Its non-competition Cannes placement was confirmed just yesterday, and ParisMatch (via ThePlaylist) have now provided our first look at Michel Gondry's mysterious, bound-to-be-strange youth comedy The We and the I. But, much as we know little about this project and the true content of its plot, this image of two unknowns comes off as pretty minor, too.
The French auteur has already indicated that his film centers on "high school students on the bus home on the last day of the school year," with that story serving as the skeleton for "a sort of study of group dynamics and the evolution of relationships as the bus gradually becomes emptier." (It was once indicated this would actually follow "a group of school kids who travel into the future by mistake and discover a machine that keeps people younger," but that could be entirely absent by now. Oh, Gondry!) For now, enjoy this quick peek and hope the word out of France next month is positive.
Have you been keeping an eye out for The We and the I?

• Extrajudicial targeting/punishment violates the U.S. constitution, and has enabled crimes against humanity. Government intelligence, security, law enforcement and revenue officials are said to be complicit.
GET POLITICAL w/ VIC LIVINGSTON, NowPublic.com/scrivener
Former business reporter, Fox TV Phila., NY Daily News, Phila. Bulletin, St. Petersburg Times
The reality of domestic torture delivered by ideologically-driven, cold-hearted agents of government and their vigilante citizen operatives is finally gaining public exposure by way of first-hand accounts — including that of this correspondent, a mainstream journalist who who has been "community stalked" and tortured by means of silent, potentially deadly radiation weaponry for nearly five years.
In a matter of weeks, this correspondent believes, operatives who have been involved in the purposeful "dosing" of American citizens with various forms of pulsed radiation emitted from so-called "directed energy weapons" and devices will begin to come forward, confirming reports of what's been euphemistically labeled as "electronic harassment" by victims of so-called "community stalking" or "gang stalking."
The "gang stalking" moniker trivializes what is an extensive, multi-level government campaign of extrajudicial targeting and punishment that victims say extends into Canada, the United Kingdom and other industrialized nations.
The "targets" are not limited to "terrorists" or drug traffickers. They include individuals who have been labeled by persons in positions of authority as "dissidents," "radicals," "whistle-blowers" or undesirables, perhaps due to their lifestyles, their ethnic heritage, or their religious or political beliefs. Many find themselves slandered and unjustly accused of wrongdoing. Typically, they are not charged with any violation of the law — yet they are condemned nonetheless to a lifetime sentence of being "community stalked" by citizen vigilantes, over-reaching uniformed officers, or undercover agents.
Some victims who are charged with crimes typically maintain that they were framed — set up with fabricated or planted "evidence" or entrapped. Journalists are among targeted classes; but many don't realize they are subject to pervasive surveillance, physical harassment and career sabotage until they are already ruined, professionally and personally.
These targeted persons — and their families — are subject to relentless harassment, including surreptitious entry into their homes and vandalism of their property, with surveillance data about their whereabouts and personal daily routines funneled to "community stalkers" who are recruited under the cover of government-funded community policing, town watch, and business-related anti-terrorism programs, even fire and rescue squads. The operations of these civilian vigilantes are supervised by agents of government, ranging from local police personnel to federal intelligence and security agents under whose direction these programs have been institutionalized.
Under the guise of performing "surveillance," the "targets" are subject to electromagnetic radiation of various forms — ranging from microwave energy, sound waves, even X-rays and gamma rays. The government publicly claims that these "directed energy weapons," or "D.E.W.", are still in the experimental stage, or that working equipment is large and bulky, such as the Army's recent demonstration of a microwave weapon tagged with an innocuous-sounding sobriquet, the "Active Denial System." The government describes these radiation weapons as "non-lethal" — when in fact, depending on the dosage of radiated energy delivered, they can stun, maim, burn, cause strokes or aneurysms, induce illness such as cancer, or kill.
These D.E.W. have are being widely deployed, as noted in an article in the April 2008 FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin. The article discusses the potential adverse health effects of D.E.W. fire. The article also states that law enforcement personnel themselves may fall victim to these adverse effects, should criminals or terrorists obtain D.E.W.
What the article does not state is that victims of "community stalking" have complained for several years that they are being tortured by painful D.E.W. radiation attacks, and that their health has been degraded by the cumulative effects of exposure to silent and potentially lethal beams of radiated energy.
These weapons share a characteristic that explains why few people outside of law enforcement are aware of their widespread deployment and usage: The radiation energy the weapons emit is silent and invisible, making possible "the perfect crime" — the covert application of potentially lethal force.
Victims of D.E.W. attack have tried to appeal to law enforcement for justice, but to no avail. Indeed, that's part of the "M.O." — when victims complain, they are routinely written off as delusional or mentally ill. Victims say that health care workers also cooperate in this persecution. Targeted persons may even be subject to attempts to commit them to psychiatric facilities, a means of accomplishing the underlying goal of extrajudicial targeting and punishment — the removal of "targeted individuals" (and by extension, their families) from mainstream society.
Victims of extrajudicial targeting also charge that their family finances are sabotaged and ultimately expropriated by secret government programs ostensibly implemented to disrupt the financial dealings of terrorists and drug traffickers. In effect, they say, they are victimized by a parallel system of transaction processing sold to lawmakers as necessary components of the "war on terror" — not as an ideologically-motivated tool of social control and political repression.
There is no rational or moral defense for this horrific domestic torture — what could be termed a campaign of "slow genocide" — which is happening right now in cities and towns across America. The "targets" typically pose no danger to society. They are victims of a political system that has institutionalized — and has attempted to legalize — extrajudicial punishment. The "war on terror" is the pretext that has been employed to effect a wholesale bypass of the judicial system, and of constitutionally protected rights.
This is the transformation of American democracy into a fascist police state — an American Gestapo, a frontal assault on our constitutionally guaranteed civil rights and liberties.
When the pervasiveness of this officially sanctioned and funded domestic terrorism and torture is confirmed by "official sources" — in recent times, the only sources that much of the mainstream media consider sufficiently credible — any excuses for the excesses that heretofore have come to light will be exposed as evil sophistry.
That day is coming, and very soon. In the meantime, please read related articles at http://members.NowPublic.com/scrivener and help secure the legal assistance of the American Civil Liberties Union (www,ACLU.org) or any other organization capable of bringing justice to the untold thousands of victims of extrajudicial targeting, punishment, and TORTURE in America 2008.

