This year, M-A is changing the format of the selection of the junior and senior class presidents by now including the entire sophomore and junior classes in the vote.
Previously, only members of the Leadership class ran for president. Now, however, any sophomore or junior that attends all the required meetings and maintains a GPA of 2.5 or above may be considered for candidacy. He or she must have a running mate for the vice presidency and most importantly, "be prepared… It is a serious responsibility [and] a very active leadership role," said M-A Student Activities Director Jonathan Senigaglia. The duties of the winners will include planning reunions, Senior Week, prom, the Senior Shirt, along with registering suggestions or concerns of the student body.
The campaign process comprises of a lunchtime meeting on April 23 at lunch, a short speech on M-A Today wherein each candidate can express his or her proposed changes to the school, and a debate on the Green where candidates will address inquiries submitted in advance by the student body. Sophomores and juniors will vote, respectively, for the junior and senior class president/vice president on May 2.
The winners will be announced on May 9.

Authorities announced that human remains found in the East River near Queens, NY, may belong to missing teen Avonte Oquendo, according to a Jan. 18, 2014 USA Today report.
The report indicates that Old Navy pants and Air Jordan sneakers in Avonte's size were also found.
The body parts discovered on a rock in the water near the College Point Yacht Club on Thursday evening include an arm and legs, according to WABC NY.
USA Today reports that Avonte, 14, who suffers from "severe autism," left his school on Oct. 4, 2013, and was last seen on surveillance footage that same day walking toward a park on the East River.
His family has been informed of the recent developments in the case, however, Avonte's mother, Vanessa Fontaine, is just considering the news another tip until DNA tests are undertaken, family attorney, David Perecman told WABC.
Perecman told CBS News, "It's not Avonte until it's Avonte."
According to CBS, Fontaine has taken DNA samples belonging to Avonte to the medical examiner's office to aid in the investigation.

"After victory, tighten the cords of your helmet." - Tokugawa Ieyasu
After being thrown by the instructor to demonstrate a technique, a student at the Midwest Aikido Center in Chicago finds a jo, or short fighting staff, whistling towards her head. The jo clears her head by a few inches as she decides, correctly, to stay down for a fraction of a second.
There is a collective gasp from the other practitioners, having witnessed a near-decapitation of one of their fellows.
In another part of town, a cyclist, barreling down one of the city's numerous bike lanes, senses a minivan accelerating backwards out of a driveway, does a quick shoulder check and pulls smoothly out into traffic to avoid getting leveled.
Both incidents are rather unusual, but graphic demonstrations of zanshin, or "lingering spirit".
Zanshin is a state of mind instilled in martial artists of every stripe. In examining the various definitions of zanshin, one may look at it as maintaining constant awareness during that interstitial period between fully completing one action and preparing for the next.
On one hand, zanshin can be described as
finishing the brush stroke and the hand and brush moving smoothly off the paper.
On the other hand, zanshin calls for one
to be attentive and receptive to all activities surrounding you.
While zanshin is emphasized in Karate, Aikido, Kendo, Iaido, and other martial arts, the points of emphasis vary. Practitioners too, have differing interpretations. Some kendoka, for example, see it assuming the proper posture at the end of a strike so as to "sell" the point to the judges. Aikidoka tend to focus on nage, or the thrower, rather than the one being thrown.
The point that is often missed is that zanshin does not have an "off" switch. It is not confined to the dojo or tournament floor. It is a state of awareness that should linger in the course of daily life.
In his book, The Sword and the Brush, Dave Lowry maintains that the bugeisha
exhibits it in the most chaotic moments of battle as well as in the periods of his life that are perfectly peaceful.
Danger comes at the most unexpected moments and from the most unexpected places. Whether it is being alert for a follow-up attack after being thrown, or sensing an errant vehicle on the street, the spirit of the martial artist lingers at all times as zanshin.

I am a proud feminist but I'm feeling weary of women at the moment.
For the first time in the history of our nation, there is a smart, qualified, viable female Presidential candidate in the race but instead of vehemently supporting her, women are deafeningly silent. Why?
bell hooks once wrote that "feminism is for everybody," and I sincerely wish that were true, but as of late I'm growing concerned that feminism has become a dirty word to females.
As can be expected from a woman who topples boundaries and smashes ceilings, Hillary Clinton is eliciting a relentless onslaught of criticism and condemnation from the media and public. "She's too experienced." "Too political." "Emotional." "Not emotional enough!" "We need change and she's part of the establishment!"
Since when did a female President become part of The Establishment?
Why are women not raising their voices to support her? This is a historic opportunity. Complacency is a dangerous state, so if there is ever a time to put principle over politics, the time is NOW.
In a polemic that articulates the postmodern, "postfeminist" conundrum our country faces as two minority candidates vie for the oval office, Robin Morgan writes:
During my decades in civil-rights, anti-war, and contemporary womenâs movements, Iâve avoided writing another specific âGoodbye . . .â But not since the suffrage struggle have two communities â joint conscience-keepers of this country â been so set in competition, as the contest between Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) and Barack Obama (BO) unfurls. So.
Goodbye to the double standard . . .
âHillary is too ballsy but too womanly, a Snow Maiden whoâs emotional, and so much a politician as to be unfit for politics.
âSheâs âambitiousâ but he shows âfire in the belly.â (Ever had labor pains?)
âWhen a sexist idiot screamed âIron my shirt!â at HRC, it was considered amusing;
Goodbye to the toxic viciousness . . .
Carl Bernstein's disgust at Hillaryâs âthick ankles.â Nixon-trickster Roger Stoneâs new Hillary-hating 527 group, âCitizens United Not Timidâ (check the capital letters). John McCain answering âHow do we beat the bitch?" with âExcellent question!â
Goodbye to the most intimately violent T-shirts in election history, including one with the murderous slogan âIf Only Hillary had married O.J. Instead!â Shame.
Goodbye to Comedy Centralâs âSouthparkâ featuring a storyline in which terrorists secrete a bomb in HRCâs [female anatomy].
Goodbye to the sick, malicious idea that this is funny. This is not âClinton hating,â not âHillary hating.â This is sociopathic woman-hating. If it were about Jews, we would recognize it instantly as anti-Semitic propaganda; if about race, as KKK poison… PETA would go ballistic if such vomitous spew were directed at animals. Where is our sense of outrageâas citizens, voters, Americans?
Goodbye, goodbye to . . .
âan era when parts of the populace feel so disaffected by politics that a comparative lack of knowledge, experience, and skill is actually seen as attractive, when celebrity-culture mania now infects our elections so that itâs âcoolerâ to glow with marquee charisma than to understand the vast global complexities of power on a nuclear, wounded planet.
As for the âwoman thingâ? Me, Iâm voting for Hillary not because sheâs a womanâbut because I am.

