What's next for Warren's Chace Farm?
In the spring, the Chace farm on Birchswamp Road comes alive with peepers so deafening that some nights you can scarcely hear anything else. Days grow longer and summer brings hay, fireflies and corn. Autumn is marked with family hayrides and bonfires. And during this winter season that two weeks ago saw the close of Bob "Buster" Chace's life, the land is stark, white and cold — but still beautiful.
"You come here, and instantly your problems go away," Bob's son Matt said. "Even feeling the breeze is enough. I want my kid's kids to see this place, how special it is. We're going to try."
Mr. Chace, 68, died in early January after a short fight with liver cancer, though he'd had health problems for some time. A lifelong farmer who grew up on the family farm, the land was etched into every part of him. It showed in his mannerisms and habits and clothes, and sometimes he said the deep wrinkles in his face came from squinting against the glare coming off his old white tractor.
Along with family and friends, the farm's 130 acres were everything to Mr. Chace and he never stopped working them, even after he sold off his dairy herd in the 1990s and concentrated on haying and other income generators. But his longtime partner, Joetta Kirk, said he always worried that the third generation of Chaces would be the one to lose it.
Now, Joetta and his children Matt, Bob, Thomas and Jessica, are trying to prevent that from happening. They're brainstorming new ways to bring income into the farm, and have established a fund-raising page for the restoration of the property's old, yet vital buildings.
Big place
The farm is enormous, one of the largest tracts of privately-owned farmland left in the East Bay. It's been in the Chace family since 1946, and they are only the second to run it — the original family, the Masons, laid out the farm after getting a charter from the King of England in the late 1600s.
Not much has changed since then. There are woods, ponds, trails and plenty of history — somewhere in the woods there's an old plaque on the spot where Roger Williams once camped.
Still, it hasn't been fully functional for some time. Though the family leases out space on the property to Windswept Farm, an equestrian center, rents several fields for vegetable farmers and sells hay, they need more to sustain the place into the future. Several of the property's key buildings are in need of repair, and the work won't be cheap.
The main issues are taxes and deed restrictions. Though the land is farmed, Warren is not a part of the state program that provides tax breaks for farmers who work their land; because of that, the farm pays about $200 per week just in taxes, Joetta said. There are also restrictions on what the land can and can't be used for, as the state purchased development rights to the property back in 1985.
Making enough to keep the property in the black, while respecting Mr. Chace's life and the farm's unique nature, is the aim.
They are not yet at the point where they're ready to make concrete plans, but Joetta and the children decided soon after Mr. Chace's death that they would do what they can to save the place while opening it up to people who have never known what it's like to spend the days roaming the fields. It's magic, they say.
Though they'll continue to lease space to Windswept farm and its owner, their long-time friend Michaela Scanlon, Ms. Kirk said the idea is also to try to use other parts of the property for other activities — like weddings, memorial services, private functions, retreats, gatherings and hiking.
"If we want to keep the farm in the Chace family, we have to have a new direction," Joetta said.
"Making lots of money is not our goal. None of us are farmers; I am, but I am beyond the point where I want to be out on the tractor 12 hours a day. Sure, I'd love to be involved in the haying; that's freedom personified. But I can't, so what I want to do with our brains and our brawn is make the farm into a place where people are welcome."
Key to that is rehabbing the buildings, most crucially the hay barn, to protect the farm's income and also provide a place for functions, gatherings and other outside activities.
Though Mr. Chace was an expert at patching the old barn here and propping there, it's time for an overhaul. Its roof is failing and needs to be replaced, and the sides need shingling and structural work. Getting that building shored up as soon as possible is crucial, Matt said, because without it the farm's hay is worthless.
Looking ahead
Matt lives in Brooklyn, Conn., where he moved years ago with his wife, and commutes to his Harley Davidson motorcycle shop in Auburn, Mass. daily. But he comes to the farm as often as possible and sees that increasing.
"You pull into the drive and suddenly you're at ease."
He's not ready to leave Brooklyn yet, but hopes to start helping out around the farm part time come spring and summer. If haying is going to continue he's going to need to be there, he said.
Finding help won't be a problem. Growing up a Chace meant that people were always around:
Area farmers were invited for coffee every day at 3:30 p.m. An entire family from down the street moved in for a few months after their home burned down. And a Northern Ireland girl, a total stranger to the family, ended up there for a summer in the 1980s after Mr. Chace heard about the troubles there and decided to do something.
