What can we learn from the British successes at the 2008 Olympics? Over the last few years in the lead-up to the London 2012 Games, there has been a massive influx of money and enthusiasm in the UK into Olympic sports and infrastructure. Other countries have shown similar improvement ahead of hosting the game. So is Britain's triumph an early result of the home advantage? And how will Britain perform in 2012?

2009 is the year of astronomy and Plus will be part of the celebrations!
In May 1609 Galileo Galilei received reports of "a spyglass by means of which visible objects, though very distant from the eye of the observer, were distinctly seen as if nearby." Intrigued, he set about building his own version of this curious device, and he succeeded: by the end of the year he had discovered mountains on the Moon, the moons of Jupiter and the make-up of the Milky Way. His observations revolutionised our understanding of the Universe, and his use of the telescope marked the birth of modern astronomy — which celebrates its 400th anniversary this year.

Darwin and the web of life
One hundred and fifty years after the publication of On the origin of species, it seems that one of Darwin's most fruitful ideas, that the course of evolution can be represented in the shape of a tree, is in need of updating. Evidence is mounting that what we should be thinking of instead is a web.
Reconstructing relationships between species from genetic information is a mathematical exercise, as well as a biological one. Darwin's tree of life, as a mathematical object, is an example of a graph, a collection of nodes connected by edges, with the special property that there's only one route between any two nodes. There are no circuits in the graph because it was assumed that genes can only be transferred between parents and offspring. But as Plus reported last year, there is evidence that genes can also be transferred between species horizontally, for example through hybridisation or swapping of genetic material between unrelated species. An article in this week's New Scientists brings together many strands of evidence for horizontal gene transfer. According to the article, the evidence doesn't just concern strange unicellular beasts, but also humans and other mammals: it is estimated that "40 to 50 per cent of the human genome consists of DNA imported horizontally by viruses"!
As a result, many scientists now think that a more general form of graph, a network, is what is needed to describe life. Given the potential complexity of networks, genetics may soon be in desperate need of mathematicians.

Shine a light on dodgy stats
This week both the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail ran stories claiming that switching off street lights could significantly increase the number of road deaths. The stories were based on a paper published in the Cochrane Library, which considered three studies into the connection between road accidents and street lighting. However, it seems that the headlines are a typical example of misinterpretation of statistics.
As David Spiegelhalter, Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge, writes on his website Understanding Uncertainty, the studies suffer from three major flaws: poor data, publication bias, and what's known as regression to the mean. Spiegelhalter points out that the three studies underlying the paper were poor and conducted decades ago, with one dating from as far back as 1948 — not a very good basis for drawing conclusions about today's traffic. The term publication bias refers to the fact that studies which show dramatic results are more likely to be published than those that don't. It's quite possible that there were other studies, which found no connection between street lights and accidents, but that no-one bothered to publish such boring results. Regression to the mean is a commonly observed effect, which results from random fluctuations. If street lights were installed on a certain road, then this is most likely because that road recently experienced a spade of accidents. Such a freak period can be purely down to chance, in which case one would expect the accident rate to return to normal after a while. Thus the improved accident rate after the installation of lights may be purely down to chance, rather than the improved lighting.
All this doesn't of course mean that street lights are useless. It simply means that the evidence is nowhere near as sound as the newspaper headlines claim. The Daily Mail, to its credit, did consult an expert, namely Spiegelhalter, but it's probably the headline, rather than his warning, that will stick in readers' minds.
If you're interested in matters of uncertainty and risk, then visit the Understanding Uncertainty website, or read Spiegelhalter's column in Plus.