A new forum on Guantánamo Bay at the Boston Review website may be of significant interest to you. With fresh news from the Obama administration about its closing, this forum should be of particular interest to you.
We have assembled some of the top legal scholars on the issue to debate and discuss the closing of Guantánamo Bay. Below is a description of the forum that you could use on your blog if you'd like. All of the articles can be found at bostonreview.net/cole
The Boston Review website now features a forum on the prospects and problems of closing Guantánamo Bay. In the lead article, David Cole, Nation legal affairs correspondent and Georgetown law professor, argues for a surprisingly middle of the road position, acknowledging both the need to stop ongoing abuses and maintain flexibility in the fight against al Qaeda and other threats. Cole's approach permits preventive detention, but restricts it to a limited class of enemy fighters—not extending it to "suspected terrorists." This policy is, he says, "sensitive to both security and liberty."
The forum also features three responses to Cole's proposal. Joanne Mariner, director of Human Rights Watch's Terrorism and Counterterrorism Program, rejects preventive detention and suggests some alternatives. Eric Posner, professor of law at the University of Chicago, criticizes the limited scope of Cole's approach to detention and attempts to justify the restriction on civil liberties by the Bush administration. Finally, Robert Chesney, professor of law at Wake Forest University, agrees philosophically with that Cole proposes but criticizes Cole's legal method for tackling the issue.
Read it all on bostonreview.net .
The Boston Review dedicates itself to providing informative, relevant content. We hope that your blog is interested in this forum on Guantánamo Bay. Please let us know if you have any questions.

