A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. Like all Lepidoptera, butterflies are notable for their unusual life cycle with a larval caterpillar stage, an inactive pupal stage, and a spectacular metamorphosis into a familiar and colourful winged adult form. Most species are day-flying so they regularly attract attention. The diverse patterns formed by their brightly coloured wings and their erratic yet graceful flight have made butterfly watching a fairly popular hobby.
Butterflies comprise the true butterflies (superfamily Papilionoidea), the skippers (Superfamily Hesperioidea) and the moth-butterflies (Superfamily Hedyloidea). Butterflies exhibit polymorphism, mimicry and aposematism. Some are known to migrate over large distances. Some butterflies have evolved symbiotic and parasitic relationships with social insects such as ants. Butterflies are important economically as one of the major agents of pollination. In addition, a number of species are pests, because they can damage domestic crops and trees.
Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts and can also flap their wings faster than humans can blink their eyes.
}} }}
|2= }} }} }} }}|3=Hedylidae}} }}| |- | |} Butterflies most likely originated in the Cretaceous when the continents were different with climates unlike those of today. That is when the major angiosperm radiation took place. Evidence is gleaned from paleontology where over 50 butterfly fossils have been identified, from morphology and the study of homologies, from molecular genetics and comparative biochemistry, from comparative ethology, and from present-day geographical distributions and ecology. Researchers who accept a Cretaceous origin for the butterflies generally favor vicariant zoogeographic hypothesis for how the major lineages of butterflies came to be distributed over the world, whereas those who favor a Tertiary age rely on dispersalist hypotheses. Some species in the Satyrinae use ferns as larval host plants, and it is possible that butterflies originated before their present-day angiosperm plant hosts. The modern study of butterfly higher classification began with Ehrlich's phenetic use of hundreds of previously overlooked morphological characters in tabular form, across families and major groups. Scoble (1995) and others continued the search for new characters, but with their application to cladism. Lavral characters are now commonly integrated with those from adult butterflies. The addition of molecular data has allowed researchers to resolve clades in many lineages.
Phylogeny of the group.
Presently butterflies are classified in three superfamilies, Hedyloidea, consisting of the 'American moth-butterflies', Hesperioidea, consisting of the 'skippers' and Papilionoidea or 'true butterflies'. The last two superfamilies are probably sister taxa, so the butterflies collectively are thought to constitute a natural group or clade.
The scope of the term butterfly depends on how far the concept is extended. Currently, most experts include the superfamilies Hedyloidea (the American moth-butterflies), Hesperioidea (the skippers) and Papilionoidea (the so-called 'true' butterflies). This concept of butterflies including the Hedyloidea is a recently expanded one, but it makes the group a natural clade, the Rhopalocera.
Butterfly familiesThe five families of true butterflies usually recognized in the Papilionoidea butterfly
The superfamily Hesperioidea comprises one family only, albeit a large one, the skippers of family Hesperiidae, whereas the superfamily Hedyloidea also consists of a single family Hedylidae with about 40 species.
Some older classifications recognize additional families, for example Danaidae, Heliconiidae, Libytheidae and Satyridae, but modern classifications treat these as subfamilies within the Nymphalidae, at least until that group's relationships have been resolved to satisfaction.
Unlike many insects, butterflies do not experience a nymph period, but instead go through a pupal stage which lies between the larva and the adult stage (the imago). Butterflies are termed as holometabolous insects, and go through complete metamorphosis.
It is a popular belief that butterflies have very short life spans. However, butterflies in their adult stage can live from a week to nearly a year depending on the species. Many species have long larval life stages while others can remain dormant in their pupal or egg stages and thereby survive winters.
Butterflies may have one or more broods per year. The number of generations per year varies from temperate to tropical regions with tropical regions showing a trend towards multivoltinism.
Butterfly eggs consist of a hard-ridged outer layer of shell, called the chorion. This is lined with a thin coating of wax which prevents the egg from drying out before the larva has had time to fully develop. Each egg contains a number of tiny funnel-shaped openings at one end, called micropyles; the purpose of these holes is to allow sperm to enter and fertilize the egg. Butterfly and moth eggs vary greatly in size between species, but they are all either spherical or ovate.
Butterfly eggs are fixed to a leaf with a special glue which hardens rapidly. As it hardens it contracts, deforming the shape of the egg. This glue is easily seen surrounding the base of every egg forming a meniscus. The nature of the glue is unknown and is a suitable subject for research. The same glue is produced by a pupa to secure the setae of the cremaster. This glue is so hard that the silk pad, to which the setae are glued, cannot be separated.
Eggs are usually laid on plants. Each species of butterfly has its own hostplant range and while some species of butterfly are restricted to just one species of plant, others use a range of plant species, often including members of a common family.
