Civil War, Tsakalotos publicly met and shook hands with his erstwhile adversary, Markos Vafiades, the commander of the Communist forces.
Thrasyvoulos Tsakalotos died in Athens on 15 August 1989.

Manchester superintendent, school officials to meet on curriculum revamp
The school district recently received results of an audit showing it needed to improve its comprehensive written curriculum management plan. The district also is in the process of embedding Common Core State Standards into its curriculum, which is a road map for what is taught in the classrooms.
"At some point, what I'd like to see is we add examples for parents to see, so it's just not particular statements," she said. "Parents should be able to see what that looks like, so if they want to help their child at home, they have a better concept of what that looks like."
School board member Sarah Ambrogi, who chairs the curriculum and instruction committee, said she is more than satisfied with Livingston's performance so far.
School districts are not required to follow the Common Core standards. They can choose to adopt it entirely, pick just the parts they like, or not use it at all.
"Since we have a chance for early implementation, getting the 30,000-foot view is better than picking and choosing," Livingston said.
"It takes time for teachers to develop expertise," Livingston said.

NVIDIA's SHIELD gadget is undeniably unique in the Android world, which might be why the company has decided to go with a more mainstream form factor for its second hardware foray. The SHIELD Tablet, as it's officially titled, was leaked hard last week, but NVIDIA made it official this morning. The 8-inch device features the latest Tegra K1 processor, a 1080p LCD screen, NVIDIA's GameStream software and other specialized apps, and an optional controller that's similar to the control pad on the original SHIELD.
BeyondPod has long been one of the top Android podcast managers, but it was definitely not tops in the looks department. The current version is okay, but it could use a fresh coat of paint.

The single biggest issue I've found with most Bluetooth earbuds (or earbuds in general, really) is that they never stay in place during physical activity. Running, cycling, or just working out in general always knock my 'buds loose. Throw some good ol' Texas heat into the mix (where "good" should be interpreted as "I hate it more than almost anything in this world) to get the sweat flowing like a waterfall, and keeping them in in basically futile.

Another month has come and gone, which means a ton of app posts on Android Police to sift through. In point of fact, there were fewer notable apps released in March than in the last few months - that's why our primary picks are down to just six. But most of these should be useful to most users, with Per-App Modes and Pixl Preview applying only to root users and Photoshop owners, respectively.
Back in the day, people used to go on runs with nothing but a loose pair of shorts and whichever shoes were comfy. Now such an idea feels downright preposterous without earbuds, music, podcasts, a fitness band, or an activity tracking app. Runtastic's offering is one of the first that comes to mind, and today it's getting bumped up to version 5.0. Runners, here's the promotional video.
Yeah, that video showed the iOS interface.

Governor's office taps the brakes on San Antonio representative's plans to quit his House seat
though some
headlines a couple weeks ago indicated that Rep. Mike Villarreal, D-San Antonio, had resigned his seat so that he
could run for mayor of his hometown, Governor
Perry's office has put the brakes on those plans for now. For his part, Villarreal sought to assure voters he is committed to running for mayor and he will not serve in the House in 2015.
The hangup is due to the way the Democrat worded his letter, which isn't technically a
resignation. Instead, Villarreal said in the
letter dated Nov. 6 that he will "decline to assume the office for
which I have been elected in the Texas House of Representatives for
the 84th
that letter, Villarreal also requested that Perry go ahead and call a special
election "quickly" so that people who live in House District 123 will
have representation as the session starts on Jan 13 – or at least pretty close
to that.

From the Left: Quorum Report's liberal columnist Jason Stanford argues Republicans can save themselves by embracing immigration reform, rather than fighting the President on it
is less important in Washington these days than how Barack Obama's executive order on immigration will affect millions
of unauthorized immigrants. Obama has turned a population roughly equal to
Alabama into taxpayers who can live in America without fear of deportation, and
this town yawns. All anyone really wants to talk about is whether the
Republicans will completely freak out or manage to hold it together long enough
for the government to function.
by "function," no one is thinking that Congress will do anything so radical as pass laws or other things imagined as normal
by the Founding Fathers. No, the nightmare scenario for Republicans is a mass
of anger and confusion that could derail their plans to govern just as they got
control of Congress. Put simply, the right hand doesn't know what the far-right
hand is doing.
choice is coming down to suing the President, which no one thinks will work,
defunding the President's immigration executive order, which the Republican House
Appropriations Chairman Hal
Rogers says is impossible, and of course shutting down the government in
some sort of a legislative tantrum. So far, Republican leaders have managed to
keep impeachment off the table, but no one thinks the relative peace will last.
That's how angry they are.

