The PolyATtract® mRNA Isolation Systems use the MagneSphere® technology to isolate mRNA rapidly and effectively from total RNA. The systems use a biotinylated oligo(dT) primer to hybridize, at high efficiency in solution, to the 3´ poly(A)+ region present in most mature eukaryotic mRNAs. The hybrids are bound to streptavidin coupled to paramagnetic particles, captured using a magnetic separation stand and washed at high stringency. The mRNA is eluted from the solid phase by the simple addition of ribonuclease-free, deionized water. With total RNA as the starting material, poly(A)+ mRNA is isolated in approximately 45 minutes. The isolated mRNA is suitable for all molecular biology applications, including in vitro translation and cDNA synthesis.

By ANTHONY McCARTNEY
AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - For many, Jack Klugman will always be the messy one.
His portrayal of sloppy sportswriter Oscar Madison on TV's "The Odd Couple" left viewers laughing but it also gave Klugman the leverage to create a more serious character, the gruff medical examiner in "Quincy M.E." His everyman ethos and comic timing endeared him to audiences and led to a prolific, six-decade acting career that spanned stage, screen and television.
Klugman died Monday at age 90 in suburban Northridge with his wife at his side. His sons called on his fans to embrace their father's tenacious and positive spirit.
"He had a great life and he enjoyed every moment of it, and he would encourage others to do the same," son Adam Klugman said.
The cause of Klugman's death was not immediately known. Adam Klugman said his father had been slowing down in recent years, but wasn't battling cancer, which robbed him of his voice in the 1980s. Klugman taught himself to speak again, and kept working.
He remained popular for decades simply by playing the type of man you could imagine running into at a bar or riding on a subway with _ gruff, but down-to-earth, his tie stained and a little loose, a racing form under his arm, a cigar in hand during the days when smoking was permitted.
Off-screen, Klugman owned racehorses and enjoyed gambling, although acting remained his passion.
Despite his on-screen wars with Tony Randall's neat-freak character Felix Unger on "Odd Couple," the show created a friendship between the men that endured after the series ended.
When Randall died in 2004 at age 84, Klugman told CNN: "A world without Tony Randall is a world that I cannot recognize."
The "Odd Couple," which ran from 1970 to 1975, was based on Neil Simon's play about mismatched roommates _ divorced New Yorkers who end up living together. The comedy came from their opposite personalities _ Klugman playing a writer whose sloppiness consistently irritated the Randall's fussy photographer character. The pairing was so good, the show didn't need constant help from the writers.
"There's nobody better to improvise with than Tony," Klugman said. "A script might say, `Oscar teaches Felix football.' There would be four blank pages. He would provoke me into reacting to what he did. Mine was the easy part."
Fans and fellow actors agreed it worked, posting clips of their favorite Klugman roles on Twitter and other social networking sites late Monday.
"RIP Jack Klugman. You made my whole family laugh together," actor-director Jon Favreau wrote on Twitter.
"He was a wonderful man and supremely talented actor," wrote actor Max Greenfield, who worked with Klugman several years ago. "He will be missed."
In "Quincy, M.E.," which ran from 1976 to 1983, Klugman played an idealistic, tough-minded medical examiner who tussled with his boss by uncovering evidence of murder in cases where others saw natural causes.
"We had some wonderful writers," he said in a 1987 Associated Press interview. "Quincy was a muckraker, like Upton Sinclair, who wrote about injustices. He was my ideal as a youngster, my author, my hero.
"Everybody said, `Quincy'll never be a hit.' I said, `You guys are wrong. He's two heroes in one, a cop and a doctor.' A coroner has power. He can tell the police commissioner to investigate a murder. I saw the opportunity to do what I'd gotten into the theater to do _ give a message.
"They were going to do cops and robbers with `Quincy.' I said, `You promised me I could do causes.' They said, `Nobody wants to see that.' I said, `Look at the success of `60 Minutes.' They want to see it if you present it as entertainment."
For his 1987 role as 81-year-old Nat in the Broadway production of "I'm Not Rappaport," Klugman wore leg weights to learn to shuffle like an elderly man. He said he would wear them for an hour before each performance "to remember to keep that shuffle."
"The guy is so vital emotionally, but physically he can't be," Klugman said. "We treat old people so badly. There is nothing easy about 80."
The son of Russian Jewish immigrants, he was born in Philadelphia and began acting in college at Carnegie Institute of Technology. After serving in the Army during World War II, he went on to summer stock and off-Broadway, rooming with fellow actor Charles Bronson as both looked for paying jobs. He made his Broadway debut in 1952 in a revival of "Golden Boy."

