Title: More information on Malvavaceae from French botanical garden
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:hello thanks for the reply in your garden all of yours Malvaceae interested us but priority for this species could you help us ? regards Fabrice Absous Allowissadula holosericea Bastardia viscosa Cienfuegosia drummondii Eremalche parryi ssp. parryi Eremalche rotundifolia Hibiscus biseptus Hibiscus coulteri Hibiscus denudatus Hibiscus martianus Hibiscus striatus Hibiscus striatus ssp. lambertianus Iliamna grandiflora Kokia drynarioides Malvella lepidota Malvella leprosa Meximalva filipes Rhynchosida physocalyx
As we explained to you in our answer to your previous question, we do not have information in our Native Plant Database on any plants non-native to North America.
You no doubt have the same kind of access to the Internet that we do. This particular member of the Mr. Smarty Plants Team uses Google as a browser, but there may be others you find more convenient or accessible in Europe. If you follow the italicized genus and species name link on each plant, this will take you to our webpage on that plant. At the bottom of the webpage on each plant is a link to Google on that plant, so you can do your own additional searches. We have no idea if any of these plants could be obtained or would thrive in France.
Allowissadula holosericea (Chisos mountain false indianmallow) - this is native to North America, in fact to New Mexico and Texas, basically to desert areas. More information.
Bastardia viscosa (Viscid mallow) - native to Texas. More information.
Cienfuegosia drummondii (Yellow flymallow) - native to Texas. More information.
For the rest of these, we will just give you the link to our database, if that plant is in there. At the bottom of the webpage is a link to Google on that plant.
Eremalche parryi ssp. parryi (Parry's mallow)
Eremalche rotundifolia (Desert fivespot)
Hibiscus biseptus (Arizona rosemallow)
Hibiscus coulteri (Coulter hibiscus)
Hibiscus martianus (Heartleaf rosemallow)

Apple in talks to improve sound quality of music downloads
Apple is among a group of digital music retailers in discussions with record labels to improve the sound quality of their digital offerings, according to a new report. Citing executives involved in the talks, CNN reports that the change would involve the labels supplying retailers with 24-bit audio files, as opposed to the 16-bit files that are currently distributed. "We've gone back now at Universal, and we're changing our pipes to 24 bit. And Apple has been great," said Interscope co-founder and chairman Jimmy Iovine. "We're working with them and other digital services—download services—to change to 24 bit. And some of their electronic devices are going to be changed as well. So we have a long road ahead of us." According to the report, the higher-quality files might be sold at a premium price, and could require upgrades to future iPods and iPhones to ensure compatibility. "Paul McCartney can master The Beatles albums all he wants," said Iovine, who also works with Dr. Dre on Beats Audio products, "(but) when you play them through a Dell computer, it sounds like you're playing them through a portable television."