Economist Stuart Greenfield on where the dollars really went
Along with the increase (6.0
percent) in total revenue, total expenditures also increased by a substantial
amount (6.6 percent) in fiscal year 2014 (FY14). Of the $6.2 billion increase in state
expenditures in FY14, over half (50.6 percent) was accounted for by the increase
in Public
Assistance Payments, primarily Medicaid, while 20.5 percent of the
increase was for public education.
As shown in Table 1, two items,
public assistance payments (38.5 percent, an increase from FY13), and public
education payments (24.7 percent, a decrease from FY13) accounted for almost
2/3rds of state expenditures.

Collin and Dallas County GOP executive committees throw their support behind the man challenging Joe Straus; Turner starts to hint at how he'd run the House
The idea of whether there
is a Speaker's race in Texas has been the subject of much debate in political
circles as of late. While the emerging numbers – based on declarations of
support from House members – suggests Rep. Joe
Straus, R- San Antonio, will easily win re-election to preside over the
chamber, there are some developments worth noting.
The executive committees
of both the Dallas County GOP and the Collin County Republican Party have
now endorsed Rep. Scott Turner,
R-Frisco, in his bid to unseat Straus as presiding officer.
"I am honored by the decision
of the Executive Committee of the Collin County Republican Party to support my
campaign for Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives," Turner said in a
press release. "The overwhelming support we are receiving from grassroots
activists all over the state is truly humbling," he said.
Dallas County GOP Chairman
Wade Emmert,
by the way, said he is staying neutral in this. He said he "will work with
whomever wins Speaker."
Turner did not return our
call for comment about this and he has previously declined to discuss exactly
what his vision would be for running the House.
In that press release
about the Collin County GOP endorsement, Turner laid out a few things:

QR's resident curmudgeon with a rundown of what he thinks Texas D's need to do next
Before Texas Democrats try exorcism,
a collective mikvah or consultation with the spirit of Edgar Cayce to get a handle on the future of their party, they
might resort to a cold-hearted inventory of the seemingly hopeless state of
mind and body of their organization. Here's a few items they might want to look
at closely:
Stop whining about Obama. --- On election night I heard at least three
bright young Democrat operatives blaming the President's low approval rating
for fueling the party's epic fail. Get real. Obama was never a significant
factor in this Texas debacle one way or the other. All this kvetching makes you sound like Republicans.
Whiz kid consultants from elsewhere don't
hunt here. --- When Wendy Davis brought in
campaign consultants fresh from the Obama re-election she was doomed. Texas is
like no other state politically, geographically, demographically, economically
or spiritually. There are so many different "Texases" no cookie cutter campaign techniques will work. Battleground Texas? You win some. You
lose some. But these people don't even know where to buy tickets.

Update at 6:06pm Tuesday: Michael Quinn Sullivan did not previously
respond to our request for comment about the email he sent last week to people
in Rep. Capriglione's district. This afternoon, Sullivan
confirmed that this email, seen here, is
a correct copy of what he wrote – SB
oilman Tim Dunn is one of the most
powerful Republicans most people have never met. But his operations are well documented
through his acknowledged subsidiaries, Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, Empower
Texans and AgendaWise.
candidate Scott Turner doesn't have
a lot of direct Dunn money in his campaign, but he is currently the clearly
anointed "not Straus" favorite of the Dunn interlocking directorates.
Giovanni Capriglione
rocked Dunn-world last week by saying what every sentient political
professional at the Capitol already knew, that Turner had neither the policy
depth nor the political support inside the Republican Caucus or House to be
Speaker. The Southlake freshman was not naïve, he knew
he would face the orchestrated wrath of the Dunn conglomerate.
It did not take long for Dunn spokesman Michael
Quinn Sullivan to flame Capriglione's district
with an email attacking their rep. In
fact, he effectively declared war on the Tarrant County lawmaker by saying