A Utah man claims to see the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus in a piece of wood.
Dean Hansen made the discovery about six weeks ago when he and his uncle were chopping pinyon pine wood in central Utah for tent posts and firewood, Salt Lake City TV station KSTU reported.
"When we first saw it, we were like 'Wow,'" Hansen told the station.
He said he's keeping the piece of wood in a safe place as he decides whether to put it on display.

College Establishes Minor in Sustainability
The world is looking to American agriculture to feed an additional 2 billion people by 2050 and American agriculture is counting on college students to bear a significant burden of the brainpower needed to meet that challenge.
(RIGHT) Monte Anderson, professor of agriculture, works with students in his horticulture class. The new minor, Sustainability, features a core curriculum of several agriculture courses, including horticulture, along with a number of electives that match students' career interests.
Wilmington College has established a new minor, Sustainability, that will officially debut in fall 2013. It features an interdisciplinary curriculum with 12 hours in agriculture courses and a dozen hours of electives, from across the academic spectrum, designed to dovetail with a student's career interests.
"It takes students on different paths," said Monte Anderson, professor of agriculture. "This will be a minor that complements a lot of different majors.
"We have a great agriculture program at Wilmington College," he added. "Our graduates understand horticulture, soil science and crop and animal science, but, with sustainability, it's not all about agriculture — there's a political and societal side to the subject."

When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Our Predictions: These Food Trends Are Coming Next Year
Our food experts have consulted the crystal ball, and heres what we see on our tables in the year to come.
By Sharon Franke
2. Craft Sodas
The only question we have about this one is: What took it so long to emerge? After all, hasn't it always seemed kind of weird to wash down organic carrots and line-caught tuna with a Diet Coke? These artisanal soft drinks are made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup and natural flavorings from roots, berries, fruits, and even vegetables. It shouldn't be long before Coke and Pepsi introduce their own versions.

IBM Watson Group Launches As New Business Unit
IBM is getting down to business with Watson. Today it officially launched its NYC-based IBM Watson Group at an event in downtown Manhattan. The new business unit – a $1 billion investment for Big Blue – will be headed up by Mike Rhodin, senior VP for Watson and formerly its Software Solutions Group lead,
"We don't form a business unit very often. When we do it's to make our company, our clients, our partners accelerate progress. It's not just about business—it's about advances that make a big difference to all of society, said IBM CEO Ginni Rometty at the event, which took place at 4 World Trade Center and also was streamed live online. Declaring us to be in the "cognitive" era of computing, in which computers will learn, get smarter over time and unleash insights from Big Data, to help us make better judgments, Rometty discussed IBM's plan of having entrepreneurs and developers leverage its Watson Developer Cloud to create their own solutions, and the interest by some 750 companies in working with them towards those ends.
Some 2000 people will be part of the new IBM group, which will be situated in the East Village's Silicon Alley. To drive the ecosystem it wants to see around Watson Cloud-delivered cognitive apps and services, it's making $100 million of that billion dollars available for venture investments in startups and businesses. The fundamental idea, Rhodin noted, is pulling together the cloud, content, and investment to get things up and running. "The first thing you need in an ecosystem is the developer cloud, the second thing is…content, the fuel of a cognitive system," he said, and you need to "make a pool of talent available to the ecosystem to accelerate its speed and build-out."

Jaguar completes coast-to-coast U.S. road trip in diesel XF
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Nov 17th, 2011 at 9:01AM
It's not every day that you see a diesel Jaguar XF on these shores. In fact, at least officially, there's only one. And it just completed a cross-country road trip that took it from New York to Los Angeles. The trip kicked off last week in the Big Apple and just wrapped up earlier this week in LA. Over the course of the eight-day journey across eleven states, three time zones and 2,884 miles, the bone-stock XF with the 2.2-liter diesel four averaged a highly impressive 62.9 miles per gallon (even better than the previous European tour), hitting a peak of 67 mpg as it approached the West...

