I have a baby rubber plant that was outgrowing it's pot so I repotted it. About 2 weeks later I noticed there's brown spots/blotches on some of the leaves and a few of them have fallen off. The plant has always been healthy and nothing has changed other than being repotted. The brown is spreading to other leaves now too, but the bottom of them are just green. The brown parts are slightly indented as well. Anyone know what it is or what I can do? |

NASA press conference about alien life? An E.T. rumor.
NASA plans a press conference today at 2 p.m. to discuss an astrobiology finding. The Internet buzz is that alien life was found on Titan. Not entirely true, according to reporters who have seen the research.
Speculation that life has been discovered beyond Earth exploded on the Internet after NASA announced plans for a press conference involving scientists who study unusual life forms.
The briefing, set for 2 p.m. Thursday, focuses on a paper being published in the journal Science, which has not been made public.
But when it is released, the paper will be a disappointment to those speculating about its contents. It does not report finding life outside of Earth.
In a report on the flap, the Columbia Journalism Review observed that the actual science in question "is quite terrestrial in nature and will come as a disappointment to those breathlessly waiting for news that E.T. has phoned home."
The American Association for the Advancement of Science – which publishes the journal in which the research will appear – said Wednesday it has received numerous inquiries about the "mostly erroneous online and/or tabloid speculation about the forthcoming research.
"These reports clearly are not based on the peer-reviewed research being published under the auspices of the journal Science."

How to perform flood remediation?
There are different means of flood damage remediation and thus you must make selection of the best one that suits your specific purpose, requirement and affordability.
- Your house must be properly inspected in order to find out that whether the place is endangered with floods or heavy rainfall or not. If so, then you must take necessary preventions in order to resist the hazardous impacts of floods and rainfall.
- Different damaging signs need to be motivated and the house surrounding including the systems must be properly inspected and in that case you can also take necessary photographs of the same so that later on you can claim for an insurance compensation accordingly.
- Different protective clothes need to be worn and on the other hand you also need to cover your house with a specialized protection shield in order to prevent the same from different kinds of critical damages due to floods. Face masks or respirators and rubber gloves can be worn for self protection. These protective instructions are considered as one of the most essential requisites of flood damage remediation.
- The windows must be opened widely so that the sunlight can be allowed to enter inside which is needed for dealing with the flood damages in an effective manner and thus it is one of the most essential measures for flood damage remediation and that can be followed by almost all house owners.
- Dehumidifier or speedy fans can be used and that can be operated on a continuous basis in order to dry up the moisture or flood-affected surfaces including both indoor and outdoor surfaces.
- Chlorine-bleach solution or mild disinfectants are usually utilized in order to kill all the harmful contaminants that come along with the flood-water and they can be really quite dreadful at times and thus these solutions can be really of great help to you in this regard.
- All kinds of curtains and window dressings need to be immediately removed and on the other hand the heating and air-conditioning systems of the houses need to be checked thoroughly by means of hiring any expert specialist. These steps are quite important for preventing mold growth which mainly occurs due to long-time storage of flood-water.
- The claims of insurance need to be fully prepared along with the accumulation of the necessary documents that need to be submitted for clearing off the claims.