great article..this needs to stop and if there is a group that can do it i know its the ACLU group...
Jan 12th, 2009 at 10:08am
It would be great if a sign made Obama do what is right, but it's not going to happen. Even if Guantanamo is one day closed, the same prisoners (and- of course - new ones) will be transferred to the same place with a different location and name.
Marc Stager
Jan 13th, 2009 at 1:15pm
Dear Mr. President.
Don't close Guantanamo. Not yet.
Granted, there have been horrible abuses against the prisoners there, but those, hopefully, have stopped. And it's been a grossly inefficient institution, costing $60,000,000 per year to operate, and with 2200 employed to run the facility housing 248 inmates, that makes it approximately nine service personnel at a cost of over $240,000 per year per prisoner,
Don't close it - reform it.
Either a prisoner is charged with a crime and gets his day in court, represented by competent and well prepared legal counsel, or he is set free. Immediately. Already 500 prisoners who had been held without being charged with any crime have been released, some after as many as six years of confinement and often torture. For those others who have never been charged with any crime and won't be, some will find going home to be impossible, facing death or torture there. With the help of the UN, it should be possible to find them safe haven. Others will have family and friends waiting for them. There's no reason the release process should not take more than a few weeks.
For those who have committed verifiable acts of terror, approximately 50 to 80 individuals, try them and if convicted, they serve their sentences in a reformed, downsized, efficiently run, Guantanamo prison. Not the ugly torture chamber of the Bush years. Then shut it down when the last convict has served his sentence.

I am ashamed of these illegal detentions, they are a disgrace to my country. I will be watching closely to see how this situation is resolved and take hope in the promises of the next administration to do so.
One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office. That means we cannot host comments on our site that show a preference for one candidate or party. Although we in no way wish to discourage you from that activity elsewhere, we ask that you not engage in that activity on our website (or include links to other websites that do so). Additionally, given that we are subject to very specific rules concerning the collection of personally identifying information through our website (names, email addresses, home address, financial information, etc.), we ask that you not use the comments portion of this blog to solicit this information from users of our website. We also ask that you not use the comments portion for advertising or requests for legal assistance, and do not add to your comment links to other websites, as we cannot be responsible for the content on other websites.
We are not able to respond to unsolicited inquiries, complaints or requests for assistance sent to this blog. Please direct your complaint or request for assistance to the ACLU affiliate in your state. Requests for legal assistance left in the blog comments will not receive a response or be published.

Florence fennel, a wonderfully ornamental vegetable, is grown for its swollen leaf bases or 'bulbs' and edible leaves. When using in salads, the flavour can be improved by slicing the bulb and putting it in a bowl of water and ice cubes in the fridge for an hour. Steam, grill or boil the 'bulbs' and serve with cheese sauce or butter; infuse the leaves in vinegar or add as garnish to salad.
Provide plenty of moisture throughout the growing season, keep weed free and mulch to conserve moisture.
Earth up (mound soil) round the bulbs as they start to swell, from mid-summer until mid autumn, until the bulb is mature and about 7-10cm (3-4in across) to blanch bulb and to exclude autumn frosts.
Feed with high potassium fertiliser every two weeks once established.
The largest bulbs are formed in warm, sunny, moist summers.
Bolting: Crops start to flower and produce seeds prematurely; leaves are unusable. This is most often caused by dry soil or hot weather but with fennel, it can be caused by day length and transplanting shock.
Remedy: Ensure the soil or compost in pots is kept moist, especially during hot, dry spells. Using a temporary shade screen or sheets of shading material will help during very sunny weather. Keep the soil moist at all times.
Find out more information on bolting
Slugs: Eat leaves and young shoots.
Remedy: It's impossible to completely eradicate slugs and snails, so protect vulnerable plants. Non-chemical controls including hunting by torchlight on mild, damp nights, or making traps consisting of a jar half-filled with beer sunk into the ground near plants. Iron phosphate-based pellets are effective and less likely to harm other wildlife than other pellets.
Find out more information on slugs
Small bulbs: Small bulbs grown; only a small part of the bulb is white.
Remedy: Ensure that they are earthed up properly and maintain moisture levels in the soil.
Around 20 days after 'earthing up', cut the bulbs off at ground level. They will then re-sprout and the small shoots can be used in salads.
'Perfection': Produces medium sized bulbs with a delicate aniseed flavour. Resistant to bolting and ideal for early sowing.
'Cantino': Has a refreshing aniseed flavour. Bolting resistant.
'Amigo' AGM: Produces uniform, slightly flattened bulbs. Bolting resistant.
'Heracles' AGM: Fast maturing, with moderately sized, flattened bulbs.

