Duke Named to National Network Studying Rare Diseases
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
By Duke Medicine News and Communications
DURHAM, N.C. – Duke University is one of six new clinical sites in the country that will participate in a recenty formed Undiagnosed Diseases Network established by the National Institutes of Health.
The network is designed to advance the understanding of some of the most difficult-to-solve medical mysteries and develop effective approaches to diagnose them.
Duke and the other five new clinical sites will each receive grants totaling approximately $7.2 million over four years to evaluate and investigate cases that involve patients with prolonged, undiagnosed conditions. The principal investigators at Duke are Vandana Shashi, M.D., and David Goldstein, Ph.D.
Undiagnosed diseases are conditions that even skilled physicians cannot diagnose despite extensive clinical investigation. Doctors may not recognize them because they are rarely seen, are little understood, or are rare forms of more common diseases.
"Patients and families shoulder a huge burden medically, emotionally and financially while pursuing a specific diagnosis of a rare disorder," Shashi said. "Duke's participation in this network and our prior experience with rare disorders will enable us to provide diagnostic resolution, information relevant to other family members and potentially new treatment options to many such patients and their families."
Each clinical site will contribute local medical expertise to the newly formed Undiagnosed Diseases Network, which builds upon and includes the NIH's Undiagnosed Diseases Program. That program, which began in 2008, has enrolled approximately 600 undiagnosed children and adults in clinical protocols. Using a combination of genomic and clinical analyses, the multidisciplinary clinical and research effort diagnosed approximately 100 patients (up to 25 percent of those evaluated), discovered two unknown diseases and identified 15 genes not previously associated with any other human disease.
By including an additional six clinical sites, the Undiagnosed Diseases Network will both draw upon the unique expertise of new clinical research groups and cultivate opportunities for collaboration among a larger group of expert laboratory and clinical investigators. Physicians within the network will collect and share high-quality clinical and laboratory data, including genomic information, clinical observations and documentation of environmental exposures. They also will benefit from common protocols designed to improve the level of diagnosis and care for patients with undiagnosed diseases.
"At Duke, we have been running a formal sequencing clinic for several years now and this experience has taught us how important it can be to think hard about each and every patient genome, and to consider their genomes carefully in the context of their specific clinical presentations," Goldstein said. "This is the exact philosophy embodied in the UDN, and we are eager to participate in a project that we hope will help to change the way genomics is used in the study of rare serious diseases."
In addition to Duke, the other newly designated clinical sites are Baylor College of Medicine; Harvard Teaching Hospitals through the Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital; Stanford University; the University of California, Los Angeles; and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Google Acquires Chip Maker Startup Agnilux 150
from the keeping-up-with-the-jobses dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Google has had their hands in some aspects of hardware for a while now. They have their own custom designed server motherboards.
apparently nobody paid attention to the fact that every android phone runs on arm, aka google is already investing in ARM.
I can feel a lawsuit coming...
If those guys didn't get sued after leaving Apple and starting their own company, why do you think Apple would have any legal grounds to come after them now?
I don't actually believe that Apple lost a lot of momentum in this defection. In general, it's the folks who had alternative ideas for an architecture that didn't win out that tend to leave. I bet Google eventually gets stuck with something like a chip that has an insane pipeline structure, makes a different power/speed tradeoff (and probably for the worse), or has some other weird bag o'crap bolted to the side.
In addition, there are a *lot* of chip designers still left over from the chip manufacturer layoffs after the crashes of
So, even if Apple sues, it's just because (a) Apple like using its lawyers and (b) it kicks Google in the nuts - it really doesn't mean much for Apple's future chip development.
The reality is that Google is not a monolithic entity that does everything poorly. I don't think the search team has much to do with the Android team. They probably don't have many "jacks of all trades", but instead have many small, focused teams that are really good at what they do.
Just because they share the same brand name doesn't mean they all work out of one homogenous brain-pool.
It is masked but always present. I don't know who built to it. It came before the first kernel.

