July 11, 2013
CATEGORY: College Newswire
St. Paul, Minn. - From July 25 to August 19, Kelly Lynn Cargos '13 from Orange, Conn., will take part in the prestigious Japan-America Student Conference (JASC), the world's longest running student-led exchange program between the two countries. Cargos will join a group of 70 college students, half from Japan and half from the U.S., traveling around Japan and discussing some of the most pressing issues concerning both countries.
The 65th JASC will convene in Kyoto, Japan on August 2, 2013. From there delegates will travel to Nagasaki, Iwate and Tokyo. Each site will offer a unique window to examine contemporary Japanese issues as well as become immersed in Japanese culture.

Under the theme, "Share, Respect, Reflect: Reimagining the Future, Together" the students will reevaluate the strategic alliance with respect to a globalizing society in line with the 50-year anniversary of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the U.S. and Japan. They will learn about several dynamic issues such as Culture and Technology, Environment and Society, Globalization and Agriculture in the 21st Century, Modern Issues in Education, Regional Security in a Global Era, Social Minorities and Discrimination, and Social Responsibility and Government.
JASC's mission is to promote peace through mutual understanding, friendship and trust between the United States and Japan. The annual 30-day exchange that alternates between the U.S. and Japan is also designed to give students opportunities to grow in leadership, research, diplomacy, and networking. International Student Conferences is a non-profit organization that sponsors America's longest running student-run cultural exchange program, the Japan-America Student Conference (JASC).

Cheesy magician David Copperfield - after heavily promoting his upcoming stunt in which he enters a tornado of fire - collapsed on stage Friday during rehearsals for the event.
Did he wimp out?
Says Copperfield's publicist: "He has gone without sleep for 48 hours. He has been rehearsing nonstop, and this has obviously taken its toll." The publicist says Copperfield collapsed under "extreme exhaustion."
According to The Associated Press, Copperfield, 44, was rushed to Manhattan's St. Luke's/Roosevelt Hospital Center, but is not expected to remain admitted through the weekend.
Copperfield had been rehearsing a stunt in which he enters a 1800-degree Fahrenheit swirl of fire, called the "Tornado of Fire." His publicist said that the CBS broadcast will go on despite the incident. No air date has been set.

Not sure if this was actually a puzzle or half a game of suicide chess.
very nice,,,,,,
Damn. I did it the first time.
too long . very different
I got the eight move wrong but still can't understand why it's not 8. Kf1 !! I must have been too relaxed over Christmas.
that was cool
very useful .
It was a pretty good puzzle. I got some moves on the second try, but most on the first.
Not forsed, but neat.
Why being obsessed with 1st page :s
a matter of intelligence. (missing...)
veeeeery easy!
If Rfxd8 instead of Raxd8, then Kf1 instead of Nxc5.
Was all of the moves for black in this puzzle forced? I'm sure that in at least one of the 11 moves in the problem, black could have played an alternative line to go on with an equal position.
yes, I think that`s something. also 11 moves is not a real puzzle - but better than mate in 2...
great exercise! while these may be the "best moves", are they the only good moves that black or white could have made to win??? At the least these are the moves a GM made, I suppose
Sometimes your puzzles depend on moves by your opponent that they may or may not make,sometimes the opponent makes bad moves that you cannot depend on in a game,so I don't feel to bad if I miss a few.
Good puzzle. This position is actually quite common, so this is very useful :)
arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh, that was way too hard, I only got like 4 moves correct.
Decisive opening moves.

Foosball tables - suggestions?
I'd like to buy a foosball table for our house or maybe the garage. I've looked at several online and some local sports stores too. Prices range from $150 to over $1000. I'm thinking I'd like to spend $250-300.
I don't know what features are important or desirable. One of the options listed is 3-man or 1-man goalie. I don't know which is more popular or more "official." Many of the tables have leg-levellers, which seems to be a good idea. I don't think I want electronic scoreboards but prefer the sliding beads at each end.
We just want to have the table as a bit of entertainment, not wanting to do tournaments or anything like that.
Anyone have suggestions on good brands, features, places to buy, etc? Thanks.
The best brands are Dynamo and Tornado.
They're head and shoulders better than 99 percent of the other Mfg's.
Well constructed and very solid is the only way to describe them.
My Dynamo is 10 years old and plays as well as the day I bought it new.
See ya,
In your price range, Carrom makes a decent knockoff of the Tornado tables.
I bought one maybe five or six years ago at Sears. It's heavy, which you want for stability so it doesn't get muscled across the floor during play.
The action is decent when compared to the higher end tables, and quite good for its price.
The field has remained dead-level over the year.
Look for the 3-man goalie.
I think the one I bought was about $325. It's all black.
The kids are in high school now and the table gets used about 3 times a week when their friends are over.
Definitely go for manual scoring.
It's held up well, definitely a good value for the money.