The family's openness has stayed with all of them, even through Mr. Chace's sickness and passing. As word spread of his death earlier this month, a steady stream of friends, whom Matt calls "surrogate" family members, filled the house for days, laughing and crying, telling stories and remembering a man with a sharp but kind wit who loved animals and made friends easily.
Though it has been tough, the family is now trying to put itself in position to honor both the farm and Mr. Chace's memory, Joetta said.
"When I think about it the future is very scary, but we're not … none of us thinks in terms of money. It isn't our first purpose in life. What I'm hoping for is that this farm can sustain itself. People who come here are blown away by the serenity and the peace and the love here. I just want to share that. It's hard for people in today's life to feel anything but pressure, but when you step foot on this farm, it's gone."
Bob Chace's family plans to hold a celebration of his life some time during the summer, when the hay will be high.
My sincere thanks to Ted Hayes for capturing the essence of Chace Farm and my unique and wonderful life partner, Robert L Chace, Jr. When I met Bob in 1994 I knew I finally met my partner for life, and in 2001, after the death of Doris Chace, Bob's mother, we decided to move back to the farm. I soon felt like I had "come home". I truly have been blessed by these past 20 years by knowing Bob, the love of this special family, and my life at Chace Farm. With the help and support of family and friends, I hope that this farm will remain Chace Farm Forever.
My best to all who care so much.

Wedding Wednesday: Hair Styling
If I've grasped anything from Pinterest lately, it's that how a bride wears her hair on her wedding day is a very important decision in the planning process. Girls pin excessively, searching for the perfect look, and then grow their hair or do extensive hair trialing to get it just right. I lack creativity when it comes to everyday hair, opting for a simple twist away from my face or a tousled bun, pulling it back in a ponytail when I'm totally uninspired or on the go. When I thought about how wanted to look on my wedding day, I realized that it was important to resemble my normal self. This is the same reason I don't plan to wear super high heels - I'm most often 5'4" to Jeff's 6'1" and it just works, we fit together when we hug, dance, or kiss. I feel most comfortable and beautiful with my hair down and that seems like the perfect reason to wear it a certain way. I'm excited to sit down with my hairdresser in the next few months to plan our approach, and these are a few styles that I'm liking now:

Anyone who operates a Infiniti knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the absolute best replacement parts will do. Your Infiniti dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted replacement parts for your Q45. When your Infiniti Q45 was born, it was destined for a driver who prioritizes unique styling in their automobile. It's not every day that you realize that you have to buy a replacement Thermostats to repair your car or truck.
Your car or truck has a water-cooled motor, and its thermostat keeps the coolant flowing in the right direction so that your engine can maintain a constant and ideal operating temperature. On start-up, the thermostat remains closed; shutting off access to the radiator. This gets the coolant hot so that the engine warms up. Once it reaches an optimal operating temperature, your Infiniti Q45 thermostat then opens up and allows the coolant into the radiator. Now your coolant gets cooled as it recirculates through your Infiniti Q45 engine; keeping it within a specific range of temperatures that are determined for the engine to achieve the best balance between power, fuel efficiency, and emissions... all thanks to the thermostat.
Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. Don't let a broken Thermostats spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the best repair parts. Ordering new Infiniti parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Q45 parts on the internet. Need 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990 Infiniti Q45 Thermostats parts? We've got them right here.

Samples of Trechisibus antarcticus (Coleoptera, Carabidae), collected on South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, were analysed at 8 polymorphic allozyme loci, related to the supposition of a recent arrival of this species on South Georgia. The data showed absence of rare alleles in the South Georgia sample, but otherwise a high similarity between the two populations.

Bloody Kate - Part 1 (Part 2)Mature
Sensing that their time conversing was over – as well as having to nearly jump back to avoid another slice – Griever grew serious. Rave was using a knife, not a sword, making Griever's own knife actually useful. But, like all experts, Rave wielded his blade with a dexterous proficiency unseen on the battlefield. Compared to him, Griever was a neophyte with a knife.
But he did have one advantage: Instincts.
Griever ducked under the Wolf's blade without thinking, and made a slice of his own towards the man's abdomen. Of course, Rave moved out of the way with the swiftness and elegance of a cat, making it almost seem like the man was playing with Griever. Well, he had the wrong opponent to play with. Griever didn't fight fair. He never had believed in 'fairness.' It was a coward's way of imposing his own weakness on his opponent.
Rave grunted as Griever's foot was planted in the man's abdomen, sending him sprawling.
