Open Vote
Why you should take a closer look at the Open Voting ConsortiumBy
Some issues facing the open source community are difficult to explain to outsiders, but some are problems the whole world faces. One issue most people care about is the right to vote. What does the right to vote have to do with open source software?
The Open Voting Consortium (OVC) is a group of experts devoted to ensuring that electronic voting systems remain auditable and open in future elections. This mission is actually quite consistent with the open source movement's focus on alerting the world to the problem of private companies controlling critical segments of the economy through proprietary software. In the case of the voting machine business, a few companies control a large portion of the industry, and no one really knows if their software has problems or not, since it isn't freely available for public review. And, as is often the case within the closed circles of closed source, proprietary hardware requires proprietary software, perpetuating a cycle of dependence that keeps the vendor in control.
The OVC identifies the following problems with the electronic voting industry:
- Black Box Secrecy: Computer programs that run election machines and tabulate results are secret and cannot be checked by the public. This invites corruption, and there is currently no way to assure accountability.
- Corporate Control: Large corporations like Diebold and ESS dominate electronic voting machine sales and control our voting software. These companies have a strong influence over processes for approving machines, and they often control whether testing results are even shared.
- No Paper Trail: Electronic voting terminals became popular after the hanging chad scandal in the 2000 US presidential election, but many machines purchased since then have no paper ballot, which makes accurate recounts impossible. Of votes cast in the November 2004 election, 30% were on machines that couldn't be audited.
- No Consistent Data to Check Results: In the US alone, there are 185,000 voting precincts and 800,000 voting machines. Most systems consist of technology cobbled together to minimally meet a patchwork of inconsistent requirements.
- Limited Access: Older style voting terminals posed major problems for the handicapped or the sight impaired. Touch screen voting systems partly remedy this problem but introduce a host of other problems.
The OVC proposes a comprehensive approach to addressing these issues. They have devised a complete system for fair and free electronic voting, and they have even built a prototype voting machine that embodies the project goals.
The open voting machine prints a summary paper ballot for every vote cast electronically. Voters can review their choices in the summary, and those who have difficulty reading can even listen to a spoken version of the summary (generated electronically and played through headphones). The summary paper ballots are placed in a secure ballot box, where they will serve as a cross-check and permanent record of the electronic tally.
Most important, the software used with the system is all open source. It will be subject to public review, it will be freely available to anyone who wants to use it, and it won't be controlled by proprietary interests.
The OVC is headed by a team of computer scientists. I have always thought it was quite a red flag that so many highly qualified professional computer experts are so decidedly under-enthusiastic about the whole concept of electronic voting, and yet, all too often, the warnings of these experts go unanswered. The well-known fiasco of the 2000 US presidential election and the more recent fiascos such as the 2004 vote count in Ohio make it obvious that something needs to happen – not just in the US, but in every democracy that depends on electronic voting devices.
I encourage anyone who embraces the ideals of freedom and open source software to visit the Open Voting Consortium.

