[more ▼] Termites digestive tract and hindgut especially still holds many secrets despites hundreds of years of research. The complexity of the symbiotic microbial community and the contrast of physio-chemical environments found in lower termites paunch are potentially the key point to explain the efficiency of ligno-cellulose digestion. Contribution of advancing technologies accelerates the progress of our knowledge in this field. Here, we present multiple approaches combining old and recent techniques used to highlight the effect of ligno-cellulosic compounds on termite gut and the role of populations from the symbiotic microbial community. Termites Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) submitted to various artificial diets showed variations in flagellates populations profile and enzymatic activities. Differential protein expression was investigated using 2D-DIGE MALDI-TOF-TOF and 2D-LC-MS/MS using high resolution orbitrap analyzer. Results from both proteomic experiments tend to support each-other and bring complementary points of view. The gel-free analysis resulted in highly contrasted identification of enzymes involved in ligno-cellulose digestion and metabolism. Finally, differential feeding experiments leaded to in vivo selection of different symbiotic communities. These communities were characterized following some metabolism assays and allowed the cultivation of diverse microbial consortia using media closely related to the respective artificial diets. This work provides relevant data on termite and associated microbial community response to alimentary diets.

[more ▼] The purpose of this work was the isolation and cultivation of cellulolytic and xylanolytic microorganisms extracted from the gut of the lower termite Reticulitermes santonensis. Microcrystalline cellulose (with and without lignin) and beech wood xylan were used as diets instead of poplar wood in order to select cellulose and hemicellulose-degrading fungi. The strain Sarocladium kiliense (Acremonium kiliense) CTGxxyl was isolated from the termites fed on xylan, while the strain Trichoderma virens CTGxAviL was isolated from the termites fed on cellulose (with and without lignin). Both molds were cultivated in liquid media containing different substrates: agro-residues or purified polymers. S. kiliense produced maximal β-glucosidase, endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase, exo-1,4-β-D-glucanase and endo-1,4-β-D-xylanase activities of 0.103, 3.99, 0.53, and 40.8 IU/ml, respectively. T. virens produced maximal β-xylosidase, endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase, exo-1,4-β-D-glucanase, and endo-1,4-β-D-xylanase activities of 0.38, 1.48, 0.69, and 426 IU/ml. The cellulase and the xylanase of S. kiliense, less common than T. virens, were further investigated. The optimal activity of the xylanase was observed at pH 9–10 at 60 °C. The cellulase showed its maximal activity at pH 10, 70 °C. Zymography identified different xylanases produced by both molds, and some fragment sizes were highlighted: 35, 100, and 170 kDa for S. kiliense and 20, 40, 80, and 170 kDa for T. virens. In both cases, endo-1,4-β-D-xylanase activitieswere confirmed through mass spectrometry.

In the field of fermentation ... [more ▼] Fungi are microorganisms exhibiting high secretive power of various metabolites and have the ability to perform post-translational modifications during protein synthesis. In the field of fermentation industry, they are ideal hosts for secondary metabolites and recombinant protein production. At the industrial-scale, equipments usually required for solid-state or submerged fermentation of filamentous fungi have demonstrated their limitations in terms of productivity, mass transfers or products recovery (1, 2). Recently, fungal biofilm reactors were designed to combine advantages from submerged and solid-state culture and reveal their usefulness for greater secondary metabolites production relative to submerged culture conditions (3). In our work, we propose the design of a fungal biofilm reactor for a recombinant protein production from an Aspergillus oryzae strain containing a GFP reporter gene system under the control of a promoter specifically induced in solid-state conditions. The fungal biofilm reactor is composed of a metal structured packing, having the function of inert support for biofilm growth, immerged or aspersed by a liquid medium. Whereas recombinant protein production is not significantly different at the flask-scale between submerged and biofilm conditions, productivity is higher in the submerged conditions at the bioreactor-scale. Presence of recombinant proteins entrapped in the biofilm matrix highlights a diffusion constraint and a lower mass transfer in our fungal biofilm reactor. However, persistence of a free liquid biomass of low viscosity and fungal biomass retention on the support are attractive for the implementation of a continuous process in our fungal biofilm reactor. Further studies will consider a 2-D proteomic comparison of the extracellular medium from fungal biofilm reactor and submerged culture conditions in order to better understand proteins secretion and identify over-expressed proteins in biofilm conditions.