"The Ethical Dimensions of Medical Discovery: Lessons from The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," A Lecture by Rebecca Skloot
A Visions and Voices Series: The USC Arts & Humanities InitiativeThursday, April 4, Mayer AuditoriumRebecca Skloot is an award-winning science writer whose work has been widely anthologized. Her debut book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, took more than a decade to research and write, and instantly became a New York Times best seller. The book tells the story of a young black woman who died of cervical cancer in 1951 and left behind an inexplicably immortal line of cells known as HeLa. Harvested without her knowledge or consent, Henrietta Lack's cells contributed to scientific advancements as varied as the polio vaccine, treatments for cancers and viruses, in vitro fertilization and our understanding of the impact of space travel on human cells. The story is also about her children, who were later used in research without their consent and who have never benefited from the commercialization of HeLa cells, though the cells have helped biotech companies make millions of dollars. Part detective story, part scientific odyssey and part family saga, Immortal Life raises fascinating questions about race, class and bioethics in America.Organizers: Pamela Schaff (Pediatrics and Keck Educational Affairs), Erin Quinn (Family Medicine) and Lyn Boyd-Judson (Levan Institute for Humanities and Ethics). Co-sponsors: Keck School of Medicine's Program in Medical Humanities, Arts and Ethics; the USC Pacific Center for Health Policy and Ethics; Levan Institute for Humanities and Ethics.
Levan Coffeehouse Conversation on Practical Ethics: Are We Responsible for Government Gridlock?
Wednesday, March 13, Ground Zero CaféA majority of Americans today report dissatisfaction, even disgust, with Congress, largely because of its perceived inability to pass what all acknowledge to be needed legislation. Yet we are part of the electorate responsible for the composition of our dysfunctional Congress. If we elect representatives on their promise that they will not compromise on the issues we care about, and our opponents do as well, who is responsible for the ensuing paralysis of our government?
Is it ethical to vote solely on the basis of our personal interests and our particular ethical or religious values—even as it threatens gridlock in a pluralistic society like ours? Or does morality require us to vote on the basis of our society's common interest in functioning government in common matters, recognizing that others in our free society will disagree with our personal and particular values, and that ours may lose out?

Levan/Carnegie Global Ethics Network Event- Roundtable: "Rethinking the Responsibility to Protect (R2P)"
Wednesday, February 27, THH 201
Co-Sponsors: Levan Institute for Humanities and Ethics, Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict, Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, Jewish World WatchThe rise of human rights has transformed the way we think about the ethics of international relations. In the past decade, the doctrine of Responsibility to Protect has successfully entrenched a conditional understanding of state sovereignty that makes human rights the touchstone of sovereign rights. While there have been genuine advances, the current theory and practice of humanitarian intervention is at an unstable resting point in its development. How are ethical, philosophical, political and policy considerations impacted by developments in this doctrine? Join us for an interdisciplinary discussion.Moderator:Steven Lamy, Vice-Dean and Professor of International Relations, USC Dornsife
Panelists:David Rodin, Senior Research Fellow and Co-Director of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict, Carnegie Global Ethics Fellow; Edwin Smith, Leon Benwell Professor of Law, International Relations and Political Science, USC Gould School of Law; Lynn Ta, Human Rights lawyer, experience in Cambodia; Naama Haviv, Jewish World Watch, experience in Congo and Darfur; Rebecca Wertman, Undergraduate, School of International Relations, USC Dornsife -
Levan Coffeehouse Conversation on Practical Ethics- Messenger or Menace: Can Media Still Act Responsibly?
Wednesday, February 20, Ground Zero CaféIn the not-too-distant past, there was a fairly clear line separating journalists from mere consumers of media. With the recent proliferation of media outlets, magnified by the rise of consumer-generated and disseminated "news," the distinction between reporter and consumer has been blurred, if not entirely obliterated. We are all members of the media. Should we embrace a perfectly free "marketplace of ideas" totally unconstrained by moral values of honesty, fairness and concern for the welfare of others? Or is an entirely new ethical standard needed?Moderator:Sharon Lloyd, Professor of Philosophy, Law and Political Science, USC DornsifePanelists:Geneva Overholser, Director and Professor, School of Journalism, USC AnnenbergTom Hollihan, Professor of Communication, USC AnnenbergShlomo Sher, Philosophy, USC Dornsife -

Film Screening: 5 Broken Cameras
Monday, February 4, Albert and Dana Broccoli Theatre, SCA 112Levan Cinema of Substance SeriesCosponsor: USC School of Cinematic ArtsDirected by Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi
Written by Guy DavidiAn extraordinary work of both cinematic and political activism, Cameras was shot almost entirely by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat, who bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his youngest son. The footage was later given to his Israeli co-director Guy Davidi to edit. The filmmakers' collaboration, structured around the violent destruction of each one of Burnat's cameras, follows one family's evolution over five years of village turmoil. Burnat watches from behind the lens as olive trees are bulldozed, protests intensify and lives are lost. "I feel like the camera protects me," he says, "but it's an illusion.""[A] rigorous and moving work of art." — A. O.