Hiring Trends Favor Business, Technical Degree Holders|Southern Education Desk
3:09 minutes (2.88 MB) Download
|April 19, 2012|
As graduation nears, a national organization that tracks hiring trends of recent university graduates is ranking commercial and technological occupations as the top jobs for 2012.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers lists business majors, engineers and computer science technicians as being in the highest demand. That works well for those in disciplines at the top of the hiring spectrum, but graduates with other degrees may discover finding a job is a struggle.
ULM Computer Science Students
Gear Up for an Exam
Kayla Laney is giving her notes a last-minute perusal before she and her classmates take a computer science exam. Her hard work is paying off.
She will graduate from the University of Louisiana at Monroe's computer science program in August. And she's already found a job.
"I'm employed with Century Link corporate as a software developer on the BSS Ensemble team. I started out as an intern in my junior year and they hired me on as a temporary employee and, upon graduation, will actually hire me full time."
Computer Science Instructors, Employers Say Hires on the Rise
The National Association of Colleges and Employers puts computer science graduates in third place behind business and engineering as most likely to find work right out of college.
Jose Cordova is the chair of the computer science program at the University of Louisiana at Monroe's computer science program. He says graduates from his department are looking at rosy job prospects.
"I have been in this position for the past six or seven years. And I have noticed as of late a marked increase in demand for computer science majors. And it's not just a local demand, it's a nationwide trend."
Employers in this field agree that the need for software technicians is high.
Steve Miller is the Vice President of Software and Services – a company in Shreveport that designs computer programs for municipal governments. He's just hired two ULM graduates. Miller says they stand to make good money.
"I would imagine probably in the thirty-five to forty range is what I would guess. It's kind of a reasonable entry-level for our types of positions that we're talking about."
Of course not every graduating student is looking at similar employment opportunities.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers study ranks holders of liberal arts degrees as being less than half as likely to find work as those who have computer science degrees.
Liberal Arts Degree Holders Face Tougher Job Search
Hope Myers is getting set to graduate with a master's degree in English. She's unsure about job prospects.
"They're a little iffy. Originally, going into a master's program I wanted to teach college. And with all the budget cuts, of course, to education in all states it's looking a little dim."
But Myers is working at the process.
"I have sent in resumes out a couple of places but the problem is, is most people won't hire us directly. I may have the prospect of getting an adjunct position, but that may or may not pay maybe two thousand dollars per semester per class. And that's very dismal when you have student loans to pay and a family to support."
She says her job search might force her to move – far away.
"It almost looks like the only sure-fire way to get a position is if I teach abroad – an ESL program maybe in South Korea."
But job seekers from all disciplines should take heart.
ULM's Director for Career Connections, Roslynn Pogue says that if students carry forward the work ethic they brought to their studies to their employment search and stay the course, they'll eventually find work.
"For those of you that are still looking, do not give up. Be persistent, never give up, stay focused because that job's out there. You may not find it immediately, but that job is out there."
And some liberal arts graduates have better prospects than others. The Colleges and Employers study says those graduating with liberal arts degrees - in political science and psychology – are more likely to be hired than their peers.

Florida Paralegals Request State Licensing
by Harrison Barnes Follow Me on Google+
Like LawCrossing on Facebook
Florida State Senator Garrett Richter and state Representative Richard Steinberg have sponsored a new bill that, if passed, would have the Florida Supreme Court creating a route of higher education towards becoming licensed paralegals.
The Florida Alliance of Paralegal Associations is responsible for writing the bill. According to Law.com, the group is seeking to put a legal restriction over the paralegal title. They are concerned that legal secretaries are illegitimately identifying themselves as paralegals.
''We're a group of professionals that want to protect the integrity of the profession and feel legislation is the way to do that,'' said Mark Workman, a former president of the group. ''There are people out there that say to the public that they have those professional designations they don't have, and they dupe the public. We feel if we have the legislation in place, we'll have a means to avoid that and assist in defining who can and can't be a paralegal.''
Maryanne Downs, the president of the Florida Bar, is not backing the initiative, stating that there is already a sufficient process set up for identifying paralegals.
''We have a very successful paralegal registration program with The Florida Bar and have had a high number of participants,'' said Downs. ''We don't believe that this is the climate for additional regulation, nor do we feel that this is a necessary regulation. We understand legislation is often the starting place for talking points, and we welcome an opportunity to be a part of that discussion.''
Currently, in Florida, there is a voluntary certification for paralegals that is sponsored by the Florida Bar. It comes at a cost of $150 per year and must be obtained through a national association for paralegals.
According to Workman, the certification program is ''a cash cow for them.''
Workman said, ''None of the money is going to programs that assist paralegals or paralegal education. It's going back to the general fund of The Florida Bar.''

