The Mosquito Man: Stepping Down
But then again medical entomologist Robert Washino isn't "most people."
Washino, emeritus professor and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and former associate dean of the UC Davis College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, has just completed 38 years of service as a trustee of the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District (SYMVC) Governing Board.
And after 38 years, he's retiring from the board.
Washino has served longer than any other trustee in the history of the board. Indeed, that's almost four decades. The Davis City Council appointed him as the city's representative to the mosquito abatement board in 1973. It's a big district. The district covers 2000 square miles in Yolo and Sacramento counties.
The SYMVC board honored him at its Dec. 13th meeting, held in the district headquarters, Elk Grove, with a proclamation for his "exemplary public service and dedication to public health." Next, the Davis City Council will present a proclamation at its meeting beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20 in the Community Chambers, 23 Russell Blvd.
Washino, now 79, served as president of the board five times during his tenure.
The SYMVC laboratory/library is named in his honor. Washino gifted his entire collection of mosquito-related books and journals, photographs and slides to the district for research and teaching purposes.
Internationally known for his expertise on mosquitoes, "Dr. Washino brought a perspective to the board that is difficult to replace," SYMVC Manager David Brown said. "He is known worldwide for his work on mosquitoes and public health and bringing that knowledge to the district has provided a level of service that is hard to match. Without his guidance and tutelage, I am sure our program would not be as effective as it is today."
One of the highlights of his career occurred in 2005 when he received the international Harry Hoogstraal Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Medical Entomology for his work on the ecology of mosquitoes and mosquito control agents.
He also has a mosquito named for him: Aedes washinoi.
"It's a tiny one," he says.
So, Bob Washino, mosquito man extraordinaire, is stepping down. We're not sure, though, that he can ever totally step down.
He has too much public service in his heart.

A World Without Mosquitoes?
An article in the July 21st edition of Nature asked that very question.
Author Janet Fang, an intern in Nature's Washington, D.C., office, wrote that "Malaria infects some 247 million people worldwide each year, and kills nearly one million. Mosquitoes cause a huge further medical and financial burden by spreading yellow fever, dengue fever, Japanese encephaltis, Rift Valley fever, Chikungunya virus and West Nile virus."
So, how about a world without mosquitoes? "Would anyone or anything miss them?" she asked.
Fang went on to ask scientists that very question. But the fact is, they're here and they're not going anywhere--except over here to bite us.
Meanwhile, over in the UC Davis Department of Entomology, two graduate students just received William Hazelton Memorial Fellowship Awards to further their mosquito research.
Tara Thiemann (top photo), a doctoral candidate studying with major professor William Reisen, received $2100 for her statewide research on bloodfeeding patterns of Culex mosquitoes. She studies both urban and rural populations of mosquitoes and their host meals.
Jenny Carlson (bottom photo), an incoming doctoral student who will be studying with major professor Anthony 'Anton' Cornel, received $2000 for her research on avian malaria parasites.
Thiemann's project involves analyzing the blood meals of Culex mosquitoes to identify specific host species--research important toward understanding both the maintenance and epidemic transmission of the West Nile virus.The award memorializes William "Bill" Hazeltine (1926-1994), who managed the Lake County Mosquito Abatement District from 1961-64 and the Butte County Mosquito Abatement District from 1966-1992. He was an ardent supporter of the judicious use of public health pesticides to protect public health. He continued work on related projects until his death in 1994.
Hazeltine studied entomology in the UC Berkeley graduate program from 1950-53, and received his doctorate in entomology from Purdue University in 1962.
UC Davis medical entomologist Bruce Eldridge eulogized Hazeltine at the 2005 American Mosquito Control Association conference. His talk, "William Emery Hazelton II--Rebel With a Cause," was later published in the Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association. (See PDF)
It's good to know that Hazeltine's cause lives on through his family's generosity.
Culex mosquitoes
The SWAT Team
Chemical ecologist Walter Leal, professor and former chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, and his postdoctoral researcher Zain Syed have done it again.
