Blu Homes on Water-Efficient Landscaping
Here's a post about water-efficient landscaping by Blu Homes Co-founder Maura McCarthy. She interviewed me while I was driving to a jobsite last week. I designed the landscaping for the model Breezehouse.
More clients are calling about taking out lawns and installing water-efficient and beautiful landscaping. Many native plants are not only drought tolerant but are also very attractive.
As the article points out, there are lots of ways to design water-efficient landcaping that's useable, fun and beautiful.

Williams-Sonoma Returns to Sonoma
It's cool that Williams Sonoma is back in Sonoma.
The new landmark Williams-Sonoma store is part retail store and part museum, located in the exact spot that housed the original, a house that transformed American cooking in many ways.
It's a tribute to Chuck Williams and the Williams-Sonoma lifestyle experience.
After operating a hardware store, Williams opened Williams-Sonoma in 1956, selling French kitchenware. He lived behind the original house with his mother. He relocated to San Francisco in 1958. He's 99 now and going strong: the opening of the new store coincided with his birthday.
The new store is a shrine to American ingenuity, to a guy who saw the world the way we use it now, starting in the 1950s, when America was eating frozen dinners. Williams recognized a whole beautiful world of food that America hadn't caught onto at the time. Now Williams-Sonoma is a $4 billion company.
The original sign from 1956 is hanging in front. The original door is still in place. There's a lovely garden space and outdoor cooking area in the back.
Here are a few pictures I took during the pre-opening reception and birthday celebration:
Check out Chuck's desk calendar from 1958.
Monica Bhargava, who heads the design team for Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn, said that while there are many modern furnishings in the Williams-Sonoma home catalog,the team was cautious not to infuse that into the house. The upstairs bedroom includes classics such as the Bedford sofa, Atherton chair, and the La Courte Upright Desk. There's a natural feel that comes across in the choice of linens, hand-mounted rugs, signature cowhide, leather and suede that the company is known for. The design team went for a very neutral color palate of linens. "We wanted it to feel more like Chuck," Bhargava said. "We went back to his roots as we were looking for things."
"Comfort is the biggest luxury," Bhargava said. "If you're not comfortable what's the point of all the fancy stuff?"

'Dolphin Tale' Tops Box Office With $13.9 Million in Revenue
"Dolphin Tale" rose to first place in its second weekend of release, taking in $13.9 million at theaters in the U.S. and Canada for Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. studio.
The film unseated the 3-D re-release of "The Lion King," which ranked No. 1 for the prior two weekends, and edged out four new movies, researcher Hollywood.com Box-Office said today in an e-mailed statement. Walt Disney Co.'s "The Lion King" dropped to third with $10.6 million.
"Dolphin Tale," based on a true story, follows a young boy's effort to persuade scientists to create a prosthetic for a dolphin whose tail was amputated. The 3-D movie benefited from positive word-of-mouth after opening in third place last weekend, trailing the Brad Pitt baseball drama "Moneyball." The film has collected $37.2 million in two weeks.
"Family films are a hot commodity right now, and this demonstrates that," Jeff Bock, a film analyst for Exhibitor Relations in Los Angeles, said in a telephone interview.
"Dolphin Tale" features Nathan Gamble as a boy who finds the dolphin washed up on a beach, its tail infected after becoming entangled in a crab trap. Morgan Freeman co-stars as a prosthetics expert who creates the artificial tail. Harry Connick Jr. and Ashley Judd also are featured.
Finishing second was Sony Corp.'s "Moneyball" with $12 million. It's the story of Oakland Athletics General Manager Billy Beane's effort to transform the budget-constrained ball club from also-rans into winners. The film, based on the book by Michael Lewis, co-stars Jonah Hill and Philip Seymour Hoffman. The movie has taken in $38 million in two weeks.
"The Lion King" has generated $79.2 million in the U.S. and Canada since its debut on Sept. 16. The film tells the story of Simba, a lion cub who runs away after being tricked into thinking he was responsible for his father's death. The 1994 film won Oscars for original score and original song.
Opening at No. 4 was "Courageous," a movie about four fathers in law enforcement who are forced to grapple with their faith as tragedy strikes close to home and drives their children further away from them. The film is made by Sherwood Pictures, the movie production unit of Sherwood Church of Albany, Georgia, and is distributed by Sony. It had $9.1 million in receipts this past weekend.
"Sony picked this up wisely, and this film had a great grass-roots marketing campaign," Bock said. "It's amazing when a faith-based film does that much money."
Cancer Comedy
"50/50," the Summit Entertainment LLC film about a young man who finds out he has cancer, opened in fifth with $8.6 million. In the movie, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character confides to a friend, played by Seth Rogen, that he has been diagnosed with cancer. Anna Kendrick co-stars as a therapist who tries to help the patient cope with his situation.
Sixth was "Dream House," with $8.2 million and also making its debut. The movie stars Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz as parents in a family traumatized by strange occurrences in their new home. Naomi Watts also is featured in the film released by Comcast Corp.'s Universal Pictures.
"Abduction" finished seventh with $5.6 million in its fourth week of release. The movie is from Vancouver-based Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.
"What's Your Number?", from News Corp.'s Twentieth Century Fox, had $5.4 million in its first weekend. Anna Faris is featured as a lovelorn young woman who revisits her ex-boyfriends hoping to discover whether one of them might have been Mr. Right.
Revenue Rises
Rounding out the top 10 were "Killer Elite," a movie backed by cinema operators, at ninth with $4.9 million, and Warner Bros.' "Contagion" in 10th with $4.9 million.
Weekend revenue for the top 12 films rose 4 percent to $89.6 million from the year-earlier period, Hollywood.com said. Domestic box-office receipts this year have declined 3.4 percent to $7.99 billion. Attendance is down 5.4 percent.

