Ian Sample Science editor Humans buy flowers. Capuchins throw stones. Giant tortoises bellow. But the blue-capped cordon bleu, a small finch found in Africa, really knows how to win over a mate. The three-inch-high omnivores perform energetic cabaret acts to woo their partners, rattling through routines that feature head-bobbing, singing and tap dance, and often all three at once. The birds were known to sing and nod their heads to impress the opposite sex, but high speed video footage has now revealed that they spice up their displays with nifty footwork that adds percussion to their repertoire and sends vibrations racing down their perches. Scientists at Hokkaido University filmed the birds as they tried their luck with cagemates, and found that both males and females turned to tap to seduce their targets. The steps have not been seen before because they are too fast for the naked eye to spot. "Like humans, males and females of cordon-bleus are mutually choosy and both sexes need to show off," said Masayo Soma who lead the research. "They show tap dancing throughout the courtship display, and they sometimes add songs to tap dancing." Whether the steps and songs are coordinated is the focus of ongoing research. Footage of the birds in cabaret mode showed that an entire routine could include more than 200 steps in bursts of anything from five seconds to more than a minute. Both males and females danced more vigorously when their mate was on the same perch. Males danced more often and tapped their feet faster, but apart from that, the sexes had similar moves. © 2015 Guardian News and Media Limited

Ewen Callaway A long stretch of DNA called a supergene explains the variety of bizarre tactics that a wading bird species deploys to win mates, a pair of genome-sequencing studies concludes1, 2. Common to marshes and wet meadows in northern Europe and Asia, ruffs (Philomachus pugnux) are named after the decorative collars popular in Renaissance Europe. But the birds' poufy plumage is not the only baroque aspect of their biology. Males gather at mass breeding grounds where they juke, jump and lunge toward other males, in hopes of winning females. Male ruffs belong to one of three different forms, each with a unique approach to mating. 'Independent' males, with hodgepodge of brown and black neck feathers, are territorial and defend their bit of the breeding ground. White-feathered 'satellite' males, by contrast, invade the turf of independents to steal nearby females. A third, rarer form, called 'faeders' (Old English for father), take advantage of their resemblance to female ruffs to interrupt coital encounters. "They dash in and jump on the female before the territorial males does," says Terry Burke, an evolutionary biologist at University of Sheffield, UK. "My colleague describes this as the 'sandwich'. You end up with the territorial male jumping on the back of the mimic." Burke was part of a team that, in 1995, found that the different approaches of male ruffs were caused by a single inherited factor3. But it seemed improbable that one gene could trigger such wide-ranging differences in behaviour and appearance. © 2015 Nature Publishing Group

By Virginia Morell You and your partner are hungry, but your favorite pizza parlor will only let your mate in to dine. What do you do? If you're a great tit (Parus major), a songbird found from Europe to Northern Asia, you wait by yourself, even though theoretically you would be better off looking for food elsewhere, scientists have discovered. To find out whether the small birds, pictured above, prefer food or hanging out with their mates, the researchers conducted a series of experiments with a long-studied population of wild great tits in the United Kingdom. They set up 12 feeding stations that would only open to great tits wearing particular radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. Half of the stations unlocked only to birds with even-numbered RFID tags; the others opened to great tits wearing odd-numbered tags. The scientists randomly outfitted 10 mated pairs of the birds with identical tags so that they could enter the stations and feed together; and seven pairs with incompatible tags, so that one was locked out. They followed the birds for 90 days, recording 66,184 visits to the feeders. The pairs with the incompatible tags spent almost four times longer at the prohibited feeders than did the compatible pairs—even though one bird was stuck outside, the scientists report today in Current Biology. Other studies have shown that birds may forage in flocks, despite having less to eat, because there are other benefits, such as having others to help watch for or defend against predators. But this is the first experimental study to show that wild birds will choose their mate over food—a decision that also determines where they travel and what other individuals they associate with, which could affect their social rank, the scientists say. Many of the locked-out birds learned a new trick, too. After a great tit with the correct RFID code entered a feeder, the door didn't slam shut for 2 seconds—just enough time for one of the incompatible birds to slip in and join his sweetie. © 2015 American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Lauren Morello When Fiona Ingleby took to Twitter last April to vent about a journal's peer-review process, she didn't expect much of a response. With only around 100 followers on the social-media network, Ingleby — an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Sussex near Brighton, UK — guessed that she might receive a few messages of support or commiseration from close colleagues. What she got was an overwhelming wave of reaction. In four pointed tweets, Ingleby detailed her frustration with a PLoS ONE reviewer who tried to explain away her findings on gender disparities in the transition from PhD to postdoc. He suggested that men had "marginally better health and stamina", and that adding "one or two male biologists" as co-authors would improve the analysis. The response was a full-fledged 'Twitterstorm' that spawned more than 5,000 retweets, a popular hashtag — #addmaleauthorgate — and a public apology from the journal. "Things went really mental," Ingleby says. "I had to turn off the Twitter notifications on my e-mail." Yet her experience is not as unusual as it may seem. Social media has enabled an increasingly public discussion about the persistent problem of sexism in science. When a male scientist with the European Space Agency (ESA) wore a shirt patterned with half-naked women to a major media event in November 2014, Twitter blazed with criticism. The site was where the first reports surfaced in June of Nobel Prizewinning biologist Tim Hunt's self-confessed "trouble with girls" in laboratories. And in mid-October, many astronomers took to Twitter to register their anger and disappointment when the news broke that Geoffrey Marcy, an exoplanet hunter at the University of California, Berkeley, was found to have sexually harassed female subordinates for at least a decade. © 2015 Nature Publishing Group