South Africa Posted on August 17, 2011 by SurfGirl What to expect Africa – just the word conjures up images of adventure. To the surfer, Africa means Durban, Cape Town and one wave in particular: the princess of the south, Jeffrey's Bay. A small town now surrounds the legendary wave that has become a Mecca for surfers around the globe. When to go Best season: April- July, but there are waves all year round in Cape Town and Durban. Where to surf Beginners should check out North Beach in Durban for plenty of fun peaks. Intermediates can head for the shelving waves of Ballito and the Umhlanga Rocks area. Advanced surfers should check out J-Bay. At its best J-Bay is all things to all surfers, a long wave with plenty of room for manoeuvres, tube riding and speed. Cold and often windy (from the storms needed to produce the optimum surf conditions) this is not the place to go to bask on the beach. What will £20 buy you? The close proximity of the world renowned national wildlife parks, mean lounging around and sunbathing should be low on your list of priorities. £20 will pay for an unforgettable wildlife-checking day out.

Can any camellias stand full winter morning sun?
I realize this question has probably come up before--even many times before--but it's hard to know which search terms to use for exactly my situation. So...
We have a sloping front yard that faces east, so the entire yard gets good, strong morning sun. In addition, it gets the full effect of either north wind or south (both of them typical of incoming weather systems in my area), so there's the additional hazard of wind chill and drying.
Given those conditions: are there any camellias that could stand being planted in this front yard? We have several, doing beautifully, on the shady north side, so I know the winter temperatures aren't too low; but some of them languished in the front before they were laboriously moved.
I've seen a few camellias in open sun in yards around here....zone 7a and they do OK. Not sure what varieties they are though. And I'm not sure how they'd do in zone 6B. Make sure they're not against a warm wall AND getting morning sun. And be ready for bronzed and scorched leaves and flowers as well as some die-back. As to varieties, look up Camellia Forest Nursery under Cold-Hardy and look for the most hardy.
>Given those conditions: are there any camellias that could stand being planted in this front yard? We have several, doing beautifully, on the shady north side, so I know the winter temperatures aren't too low; but some of them languished in the front before they were laboriously moved.
Hi Steve,
It's probably more a matter of drying winds than of the morning sun. Our camellias are mostly in the sun all morning, mid-day, and afternoon all day long throughout the winter (because the many deciduous trees have lost their leaves then) and they do fine. However, they tend to have more of a windbreak than most yards would have; besides having some tree trunks as partial windbreaks they're in with lots of other plants too--rhododendrons and azaleas--many of which are plenty large enough to reduce the problems from wind. And there is some wind protection from a berm too.
If you go ahead with the idea on putting back camellias where you've had some not too happy camellias previously, then consider adding some ways to slow down the wind during the worst of winter's winds. And make sure that you don't forget to water during the winter. One other thing that you might try would be spraying with Wilt-Pruf in the late fall. I've never actually done that with a camellia so I don't know whether it's a good idea or not; it's just something I'd probably try if I were nervous about a plant's winter hardiness.
I've seen sections of woven wooden fencing added to a yard to provide an attractive backdrop for a group planting. Something like that might help and make a nice highlighting for the camellias in your front yard too and featuring them in groups together with other evergreens would help with the wind problem too. You wouldn't have to fence the entire yard to be able to have some impact on winter's winds.
The hiemalis camellia shishigashira would be one of the camellias that might do just fine in your front yard; it is reputed to do well in everything from full sun to full shade. Best of luck with whatever you end up doing.
Best wishes,
I have "April Blush" and "April Dawn", two of each. One of the Blush is in mostly shade, but the other one gets morning sun all year. Both of the Dawn get afternoon sun. They are near a south-facing wall and fence but there is a lot of wind here. They are all fine, but the Blush that is in the shade does better than the Blush that gets sun, although both are fine and bloom.
I can highly recommend a fall blooming "Snow Flurry", which gets a lot of morning to midday sun, and it is rock hardy here in Zone 6B. It has hundreds of white flowers, usually from October into December. I've had it for over 10 years and no problems at all. I have to cut it back to keep it from overtaking the area!
I agree with the above post about grouping with some other evergreens, for backdrop effect as well as wind protection.
Best of luck with yours.
I have a Winter Joy planted in a spot that gets full sun. I only planted it last November, so the jury is still out. But the leaves are more a light green than dark green. I am hoping it adjusts. If not, I may move it.