"Over already?" Griever asked the man, who had rolled to his feet and made sure to keep his distance. For some reason the Wolf was breathing heavily. "That was boring. And here I pegged you for a hotshot assassin or something. Guess I was wrong."
'He is wounded.'
"What do you mean?" Griever asked the gear under his breath. He didn't dare let Rave know he was talking to himself. For one, it was embarrassing to be seen talking to no one like a madman, and for two, the Black Wolves might know about the Gears. It was a slim possibility, but one that would make his enemy wary and reluctant to take chances. And seeing how he had yet to call in his hidden cavalry, he was just thinking Griever got in a lucky shot.
'Not only is he bruised in several places,' Bash explained, sounding more interested than anything else, 'but he has a gut wound from what looks like an arrow and several cuts that haven't even begun to heal yet.'
Rave had managed to catch his breath and now readied his stance once more. The man looked less menacing with the new information for some reason, like figuring out the night guard had left the back gate of a fortress you were supposed to capture unlocked. It was sort of disappointing, but reassuring as well. Griever was in less danger, but lost his challenge. A challenge he very much wanted as of late. Stress was starting to build up.
"Why do you think he fights alone?" Griever asked the Gear, honestly unsure of what to make of the situation.
'Well,' Bash replied, 'I scanned your subconscious as soon as you identified them as the Black Wolves and started compiling data. From what I have gathered from the talks you heard but did not register and the hints from the one Black Wolf – a man named Sever Dayne – you met, this is a neophyte.'
Griever stepped to the side as Rave attacked, now looking sloppy since Griever knew where to focus, and tripped the man – no, the boy. His voice may have been deep, but his face was too clean shaven for him to be past his second decade.
"So, you're saying this boy is a trainee? Why is he facing me alone?"
'Essentially, the Black Wolves make their new recruits track down a total of thirty thousand marks worth of bounties before becoming a full member. They would shadow him and make sure he succeeds. If he fails, they take care of the job and take the cloak from his corpse.' Bash sighed in what seemed to be disappointment. 'Usually, they kill the trainee if they still live, too. Such a waste of life, to be perfectly honest.'
Griever grunted in agreement and kicked the boy in his side, sending him a few feet away. "So long as he lives, then, they won't attack?"
'I believe so, though this is all conjectured based on the information I've gathered.'
A smile split Griever's mouth. "Good enough for me."

Below you'll find answers to the questions that we're asked most often. Do you have a question that is not included in this list? Don't be a stranger; e-mail us at email@example.com.
ACC&D is an animal welfare organization and catalyst for collaboration to advance non-surgical contraceptive options for cats and dogs. While we steadfastly support traditional spaying and neutering for reproductive control and certain health and behavioral factors, we also recognize that traditional surgery does not have the capacity to reach all animals. Expanding options for fertility control will have a significant impact on reducing the millions of homeless cats and dogs destroyed in shelters each year; humanely controlling populations of feral cat and dog populations living without human care; and reaching pet dogs and cats who, for various reasons, are not candidates for surgical sterilization. In addition, it will provide options to pet owners to make the right choice for their pet. We work to expedite the successful introduction of methods to non-surgically sterilize dogs and cats through facilitating research; providing scientifically sound and animal welfare-oriented resources to stakeholders in animal welfare, animal health, and public health; and supporting the appropriate distribution and promotion of products suitable for the humane control of cat and dog populations.
Surgical spaying and neutering require technical expertise, equipment, time, recovery space, and significant financial investment on the part of either pet owners or government/non-profit organizations that may subsidize the procedures. In many parts of the world, including parts of the U.S., veterinarians are not available in adequate numbers and/or trained to surgically sterilize all animals in need. Some owners and caretakers resist surgical sterilization for social, cultural, or health reasons. And while spaying and neutering are safe and effective procedures, they do present some risk of complication and carry both benefits and risks in terms of various health and behavioral effects. These are but some of the reasons we seek to expand options for dog and cat fertility control. Our intent is not to replace spay/neuter, but to increase the "tools" available to veterinarians, pet population control programs, and pet owners to achieve their goals, extend reach, and conserve resources.
The ideal non-surgical product would rapidly induce permanent sterilization in a single dose, eliminate fertility, and provide beneficial non-reproductive effects. It would be effective in dogs and cats of both sexes and beginning at pediatric ages (at least 8 weeks and above), and would be safe and easy to administer. However, it is much more likely that products that will be developed will meet some but not all of these criteria. ACC&D believes that those who may utilize any contraceptive or sterilant method need to have information about that method's mechanism of action, administration, contraindications, potential side effects, and non-reproductive effects so that they can make informed decisions.