People, two of our favorite things have collided and made a beautiful thing together. Rag & Bone has debuted its first ever ad campaign staring British super model Kate Moss. Perhaps to celebrate the upcoming opening of their first free-standing London location on Thursday, or perhaps to further cement its status as a major global fashion brand. Either way David and Marcus have ticked our fancy with these leather-clad and laid-back ads featuring Kate Moss looking rocker chic, carefree and gorgeous.
The ad was shot in London by photographer Craig McDean using natural light. While the brand is based in NYC, both designers are from London and I think this ad/photo perfectly captures that aesthetic. Downtown, a bit grungy, beautiful and chic. This picture could just have easily have been from a East Village street and that's the true beauty of it. I am a huge fan of Rag & Bone and have watched them evolve from being primarily known for their denim to having a covetable ready to wear collection and very cool New York Fashion Week shows.
Oh, and she's wearing panty hose! What are your thoughts on the ad? Cannot wait to see these ads in magazines and add them to the inspiration boards in my
bedroom office.

- Residential Strength
- Removable Pin: No
- Wood and Machine Screws Included

Ball Bearing Hinge: Ball bearing hinges are designed to handle the extra stress brought on by high traffic doorways. The greased bearings reduce the rotational friction extending the life of a hinge in heavy use situations. These hinges tend to be more durable than standard, or plain bearing hinges.
Material - Solid Brass: Solid brass is made from copper and zinc and is prized for its resilience, durability, and beauty. Solid brass can always be polished back to its original sheen and is highly resistant to rusting. Solid brass is often available in finishes that other hinge materials are not.
Mounting: The standard corners for mortised door hinges are 1/4" radius, 5/8" radius and square corner. It is recommended that three hinges be used on doors up to and including 7.5 feet with one additional hinge for each additional 2.5 feet. Make sure you check your current hinges before making a purchase.