Cucumber Damage
Yes Jean. I actually have found that there are a few thrips here and there, particularly on the blooms. They don't seem large enough in number to produce these manifestations though. The other orange critters (sorry I couldn't get a better zoom with my iPhone) aren't actually critters. They are eggs! Or at least they appear to be. I scraped a few off and they were very hard, almost like a hardened sap? What really concerns me about them is they are found on that surface split of the stem, which I had never noticed before until of recent.
UPDATE: A few of the lower leaves, even the new branches, are beginning to wilt and the tips are turning grey/dark blue and crumpling up. What could this be?
Any signs of cucumber beetles? A few days ago I noticed similar stem splits along with yellowing and no flowering taking place anymore. My leaf damage also looks similar but not quite as bad.
Since then I've noticed increasing numbers (kill maybe 12-15 per day) of striped cucumber beetles, mainly out at night, and have had to trim two of my three plants back in hopes of saving them from bacterial wilt.
Good luck.

liability insurance
What do you guys do about liability? My general farm liability will not cover if someone sues because they though my produce cause a tummy ache. Abusiness liability quote was $500. Do you people have liability coverage? If so do you know a cheaper company? or do you take your chances?
Thanks bruce
I had a policy with AutoOwners, 2 years ago the minimum was less than $200. It's based on sales $$.
Minnie, I went for years without. When our FM started requiring it and we had to show the policy is when I got a policy. I was always crossing my fingers.
Ok I will share my homework. Agent from either Farm Bureau or farmers union ins. said it would be covered under my general farm liability policy. I don't think he knew what he was talking about, but you might check those 2. farmers mutual who I have my farm policy with $500. That farm policy may be moving.
Shelter ins- agent talked to the underwriter and I would be a fruit, nut and veg distributor. coverage $500,000/$1,000,ooo premium $100. Very doable and almost a no brainer. Sure don't need to lose my farm for a few tomatoes.
Our State Farm person states that 'they' can't cover at farmers' market and even if they could cover it as a business it started at $300 over 3 years ago.
Coverage for just a farm stand on farm property is covered differently than going to a Farmers Market. Be sure to check for your situation.
Bruce - Was Shelter's just a product liability or also general liability? I'm thinking of switching, but if we go back to old homeowners policy they won't cover farm liability (in fact, they may tell us no liability coverage at all b/c of the farm, we might be lucky to get fire/theft on house with them again).
Oh, I already switched insurance 2 years ago. Actually ended up costing less, even with farm liability. But it went up last year, and might be going up again next month so I thought I'd shop around. I esp. don't like paying $50 per market for certificates. Not a problem right now, but if I ever get big enough to do mulitple markets it could add up.

Fuzzy caterpillar - Friend or Foe ?
This morning I discovered some type of caterpillar eating the foliage on a tiger lily.
It's pale yellow with a slight greenish tinge, about 1-1/2 inches long, it's fuzz is about 1/4 inch, and it has a yellow head. I can see him eating the leaves.
Does anyone know what it is? Should I keep it because it's a good guy, or give it to some kids to put in a jar ?
Sorry, I can't help you. When we first started dating, I picked up a Fuzzy Wuzzy, a brown caterpillar with a black band around its middle. DH has an big ick factor regarding caterpillars so I chased him around the yard with it. He's now more used to them but still doesn't like them! Marg
As far as I know most of the wooly caterpillars are tiger moths. They're only as good as what they're eating so if you don't want your lily eaten, pick it off and keep in a jar/throw over fence/squash with foot. Whatever you're comfortable with.
Eeeewww, Gillian......I looked at the website you mentioned. I sure wish they didn't show such swarms of them ! I searched the pictures for my caterpillar, and didn't find it yet. I took a better look at the darn thing, cut the stem of the lily ( one I don't like anyway) and double bagged it and threw it in the garbage. I don't think I have the stomach to look again on that website or any others for a while. I guess I can do without knowing what it was. Thank goodness cashews are high in calories and not something a person really "needs" to eat to survive, as I doubt I'll be eating any of them anytime soon now, LOL! My stomach hurts. My "ick factor" tolerance is pretty low.
Konrad - If you do a thread on caterpillars, please put a subject matter warning in your first post =:) I don't think I'll appreciate your pictures of them like I do all your other pictures =:)
I have a spiders gallery on my Facebook, most of my friends don't appreciate them at all. ;0) In fact some are pretty vocal about "hairspray and a lighter" and such.
I'd join a caterpillar show & tell but I haven't seen any good subjects around lately.

