Curly top virus?
I planted some beets from the supermarket in a pot in the hopes of growing some fresh beet greens. The beets took off and were growing rather well, but I noticed that the leaves on one of them tended to curl in on themselves. I thought that it might be a sign of stress, since I had started that particular one in water before moving it to soil, and didn't pay it much mind. It continued to grow quickly (more quickly in fact than the others) but the leaves got more and more curled and gray, to the point where today I decided that I didn't want to eat it anyway and threw it out.
The closest thing I can find to these symptoms is curly top virus, but if that was the cause the beet probably had it when I bought it because I don't think I have leaf-hoppers (there are some white/brown bugs but they don't fly and are usually confined to the soil, I was hoping they were springtails).
If this was curly top virus:
-Should I be worried about it having spread to the other plants in the pot? There are three other beets and some garlic.
-If so, would it effect the garlic? Would it still be safe to eat?
If not... also those things.
It may be good idea to post this question on vegetable or market gardening forums - possibly more knowledge about veggie deseases over there.
Lots of them spread to other plants, good you got rid of the infected one.
It's impossible to know what condition the produce was growing in, and some viruses stay infectious for very long time.

34 cars entered, but obstacles remain
Indianapolis' traditional 33-car starting grid seems safe, for now.
There could even be some bumping on qualifying weekend.
TOP GUNSWhich IndyCar stars won races in 2012?
On Thursday, last year's 500 runner-up, JR Hildebrand, drove up in a Hummer to personally deliver the 34-car entry list - one more than necessary -- to speedway CEO Jeff Belskus just inside the track's main gate.
''I am completely convinced of it (having a 33-car field), unless something unusual happens,'' Belskus said after Thursday's photo op.
Some in the IndyCar community are concerned that this year's switch to new cars and new engines could jeopardize the traditional three-car, 11-row grid for the May 27 race. It's the biggest starting field on this season's 16-race schedule.
Still, there's no guarantee 33 cars will start the race.
Only 30 drivers have been announced, including USAC star Bryan Clauson who will drive the No. 39 car for Sarah Fisher's team. The official announcement came less than an hour after track officials released the entry list.
Ed Carpenter Racing, Rahal Letterman Lanigan, Sam Schmidt Motorsports and Newman/Haas Racing each have one car with no assigned driver.
One potential obstacle could be money.
Low-budget teams that have relied on less-costly used parts in recent years may not have that option this year, and the open cars are still trying to find enough sponsorship to make it worth putting someone in the cockpit.
An even bigger problem, though, might be finding enough crew members for the race.
''I think we are dealing with some limited resources,'' Belskus said. ''But it's not so much the lack of engines as it is the people who work it all out.''
Crashes could create chaos, too.
Last May, Chinese driver Ho-Pin Tung crashed on the last of his four qualifying laps and never got another chance to make the race. It happens, especially with teams that cannot afford backup cars or if drivers are not medically cleared in time to get back into the cockpit.
But Belskus downplayed the speculation, insisting there would be plenty of action on Bump Day, the second and final qualifying round May 20, when non-qualified cars attempt to knock other qualified cars out of the field and that the field could even grow beyond 34 cars before qualifications end.
''We expect a full field, we'll see some bumping,'' Belskus said. ''The tradition continues.''

US cybersecurity report points accusing finger at China
An annual report to Congress says China is the biggest threat to US cybersecurity, spelling out in some detail who might be doing the cyberspying.
Kyodo News/AP/File (bottom); Yuriko Nakao/REUTERS/File (top)
The sheer volume of Chinese cyberespionage directed against the United States, together with its increasing sophistication, "make China the most threatening actor in cyberspace," concludes a new government report released Wednesday.
While it is still unknown who in China, specifically, is doing the hacking, technical gains are helping trackers trace cyberespionage "campaigns" back to the country. Among the culprits, according to the annual report to Congress of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission:
- The People's Liberation Army.
- Informal "cyber warfare militia" composed of workers with high-tech day jobs that focus on military communications, electronic warfare, and computer network operations.
- Three intelligence and security service ministries.
- Patriotic hackers conducting espionage out of nationalist fervor.
- Criminal hackers conducting industrial espionage for private, state-owned, or government clients.
- Big IT companies and telecommunications firms.
"China's cyber capabilities provide Beijing with an increasingly potent tool to achieve national objectives," the congressional report states. "In a strategic framework that leans heavily on cyber espionage, a diverse set of Chinese hackers use pilfered information to advance political, economic, and security objectives."