Maybe I'm just old and deaf, but after growing up on hissing cassette tapes and crackly LP's, the quality of current downloads, cranked through half decent earbuds works just fine for me.
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 10:42 AM (CST)
I agree with #1. I am by no means an audiophile. I will admit that I have heard some differences in FLAC or Apple Lossless files ver the average iTunes download, but it has been minimal to my not-so-delicate ears.
And, to add to this absurdity, they want to charge more for the better tracks? That is just criminal. The record companies already rip off artists and customers alike. Now they want to say that providing a slightly higher sound quality digital copy deserves more money… This is exactly why piracy still runs rampant in the music industry. Stop trying to stick it to your paying customers at every chance you get!
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 11:30 AM (CST)
This is precisely why I've wanted to see them offer lossless all along. While admittedly for very, very limited music types played on very, very limited ranges of equipment, there are very, very few living humans who could ABX a 24 bit source file from a 16 bit source file, the fact remains that although offering 24 bit digital encodes would technically be a sonic upgrade, unless they're going to start selling lossless, their intent is clear: to trickle out these "upgrades" every couple of years to squeeze more repeat sales from a public too ill informed to know better.
If you're not going to sell lossless, then Apple and others' current "standard" of ~256 kbps encodes is indistinguishable from the original CD for nearly all humans while not being too wasteful on file size or battery consumption. Upgrading to 24 bit sources, unless you're a golden ear with a $10,000 stereo, unfortunately, is just snake oil. There have been 24 bit lossless audio sources available for many years from audiophile aimed music services and they've hardly set the world on fire because most of us just can't hear the difference, and of those who can, most don't care enough to pay the extra money these services want.
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 11:55 AM (CST)
About time! Lossy compression was designed for 90s PCs on dial-up. If you're fine with that then so be it. For those of us who care because we can hear the difference, this is a too-long awaited advance.
As for most people supposedly being unable to hear the difference, that's most likely untrue. Most people haven't listened to lossless downloads so they can't already know if they can hear a difference or not.
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 12:14 PM (CST)
How CD sales keep falling in the face of developments like this, I'll never know.
I'll keep buying CDs and ripping them to Lossless until, like #3 says, purchased tracks are finally offered in this format.
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 2:01 PM (CST)
The article says nothing about lossless downloads. Essentially, retailers will get 24 bit versions instead fo 16 bit versions. What the retailer does with it, though, is left unanswered. If Apple decides to compress it to lossy (which is most likely), then whether it's 24 bit or 16 bit really won't matter - it's still compressed audio, making this articale a nonstarter for those concerned with digital downloads.
However, if this means that cds will now be regularly pressed in 24 bit recordings, that's a boon for those of us who still buy cds and have mid to hi-fi systems. Today, most cds are pressed at 16 bit, which is inferior (at least to my eras..).
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 2:38 PM (CST)
I am one that says they hear little to no difference between the lossless formats and an average 256 kpbs iTunes download. I do not have high-end equipment and my ears are (apparently) not that well trained. And I HAVE heard many songs in the lossless formats. I have the entire Beatles remastered catalog in FLAC. I also have a Nine Inch Nails album downloaded in FLAC. I have ripped a few CD's in Apple Lossless as well. While I might hear a few fingers sliding on strings or slightly crisper vocals, it simply is not a big enough difference to warrant additional time, money or effort. If I was rocking some crazy sound system that cost me as much as my car…maybe I would say differently. But on my iPod through my MINI Cooper/Harman Kardon stereo, no real change.
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 3:50 PM (CST)
What is being missed, sans #6's reply, is that there are those of us that CAN hear the difference, AND have the gear to hear it.
For the remaining holdouts to downloads, this would (partially) address them. I still buy CDs, except for the singles and last-minute songs for a road trip, etc. If Apple and the labels offered a serious competitor to the CD digitally, I'd certainly give it a try.
Nothing can replace a great package such as an LP or CD with all the goodies, but us dinosaurs seemed to have lost the war here. I can adjust, but I need something good to replace it.
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 4:06 PM (CST)
I, I, I, etc. So YOU don't. Okay.
Lossless files do require more space and time downloading than lossy but space cost a fraction of what it did in the 90s and people can download lossless tracks through broadband faster than people can download lossy tracks through dial-up. Even with lossless, people can spend LESS time, money (for drive space) and effort collecting tunes than they did back in Napster's heyday.
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 5:24 PM (CST)
@#6: While most recordings today are 24-bit, compact discs are 16-bit and always will be. The only way to get higher quality on a disc is SACD, BD or DVD-Audio.
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 7:31 PM (CST)
My response was directed at your statement that those that say they can't hear the difference are "most likely untrue". You too seem to be projecting a bit. I am simply saying that for those that can not hear the difference (as few or unlikely as that may be in your opinion), why should we need to pay more per download? Because that was one of the points in the article…an increased charge for higher quality downloads.
If they decide to offer high and normal quality and keep the prices intact…so be it. I am fine letting others pay for that higher quality file. If they can hear it, have the equipment and care enough, they can pay the premium. But, Apple and/or the recording studios already charge a premium to convert the old DRM'd files to the newer "open" ones. I find it hard to believe that they would not see this as a chance to up those prices across the board. Just switch to the 24 bit or lossless that they decide on and make everyone pay the higher cost, even if they were just fine with 16 bit/256 kbps.
Again, this is simply my opinion. I know there are people out there that care. I just don't. And from what I have read in many forums, I am not alone. I would not feel wrong in saying that the folks on the "we NEED lossless" side are in the minority. Especially if they suddenly have to start paying more for it. That broadband point is not what I was referring to. I was alluding more to the time it takes to rip a CD to lossless, store that CD once it is ripped OR the extra cash they will try to fleece from me for providing that same quality in download form.
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 7:50 PM (CST)
Galley - you're correct, of course. There are HDCD recordings, but I think those are 20 bit. And you still need a player that recognizes that format. So I guess the upside (for those few of us who care) is that Apple and others will have the option of offering digital downloads of uncompressed 24 bit recordings to the masses. In reality, however, this will never happen (as made clear by the majority of comments on this thread).
Long live vinyl…
Posted by Charles Starrett on February 22, 2011 at 11:19 PM (CST)
Well, if the iPhone 5 has greater storage capacity (at least 64GB), and if they come out with the rumored 220 GB iPod Classic, AND if lossless tracks are offered so that they can't scam us for more money like they did with iTunes Plus and removing DRM (remember that?) then maybe I'll be interested.
Otherwise, no thanks. The $0.99/track price point is what made iTunes successful, and they seem to be forgetting this fact more as each year passes.