Blogger Accuses Asus of Infringing GPL with Eee PC
Cliff Biffle, a US blogger, accuses Asus of infringements against the GPL with the software on ist Eee PC.
Writing on the subject of the recent presentation of the Asus mini-notebook, "Eee PC", in his blog, Biffle claims that modifications to the Open Source components infringe on the GPL. Biffle says that he has downloaded 1.8GB of source code from both the US and the Taiwanese sites and checked the code. He discovered that the code does not include all sources. Nor does the source code contain modifications by the PC vendor, and the required documentation was also missing.
In his test report Biffle describes what he discovered about the purported source code the download. He writes that the Zip archive includes just a couple of Debian installation packages, some of which were older versions than those supplied with the device, along with the kernel headers. He goes on to write that Asus has made major changes to the "asus_acpi" kernel modul for kernel 18.104.22.168, but without publishing, or disclosing and documenting the changes. In Biffle's opinion the vendor has taken steps to remove details of the modifications and the new functionality offered by the module. The modified modules now no longer contain typical information such as the module name, version and authoring information, as these details have simply been removed.
The Madwifi for the Atheros WiFi chip has also been modified says Biffle. However, there is no need to publish these changes as the Madwifi is dual licensed under the GPL and the BSD license, which means that Asus can keep the changes to itself.
It also looks like Asus is using the multipurpose Busybox binary in the Initramfs system image but without keeping to GPL rules. The developers of Busybox are currently working with the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) to defend their rights in a court of law, if needed.
The blog author writes that he and other people have contacted Asus but without receiving a response. Biffle hopes that Asus will simply say "Oops!", admit its error, and update the Zip archive.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Celtaxsys, Inc. a privately held biotechnology company, announced today that it has acquired CTX-4430 (formerly EP-501), a clinical stage drug candidate that inhibits the pro-inflammatory enzyme Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase (LTA4H), from Estrellita Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
In preclinical studies, CTX-4430 has demonstrated the ability to safely and effectively reduce the progression of chronic inflammation in several animal models. LTA4H is a key enzyme in the production of the major pro-inflammatory mediator Leukotriene B4 (LTB4). LTA4H and receptors to LTB4 are known to be elevated in a number of human lung diseases including Cystic Fibrosis, Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Additionally, elevated levels of LTA4H recently have been located at active demyelinating lesions in the brains of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Thus, CTX-4430 has the potential to be a first-in-class oral treatment for multiple indications with unmet clinical need.
"The acquisition of CTX-4430 and the entire LTA4H project gives us several unique opportunities to introduce superior products to fulfill unmet medical needs" said Dr. Michael R. Hanley, Chief Executive Officer of Celtaxsys. "The addition of the LTA4H project to our development portfolio fits perfectly with our core business of modulating innate immunity to treat chronic inflammatory disorders, especially in our major areas of interest, Cystic Fibrosis and Multiple Sclerosis."
William Guilford, President of Estrellita, stated, "We are very pleased to conclude this transaction with Celtaxsys who will continue the development of CTX-4430. Celtaxsys' management has a proven track record of successfully developing value-added therapies for important indications, with particular strength in the field of inflammation and therefore is an ideal choice to move CTX-4430 through the clinic and onto the market."

The two bodies of water offer unlimited ice fishing opportunities on bays and inlets that stretch from Thousand Islands to Massena.
Renowned for ice fishing opportunities in Thousand Islands are Henderson Harbor, Chaumont Bay, Eel Bay, Lake of Isles, Goose Bay and Chippewa Bay. As the big river turns east, proven hot spots are Wheathouse Bay in Ogdensburg, Brandy Brook and Coles Creek in the Waddington area, and Hawkins Point and any bays and inlets in the Massena area.
The river offers a wide range of species: northern pike, pickerel, walleye, yellow perch, black crappie, bluegills, sunfish, bullhead, muskie, the occasional trout and even rare catches of sturgeon, an endangered species.
Smaller rivers such as the Oswegatchie, Indian, Grasse, St. Regis and Raquette also offer endless stretches of waters, which will produce the same combination of gamefish and panfish.

The most popular destinations are Lake Champlain, Lake George, Brant Lake, Lake Bonaparte, Lake Clear, Lake Colby, Lake Eaton, Meacham Lake, Piseco Lake, Schroon Lake, Seventh Lake, Tupper Lake and Upper Chateaugay Lake.
NOTE: Regional fishing regulations might vary from water to water, and not all lakes are open to winter fishing.