The egg stage lasts a few weeks in most butterflies but eggs laid close to winter, especially in temperate regions, go through a diapause stage, and the hatching may take place only in spring. Other butterflies may lay their eggs in the spring and have them hatch in the summer. These butterflies are usually northernly species (Mourning cloak, Tortoiseshells)
Butterfly larvae, or caterpillars, consume plant leaves and spend practically all of their time in search of food. Although most caterpillars are herbivorous, a few species such as Spalgis epius and Liphyra brassolis are entomophagous (insect eating). Some larvae, especially those of the Lycaenidae form mutual associations with ants. They communicate with the ants using vibrations that are transmitted through the substrate as well as using chemical signals. The ants provide some degree of protection to these larvae and they in turn gather honeydew secretions.
Caterpillars mature through a series of stages, called instars. Near the end of each instar, the larva undergoes a process called apolysis, in which the cuticle, a mixture of chitin and specialized proteins, is released from the epidermis and the epidermis begins to form a new cuticle beneath. At the end of each instar, the larva moults the old cuticle, and the new cuticle rapidly hardens and pigments. Development of butterfly wing patterns begins by the last larval instar.
Butterfly caterpillars have three pairs of true legs from the thoracic segments and up to 6 pairs of prolegs arising from the abdominal segments. These prolegs have rings of tiny hooks called crochets that help them grip the substrate.
Some caterpillars have the ability to inflate parts of their head to appear snake-like. Many have false eye-spots to enhance this effect. Some caterpillars have special structures called osmeteria which are everted to produce smelly chemicals. These are used in defense.
Host plants often have toxic substances in them and caterpillars are able to sequester these substances and retain them into the adult stage. This helps making them unpalatable to birds and other predators. Such unpalatibility is advertised using bright red, orange, black or white warning colours. The toxic chemicals in plants are often evolved specifically to prevent them from being eaten by insects. Insects in turn develop countermeasures or make use of these toxins for their own survival. This "arms race" has led to the coevolution of insects and their host plants.
Wings or wing pads are not visible on the outside of the larva, but when larvae are dissected, tiny developing wing disks can be found on the second and third thoracic segments, in place of the spiracles that are apparent on abdominal segments. Wing disks develop in association with a trachea that runs along the base of the wing, and are surrounded by a thin peripodial membrane, which is linked to the outer epidermis of the larva by a tiny duct.
Wing disks are very small until the last larval instar, when they increase dramatically in size, are invaded by branching tracheae from the wing base that precede the formation of the wing veins, and begin to develop patterns associated with several landmarks of the wing.
Near pupation, the wings are forced outside the epidermis under pressure from the hemolymph, and although they are initially quite flexible and fragile, by the time the pupa breaks free of the larval cuticle they have adhered tightly to the outer cuticle of the pupa (in obtect pupae). Within hours, the wings form a cuticle so hard and well-joined to the body that pupae can be picked up and handled without damage to the wings.
When the larva is fully grown, hormones such as prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) are produced. At this point the larva stops feeding and begins "wandering" in the quest of a suitable pupation site, often the underside of a leaf.
The larva transforms into a pupa (or chrysalis) by anchoring itself to a substrate and moulting for the last time. The chrysalis is usually incapable of movement, although some species can rapidly move the abdominal segments or produce sounds to scare potential predators.
The pupal transformation into a butterfly through metamorphosis has held great appeal to mankind. To transform from the miniature wings visible on the outside of the pupa into large structures usable for flight, the pupal wings undergo rapid mitosis and absorb a great deal of nutrients. If one wing is surgically removed early on, the other three will grow to a larger size. In the pupa, the wing forms a structure that becomes compressed from top to bottom and pleated from proximal to distal ends as it grows, so that it can rapidly be unfolded to its full adult size. Several boundaries seen in the adult color pattern are marked by changes in the expression of particular transcription factors in the early pupa.
Butterflies are characterized by their scale-covered wings. The coloration of butterfly wings is created by minute scales. These scales are pigmented with melanins that give them blacks and browns, but blues, greens, reds and iridescence are usually created not by pigments but the microstructure of the scales. This structural coloration is the result of coherent scattering of light by the photonic crystal nature of the scales.
Genetic abnormalities such as gynandromorphy also occur from time to time. In addition many butterflies are infected by Wolbachia and infection by the bacteria can lead to the conversion of males into females or the selective killing of males in the egg stage.
Batesian and Mullerian mimicry in butterflies is common. Batesian mimics imitate other species to enjoy the protection of an attribute they do not share, aposematism in this case. The Common Mormon of India has female morphs which imitate the unpalatable red-bodied swallowtails, the Common Rose and the Crimson Rose. Mullerian mimicry occurs when aposematic species evolve to resemble each other, presumably to reduce predator sampling rates, the Heliconius butterflies from the Americas being a good example.
Wing markings called eyespots are present in some species; these may have an automimicry role for some species. In others, the function may be intraspecies communication, such as mate attraction. In several cases, however, the function of butterfly eyespots is not clear, and may be an evolutionary anomaly related to the relative elasticity of the genes that encode the spots.
Butterflies feed primarily on nectar from flowers. Some also derive nourishment from pollen, tree sap, rotting fruit, dung, and dissolved minerals in wet sand or dirt. Butterflies play an important ecological role as pollinators.
