Quotes of the day
posted at 10:41 pm on January 23, 2014 by Allahpundit
Texas Gov. Rick Perry signaled Thursday that he's for the decriminalization of marijuana use — not legalization, but the softening of punishment for pot users in the border state.
"As governor, I have begun to implement policies that start us toward a decriminalization" by introducing alternative "drug courts" that provide treatment and softer penalties for minor offenses, Perry said during an international panel on drug legalization at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland…
"Legalization is no penalty at all, where as decriminalization doesn't necessarily mean jail time (for minor possession offenses.) It means more of a fine or counseling or some sort of program where you don't end up in jail but in a rehabilitative program," said Lucy Nashed, a spokeswoman for Perry.
"The goal is to keep people out of jails and reduce recidivism, that kind of thing," she said, adding that decriminalization excludes violent offenders and dealers.
We tolerate drinking because most adults use alcohol responsibly, and by all means let's have a debate about cannabis given how much of the country has already legalized it under the false flag of "medical" marijuana. But an honest debate would not whitewash pot's risks.
A growing body of medical research shows that the psychoactive substance in marijuana may cause permanent cognitive damage when used by adolescents, such as impaired memory and learning. The drug can trigger psychotic episodes, especially among vulnerable late adolescents, and the price decreases and social normalization of recreational use will increase the number of underage potheads…
Very few people are incarcerated for simple possession, which makes up about 88% of arrests. There are currently about 40,000 state and federal prisoners serving time for marijuana-related convictions, and most have violent criminal histories. Most judges must be persuaded that someone is a true danger to society to sentence prison for mere drug use.
Mr. Obama is also kidding himself if he thinks drug legalization will be a boon to the poor. His own history of drug use is well known, but most users aren't the privileged students of the Punahou School. Like all human vices, the misery of addiction is always worse for those who lack the resources and family support of the affluent.
Former Rep. Patrick Kennedy says President Barack Obama is wrong about the dangers of marijuana, saying that the drug today is not like what the president smoked in his youth…
"I think the president needs to speak to his NIH director in charge of drug abuse," Kennedy said on MSNBC's "Hardball" on Monday night. "[She] would tell the president that, in fact, today's modern, genetically modified marijuana, so it's much higher THC levels, far surpass the marijuana that the president acknowledges smoking when he was a young person."…
"I mean, if the president feels alcohol is worse than tobacco, what's he prepared to do? And I'll tell you, the president won't be able to do a thing," Kennedy said. "Why? Because alcohol is too powerful an industry to change. And right now, we have a chance to stop another for-profit industry from targeting our public health."
"We will end the failed war on drugs," [Chris Christie] said, "that believes that incarceration is the cure of every ill caused by drug abuse. We will make drug treatment available to as many of our non-violent offenders as we can, and we will partner with our citizens to create a society that understands that every life has value and no life is disposable." That is revolutionary stuff — and will be no mean feat to accomplish…
Many on the right, not least of them the editors of this magazine, have been arguing for decades that the war on drugs is a failure — National Review's 1996 symposium on the issue was headlined "The War on Drugs Is Lost" — but despite the strength of the evidence and the moral weight of the argument, ending drug prohibition is a position that has for decades failed to gain much traction in the mainstream political debate. There has been some incremental liberalization when it comes to marijuana, but Christie's promise is considerably more broad. Those who labor in think-tank obscurity often despair of their ideas' ever entering general political circulation; Christie's promise is a reminder that, though it may take years or decades, ideas matter.
Drug addiction is an unalloyed evil, a destroyer of lives and families, an invitation to unemployment, poverty, disease, and in many cases an early death. But not every evil is a matter for the police and the prisons; in the matter of drug abuse and addiction, it has taken our nation a tragically, even catastrophically, long time to begin to figure that out. Many people will dabble in drugs without ever becoming addicts, and many of those who are arrested on drug charges suffer far more from their criminal histories than they ever do from the drugs. The war on drugs has filled our prisons and contributed to the scandalous conditions therein, which should be a source of deep and abiding shame for any decent and patriotic American. There are some horrible and evil people in our prisons, but no human being deserves the treatment — from casual brutality to constant rape — meted out there.