Poem Rocket principals Michael Peters & Sandra Gardner have returned after a multi-year hiatus since the release of their critically-acclaimed Atavistic debut, Psychogeography (alp123cd)- emerging to offer the world a glimpse of their own INVASION!...
"An ecstatic sense of the undertaking or, dead reckoning. Listen: Only love defies this deluge, and therein, in its moist condensations, this tempest of cloud cover defies yourself, your mood... To die for the want of this love. Yes, don't think you're not dying, for the INVASION is just beginning."
Or, put another way, this is an incredibly sophisticated, expansive and densely layered double-album of worthy of your full attention. Thus spoke the critics:
"Forget math rock, this is thesis material." -Alternative Press
"This week's most beautiful pop record And I was told America was dead." -Melody Maker
" a new type of organism the songwriting is just too inventive to bog down in matchmaking." -AP
"I can't get this fucking thing out of my head." -Magnet
INVASION! is truly distinctive, completely realized ALBUM... a musical statement thoughtful & powerful enough to increase one's existential comfort zone needs to find it's way to those who can actually hear it "out there".

WARX2 a new documentary film slated to hit the screens sometime this summer and VOD shortly thereafter, raises the possibility that spiritual forces experienced during warfare may be a significant contributing factor in the high suicide rate of U.S. Veterans.
By exploring the historical use of black magic in warfare by Middle Eastern and African cultures the documentary raises the question of the use of black magic in current regional conflicts and its possible impact on Gulf War veterans.
WARX2 accomplishes its tall task by including interviews with experts in the field, such as John Dimo, a witch doctor from President Obama's hometown of Kogelo, Thomas Muthee, a Kenyan bishop and pastor, famous for praying over Sarah Palin during her Vice Presidential campaign, soldiers who claim to have experienced with those who spiritual attacks as well as a broad range of interviews with people who claim to have firsthand knowledge of witchcraft, spirits, and ghosts.
Created as an attempt to educate people who are unfamiliar with the use of spiritual warfare WARX2 interviews also include information on how to recognize the issue of a possible spiritual backlash and methods for removing any possible "curse".
The rate of suicide of veterans is highly alarming, claiming the lives of over eight thousand former service people from the Gulf War conflicts. This deadly statistic, certainly points to a need to shift the current paradigm for the treatment of veterans who are asked to adjust to the psychic demands of warfare. Has the time arrived to consider the possibility of this non traditional methodology as a course of treatment?

Nashville, TN
Did that headline get your attention? I hope so because I have a really cool artist to tell you about that I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting the other day.
I want to start off by saying this man is brilliant. I had to really pay attention to keep up with him. His name is Ed Roman. He has just released an album and the first single is, "I Told You So," off of his, "Letters from High Latitudes," album. We got together to discuss that and his upcoming radio tour.
One of the first things I told him was that he physically reminded me of Neal Diamond. That did not upset him. He laughed and said:
A Well cool man, Neal's great.
Q Okay, so that didn't make you unhappy me saying that?
A No. Duke Ellington once said there are two kinds of music, good music and bad music. If it is played well there is many genres of it. If it's played poorly there are many genres of that too. When you are kid you go through the growth of your prowess and at a certain point and that's the thing for me, growing up in the 70's as I did I lived in a household of 3 generations of people. So my grandparents were listening to oldies and European stuff. My grandmother was also into popular stuff. She loved the Beatles, Sinatra, and Presley, anybody that was kind of hip and popular. My parents were more of the new Jazz era, Buddy Rich and Coltrane and Jazz and my Dad even liked sort of the new rock movement of the 60's and stuff. We had 8 track tapes. My Dad liked all those old 60's. That was my Dad's stuff and my brothers and sisters who were 10 years older than me were listening to Folk, John Prine, and John Denver. My brother was into a lot of hard rock. He loved a lot of 50's music because there was a resurgence of that in the late 70's early 80's with like Stray Cats and stuff. He loved Eddie Cochran, anything from that sort of 50's genre. When I was coming up it was like I am a young bass player so I liked a lot of modern music. I loved like Level 42 but then I was listening to stuff before my time like Yes and Rush.
Q I was going to say, were you forced to endure the 80's music?
A Well some of the stuff that I got into in the 80's wasn't keyboard oriented. I had such trouble relating to the digital change over because I am string instrument player. I found a loss of mojo in the music. I still found paths of things that I fell in love with like I loved David Byrne from the Talking Heads.
Q Right.
A I liked the stuff like, "Once in a Lifetime." To me that is a desert island tune. For me the 80's was also a time of growth. You know by the time I was 5 I was already buying records?
Q When you were 5?
A Yes, when I was 5 years old I bought a Beatles record.
Q That is so cute. You took your ice cream money and went and bought a Beatles record?
A My grandmother was going to have her hair done and she took me to town and she gave me $5.00 and with that $5.00 I bought, "Meet the Beatles," for $2.50, my first vinyl record.
Q And you remember this distinctly?
A I still have it.
Q No. It was so important to you?
A Oh yeah. My grandmother is in a picture above my stove. She is my Bubba. She won't mind me saying this, even though she is listening. She was more like Yoda.
Q Your Bubba was more like Yoda?
A Well she was this mystic woman. You have to remember she came from the old country but she had this everybody's Bubba feel to her. We grew up in a farming community so we went to each other's houses by bike and it was great distances. Bubba was always there to talk to kids, hang out with them, she would make food. There would always be donuts and other things to eat. She would always have stories to tell. In a neighborhood when you are growing up aside from your own stuff that happens with your parents and all the moral things that you sort of come from, to have somebody like that in your community that feels that way about the kids and the kids get something from it, I feel so blessed. Even today my friends will come and say, "Man your Bubba was great." My earliest experiences to music were because of her because she was singing all the time. I learned that early sense of self-expression and not being afraid through her.
At the same time by Dad was a politician. He was Mayor of our town for 30 some odd years. He was the first coalition candidate ever in Canada to be elected by the region which means they ousted the Liberal and the Conservative leaders and asked my Dad to run as an Independent. He did that for 4 years. For 14 years he was also the Police Commissioner and he was also Head of the Chairman of the Board of York region and started a number of things in the townships that today he gets little or no recognition for because it has been bypassed. The point is he was an incredible guy that was a people person. My Dad ran a cattle farm where he imported cattle into Canada. They were high production lean cow that grew twice as fast.
On top of that the man lived with Multiple Sclerosis for 20 years and then eventually he died of a brain tumor that we found out after surgery and after he passed away. He lived with it all of his life. It centers in the middle of the brain and it grew to a point where it was baseball size in the center of his brain. He should have died between the ages of one and five and he lived to be fifty-five years of age and did all that stuff. I also have him and her as well as my Mom and my brothers and sisters who are all incredible people in their own right as that kind of guidance. My Dad was very adamant about us being involved in politics. At the age of 7 I was canvassing doors. Hi my name is Edward Roman and I am here for the young conservative party. I am canvassing for Mr. Roman. Do you know about Mr. Roman?
Q It should have been the really YOUNG conservative party.
A I was the youngest in the whole party. Those politics extend into my music because of him.
Q I am getting such a kick out of you. You must be very entertaining with your students?
A I love my kids. I learn so much from my students. My students have made me a better musician. Some of my students from over a decade ago are now teaching.
Q I am looking at your tour page. Are you coming to the U.S?
A Well I have a radio station tour but many of them are in Canada.
Q You've just released, "Letters from High Latitudes," and you are doing a radio tour?
A I was on the radio with the U.K. last week and also Singapore. I have an incredible fan base in Malaysia; over 50 thousand people follow me in Malaysia.
Q That is cool. Where is your album available?
A Right across the board from Amazon to iTunes. You can get it at the website. There is a store there where you can purchase not only the current record but my prior release.
Q Can people get it autographed?
A They can if they order it from me, I will sign it. When you place your order there is a little comment section and put your name down and I will definitely sign it. There will be tee shirts and some hats, some pins. I have a lunch box idea.
Q A lunch box, you kill me.
With that we began our goodbyes. I know I will talk to this man again. He was really so much fun to talk with and he has such an interesting mind. He just launched a new website at: www.EdRoman.net

