Luke Bryan Wins Nine American Country Awards; Ronnie Fauss Releases Free Christmas MP3; New Album Releases
- Luke Bryan took home nine trophies at last night's American Country Awards. The full list of winners can be found here.
- Buddy Miller and Jim Lauderdale were featured on The Los Angeles Times music blog "Pop & Hiss." Here's an excerpt in which Miller discusses harmony singing: "I'm not a big fan of most three-part harmony," he said. "That third part bugs me. It kills the mystery. It's usually too sweet, and most of the freedom in the singing is gone in order to please 'the harmony god.' Guy-girl duets can get too sappy and melodramatic. Two guys have some meat, when you sing you can dig in and mean it. And two guys singing are not polite."
- Lyle Lovett played an NPR Tiny Desk Concert.
- Jean Ritchie celebrated her 90th birthday over the weekend.
- Corb Lund appeared on WNYC's Soundcheck. Listen here.
- Red Dirt singer-songwriter Tom Skinner was featured in American Songwriter.
- Chris Willman reviews Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's Vegas show: The new Tim McGraw and Faith Hill show in Las Vegas gets underway with a fairly riotous joke before the headliners even make their entrance. As the lights dim inside the Venetian Theatre, the sound system blasts "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way," Waylon Jennings' gently lacerating 1975 hit decrying the glitz-ification of country. The implicit gag is that both Hank Sr. and Waylon would keel over again if they could see just what sort of extravaganzas are being done in country's name in Sin City 2012. If nothing else, you've got to award Tim and Faith points for a sense of ironic self-commentary. But there is plenty more to give them credit for and, whether or not Hank Williams would have done it this exact way, he might have as good a time as anybody watching a 90-minute show that's tightly choreographed yet offers at least the illusion of voyeurism when it comes to country music's first couple.
- Jennifer Justus reviewed Shania Twain's Vegas act.
- UNC's Digital Southern Folklife Collection has added some new material, including this June Carter photo and autograph. The whole archive is pretty fun to prowl through if you've got some time on your hands.

- Jason Aldean's Night Train has gone platinum. Taylor Swift's Red has now been certified triple platinum, and three Toby Keith singles, including "Should've Been a Cowboy," went gold.
- Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is in its ninth straight week atop the Billboard Country Songs chart. Writes Sarah Skates for MusicRow.com, This sets a record for the most weeks at No. 1 on that chart by a female solo artist, surpassing Connie Smith's eight-week run with "Once A Day" in 1964. "Never Ever" has sold more than 2.6 million downloads in the U.S.
- Grammy-nominated, kid-oriented bluegrass band The Okee Dokee Brothers were featured on The Huffington Post.
- Jon Weisberger launched a monthly column at The Bluegrass Situation.
- On February 12, Omnivore Recordings will release the following compilations: Wanda Jackson, The Best of the Classic Capitol Singles; George Jones, The Complete United Artist Solo Singles; Merle Haggard, The Complete '60s Capitol Singles.

Gotta love revisionist history.
Revisionist how?
That Buddy Miller quote about harmony singing is interesting but I'm glad he added the qualifier "most." I don't think of the McCrary Sisters' harmony vocals on their record he produced as "too sweet" and as for the comparison between male and female duets, I can't think of any duets that have more "meat" than the ones by Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard.
Connie Smith did not have the luxury of streaming, iTunes downloads, and the Billboard Hot 100 chart as part of the formula to determine a #1 song on the Billboard Country Song chart.
MH, that's not "revisionist history," that's merely the latest in an ongoing string of changes in chart methodology that was already old by the time Ms. Smith debuted. Ms. Smith's accomplishment wasn't directly comparable to earlier ones, either, so where's the beef?
And, by the way, as much as I respect Buddy Miller, I think he's all wet about harmony. He needs to listen to more bluegrass – there's a million great trios therein.
I take it Buddy Miller is not a fan of Barbershop Quartet music either. That 4th part must really drive him buggy… In the mid-1950's SUN label's The Miller Sisters (actually sisters in law) had fantastic female two part harmony singing. If only they had been allowed by their "manager" (the brother of one gal and husband to the other) to be managed by Col. Tom Parker when he made the offer at an Elvis concert in 1955. Oh well…
Jon W. with a column at the Bluegrass Situation! Crikey, not even Los Angeles is safe from that guy! (lol) Speaking of the sage of Engine145 (or is it gadfly? Hmmm), Jon will be doing a solo performance on the February 6th Bluegrass Edition of Music City Roots. I kind of wish I could be there in the audience…(to boo at Jon that is) (lol)