Editor's Note: Prime Visibility's client has requested its name not be disclosed, but has allowed the use of its success metrics for the purposes of this Case Study.
Prime Visibility's client operates a Yahoo! store that sells sports and non-sport trading cards and memorabilia directly to the public. Among the products sold by the client are Yu-Gi-Oh cards, which have become the latest collecting craze for children since Pokemon. Yu-Gi-Oh has been on the Lycos Top 50 search terms for the last 38 weeks (50.lycos.com/)
The Website was not receiving substantial traffic from the search engines. As a small business, it lacked a budget for aggressive advertising in a competitive marketplace. In addition, the company had previously engaged an SEO company that essentially achieved search engine rankings by paying to be listed in Overture's pay per click advertising results. Since the site was developed using Yahoo's proprietary shopping cart system, there were some technical limitations in properly optimizing the site for the search engines.
To increase the amount of qualified visitors, Prime Visibility implemented a comprehensive strategy for this company that included researching the appropriate relevant keywords and phrases that would produce targeted traffic for the Website. We implemented search engine optimization techniques such as creating new title tags, meta tags and ALT tags as well as wrote search engine friendly sales copy. Prime Visibility also submitted the site to the Yahoo! and DMOZ directories and advised the client on proper link building strategies. Prime Visibility™ regularly keeps the client current on the latest keyword trends.

The shower floor was very slippery and needs a good de-grease.Also the bathroom floor gets soaking wet because the shower door has a huge gap between it and the jambe. The crabtree and evelyn is very nice though! I thought that the real milk in the mini fridge was brilliant. I was chaged for parking even though I explained that I was attending a conference. It later turned out that parking was included in the conference fee.

Bob Franken: Of closets and lockers
Do you know what's really sad each time someone public declares that he or she is coming out of the closet? What's so wrong is that we still have closets. Thus it was with the big announcement by University of Missouri All-American defensive lineman Michael Sam that he is gay.
Stories erupted everywhere in the mainstream media and certainly the not-so-mainstream Internet outlets.

ZZ plant question
This is my ZZ plant. I'm wondering if it's at all normal for the stalks of leaves to occasionally uproot and fall over - sometimes even the new growth. It gets some light - not direct ligh - ad adjacent to a window in my living room. I water it about once a week. It's in regular indoor/outdoor potting soil. I've owned it for almost a year, I've probably had about 6-8 stalks uproot over that time - some old some new. When this happens it's usually mushy and soft at the base of the stalk. Sometimes the leaves discolored first but other times the leaves looked good when it fell over. I don't think it was due to overwatering because for the first 6 months I had it, it was in very low light spot, and I only watered it about once a month, but it still uprooted sometimes. Then I repotted it and moved to a brighter location, and began watering more frequently. Photos below.
What I see is a zz, badly in need of more light, and less water...that friend u show, is clearly rotted, it may not be due to over water, but I bet it is!
Mine are outside under alot if shade, they still get some direct light and rather bright light all day, I still water them only about once a month, when soils very dry on top...
Good luck
In addition to the location/sun issue, I think its' pot situation is similar to this Anthurium.
The pebbles are a top dressing, I'm assuming, a thin layer on top? Quite attractive, but they can slow drying quite a bit vs. exposed soil. I wonder if having the pebbles so close to the crown is more likely to aid rotting at the crown. I've not had great results trying similar setups before, but ZZ plant wasn't one of them. Fairly new to this plant but can report that being in somewhat dappled sun in the morning, until about 11:30 is not causing sunburn.
If the sun shines on the plant at some point each day, I think that would help warm the rocks and bake the surface dry, which should make rotting much less likely to occur, as well as offer the natural detoxifying effects of UV rays. I might also give the crown a little more space/air by moving the pebbles away from that area.

