It's National Pollinator Week!
It was good to see the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) conduct its recent "Be a Scientist" project. Thousands of participants across the state counted pollinators (and also mapped places where food is grown and checked off the ways they are conserving water), according to Pam Kan-Rice, assistant director, News and Information Outreach, UC ANR.
In a news release posted this week, she reported that "10,697 people counted pollinators, including bees, butterflies, bird and even a few bats."
"It's encouraging to see so many Californians interested in pollinators because they play a vital role in producing food," said Barbara Allen-Diaz, UC vice president for agriculture and natural resources, in the news release. "People are conserving water in many different ways, which is important because water is a limited resource even in non-drought years. And, surprisingly, almost half of the people participating in our survey said they grow food."
"Preliminary results," Kan-Rice reported, "show that people counted 37,961 pollinators in a three-minute period. Flies were by far the most abundant, accounting for 79 percent of the pollinators counted."
Meanwhile, on the national level, the Pollinator Partnership announced that National Pollinator Week, established by U.S. Congress in 2007, is growing by leaps and bounds. (Or maybe by wings and feet.)
In a press release, the Pollinator Partnership officials wrote: "Pollinators, like bees, butterflies, birds and other animals, bring us one in every three bites of food, protect our environment. They form the underpinnings of a healthy and sustainable future."
One of the many ways we can protect our pollinators is to pass the Highways BEE Act, introduced in Congress by Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) and Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA), co-chairs of the Congressional Pollinator Protection Caucus (CP2C), to create and/or preserve pollinator habitat along our highways. Individuals, along with regional and local organizations, are signing an online petition at http://www.pollinator.org/BEEAct.htm.
BEE is an acronym for "Bettering the Economy and Environment" Pollinator Protection Act.
And at the UC Davis level, the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology is hosting an open house at its Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven on Friday night, June 20, in observation of National Pollinator Week. The event, free and open to the public, will take place from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Bee Biology Road, west of the central campus. Visitors will receive zinnia seeds until they're all gone.
The bee garden, installed next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility in the fall of 2009 with generous financial support from the premier ice cream company, is a year-around food source for bees and is also intended to raise public awareness of the plight of the honey bees and to provide ideas on what to plant in our own gardens.
When you walk through the front gates, you'll immediately see the six-foot-long mosaic ceramic honey bee created by self-described "rock artist" Donna Billick, co-founder and co-director of the UC Davis Art/Science Fusion Program. It's anatomically correct right down to the wax glands.

The Bee Team Visits the Haven
Visiting entomologist May Berenbaum, professor and head of the Department of Entomology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, this morning stopped by the haven, a half-acre bee friendly garden on Bee Biology Road, University of California, Davis, to see the bee activity.
Joining her were Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen; bee scientist Brian Johnson, assistant professor of entomology, and native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology, all of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology.
The garden, planted in the fall of 2009, is located next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility. It is open year around, from dawn to dusk and maintained by the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology.
Berenbaum, who will become the fifth woman president of the 7000-member Entomological Society of America in 2016, saw honey bees foraging on pomegranate and flowering artichoke blossoms and other flowers. Thorp pointed out the Valley carpenter bees, mountain carpenter bees, European wool carder bees, yellow-faced bumble bees and black-tailed bumble bees.
Thorp, who monitors the garden for bees, has found some 85 different species of bees--"and counting"--over the last five years. He began forming baseline data a year before the garden was planted.
The key goals of the garden are to provide bees with a year-around food source, to raise public awareness about the plight of honey bees and to encourage visitors to plant bee-friendly gardens of their own. Häagen-Dazs, a premier ice cream brand, generously supports the garden.
The garden design is the work of a Sausalito team which won the international design competition using a series of interconnected gardens with such names as "Honeycomb Hideout," "Orchard Alley," "Growers' Circle," "Round Dance Circle" and "Waggle Dance Way." The team: landscape architects Donald Sibbett and Ann F. Baker, interpretative planner Jessica Brainard and exhibit designer Chika Kurotaki.
The art work in the garden is by the UC Davis Art/Science Fusion Program, co-founded and co-directed by entomologist/associate dean Diane Ullman and self-described "rock artist" Donna Billick. Billick also created the six-foot long worker bee sculpture that anchors the garden. The sculpture, which Billick cleverly named "Miss Bee Haven," is of mosaic ceramic.
Berenbaum visited the UC Davis campus May 20-21 to deliver two presentations as part of the Storer Lectureships: "Bees in Crisis: Colony Collapse, Honey Laundering and Other Problems Bee-Setting American Apiculture" on May 20 and "Sex and the Single Parsnip: Coping with Florivores and Pollinators in Two Hemispheres" on May 21. (Click on this link to watch a video of her talk, "Bees in Crisis.")
Berenbaum, a talented scientist, dedicated researcher, dynamic speaker, creative author, and an insect ambassador who wants people to overcome their fear of insects, focuses her research on the chemical interactions between herbivorous insects and their host plants, and the implications of these interactions on the organization of natural communities and the evolution of species.
As as a spokesperson for the scientific community on the honey bee colony collapse disorder, Berenbaum has conducted research, written op-ed essays and testified before Congress on the issue.