I would not ordinarilly put one there, but that is where the Japanse garden is and it needed a Camellia.
Dr. Ackerman says, no. He recommends pine trees to protect the camellias. I have an old large hickory tree, not much shade; so I wrap the camellias in burlap to shade from the winter sun. And I have a north facing slope that Dr, Ackerman recommends. Zone 6A camellias do well. I'd select from what Camellia Forest carries. I had to move the Zone 6B camellias further down the slope and further out of the sun. Of them only Nuncio's Pearl blooms well.

Gather around children for a tale heroes and magic. A story with adventures so grand I have not the time nor words to tell of them. Basically new maps were released for aprox 800 points. I was like omfg i have to get them.Luckily i showed some restraing and did not purchase the maps. However about a week later the price was slashed in half and i was like wow I have to buy them now. Unfortunetly i was the only one who thought that. No on else bought the maps. The worst part is to add insult to injury about a few more week later they were FREE. NO one still got them. Then ea released two more map packs and me with my folly bought both. Having not leared my leason with first map pack. The leason hear is do not buy the maps. Even if you wanted them only one of the 3 map pack remain on live so you can't even buy all of them anymore

I'm going crazy with this :( Working in iOS6
I have an UITextView with a text in which each second I append an NSString to it and scroll to the last line appended. This way ->
[textView setText:[textView.text stringByAppendingString:newText]];
[textView scrollRangeToVisible:NSMakeRange([textView.text length], 0)];
I would like to use NSMutableAttributedStrings instead of NSString in order to format the text.
I have been searching everywhere but I haven't found anything. Is there any way to concatenate NSMutableAttributedStrings?? The current in the UITextView and the new one??
Thanks in advance

Musa Basjoo Growing Tips
I have been monitoring this group and have noticed that a lot of you have questions and concerns when it comes to growing Musa Basjoo. Some of you are disappointed in the rate of growth that you have gotten from your Musa Basjoos and other bananas. Well, let not your heart be troubled as I have some tips that I am all too happy to pass along that virtually guarantee success.
Soil: Bananas in general like deep, rich loamy soil so, before you plant till in generous amounts of soil amendments like composted cow manure, old potting soil, shredded leaves, compost, pine bark, top soil etc. and plenty of MILORGANITE fertilizer from Lowes or Home Depot. Be very generous in the amounts of the soil amendments and MILORGANITE as it will make a huge difference during the growing season.
Mulch: Use ONLY organic mulches and NEVER shredded tires or white rock as this is very important to keeping growth and nutirent exchange sustained. Pine straw, wood based mulch of any kind, hay, straw, shredded leaves or grass clippings will do just as long as the area has some mulch during the growing season. This helps retain the moisture that keeps bananas growing in the heat.
Water and liquid fertilizer: Bananas will only grow well if they are watered well and need to be watered and fertilized much more than any other plant in your garden. I recommend 3 to 4 times per week and atleast once a week use Miracle Gro or other water based fertilizer while you water. If you don't do this you will be disappointed with substandard growth.
Dry Fertilizer: 2-3 times per growing season this needs to be applied heavily and if not done will not yield the sustained growth desired. I recommend Milorganite, but almost any good NKP ratioed fertilizer will do.
Again if you think you have added too much, add some more. It is also critical that watering be done right after the application of the dry fertilizer to prevent any chance of burning..yet it has never happend to my bananas even when mounds of Milorganite was applied.
Sun to Part sun sitting is critical to produce the large leaves and tall stems of bananas. If you follow these directions you too can expect 15-20 foot bananas by the end of the growing season that will shock the neighborhood.
Good luck!
Great advice,
Now I need to find out if Milogranite is available in Ontario.
On average my psuedostem reach about 6ft and another four to six feet worth of leaves, for a total height of about 10-12ft. I would love to get them over 15ft the only problem I have is discipline.
