Experts want to bring animals back from extinction
Comment on this storyLondon - Scientists have met to discuss the possibility of bringing back 24 animals back from extinction.
But a real life Jurassic Park is not an option, it is said, because dinosaur DNA is just too old.
The so-called "de-extinction" of a number of species was discussed at a TEDx conference in Washington DC sponsored by National Geographic.
They included the dodo bird, the Carolina parakeet, last seen in 1904 in Florida, and the quagga, a plains zebra which once lived in South Africa.
The last wild one was shot in 1870 and the last in captivity died in 1883, the Journal reports.
The teams chose the animals using a number of criteria, and discussed the ethics of bringing them back to life. They discussed whether the species were desirable, if they held an important ecological function or if they were beloved by humans.
They also discussed if they were practical choices, and if there would be access to tissue with good-quality DNA samples or germ cells in order to reproduce the species.
They also considered whether they are actually able to be reintroduced into the world and what the reasons for extinction were in the first place.
This month's National Geographic explains how de-extinction works – by taking old DNA samples and reassembling them into a full genome.
This is then injected into embryonic cells which have had their own DNA taken out, and a suitable living surrogate is found to give birth.
According to the Washington Post, 10 years ago, a team of scientists from France and Spain brought back an extinct wild goat – but it only lived for 10 minutes.
De-extinction does however raise a number of ethical and logistical questions, including how scientists can get a usable DNA sample from an extinct animal, and also whether they should.
The cost of de-extinction varies by species but it is believed could run into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It comes after scientists used cloning technology to attempt to bring back a frog from extinction by implanting a "dead" cell nucleus into a fresh egg from another frog species. The resulting embryos lived for just a few days.
But the groundbreaking research by the Lazarus Project has brought the "de-extinction" of creatures like woolly mammoths to the forefront of scientific discussion.
In repeated experiments over five years, the researchers used a laboratory technique known as somatic cell nuclear transfer.
Using a method similar to that imagined in the blockbuster Jurassic Park, they took fresh eggs from the distantly related Great Barred Frog, deactivated their nuclei and replaced them with genes from the extinct frog. Some of the eggs spontaneously began to divide and grow to early embryo stage – a tiny ball of many living cells from a creature extinct for 30 years.
Although none of the embryos survived beyond a few days, genetic tests confirmed that the dividing cells contain the genetic material from the extinct frog. – Daily Mail

