Tetrodotoxin from Japanese puffer fish has been labeled with tritium and purified from the crude mixture obtained. The interaction between the purified [3H]tetrodotoxin and membrane suspensions from the olfactory nerve of long-nosed garfish has been investigated by equilibrium dialysis. Tetrodotoxin binds to membrane suspensions with a dissociation constant KD = 8.3 nM. The nerve preparation binds 42 pmol of [3H]tetrodotoxin/g of wet tissue at saturating toxin concentrations. With various hydrolytic enzymes, the binding component is shown to be a protein embedded in a phospholipid environment. The binding is inhibited below pH 4.0 and is not stable towards heat. Tetrodotoxin binding is not inhibited by the local anesthetic, procaine.

Domanick Davis vs. Tony Hollings, running back
Davis burst onto the scene as a rookie fourth-round pick last year when he rushed for more than 1,000 yards, despite missing the first part of the season with an injury. Davis has already gone on record as saying 2,000 yards is his goal this year. But Hollings might have something to say about that. The Texans took him in the supplemental draft last summer with the idea he could be a back of the future. He was coming off knee surgery, so they knew it would take some time. Hollings flashed at times when he did get on the field last season, and could be more of an every-down back than Davis.
Edge: Davis. Been there, done that.
Opening-day starter: Davis. It's not going to be easy taking away his carries.
It will be intresting to see how the RB position unfolds by mid-season.

Represent! Record Numbers of Women of Color in the House
By Grace Hwang Lynch on November 08, 2012
BlogHer Original Post
If President Obama's re-election was a confirmation that the politicians need to embrace the changing face (or is it faces?) of our nation, the winners of the Congressional races show that voters want our representatives in Washington to actually represent the many kinds of people who make up America. The 2012 election may go down as one of the most diverse campaign seasons ever. Not just in the faces celebrating President Barack Obama's re-election, but in the candidates who won the Congressional races.
Tuesday's election results will make the 113th Congress the most diverse legislature our nation has seen. Not only are we seeing an all-time record number of women on The Hill, they are from a variety of races, religions, sexual orientations and abilities. If the 1992 election is remembered as "Year of the Woman", perhaps the 2012 election will go down as "Year of the Woman of Color". Overall, the old boys club now includes an Asian American woman in the Senate and 28 women of color in the House of Representatives.
Here's the breakdown:
Record Numbers of Asian Americans Elected to Office
A total of six Asian Americans Pacific Islander women, all Democrats, are headed to Congress in January. This is an especially big deal for a community of nearly 10 million voters, who often feel overlooked in political discussions. But the 2012 down ballot races were record making for Asian Americans, with the number of Asians running for office tripling over past election seasons.
Now there are four new Asian American women headed to Congress. Maizie Hirono will become first Asian woman to serve in Senate, in fact she is only the second woman of color in the Senate – ever. Representing Illinois in the lower house is Tammy Duckworth (D), who is half-Thai, and made a stunning entrance to the Democratic National Convention on her two prosthetic legs, the result of her wounds while serving as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot in the Iraq War. Other newcomers include Grace Meng (D-NY), a Taiwanese American and Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), an Indian American and the first Hindu Representative. Like Duckworth, Gabbard is also a military veteran.
Most importantly, the rise in numbers of Asian Americans running for office is a reflection of a demographic that is not only rapidly growing, but increasingly political.
Latinas Shaped the Presidential -- and Congressional -- Vote
Latina voters are showing their electoral muscle this fall, not only as voters, but as politicians. Nine Latinas will be serving in the next Congressional session, including two incoming freshmen: Michele Lujan Grisham (D-NM) and Gloria Negrete McLeod (D-CA).
Other high profile Latino winners, notably in Texas, include Tea Party candidate Ted Cruz won a seat in the Senate and Democrat Joaquin Castro, brother of San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, won a place in the House. However, many Latinas – notably from California—defended their seats in Congress, including: Grace Flores Napolitano (D), Linda Sanchez (D) and Loretta Sanchez (D).
The only two GOP minority women in Congress, Jaime Herrera-Beutler (R-WA) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) are also Latinas.
African-Americans Remain the Largest Minority Demographic in Congress
Thirteen African-American women, all Democrats, will be serving in the 113th Congress, making up the largest minority demographic. Among them, will be just one newcomer, Joyce Beatty from Ohio. And many veterans retained their seats, including Maxine Waters (D-CA), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) and Corrine Brown (D-FL).
However, it was not a good election for black Republicans. Mia Love, the 36-year old mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah and a rising star who spoke at the RNC, was projected to win a seat in the House. Instead Love was narrowly defeated by a moderate Democrat Jim Matheson. If she had won, she would have been the first black Republican woman to serve in Congress. At this time, Tea Party favorite Allen West – controversial for sexist, racist, and Islamaphobic comments-- is projected to lose his Florida Congressional seat, but an extremely close count could trigger a recount.
But is it enough?
While diversity is increasing in the halls of Congress, it is still not anywhere near representative of the American population.
And will having more diversity in Washington make a difference?
It's a good start.