As adults, butterflies consume only liquids and these are sucked by means of their proboscis. They feed on nectar from flowers and also sip water from damp patches. This they do for water, for energy from sugars in nectar and for sodium and other minerals which are vital for their reproduction. Several species of butterflies need more sodium than provided by nectar. They are attracted to sodium in salt and they sometimes land on people, attracted by human sweat. Besides damp patches, some butterflies also visit dung, rotting fruit or carcasses to obtain minerals and nutrients. In many species, this Mud-puddling behaviour is restricted to the males and studies have suggested that the nutrients collected are provided as a nuptial gift along with the spermatophore during mating.
Butterflies sense the air for scents, wind and nectar using their antennae. The antennae come in various shapes and colours. The hesperids have a pointed angle or hook to the antennae, while most other families show knobbed antennae. The antennae are richly covered with sensillae. A butterfly's sense of taste is coordinated by chemoreceptors on the tarsi, which work only on contact, and are used to determine whether an egg-laying insect's offspring will be able to feed on a leaf before eggs are laid on it. Many butterflies use chemical signals, pheromones, and specialized scent scales (androconia) and other structures (coremata or 'Hair pencils' in the Danaidae) are developed in some species.
Vision is well developed in butterflies and most species are sensitive to the ultraviolet spectrum. Many species show sexual dimorphism in the patterns of UV reflective patches. Color vision may be widespread but has been demonstrated in only a few species.
Some butterflies have organs of hearing and some species are also known to make stridulatory and clicking sounds.
Many butterflies, such as the Monarch butterfly, are migratory and capable of long distance flights. They migrate during the day and use the sun to orient themselves. They also perceive polarized light and use it for orientation when the sun is hidden.
Many species of butterfly maintain territories and actively chase other species or individuals that may stray into them. Some species will bask or perch on chosen perches. The flight styles of butterflies are often characteristic and some species have courtship flight displays. Basking is an activity which is more common in the cooler hours of the morning. Many species will orient themselves to gather heat from the sun. Some species have evolved dark wingbases to help in gathering more heat and this is especially evident in alpine forms.
Butterflies have been shown to navigate using time compensated sun compasses. They can see polarized light and therefore orient even in cloudy conditions. The polarized light in the region close to the ultraviolet spectrum is suggested to be particular important.
It is suggested that most migratory butterflies are those that belong to semi-arid areas where breeding seasons are short. The life-histories of their host plants also influence the strategies of the butterflies.
Chemical defenses are widespread and are mostly based on chemicals of plant origin. In many cases the plants themselves evolved these toxic substances as protection against herbivores. Butterflies have evolved mechanisms to sequester these plant toxins and use them instead in their own defense. These defense mechanisms are effective only if they are also well advertised and this has led to the evolution of bright colours in unpalatable butterflies. This signal may be mimicked by other butterflies. These mimetic forms are usually restricted to the females.
Cryptic coloration is found in many butterflies. Some like the oakleaf butterfly are remarkable imitations of leaves. As caterpillars, many defend themselves by freezing and appearing like sticks or branches. Some papilionid caterpillars resemble bird dropping in their early instars. Some caterpillars have hairs and bristly structures that provide protection while others are gregarious and form dense aggregations. Some species also form associations with ants and gain their protection (See Myrmecophile).
Behavioural defenses include perching and wing positions to avoid being conspicuous. Some female Nymphalid butterflies are known to guard their eggs from parasitoid wasps.
Eyespots and tails are found in many lycaenid butterflies and these divert the attention of predators from the more vital head region. An alternative theory is that these cause ambush predators such as spiders to approach from the wrong end and allow for early visual detection.
There are between 15,000 and 20,000 species of butterflies worldwide. Some well known species from around the world include:
The Russian word for "butterfly", бабочка (bábochka), also means "bow tie". It is a diminutive of "baba" or "babka" (= "woman, grandmother, cake", whence also "babushka" = "grandmother".
The Ancient Greek word for "butterfly" is ψύχη (psȳchē), which primarily means "soul", "mind".
According to Mircea Eliade's Encyclopedia of Religion, some of the Nagas of Manipur trace their ancestry from a butterfly.
In Chinese culture two butterflies flying together are a symbol of love. Also a famous Chinese folk story called Butterfly Lovers. The Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi once had a dream of being a butterfly flying without care about humanity, however when he woke up and realised it was just a dream, he thought to himself "Was I before a man who dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I now a butterfly who dreams about being a man?"
In some old cultures, butterflies also symbolize rebirth into a new life after being inside a cocoon for a period of time.
Some people say that when a butterfly lands on you it means good luck.
However, in Devonshire, people would traditionally rush around to kill the first butterfly of the year that they see, or else face a year of bad luck.
The idiom "butterflies in the stomach" is used to describe a state of nervousness.
The structural coloration of butterflies is inspiring nanotechnology research to produce paints that do not use toxic pigments and in the development of new display technologies.

A cache has proven to be extremely effective in many areas of computing because access patterns in typical computer applications have locality of reference. There are several kinds of locality, but this article primarily deals with data that are accessed close together in time (temporal locality). The data might or might not be located physically close to each other (spatial locality).