Pollen Power
Female Valley carpenter bees are solid black--except when they're foraging around passion flowers. Then they're black and yellow--the yellow being the color of the pollen transferred to their thorax.
Beautiful? Absolutely.
Mary Patterson, one of the founding Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven gardeners, planted a Passiflora (passion flower vine) along a fenceline of the bee garden several years ago to attract such insects as honey bees, carpenter bees and Gulf Fritillary butterflies (Agraulis vanillae). This is the Gulf Frit's host plant.
And the Passiflora does indeed attract them.
The Valley carpenter bees (Xylocopa varipuncta) were really mixing it up today during a Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven Committee meeting.
The garden, installed in the fall of 2009, thanks to a generous gift from Häagen-Dazs to the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, is located on Bee Biology Road, west of the central UC Davis campus, next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility. It is open from dawn to dusk.
Check out the passion flowers. You'll find lots of insects passionate about them.

Let Us Prey
So patient, so passionate.
The praying mantis looked hungry last Thursday when it perched on a coneflower in the half-acre Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven on Bee Biology Road, University of California, Davis.
Where's breakfast? Where's lunch? Where's dinner?
Nowhere to be found.
A few honey bees and sweat bees buzzed around the predator, but didn't land.
The praying mantis changed positions, much like a fisherman who feels "skunked" in one place will try his luck at another site.
It crawled up, down and around the flower.
Half an hour later, it slid beneath the coneflower, out of the hot sun. An umbrella for shade, a place to rest, a place to prey...
Praying mantis waits and waits. (Photo by Kathy Keatley Garvey)
Maybe hunting is better on the other side? (Photo by Kathy Keatley Garvey)

Is There a Better Camouflage Than This?
Robbin Thorp saw it first.
Talk about an eagle eye.
Thorp, a native pollinator specialist and emeritus professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, was monitoring the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven on Bee Biology Road, UC Davis, on July 23 when something caught his eye.
The California buckwheat was waving at him.
"While looking closely at the California buckwheat flower heads, I noticed a piece of one waving but there was no wind," recalled Thorp. "I watched a linear group of florets march across to another head. I tried to get a close-up on a flower head as background, but could not get the focus right."
So he placed the "unusual life form" on his finger to capture a better image. He captured it all right: a larva covered with buckwheat florets.
Later insect photographer Allan Jones of Davis, a regular visitor at the haven, obtained a spectacular photo of the camouflage.
Thorp identified the "unusual life form" as the larva of an emerald moth Synchlora (see http://bugguide.net/node/view/747823/bgimage). "The larva pupates with its camouflage still on then turns into a delicate green geometrid adult," he said. (See http://bugguide.net/node/view/316178/bgimage for the life cycle: caterpillar to moth).
Maybe it was serendipity, but Thorp found the larva during National Moth Week, July 23-29.