While some current members of Congress continue to rally for the prosecution of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, a long-serving United States senator has sent a letter of support to the NSA contractor-turned-whistleblower.
View full story
Senator Gordon Humphrey is a breadth of fresh air and a credit to his country for recognizing Snowdon,s whistle blowing of PRISM for what it is and I take my hat off to him for not being like the warmongering Senators who are responsible for the murder of innocent people all over the World because of Obamas war like interventionist policies and arming cannibal rebels in Syria.
There's a strange silence after this NSA scandal. I hope we don't get another explosion somewhere!
Good to know that at one time Congress actually sdhered to, and believed in, the Constituion.
Amen! History will confirm this...
Ask the vachinese to draw something bad onto world map
We need more Snowdens and fewer Obamas and other users of humanity!
The Government is upset it's underhanded actions were exposed. NSA has your banking info...all of it
Not every American are redneck,nasty hackers, there plenty of decent people,just look around you .
this screenshot from his 2010 cooment of healthcare reform... irrelevant.....
MSM is only trusted by low information voters. Smart Americans use alternative media sources.
The thing about ''people waking up'' is that NO ONE is going to see this.
MSM is NOT reporting it.
You see what Snowden has to go through to protect & defend the Constitution? And all my so-called "friends" dismiss my poor/poverty existance to being lazy & stupid! You have your reward!
Snowden spoke out against violations of the US Rule of law, americans are waking up
One way of supporting ES, Manning & Assange is to expose in our numbers such criminal activities taking place within institutions funded by tax payers & clandestine organizations, if we are in a position to do so. It will not be possible to imprison & torture people if we come out in our multitudes.

Interesting video footage of a dark daytime UFO sighting recorded over Santiago, Argentina on 21st April 2014.
Witness said:
On April 21st, Luis Gomez, a resident of the neighborhood "8 de abril" in Capitol City of Santiago del Estero (Argentina), was at home that afternoon when suddenly looked up "looking at the sky and saw a black circle in the air as if it were the outline of a ship, which it moved slowly for two minutes before disappearing. "
Without hesitate, went inside his house to find his video camera and managed to record footage of the alleged UFO.
"It is clear that it is a flying saucer, though I zoomed too much the camera, it´s clearly a UFO. I recorded it around 18:15 and I lost it to the southeast, Ienjoyed it, it was a very pretty picture "Luis Gomez told Diario Panorama.

Astrup Company - 5/15/2007Astrup Adds New Colors to Weathertyte Line
CLEVELAND, OH (May 15, 2007) – Weathertyte, a truly weatherproof material, is now available in 20 color
choices, with the addition of six alluring new colors to Astrup's offerings. Designed for use in awning and sign
applications, Weathertyte has the look and feel of a decorative fabric, with all the weather-resistant properties
of a high performance composite vinyl substrate. Manufactured by Cooley Sign & Awning Products, the fabric
is now available in Beige, Coral, Mauve, Platinum, Slate Blue and Terracotta Red.
Weathertyte has built a reputation for being durable and beautiful at the same time. While projecting the
appearance of a woven fabric, this vinyl-coated polyester with its acrylic topcoat lacks the weaknesses that
can often affect a fabric's performance and appearance. The fabric resists sagging better than woven acrylic,
is waterproof and resists stains and mold.
Designed for a variety of awning applications, including residential, retail, restaurant, hospitality and office
buildings, Weathertyte is flame resistant, easy to handle and heat sealable. The fabric is 16 ounces per square
yard, available in a 74-inch width, and is backed by an eight-year manufacturer's limited warranty.

Born in St. Boniface, Manitoba, Hughes starred with the hometown Canadians of the MJHL. In 1959-60 he enjoyed a fine rookie season as a pro with 35 goals for the St. Paul Saints of the IHL. He continued to produce as a minor league for several years and was placed on the WHL second all-star team after helping the Seattle Totems win a championship in 1967.
In June 1967, Hughes was claimed by the LA Kings in the Expansion Draft and was a decent two-way worker for nearly three years. His best season was 1968-69 when he scored 16 goals playing on a line with Howie Menard and Bob Wall. In 1970-71, Hughes began a five-year stretch in the minors before retiring in 1975. The high point in this stage of his career was being placed on the WHL first all-star team after scoring 41 goals for the Portland Buckaroos in 1973-74.