If "overpopulation" is defined as more animals than humans find convenient, most of the world has overpopulation. Feral (unsocialized to humans), stray, or homeless cats and dogs are present to a greater or lesser degree in every country on earth. In the U.S. alone an estimated 4 million dogs and cats die in animal shelters every year. It is estimated that there are tens of millions of feral cats in the U.S., while feral dogs are a rare phenomenon. In countries such as India, however, that ratio is reversed. Even in communities where residents do not consider the number of animals to be "overpopulation," there can still be clear preferences about which animals' offspring are desired and which are not.
There is worldwide interest! As of July 2014, ACC&D's e-book on this topic has been downloaded by individuals from 71 countries and 45 states. ACC&D's 5th International Symposium on Non-Surgical Contraceptive Methods of Pet Population Control, held in 2013, drew more than 150 guest from six continents and 16 countries. Researchers, academics, veterinarians, veterinary students, animal welfare professionals, public health experts, wildlife biologists, foundation representatives, and government officials were all in attendance. The interdisciplinary nature of the Symposium reflects the interdisciplinary nature of those working on this issue.
ACC&D's Council of Stakeholders are committed to advancing and monitoring this emerging field; their organizations provide major operational support. Members include the ASPCA, The HSUS, Parsemus Foundation, Petco Foundation, The Regina Bauer Frankenberg Foundation, International Fund for Animal Welfare, and International Cat Care.
In 2008, the Found Animals Foundation announced the Michelson Prize & Grants in Reproductive Biology. The Michelson Prize offers $25 million to the first entity to provide a single-dose sterilant for male and female cats and dogs. The Michelson Grants program has committed up to $50 million to support promising research in this area. To date, the program has approved over 30 projects across the globe with nearly $14 million in financial support. Funded projects are studying diverse approaches to suppress fertility in cats and dogs without surgery.
Last but certainly not least, several veterinarians and animal welfare organizations are incorporating non-surgical population control methods into their practices and programs. You can read case studies here.
Efforts to control reproductive functions in pets without surgery began around 1960, when oral progestin contraceptives ("the pill") became widely available for women. Since then, scientists in numerous countries have taken varying approaches to develop effective, permanent contraceptives for cats and dogs. In the past ten years, the pace of work in this field has taken a huge leap forward; the years since 2008 have been particularly fruitful with the launch of the Michelson Prize & Grants in Reproductive Biology and commercial launch of Zeuterin/EsterilSol for male dogs.
Thorough investigation and approval of products is time-consuming and expensive, and requires substantial investment not only from scientists, but also from pharmaceutical companies and investors. Three products providing 1 year or longer contraception or permanent sterilization in cats and/or dogs have been approved: EsterilSol (as it is known outside the U.S.) or Zeuterin (its U.S. name) is a non-surgical sterilant for male dogs approved in the U.S., Mexico, Bolivia, Panama, and Colombia; Infertile is a non-surgical sterilant for male dogs approved in Brazil; Suprelorin is a contraceptive implant for male dogs lasting 6 or 12 months (both doses available) approved in Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union. To learn more, click visit our Available Products webpage.
For a product to meet ACC&D's priorities for population control, it must have the same or less risk than surgical sterilization. No medical intervention is entirely free of risks or side effects. Risks and benefits must be weighed for any intervention, including surgical sterilization. For any product to receive regulatory approval, it must meet criteria for safety and efficacy. The rigor and process for regulatory review varies by country. By the time any individual product is introduced to the market, specific safety data is available for that product. Different approaches will vary in their action, their contraindications, side effects, and non-reproductive effects.
For several reasons, it is most likely that non-surgical contraceptives/sterilants will be limited to administration by a licensed veterinarian, not a lay person. It is possible that certain individuals will be able to administer treatment under the supervision of a veterinarian, and/or after having received special certification. However, you may be able to have the procedure done in a home visit.
Development of contraceptive products for cats and dogs will require trials on cats and dogs. Safety and efficacy could not be established without such use. Additionally, data from trials of a formulation in the target species is required for regulatory approval. However, it is possible to limit use of live animals to cases in which it is truly necessary and to ensure humane treatment of any animals involved.