Asher Roth ft. Curren$y - Dude
Artist: Asher Roth
Featuring: Curren$y
Producer: Blended Babies
Album: Retrohash
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 11 votes )
As any Catholics in the house already know (and lapsed Catholics like me just remembered), yesterday was Ash Wednesday. And what would a religious day of mourning and repentance be without a new jam from Asher Roth? Before heading abroad for his upcoming European tour dates, the Pittsburgh emcee celebrated the occasion by releasing Dude, the latest installment in his on-again, off-again online series named after the holiday. Fueled by the low-key sample work of Blended Babies, this cut features Roth on his "average Joe" sh*t, rhyming about such simple pleasures as enjoying a cold one on the front porch. Guest rhymesayer Curren$y engages in some international pimpin' in his more rarefied closing contribution. Feeling it? Roth doesn't currently have any forthcoming projects on the agenda, but fans can watch our front page for further singles in the sporadically-updated Ash Wednesday Series.

Videocon case against three Ugandan citizens quashed
The right to life and liberty, enshrined under Article 21 of the Constitution, is available even to foreign nationals, the Supreme Court observed on Wednesday and quashed an FIR registered by the Maharashtra government against three Ugandan citizens, including an Advisor to the President of Uganda.
A vacation Bench of Justices A.K. Patnaik and Ranjan Gogoi slammed the State government for filing a criminal case of cheating based on a complaint given by Videocon.
The Bench said the action of the Mumbai police in registering the FIR had brought bad name to India. It directed the police to release their passports immediately.
"Article 21 of the Constitution [right to life and liberty] applies to all citizens, whether Indian or foreign nationals. Their right to liberty could not be restrained by the police due to a business dispute. Our country gets a bad name because of acts of a few police officers and it is unfortunate that the Mumbai police, instead of protecting the rights of these foreign nationals, filed an FIR against them and the charges are baseless."
The Bench said no offence had been made out against them.
Extortion charge
Isacc Isanga Musumba, lawyer and senior Advisor to the President of Uganda (equivalent to the post of a Minister); Mawanda Michael Maranga, Member of Parliament; and Magoola Mathias, a businessman, were charged with extortion by the police on a complaint by Videocon officials and their passports were impounded. Counsel for the petitioners told the court that they came to India in April to settle a business dispute with Videocon.
Stopped from leaving
In their petition, they submitted that from April 19 they were restrained by the police from leaving the country without a formal order of arrest. The lookout notice issued against them was a colourable exercise of police powers smeared with malice, ill will and was grossly spiteful, prejudicing thereby their fundamental rights.
]They said the high handed and illegal restraints put up by the police on them required to be looked into seriously in the context of friendly relations between two countries.
Keywords: Right to life and liberty, Constitution Article 21, foreign nationals, Supreme Court, Videocon case, Ugandan nationals arrest

For the past 3 or 4 months, every month, things are strange.
I have PMS, I have some spotting (heavy enough to use something) then NOTHING. 2 days later I get my period doe real. Any ideas what would be cause this as an ongoing thing? I didn't think anything of it at first but now that it keeps happening I am wondering if it is something to worry about.
Any help is appreciated! TIA!

Only with Your Love (Mass Market Paperbound)
Celia Vallerand fears for her life as she stares into the deep, arresting eyes of the dashing man who purchased her from the brigands who had abducted her. But it soon becomes clear that it's her virtue, not her life, that's in danger. The rugged, powerful renegade known only as "Griffin" arouses desires in Celia as dangerous as they are forbidden. And though she knows she must resist him, she fears she may be unable to do so.
But the magnificent adventurer is a man trapped in a perilous deception. And the shocking secrets he guards could deny him the love of the fair captive lady who has enslaved his reckless heart.