In August of 2008, they discovered the secret mode of the insect repellent, DEET. In groundbreaking research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), they found that DEET doesn't mask the smell of the host (that would be you and me), nor does DEET jam the insect's senses.
Mosquitoes CAN indeed smell DEET. They avoid it because they don't like the odor.
Then on Monday, Leal and Syed published more groundbreaking research, also in PNAS. They identified the dominant compound that attracts Culex mosquitoes to both birds and humans.
It's a compound called nonanal, naturally produced in birds and humans. This not only explains the host shift from birds to humans, but paves the way for key developments in mosquito and disease control.
Infected Culex mosquitoes transmit life-threatening diseases, including West Nile virus. Since 1999, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recorded 29,397 human cases and 1,147 fatalities in the United States alone.
"Nonanal is how they find us," Leal said. "The antennae of the Culex quinquefasciatus are highly developed to detect even extremely low concentrations of nonanal."
Researchers from throughout the country this week praised their work.
Yale University professor John Carlson, a leading scientist in insect olfaction, described the study as "exciting with important implications for the intriguing question of how mosquitoes find the humans they bite."
"Leal and Syed have identified a human odor that is detected with great sensitivity by the antennae of mosquitoes that transmit West Nile virus," Carlson said. "In addition to its scientific interest, the study may have important practical applications in the control of these mosquitoes and the diseases they carry."
Chemical ecologist Coby Schal, a professor at North Carolina State University, described the research as representing "some of the best research on insect olfaction that I have ever read. By combining trapping experiments in the field with careful characterization of the response profiles of antennal and maxillary sensilla of Culex mosquitoes, Syed and Leal show not only that the combination of carbon dioxide and nonanal is an important beacon for blood-seeking mosquitoes, but also that a large fraction of the sensilla on the mosquito's nose (antennae) is dedicated to the detection of nonanal at incredibly low concentration.
"Such high sensitivity of olfactory receptor neurons to nonanal – rivaling the response characteristics of pheromone responsive neurons – suggests that nonanal has played an important role in the evolution of host-finding and host-preferences in Culex mosquitoes," Schal said. "This is a truly exceptional achievement by the outstanding Syed/Leal team, but in step with their previous outstanding contributions on a wide range of arthropods."
More information on the Leal lab research is on the Department of Entomology Web page.
Leal, a newly elected Fellow of the Entomological Society of America (he's one of 10 entomologists to be so honored this year) and Syed, named one of the top post-doctoral researchers at UC Davis this year, have indeed done it again.
When you think of all the havoc that mosquito-borne diseases have wreaked, this is the kind of research that definitely deserves a round of applause.
Dr. Leal and Dr. Syed are a highly efficient and effective SWAT team.
Walter Leal and Zain Syed
Culex Mosquito
Mosquito Heaven
Chemical ecologist Zain Syed of the Walter Leal lab, University of California, Davis, knows just where to find mosquitoes for his research.
Rice fields.
He's been collecting up to 3000 mosquitoes a night along the Yolo Causeway, located on Interstate 80 between Davis and West Sacramento. The Yolo basin is home to the Vic Fazio Yolo Wildlife Area.
It's easy to catch mosquitoes.Syed is using carbon-dioxide traps to capture host-seeking mosquitoes. The female skeeters are seeking a blood meal (you, if you're around there). His traps entice them to "come on in."
"Once mosquitoes are lured to the vicinity," Syed says, "a suction fan traps them and sends them to the sleeve, a mesh bag that holds mosquitoes."
The mesh bag below holds 2000 mosquitoes. They are mostly Culex tarsalis, but also some Culex pipiens.
Culex mosquitoes are known for transmitting West Nile virus.
Syed and Leal are known for uncovering the mode of action for DEET, the chemical insect repellent used by more than 200 million people worldwide. Their groundbreaking research last year found that DEET doesn't jam a mosquito's senses or mask the smell of the host, as scientists previously thought for some 50 years. Mosquitoes avoid DEET because it smells bad to them.