Teaching Ethics Program (TEP) Spring
Tuesday, January 22, THH 214Wednesday, January 23, THH 214The Teaching Ethics Program is a meaningful and engaging service-learning opportunity for USC undergraduates. In its third year, TEP is exclusively a teaching experience that places USC teams in high school social science classes to team-teach four class sessions. The first two "core lessons" establish three ethical perspectives where students must apply competing ethical principles to different moral dilemmas. Then the team can pick among the TEP collection of lessons to plan the last two sessions. The idea is to provide an ethics framework that high school students can take with them as a tool for more critical decision-making. A TEP team member must attend a two-hour training, meet with an advisor to explain interactive teaching strategies, and write a web-board report for each session about how students responded.TEP course credit is available in PHIL 140g, PHIL 340 and PHIL 437 for Spring 2013. With all other courses, you must check with your professor if you would like to participate for credit.

Film Screening: The Interrupters
Friday, November 30, USC Norris Cinema TheatreA film by Steve James and Alex KotlowitzAn evening with director Steve James and two Chicago members of Ceasefire, Eddie Bocanegra and Ameena MatthewsOrganizers: USC School of Cinematic Arts, USC Levan Institute for Humanities and Ethics, and Visions and Voices: The USC Arts & Humanities InitiativeWinner of over a dozen awards including Best Documentary, 2012 Independent Spirit Awards and voted top documentary of 2011 by National Critics PollsThe Interrupters tells the moving and surprising stories of three "violence interrupters" who try to protect their Chicago communities from the violence they themselves once employed. The film, from acclaimed director Steve James and bestselling author Alex Kotlowitz, is an unusually intimate journey into the stubborn persistence of violence in our cities. The Interrupters follows Ameena, Cobe and Eddie as they go about their work, and while doing so reveals their own inspired journeys of hope and redemption. The film's titular subjects work for the innovative organization CeaseFire. It was founded by epidemiologist Gary Slutkin, who believes that the spread of violence mimics the spread of infectious diseases, and so the treatment should be similar: Go after the most infected and stop the infection at its source. One of the cornerstones of the organization is the Violence Interrupter program created by Tio Hardiman. The Interrupters- who have credibility on the streets because of their own personal histories- intervene in conflicts before they explode into violence.

Tragic Ethics: What to Do When Gods Set Bad Examples, with Paul Woodruff
Wednesday, November 28, Doheny Memorial Library 240Organized by USC Center for Excellence in Teaching, USC Classics Department, and USC Office of Religious LifeHow should we live in light of the fact that we are vulnerable to misery and death, and that we cannot rely on gods to do right by us? Paul Woodruff develops the concept of "tragic ethics" in order to answer this question. The philosophy of Plato repudiates Greek tragic poetry as supporting beliefs in impulsive and shameless gods, and in doing so turns away from virtues like compassion, reverence and good judgement, which often show favorably in tragic poetry.Paul Woodruff is a philosopher and dean of the School of Undergraduate Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. He is one of America's foremost interpreters of Plato, Thucydides and other Greek thinkers from the ancient world. He is a veteran of the Vietnam War. -

Levan Coffeehouse Conversation on Practical Ethics: Reimagine Citizenship
Wednesday, September 26, Ground Zero CaféFrom facing down riot police to tweeting, our ways of protesting have evolved from the Vietnam era to the present. The sixties saw sit-ins and the burning of draft cards, in the eighties we had economic boycotts of apartheid-era South Africa, while the recent Arab Spring protesters took it to the street with Twitter and other social media. And then there's WikiLeaks, flash mobs and the Occupy movement. Voting seems almost passé. Are the demands of active citizenship changing?