Metallica's Kirk Hammett Returns to Roots Playing on Exodus' 'Salt in the Wound'
Metallica's Kirk Hammett is reconnecting with his former band Exodus, laying down a guitar solo for a song on their next album.
Metallica's Kirk Hammett is reconnecting with his former band Exodus, laying down a guitar solo for a song on their next album.
Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett is set to perform with his old band, Exodus, at the Fear FestEvil show during Comic-Con in San Diego.
The string of dates will invade the U.S. beginning Nov. 12 in Oakland, Calif.
In response to his leave, Dukes has released an official statement describing his current sadness and future plans.
Legendary thrash metal act Exodus have announced a major lineup change. The band is parting ways with vocalist Rob Dukes and welcoming back its classic frontman Steve 'Zetro' Souza.
It's been an interesting year for Testament frontman Chuck Billy. The rocker has enjoyed a break from Testament's typically heavy touring schedule and during that period he's launched a new management company called Breaking Bands.
San Francisco thrash legends Exodus are back in the studio to record their 11th album! The album will act as the follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2010 recording 'Exhibit B: The Human Condition,' although it has not been said if Exodus' next album will become 'Exhibit C' in the band's chronology.
Slayer and Exodus guitarist Gary Holt was the guest on Full Metal Jackie's radio show this past weekend. He spoke with Jackie about the mind-blowing dates he's about to do, performing with Slayer, Exodus and Suicidal Tendencies. And he also gave an update on the progress of the next Exodus record. If you missed the chat, here's Jackie's full interview with Gary Holt.
One of the perks of staging your own event is having the ability to drop in on your favorite bands during the festivities, and that's exactly what Metallica's Kirk Hammett did at the inaugural Fear FestEvil horror and music event in San Francisco.
Insane tour alert! U.S. metal junkies, this is a bill you won't want to miss. Slayer have just announced a May tour with fellow thrash legends Suicidal Tendencies and Exodus.