Syed recently won one of two coveted campuswide awards for excellence in postdoctoral research from a field of 800 postdocs.
But other fields--rice fields--have always drawn his attention.
That's where the skeeters are.
Zain Syed
A Damsel Not in Distress
They're as long and thin as darning needles. And, sometimes they're as difficult to find as a needle in the proverbial haystack.
These slender, frail-looking insects (below) are damselflies. They fly around ponds and streams and perch on plants near the shoreline. As adults, they prey on flying insects such as mosquitoes and gnats, and in turn, they're preyed upon by dragonflies, other insects, and birds. Occasionally a spider snares one in its web.
Anglers consider them good luck, especially when these brightly colored insects touch down on their fishing lines.
Like dragonflies, damselflies are members of the Odonata order. Their suborder is Zygoptera--in case anybody asks!
Retired entomologist Jerry Powell of UC Berkeley estimates California has about 40 species of damseslflies.
I saw one damselfly, probably the common bluet, checking out our backyard fish pond last weekend before perching on a tower-of -jewels leaf.
Another one was flitting about the Yolo Causeway last year while a UC Davis researcher was trapping mosquitoes.
Another skeeter-catcher.
Neither looked like a damsel in distress. In fact, they looked quite predaceous.
Especially to skeeters.

As an intern at a local middle school. I used this recipe with a group of kids and it aired on a local tv show. We had the school children cook healthy recipes and help be a part of the process of choosing new healthy menu items to replace some unhealthy ones. IT was easy to cook and the kids enjoyed it. They loved it so much that we added it to the new school lunch menu as a permanent item.
It's tangy. Easy. And canola oil tastes just as good as olive and cheaper for school lunch budget. Also the marjoram adds a nice simple cool flavor that balances out all of the acid from the balsamic. Its just great! I ve made it several times and people who dont normally like cauliflower, love it! TIP: Add a little more olive oil and balsamic or even some water. Otherwise it can be a bit too dry. I add 1/8 cup water and 1/4 cup more balsamic and 1/8 cup more oil to juice it up.

Of Privacy and Poop: Norm Enforcement Via the Blogosphere Daniel Solove
All the more reason why we need to rethink old notions of privacy. Under existing notions, privacy is often thought of in a binary way – something either is private or public. According to the general rule, if something occurs in a public place, it is not private. But a more nuanced view of privacy would suggest that this case involved taking an event that occurred in one context and significantly altering its nature – by making it permanent and widespread.
Such a contextual approach to privacy is elaborated in Helen Nissenbaum's "Privacy as Contextual Integrity" (PDF). Also, you might be interested in this study on " Bloggers' Expectations of Privacy and Accountability"
For those interested in further discussion about this issue, there are a number of interesting posts and comments over at PrawfsBlawg:

This sort of problem is hardly unique to the blogosphere. Consider the hapless Steve Bartman, who had the misfortune to catch a ball at a baseball game. He was blamed for the Cubs' loss of the game, which would have put them in the World Series for the first time since 1945, and perhaps their first championship since 1909. People made death threats against the guy. He survived and still lives and works in the Chicago area. See http://tinyurl.com/b84g5

2000 ls 3.0 missfire
toomanyfumes S.E. Wisconsin Posts: 905
luxary_ls_2000 Posts: 1I had this experience before and was fixed by my mechanic but it was very expensive, once I found out what the problem was, I was upset because I could of fix the problem myself, it was easy.
The problem that is causing your misfiring are your "ignition coils" you may have an oil leak, that leaks through the coils and oils up your spark plugs which causes a bad combustion when the electric current runs through and causes really bad misfiring and seem like your car wants to die, choke, or lose power.
If the misfiring is really bad, it causes your whole car to stop and you cannot turn it back on, maybe sometime after about 3 to 5 minutes then turn it back on, but it will continue to do that until the "Ignition Coils and "spark plugs" are replaced.