Smaller community banks, faced with the daunting challenge of keeping pace with technological advances, are the real beneficiaries of cloud-based solutions. Rather than investing in and constantly replacing or upgrading hardware and software maintained by an IT staff, banks now have the option of investing in subscription-based solutions that reside on cloud servers and, more important, offer expanded capabilities often with reduced overall cost. This translates into less money being spent on an IT infrastructure and more money being spent for business development.
An emerging cloud-based solution is electronic (or paperless) document management: credit and loan files, audit preparation, HR files and customer records. Although the transition to paperless has been under way for a few years, whats new is cloud-based document imaging that is affordable for smaller banks, such as the AccuAccount Xpress software platform. Offered by AccuSystems LLC, Pueblo, Colo., Xpress is a lending-specific imaging and document management application designed specifically for smaller financial institutions. Xpress integrates simple repository imaging with document exception management and reporting. Available as an in-house hosted solution or as a cloud-based solution, Xpress can be used for all departments, allowing banks to become virtually paper-free.
We feel AccuAccount Xpress is a perfect fit for banks with less than $300 million in assets, although it would work well for any financial institution with less-complicated loan portfolios, limited geographic footprints and fewer branches, said Chris Gredig, co-president of AccuSystems. Xpress requires fewer resources to implement and manage than more robust systems, but it still allows a bank to take advantage of many automated workflows within the platform.
When moving from a paper-based system to an electronic document management system, banks still have to image paper documents and/or upload image files to the in-house or cloud server. This may require the purchase of scanning equipment and possibly the upgrading or addition of in-house servers. Once documents are in electronic format, though, banks will no longer need to rely on paper-based files.
Surveys among banks, auditors and regulators have determined that electronic loan management is the next large technology investment community banks are planning, said Gredig. When comparing the expense of installing a new document imaging system to the tangible and intangible savings of moving from a paper system, the costs can usually be recovered in 13 months or less.
Cloud-based solutions, such as Xpress, offer benefits both internally (operations) and externally (customers). These benefits include:
Computer visionary and Apple founder Steve Jobs introduced the concept of cloud computing in 1997 15 years ago. In a 2012 report, Gartner Inc., the technology research company, predicts that the personal cloud will replace the personal computer by 2014. For financial institutions, cloud computing for a variety of applications is here today.