For $300, no other phone comes close to what the OnePlus One offers. Not only does it look and feel like a premium device, but it also comes with specs similar to what you'd find in a flagship smartphone. If you're keeping costs down, look no further.Read the full review →
Heads up! A newer version of this product is out!
A $300 smartphone has never looked so good
It doesn't make sense that the OnePlus One should be this inexpensive. It looks elegant, feels solid and performs smoothly, and it doesn't show any signs that it's a first-generation product from an unknown company. Regardless of how well it sells, the industry will see this as a benchmark for what an affordable phone really can be. All told, it outperforms Google's Nexus 5 in nearly every way -- and it does so at an even lower price. Heck, it's better than many flagship phones that sell for twice as much.
The OnePlus One gets close to the perfection it's aspiring for, but it's not for everyone. Many will despise its large form factor, non-removable battery and lack of external storage. To a nitpicky reviewer, a truly perfect device would also include wireless charging and some type of waterproofing. But let's be real: It just isn't going to happen in a $299 device, especially one that's already filled to the brim with flagship features.
Here's the thing: The One doesn't have to be perfect for us to recommend it. A few missing features? Sure, no problem. What matters is that it's perfect for you, and it fits all of your needs. Besides, imperfections make us eager to see what's around the corner. In the meantime, we keep dreaming of perfection, and perhaps one day we'll actually find it.

First Looks
The external design of the phone is just as nice. In fact, the One is built by CEO Pete Lau's former company, Oppo, so you'll spot some similarities in terms of build quality, appearance (the back reminds us of the Find 5) and ergonomics.Read the full preview →
As cheesy as the name sounds (and confusing, if you were to start referring it as just the One), this 5.5-inch quad-core smartphone is actually pretty good. I've been using an early model that's very similar to the final product, bar some slight cosmetic alterations, and I must say I'm impressed.Read the full preview →
OnePlus is a brand-new phone maker with zero track record, although it was founded by a guy from Oppo, which is known for quality electronics. If OnePlus can build sufficient units, keep product quality up, and squash all the bugs, this phone could be a real game changer.Read the full preview →
OnePlus' Oppo heritage is clearly visible in the One. The design looks identical to the Oppo Find 5—which consequently causes a problem with the navigation button layout. OnePlus gives you the option of capacitive or on-screen buttons, but neither choice is ideal.Read the full preview →
With impressive specs, a fluid Android interface and a price tag which quite simply blows the competition out of the water the OnePlus One is the most surprising smartphone so far this year.Read the full preview →
OnePlus made a lot of lofty promises for its flagship smartphone, and the company has definitely delivered. Just the amazing price point of the device is more than enough to forgive any of its shortcomings, but luckily, there aren't any major flaws with the OnePlus One.Read the full preview →
The phone looks and feels great, and for once it seems the press images didn't have our expectations set too high for the quality of the phone when it's actually in our hands. The solid back cover — rightfully adorned with "Cyanogen" branding — tapers off to the edges perfectly.Read the full preview →

The phone will offer some unique software features as well, including always-on voice commands and support for gestures shortcuts which will let users simply draw a pre-set gesture on the turned off screen to launch a certain app.Read the full preview →
The design of the device is a bit plain, but inoffensive. It looks a lot like any number of Oppo devices in recent years, though this one has that snazzy new Cyanogen logo.Read the full preview →
From the brief amount of time I have spent with the device, I am somewhat saddened to say that the phone is just a tad too big for my tastes. It is much larger than the G2, Moto X, and Nexus 5, and is more along the lines of the Galaxy Note 3 and Note 2.Read the full preview →
I have to say I was extremely lucky to get an invite to buy this phone! After my first full week of use, I almost forgot how little I paid for the phone.

Best Superbowl Ads! [VIDEO]
As we get ready for the Big Game, here are 30 of the best SuperBowl ads of all time! Which one is your fave?
As we get ready for the Big Game, here are 30 of the best SuperBowl ads of all time! Which one is your fave?
By now you know, JoyFM has a fresh new sound and a great new staff, and we've got LOTS of great new things planned for YOU in the coming months.
Keep an eye out while you're watching TV...we've got two short commercials running and we love them!
If they're good enough for Santa to smoke, won't your family be pleased to find a carton in their stocking??!?!
I've got to start with a confession: I don't remember most of the commercials on TV during my high school years. But if the commercials were as mind-bogglingly strange as the ones from the 1990s seem to be, I think I might have asked for home schooling.
One downside of the Big Game broadcast each year is that so many commercials run during the game, or during the pre- and post-game shows, that sometimes a great commercial just gets lost in the sheer number of ads. This one, I think, doesn't deserve that fate.
One would expect a Will Ferrell Super Bowl Commercial to be talked about for weeks in advance, or at least be in the running for best ad after the game. Nope. Nobody knew about this spot except the folks in North Platte, Nebraska.
USA Today's Ad Meter on Super Bowl commercials has been tallying online votes on its website all night. As of this morning the Doritos slingshot baby was leading the pack, but a few other spots were not far behind. What was your favorite?
There appears to be a trend developing in regards to Super Bowl ads online. Many companies are releasing Super Bowl commercials on YouTube before the big game this year. Do you think this spoils the fun of watching the game?
"We'll be back right after this." Ever wonder what TV news anchors do when they cut to a commercial break? They've got maybe three minutes before they come back on. The mystery is over.
Whether you love football or not, everyone enjoys at least one part of the Super Bowl -- the commercials! Doritos has become well known for some hysterical Super Bowl ads produced by people just like you and me! Check out the finalists in this year's contest!
Thanksgiving doesn't really bring the idea of commercials to mind, but there are some humorous and heartwarming spots out there celebrating turkey day. Check these out!