From the Right: QR's conservative columnist argues there is a right way and a wrong way for the GOP to oppose President Obama's promised executive action on immigration
constitutional law professor in chief will always seize a political
opportunity, even if it creates a constitutional crisis. In theory a president
"shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." After all, it's in the Constitution.
But President Obama is making a
different calculation: that Republican objection over a constitutional
separation of powers issue will be overshadowed by the political benefit resulting
from his executive order on immigration.
Here is the
trap he is trying to set for Republican candidates running for president:
oppose his order on constitutional grounds, and then spend months answering
whether alternatively you would deport those 4.5 million people. He wants
Republican candidates to oppose the order in the primary, and have it come back
to bite the nominee in the general.
This is a
president who locked down war memorials from veterans to make a point about the
government shut down. He will do anything to advance his political goals. He
will even tell you if you like your doctor, you can keep him. He has proven he
will say anything, and do anything to win a political victory. He has a
pocketful of Gruber.

Co-Founder of Glasshouse Policy points to data that suggests even in a GOP dominated Legislature, bipartisan bills have the best chance of passage
the dust settles from the recent election, it is clear that the 84th
Texas Legislature will look a lot like the 83rd Legislative Session,
including Republican dominance of the Texas House and Senate, and control of
key leadership roles statewide. So, it would be wise for policy practitioners
to learn from the successes of the previous session and try to repeat those
successes this time around.
Glasshouse Policy crunched the numbers from the 83rd Session and the
data confirms that the clearest path to getting things done begins with
Republicans and Democrats working together. In fact, our research reveals that
a bipartisan-authored bill filed in the Texas House of Representatives was
nearly 6 times more likely to pass than a bill filed by same-party legislators.
arrived at this conclusion after taking a close look at the political parties
of the joint-authors of every bill filed in both the Texas House and Senate.
For the purposes of our report, bills jointly authored by at least one member
of each political party are considered to be "bipartisan."
did we find when our analysis was complete? Bills coauthored with bipartisan
support, while rare, were more likely to become law than their single-party
counterparts. And, interestingly, despite the success of collaborative bills,
there were relatively few bipartisan bills filed.
are some
of our key findings:

Davis Square options - advice on places I haven't been to yet
- kittychow Feb 15, 2007 06:56 AM
Catching a movie in Davis and trying to decide where to eat before the show.
I haven't been to Out of the Blue. Is it worth checking out? Do they have a bar you can sit at?
Also thinking the a trip to check out Gargoyles is long overdue. Wondering how swanky the bar is? We'll be pretty casual and comfy. How is the poutine?
Anything else worth checking out?
Gargoyles is great and although it is the nicest place in the square it is not that swanky. Jeans are totally appropriate at the bar.
Why not try Sagra at 400 Highland? Brand new, about a week old.
i would very much second that vote for sagra, however with one caveat. the place has been open for almost two weeks. i have loved what i've eaten there. rigatoni della casa was great. the mushroom risotto and the short-rib was as satisying a meal as i've ever had. had it monday night and i will get that dish often. i've eavesdropped on others raving abou tthe pizza and the delicious $3 side-dishes, (they're worth $6) and the unigue desserts. my concern for this place has been the service. nothing outrageous, but i am left with the impression that so much talent was put in the kitchen that the front of the house is having a hard time catching up. i don't want a massage from the wait person, but i do expect water, proper place setting, proper follow-up, timely removal, etc. having said that, i am willing to go for the food alone, but i fear others may not be as patient as i am willing to be while the front catches up with it's back. sagra, your food is fantastic, but do yourself a favor and get that house in order.
Out of the Blue:
My advice would be to go to Gargoyles, although I can't wait to tray Sagra myself.
re: Ed4
A big second for Martsa. It's cheap, delicious and perfect for this weather. I'm especially fond of the vegetarian menu (I went vegetarian for about six months while living in Somerville, I think it's required, thankfully back on the foie gras and rare steaks). Get the pumpkin curry or the vegetable curry, have them with the tingmo. Follow with the bhagamatsu (sp?). Neat dessert, kind of like tibetan fried dough/bread pudding, big enough to share. I've absolutely stuffed myself like a sultan there for less than $20.00.
re: sailormouth
Any opinion on Martsa versus House of Tibet up in Teele?
re: finlero
Both are casual but HoT feels more like a date place to Martsa's quick bite feel. I found the food at each to be good - nothing mind blowing - but solid good chow (though I've only eaten at HoT once to 4x at Martsa). Both are quite affordable with Martsa being slightly less expensive. Out of sheer laziness, I'd say Martsa has the better location too - with that walk to Teele from the Davis stop being oh so far for my lazy a** : )
re: finlero
I think both are blah, but prefer Martsa to House of Tibet. I prefer Rangzen in Central Square to both.
re: finlero
I prefer House of Tibet Kitchen to Martsa for straight up Tibetan cuisine. Their stews and momos are quite delicious (especially on a night like tonight). Martsa does have some good Tibet-in-exile dishes though.
re: finlero
Have had the lunch buffet at Martsa twice and dinner at House of Tibet once. Found the latter bland and dull, liked the former much, much better.
The other option that jumps immediately to mind is Namaskar, some of the Boston area's best Indian.
re: jjbates4
My wife and I tried out La Spina about two weeks ago. We had the gnocchi which were really good and really filling, the seafood pasta which was excellent -- calamari done just right and a subtle red sauce. Antipasti were a bit more hit-and-miss, some lovely cheeses alongside what tasted like supermarket cold cuts. Also a very peculiar approach to service -- very nice, well meaning wait staff, but you'd think nobody had ever figured out the problems of serving dinner before (bread came out in dribs and drabs, pepper and cheese with the meal were handled awkwardly at best, and the timing was just ... odd in a way I can't put my finger on). Good enough food that I"ll be going back to see how it plays out (though I'm also excited about this Sagra place!).
There's also The Burren, an Irish Bar with great atmosphere and some good food - I usually get their steamed mussels with cream sauce, and a Guinness of course.
re: fenian
I just ate at Yoshi's last night and it was exactly decent. The salmon last night was especially tasty and the rice was nicely seasoned and temperatured. The pickled gourd in the oshinko maki (my fave anywhere) was also really good. There was one piece of nigiri (dunno which it was) that seemed like it included a bit of ligament or fiber (?) but that might have just been an unfortunate cut. I like Yoshi's fine and would make it a regular stop if I lived in the area.
re: Nora Rocket
The very best thing about my meal was two little pickled carrots that came along with the unagi donburi. These would have been impressive at Oishii.
re: phoebek
You have to be at the bar proper on Friday and Saturday nights to order off of the bar menu. During the weekend, the bar area is used as an extended dining room.
re: lypp
As a Chowhound, I'm very conflicted about Diva, especially with Namaskar a block away. I sometimes think of Diva and Namaskar as one of those pairs of mismatched best friends you see in high school.
Diva is hip, stylish, popular, and good looking, but just a little bit dim, shallow, and self-centered. Namaskar is more conservatively dressed, less popular, not as good looking (although by no means ugly), but a straight-A student with a great sense of humor. Diva is surrounded by legions of adoring fans, while Namaskar, certainly by no means an outcast, keeps a lower profile.
The food at Diva is flashy, fun, competently prepared, and a little bit inauthentic (it is, after all, an "Indian bistro"), served in a fun, trendy atmosphere. The food at Namaskar is significantly more authentic, expertly prepared, and served in a handsome, but much less flashy atmosphere. Diva has lines out the door on weekends (as does the adjoining Diva Lounge); I've never had a wait at Namaskar.
Between a love of their superb cuisine and, perhaps, a bit of a root-for-the-underdog empathy on my part, I'll choose Namaskar every time.
re: finlero
Excellent post... the only thing I can add is that when I lived in Davis, I always thought of Namaskar as that restaurant across the street in Seinfeld that Jerry wants to save (sorry for the Seinfeld reference as I know they are tired but that's EXACTLY how I felt about that place). When I'd pass by, one of the guys would almost always be in the doorway, peering out at potential customers. I always felt bad for him and almost felt like I should tell him to not look so desperate. To use your high school friend analogy: Namaskar might be the straight-A student but maybe it also reeks of spineless-last-finishing-nice-guyishness that keeps the ladies (crowds) at bay? And maybe that's why I found a certain kinship with it? Or maybe it was just the better food and atmosphere : )
re: finlero
Wonderful analogy, and I'm with you - Namaskar is our neighborhood go-to for Indian food. Diva may have straightened out its act, but in its earlier days the service was so abysmal that we stopped going after a couple of times. . .
re: finlero
What's up with the "Diva Lounge", anyway? Took a peek at the drink menu there and there were some absolutely silly (some might say, "intriguing") cocktails. Is it a popular place and worth checking out, or all sizzle and no steak?
re: Sgt Snackers
I find it positively absurd - horrible cocktails that aren't just poorly mixed, but incredibly small in an uncomfortable space. Too bad really, I was excited about the design at first, but then I tried to actually sit down!
re: lypp
The food is okay, not great. However, the service is impressively poor and has been all 3 times I've been (I'm officially done giving it a fair chance). Forgotten food, unrefilled water, waiting forever for the check (so long that I almost just left once... ). Ugh. I hate Diva and their stupid over-sized plates. I'm not a huge fan of Namaskar either, actually (I prefer Tanjore and India Quality), but I would take that over Diva any day.
re: lypp
Have had the lunch buffet at both Namaskar and Diva. Would gladly go back to the former anytime I'm in the area. Didn't care for Diva's food that much and found the waitstaff less than friendly, if not as famously rude as their reputation has it; am in no hurry to go again.
But good as Namaskar is, if I'm getting Indian I'd just as likely (or more likely) choose India Quality, Tamarind Bay, Cafe of India, Rangoli, Indian Club, or Kebab Factory.
We frequent the front room at Gargoyles'; the bar menu is always available in that room around the bar, and at the tables. Weekends include... although we prefer to be on the bar regardless, gini I think you were misinformed. I agree on the smoke (not sizzle) of Diva lounge, but those puffed snacks they put out (freebies) are calling me back. I get a Clockwork Orange feel, which is scarily OK.
re: blacknbleu