7/17 in Yankee History
The red-letter days –
1950: Whitey Ford wins his first Major League game' beating the visiting White Sox 4-3. Tom Ferrick closes for New York.
1947: The Yankees sweep a doubleheader against Cleveland 3-1 and 7-2 to extend their
winning streak to an AL record-tying 19 games. The streak matches that
of the 1906 White Sox. New York began the streak on June 29' in game 2 of a doubleheader with the Senators' when they were 3
1/2 games in front; they now lead by 11 1/2.
1941: In front of more than 60'000 fans at Cleveland's League Park' Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak is ended at 56 games (94 hits). Indian
pitchers Al Smith and Jim Bagby' plus sensational plays by third baseman Ken Keltner' stop the Yankee Clipper. But New York edge the Indians
4-3' for their 17th win in 18 games to stretch their lead to 7 games.
On other 17ths of July…
2003: Andy Pettitte gets the start, and gives up 4 runs and 7 hits, including a home run to former Yankee Shane Spencer, in 7 innings of work before handing the ball over to Chris Hammond. An Alfonso
Soriano homer in the sixth pulls the Yanks even at 2, but reliever Hammond gives up up two in the seventh, before Derek
Jeter's two-run blast in the eighth ties things yet again. Hideki
Matsui's walk-off home run on the second pitch of
the home ninth gives Mariano and the Yankees the win, 5-4.
1996: The Red Sox take a 9-2 lead over the Yankees into the 7th inning in
Boston. New York score 3 in the 7th' 2 in the 8th' and 4 in the 9th to
move ahead' 11-9. The Red Sox bounce back with 3 of their own in their
last at bat to defeat NY by a score of 12-11 and end John Wetteland's record save streak.
1990: At the Stadium' Bo Jackson hits 3 straight homers, the third for career no. 100, then
separates his shoulder in the 6th inning diving for a line drive off the
bat of Yankee Deioin Sanders. Sanders ends up with an inside-the-park homer run, but Kansas
City take home a 10-7 win. Jackson will be out for 6 weeks. Mel Stottlemyre Jr. (shown below with his father) makes his ML debut' pitching an inning of relief against the Bronx Bombers.
1989: In a 7-3 loss to the White Sox, Yankee hurler Dave LaPoint gives up Carlton Fisk's 2,000th career hit.
1978: In the latest incident in his ongoing feud with manager Billy Martin' Reggie Jackson ignores instructions and attempts to bunt in the 10th
inning of a tie game with the Royals. Jackson pops up' the Yanks lose in the 11th by a final score of 9-7' and Martin serves Jackson with a 5-day suspension
without pay. The Royals' 3-game sweep at Yankee Stadium leaves New York
in 4th place' 14 games behind the Red Sox.
1977: The Royals complete a three-game sweep of the Yankees at home, with Ken Clay taking the loss. The Bombers have now dropped 7 of their last 9, and are 3 games in back
of the leading Orioles.
1961: The Yankees top the O's' 5-0' behind Whitey Ford's 13th straight win. Mickey Mantle and Moose Skowron hit long home runs at
Baltimore. The nitecap goes into the 5th when' with 2 outs and the Yanks
up 4-1' a thunderstorm strikes. The umps wait 65 minutes before calling
the game' thus washing out homers by Mantle and Roger Maris.
1959: Chicago's Early Wynn and the Yankees' Ralph Terry match zeroes for 8 innings at the Stadium' before Chicago's Jim McAnany collects the first Sox hit in the 9th. Jim Landis adds a second hit to drive home two runs to give the Sox the
2-0 win. Wynn matched Terry by also allowing just two hits.
1956: Johnny Kucks wins his 4th game in 10 days – 2 starts and 2 relief appearances – beating the Tigers 4-0. It extends the Yanks' win streak to 11 games and gives Kucks his
14th win – high in the majors. The Yanks will lose a pair tomorrow.
1953: The Yankees use a triple play and 4 DPs to stop the Browns 6-4. Center fielder Irv Noren starts the trip[le-killing with a tumbling catch in the 2nd inning. Gil McDougald scores 4 times on a single' double' triple and walk.
Allie Reynolds gets the win in relief.
1936: Red Rolfe, Lou Gehrig and Bill Dickey hit 3rd-inning homers against Detroit to tie the AL record'
since topped. New York roll' 9-4' dropping the Bengals to 4th place.Goose Goslin has a pair of homers for Detroit.
1934: Babe Ruth draws his 2'000th base on balls at Cleveland' off Oral Hildebrand. He will retire with a still untopped walk record of
2'056. But the Indians jump on 3 pitchers for 17 hits to win 13-5.
1923: Miller Huggins' antipathy towards Carl Mays surfaces as the manager keeps the him in the entire game against
Cleveland even though the hurler is having a disastrous outing. The Indians light up Mays for 20 hits in the 13-0 win behind George Uhle. Mays' record over the campaign will be a decent 5-2 in 81 innings' but the
Yankees will sell him at the end of the season. Teammates Everett Scott and Wally Pipp protest the Indian scalping of Mays by exiting the dugout.
1920: The Yankees collect 21 hits' good for forty bases' to starch the White Sox 20-5. Aaron Ward shines in the field and collects a home run' a triple' and two
singles. Ruth is held to a double and two singles' while Happy Felsch leads the Sox with four RBI. With the Indians
sweeping two from Boston' the Yankees trail the Tribe by two games.
1903: Cleveland knock Jack Chesbro out of the box in the 6th to easily beat the host New
Yorkers' 11-4. Nap Lajoie' Elmer Flick have triples for Cleveland and Wid Conroy contributes one for the Highlanders. The Naps' Bill Bradely
connects for a home run. The drive over the left field fence is 'the longest hit made at
the new grounds' according to the New York Herald. Harry Howell (shown below) pitches the last three
innings for the home team' holding Cleveland without a run.

Unless you enjoy slogging around in the snow on foot, climbing skins are the only way to go when you travel in the backcountry. Climbing skins attach to the bases of your skis and give you traction so you can step and slide uphill. Easy to attach and detach, skins are a simple, easy tool and a vital piece of backcountry ski equipment.
Skins are made of mohair, synthetics or a synthetic/mohair blend. Synthetics are durable and grippy, while mohair glides with superior speed and efficiency.
Length & Width:
Unless it's manufactured specifically to fit your ski, you'll need to buy a skin that's longer and wider than your ski at its widest point (usually the tip) and trim it to fit. Most skins ship with an easy-to-use trimming tool and instructions.

Yeah it is a pretty inteligent system, except when I watch 2 seasons of breaking bad, and it doesn't appear in my recently watched bar.
a while ago Amazon recommended me the King James Bible. these internet programmes don't know you and we need to talk to real people to get recommendations
it works pretty well showing me new movies and shows i'm interested in.
just sucks that i don't want to watch certain things because anybody in the house could check my history if they wanted to, since i've got it streaming to the lving room tv, my tv, ps3, phone, etc.