A cache is a block of memory for temporary storage of data likely to be used again. The CPU and hard drive frequently use a cache, as do web browsers and web servers.
A cache is made up of a pool of entries. Each entry has a datum (a nugget of data) which is a copy of the datum in some backing store. Each entry also has a tag, which specifies the identity of the datum in the backing store of which the entry is a copy.
When the cache client (a CPU, web browser, operating system) wishes to access a datum presumably in the backing store, it first checks the cache. If an entry can be found with a tag matching that of the desired datum, the datum in the entry is used instead. This situation is known as a cache hit. So, for example, a web browser program might check its local cache on disk to see if it has a local copy of the contents of a web page at a particular URL. In this example, the URL is the tag, and the contents of the web page is the datum. The percentage of accesses that result in cache hits is known as the hit rate or hit ratio of the cache.
The alternative situation, when the cache is consulted and found not to contain a datum with the desired tag, is known as a cache miss. The previously uncached datum fetched from the backing store during miss handling is usually copied into the cache, ready for the next access.
During a cache miss, the CPU usually ejects some other entry in order to make room for the previously uncached datum. The heuristic used to select the entry to eject is known as the replacement policy. One popular replacement policy, least recently used (LRU), replaces the least recently used entry (see cache algorithms). More efficient caches compute use frequency against the size of the stored contents, as well as the latencies and throughputs for both the cache and the backing store. While this works well for larger amounts of data, long latencies, and slow throughputs, such as experienced with a hard drive and the Internet, it's not efficient to use this for cached main memory (RAM).
When a datum is written to the cache, it must at some point be written to the backing store as well. The timing of this write is controlled by what is known as the write policy.
In a write-through cache, every write to the cache causes a synchronous write to the backing store.
Alternatively, in a write-back (or write-behind) cache, writes are not immediately mirrored to the store. Instead, the cache tracks which of its locations have been written over (these locations are marked dirty). The data in these locations is written back to the backing store when those data are evicted from the cache, an effect referred to as a lazy write. For this reason, a miss in a write-back cache (which requires a block to be replaced by another) will often require two memory accesses to service: one to retrieve the needed datum, and one to write replaced data from the cache to the store.
Data write-back may be triggered by other policies as well. The client may make many changes to a datum in the cache, and then explicitly notify the cache to write back the datum.
No-write allocation is a cache policy where only processor reads are cached, thus avoiding the need for write-back or write-through when the old value of the datum was absent from the cache prior to the write.
The data in the backing store may be changed by entities other than the cache, in which case the copy in the cache may become out-of-date or stale. Alternatively, when the client updates the data in the cache, copies of that data in other caches will become stale. Communication protocols between the cache managers which keep the data consistent are known as coherency protocols.
Small memories on or close to the CPU chip can be made faster than the much larger main memory. Most CPUs since the 1980s have used one or more caches, and modern general-purpose CPUs inside personal computers may have as many as half a dozen, each specialized to a different part of the task of executing programs.
While CPU caches are generally managed entirely by hardware, other caches are managed by a variety of software. The page cache in main memory, which is an example of disk cache, is usually managed by the operating system kernel.
While the hard drive's hardware disk buffer is sometimes misleadingly referred to as "disk cache", its main functions are write sequencing and read prefetching. Repeated cache hits are relatively rare, due to the small size of the buffer in comparison to HDD's capacity.
In turn, fast local hard disk can be used to cache information held on even slower data storage devices, such as remote servers (web cache) or local tape drives or optical jukeboxes. Such a scheme is the main concept of hierarchical storage management.
Write-through operation is common when operating over unreliable networks (like an Ethernet LAN), because of the enormous complexity of the coherency protocol required between multiple write-back caches when communication is unreliable. For instance, web page caches and client-side network file system caches (like those in NFS or SMB) are typically read-only or write-through specifically to keep the network protocol simple and reliable.
A cache of recently visited web pages can be managed by your web browser. Some browsers are configured to use an external proxy web cache, a server program through which all web requests are routed so that it can cache frequently accessed pages for everyone in an organization. Many internet service providers use proxy caches to save bandwidth on frequently-accessed web pages.
Search engines also frequently make web pages they have indexed available from their cache. For example, Google provides a "Cached" link next to each search result. This is useful when web pages are temporarily inaccessible from a web server.
Another type of caching is storing computed results that will likely be needed again, or memoization. An example of this type of caching is ccache, a program that caches the output of the compilation to speed up the second-time compilation.
Database caching can substantially improve the throughput of database applications, for example in the processing of indexes, data dictionaries, and frequently used subsets of data. TimesTen provides a mid-tier caching facility that can be integrated into Oracle databases.
The terms are not mutually exclusive and the functions are frequently combined; however, there is a difference in intent. A buffer is a temporary memory location, that is traditionally used because CPU instructions cannot directly address data stored in peripheral devices. Thus, addressable memory is used as intermediate stage. Additionally such a buffer may be feasible when a large block of data is assembled or disassembled (as required by a storage device), or when data may be delivered in a different order than that in which it is produced. Also a whole buffer of data is usually transferred sequentially (for example to hard disk), so buffering itself sometimes increases transfer performance. These benefits are present even if the buffered data are written to the buffer once and read from the buffer once.