Hey Jeff,
Is the climate control panel lighting up? Look at the fuse box at the right side of the dash and remove and install the fuse labeled "CCM", (Climate Control Module". See if this resets the module.

Nursing school and my biological clock...pls reply if you can - page 2
Hi everyone. I was accepted into an ABSN program which I am suppose to begin this fall. It's a one year program. When I start the program I will be 31 years old and when I finish I will be 32. I guess my main concern is after I... Read More
- 0Feb 27, '13 by TallSNMe personally, would finish school. You're almost there. Since ur program is only a year, u should complete it. if u were still taking prereqs, i wouldn't wait. im still taking prereqs, and i just had a baby 4 months ago Once u land a job u can get pregnant, if they have 50 employees or more, I believe they have to allow u family leave. U will probably be around 33 when u start trying to conceive, which isn't too old. No one is guaranteed to conceive even when they are younger. However, our fertility does decline after age 35, so I wouldn't wait too long.
- 0Feb 28, '13 by 45whenimdonei had my first kid at 31 and my last at 39. (4 total)... you can graduate and still work a good 4-5 years before you have a kid... pending on how many you want... that's my 2 cents.
- 0Feb 28, '13 by learningmomI wrote this amazing reply but pressed on the wrong button! aargh
Alright here's the thing.
1 - Nursing school is an educational bootcamp. If you have the choice of pursuing it with or without responsibility(kids). I say get it out of the way 1st. Then enjoy your family planning together as a couple. You can read tons of threads about moms with guilt trips and stress overload whilst pursuing school with young kids.
2 - IF you feel you can wait for your school. Then by all means get started and build yourself a beautiful family. Remember now in my opinion it is ideal to stay home with kids for atleast ages of 2-3 yrs old. You can consider care providers after that. This scenario provides many good things too (believe it or not) Because now you have more reasons to succeed and be focused to build your career.
Remember a happy mom is a healthy mom. I say write down pros and cons for both decisions. Once you lean towards more, then take out another sheet of paper and write down all the reasons why you have chosen that option. Also end it with a positive note like, 'I am happy with my decision and have no regrets.' This way you can have a sense of control, in case you go in confusion and emo mode.
Hope this helps!
Mom of 2 (about to start nursing school)
- 0Feb 28, '13 by TrenataI saw your post a while back and wanted to reply, but I was unsure if I should say what think. I really think you need to decide what your priorities are based on your own personal goals. If having a family is it, then why wait - if being a nurse is more important, go for that first. However, there are no guarantees...
I have a different perspective. You never know what the future will hold is for sure! I had several losses (miscarriages) and one ectopic pregnancy. If I knew what I know now, I would have tried having babies sooner. However, I waited until I was 30 and was blessed with one child. It was important to me to have a family, more than anything else. So I regret not trying sooner. However, all to say, not having a big family is what lead me to a different path - NURSING...so that is my new goal.
Just a bit of a different perspective to consider. Good luck on your journey and decision!
- 0Feb 28, '13 by bubblejet50I found out I pregnant 2 weeks before we graduated. I was the 9th person in our class to get pregnant. I will say if you take nclex right away and land a job its not too bad. I graduated in may, took nclex in july, and got my current job in september. I was off probation bit had barely any pto saved and didnt qualify for fmla when I had my baby in january. I only took 2 wks off because the benefits are great here and I didnt want to lose them. We started trying when we did because my husband had only a 2% chance of having kids. We wanted to get our year of trying done so we could seek fertility treatment. 2 months later I was pregnant!