Is It Legal To Kill A Ghost?
It's pretty universally agreed that Ghosts can be quite the inconvenience (All of those Paranormal Activity movies wouldn't lie to us…)
But since a ghost is apparently the surviving soul of a human, if anyone ever destroyed one, could they then be charged with having committed murder?
This might seem to be an incredibly pedantic question, but a number of real-life court cases have probed the legality of Ghost-a-cide.
Here's What Happened When One City Gave Homeless People Shelter Instead of Throwing Them in Jail
(Disinfo carries some Brave New Films titles, check out Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price and Koch Brothers Exposed).
via Alternet:
… Read the rest
Kilee Lowe was sitting in a park when cops picked her up and booked her into jail overnight.
After she got out the next morning, she returned to the park. The same officer who had thrown her into a cell not 24 hours before booked her again. It was back to jail for Kilee.
Kilee has been cycling in and out of the criminal justice system for years. After three and a half years in federal prison, she's been homeless for a little over a year now.
"Just because I don't have a credit card in my pocket," she says, "does not make me a criminal."
Kilee lives in one of hundreds of American cities that have criminalized homelessness. Sometimes the "crime" is loitering. Sometimes it's panhandling.
Du Pont Heir Given Probation For Raping Daughter in Hush-Hush Case; Judge Said He Wouldn't Fare Well In Prison
Du Pont Family heir (and son of a very powerful retired attorney) Robert H. Richards IV received a slap on the wrist in 2008 after he pleaded guilty to raping his three-year old daughter: Eight years probation. The offense is normally punishable by up to 15 years in prison, but Delaware Superior Court Judge Jan Jurden's rationale for the extremely lenient sentence was that the 6'4″ 264 lb. millionaire "[would] not fare well" in prison.
Richards' arrest and subsequent trial was not disclosed by the District Attorney's office and received no media coverage, locally or nationally. The details of Richards' case only came to the attention of the public this month after his ex-wife filed a civil suit against him on behalf of their two children. The suit alleges that Richards also molested their son numerous times over the course of two years, beginning when the boy was 19 months-old.… Read the rest
Affluenza Teen Again Given Probation For Drunk Driving Slaughter
Disinfonauts may recall with disgust an earlier post "Rich Kid Kills Four Pedestrians While Driving Drunk And Gets Probation Because of 'Affluenza.'" Now that same rich kid, Ethan Couch, has again been given probation by the same Texas judge who sentenced him last time, instead of the 20 years of jail time called for by prosecutors. Report from AP via NY Daily News:
… Read the rest
FORT WORTH, Texas — A judge on Wednesday ordered a Texas teenager who was sentenced to 10 years' probation in a drunken-driving crash that killed four people to go to a rehabilitation facility paid for by his parents.
Judge Jean Boyd again decided to give no jail time for Ethan Couch, defense attorney Reagan Wynn and prosecutors told reporters after the hearing, which was closed to the public. Prosecutors had asked Boyd to sentence him to 20 years in state custody on charges related to two people who were severely injured.
Rich Kid Kills Four Pedestrians While Driving Drunk And Gets Probation Because of 'Affluenza'
If for some inexplicable reason you didn't think that America had two justice systems – one for the rich and one for everyone else – then this should cure you of that delusion:
… Read the rest
For most people, conviction for vehicular manslaughter due to drunk driving warrants a lengthy sentence, but not in the case of Ethan Couch, a wealthy young man from the state of Texas.
The Keller, Tex., 16-year-old has a rare condition that a judge believes is best remedied with anything but dealing with the consequences for causing a DWI wreck that killed four people, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
Couch suffers from "affluenza," according to his lawyers, a term which means that his wealthy parents pretty much let him get away with everything. The defense saved him from a 20-year sentence; State District Judge Jean Boyd bought it at his sentencing on Tuesday and gave Couch probation instead.

I am developing an application in android for device usage profiling and analysis where I have to read features from the android OS. For example i have to read
- outgoing_calls
- outgoings_calls_to_non_contacts (un-saved numbers)
- outgoing_sms
- outgoings_sms_to_non_contacts (un-saved numbers)
- Keyboard_related readings (pressure, key_dwell_time, key_flight_time etc)
- delete_key_use_rate
- average_transition_left_right
- average_transition_right_left
- touch_screen_pressure
What will be the way to accomplish this? i.e what libraries from SDK do I have to use. Any example for reading these values will be very helpful.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
We decided to take our two grandchildren on a short break in March, our caravan was a bit dated but spotlessly clean, central heating was a bonus, always lovely and warm, considering there was few children on site, mr foxy and his friend done a fantastic job entertaining the children, my husband and myself are going back in May for one of there weekend events, and to explore the surrounding area, and our grandchildren are looking forward to going back next year.
Staff on reception not friendly on all occasions long long wait for check in appeared to prioritize they own bookings first
Great time for my husband my self and my grand lids
The park was very well kept with good facilities. It was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.
The park, facilities and accommodation were superb. My only concern was the lack of a non-slip mats in the shower base and and shower room floor. Both me and my wife slipped in there and could have had a nasty accident.
We came with a puppy. The caravan was clean but when asked if we could take a small dog into the sky bar we were told no. It's a shame because your advertising dogs allowed but nowhere mentioned we couldn't take into bar. Unfortunately there was not even anywhere outside we could sit and enjoy a drink and bar snack. I think the complex needs to be more dog friendly.
Great place great time we will be back.
Nice site, well maintained and good facilities.
Fantastic the park made our holiday
Everything was great on our holiday would definitely recommend only down side was the chlorine in pool was really strong and made kids eyes sore
We really enjoyed our weekend away at stanwix, we had a great time and would definitely go again
Fantastic place to stay great facilities and great value for money, we will definitely be returning when its a bit warmer !
Swimming pool changing facilities were difficult
Very nice park with good facilities. We visited October half term with our 3 yr old and our dog. Great swimming pool and good evening entertainment. Unfortunately there were a number of local children allowed to loiter around the facilities all day. We stayed away from the complex during the day time to avoid these...they would just hang around sitting on the floor, making a mess and using undesirable language..staff didn't seem to mind this as they all knew one another. Often had to grab hold of my 3yr old as a number of them would run aroynd chasing one another..Shame as there are some great things to do such as bowling and cinema room...by the way I'm not a grump, I work with children and enjoy being around children. I do feel that children should only be allowed in the complex supervised, their anti social behaviour did put a downer on the holiday..and that of other holiday makers trying to enjoy the facility.
Always made welcome.Spotless and so near from home/love the walks!