Braised Endive
Author Notes: This is how I remember endives from my childhood, in simple neighborhhod brasseries in Geneva, with the sugar, butter and lemon a foil to the bitterness of the endives, but not significant enough to draw attention to themselves. Its a nice, simple side. - nogaga
Serves 2
- 2 endives
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- juice of half a large lemon
- Melt butter in medium-sized non-stick pan. Sprinnkle about the half the sugar on the butter.
- Slice the endives in half lengthwise, and place, sliced size down, in the pan over medium heat. Sprinkle remianing sugar and slat over the endives and trun over, to caramelize the second size, after about five or six minutes.
- When the endives are nicely caramelized on both sides, deglaze with juice of half a lemon.
- Serve. This side is a particularly good accompaniment for roast chicken and veal.

Love the idea of combining sugar, butter and lemon to braised endive. Of course, endive are so versatile, they accommodate just about any cooking technique and flavor pairing. Glad to hear that endive brings back nice memories as well. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

communication (n.)↕
Communication is the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, signals, writing, or behavior. Derived from the Latin word "communis", meaning to share. Communication requires a sender, a message, and a recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the sender. Feedback is critical to effective communication between participants.

Human spoken and pictoral languages can be described as a system of symbols (sometimes known as lexemes) and the grammars (rules) by which the symbols are manipulated. The word "language" also refers to common properties of languages. Language learning normally occurs most intensively during human childhood. Most of the thousands of human languages use patterns of sound or gesture for symbols which enable communication with others around them. Languages seem to share certain properties although many of these include exceptions. There is no defined line between a language and a dialect. Constructed languages such as Esperanto, programming languages, and various mathematical formalisms are not necessarily restricted to the properties shared by human languages. Communication is the flow or exchange of information within people or group of people.
A variety of verbal and non-verbal means of communicating exists such as body language, eye contact, sign language, paralanguage, haptic communication, chronemics, and media such as pictures, graphics, sound, and writing.
Manipulative Communications was studied and reported by Bryenton in 2011. These are intentional and unintentional ways of manipulating words, gestures, etc. to "get what we want", by demeaning, discounting, attacking or ignoring instead of respectful interaction. Sarcasm, criticism, rudeness and swearing are examples.
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities also defines the communication to include the display of text, Braille, tactile communication, large print, accessible multimedia, as well as written and plain language, human reader, and accessible information and communication technology.[1]