Blessedly Humbled
I came here a few weeks ago because I caught fire from the vision expressed in this community. I didn't really expect much, though, and I was open to anything.
Now, getting more of my feet wet here by slowly interacting and doing my tasks as volunteer listener, all the while reading the posts here too, I am feeling like I've stumbled upon a magnificent treasure! The stories and the sharing of all the wonderful, intelligent, right-spirited and big-hearted women (and man--so far, I've only read one man's posts) here are awesomely inspiring.
I came here mainly expecting to give and share (as volunteer listener), but now I am finding out that I am receiving even more than what I am still about to give!
Thank you, all!
(What took me so long to get here? I wonder now.)
I am humbled reading your post. Your sincerity and honesty! I am happy that you are enjoying pulsewire. My life has changed so much positively ever since I joined Pulsewire.

Re: Advisory Opinion; Public Records; Employee Personnel Information; N.C.G.S. 126-22 and 126-23
Office of the Attorney General
State of North Carolina
March 18, 1997
RE: Advisory Opinion; Public Records; Employee Personnel Information;
N.C.G.S. §§ 126-22 and 126-23
Ms. Janice Faulkner
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
1100 New Bern Avenue
Raleigh, North Carolina 27697-0001
Dear Commissioner Faulkner:
You ask our advice concerning a public records request for a list of employees or
former employees of the Department of Motor Vehicles who are receiving disability
income. You advise that such a list is available. The only information it provides
is the name of the individual and the amount of money he or she is receiving as
disability income. It gives no particulars as to the type of disability or the
reasons why the individual was placed on disability. For reasons which follow,
such a list is a public record which should be released.
N.C.G.S. §126-22 provides that the "(p)ersonnel files of State employees, former
State employees, or applicants for State employment shall not be subject to the
inspection and examination (as public records) as authorized by G.S. 132-6." This
section then defines what personnel file information consists of. For purposes
of this Article, a personnel file consists of any information gathered by the
department, division, bureau, commission, council, or other agency subject to
Article 7 of this Chapter which employs an individual, previously employed an
individual, or considered an individual's application for employment, or by the
office of State Personnel, and which information relates to the individual's
application, selection or nonselection, promotions, demotions, transfers, leave,
salary, suspension, performance evaluation forms, disciplinary actions, and
termination of employment wherever located and in whatever form. N.C.G.S. §126-22.
The General Assembly, recognizing that some information about state employees
and former state employees should be made available as public record information,
mandated that certain information contained in a personnel file shall be open
to inspection as a public record. N.C.G.S. §126-23 provides, in pertinent part,
as follows: Each department, agency, institution, commission and bureau of
the State shall maintain a record of each of its employees, showing the following
information with respect to each such employee: name, age, date of original
employment or appointment to the State service, current position, title,
current salary, date and amount of most recent increase or decrease in salary,
date of most recent promotion, demotion, transfer, suspension, separation,
or other change in position classification, and the office or station to which
the employee is currently assigned.
In 1988 the North Carolina General Assembly established the Disability Income
Plan of North Carolina. See, Article 6 of Chapter 135 of the North Carolina
General Statutes. This Plan is administered by the North Carolina Department
of State Treasurer and the Board of Trustees of the Teachers' and State
Employees' Retirement System within the terms and conditions of the Plan as
set forth in Article 6. The Plan was established to provide an equitable
replacement income for eligible state teachers and state employees who
become temporarily or permanently disabled for the performance of their
duty prior to retirement and to encourage disabled state teachers and
state employees who are able to work to seek gainful employment after a
reasonable period of rehabilitation. The Plan further provides for the
accrual of retirement and other benefits to the date the eligible state
teacher or state employee meets the requirements for an unreduced retirement
under the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System.
*2 The General Assembly has provided in N.C.G.S. §126-23 that the salary
of a state employee or former employee is a matter of public record. The
word "salary" has broadly been defined by our State Supreme Court to
include retirement benefits. See, Bridges v. City of Charlotte,
221 N.C. 472, 482 (1942). It is our opinion, therefore, that the word
"salary" includes disability income. Moreover, although N.C.G.S. §126-23
does not specifically state that being in the status of receiving
disability income is a matter of public record, that statute requires
the employer to provide as public record information the "date of most
recent promotion, demotion, transfer, suspension, separation, or other
change in position classification, and the office or station to which the
employee is currently assigned." We believe that an employee's status as
receiving "disability income" fits within the meaning of "or other change
in position classification," and the "office or station to which the
employee is currently assigned," as stated in N.C.G.S. §126-23.
In conclusion, assuming that the Department of Motor Vehicles has a record
which lists the names and salary of those individuals on disability
retirement, that list is a public record which must be disclosed.
Andrew A. Vanore, Jr.
Chief Deputy Attorney General