Sapphire Rings to Celebrate Longer Evenings
Posted By Beverly A. Guy On April 4, 2013 @ 9:00 am In Gemstone Jewelry,Gemstone Rings,Womens Jewelry | Comments Disabled
The evenings are finally starting to get longer again! As daylight increases, we often have more opportunities to gaze into the evening sky, and stand in awe as the stars appear. Sapphire rings capture the color of the heavens as day fades into night, adding sophistication to your finger any time of day.
Sapphire has been linked to the sky for thousands of years. The ancient Persians believe that earth was balanced atop of a humungous sapphire, and that the shade of this gigantic gemstone was reflected by the heavens. To this day, this gemstone has never failed to catch eyes and imaginations.
The deep, rich indigo glimmer of sapphire is always sophisticated, transcending trends and looking chic year after year and decade after decade. As one of the four classic gemstones, it never goes out of style, and it brings an upscale look to a wide range of styles. For instance, the Three Stone Sapphire Engraved Ring in 14K White Gold is an incredibly classy choice. Three sapphires preside over this chic piece; the largest of these gems, a 0.45-carat oval-shaped sapphire, is bookended by two similarly-shaped 0.15 sapphires. These glimmering indigo gems are accented by 10 round diamonds, totaling just over a quarter carat, that stud the band on either side of the three center stones. A repeating motif is carved into three sides of the 14K white gold band, accenting the stones it displays.
The timeless beauty of sapphire makes it an especially fitting pick for styles that are inspired by times past, such as the Victorian Era and the Art Deco Period. The Sapphire and Diamond Heart Ring in 14K White Gold is an excellent example of the beauty of vintage sapphire styles. A 5mm round sapphire is this ring's main attraction, set in a hexagon of 14K white gold. This timeless stone is accented by two smaller round diamonds, each of which is framed by a delicate carved heart. Like all sapphire and diamond rings, this piece calls to mind the sparkle of stars in the night sky, as colorless dazzle gorgeously contrasts with deep blue glimmer.
Sapphire's timeless beauty allows it to easily represent lasting love, and rings that feature it are unique and meaningful ways to pop the question. Apples of Gold carries a number of sapphire engagement rings, as well as sapphire bridal sets such as the Antique-Style Sapphire Wedding Ring Set. Like the aforementioned sapphire and diamond heart ring, this piece is inspired by simpler times, and it displays a meticulously-crafted design that has proven its ability to endure through countless trends. This engagement ring in this set is adorned with a 4.5mm round sapphire, surrounded by a feminine motif of swirls and cutouts. A slender wedding band displays a similar design that curves gracefully alongside its partner.
Pieces of blue sapphire jewelry, such as these striking rings, are lovely ways to celebrate the longer evenings of early spring. However, the deep, rich indigo glimmer of sapphire makes these pieces fitting picks in any season.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Violence spiked in southern Afghanistan as militants stormed a NATO military base and attacked a police checkpoint Tuesday, a day after gunmen wearing police uniforms killed a U.S. soldier.
The heaviest fighting in Afghanistan this summer has been in the south and east where Afghan forces are increasingly taking charge of security from their international partners. That could signal a rocky transition as foreign combat troops are due to withdraw by the end of 2014.
Most of the attacks over the past two days occurred in the southern Kandahar province, the Taliban's birthplace.
Insurgents attacked a NATO base before dawn Tuesday in Kandahar's Shah Wali Kot district, but no service members were killed, the U.S.-led coalition said.
"Initial reports indicate that seven insurgents launched an attack on a NATO installation and initially were successful in breaching the outer security perimeter," NATO said in a statement. "Current reporting indicates all the attackers have been killed."
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was targeting troop sleeping quarters.
Provincial government spokesman Javid Faisal said initial reporting indicated that at least one foreign worker was killed and two other foreigners were wounded, but the report could not be independently confirmed.
A few hours later, militants wearing Afghan police uniforms attacked a police checkpoint in Kandahar city. Three policemen were killed and nine others were wounded during an hour-long gun battle that ensued, according to the Ministry of Interior. Four militants also died.
The Taliban again claimed responsibility and said the clash lasted six hours.
The U.S. and other foreign troops have increasingly been targeted by Afghan security forces, or militants disguised in their uniforms.
On Monday, three gunmen dressed in Afghan police uniforms killed one American service member and wounded nine others in Kandahar's Zhari district, U.S. officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the attack was still under investigation. Faisal, the spokesman for Kandahar province, said the attackers fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the coalition forces and then fled the scene.
The Defense Department said U.S. Army Pfc. Jarrod Lallier, 20, of Spokane, Washington, died after his unit was attacked with small arms fire and grenades. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Efforts to draw down the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan rely on the Americans working closely with their Afghan partners to train and mentor them so that they can take over the security of their country. Such insider attacks fuel distrust between the two forces and have triggered increased security protections for the U.S. service members serving in Afghanistan.
It remains unclear whether the gunmen were actual members of the Afghan National Police or militants dressed in their uniforms.
The number of insider attacks in the country has escalated, with more than a dozen fatal assaults already this year that have led to more than 20 deaths.
Last year 21 fatal attacks killed 35 coalition service members, according to the coalition. That compares with 11 fatal attacks and 20 deaths the previous year. In 2007 and 2008 there were a combined total of four attacks and four deaths.
The increase accelerated after a series of mistakes and other behavioral problems by U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan, including the burning of Qurans and other religious materials earlier this year at a U.S. base north of Kabul.

This designer decorated condo is located in a recently renovated historic Art Deco building which is perfectly situated in the Heart of South Beach – between Lincoln Road and Espanola Way, just one block to ocean.