Elles se retrouvent sous forme de macromolécules carbonées hétérogènes et complexes dans tous les écosystèmes au niveau des sols ainsi que des sédiments, des eaux de surface et des lixiviats de décharges. Elles sont issues de processus d'humification déférents, générant ainsi des molécules variables et complexes composées principalement de carbone, d'hydrogène, d'oxygène, d'azote, de soufre et de groupements fonctionnels (COOH, OH, C=O). Ces substances sont connues pour influencer les propriétés du sol et interagir avec la croissance et le développement des plantes ou avec l'activité des microorganismes. L'influence de la croissance des plantes s'exprime généralement de manière directe via la stimulation des processus biochimiques et métaboliques ou indirecte via l'amélioration de la nutrition minérale. Mais, l'intensité de réponse reste dépendante de différents paramètres tels que l'origine, la nature de la matière organique initiale, les processus de transformation et la concentration des SH ainsi que des conditions expérimentales et des plantes traitées.

[more ▼] This study investigates the mesophilic biohydrogen production from glucose using a strictly anaerobic strain, Clostridium butyricum CWBI1009, immobilized in a trickling bed sequenced batch reactor (TBSBR) packed with a Lantec HD Q-PAC® packing material (132 ft2/ft3 specific surface). The reactor was operated for 62 days. The main parameters measured here were hydrogen composition, hydrogen production rate and soluble metabolic products. pH, temperature, recirculation flow rate and inlet glucose concentration at 10 g/L were the controlled parameters. The maximum specific hydrogen production rate and the hydrogen yield found from this study were 146 mmol H2/L.d and 1.67 mol H2/mol glucose. The maximum hydrogen composition was 83%. Following a thermal treatment, the culture was active without adding fresh inoculum in the subsequent feeding and both the hydrogen yield and the hydrogen production rate were improved. For all sequences, the soluble metabolites were dominated by the presence of butyric and acetic acids compared to other volatile fatty acids. The results from the standard biohydrogen production (BHP) test which was conducted using samples from TBSBR as inoculum confirmed that the culture generated more biogas and hydrogen compared to the pure strain of C. butyricum CWBI1009. The effect of biofilm activity was studied by completely removing (100%) the mixed liquid and by adding fresh medium with glucose. For three subsequent sequences, similar results were recorded as in the previous sequences with 40% removal of spent medium. The TBSBR biofilm density varied from top to bottom in the packing bed and the highest biofilm density was found at the bottom plates. Moreover, no clogging was evidenced in this packing material, which is characterized by a relatively high specific surface area. Following a PCA test, contaminants of the Bacillus genus were isolated and a standard BHP test was conducted, resulting in no hydrogen production.

[more ▼] Wood-feeding termites are a considerable source of enzymes active on ligno-cellulosic compounds. These enzymes are produced by the termite host and some representatives of its symbiotic microbial community, and are of particular interest in regard second generation biofuel. However, the complexity of microbial interactions renders micro-organisms isolation very difficult. Culture-independent methods permitted to gather a large amount of data and to understand a little more the role of each microbial population, particularly the prokaryotes. Proteomics allows working on the final product of gene expression, and corresponds more to the real operation of the digestive system. In order to investigate such a complex system, it is necessary to use multidisciplinary approaches and to fractionate this system. Zymography or affinity chromatography are used in parallel of routine proteomics techniques such as two-dimensional gel electrophoresis associated to MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and nano-LC ESI-MS/MS. We used an artificial-diet based rearing to induce changes in microbial population balance. We performed preliminary assay to investigate the glycosylated proteome in the hindgut of a lower termite, using Multi-Lectin Affinity Chromatography (M-LAC) and enzymatic activity of harvested fractions was assessed on cellulosic substrates.

[more ▼] At present, most waste processing operations are not oriented towards the valorization of valuable reusable components such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and even Metallic Trace Elements (MTEs). Currently, sewage sludge, for example is usually used as a fertilizer in agriculture, in energy production or in the field of construction. Ashes originating from sludge incineration contain heavy metals and minerals in large quantities. Manure is mainly used in agriculture, although considerable amounts of nutrients are lost and cause pollution. Digestate is also used in agriculture, but other alternatives have been proposed, such as the energetic valorization. Better valorization of these wastes in agriculture (or other sectors) is however largely constrained by a multitude of legal requirements. An important problematic point is the concentration in MTEs that is found in those wastes. Consequently, recovery of nutrients and MTEsmay be a key solution for optimal valorization of wastes. Many unit operations used in the field of chemical and biochemical engineering (mechanical operations on fluids, solids, mass and heat transfers, chemical reactions, etc.) could be used in order to achieve an efficient recovery yield of nutrients and trace elements. The aim of the BioRefine Project is to make an inventory of all recovery techniques of nutrients and MTEs in five countries: Belgium, France, Germany, United Kingdom and The Netherlands. Pilot plants will also be tested to assess the efficiency of new treatment techniques after which the most efficient processes will be chosen to be applied on a larger scale. In addition, the collected data will be used to propose exploitation scenarios taking into account legal constraints and optimized logistics.This work is supported through an INTERREG IVB NWE programme(ref. 320J-BIOREFINE).