Revis is the best corner in the league...But def not the best defensive player in the league..
Revis is perfect for Rex and Rex calls plays that compliment Revis' skill set...

Unless I'm missing something, it does not seem possible to reach 102.4% unless you have literally every piece of wrath block rating gear as well jewelcrafting and blacksmithing. When my Armory updates you'll see I'm coming in at 101.61%. If I backpedal a couple enchants to Burning Crusade w/ Defense on bracers and Block Rating on shield, I don't think that'll quite cover the gap.
Let me know if I'm missing something. (If Armory doesn't show Jewelcrafting then it hasn't updated)

Illustration by H. Douglas Pratt
This large raven found throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere is more frequently found singly, in pairs or small groups, but in many regions is sometimes found in foraging or roosting flocks of several hundred, even several thousand, birds. Polytypic. Length 24" (61 cm).
Identification Largest corvid in the Americas, with uniformly glossy black plumage, long, heavy bill, and long wedge-shaped tail. The bases of the neck feathers are gray. Nasal bristles on top of bill cover the basal third to half of the bill. The throat is covered by thick and shaggy feathers. Juvenile: brownish cast to feathers, grayish eye, and fleshy gape (quickly darkening after fledging). Immature: tends to show worn brownish wings that contrast with fresher black wing coverts. Flight: wingbeats shallower than crows. Frequently soars; pairs frequently engage in a variety of aerial acrobatics, sometimes even turning upside down. Glossy black plumage is often most apparent in flight, when ravens often appears "greasy," as if covered with oil.
Geographic Variation Roughly 11 subspecies worldwide; 4 in North America. While variation is largely clinal, differences between extremes sometimes apparent. Northern and Eastern principalis large with long bill of medium depth. Residents of western Alaska to northeastern Siberia are the largest, with the broadest and longest bill. Western sinuatus and particularly southwestern clarionens smaller, with smaller bill, shorter wings and tail.
Similar Species See Chihuahuan raven, which can be extremely similar. Crows are much smaller with much smaller bills and fan-shaped tails.
Voice Extremely varied, with local dialects and individual specific calls reported. Call: common call is a low, drawn-out croak kraaah; also a deep, nasal and hollow brooonk. Juvenile begging calls are relatively high-pitched, but there is much individual variation. Calls can be similar to the Chihuahuan raven.
Status and Distribution Generally common, but more local on southern periphery of range. Breeding: diverse array of habitats. Tends to prefer hilly or mountainous areas, but found on tundra, prairies, grasslands, towns, cities, isolated farmsteads, forests, even Arctic ice floes. Migration and dispersal: generally considered sedentary, but poorly understood. Regular spring passage noted along Front Range of Colorado late January–late March. Vagrant: casual chiefly in winter to Great Plains, southern Great Lakes, and lower elevations of Atlantic coast states.
Population Declined greatly in the 19th and early 20th centuries due to loss of habitat, shooting, poisoning, and disappearance of bison on the Great Plains; extirpated from Alabama, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the southern Great Lakes. Populations are now expanding into some of their former territory in parts of the East, Great Lakes, and northern Plains. Listed as endangered in Tennessee and Kentucky. Shooting, trapping, and habitat degradation continue to pose threats for this species, but it is becoming more tolerant of humans; birds are often found in cities and towns in the West.
—From the National Geographic book Complete Birds of North America, 2006

It Gets Better
Written and directed by Speak Theater Arts' Liesel Reinhart, It Gets Better is infused with the dynamic musical energy of The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles and the internationally recognized branding of the It Gets Better Project. It Gets Better provides a performing arts response to the difficult issue of bullying, one of the most challenging issues among today's young adults and adolescents.
About the It Gets Better Tour:
The It Gets Better Project™ was founded in September, 2010, when the first it gets better video was uploaded to YouTube, igniting a worldwide phenomenon. That video offered a desperately needed message of hope to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth. It urged them to tough it out through the bullying and other challenges that confronted them in their teenage years, and described the positive future they could experience as adults. It told them that no matter how difficult things may be today, it gets better. Today, the mission of the It Gets Better Project is to communicate to LGBT youth around the world that it gets better, and to help effect the changes necessary to make it so. The team at the It Gets Better Project is thrilled to collaborate with the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles in bringing the it gets better message to the stage. - itgetsbettertour.org
About Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles:
Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles is one of the country's largest men's choral ensembles and committed to advancing social change through music.
To create musical experiences that strengthen our role as a leader among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and performing arts organizations,enrich our member-artists, support LGBT youth, challenge homophobia, and expose new communities to our message of equality. - facebook.com/GayMensChorusLA