available after 10:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays
re: naughtywaitress
As I've said before, we've given up on Tu y Yo after a couple of disappointing meals and a couple of downright bad ones (and not a good one in the lot). Haven't had the sangria, though...
re: naughtywaitress
I mentioned it :).
I haven't been in a while (maybe all the negative reviews got to me), but the entree of pulpo and camarones cooked with peppers in olive oil is one of the best dishes I have had in Boston. I've probably been four times total (ordering that dish twice), and nothing else has been *great* to me, but it has all been good. I enjoy the neat menu items like grasshopper tacos and beer with salt and pepper and hot sauce. Service and atmosphere are nice. It always seemed popular. If it were in Davis Square proper I'd probably have gone twice as much, but Powderhouse Square is a bit of a hike without a car.

Roll the pork loin in the porridge oats, place into a pre heated pan with a little olive oil, colour on all sides, then add a good knob of butter and place into a pre heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for approx 8-10 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan, tip away any excess fat, add the shallots to the pan and colour slightly, add the calvados and flambé, then add the sage, bay leaf and 200ml of the cream and cook until a sauce consistency is achieved. Pass through a fine sieve, add the grain mustard and set aside. Pan fry the black pudding in a little butter until coloured on both sides (1-2 min). Melt the sugar in a frying pan, add 50g of butter, once golden brown add the apples and cook. Add 50ml of the cream and a knob of butter to the mashed potato, season and place into a piping bag.
To serve, pipe 3 mounds of potato evenly across the plate, place 3 pieces of black pudding on top, slice 3 even pieces of the pork and place on top of the black pudding then 1 turned apple on top of each piece of pork, drizzle the sauce around, garnish with deep fried sage leaves.