Here's mine.6-9-07
Same tree with the new one I got on 8-27-07
The one on the right is the little guy pictured above 2 1/2 months later. The one on the left is from the same nusery that I got for free on Monday the 27th. The lady kept it in a pot all summer. I dont know how it managed to put out such large pups in a container that small. When I got it I just sunk the whole pot into the ground because there's no sense in planting it in the ground this late. I'm going to keep them dormant in my basements unheated storage room. I know they can stay in the ground but I want to keep the height. All of the pups will go into pots and be kept growing in my house over the winter. Some will be given away to friends and family.
Hey Virginian where about are you from? I grew up in Woodbridge/Dale City VA.
Josh: I am in Southern Loudoun County in Potomac Falls/ Sterling, Virginia, a bit northwest of where you grew up, but still in the area. If you drive down before the frost hits, let me know as I would be happy to give you a tour of my garden loaded with palms, bananas, cannas, gingers and other cold hardy and tender tropicals.
WOW! Panama John! HeHe. Boca Joe gave me the link to smug mug. I saw the Virginia Palm Society post a while back. It's an honor to talk to you guys. "I'm not worthy" lol! Your house looks beautiful. Send me an e-mail and let me know what weekend would be good for you. My wife and kids could come down and get the grand tour. It's such a small world. My brother lives in Stafford and is a police officer in Arlington. About a month ago he showed me a 10-12ft Trachy in one of the neighborhoods he rides through. It's a nasty neighborhood but an awesome tree. My brother discovered it in the middle of a snow storm last winter. Go figure. We are both obsessed with palms, tropicals, cycads, etc... I just wish our parents would've realized what types of plants we could've had when we lived there. I would have alot more experience with this stuff now. I've only been interested since I went to Florida in Feb 06. Drop me a line! I'm only about 70 miles away. Josh.
I will be in contact soon. Boca is an awesome guy who really helped me get started in this hobby way back in 2005. You are more than welcome to come take a tour. Check out the latest on my website.
Here is a link that might be useful: Panama John's Tropical Zone
I'm speachless John. That's amazing! I now have more faith that I can do this here in PA. The only difference between your area and mine is two tiny little mountains between here and Frederick,MD. That's what makes you a zone 7 and me a zone 6b. Although, on average S.Central Pennsylvania is a zone 7. It's those couple days every 7-10 winters that it drops to -10F for a few hours that screws it all up. It's definately worth the investment though. I just wish more people in areas like yours and mine that want and love tropicals would realize they can have it. I guess it's up to people like us to inspire them. You've got a huge headstart on me though. Talk to you later.

One doesn't need a B.A. in Classical Studies to be familiar with the mythological tale of Sisyphus. The abbreviated version is that Sisyphus, as punishment for his wrongdoings, is sentenced to push a large stone up a steep hill and every time he approaches the zenith the stone rolls back down the hill and the cycle continues, for eternity. This existence of failure and repetition bears overarching similarities to those who are battling the problems of the 21st century — feeling that they are destined to their fate. Yet, there is hope for those fighting the 21st century woes of constantly pushing that rock up a hill: clearing the memory of its clutter.
This revelation has come from researchers at Brigham Young University who took it back to the basics with their study. Brock Kirwan, a neuroscience and psychology professor at BYU, along side his former grad student D.J. Shelton, put participants through a computer-aided memory test to get a better understanding of depressions effect on our memory (read more about the research method here, at ScienceDirect).
The study revealed that participants with varying forms of depression have more trouble remembering and retaining new information than contemporaries who are free of depression. Professor Kirwan elaborates on this as he explains, "There are two areas in your brain where you grow new brain cells," adding, "One is the hippocampus, which is involved in memory. It turns out that this growth is decreased in cases of depression." This news may be alarming for those with depression or those having trouble treating their depression. Life is full of new experiences, and being held back from retaining and holding onto these memories seems to be a sad cherry on the top of an already challenging outlook.
Depression, however, is not a life sentence. Having this mental disorder enter your life does not have to be a Sisyphean fate. Finding the proper medication coupled with the right team of people (psychiatrists, therapists, etc.) to speak with and mentor you is an important first step in the conquest. Other helpful steps in attempting to live a happy life with depression include telling those you love what you are going through, finding communities and forums comprised of individuals who have gone through and are going through similar ordeals, and finding outlets to refocus your energy, to name just a small handful.