We use the longitudinal nature of the master file of the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics in Canada for the period 1993–99 to estimate the employment impacts for older workers of the large number (24) of minimum wage increases that have occurred across the different provincial jurisdictions over that period. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, the minimum wage increases have positive impacts on the employment of older workers compared with the negative impacts that are commonly estimated for youths in Canada. The results are robust across various comparison groups and measures of the minimum wage increases. Reasons for this unusual finding are discussed.

Rome, Italy - In the second consecutive meeting against the Dutch National Team in Rome, Italy on Sunday evening, the UCLA women's basketball team lost a close contest, 50-46. The Bruins had two chances to tie in the final seconds but were unable to score.
UCLA got off to a slow start, falling behind 12-2 to start the game and 22-10 at the end of the first quarter. The Bruins picked things up in the second quarter, using a 12-0 run to pull to within two, 25-23. Jasmine Dixon and Mariah Williams keyed the run with five and four points apiece, and Rhema Gardner hit a three-pointer with 3:42 left in the quarter to cap the run. But the Dutch came back with a 6-0 run of its own to extend the lead to 31-23 at the half.
The Bruins continued to chip at the lead in the third quarter and got the score down to 36-35, after another three by Gardner with 27 seconds left in the period. In the fourth quarter, Dixon put the Bruins on her shoulders and ran off six consecutive points to tie the game at 44 with 2:45 to play. But a three-point play by center Naomi Halman gave the Dutch the 47-44 advantage with 1:56 to play.
A pair of Dixon free throws with 22 seconds left put UCLA to within one, 47-46, and the Bruins fouled with 18 seconds remaining. The Dutch made one of two free throws, giving UCLA possession again with 18 seconds left and a chance to tie or go ahead. Dixon missed on a layup attempt but got her own rebound. However, her second attempt, in heavy traffic, failed to go down, and the Bruins fouled with one second left. The Dutch made both free throws for the final score.
Dixon led the Bruins in scoring once again with 13 points. Rebekah Gardner added nine, Rhema Gardner had eight, and Williams scored six. Moriah Faulk scored four, and Thea Lemberger and Atonye Nyingifa each added three to contribute to the Bruins' scoring total.
UCLA will next travel to Venice and will play Italian club team Udine on Wednesday, Aug. 24.

Designers, the challenge his week is to design something for a really TACKY AND CHEAP WEDDING!
Oh, Project Runway. How you have fallen.
We like the idea of an unconventional wedding dress challenge, but they had to go and fuck it up by adding a second dress, forcing them into teams, and giving them mere hours to complete the task. In other words, once again, the show designs a challenge that all but guarantees terrible results. This is what the show wants now. Long gone are the days when you could expect to see gasp-worthy designs walk that runway. Today everyone oohs and aahs over anything that has a finished hem. The rest of the stuff is just fodder for the judges' bitchy one liners. The shittier the clothes, the more material they have.
And if that wasn't bad enough…
We had to be subjected to not only a manufactured attempt at drama but a BORING AS HELL manufactured attempt at drama. Nothing actually happened on camera except a lot of tight smiles, evasions, and vaguely passive aggressive behavior. That Korina and Amanda don't like each other seems apparent, but aside from that, there was nothing else to say about the matter.
But we were informed that Korina said something mean to Amanda and then watched as they were "randomly" put on the same team together. Then? Nothing. Although a whole hell of a lot of camera time was spent on that nothing, as we watched Amanda talk about her feelings and watched Korina struggle with her design and watched Amanda help Korina with her designer but possibly maybe sabotaged it slightly because the pants were too tight. And after all that non-drama, they wound up being the only designers waved through as safe and not given a critique. A total waste of time with no payoff whatsoever and the only reason so much time was devoted to it was because the producers are inexplicably devoted to some sort of Amanda storyline. We've joked about it several times already, but they really do seem determined to create an Anya or Gretchen character, except Amanda's neither as bitchy as Gretchen was, nor as likely to manipulate a situation as Anya was. She's just not that interesting, producers.
So congrats to Sean? We guess? Sure, there's some slight interest to this design, and we fully acknowledge how lacklustre most of the other entries were, but THIS is the winner of an "unconventional wedding dress" challenge? What the hell kind of crack are you smoking, judges?
The post-show online consensus seems to be that Kini was robbed and sure, we can see giving him the win for this. We don't think it's a very interesting design, but it was definitely one of the better ones on the runway. The judges, however, seemed more impressed by how much he managed to complete in such a short period of time, rather than what he designed. And we tend to agree with them on that. Kini is impressive for his skills, but not necessarily his designs. He was pretty bent out of shape that Sean won when he basically made the pants for his outfit, but that's the thing. This isn't a sewing competition. Speed and technique will get you some praise from the judges but you have to actually give them something to be excited about.
Or you have to be someone the producers are excited about.
For all the attempts at making this seem like a dramatic disaster, it was perfectly fine and inoffensive. Bound to be waved through.
To be honest, we thought Amanda's was a much weaker piece. There's just not a lot going on here. Then again, that could be a metaphor.
Goth wedding dresses are a huge cliche. Anyone who defaulted to this idea should have immediately ripped up their sketch and started over. It's about as conventional as you can get with an unconventional wedding gown. There's an entire cottage industry surrounding goth-style weddings at this point.
The only thing of interest is the hood. The sleeves are overwhelming and the skirt was one texture too far.
Once again, fäde probably should have won it. Unfortunately for him, Heidi found this dress too demure.
No, seriously. She complained that the neckline was too high. This is why you just can't take this seriously as a competition anymore.
Horrible. It looks like a gown being attacked by a bath mat.
Another bland design from the most forgettable of the designers.
The wheels are starting to come off the Sandhya bus. She wowed the judges a few times early on by being colorful and unexpected, but it's becoming clear (to us, anyway) that those seem to be the only tricks in her bag. We have yet to see a design of hers that could be called chic or stylish. And that would be fine if all of her work was editorial or innovative, but a lot of it, like the above, is just plain crap.
And it's Auf Wiedersehen to Char, which is a shame, because we really liked her. We don't have much of an argument against the elimination, though. She didn't produce impressive enough work during the competition and this was arguably the worst look on the runway this week. Her mistake was that she let Sandhya railroad her into this color, which she had reservations about from the very beginning. Between this and the fighting with Hernan, you can bet no one's going to want to be on a team with her again.