Wal-Mart ends relationship with Paula Deen
NEW YORK (AP) - Paula Deen lost another chunk of her empire on Wednesday.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced that it has ended its relationship with the Southern celebrity chef, part of the continuing fallout in the wake of revelations that she used racial slurs in the past. The world's largest retailer, based in Bentonville, Ark., currently carries a variety of products under her moniker, including food items, cookware and health and wellness products, at all of its 4,000 U.S. namesake stores. The retailer began selling her merchandise several years ago.
"We will not place new orders beyond those already committed," said Dave Tovar, a Wal-Mart spokesman. "We will work with suppliers to address existing inventories and agreements."
Tovar said the retailer is still working through the details with suppliers.
The severed ties with Wal-Mart are the latest blow to Deen's business. Meanwhile, Paula Deen's name is being stripped from four buffet restaurants owned by Caesars. Caesars said Wednesday that its decision to rebrand its restaurants in Joliet, Ill.; Tunica, Miss.; Cherokee, N.C.; and Elizabether, Ind., was a mutual one with Deen.
Last week, the Food Network said that it would not renew the celebrity cook's contract. And on Monday, Smithfield Foods said it was dropping her as a spokeswoman. Smithfield sold Paula Deen-branded hams in addition to featuring her as a spokeswoman.
Meanwhile, the celebrity chef's representatives distributed nine letters supporting Deen from other companies that work with her, as she fights to keep her business empire from crumbling.
Target Corp., which carries Paula Deen-branded products, reiterated Wednesday it was "evaluating the situation."
Deen appeared in a "Today" show interview earlier Wednesday, dissolving into tears and saying that anyone in the audience who's never said anything they've regretted should pick up a rock and throw it at her head.
The chef, who specializes in Southern comfort food, repeated that she's not a racist.

Effect of gold alloying on stability of silver nanoparticles and control of silver ion release from vapor-deposited Ag–Au/polytetrafluoroethylene nanocomposites

In the present study, nanocomposites containing Ag–Au alloy nanoparticle ensembles with various compositions on polytetrafluoroethylene were prepared by physical vapor deposition. After a certain time of immersion of the samples in water, oxidation and dissolution of the Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) occurred, and changes in the morphology, optical properties and composition of the nanocomposites were examined using transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The composition-dependence and the time-dependence of the silver ion release were studied, and the concentration of the silver ions in water was detected using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The results indicate that with increasing gold fraction in the Au–Ag alloy nanoparticles, a strong improvement of the oxidation resistance of the AgNPs occurs. The dissolution of Ag is rapid at the first contact of the sample with water until a saturation state is reached. XPS synchrotron measurements with different excitation energies show that the depletion of Ag from the nanoparticles does not lead to the formation of a Au-rich shell and that the atomic mobility is high enough in the small nanoparticles of about 5 nm average size to equilibrate any concentration gradient.

Crosby, Stills & Nash: Crosby, Stills & Nash
When I think about this album cover I imagine that the three blokes sitting there are the sleaziest looking buggers around, but now, upon seeing it again up close, I realise that, though, they'd never have become Top Models they're not so bad after all.
They do, nonetheless, epitomise the hippie in all his many grotty guises. The inside photo does them no favours:
What is striking and most impressive about this cover – from Harry Diltz – is that within the confines of their combined poses we are able to, approximately, ascertain all we need to know about David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash.
Forget about the weatherboard house and the dilapidated couch – they're nothing but props. You might be right in saying that the poses themselves are, well, posed, and, thus, not real; but irrespective of the photographer or painter's cleverness the 'real' person can never be completely suppressed. Make sense? (I'm not making this up, just read Henry James' short story "The Real Thing".) What we see when looking at these three coke-heads is not three pals passing the time, but three millionaires in the midst of a cultural revolution, of which they are at the forefront and, yes, are most willing to take advantage of said revolution.
Too much information?
Right, all you need do is glance at Stephen Stills's eyes – he's the bloke in the middle – to get a sense of him. Look at him impatiently staring off to the side. Look at his jaw, a little clenched maybe? And the crossed leg, he's the one who's protecting himself from the situation, resenting being so close to his 'pals'. (If you've heard even a few CS&N stories you'll know they could barely stand being in the same room as one another.)
And Crosby with his fucked up mo', freaking us all out, almost forty years later. Look at him slouching to the side (just) a little, like an annoying drunk who won't stop pissing in your ear. See the lazy eyelids and the tiny pinprick pupils, squinty bastard! You wouldn't trust him with your mother, let alone your daughter.
There's Nash set apart – higher – than his band-mates, trying to project something akin to seriousness when, in fact, the man is as dumb as a sack of hammers. He had ladies and drugs and cash on his mind. My God, he sounds like 50 Cent!
And this is the idea that I like most about this cover art/photography: what it can tell us about the music we are about to hear and the people responsible for it. Often the cover tells us nothing, and this cover is misleading, in that it does not suggest harmony, when in actuality, the ten songs on the album are nothing if not recordings of perfect harmonies. Nonetheless we do learn that, though the music is all but flawless, we shouldn't necessarily trust these hippies and all their love-one-another carry on.