But I think you can do it yourself, just remove the cover where the "Ignition Coils" are at and disconnect the wiring that connects the "Ignition Coils" just unscrew the wiring cables aside, then you can remove the "Ignition coils" with your very own hands, just pull them out, after you pull them out use a Rachet and the proper socket and remove the "Spark Plugs" if there is any oil leaks just clean out the slots where the "Spark Plugs" go in. After doing all that replace all components with new parts. The "Ignition coils" may be a bit expensive, they run up like about $50.00 dollars a piece.
But since I had a mechanic do it for me he charged me $150.00 dollars each for "ONLY" the ignition coils, plus new spark plugs and all labor, my cost came up just a little over $1,500.00 dollars.
But to make sure they are the ignition coils see if they have oil leaks or oil on them, (the ignition coils and the spark plugs should not have oil on them,) and check all of them, because if one is bad then the car won't run evenly and if you change only one, there is a very good chance it will be back the way it was, they all must be replaced at the same time, to have a good smooth ride and fire combustion and have the same fire power. If you change one "Ignition coil" then the car will want to run off the newer "Ignition Coil and the spark plug" which I did first and it was a bad idea, then I had to go back to the mechanic and replace all of them.
So this is a warning.
Just check the "ignition coils & spark plugs" and if they look fine then ignore this response it could be a different problem.
But I had major problems with misfiring and I finally got it fixed and I'm happy with it, it's been 3 years now and no problems yet.
Also I tried to replace just the spark plugs, but that was not it. The problem came back after a week later, but I notice my "Ignition Coils" were all oiled up which was bad.
So just check these problems first and good luck. This will save you a bundle of cash...!!!$$$ -

The redesigned 2014 GMC Sierra and Sierra Denali add a new-generation of IntelliLink connectivity, a customizable eight-inch touch screen, Forward Collision Alert, and lane departure warning. GMC has also updated the truck's powertrains for improved fuel efficiency by adding cylinder deactivation as standard equipment while increasing power and torque...Read more
The 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 is a full-size truck sold in three trim levels, cab styles and box lengths in rear- or four-wheel drive configurations. GMC also offers the Sierra Denali, which includes an exterior styling kit with a Denali chrome grille and 20-inch chrome wheels.
The 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 is available with three engines: a 4.3-liter V-6 producing 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque, a 4.3-liter V-8 making 355 hp and 383 lb-ft, and a 6.2-liter V-8 rated at 420 hp and 460 lb-ft paired to a six-speed automatic. Fuel economy is competitive for the class with rear-drive V-6 models rated at 18/24 mpg city/highway while opting for four-wheel drive drops those numbers down to 17/22 mpg. V-8 equipped trucks range between 15-16/ 20-22 mpg depending on the drivetrain configuration and the size of the engine chosen. The 2014 Sierra 1500's towing capabilities are also impressive with a maximum capacity of 12,000 pounds with the 6.2-liter V-8.
Despite looking like the previous generation's interior, the 2014 Sierra 1500's cabin is loaded with technology including a new generation of GM's IntelliLink system, which includes features like Pandora internet radio. Infotainment and climate controls are also strong suits with redundant controls that "allow the drive to change the HVAC settings or dial down the volume without resulting to the touch-screen interface."
Changes made to the exterior have made the 2014 Sierra 1500 more utilitarian than before including a long bed option for crew cab models, integrated steps in the rear bumper, movable tie-downs, and LED lighting in the bed.
The 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 has a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA (out of a possible five stars) and earned a good score in the moderate overlap front category in IIHS testing.
The 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 remains a competitive full-size truck and its redesign has made it more utilitarian. Its user-friendly infotainment and climate controls make it easy to live with while the available IntelliLink system gives the interior a more modern feel. However, in a 2013 Driven review, we noted that the interface was "a little slow to respond to inputs," making it less intuitive to use than its competitors' infotainment units. We also said in the same article that the V-6 is "the star of the lineup" due to its impressive combination of fuel economy, power, and 7,200-pound towing capacity. The conservative evolutionary exterior styling is a 2014 Sierra 1500 weak point since "the average person would have a hard time distinguishing a 2014 GMC Sierra from a 2013 model."