[more ▼] Soil Bacillus isolates may devote up to 8% of their genome to nonribosomal synthesis of lipopeptide (LP)- and polyketide (PK)-type antibiotics. LPs from surfactin, iturin and fengycin families are known to exert different actions on the wellness of the producing strain such as fungitoxicity (iturin, fengycin) or motility, root colonization and immune stimulating agent (surfactin). Nevertheless, few is reported about the actual antibiome secreted in situ by Bacillus cells during confrontation with phytopathogens or plant root colonization. We developed a method mimicking the conditions prevailing in the rhizosphere and, taking advantage of the versatility of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging, we were able to localize and identify antibiotics produced in situ by bacterial cells. First, we applied this new methodology to bioassays in which Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 98S were grown together with Fusarium oxysporum, with the aim of deciphering the role of the different LP families during the phytopathogen growth inhibition. Our results showed that the three LP families were readily produced in different proportions. Especially, images of surfactins, iturins and fengycins demonstrated that iturins are the antibiotic family actually involved in the antagonism against Fusarium oxysporum. In a second approach, we used a "in planta" model in which Bacillus amyloliquefaciens S499 was simultaneously grown with Tomato and Arabidopsis thaliana roots. Imaging results, obtained during a time course analysis, showed that surfactin is always the major lipopeptide detected. In further experiments involving a refined time-window, we observed that surfactin is actually produced as soon as 24h post inoculation. These results were the starting point of a wider study showing that the early accumulation of surfactin is a complex phenomenon involving, among other mechanisms, cell-well components recognition by bacteria, and that this interaction is a win-win association for both plant and bacterial cells.

[more ▼] Many wastes containing reusable components, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, are not exploited through ideal processes. As an example, in Wallonia (Belgium), the main treatment applied to sewage sludge consists in incinerating the material. Such a process is chosen when the heavy metals are too concentrated in the sludge, preventing an agricultural use. However, sewage sludge, as well as manure, slurry and digestate, contain notable amounts of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). Some Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are actually designed in order to promote Phosphate Accumulating Organisms (PAOs), able to store or release phosphorus in accordance with the environmental conditions. The aim of this work is to isolate PAOs from WWTPs and evaluate their applicability to phosphorus recovery from organic wastes. Metagenomics and metabolic properties are also considered. This work is supported by the BioRefine Project, a European project in which various member states focus on recovery of inorganics from organic wastestreams.

[more ▼] Arise from the chemical and biological degradation of plant and animal residues and from the synthetic activities of microorganisms in the soil, humic substances (HS) are natural heterogeneous aromatic and organic compounds. These substances are chemically complex with no clearly defined chemical structure, although generalized models have been proposed and they can be divided into fractions of humic acids, fulvic acids and humins depending on their solubility in water as a function of the pH. The stimulation of plant growth and development by HS are the activities that have attracted the attention of many scientists. They influence plant productivity directly by the stimulation of biochemical and metabolic processes or indirectly through the modification of soil characteristics and microflora activities. All together, these properties mainly affect root architecture. By inducing root hairs proliferation, differentiating root cells and enhancing lateral root emergence, an increase of the total root biomass is observed. Experiments targeting the rooting stages in absence of interferences were conducted in vitro using HS extracted from landfill leachate and a stable commercial formulation ("Humifirst" from TRADECORP company: 12% humic acid and fulvic acid 3%) issued from leonardite. Shoots and leaves explants of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) and black alder (Alnus glutinosa L. Gaertn) vitro-plants were treated with 10 ppm leachate HS and 100 ppm Humifirst HS for 5 days during the rooting induction/initiation phase. The treated explants were then transferred into elongation medium containing only nitrate calcium for 4 weeks. The results show that application of HS during the root induction/initiation phase did not significantly influence root growth of both species in comparison with control explants.