-yeh nash is a bit like the king of thailand sittin up there a foot higher than everyone else… are you calling graham nash a P.I.M.P ?…
Is that Neil Young in the doorway window on the back cover?
No, that's drummer Dallas Taylor, who, according to his book PRISONER OF WOODSTOCK, was later superimposed into the shot, then, years later, removed!
How irresponisble. You purport to retroactively villify these guys for acts they would commit years later than the moment that this image captures. Before this first record made them famous and earned them money, do you really think they could *afford* cocaine? Instead you pre-suppose that they are "but three millionaires in the midst of a cultural revolution." Do your homework. At least you recognize that the music is outstanding.
Get a life idiot. It's an album cover.
Why bother defending a bunch of morons. Talent or no talent, they were, are and always will be idiots who made a couple of great records. If you disagree with me and don't think I've done enough homework find another site to express your outrage, or better yet start your own.
Graham Nash – The Hollies
Stephen Stills – Buffalo Springfield
David Crosby – The Byrds
These three guys had already had megahit songs and albums to their names by this point and whether they had pissed away the money or not, they were still leading the RnR millionaire lifestyle by this point. And yes, they could afford coke, all they wanted in 1969.
(maybe they pissed away only half their money. The other half they spent on booze, drugs, fast cars and faster women!)
I have to say I laughed out loud at your critique of this cover! Very good! :-)
While I don't necessarily agree with all you said, I can certainly see how one could interpret it the way you have. And what's more, there's more than a grain of truth in what you write.
CSN = wankers!
Roy must be living in dreamland. Those "dudes" were coked to the gills when they made this album…

Rachel Klemek starts this particular Thursday a half-hour late, at 6 a.m., knuckle-deep in milk, yeast, flour, sugar, salt and soft butter.
Minutes later, Klemek, owner of Blackmarket Bakery in Irvine, switches her attention from croissant dough to one of the biggest challenges of her 60-hour workweek — a birthday cake that looks like a Chinese mahjong game.
The mother of four sweats every detail. On this cake, details include frosting that resembles no fewer than 16 Chinese mahjong tiles and side frosting that looks like a wooden fence. Another detail is the phrase "Happy Birthday," written in neat and, she hopes, correctly spelled Chinese.
"I think it would be better if we got someone who knows Chinese to write the characters," Klemek, 39, tells her secretary.
Klemek considers herself a baker, first.
But artist — or, at least, artistically inclined, iconoclastic baker — comes a close second.
In the five years since she started Blackmarket as what she describes as "an underground" bakery, in an industrial park near John Wayne Airport, she's dazzled clients with creations that include huge dollops of personality — a chocolate on chocolate on chocolate cake called "Total Eclipse;" a tiny pool table tableau known as "The Billiard Cake;" a chocolate-vanilla concoction named "John Doe."
If Batman baked bread, he'd probably work in a kitchen like this.
Stand at Blackmarket's front door and you'll see a pirate-themed T-shirt hanging from a pole in the middle of the room, though, in this case, the typical pirate skull has been swapped out for a photo of a cake. The walls are lined with cookies, chocolate bars, tarts, puddings and all manner of baked good, each item packaged and emblazoned with an ingredients-listing sticker.
Much of the lighting in the shop comes from bulbs placed in fixtures that look like UFO-shaped cakes, situated so they appear to be flying through the room. And, if you glance up at the ceiling, you'll see a flag (again with a pirate theme), and on the flag you'll read Klemek's motto:
"Flavor will prevail."
She hopes she's right.
In recent months, Klemek has expanded her wholesale business, adding workers and building into a space next to her original location. She's doing this - in the teeth of the most severe recession of many lifetimes - with a faith that straight-laced, retail grocery chains will be hungry (literally) for mass quantities of her non-traditional, spectacularly detailed baked goods.
Eventually, Klemek plans to work more on packaging, marketing and product development.

The Shimano 105 BB-5500 bottom bracket is a hard-to-find 109.5mm Octalink bottom bracket. The pipe-billet spindle has 9mm deep splines and only fits older Shimano cranks - mostly of the 9 speed variety. The BB comes in two pieces - the drive side cup and then the rest of the bottom bracket. Thread the BB into place and then secure the drive side cup and your good to go - no further adjustment is required.
This is the only Octalink bottom bracket available, so if you need one to service an older drivetrain, it is your only option.