I have millions of documents in my mongodb database and to implement searching I am using Apache Solr. I googled how to import data from mongodb to solr, but found that there is no straight forward approach using Data Import Handler. So I decided to insert the document into Solr at the same time when I am inserting it into mongoDB using the solr client for Java, SolrJ. My documents are in following format in mongoDB:
"_id" : ObjectId("51cc52c9e4b04f75b27542ba"),
"article" : {
"summary" : "As more people eschew landlines, companies are offering technologies like\npersonal cell sites and signal boosters to augment cellphones, Eric A. Taub\nwrites in The New York Times.\n\n",

I want to do indexing on two fields: 'summary' and 'title' of 'article' array.
So far, what I have learned is putting this entire document into solr does not make sense as it will increase the size of index and make searches slower. So, I decided to store following fields in Solr: 'docId', 'title', 'summary', so while searching in solr I will retrieve only docId and then retrieve other details from mongodb bec it faster than retrieving data from solr bec of analysers, tokenisers and all.
FIRST: So, I need to maintain a unique field 'docId', shall I use use the default '_id' generated by mongod? But for that the doc has to be inserted first, so that mongod can generate the '_id'. So I need to retrieve the doc after inserting into mongodb, fetch the '_id' then insert in solr the fields 'docId', 'summary' and 'title'. Can this be imroved?
SECOND: I need to define the schema in solr for this where I have to map fields from mongodb to fields in solr. I have the default instance of solr running, from solr/example/start.jar. It has a default schema and a default collection called 'collection1'. How can I create my own collection, I cannot find anything in the admin interface for this. I want to create a collection for my project and then write a schema as I have defined above.
Whatever tutorials I have found, they simply add the documents to solr. So do I need to override the default schema?
Note: I am new to Solr, you would have already inferred after reading the question :D So please help!

Hosta Vulcan
I recently purchased a one-gallon specimen of "Vulcan", whose pure white centers were spectacular. It has done well in its first months, with 5-6 new leaves appearing from the center. However, the new leaves are NOT white in the center; they are a Chartreusse green, with the darker green outer edges.
Is this a normal growth pattern for Vulcan?
Will the new leaves turn pure white? If so, how long does this take?
Or has my plant reverted to a predecessor?
No, this is normal growth for your plant and you should be highly grateful for it! This "greening" is allowing the plant to produce and store food for the Winter. Its what makes it such a strong grower for a "white centered" hosta that are notoriously poor growers otherwise. I think you will happy with this hosta, especially in the Spring when it will have increased in size for you. Have a great day. Gary
The new leaves (whether in Spring with the flush, or as with yours on the second flush of growth) on many hostas unfurl green, then take on their distinctive colors over time. For some it is just a week or so, and for others it takes a month. I just looked at my Vulcan and all the new growth is just as you described. Yes, they will turn white for you this year.
Edit: The green to white is called ALBESCENCE.
Enjoy your new Vulcan. It was that crisp white and dark green that made me get that one too. It is beaut!
This post was edited by Babka on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 13:13
Thank all of you who responded to my query. I fell in love with the large white center of the leaves of this Hosta and wanted to be sure the new growth was normal (which I did suspect). I'm not new to Hosta culture, although until I became Chair of our Condo Landscaping Committee I did not have the opportunity to explore varieties beyond the common ones planted by past and present residents. But as I've learned quickly, there are so many MORE wonderful sizes, colors, shapes, growth structure (I've recently also purchased "Praying Hands" - a novel growth habit).