The very same year, for example, that Colorado legalized marijuana, the Colorado Senate passed (without a single Republican vote) a ban on trans fats in schools. Are we to believe eating a glazed donut is more harmful than smoking a joint? California has already banned trans fats in restaurants statewide, but now is on the brink of legalizing marijuana statewide come November. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg supported New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's effort to decriminalize marijuana in New York State, while at the same time supporting a ban on extra-large sodas. A 32-ounce Mountain Dew is bad for you, but pot isn't?
The logic is dumbfounding. For many years, health-conscious liberals have waged a deafening, public war against cigarettes. Smoking bans in public places like restaurants and bars have been enacted in states all over the country. Recently, New York City, New Jersey and several other cities and states have extended those bans to include the newest tobacco fad—e-cigarettes. Yet, when it comes to smoking marijuana? Crickets…
Unless you're smoking something, the logic here is pretty strong. So what explains why liberals target unhealthy foods, yet turn a blind eye to a far more harmful substance? The answer is not clear, and there may not be a good answer at all. Perhaps marijuana advocates will say that they're merely bowing to the reality that millions of Americans enjoy it despite its deleterious health effects. But the same could be said for trans fats. Rather than speculate, we should hold liberals accountable and demand that they answer publicly: If trans fats, GMOs and other dangerous substances deserve to be banned in the name of public health, then why not marijuana as well?
Now that the War on Drugs seems to be winding down — and it's about time — we're going to hear more about the benign effects of smoking pot when compared to the hazards of consuming alcohol. This is a longstanding talking point for legalization advocates — and for many people a handy justification to sign on to the cause. For others, it's a way to create an equivalence between one of man's greatest innovations and what amounts to a big waste of time…
Fortunately, we don't drink for our health, only to it – though there are a number of studies that allege moderate intake of alcohol can be beneficial (and I choose to believe every single one of them). The social value of alcohol is immeasurable, whereas the social value of pot is negligible. Alcohol, in its countless variations, flavors, and uses, has widespread prevalence in in our rituals and social lives for a good reason.
Marijuana might have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-psychotic properties, and it may provide a fulfilling personal experience, generating euphoria or heightened sensations (also anxiety and paranoia), and chances are high nothing averse will happen if you smoke up when you're young. But it's doubtful you'll ever be clinking bongs at a wedding or setting aside the Scotch to drown your sorrows with family members over a joint. That's not only because of the stigma. Alcohol, which can be consumed, unlike pot, for the taste alone, often makes life more accessible, you more likeable, and others more bearable.

We recently started producing a complete pollen supplement, but I have heard from more than one West coast commercial beekeeper that freight costs too much to make it feasible. Unfortunately, I agree, but there is no way around freight when shipping pollen supplement...
I would like to get your opinions, especially those that are mixing tons of supplement. I realize commercial beekeepers can buy a great deal of pollen supplement ingredients locally and skip most of the freight charge.
We currently offer a 5lb per ton vitamin and mineral supplement. This covers the major vitamins and minerals that beekeepers just can't get with standard ingredients. The 5lb per ton supplement is formulated to work with commonly used ingredients beekeepers can buy to make their own pollen supplement. However, with our complete pollen supplement we actually use a premix of vitamins and minerals that accounts for approximately 75-100lbs per ton of dry pollen supplement. By designing the formulation from scratch, we were able to balance all of the vitamins, minerals and nutrients more accurately.
My question is... Would a 75-100lb per ton premix be of interest to commercial beekeepers? I am tossing around the idea of providing the overall pollen supplement formula to go with the 75-100lb per ton premix. This way beekeepers could buy the bulk ingredients locally and then purchase the premix to go with the final supplement formula.
Thanks for your time and input!

International Marketing
The Blue Diamond plant in 1914.
In 1910, almonds were a minor crop, a specialty crop, even a novelty in California. But growers saw possibilities. They had dreams and they pursued success through their cooperative, the California Almond Grower's Exchange, now Blue Diamond Growers.
T. C. Tucker, manager of Blue Diamond, paid regular visits to East Coast markets to drum up sales of California almonds. He struggled against low-priced imported almonds from Spain, Italy, and Greece, but steadily gained ground. Interruptions in imports during World Wars I and II helped California growers become established in U.S. markets but a flood of cheap imports following each war undercut their market. Blue Diamond continued to work with the U.S. government to obtain protective tariffs to level the playing field. Success was slow in coming.
Meanwhile, as California growers developed their orchards and supplies grew, Blue Diamond looked to foreign markets as potential customers for California's sweeter, higher quality product. Tucker began scouting European markets in 1916, but World War I put his plans on hold.