Nonverbal communication describes the process of conveying meaning in the form of non-word messages. Research shows that the majority of our communication is non verbal, also known as body language. Some of non verbal communication includes chronemics, haptics, gesture, body language or posture; facial expression and eye contact, object communication such as clothing, hairstyles, architecture, symbols infographics, and tone of voice as well as through an aggregate of the above.
Speech also contains nonverbal elements known as paralanguage. These include voice lesson quality, emotion and speaking style as well as prosodic features such as rhythm, intonation and stress. Likewise, written texts include nonverbal elements such as handwriting style, spatial arrangement of words and the use of emoticons to convey emotional expressions in pictorial form.[citation needed]
Oral communication, while primarily referring to spoken verbal communication, can also employ visual aids and non-verbal elements to support the conveyance of meaning. Oral communication includes speeches, presentations, discussions, and aspects of interpersonal communication. As a type of face-to-face communication, body language and choice tonality play a significant role, and may have a greater impact upon the listener than informational content. This type of communication also garners immediate feedback.
Over time the forms of and ideas about communication have evolved through progression of technology. Advances include communications psychology and media psychology; an emerging field of study. Researchers divide the progression of written communication into three revolutionary stages called "Information Communication Revolutions".[citation needed]
During the first stage, written communication first emerged through the use of pictographs. The pictograms were made in stone, hence written communication was not yet mobile.
During the second stage, writing began to appear on paper, papyrus, clay, wax, etc. Common alphabets were introduced and allowed for the uniformity of language across large distances. A leap in technology occurred when the Gutenberg printing-press was invented in the 15th century.
The third stage is characterised by the transfer of information through controlled waves and electronic signals.
Communication is thus a process by which meaning is assigned and conveyed in an attempt to create shared understanding. This process, which requires a vast repertoire of skills in interpersonal processing, listening, observing, speaking, questioning, analyzing, gestures, and evaluating enables collaboration and cooperation.[2]
Misunderstandings can be anticipated and solved through formulations, questions and answers, paraphrasing, examples, and stories of strategic talk. Written communication can be clear by planning follow-up talk on critical written communication as part of the normal way of doing business. Minutes spent talking now will save time later having to clear up misunderstandings later on. Then, take what was heard and reiterate in your own words, and ask them if that's what they meant.[3]
Communication is the key factor in the success of any organization. When it comes to effective communication, there are certain barriers that every organization faces. People often feel that communication is as easy and simple as it sounds. No doubt, but what makes it complex, difficult and frustrating are the barriers that come in its way. Some of these barriers are mentioned below.
Barriers to successful communication include message overload (when a person receives too many messages at the same time), and message complexity.[4]
Physical barriers: Physical barriers are often due to the nature of the environment. Thus, for example, the natural barrier which exists, if staff are located in different buildings or on different sites. Likewise, poor or outdated equipment, particularly the failure of management to introduce new technology, may also cause problems. Staff shortages are another factor which frequently causes communication difficulties for an organization. Whilst distractions like background noise, poor lighting or an environment which is too hot or cold can all affect people's morale and concentration, which in turn interfere with effective communication.
System design: System design faults refer to problems with the structures or systems in place in an organization. Examples might include an organizational structure which is unclear and therefore makes it confusing to know who to communicate with. Other examples could be inefficient or inappropriate information systems, a lack of supervision or training, and a lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities which can lead to staff being uncertain about what is expected of them.
Attitudinal barriers: Attitudinal barriers come about as a result of problems with staff in an organization. These may be brought about, for example, by such factors as poor management, lack of consultation with employees, personality conflicts which can result in people delaying or refusing to communicate, the personal attitudes of individual employees which may be due to lack of motivation or dissatisfaction at work, brought about by insufficient training to enable them to carry out particular tasks, or just resistance to change due to entrenched attitudes and ideas.
Ambiguity of Words/Phrases: Words sounding the same but having different meaning can convey a different meaning altogether. Hence the communicator must ensure that the receiver receives the same meaning. It would be better if such words can be avoided by using alternatives.
Individual linguistic ability is also important. The use of difficult or inappropriate words in communication can prevent people from understanding the message. Poorly explained or misunderstood messages can also result in confusion. Interestingly, however, research in communication has shown that confusion can lend legitimacy to research when persuasion fails.[5][6][7]