The condo is on the second floor. It's very quiet and charming. It is NOT facing the busy street; it's set back in the middle of the building facing south. See photos below to see the lovely view from both rooms – the condo clears a one-story building in front of it and it is very private - the only things you'll see in the windows are orange and palm trees. There are hurricane resistant windows, which will not only protect against hurricanes, but also block all outside noise. Central air conditioning will keep you cool all your around. The laundry room is on premises.
The condo is very well maintained and super clean. It's stocked with extra linens and towels (including beach towels). Kitchen is also fully equipped. There is a LCD cable TV with DVD player; Wi-Fi, new modern furniture, designer fixtures, hard wood floors, Italian kitchen, and stainless steel appliances.
There is 1 queen size bed + 2 sleeper sofas which turn into full size beds.

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Irene's apartment, which is spacious, comfortable, and pleasantly decorated. It's a quick walk to the beach, so the location is ideal, and the use of private codes instead of keys was immensely convenient and easy. Irene was even thoughtful enough to provide 2 beach chairs, beach towels, and a beach umbrella. She was immediately responsive, friendly, and helpful whenever we had questions or concerns. Thank you, Irene -- we hope to return soon!
Overall satisfied by this apartment, ideal location, clean, furniture quality and lots of accessories provided (towels, bed linen)
Excellent stay. Accurately described! Host was very friendly!
Appartement conforme à la description super bien placé et très bien équipé ce qui nous a permis de passer un excellent séjour. Petit bémol pas très bien insonorisé ( on entend un peu trop les gens au dessus)
C'est la seconde fois que je vais chez Irène. Et comme on dit, jamais 2 sans 3 ! Le condo est proche de tout (plage, rues touristiques, CV'S...), c'est vraiment pratique et fonctionnel . L'appart est top, lumineux, propre, il est 100% raccord avec les photos. Très bonne adresse :)

Biographical/Historical Information
T. S. Eliot (1888–1965) American-English poet, essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic is considered to be one the twentieth century's most influential authors. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Eliot was educated in philosophy at Harvard, the Sorbonne, and Merton College, Oxford. After settling in England, Eliot worked for a time as a schoolmaster and a bank clerk, and eventually literary editor for the publishing house Faber & Faber -of which he later became a director. In 1922 he founded and edited the exclusive literary journal the Criterion but chose to cease production in 1939 due to the onset of World War Two and paper shortages. In 1927, Eliot became a naturalized British citizen and converted the Anglican Church. Eliot's experimental use of diction, style, and versification in works such as The Waste Land (1922) and Four Quartets (1943) revitalized English poetry and marked him as a leading member of the Modernist Movement. The publication of Four Quartets was widely praised, and in 1948 Eliot was awarded both the Order of Merit and the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Scope and Content
This collection consists primarily of the correspondence of T.S. Eliot (1888 - 1965) to fellow authors Stephen Spender (1909 - 1995) and John Middleton Murry (1889 - 1957). Included are 66 letters to Murry, written between 1919 and 1956; and 138 letters to Spender, written between 1928 and 1963. Topics include publishing ventures, fellow authors, and comments on current reading. Many of Eliot's letters are written in his professional capacity as editor of the Criterion or a director of Faber and Faber. The Eliot-Spender correspondence was acquired from Stephen Spender in 1965 and the Eliot-Murry letters were purchased from a dealer sometime after Murry's death, or acquired individually in subsequent years. A listing of the letters follows and individual cards are filed in the manuscript shelflist. Eliot's letters to several miscellaneous recipients are also listed.