Home > Press > CEA-Leti Makes a R&D 20nm Fully Depleted SOI Process available through CMP
CEA-Leti and CMP (Circuits Multi Projets®) announced during the FDSOI Workshop at Tokyo University the launch of an Exploratory MPW (Multi Project Wafers) initiative based on FDSOI (Fully Depleted SOI) 20nm process, opening the access of its 300mm infrastructure to the design community. This MPW offer is partly supported by EUROSOI+ network that gathers the main European academic partners on SOI.
"Leti has pioneered the SOI technology for years, leading track records in the most advanced research in FDSOI, assessing its key advantages for low power high performance applications with several industrial customers," said Laurent Malier, CEO of CEA-Leti. "It is time now to enlarge the diffusion of the FDSOI technology enabling test cases on 20nm process and beyond. This hit will change the game, breaking the wall of technology to give an open access to the R&D international design community and a unique opportunity to touch silicon with innovative designs."
"CMP is very proud to offer such a very advanced process to the community. Such a process will allow researchers and engineers to experiment with the benefits of SOI on an advanced technology node," said Bernard Courtois, head of CMP.
CEA-Leti has been involved with FDSOI R&D for a number of years and has developed internally both an advanced High-K/Metal Gate FDSOI process and a number of specific design and simulation tools based on industry-standard design-flow packages. FDSOI technology presents key advantages over conventional bulk technology for future nodes. The electrostatic integrity of the transistors is ensured by the thinness of the body without the need for extra litho steps, like in the case of FinFETs, or of channel doping. The consequence is a planar technology that exhibits at the same time excellent short channel behavior and significant improvement of the variability as shown in a number of recent papers.
The basis of the technology offer will be the following:
- CMOS transistors with an undoped channel and a silicon film thickness of 6nm
- High-k / Metal Gate stack
- Single threshold voltage (Vth) n- and pMOSFET with balanced Vth of ±0.4V
- Associated Design Kit, including SPICE model (Verilog-A language), model cards extracted from silicon data, p-cells, DRC, LVS, schematic, parasitics
- Design Kit documentation
The first run is scheduled to be launched in September 2011. All details will be available on the CMP website.

"Contextual Imminence" and the Prophetic Events Leading Up to the Rapture
Join Kenneth, John and Cathy in the chat room while they discuss the empirical events across the world leading up to World War III, the trickery and deceit of the New World Order, and the bizarre weirdness of the fallen angelic UFO phenomenon as we plunge head first into the forthcoming apocalypse and the Seven Seals of Revelation (chapter 6). Tonight we will discuss the concept of "Contextual Imminence" and present the prophetic information that spells out the events in our near future leading up to the rapture.

Short of a Miracle: Tina Torry's Story of Hope in the Midst of Tragedy
in Lifestyle
Join us as we share Christina Torry's story of the child she thought she aborted.
As the nation marks January as Sanctity of Life Month and thousands gather to march for the unborn, Tina Torry, whose baby survived an abortion, shares her story of how "divine intervention" saved her daughter's life.
It was 1978 when Tina Torry, 17 at the time, became pregnant. Her boyfriend, family, and health care professionals were adamant that she have an abortion – as it was legal at the time, she told The Christian Post.
"I had no moral support to keep the child," she said. "From day one, I was pointed to an abortion clinic. They never said consider adoption."
According to Torry, sitting in the Charleston, S.C., abortion clinic was "unreal." She recalled looking at the women in the waiting room, and one in particular appeared to be at least six months pregnant. It was then that the enormity of the situation dawned on her.

