Next time you're dangling from a rope in the middle of a Yosemite big wall, ripping downhill on a bike headed into a logging road hairpin or zipping shut your tent in occupied hyena habitat deep in the African bush, take a moment to ponder all the ways you get yourself going too high, too fast and too far out for your own good.
We all take risks and manage them as best we can. Consider climbing rope: When it becomes visibly frayed, you replace it. Few people tackle Moab's bike trails knowing that their brake pads are as smooth as slickrock. And I do not go to sleep in the bush wearing the Baggies that I drenched with anchovy oil during dinner. Risk is part of the fabric of life. We can learn to deny, avoid and reduce risk, but we can never eliminate surprise. We all know this now – post-September 11, 2001 – more than we ever did before. Yet while humans will always struggle to live with uncertainty, surprise is one of nature's ways of running the world. Unpredictability and nature's creative power are what yield biodiversity – the bewildering array of tropical orchids, the mysterious arc of monarch butterfly migration and the habits of bears all trace back to the endless recombination of the genetic building blocks of life.
We don't run the world. But with the creation of transgenic, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), we are acting as if we do. And because we think we are running the world, we have never thought through what risk really means as we splice our way into Earth's genetic pool. Like a climber on a 5.10 pitch with a thunderstorm approaching who discounts the behavior of lightning, if we don't gauge the risk of GMOs we can never judge well whether we should proceed or retreat.
Some would argue that with GMOs the decision to proceed has already been made. In 1996, four million acres of GMO crops were planted worldwide. In 1999, that figure had increased to 87 million acres. So far, few negative consequences to biodiversity have occurred and despite the hype, few benefits have accrued. Yields (and profits) have increased modestly and herbicide use has decreased about one percent.
But risk should not be measured in hindsight.
Both mountaineers and scientists gauge future risk against conditions in the here and now. A climber observes peaks and weather, ponders "what if?" and makes decisions. Using this same approach, when biologists measure what is known about transgenic plants, three kinds of ecological "what ifs?" come into focus.
The first risk is that GMO plants will survive, reproduce and sustain themselves outside of cultivation. This could lead to herbicide – and insecticide – resistant superweeds that could become highly invasive. Experiments done to evaluate this risk suggest that it will happen occasionally. The consequences are unknown.
A second risk is that GMOs will eventually hybridize with close wild relatives. When hybrids survive and reproduce in the wild, the spread or introduction of transgenes into wild gene pools will occur, creating new invasive species. This risk is not farfetched. Seven of the world's 13 major crop plants, simply through traditional breeding practices, have mixed their genes with closely related wild species to form new weeds. This has eliminated the genetic uniqueness of some wild plants and contributed to extinctions. One thing is clear, the potential for genetic mischief increases with total area of cultivation.
Both self-sustaining GMO plants and transgenic hybrids could add to the worldwide list of biological invaders. After habitat degradation, most scientists consider invasive species to be the most dire threat to biodiversity. Over 50,000 plants are not native to North America. In my California county about one of every three plants in the wild is from someplace else. Exotics that out-compete native species cost $137 billion a year to control in the United States alone. GMOs will only add to this burden.
The third risk is the potential of transgenic plants to impact nontarget species and ecosystems. Say you plant a Roundup-tolerant GMO plant. With this wonder, you can spray your field and keep it clear of weeds while your transgenic crop thrives. But indirectly, there will be fewer seeds and insects for wild birds to eat. Multiply this by X millions of acres and watch what happens to food supplies for birds and small mammals. And nobody is watching. There are only a handful of experimental studies based on models and no long-term studies of any kind.
It is precisely because we are not running the world that the potential for a wide variety of negative, indirect ecological effects from GMO plants is great. You may have read recently about how monarch butterfly larvae were killed because the milkweed leaves they ingested were dusted with pollen from transgenic corn fitted out with the genes of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a natural insecticide. There is experimental evidence that GMO crops reduce soil decomposition rates and alter soil carbon and nitrogen levels. There is precious little data to evaluate the risks associated with these known ecosystem responses to transgenics. The same can be said of potential risks associated with virus-resistant GMO crops and forest supertrees.
Assessing the ecological risks of GMOs is, in the end, much more complex than the judgment calls that outdoors people make every day. If you fall off a rock face, that may be your final climb, but monarch butterflies will most likely survive. If a grizz mistakes me for a school of anchovies, I may not hike again, but soil microbes will continue to consume the dead and the down in the Cornbelt. The scale of risk associated with GMOs is not personal, but global. Transgenic risks are ecological and endlessly variable, not up close and personal like a boulder or a bear.
With GMOs, the chips are down. Even with more experiments, field trials and better data, we cannot measure every ecological variable in a field of cotton, let alone a forest. Genes exist in the world to flow, and we are helping them move around in unprecedented ways.
There is only one sensible path to follow. We must place an immediate moratorium on introducing GMOs and use this interlude to clearly measure the risks of transgenics against the status quo, chemical-intensive agribusiness as well as the sustainable future offered by organic farming. Maybe we can grow enough food more efficiently and at a reduced ecological cost by releasing lady beetles instead of planting Monsanto Bt corn. No one really knows because no careful comparisons have ever been attempted.
We are rearranging the world because there are profits to be made and because dominant values are skewed toward power and control. There are other values alive in the world. In conservation science, we study nature and marvel at elegance and surprise. Organic growers ask the land not "how much?" but "how well over time?" In Zen, the teachers say "minimize harm."
Clip into your climbing harness, fasten your toe clips, cinch up your pack's hip belt, and remember why you are here.