The idea of holding an informal run at the beginning of Easter came to North Cleveland Baptist pastor, Jay McCluskey, several years ago after his family participated in a Thanksgiving Day "Turkey Trot."
It seemed to be a healthy and fun way to begin that holiday.
If people will gather to run on Thanksgiving morning, then why not Easter?
McCluskey then noted all the references to running in the story of Jesus' resurrection. Mary Magdalene ran from the tomb to tell the disciples that Jesus' body was missing (John 20:1-2). Peter and John then ran to the tomb to see for themselves (John 20:3-4).
The distance between the Upper Room and the Empty Tomb is estimated to have been approximately one mile. Therefore, a one-mile course is designed to begin and end at North Cleveland Baptist Church's Prayer Garden.
"When running is done in recognition of Jesus' victory over the grave, it too is an act of worship," states McCluskey.
McCluskey welcomes the community to begin Resurrection Sunday in this unique way.
"North Cleveland Baptist invites all runners and walkers to join us at 6:30 Easter morning in our church Prayer Garden. There is sufficient time for everyone to run or walk the one-mile course at their own pace. In past years, some participants have elected to run the route more than once. Once everyone has completed the course, we will gather for a simple Sunrise devotional."
Runners and walkers will all receive a free Resurrection Run T-shirt compliments of Travis Godfrey Sales.
The church is located at 2715 North Ocoee St., just across Ocoee Street from the United States Forest Service office.
For questions, call the church office at 476-8524.

MPD Book Club: The Book of Basketball
Off-Base November 10th, 2009
Bill Simmons is a writer for ESPN that you probably have heard of. He's probably the biggest "celebrity" writer on the internet and is responsible for roughly 1/5 of the posts at Deadspin. Despite influencing roughly every sports blog on the internet and setting a gold standard that anyone who thinks that it's a good idea to write on the internet should try to attain, he is one of the most divisive figures in the sports blogging world. Often accused of being smug, a name dropper and overusing the same references time and time again (I once emailed him begging him to stop with the Battle of the Network Stars references) Simmons is generally un-apologetic over his style. His style is his style. He has his fans (which I count myself as one) and his detractors, but in the end there's not much you can say negatively about him. His "voice of the fan" perspective has become skewered a bit over the years, but it still is a "voice of the fan" because when it comes to baseball, the NFL or gambling on the NFL he doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time (just like a real fan.) However, when it comes to basketball Bill Simmons leaves the "voice of the fan" behind and becomes something wholly different, one of the greatest living basketball writers alive.
Now, I've never been the biggest basketball guy. I think it's a great sport to watch, but there have been one too many times in my lifetime when the officials have clearly affected the outcome of a game and you can't tell me any different that the league didn't influence these decisions. The most egregious example would of course be the Dallas/Miami Finals from a couple of years back. I know that I'm not the only one who feels this way and was completely turned off by this series, but somehow the NBA always finds ways to pull me back in. Whether it's Lebron James or Brandon Jennings, I always find a reason to end up watching some games and a lot of this can probably be attributed to the writing of Bill Simmons. His passion for the game in his columns is infectious and there have been more than a few times I have ended up watching a playoff series because he will not shut up about it (Bulls/Celtics from last season is a great example.) When I found out that Bill Simmons had written a 700 page book about basketball I pre-ordered it right away. I've always enjoyed him as a writer and he is far too serious about the sport of basketball to mess this up. When The Book of Basketball arrived eight days ago I dug right in and I wasn't disappointed. Read the rest of this entry »

Here is Tom Junod's original story about the president's use of drones, published in the August 2012 issue.
You are a good man. You are an honorable man. You are both president of the United States and the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. You are both the most powerful man in the world and an unimpeachably upstanding citizen. You place a large premium on being beyond reproach. You have become your own deliberative body, standing not so much by your decisions as by the process by which you make them. You are not only rational; you are a rationalist. You think everything through, as though it is within your power to find the point where what is moral meets what is necessary.