Physiological barriers: may result from individuals' personal discomfort, caused—for example—by ill health, poor eyesight or hearing difficulties.
Presentation of information: is also important to aid understanding. Simply put, the communicator must consider the audience before making the presentation itself and in cases where it is not possible the presenter can at least try to simplify his/her vocabulary so that majority can understand
Every information exchange between living organisms — i.e. transmission of signals that involve a living sender and receiver can be considered a form of communication; and even primitive creatures such as corals are competent to communicate. Nonhuman communication also include cell signaling, cellular communication, and chemical transmissions between primitive organisms like bacteria and within the plant and fungal kingdoms.
The broad field of animal communication encompasses most of the issues in ethology. Animal communication can be defined as any behavior of one animal that affects the current or future behavior of another animal. The study of animal communication, called zoosemiotics' (distinguishable from anthroposemiotics, the study of human communication) has played an important part in the development of ethology, sociobiology, and the study of animal cognition. Animal communication, and indeed the understanding of the animal world in general, is a rapidly growing field, and even in the 21st century so far, many prior understandings related to diverse fields such as personal symbolic name use, animal emotions, animal culture and learning, and even sexual conduct, long thought to be well understood, have been revolutionized.
Communication is observed within the plant organism, i.e. within plant cells and between plant cells, between plants of the same or related species, and between plants and non-plant organisms, especially in the root zone. Plant roots communicate in parallel with rhizome bacteria, with fungi and with insects in the soil. These parallel sign-mediated interactions are governed by syntactic, pragmatic, and semantic rules, and are possible because of the decentralized "nervous system" of plants. The original meaning of the word "neuron" in Greek is "vegetable fiber" and recent research has shown that most of the intraorganismic plant communication processes are neuronal-like.[8] Plants also communicate via volatiles when exposed to herbivory attack behavior thus warning neighboring plants. In parallel they produce other volatiles to attract parasites which attack these herbivores. In stress situations plants can overwrite the genomes they inherited from their parents and revert to that of their grand- or great-grandparents.
Fungi communicate to coordinate and organize their growth and development such as the formation of mycelia and fruiting bodies. Fungi communicate with same and related species as well as with nonfungal organisms in a great variety of symbiotic interactions, especially with bacteria, unicellular eukaryotes, plants and insects through semiochemicals of biotic origin. The semiochemicals trigger the fungal organism to react in a specific manner, while if the same chemical molecules are not part of biotic messages, they do not trigger the fungal organism to react. This implies that fungal organisms can differ between molecules taking part in biotic messages and similar molecules being irrelevant in the situation. So far five different primary signalling molecules are known to coordinate different behavioral patterns such as filamentation, mating, growth, and pathogenicity. Behavioral coordination and production of signalling substances is achieved through interpretation processes that enables the organism to differ between self or non-self, abiotic indicator, biotic message from similar, related, or non-related species, and even filter out "noise", i.e. similar molecules without biotic content.[citation needed]
Communication is not a tool used only by humans, plants and animals, but it is also used by microorganisms like bacteria. The process is called quorum sensing. Through quorum sensing, bacteria are able to sense the density of cells, and regulate gene expression accordingly. This can be seen in both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. This was first observed by Fuqua et al. in marine microorganisms like V. harveyi and V. fischeri.[9]
The first major model for communication came in 1949 by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver for Bell Laboratories[10] The original model was designed to mirror the functioning of radio and telephone technologies. Their initial model consisted of three primary parts: sender, channel, and receiver. The sender was the part of a telephone a person spoke into, the channel was the telephone itself, and the receiver was the part of the phone where one could hear the other person. Shannon and Weaver also recognized that often there is static that interferes with one listening to a telephone conversation, which they deemed noise.
In a simple model, often referred to as the transmission model or standard view of communication, information or content (e.g. a message in natural language) is sent in some form (as spoken language) from an emisor/ sender/ encoder to a destination/ receiver/ decoder. This common conception of communication simply views communication as a means of sending and receiving information. The strengths of this model are simplicity, generality, and quantifiability. Social scientists Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver structured this model based on the following elements:
Shannon and Weaver argued that there were three levels of problems for communication within this theory.
Daniel Chandler critiques the transmission model by stating:
In 1960, David Berlo expanded on Shannon and Weaver's (1949) linear model of communication and created the SMCR Model of Communication.[11] The Sender-Message-Channel-Receiver Model of communication separated the model into clear parts and has been expanded upon by other scholars.