[more ▼] Biphenyl is stable and highly hydrophobic, thus having a low availability for degrading microorganisms, which need an aqueous environment for their growth. As a consequence, bioremediation processes are very limited. However, a few studies showed that using a low metal concentration accelerates the biodegradation of pollutants (Yeom and Yoo1997). Nanoparticles are considered as a new generation of compounds to improve environmental remediation and biological processes (Beckers et al. 2013; Zhang 2003). This paper investigated the enhancement effect of nanometre-sized metallic Cu, Ag, Pd or Co, on the biphenyl biodegradation by Rhodococcus erythropolis T902.1. Have been synthesized by a sol–gel process (Lambert et al. 2004). These nanoparticles (NP) of about 2–3 nm were encapsulated in porous silica (SiO2) and were added at low concentration (10-4M) in the M284 minimal medium with 500 ppm biphenyl as source of carbon and energy. The cultures containing Pd or Co produced 30% more biphenyl degraded with a higher Rhodococcus growth than those without NP (positive control) or with silica particles only. On the contrary, the presence of 10-4 M Cu or Ag nanoparticles showed an inhibitory effect on bacterial growth and biphenyl degradation compared to the positive.

[more ▼] Some soil Bacilli living in association with plant roots can protect their host from infection by pathogenic microbes and are therefore being developed as biological agents to control plant diseases. The plant protective activity of these bacteria has been correlated with the potential to secrete a wide array of antibiotic compounds upon growth as planktonic cells in isolated cultures under laboratory conditions. However, in situ expression of these antibiotics in the rhizosphere where bacterial cells naturally colonize root tissues is still poorly understood. In this work, we used Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MALDI MSI) to examine spatio-temporal changes in the secreted antibiome of B. amyloliquefaciens developing as biofilms on roots. Non-ribosomal lipopeptides such as the plant immunity elicitor surfactin or the highly fungitoxic iturins and fengycins were readily produced albeit in different time-frames and quantities in the surrounding medium. Interestingly, MS/MS experiments performed directly from the gelified culture medium, also allowed to identify a new variant of surfactins released at later time points. However, no other bioactive compounds such as polyketides were detected at any time, strongly suggesting that the antibiome expressed in planta by B. amyloliquefaciens does not reflect the vast genetic arsenal devoted to the formation of such compounds. This first dynamic study reveals the power of MALDI MSI as tool to identify and map antibiotics synthesized by root-associated bacteria and more generally, to investigate plant-microbe interactions at the molecular level.

[more ▼] Exposure of microbial cells to sub-lethal stresses is known to increase cell robustness. In this work, a two-compartment bioreactor in which microbial cells are stochastically exposed to sub-lethal temperature stresses has been used in order to investigate the response of the stress sensitive Bifidobacterium bifidum THT 0101 to downstream processing operations. A stochastic model validated by residence time distribution experiments has shown that in the heat-shock configuration, a two-compartment bioreactor (TCB) allows the exposure of microbial cells to sub-lethal temperature of 42°C for a duration comprised between 100 and 300 seconds. This exposure resulted in a significant increase of cell resistance to freeze-drying by comparison with cells cultivated in conventional bioreactors or in the TCB in the cold shock mode (CS-TCB). The mechanism behind this robustness seems to be related with the coating of microbial cells with exopolysaccharide (EPS), as assessed by the change of the zeta potential and the presence of higher EPS concentration after heat shock. Conditioning of Bifidobacteria on the basis of the heat shock technique is interesting from the practical and economical point of view since this strategy can be directly implemented in the bioreactor during stationary phase preceding cell recovery and freeze-drying [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 70 (27 ULg)Enzymatic process for the fractionation of baker's yeast cell wall (saccharomyces cerevisiae) ; ; et al Conference (2014, April 07) Detailed reference viewed: 13 (1 ULg) |

Immaterial: Zac Posen Strapless Bubble Dress
Okay, granted, it's a bubble dress. But, like anything, exceptions must be made. This Zac Posen Strapless Bubble Dress is actually, as the silhouette goes, on the acceptable side. The print follows that ubiquitous 'art-inspired' trend that's been rammed down our throats all season, though 'art-inspired' is better than most trends as far as we're concerned. There's something decidedly metaphysical going on here, where it could have easily been psychedelic (afterall, it's tie-died). See the Zac Posen Spring 08 collection below, where prarie met the big blue sky, right in the middle of the Bryant Park tents.