You love two things, your family and the law, and you have surrounded yourself with those who are similarly inclined. To make sure that you obey the law, you have hired lawyers prominent for accusing your predecessor of flouting it; to make sure that you don't fall prey to the inevitable corruption of secrecy, you have hired lawyers on record for being committed to transparency. Unlike George W. Bush, you have never held yourself above the law by virtue of being commander in chief; indeed, you have spent part of your political capital trying to prove civilian justice adequate to our security needs. You prize both discipline and deliberation; you insist that those around you possess a personal integrity that matches their political ideals and your own; and it is out of these unlikely ingredients that you have created the Lethal Presidency.
You are a historic figure, Mr. President. You are not only the first African-American president; you are the first who has made use of your power to target and kill individuals identified as a threat to the United States throughout your entire term. You are the first president to make the killing of targeted individuals the focus of our military operations, of our intelligence, of our national-security strategy, and, some argue, of our foreign policy. You have authorized kill teams comprised of both soldiers from Special Forces and civilians from the CIA, and you have coordinated their efforts through the Departments of Justice and State. You have gradually withdrawn from the nation building required by "counterinsurgency" and poured resources into the covert operations that form the basis of "counter-terrorism." More than any other president you have made the killing rather than the capture of individuals the option of first resort, and have killed them both from the sky, with drones, and on the ground, with "nighttime" raids not dissimilar to the one that killed Osama bin Laden. You have killed individuals in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and Libya, and are making provisions to expand the presence of American Special Forces in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. In Pakistan and other places where the United States has not committed troops, you are estimated to have killed at least two thousand by drone. You have formalized what is known as "the program," and at the height of its activity it was reported to be launching drone strikes in Pakistan every three days. Your lethality is expansive in both practice and principle; you are fighting terrorism with a policy of preemptive execution, and claiming not just the legal right to do so but the legal right to do so in secret. The American people, for the most part, have no idea who has been killed, and why; the American people and for that matter, most of their representatives in Congress have no idea what crimes those killed in their name are supposed to have committed, and have been told that they are not entitled to know.
This is not to say that the American people don't know about the Lethal Presidency, and that they don't support its aims. They do. They know about the killing because you have celebrated with appropriate sobriety the most notable kills, specifically those of Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki; they support it because you have asked for their trust as a good and honorable man surrounded by good and honorable men and women and they have given it to you. In so doing, you have changed a technological capability into a moral imperative and have convinced your countrymen to see the necessity without seeing the downside. Politically, there is no downside. Historically, there is only the irony of the upside that you, of all presidents, have become the lethal one; that you, of all people, have turned out to be a man of proven integrity whose foreign and domestic policies are less popular than your proven willingness to kill, in defense of your country, even your own countrymen ... indeed, to kill even a sixteen-year-old American boy accused of no crime at all.
(ON THE POLITICS BLOG: Tom Junod Considers the Implications)
It's an American story. A promising student from a poor country is selected to go to America on a Fulbright scholarship. His country is an agricultural one an agricultural country simmering in the desert so he goes off to study agricultural economics. He enters New Mexico State University in 1966, gets his business degree three years later, and he's studying for his master's when his first son is born. "I remember the name of the gynecologist!" he says. "I remember the name of the hospital Las Cruces General! The next day I went to school and was very pleased. At the time in America, they distributed cigars if it was a boy. So that's what I did I distributed cigars. It was a fantastic thing, to have my firstborn son be born in the United States."
It was 1971, and Nasser al-Awlaki named his American son Anwar. He got his Ph.D. at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln "The year I got there, they took the national college football championship! They beat Oklahoma in the Game of the Century!" and then got an offer to teach at the University of Minnesota. "We took Anwar to nursery school there. He was a very brilliant boy. His nursery-school teacher wrote him every year, even when he came back to Yemen. I joined the University of Sanaa and took Anwar to bilingual school. In three months he was speaking and writing Arabic!"