Understanding how thoughts of mortality influence individuals' beliefs sheds light on the commonalities among different groups' motivations and could help ease tensions between opposing viewpoints, according to University of Missouri experiments that tested the relationship between awareness of death and belief in a higher power. The study found that thoughts of death increased atheists, Christians, Muslims and agnostics conviction in their own world views. For example, contrary to the wartime aphorism that there are no atheists in foxholes, thoughts of death did not cause atheists to express belief in a deity.
"Our study suggests that atheists' and religious believers' world views have the same practical goal," said Kenneth Vail, lead author and doctoral student in psychological science in MU's College of Arts and Science. "Both groups seek a coherent world view to manage the fear of death and link themselves to a greater and immortal entity, such as a supreme being, scientific progress or a nation. If people were more aware of this psychological similarity, perhaps there might be more understanding and less conflict among groups with different beliefs."
His research suggests that morbid imagery, such as news headlines or caricatures of enemies in war propaganda, can reinforce nationalistic and/or religious ideals by keeping death on the mind and subconsciously encouraging denial of opposing ideologies. This research suggests that religious symbols and stories involving death, such as the crucifix, function psychologically to remind the faithful of mortality and subconsciously reinforce one particular world view to the exclusion of others.
For the study, Vail and his colleagues conducted a series of three experiments by first encouraging thoughts of death in study participants and analyzing their responses to a questionnaire. The first experiment examined Christians and atheists in the United States. The results suggested awareness

When the Bleeding Hearts Call for Bloodshed
The so-called conscientious were not calling for an end to the war, God forbid, but only to the taking of pleasure in the punishment, because punishment is the greatest pleasure that accompanies morality.
The Americans have disappointed us, and every moral human being, because the Syrian regime must be punished for slaughtering its own citizens with chemical weapons. It should have been punished even before it used chemical weapons. And chemical weapons must not become the sole focus, lest phosphorus become permissible, and phosphorus must not be treated specially, either, lest this sanction the use of live...

Recent research could help people facing obesity treatment by advising them of their tendancies before they embark on a diet.
Published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, the study revealed that people with the highest levels of leptin and lowest levels of ghrelin are the most likely to regain weight they lose through dieting.
The scientists looked at 104 overweight people who were following a hypocaloric diet.
They discovered that after eight weeks, those who had regained more than ten per cent of the weight initially lost were seen to have higher levels of leptin and lower levels of ghrelin.
Ana Belen Crujeiras, lead author of the research and a doctor at the University Hospital Complex of Santiago, explained: "There are patients who are susceptible to and others who are resistant to the benefits of a diet.
"It seems the way each patient responds to treatment is predetermined by their own characteristics."

Special to the Standard
NORTH KINGSTOWN – The sound of chainsaws filled the air Monday in Shore Acres, the popular waterfront community that's a mix of summer cottages and year-round homes between Fishing Cove and Narragansett Bay, south of Electric Boat.
A big tree was down at the corner of Camp Avenue and Asqah Drive.
While debris and damage from Tropical Storm Irene – streets from Camp to Shore Acres Avenue and all the numbered side lanes from First through Sixth were littered with limbs and branches – the major source of excitement was a 40-foot sailboat out of San Francisco that broke loose from its mooring and smashed against the rocks at Sauga Point on the southern end of the peninsula.
Peter Freick, a New Hampshire landscape architect who attended the University of Rhode Island and is working on a local project, was touring the coves and inlets in a motorized dinghy.
"I keep a boat in Wickford Harbor," he said, adding that he had seen another vessel on the beach at Poplar Point, near the lighthouse and directly across the harbor from Shore Acres. Freick tied up near the wrecked boat at Sauga Point and closely examined the damage.
"The deck and hull have been split apart [from bashing against the rocks.] The deck lifted and it split amidships. The propeller is bent. It's totaled."
He said the formerly magnificent vessel is worth "a couple hundred thousand dollars if not more."
No one knew who the owner is.
Anna Rotondo, a long-time resident who, with her next door neighbor, fled to the Warwick neighborhood of Cowesett before the storm, "got word of the boat late Sunday morning."
It was a dramatic sight behind her house. "It's exciting," she said
Rotondo and her neighbor both said their lawns, put in only two years ago, were "eaten up" by the corrosive salt spray and gravel-size stones hurled up over the seawall.
"A lot of people who have been here a long time and never leave boarded up and went."

RNA interference (RNAi) - Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) induced by the direct introduction of dsRNA. The term "RNA interference" was first used by researchers studying C. elegans.
siRNAs - Small interfering RNAs. Current models of PTGS indicate that these 21-23 nucleotide dsRNAs mediate PTGS. Introduction of siRNAs can induce PTGS in mammalian cells. siRNAs are apparently produced in vivo by cleavage of dsRNA introduced directly or via a transgene or virus. Amplification by an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) may occur in some organisms. siRNAs are incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), guiding the complex to the homologous endogenous mRNA where the complex cleaves the transcript.
The Biochemical Mechanism of RNAi
So how does injection of dsRNA lead to gene silencing? Many research groups have diligently worked over the last few years to answer this important question. A key finding by Baulcombe and Hamilton provided the first clue. They identified RNAs of ~25 nucleotides in plants undergoing cosuppression that were absent in non-silenced plants. These RNAs were complementary to both the sense and antisense strands of the gene being silenced (24).
Further work in Drosophila using embryo lysates
and an in vitro system derived from S2 cells shed more ligh