ACC&D embraces the principles of the three R's: Reduce, Refine, and Replace. Where animals must be used in studies, ACC&D believes the use of animals should conform to the well-defined animal use guidelines developed by the Found Animals Foundation for their Michelson Prize & Grants Program, currently the primary source of funding for research on non-surgical sterilant technologies for cats and dogs.
Toward the end goal of developing less invasive sterilization options, ACC&D may fund, undertake, or facilitate certain types of animal research that are minimally invasive and nonterminal when they advance the organization's mission. Examples include, but are not limited to: field studies to increase learning about existing products (those with regulatory approval and commercial availability for dogs and/or cats, or extra-label use of other approved products); development and testing of innovative methods for animal marking; and use of telemetry technology to study free-roaming dog and cat populations with the objective of optimizing the value of population control and welfare benefits provided by non-surgical fertility control options. Any research or studies with which ACC&D is involved must minimize pain, discomfort, and stress through appropriate veterinary and/or pharmacologic, as well as consider the animal welfare implications of animal sourcing.
To read ACC&D's position statement on animal use in research and to access the Michelson Prize & Grants Program animal use standards please click here.
We also welcome you to contact us with questions about ACC&D's perspectives on and role in relation to the use of animals in laboratory, clinical, or field studies.
Surgical sterilization (spay/neuter) is effective and widely available in many parts of the world. The best contribution the public can make to prevent unwanted litters is to sterilize cats and dogs—owned, stray, and feral.
Cats and dogs can become pregnant far earlier than most people realize. Never allow "just one litter." Early age spay/neuter (two months or two pounds) is safe and effective, and has been endorsed by the American Veterinary Medical Association for more than 20 years.
Pet owners in the U.S and some other countries have some non-surgical alternatives now (see Available Products) to consider as well. We hope this website helps you explore those options and make decisions related to what makes sense for your dog or cat.
Contact your veterinarian for more information, or check out Spay USA, Friends of Animals, or PetSmart Charities for information on spay/neuter programs and assistance in the United States.
We encourage you to learn more about our current and future work on this website. ACC&D is currently working on strategies laid out in our second five-year strategic plan, designed to expedite the availability of non-surgical options for pet birth control. We are also spearheading related projects, or Flagship Initiatives, that will help these new sterilants or long-term contraceptives be used more effectively, especially when managing free-roaming cats and community dogs.
One of our favorite questions! ACC&D is a charitable organization formed to expedite the development and introduction of safe, effective non-surgical contraceptives. But we need your help! Please visit our Get Involved page to find out how you can help make this dream a reality.

Not sure we can really tell you what you should focus on? what do you like doing best and concentrate most efforts on that is as far as I would go. everyone is different and far be it from us to tell you what you should be doing with your time!
Welcome Darren,
If you're not sure of your goals then it's difficult to plan for them. Saying that I guess a training plan for that half marathon is a good start.
Unlike you I'm very over weight but much like you I'm more interested in deviding my time between different sports.
It's ok to be an all-around athlete, but if you're only running for 5km and training for a half marathon I think you need to concentrate if you want to get around in one piece! The other sports will definetely help with the fitness, but you will need to work on your endurance and on building the required strength needed for running - by running not in the gym. I would also get outside - training for a long race on a treadmill would bore even the hardened gym-goer rigid.

BeschreibungThe notion of information is multifaceted. According to the case, it is a simple signal or already knowledge. lt responds to codes and is inscribed into a social relationship. There are clearly many perspectives which the social sciences can take to analyse the notion of information. The economy cannot account for the majority of situations where, in the activities of production, consumption or exchange, the notion of information finds itself implied, although each school of thought has its own understanding of the notion of information. This book takes this observation as a starting point and goes on to clarify a contemporary debate on the economy of information which remains quite vague, making use of the ways in which different theoretical approaches deal with information. To seize the nature and scope of the transformations in our societies, a consequence of our new ways of handling, stocking and circulating information in the workings of the markets like Organisations, such a theoretical exercise seems useful. The organisation of the book results from this choice. The contributions gathered in one part deal with the role of information in the functioning of the markets, those featuring in another are more interested in the organisations. To favour an enriching cross-reading of approaches developed in the two sections already referred to, we have preceded these with a section gathering approaches (which are more transversal) developing different theories of information (according to perspectives which are, respectively, systematic, statistical or strategic).