Anwar al-Awlaki, firstborn son of Nasser, never lost his American citizenship, though he eventually gained his Yemeni one. In 1991, he got his own scholarship to Colorado State University, and the American story the story of the American al-Awlakis was told a second time. "He studied civil engineering," his father says. "After he got his degree, he came back to Yemen in 1994 in order to get married. He married his second cousin and then took his wife back to America, to Denver. His first son was born in August 1995, in Denver, Colorado. My wife and my mother went to Colorado for the birth and stayed six months. He was a beautiful, lovable little boy and of course we were all very happy that he was born in America."
You must know the boy, Mr. President. Though you've never spoken a word about him, you must know his name, who and what he was. He was, after all, one of yours. He was a citizen. He had certain inalienable rights. He moved away when he was seven, but in that way he was not so different from you. He moved around a lot when he was growing up, because his father did. He went from Denver to San Diego, and from San Diego to a suburb of Washington, D. C. Then he went to Yemen. He was an American boy, but his father came to feel that America was attacking him, and he took his wife and son back to Yemen and began preaching hatred against Americans. Anwar al-Awlaki took it as his constitutionally guaranteed right to do so. When you decided that you had to do something about him, you also had to decide whether his citizenship stood in the way. You decided that it didn't.
Anwar al-Awlaki fled into the mountains of Yemen. The boy lived with his grandfather Nasser in the capital city of Sanaa. He didn't see his father for two years. He loved his father and missed him. He was sixteen. One morning last September, he didn't show up for breakfast. His mother went to find him and instead she found a note. He had climbed out the window of the apartment building where he lived. He had gone in search of his father. You might not have known him then you might not have had cause to know his name. But his name was Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, and he knew you as both the president of the United States and as the man trying to kill his father.

If you could take a pill daily that would lower your blood pressure, reduce stress, boost your immune system, and promote bonding with your mate, wouldn't you do it? You don't actually need a pill to tap these much-needed benefits. There's another way that's more fun, with no side effects: having sex with your mate. So why do so many couples let their relationships fall into a sex-free zone?
It starts with your pressure-cooker job, on top of your load of household chores. Add your husband's own stressed-out work life, his ailing mother, and some unexpected bills that are throwing off your budget. Pepper the mix with two small (or large) children, and what you have is a recipe for a couple who would just as soon collapse on the couch as shimmy under the sheets.
This scenario is so common that therapists have an acronym for it—DINS, as in "dual income, no sex." And it's not only men who are unhappy about it. According to an Australian study in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy, 28% of women ages 35 to 54 who are married or in long-term relationships would like more sex, please. With 53% of the men also reporting dissatisfaction, that means at least half of couples are experiencing a "desire gap."
There's an opportunity here. Frequency of sex is intrinsically tied to happiness in a relationship. The National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago has consistently found that married couples between the ages of 30 and 59 who describe themselves as "very happy" have sex about 60% more often than those who describe their relationship as "not too happy." (That's 78 times a year versus 48.) "But does more sex lead to greater happiness or greater happiness to more sex?" asks Tom Smith, PhD, a senior fellow at NORC.
Evidence suggests that it works both ways. So to boost your health—and happiness!—here's how to get your groove back.

For immediate release -- Tuesday, July 24, 2001. Contact Eric Tabor -- 515-281-5191, or Steve Moline -- 515-281-6634.
Miller says binding contract spells out how farmers can be compensated who found StarLink "Cry9C" protein completely unexpectedly.
Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller said Tuesday that Aventis CropScience -- the maker of StarLink genetically modified corn that entered the grain and food chains -- has reached a supplemental contractual agreement with seventeen State Attorneys General acting on behalf of additional growers who may suffer losses as a result of StarLink corn.
The supplemental agreement focuses on growers who have found StarLink "Cry9C" corn in their inventories despite the fact that they had not purchased StarLink-brand seed or grown corn within 660 feet of corn grown from StarLink seed. Such "StarLink growers" and "buffer growers" are eligible for various kinds of compensation under an agreement the State Attorneys General reached with Aventis on January 23 of this year.