communications strategies for policy change
As more and more nonprofits embrace social media, there is a temptation to dive in head-first and immediately place a very large emphasis (and time commitment) in the area.
This may not be the best course of action for nonprofits, according to one of care2's latest blog posts.
In the post, author Allyson Kapin debunks five myths about social media, and explains why embracing social media does not have to be (and sometimes should NOT be) the same as doing everything available.
Read the full blog post here to find out the five things your nonprofit organization should NOT do when moving into social media.

Ever since Monday, a stray dog in Westminster, S.C. who apparently doesn't want anything to do with humans, continues to elude capture even though his sight is greatly limited due to an air conditioning duct pipe stuck firmly on the dog's head and neck posted the Facebook page of Upstate Animal Rescue.
The dog has not been able to drink or eat.
As of two hours ago, on Saturday afternoon, the group put out a plea for someone with a dart or tranquilizer rifle to help capture the dog affectionately named Piper.
No one has been able to get close enough to the dog to even try and sedate him. The group thinks the dog may have been abandoned as a puppy.
"No animal control officer or veterinarian was ever close enough to Piper to even consider discharging a tranquilizer weapon, the target must be about 25 yards for the dart to reach, so since Piper is usually about 100 yards from the professional, there is no need to even attempt to tranquilize."
On Friday, the dog was spotted several times; traps have been set and four qualified Animal Control Officers as well as veterinarians and technical workers are on the scene evaluating the dog's well being.
Unfortunately the setting where Piper has taken cover is in an expansive 500 acres of thickly wooded forests with abundant wild life; some wild animals deemed to be dangerous and unsafe for the public to come out and watch.
The group's latest report is asking for everyone to be patient; cell phones and all electronics are turned off so as not to scare Piper with any other unnecessary noises:
" I'm going to give a quick update on Piper. This is all we can really report at this time. Piper has calmed down and seems more relaxed today than before. He is walking around with his friend (a female that has been with him for over a year). There are doctors and professionals on site that are watching Piper and his friend. Traps are set and there is food and water placed all over the place for both of these babies. Because all electronic devices on site are shut down, I will not be able to give another update until either Piper is caught or until night fall."
Once captured, Piper will need medical care. If you would like to help this dog, you can donate through PayPal firstname.lastname@example.com or mail to UARSC PO Box 195 Townville, SC 29689.
We're rooting for you Piper!