Natasha Gilbert The eye-catching plumage of some male songbirds has long been explained as a result of sexual selection: brighter males compete more successfully for mates, so evolution favours their spread. Females, by contrast, remain drab. A new study turns this explanation on its head. Sexual-selection pressures drive females to evolve dull feathers more strongly than they drive males to become colourful, argues James Dale, an evolutionary ecologist at Massey University in Auckland, New Zealand. That surprising conclusion is based on a data set of plumage colour in nearly 6,000 songbirds, which Dale and his colleagues built. They used their data to ask how various potential evolutionary factors drive male and female plumage colour. If a particular songbird species was polygynous (that is, the males had more than one mate), displayed a large difference in size between males and females, and left care of the young mainly up to the females, then the researchers judged that sexual selection was likely to be an important factor in that species' evolution. The study, published in Nature1, found that sexual selection does play an important role in creating colour differences between male and female plumage. But the contrast is largely driven by females evolving to become drab. "Females are the chief architect of the difference," says Dale. © 2015 Nature Publishing Group

Claire Cain Miller Boys are falling behind. They graduate from high school and attend college at lower rates than girls and are more likely to get in trouble, which can hurt them when they enter the job market. This gender gap exists across the United States, but it is far bigger for poor people and for black people. As society becomes more unequal, it seems, it hurts boys more. New research from social scientists offers one explanation: Boys are more sensitive than girls to disadvantage. Any disadvantage, like growing up in poverty, in a bad neighborhood or without a father, takes more of a toll on boys than on their sisters. That realization could be a starting point for educators, parents and policy makers who are trying to figure out how to help boys — particularly those from black, Latino and immigrant families. "It's something about family disadvantage itself," said David Figlio, a Northwestern University economist and co-author of a new paper, presented publicly for the first time on Thursday. "Black people in America are more disadvantaged than white people in America, and if we were to reduce the disadvantage, we may see a reduction in the relative gender gap as well." Marianne Bertrand, an economist at University of Chicago who with Jessica Pan has studied the gender gap, also found that boys fare worse than girls in disadvantaged homes, and are more responsive than girls to parental time and resources. "Their findings were very consistent: Families that invest more in children are protective for boys," she said. The reasons that boys react more negatively to disadvantage are varied and hard to pinpoint. Even in utero, boys are more sensitive to extreme stress than girls, and tend to have more unruly temperaments. Society discourages boys from showing vulnerability. Low-income families are often led by single mothers, which has been found to affect boys differently than girls. © 2015 The New York Times Company

By Bob Grant Scientists delving into the neurological underpinnings of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are finding that there may be crucial differences in the long-term effects of the events that depend not only on the insult, but also on the victim. "No two brain injuries are identical," University of Pennsylvania neuroscientist Akiva Cohen said during a press conference held at the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) annual meeting in Chicago on Monday (October 19). "Brain injury, like many pathologies these days, constitutes a spectrum." In addition to a severity spectrum that spans mild to severe, brain injuries may differ in terms of how male and female animals respond to them, according to Ramesh Raghupathi, a neurobiologist at Drexel University. Raghupathi and his colleagues have found that young male mice suffer more depressive behaviors than female mice at both four and eight weeks after mild TBI, and females display more headache-like symptoms after similar insults, which can include concussion. "All of these animals at these times after injury are cognitively normal," Raghupathi told reporters. "And they do not have any movement problems." Raghupathi and his colleagues also found molecular differences that may underlie the sex differences in TBI response that they observed. "In the male mice," he said, "there is a dramatic difference in dopamine transmission" compared to the uninjured mice." Researchers have previously linked impaired dopamine signaling to depression. Raghupathi's team tested for the lingering effects of TBI in mice by subjecting the animals to certain swimming tests—which are accepted as proxies for depression—and by using a thin filament to touch the faces of the rodents and recording their sensitivity as a measure of headache-like behaviors.

By JAMES GORMAN No offense to tenors, but outside of opera, a high male voice is seldom, if ever, considered seductive. Scientific research has shown that women find deep male voices attractive, and the same is true in other species, like howler monkeys. Stories from Our Advertisers But evolution is often stingy in its gifts, and researchers investigating male competition to reproduce have discovered an intriguing trade-off in some species of howler monkeys: the deeper the call, the smaller the testicles. Jacob Dunn of Cambridge University, one of the leaders of the research, said that species evolved either to make lower-frequency sounds, or have larger testicles, but none had both a very low sound and very large testicles. "It's a great study," said Stuart Semple, an evolutionary anthropologist at the University of Roehampton in London who was not involved in the research. "It shows this really clear trade-off." Dr. Dunn and other researchers, including W. Tecumseh Fitch, of the University of Vienna, and Leslie A. Knapp, of the University of Utah, studied the size of a bone in the vocal apparatus, which is directly related to how deep the calls are, and the size of testicles, to come up for averages in nine species of howlers. They had been intrigued by great variations in both the size of the howlers' hyoid bones in museum collections and in the size of the monkeys' testicles as seen in the field. Dr. Knapp said that some of them are large enough that they are quite obvious "when you look up into the trees." They used the museum samples of the bone and living monkeys in zoos for testicle measurements, and reported their findings Thursday in the journal Current Biology. © 2015 The New York Times Company

By Hanae Armitage CHICAGO, ILLINOIS—When prairie voles choose a mate, there's no turning back—the "love chemical" oxytocin increases in their brains and they devote themselves to only each other. Although scientists have observed the behavioral and chemical side of prairie vole love, the neural networks behind commitment are still a mystery. Now, a group of scientists are working toward clearing up the neuronal backdrop of long-term love, and yesterday, presented their findings here at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience. Studies have long suggested the nucleus accumbens, a part of the brain involved in reward processing, plays a crucial role in this type of devotion. To get a better look at the neuronal activity of this region, the scientists mounted a small-scale microscope that monitors calcium flux on top of a male prairie vole's head (the more calcium into the neuron, the more neuronal activity). They saw that when male prairie voles interacted with their special lady vole, neuronal activity in the nucleus accumbens jumped 20% compared with when they interacted with a random female. Upon closer inspection, scientists saw that specific neurons that fired when the voles interacted with their mates stayed silent when they interacting with a different female. The result, though preliminary, indicates that mates stimulate the brain's reward center in ways that nonmates cannot. © 2015 American Association for the Advancement of Science.