There I was on a cold day just sitting in the living room Ignoring the real world with my headphones on, I peeked outside the window to see a big wonderful tree being covered in falling white then I noticed it was Snowing. "Oh good, what's better than Freezing my ass off?" I said sarcastically. I decided to stand up and go up to my room where it was warmer, I then went to peek outside the window once more and I see some kids playing in the snow, "How can they play in it? I mean it's cold, wet and who would want to get frostbite? " I asked myself.

Elvis childhood home in Randers
Press release: Elvis' childhood home in Randers
Randers just can't get enough of Elvis. First Henrik Knudsen built a replica of Elvis Presley's home 'Graceland' (Memphis) and now he is ready to build a replica of The King of Rock'n'Roll's birthplace ( Tupelo, Mississippi).
It's a small wooden house of approx. 50 square meters, similar to the one that Elvis was born in on January 8, 1935. The house was in the poor, black neighborhood in the city and was built by Elvis' father, Vernon Presley, for the modest sum of $ 180. Henrik Knudsen's investment will be somewhat larger, but still significantly less than the construction of Graceland Randers.
"The house is identical to the original house in the U.S. and will be built in 1:1 scale," says Henrik Knudsen.
Elvis and his family lived in the house for 2 years before they moved to a new location.
"Nowhere else in the world is it possible to see both the house where Elvis was born as well as the one where he was found dead, just 42 years old. It's going to give people an understanding of where Elvis came from and the contrast to where he ended up, " says Henrik Knudsen.
The house will be finished around Graceland Randers' two-year anniversary in mid-April.
Graceland Randers Director believes that this extension and a lot of improvements to the existing museum, which are already in the pipeline, will attract tourists to Randers.

Yes i didnt real like is in AF- Auto focus i will try in MF- manual focus and see is work my IOS is set to 200
thanks guys I will try what you said is dark here now and cloudy i will try tomorrow
It sounds to me like you have the lens set to MF (manual focus) and the camera set to Tv or Av, possibly with ISO fixed too low - so it's the camera saying 'sorry, shutter speed/aperture/iso combination doesn't work', not the lens. Set the iso to auto and shutter speed to, say, 1000th/sec and let the camera find the aperture that matches. If you are convinced camera settings are OK, the lens may be saying 'sorry, can't autofocus', in which case switch to MF on the lens and manually set it to infinity, then see if you can get a shot. Hope this helps - once you fathom the problem you can make adjustments to get the sort of result you want.
If you have your lens on autofocus and the camera can't find a focus point, the shutter won't release. Try manual focus instead
I have a canon 1000d and trying to take a bird pic with a 75-300 lens and i need the setting for it please I put in M setting but will not lets me take it :(
can any one help me please and thanks
I have 550D and would like to be friendly with all those who have 550 D
I shot an event on Friday night. I went expecting to shoot a bunch of stills. When I arrived, they thought I should shoot a video of a Chinese Fan Dance they were performing. Having a 5D Mk III, I just threw a switch and did the movie for them.
It has dual card slots, one CF and one SDHC. That means I have some flexibility.
In camera HDR isn't all that exciting but since it keeps the shots it builds from, and they can be raw, it is convenient to get the files and they can be combined again later.
I was playing with a T3i the other day, I can see there are times a touch screen would be useful.
A tilt and swivel monitor would be wonderful. My CoolPIX cameras had that. It let me shoot a deer while staying out of sight. It is also helpful for shooting over a crowd or shooting landscapes, cars and so on from really low positions. I shot the atrium of a cruise ship with a really wide lens, with the camera on the deck, aimed up. It took several tries to get it just so. If the monitor tilted, I could have used live view and nailed it on the first pass. That is a great feature! Your cloths stay cleaner if you don't have to lie on the ground.
Feature modes? I use M, Av and P. If movie is on the mode dial, I sometimes use it too. On the 5D, movie is on the Live View button. I don't bother with the rest of the modes. Two of my bodies only have M, another has only M, Av, Tv, and P. The others have a collection of settings I don't use. I'm sure someone else uses them on their camera. Having them there doesn't seem to hurt me and if they sell a few more cameras because they are there, then my cost might be a little lower.
1/8000th is great for bees and humming birds! Getting enough light can be tough though.
So far the 5D Mk III has the best video Canon has put into a dSLR and it certainly doesn't seem to have hurt any of the still camera features.
But adding video features is not taking away anything from the still camera. Canon has the features.. it is a matter of where they are going to put them in the line-up. They may view some of those things as Pro features.. and would not put them in cameras below a certain point, regardless of what they do with video. It is a sales/marketing/brand decision.. not a technology issue. And certainly not a video issue.
I don't think that video will nullify the still capability but, there are several aspects of a still camera which I would much rather see than any bells and whistles aimed at video work.
1. Ability to auto-focus at f/8 which would allow me to use a 400mm f/5.6L lens with a 1.4x TC and still retain auto focus...
2. ISO at 50 or even 25 which would allow me to shoot long exposures without using a ND filter..
3. Dual memory card slots (BTW I like CF cards - they are virtually indestructible)
The above are perfectly feasible. Some of the 1D series cameras have these capabilities. However they would not help video so, why bother with them.
I wonder how many user selected modes that the 7D has. The 40D has 3; the 50D has 2; and the 60D reduced it to a single mode. The 7D retains the three User Selected modes of the 40D and I use these all the time. I wish someone would enlighten me regarding the number of User Selected Modes on the 70D. I cannot fin that information anywhere...
I the 7D has a far more sophisticated auto focus system for still shooting. Although the AF system of the 7D is not as good for video (one nullification of still capability).
I need touch screen capability like I need a third leg or eleven toes...
The creative filters: Grainy B/W, Soft Focus, Fish-Eye effect, Art Bold effect, Water Painting effect, Toy Camera effect or Miniature effect cannot be used with RAW or when you are using a viewfinder. This doesn't nullify the still camera functionality but it certainly doesn't add to it either!
I don't need or want an articulating LCD.
As far as "in-camera" HDR, I think that this is what I need along with the 12th toe!
I paid a lot less for my 7D cameras than the cost of a new 7D since I purchased them as Canon refurbished items. THE SMARTEST WAY TO BUY CANON CAMERAS AND LENSES...
I am not a necessarily a fan of snapshot.com for comparing cameras but here are the reasons they offer to buy the 70D:
Touch screen, Flip out screen, In-camera HDR, Movie continuous focus
These are the reasons they list to buy the 7D:
Rapd fire 8 FPS, 100% Viewfinder coverage, 131 ms shutter lag, faster shutter speed 1/8000 second
Note: I seldom need 1.8000 second to stop motion but sometimes need it to shoot wide open in brightly lit conditions.
Just curious what everybody thinks that they can do to these cameras with video that will some how nullify the still camera functionality.. ?