A cache also increases transfer performance. A part of the increase similarly comes from the possibility that multiple small transfers will combine into one large block. But the main performance gain occurs because there is a good chance that the same datum will be read from cache multiple times, or that written data will soon be read. Cache's sole purpose is to reduce accesses to the underlying slower storage. Cache is also usually an abstraction layer that is designed to be invisible from the perspective of neighboring layers.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a form of chronic inflammatory arthritis that affect the spine and the sacroilium in the pelvis. It causes swelling and stiffness in the joints between the vertebrae and the sacroiliac (where the spine joins the pelvis). Over time, it can cause fusion of the spine, resulting in a poor posture, pain, and stiffness.

Inside the locker room: Ben RoethlisbergerNovember 7, 2012 by Teresa Varley
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger talked to the media before practice on Wednesday about the offense, Todd Haley and the game against the Chiefs on Monday night.
How easy it to avoid the proverbial 'trap game'?
I just got asked that same question from the Kansas City media. They asked kind of the same things about the records and all of that. I'm excited to come home and play in front of our home fans and I want to put on a show for them. I don't see that happening. We can't let down. But just to come home and play in front of our home fans, it feels like forever since we've been here.
Why was last year's game against the Chiefs so close?
It's a hard place to play. They're a good team. I don't remember a lot of the game but I just know going there is never easy.
If Antonio Brown cannot play Monday, what does the wide receivers rotation look like?
We obviously have to wait and see what's going on but I think we'd leave Emmanuel [Sanders] at his spot and move Jerricho [Cotchery] to Antonio's spot. It's a great thing to have those receivers. We've always said it's the next man up and there's no doubt in my mind we'll have someone step up and be ready to go.
How do you explain the success of this team on Monday night's at home?
I don't know. The crowd is always great no matter when you play but when it's a primetime game it seems to have a little bit more energy which gets us going a little bit more.
Re: Avoiding a letdown game:
I hate that, the whole letdown game-type thing because everyone knows that any week in this league, any team is good and any team can be bad and anybody can win. We just have to go out and approach it like we need to play Steelers football. It doesn't matter who we play, we need to go play Steelers football. That's the kind of approach we're going to have this week as well.
How much can the diversity of the offense from the Oakland game to last week's game can be attributed to offensive coordinator Todd Haley?
He's our coordinator. He's calling the plays. We just do whatever we feel we have to do to win the game, run the ball, pass the ball, throw deep or throw short. We take in pride in being able to be diverse.
Did you start the season with a lot of plays and the playbook has since been scaled back now that Haley has a better feel for who can do what?
Possibly. We did get to a point this year where we felt like we were getting a little bit out of control with not being simplified with whatever we thought our best personnel packages were. We felt like we've got to the point where we felt like we know what our best personnel group is and we just design plays out of those groups.
How many running plays have you gotten rid of in the past few weeks?
I don't think it's getting rid of stuff as much as it is adding things every week. Instead of having, this is just a number, 50 runs, we said let's just do 25 that we know well and do them well. We did the same thing in the pass game with formations and motions and everything else.
Being able to successfully run fewer plays means the defense has more of an idea of what's coming. So, you have to execute the plays better in order to be successful, right?
Correct. That's the approach that you have to have. That's why I think we were okay doing it because we felt like we could still mix it up enough, still have combination routes and run plays at the same time so if the run doesn't look good we can get into a pass or visa-versa.
What do you attribute to the fact that your sack totals are much lower this year?
A little bit of a couple things. I think the line has been playing great. They're doing a great job. I think the offense just calling short pass plays and you could in turn say that I'm getting the ball out of my hands. But guys are getting open in shorter routes because that's what we're doing and we're not taking quite as many shots deep down the field. It's a combination of all those things.
How much of an adjustment has it been not taking as many shots deep down the field?
We've always felt we've got deep play guys but as we saw the other night, we can also get it to them quick and let them go the distance. We just try to have a happy medium. When do we take our shots? We still have to have those plays because we've got guys that can stretch the field. But we also have guys that we feel we can get them catches short and let them run long. That's the approach that we have to be able to take as well. Whatever works, as long as we get in the endzone, it doesn't matter how we get there.
Do you get the sense that this is an important game for Haley?
[Laughs] A little bit. He hasn't come out and said anything like "Let's go get 'em" or anything. But you always have that feeling. It's the same thing when we play the Jets for Jerricho Cotchery or anybody that comes to this team from another team. You as a team want to get that win for those guys, like when we went to the Super Bowl and had Flozell [Adams]. Just things like that, you want to do it for those guys.
Why have you been able to run the ball when teams know you're going to run, and pass the ball when teams know you're going to pass?
I don't know. Obviously, early on in the year we weren't super successful running the ball but we felt that we still got the runs when we needed to but "the numbers weren't pretty." It's just the will of the guys. Late in games, when we need to run the ball, the line loves it because they love just burying those defensive linemen and it's demoralizing for defenses. It's just wanting to get it done I guess.