Communication is usually described along a few major dimensions: Message (what type of things are communicated), source / emisor / sender / encoder (by whom), form (in which form), channel (through which medium), destination / receiver / target / decoder (to whom), and Receiver. Wilbur Schram (1954) also indicated that we should also examine the impact that a message has (both desired and undesired) on the target of the message.[12] Between parties, communication includes acts that confer knowledge and experiences, give advice and commands, and ask questions. These acts may take many forms, in one of the various manners of communication. The form depends on the abilities of the group communicating. Together, communication content and form make messages that are sent towards a destination. The target can be oneself, another person or being, another entity (such as a corporation or group of beings).
Communication can be seen as processes of information transmission governed by three levels of semiotic rules:
Therefore, communication is social interaction where at least two interacting agents share a common set of signs and a common set of semiotic rules. This commonly held rule in some sense ignores autocommunication, including intrapersonal communication via diaries or self-talk, both secondary phenomena that followed the primary acquisition of communicative competences within social interactions.
In light of these weaknesses, Barnlund (2008) proposed a transactional model of communication.[13] The basic premise of the transactional model of communication is that individuals are simultaneously engaging in the sending and receiving of messages.
In a slightly more complex form a sender and a receiver are linked reciprocally. This second attitude of communication, referred to as the constitutive model or constructionist view, focuses on how an individual communicates as the determining factor of the way the message will be interpreted. Communication is viewed as a conduit; a passage in which information travels from one individual to another and this information becomes separate from the communication itself. A particular instance of communication is called a speech act. The sender's personal filters and the receiver's personal filters may vary depending upon different regional traditions, cultures, or gender; which may alter the intended meaning of message contents. In the presence of "communication noise" on the transmission channel (air, in this case), reception and decoding of content may be faulty, and thus the speech act may not achieve the desired effect. One problem with this encode-transmit-receive-decode model is that the processes of encoding and decoding imply that the sender and receiver each possess something that functions as a codebook, and that these two code books are, at the very least, similar if not identical. Although something like code books is implied by the model, they are nowhere represented in the model, which creates many conceptual difficulties.
Theories of coregulation describe communication as a creative and dynamic continuous process, rather than a discrete exchange of information. Canadian media scholar Harold Innis had the theory that people use different types of media to communicate and which one they choose to use will offer different possibilities for the shape and durability of society (Wark, McKenzie 1997). His famous example of this is using ancient Egypt and looking at the ways they built themselves out of media with very different properties stone and papyrus. Papyrus is what he called 'Space Binding'. it made possible the transmission of written orders across space, empires and enables the waging of distant military campaigns and colonial administration. The other is stone and 'Time Binding', through the construction of temples and the pyramids can sustain their authority generation to generation, through this media they can change and shape communication in their society (Wark, McKenzie 1997).
Bernard Luskin, UCLA, 1970, advanced computer assisted instruction and began to connect media and psychology into what is now the field of media psychology. In 1998, the American Association of Psychology, Media Psychology Division 46 Task Force report on psychology and new technologies combined media and communication as pictures, graphics and sound increasingly dominate modern communication.
In any communication model, noise is interference with the decoding of messages sent over a channel by an encoder. There are many examples of noise:
Environmental Noise: Noise that physically disrupts communication, such as standing next to loud speakers at a party, or the noise from a construction site next to a classroom making it difficult to hear the professor.
Physiological-Impairment Noise: Physical maladies that prevent effective communication, such as actual deafness or blindness preventing messages from being received as they were intended.
Semantic Noise: Different interpretations of the meanings of certain words. For example, the word "weed" can be interpreted as an undesirable plant in a yard, or as a euphemism for marijuana.
Syntactical Noise: Mistakes in grammar can disrupt communication, such as abrupt changes in verb tense during a sentence.
Organizational Noise: Poorly structured communication can prevent the receiver from accurate interpretation. For example, unclear and badly stated directions can make the receiver even more lost.
Cultural Noise: Stereotypical assumptions can cause misunderstandings, such as unintentionally offending a non-Christian person by wishing them a "Merry Christmas".
Psychological Noise: Certain attitudes can also make communication difficult. For instance, great anger or sadness may cause someone to lose focus on the present moment. Disorders such as Autism may also severely hamper effective communication.[14]