When's the Best Time to Start a Family?
By Jill Johnson
Beverly and Bill Nobles of Houston, Texas, reached the decision to have their two kids despite some initial reservations and a significant age difference to consider: She was 28; he was 48 and already had a teenage son. "I was a little hesitant about starting a second family," recalls Bill, "but it wasn't hard to convince me. I didn't get to experience everything the first time around." (He and his first wife separated when his son was four.) As far as timing, Beverly says they didn't worry about his fertility—an area where men have the clear advantage—only about Bill's age as a father. "Once we were married, I felt like it was time, for both of us; all my friends had already started having kids," she says.
Heitler advises "older" newlyweds to take the plunge, the way the Nobles did: "Conventional wisdom said that being married for a year before conceiving a child was a good idea. That has its merit, in that a significant number of couples who are genuinely ill-suited for each other, or for marriage, do divorce in the first year. However, people marry so late now that this window of experimental time is no longer an option. Better to just go for it, and to fix whatever marital problems emerge, than to forego being able to have children at all."
Fine, if you both know unequivocally that you want them, but what about couples who find themselves see-sawing on the decision, and even wondering whether to have kids at all? "Kim brought up the subject of having children about six months into our dating," says Michael Civisca, a 41-year-old singer who lives with his new wife in Buffalo, New York. "Because of my career and exposure to every misbehaved child that ever existed in restaurants and candy aisles, I wasn't in favor of it."

Romance, marching bands, Clydesdale horses and a Wando High School grad were part of a Super Bowl ad that showed a small-town tickertape parade to honor veterans.
Shannon Cantwell, who was Miss Wando in 2007, played a key role in the commercial when she entered her boyfriend, Army Lt. Chuck Nadd, in a contest to be recognized as a hometown hero returning from Afghanistan.
"I just saw it on the VFW website and never really thought he would be selected," she said.
The event happened in Winter Park, Fla., Nadd's hometown, after the couple reunited at the Orlando airport when he returned from a seven-month deployment. Cantwell kept mum about the homecoming surprise until it happened.
"I wasn't going to mess things up for him," she said.
Budweiser teamed with the town to honor Nadd. A group of veterans participated to give a soldier the welcome home he never had.
"It's rather sad that our nation doesn't celebrate the return of veterans the way we once did," Cantwell said.
There was some mixed reaction to the ad on social media. Critics felt the spotlight on Nadd was undeserved because of his relatively short time of service, Cantwell said.
"A lot of people loved it," she said. "I can't tell you how many people said they were brought to tears."
Complete and sincere respect for the sacrifices of all veterans was a theme of the ad, she said. "So many people have given so much more."
Budweiser plans a year-long campaign to recognize service members returning from Afghanistan, she said.
Nadd and Cantwell also attended the Super Bowl.
"It was certainly an experience that both of us will never forget," she said.
Cantwell works in Washington, D.C., as a legislative correspondent for U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama.
She completed her senior year of high school at Wando after her family moved to Mount Pleasant from Colorado. "I love South Carolina," she said.
Nadd, a Blackhawk helicopter pilot, is a 2011 West Point graduate. His homecoming surprise began when he returned to Fort Drum, in northern New York state, in early January. Less than 24 hours later he was on a private jet to Orlando for what his commander described as a public relations assignment.
Cantwell and Nadd reunited Jan. 8 at the airport with one of their moments together captured in the Super Bowl ad. She made arrangements for his mother to come in from Alabama and for friends to fly in from around the nation.
"It was exciting to see his friends and family," she said.
At Wando, Cantwell led the women's track team to a first-place finish in the region as she competed in 800-meter and 400-meter races. She received the Wando Warrior Award for Most Valuable Track & Field Female Athlete. She was a member of the National Honor Society.
She continued to compete in track at Furman University, where she was elected president of her senior class and graduated summa cum laude in 2011 after studying economics and political science. In 2012 she earned a master of science in international management at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, where she represented the United States as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar. She is described as a champion Irish step dancer.
Cantwell founded Athletes for Africa, a 501(c)3 corporation that has led multiple mission trips of Furman student athletes to Swaziland.
She has worked in Shelby's office for a year.
"I love my job," she said. "Who knows what the future holds?"