Loo Law: The Public Washroom as a Hyper-Regulated PlaceIrus BravermanState University of New York (SUNY), Buffalo, SUNY Buffalo Law School January 6, 2009 Buffalo Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2009-03 Hastings Women's Law Journal, Vol. 20, No. 1, 2009 Abstract: The article suggests that the public washroom is the most regulated of all public spaces, at least in the United States. It offers several possible explanations for this hyper-juridical attention. First and foremost, the article argues, such hyper-regulation of the public washroom has to do with the sanitary and moral significance of this space. Secondly, the intensity of washroom regulation is due to its ambiguous public/private properties. Finally, the intense regulation of the public washroom is the result of physio-anatomical functions performed in it. Utilizing the State of New York as a lens through which to observe the various issues raised by what it refers to as "loo law," the article unravels the regulatory regime that governs this mundane and somewhat unattended to space. This exploration of the minute operations of law is also the basis for broader claims made in this article about the relationship between law and architectural design. Mainly, the article argues that legal norms not only reflect certain cultural norms and practices but that, through their physical manifestation, these cultural norms and practices are also standardized and fixed by legal norms. Hence, the combined work of law and architectural design renders certain norms and practices - e.g. the gender-based segregation of washrooms or our sitting posture on toilet seats - more rigid and less changeable, in turn accounting for what we tend to consider as our second nature. Number of Pages in PDF File: 29 Keywords: Law and Geography, regulation and inspection of commercial washrooms, public/private divide, hygiene and spatial design, law and architecture, legal pluralism, gendered spaces, Science and Technology Studies Date posted: January 8, 2009Suggested CitationContact Information

The McDavid 429 X Hinged Knee Brace with crossing straps has two geared hinges with steel supports on the inside (medial) and outside (lateral) of the brace which physically assist the knee bending while reducing rotational movement of the knee joint. This dramatically reduces the pressure on the ligaments when bending the knee and aids rehabilitation. The hinges also include a stopper which prevents hyper-extension of the knee joint. The McDavid 429 X Hinged Knee Brace has a padded buttress with open patella to keep the knee cap in a central position when bending the knee. This will also relieve any tendonitis around the knee cap that will often be caused by Ligament damage. The knee support has four elastic crossing straps that mimic the cruciate ligaments to help reduce the workload of a weak knee joint. There are also two further Velcro straps on the thigh and calf to hold the support in place. The 429 X Knee Brace is made from 5mm Neoprene fabric which offers a combination of support, compression and heat retention, which aids rehabilitation and eases pain and swelling from around the knee. It is Latex free. The McDavid 429 X Knee Brace offers a medium-high level of protection, ideal for rehabilitation from patella or ligament knee injuries, relieving the symptoms of arthritis, tendinitis and bursitis and for general protection of the knee.

"Thresholds Between Architecture and Landscape Architecture: 'site out of mind'" 2004 Woltz Symposium At The University Of Virginia
March 4, 2004 --
WHAT: Woltz Symposium – "site out of mind"
WHEN: Friday, March 26, 2 to 6:30 p.m., Saturday, March 27, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
WHERE: Campbell Hall, University of Virginia (Sébastien Marot, critic, theoretician and editor of "Le Visiteur," will present the Howland Lecture, the symposium's keynote address, Friday at 5 p.m.)
The Woltz Symposium addresses interdisciplinary topics related to the city, in particular the dialogue between architecture and landscape architecture in conceiving of and constructing the public realm.
"Site out of mind" will examine the gaps, thresholds and hybrid conditions — aesthetic, social, environmental, ethical and disciplinary — that are developing between architecture and landscape architecture, said assistant professor and organizer Phoebe Crisman. "This topic is of particular interest to U.Va. architecture school faculty and students, who recently combined the previously distinct departments of architecture and landscape architecture into one joint department."
In four sessions across two days, panelists and audience members will discuss features that pervade North American cities, but are rarely recognized or tackled by designers: edges between one thing and another resulting from a collision between scales and uses; leftover spaces under, over and along elevated highways; railway lines and other immense infrastructural elements; or large urban voids and ruined places. Symposium speakers include:

The Scientific Myth of Evolutionism
The postulate of molecules-to-human evolution by natural selection (evolutionism), like creationism, cannot be demonstrated empirically. Therefore, the creationism-evolutionism controversy offers a choice between intelligent design by God and unintelligent design by evolutionary selection. Scientists are split on philosophical grounds since events in the immaterial realm are outside the purview ofOrigin of Species in Light of Sciences Limitations and Historical Records
Were humans created, or did they evolve? This debate continues to rage between science and religion. In Creation or Evolution?, author Michael Ebifegah examines these two worldviews within the framework of science.. He examines the constraints of science as an explanatory framework for the origin of species and compares the contemporary world to a hypothetical world under the influence ofAn Easy-to-Understand Guide to the Controversy
What is ID? Why is it controversial? Intelligent design is surrounded by a storm of debate. Proponents and opponents have both sought to have their voices heard above the din. Is it unscientific? Is it a danger to real Christian faith? Is it trying to smuggle God into the classroom? Controversy can create confusion rather than clarity. So here to clear things up is Bill Dembski, one of theTheology in the Context of Science
Just as gendered, cultural, and geographical perspectives have illuminated and advanced theological thought, the contributions of twentieth-century science have much to offer theology. In his latest book, physicist-theologian John Polkinghorne, renowned as one of the world's foremost thinkers on science and religion, offers a lucid argument for developing the intersection of the two fields as

A Scientific
and Religious View of Creation
Did God create life, or did the world spontaneously appear? Drawing on meticulous research into the scientific and religious realms, Our Universe is a detailed study of the origin of the universe, life on Earth, and the destiny of mankind. Biophysics professor Faiz M. Khan combines both faith and science to present a balanced overview of a highly controversial topic. Khan explores the scientificDarwin, God and the Meaning of Life
How Evolutionary Theory Undermines Everything You Thought You Knew
If you accept evolutionary theory, can you also believe in God? Are human beings superior to other animals, or is this just a human prejudice? Does Darwin have implications for heated issues like euthanasia and animal rights? Does evolution tell us the purpose of life, or does it imply that life has no ultimate purpose? Does evolution tell us what is morally right and wrong, or does it imply thatA Lawyer Assesses the Evidence for the Existence of God
We are living in an increasingly secular age where man seeks to build his own life without recourse to his Creator God. Under the guise of "rationalism" Christianity is ridiculed as "out of date"or "irrelevant." God and the Atheist answers the most fundamental questions about Christianity, such as: How do we know there is a God? How do we know there is only one God? How do we know the Bible is theFaith in the Age of Science: Atheism, Religion, and the Big Yellow Crane
First-time author and former vicar Mark Silversides tackles one of the most challenging questions of our day: should we have faith in the age of science? Claims made in favour of both atheism and religious observation are examined engagingly and sensitively. Proponents of both viewpoints will find Faith in the Age of Science a challenging and deeply interesting read."An outstanding book, and aA Christian Humanist Inquiry Into a Persistent Controversy
Why is it that 150 years after the celebrated appearance of Charles Darwin?s evolutionary vision, reasonable people?laity and professional scientists alike?remain skeptical toward it? Does Darwinian science, as various ?new atheists? assert, nullify the rationality of theistic belief? What is the nature of Evolutionism as a worldview with religious implications?

Rory Fallon has urged the New Zealand national team to ãget uglyã if they want to succeed on the international stage.
The All Whites were beaten 4-2 by Mexico in the second leg of their intercontinental World Cup playoff in Wellington on Wednesday night to lose 9-3 on aggregate and the St Johnston striker believes the team has to be tougher to beat in the future.
ãWe need to get a bit more streetwise, we need to get to the ugly side of our game,ã said the scorer of Wednesdayãs second NZ goal.
ãIt was men against boys. But boys will turn into men and weãve got four another four years for them to grow into themselves.ã

Fortress Europe: European Fortifications of World War II
The Maginot Line is the most famous fortification system of World War II, but in fact most European countries were busy building fortified defensive lines from the end of World War I until 1941, when the limitations of the French approach became obvious. In addition to the West European sources and contacts he drew upon for the popular Hitler's Blitzkrieg Campaigns, J. E. Kaufmann has now been able to use previously-unavailable East European archives to provide new material on the Soviet Stalin and Molotov Lines and the Czech Nachod-Ostrava defenses. A truly comprehensive account of all European fortifications of the World War II era is available now for the first time, supplemented by scores of remarkable technical drawings by Polish artist Robert M. Jurga.