#T2Q Episode No. 500!
It's hard to believe that after 4 years, 5 months, and 9 days that I've reached episode #500! What started off as a 10 minute rant on relationships in episode 1 has turned into my own personal legacy. For the 500th time, I will reach out to the world and mix it up with some of the most intelligent and entertaining callers in talk show history.
I have been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out "how in the world can I celebrate Show No. 500?" It's so much trouble trying to reach out to have guests from the past call, so I decided against that. I'm sure that those who still follow the show and have the time will call to say "hello," I decided to do something different. Tonight, my Show Legends and I will play T2Q Trivia!
Not only will they get questions about the history of the show, but they will also answer questions about certain events and pop culture happenings. I'll be giving away T2Q paraphanalia to boot as #500 is finally here!
the Talk 2 Q Radio Show! "No experts. Just opinions."

Four-Star Alabama Commit: "Notre Dame Really Has Me Thinking" After Visit And Offer
Stealing a recruit from a powerhouse like Alabama is not easy, but that is exactly what Notre Dame aims to do with four-star defensive end Mekhi Brown.

Exciting news!
Today marks the day that my new book, The I Love You More Book, hits bookstores (it's also available online). Although you know me as the "sex professor" - I've been researching/teaching about sex for about 12 years and have been working with the Men's Health family for several fun years - sex isn't everything I do (even though it's a whole lot of what I do).
The I Love You More Book is an illustrated book about love. I wrote it in college and, last year, finally gathered the guts to pursue my dream. I dug it out of my basement box of college papers, typed it and edited it, then submitted it to StoryPeople Press. Much to my delight, they selected it, hired a talented illustrator (Rosalie Orlando Hatch) and, starting today, it will find its way to people's homes.
So, what is this book if it's not about sex?
It's about the playful game that men and women often play of seeing who loves the other one more. Instead of starring people, though, the two main characters are a big strong bull and a little butterfly. They playfully compete to see who loves the other one more.
The big strong bull says things like: "I love you more than all of the dimples on every last golf ball, it's really that simple"
And the little butterfly says things like: "I'll love you more than quarter past silly, longer than the blades of grass, flat or hilly, taped together in one super-long spiraled string times the number of off-key notes that I can sing."
The I Love You More Book is meant, above all, to be a book for people in love to give to each other. It's also, I think, a book that would be sweet to read to one's children.
And if giving it to your loved one ends up making their heart so mushy that they start taking off their clothes, then even better - after all, love and sex often do go together.
Available today on Amazon.
Debby Herbenick, PhD is a sex researcher and educator at Indiana University, a widely read sex columnist and author of Because It Feels Good, The Good in Bed Guide to Anal Pleasuring, The I Love You More Book, and Read My Lips: A Complete Guide to the Vagina and Vulva.

The first test of the new SuperFreak 6.0 UL on my Thruster converted Exocet Exo-Wave 95L
Filmed with GoPro HD mounted on the boom
You can read the full review here:
"It was ideal conditions for a 6.0 with 8-10 m/s of wind and was paired with my tri-fin converted 95L Exo wave. The handling is the usual SuperFreak feeling and it was pure bliss to ride the 6.0UL.
There was good power and depower as expected, the only time I even noticed it was a bigger sail (bigger than a 5.3 that is) was in the transistions where I noticed that it was a bit slower to react/throw around
But how did it do in lightwind wave riding? - It did EXCELLENTLY!
No problems at all in the wave riding - please note that the conditions was not fast down the line wave riding, but more milking slower 3-4 foot wind waves which means that the waves are surfed more than powered riding as what I get to ride 90% of the time - but the power was there to accelerate to catch the sections and to use in the topturns to whip around.
As one of those that have asked Jeff to make the 6.0 I can only say - Jeff you have done it again!
Just my notes from A Perfect Session"
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