After Copenhagen: How Can We Move Forward?
First, a confession: This is not another enumeration of confident judgments. I will not tell you that Copenhagen was an unmitigated failure. Or that this failure was Obama's fault. Or that, as is the new fashion, China was the ugliest of them all. I will not say that the South's negotiators made impossible demands. Or argue that the United Nations' process is unwieldy and obsolete. I will not claim that only domestic U.S. action really matters. Nor will I talk of a "North-South impasse" or a "U.S.-China polluters pact," two popular formulations that misleadingly imply an equal division of blame.
I will say this: Almost two decades after I started working on climate change, I was happily astounded to witness the crystallization, on the streets of Copenhagen, of a grassroots movement that was both energetic and sophisticated, and to see global civil society groups working in solidarity with the leaders of the world's poorest and most vulnerable nations to press a collective agenda. And I can tell you something else: Our chances of preventing climate catastrophe rest in large part on the ability of this new alliance to communicate to the world's richest and most powerful peoples that the emissions emergency is, above all things, a crisis of justice.
As everyone knows, the Copenhagen talks failed to catapult us into the ambitious global mobilization we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But this was never going to happen anyway. What did happen, as the veteran Bangladeshi policy activist Saleemul Huq put it, was "a shaking of the traditional pieces of the global geo-political puzzle and their landing in a new and unfamiliar configuration." In this sense, the question of success and failure is moot. The real question is whether the new configuration offers us fresh ways forward.
This question cannot be answered by the usual logic of environmental campaigning. Now is a time for reflection—not for pushing forward one more meeting, one more demonstration, one more demand. Of course we need action, and we need it fast. But we also need strategy, because Huq's "unfamiliar configurations" are going to settle in the midst of another big year that will culminate with another major December climate showdown, this time in Mexico City. If 2010 is major, 2011 and 2012 promise (or threaten) to be just as important, as do the other years in the brief time ahead—the post-Copenhagen era in which we must begin to act.
The Copenhagen summit marked a pivot in world history, a defining moment—if not a decisive one. The climate negotiations saw the debut of a new geopolitics. In it, China looms large, the United States appears weakened (though still with the ability to do great harm or good), Brazil and India are rising, the European Union looks progressive but ineffectual, and a chorus of smaller states have been emboldened to defend their interests in the face of an existential crisis. As for that "second superpower"—world public opinion—it is, frankly, divided against itself. Seen in this way, the end of 2009 may well mark the real beginning of the twenty-first century, in the sense that 1914 and the start of World War I are commonly taken to mark the real beginning of the twentieth. The hope must be that our new century won't be as hot and brutal as the last one was cold and bloody.
What We Learned in Copenhagen
Copenhagen was about far more than the climate talks. To make sense of it, look at it as a milestone in a process that's still unfolding. The negotiations did not just occur in the official meeting halls of the Bella Center. They took the form of countless debates that happened in the NGO "Convergence Center" on Copenhagen's Nørrebro, on countless internet comment boards, in civic spaces around the world. The critical debates of Copenhagen spanned the entire globe and a huge swath of opinion. Justice and science, realism and necessity, capitalism and democracy, the cost of affluence and the rights of the poor—it was all in play, encoded in the chants and banners of the estimated 100,000 people who clogged Tivoli Square on December 12 demanding meaningful action. And—most importantly—these debates were a key background to the blow-by-blow negotiations occurring among nation-states.
Interview with Kumi Naidoo
The South African activist says Copenhagen would never have taken place without international grassroots pressure.
This surely is one of the core achievements of Copenhagen. Were it not for the "street heat," even the provisional possibilities of the new situation would not be ours. The massive demonstrations outside the summit halls, the activist flash mobs within the conference, the demonstrations, and constant in-your-face pressure—this and much more had an effect not just on the tone of the negotiations, but on the substance as well. Even after civil society groups were ejected from the Bella Center, their demands echoed in the formal negotiating rooms. The green movement showed itself to be far clearer on the logic of climate justice than it was even a year ago. The ubiquitous placards calling for an accord that would be "fair, ambitious, and binding" were the right ones. The demonstrators showed smartness and savvy wrapped in a sense of urgency.
The point is that, as a focus for public education and movement building, Copenhagen was an incalculable success. Everyone—from Barack Obama to Lumumba Di-Aping, the Sudanese chair of the South's G77 negotiating bloc, to you and me—knows a hell of a lot more about climate change and its politics than we did a year ago.
Not that we didn't already know that we face a planetary emergency. This has been obvious for years. The difference now is that—thanks to the global campaign 350.org, and Mohamed Nasheed, the President of the Maldives, and a whole lot of terrified scientists—we know that we know it. And we know it in an altogether appalling manner. We know, at least in outline, what will happen in Africa, though we may wish we didn't. And Tibet. And the Australian grain belt, and Florida, and the southern oceans, and of course Greenland. We've talked about the bogs, the permafrost, and the risks to forests. We've heard, finally, about the threats to people: We know how they will suffer, how they will die.
Balancing the Burden
Copenhagen did not deliver the stringent targets and commitments needed to support the fair and ambitious climate accord the protest banners demanded. But this, fortunately, isn't the end of the story. We can also ask if Copenhagen was a failure when compared not to what is necessary, but rather to what was possible. We can explore whether (this is a key twist) it opened new possibilities, or at least prevented new possibilities from being foreclosed.
Clearly there were successes in Copenhagen. The emergence of a semi-organized bloc of "Most Vulnerable Countries" (the acronym is MVCs) is news that will stay news, and not just because of the tension between the MVCs and "emerging economies" like China and India. The larger issue is that the MVCs have come to know themselves as frontline states, and in so doing have irrevocably transformed the global politics of climate crisis. It goes without saying that, in the coming battles, the most vulnerable will reserve much of their ire for the wealthy countries of the North.
Witness the open letter that South African Archbishop and Nobel Prize Winner Desmond Tutu sent on December 15, after a walkout by the unified African bloc led to a sudden halt in the official negotiations. The Africans aimed to pressure the wealthy countries into honoring their obligations to accept stringent new reduction targets, and Tutu wished to make the stakes quite clear. His letter was blunt: "If temperatures are not kept down then Africa faces a range of devastating threats such as crop yield reductions in places of as much as 50 percent in some countries by 2020. … A global goal of about two degrees C is to condemn Africa to incineration and no modern development."
Photo Essay :: 350 Around the World
Climate activists get creative in support of what author Bill McKibben calls "the most important number in the world."
On that same note, the effectiveness of the 350 campaign is another Copenhagen achievement. By the end of the two-week melee-cum-jamboree, 112 countries had endorsed the demand to stabilize carbon dioxide levels at 350 parts per million (it's now at 387 ppm, and rising). The 350 ppm target, which once seemed so obscure, had by the end of the talks become an expression of plain speech. And, at least among the activists, it had almost entirely supplanted the 2°C temperature target as the measure of climate stabilization. This happened thanks to the determined efforts of thousands of citizen-activists across the globe who had made the number the cornerstone of their campaigns.
As a goal, 350 ppm is hard to explain without recourse to charts and other technical idioms. Suffice it to say that in Copenhagen 350 emerged as the alternative to reduction targets that would condemn low-lying and island states and other "most vulnerable" areas to near-certain apocalypse. The "official" target, as agreed by the G8 and many others, is commonly expressed in terms of a global emissions reduction to 50 percent below 1990 levels by 2050, a target that is often said, especially by politicians, to be "2°C compliant." But that's stretching the arithmetic. More precisely, the G8 supports a slack and politically expedient emissions pathway that the vulnerable countries and their allies are determined to cast aside. The vulnerable nations didn't settle for a "more honest" 2°C target, but instead counterattacked with the slogan "1.5 to Survive." This was a call for a 350 ppm target, which has perhaps a 50-50 chance of holding the warming below 1.5°C, and something like an 85 percent chance of keeping it below 2°C.
The Copenhagen Accord [.pdf, ~150k], of course, did not open the road to 350. What it does is provide a process by which governments can step forward to publish reduction pledges. This will be a very big deal, but evaluating these pledges will be complicated. What, after all, should a national emissions pledge be compared to? A projection of business-as-usual emissions? If so, which one? A measure of per-capita "emissions rights?" If so, what to do about the fact that the "atmospheric space" is already exhausted? Should historical responsibility come into play? If so, starting when? How should the obligations of rich countries be compared to those of poor? And what about the rich people within poor countries? Or, for that matter, the poor people within rich ones?