A decade later, Tucker's international efforts paid off. His representative completed a tour of the Mediterranean region creating contacts that provided supply intelligence and potential sales outlets.
T.C. Tucker with Harry S. Maddox, California State Director of Markets. July 1922.
The stock market crash in 1929 hit Germany, one of the European almond industry's most important markets, particularly hard. Italian shippers, who depended heavily on the German market, diverted their large crop of shelled almonds to Spain and the United States, severely weakening those markets. Blue Diamond's sketchy data on European production and sales led to the co-op pricing its shelled almonds too high and the market slid out from under it. This incident convinced Blue Diamond leaders that closer monitoring of Europe with an eye to future markets there had to be part of their long-term strategy.
In 1936, D.R. Bailey was named manager of Blue Diamond. He faced difficult times. The world economy remained mired in depression. Foreign nuts, produced by poorly paid peasants, flooded the U.S. market at bargain prices, knocking the floor out from under the co-op's best pricing efforts. And the Roosevelt administration would not consider a tariff.
Bailey saw exports as a potential safety valve to keep domestic markets free from unmanageable surpluses. The good reception received by a small amount of California almonds sold abroad in 1938 encouraged him. The trade reported that the buyers of those shipments preferred the California nuts because of the soft shell and high quality.
A large crop in 1939 supported international marketing efforts. Prices, the lowest since 1934, along with a declaration of war in Europe, stimulated buying. The outbreak of hostilities abroad caused the Canadian market to look to California for its needs, which resulted in the largest-ever volume of orders from Canadian buyers.
The Exchange developed a close working relationship with government officials early on and has maintained that critical link through the years. D. R. Bailey, manager of the Exchange, is shown welcoming California Governor Earl Warren to the association's 35th annual meeting in November 1945.
As Blue Diamond entered another uncertain post-war economy, it led the fight to take the California almond industry from a small specialty crop and minor factor in the world nut trade to a new status as a high-profile player in Washington, D.C. and leader of the international almond market. In time, California almonds would replace foreign almonds as the primary source for U.S. buyers. And California almonds would turn the tables on foreign producers by becoming the almonds of choice in foreign markets.
But Blue Diamond had to fight for every inch of ground. While Blue Diamond and others pressured the U.S.D.A., Congress, and President Truman for protection and fair play, 13 million pounds of foreign almonds flooded the U.S. market. Bailey and Jack Axer, export manager, traveled to Italy and Sicily to determine if the Italians had dumped almonds on the U.S. market.
Finding that Italian growers had been paid more per pound for their almonds than those almonds had been sold for to U.S. buyers, Bailey appealed to the U.S. Customs Service for countervailing duties. His request went nowhere. Finally, in December 1951, President Truman accepted the Tariff Commission's recommendation that an import quota be established for almonds. Blue Diamond had led the fight and won relief for all California almond producers.
With an eye to learning more about foreign production and marketing - and future sales opportunities - Bailey invited leading Spanish almond exporters to Barcelona, Spain in April 1955, and Italian exporters to Bari, Italy the following month. He proposed to talk about world almond marketing conditions and develop a basis for better understanding and cooperation between the world's three leading almond producing regions. He hoped to encourage an exchange of production and marketing information, and to create a better understanding of the California industry's role in the domestic and world markets. He also hoped to collect data to support the need for U.S. import quotas.
The sessions were successful, and Bailey and Axer repeated the sessions annually through 1956. They extended their survey to India, Iran and Turkey, which produced a variety of nuts, including almonds. Soon, Blue Diamond was shipping California almonds to European and Middle Eastern markets.
A sales representative was appointed in Asia, where Bailey believed "an excellent potential for California almonds now exists and can be expanded in that part of the world." The scope of Blue Diamond's activities was becoming global, in keeping with California's ability to produce an exportable surplus of high quality almonds.
Axer set out to expand sales worldwide. Realizing that to do so would require years of preparation and relationship building, he started with Canada, then Mexico, the United Kingdom and Germany. He recalled, "In Europe, our work was cut out for us. Italian, Spanish and Portuguese almonds had been the only almonds Europeans knew. West Germany was the number one per capita consumer of almonds and Hamburg, Germany, was the center of the almond trade in Europe."