Video: Union members tear down AFP tent at right-to-work rally in Michigan
posted at 1:23 pm on December 11, 2012 by Allahpundit
Two clips via Lee Stranahan and Liberty News Network, respectively, of the union id unleashed after RTW passed the Michigan House this morning. One of the reliable perks when Republican legislatures try to rein in union power is watching the left's "civility" sanctimony instantly dissolve into more traditional forms of direct action practiced by labor. The "new tone" demagoguery of tea partiers after the Tucson shooting was fraudulent from the word go, but days like this remind you just how fraudulent it was. Case in point, some Democratic cretin went so far as to warn on the state House floor this morning that "There will be blood." Here's Steven Crowder live on the scene to prove him right, claiming he got a few fistfuls of "new tone" for his trouble:
AFP tent torn down with women and children in it. Was punched in the face four times. RT and await the video.
— Steven Crowder (@scrowder) December 11, 2012
One open question: Did they target AFP specifically, because it's Koch-affiliated and an ardent opponent of big labor, or did they target it just because it was there and not part of The Cause? Wouldn't be the first time that liberal heroes couldn't control themselves outside an AFP event.

Web Exclusive
The beauty of presence: my M.A.P. experience
By Jessie Bazan, communication junior
During spring break, 183 Marquette students traveled to 19 different sites around the United States as part of Campus Ministry's Marquette Action Program. Junior Jessie Bazan spent the week at the Father McKenna Center in Washington D.C., a daytime drop-in center serving some of the city's homeless men, with 10 fellow classmates. Bazan shares her M.A.P. experience with Marquette Magazine.
Last week, I met a man I'll call Mr. Q. He's a 62-year-old Washingtonian with a grandfatherly smile and a voice perfect for smooth jazz radio. He sleeps in a storage locker at night because wind and snow can't get to him there. Mr. Q is a published poet whose old soul pens profound works about things like love, manhood and angels. He drops by the Fr. McKenna Center so he doesn't start out his day hungry. On Friday, Mr. Q walked up to me and said: "Young lady, I know there's a God. Let me tell you why." Forty-five minutes later, I knew it, too.
I'll admit, I began this M.A.P. journey with many worries. Can I relate to the men? What will we talk about? Is our group even needed here?
I left Saturday morning with resolve. I could relate to the men because I have two arms, a mouth and a brain, just like they do. I have childhood memories, current frustrations and future goals, just like they do. We talked about faith, Big East basketball, Saturday Night Live and whatever else came to mind because we actually have quite a bit in common. We are actually not all that different.
Was our group needed? No. The Fr. McKenna Center has gotten by for 30 years without Marquette spring breakers. But we needed to be there. My 10 new friends and I needed to sleep on hard church pews and not shower daily and wonder how we ever got so lucky. We can't pretend to comprehend the lives of these men after one week. But, now, we can be more aware of their beauty. We can acknowledge their dignity. And we can more genuinely work to better the day-to-day realities of the poor. After all, we have beds to sleep on. Shouldn't everyone?
This M.A.P. trip was about being uncomfortable in order to get comfortable with reality. It was about sharing laughs and breaking biases and shedding invisibility. This week was most simply about being present with fellow human beings who might not look or live like me but are intrinsically the same. Homelessness is a state, not a defining characteristic. The men at the Fr. McKenna Center showed me there is more than one way to define "rich."
"Life-changing" is an overused cliché. But when it's true, it's true. This experience changed my life. For our M.A.P. journey, and for all the wonderful conversations, lessons and memories of this week, I am forever grateful.
Service is a way of life, something I tried teaching a Gonzaga high school senior today. To whom much has been given, much is expected in return. I proudly wore the t-shirt I bought 8 years ago with the same Father McKenna quote as the picture at the top of this article.