The conference offers thoughtful, evidence-based law and policy analysis and discussion of cutting-edge immigration issues.
This report traces how the American public and the U.S. government have responded to the diversification of migrant streams and the increasing proportion of illegal immigration in recent decades. It outlines the anxieties triggered by this immigration, the policy response at the national and state levels, and the implications of the second generation over the long run.
With the ten year anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks approaching, the Migration Policy Institute held a conference call to discuss the most significant changes that have occurred in the immigration arena in the decade since the attacks.
Migration to the United States from Mexico and Central America's Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) has accelerated in the last four decades. This increase has been driven by economic opportunities and facilitated by social networks of friends and family already in the United States.
This fact sheet details the policy, programmatic, budget, and manpower changes that have happened in the immigration arena as an outgrowth of the 9/11 attacks.
287(g) programs have surged into the public consciousness in recent years. Now operating in 72 jurisdictions, the 287(g) program authorizes state and local law enforcement officers to screen people for immigration status, issue detainers to hold unauthorized immigrants on immigration violations, and begin the process of their removal from the United States.
In assessing the implementation, enforcement outcomes, costs, and community impacts of the 287(g) federal-state immigration enforcement program, the report finds that about half of 287(g) activity involves noncitizens arrested for misdemeanors and traffic offenses.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Alejandro Mayorkas details his agenda for his agency and discusses top priorities for USCIS.

Slow but consistent safety reforms continue at local schools nearly five months after 26 people were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Additional school resource officers (SROs) were brought onboard in the days immediately following the tragedy, but since then school and community officials have stepped back to try to identify the best long-term security measures.
"It's early in the process and it's a major undertaking when you're looking at a total re-evaluation of the safety and security at schools," said Jim Hicks, who oversees a security task force for Walton County schools. "We want to be methodical (and) not have a knee-jerk reaction."
To help capture the big picture, the task force in Walton County evaluated the security situation of every school in the district, Hicks said.
School administrators also were asked to evaluate risk factors they saw, and the task force is combing through the findings to make a plan of how to proceed.
"It's a pretty big job once we got to digging," Hicks said.
In the meantime, schools have been urged to continue locking doors and monitoring all visitors.
Bay Elementary School in Santa Rosa Beach has taken security a step further: The staff now must buzz in all visitors, Hicks said.
The Rader Group, which runs several charter schools in the area, is implementing a similar approach.
"We pretty much identified what we think we need to do," said Terri Roberts, the CEO of the Rader Group.
At Liza Jackson Preparatory School, Rader decided to renovate the entrance over the summer to stem entry to visitors without approval from the front office. Officials also are waiting on a risk assessment from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office.
"We're wrestling with the whole SRO issue," Roberts said.
At Okaloosa Academy, which already has metal detectors, students no longer will be allowed to have backpacks on campus. Officials tried that policy at another alternative school in Milton and found it successful.
Okaloosa County is further along in the process, and district officials already have put together a security proposal with five conclusions, Superintendent of Schools Mary Beth Jackson said.
"We will be sharing them with the (school) board," Jackson said. "They won't have a lot of details in there, but they are very important."
Bill Smith, who has overseen many of the security reviews for the district, said a few more quiet changes have occurred at schools since the initial actions, but it's nothing overly apparent or what officials want to publicize.
Smith declined to elaborate on any details of the proposal, but said some recommendations would cost money.
Jackson said she anticipates the district would have funding for three of the five recommendations despite that the state has decided not to allocate any more money for school security.
As for the SROs, Jackson said district administrators are working on the budget to decide if it is feasible to continue paying part of the bill to have them in the elementary schools or to consider a different approach.
Jackson said the bottom line for her is that security remains a top concern.
"There is nothing that has changed," Jackson said of the past five months. "The safety of kids is still the No. 1 priority for me, no matter what."
Santa Rosa County Superintendent of Schools Tim Wyrosdick couldn't be reached for comment Monday, but said during a recent School Board meeting that the district was moving forward with several plans to improve security.
He didn't provide details, but Wyrosdick confirmed that school district officials have been working closely with Santa Rosa County Sheriff Wendell Hall to ensure schools are as safe as possible.

Happy Thanksgiving 2012
Posted by KingShamus on November 22, 2012
It may be said that mankind's default emotional position is ingratitude. The average human has a marvelous capacity to complain about his lot in life. We spend a lot of time bitching about our broke-down car, our annoying neighbor, our woefully underperforming sports team, our crappy job, our idiotic boss and our ridiculous president.
This is why Thanksgiving may be the greatest of all holidays. Make no mistake, I say that with the knowledge that other celebrations have much to recommend them. Christmas gets high marks for the whole 'getting stuff from other people' thing. New Years Eve is a brilliant excuse to kill all those highly overrated brain cells you weren't using to cure halitosis anyway. Fourth of July involves copious amounts of loud fiery explosions. The much-beloved Arbor Day fills our hearts with glowing reverence for wood.