'nuff said, yo.
Let's see... they are sharing the cost with some neighborhood group but you can bet that Google will receive 100% of the market research data, tracking data and web advertising benefits from this. All the while the people are using this thinking that it is a free service given to them gratis out of the goodness of a multibillion dollar giant.
Google has found a way to monetize the Internet in interesting ways that either haven't occurred to others yet or aren't available to others because they do not have the market reach. This allows them to give valuable stuff away apparently for free while all the time raking in huge amounts of money. Some disclosure might be nice here - like how much Google will make the first year of doing this. If this information became public it might inspire other companies to do likewise until everyone had their fill of apparently free stuff with huge hidden costs in privacy and tracking. Rolling out a city or two a year isn't going to show people the real downside to this tactic.

Rogers Cup and Prostate Cancer Canada
Toronto, Canada
by ATP Staff|
In 2010 Tennis Canada made the decision to partner with a national Not-For-Profit organisation at the Rogers Cup presented by National Bank in Toronto. Tennis Canada chose Prostate Cancer Canada with the goal of creating awareness regarding the facts about prostate cancer among Canadian men.
Prostate Cancer Canada conducted free PSA blood tests on site every other day for a few key hours throughout the tournament. Over 375 free PSA blood tests were completed at Rogers Cup—a great success. On Tuesday of the event, Prostate Cancer Awareness Day, over 5000 pins were sampled to fans and the over 1000 tournament volunteers wore the pin, staff and distinguished guests were seen wearing the trademark Prostate Cancer Canada tie and/or scarf while signage and centre court mention added to the exposure.
In 2011, Tennis Canada looks to build upon this successful partnership and new tradition, now in its second year, with extending the program in Montreal at the Coupe Rogers where the men of the ATP will return.

At The Drive-In talk future plans, which could involve new material
Following our look at At The Drive-In's comeback at Austin's Red 7 venue last night, which involves fan footage (view here) - FACT have pointed us to an interview LA Weekly did with the group, which is based around why they decided to get back together and what the future has in store for them.
"The most exciting part to me is that there's not a firm ending to this band. This isn't the sort of thing where we're taking advantage of the reunion status and going and doing as many festivals as we can. We're doing this very slowly and we literally don't know what's going to happen," says Jim Ward.
Not only that, but they've managed to claw back the masters for Relationship Of Command, which means a reissue on their label (Twenty-first Chapter) is on the cards.

"Very Nice Stay"
My family and I had a very nice stay in this hotel. The room was spacious, clean and very nice. The daily hot breakfast was great and as an added bonus during the week they also include dinner with your stay. The menu is different daily and is posted in the room. The hotel was very conveniently located near tons of restaurants and the interstate, but […] is also off the beaten path a bit so there are no major busy roads and noise. Would definitely stay there again while visiting the Nashville area. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Marijuana Room"
We booked a non smoking room, but were given a smoking room. When we asked for another room we were told there were no more rooms available. The hallway reeked of smoke and body odor, but the worst part came when we opened the door to our room. The entire roomed reeked of marijuana. I guess this is what you get for $195 and you're a Gold Hilton Honors […] Member. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"I expected more..."
We chose to stay at Homewood Suites because of the space that the rooms provide for a family of five. Though this particular hotel was not clean and there was an awful smell that lingered in the hallway and crept its way into our room on the first floor. The furniture was in poor condition and dirty and the infant crib, which wasn't really a crib, but […] a pack and play was horrible. We definitely won't stay here again.

My family had a good stay at Homewood Suites. The room and beds are clean. There is one thing I need to say. I missed the hotel and followed the GPS to Baymount Inn. I almost missed it again at the second time. The sign was covered by something and can not be seen easily from the street.