New mobile phone app OrSaveIt aims to turn you from an impulse buyer into an impulse saver. Money journalist Neil Faulkner looks at how it works.
Reading a map, writing thank you notes and doing sums in our heads are just some of the skills being made obsolete by technology, according to new research.
Has the relentless advance of technology bamboozled us to the point that we now need classes to learn how to use our mobile phones? It seems so, as a number of further education colleges across the country have started offering tuition in this area.
It's been a big year in the gadget world and mobile phones are certainly no exception. But what does 2013 hold in store for smartphone fans?
Whether you love classics such as It's A Wonderful Life, or Christmas comedies like Elf, you can use your smartphone to enjoy loads of yuletide flicks. Here's how.
Ask anyone what the most popular smartphone is and they'll probably give you the same answer: the iPhone. But is this true?
EE, owner of Orange and T-Mobile, is now offering its customers much faster internet connection with a new, more expensive, 4G service. But is it worth the cost?
Television viewers increasingly watch their favourite programmes with mobile devices in hand, using them to find info related to things they've seen, connect with other viewers, or generally browse or email during the adverts.
Bad credit can stop you getting a mobile phone contact. If you're thinking of upgrading to the new iPhone 5, you may need to improve your credit history. Here's how.

TUNIS, Tunisia — The funeral of an assassinated leftist politician drew hundreds of thousands of mourners chanting anti-government slogans to the Tunisian capital, Tunis, on Friday — as well as gangs of armed young people who smashed cars and clashed with police outside the cemetery.
Hours later, the prime minister insisted he'd try to form a new government despite his party's opposition, threatening to resign if his proposal wasn't accepted.
The events added to the growing turmoil in Tunisia, where the transition from dictatorship to democracy has been shaken by religious divides, political wrangling and economic struggles. It's been a perilous stretch for a country many hoped would be a model for other post-revolutionary Arab states.
People from across the nation flowed into Tunis to lay to rest Chokri Belaid, 48, a lawyer and top figure in the Popular Front alliance who was shot dead Wednesday. Thousands helped carry the coffin of the so-called defender of the poor from his parents' home to the Jellaz Cemetery.

The turnout at the funeral was boosted due to a general strike called by Tunisia's most powerful labor union in honor of Belaid.
Hamma Hammami of the Tunisian Workers Party gave a eulogy as Belaid's friends and relatives wept. "Sleep well Chokri. We will continue the fight," the leftist leader promised as the acrid odor of tear gas from the clashes near the cemetery invaded the air.
Tunisians overthrew long-ruling dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011, kicking off the Arab Spring revolutions. In the two years since, a moderate Islamist party, Ennahda, won elections and has governed in a coalition with two secular parties.
But the ruling coalition's failure to stem the country's economic crisis and stop the often-violent rise of hard-line Salafi Muslims has drawn criticism, especially from staunch secularists such as Belaid.
He had also accused Ennahda of backing some of the political violence through its own goon squads.
Belaid was shot dead while outside his home by an unidentified assailant. Hours after his killing Wednesday, Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali said he would form a new, technocratic government to guide the country to elections — but Ennahda, his own party, rejected that idea soon afterward.
Late Friday, Jebali renewed his proposal for a new government, which would be a key concession to the country's opposition.
"I am convinced this is the best solution for the current situation in Tunisia," Jebali said, offering to resign if the elected assembly did not accept his new proposed Cabinet.
As Belaid was being buried, the black smoke of burning cars mingled with clouds of white tear gas as masked and hooded young people brandishing machetes and clubs threw rocks at riot police nearby.