Another silent reader here :) I want to see if Chaol can clarify some things for me.
Let's say that I want to use The Genius to get a new house. So, I visualize myself standing in my new house and I start to perceive the other objects around me.
To my left is a table. On the table is a letter from a company called Service Pros. It's a thank you letter, thanking me for my recent business. They came out to my house to fix my heating unit just in time for the winter. I even remember the first time the faulty unit was brought to my attention by the person selling the house. I got a better deal on the house because of it.
Attached to the letter is a receipt for the $143.92 that I already paid them for fixing it.
I see this as logical narrative. So now I would create a symbol, give it logic, find space for it and then interact with it. My question is, would I define the new symbol AS the letter? When I interact with the symbol, when I follow a rule I've created for it, and when I place it on my computer desk (space), does my subconscious know that I'm actually interacting with the the letter on the table? Does it know that I'm following the logic of the letter and perceiving the table it sits on as it's space? Does it then work to bridge the two perspectives?
Or am I ruining the symbol by defining it as the letter? Am I forcing the symbol to exist as a small pre-defined possibility therefore limiting other ways from which the house would come about?
Sorry for the wall of questions, but you're input is appreciated!
Anonymous Coward 5243746
Can Service Pros fix something where you live currently? If not, it would work much better. If they can then you may just end up with a broken something where you are currently, because that would be the path that your Genius sees as most efficient to your destination.
You'll want to shoot for something that is only likely to exist as part of the experience of your new house.
However, your new symbol would not be the letter itself. That is too obvious and would require lots of energy to experience it multiple kinds of physicality*. Your goal can, in stead, be to receive such letters or communication.
You would then create a Genius path to it.
You can just create a
, unique symbol with that in mind. There is no need to create an obvious symbol or one that you think would work. Just do it randomly and your sub-conscious will take care of the rest.
You and your current perspective (your house, your family, your life, etc.) can then interact with the new symbol. It could be as simple a thing as a question, "What is that?" asked by someone. Or even a rat chewing on it. This enables your current perspective
to be drawn to
your 'future', desired perspective.
(Really you're just bringing your future perspective out of the current one. It's kind of like a sculptor chipping away at stone. Except that you're doing it mentally, at every moment, and on-the-fly with everything that you see, know, touch, feel, dream, etc.)
Your Genius knows everything. It knows it even before you do. (There is no separation between you and your sub-conscious. I just use these terms and phrases for ease of illustration.)
Imagine that when you see something 'new' or unique in your perspective for the first time your sub-conscious is open to suggestions as to what it is. So you make a suggestion (by intention) that, for example, "this ball of clay with the ice cream flag on it is my new car!"
Your sub-conscious says, "Yeah, ok. That will work." because it has nothing invested in the symbol. (Which is why we need to use symbols that have as little pre-existing value as possible.)
Then when you interact with your ball of clay you are actually interacting with your new car. To your sub-conscious there is not much difference between the car (in your future) and your ball of clay.
But wait.. your sub-conscious realizes that it will be difficult to pick up your cousin with a ball of clay. Further, it will need to be fixed at the mechanic and may need an oil change.
It will take too much energy
for your sub-conscious to perceive picking up your cousin in a ball of clay. It will also take too much energy to change the oil in your ball of clay. (It can be done, of course, as every possibility exists. But the question is,
"How much energy does it take to bring it to your perspective?"
So then it changes your perspective of your ball of clay into the new car that it also is in order to conserve as much energy as possible.
With the Genius we're just using (what I call) Ecsys Prime, which is that "We perceive that which takes the least amount of energy to perceive".
In a way it's tricking your perspective. It doesn't really care about cars or balls of clay. It's pretty much all the same to it. It is only about relationships and the fact that it will waste a lot of energy (meaning, it is not relative) to change the oil of a ball of clay. And since the ball of clay has been interacting with the new Toyota dealership service center it will take more energy to perceive going someplace new, so it may as well be a Toyota. etc, etc.
So there's no need to force anything. When we think we're smarter than our Genius then it's unlikely to work :)
*once you 'wish' it it is all ready fulfilled by your sub-conscious in what would be called metaphysical reality. This usually completely satisfies the need for the 'real' experience that you wanted. Putting it further into your current physical experience is something that your Genius would see as a waste of energy unless there is an other reason for it (an other logical narrative that would dictate that your Genius present the experience to you).

On Saturday, March 21, 2015, deputies responded to the home of William Mitchell Golden, 46, of 1892 Flowerview Blvd, Laurel Hill, for an active warrant for failure to pay child support. Deputies located Golden and a second individual identified as Gregory Parmer, 51, of 6370 CO Hwy 147 Laurel Hill, in a shed located on the property. Golden was wearing a mask over his nose and mouth, along with safety googles. Deputies immediately smelled a strong chemical odor in the shed, and saw paraphernalia associated with the use of methamphetamine in plain view. Investigators with the Walton County Sheriff's Office Vice/Narcotics Unit arrived and performed a consensual search of the property. Several used "one-Pot" cooking vessels were found, along with a small amount of finished methamphetamine, Adderall, less than 20 grams of marijuana and a trafficking amount of methamphetamine oil.
Golden was arrested and charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance without prescription, possession of drug paraphernalia, and trafficking in methamphetamine. Parmer was charged with possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Both were transported and booked at the Walton County Sheriff's Office Jail.