Study: Men See Cuddling As Key To A Happy Relationship
Study: Men See Cuddling As Key To A Happy Relationship
Study: Men See Cuddling As Key To A Happy Relationship
A new study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior finds that not only do men like to cuddle, but they believe it's an important ingredient to a happy, satisfying relationship.
Lead Kinsey Institute researcher, Julia Heiman, and her team questioned over 1,000 couples from the United States, Brazil, Germany, Japan and Spain, ages 40-70, that have either been married or living together for at least a year, with the average relationship span being 25 years. Of these couples, Japanese and Brazilian women were "more likely than U.S. women to report being sexually satisfied," while "middle-age men in Japan report 2.61 times more sexual satisfaction in their relationships" than U.S. men do. eHarmony Founder Says 'Don't Get Married'
Most interesting, the men in the study reported cuddling, caressing, kissing and tenderness to be more important to their relationship happiness than women did. They were also happier in their relationships if they were in good health and could bring their partner to orgasm.
Women, on the other hand, based their relationship happiness on the sexual relationships they have with their partner, and the study found women were more satisfied with their sex life the longer they were together with their partner.
However, both men and women "were more satisfied with their sexual relationship if they had sex more frequently, had higher sexual functioning and kissed and cuddled frequently." YourTango Quickies: What A Man's Finger Length Says About Him

Oak Creek - The city has denied Mark Verhalen's claim for a $1,160 reimbursement for damage caused to his property when a firework from the city's Fourth of July display started his field on fire.
The Small Claims Committee made the decision yesterday, advising Verhalen to file his complaint with Spielbauer Fireworks, the company that set off the fireworks.
Verhalen's field started on fire about 9:30 p.m. July 4. A neighbor reported the fire to the Fire Department, and residents living near Verhalen's home, located at 1200 E. Ryan Road, were evacuated. The fire was extinguished in 15 minutes by the Oak Creek Fire Department.
Oak Creek officials asked Verhalen to keep them apprised of the matter and said they hoped this would be a speedy recovery for Verhalen.
There is no word yet on where Verhalen stands in filing a complaint with Spielbauer Fireworks.