Nick's Meats and Grocery Shipping Ripoff! Hayward Minnesota
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I ordered product from Nick's Meats on 12/11/2013. I knew I would pay more for shipping because it was a food product. When Cheryl Enderson from Nick's Meats called to inform me that had shipped my product she also informed me of the total. My product cost $93 and they charged me $140 to ship it. When I checked with FEDEX online it should of been around $70. I contacted Cheryl Enderson on 12/23/2013 in email and it took her 4 days to get back to me. Considering it took her one day to get back to me on how to order the product. She of course did not take the blame and instead blamed it on Total Choice Shipping out of Albert Lea MN. This company seems to be running a sweet little scam along with Total Choice Shipping. They do not inform their customers of shipping charges, then when customer complains they say it's not them it's the other guy. When I asked for a receipt from Cheryl she sent me a hand written receipt. [continued below]....
This business has been around for a long time. That was why I ordered their product. We used to live close to them and my husband likes their beef jerky. But seeing how they cheat customers I will never do business with them again. If they have no problem cheating customers in shipping, what else are they cheating customers with?

For me, my morning routine starts with getting a full 8 hours of sleep, or at least in my dream world it does. Unfortunately, the reality is that I have a wandering mind, noisy neighbors, and a New York City apartment, so I consider myself lucky when I get 6-7 hours of sleep. To make up for my lack of sleep, I try to live a very healthy lifestyle. I take vitamins, drink lots of water, workout every day, start my day with fresh fruit and hot tea, and fill my plate with as many organic, whole foods as I can. But sometimes, even that isn't enough. To get an extra boost I rely on skin care products. I'm sure you all remember me talking about my crazy skin allergies, so the search to find products that are both safe for my skin AND beneficial isn't always easy. However, I was recently introduced to a product that does not upset my skin, but it is also perfect for rejuvenating after nights with little sleep. Olay Fresh Effects {Soak Up The Sun Protection!} Lightweight Moisturizing Sunscreen is beauty sleep in a bottle (minus the sleep part). It's infused with the essence of honeysuckle and white tea, which helps your skin to look refreshed and ready to face the day. It also has SPF 15 in it. I feel good using this product knowing that I am nourishing my skin and helping it to stay beautifully protected.
What is your morning routine like and how do you make up for a lack of sleep? Do you use the Olay Fresh Effects products?

The mosquito species Anopheles gambiae is a major carrier of dangerous malaria parasites in sub-Saharan Africa, where 90 per cent of annual malaria deaths occur. Malaria infects more than 200 million people each year and causes more than 430,000 deaths.
Now, a team of researchers led by Imperial College London have genetically modified Anopheles gambiae so that they carry a modified gene disrupting egg production in female mosquitoes. They used a technology called 'gene drive' to ensure the gene is passed down at an accelerated rate to offspring, spreading the gene through a population over time.
Within a few years, the spread could drastically reduce or eliminate local populations of the malaria-carrying mosquito species. Their findings represent an important step forward in the ability to develop novel methods of vector control.
Normally, each gene variant has a 50 per cent chance of being passed down from parents to their offspring. In the Imperial team's experiments with Anopheles gambiae, the gene for infertility was transmitted to more than 90 per cent of both male and female mosquitoes' offspring.
The technique uses recessive genes, so that many mosquitoes will inherit only one copy of the gene. Two copies are needed to cause infertility, meaning that mosquitoes with only one copy are carriers, and can spread the gene through a population.
This is the first time the technique has been demonstrated inAnopheles gambiae. The team targeted three different fertility genes and tested each for their suitability for affecting a mosquito population through gene drive, demonstrating the strength and flexibility of the technique to be applied to a range of genes. The results are published today in the journal Nature Biotechnology.
"The field has been trying to tackle malaria for more than 100 years. If successful, this technology has the potential to substantially reduce the transmission of malaria," said co-author Professor Andrea Crisanti from the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial.
"As with any new technology, there are many more steps we will go through to test and ensure the safety of the approach we are pursuing. It will be at least 10 more years before gene drive malaria mosquitos could be a working intervention," added Professor Austin Burt from Imperial's Department of Life Sciences.

This just came in over the window transom into Virtucon's virtual offices. We've known about this for a while, but have held off on releasing this so that Susan could do so on her own terms…
Over the last two years, I've heard the same thing from people across Stafford County and Fredericksburg: the politicians in Richmond are out of touch. They raise our taxes, waste our money and always ask for more—all while we're forced to cut our household budgets and sit in traffic.