My greatest contribution to my students is my love of teaching and the positive results that it produces. I try to inspire each and every one of my students by binging out the good in everyone of them, said Perry.
It is not surprising that Perry was also honored with the Wal-Mart Teacher of the Year Award several years ago while teaching at the Assumption of Mary.
Perry is currently involved in the lengthy process of applying for state teacher of the year honors to receive $10,000 of grant money for her school. All state winners are automatically entered into the national competition which grants an additional $25,000 to the winner's school. It has already been decided that the grant she won for the school last month will be used to develop a recognition program as part of the buildings PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention Supports) initiative.
Wal-Mart began the teacher of the year program in 1995. They are among the largest corporate supporters of education, donating more than $57 million in support of educational initiatives last year alone.

Madison — R.J. Julia Booksellers took orders for hundreds of copies of Hillary Clinton's "Hard Choices" Wednesday morning, setting the stage for the potential Democratic presidential candidate's upcoming book-signing at the store, a shoreline institution.
Clinton's July 19 appearance is billed as a strictly non-speaking engagement.
"I hope she runs for president," said Vitty O'Toole, a Madison woman waiting in line for the store's 10 a.m. opening. "She has the power and the experience."
Bookstore staff began taking phone orders at 8 a.m. By 10, scores of people, most of them women, had queued up on the sidewalk outside, hoping to reserve copies of the former first lady's chronicle of her years as U.S. secretary of state.
A reservation for the book-signing, which will include a copy of Clinton's book at the time of the signing, went for $35, plus tax.
Late in the day, Lori Fazio, R.J. Julia's general manager, said the store's six phones had not stopped ringing.
"I expect we'll sell out by the time we close tonight (at 8)," she said. "If not, we'll sell them tomorrow."
Fazio said she could not say how many copies of Clinton's book had been sold or what the store's capacity would be for the book-signing, citing heightened security surrounding the event. A Secret Service detail will be assigned to protect Clinton.
While some consideration had been given to having the book-signing at a larger venue, Clinton's schedule dictated otherwise, Fazio said.
"The option would have been to have it off-site and have her speak, but it depended on her schedule," she said. "What worked best was a straight signing in the store."
An East Lyme woman who declined to give her name said she learned of Clinton's upcoming appearance early Wednesday morning, decided not to bother trying to reach the store by phone and drove directly to R.J. Julia's downtown Madison location.
"I'm a supporter of Hillary — and a collector of signed books," she said.
Rob Hammel of Killingworth, one of the few men in line, arrived outside the store at 9:30, when there was only a smattering of people. He said he faced a far greater wait when Mariano Rivera, the retired Yankees relief pitcher, signed copies of "The Closer: My Story" at R.J. Julia in May.
Nor would the line for Clinton's appearance rival the one occasioned years ago by Don Imus. The radio "shock jock" drew thousands to the store, where he signed books for half the day.
Hammel said he was "a fan" of Hillary and expects her to run for president.
O'Toole, the Madison woman, who noted she shares Clinton's alma mater (Wellesley), said the former first lady is just what's needed in the nation's capital.
"I lived in Washington for years when my husband was a reporter for The (Washington) Post, so I know what a mess it is down there," said O'Toole, who described herself as an "independent Democrat."
"This was always a pretty solid Republican town," she said, "so I generally kept my mouth shut when the talk turned to politics."

"Kristeva offers a challenge for psychoanalaysis to open itself up again: to break down from its position of the one who is presumed to know." -- "International Journal of Psycho-Analysis"
Back cover copy
"These days, who still has a soul?" asks Julia Kristeva in her latest psychoanalytic exploration, New Maladies of the Soul. Drawing on her fifteen years of experience as a practicing psychoanalyst, Kristeva reveals to readers a new kind of patient, symptomatic of an age of political upheaval, mass mediated culture, and the dramatic overhaul of familial and sexual mores. New Maladies of the Soul poses a troubling question about the human subject in the West today: Is the psychic space that we have traditionally known disappearing? Kristeva finds that the psychoanalytic models of Freud and Lacan need to be reread in light of this new patient, a product of the contemporary moral crisis of values resulting from a loss of ideology and a deterioration of belief. By revisiting Freud and Lacan, Kristeva offers the hope of a new psychoanalysis. Each patient, she contends, suffers from a unique malady which must be targeted. In the first half of New Maladies of the Soul, Kristeva offers a series of detailed and fascinating case studies that reinforce her provocative theoretical notions. These case studies illustrate today's "new maladies" - common psychiatric disturbances such as hysteria, obsessional neurosis, and perversion - as they are manifested in today's patient. Drawing on the work of psychologist Helene Deutsch and the writer Germaine de Stael. Kristeva turns her attention in the second half of New Maladies of the Soul to women's experience and contributions within the broader context of contemporary history. Delving into art, literature, autobiography, and theories of language, she continues with an exploration of cultural products ranging from the Bible to the work of Leonardo daVinci. Julia Kristeva offers the hope that these maladies harbor new creative potential, and new hope for the soul - if we can comprehend their effect on the individual and collective experiences of our time.