410 Bury to Coombs
Letter (extract), CANBERRA, 11 February 1948
During the week I had about half an hour with Chif[ley] after going to see him for a supposed two minutes about the parliamentary programme. He talked of many things. He is rather worried over the Charter and thinks it is going to be very difficult to sell it. On the tariff schedules, however, he is very confident. A letter has come from Attlee on European economic co-operation[1] which has sharpened his interest in the European Customs Union discussions. Given sufficient political impetus from above, something might emerge. The mature countries of Europe can hardly like the idea of being playthings for U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. indefinitely, however many dollars Molotov[2] succeeds in providing for their recovery. Unless they band together to a greater extent and win some support from the Dominions, this is likely to be their lot ... I can't help feeling that economically the development would suit us. It would be a deficit area for most of our export products and if prosperous would be an immensely bigger market than U.S.A. Nutrition over wide parts leaves scope for great improvement while the population is, or easily could be, very nutrition conscious. With such a prospect, existing margins or preference seem a trivial issue. At this end preference is either phoney or entails paying more than we need for essential imports. Culturally the new links would open us to wider influences than at present which would be all to the good.

A key Russian envoy said he expects the outlines of a long-term deal for Iran's nuclear program to emerge from high-level talks next week.
"As a result of this round, we should at least get some elements of the agreed text and elements of the common text," Reuters reported Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying in a Tuesday report.
Ryabkov was referring to negotiations to be held in Vienna next week between Iran and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany. The talks are aimed at hammering out a long-term agreement that would allay global concerns that Tehran's nuclear program could be used to produce atomic weapons. Iran maintains it has no such plans.
Under any deal, Iran must modify its nuclear program in exchange for relief from international sanctions. An interim agreement granting Iran access to some previously blocked assets expires on July 20.
"For now, there is no common [text] whatsoever," Ryabkov said. "So if we get such an option, this would be a good result."
Reuters cites issue experts as being upbeat about the prospects for finding common ground. One key remaining obstacle, however, is the scope of any uranium-enrichment program that Iran is allowed to keep.
Internally, Iran's government has come under pressure from conservative hard-liners for cooperating with global powers on a deal, Al-Monitor reported.

Christopher Taylor posted this image on his Catalogue of Organisms blog, and it has raised a little controversey about the details. The intent is that the relative size of each organism in the image is representative of the number of species in that group. So the large fly represents the huge number of insect species. Towards that intent, I believe the image succeeds, but I have read some disagreement about the specific numbers used to develop the image.
Two very similar images with some differences are also available. One from the University of Sydney:
In case you're wondering where the mammals are, we're represented by the reindeer cowering underneath the mushroom.
And another on from Cornell University: (this link wasn't working for me)
No matter which is exactly correct (and there's no way to tell), you get the point how small number of species of mammals are compared to the others.