"Some StarLink corn has showed up where no one expected it, and sometimes where no one can explain it," Miller said. "This supplemental agreement gives us better terms and definitions for helping those kinds of growers. I am very pleased we reached these new understandings."
Miller also said that Aventis has agreed to grant a one-time-only extension of the Sept. 1 deadline to growers that need more time to feed their StarLink corn to livestock on their own farms.
"These are good developments for farmers," Miller said. "I think Aventis is working hard to correct the situation and make it right for farmers and elevators. They have mobilized to get the corn out of the grain chain and set up procedures and terms to pay producers and elevators whose grain may have lost value because of StarLink corn."
Miller said Aventis has paid millions of dollars to farmers and elevators so far.
The supplemental agreement spells out eligibility and benefits for farmers who found Cry9C protein in their corn even though they were neither StarLink-brand growers nor "buffer growers."
The supplemental agreement covers two kinds of growers eligible for benefits: those who have confirmed with their seed dealer that the seed they purchased inadvertently contained Cry9C, and those who don't have such confirmation from their seed dealer but provide other evidence that their corn contains Cry9C StarLink protein.
Growers with written confirmation that the seed contained Cry9C are eligible for the following benefits under Aventis's "StarLink Enhanced Stewardship" or SES program: 25 cents for each bushel of non-StarLink corn containing Cry9C; 25 cents for each bushel of buffer corn grown within 660 feet of such non-StarLink corn containing Cry9C; 5 cents per bushel of commingled corn if fed on the farm, or 10 cents per bushel if marketed to a StarLink Logistics approved destination. Such growers also can be reimbursed for excess cost of transportation or storage or other verifiable loss of value exceeding benefits available under Aventis's SES StarLink program.
Growers without confirmation from a seed dealer may demonstrate eligibility in several ways: load-by-load testing as each load is delivered; or, on-farm testing by an Aventis representative; or, on-farm testing by the farmer with Aventis prior approval. Aventis pays testing costs.
Growers who qualify are eligible for benefits as follows: all corn testing positive is classified as "commingled" corn; growers may be paid 5 cents per bushel if the corn is fed to livestock on the farm, or 10 cents if it is marketed to a StarLink Logistics approved destination. Growers also can be reimbursed for excess cost of transportation or storage or other verifiable loss of value.
For details on these terms -- or for information on extending the Sept. 1 deadline -- Miller's Office encouraged farmers to contact Aventis or go to Aventis's web site on the situation: www.StarLinkCorn.com. Call the Attorney General's Farm Division (515-281-5351) or visit the web site: www.IowaAttorneyGeneral.org. (click on "Farm Advocacy.")
"This is another good step forward in tackling this situation," Miller said. "We will continue to work with Aventis on details of implementing the agreement, and our discussions will continue as other StarLink corn issues arise."
Miller and the Farm Division of his office have led states in negotiating with Aventis since the StarLink situation emerged last October, pressing the company to provide effective terms and claims procedures for farmers and elevators to recoup losses that may result because of StarLink.
The supplemental agreement was signed by the States and Aventis CropScience USA LP, based in Research Triangle Park, NC. States that signed the agreement are Iowa, Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The States encompass over 90 percent of the acreage planted to StarLink corn last year.
Aventis has said the goal of its "StarLink Enhanced Stewardship" and StarLink Logistics plans is to completely segregate StarLink corn from other grain and to move StarLink corn and commingled corn to approved sites and approved uses such as animal feed and certain industrial uses.
Miller has said it was "irresponsible" for Aventis to market the StarLink seed corn with unrealistic restrictions - including that there must be at least 660-foot "buffer strips" between StarLink and other planted corn, and that StarLink grain had to be kept segregated from other corn. He also has said his office believes most Iowa growers were not aware of the restrictions in any event.
Miller said the States did not release any potential claims or causes of action as a result of their agreements with Aventis, in case other issues arise that are not covered by the agreement. He also said the agreement does not affect any claims that have been made or could be made by growers or elevators who choose to proceed with legal action or claims.