First-year Biology, Ecology, Zoology, and Clinical Laboratory Science majors started their college careers a little early this year. Not in a classroom…but at the Schoodic Education and Research Center (SERC) nestled on the coast of Acadia National Park. SERC is an independent nonprofit organization created to foster greater understanding and respect for nature by facilitating research and learning opportunities for the community.
The Schoodic Experience is a three-day trip offered to incoming SBE students in fulfillment of the biological science orientation course, NFA 117. But as the students witnessed, the trip provided more than just credits towards their majors; it provided a head start to the transition to college. Students had the opportunity to explore their majors in an out of classroom experience, where they were able to meet their professors, fellow peers, and graduate student before classes even begin.
"The goal of the trip is to create a community of SBE majors so that they might have a support network as soon as they start on campus," said Farahad Dastoor, the organizer of the trip as well as the Professor of Biology. "The idea being that the more comfortable they felt and the more resources they were aware of, the easier the transition to UMaine would be." And for many students, the trip did precisely that.
"I would absolutely recommend this trip to incoming freshman in the department," said Caroline Spangenberg, a first year Zoology major. "My favorite part about the Schoodic Experience was being able to meet students my age who are entering similar majors…A few of them that I met on the trip have become my closest friends here on campus, and I am very grateful to have been given the opportunity to create relationships with them."
Students had the choice of a variety of field excursions throughout the trip. Excursions were led by SBE faculty members and included the following topics: Aquatic Insects of Schoodic, Marine Algae of Schoodic, Plants of Coastal Maine, Ecological Changes from the Ocean to the Land, and Reading the landscape: How the Past Shapes the Ecology of the Present. During down time, students had the opportunity to play sports, participate in activities and games, and enjoy evening movies. Students had the opportunity to meet with their academic advisor, which helps students acclimate to the academic environment, and begin planning for their futures.
Dear Colleagues in the University of Maine Community and Beyond,
We were very saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Bill Glanz, associate professor in the School of Biology and Ecology (SBE) and Cooperating faculty in the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Conservation Biology (WLE). Bill passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on June 14, 2014 in San Diego, CA.
Click here to view Bill's obituary, which highlights a life well traveled.
As many of you know, Bill was an outstanding teacher and mentor during his 34 years on the UMaine faculty. He continued to share his passion and expertise in natural history, birds, and mammals with students, colleagues and the public up to his departure from campus and Maine this past November. We are comforted by the wonderful memories of Bill as a gifted teacher and scientist, naturalist, and valued friend. For those of you who would like some way to express your condolences to the family and/or contribute to Bill's remembrance, you are welcome to join in the following:
1. Cards, notes, and remembrances are being collected by the SBE office to pass along to the family. We would like to have all materials collected by July 11.
2. We are also collecting contributions for the Orono Boardwalk. Please see the description of the gift below that was provided by Jim Bird. (Bill's daughter wished to support the Boardwalk given Bill's dedication to it). Checks should be made payable to : The University of Maine Foundation, bog campaign Glanz in the memo line.
Bill Glanz was a strong supporter of the Orono Bog Boardwalk. He helped build the Boardwalk and from 2004 to 2013 during the first weekend in May he led (or co-led) a very popular morning migratory bird walk in the Rolland F. Perry City Forest and on the Boardwalk. He would take his students to the Boardwalk to teach them about the natural history of a northern peat bog. In honor of Bill we want to collect funds ($1,000+) so that we can sponsor a new Boardwalk section in his name. The new section will be put in next year during Phase 2 of the Boardwalk reconstruction. It will be in an area that Bill would visit to view the annually returning spruce grouse (Falcipennis canadensis). (Jim Bird)
Contributions to the Boardwalk, and letters, cards, and remembrances may be left with Sue Anderson in SBE (100 Murray Hall) or Katherine Goodine in WLE (210 Nutting Hall).
Dr. Benildo de los Reyes, Professor of Molecular Genetics and cooperating faculty member of the Department of Molecular and Biomedical Sciences, arrived at the University of Maine in 2004. He runs a functional genomics lab, in which he uses plants as a model system to understand genetic regulatory networks that allow plants to adapt to various environmental conditions. Specifically, his lab looks at effects of low temperature stress and dehydration as well as disease causing microorganisms and insect herbivores.
With an interest in molecular plant genetics and the tools to effectively explore them, this lab is motivated and well equipped to contribute to the growing pool of knowledge in the world of molecular genetics. While advancing his own research, Dr. de los Reyes is currently advising four graduate students, and hosting an international researcher from the Philippines.
"An emerging paradigm within agricultural breeding practices is actually going back to wild species to obtain some of the genetic background that has been lost through the centuries of breeding practices." -Myles Butler
Myles Butler, currently pursuing a master's degree in Botany and Plant Pathology, is working in Dr. de los Reyes' lab. He was inspired to pursue a graduate degree after taking Dr. de los Reyes' Principles of Genetics course during his undergraduate studies.
Butlers project intends to reveal cellular mechanisms that provide resistance within potatoes to both the disease late blight and infestation of a common pest, the aphid. He describes his approach as "a no stone left unturned" approach, trying to identify key genetic signatures within the potato that could contribute to resistance or an absence of signatures that could be associated with susceptibility.
In order to do so, Butler is exploring regulatory networks that modulate a cell's activity in response to a pathogen. A technique utilized for this project is RNA-seq, which enables him to generate genetic sequences, allowing for the identification of unique genes. This technique allows for scientists to see every gene that is being expressed within a plant at a given point, which is important for comparing between time periods and conditions.
"A common theme in Dr. de los Reyes' research is to characterize the wild species that show these traits of resistance to abiotic or biotic stresses and trying to integrate these traits into the cultivars so we can have much stronger resistance and stress tolerant plants in agriculture." –Myles Butler
Ai Kitazumi, a PhD student also working under Dr. de los Reyes, started her undergraduate degree program at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor before coming to the University of Maine where she is pursuing her graduate degree.
Kitazumi's research project is relatively new, ambitious and aims to
understand the evolution of regulatory networks during domestication. Using wild species of common crop plants, mainly rice and potatoes, she is looking at what kinds of genes were left behind during domestication that are responsible for dealing with environmental stress responses.
Although the study of molecular genetics is highly specific, it can be translated into our everyday lives through agriculture. Rice is an excellent model system for scientists to use for research because of its small and well-categorized genome, which makes genetic modification easier.
"What I like about my research is that I'm trained for many purposes…I used to just look at one gene…what the function of it is, how the gene responds, what does its sequence mean. Now I have been trained to profile 30,000 genes at the same time…I have fun trying to keep each genes specific story intact when looking at a large number of genes." –Ai Kitazumi.