The BBC online has a site dedicated to charting food prices around the world called : The cost of food: Facts and figures. Mostly simple charts, but they've found a handful of really good information. They could make these prettier, but they get the message across. Each chart tells a simple story.
Gerd Arntz (1900-1988) was a German artist with a political activist focus. Many of his infographics, as well as his Isotype project to create a universal set of icons for signs, are available at www.gerdarntz.org. This infographic poster shows the New York City population explosion from 25,000 in 1767 to 9.5 million in 1930.
Great story from 37signals.com about a very simple infographic that motivated Bill and Melinda Gates to change the focus of their charity spending.
"No graphic in human history has saved so many lives in Africa and Asia," says NY Times columnist Nicholas Kristof about an infographic in a '97 Times article that spurred Bill and Melinda Gates to take action on public health.
...But then bill confessed that actually it wasn't the article itself that had grabbed him so much—it was the graphic. It was just a two column, inside graphic, very simple, listing third world health problems and how many people they kill. but he remembered it after all those years and said that it was the single thing that got him redirected toward public health.

There is a picture I have in my mind that captures an important facet of childhood. Its caption reads: "Small Human With Marble In Nose." We trot this image out at family gatherings—there is surely a relative on hand who was once such a Small Human—to illustrate the pleasant idea that children, at their most endearing and most exasperating, are explorers/inventors/geniuses in miniature. By this school of thought, jamming a small object up one's nose is just a foray into The Scientific Method gone a bit awry.
But imagine this picture as a cartoon. Get rid of baby Einstein's precocious smile, add in a runny nostril (the unobstructed one), and rewrite the caption: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST?
This is not just a joke. Developmental and evolutionary psychologists study babies very seriously because they believe that the not-quite-clean slates of baby brains can give us surprising insight into our evolutionary pasts. They reason that the early history of an individual human's mind is a sort of analogy to the early history of all humankind. Because infant minds have not yet been shaped by the empirical world around them, their behavior is largely the product of elemental hard-wiring in the brain—the kind of circuitry that dates all the way back to our days as hunter-gatherers. In short, all the newfangled nurture of hip mommies and daddies has not yet taken hold in these minds, which leaves scientists with an unusually clear view of very old-fashioned nature.
A study published last week in the journal Cognition by a team of Yale researchers deployed this line of analysis and produced a headline that no doubt caught the eye of many Baby Bjorn-toting parents: Babies Reluctant to Grab Plants. The study reported that infant subjects took much longer to touch plants than a variety of other objects.
The study's lead author, Annie Wertz, wants to be clear about what this research is not: "We are in no way claiming that infants can be left alone with plants or anything like that," she says. She reels off this caveat dutifully because she wants to discuss what truly interests her about these latest findings. Wertz's radical hypothesis is that babies' wariness toward plants is a remnant of an ancient survival mechanism.
For our ancestors, plants were both essential (a well-gathered meal, a well-thatched roof, etcetera), and deadly (an ill-advised snack in the woods, a mis-measured herbal remedy). But dangerous plants don't announce themselves in any obvious way: They don't gnash their teeth or flash their claws, and they definitely don't chase you through the forest. For Wertz, this sets up "a really interesting learning problem." You live in the midst of one leafy green thing after another, but you have no idea which ones are safe for dinner.
"If we only ate one thing, then you could imagine that maybe there would be some kind of program for identifying that specific thing. But our diets are very broad, and humans live in a wide range of environments. So each individual human, when they are born, has to solve the problem of which plants in this particular environment are the dangerous ones, and which are the edible ones."
Wertz had read about the strategies that other creatures use to navigate this difficult cost-benefit analysis. There are simple physiological mechanisms that help: for example, chemicals in the guts of many animals will break down plant toxins. And there are more impressive behavioral mechanisms, too. Some animals have learned to merely nibble at plants they are trying for the first time. That way, even if the plant turns out to be hazardous, they've only ingested a Whole Foods-sized sample.
According to Wertz's hypothesis, what wound up working best for early humans was what she calls a "social learning mechanism." Hunter-gatherers mostly played it safe, avoiding plants until they could reliably figure out if they were edible or not. The most helpful clues, it turns out, came from each other: If Mom eats parsley, you can too.
For humans today, Wertz thinks something astonishingly similar applies. Babies are reluctant to engage with plants, until they pick up social cues from the people around them that indicate whether it's okay to do so.