Seat Filler: The Advocate's Guide to New York Theater
BY Brandon Voss
December 22 2011 5:00 AM ET
Bonnie & Clyde
Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan sparkle and smolder as Depression-era outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in a paint-by-numbers musical that also stars hunky out actor Claybourne Elder as Clyde's brother. The show ultimately whimpers despite lots of fake-bloody bangs — Clyde bludgeons a fellow prisoner who made him his bitch — and a rockabilly- and blues-influenced score that's Frank Wildhorn's best since Jekyll & Hyde.
Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, through December 30.
Teresa Rebeck's smart and satisfying comedy stars the effortlessly commanding Alan Rickman — best known as Snape in the Harry Potter films — as a slimy author teaching a private seminar for young writers. Jerry O'Connell makes a solid Broadway debut as a pretentious prep, and American Horror Story's Lily Rabe steals scenes as a rich girl taken seriously only when she pretends her work is by "a cross-dressing Cubano gang member."
John Golden Theatre, open-ended.

Fig Wasp Fossil Proves That If It Works, Don't Change It
The world's oldest known example of a fig wasp has been found on the Isle of Wight. The fossil wasp is almost identical to the modern species, proving that this tiny but specialized insect has remained virtually unchanged for over 34 million years.
The fossil isn't a new find but was wrongly identified as an ant when it was first discovered in the 1920s. Fig wasp expert at the University of Leeds, Dr Steve Compton, was called in to study the fossil when the late Dr Mikhail Kozlov spotted the mistake during research at the Natural History Museum, London into the flora and fauna of the Isle of Wight. The findings of Dr Compton and the team are published today in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters.
"There were three very well-preserved specimens and we were able to use modern techniques to look at them in detail," says Dr Compton. "What makes this fossil fascinating is not just its age, but that it is so similar to the modern species. This means that the complex relationship that exists today between the fig wasps and their host trees developed more than 34 million years ago and has remained unchanged since then."
Fig wasps and fig trees are mutually dependent, with each of the 800 or so modern species of tree pollinated by just one or two species of fig wasp that ignore other fig trees. The wasps "" which measure just 1.5mm in length "" have developed a particular body shape and features to enable them to crawl into figs to reach the flowers there.
Using state of the art microscopy facilities at the Museum, Dr Compton's team compared the fossils with modern fig wasps and with an example in Dominican amber dated to 20 million years, which he had bought over the internet and has since donated to the Museum. Their findings show that both fossil insects had the same body shape and features as modern species.
Because fig wasp larvae do better if they feed within a pollinated flower, the most highly developed species of wasps actively pollinate the figs before laying their eggs, rather than passively spreading pollen as they move between trees. The wasps collect pollen in pockets on the underside of their bodies and then take it to another tree, where they pull it out and spread in on the flowers before laying their eggs.
The team found pollen pockets on the underside of the fossil wasp and the wasp in amber and, using scanning electron microscopy, identified grains of fig pollen within the pockets. This proves that active pollination was already achieved over 34 million years ago and has remained unchanged to this day.
The edible figs we eat today are produced on specialized female plants that trick the wasps into entering the figs and strip off their wings, but then prevent them from laying any eggs. As a result, the figs produce only seeds and no wasp offspring. The length of the ovipositor "" the organ the wasp uses to lay its eggs "" of the Isle of White fig wasp shows that its host fig tree had already evolved this method of cheating on its partner.
"We believe from molecular evidence that fig wasps and fig trees have been evolving together for over 60 million years," says Dr Compton. "Now we have fossil confirmation that gets us a bit closer to that date. Although we often think of the world as constantly changing, what this fossil gives us is an example of something remaining unchanged for tens of millions of years "" something which in biology we call 'stasis'."
One of the major changes the fig and its wasp will have had to face "" beyond obvious climatic differences that mean fig trees are no longer native to the Isle of Wight "" is the range of animals that eat the fruit and spread its seeds. Figs are a major source of food in tropical forests and more birds and mammals feed on figs than on any other fruit "" so it's reassuring to know that these plants and their pollinators have responded successfully to previous episodes of climate change.