By Nicholas Bakalar Sleep apnea may be even more dangerous for women than for men, a new study suggests. Epidemiological studies have linked sleep apnea to heart disease in men, but the differences in risk between men and women have been largely unexplored. For the current study, researchers measured sleep quality electronically in 737 men and 879 women, average age 63, who were free of cardiovascular disease at the start of the study. They also tested all of them for troponin T, a protein that can be released into the bloodstream if the heart is damaged, and whose presence in otherwise healthy people indicates an increased risk for heart disease. They tracked the participants for 14 years, recording incidents of coronary artery disease, heart failure and death from cardiovascular disease or other causes. The study was published in Circulation. Obstructive sleep apnea was independently associated with increased troponin T, heart failure and death in women, but not in men. And in women, but not men, sleep apnea was associated with an enlarged heart, another risk factor for cardiovascular disease. "Most people who have sleep apnea have a lot of other risks for heart disease," said the lead author, Dr. Amil M. Shah, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard. "But in women, the relationship between sleep apnea and heart disease persisted even after accounting for the other risks." "Even among women with sleep apnea who don't get heart failure," he continued, "it's associated with changes in the heart that lead to worse outcomes." © 2015 The New York Times Company

Sara Reardon Naked mole rats are among the ugliest creatures in the animal kingdom, and they engage in acts that seem repulsive — such as eating one another's, and their own, faeces. Now researchers have found one biological motivation for this behaviour. When a queen mole rat's subordinates feed on her hormone-filled faeces, the resulting oestrogen boost causes the beta rats to take care of the queen's pups, according to results presented on 18 October at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Chicago, Illinois. Like bees, naked mole rats live in eusocial colonies, with only one queen rat and a few males that can reproduce. The rest of the colony consists of dozens of infertile subordinates that help with tasks such as foraging and defending the nest. The subordinate rats also take care of the queen's pups as though the babies were their own: they build the nests, lick the pups and keep them warm with their body heat. Because they have no mature sex organs, subordinate rats cannot produce the hormones that would usually drive parenting behaviour. To look at what generates the rats' caring ways, animal biologist Akiyuki Watarai and behavioural scientist Takefumi Kikusui at Azabu University in Japan played recordings of crying mole-rat pups to subordinate rats. Animals whose queens had just given birth paid more attention to the crying than those from other groups, suggesting that the pregnancy itself triggered subordinates' maternal instincts. © 2015 Nature Publishing Group

By Brook Borel and Spectrum In a lab in Sacramento, California, a wall of plastic boxes lined with corncob bedding holds around 800 mice. Even in this clean and bright room, the smell of so many mice concentrated in one place is overpowering — pungent, and familiar to anyone who has spent time with a pet hamster or gerbil. Most of the boxes hold four adult mice, which flit about, noses twitching as they stare out at the humans staring in. But in one of the boxes, a sleek white mouse is tucked in a corner suckling her litter of half a dozen or so squirmy, dark-furred pups. In most research labs, the fate of these pups would be determined by their sex. The males would spend their lives as test subjects. The females would either be kept for breeding or simply euthanized because they're not ideal for experiments: They're supposedly more difficult to work with and generate less consistent data than males do, and it costs too much to maintain both males and females, which must be housed separately. Or so the rationale has gone. But these little female pups are different. The lab where they live is run by Jill Silverman and Mu Yang, researchers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) MIND Institute. The two scientists study the behavior of about 15 autism mouse models, and they have always included both males and females in their work. When the pups get older, they will learn to paddle through water mazes or bury black marbles in their bedding, giving researchers insight into how their memory and behavior compare with that of typical mice. Finding the best animal behavioral models of autism is essential because behavior is at the heart of the disorder. In people, autism is diagnosed based on behavioral criteria: abnormal social interactions, difficulties with communication and repetitive actions. © 2015 Scientific American

Kerri Smith Scientists have discovered two extra neurons in a worm species that — they thought — already had its entire nervous system mapped. "It is a bit of a shock," says Richard Poole, a developmental biologist at University College London (UCL), and one of the team that found the neurons by accident. The researchers call them mystery cells of the male, or MCMs, because they are found only in male nematode worms. The neurons help the worms learn when to prioritize mating over eating, revealing how a seemingly simple brain can be capable of a complex learned behaviour — and one that differs between the sexes. Caenorhabditis elegans worms are the model animal of choice for many neuroscientists, because their neural circuits are so simple that they can be mapped in full. They have two sexes: hermaphrodite and male. Hermaphrodites, the best studied, have just 302 neurons, but males have more — the MCMs raise their total to 385 neurons1. The two 'mystery' cells were discovered when Poole's colleague at UCL, Arantza Barrios, was looking at the distribution of a peptide often found in neurons, called pdf-1. She saw cells light up where she thought they should not — near the worm's nose. The neurons develop when male worms reach maturity, the researchers worked out. Their report is published in Nature1.

By SINDYA N. BHANOO Tiny nematode worms called Caenorhabditis elegans have a peculiar reproductive story: Most females are hermaphrodites that make sperm, self-fertilize and produce more hermaphrodites. Males are few, and are known to mate with each other. Now, a new study reports that a variation in a single gene results in male worms with excretory pores that attract the sexual attentions of other males. "Other males copulate with this excretory pore, located on the neck," said Matthew Rockman, a biologist at New York University. He and his colleagues reported their findings in the journal Current Biology. Although male worms are rare in the wild, they are easily bred in the laboratory. Researchers report that the gene variant, known as plep-1, may somehow be altering the chemical profile of the excretions in a way that makes them more attractive to other males. Copulation often does not work out well for the male that is approached, Dr. Rockman said. Males that mate with the excretory pore of another male usually leave behind a plug that weakens the worm and reduces life expectancy. Hermaphrodites with the variation of the same gene also have a lower life expectancy and do not reproduce as well. Next, the researchers want to learn what it is about a mutation in the plep-1 gene that makes males attractive to other males. © 2015 The New York Times Company