The Ubuntu One Music Store Now Online
Just missing the beta deadline, Ubuntu has today placed the version 10.04 of the new Music Store online for testing.
Tracks will cost between 77 and 99 cents. For premium labels, available in USA, UK and Germany only, Ubuntu are asking 1.49 Euros (Euro Shop)
per song. The first 60 seconds of each track can be heard as a teaser. With a seamless integration in Rhythmbox, the quality of the MP3 recordings
lies between 192 and 320 Kbs, regardless of price.
Users actually wishing to buy music, should be a little patient. The current version comes with hold-ups at the checkout, sometimes causing Rhythmbox to crash. Probably best then to wait for the stable final version.
Spotify on Ubuntu 10.04
Are there ways around this blocking of Spotify?? Wine and Spotify should work beyond Ubuntu restrictions???? -
No. -
Ubuntu one music store
Ubuntu one music store may be OK for those that want to buy music but it is at the cost of those who prefer Spotify !
Spotify is now a banned item in ubuntu 10.04 beta,it will not complete installation cos they say it is not a safe item ! ! !
It may seem cynical to say that ubuntu have discovered that Spotify is no longer safe at just the same time as ubuntu music store is launched?
No other distro to my knowledge has any problem with Spotify and it is appalling that a distro that says it prizes free software should have such dual standards when cash income from paid for music comes above free choice !
Cannonical are Hypercrictal,its all about money !
Does anyone else feel that this is wrong ?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rocky!
Facts about Rocky
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Rocky's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Rocky is not a Tree House admitted cat, but is being fostered by one of our volunteers. Please contact Liz at 773 898 9899 or e-mail email@example.com if you would like more information about Rocky.
Here's what Liz has to say about Rocky:
"As a volunteer with the Tree House Humane Society, I rescued Rocky from a backyard in Logan Square along with 16 other kittens and am fostering him and his sister Peanut in my home. They were born around June.
Rocky has been neutered. He has had all vaccinations and booster shots, has received deworming and flea treatments and is microchipped. He tested negative for FIV & FeLV. I can provide all records of vet services.
Rocky is very sweet, affectionate, gentle and playful. He rubs against me for attention and likes to be held. He also gets along well with my adult male cat.
I would prefer to adopt Rocky together with Peanut because they are so close, but will also consider adopting him into a home with another animal. [If you are interested in just one cat and don't have any cats already, please contact Tree House at 773 784 5488. They have two shelter locations in Chicago's Uptown and Bucktown neighborhoods with many wonderful cats & kittens to choose from.]
I'm looking for that special someone who is patient, dedicated and financially stable enough to commit to and afford a cat for life. Asking $75 per cat or $150 total. Please understand that I ask for an application, check references and you'll need to sign an adoption contract as standard procedure.
Please call 773 898 9899 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. No texts."
Other Pets at Tree House Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rocky, a Chicago Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Chicago, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Chicago.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chicago already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chicago breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chicago paves the way for another one to be saved.

Robicheaux v. George
Consolidated with Forum for Equality Louisiana v. Barfield
What's Happening:
On September 3, U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman became the first federal judge since June 2013 to uphold marriage discrimination in this federal case seeking the freedom to marry and respect for marriages performed in other states. The plaintiffs have appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which has scheduled an oral argument for January 9, 2015. Lambda Legal has also asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case.
On October 7, Lambda Legal joined as counsel on this case. The appeal is on the same track now as the freedom to marry case in Texas.
On January 12, the U.S. Supreme Court denied review of the Robicheaux case, which filed a petition seeking review prior to judgment. Now, it's up to the 5th Circuit to reverse this out-of-step ruling. Earlier in 2014, the plaintiffs in thecase filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court, asking the court to grant review of their case prior to judgment from the 5th Circuit. The state of Louisiana had also filed a response brief urging SCOTUS to take the case.
Case Background:
On July 16, 2013, private lawyers in New Orleans, LA filed a federal lawsuit in the 5th Circuit on behalf of a same-sex couple seeking respect for their marriage in Louisiana. The couple, Jon Robicheaux and Derek Pinton, married in Iowa in 2012 and need their home state of Louisiana to respect their marriage. The case was originally called Robicheaux v. Caldwell.
On December 2, 2013, U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman dismissed the lawsuit, explaining that the plaintiffs only named Attorney General James Caldwell as a defendant. The plaintiffs said they now plan to amend the complaint and name Secretary of the State Department of Revenue, Tim Barfiled, as the defendant. On January 13, 2014, attorneys in the case filed a new federal lawsuit, naming state officials in the Department of Health and Hospitals, and the Department of Revenue, as plaintiffs.
On February 12, 2014, the Forum for Equality Louisiana filed a separate lawsuit in federal court on behalf of four same-sex couples seeking respect for their legal marriages in Louisiana. Several of the couples - including Andrew & Nick and Jackie & Lauren - are raising young children in New Orleans, and their lawsuit reflects that having their marriages disrespected in Louisiana poses potential legal challenges - and challenges they have already been burdened with - for their family.
On March 18, U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman moved to consolidate the two cases under the Robicheaux name. A Motion for Summary Judgment was due April 17, and an oral argument was held on June 25. Shortly after, Judge Feldman requested additional briefs in order to fully consider the marriage amendment in Louisiana.
Costanza and Brewer v. Caldwell
What's Happening:
On September 22, 2014, Judge Edward Rubin of the 15th Judicial District Court ruled in favor of the freedom to marry in this state legal challenge to an amendment in Louisiana that denies same-sex couples the freedom to marry. The ruling granted a same-sex couple's second-parent adoption and affirmed that the Louisiana amendment violates the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment.
On September 25, the state of Louisiana appealed, which put the ruling on hold.
Case Background:
Private lawyers filed a lawsuit in state court on behalf of one same-sex couple seeking to have their marriage respected by the state of Louisiana and the ability for one mother to legally adopt her son. Judge Edward B. Broussard dismissed the case on July 26, 2013, and the case was appealed.
The plaintiffs are Angela Marie Costanza and Chastity Shanelle Brewer, who live in Lafayette, Louisiana and had legally married in California.
On February 5, Judge Edward Rubin granted a reversal of the lower court ruling, granting the second-parent adoption. The Louisiana Attorney General appealed the ruling, the decision was vacated and remanded for a full hearing of the constitutional issues presented, including claims seeking respect for the couple's marriage.