Just the way he is: Badgers' Brown shows off singing skills
MAY 15, 2014 11:24a ET
University of Wisconsin freshman Vitto Brown has become just as well known around campus for his singing talents as his basketball skills.
This week, Brown didn't let a little thing like finals week stand in the way of a chance to flex his golden pipes once more. The 6-foot-8, 237-pound forward performed a rendition of Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" with the group Fundamentally Sound that posted to YouTube.
The description of the video notes the other three singers are members of an award-winning men's acappella group that pushes "the boundaries of collegiate a cappella with thought-provoking musical arrangements and high-energy performances." The leader of the group is Karan Aditya, who invites guests to join him in singing cover songs. Karan's Covers is part of the group's webseries known as #FSunplugged. The other members are Brett Kissell and Drew Hartberg, who provide keyboard and bongo accompaniment.
Brown, of course, is no stranger to the big stage. He was a first-team all-state pick for basketball as a senior at Bowling Green High in Ohio and played in 14 games for the Badgers this season, including three in their NCAA tournament Final Four run.
He also has performed numerous times as a member of his family's singing group known as "Shades of Brown."
Last season, Brown's family performed the national anthem at the Kohl Center before the Badgers played Indiana on Feb. 25. Brown also sang the anthem solo before Wisconsin's Red-White game on Oct. 26.

Tuesday, 22 Feb 2011 06:44 AM
MANAMA - More than 10,000 government loyalists demonstrated in the Bahraini capital late on Monday in a show of support for the island's Sunni Muslim leaders, grappling with unprecedented protests by majority Shi'ites.
Queues of cars 5 km (3 miles) long snaked towards Manama's Fateh mosque, crammed with supporters waving red and white national flags and chanting slogans backing Sunni ruler King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa.
Across town at Pearl Square, focal point of protests this month by Bahrain's Shi'ites, some 10,000 were gathered demanding sweeping reforms in a country they say has discriminated against their majority community for decades.
Sunni loyalists say Bahrain's differences should be resolved in parliament, where the opposition Shi'ite Wefaq bloc held 18 of 40 seats until it quit parliament after riot police stormed the Pearl Square protesters last Thursday, killing four people.
A total of seven people have been killed and hundreds wounded in Bahrain's worst unrest since the 1990s, inspired in part by unprecedented revolts that toppled the presidents of Egypt and Tunisia and rattled leaders across the Arab world.
Sami al-Buhairi, a pro-government Sunni politician from the Asalah bloc, told Reuters that Shi'ites should sit down with Sunnis for talks to end the turmoil.
"This is the best democracy in the Arab world," said Buhairi after attending an earlier pro-government rally. "There's parliament, there's a constitution, there are rules."
At another loyalist demonstration some people said Shi'ite complaints they are treated as second-class citizens were unjustified.
"There are no problems in Bahrain. Do you see any problems?" asked Abu Ali, pointing to the procession of about 1,000 supporters of the royal family.
Teenagers revved up the engines of their jeeps and pickup trucks and music blared out. Others showed their gratitude to the royal family in a more measured way, carrying posters of the king and waving flags.
"I have seen Bahrain grow under the wise leadership of the king from the 1970s when there was little infrastructure and people were riding donkeys for transportation," said Nasser Shezad, a 47-year-old steel company employee.
Shi'ites say that development hasn't trickled down to their poor villages, worlds away from Manama's corporate towers.
In 1999 King Hamad enacted a constitution allowing elections for a parliament with some powers, but royals still dominate a cabinet led by the king's uncle who has been premier for 40 years. Shi'ites feel cut out of decision-making and excluded from jobs in the army and security forces.
MP Isa al-Kooheji shook hands with supporters and kissed children at the procession as he reflected on the issue.
"They have been complaining about these things for decades," said Kooheji. "Come on, it's 2011. They can sit and talk with us," he said. (Editing by Tim Pearce)