The park has a few loops that they maintain, and these are easy singletrack rides. Cutting through the park is the Bruce Trail, which is the real reason to ride here ("with explicit permision", of course!) Find the Nature Center (straight in from the road), and around the back there should be a map of sorts. Failing that, just ride. You won't get lost if some sense of direction. If you want more adventure, follow the Bruce Trail out of the park (three trails, and it's a good idea to have the Bruce Trail Handbook with maps) Note: it is probaly best to avoid the oh so perfect weekends when everyone else may be hiking or camping in here. I have never had a problem, but respect the trails, and pay your fee at the front gate... |

Track laps help boost race pace
To improve speed, shorter workouts on a track is a viable training option
Most runners want to be faster, and to be faster you have to run faster. Or in the words of a famous philosopher: Duh.
Many runners do their runs at the same pace which is certainly okay, but doesn't do much to enhance performance. To truly improve, there's a need for speed. You can speed up your training runs, or run with faster people who hopefully pull you along.
However, the tried and true way to improve speed is to do shorter workouts on a track. The classic formula for distance runners is to build a base of longer, slower mileage before taking on increased speeds at shorter distances.
Ideally, you train through the winter and early spring with longer and slower runs, taking rest days when needed.
After building that base, inject some faster-paced runs into your routine. A programmed weekly session of track intervals can result in major improvements.
Recently I've been helping with the Oak Park Runners Club's weekly speed workouts on the Concordia track. I've enjoyed seeing some of the newer runners making dramatic improvements in just a few sessions. Getting used to faster leg turnover for shorter distances pays big dividends at races.
Running with a group on the track also injects an element of peer pressure, pushing you to hang in there a bit longer, or holding that faster pace for just another lap, even if you're winded. On the track I discovered that I could run in extreme discomfort for a lot longer than I previously had imagined. By running in a group, the collective pace pushed me a lot harder than if I was running alone.
There are endless varieties of track workouts featuring combinations of laps or time segments around the track.
A common workout was a "ladder." Starting with a quick 400 meters (one lap), followed by a minute of recovery, then 800 meters (two laps), and so on, up to four laps (a mile). Then back down the ladder, aiming to run the final 400 at the same pace as the first. That amounted to four total miles of speed work, and a good workout.
Another notorious session was "16 quarters," an announcement by the coach that was always met with groans. The grueling workout involves a single hard lap with a short recovery jog repeated 16 times!
Sometimes on a hot summer evening after a long workday, I'd think that I couldn't last for even two laps. But than a strange thing would happen, and before long, the laps accumulated. On the final repetition, it became a matter of pride to run it as fast, or faster, than the first one.
In my peak running years I ran about five miles on my moderate-paced daily runs. I also would put in a longer run on Saturday (maybe 12 miles) and a track workout on Wednesday evenings. That formula served me well for years as I was conditioned for everything from 5Ks to half marathons.
All those hard laps on the track usually paid off on race day.

Track workouts are both challenging and fun. I find I do my best work when I have other people out there challenging me.