That's why earlier today I announced my candidacy for the House of Delegates in House District 28, which has been held for nearly 28 years by Delegate Bill Howell, the Speaker of the House.
Bill Howell has been the consistent force behind every major tax increase in Virginia in the last decade. He has voted for them, he has engineered them and they are his legacy.
Simply put, Bill Howell has lost his way and is the chief architect of a tax-and-spend agenda that rewards the politicians and punishes the middle class. It is time for a change.
<spanstyle="text-decoration: underline;">Bill Howell has been a friend, but we have profound policy disagreements. We've helped each other in the past and we have worked together at many levels to elect Republicans to office. I was thrilled in 2009 when Republicans won all three statewide offices in Virginia and gained a super majority in the House of Delegates. But instead of leading as a conservative to transform government, Bill Howell squandered that opportunity by crafting the largest tax increase in Virginia's history in 2013.
Howell repeatedly sides with the liberal Democrats and The Washington Post editorial pages and thinks government needs more money. The truth is Richmond has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.
To make matters worse, Speaker Howell promised those new tax dollars would be spent to improve our roads. But after the 2013 tax hike, in their very next budget, the General Assembly unlocked the transportation "lockbox" and rolled the money into the general fund breaking that promise. Republicans must put a halt to the duplicitous nature of the tax-and-spend crowd in Richmond.
Speaker Howell has equally been a champion of skyrocketing spending. Virginia's budget has doubled under Howell's leadership. This year alone he grew the budget over 13%.
Conservative Republicans do not continually raise taxes and grow the size of government.
Governing is about making tough decisions, actually living within our means like families do every day, and doing right by the people who elect us.
I look forward to highlighting my record of cutting taxes, cutting spending and making government more efficient while prioritizing funds for roads, schools and public safety with Speaker Howell's tax hiking, big spending record.
For the first time in decades, voters will finally have a real choice and Bill Howell will have to explain why his engineering of massive tax increases in 2004, 2007 and 2013, and the doubling of Virginia's budget while we still sit in traffic, are good things for Virginians.
Susan Stimpson
P.S.: Deep-pocketed special interests in Richmond will spend whatever is required to protect Speaker Howell. Please consider making a generous contribution now to help us build a strong campaign and make the choice clear to voters: conservative governance or tax hikes and out-of-control spending. Contribute Now!

Dean Ryan never had to put up with this kind of grief in the Sky studio. If he needed any reminding of the pitfalls of life as a director of rugby – and he almost certainly did not – he has received it in abundance in the first two weeks of his return to the bear pit.
Worcester's new supremo has presided over two very respectable performances by his new charges, from which they have received next to nothing. The sheer frustration of taking part without taking part – the agony of any coach – was fairly oozing from the man after this home defeat against London Irish, a game they could easily have won, probably should have and certainly would have but for the inevitable late intervention of a referee, that other variable that cannot be controlled.
"I don't want to start ranting at refs in my second week back," he said calmly. "But that's the second week in a row we've been hit by random refereeing. There's an independent audit system now and it flagged up massively that we were right to feel hard done by in the last 20 minutes last week. I can't wait for the new one to come through for this week."
With four minutes remaining and Worcester a point ahead, having just regained the lead with a fine Ignacio Mieres try, Tim Wigglesworth, the referee, called everyone back for a penalty to London Irish. Apparently Ed Shervington, the Worcester hooker, had tackled someone without the ball at or around an attacking Irish lineout. The wonder was he did not refer it to the television match official, because he had not been shy of using him all match.
Perhaps he sensed the impatience of the home crowd, who had spent more time than they wanted staring dumbly at the big screen wondering what was being checked this time. This is the new reality for Premiership fans – TMOs at every match. At one point in the first half it looked as if the referee was checking just to see if there had been a knock-on. He is not allowed to do that unless it is in the build-up to a try, which this was not, so he must have been looking at something else, but the point is, nobody in the stadium knew what it was, as replay after replay showed a scrum-half fumbling after the ball.
For that final intervention, though, Wigglesworth was confident enough to award the match-winning penalty on his own, a decision that Ryan was "astounded" by. Nevertheless Ryan is rightly sticking to his guns re his team's approach. They had the game by the scruff of the neck in the first half, having dominated it and worked their first try, another fine one, by David Lemi. "That was as good as Leicester or Saracens at the 25-minute mark. We were structured and 10-3 up. We just have to learn to nail it, to turn it into 25-3, as they would have."