Henry Sandham
Canadian, 1842–1910
Portrait of Mr. A.W. Ogilvie, 1888
oil on canvas
76.5 x 61 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with the assistance of Mr. and Mrs. G. Hugh A. Swan in memory of his grandmother, Mrs. Hugh Phillips
Painting, Canadian Historical (1800-1910)
Alexander Walker Ogilvie was a leading member of Montreal's elite Anglophone community. Before the creation of the grain pools in 1920, all grain was purchased by private companies, and Ogilvie had established himself as a successful flour miller. Ogilvie Mills opened a branch in Winnipeg in 1895. Henry Sandham was likely introduced to Ogilvie through the photographer William Notman. Notman worked briefly in the Ogilvie milling business before establishing a photography studio in Montreal, where Sandham was employed in the 1860s and 1870s. At the time this portrait was painted, Ogilvie was a Conservative Senator, appointed by Prime Minister John A. Macdonald. A year later, Ogilvie and several other supporters commissioned Sandham to paint the official portrait of Macdonald, displayed today in the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa.

I am considering giving up on breath as the object of my meditation, or at the very least changing my approach to breath.
Quick background - I have been meditating for more than a year, doing the "condensed method" of the anapanasati sutta. I focus on breath at the nostrils generally. It has been helpful generally in reducing my stress and worry in life. I also feel much more connected to the Buddha's teachings, which I am thankful for above and beyond any "stress relief" in everyday life.
However, two months after beginning meditation I began to have hyperventilating/panic responses in public speaking events, when giving presentations, or speaking on conference calls. I have a tendency to be overlly self conscious but was good at my profession and able to power through this anxiety in the past, but now, since meditating and being more aware of the breath, my anxiety has become a full blown physiological panic reaction. I now take medications (beta blockers) when doing a presentation, etc.
I hoped to continue with the anapanasati sutta and eventually pass through this difficulty, yet it does not seem to be happening. I am considering changing my practice to one of the following (other suggestions are welcome):
1. focusing on the breath at the belly, instead of the nostrils
2. dropping breath as an object entirely (ignoring it??) but continuing with the four foundations of mindfulness
3. dropping mindfulness practice and only doing other buddhist practices, like metta, chanting, and bowing
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! I am in no way questioning vipassana of anapanasati sutta generally. My concern is that -- given my pre-existing tendencies of being self-conscious - -the focus on the breath is making my life as a lay-person more difficult.
edit - I am going to also raise this with my in-person teacher, when I have a chance.

AIG Analyzes ID
Stating some of the same criticisms NCSE has raised about Intelligent Design, Carl Wieland of the young-earth creationist organization Answers in Genesis (AiG), criticizes the ID movement for not having a "'story of the past" – of lacking a coherent narrative of "what happened", and focusing only on the mechanism (of natural selection.) As Wieland points out, "if the origins debate is not about a 'story of the past', what is it about?" The reason for the lack of a coherent position on "what happened" is "a necessity, because they do not agree within themselves on a st
An Open Letter to the Ohio Citizens for Science
by Eugenie C. Scott
Dear Ohio Citizens for Science,
Well, you did it.
Louisiana Rejects Evolution Disclaimer
On December 12 the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) voted 7-3 not to require biology textbooks to include an evolution "disclaimer". Opponents of evolution education had proposed that Louisiana require a version of the disclaimer placed in all Alabama biology texts since 1996. Alabama remains the only state with such a requirement.
State Board Adopts Standards, Rejects Intelligent Design
On December 10 the Ohio Board of Education unanimously voted to adopt new science standards which will guide public school curriculum and testing across the state. For the first time Ohio's standards will explicitly include the concept of evolution. Local supporters of science education consider the new standards a great improvement over the previous statewide guidelines, especially in their treatment of biological evolution.