During domestication of common crop species, genes are selected for a variety of purposes, such as palatability and shape, and by doing so, genes are left behind that are useful in other ways. A focus in Dr. de los Reyes' lab is looking at genes that facilitate resistance to stress and disease. Wild species are stronger in this aspect; the cultivated plants need pesticides and the use of fertilizers. If these genes that were left in the past were reintroduced into the genome of these species, there could be a lesser need for pesticides and fertilizers in our cultivation process.
Kitazumi recently completed a highly competitive two-month long International Collaborative Research Fellowship Award at the National Institute of Genetics at Mishima, Shizuoka, Japan.
Jasper Alpuerto came to the University of Maine from the Philippines after meeting Dr. de los Reyes, who at the time was on his sabbatical leave from UMaine. Majoring in agronomy with a focus in plant breeding in his undergraduate studies, Jasper was intrigued by Dr. de los Reyes research which inspired him to apply to graduate school at UMaine.
His current research is a follow-up of a previous project done by Ananya Mukherjee involving a gene, vacuolar-processing enzyme (VPE), which is found to be involved in a plants defense response during aphid feeding and late blight infection. He is using a reverse genetic approach to study Arabidopsis thaliana, a common model species, in order to clarify the role of VPE in response to aphid feeding. Alpuerto plans on using his knowledge in molecular biology and genomics in order to continue his work in applied breeding practices.
"I think we are in need of another Green revolution… the population is increasing and the land is decreasing, we need food everyday, and I want to be a part of the community that produces food for everyone…" –Jasper Alpuerto
His research is exploring the effect of mutations in calcium regulatory proteins on cardiac rhythmicity in Drosophila, fruit flies. His project involves a variety of techniques including culture maintenance, fly heartbeat monitoring using microscope-phototransistor system, RNAi, and cardiac rhythmicity data analysis.
Jay is a high achieving academic student in the School of Biology & Ecology, and has received a wide range of awards throughout his time at UMaine including highest GPA for a third year student in the School of Biology & Ecology. Recently, he was awarded the INBRE Functional Genomics Fellowship, an extremely competitive fellowship awarded to a forth year Honors student working on a thesis related to biomedical research in comparative functional genomics.
In May, Jay will be defending his Honors Thesis and is currently deciphering what his academic future has in store for him. He is in the process of applying to graduate schools around the country, where he hopes to study molecular biology or stem cell research. Both topics of interest are related to the research he has been conducting. "I just find those topics fascinating…there is a huge world out there" Jay explained with a spark of excitement in his eyes.
After scrolling though the faculty profiles on the SBE website, Jay became interested in Dr. Dusty Dowse's lab and his research on cardiac rhythmicity. He became a volunteer during the summer after his freshmen year at UMaine, and has continued to conduct research there for the past two years. Dr. Dowse has had the pleasure of working with Jay for three and a half years now, and during this time was able to see Jay transform from a volunteer in his lab, to an independent researcher.
"Jay has gone from saying, "How do I do this?" to "Why am I doing this?" Jay has taken an active role in planning his project and doing the background research. He has become more of a leader in his own research" says Dowse.
Working in a lab is a great way for students to gain hands on experience and prepare themselves for their future careers. It also gives students the opportunity to form a connection with their professors, which is often difficult due to class size.
"A lot of the science classes are really big, so it's hard to have a more personal interaction with your professor. But working in the lab you get to know the professor better, and they get to know you better. Whenever I have questions, I can bring it to Dusty. I believe that personal interactions are very important for academic achievement," explains Jay.
Dr. Dowse had similar advice to give to undergraduate students hoping to enhance their undergraduate academic experience.
"Generally speaking, in any level, including the professional level, doing something that is directly related to where the information you are absorbing comes from is important. If all you are doing is reading from textbooks, you are not getting a good idea for why these things are happening…. Science is not a belief, you don't believe in science. If you are actually out there in the real world doing the work…you begin to get a real feel for what 1,000 years of science has led to."
Congratulations to Jinlun Bai on his academic excellence, and we wish him the best of luck with the remainder of his time at the University of Maine.
Congratulations to SBE graduate student Krista Slemmons on receiving a faculty position! Slemmons accepted a position at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point this fall semester where she is teaching biology courses, as well as conducting research and supervising biology student teachers during their teaching experience.
Slemmons received her undergraduate degree at Denison University with a B.S in Biology, and received her master's degree from Miami University in environmental science as well as Wright State University. Slemmons studied at the University of Maine to receive her Ph.D. in Ecology & Environmental Science.
During her time at the University of Maine, Slemmons research focused on artic & alpine lakes that were fed by glaciers using pale- ecological and modern techniques to do so. Her research focused on diatoms, an extremely temperature sensitive species of algae, and how they were affected through time as glaciers continue to recede. During a research project her first summer at the University of Maine, she preformed a lake experiment in the Bear tooth mountains located in Southern Montana. Using modern techniques, she used carbon-14 uptake experiments to measure the productivity of the algae in a glacier fed lakes and a "snow fed" lake. She also preformed nutrient enrichment experiments, in which she would add nutrients to both the glacier fed lakes and the snow fed lakes to see how the algae would respond. In order to compare changes that occur to the algae communities before and after, and how they change as the glaciers change, they looked at a core dated as far back as 3,000 years ago. She also had the opportunity to look at a 9,000-year-old core from East Greenland, a project that was in collaboration with the department of earth sciences.
Slemmons explained the monumental influences Umaine had on her career, and expressed a great appreciation for the climate change institute as well as the School of Biology and Ecology for giving her an interdisciplinary approach to science, as well as a broader interpretation of the world around her. "These programs opened up my mind and gave me new insight into how the world really works," says Slemmons.
During Slemmons' time here, she was a teaching assistant for Biology 100 & 200, received the Chase distinguished Research Assistantship, the Correll Fellowship, and a National Park Service Fellowship.
We wish Krista Slemmons and her family the best of luck in Wisconsin!
The Schoodic Experience is part of the SBE biological science orientation course, NFA 117, offered to freshmen Biology, Ecology, Zoology, and Clinical Laboratory Science majors. But as the students of this trip found, the three day trip to the Schoodic Education and Research Center in Acadia National Park was much more than just an orientation course. Students had the opportunity to explore their major in an out of classroom experience, where they were able to meet their professors, fellow peers, and graduate students that many will have as a TA for a variety of laboratory classes.