I agree with the reviews I read before leaving for my trip: it needs paint and care, but it is generally well run and clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Experience had"
My family of three was very impressed with our stay in a one bedroom suite with surprisingly fully stocked kitchen, super comfy bed and bath and shower that was the cleanest I've seen in a hotel in awhile. Not to mention the height of the shower head could easily fit someone 8 feet tall. Good quality shower head with adjustable water spray. Nice flat […] screens in both rooms. The couch bed worked great for our toddler. The only thing we were puzzled by was the front entrance to the place does not have automatic doors so that it makes for carrying in luggage and carts etc. difficult while having to try to hold the door open. We couldn't remember the last time we stayed at a hotel that didn't have automatic doors in the entrance. Not so helpful. And obviously no door person at this level of hotel. Also agree it was difficult to find as it was in an office complex sort of place. Once I left to pick-up dinner even with GPS in the car it was difficult to find the way back in the dark. But overall great stay and breakfast was impressive, we would return. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

The staff was very friendly and made my check in and out a breeze. The room we stayed in was so much better then I expecte, clean and well maintained.

We stayed and had a really good meal. This is defenityl the hotel ill be staying at for my next trip to Nashville Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Satisfied overall."
Our room wasn't ready when we arrived for check-in. They took our phone number and said they would call when the room was lean. Desk staff really didn't even apologize for the delay, just stated the housekeeping crew was running behind due to lots of late check-outs. After an eight hour drive with tired children, we really didn't feel excited to drive […] around exploring and feeling homeless right away. The room was very nice, clean and comfortable with two beds and a fold out sofa. The full size fridge for storing food was a plus. The set up was a little awkward with the bathroom accessible only through the bedroom. The lobby area was nice and a decent breakfast with several hot items was included. Two negatives: the hallways weren't kept clean (carpets were very stained and not even vacuumed in areas) and the side entry staircases were very industrial (one was used for garbage bags from housekeeping). Not as nice as I had hoped for the area and price, but we were satisfied with our stay overall. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Nice for a Nashville getaway"
Booked this hotel to attend a concert in downtown Nashville. The room was clean and neat. The breakfast the next morning was acceptable. The French toast was cold. I guess it had been sitting for too long. We had to look for a long time for the syrup. It was located a distance from the French toast. Who knew it would be next to the oatmeal?

"Good hotel, but thin walls"
Good place for several night stay in the Nashville area. Above average location and hotel - but you pay $100 a night, too. Nice breakfast with more than just cereal (omelet, sausage, bisquits - no gravy). Only bad thing was the sound. The walls seemed fine, but the ceiling wasn't too well insulated. There was a family with little kids running all around […] above us until 10:30 pm and then they were up at 6:30 am running around again (parent not considerate of other travelers). Also, when someone flushed a toilet or turned on the water in adjoining rooms, it sounded like coming from our bathroom. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Best hotel under $125"
I would rate this 4.5, but that's not an option. Every room is a suite, with kitchenette, dishes, pots and pans, and dinette. Was perfect for us and our 18 month old. The continental breakfast menu changes everyday. I'm not sure if it's listed or not, but they also serve free dinner, with beer, every night. The only bad thing I have to say is we left […] the card indicating a bedding change and the sheets were not changed, however they promptly did when we asked them to. Overall a great stay, couldn't have worked out better for us. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

It was cooked right there and had variety and healthy choices as well as traditional breakfast foods. You could eat it there or take it back to your room. The rooms were comfortable and […] spacious.