Take it from someone who had a two year run-in with his own mental shortcomings in the form of obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety. OCD and anxiety, albeit a different demon than fighting depression, finally presented me with an ultimatum: either live with the constant speed-bump down every path I walk, or attempt to skate downhill happily uninhibited, as I once had. Although I believe that medications are very helpful for a vast majority, I was one who wanted to treat my aliments naturally. It takes a strong person to attempt to deal with such complex issues alone, and it is not a recommended pursuit, for mine proved to be unobtainable. Through a combination of support and self betterment, I was able to conquer my demon -- although it still presents itself and when it does I use the tools I have to put it in its place.
Each individual can benefit from gaining further insight as to why they are suffering from a mental health issue. This is where neurofeedback and BrainPaint, such as the services being provided at Urban Brain and Body, LLC in Chicago, can make a profound impact on your well being. Seeing the image of your working brain is a powerful vision. Over time, with neurofeedback and BrainPaint, one is able to clear the clutter that is blocking one's brain waves from flowing properly. It is fitting that BrainPaint seems destined as the tool of the next decade and beyond in helping with the fight against mental health issues. BrainPaint is natural, interactive, and individualized; terms and ideological principles of this new generation of people dealing with problems that are generations in the making. As we continue to learn more about depression, OCD, anxiety, and the like, those suffering from such fates will continue to look for help in an array of avenues.
Help is here, and it is on an avenue -- well, a plain old city street -- near you. BrainPaint and neurofeedback may be the help you have been searching for all along, because in the end, seeing the way your brain works takes you back to a time where you remember it working the way you liked; where you remember being the person you wanted to be, where you were happy. It takes time, but the constant pursuit of happiness and fulfillment is a pursuit always worth taking, because as Albert Camus said, "One must imagine Sisyphus happy." That is life, attempting to conquer your goals and setbacks, making your way up hill, and regardless of the outcome one has to believe that the pursuit is worthwhile.

i need help with my lazy, filthy, obnoxious roomies
i live in THE nastiest apartment in my complex. okay, that might not be true, but it's close. i don't know what these boys were doing prior to my living there, but the place is an ungodly nightmare. i'm afraid to clean up because i know nobody will care and the place will be disgusting again in a day or two, if that.
the carpets are moldy - i'm getting them replaced, though. but that's not the worst of it. NOBODY PICKS UP AFTER HIMSELF. they don't seem to care that there is no place to sit that isn't nasty, filmy, and smelly. they don't seem to care that there are puncture holes in the walls, or that fruit flies call our kitchen home. nobody picks up after himself, so crap is strewn everywhere. in fact, for a long time we had a broken pool table that i had to argue over for weeks to get rid of because one of my roommates wanted to keep it FOR BEER PONG. I DO NOT WANT BEER PONG PLAYED IN MY APARTMENT.
what i'd really like is a whole new set of roommates, preferably obsessive-compulsive neatfreaks who can't stand the sight of one lone hair resting on the counter, but since i know that's a pipe dream, so i was wondering: WHAT can i do to get these guys to help me out? i feel like a slave to filth.
I agree, don't even try to change them. When I was 18 I moved out of my parents house into an apartment with a girl I hardly knew from work. BIG MISTAKE! She was a slob and didn't mind a stinky atmosphere. Gross...I am a very clean person. I walk into my house and if it's dirty in any spot, I go right to the cleaning cabinet! No joke! Anyway, she would leave alfredo sauce in the sink until it rotted, she'd leave popcorn and half empty glasses in her room, destroy the bathroom (Which made me resort to using the 1/2 bath as my own) and much much more. I tried nagging at first, which just ticked her off. Then I tried STOPPING cleaning which just made a huge mess for me to clean up, then finally I talked to the LL about her and asked if there was anything I could do. She was a lawyer and told me that if it was becoming inhabitable with her, to tell her that she needed to get her act together or I was going to move out and leave her with the rent and utilities on her own. Yes, bail on her. She didn't understand the law about leases or anything like that. I was the one in charge of the bills and collecting money from her. One lump sum usually and it was ALWAYS about two weeks to a month late. She cleaned up her act for about a week and a half, then one day I came home from work and ALL of her stuff was gone. She had moved out! I was super happy with that! The LL took her to court for bailing on the lease and hopefully she has learned her lesson.