Material Property Dualism (MPD) predicts there is something material in our brain which has the subjective qualities, such as redness, we experience. While Functional Property Dualism predicts the same experience will "arize" from "anything functionally equivalent" from neurons to silicone this theory predicts that without the right stuff, in the right state, a redness experience will not be possible. A quality like redness could be a quality of anything from quantum effects to some form of electromagnetic phenomenon, as being predicted by various sub camps theories.
David Chalmers authored the paper "Consciousness and its Place in Nature" where he nicely classifies various camps about consciousness. This Material Property Dualism camp is similar to the theories he classified as "Type F Monist".
MPD predicts qualities like a redness quale are the most absolutely fundamental properties in existence. Most people accept that the causal physical properties we can detect with our senses and scientific instruments are a fundamental part of nature. MPD predicts this is correct, but it also predicts that we must additionally realize that all we know of these causal physical properties, is abstracted information about their behavior we interpret from our senses. Because of the quale interpretation problem we are blind to anything other than this abstracted information about these behaviors. Our senses can't know any qualitative (in the quale sense) information of any natural stuff they are detecting. The world in our head image by Steven Lehar is meant to portray this in a vivid schematic way.
The Idealized Effing Theory World predicts it is something like glutamate that has a redness property, which our brain uses to 'paint' our phenomenal knowledge of a strawberry with. When we think of a strawberry out there we are perceiving, we imagine it as having a redness property. We tend to think of this redness quality as causing the surface of the strawberry to reflect 650 NM light. But of course, this would be a mistaken way to think about it, since if we add a red vs green inverter anywhere in the perception process, we will then represent the strawberry with knowledge that is made of greenness. Obviously, the greenness has nothing to do with the surface of the strawberry, and is only a concept in our mind we are using to think about the strawberry with.
But what, then is redness a quality of, and how is the best way to think about it? Material Property Dualism predicts the best way to think about a redness quality, is just the way we intuitively think of it as a property of the strawberry, causing 650 NM light to be reflected. It's just that redness is not a quality of the strawberry, it is a quality of something our brain is using as our knowledge of such. The causal properties of the neural correlates we already know about are what the qualities are causing, instead of the light being reflected off of the surface of the strawberry, because of its redness quality.
Obviously, 650 NM light doesn't reflect off of the strawberry, because we think of it as having a redness quality. But something, casual, is going on in our mind, because it does have a redness quality we can experience. We only say, yes, that is our redness, precisely because of its fundamental phenomenal quality. But, obviously, if we look at such brain stuff with abstracted observation systems that suffer from the quale interpretation problem, we will be completely missing a large part of why the particular behaviors we are observing, are behaving the way they are.
In the Idealized Effing Theory World, imagine if we set up an experiment where we repeatedly replaced different neurotransmitters representing someone's knowledge of a red point on the surface of a strawberry. The person would repeatedly say that is not my redness, until you used what really did have the redness property - glutamate. Of course, that is how it would be experienced. If you looked at this same system with an observation method that sufferers from the quale interpretation problem, since you would be completely blind to any of the fundamental phenomenal properties, the system would just look like a very good detector of glutamate. And you'd be able to simulate such abstracted knowledge in any old abstract computer system. But, you'd be missing quite a bit about why it was working the way it was working, and why it was capable of only saying "yes, that is my redness" with nothing but glutamate.
We think of bits, in a computer, the same way we think of redness on the surface of a strawberry. We imagine little ones and zeros laid out on a spinning disk the head is reading. But, just like the the fact that there is no redness on the surface of the strawberry, there are no ones or zeros on a spinning disk. The "bits" or abstracted information are all in our head. Just like you can invert the red/green signal in our perception process, you could add a bit inverter on the USB output of a hard disk. Even though the hard disk hasn't changed at all, other than this inverter on the output, suddenly all the ones are now zeros and visa versa.
In our brain, these ones and zeros can be strung together to make something like 0xFF0000, and we can think of this as 'red', 'stop' or even as representation of reality on which a higher level simulated computer is built and operating. But, again, none of these higher levels exist in the computer, they only exist in our head, as different ways to think about the fundamental natures of the stuff we've organized independent of whatever might be interpreted as representing such. No matter what level you think about it in any such abstracted way, it has no effect on the fundamental causal properties which we are interpreting at the fundamental basement, or any other, level. Other than our abstracted interpretations about any of the representations, it's all just the physical stuff, at the basement level, being interpreted at whatever level we decide in our heads.
Possibly starting with Alan Turing, and as our digital computers become ever more capable, there has been a growing in popularity idea that 'information' is more fundamental than any of these fundamental natures. One version of this kind of thinking is captured in the idea of "digital physics" which is making predictions like you can '''"get it from bit"'''. But, again, the 'it' you get from any higher level simulated 'bit', doesn't really exist. 'bits' are just an abstracted way to think of the fundamental natures we've organized to behave the way we want them to, so we can think of them or interpret them as this 'it' we got from the 'bit'.
It seems to us to be sloppy thinking when people like Daniel Dennett make a claim like we don't have qualia 'it just seems like we do'. This is because we rigorously define 'seem' to be having knowledge that doesn't accurately represent its referent'. Given that definition the mistake becomes clear. Perhaps people that think this way are thinking of some other definition of what it means "to seem"?
Similarly, when intelligent people make a claim like we can get "it from bit" they are making yet another sloppy thinking mistake. Perhaps you can define 'information' and 'bits' in a different way, such that it is possible to base a theory of fundamental physics on such ideas - but you certainly can't use the common sense definition of an abstracted 'bit' as we've rigorously defined it here: "A 'bit' of information is only some way to interpret whatever is representing it, in a particular way, and has nothing to do with the representations fundamental natures which are being interpreted as such."

Remembering Phil Urso (1925-2008)
The public image of West Coast jazz has always emphasized the cool and laid-back aspects of the music. But hot players – such as Clifford Brown, Charles Mingus, Eric Dolphy -- also thrived in proximity to the California coast.
Chet Baker & Crew (Urso on far right)
Tenor saxophonist Phil Urso, who passed away yesterday in Denver, combined the best of both sensibilities. He possessed a hard bop intensity, softened by a Lester Young-ish tone, and for a period during the mid-1950s he ranked among the most promising young players on the scene. But Urso's destiny was to become one of those forgotten musicians who, lacking a flair for self-promotion, are eventually relegated to the sidelines.
Drummer John Arcotta, who knew Urso late in life, after the tenorist's move to the Denver area, commented back in 1999: "Even today, I see a lot of animosity toward Phil. I think people take Phil for granted. The guy was a monster -- he'd come out on the bandstand and kick everybody's ass, even his own. Knowing musically what he knows, I think people get a little intimidated."
Urso enjoyed stints with Woody Herman and Elliot Lawrence, and Claude Thornhill, and performed for a short while with Miles Davis. But he is best known for his collaborations with Chet Baker, which began in the mid-1950s and continued sporadically until the early 1970s. In 1954, Baker lost the services of pianist Russ Freeman, and toyed with the idea of launching his own pianoless quartet, emulating his successful unit with Gerry Mulligan. He chose Urso to fill the sax role in the band, and though the pianoless approach did not go far, the tenorist proved to be an inspired front line player, and the two musicians worked effectively together in a variety of settings.
In truth, Urso was a reluctant West Coaster. He was more at home on the East Coast scene, where he frequented Birdland and other NY clubs. When he started gigging with Baker in Los Angeles, Urso stayed at a motel on Hollywood and Western, rather than settle down in a city that was too spread out for his tastes. He preferred the convenience of the New York subway to car culture. But in time, Urso would choose the middle of the country over either coast, gravitating back to Denver, where he had spent much of boyhood.
Urso can be heard to good measure on the Chet Baker & Crew LP, which is one of the trumpeter's more vibrant releases from this period. I remember the trouble I had tracking down this album in the 1980s, when I was researching my book on the history of West Coast jazz. I finally found a copy at collector's store in Silicon Valley, where I had to trade in around two dozen other jazz albums to get my hands on this rarity. (Some things do change for the better. These days this release is easily found on CD or for download.) Even the cover, showing the band out sailing, conveys a sense of the robustness of the musical give-and-take. William Claxton recently recalled how Chet (who was quite athletic and active despite his addict image) was the only member of the group who enjoyed this contrived photo setting, and hammed it up for the camera. But in the studio, Urso shined, offering up solid solos and providing an effective spur for Baker.
Around this same time, Urso released his debut leader date, The Philosophy of Urso. Although it received a rare five star review in Down Beat, it remains a hard-to-find collector's item today. If you found it in a store, you would probably need to trade in a box of goodies in exchange. But it would be worth it. Although Urso never became a jazz star, he continued to enjoy a small but loyal following, especially among the more knowledgeable fans who appreciated his artistry.
Urso cherished a letter he received from Baker in 1971, which began: "I have always felt you were and are the most underrated of America's jazz players and composers." And Baker, who had an exceptional ear even by jazz standards, was a discriminating judge of talent. In his final CD, Urso offered a tribute to Baker, returning to many of the same songs they had performed together in the 1950s.
Today, in honor of Phil Urso, jazz.com is featuring his performance with Chet Baker on "To Mickey's Memory," from 1956, as the classic jazz track of the day.