Do you soak beans before planting?
If not what do you do to get beans & peas off to a good start?
Soil temperature is important. So generally I grow peas where the soil heats up early. My take on soaking or not to soak before is that with sandy soils it's probably more important than clay soils. I soak my peas but not my beans. I have sandy loam soil. My beans generally go into cool soils, for beans, and I don't want them rotting. I might try to experiment a bit this year with soaked beans.
I do not soak beans. I've tried it in the past, and was not happy with the results. It did more harm than good; the same beans, direct planted in warm soil, had better germination. I suspect that soaking allows pathogens which might be present on any seed to infect the whole lot. Handling wet seed is yet another possible avenue for contamination.
In cases where I am trying to get a jump on the season, or where I suspect low viability, I use transplants. This overcomes the issue of poor (and/or slow) cool soil germination. Transplants will tolerate cooler soils than seeds planted under the same conditions.
Beans sprout slowly and poorly at 60F soil temputature. They do ok at 65F but I may not get that here until it is too late to plant my longer season beans. To be able to plant on my usual June 1 date, all but runner beans need to be started indoors. I do grow a lot of transplants but there is not enough room for all that I would need.
It is also possible to pre-sprout beans and I do that with all the beans to be planted on June 1 except for those grown as transplants.
After much experimentation, it appears that soaking overnight for 8 hours will result in a lot of damaged seeds. Most beans are happy with a four soak in a jar with cheese cloth over the opening followed by rinsing and draining several times a day. Many will be sprouting after 36 hours. Those that are not are given a second 4 hour soak and roots will start to appear even during that soak. This works very well for most beans. The white seed Clem and Sarah's Big Bean will not tolerate a 4 hour soak and is best started in soil free seed starting or potting mix. The white seed Brita's Footlong does fine with a four hour soak followed by a 3 hour soak the next day.
Other than growing transplants, the most reliable way I have found is to start beans in a similar way to that except that many beans are grown in a single pot or tray. A pot or tray of a soil free mix of peatmoss, vermiculite and perlite can be used to pre-sprout many beans and they will continue to grow in outdoors temperatures in which they would not germinate.
One method of sterilizing or at least greatly reducing pathogens on bean seeds is to soak them in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes. I plan to try that with some seed this year. - Dick
I soaked my Maxibel filet beans overnight- bad idea! Some split immediately but most rotted in the potting mix (Pro Mix BX). Of 23, I had only 5 germinate. Lesson learned. I like this hydrogen peroxide idea or use bean inoculant with no soaking. That's my next plan of action.
I'm new to this forum and will be growing beans for the first time. In fact, I'm growing veggies, except for the tomatoes, for the first time ever this year. I had no problems with any of the seeds I've planted germinating so far....knock on wood, of course!
Someone mentioned soaking Okra seeds. I had 2-year old seeds of 'Little Lucy' that I planted directly into seed starting mix (good soil mix, Fox Farms), that I had 100% germination on between 5-9 days. I really was surprised because the viability of Okra seeds after the first year, is very low I've heard and read. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
Based upon the advice here, I am glad to know I don't need to soak or pre-germinate bean seeds and will proceed as I have been, by starting in seed or potting mix. Some I may direct sow into the containers they will grow in.
Thank you all so much!
Soaking overnight is too long for many beans.
Simply placing several in a pot or tray of moist sterile seed starting mix is the most reliable. They need to be watered more than expected as they will soak up a lot of water.
If I lived in NC and my summer started in April, I might not be so interested in pre-sprouting! Or if summers are really hot, maybe I would want an early start there too.
I soak my peas overnight and then sprout them on a paper plate inside a zip-lock before planting. It really helps germination and I can also easily spot bad seeds after soaking.
Beans are a different story. I only soak my beans 2 to 4 hrs before planting to avoid the seeds splitting. Also, the darker colored beans can be put out earlier in colder and wetter soil. They have skins that reduce the amount of water that it uptakes. Lighter tan, white and green seeds will split super easily if exposed to too much water and colder soils.