Dublin-based Shire has grown rapidly in recent years due to its focus on specialty pharmaceuticals for the treatment of rare illnesses and conditions like Fabry disease, Hunter syndrome, and ulcerative colitis.
The company's origin stems from its expertise in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, which accounted for $1.55 billion of Shire's sales of $4.26 billion in 2011. Shire has a quarter of the U.S. market for ADHD treatments, which is growing at 10% a year.
It suffered a blow when one of its most popular treatments, Adderall, was exposed to generic competition in the second quarter and sales fell 32% in the third quarter. But Shire's other ADHD treatments—Vyvanse, its top-selling medicine, and Intuniv—are helping to fill the void. Both are growing at rates of more than 20% annually. As a result, Shire's third-quarter sales rose 4% year-on-year, in spite of Adderall's performance.
There are plenty of supplies in Shire's bathroom cabinet to keep sales growing. Some are aimed at treating conditions for which there are no approved therapies. Shire spent $770 million on research and development last year, or about 20% of sales. It continues to invest in its pipeline of specialty pharmaceuticals, human genetic therapies, and regenerative medicines. The company is also seeking regulatory approval for use of its ADHD drugs to treat other ailments.
The drop in Adderall sales won't inhibit Shire's ability to meet its earnings-growth targets in 2013 and beyond. Sales are forecast to grow at a healthy clip, to $4.68 billion in 2012, $4.95 billion in 2013, and $5.32 billion in 2014. Earnings per share should climb from $6.10 this year to $7.49 in 2014.
Shire's balance sheet is robust. It carries no debt and at the end of the September quarter disclosed cash and equivalents of $1.32 billion, or $7.08 a share. The company may be predisposed toward small acquisitions, but in October it announced a $500 million buyback, taking advantage of the low share price. That might be a precursor to a higher full-year dividend. The stock yields a miserly 0.5%.

Anger Control for Men
Life provides men with an endless supply of things to get angry about. There's the sullen waitress who refuses to look in your direction while you wave desperately for the check. There's the oaf who drifts across the road without ever using his blinker. There's the dropped call, the tepid shower, the gum on the bottom of the shoe.
While it's perfectly natural to get angry about any of these things, anger comes to some men more naturally than others. For the hot-tempered, the pettiest annoyance results in out-of-control anger. And some guys, despite the fact anger is listed among the deadly sins, genuinely like having a hot temper. It can be a source of pride and a badge of masculinity. Even if you're not busting heads every weekend at a roadhouse, you might enjoy indulging your angry side. You might feel that anger helps you succeed and inspires respect.

But there's a downside to the manful, short-fused Type A personality. "In researching people with this disposition, we found that anger and hostility may actually be lethal," says Charles D. Spielberger, PhD, a distinguished research professor of psychology at the University of South Florida who's been studying anger for 25 years. And he means lethal to the person who gets angry, not the one on the receiving end of the anger. The evidence that anger can detract from your health is mounting all the time. And of course, uncontrolled anger in men can leave your marriage and your career — not to mention your crockery — in pieces.
So what is this emotion that we all share but rarely think about? How do we know if our anger is out of control — and what is it doing to us?
Understanding anger
Is anger just an emotion? While we think of it that way, it's really much more. "Anger is both psychological and physiological," Spielberger tells WebMD. When you lose control of your anger during a traffic jam or at your son's soccer game, your nervous system triggers a number of biological reactions:
- Levels of hormones, like cortisol, increase.
- Your breathing gets faster.
- Your pulse gets faster.
- Your blood pressure rises.
- As you heat up, you begin to sweat.
- Your pupils dilate.
- You may notice sudden headaches.

Latest Herbivore Stories
Some symbiotic bacteria living inside Colorado potato beetles can trick plants into reacting to a microbial attack rather than that of a chewing herbivore
A new study is helping answer a long-standing question about how large, plant-eating dinosaurs could have co-existed successfully over long periods of geological time.
Plants that emit an airborne distress signal in response to herbivory may actually attract more enemies, according to a new study published in the open-access journal Frontiers in Plant Science .
The predator-prey relationship can affect the flow of carbon through an ecosystem, according to a new study from the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.
Can existing ecological communities persist intact as temperatures rise? This is a question of increasing relevance in the field of climate change and is the focus of a new study to be published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society of London on 20 February.
Everyone needs to eat. But it's a dog-eat-dog world, and with the exception of the top predators, everyone also gets eaten. To cope with this vicious reality, a tiny insect that eats plants has learned to employ the plant's hairs for physical protection from its beetle predator.
When herbivores such as caterpillars feed, plants may "call for help" by emitting volatiles, which can indirectly help defend the plants.
Unlike flowering plants, bracken ferns do not release any odor signals to attract the enemies of their attackers for their own benefit.
Your mother probably told you that it's considered good manners to share your food, but according to new research; for large predators living 9 million years ago, sharing a food supply was a daily way of life.
To solve the acute, global problem of securing food resources for a continuously growing population, we must work constantly to increase the sustainability and effectiveness of modern agricultural techniques.