I played drums with Phil the last few years that he was playing. Although he physically would tire easily, the ideas continued to flow in abundance. He was a first-class guy and a tremendous artist...he will truly be missed here in Denver...and the world over.

I saw in the Obits. today the news of Phil passind. I have known Phil, most of my lifde as well as his family. He was a good friend, a great sax man. Teacher and drinking buddy. I and the world have lost a unique talent a one of a kind. RIP

I was saddened to hear of Phil Urso's passing. I played trombone with him in Denver during the 70's and his playing was always very creative and inspiring. He was a good friend and teacher as well. His wife Bruna was always very supportive and he will be greatly missed by friends and family. He was unique.

This is Artt Frank. I was Chet Baker's closest friend, favorite drummer and confidant. I also knew Phil quite well. In fact, we spoke on the phone many, many times. In point of fact, I talked to him not more than a month ago...and he wasn't feeling all that strong then. Man, what a shock when I leanred of his passing. Its true that Chet loved Phil's playing. He felt very strongly that Phil was one of the most swinging and lyrical tenor saxophonist of any era, and I fully agree. I've always loved Phil's playing, especially his choice of notes and phrasing. He will be sorely missed by me, and I'm sure every musician who knew of him. He was one of the unsung greats!!!! Chet loved him both as a friend and player, and oftentimes mentioned how much he liked having Phil on the stand beside him to 'blow off of'. They were absolutely great together. I remember seeing Phil almost every time I'd go to Birdland. Man! There's not many of us original bop players left. I just turned 75 myself this past March. And the 20th anniversary of Chet's untimely death is soon coming up on May the 13th. I recently finished my book of memoirs about Chet which I call, "CHET-The Man Behind The Horn." and it reveals the side of Chet that the world knew nothing about. For those of you who might be intertested. His son Paul founded the Chet Baker Foundation a little over a year ago. Check out the website at (chetbakerfoundation.org) and take a look at the two different Honorary lists that I put together. In closing. I offer a prayer up to almighty GOD for my dear friend Phil Urso. GOD rest your dear soul Phil. Artt Frank (arttfrank.com)

Phil was a pro. I played piano with him off and on. I remember how he'd call the change to me as he continued playing. This last wkend I ran across his name on YouTube and Eliot Lawrence mentioned Phil. My thoughts go out to Bruna and Stephanie.

Restructuring: Don't Mention It
We're very naughty here at Real Time Brussels Headquarters. This week, the Brussels Beat column addresses a topic that EU officials will barely deign to discuss: restructuring of Greek debt.
"Let's be very concrete and precise," EU President Herman Van Rompuy said last week. The Greek package "does not include any provisions for debt restructuring."
Perhaps, but many private economists would say it's inevitable nonetheless.
Two reasons predominate: First, the budget-slashing measures Greece must endure for several years are brutal. If the Greek authorities throw in the towel, a restructuring will follow. But second, even if the emergency budget surgery does succeed, Greece will be left in a few years with a gigantic debt burden, paying around 20% of its annual government revenue in interest to its creditors. And it will still need to borrow just as much from the private markets as it did last year. That's not a tasty recipe.
The column goes through the budget math, but one thing we couldn't squeeze into the four corners of a newspaper page is a look at how, if it comes to that, a restructuring might play out.
For that we turn here to an interesting paper by Lee C. Buchheit, a lawyer at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton in New York and the dean of the sovereign-debt bar, and G. Mitu Gulati of Duke University's law school.
They assess the legal features of Greek debt and size up several pros and cons of the Greek legal structure.
There are a few disadvantages: Many Greek banks hold a lot of government debt, so Greece would have to be careful not to upset the local banking system too much. Same goes for big European banks. And a restructuring could have ripple effects into the euro zone, since Greek debt is almost all denominated in euros.
But the advantages loom larger: Greece's debt is largely bonds and those bonds are largely held by big institutions (not widows and orphans), simplifying negotiations with creditors. The big one, Messrs. Buchheit and Gulati write, is that perhaps 90% or more of Greece's debt was issued under Greek law.
Often, emerging-market countries are all but forced into issuing debt under foreign law, since international investors don't want to chance litigating claims in a far-off court in a country with a shaky and fickle legal system. But just as investors once mistakenly considered Greek debt to be nearly as safe as German debt, they also apparently figured there was no problem operating under the laws of Greece, it being a euro-zone country.
Now that works in Greece's favor. Write Messrs. Buchheit and Gulati:
No other debtor country in modern history has been in a position significantly to affect the outcome of a sovereign debt restructuring by changing some feature of the law by which the vast majority of the instruments are governed.
The two suggest a new "Mopping-Up Law"–details in the paper–might ease a restructuring. How long would it take? "If done efficiently, five to six months, less if necessary."

Romney Goes Negative in New Hampshire
Susan Davis reports from Des Moines, Iowa, on the presidential race.
There may be no better sign of Sen. John McCain's growing strength in New Hampshire than Mitt Romney's decision to go negative today on him in a statewide television ad. Romney is the only candidate to run intra-party negative tv ads so far this primary season. The former Massachusetts governor has also run attack ads on Mike Huckabee in Iowa, who surged in the polls to deteriorate Romney's once formidable lead here.
Romney has been increasingly on the defensive in New Hampshire's Jan. 8 primary as well, as McCain has regained ground since his campaign imploded earlier this year and is now polling behind Romney in the state. "John McCain, an honorable man. But is he the right Republican for the future?" the ad states, "McCain opposes repeal of the death tax, and voted against the Bush tax cuts twice. McCain pushed to let every illegal immigrant stay here permanently. Even voted to allow illegals to collect Social Security. And Mitt Romney? Mitt Romney cut taxes and spending as Governor. He opposes amnesty for illegals. Mitt Romney. John McCain. There is a difference."
A spokesman for McCain did not immediately respond for comment, but the Arizona Senator's campaign is up with their own, more positive, ad in the Granite State. McCain's ad touts his endorsement from 20 New Hampshire newspapers in recent days.
UPDATE 10:25 a.m.: In an interview this morning on Fox News "Fox and Friends," McCain said: "If there's any doubt that we're doing well, it's when Mitt Romney starts attacking. He's attacking Huckabee out here in Iowa. I'm familiar with tailspins and I think he's in one. Look, on the issue of immigration, my position is clear: We have to secure the borders, the borders have to be secured first. As president I would have the governors in the border states certify that the borders are secure. We learned a lesson and the message is they want the borders secured first. Then we go on to a temporary worker program and addressing the issue comprehensively. Look, I've never voted for a tax increase — Governor Romney increased taxes. I don't know how to respond to a lot of his charges because tomorrow he may have a different position. … [Governor Romney has changed positions] on every issue, it's a matter of record. And I haven't changed."