Hi: 10° Lo:1°
By Tristan Harris Thursday 13 March 2014 Updated: 17/03 22:48
ON SUNDAY (March 9), before Rev Chris Wingfield's last service at St John's, he blessed the two recently reinstated railwaymen's graves in Bromsgrove Cemetery.
We reported last month that the memorials - to mark the tragic deaths of Thomas Scaife and Joseph Rutherford - were put back where they belonged with cash collected with the support of the Railway Heritage Trust, the Bromsgrove Society, the IME and others.
The pair died in 1840 when the boiler of the locomotive they were working on in a yard at the foot of the Lickey Incline exploded, with the accident leading to the formation of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IME) which sets new standards of engineering.
They were originally laid to rest with simple tombstones but the following year Mr Rutherford's widow had a larger memorial made. Mr Scaife's colleagues then raised money to have a similar gravestone made for him, inscribed with a poem which has become folklore among railway enthusiasts.
With his short ten-minute service, in the presence of the church's wardens, Rev Wingfield re-dedicated the two stones to the graves of the men who lay below and remembered those who gave their lives in service.
He also spoke about the future generations of rail workers and asked for God's blessing on them, their families and those who travel by train today.
Alastair Moseley from the church said: "He thanked God for the fact there were people in this parish who worked hard to see the gravestones returned to where they belonged."

Today's Featured Article - NBC
NBC is an American television corporation. During television's "golden age," NBC was a big member of the "Big Three," which tirelessly presented the same content as its two rivals.
In the modern era, NBC has split into dozens of niche channels and projects, which swim in every American's video bloodstream like an antibody looking for an infectious idea to latch onto and destroy.
NBC was begun by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), eventually to stand proudly alongside CBS and ABC. This was the reassuring 20th Century, in which everything big had a three-letter abbreviation. There was no torture of terrorists but merely DOD, and RET to the ROK, and welfare was simply HUD and HEW, and even spoke English without an African American accent, LOL. It was a nation where Grandpa still had decades left before discovering that permanent foreign involvement and the welfare state didn't work — and even after he did, he would keep getting checks in the mail from the SSA.
RCA had acquired two radio stations, WJZ in Newark and WEAF in New York City. RCA was perturbed that WEAF had more than three letters, and no less perturbed that no one could listen to both stations at the same time (as people had at most one radio).
At the time, no one wanted to listen to even one radio station, and they did so only because the only alternative was going outdoors and listening to sirens and gunshots. The scientists of the day were experimenting with using radio to send pictures as well as sounds, and RCA management was experimenting with running two businesses without two staffs. "We are starting a network" became a more pleasing posture than, "We are firing all the employees and keeping their pay."(more...)

Yesterday's Featured Article - Raphael
Raphael (1483-1520), he of the sickly smiling Madonna and Child paintings, the School of Athens fresco at the Vatican and the Galatea slap-on work, hasn't aged so well as regards his artistic reputation. No one cites him as an influence except the purveyors of the chocolate box school of artists whose work can often be found staring down at you from Catholic Church cathedrals. Raphael lived well and died in his late 30s, just before he would have lost his hair and developed a paunch.
Raphael became exceedingly filthy rich, successful and the toast of Renaissance Rome. He must have been insufferable to all those who crossed his path: Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo could rare agree on anything but both hated the 'boy' with intense passion, especially Michelangelo who was rumoured to have been turned down for a bit of man-on-man action with the young pretender when they both worked on the Sistine Chapel. He could have become a saint except in the manner of his death - a heart attack after some rigorous in-studio rogering of his favourite mistress Margherita Luti.
Born Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, 'Raphe' grew up with angelic kiss-me-quick hair curls and a smile that got him a lot of work - and clients amongst the cassock lifters in the Roman Catholic Church. These were the days before Martin Luther's banging rude jokes on church doors and at time when the Papacy was in a full, florid corruption that so angered the sober sided Christians that they would later smash up churches in the manner of Gaiseric the Vandal a thousand years earlier.