Why is the Economist is so obsessed with Obama? It must be selling or getting a lot of hits. I can see you are clinging to your pens and being bitter that a new ground is being broken.
I can't stand Obama. He is such a fake. His turning on the preacher that married him and christened his children, followed by his flip flopping on withdrawal of troops from Iraq, are but two glaring examples of an opportunistic uppity yuppie who believes that destiny will bring him the White House, and who will stop at nothing in the process.
No principals, no agenda, no clearly thought out policies, nada, just a bunch of hog wash.
Repulsive yucks!
Barack Obama is in a political corner. His views on foreign policy tend towards the naive or downright specious. His views on domestic economic policies are widely panned (by non-partisan economists) as the best way to assure an economic depression in the States. The more (mature) voters learn about this guy, the more he scares them. Obama is this generation's Jimmy Carter of 1976... the Jimmy Carter who came from nowhere in the wake of Watergate to become President -- and who went on to become the most feckless and unsuccessful American president of the 20th Century. So if the 2008 election ever gets down to policies, Obama will lose. This in spite of a mostly fawning main stream media -- that find a young, half-black rock star a lot more interesting than a 71-year-old, white-haired former prisoner of war. So, Obama runs as a rock star and maybe wins, or doesn't and almost certainly loses.
It's The Economist Fatigue. That's what it is. They fail to report that all of Karl Roves top henchmen are running the McCain misinformation campaign like the rest of the American press. It will do no good because McCain has made some foolish errors. When he hired Roves men, he connected the dots for the Democrats to show the voters in the fall where there can be no dispute as to McCain is nothing but a stand in for a George Bush third term. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Economist Magazine. Your doom & gloom like your cartoons of OBAMA will get you no where. Your not hard to see through.
He is "THE ONE"!!
I am not enthusiastic about EITHER candidate, and so I struggle to remain impartial on the subject.
Part of the fatigue is due to overexposure, the "embarrasse de richesse" that Senator Obama's campaign enjoys/suffers from; they are in EVERYone's face, 24/7; they have the money to spend, and no one could blame them for spending it on air time.
What troubles me is the fact that, while publicity is buzzing, POLICY is far from crystallizing into anything I could ever believe in. Senator Obama is either unaware, or unwilling to acknowledge the severely disruptive effect his "yes we can" big government would have on the U.S. economy.
I find that terribly troubling...
You are not allowed to use Barack Obama's name any more. Please keep printing only positive stories about John McCain.
I won't quibble about the substance of the article, but I would point out that one of your supports, the Gallup poll of "likely voters" is fatally flawed. It assumes that voters from 18-29 will be 10% of the voters, yet in 2004 that demographic made up 17% of the voters. That percentage will likely increase as the Obama campaign has targeted them more effectively than any previous Presidential campaign. Are Americans beginning to grow weary of Barack Obama? Perhaps, but you should use more credible evidence when making your argument in the future.
Yes, we are getting weary .... Obama is all sentiment and no substance
Energy policy is too important to be left to amateurs. Over the last eight years, America's relationship with its oil companies has deteriorated because of the populist instincts of the current president. McCain, on the other hand, enjoys an excellent relationship with professionals in the oil industry, and can therefore, be counted upon to make the right decisions in close collaboration with experts who actually know how to get the oil out of the sea and into our gas tanks. Greater governmental cooperation with oil companies will allow this country to bring about a lasting solution to the energy crisis by tappping the enormous oil reserves off our coasts.
Mini-marx Obama has written "..yes, I think its OK to tax everyone's income 100% ,so long as the state returns that back in benefits.."
If that is not socialism writ large, then nothing is.
America's wealth depends on free-market capitalism, not the stifling socialism of Europe.
So , "The Economist" is right. This is about issues.
Surrounding himself with, and parroting the economic beliefs of his socialist heroes, mini-marx Obama has dug himself into a hole that violates the American way, and will be rejected by most adult voters.
Over 50 % of working Jane's & Joes are in the stock market. The increased capital gains taxes and dividend taxes,proposed by mini-marx Obama, would hurt them the most.
Democrats of mini-marx Obama's ilk claim to be for the little guy, yet they trash the one route to wealth- capital gains and dividends- that encourage saving & thrift- that would enable working stiffs to escape the wage-slave trap.
Hypocrisy ,combined with economic stupidity,is the issue that will crush mini-marx Obama's drive for the Presidency and result ,for better or worse, in a President McCain.
Nice try, Economist. But all you've done is spin the conservative Cable News fodder. Have you no mind of your own? No one is tired of Obama except manybe the people who never supported him anyway. But they'd better get used to him because he's going to be around awhile. Why are you doing McCain's work for him? He'd love to believe this bogus nonsense. The pollsters keep calling everyone's grandmother and old uncle on land-lines. But wait until the cell phone and iPod generation get into the election booths. A recent poll conducted by text messaging concerning "Who could best handle the economy" had Obama at 87% and McCain at 17%. That's because it was conducted with cell phones! I may be a baby boomer, but I know when my time is done. The new generation will claim this election and I say "thank God." The last thing we need is another white haired old guy who can't even use e-mail trying to make decisions about the future of our country...while trying to win Vietnam in Iraq.
The article considers it an error, the Democrats "allowing the election to become a referendum on their candidate rather than a verdict on the Bush years."
It should be about NONE of the above: an election should not be a popularity-contest about the candidate ALONE, nor should it be driven by the perennial urge to "throw the rascals [of the departing administration] out." It should rather be about the POLICIES that the two candidates are proposing.
I can understand how people can get tired of hearing about Obama, he is overhyped by the media. The media should have been focusing on the fact that Mccain thinks that Iraq and Pakistan share a border, or that Al Qaeda is a Shiite entity supported by Iran, or that the Sunni Awakening (which happened 6 months before the surge) was caused by the surge. Or that Mccain will raise taxes on social security (which is already the biggest chunk taken out of my check)
In terms of foreign policy, my 6 year old daughter has a better grasp of foreign policy than Mccain. In terms of economic policy--my dog has a better plan than Mccain. I would rather hear "yes we can" and the mantra of "change" coming to a new administration than have to deal with the disaster that a Mccain administration will bring to our country.
This is the best analysis of the 2008 presidential campaign that I have read. Obama needs to give us more details of his change plan to convince me to vote for him and McCain is teetering on losing his independent straight-talking maverick identity. The candidate that reads this article and takes it to heart is most likely to win the election.
I'm a fully pledged Republican but I have to admit that Obama grabbed my eye 6 months ago. I was impressed with his charm and hard work. However, his lack of actual policy, his suggestions for lowering gas prices, and the Berlin speech/his world tour turned his fresh face rather sour. I'm wondering what Senate votes he miss while celebrating himself abroad...
Yet there is some good news for Obama. I read that Quentin Tarantino is going to be in Denver at the convention. There must be no feeling better than knowning that a global example of love and peace like Tarantino is showing his support. What a joke.
uh oh, get ready for the onslaught from every Obama supporter who reads this...