So easy and delicious. I have already made it three times since first trying it. Rave reviews from everyone who has tasted it :)
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
So easy and delicious. I have already made it three times since first trying it. Rave reviews from everyone who has tasted it :)
This was quicky, easy, delicious, and very satisfying! I thought about substituting spinach for the chard, but I'm glad I ended up sticking with the chard. It didn't wilt as much as the spinach would have, so it added nice texture to the dish. Like other reviewers, I used whole wheat gnocchi and was very happy with the result! Will definitely be making this again.
Wow! Can't wait to try this one! I'll try substituting Garbanzo beans too! I love Garbanzo beans!
Really a simple and nutritious meal. I used whole wheat/sweet potato gnocchi-super supper!! Definitely a repeat recipe!! Great for a cold winter night!!
This the first recipe I've tried from this site and I must say it is
truly awesome. The flavor and juxtapositon of textrures are
sublime. This will make the rotation of favorite tried and true
dishes in my home.

To help reconnect today's children to the outdoors, National Wildlife Federation assists schools in developing outdoor classrooms called Schoolyard Habitats®, where educators and students learn how to attract and support local wildlife.
These wildlife habitats become places where students not only learn about wildlife species and ecosystems, but also outdoor classrooms where they hone their academic skills and nurture their innate curiosity and creativity.
National Wildlife Federation has encouraged individuals and communities to create and conserve wildlife habitat since 1973, when the Backyard Wildlife Habitat™ program (now called the Certified Wildlife Habitat® program) began.
In 1996, the Schoolyard Habitats program was created to meet the growing interest and distinct needs of schools and school districts in creating and restoring wildlife habitat on school grounds. The program focuses specifically on assisting school communities in the use of school grounds as learning sites for wildlife conservation and cross-curricular learning.
All ages are involved. From children in day care centers and preschools, and thousands of students in grades K-12, to parents, university students, teachers, administrators, community members, and volunteers, Schoolyard Habitats® projects truly do reach all ages.
The number of certified Schoolyard Habitats® sites grows each day. There are certified schoolyard in every state in the nation and two territories. Certified habitats are also international, with sites in Thailand, Italy, United Kingdom and other countries.
There is no minimum amount of land needed for Schoolyard Habitats® projects. Many schools complete successful projects with no land at all! They build planter boxes and add feeders, bird baths, etc. onto an unused section of their asphalt playgrounds or even on their roofs. They remove areas of asphalt to create new planting areas. Others use their limited amount of green space--such as a small courtyard--to its fullest potential. Smaller projects may focus on attracting and supporting local insects, butterflies, and birds. Schools with more land do everything from restoring native prairie to creating a wetland.
Learn more about planning and creating Schoolyard Habitats with Creating Schoolyard Habitat Sites: A How-To Guide.
Schools, backyards, community and business sites each certify the same way. All must incorporate the four elements of habitat (food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young) and be registered with NWF through our online certification form.
The planning, design, implementation, and on-going monitoring and maintenance of a schoolyard habitat provides endless opportunities to meet and exceed high academic standards across the curriculum.
Learn more about the academic benefits to Schoolyard Habitats >>
Schools and organizations benefit from certifying their habitat projects in many ways. When a school gets certified, National Wildlife Federation sends the school a press release the school can send to local papers. This publicity helps schools gain additional community support and aids in future fundraising efforts for the schoolyard project. Once certified, schools are also able to order an attractive sign, which they can post to announce and describe their efforts.
In addition, certified schools can receive an online newsletter specifically for educators, and benefit from belonging to this dynamic network of educators and schools involved in habitat restoration and hands-on outdoor instruction.
Most people find that applying for certification is a helpful, tangible goal along the road of habitat restoration. Receiving Schoolyard Habitats® certification from NWF is a huge accomplishment and reason for a school-wide celebration. Certification represents official acknowledgment of a school's hard work and achievements, and provides a new boost of energy for the work that lies ahead to maintain and fully utilize the schoolyard habitat. Certification is just the beginning!
NWF is working to get 10 million kids outdoors for regular time in nature. Join the fun with the kids in your life! Learn more >>