Public Gets Chance to Weigh in on Changes at Crisfield High
By Don Rush
The public will get another chance to weigh in on a plan to restructure Crisfield High School after it was approved last month by the Somerset County Board of Education.
Superintendent Marjorie Miles told the Salisbury Daily Times that this is being done…because some residents called Maryland state officials telling them they did not feel…they had enough input.
The Maryland State Department of Education also wants to clear up some aspects of the plan such as the class schedule for the next school year.
Dates of the public sessions are expected to be announced at tonight's Board of Education meeting.

U.S. Rep Mark Sanford will speak at a Lowcountry Local First event Friday to address concerns about tax incentives for Bass Pro Shops, a national outdoor recreation store on its way to North Charleston.
The outdoor retailer plans to build a 130,000- to 150,000-square-foot store in the Ingleside Plantation development between Interstate 26 and Palmetto Commerce Parkway. North Charleston City Council has reduced the tax that Bass Pro would have to pay during its first 15 years. The incentive is part of the city's initiative to attract national retailers to the area, which has raised concerns among local business owners.
The public event will be 4-5 p.m. Friday in Meeting Room B at the Charleston County Public Library at 68 Calhoun St. in downtown Charleston. Sanford will take questions from business owners during the address.
This isn't the first time the lawmaker has gotten involved with the city's efforts to lure big retailers. In 2006, when Sanford was governor of South Carolina, he objected to the use incentives to draw in Cabela's, one of Bass Pro's major competitors.
More recently, in an opinion piece published in January, Sanford said such tax breaks put "government into the role of picking one retailer over another." North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey has said the congressman should stick to national issues.
Connor Shaw, the former star quarterback for the University of South Carolina, will meet fans and sign autographs 1-4 p.m. March 15 at Palmetto Moon at Mount Pleasant Towne Centre. Signatures are $20. Personal messages from this year's Capital One Bowl MVP are $25. Gamecock fans showed up in droves at a similar personal appearance Shaw made in January at a North Charleston retailer.
Tara Guerard of Tara Guerard Soiree, a locally based event design company, will host a pop-up shop at 420 King St. in Charleston this weekend to showcase her latest collection of interior furnishings, paper products, linens and other pieces.
The shop will be open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, when the BB&T Wine + Food Festival is expected to draw plenty of foot traffic to the area, and several events will be held throughout the weekend. Go to www.taraguerard.com. to see the full schedule.