Axer asked European manufacturers to use Blue Diamond almonds in samples and asked Europeans to taste the product. When California almonds were compared to Mediterranean almonds, European buyers were increasingly choosing California nuts. Axer extended his sales efforts to the Middle East and Africa. He made his first trip to Japan in 1959 where, 20 years later, more than 30 million pounds would be bought annually.
The Exchange's globetrotting sales efforts attracted the attention of the federal government and earned a prestigious recognition from the highest level of the Johnson Administration. At the 56th Annual Meeting, Jack Axer accepted on behalf of the Exchange the President's "E" Award for exports.
Axer predicted that foreign sales would become even more important with anticipated large increases in almond production. In markets where almonds were already known, the emphasis was on new uses and building additional sales, rather than simply replacing Mediterranean almonds. Swedish buyers, for example, were interested in manufactured items, such as blanched, split and other cut almonds. Australian customers were placing repeat orders for the famous Smokehouse and Onion-Garlic flavored almonds, and a firm in Poland was buying Smokehouse as well.
In 1966, California handlers sold some 30 percent of the crop to foreign customers. Exports had become a major part of the industry's business. In the spring of 1968, Blue Diamond sold the first California almonds, 600 cases of Barbeque flavor snack almonds, to Russia. The Soviets quickly reordered a larger quantity, launching what grew into a substantial repeat business.
In an effort to keep export growth on the fast track, Blue Diamond opened a market development office in Tokyo. "Japan, already one of our biggest export customers, continues to offer the greatest growth potential," commented Axer.
During the energy crisis in 1973, rapidly increasing fuel prices drove up manufacturing and distribution costs, creating shortages of critical materials. Soaring prices of cocoa, sugar and milk caused chocolate manufacturers in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan to curtail chocolate bar production and, as a result, their purchases of almonds. The chocolate industry had long been the industry's largest user of almonds. The following crop brought in 60 percent more nuts in handlers' warehouses than the previous year. Blue Diamond reduced prices to stimulate consumption. Buyers in Europe and Japan immediately responded, buying carloads of Blue Diamond almonds.
The big crop that everyone had been expecting arrived in 1974. This is the Salida plant facility
Good news arrived in 1977. In April, U.S. government officials, at Blue Diamonds' request, obtained lower import tariffs on California almonds shipped to India, making California almonds competitive in the second most populous country in the world. Shipments to that country shot up to a million pounds. Steve Easter, Blue Diamond's government affairs representative, who had worked long and hard to makes his case for lower tariffs, had finally won.
In 1979, at 376 million pounds, California's crop became the largest in history and almonds the state's leading food export. With crops increasing in size and world demand growing, Blue Diamond representatives expanded their efforts to establish new sales outlets worldwide. Vice president of exports Walter Payne established a strong relationship with China. The Chinese government placed orders with the Exchange totaling some 30 tons of almonds, the first of many to come.
Blue Diamond continued to keep the interest of the California almond industry in front of U.S. trade negotiators and legislators. The cooperative helped maintain current U.S. tariffs on almond imports, and was instrumental in obtaining government matching funds for promoting California almonds in foreign markets.
In the early to mid 1980s, foreign currencies dropped lower in value compared to the U.S. dollar causing decreased demand for California almonds in export markets while crops continued to swell. Blue Diamond turned its attention to the domestic market while it waited for the dollar to weaken abroad. Blue Diamond snack almonds were introduced in Western Europe early in the 1980s.
India began to emerge as an important new market for California Almonds in the 1980s.
After years of educating lawmakers and trade negotiators about the value of increased almond exports to the U.S. economy, Steve Easter was able to report in 1986 that the European Economic Community had agreed to reduce the almond duty from 7 percent to 2 percent on the first 99 million pounds entering the EEC each year. Blue Diamond opportunities in Europe suddenly grew larger.
Export sales got another boost in 1986 from two new funding sources for promotion of agricultural products in overseas markets. Matching funds were provided by the California Department of Food and Agriculture under a new California Export Incentive program and by the Foreign Agricultural Service's Targeted Export Incentive Program. Blue Diamond applied for and received matching funds for promotional work in Canada, Japan, Korea, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Scandinavia.
As innovation and expert technical assistance strengthened in the 1990's, Blue Diamond emphasized new, high-value almond products that expanded worldwide consumption. Dozens of new snack items tempted Japanese customers - crackers, cookies, truffles, snack "sticks" and chocolate bars proliferated, some of which were developed and sold by Blue Diamond in Japan. Korean consumers enjoyed almond biscuits, cookies, candy bars and cereals.