Man charged with arson in house fire
A Hammond man has been charged with arson in a house fire discovered early Sunday morning in Hammond.
Jorrell Brian Jackson, 27, of the 800 block of Morris Avenue, is accused of deliberately setting a fire by the back door of the home of a man with whom he'd gotten into a fight the previous evening.
The man told police he saw Jackson near his home in the 1000 block of 175th Street at about 1 a.m. Sunday. The man and his cousin went outside to the front of the house, fearing that Jackson might want to start something, the probable cause affidavit states. The man told officers he saw Jackson come from behind the house as the man's mother opened the front door. Jackson spoke briefly to the man and his cousin, then left.
At about 5:30 a.m., the smoke alarm sounded and the man's parents told him someone had set fire to the back door of the house.
Police obtained surveillance images from a nearby gas station about 15 minutes before the fire showing Jackson making a purchase.
After learning of the fire, the cousin told police he saw Jackson standing near a gas station at 175th Street and Columbia Avenue and confronted Jackson. The cousin said he smelled a strong odor of gasoline coming from his clothing.
A fire department investigator found the fire had been set with an accelerant, probably gasoline, court records state.
Cars towed from apartment complexes
Police towed 69 cars and issued 73 tickets during an investigation of out-of-state license plate violations, Chief Brian Miller said. The traffic and community affairs divisions visited apartment complexes in the city and compared registration plates to leaseholder names provided by the apartment managers.
If residents were present during the inspection, they were issued tickets and their cars were not towed, but others received the reciprocity violation notice when they retrieved their cars, Miller said.
"I'm very proud of Lt. (Patrick) Vicari and all the efforts of our traffic division," Miller said.
East Chicago
Man accused of beating 3-year-old
Neglect of a dependent and battery charges have been filed in Lake Superior court against an East Chicago man accused of "whooping" a 3-year-old, leaving welts, lacerations and bruises on her body.
Lawrence J. Watson, 27, told police he struck the child with his hand at first, then hit her with a belt. Watson's girlfriend, the child's mother, said she had left Watson to watch her children while she went to work. The girl had soiled herself earlier, and the mother disciplined her. Watson sent the mother a text that he had "whooped" the girl because she had done the same thing again.
The girl and the mother's other children were removed from the home and placed at the Carmelite Home in East Chicago.
The charges are punishable by a maximum eight-year sentence.

Guard Nate Robinson knew the fallout was coming.
In the 100-94 victory Tuesday over the Milwaukee Bucks, Robinson threw a pass off the backboard for a Jimmy Butler dunk on a breakaway in the second quarter.
Robinson knew coach Tom Thibodeau wasn't happy with the play, and he expected to get the call into the principal's office even though he said, ''I ain't going to do it again.''
"Yeah, we talked about it,'' Thibodeau said. "Obviously I didn't like the play. I like the unselfishness, though, and I told him that. I liked the fact that he saw Jimmy coming down, and he wanted to drop it off to him and let him score. Other than that play, I thought he did a lot of good things for us. I just want him to channel that the right way. I want him to make winning basketball plays, and I want that to be first and foremost, and I think it's important to respect the game.''
Robinson's belief that flashy plays get a team's energy going is hard for Thibodeau to accept.
"The plays that are uniting and inspire your team are winning plays,'' Thibodeau said. "I thought he made a lot of winning plays in the game. The intention was right; he was unselfish. He saw Jimmy coming but just turn around, drop it off and let him lay it in.''
All is quiet
Forward/center Taj Gibson remained hopeful that a deal could be worked out with the Bulls before the Oct. 31 deadline, reiterating that Chicago was where he wanted to stay.
If an extension can't be done before the deadline, Gibson becomes a restricted free agent at the end of the season with the Bulls having to decide to match any offer sheet thrown in his direction.
Around the rim
Guard Kirk Hinrich was back at practice Thursday after missing Tuesday's game with a sore right thumb.
† Center Kyrylo Fesenko was waived, bringing the roster down to 15.