Europa Island
Europa Island located in the southern Mozambique Channel, between Madagascar and Mozambique. Europa Island is about 100 kilometers (km) southeast of Bassas da India.
Europa, with 30 square kilometers (km2) of land area, is 6-7 km in diameter with a maximum altitude of 6 meters (m). Its shallow lagoon (generally 1 m deep) is open to the sea at one side, and covers about 900 hectares (ha), including some 700 ha of mangrove swamp that is particularly extensive to the south. The lagoon is almost entirely exposed at low tide, and supports sparse seagrass beds at its outflow. These are dominated by Thalassodendron and Halodule species. Another smaller lagoon supports a mixed vegetation. The rim of the atoll is a karst is also a quantity of exposed coral rock and extensive sand dunes and rubble to the southwest. Europa is estimated to have formed about 90,000 years ago. It is surrounded by an abraded coral platform 200 to 600 m in width, which emerges at low tide carpeted with algae.
These islands are subject to the Agulhas Current and experience occasional cyclones. Water temperatures are usually above 30°C, and southeast trade winds dominate during the austral winter. Annual rainfall averages at about 600 millimeters (mm).
It is part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. It is also considered part of the Îles Éparses (Scattered Islands or Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean - Îles éparses de l'océan indien) which include Bassas da India, Europa Island, Glorioso Islands, Juan de Nova Island, and Tromelin Island.
This heavily wooded island has been a French possession since 1897; it is the site of a small military garrison that staffs a weather station. Europa Island is claimed by Madagascar.