BERLIN (AP) - German cruiserweight Marco Huck retained the WBO title, outpointing Britain's Ola Afolabi on Saturday night.
Huck improved to 36-2-1, and Afolabi dropped to 19-3-4.
``I think I surpassed myself today,'' Huck said. ``Today I showed that I can box. Key to the success was my good preparation. ``Huck kept his belt after fighting Afolabi to a draw in May 2012, and beat the Briton with a narrow unanimous decision in May 2009.
Huck has made 11 successful defenses of the title he won from Victor Emilio Ramirez in 2009.
``I leave the ring today without a bad conscience,'' Huck said.

Sept. 6, 1938 - Aug. 7, 2007
PLYMOUTH Wanda L. Hughes, 68, of Plymouth, died Tuesday in MedCentral Mansfield Hospital.
She was born Sept. 6, 1938 in Prestonsburg, Ky. to the late Wiley and Bessie (Nolen) Howard and had been a Plymouth resident for 40 years.
She retired from MidWest Industries after 38 years of service and was a member of the Grace Valley Chapel in Shelby.
She is survived by her husband, Ray Hughes, whom she wed Sept. 25, 1956; sons and a daughter-in-law, Danny and Dona Hughes of Shelby, Ray Hughes of Shelby and Chad Hughes of Indiana; daughters and sons-in-law, Debbie and Michael Berry of Shelby, Kay and Steve Evans of Lagrange, Ind., Brenda Sweet of Plymouth and Sherri and Bruce Coburn of Shelby; 23 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren; a brother, Eddie Howard of Willard; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Facebook is throwing its chips into the real-money gambling pot, but only for its U.K. users, as London-based online gambling operator Gamesys rolled out Bingo Friendzy, which allows users 18 and over to compete for cash prizes.
BBC News reported that Gamesys is licensed and regulated by the government of Gibraltar, which is why it can offer Bingo Friendzy in the U.K., and the developer said players will be able to access self-help tools to reduce the risk of gambling addiction, including the ability to set spending limits.
While Facebook allowed the application to launch, the social network appeared to distance itself from Bingo Friendzy, with a spokeswoman for the social network stressing that the game is only available to U.K. users 18 and up and saying it was developed entirely by Gamesys, and not as part of a joint venture between the two companies. She added:
Real-money gaming is a popular and well-regulated activity in the U.K., and we are allowing a partner to offer its games to adult users on the Facebook platform in a safe and controlled manner.
There was no word on whether Facebook would distance itself from the 30 percent cut it currently receives on revenue from games and apps that use its platform, but leaving that sort of money on the table is probably not in the cards.
TechCrunch also pointed out that Facebook's age-gating technology will ensure that Bingo Friendzy activity does not appear on the timelines of users under 18, adding that those users will not see ads for the game, nor will any users outside of the U.K.
Julien Codorniou, Facebook's head of gaming for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, told Financial Times:
Gambling is very popular and well-regulated in the U.K. For millions of bingo users, it's already a social experience, so it makes sense for us to offer that, as well.
Don't expect similar games targeted toward Facebook users in the U.S., however, as the BBC pointed out that banks and other entities offering payment processing services to betting services are currently prohibited by law, and the social network's platform policies state:
Games that are an app on Facebook or the mobile Web must use Facebook payments as their sole and exclusive payment method for all virtual goods and currencies made available to users within the game. All other payment options are prohibited within games that are on apps on Facebook or the mobile Web unless they go through Facebook payments rather than directly through that payment option. By "payment method," we mean any method that allows a user to complete a transaction where the user receives virtual currency or virtual goods in a game that is an app on Facebook or the mobile Web in exchange for anything of value, including, without limitation, by exchanging monetary value for virtual currency or virtual goods, whether directly at the time of purchase or via any previous transaction such as the user's earlier purchase of a prepaid gift card or electronic code. In-game rewards of virtual currency or virtual goods earned by users through game-play activity alone are exempt from this definition.
Readers: Do you think the potential revenue Facebook stands to gain from venturing into real-money gaming is enough to offset the negative implications?