Ladybird mothers mitigate offspring starvation risk by laying trophic eggs

A large proportion of ladybird beetle (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) eggs are apparently infertile—they do not develop an embryo and are consumed by larvae hatching within the egg batch. The predicted benefits of egg consumption for larvae are empirically well supported. An important question, however, remains: are these eggs a maternal strategy to feed offspring (i.e., trophic eggs) or did egg eating evolve to exploit unavoidably infertile eggs? We investigated the adaptive value of infertile eggs in laboratory experiments with multicoloured Asian ladybirds (Harmonia axyridis). Female H. axyridis were assigned to low and high resource environments for brief intervals; we predicted that tactics to facilitate egg cannibalism, such as infertile egg production and hatching asynchrony, would be adopted in low food environments in which starvation risk for offspring is greater. We conducted two experiments in this manner that provided females with information about resource levels through prey feeding or scent. We also observed female oviposition patterns and tested for infertile egg distributions that departed from random. Females produced 56% more infertile eggs in the low vs. the high food treatment; however, hatching synchrony did not change. We consider a potential confound between information and nutrition state unlikely because ladybirds are well able to tolerate low food for 24 h, the duration of trials, and because females were in good condition when trials began. Results suggest that ladybirds use information from prey encounter to manipulate the proportion of trophic eggs in a manner consistent with the adaptive hypothesis, the first evidence of trophic egg plasticity in a non-eusocial insect.

(A Foundation-funded Program)
The Foundation's Ed Stegner Natural Resource Scholarships were established to provide major financial aid to encourage and assist students in five areas of natural resource management: fisheries, forestry, wildlife, parks and recreation and soil and water conservation. Funding for this scholarship program was provided to the Foundation by Ed Stegner of Pilot Grove, Missouri. A Master Conservationist, Stegner is the former executive director of the Conservation Federation of Missouri, and is especially known for his leadership role in the passage of the 1/8th of 1% conservation sales tax to fund the Conservation Department's expanded program, Design for Conservation.
The Foundation's Ed Stegner Natural Resource Scholarships are a joint venture with the professional societies in the five different resource areas – i.e., the Missouri chapters of the Wildlife Society, American Fisheries Society and the Society of American Foresters, Missouri Parks and Recreation Association and the Show-Me Chapter, Soil and Water Conservation Society. These groups provide selection committees that pick the recipients in the respective categories. Once selected, the scholarship recipients are notified and each is presented a check in the amount of $1,000.00.
Applicants must be Missouri residents from any county or city in the state who are or plan to be enrolled as an undergraduate at a Missouri college or university in the chosen discipline of study. Preference will be given to individuals with a demonstrated financial need. Applications and supporting materials must be submitted by December 31. Procedures and application are on the reverse side.
How You Can Help
Scholarships are one of the Foundation's major areas of interest. You can contribute directly to this or any of the Foundation's established scholarship funds or establish a scholarship in your own name through the Foundation. You can also contribute through your workplace giving campaign under the Earth Share of Missouri federation. Federal employees can give in the Combined Federal Campaign by using code 67305.superintendent or principal.

World Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Day Successfully Commemorated Across The Globe
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dr. David Sandler and his team from the Oklahoma Heart Institute organized Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Day by providing a free lecture and yoga session. The event was held at the Oklahoma Heart Institute in Tulsa, Oklahoma and was open to the public. Dr. David Sandler opened the session with a review of the global impact of Atrial Fibrillation and the various treatment options. He described the traditional medical treatments and the concept of yoga as a method of preventing and reducing the burden of AF physically and psychosomatically. Jennifer Skaggs, a local yoga instructor and former patient was introduced. She proceeded to mesmerize the crowd with her story of overcoming medical issues with the help of her doctors as well as yoga. Her 30-minute yoga session left the crowd rejuvenated and inspired. All participants received a free yoga mat, courtesy of the Oklahoma Heart Institute.
In Scottsdale, Arizona Dr. Vijay Swarup from the Arizona Heart Rhythm Center led the World AF Awareness Day celebrations. There was a lecture followed by a 5K Run/Walk. Dr. Swarup states, "AF has reached epidemic proportion both in the developed and developing nations and we need a concerted awareness campaign to educate not only patients but also health care providers about the importance of early intervention."