Natural Rocks compared to Landscaping Brick
Hi, how is everyone. My question is concerning what people are feeling these days on natural rock (Wisconsin boulders 7 inches in size or so) compared to landscaping brick that is purchased at Home Depot. My house is a Chicago Georgian with a front porch off the front which is now painted (three different colors, a Dark Greeen support beams, the railings and floors in a dark blue, and the small bars in between the railings in a grey-white ) Sorry, I don't have an updated photo showing colors on hand. Anyways, we currently have landscaping done on the left hand side where we used landscaping brick, (redish blackish) 2 layers and then a topper stone. I have yet to do the other side, but I have since kinda fallen in love with natural rock (Out here you can buy them from landscaping suppliers called Wisconsin Boulders .15 cents a pound, or $115 a ton). My wife wants to do it all in the landscaping brick which everyone and their mother has while I would like to pull out what I did last fall and start fresh with all natural stone. Is there a trend that anyone has seen on landscaping styles and where we are headed. Also, what are everyone's views on the two? Thanks
Your question is confusing. You say you used "landscaping brick" but it doesn't show and you don't say HOW you used it. It's anyone's guess. Need the updated picture.
On another subject, the lattice would look much better if it were framed by the major timbers instead of being pasted over the top of them.
I like rocks better. They are more challenging to install of course, but are a better fit for classic older homes like yours than the newfangled stackable blocks everyone else has.
I don't know which stone in particular you're looking at, but a well-matched stone would be lovely. And in my opinion, even a badly matched stone will be better than the HD blocks. :)
I adore working with natural stone and I think it looks good in many applications. But I hesitate here because you are using round rocks to create a stacked wall. Why not use flatter rocks? It will look neater, be much easier to achieve and will likely be more stable and last longer.
You might see if you can get some grey sandstone like the trim around your front door.
On an unrelated note, I agree that the lattice would look nicer with a trim board on top of it along that upper edge. The house is super cute though and you've done a great job with the porch and the colors.
If you could match the stuff around the front door, it'd be great! Flatter rocks would be better, but I still like the roundy ones.
Maybe it's because you need to mow (just kidding!), but your beds are really low and it's not a huge design statement either way. If you do end up with the stackin' blocks from HD, you might consider swapping the out for a concrete color to sort of go with the stone o the house. The red ones are a bit too RED.
I think the butterfly bush is totally perfect as it is--but good luck holding it at the perfect size! :)
"Is there a trend that anyone has seen on landscaping styles...?"
Greenwood, of the two choices you present: concrete landscape blocks vs. micro "boulders"...I wonder if either is the correct choice. Even though you are out in the yard, you are really "building" on to the house... which already has a type of stone in its construction. Introducing an element foreign in character to what's already there seems to add clutter instead of interest. However, of the two choices I find the manufactured blocks (though I'm not nuts about the color) less objectionable. The micro boulders seem very out of character for the house.
Then, why be concerned about "trends" when current fads don't necessarily mean improved appearance? It looks like you are trying to hide where the ground meets the lattice, but not trying to actually raise the grade. So why install a curb or "retaining wall" that is empty of soil on the back side? Instead, you could let the plants alone provide the height that screens the lower portion of the lattice. A trench edge to the bed or a flush embedded mowing strip (at least 8" wide) would be more appropriate and less cluttered looking. I'm not trying to make planting suggestions in my picture... just trying to make things look settled and show lattice/ mowing strip alternative.
I agree that the natural rock you are wanting to use is too small and does not contrast adequately with the lattice to be a good choice, nor does it complement anything else on the house. Do a google image search for 'dry stack stone walls' to see what size of rock (and what shape) might be a better choice. An image search for Boulder Wall will show the same idea in round rocks. What you have there is more like rock, river rock maybe, but not boulders.
The manufactured brick is the right size and shape, shame about the colour though it's bearable. Matched to the stone around your door, it would be better but is already not bad (I don't hate that brick as much as many people do - it has many benefits).
The sort of thing that might normally be done with the rock you like (and I know the feeling of "I love this material and I want to use it somewhere!") might be a dry river bed, perhaps combined with bigger rocks, or an embedded mosaic on something... it's just not big enough to BE the structure of something. And it's a bit too big, I think, for use where you might use gravel.
Again, an image search can be your friend... try "river rock used in landscaping."
Karin L
YardVaark, you did a great job with your rendering there. I also agree with everyone who has commented on putting the trim over the lattice, that does look much nicer. What exactly would you use to cover that, any piece of long wood, and what would be the build on the corners of the lattice. I also liked that. I went to Menards (only a Midwest place possibly? like a HD) and picked up a couple of landscaping bricks that matched the trim of the door more and I agree they do look nicer. I have not glued any of the red ones down so I could possibly just swap them out. Good Recommendations people, and much appreciated. If you have any more feel free to throw them out. As I make some headway I will update. (Just in case anyone is curious I will show a picture of what the house looked like a year ago)
Greenwood, I wouldn't add a trim board over the top of the lattice. I'd use the major timbers that already exist to be the overall frame for the lattice. Without knowing exactly what you have to work with it's a little hard to tell you how to do it, but I'd lean toward creating a rectangular panel (framed of 2" x 2") with the lattice attached to it. I'd set these panels, recessed, within the openings created by the major timbers. You might need to play with the details a little in order to find the optimum scheme. The panels could be attached in such a way that they were removable without much trouble if you needed access below the porch in the future. If you want more help, you'd probably need to remove some lattice and show better pictures of the major timbers.
Your house looks MUCH better since you've added the porch!
I meant to mention this before...
I like your teal paint for the porch. I don't think the existing shutter color/paint scheme goes with the new teal paint. If you repainted the shutters in a color that was compatible, I think it would go a long way toward making the front of the house a much stronger and more pleasing architectural statement. You're on the way with the porch and a new shutter color would complete it.
Woah! I didn't realize the entire porch was new! That turned out really well!
What about just toning down the bright white of the lattice? If you're going to grow stuff in front of it and some of it will be there all winter, it might not matter all that much if it's framed out perfectly or not.
I'd like to see the door and trim less bright too--the blueishgreenish color is pretty great with your brick, as is the original brownish maroony stuff on the windows.
It's not that I don't like white! But your home is too ummmm mellow? earthy? for it. The door seems a little stark.
Actually the lattice is "Cape Cod Gray". The bushes that I have already planted are all evergreens, except for the butterfly bush I believe. Being in Chicago, I wanted to have it where I had some leaves in winter, but I do not care for the other type of evergreen(Christmasy needled?). Also, in case anyone was hating on the underside of the porch roof, I intend on having it closed off after I run some electricity through it and maybe a fan and some can lights.
The lattice is the same color as the back of the steps and the spindles on the railings. the actual steps and porch floor are a real dark blue. When I get a chance I will post up the names of the colors. I was extremely worried about my color selection as the people who mix the paint at the store said that they had never done any of my three selections (and they weren't new). Kind of a scary thing, but overall I am pleased with how it came out.