Every year SBE faculty lead different workshops and lectures, giving students the opportunity to see a variety of different areas of study. Field excursions went for 90-120 minutes, and students were given the choice of which excursions they would like to attend.
Brian Olsen, assistant professor of Biology & Ecology, led a field excursion titled "Birds of Schoodic". Students were taught how to identify birds using a field guide, as well as the thought process required to identify a hypothesis using the scientific method in a real applicable situation. Ann Dieffenbacher, Assistant director for Administration, led a field excursion to a near by bog to study the climate and ecological history of Schoodic using samples from the soil. Clarissa Henry, associate professor of biological sciences, gave a demonstration on zebra fish, showing her students how to identify mutant zebra fish embryos using dissecting microscopes. Seth Tyler, professor of Zoology, led an intertidal pool walk titled "Life in the Intertidal Zone", where students collected many organisms for identification. During down time, students had the oppurtunity to play sports, participate in activities and games, and enjoy evening movies.
Farahad Dastoor, the organizer of the Schoodic trip as well as the Professor of Biology explains how the trip enhances incoming students overall experience.
"The idea behind taking students to Schoodic as part of their NFA 117 experience…is to give them a better chance of bonding with each other and meeting a few more faculty as well as their advisor. Students who choose to take this version of NFA 117 usually score better on academic work. We think this is because they have formed a tight group with other first year students on whom they can rely on for help and support. Schoodic students hit the academic treadmill quicker and more prepared."
Researchers in SBE as well as the Engineering Department are taking advantage of radio-controlled planes to solve the mysteries of bird migration. Brian Barainca, a mechanical engineering student, has been building radio-controlled (RC) planes ever since he was in high school. When SBE Professor Rebecca Holberton saw him flying his RC planes on campus, she called upon him to help with bird migration research, and it has been an adventure ever since.Ani Varjabedian, a student in SBE's Zoology program, was working in Professor Holberton's acoustics lab and started working on the RC plane project in order to bring a biological perspective to it. "I'm interested in using the plane to test different altitudes of bird flight and where we can see the most birds," explained Varjabedian. The goal of using a plane to observe bird migration is to view birds without disturbance and at a closer proximity. "You have to get pretty close to birds when you view them on the ground, which could disturb them," explained Barainca, "but with the plane you can step back and get to where you need to go." In this way, the plane reduces error by eliminating human presence from observation.
The plane works via a remote control by someone on the ground. A camera on the front of the plane sends live video footage to the controller in order for the controller to see exactly where the plane is going. Although the current camera on the plane is great for live viewing, Barainca hopes to get a new camera that is higher quality for recording. Also, the camera is not equipped to see if there are birds right below the plane, which Barainca hopes to also improve.
The researchers ideally want to survey shorebird populations and find migration patterns. The plane will hopefully be able to track birds with radio frequency signals. Tagging birds with radio tags has not been successful in the past because researchers don't necessarily know where the birds go. If the plane can detect tagged birds it will be monumental for migration research.
Barainca is obsessed with aircraft. Although he already knew how to build planes, his engineering education has helped him apply what he has learned to biology. "Airplanes brought me to mechanical engineering, and my major has helped me analyze stress on the plane," he said. Best of luck to Professor Holberton, Ani Varjabedian and Brian Barainca as they soar to a new level of bird research.
The purpose of the course is to be able to identify species of birds by sight and sound, and to be able to understand how specific birds are related to each other and how they are adapted to the environment. "I like the lectures because they are a lot of fun. I love learning about birds. They are unlike any other species on earth…I had heard that this class was the most sought after undergraduate ecology class at UMaine. I knew that it would be interesting, because I had Brian Olsen as a professor in BIO 100 & 200" explains Dana Freshley, a student studying communication with a minor in biology. This course allows students to see how all the interdisciplinary aspects of an organism's environment play a role in the interaction of all living organisms.
"Biology is often taught through reductionism. Students learn about each system and biological mechanism isolated from all of the other things going on at the same time…The beauty of organismal sciences is that we get to talk about the nexus among the biological sub disciplines using a single organism as a semester long case study…I think that adds a needed flavor to how a student then interprets their other classes" explains Olsen.
In the lab, which is not a requirement, Olsen gives his students exposure to some of the major methods currently used by avian biologists. These methods provide students with pertinent skills by teaching his students identification skills without relying on a guidebook, or an iPhone, though these things are great resources for ecologist currently. Along with knowledge of general fieldwork procedure, the course exposes students to Program R (a very common program used by biologists), mist netting and capturing techniques, and how to use the necessary technology for ornithology, such as radio telemetry. These necessary skills provide students with building blocks for future work with birds in the eastern North America.
Olsen assigns his students a semester long project that will help improve their ability to construct a formal research paper. Students are able to design a field project, and analyze the data using the Program R mentioned above. Throughout the semester, students present on their research project, giving them multiple opportunities to receive input from their professor as well as their classmates. Dana Freshley and India Stewart, both current students in Avian Biology& Ecology, decided to do their research on the American Crow. Their project involves fieldwork in which they visit 6 birding spots a week, testing population habitat as a function of temperature. They will be presenting their results in a few weeks.
Olsen's love for Avian Studies was sparked during a summer field job he acquired in the summer before his sophomore year college. He became a field site surveyor in the White Mountains, and from this experience his love for avian studies began to emerge. Olsen described his passion for Avian Studies as "A slow growing love."
"Brian always keeps you alert, attentive, and he uses his sense of humor to teach his class. He always looks at the broader picture of ecology which makes him a great ecologist," says Dana, a student of Olsen.
Olsen has been a valued member of our SBE Faculty since 2008. He has been teaching this course for five years, and he is still surprised and delighted by the diverse ways students handle difficult questions. "I really enjoy watching students grapple with open ended scenarios…when we work on hypothetical applications of biological theory, especially when students construct and defend answers that were far removed from what I expected" said Olsen. Olsen runs a research lab called "The Olsen Lab" with help from several undergraduate and graduate students. The research he focuses on in his Avian Biology course is not directly correlated to his personal research, though he does recruit potential students for his research in the Olsen Lab.
"In terms of research, I find a deep abiding joy by indulging my own intellectual curiosity and working with graduate students is deeply rewarding…to work with some of the best students form the undergraduate pool …allows for both the teaching relationship and the abilities of the students to grow. It is a pretty awesome experience."
Good luck to Professor Olsen and his students as they finish up the rest of their semester.