Your thoughts on Bt...is it safe?
A friend of mine is having a major battle with white butterflies. She was about to haul out the Derris Dust when I went on the "rotenone...bad...off approved organic lists..." spiel and recommended she try Bt instead.
She was very curious about its environmental safety and potential for harming beneficial and indigenous Lepidoptera. I had to admit I had no idea and hoary old truisms like "no free lunch" started playing in my head. I've avoided using it, as I'd rather squash things and not kill off all the parasitic wasp dinner, but I hadn't considered any possible wider implications
She's got a Masters in some sort of biology, so I have to take her concerns seriously.
There's a fair amount of "Bt's bad" stuff online, but I'd be very interested to read your thoughts.
The Bacillus thurigiensis spores will infect only those larva that ingest it, so they must be leaf eating caterpillars if the strain used is Kurstaki. The other strains are similarly somewhat target specific. If you were to spray some on a pipevine or snakeroot when the larva of the Pipevine Swallowtail were there eating they would be killed by the BTK, so due care in application (like any other pest control) is necessary even though the BT's are fairly target specific.
Bt products can also harm non-target organisms by being disposed of carelessly (FYI, Kimmsr).
The primary concerns with all of the Bt strains used to control assorted pest insects are pest resistance caused directly by over use, the serious decline in native butterfly and moth populations (and the animals that rely on them and their larvae for food), and allergic reactions.
If each of us would use the products responsibly, there would be less risk to the environment. But Bt products are used extensively in commercial agriculture, agronomy, forestry, etc. I guess I'd rather they spray Bt out of airplanes to control gypsy moths (just for example) than malathion.
Speaking of gypsy moths, science is fast working towards producing microbial and biochemical pesticides that are VERY target specific. Rather than something that is toxic to ANY feeding lepidopterans, we now have a product that is specific to the Gypsy Moth! That's just one example. Cool, huh?
The major method of control for the Gypsy Moth has been to aerial spray Bacillus thuringiensis - Kurstaki in affected areas, at a time the Gypsy Moth larva are most susceptible and other insect larva are not yet around. The key is to spray either at a time that others are not affected (before of after they would be susceptible) or use due care (as I stated above) when applying the product.
Researchers have found that there is a natural disease that is appearing in areas infested by the Gypsy Moth that is killing off the larva but they have not isolated that, yet, and do not know how it spreads around.
I think I'll avoid it: having a hand in increasing pest resistance etc is not something I'd like to take responsibility for.
So we really shouldn't use anything that kills anything. Hmm. Surprise surprise.
No more poking brassicas in gaps, they must be segregated under row-covers for their (and my)good.
With regards to pest resistance to Bt the culprit is shown to be GMO crops that incorporate Bt crystals. Insects feeding on GMO potato and tobacco plants have shown some resistance build up.
Bt when used properly and at the proper timing is very target specific. The spores containing the toxin that actually kills the target insect is only released within the insect if TWO things happen. 1. The Bt is ingested by the insect. 2. The insect stomach is of the correct Ph to dissolve the covering of the crystal. What pest you target determines which strain you use and at time in the insects life cycle you apply it. When used properly and with proper care Bt is very safe to use.
I use Bt on brassica crops to kill cabbage worms. If I sprayed it on carrots and its relatives I would kill butterfly caterpillars but they are not on the brassicas. See what I am saying? Bt is the absolute safest pesticide because it is so targeted to just what eats it. Nothing else is as safe.
I believe the resistant to Bt resulting from GE crops is in corn rootworms. So cabbage pests shouldn't have resistance yet.
By white butterflies do we mean cabbage moths?
BT resistance in GMO is in a variety of pests...in GMO cotton it's becoming less effective for a variety of pests (especially boll worm) because too many farmers seem to think it's their right to plant a full field of BT rather than the suggested 20/80 non-BT/BT in order to give diversity to the pests. Well, it is their right, but it's a stupid use of their rights. Greed has caught up with some farmers in some areas and now they're having to use more expensive pesticide control measures.