Bee keeper called to Royal Naval Air Station
An instructor at Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose was confronted by swarming bees when he arrived at work.
Air Engineer Petty Officer Si Baker, who is responsible for the station's Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) defence cell, had to call for help from a local bee keeper when he found the swarm outside his office window.
Fortunately he had full protective kit which he needs for his day job.
Les Tonkin from the West Cornwall Bee Keepers Association took them away to - hopefully - start a new colony.
Somerset's bee population affected by floods
The population of a rare bumblebee found in Somerset may have been badly affected by this year's floods.
Conservationists are worried that the number of Shrill Carder Bees in the region are decreasing. The bees get their name from the way they make a high pitched sound when moving their muscles.

Scientists call for more control over bee imports
Scientists have today called for greater controls on the importing of Bumble Bees after tests found more than three quarters were carrying parasites that can wipe out colonies.
Government bee inspectors are out most days examining hives for signs of disease and the presence of the Varroa Mite which in part destroyed up to 40% of South West hives last year.
Somerset schoolchildren work to help bumblebees
Bumblebees - which have recently been in decline - were given a helping hand today when children from Catcott Primary school near Bridgwater took to the Somerset Levels, trowels in hand, to plant their favourite flowers.

Bees under threat from wet summer
Bees under threat from wet summer
The West Country's bee population is under threat from the effects of the wet summer.
The government's National Bee Unit has advised beekeepers of a starvation risk and is encouraging them to leave out emergency supplies of sugar and syrup.
Staple crops that bees feed on such as fruit blossom have been damaged by heavy rainfall in May and June.
Persistent rain can also prevent honey bees from being able to fly.
Last winter colony numbers in England also fell by 16.2%. If numbers continue to dwindle it could have a huge impact on the wider food chain.
The British Beekeepers Association says: "Honey bees are important pollinators and we rely heavily on them for much of the food that is on our plate in one way or another. All sorts of crops are pollinated by honey bees, including fruit and many vegetables."
Bad weather hits honey harvest

Why should you be involved in Neighborhood Watch? Because studies
show that 7 out of 10 Americans do not even know who their neighbors
are. Because criminals find it easier to operate in neighborhoods
where people do not know each other, where a thief won't have
to worry about someone calling the police since residents pay little
attention to what is going on around them.
What would you do if you saw a strange man climbing in your neighbor's
window? Wheeling a bicycle out of their garage? Stealing things from
a parked car?
Neighborhood Watch asks you to be more aware of what's happening
around you. Because you spend much more time in your neighborhood
then a patrol deputy ever could, you can play an important role in
preventing crime by keeping your eyes and ears open.
By staying alert and promptly reporting suspicious activities, you
could help prevent crimes and make your neighborhood a safer place
to live.
Neighborhood Watch is about sharing information. For instance, the
we ask that you share information with us by calling when you see
criminal or suspicious activity in your neighborhood. It's
also a good idea that neighbors keep each other informed about vacations
or trips so you can watch out for each other's homes while
you are away.
In return, we share information with you about what types of activity
are being reported in your area. We'll tell you how to use
911 and tell you about some prevention techniques that can help protect
your property from theft, burglary and other crimes.
Neighborhood Watch is not about attending lots of meetings. Two
meetings, each about an hour long, is all it takes to get a watch
group started. These are informal get-togethers, usually held in
your neighborhood. After that, it's simply a matter of watching
out for suspicious activity in your neighborhood and calling the
police whenever you see something suspicious. The more people who
participate, the more effective the group is likely to be.
Neighborhood Watch is not a vigilante program. It does not give
any authority to people to act like police officers, take risks or
be heroes. It is not an excuse to poke noses in other people's
business. It is an obligation to look out for each other as neighbors
and to inform the police whenever something is going on that seems
suspicious or out of the ordinary and may require investigation by
a deputy.
So, Neighborhood Watch isn't a "law enforcement program."
It is a neighborhood program that asks ordinary people to do simple
things to improve the security of their neighborhood. It does not
come with any promises or guarantees, but it provides a way to get
involved and prevent crime if neighbors will simply agree to help
each other.
If this sounds like something you would like to start in your neighborhood,
please contact Sgt. James Lynch by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Theft from Motor Vehicles
Typically, young people go out at night, roam the streets, parking
lots and driveways, climb into parked vehicles and steal whatever
they can find. Coins, CDs, sunglasses, maybe a wallet or purse.
What can you do?
1. When parking vehicles outside, always lock the doors. These
potential thieves generally don't have the skills or the
patience to unlock a door. This is a crime of opportunity.
2. Store anything valuable out of sight. Park in a locked garage
if you can. Put all valuables in the trunk, under a seat or blanket.

Note to parents: Most of these thefts are committed by juveniles.
If your son/daughter can not tell you exactly where the new CD/sunglasses,
etc., came from, please find out. These thefts are not an innocent
pastime, they are a crime.

*Research Executor Herod was a middle aged man, in about his late 40's. Short, but slim, grey hair had already taken over his head, which his hair was cut short. A pair of saftey goggles were hung around his neck, and his lab coat was open. Underneith, his standerd Imperial Uniform was on. He was looking over the latest diagnostics checks from the mornings test. Outpreforming by all imaginable standards and theory. He chuckled. Emperor Palpatine though this was a fools errand, but Cracken knew better. His work could finally be finished.
A tech came up to him, and handed him a datapad. He looked at it, and looks a bit surprised. Cracken sent his lapdog out here to investigate the progress of "Starscream"? Good. He gazed outside the window to his lab and looked out on what he had helped create.
On the surface, it was a regular Super Star Destroyer. However, he saw the second test beginning. the top surface of the Destroyer began to move apart, an idea that came from the old
Class Star Destroyers from the Clone Wars. The now empty space was bristled with turbo laser cannons, and hire powered projectile cannons. In the middle, moved up a superlaser. It fired, 3 times in rapid succession, blowing apart 3 Star Destroyers. He smiled. It worked. "Starscream" worked.