WWE (NYSE:WWE) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012. Revenues totaled $115.1 million as compared to $112.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income was $2.6 million as compared to a loss of $13.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Net income was $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share, as compared to a loss of $8.6 million, or $(0.12) per share, in the prior-year quarter. Excluding items that impacted comparability on a year-over-year basis, Adjusted Operating income was $5.4 million as compared to $3.1 million in the prior-year quarter, and Adjusted Net income was $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share, as compared to $1.8 million, or $0.02 per share, in the prior-year quarter. On an "As Reported" basis, the results of WWE's movie portfolio, including reduced film impairment charges, were a significant component of the rise in fourth-quarter earnings. Excluding the impact of these impairment charges and network-related expenses, the growth in "Adjusted" Operating income was predominantly from the licensing of new television programs and digital content, which more than offset ongoing investment to support the company's long-term growth objectives. Adjusted earnings, however, declined due to an increase in the effective tax-rate.
"In the fourth quarter, we continued to make important progress on our key strategic initiatives, expanding the production and licensing of new programs and enhancing our brands," stated Vince McMahon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Although we did not announce the launch of a domestic television network during the year, we believe, now more than ever, that we can realize the full value of our intellectual property using a variety of approaches in our global markets. Our confidence is based on the rising value of content and the tremendous global appeal of our brands."
"In 2012, our traditional core businesses (excluding the results of WWE Studios and network-related expenses) delivered EBITDA of $77 million, in line with our performance over the preceding four years, which has ranged from $76 million to $96 million. Based on the anticipated expiration of key commercial agreements and other opportunities to maximize our content value, we believe we have the potential to achieve a significant increase in earnings," added George Barrios, Chief Financial Officer. "In order to achieve this growth, it is critical that we invest in our production and creative capabilities. We expect that 2013 EBITDA performance will approximate our 2012 results, plus or minus 10%. In addition, we anticipate that net income will be impacted by incremental expenses from the return to a more normalized tax rate (30%-35% as compared to 26% in 2012) and increased depreciation of approximately $2 million to $3 million that derives from our ongoing capital investments to support our long-term growth initiatives.
Comparability of Results
Our results for the current-year quarter included $2.3 million in network-related operating expenses and a $0.5 million film impairment charge. Results for the prior-year quarter included $4.0 million in network-related operating expenses and $12.2 million in film impairment charges. In order to facilitate an analysis of our financial results on a more comparable basis, where noted, we have adjusted our results to exclude these items.

Seraphina was born in San Gimignano, Italy, to a poor family. She was known for her self denial and acts of penance as a young girl. A mysterious illness left this beautiful girl unattractive; her eyes, feet, and hands became deformed and eventually Seraphina was paralyzed. Her mother and father both died while she was young. She was devoted to St. Gregory the Great. She died on the feast of St. Gregory, exactly as she had been warned by Gregory in a dream. Seraphina was a very helpful child around the family home. She did many of the chores and helped her mother spin and sew. Her feast day is March 12.

The economy is going through its slowest recovery from a downturn in 80 years, and the biggest risk is a slowdown in Australia, according to economic forecasting group NZIER.
In its latest Quarterly Predictions, NZIER says the trudge out of the gloom would take another two to three years.
In a slow and patchy recovery, the New Zealand economy is expected to grow 2.1 per cent in 2013 and only slightly better at 2.6 per cent in the following year.
Canterbury's rebuilding would add to growth but would take longer than most economists expected, NZIER said.
And the biggest risk to the outlook is a slowing Australian economy, hurting New Zealand exports.
Trade figures out yesterday showed exports to Australia - New Zealand's biggest market - were down 4.5 per cent in the past year. Australia accounted for about a fifth of New Zealand's exports, so a slowdown across the Tasman had big implications for exports, especially for manufacturers here.
Many of New Zealand's exports go to "non-mining" Australian states. So the slowdown in exports was less about the knock-on impact of the Chinese demand for minerals, but more about a slower domestic economy in Australia.
"It's clear the eastern states are slowing, the housing market is cooling and domestic demand is coming back. That's a pretty big risk for New Zealand traders," NZIER principal economist Shamubeel Eaqub said.
The eastern states of Australia had been in recession for about nine months, as the boost from extra government spending wore off.
"It is the downturn they never had" during the global financial crisis, he said.
Meanwhile, New Zealand's recovery from recession was unusual, in that it was the slowest in 80 years, with some indicators similar to the Great Depression of the 1930s, NZIER said.
The economy now was almost 10 per cent smaller than in previous recoveries, four years after they began. The level of jobs was about 5 per cent lower than expected under a normal recovery.
"That's a sizeable chunk of jobs," Eaqub said.
In more usual times there might be about 110,000 more jobs than there are at present.
The present recovery was different from others because it was such a big "debt bust", with the last one of this size during the Great Depression, he said.
Rather than the economy snapping back to a normal recovery, it would take a long time to pay down debt.
Households were gradually repaying debt, which reduced the risks for the economy, but there were signs of the housing market overheating, especially in Auckland.
"If the housing market falls, perhaps because of deteriorating global growth, it could tailspin New Zealand back into recession," NZIER said.
There was also a rapid hollowing out of uncompetitive businesses.