Testing the Waters of Deep Creek Lake
Haley Farm Bed & Breakfast • Oakland, MD
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Suite
- One Bottle of Red or White Wine with a Cheese Platter
The Destination
Set amid leaves that burst into kaleidoscopic colors in the fall, snow-capped mountains that beckon skiers in the winter, and miles of lakeshore for swimming in the spring and summer, Garrett County is a four-season destination that's a calming contrast from cities like Washington, DC, and Baltimore, both three hours away. As part of the county, Oakland, Maryland capitalizes on the area's charms starting with Deep Creek Lake—the site of skiing in the winter and boating in the summer. With a population of less than 2,000 residents and a historic main street of small shops and Victorian architecture, this is a destination where you're invited to take your time.
The Digs
Surrounded by 65 acres of farmland, where white-picket fences stretch on rolling green hills and horses and deer roam the property, Haley Farm Bed & Breakfast is a bucolic Western Maryland retreat. Watch the sun set over the hills from the wraparound porch with a glass of wine in hand, and then return to your traditionally appointed suite for a movie in bed. While some suites also feature oversize tubs and fireplaces, all are decorated with souvenirs from the owners' around-the-world travels. Guests frequently enjoy homemade treats like fresh-baked banana bread in the morning, and then take off to the various state parks in the local vicinity.
The Diversions
• See the forest on the back of a sled with Husky Power Dogsledding
• Try cross-country skiing with All Eco Adventure Tours
• Hike through Swallow Falls State Park to see the Muddy Creek Falls
• Join a guided kayaking tour with ASCI Adventures
• Order the chicken barbecue pizza at Brenda's Pizzeria
"The view of the lake is incredible. We go to Deep Creek Lake just to get away and relax and Haley Farm is the perfect place to do that. The breakfasts are unbelievable."-- TripAdvisor

For those of you who have made the jump to OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) on your Macs, you're going to want to check this one out. David Sparks and Brett Terpstra have just released a new book in the Macsparky Field Guide series titled 60 Mountain Lion Tips. What makes this new book stand out is how the information is presented — it was created using iBooks Author and has over 1.5 hours of embedded video tutorials (in addition to the well-written documentation). These screencasts are narrated by Sparks and Terpstra, and as the title states, they're all about showing you tips and tricks that can power-up your Mac user skills.
And these aren't tips and tricks that are easy to find, either. As Sparks states in the intro:
Half of the tips in this book were discovered by me and Brett holding down modifier keys and mashing down random keys on our Macs. I sometimes wonder if the only reason some of these features exist is because they scratch an itch for some software engineer deep inside Apple's Cupertino campus who decided the best way to assure the trick's continued existence is simply not to tell anyone about it.
After making my way through the book, I have to agree with the above statement — most of these are simple but effective timesavers that I've never seen documented in MacLife or MacWorld or any of the other Mac-focused websites I frequent. Continue Reading "60 Mountain Lion Tips for Mac Users" »

A true "comic's comic," Bobby Slayton, often referred to as "The Pitbull of Comedy," has been performing his own intense style of stand-up comedy for over 20 years, becoming one of the best known, respected, and energetic comics working today. He starred in his own one hour Showtime Special "Born To Be Bobby" which is out on DVD. Audiences will recognize Bobby from his scene-stealing roles in movies such as "Get Shorty," "Ed Wood," "Bandits" and "Dreamgirls." He's been seen on dozens of television shows including "The Tonight Show" and "Politically Incorrect." Bobby's many appearances on HBO have included "Comic Relief " and his own stand-up special. He was a series regular on the HBO series "Mind of a Married Man," and played 'Joey Bishop' opposite Ray Liotta and Joe Mantegna in the critically acclaimed film "The Rat Pack." Slayton's distinctive gravelly voice has often been heard on animated shows like "Dr. Katz'" and "Family Guy," as well as many popular radio shows across the country including Howard Stern, Kevin & Bean, and Tom Leykis. The NY Daily News called Slayton "Armed and Dangerous" and the Las Vegas Review Journal pointed out that "Slayton's refusal to comprise his art has always made him worth a special trip."