Europa Island is a wildlife sanctuary for seabirds and sea turtles
Source: NASA
Europa Island is part of the Ile Europa and Bassas da India xeric scrub ecoregion which covers the the atolls.
Europa Island, despite its small area, presents a diverse flora and fauna, including several native vegetation types, a large seabird population, and a few endemic subspecies of birds and reptiles. Europa also supports one of the world's last stable populations of nesting green turtle (Chelonia mydas) that has not been seriously exploited. Unfortunately, Europa has shared a similar fate with many of the world's isolated islands, having suffered significant environmental damage from direct human alteration as well as from degradation by introduced species. This is most apparent when considering the large population of now feral goats inhabiting Europa.
Four vegetation types are identified on the island of Europa. These include a dry forest of silver thicket (Euphorbia stenoclada), a dry herbaceous formation dominated by a grass, Sclerodactylon macrostachyum, mangrove swamps of Rhizophora mucronata, and a coastal shrub formation that includes bay cedar (Suriana maritima). An abandoned plantation of introduced sisal (Agave sisalana) growing with Mauritius hemp (Furcraea foetida) is found on the northern end of the island. Sisal was planted by colonists who attempted to settle the island at the beginning of the 20th century. While the human settlement failed, the sisal persisted. It appears that the sisal is spreading; it now occurs in small islands within the Euphorbia thicket. The presence of this plantation cuts down the region of Euphorbia stenoclada by about 10%. About fifteen other plant species were introduced intentionally or accidentally on Europa Island; four species have an unspecified origin but are most likely introduced. There are no endemic plant species on the island.
Biodiversity Features
Europa Island functions as an important nesting ground for sea turtles and seabirds, and also claims an endemic subspecies of land bird as well as two endemic subspecies of lizard. While Bassas da India is of scientific and biogeographical interest due to its relatively undisturbed reef system, the limited area of permanently dry land is not sufficient to support significant terrestrial life. Europa Island is considered one of the most important nesting sites for green turtle (Chelonia mydas) in the world. Chelonia mydas, the largest of the hard-shelled sea turtles, was classified as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List in 1996. Between 8,000 and 15,000 females nest on the island's beaches each year, and 0.7 to 2.4 million juvenile turtles hatch annually. Only about a dozen large populations of nesting females are known to persist worldwide, and only Europa and Raine Island (Australia) appear to have stable populations that are not heavily exploited. In a good year, over 10,000 females may nest on Europa. The hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) is also fairly common on the island.
Europa Island is used as a stopover point for numerous bird species migrating between Africa and Madagascar. Many species breed here as well. The resident seabird population includes: red-tailed tropicbird (Phaethon rubricauda) (nests on sand under bushes), white-tailed tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus), greater frigatebird (Fregata minor), lesser frigatebird (Fregata ariel), red-footed booby (Sula sula), brown booby (Sula leucogaster), Caspian tern (Sterna caspia), sooty tern (Sterna fuscata) and Audubon's shearwater (Puffinus lherminieri).
A few of Europa's seabird populations appear to be genetically isolated from other populations of the Indian Ocean. White-tailed tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus) occurs as a distinctive morph on Europa Island. Its size is smaller than those of other populations within the Indian Ocean, more closely resembling the subspecies P. l. ascensionis from the central and eastern Atlantic Ocean and P. l. dorotheae from the Pacific Ocean. The Europa Island population also has a high frequency of golden morphs, a feature that is not present elsewhere in the western Indian Ocean. These differences lead scientists to believe that the Europa population of white-tailed tropicbird is isolated from other nearby colonies in the Indian Ocean; it has been proposed as a distinct subspecies, Phaethon lepturus europae, by Le Corre and Jouventin.
The pantropical red-footed booby (Sula sula) is another example of an isolated population. One of the most polymorphic seabirds, most extant colonies of the Indian Ocean have white morph adults. On Europa, however, adults are almost entirely of a white-tailed brown morph, differing significantly even from nearby colonies. Le Corre suggests that the occurrence of the white-tailed brown morph at Europa may act as a defensive camouflage against kleptoparasitism (a behavior of stealing another bird's catch) by great frigatebirds (Fregata minor) and brown skuas (Catharacta antarctica). A third example of the geographic isolation of Europa's seabirds is seen in the island's population of Audubon's Shearwater (Puffinus lherminieri), recently evidenced to belong to the subspecies P. l. bailloni. This subspecies was previously thought to be endemic to the Mascarenes Islands off the eastern shore of Madagascar. P. l. bailloni is distinct from the three subspecies of the Comoro, Aldabra, and Seychelles group to the north of Madagascar, suggesting that little exchange occurs north along the corridor of the Mozambique Channel.
Europa supports at least five species of land birds, including the endemic subspecies of Madagascar white-eye (Zosterops maderaspatana voeltzkowi'). This bird has managed to colonize all islands of the western Indian Ocean and to then diversify into numerous endemic subspecies or species. Other land birds include the dimorphic egret (Egretta dimorpha) (native to Europa, also present on Madagascar), Madagascar pond heron (Ardeola idea) (native to Europa), barn owl (Tyto alba) (possibly indigenous, though dependent on the introduced Rattus rattus), and pied crow (Corvus albus) (probably introduced and dependent on the presence of humans).
Other species of interest on Europa Island are two endemic subspecies of lizard, Mabuya comorensis infralineata and Cryptoblepharus boutonii bitaeniatus. Over 55 species of insect make their home on these islands, including an endemic Chalcidoid wasp species that is a specialized parasite of the red wood ant.
Current Status
The fragile ecosystems of these small islands (Europa and Bassa da india) face threats common to most isolated islands. In addition to the physical alteration of the Euphorbia vegetation by humans, introduced species of plants and animals have had a significant effect on the island's ecology. Sisal is an invasive species in many localities globally, having the ability to out-compete native vegetation. Goats (Capra hircus) were introduced from Madagascar in 1860, by 1976 there were approximately 200, and their numbers have grown since. Particularly well-adapted to difficult environmental conditions, such as a lack of fresh water, goats are capable of dramatically altering vegetation, thereby destroying habitat vital to the island's native bird population. Their presence is particularly damaging to the native Euphorbe arborescente thickets as well as to the rare portia tree (Thespesia populnea) that grows in association with mangroves. Black rats (Rattus rattus) have been on the island since the 16th century and are efficient predators of the eggs and young of many seabirds. Donkeys, cats, and rabbits were also introduced to the island, but are now extinct.
A meteorological station was built on Europa Island in 1950, along with an airstrip. The station has been intermittently manned by French meteorologists or military personnel, with researchers visiting periodically. This human presence affects the native xeric scrub habitat, though the extent of the damage is unclear. Installation of the military airstrip undoubtedly had some effect, as does the continued presence of people on this small, fragile island. Both Europa and Bassas da India are classified as Nature Reserves, a type of low-level protection by order of the Prefect in 1975 and 1981. Fishing in territorial waters around the islands is banned, and anyone visiting the islands is expected to observe certain regulations. This type of reserve classification is not thought to provide maximum environmental protection, and proposals have been made for more effective protection measures.
Types and Severity of Threats
Introduced species both present and possible non native species continue to threaten this ecoregion. The lack of formal protection for the islands and continued visitation by humans increase the risk of introductions as well as problems associated with the use of resources. Furthermore, the Mozambique Channel is becoming polluted from heavy vessel traffic, and egg collection on these remote islands is also problematic.