But no holiday really has the powerful emotional tug of Thanksgiving. The gathering of family and friends from across the fruited plain is wonderful. Being able to enjoy food and fellowship is one of the great pleasures of life. Watching football in a narcoleptic haze is pretty cool too. But most of all, the traditions of the day remind you that while life isn't always a breezy stroll through paradise, there are blessings to be grateful for if we just think on it for a spell.
Thanksgiving forces us to take a few steps back from our day-to-day grind and get some much-needed perspective. The old jalopy just needs a tune-up and some detailing. The guy next door has worked a week of double shifts, which might explain why he's so crabby. The Giants are still in first place despite playing like garbage for a month. Work might stink but at least you're still collecting a paycheck. The office manager is demanding but he did let you skip out of work early a few times last month so you could go to the bar with your homies. Barack Obama is capable of vast amounts of corruption, incompetence and hypocrisy but these are well-known factors of modern life, which makes our glorious Commander-In-The-Rear just little bit easier to endure.
Most importantly, we still live in the greatest country that history has ever known.
We are still Americans.
We still live in the most revolutionary society ever devised.
We are still children of the Enlightenment.
We are still children of a loving God.
With all those blessings, it's a wonder every day isn't Thanksgiving.
Personally, I'm blessed with the support and encouragement I get from my readers and fellow bloggers. Without your comments and interest, this would be one helluva hard slog.

There really is no place like home for the holidays — especially at Thanksgiving, when so many families manage to get together to celebrate the bounty that most Americans certainly have.

Shamus! You so eloquently described exactly why Thanksgiving is a great holiday! I've always liked it the best too! We have lot's to be thankful for. I'm especially thankful to have a great blogging buddy like you!
Much appreciated you linked to me, and keeping my plight out there.
Thanks for your kindness and support! That's also a super round-up link fest of all the great blogs!
I hope you have the best Thanksgiving ever! I went to dinner with friends, and it was great fun, but a bit tiring. Had the hospice nurse over today, and now I better go lie down. Have a Super Saturday & Sunday, and stay safe shopping, it's a madhouse out there.

WaterSense and Water Efficient Products
WaterSense, a partnership program sponsored by the EPA, seeks to protect the future of our nation's water supply by promoting water efficiency and enhancing the market for water-efficient products, programs, and practices. The program helps consumers identify water-efficient products and programs. The WaterSense label indicates that these products and programs meet water efficiency and performance criteria.
The Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) sets the purchasing specifications for water-efficient product categories commonly purchased by federal agencies. Products meeting these performance requirements fulfill FEMP-designated product requirements. However, FEMP does not endorse specific products.
The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) requires agencies to identify all "covered facilities" that constitute at least 75 percent of the agency's facility energy and water use. A covered facility may be defined as "a group of facilities at a single location or multiple locations managed as an integrated operation." An energy manager must be designated for each of these covered facilities. Each facility's energy manager is responsible for:
- Completing comprehensive energy and water evaluations of 25 percent of covered facilities each year, so that an evaluation of each such facility is completed at least once every four years;
- Implementing identified energy and water efficiency measures;
- Following up on implemented measures, including fully commissioning equipment, putting in place operations and maintenance plans, and measuring and verifying energy and water savings.
Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 23.202 sets federal policy to acquire supplies and services that promote water efficiency and help foster markets for emerging technologies. This policy extends to all acquisitions, including those below the simplified acquisition threshold.
Executive Orders (EOs): EO - 13514 [PDF - 151.39KB] requires federal agencies to:
- Ensure that 95 percent of new contract actions, including task and delivery orders for products and services are water-efficient, where such products and services meet agency performance requirements; and
- Improve water use efficiency and management by reducing potable water consumption intensity by two percent annually through fiscal year 2020, or 26 percent by the end of fiscal year 2020, relative to a baseline of the agency's water consumption in fiscal year 2007. This is to be accomplished by implementing water management strategies including water-efficient and low-flow fixtures and efficient cooling towers.
EO 13423 requires federal agencies to:
- Reduce water consumption intensity (gallons per square foot) two percent annually through the end of fiscal year 2015, or 16 percent by the end of fiscal year 2015 from a 2007 baseline. This requirement is to be achieved incrementally by fiscal year beginning in 2008;
- Conduct annual water audits of at least 10 percent of facility square footage and to conduct audits at least every 10 years; and
- Purchase water efficient products and services, including WaterSense labeled products, and use contractors who are certified through a WaterSense labeled program where applicable.
The EPA's WaterSense website lists qualifying water-efficient products. Be sure to purchase products marked with the WaterSense label when they are available. WaterSense currently covers the following product categories:
- Bathroom Sink Faucets
- Flushing Urinals
- High-Efficiency Toilets
- Landscape Irrigation Services
- New Homes
- Pre-rinse Spray Valves
- Showerheads
- Weather or Sensor-based Irrigation Control Techniques
FEMP lists specifications for water-saving products in the upper 25 percent of their class. Visit the FEMP website to view the specifications and guide in the selection to water-efficient products.

I would go for Kate Winslet for Magrat. I get the impression that Magrat is supposed to be in her thirties. As for the pale, washed out look, they can use make up. Look at Charlize Theron in Monster or Cameron Diaz in Being John Malkovich.