Ed Yong This week, a team from the University of California, Los Angeles claimed to have found several epigenetic marks—chemical modifications of DNA that don't change the underlying sequence—that are associated with homosexuality in men. Postdoc Tuck Ngun presented the results yesterday at the American Society of Human Genetics 2015 conference. Nature News were among the first to break the story based on a press release issued by the conference organisers. Others quickly followed suit. "Have They Found The Gay Gene?" said the front page of Metro, a London paper, on Friday morning. Meanwhile, the mood at the conference has been decidedly less complimentary, with several geneticists criticizing the methods presented in the talk, the validity of the results, and the coverage in the press. Ngun's study was based on 37 pairs of identical male twins who were discordant—that is, one twin in each pair was gay, while the other was straight—and 10 pairs who were both gay. He analysed 140,000 regions in the genomes of the twins and looked for methylation marks—chemical Post-It notes that dictate when and where genes are activated. He whittled these down to around 6,000 regions of interest, and then built a computer model that would use data from these regions to classify people based on their sexual orientation. The best model used just five of the methylation marks, and correctly classified the twins 67 percent of the time. "To our knowledge, this is the first example of a biomarker-based predictive model for sexual orientation," Ngun wrote in his abstract. The problems begin with the size of the study, which is tiny. The field of epigenetics is littered with the corpses of statistically underpowered studies like these, which simply lack the numbers to produce reliable, reproducible results.

By Kat Long In the delivery room, the (slight) odds are that a newborn is a baby boy, not a girl. Males make up 51.3 percent of live births in the U.S., a rate that has remained about constant for the past seven decades. Experts assumed that this male-skewed sex ratio began at conception, but a new analysis of fetal records shows that the chances overall of finding a boy or a girl start out at 50–50 and change over the course of pregnancy—leaning female, then male, then female again as nine months pass. In the most comprehensive study of its kind to date, biologist Steven Hecht Orzack of the Fresh Pond Research Institute in Massachusetts and his collaborators analyzed roughly 36 million fertility treatment records, prenatal tests, induced abortions and U.S. Census data points. They discovered several nodes at which the sex ratio wavered from 50–50. Those vacillations most likely arise because of genetic and chromosomal abnormalities that cause natural abortions at various stages of gestation, write the study's authors in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA. "This is basic knowledge about human pregnancy that we didn't have before," Orzack says. "Demographers, developmental biologists, and many more can all get something out of this study." © 2015 Scientific American

By Bill Berkrot (Reuters) - U.S. researchers on Thursday said they had found a way to predict male sexual orientation based on molecular markers that control DNA function, but genetics experts warned that the research has important limitations and will not provide definitive answers to a potential biological basis for sexual preference. Findings from the study, which has yet to be published or reviewed in detail by other scientists, were presented at a meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics in Baltimore. It followed 37 pairs of identical male twins in which one was homosexual and one heterosexual, and 10 sets of twins in which both males were homosexual. The study found that the presence of specific epigenetic marks in nine areas of the human genome could predict homosexual preference with up to 70% accuracy. The epigenome is sometimes described as molecular "switches" that can turn on or silence individual genes in DNA. Scientists believe epigenetic differences can be influenced by environmental and lifestyle factors, from exposure to chemicals to parental nurturing. "To our knowledge, this is the first example of a predictive model for sexual orientation based on molecular markers," Tuck Ngun, lead researcher on the study from the David Geffen School of Medicine of the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a statement. Genetics experts who critiqued the findings said it was premature to draw any conclusions on the predictive powers of epigenetic markers. © 2015 Scientific American

Gay or straight? A saliva test can predict the answer, and get it right 67 per cent of the time – for male identical twins at least. The test, which uses clues from tiny modifications to a person's genome, is the first that claims to detect sexual orientation. Many scientists have expressed caution over the results, while concerns over potential misuse of the test have led the study's lead researcher to quit the project entirely. "The scientific benefit to understanding [why people vary in sexual orientation] is obvious to anyone with an iota of curiosity," says Michael Bailey at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. "The predictive test needs replication on larger samples in order to know how good it is, but in theory it's quite interesting." Over the last two decades, several studies have suggested that sexual orientation is, in part, down to our genes. Perhaps the biggest splash was made in 1993 by Dean Hamer's team at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, when they found that gay brothers tended to share a sequence of five genetic markers in a region of the X chromosome. The same region has been implicated in other studies of sexual orientation since, although researchers haven't been able to single out "gay genes". Other observations also suggest a genetic basis for sexual orientation, such as the mysterious fraternal birth order effect. For every male pregnancy a woman has, a subsequent son has a 33 per cent higher chance of being homosexual, although no one knows why. The overall chance is still low, however, rising from around 2 per cent to just 6 per cent for a third son. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

By Somer Bishop Subtle, significant. In a nutshell, these two words capture the symptoms of many girls with autism. Like many in my field, I've seen this subtlety firsthand. One 6-year-old girl I met several years ago seemed, at first, to have good social skills. She responded appropriately when I introduced myself, complimented my outfit, and politely answered all of my questions. It was only when I saw her again a few days later that I understood her family's concerns: She made nearly identical overtures, as if our interaction were part of a play she had rehearsed. I also met a teenage girl with autism who was highly intelligent. Because she could not relate to the other girls at her high school, she began interacting exclusively with boys, whose social behaviors she found easier to imitate. She even went through a period of wanting to become a boy, reasoning that she might have more success navigating the social world as a male. The past several years have seen an explosion of studies aimed at backing up these one-off observations about how autism presents differently in girls than in boys. This is a welcome development, as understanding the unique presentation of autism in girls will help us to better identify and treat the disorder. Consistently recognizing autism in girls can be challenging, however. This is not only because girls with autism are as diverse as any other group of individuals with the disorder but also because most autism screening and diagnostic tools were developed based primarily on observations of behaviors in boys. © 2015 The Slate Group LLC.