In Europe, manufacturers turned out dozens of variations of almond marzipan bars, cereals, fruitcakes, candy coated almonds, spread and other confections. In the United States, as well as abroad, major food manufacturers jumped on the almond bandwagon as good news about the nutritional value and health enhancing properties of almonds spilled out of research laboratories around the world. Demand for California almonds soared, climbing at more than 9 percent annually.
In 2001, under new leadership and a strong focus on strategic planning by the board of directors and management, Blue Diamond began leveraging the power of the brand to expand sales worldwide. The cooperative saw growth opportunities in the rapidly expanding middle class populations in developing countries such as Russia, China, India, Brazil and in Southeast Asia. With Blue Diamond representatives knocking on doors in all those places and more, exports grew rapidly, absorbing new tonnage from record-size crops in California.
To keep California almonds flowing into eager markets around the world, Blue Diamond representatives continued to lead on trade issues, working closely with the U.S. Trade Representative, Congress and other government officials to lower tariffs and keep them low, and remove trade barriers in markets such as India and China.
By 2004, despite back-to-back record crops over one billion pounds, rising global demand exceeded supply, driving grower prices to new highs and bringing welcome prosperity to an industry that had suffered from falling prices in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Blue Diamond almonds being delivered in Old Delhi, India.
As the decade drew to a close, export sales helped set new shipment records for the industry as growers delivered consecutive billion-pound crops. In 2008, industry sales to China shot up 115 percent, Middle East sales jumped 51 percent, Eastern Europe rose 32 percent, Western Europe was up 24 percent and India increased by 19 percent. The industry had never seen better times. But the euphoria ended abruptly with the financial crisis of 2008-2009. Buyers suddenly pulled back, demand slumped while at the same time the largest crop on record filled warehouses. Prices dropped. Long faces turned cheery by season's end, however, as international demand regained its vigor, sending the market on a buying spree that set a new shipment record of 1.39 billion pounds and a grower return among the top five in history.
Blue Diamond brand products joined the highly successful ingredient business in global markets in 2008. Long recognized for their excellence and preferred by bakers, candy makers and other food manufacturers, Blue Diamond's wide range of processed ingredients had been leaders in Europe, Asia and elsewhere for decades. Now branded products, such as Roasted Salted, Wasabi & Soy Sauce and Jalapeno Smokehouse snack nuts, are appearing on retail shelves in Europe, another example of Blue Diamond leveraging the power of its world famous brand for incremental sales and margins for growers. Meanwhile, Blue Diamond introduced four new flavors of oil-roasted almonds for use as ingredients in snacks and trail mixes.
By the end of the decade, Blue Diamond's multi-pronged product development, brand leveraging, market-segmenting strategy was paying off in rapid growth in sales volume and higher returns to growers. Product innovation, skillful marketing and compelling product promotion worldwide, in both ingredient and retail sales, continue to drive Blue Diamond to new heights as the best marketing alternative for California almond growers.

Scholarships and AwardsEach year the College awards a number of merit-based academic scholarships to incoming freshmen and, in certain cases, to students already enrolled in General Education Honors. Most of those scholarships are renewable for a maximum of eight semesters, from the date of a student's enrollment at the College, provided the student maintains a 3.0 grade point average, remains a full-time student, and makes satisfactory progress toward fulfilling General Education Honors.
In addition, the John Nazarian Honors Scholarship is awarded to an outstanding incoming freshman and Eleanor M. McMahon Honors Scholarships are given to an outstanding rising junior and an outstanding graduating senior, respectively.
Matriculated students in the General Education Honors Program who did not receive honors scholarships as incoming freshmen may apply to the Director of Honors in April for scholarships for the following academic year. Such scholarships will be awarded, if monies are available, on the basis of overall grade point average; progress toward completion of the honors program; and length of matriculation at the college. The minimal requirement for application is a 3.25 cumulative GPA. The Director will send out a call for applications in April.Click here to learn more about the Anne & Bob De Stefano Undergraduate Research Program.

Discussion in 'Chevy C/K Truck Forum' started by Pyro81, Apr 29, 2007.
Okay, stupid question time, but what exactly is a C/K?
Hey Pyro whats up!