Girl Games Are Tougher Than You Think
By TGB 11 Comments
Super Princess Peach is a game that is marketed and made for 8-14 year old girls, duh. Nintendo is very comfortable with this market as games like Pokemon and many of their lesser more shovelwarey titles for the handhelds have appeal to female gamers, especially from that subgroup. The game seems appropriately casual gazing at its surface. There are no game overs, there is no lives system, falling down pits takes away only a small bit of health and the health system and special meter are kind and easily filled. So based upon my years of video game experience this game was going to be cake, a baby easy game of Kirby proportions. But that's not the game that I played. The game is casual in how it mitigates against the player failing, but the level structure belies a harder core experience.
Whilst I was idiotically anticipating in my subconscious that the levels would be like Super Mario Bros. 3, meaning short tight chocolaty covered level nuggets full of secrets and things to do but can be rushed through in less then a minute, the levels in Super Princess Peach are more like levels in Super Mario Bros. 2. The levels are huge and have a lot of different and varying challenges. But whilst SMB2 was a game that was relatively linear, Super Princess Peach is dependent more upon set pieces, smaller chucks of levels interconnected with warp pipes and that grow in their labyrinthine structure as you progress through the game. The game isn't difficult, but it requires a fair amount of thought and observation to complete a level. The biggest shock of the game for me was that to unlock the final boss fight I had to go back through the earlier levels and find every single captured Toad. I repeat, to finish the game a player has to comb through every level to find the hidden boxes that hold Toad's that have been captured by the nebulous evil that has befallen the Mushroom Kingdom. Super Princess Peach may not be a "hard" game, but it's one that you have to have skill and determination to finish. This isn't your Mom's Mary Kate and Ashly Olson adventure platformer to be sure.
The other game that I have played recently is the game My World, My Way. This is a game that has a lot of appeal to female gamers, but is a game that is meant for Dungeon Crawler hardcore fans and is purposefully tedious and difficult. Huh? I think that My World, My Way is one of those rare games that successfully transformed creepy Japanese Moe Otaku culture into something that would be palatable for younger female gamers. It's a game with a very "girly" color scheme rife with pinks and stars, a female lead who is a wealthy Princess spurned by her "destined" love and has decided to have an "adventure," a cute blobby pet character, a pout mechanic, a title in both Japanese and English that would play to all the girls around the world who wish they were spoiled princesses and a story arc that shows that girls can become powerful and rock out hardcore. And all of this is wrapped up in a genre which is almost impenetrable for the typical gamer and has a character whose express purpose is to make your experience harsher and more tedious. I've been a bit pessimistic about younger female gamers getting into gamers like My World, My Way in the past, but what the hell do I know. Even whilst attempting to remove prejudice from my mind while playing Super Princess Peach, I found myself surprised at its depth and the amount of effort I had to put into the game. Super Princess Peach could be that secret gateway drug that is leading girls into the sin, into harder and harder core drugs... I mean games. Perhaps it's the Harry Potter vibrating broom of games, boldly leading the young women of today into hardcore gaming adulthood but, you know, just less dirty
Maybe girl games are all tougher then many of us originally thought, may be my ten year old neighbor is playing My World, My Way right now and is much better at its grindy mechanics! I'm lost inside of my own male dominated video game thought bubble and have almost no pulse on the scene at all, but the games I have recently played have showed me that perhaps I'm not giving "girl games" the props they deserve. That's is why it's always important to never judge a book by its cover, or a girl by the games she plays, because maybe just maybe those games are more hardcore then you suspected.

Product description
For centuries, we've toyed with our creature companions, breeding dogs that herd and hunt, housecats that look like tigers, and teacup pigs that fit snugly in our handbags. But what happens when we take animal alteration a step further, engineering a cat that glows green under ultraviolet light or cloning the beloved family Labrador? Science has given us a whole new toolbox for tinkering with life. How are we using it? In "Frankenstein's Cat," journalist Emily Anthes takes us from petri dish to pet store as she explores how biotechnology is shaping the future of our furry and feathered friends. As she ventures from bucolic barnyards to a "frozen zoo" where scientists are storing DNA from the planet's most exotic creatures, she discovers how we can use cloning to protect endangered species, craft prosthetics to save injured animals, and employ genetic engineering to supply farms with disease-resistant livestock. Along the way, we meet some of the animals that are ushering in this astonishing age of enhancement, including sensor-wearing seals, cyborg beetles, a bionic bulldog, and the world's first cloned cat. Through her encounters with scientists, conservationists, ethicists, and entrepreneurs, Anthes reveals that while some of our interventions may be trivial (behold: the GloFish), others could improve the lives of many species--including our own. So what does biotechnology "really" mean for the world's wild things? And what do our brave new beasts tell us about ourselves? With keen insight and her trademark spunk, Anthes highlights both the peril and the promise of our scientific superpowers, taking us on an adventure into a world where our grandest science fiction fantasies are fast becoming reality.