Recruitment at Brown * Recruitment Schedule * Why Join a Greek House? * The Recruitment Process * FAQs
Recruitment at Brown starts at the beginning of the SPRING semester and some houses choose to also rush upper class-men in the FALL.
STEP 1: Check out the Houses
Take a look at each of Brown's 10 Greek Houses on our website, or stop by and talk with a few current members and see which chapters interest you.
STEP 2: Recruitment!
You're always welcome and encouraged to stop by any of the houses or events throughout the year. But, from the end of January through the beginning of March, each chapter sponsors a number of open events designed specifically for rushes to get to know its members and learn more about the process of joining.
Take a look at the Recruitment calendar or schedule to see when each house is holding events.
STEP 3: Bidding
Houses hand out bids at the end of the rush period. Each group has different methods for choosing who to bid, and some rushes may be bid by more than one house.
If you'd like to join a house, the best thing to do is to make friends and express your interest as these are typically the key elements in making bidding decisions.
STEP 4: Signing the Bid
Once you've received a bid, you have a few days to make a final decision on whether or not to join. During this time, be sure to ask any questions you may have and make sure greek life is right for you.
If you do choose to join, you must bring your unsigned blue bid card in to South Wayland Lounge during the assigned bid card turn-in nights. We'll keep you updated about the dates and times in the Spring.
By turning in your bid card, you are committing to forgo the Brown housing lottery to live in the Greek house that you are joining. This card official removes you from the brown housing lottery. make sure you have discussed housing with the house you are bidding before turning it in.
STEP 5: Pledging and New Member Education
The pledging process typically begins immediately following bid card turn-in. Some houses complete pledging in the Spring, while others continue pledging through the following Fall.
While each house maintains its own secretive rituals and traditions of pledging, Brown and Greek Council explicitly forbid any house from hazing.
The weekend following bid card turn-in also includes 'New Member Education,' a mandatory training session hosted by Greek Council. This seminar introduces new members to critical information about greek life and brings the required Social Management and Sexual Assualt Prevention sessions into one concise course specifically tailored for Greeks.
Brown Panhellenic Spring Recruitment
The recruitment process for sororities is managed the Brown's Panhellenic Council. Like the recruitment for co-eds and fraternities, the process is built for you to get to know the members of each house and make an educated decision about which house is best for you. The bidding and bid acceptance process is the same for sororities as all Greek houses, however, there are a few differences in recruitment. Check out the details below! For updates on the Spring 2012 Brown Panhellenic Recruitment, visit their facebook page here or email them at email@example.com.
Attend the Recruitment Kick-off
To go through the recruitment process, it is *mandatory* that you attend the Recruitment Kick-off and at least one formal party at each house (formal party nights are denoted with a ***). The Recruitment Kick-off is your first opportunity during Formal Recruitment to get to know the girls from both houses and to learn some of the rules of recruitment.
Info Session
The optional Info Session will provide you with more specific information on how the recruitment process works and the opportunity to ask any questions you may have before the first formal parties.
Before the first party of each formal night, two Phi Rho Chi (designated recruitment assistants) will be waiting at Wayland Arch to help you find your way to the parties. They will also be available to answer questions about the recruitment process.

The turbulent history of East Timor has made it something less than an optimum travel destination, but that doesn't mean that the determined traveler can't get in and around the country relatively easily and efficiently.
East Timor declared its independence from Portugal in 1975 and was invaded nine days later by Indonesia. None of the international powers stepped in to stop the take over, so from 1976 to 1999, East Timor was the provence Timor Timur. A genocide killed about a quarter of the population in that time and the country of East Timor has only been a democracy as we know it today since 2002, so things aren't quite perfectly stable for independent travelers yet.
What to do
East Timor is not the tourist hub with ancient ruins and artifacts like you'll find around other cities in South East Asia. The Portuguese castle in the capital city of Dili is one of the only cities that have any ancient structures left. Nearly all the buildings were destroyed by the civil war in 1999.
Luckily, East Timor's beautiful attraction was not destroyed. Travelers and tourists can enjoy the white sand beaches that line the country's coastline. The beaches outside of Dili are especially popular.
Getting there
Flights to East Timor's Dili International Airport, (DLL) go through Bali and Darwin Australia. The flights are not regular and fill up weeks ahead of time, so plan your trip well in advance.
Buses run between Kupang, West Timor, Indonesia and Dili, East Timor or various other buses from Dili that take you to the Indonesian border and then let you catch buses to a variety of destinations throughout West Timor.
Where to stay
Hotels in Dili are part of the local infrastructure and rooms are readily available. The rest of the country has far fewer accommodations for travelers. Fortunately for American visitors, US money is the common currency in East Timor and is accepted for all transactions.