States call driving a privilege. Some people consider it a task. With the 2013 Ford Focus ST, it becomes a joy. There are very few cars today that so reward the active, engaged driver.
At the same time, the Focus ST would be practical as a daily driver. As a hatchback, it provides versatile interior space that can handle five passengers and cargo. Fuel economy, while down substantially from other Focus variants, is still good enough that each fill-up should not empty your bank account.
For the average American buyer, the Focus ST has a couple of strikes against it. First, it only comes with a six-speed manual transmission. At last count, only 6 percent of new cars sold had manuals in the U.S. And we apparently prefer sedans over hatchbacks, even in the compact segment. I do not expect the Focus ST to change these metrics.
In the tradition of the hot hatchback, a type of car developed by European and Japanese gearheads who generally only had access to economical front-wheel-drive cars as platforms for tuning exploits, the Focus ST sends almost too much power to its front wheels: 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque.
Like an aftermarket-tuned hot hatch, the Focus ST makes use of a turbocharger strapped to its 2-liter engine. However, Ford also gives it direct injection to up the efficiency. And unlike an aftermarket special, the Focus ST has very little turbo lag.
From game to real life
After spending many hours driving the virtual Focus ST in Gran Turismo 5 as my go-to car for the early races, I had high hopes for the real thing. Painted in a yellow-orange color called Tangerine Scream, the fully optioned-up Focus ST delivered to CNET met my expectations visually.
However, I found it difficult to get comfortable in the Recaro seats. The high side bolsters meant a little extra lifting and twisting to get in. The headrest too aggressively pushed my head forward, probably good for crash safety but not general comfort, and the angle of the bottom part of the seat seemed too steep. I would opt for the base cloth sport seats, but Ford ties its various tech options to the Recaro upgrade.
On first rolling out on city streets, I thought Ford might have tuned the suspension too soft. There seemed to be a velvet edge around every driving element, from ride quality to shifter to steering. But I quickly found that the Focus ST exhibits the sort of European tuning I was used to in much more expensive cars from the likes of BMW and Audi. The shifter, for example, moves through the gate as if on a well-worn track, while still showing great precision in gear changes.
On my favorite mountain road, the Focus ST revealed its true nature. Letting the revs run high, the engine took on a hard, ticking exhaust note, the growl of a small-displacement engine with a ton of power. Popping the shifter down to second was quick and comfortable, thanks to its European tuning. And the suspension, while still exhibiting its velvety smoothness, kept the body on an even keel.
Turn-in was sharp, while the wheel fed back good heft, even with its electric boost unit. But the best part about the Focus ST is that it let me play. When I held the brakes a little into a turn, the car responded with predictable rotation. I hit the gas at different points during my turn exits and the car showed me the timing that worked best. The Focus ST's handling is similar to the Scion FR-S ', but with a lot more power on tap. It is a car that readily speaks to the driver.
Tame in the city
The real benefit of its European tuning comes in city driving. Instead of making like an uncontrollable bucking bronco, the Focus ST settles down nicely. I could take off from a light without spinning the front tires and creep along in grid-locked traffic without stalling the engine. A hill hold feature would have been nice when forced to stop midway up a steep San Francisco street, but the lack of turbo lag from the Focus ST's engine helped, letting me carefully bring in the power while letting off the hand brake.
On the freeways, the Focus ST rode nicely, its suspension soaking up the bumps from expansion joints, making me feel like hundreds of miles could go by easily. However, in sixth gear at 65 mph, the engine was running about 2,500rpm, not the best tuning for maximizing fuel economy. The Focus ST only achieved 23 mpg city and 32 mpg highway in EPA testing, a little sacrifice in favor of performance.