I think Maggie Smith would be the best for Granny. What about Tina Malone for Nanny Ogg?
Any suggestions for Agnes Nitt?

ARCHAEOLOGY enthusiasts are being urged to get involved with the third and final stage of a project looking at the industrial past of the Lake District.
'Reflections on History' is a joint project by the Lake District National Park and the National Trust and provides opportunities for local people to learn about the past industries of Windermere.
The project has already looked at the industrial themes of woodland and water power but the third stage, starting in April, will take place at the lead mines and slate quarries in Grasmere and Langdale.
An introductory day, including a guided walk to Banks Quarry, Langdale, will be held next month for would-be participants to find out more.
"No prior knowledge or experience is required and on-site training will be provided by qualified archaeologists," said LDNPA Archaeology and Heritage Assistant Holly Beavitt- Pike.
"However given the remote location and nature of the sites it is important that volunteers can demonstrate a reasonable level of fitness in order to take part in the work," she added.
The day begins at 11am on March 9 and is at Langdale Village Hall, Chapel Stile.
TWO thirds of the red kites released in Grizedale Forest last summer have survived the harsh winter.
Wildlife rangers believe that around 20 of the 30 birds released in the Forestry Commission's three-year re-introduction programme made it through the winter and are still in Cumbria, or nearby counties. Between five and eight of the birds are believed to be living around Grizedale and the Rusland Valley, with another three to five inhabiting the Kirkby Moor area near Ulverston.
Four more Grizedale red kites have been spotted by RSPB experts at feeding stations in Dumfries and Galloway – the furthest known movement is by the bird tagged as number four, which has flown 120km north west into Scotland.
"The birds are doing pretty much exactly as we expected, which is very encouraging," said Iain Yoxall, Forestry Commission wildlife ranger. "We are more confident that these birds will make it to adults now they have made it through a harsh winter. Sadly we lost a few birds but that is natural and why we have to release the numbers that we did."
The 30 red kites released from a secret location in Grizedale Forest in August last year had coloured tags on each wing. An orange tag on their left wing shows they are from Grizedale, and blue tags on their right wings indicate that they were released in 2010. Some birds were also fitted with radio transmitters to help with monitoring.
Mr Yoxall, who has been following the birds' movements around Cumbria, said the help he has received from the public had been invaluable. "I have been radio tracking the birds but sightings from members of the public have been a fantastic help and greatly appreciated. This has been very important because it helps us find the birds and backs up our radio tracking results to give us a more robust picture of their movements. We hope that the public will continue letting us know when and where they make sightings of the red kites."
This year's birds will hatch in May and are likely to be released into Grizedale Forest in August. The red kites being introduced into Grizedale are the product of a reintroduction programme that took place in Northamptonshire in the 1980s.
Red kites were almost eradicated from the UK following changes in farming practices and human persecution between the 16th and 19th centuries. But they managed to cling on in Wales, and their numbers recovered slowly thanks to the actions of local conservationists

In Belgium the only cable ISP has caps. 100GB for the cheapest plan (30/2.5), between 150GB and 750GB for the second offering (60/4) and between 250GB and 1250GB for the fastest (120/5). Those caps for the upper two plans shift dynamically depending on what time of day and what days you use the internet.
as far as I know no cable based ISP's have a cap, I think there are rumors that some might have one that's like 250-500gb a month, but I still have never really heard of anyone getting extra fees for going over it. As far as cell providers that have caps, then yes, that does make more sense as congestion can be an issue, but not as much as they like to claim sometimes.

For Immediate Release: April 2, 2012
The City of Alexandria will observe the Days of Remembrance, Yom HaShoah, for the victims of the Holocaust at noon on Tuesday, April 17, 2012, in Market Square, 301 King Street. The Alexandria City Council hosts the annual ceremony as part of the weeklong commemoration of the national Days of Remembrance, Sunday, April 15, through Sunday, April 22. This is the 25th consecutive year that the City has held the Days of Remembrance ceremony. The event is free and open to the public. In case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held in the Vola Lawson Lobby on the first floor of City Hall, 301 King St. (on the Cameron St. side of the building).
The guest speaker for the ceremony will be Hans Peter Manz, current Ambassador of Austria to the United States. Ambassador Manz has represented Austria in the United States since December 2011. He arrived in Washington D.C. having served as Austrian Ambassador to Switzerland for more than four years.
During the ceremony, Alexandria Mayor William D. Euille and City Council members will light a candelabrum that Holocaust survivor Charlene Schiff and her husband, Ed, donated to the City. The 54-inch high solid brass candelabrum was given to the City in memory of Charlene Schiff's parents, sister, and the six million Jews and millions of others who perished in the Holocaust.
The Schiff candelabrum, under the care of the City's Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities, is made available to schools and civic groups studying the Holocaust and to the City's annual observance of the Days of Remembrance.
The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, in accordance with its Congressional mandate (Public Law 96-388, 10/7/80), is leading the nation in the weeklong Days of Remembrance commemoration.