It is 5 a.m. – another night of little sleep. Two years of little sleep have passed since my son died because of a poor decision made by a Lancaster resident.
Mother's Day weekend is approaching, the second anniversary of my son's death. He was a healthy, strapping, handsome 37-year-old Marine staff sergeant, who was such a fine young man. I miss him terribly.
On May 11, 2007, during Bike Week at Myrtle Beach, my son, Michael, was driving his Harley-Davidson motorcycle north on U.S. 17 in South Myrtle Beach and had a passenger on back.
Don't panic! Although the swine flu has spread quickly in Mexico and there are now confirmed cases in most U.S. states, it would be easy to work yourself up and get very anxious about this outbreak. But should you?
What do the town of Irmo and the county of Anderson have in common? Both want taxpayers to see how their hard-earned dollars are being spent.
Letters to the editor
Push for K-12 education reform
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that when trading in your old car for a new one, you don't begin the negotiations by apologizing for it – by emphasizing it burns a quart of oil every one hundred miles, the brakes are shot, the front end needs a complete overhaul, the sunroof leaks, there is a terrible rattle in the trunk that the mechanics can't fix, and it won't start on rainy mornings.
Holden family grateful
for prayers, support
When is it going to stop? What can we do to stop it? I live on Peacewood Trail off Highway 75 at the state line. There was wreck there on Wednesday (April 22) morning. This is the second major road-closing wreck within 500 feet this week. Two days ago, the wreck was on the North Carolina side and we lost power for eight hours.