Suspected shooter surrenders; standoff in Tacoma overon March 26, 2013 @ 4:12 pm (Updated: 3:20 pm - 3/27/13 )

As night fell, Detective Ed Troyer with the Pierce County Sheriff's Office said negotiations with the suspect were "not going well." A SWAT team fired more than 20 rounds of tear gas and launched several concussion grenades into the man's home in the Fife Heights neighborhood to no avail.
According to Troyer, the man withstood the strongest tear gas in the department's arsenal and told negotiators the only way he was leaving the house was "in a body bag."
The man gave up only after a SWAT negotiator promised his dogs would be taken care of after his arrest.
"So once we set that up and he was comfortable [...] and his friend was going to be there when he came out, he voluntarily surrendered," Troyer said.
The suspect, a 67-year-old Vietnam War veteran, has a history of mental illness and substance abuse issues. Troyer said he was drunk when he terrorized his neighborhood Tuesday afternoon armed with a "high-powered rifle."
A number of people called 911 to report the man was firing a random in the 5800 block of 13th St. Ct. NE around 4:00 p.m.
Neighbors were evacuated from nearby homes. Others were being warned to stay inside.
Troyer said at least three homes and two cars were damaged when the man went door-to-door firing rounds. One neighbor came within six inches of being shot, Troyer said, and another was threatened with a handgun.
No one was injured.
According to a woman who lives down the street from the suspect, he had a long-standing dispute with his next door neighbors and had threatened to "take neighbors out."
"He has a little bit of a drinking problem, but I didn't think that he would do this," Anita Strom said. "I hope he gets help."
According to Troyer, the suspect crashed his truck into a ditch last week and was arrested for DUI. He said alcohol, medication and a small marijuana grow operation could have been factors in the shooting and standoff.
"At this point we don't have a particular trigger or reason this occurred," Troyer said. "We are going to make sure that he gets the help he needs overnight."
Detectives remained at the scene early Wednesday morning and said it could be hours before they could get into the suspect's home to conduct an investigation.

The Migration Information Source's annual Top 10 examines key migration developments of 2014. The Top 10 touches down around the world: from Africa, where the Ebola outbreak prompted quarantines, travel controls, and bans; to Europe, confronting rising humanitarian flows; to the Middle East, where the migrant worker regulation system is under ever sharper attack; and to Asia, where reform to China's hukou system could benefit more than 100 million internal migrants.