By Jessica Schmerler Many studies trumpet the positive effects of oxytocin. The hormone facilitates bonding, increases trust and promotes altruism. Such findings earned oxytocin its famous nickname, the "love hormone." But more recent research has shown oxytocin has a darker side, too: it can increase aggression, risk taking and prejudice. A new analysis of this large body of work reveals that oxytocin's effects on our brain and behavior actually look a lot like another substance that can cut both ways: alcohol. As such, the hormone might point to new treatments for addiction. Researchers led by Ian Mitchell, a psychologist at the University of Birmingham in England, conducted the meta-analysis, which reveals that both oxytocin and alcohol reduce fear, anxiety and stress while increasing trust, generosity and altruism. Yet both also increase aggression, risk taking and "in-group" bias—favoring people similar to ourselves at the expense of others, according to the paper published in August in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews. The scientists posit that these similarities probably exist because oxytocin and alcohol act at different points in the same chemical pathway in the brain. Oxytocin stimulates release of the neurotransmitter GABA, which tends to reduce neural activity. Alcohol binds to GABA receptors and ramps up GABA activity. Oxytocin and alcohol therefore both have the general effect of tamping down brain activity—perhaps explaining why they both lower inhibitions. © 2015 Scientific American

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Sorry, South Florida. You're not likely to catch 17th ranked Auburn by surprise.
The Tigers are aware of South Florida's upsets of highly ranked teams the past two seasons entering Saturday night's game at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Neither team was impressive in their openers. South Florida beat Elon 28-13. Auburn needed two touchdowns late in the 4th quarter - one a defensive score - to pull away from Kansas State 23-13.
For Auburn, it means getting the running game going and protecting Auburn quarterback Brandon Cox.
The biggest test for South Florida and quarterback Matt Grothe will be scoring against a stingy Auburn defense.
Kickoff is 8 p.m. ESPN2 has the telecast.

As of Friday, July 11, 2014

CONYERS — In a joint effort between local law enforcement and Rockdale County Public Schools to improve school safety, deputies and officers from the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office and Conyers Police Department will participate in training focused on responding to an active school shooting.
The training, which will take place from Monday, July 14, through Wednesday, July 16, will be a split between the classroom and practical exercises. The classroom portion will give an overview of mass shootings, cover case studies of historical school shootings and teach the current trends in responding to an active school shooting. Following the classroom portion, deputies and officers will participate in several practical exercises focused on tactical drills inside the hallways and classrooms of Honey Creek Elementary to simulate various active shooter scenarios.
"This training is a continued effort between local law enforcement and Rockdale County Public Schools to focus on keeping Rockdale County students and teachers safe in the event of a school shooting," said Sheriff Eric J. Levett. "While we hope that we never have to utilize it, we will continue to provide our deputies with the knowledge and tactical skills necessary to respond to such an event. I want to thank the school system for once again allowing us to use a school to conduct the tactical portion of the training."
More than 100 deputies and officers from the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office and Conyers Police Department are expected to participate in the training. Participants will come from various assignments and units within both agencies since all personnel would respond to an active school shooting.

Who is the MP of Canada?
There are roughly 375 MPs in Canada. The PM ( Prime Minister ) is Stephen Joseph Harper.
What are British mp?
An MP is a member of Parliament who has been elected in local elections in his /her constituency to represent said constituency in the House of Commons and be the voice of gov…ernment for that area. Most MPs are either part of the Labour, Conservative or Liberal Democrat parties, though some are from the minor parties or independent. (MORE)
Where do MPs vote?
They quite literally vote with their feet. The Speaker announces the question to vote on, at which point all the MPs leave the room. Those who agree go into the "Aye" chamber,… where they are counted and registered by a clerk. Those who disagree go into the "Nay" chamber and are similarly counted and registered. Those who abstain remain behind. (MORE)

Effectiveness of Natural Remedies vs. Antacids
Digestion is a crucial process to your health. If things go wrong in the digestive process, then heartburn or indigestion can result. When these conditions plague you, you mig…ht wonder if all antacid remedies are the same and if natural antacid remedies work just as good as regular antacids or not.Things such as too much enzyme production or not enough enzyme production can result in digestive complications. If you are not able to digest your food, you cannot absorb the nutrients from the food you eat. The pancreas is responsible for creating the enzymes that break down food, but to do so it relies on vitamins and minerals. If vitamins and minerals cannot be absorbed, the food cannot be broken down. This not only causes heartburn and indigestion, but also leaky gut syndrome and allergies.Many natural remedies focus on supplying your body with the much needed enzymes to properly digest food. By taking natural remedies daily, you could see significant improvement and the need for daily supplements would no longer be necessary. Natural remedies are herbs or supplements that are mixed with drinks or taken in tablet form.Over-the-counter antacids provide immediate relief within seconds of taking the antacid. The most critical factor in the digestive system is stomach acid. Over-the-counter antacids help to neutralize your stomach acid. These come in liquid or chewable form and most are "fast acting."Prescription antacids are not going to work as fast as over-the-counter antacids, and they serve a slightly different purpose. Prescription antacids work by reducing the amount of acid that your stomach produces. The longer this medicine stays in the stomach, the longer it works. Having food in the stomach also prolongs its effects. Prescription antacids are normally a pill that you swallow.You might find that natural remedies are cheaper than over-the-counter antacid remedies. Over-the-counter antacid remedies, however, are cheaper than prescription remedies. Whether you choose natural remedies, prescription or over-the-counter medicines, speak with your doctor first. Only your doctor can properly diagnose your condition and rule out any other serious conditions.Whether you take natural remedies or antacids for your heartburn, drinking plenty of water with them helps relieve symptoms. Water dilutes strong stomach acids, so that they are gentler on the delicate linings of your throat and esophagus. (MORE)