Nevada to the WS Bridge (the eastbound bridge exit to northbound 99 remains open).
YES, THAT'S A CRUISE SHIP: As we write, the German cruise ship Amadea is in Elliott Bay, bound for Pier 66 downtown. Cruise ships don't usually visit this early – but this one isn't on the Alaska run that brings ships here throughout the summer; it's on a worldwide cruise.
RELAY FOR LIFE-WEST SEATTLE KICKOFF: The cancer-fighting overnight event is four months away, but registration, planning, and organizing are under way, and today's the gala kickoff for Relay of Life-West Seattle. Visit the Menashe Gym at Seattle Lutheran High School (41st/Genesee) 11 am-3 pm today to join in; details here.
SOUP-MAKING AT WEST SEATTLE FARMERS' MARKET: Chaco Canyon Café is scheduled to be at the West Seattle Farmers' Market today, 11 am-1 pm (the full market runs 10 am-2 pm), to demonstrate soup-making with winter squash. 44th and Alaska.
CAMPAIGN COFFEE: City Councilmember Tim Burgess brings his mayoral campaign to Cupcake Royale (California/Alaska) 1-2 pm for a coffee event to talk with voters.

OSCAR PARTY AT OUTWEST: 4 pm, California/Brandon, per the bar's event calendar.
OSCAR PARTY ON VASHON: When we put out an open call for Oscar parties, we also heard from Eileen Wolcott, a third-generation West Seattleite and owner of the Vashon Theatre. A short ferry ride away, her theater has a big bash too, starting at 4 pm – "… the best Oscar event ever! Hop on the 3:40 boat to Vashon and watch the Oscars on the big screen, limo rides, catered dinner, costume contests, and live entertainment replace the commercial breaks. … It is our 10-year anniversary as owners, and we are donating all the prizes!" Find more details on the theater's website.
BENEFIT CLOTHING SWAP: This is also the big night for the women's-clothing swap to benefit moms-of-babies support organization Early Days, 5:30-7:30 pm at C & P Coffee (WSB sponsor), 5612 California SW – details in our earlier preview.

Bumblebees use complex problem solving skills to minimise the energy they use when flying to collect food, according to new research from Queen Mary, University of London. For the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris), as with many other animals, the simplest approach to finding more nectar would be to fly to the nearest neighbouring flower, particularly considering their tiny brain size. But a team from Queen Mary's School of Biological and Chemical Sciences has found that this isn't the case. The research team arranged six artificial flowers in a flight arena so that the bees would have to follow an unnecessarily long route when flying between nearest neighbour flowers to collect nectar. They watched the bees as they carried out 80 foraging bouts, and recorded which flowers they visited and in which order. Writing in the journal Biology Letters, Dr Mathieu Lihoreau and colleagues report how, over 640 flower visits, the bees significantly reduced their flight distances as they learned the position of each flower within the array. Surprisingly, the bees almost never followed a nearest-neighbour strategy (in which the bee would fly to the nearest unvisited flower until all flowers are visited). Instead they prioritised following the shortest possible route by learning and memorising individual flower locations. The team's findings suggest that bees are able to solve complex routing problems by learning, without needing a sophisticated cognitive representation of space. Dr Lihoreau explained: "Despite having tiny brains, bees effectively used gradual optimisation (comparing several different routes), to solve this famously complex routing problem which still baffles mathematicians 80 years after it was first posed."