New SV1T Eee Videophone with Touchscreen (gallery)
ASUS's 7" display is now touch-sensitive. The source code for the Linux device's Qt interface is downloadable.
The ASUS Eee SV1 videophone made its first appearance in January 2009, but without a touchscreen. The newer release adds a "T" onto the end of the model name. Other specifications from ASUS remain the same. The Internet phone, which unlike the recently available Glass desktop VoIP phone with touchscreen comes without a handset, is available at certain outlets for about $280.
Nokia welcomes the Eee videophone because ASUS from Taiwan depends on Qt for its user interface. An ASUS spokesperson clarified to Linux Magazine Online that the first generation Eee videophones use Qt 4.4, while the second should use Qt 4.5. The graphical interface is under LGPL and the source code is available for download.
|Gallery (5 images)
GUI toolkit (plain old Qt 4.5.0) can be downloaded, not the GUI itselfThe Open Source archive for the new model includes the (LGPL'd) Qt 4.5 libraries with some small mods, but no "GUI". Since Qt is being used under LGPL, they don't have to release code that calls it.
The older non-touchscreen model was apparently under 4.4 (from the article), which was not available under LGPL, just GPL and commercial license. Since they didn't include the GUI or Qt in the open source package for the older model, one must infer they used Qt 4.4 under the commercial license.