When to Take Antacids for Your Heartburn
Antacids are widely available both over-the-counter and by prescription. They are very effective in alleviating heartburn. Knowing when to take antacids is an important step i…n ensuring their effectiveness and knowing when not to take them is essential in ensuring your health.If you experience heartburn infrequently after eating certain foods, over-the-counter medications are often very effective. Simply take the instructed dosage about an hour after you eat and it should prevent heartburn or make it go away if you already have it.Schedule an appointment with your physician if you experience heartburn regularly. For frequent heartburn sufferers, it is often necessary to take antacids daily. Doctors usually choose between prescription and over-the-counter medications based on your symptoms. Daily antacids are usually taken in the morning.If you need to take antacids in the evening to prevent heartburn while you sleep, they should not be taken with food because they are less likely to be effective. Instead, take the instructed dosage before bed with a glass of water.If you have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever, bleeding or severe diarrhea, do not take antacids. Instead, contact your doctor right away to rule out other conditions such as stomach ulcers, gallstones or appendicitis.Knowing when to take antacids is the most important aspect in ensuring their effectiveness. Taking them about an hour after eating is the best way to prevent heartburn caused by the foods you eat, while daily doses are usually taken in the morning. If you think that a serious problem may be causing your heartburn, talk to your doctor to avoid potentially serious complications.Chronic use of antacids poses real health dangers and addresses only the symptom, while ignoring the underlying issue. Long-term use of antacids containing calcium is linked with dangerous pH imbalance and persistent constipation, while aluminum in antacids makes you vulnerable to osteoporosis. (MORE)

Overview of Heartburn
Heartburn is also known as acid indigestion or pyrosis. It is a burning sensation, which is felt in the chest region behind the sternum. Although, its name implies that there …is a burning sensation in the heart region, heartburn has nothing to do with the heart. This pain often arises from the chest and sometimes irradiates to the neck or throat. The burning sensation is usually uncomfortable and may become worse when the patient lies down or bends over. Sometimes patients experience a bad heartburn after eating a meal, which is spicy or oily.Heartburn occurs as a result of gastric acid seeping out of the stomach into the esophagus. When you eat, the food passes through the esophagus and enters into the stomach, but there is a valve or sphincter, a circular band of muscles, at the lower part of the esophagus that controls the passage of food from the esophagus to the stomach. This valve is often called lower esophageal valve (LES). When this sphincter fails to tighten like it should, there is seepage of gastric acid into the esophagus. The acid that seeps into the esophagus causes a burning sensation called heartburn.Overeating can cause the lower esophageal sphincter to loosen due to backpressure from the stomach. There are certain food substances that naturally relax the lower esophageal sphincter. These food substances include garlic, onions, citrus, chocolate, caffeinated drinks, and peppermint. Food substances that are high in fat and oil content can trigger heartburn. Other factors that can trigger the onset of heartburn include stress, smoking, and lack of sleep.Irrespective of the etiology of heartburn, there are certain symptoms, which are associated with the onset of heartburn. These symptoms include:* Chest Pain: This is the classic symptom of heartburn. Sometimes chest pain in heartburn can be mistaken for heart attack. It is very important that you consult your doctor when such pain begins. Chest pain is often noticed after one eats a very spicy or oily food. The pain intensifies when the person lies down. * Postprandial Pain: Heartburn is often characterized by postprandial pain. This is especially so if you have a large meal. This is because the meal fills the stomach and puts pressure on the esophageal sphincter causing it to loosen slightly, which causes the seepage of gastric acid into the esophagus. * Bitter Taste in the Mouth: Sometimes gastric acid from the stomach can move to the back of your throat leaving a sour and very bitter taste in your mouth. This can lead to nausea and difficulty in swallowing.Heartburn can be prevented by a few lifestyle modifications:* Avoid heartburn triggers: You should avoid food substances that trigger heartburn after you consume them. Substances like coffee, peppermint, spicy foods, oily foods, cigarettes, and chocolate are known to trigger heartburn. Everyone reacts differently to these substances, so you should keep a food diary to help you determine which foods to avoid. * Do not eat too much, especially late at night: Do not overeat with one large meal, rather eat many small meals throughout the day. You should eat three to four hours before you sleep. Try to eat slowly and chew your food properly before swallowing. * Avoid smoking drinking too much alcohol: Nicotine is a major component of cigarettes, and it relaxes the sphincter muscles of the esophageal valve naturally. Smokers are liable to experience frequent heartburn. Drinking alcoholic beverages can also cause heartburns. You should avoid these harmful habits to prevent heartburn.Heartburn can be treated with medication and lifestyle modification. Drugs can treat the symptoms of heartburn, while lifestyle modifications can prevent further occurrence of heartburn symptoms. The medications for heartburn are over-the-counter drugs, which can be purchased without any prescription. These drugs include: * Drugs that neutralize stomach acid: Antacids like Maalox, Rolaids, and Gelusil are great to neutralize stomach acids. However, antacids cannot heal the inflammation of the stomach caused by the acids. Therefore, antacids should not be taken alone to treat heartburn * Drugs to stop acid production and heal the esophagus: Drugs like omeprazole and lansoprazole are proton pump inhibitors, which can stop the production of the acids and heal the esophagus. Heartburn medications have adverse side effects after prolonged use, so you should follow a doctor's prescription when taking drugs for heartburn treatment.Heartburn is an uncomfortable burning sensation behind the sternum, which can be treated by medications and lifestyle modifications. You can prevent the occurrence of heartburn by staying away from substances that trigger symptoms of this condition. Avoiding late night meals, excessive smoking, and alcohol intake will also help in the prevention of heartburn. You can manage heartburn by taking drugs according to your doctor's prescription. Heartburn is not a disease itself, but is often a symptom of gastroenterological disease. It is advisable that you consult your doctor if you experience frequent bad heartburns so that a thorough examination can be carried out to determine the underlying disease.Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any symptoms of heartburn. Improper management of heartburn can lead to chronic gastric problems, like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). (MORE)