Migration to the United States from the Korean peninsula, largely from South Korea, owes its roots to political, military, and economic factors, with an estimated 1.1 million Korean immigrants in the United States. Korean migration to the United States has stalled in recent years, and even declined, with a small but growing number of immigrants and their U.S.-born children returning to Korea, as this article explores.
This country profile analyzes Ecuador's migration trends and examines how remittances and return migration have become an important policy focus for a country with an estimated 1.5 million to 2 million nationals living abroad, chiefly in the United States, Spain, and Italy. As waves of emigration occurred, the country also has experienced significant inflows of refugees and economic and lifestyle migrants.
While immigration and the Latino vote may not have been decisive in the 2014 midterm elections, the Republican takeover of the Senate come January 2015 and increased majority in the House have significant implications for the outcome of the immigration debate. This article examines the changing dynamics and the president's intent to proceed with executive action to shield some of the unauthorized immigrant population from deportation.
Pacific Islanders with criminal convictions have found themselves deported from Australia, New Zealand, or the United States, which have shifted their immigration enforcement priorities in recent years. This article explores the significant barriers to reintegration that criminal deportees in Pacific Island countries face upon their return, including difficulty accessing community networks and jobs.
From 1980 to 2013, the sub-Saharan African immigrant population in the United States increased from 130,000 to 1.5 million, roughly doubling each decade between 1980 and 2010. This profile provides up-to-date demographic information for sub-Saharan immigrants including location, educational attainment, workforce participation, and much more.
Use this data tool—referred to as "one addictive interactive map"—to examine immigrant populations by country of origin and destination. Find out how many Americans live in Mexico, how many Ukrainians in Russia, or Filipinos in Saudi Arabia, for example.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.