*Alysara mused. Her diplomacy skills were signifigantly lacking. Most of her life was spend either retrieving object A, or killing person B, or delivering object C to person B, then killing Person B. None of this fancy let's talk.
A junior officer came up to her, giving her a small data pad. She looked at it. Her father recieved the report, and was enroute. She hit a button on her command chair, hailing her "uncle".*
Alysara: Well, your "brother is on his way. He is most displeased about your apparent open hostilities....
The name brought hate from the deepest recesses of Cracken's being. Loathing, all out driven disgust. His "adoptive" brother, one of Father's disciples during the Jedi Purge, and he quickly became of of his favorites. Oh how overjoyed Cracken was when Agric was sent to the Unknown Regions.
But he was back. Why? The Empire was his, as Father always dictated. His eyes narrowed on the bridge of the SSD
, and looked at the clock holo. 15 minutes to reversion. a compliment of 15 Star Destroyers followed, in a hyperspace lane only known to him, bypassing all the reversion jumps that take so long. He knew at least 2 Star Destroyers would not make the voyage, but he didn't mind. He would find out what his brother wanted, and if nothing has changed since.... possibly kill him.
Besides, he was physically far younger now. Old Agric must be in his 50's. Cracken was physically in his mid 30's. He remembered that, his unfortunate first run in with Deac and his merry band. ANother task, for another time....

Documenting the story of her great uncle, an ordinary Yorkshireman who fought and died in the First World War, has been a decade's work for author Susan Laffey.
The result of this labour of love, Jack Garbutt: The Bilsdale Bombardier, was recently launched in the soldier's titular hometown near Stokesley in North Yorkshire.
This sort of local history book is not uncommon. What makes this one different, however, is the amount of detailed information logged in its eight chapters.
It starts off as a history of the Garbutt family in Bilsdale then focuses on what was thought of at the time as the great adventure', the First World War.
Jack Garbutt was a farm labourer, without education, who briefly became a policeman before enlisting in the Royal Field Artillery in August 1914. "Sadly, at the age of 22, after surviving the horrors of the Somme, Passchendaele, without injury for three-and-a-half years, and after travelling over 750 miles around northern France and Belgium, his luck ran out," his great niece writes.
But wait, why did she embark on this book in the first place if there were no heroic tales of derring-do to relate?
In a brief introduction she explains. "Jack's story is a reflection of what was happening all over the nation; young men were removed from their own locality to environments and conditions never before imagined and still barely believable. That any of these men survived, we can be surprised; that so many died is shocking.
"As the 90th anniversary of the Armistice approaches it is fitting that Jack's story is preserved in this book. He is not famous, nor is he distinguished, but he is a symbol of all the ordinary men from Bilsdale and around the world who did their bit when the call came."
That is well said. So how did Jack Garbutt die? After the family received notification from the Army that on March 21, 1918, he was reported missing, believed dead, his sister Gladys wrote to the Army authorities in France requesting more information.
On May 22, 1918, she got a reply from Second Lieutenant Frank W Pearse. Jack Garbutt and another Bombadier were his acting Non-Commissioned Officers in charge of six wagons taking shells to the British guns. He wrote that they came under enemy fire from heavy calibre German guns.
He went on: "One of the drivers and two of the horses of the leading team were wounded and my horse was badly wounded also. I got the leading wagon out of the way and ordered the remaining wagons to proceed. I then shot my horse and caught, after some difficulty, one that was riderless "When we got to a sunken point in the road, more or less under cover, I ascertained that both my NCOs were missing. I assumed that your brother had fallen from his horse and would, in due course, report at the wagon lines. The place in question soon fell into enemy hands and if he was hit and survived, the enemy would have, no doubt, informed our Government through the usual channels. As up to now the division has heard nothing. I fear (and with this the commanding officer agrees) that he must have been killed"
The author records that from the start of the war 4,970,902 men from the British Isles enlisted, of whom 704,803 were killed. Of the 41 men from Bilsdale, 14 were killed, including Bombardier Jack.
As an object, the book is a fine example of craftsmanship: printing that's easy on the eye, a good layout and the spine is stitched and glued. These days perfect binding, as it's called, is rare, especially in small presses.
This is only the second book published by Otley-based Waltersgill Photography and Publishing, whichwas set up last year by former bookbinder Daniel J Walters.

We've been obsessed with this steamer trunk secretary for far too long, but the fact is, it just wouldn't fit into our lives, literally or figuratively. Thankfully, there's this Voyager Steamer Desk ($699 on sale) which fits into both our home offices and our budgets, and is nearly as awesome as its gigantic counterpart.

De Koning's work, often temporary site-specific installations, deals with the inter-relation between architecture and the way the observer or participant perceives the space. For Design Miami, de Koning will create several 'gathering' areas within the fair in which people can sit, rest, and talk to one another. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the Netherlands Cultural Services (New York)Continue

Bush-era restrictions on California's ability to impose tougher vehicle emissions standards in the state are due to be lifted by the Environmental Protection Agency today, a move Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called a "huge step for our emerging green economy".
Seagrasses are flowering plants found in shallow coastal waters on which an estimated 70 percent of the world's marine life depends. Thirty percent of seagrass meadows have disappeared since 1879, and the process is accelerating, a new study finds.
Data just released from a study which ended in 1999 shows many woodland bird species in Britain suffered large declines over the previous three decades, with nightingales worst affected – numbers were down some 95%.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has given in to pressure and finally released a secret list of 44 power plant coal ash disposal sites that pose the highest danger to human life if leaks were to occur.
A salutary warning about biologic controls: the Asian Harlequin ladybird, introduced to Europe to control pest insects, has in five years spread throughout the UK and is said to now threaten over 1000 other species. Other biologic agents such as types of wasps and mites are being trialled to counter the ladybirds in turn.
Food staples such as cassava, on which hundreds of millions of people depend, become toxic and release cyanide gas as more CO2 builds up in the atmosphere, Australian scientists report – as well as producing smaller yields.

Family favorite recipes. Some have been passed down while others we have just discovered. I have to be inspired by a picture in order to make something so there are lots of pictures in this book. This book has a lot of desserts but I hope to do others cookbooks that will be more well balanced. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as we do.