Choosing the Right Medication to Treat Heartburn
When treating heartburn, there are many over-the-counter heartburn medicine options to select from. Understand the pros and cons of each of these medicines so you are better p…repared to select the medicine that is best for treating your heartburn.There are two primary types of medicine available to treat heartburn: antacids and acid reducers. Antacids work by neutralizing your stomach acid and include Alka-Seltzer, milk of magnesia and Pepto-Bismol. Acid reducers actually reduce the amount of acid that is produced; these include Pepcid AC, Zantac 75 and Acid AR.Antacids contain ingredients that can lead to diarrhea or constipation. Overusing antacids or taking more than the manufacturer's recommended dose can lead to these side effects. Other possible side effects include stomach cramps and changes to the color of bowel movements.Acid reducers can cause side effects in some patients. Side effects of acid reducers include dizziness and mild headache. Some of the more serious side effects include bleeding, chest tightness, confusion, fever, irregular heartbeat, sore throat, unusual fatigue and weakness. If you experience any of the more serious side effects, contact your doctor immediately.Both antacids and acid reducers are effective at reducing heartburn in patients with mild or moderate heartburn. If you have severe heartburn, you may need to use a prescription heartburn medicine instead. Unless ordered by a doctor, you should not take an over-the-counter heartburn medicine for more than two weeks at a time.Living with heartburn is uncomfortable and troubling. It interferes with your day-to-day function and makes sleeping difficult. If you are not sure which medication is right for you or if you suffer from any other medical conditions in addition to heartburn, contact your doctor to explore your options for treatment.Chronic use of antacids risks an unhealthy accumulation of the minerals that give these antidotes their acid-fighting effect. Popping antacids after meals is habit-forming, too. Relying on antacids and acid reducers targets the symptom instead of the underlying cause; at worst, it camouflages a warning sign of serious illness. (MORE)
Training and Requirements for Joining the Army Military Police
All branches of the United States military need military police officers. This is a good way to serve your country and, after you get out of the armed forces, your experience …translates to a civilian career in law enforcement. If you want to join the Army's military police, or MPs, you must meet a few, basic qualifications. Here are the most-important standards you must meet in order to become an MP.You can become an MP during your first enlistment. The Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) code for Army MP is 31B.

This written test has several sections. To become an MP, your Skilled Technical (ST) score must be 91 or higher. Your recruiter has more information about the ASVAB.Males and females alike can choose the 31B MOS. As long as you meet the other standards, you can enlist as an MP.

Jackson, South Carolina, where you complete 20 weeks of Basic and Advanced Individual Training to become an MP.Being an Army police officer offers the same, basic benefits that other, enlisted soldiers receive.

Federal, state and local law-enforcement agencies view former military police in positive ways.MPs are the Army's police officers. As an MP, you perform the same duties as civilian law-enforcement officers. This includes patrolling areas, arresting suspects, and investigating crimes.

Marc thinks for a second and says "yes". Half the crowd left at that point including myself. Emery is a fucking tool and his followers are blind to his fascist views on who can support the movement.

Pulau Semakau
Singapore's human-made natural island
What we say:
Most of the 62 small islands considered part of Singapore are well off the tourist trail, but Pulau Semakau has a waiting list of eager visitors. Considering this island is used as Singapore's landfill, why would anyone want to go here?
The Pulau Semakau landfill is a unique environmental experiment and one of Singapore's land reclamation projects designed to increase the size of the tiny country. In 1999, a water-impermeable border was built around Pulau Semakau and the neighbouring island Pulau Sakeng, enclosing the two small islands and the sea between them. The lake this created was then divided into smaller cells, and one by one they are being filled in with ash from incinerated garbage. Based on the current rate at which Singaporeans throw things out, the island should be "finished" by 2045.
You might expect an island made from burnt garbage to be stinky and dirty, but Pulau Semakau is scenic and the only smell is the salty sea air. The island is home to important ecosystems like mangrove forests and without humans living on the island the wildlife has flourished. Nothing was planted on the new land but, thanks to seeds spread by birds and strong winds, it's already lush with tropical plants. The shallow water around the island is also rich with life including corals, starfish and seahorses. Even dolphins have been spotted swimming around Pulau Semakau.
Pulau Semakau was opened to the public in 2005, but you still need to join an organised tour and arrange it well in advance. Tours generally include round-trip ferry transfers, a guide and a presentation about the island's construction at the visitor centre. Washrooms can be found near the jetty, but you'll need to bring your own drinking water and a snack.

Hi All,
I'm the planning stages for my upcoming trip across America. I'm coming from Australia and would like opinions on which would be the most mind-blowing tour. I realise that each of them in their own right would be excellent but which would be the best for a once in a lifetime trip. I'm heavily leaning towards
the TransAm.

CARRABASSETT VALLEY, Maine (AP) -- The Maine Warden Service has narrowed the search area for a Tennessee hiker who disappeared from the Appalachian Trail in Maine.
Officials say the search area for 66-year-old Geraldine Largay of Brentwood, Tenn., was narrowed Monday to a 14-mile section of the trail in the Carrabassett Valley region of western Maine. Wardens believe the area of highest probability is a nine-mile section of the trail between Lone Mountain and a dirt road west of Sugarloaf Mountain.
Largay started her hike in April at Harpers Ferry, W.Va., with a destination of Mount Katahdin in Maine, the trail's northern terminus.
She was supposed to meet her husband a week ago but never showed up.
Monday's search crews include game wardens, Mahoosuc Search and Rescue, U.S. Border Patrol and the Maine Forest Service.