Can't believe some of the bile being thrown at Rangi Chase simply because he played for England (and it is just that).
He got picked for MOS by his peers in a three horse race. Regardless of whether people think Tomkins should have been it or not, that still makes him ate sat the second best player that year. That makes him significantly better than average. He got voted above Roby, that makes him class.
He got into the Opta team of the year in 2012 after only playing half of the season. He literally carries Cas. He is not average by any definition, and he'd get into ANY team in the league, even better than established stars like McGuire and Briers.
So for anyone calling him average, you really need to put up a far better argument than "he looks good because Cas are cr**.
He shouldn't have been picked for England because he needs a visa to work in this country. We now have the embarrassing situation where he's going to be kicked out of the country he's represented!
If he was actually English, people wouldn't be saying half the things they have about him.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Reports that over 40 per cent of the natural honey harvested in Tanzania goes to waste owing to problems with preservation are, to put it mildly, sad and dismaying.
Considering the decades of experience the country has in beekeeping, it is hard to understand why it should be producing a lowly 3.5 per cent of the honey and beeswax it is capable of producing – that is, a yearly 4,800 tonnes of the former instead of 138,000 and 324 tonnes of the latter instead of 9,200.
The situation is especially distressing in that we have in place national policies on a wide array of sectors related to the natural resources our country is endowed with, from forestry to fisheries, wildlife, minerals, the environment, beekeeping itself and the like.
Official records show that the beekeeping sector in Tanzania was for decades managed without a policy since 1949 when it was established as a department under the Agriculture ministry.
But we have since March 1998 had a policy in place, initially prepared as part of a much more comprehensive National Forestry Policy and also having a direct link with the National Environment Policy.
We are told that the plan has always been to modernise beekeeping practices, with a view to maximising honey and beeswax production, and boosting export earnings from the sales of the two items but while ensuring environmental sustainability.
It is also noted that the continued existence of the non-stinging or stingless honeybees, which are famous for producing high quality honey hugely popular for its medicinal values, is threatened by factors like chemical poisoning (especially pesticides), land clearing for agricultural and industrial development, and increased world market demand for honey.
Like all national policies linked to development sectors, the policy on beekeeping is in part meant to help combat poverty and deprivation in order to improve people's welfare, and to ensure the country maintains an environmentally sustainable development path.
So, it is confirmed that beekeeping could play a much bigger role in Tanzania's social and economic development and environmental conservation than has happened until now currently. It is a proven source of food, and it provides raw materials for the production of medicine and for use in various other industries.
The sub-sector is without doubt a dependable source of source of employment, thus providing much-needed income to the people as well as supporting ecotourism and serving the country as a foreign exchange earner.
The sub-sector is without doubt a dependable source of source of employment, thus providing much-needed income to the people as well as supporting ecotourism and serving the country as a foreign exchange earner.
Now read this, from the government's own website: "International markets for honey and beeswax are highly competitive in terms of quality. In 1991 Tanzanian honey won by 100 per cent the Quality Test for organic Honey in UK."
One wonders why we have failed to build on the superb record and, in the process, capitalise on the noticeable rise in local and international demand for the two products recent years have witnessed but are instead letting the industry crumble under the weight of problems we could have solved or prevented with relative ease.
It's already years late, but the relevant authorities need to spare the nation further blushes by put things back on track.