The C/K was the name for Chevrolet's full-size pickup truck line from 1962 until 1998 and GMC's full-size pickup line from 1962-1988. C/K trucks were available in smooth "Fleetside" or fendered "Stepside" versions. GMC called these "Wideside" and "Fenderside." Half-ton models were the C10 and K10 short-bed trucks, and C15 and K15 long-bed trucks.
I wondered mostly because when i was searching for a part one website didn't have a listing for silverado's but it did have listings for C/K 1500, C/K 2500, etc. I almost wanted to assume that C/K 1500 would be the same thing as a silverado but since i wasn't sure i didn't bother.
What are you driving?
C is 2wd and K is 4wd.
I knew I was forgetting something, thanks Shawn...Wecome aboard too.
BTW you a wrestling fan from the 80's...I used to like Big John Stud
I got a 2004 Silverado.
He's been a member longer than you....lol:lol:
Your right too. He's just been MIA. Well his back to light a fire...(pyro)

News: Tagged as FF DIN Condensed Italic
New release: FF50
BERLIN, GERMANY, November 2009 – FSI FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
The new FontFonts
FF Mach™ The very first sketches of FF Mach were drawn in 2004 when a colleague who planned a new Polish magazine about culture and arts asked Łukasz Dziedzic for a logo – there was neither time nor money, so he did it quickly and for free. The logo was met with approval and Łukasz was asked for some sample covers and a few days later for the whole layout – again immediately and free of charge. Łukasz agreed with mixed feelings, thinking this might be a chance to use some of his fonts and even make a new one based on the logo and title graphics. The new font worked well but unfortunately, after the magazine failed three months later, it was never used again until Łukasz decided in 2008 to redraw all the glyphs in order to remove the traces of that speedy work, and in the end he designed a complete new type family with six weights and three widths.
FF Masala™ is as unctuous as a curry sauce with a hint of chili to add zest. Xavier Dupré's initial idea for FF Masala was to offer a casual Sans matching FF Tartine Script. After rethinking and refining, FF Masala became a truly casual type system with three Sans weights and their Italics plus three powerful Script versions with swashes, right for logos and packaging as well as comics or children's book covers.
FF DIN® Condensed Italic™ — The FF DIN family has been completed by FF DIN Condensed Italic including Latin Extended and Cyrillic Extended characters.read more

Friends often ask my daughter to talk me into making some of this fudge - everyone really enjoys it. The butterscotch flavor is rich and different.
Recommended: 30 Desserts Ready in 30 Minutes
- 1 teaspoon plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 package (10 to 11 ounces) butterscotch chips
- 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- Line an 8-in. square pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside. In a small heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, milk and remaining butter. Bring to a boil; cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add butterscotch chips and graham cracker crumbs; stir until chips are melted.
- Pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate until firm. Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Discard foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 2-1/2 pounds.

"Imade this last night and while it was simple to make, it is a little disappointing, because it is just what you expect it to be-just butterscotch...no...WOW to it, if you know what I mean. It doesnt have a punch to make it a stand out. It is okay, but I wont make it again because it is just average."

I have seen on several occassion a wierd looking pollenator on my plants in my beeyard. It has a similar color pattern to the honeybee on its abdomen and thorax. But on its head it carries two greenish eyes. They seem to bee more shaped like a capsule than anythign else. And it also has two feathery looking front legs. I'm assuming that it uses them for pollen collection. I've observed it brushing them over the flowers of several plants.
Is there a website that has good pictures of native pollenators?

This roundup summarizes some notable recent items about scientific research, selected from news reports compiled in Sigma Xi's free electronic newsletters Science in the News Daily and Science in the News Weekly. Online: http://sitn.sigmaxi.org and http://www.americanscientist.org/sitnweekly
Cave Bears and Art
France's Grotte Chauvet houses what may be the world's oldest cave paintings. Radiocarbon analyses date the pigments and nearby charcoal to more than 30,000 years ago. But artistically, the drawings look half that old. The debate about their age continues, but new evidence from bones of now-extinct cave bears (Ursus spelaeus) corroborates the paintings' antiquity. In Chauvet and a nearby cave, mitochondrial DNA and radiocarbon analyses suggest the bears had low genetic diversity and disappeared from the region 28,000 years ago. Chauvet's artists depicted cave bears, and they must have done so before the animals went locally extinct.