Blessed with Italian pretty boy genes and a smeary palette, Raphael soon showed he knew how to get work. This essentially meant from two sources: The Catholic Church or rich italians who wanted to boast of their achievements and attractions with portraits. Others wanted suitable cultural pagan myths illustrated for bedroom stimulation. In reply, Raphael just gave them a lot of Madonnas with Jesus sitting pretty on her lap. (more...)

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Political implications of missing airplane
WASHINGTON — You almost have to feel bad for the Malaysian government. For years, the world has largely looked the other way from its corrupt and oppressive political system thanks to its impressive economic performance. But now, the search for a missing plane — from an airline which, by the way, has one of the region's best safety records — has tarnished the country's reputation in just a week. While the disappearance is genuinely baffling — and I think it's far from clear that any country could have done a better job at finding the plane — the search is already being described as an illustrative example of the country's opaque and dysfunctional political culture.
Then again, you can't feel too bad for them. While Malaysia's lack of transparency isn't the reason the plane hasn't been found yet, it's clearly not helping. The government has been heavily criticized for waiting four days before publicly disclosing that military radar may have picked up signs that the plane was diverted from its course. Vietnam says it is scaling back its participation in the search after complaining of "insufficient information" from the Malaysians. China, home to more than two-thirds of the plane's passengers, has also criticized the "confusion" of the Malaysian response.
Neither of those countries, it should be said, are exactly considered paragons of political transparency. Another explanation for the lack of communication that has characterized this search is that these countries don't really trust each other very much under normal circumstances due to territorial conflicts and anxiety about China's growing influence.
There's also plenty of precedent for authoritarian governments withholding important information from the international public during crises. The Chinese government's actions during the first SARS epidemic in 2003 and the Saudi government's handling of the recent MERS outbreak are among the best known examples. (And also far more dangerous than slowing the search for a missing jetliner, given that information about a viral outbreak can keep new people from getting infected.)
Until we know more about why the plane was diverted, it's hard to say quite what the political implications of the disappearance will be. But the search does represent a collision between a government used to enjoying — and vigorously enforcing — a culture of political secrecy, and an international media that has frankly gone a bit overboard in fully expounding on every possible explanation, shred of evidence and twist in the investigation.
Again, I don't think we have any reason to believe that any other country would have found the plane faster. (China's leads haven't panned out either and the best estimates from U.S. officials are extremely vague.) But if the Malaysian government has any aspirations of developing an international reputation to correspond with the country's booming economy, this hasn't been a great couple of days.

Plenty of space, but still choosing SFG!!
Hello everyone... I live in central MA, and have an acre of land. I bought the house from my parents, who had two classic "double dig, black plastic mulch" gardens. These gardens did extremely well over the 25 years that they were here. My dad could (and would) grow just about anything you could imagine. The soil is absolutely ideal...
I tell you that so I can tell you this: My first year there, I planted a single 4x8 box in the middle of one of the 30x40 gardens. Needless to say, my gardening friends and family thought I was nuts, but hey... I am crazy about SFG. My first year (last year) I had disappointing results. Four crops (of the 10 I planted) that did well were peas, beans, broccoli, and swiss chard. Tomatoes, summer squash, cucumbers, radishes, carrots, and spinach all did poorly. I followed Mel's mix recipe to the T. I was, however, at a pitch. One end of my box was about 6-10 inches lower than the other. We had quite a wet summer in the northeast, but nevertheless, I was not happy.
This year, unrelenting, I'm adding a 4x8 box (as well as two 2x2's for potatoes). I'm going to use the organic fertilizer that I only used for side dressing last year when I plant, as well as every 2-3 months. I will still use Mel's Mix in the boxes. I have reloated the garden area so it gets a little more sun (now approx. 8-9 hrs a day of direct sunlight), and I am going with 12 inch boxes, opposed to the 8 inch boxes I had last year.
First of all, does anyone have any suggestions for any other improvements I could make? Secondly, am I nuts for paying an arm and a leg to fill these boxes with Mel's Mix, when I have 25 year in the making black gold at my feet?