Industry Hugs Biotech Trees
Agriculture: Proponents of genetically modified forests could seek the regulatory green light in four years.
First there were herbicide-tolerant soybeans and worm-resistant corn. Despite the controversy swirling around such genetically engineered crops, they are now planted on millions of hectares of U.S. farmland. And there are growing indications biotech trees will be next.
Three of the world's largest paper and lumber producers have formed a joint venture, called ArborGen, that hopes to be the first group to commercialize genetically modified trees. ArborGen expects to seek approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other regulatory bodies for mass planting by 2005. Based in Summerville, SC, the company has access to the vast research base of its corporate parents: International Paper, Westvaco, and Fletcher Challenge Forests, plus a New Zealand-based genomics company, Genesis Research and Development.What tree is a likely first candidate? ArborGen isn't saying. But the venture has access to several technologies for tree modification. Among them are ways to suppress genes that produce lignin, a plant component that must be chemically removed to make paper. Other technologies include ways to make trees herbicide tolerant and to minimize crossbreeding risks by controlling their ability to reproduce.
Trees headed for the market from ArborGen include genetically modified hardwoods like poplar and sweet gum, used for high-quality paper products. ArborGen also believes it can stock plantations of modified pine and eucalyptus trees, workhorse species that can be used for building products or ordinary paper pulp. "I think the first product we put out will be a very important product, not only for technical performance, but in how we are perceived," says Maud Hinchee, the newly hired chief technology officer at ArborGen. "We want to make sure that when we launch a product, it will be perceived by the public as being safe and beneficial."
Environmental groups are already concerned. "There's a big difference between genetically modified crop plants and trees, in the sense that trees are perennial and live a long time," says Jane Rissler of the Union of Concerned Scientists. "Will tree roots pump out a genetically modified toxin for years and years? And what happens if you have insect-resistant trees spreading genes to relatives that live outside, in unmanaged ecosystems? There are many ecological issues with [modified] trees that need to be carefully studied."
To prepare itself for the emerging debates over biotech-tree safety, the industry has joined with the state of North Carolina-a center for both biotech research and the $3.2 billion forest-products industry-to form the Institute of Forest Biotechnology, a Research Triangle Park, NC-based think tank chartered to promote the societal benefits of modified trees and address environmental concerns. Steven Burke, the institute's director, argues fast-growing, efficient stands of modified trees could better serve the needs of the paper and wood industries while reducing chemical pollution from papermaking and leaving more wild forests alone.
The think tank will have a lot to think about: ArborGen isn't the only group developing biotech trees (see table at left). In the past decade, the USDA has given 136 approvals-most in the last three years-for small outdoor test plots, some of which include fruit trees. David Wheat of the Bowditch Group, a Boston-based agricultural technology consulting firm, says work is also progressing in labs and testing fields as far flung as Canada, Australia and South Africa. Genetically modified trees, he says, "are reaching the point of practical application. They'll enter the commercial sphere gradually, because of regulatory and public concerns, but also because you don't plant a million [hectares] the first year out. But, he added, "I don't think we are going to see genetically engineered Time magazine pages until 10 years from now."

Cristeen ~ Always remembering our warrior ~ Our is 3, how'd that happen?!?!

2012 Decluttering challenge - 575/2012
Postpartum doula & certified breastfeeding educator, mama to an amazing girl (11/05) and a wee little boy (3/13).
I usually make rice or quinoa or potatoes, and a cooked veggie (such as frozen vegetables mixed with diced onions and some kind of fat and baked for 45 minutes or so)
Oven fries, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, potatoe salad
Risotto Roasted butternut sxquash & apples |
Well, with what is currently available at the farmer's market...
Roasted Brussel Sprouts Pan fried eggplant Mashed cauliflower Roasted Cauliflower Sauteed Broccoli Rabe Mashed butternut (acorn, whatever) Roasted parsnip Sauteed broccoli Maple roasted winter squash Glazed carrots Roasted carrots |
I just made a yummy side dish the other night to go with the pesto chicken paninis I made. I just threw stuff in that I was craving at the time.
The ingredients were: 1 cup whole wheat couscous (cooked according to directions on box) 1 jar of marinated artichoke hearts (not the ones in oil!) 2 tomatoes (on the vine) 1/2 container of low fat feta cheese, crumbled 1/2 cup sliced kalamata olives extra virgin olive oil balsamic vinegar salt and pepper to taste dried oregeno to taste I chopped everything up and threw it all into a bowl. I added a bit of marinade from the artichoke hearts, and then a splash of olive oil and a splash of balsamic. I then added the salt, pepper and oregano to taste. It turned out great and was even better the next day. |
Barley risotto! Make it just like rice risotto, only with barley. WAY yummier.
Brussel sprouts blanched, then sautéed with bacon and finished with a touch of honey. Works equally well with the green tops of brussel sprout stalks, if you get them that way. Carrots and parsnips baked in foil with butter, cumin and maple syrup Leeks sautéed with butter, with a little blue cheese melted in. umm... I'm really tired, I'll come back to this thread if I think of anything brilliant tomorrow... |
So what's the way you would cook brussels sprouts for someone who doesn't like them?
Mama to DS ('06), DD ('08), and DD (9.18.11).
How do you do your mac n cheese? I have a recipe for a main dish, it is excellent (dh's fave dish) but SO fattening and time consuming that I prepare it only a few times a year.
Any specific recipes for the above, or just common sense (I'm a decent cook, so for ex I would toss carrots with a bit of EVOO and then roast at 400 or so for 20 min, then check for doneness.....so I'm not incompetent, just uncreative at the moment! )