Bon, C., et al. Low regional diversity of late cave bears mitochondrial DNA at the time of Chauvet Aurignacian paintings. Journal of Archaeological Science (published online April 2)
A Greener Green
Green-colored pyrotechnics are a problem. They're used in fireworks and hand-held military signal flares, but they emit toxic barium compounds and persistent organic pollutants. Until now, safer alternatives to barium have been too expensive or too fast-burning. Chemists may have found a solution: boron carbide (B4C), a cheap and common abrasive never before used in pyrotechnics. At high temperatures, it reacts to form the green-emitting boron oxide (BO2)—without the toxic pollutants. The new flares also burn brighter and 1.5 seconds longer than the military standard.
Sabatini, J. J., et al. Boron carbide as a barium-free green light emitter and burn-rate modifier in pyrotechnics. Angewandte Chemie International Edition 50:4624–4626 (May 9)
Six-Winged Insects
Treehoppers (Membracidae) are famous for their elaborate helmets, which can resemble seeds, thorns, feces or even ants. Entomologists long assumed that these structures, like beetles' horns, were outgrowths of cuticle. But on closer inspection, researchers report that the insects' helmets are actually homologous to wings. Both structures attach to the body with joints and express the same genes during development. Like a pair of wings, a helmet forms from two pads of embryonic tissue. No other insect lineage has sported a third set of wing-like appendages over the past 250 million years. It seems that membracids have revived a long-silenced ancestral trait and put it to spectacular use.
Prud'homme, B., et al. Body plan innovation in treehoppers through the evolution of an extra wing-like appendage. Nature 473:83–86 (May 5)
Linguistic Eve
Languages evolve so quickly that it's hard to trace their ancestry more than about 6,000 years back. But a new study did so by stripping 504 modern languages down to their phonemes, the simplest sounds that convey meaning. (Miss and this differ by one phoneme.) The author found that African tongues had the most phonemes, whereas languages in South America and Oceania had the fewest. Thus, phonemic diversity, like genetic diversity, diminished along the path of prehistoric human migration away from Africa. This pattern suggests that a single mother tongue—spoken by the humans who left Africa more than 50,000 years ago—is the common ancestor of all languages spoken today.
Atkinson, Q. Phonemic diversity supports a serial founder effect model of language expansion from Africa. Science 332:346–349 (April 15)
Peacock Mystique
If peahens (Pavo cristatus) tally eyespots on their suitors' tail feathers, they do a sloppy job. As long as a male displays about 140 spots in his gaudy train, extras do not improve his chance of mating. Previous experiments reached conflicting conclusions about peahens' preference for eyespots, and a new study revisited this classic case of sexual selection. Researchers confirmed that, among feral peafowl in North America, snipping out 20 spots wrecked males' prospects for mating. But few peacocks were naturally so plain. Most displayed 144 to 169 eyespots—and within that acceptable range, hens relied on some other cue (still unknown to science) to rank their suitors.
Dakin, R., and R. Montgomerie. Peahens prefer peacocks displaying more eyespots, but rarely. Animal Behaviour (published online April 12)
Ash Under Scrutiny
Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano disrupted European travel last April, when airlines shut down for a week to avoid the ash plume. Now a battery of chemical and physical tests backs up that decision. Earth scientists conclude that the ash particles were unusually sharp, and hard enough to sandblast and obscure cockpit windows. Their glassy composition and powdery texture would have also damaged planes by melting in the interiors of jet engines. Had the ash fallen out in high concentration, its chemical coating would have threatened drinking water and its small size would have posed a breathing hazard. The authors suggest that their straightforward procedures could be used to quickly assess the health and mechanical risks of future eruptions.
Gislason, S. R., et al. Characterization of Eyjafjallajökull volcanic ash particles and a protocol for rapid risk assessment. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 108:7307–7312 (May 3)
Risky Meat?
Nearly half of meat in U.S. supermarkets is contaminated with the infectious bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, a recent study reports. Ninety-six percent of those bacteria are antibiotic-resistant and more than half can withstand at least three different drugs. Each kind of meat has its own signature S. aureus genotypes, suggesting that the bacteria originated with the animals themselves rather than with human handlers. Researchers drew these conclusions from 136 samples of meat and poultry—including five species and 80 brands—purchased from grocery stores in five cities. Although cooking kills even superbugs, their prevalence in food suggests that the public-health implications may warrant further study.
Waters, A. E., et al. Multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in US meat and poultry. Clinical Infectious Diseases 52:1227–1230 (May 15)