Wakarusa 4-Her takes back-to-back Beef Show titles
GOSHEN — For the second consecutive year, Hillary Lechlitner of Wakarusa had the top steer in the Elkhart County 4-H Beef Show.
Lechlitner's champion Simmental steer, "Sherwin," was named grand champion of the steer show Monday.
"It just felt like an amazing accomplishment," she said after the show, adding that it was "definitely a blessing."
It was a successful end to her 10 years in 4-H and in the beef club. Lechlitner showed one other steer in the show that was named the champion Maine and then took fifth overall in the champion drive.
She said after Monday's show that she wasn't sure if she would auction off the grand champion steer at the fair's livestock auction Friday or if she would take him on to the beef show at the Indiana State Fair.
Lechlitner graduated from NorthWood High School this past spring. She'll attend Ball State this fall to study Spanish education.
Marissa Lorenz, who will be a senior at Fairfield this fall, won reserve grand champion honors with her champion crossbred steer, named "Lucifer" because of how difficult he can be to handle at times.
She has had multiple breed champions, she said, and this is her second time winning reserve grand.
Patrick Gunn of Lafayette judged the beef show, complimenting the 4-Hers on the animals' quality.
He's judged a lot of state shows out east that don't have the quality of beef animals at Monday's show, he said.
Third overall in the steer show went to Lindsey Lorenz with her champion Chianina steer, while fourth overall went to Mya Lorenz with her reserve champion steer.
Sam Burtsfield had the grand champion heifer with his Simmi-Solution and Liz Beer had reserve champion heifer with her Charolais heifer.
Showmanship winners were Carsin Stutzman in greenhand; Brock Flickinger in beginner; Liz Beer in junior; and Hillary Lechlitner in senior.

All dragons hatch from a dragon egg. Dragon's eggs tend to be very large (around 12x18 inches[1]) and need a lot of heat from their mothers to hatch. Dragon mothers are very protective of their eggs, as is found out in the Triwizard Tournament when Harry's Hungarian Horntail tries to stop Harry from capturing the Golden egg. Dragon eggs are considered a Class A Non-Tradeable Material.
In Harry's First year at Hogwarts, Hagrid won a dragon's egg off a stranger he met down at the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade. The stranger was wearing a cloak so that no one could see his identity, but it is later learned it was Professor Quirrell. Hagrid kept the egg in order to try to hatch it by keeping it in the fire place. Eventually it did hatch, but in the end Norbert was sent to Romania with a bunch of Charlie Weasley's friends.
Following the burial of Aragog, Hagrid and Horace Slughorn sat together in Hagrid's cabin and got drunk on Berry Ocky Rot. While drunk, they began swapping tales of the illegal trade in dragon eggs and Harry Potter used the conversation as cover to refill the wine using the Refilling Charm without being noticed.

VALLEY SPRINGS, CA - Calaveras County sheriff's deputies have made an arrest in the murder of 8-year-old Leila Fowler.
Fowler's 12-year-old brother was arrested in connection to her death around 5:10 p.m., said Sheriff Gary Kuntz during a news conference at the sheriff's Valley Springs substation.
On April 27, Fowler died after being stabbed in her family's Valley Springs home. Her 12-year-old brother told investigators that a man broke into their home that afternoon. The boy also told detectives when he went to hide from the intruder in a different room, he found Fowler with severe injuries. Fowler was transported to the hospital where she later died.
Kuntz said the 12-year-old boy will be charged with homicide. He did not release details on what lead detectives to the boy as a suspect in Fowler's murder.
"During the past 15 days, we have conducted an expansive investigation," Kuntz said. "These types of cases require a considerable amount of time. It was our commitment to make sure that we did as thorough a job as possible."
More than 2,000 hours were put into the investigation. Detectives studied several knives to determine if one was used as a weapon in Fowler's death; the sheriff's department did not say from where investigators had recovered the knives but that the information would "come out eventually."
Dive crews also searched two small reservoirs near Fowler's home for additional evidence, while deputies canvassed more than 300 homes to see if anyone may have remembered seeing anything the day of Fowler's murder.
The sheriff's office said more information about the case will be released later on the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office's website.