Norman Winter MSU
Horticulturist The
cold-tolerant perennial Texas Star
hibiscus looks equally at home in a
tropical or cottage garden and produces
some of the tallest plants for the flower
border. The scarlet, star-shaped flowers
are a favorite of the ruby-throated
hummingbird. This
cold-tolerant perennial is hardy from zones 5 through 10 and
produces some of the tallest plants for the flower border.
Scarlet, star-shaped flowers are produced in abundance to
the delight of the ruby-throated hummingbird. The foliage is
a striking glossy-green and maple-like. In
the landscape, create an exotic look with large banana
plants growing behind one of these shrubs, or plant a yellow
bush-form allamanda in front. Combine them with cannas and
elephant ears. Place them to the back of the border to hide
their giraffe leg-like stalks. Though
considered a plant for all soils, requirements for the Texas
Star hibiscus are much like those of other
perennials. Plant
in well-drained, well-prepared beds and use a good layer of
mulch to keep the soil evenly moist through the season. This
hibiscus is found growing naturally in sandy, moist, acidic
soils in Georgia and Florida. Plants can easily reach 6 feet
in height and width, so space on 3-foot centers. Choose
a site with plenty of sunlight. Morning sun and filtered
afternoon light are just about perfect in our state.
Hibiscus blooms on new growth, so it is important to keep it
growing vigorously throughout the season. Keep them well fed
and watered during periods of drought. Many
gardeners think the prolific flower production of a hibiscus
requires a lot of super-bloom-type fertilizers high in
phosphorous, but this is not the case. Hibiscus prefers a
balanced fertilizer given out in small, monthly
applications. Water
daily if you are growing hibiscus, or any other plant, in
containers during the summer. Nutrients quickly leach from
the soil, so apply a diluted, water-soluble fertilizer
weekly or add time-released granules per label
recommendation. Periodically,
we get calls from gardeners who get aphids. Before using an
insecticide, make sure yours is labeled for hibiscus. If
possible, simply pick the aphids off hibiscus buds. A little
extra patience on your part may bring on ladybugs at just
the right time to do your aphid control
naturally. If
you are treating hibiscus, roses or any other plant with an
insecticide during the summer, water them well a couple of
hours before the insecticide application. After
the Texas Star plants have frozen in the fall, cut them back
to ground level and add a little extra mulch. I always go
for nursery-grown plants, but many gardeners ask if these
can be grown from seed, and indeed they can. It does help to
lightly scrape with sandpaper for easier germination.
am passionate about the tropical hibiscus and wish gardeners
everywhere could see the new varieties that will be coming
out in the near future. For now, it is exciting when a
perennial like the Texas Star makes our yards look like
Jamaica. -30- Released:

Texas Star shines in
tropical, cottage gardens
Central Mississippi Research & Extension
Not too
many plants can look equally at home in a tropical garden
and an old-fashioned cottage garden, but such is the virtue
of the Texas Star hibiscus. This hibiscus, known botanically
as Hibiscus coccineus, also is known by less enticing names
like swamp mallow or scarlet mallow.

The economic well being of a country and the quality of life of its people depends on the quality of its skilled and technical manpower. Planning technical education in India should take into consideration the lack of resources, non-availability of quality training manpower, an industry based on imported technologies and products, all pervasive bureaucracy, social aspirations, etc. In this paper all related factors that lead to the present situation in technical education in the country are explored and a few suggestions that are implementable are given.

Salem Planning Commission Rejects Zoning Change For Baseball Training Facility
The Salem Planning Commission has rejected a request for rezoning just over three acres of land at the intersection of South College and West Lake from residential to general commercial.Larry Rubin of Andrews Court in Salem had sought the change to develop a youth baseball training facility in a 40 by 80 foot building he planned to build on the property.
The 'no' vote came after the commission received a petition signed by ten neighbors and heard testimony from three of them who were all against the rezoning. The neighboring property owners cited concerns about increased traffic and noise, and safety for children walking to the facility because of a lack of sidewalks.
Rubin feels they have a great business plan and are anxious to move forward, but isn't sure how they will proceed. Rubin could ask the Salem City Council to overrule the planning commission on the rezoning request or look for another property.

A bulletin issued by the transit authority asks train crews to mention the "Top of the Rock" observatory when pulling into the Rockefeller Center Station, The New York Daily News reports.
While some riders don't notice the pitch, others think the news plugs could be a good way to generate extra money to pay for system maintenance or upgrades.
But a transportation authority spokesman says the plugs are being provided free of charge as a courtesy to riders.
The "Top of the Rock" observatory offers views 850 feet above street level at a charge of $17.50 for adults and $11.25 for children.
MTA spokesman Tom Kelly says it's not uncommon for conductors to point out major attractions such as the Museum of Natural History or Madison Square Garden.