Audrey Tautou plays Coco Chanel in this film about the fashion giant's early years.
There seems to be no end of interest in Coco Chanel — much more than you would have suspected could have been generated by a collarless white jacket or a little black dress. Coco has come to mean something: female liberation, perhaps, or the gritty self-determination that takes one from an orphanage to one's own fashion house. Or maybe it's just that she's a great subject for movies because the costumes are guaranteed to be sensational.
But Chanel never really emerges from Coco Avant Chanel, Anne Fontaine's re-telling of the early years. Coco was in many ways a self-invention — in the film she lies consistently about all aspects of her childhood — so the movie, based on Edmonde Charles-Roux's book L'Irreguliere, is something of an educated guess. An educated guess in great hats.
The facts, as we see them, are that Gabrielle Chanel and her sister Adrienne are dropped off at an orphanage by their faithless father, and 15 years later they are Audrey Tautou and Marie Gillain, singing in a provincial cabaret in turn-of-the-century France. Their signature song, "Coco at the Trocadero," provides her nickname.
At the cabaret, Coco meets Etienne Balsan (Benoit Poelvoorde), a millionaire horse-owner, and she shows up at his castle one day to insinuate herself into his life.
"You can stay two days," he tells her, and indeed, several years later she does leave. In the meantime, she becomes his mistress/plaything — at one stage, Balsan "loans" her to a friend, an Englishman named Arthur "Boy" Capel (Allesandro Nivola), who may have been the love of her life, although Coco was a bit prickly about that.
Audrey Tautou is Coco Chanel and Alessandro Nivola is Arthur "Boy" Capel,
the man she loves, in "Coco Before Chanel."
"A woman in love is helpless," she says. "Like a begging dog." And Coco Chanel had no intention of being a begging dog.
Boy Capel takes Coco away for two days to Deauville, where she sees fishermen wearing those striped French sweaters and adopts the idea for herself. Throughout her time with Balsan, we see Coco sizing up the current fashions — she hated the long fussy dresses of the era, the corsets, the jewelry ("they are showing off their silverware"), the feathered hats, which she called meringues from a pastry shop. She loved men's clothing, and Balsan's tweed sports coats are just one item that provides inspiration.
In the movie's final scene, Coco has become Chanel and she is sitting on the steps of a fashion show as a parade of her dresses go by. She is wearing a Chanel suit.
Coco Avant Chanel is in many ways about the cost of that suit.
Picking through the Chanel myth, Fontaine discovers a hard-edged young woman who holds the aristocracy in contempt, although she is happy enough to lie around all day reading books, hating Balsan's friends and being inspired by the passing parade of fashion.
Tautou has the look of Chanel, a co-gamin, but she is pretty well confined to two expressions, sulking and flirting. It isn't until late in the picture, when she feels she may be falling in love, that we see any of the fire that could have driven such a woman.
French actress Audrey Tautou finds it tiring playing Chanel,
the intense dynamo who built a fashion empire.
The movie meanders through this story, more concerned with the naturalistic settings and the fashionable accoutrements.
However, this may be an occupational hazard when dealing with the contradictions of Coco: she is a similarly elusive presence in another current movie, Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, about her affair with the revolutionary composer (that movie, which is designed so that every room looks like a Chanel suit, takes up where Coco Avant Chanel ends.)
Still, naturalistic settings and fashionable accoutrements are nothing to sneeze at, and Coco Avant Chanel finds some resonance when it dresses Tautou in long wool overcoats and stands her at the edge of the beach, her back to us, to form an evocative image, or sends her to a costume party wearing a cut-down men's suit and wide hat, looking like a Belle Epoque version of Annie Hall.
As for the woman inside the clothes, she remains a mystery, someone who — like a polo shirt that she converts into a cardigan sweater — has been altered so much it's impossible to know who she really was. That's the story that Coco Avant Chanel never penetrates. The costumes, however, are sensational.