London Irish's tries were excellent, too, both scored by Marland Yarde either side of the break, both showcasing the young winger's formidable finishing skills. "I think the potential is there for everyone to see," said Topsy Ojo of his 21-year-old colleague. "He's had a cracking 18 months, breaking into the first team and going on tour with England. To start the season with three tries in the first two games is a sign of international form."
Certainly he was good enough to help Irish to this unlikely away win – the kind of uncontrollable variable to make a coach wonder about a career in television.

What's hard about parallelization* Getting the right data … … to the right nodes … … at the right time … … while dealing with errors … … and without overloading the network Otherwise, programming a grid is a lot like programming a single node. *in general -- not just for "database" technology MPP DBMS are good at parallelization … … under three assumptions, namely: You can express the job nicely in SQL … ... or whatever other automatically-parallel languages the DBMS offers You don't really need query fault-tolerance … … which is usually the case unless you have 1000s of nodes There's enough benefit to storing the data in tables to justify the overhead SQL commonly gets frustrating … … when you're dealing with sequences of events or relationships, because: Self-joins are expensive Programming is hard when you're not sure how long the sequence is For example: Clickstreams Financial data time series Social network graph analysis The pure MapReduce alternative Lightweight approach to parallelization The only absolute requirement is a certain simple programming model … … so simple that parallelization is "automatic" … … and very friendly to procedural languages It doesn't require a DBMS on the back end No SQL required! Non-DBMS implementations commonly have query fault-tolerance But you have to take care of optimizing data redistribution yourself MapReduce evolution Used under-the-covers for quite a while Named and popularized by Google Open-sourced in Hadoop Widely adopted by big web companies Integrated (at various levels) into MPP RDBMS Adopted for social network analysis Explored/investigated for data mining applications ??? M/R use cases -- large-scale ETL Text indexing Time series disaggregation This is how Google introduced the MapReduce concept Clickstream sessionization and analytics Stock trade pattern identification Relationship graph traversal M/R use cases – hardcore arithmetic Statistical routines Data "cooking" The essence of MapReduce "Map" steps Data redistribution "Reduce" steps In strict alternation … … or not-so-strict "Map" step basics (reality) Input = anything Set of data Output of previous Reduce step Output = anything There's an obvious key Map step basics (formality) Input = {<key, value> pairs} Output = {<key, value> pairs} Input and output key types don't have to be the same "Embarrassingly parallel" based on key Map step examples Word count Text indexing Input format = document/text string Output format = <WordName, 1> Input format = document/text string Output format = <WordName, (DocumentID, Offset)> Log parsing Input format = log file Output format = <Key, formatted event> Reduce step basics Input = {<key, value> pairs}, where all the keys are equal Output = {<key, value> pairs}, where the set commonly has cardinality = 1 Input and output key types don't have to be the same Just like Map, "embarrassingly parallel" based on key Reduce step examples Word count Text indexing Input format = <WordName, 1> Output format = <WordName, count> Input format = <WordName, (DocumentID, Offset)> Output format = <WordName, index file> Log parsing E.g., input format = <UserID or EventID, event record> E.g., output format = <Same, reformatted event record> More honoured in the breach than in the observance! Sometimes the Reduce step is trivial MapReduce for data mining Partition on some key Calculate a single vector* for each whole partition Aggregate the vectors Hooray! *Algorithm-dependent Sometimes Reduce doesn't reduce Tick stream data "cooking" can increase its size by one to two orders of magnitude Sessionization might just add a column – SessionID – to records Or is that a Map step masquerading as a Reduce? Some reasons to integrate SQL and MapReduce JOINs were invented for a reason So was SQL 2003 It's kind of traditional to keep data in an RDBMS Some ways to integrate SQL and MapReduce A SQL layer built on a MapReduce engine E.g., Facebook's Hive over Hadoop But building a DBMS-equivalent is hard MapReduce invoking SQL SQL invoking MapReduce Aster's SQL M/R To materialize or not to materialize? DBMS avoidance of intermediate materialization much better performance Classic MapReduce intermediate materialization query fault-tolerance How much does query fault-tolerance matter? (Query duration) x (Node count) Node MTTF vs. DBMS-style materialization strategies usually win Other reasons to put your data in a real database Query response time General performance Backup Security General administration SQL syntax General programmability and connectivity Aspects of Aster's approach to MapReduce Data stored in a database MapReduce execution managed by a DBMS Flexible MapReduce syntax MapReduce invoked via SQL Further information Curt A.