Slideshow: Meet the Universe's Ultimate Engineers
The winning entries from IEEE Spectrum's Spore Creature Creator contest
Prior to the release of Will Wright's epic video game Spore, we asked readers to use the Creature Creator function and some imagination to design a creature perfectly suited to be an engineer. The Spectrum staff graded the entries on originality, humor, believability, and attention to detail. It was a close competition, with several creatures vying for the top spot. Check out how we ranked the entries, and let us know in the comments which one is your favorite.
This is not the engineer of some far, far away universe but a future engineer of Earth, given natural selection, enough time, and the timeless pressures engineers are subject to.
The main structural evolution lies in the two pairs of arms. One pair has fine fingers for delicate tinkering, while the other pair is used for holding and shaking a device. Spotty also has the sorely missed extra hand for soldering, and if required, the mouth can serve as a fifth hand. As a result, a transistor can be unsoldered in one go (requiring, of course, three soldering irons). For those who think there will be no transistors by then, let us recall that in the future all electronic circuits without exception will have exactly three contacts (one for power, one for serial communication, and one common ground).
Spotty still requires only two eyes, which are enough to create a three-dimensional representation of the environment, especially since they are movably placed on stalks. More eyes require the integration of more visual information and too much processing power in the brain. This illustrates the guiding principle of efficiency, which also directs the development of the remaining features:
- The body rests on the ground when sitting (no more chairs).
- Hooves require little cleaning (no more smelly socks).
- The skin is an indistinct grey-brown, since engineers are a) not interested in impressing females and b) spots and stains are difficult to see, reducing the need for cleaning. The special coloring shown here is adapted to hide tomato stains, eliminating stress when eating Italian food.
- A second head with attentive features and minimal brain function provides submissive/enthusiastic responses to the boss while the main head can go on with the real work.
The saws on his back are used for cutting wires, and the cylinders on his hands are hammers that can help him with his work. He has a point on his tail that works perfectly as a screwdriver, and he has pointed, clawlike fingers that are perfect for fine work. His extra arms end in plantlike growths lined with suction cups, which are perfect for holding multiple items at a time.
These extra arms also have two eyes that attach to long antennas for easy close-up examination of any item. The bottoms of his feet are covered in suction cups to get to those hard-to-reach places on the sides of walls, etc. Small, triangular plates on his wrists provide some protection from heat and sharp objects. The small spiral on his back is actually a small printer, perfect for quickly printing out progress reports for the boss. The food he eats is automatically processed, and the color is squeezed out for ink. (As he is an omnivore, this can make for a wide variety of color!)
The three mandibles act as 3-D calipers for measuring. Razor-sharp bone protrusions above the wrist give the Neer a cutting blade he can't lose, and a bony hammer plate under his forearm gives him a built-in hammer (something every engineer needs).
Long, dexterous fingers allow for precise movements (and are able to reach that screw dropped into a tight spot). To keep those screws and other small objects handy, Neer has a pouch on each leg. The membrane can close tight and hold objects securely, even while walking. This Neer has been known to clip several writing utensils onto the edge of the membrane.
Reversed knees make leaning over a workbench less tiring and eliminate the need for a stool or chair. Suction cup feet allow Neer to work from almost any angle and provide more options when pacing.
Long binocular eyestalks give the Neer great eyesight and the ability to look around for its only predator: the PHB (Pointy Haired Beast).
Of course, Neer does his best thinking after hours, and the black-and-white coloring gives him natural camouflage when he comes sneaking home late—again.
The Enjyneara are hybrid plant-animal creatures characterized by the lush, green, grassy leaves on their backs, which convert solar energy and reduce dietary requirements (the green scales function similarly, but to a lesser extent). This means less time hunting/gathering and more time for constructive engineering thoughts enabled by their well-developed brains. Other notable skin features are their yellow stripes, which help them measure distances relative to their own bodies, and the silvery scales at the bends of their limbs, which can be chemically activated to fluoresce upon darkness, permitting continued activities at night.
The most distinctive of their specialized senses are their sensitive ears, which observe environmental vibration, and three sets of eyes that allow different electromagnetic observations. More specifically, their head eyes are for general tasks and self-navigation; their hand eyes, with highly dynamic lenses, are for close-up to long-distance sight (also handy for seeing difficult to reach areas); and the tail eyes are for monitoring environmental conditions with dynamic frequency range.
A strongly supported backbone with strong midarms and lower limbs enables them to lift heavy objects and construct grand structures, whilst their nimble and steady (but weaker) forelimbs provide fine motor control for use in delicate situations. All of their limbs end with flexible digits, which enable a multitude of tasks, but the Enjyneara can also use the coarse bony masses at the ends of their midarm elbows to grind and prepare softer materials or the bony thorn digit at the end of each midarm for punching holes, engraving, or cutting softer materials. Finally, wings allow them to fly for observing or assembling tall objects, and their tail grip can manipulate or carry additional items.
Meet TWAIKSTERA, the twin being. He's always been interested in how stuff works and has never been much of a fighter. Predators are always hunting him, so his top head keeps watch while the larger head works uninterrupted. (Sort of like parallel processing.)
He's a hard worker, and because he spends so much time working, he doesn't always have time to go in search of food. Instead, he sucks in microorganisms with the spiral absorbers on his back and enlarges them to a substantial size. A few microorganisms should keep him going for a month or two.
His hands are very flexible and can be used to handle very delicate things or to take stuff apart. Since ideas can come anytime, it's good that he's got four stable legs that double up as a chair for him to sit comfortably and have a brainstorming session between his two heads.
This gentle, unassuming creature is presently working on collecting clues to prove a crazy idea that came to his head: that this universe is just a video game in another universe.
When nature needed an engineer, nature created the CRE Engineer! He is smart and interested in everything that surrounds him. With his three lively eyes and big ears, he can monitor even the smallest and noiseless happenings. The long antennas on his face increase this ability. A bendable foot and flexible leg allow him to reach difficult positions. Two pairs of arms with different types of hands are useful for manipulating various objects and realizing complex creations. He also uses the two lower hands to draw, and he is a great designer!
A fifth arm in the back is really helpful to pick up objects. He seems funny and even a bit ridiculous, but all geniuses are a bit crazy, and he is a real genius. He likes eating so much (as do all engineers) that he has a well-rounded belly. That's okay because he doesn't have to run—his mind runs instead.
Geekor the engineer. Geekor has green skin composed of chlorophyll so that he can absorb energy from the artificial lighting when he's working those all-nighters.
Geekor has fine appendages for fine work as well as a claw for hitting a system that needs a good whack. Geekor can see in all directions, which allows him to analyze problems from all angles. Geekor has one up-close set of eyes for fine detail. Geekor can't run very fast because he has suction cups for feet. That means he's very loyal—he won't be running off to that dream job anytime soon.
We received a lot of great submissions to this contest. Some of the other designs the judges liked were the incredibly modeled (yet outside the parameters of the contest) Admin by Олег Исупов (left) and Sluggle by Liz Frerking (right). If designing video-game creatures isn't your cup of tea, check back for other contests that are more hands-on. Or tell us in the comments if you have a great idea for what Spectrum's next contest should be.