Hello fellow beekeeping enthusiasts (I presume),
I haven't been on this forum in a few months, but I thought I'd revisit to initiate a small dialogue on the current U.S. regulation of sugar prices and its subsequent affect on us who tend the honeybees. I've been a beekeeper for only two years or so, not very long, but I have noticed how important sugar can be to beekeepers, hobbyists and commercial beekeepers alike. Yes, there are a million theories out there, and some think sugar is not good to feed the bees; give them their honey. I'm not writing for that group of people.
If this topic has already been discussed, I would not be surprised, but I'd like to at least share my experience.
I'm a senior at the University of Louisville, Kentucky. I'm majoring in political science. In my class entitled US National Security, my professor (who grew up in Michigan) began talking about sugar beets (some of which are grown and processed in Michigan) and how big business relates to national security. My ears really perked up when he showed us the graph comparing US sugar prices compared to the world average. Apparently, the sugar industry in the US has artifically floated the price of sugar many times over the global price. I may be able to provide the chart later on.
My professor explained that the sugar companies have political security which keeps the prices so incredibly high. The theory goes, it is extremely difficult to get a 10 million people mobilized over a .25 cents per pound of sugar or what have you. But ten people will get mobilized over a million dollars. This is basically what the sugar company has done. They know people won't throw a fit over the price exaggeration, so they raise the price well beyond its actual value.
A dollar here or there doesn't matter much to the average US citizen. For a beekeeper however, who is buying sugar in bulk, the price can begin to really make a dent. The way to address the problem is to enact legislation that would bring the price of sugar back down to its actual value. Of course there enters semantics on what "value" means, but that's beside the point. I don't want to get into a battle with the sugar industry either, but I do think the sugar industry should at least give a break to beekeepers.
Do any of you have any thoughts regarding this matter?

Bicknell - batsmen will restore order
Middlesex 325 (Harris 4-86)
Notts 181 (Swann 53)
Middlesex 345-4 declared
Notts 128-1 (Bicknell 62, Gallian 56*)
Match drawn
Rain washed out all but eight overs on the final day to rescue the batting line-up after being bowled out for 181 in the first innings.
But Bicknell believes that performance was just a blip and has promised a big opening partnership from himself and fellow opener Jason Gallian.
He said: ?I think we got the worst of the conditions in our first innings and I?m sure we?ll get ourselves right against Warwickshire.
?Hopefully Jason and I will set our stall out as we did in the second innings of this match and prepare the team for a big total.
?We?ve all been batting well this season and although there have been a couple of low totals recently, the confidence in the dressing room is still very high.?
After bowling out the visitors for a par total of 325, we were undone by career-best swing bowling from Peter Trego on day two which put us on the back foot for the rest of the match.
As the pitch flattened batting became easier and Middlesex set a huge victory target of 530 for us to chase.
Bicknell and Gallian produced a 115-run partnership to ease any worries of defeat and rain guaranteed an extra four points to help us stay in the Championship race.

I had installed three packages on May 7 and UN-corked the queen three days later. I went in Saturday to see if I had a working queen, which I did. I had eggs and larvae. Nothing was capped which I believe would be mathematically impossible given the fact that I removed the cork only eight days prior. The funny part is that since then the bees have been much more active, noticeably so. They move about the entrance more deliberately going right in and out, no dilly dallying. The other thing is there are way less bees on the feeder which is on the inner cover inside an empty super. They just are not clustered there at all like before. Is this a coincidence or did we give them a boot in the butt?
After reading Michale Bush's I now understand why he recommends starting a package in a nuc box. I bet if you can confine the brood nest to a smaller area that they will have to concentrate in that area and not spread out over 10 frames building comb that can't be used for a while. I wish I had taken an hour or so and built a 4 or 5 frame box. it wouldn't take much effort at all and I bet the bees would develop much quicker. I have a lot to learn.
Just a couple of observations from a 60 year old newb. All in all a very exciting day seeing the queens were working. Gary