First of all, does anyone have any suggestions for any other improvements I could make? Secondly, am I nuts for paying an arm and a leg to fill these boxes with Mel's Mix, when I have 25 year in the making black gold at my feet?
I would love to respond here, but why do get the feeling that IÂm being setup?
Here is a link that might be useful: Johns Journal
If it were me, I would get the soil tested, then amend as needed. If you don't have any real weed issues to deal with, i'd just make some grids out of twine, so that the spacings can be properly organized. In my mind, you don't need mel's mix, or even raised beds.
What is it about SFG that is so appealing to you? The structure and confinement of the beds? the orderly area to plant in? The mix? The strings?
Maybe if you can answer those question and figure out what it is that appeals to you, then maybe somehow you can incorporate your "black gold" soil into the picture.
What first comes to my mind is maybe you could "enclose" an area within the great garden spot. Maybe using landscape timbers stacked 2 high? You could dig out the area NOT inside the timbers and put it back into the new enclosed beds. If you still need material to fill them up, then do the rest with Mels mix. Then your plants will have the great soil beneath them to grow into.
One other thing that I did in my garden this year, to try to break free from the typical row style planting, I tried to do more of the SFG spacing and did it in small sections within my garden. I used bricks to form stepping stones to navigate around within the space.
"What is it about SFG that is so appealing to you? The structure and confinement of the beds? the orderly area to plant in? The mix? The strings?"
It all appeals to me. I watched my dad break his back for 25 years digging, double digging, constantly bending. I remember hours upon hours spent in the garden doing nothing but weeding. And all the wasted space!! My dad loved his gardens... and he incorporated us kids into them. We had a great childhood! But I can't help but think that we could have spent more time doing other things as well if he didn't have to be in the garden so much.
In addition, I just love the tidy look of the SFG method. The mix is actually the only thing that has got me trying to improve it for my particular situation (namely make it cheaper!) I also know that the mix/weed relationship is a Catch 22, as the reason for one is so that you don't have the other!
I guess my bigger question is: For those of you with a SFG that DID NOT use Mel's mix, how bad are your weeds? Does the nature of the planting method eliminate most of the weeds, or is it Mel's Mix that didn't have the weed seeds to begin with?
First off, with space I would plant corn and potatoes, then use SFG for the rest. Corn is a space hog in SFG and I am only using my build as you grow potato bins because I don't have acreage. Hehe
As for weeds without Mel's mix. Your first year you will likely have more because there is seed in the soil you use.
The second year and beyond, the living mulch of a SFG tends to keep weeds to a minimum.
So do what works for you and your situation.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sinfonian's garden adventure
I just answered this in your other post, but...
I agree with Sinfonian. Start with beds that are cleared of visible weeds, plant your seeds/plants intensively, and you'll see very few weeds. Remember, weed seeds can blow in on the wind or be dropped by birds, so even beds with Mel's Mix can have weeds. You may never have a completely weed free year, but the few that do show are easy to pull because of the loose soil.
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
I was in pretty much the same position as you are. I've got 3 acres and had a 5,000 sq ft regular row and raised bed garden. My problem was the weeds over took me every year and I've got some perennial weeds that just won't go away no matter how much I weed.
So I choose Mel's way with the enclosed beds. I've laid down 4 layers of cardboard and two layers of weed block material on top of that. Then I have set my beds on that.
My beds are 12 inches deep with the first 6 inches being 100% compost and the top 6 inches being Mel's mix. It hasn't been cheap but I'm hoping that this will be a one time expense. I can say this...Mel's mix is very light and easy to plant in.
I didn't use Mel's Mix. I filled my raised beds with aged horse manure, coffee grounds, leaves, pine needles, whatever I could find last spring. I had very few weeds. I also mulched the garden which I think helps as well.
Here is a link that might be useful: Tales of a Transplanted Gardener
Last year I had the biggest concoction in my beds. I had all different sorts of soils and compost. From Walmart compost to Menards. The soil was all different sorts, depending what was on sale when I was filling the beds. I have 110sq ft, 4 beds total.
I had maybe 5 weeds all summer. And the ones that DID come up were easy to find and pull right away because of the way everything was so organized. Oh and I just had weed blanket under the soil.