text: Based on a 1943 short story "Mimsy Were the Borogroves" by Henry Kuttner and his wife C.L. Moore (who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Padgett) The Last Mimzy makes reference to Lewis Carroll's famous nonsensical poem "Jabberwocky" which appeared in his novel Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There. Kuttner and Moore believed the poem may have actually been a communication with hidden meaning from the future so the movie expands on this idea. We meet 10-year-old Noah Wilder (Chris O'Neil) and his younger sister Emma (Rhiannon Leigh Wryn) who find a mysterious box on the beach that contains some strange devices they think are toys including a beat-up stuffed toy rabbit who Emma calls Mimzy. As Noah and Emma start exhibiting paranormal behavior--including blacking out their city for a few minutes—their parents (Joely Richardson and Timothy Hutton) grow more concerned especially when Mimzy turns out to be more than just a toy armed with a serious warning about mankind's future. Slapping on an environmental message IS the latest craze after all. Part of Mimzy's problem unfortunately stems from the stiff performances especially from the young actors. We've become accustomed to super-kids who can genuinely act their way out of a paper bag. But newbies O'Neil and Wryn really don't have those innate acting skills even if they exhibit moments of valid emotions. Their cutesy affectations could be as much director Robert Shaye's fault as anything else since kids need guidance—but more on that later. As for the adults Richardson and Hutton are also fairly nondescript as the hapless parents while Michael Clarke Duncan looks utterly lost as the big bad government guy who just wants to get to the bottom of what he perceives as a possible terrorist threat. The only actors who look like they are having any fun are Rainn Wilson (The Office) as Noah's quirky science teacher and Kathryn Hahn (Crossing Jordan) as Larry's New-Age-y fiancé who is able to shed some light on what's happening to the kids. These two should definitely play more on-screen couples. As Alice in Through the Looking Glass puts it "Somehow ['Jabberwocky'] seems to fill my head with ideas—only I don't exactly know what they are!" Apparently neither does director Robert Shaye. You see his job up to this point has been running New Line Cinema as its co-founder. Now while I've always suspected studio heads are all frustrated filmmakers shelling out the big bucks does not a director make. Shaye even enlisted New Line-contracted executive producer Toby Emmerich to co-write the script with Bruce Joel Rubin who has really never risen above his claim-to-fame Ghost. Obviously The Last Mimzy is a New Line frat party but certainly these guys are not the strongest of talents either with the camera or the pen. They take what seems to be a fairly compelling premise and simply turn into Hollywood schlock stealing elements from several other films of Mimzy's Spielberg-ian/Carl Sagan-ian ilk including A.I. E.T. and yes Contact. Too bad.