This is huge problem in developing countries (especially India) and the South-East US. In some areas of the South-East US it's currently a 50/50 (n-BT/BT) recommendation for cotton because of farmer misuse. Where they've tried to control it in India the farmers have turned to black/grey-market seed sellers to source their GMO cotton seed because they've been limited from legit sources based on the amount of known cropland they have. Some of that black market seed has caused residual issues...such as not really being GMO seed and farmers not applying correct pest control issues because they assume the plant will take care of it. There's probably as much black/grey market cotton seed sold in India as there is legit seed.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A U.N. General Assembly vote on Thursday recognising a Palestinian state will do nothing to make it a reality, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Israel had fiercely opposed the Palestinian bid to become a "non-member state" at the United Nations, but had been unable to prevent wide international support for the initiative, notably among its European allies.
"This is a meaningless resolution that won't change anything on the ground. No Palestinian state will arise without an arrangement ensuring the security of Israeli citizens," Netanyahu said in a statement issued by his office shortly before the U.N. vote was to be held.
Netanyahu accused the Palestinians of violating agreements with Israel by going to the U.N. unilaterally. "Israel will act accordingly," Netanyahu said. "The way to peace between Jerusalem and Ramallah is through direct negotiations without preconditions, not unilateral decisions at the U.N."
Peace talks collapsed in 2010 in a dispute over Jewish settlement building on territory Palestinians seek for a state.
The Israeli leader used unusually strong language to denounce a speech to the General Assembly by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas - who had singled out an Israeli offensive in Gaza last week in which at least 170 Palestinians were killed. Six Israelis died in rocket fire from Gaza.
Abbas's comments were "hostile and poisonous", and full of "false propaganda", a statement released by Netanyahu's office said. "These are not the words of a man who wants peace."
Israel had mounted an intensive campaign, supported by the United States, to dissuade European governments from backing the Palestinian move in the 193-nation U.N. General Assembly, long sympathetic to the Palestinians.
The vote took place on a date burned into collective memory - the Assembly voted on November 29, 1947 for Resolution 181 to partition British-ruled Palestine into two states, one Arab, one Jewish. Arab rulers rejected it and, after bitter fighting, Israel alone was recognised as a state six months later.
"No matter how many hands are raised against us," Netanyahu said during a visit to a museum in Jerusalem ahead of the U.N. vote, "there is no power on earth that will cause me to compromise on Israel's security."
Israel, which has occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem since 1967, says a Palestinian state must be the product of direct negotiations and a peace deal that imposes security measures and charts borders that pose no danger to Israelis.
Netanyahu, while hinting Israel may seek to retaliate, made no specific mention of punitive measures, in a shift in tone after eight days of fighting around the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu is running for re-election in a January 22 national ballot and has been accused by critics of harming Israel's international standing through his Palestinian policies.
Israeli officials said Israel will wait and see what the Palestinians do after the vote, which will allow them access to the International Criminal Court where they could seek action against Israel for alleged war crimes.
The Palestinians have signalled they are no hurry to join the ICC, and pledged in their draft resolution to relaunch the peace process immediately after the vote. Recognition by the General Assembly falls short of the legal weight of a similar move by the U.N. Security Council. A U.S. veto on that body ensures that Palestinians have little immediate prospect there.
Just two weeks ago, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said the U.N. Assembly's approval of the Palestinian resolution would "elicit an extreme response from us".
Another member of Netanyahu's right-wing cabinet, Environment Minister Gilad Erdan, said three years ago that Israeli counter-measures could include annexing some of the 120 settlements in the West Bank.
But in the past week, Israeli officials have retreated from such talk, retrenching after European countries, which had been largely supportive of Israel's November 14-21 Gaza offensive, started showing their backing for Abbas's U.N. move.
Israel is now threatening only one measure: the withholding of $200 million from the monthly transfers of duties that Israel collects on the Palestinian Authority's behalf. It says it will cover the PA's debt to the Israel Electric Corporation.
The deduction, equal to two months' worth of Palestinian tax receipts, would be painful for Abbas's cash-strapped government in Ramallah. But it would stop short of a formal suspension of transfers vital to the economy in the occupied West Bank.
Israel has previously frozen payments to the PA during times of heightened security and diplomatic tensions, provoking strong international criticism, such as when the U.N. cultural body UNESCO granted the Palestinians full membership a year ago. (Editing by Crispian Balmer and Myra MacDonald)