Holly Montague
She saw him again in her mind's eye, tall and large with a physique that wouldn't tolerate an ounce of fat, and she couldn't help but think that a woman would have to be more than pretty to gain his notice. Only beautiful women would get a second look from the virile-looking Grant Harrington, she felt sure. She was tempted to get out of bed and take stock of her fine boned face. Then she remembered tomorrow, and wondered why she should have a sudden yen to be beautiful.
-- Jessica Steele, Tomorrow--Come Soon ( 1984)
Standing before the spring, he washed his hair and his body. His hair was dark and luxuriant, and his complexion sunburned. . . . As she watched him, Chloe realized for the first time how handsome he was. . . . She washed his back for him and felt how soft his skin was; stealthily, she touched her own several times, testing to see whether it was softer. . . . Young country girl that she was, she did not understand what was happening to her.
-- Longus, Daphnis and Chloe ( A.D. 200?)1
Nearly two millennia separate these descriptions of innocent female sensuality. In each, love lays a gentle hand on a young girl, who remains but vaguely conscious of her own emotions. Next we find, in each case, a series of episodes arranged to frustrate and confound the nascent desire. Each story ends with the heroine's full erotic initiation--after the wedding, of course.
During the early centuries A.D., a few Greek writers produced what may be viewed as prototypes of the modern romance novel. Of these works, it is Longus's Daphnis and Chloe that most nearly anticipates those present-day romances often called "Harlequins." I, too, will use this convenient term, although Harlequins are only the most notorious of a genre which admits much variation in quality and which, by one account ( Thurston 1987), has developed greatly over the decades. Books in this group have recently drawn attention from feminist critics who see in

|Oryzias woworae
|Scientific classification
M. C. W. Weber, 1913
|Sub-families & Genera
Sub-family Adrianichthyinae
Sub-family Oryziinae
The ricefishes are a family (Adrianichthyidae) of small ray-finned fish that are found in fresh and brackish waters from India to Japan and out into the Indo-Australian Archipelago, most notably Sulawesi. The common name of the group derives from the fact that many species are found in Japanese rice paddies.[1] This family consists of about 32 species, some extremely rare and endangered, and some 2-4 may already be extinct.[2]
Most of these species are quite small, making them of interest for aquaria. The largest species, the buntingi, can reach 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in length, but most are less than a fifth this length, with the smallest being only 1.7 centimetres (0.67 in) long. They have a number of distinctive features, including an unusual structure to the jaw, and the presence of an additional bone in the tail.[1] The medaka, Oryzias latipes, is a popular model organism used in research in developmental biology. Ricefish have traveled into space, where they have the distinction of being the first vertebrate to mate and produce healthy young in space.[3]
Genetic study of the family suggests that it originally evolved on Sulawesi and spread from there to the Asian mainland; the supposed genus Xenopoecilus are apparently unrelated, morphologically divergent species of Oryzias.[4]
Ricefish are believed to have been kept as aquarium fishes since the 17th century. O. latipes has been one of the oldest species to have been kept and has been since bred into a golden color, from their original white coloring.[3]
As with most fish, ricefish typically spawn their eggs, which are fertilised externally. However, some species, including the medaka, are known to fertilise the eggs internally, carrying them inside the body as the embryo develops. The female then lays the eggs just before they hatch. Several other species carry their eggs attached to the body between their pelvic fins.[1]

Nicole Quizon, Zsa Zsa Padilla and Zia Quizon
MANILA, Philippines -- Singer-actress Zsa Zsa Padilla admitted that it will be hard to celebrate Christmas this year with the absence of her long-time partner Dolphy.
The country's comedy king passed away in July this year.
Padilla and daughter Zia Quizon will be spending the holidays in Japan as they both continue to cope with Dolphy's death.
"Obviously it's medyo mahirap din kasi it's the first holiday season na wala 'yung daddy kaya we are trying to distract ourselves and have fun and spend time with friends and family din namin," Quizon said.
Padilla is also looking forward to 2013 as she will star in the upcoming series "Juan dela Cruz" with actor Coco Martin.
The singer is hopefull next year will be a "happier one" for her.
"I'm gonna be busy. Di ba 'yan din ang lunas din kapag malungkot ka?" she said. -- Report from ANC

This old-fashioned recipe hails from my German Grandmother. Ruth was born in Canada, but lived in the German community of Kitchener, Ontario. She was in fact a third generation Canadian, but the German influences of her ancestors were evident throughout her home and in her cooking. This is a popular recipe among her descendants.

Onion, chopped 1
Margarine or butter ¼ cup
Eggs 2
Sour cream ¾ cup
Sugar 3 tbs.

He Is Legend The Fool Lyrics
Last updated: 05/16/2005 11:00:00 AM
Sponsored LinksCold and lonely as I sit across from reigning kings
Theses days are empty and I feel like this one was written about me
Because as I wandered I felt like she was wandering too
Never knew the grass was growing
Never know where I was going
I felt alive
It felt vivid
I fell asleep under the table
I don't know why my lip is bleeding
I underestimate the need in silent love
Should I have lost the love tonight?
Are we running out of time?
It's dark and cool there tonight and I feel fine
And if kissing the fool makes it right
I feel fine sweetheart
There's my story though sad and tragic it is true
I've watched the sun set on the hills and lost the ones I knew
That's just it, This is me
I'm lonely and aging
Now I know where I am going
But never knew the grass was growing
I'm still alive, it's still vivid
I'm waking up under the table
I don't mind that my lip is bleeding
Its ok, I just need silent love
Should have lost the love tonight,
Are we running out of time?
Cause, it's dark and cool there tonight and Ill be fine
And I'm kissing the fool there tonight and Ill be fine
Four years ago I had never loved a thing
And four years later I got a reason to sing
My life has become the portrait of the thing I never wanted them to be
Four years ago I had never loved a thing
And four years later I got a reason to sing
This is the call to all my frozen friends

Re: Dallas - Season 2
It didn't even occur to me that the first season's higher ratings were due to it airing in the summer. Unfortunately, even the Live+3 numbers are down from last year, meaning viewers have left, even with the DVR and On Demand options open to them.
I hope the show manages to get a third season; I like the new storylines and characters they've introduced this year, and hopefully they'll get a chance to play them out.
"They quickly settled on the slender island at the head of the bay, which they called 'Mannahatta', after an old Indian word thought by some to mean 'island of hills', and by others 'place of general inebriation'."
