Re: [beemonitoring] Demise of the honey bee?
The public also needs to know something of the Precautionary Principle, particularly when the stakes are as high as they are. Too often moneyed interests have trained the public to accept that the burden of proof should fall on those who seek to limit any activity that would result in an even temporary loss of economic gain for any stakeholder in a controversy. By saying "maybe yes and maybe no", the lazy-minded American public is then vulnerable to the usual barrage of bought and paid for BS from TV and other media, crooked politicians, etc.
So, the message should be that until the science is done, properly and transparently, we need a moratorium on the use of certain compounds.
Farmers got along without neonics for an awfully long time, so I find your statement about "what else will they use" somewhat confusing. Could you clarify?
I looked up the guide to Eastern bumble bees, and it looks great! Congratulations to all involved. Here is the link:
About the other thread on communicating science to the public:
There is a lot we can communicate that is not controversial – all this great information about the diversity of bees, their importance in the ecosystem and in agriculture, their need for floral resources, nesting sites - and even the need for protection from pesticides is uncontroversial up to a certain point. I believe the pesticide companies would agree that the direct spraying of linden trees in bloom with active bumble bees present, as happened in the incident in Oregon, is contrary to the label and therefore illegal.
But, as someone who does research on exposure of bees to pesticides, I can tell you that communication about a subject where there are economic interests on both sides, and the science is still not clear, is very tricky. People want a clear answer. They want to know what is killing the bees (honey bees, mostly, since they aren't much aware of other bees), so they can ban it or cure it, and the bees will be saved. That's why there is a paper every few months that is trumpeted by the media as "the answer to colony collapse disorder." Last month, it was chlorothalonil, a few months before, it was imidacloprid, before that clothianidin, before that Nosema ceranae, before that it was IAPV, and imidacloprid makes a return visit periodically.
And, of course, there are people who have an economic interest in making sure that the answer is not a pesticide (or at least not the one they manufacture, or apply, or need for their crop).
I got into this field about eight years ago (before colony collapse disorder) because I was reading the reports from Europe about imidacloprid, I knew how widely it was used, and how long it had been on the market; and I couldn't believe that we knew so little about the levels of exposure and effects on bees. I have helped to fill in a few gaps, and my collaborator Brian Eitzer, an analytical chemist who does pesticide testing for many bee projects, has filled in some more. The many bee experts looking at effects of neonicotinoids (and now fungicides) on susceptibility to disease and on behavior and learning (mostly in honey bees and a few bumble bee species) have also filled in gaps, working from a different direction.
The Europeans have decided there is enough evidence to ban neonicotinoids for most uses. They have different criteria than we do in the US – specifically, they have a much more precautionary approach. And, this decision was controversial among governments in Europe. There are well-respected European bee scientists who would argue – who have argued in the scientific literature – that the proof is not there to attribute major bee losses to neonicotinoids, outside of certain incidents.
I have to agree that the proof is not there – again outside of certain circumstances, like where dust from seed treatments blows off corn seed, spreading highly concentrated insecticide dust onto flowers in bloom or directly onto nearby honey bee hives. ( And even here, we need more information – how often does this happen? Are there ways to avoid this problem other than banning the active ingredient – changing the formulation for example? Or how farmers dispose of the dust?)
I have to ask, too – if we ban neonicotinoids, what would farmers use instead? Organophosphates? Pyrethroids? The people using neonics now are not going to become organic overnight.
Nevertheless, it is possible, if neonicotinoids really are the problem, that while the wheels of science are slowly turning, and the wheels of bureaucracy are also slowly turning, that in the meantime we are poisoning the bees (Honey bees? Bumble bees? Other bees closely associated with crops, like squash bees? Bees feeding at ornamental trees, like lindens?).
There are judgments to be made, based on values and economics and politics, and also based on what science we have. But we shouldn't pretend to have more certainty than we can support with evidence.
I see the parallels with climate science and climate change. I am currently reading the book, "Science as a Contact Sport" by Stephen Schneider, a leading climate scientist since the 1970s. He recounts, in sometimes excruciating detail, the process of communicating to policy makers – not just in the US, but around the world - how much we knew about climate change at each point along the way, and what the uncertainties were. The scientists struggled to communicate the importance of uncertainties – and that uncertainties carry two kinds of risk. There is the risk that we act before we have enough evidence, and our actions turn out to be unnecessary and costly. But, there is also the risk that we don't act and the consequences turn out to be much greater than we expect.
This is long and rambling, but I think all scientists whose work has policy implications need to struggle with these issues.

That is an interesting idea. For the bumble bee guides in China and other parts of the world we can possibly address that through the Bumblebee Specialist Group. As you know besides our IL and MO Bumble Bee guide there is currently a guide for Eastern and Western bumble bees (published through NAPPC) with an inclusive Bumble Bees of North America in prep. For general ID I would recommend the general two pagers developed by NAPPC just to get people to realize the diversity of our bees (see attached). Limited but a start. For general ID's on typical ground nesting and wood nesting bees/wasps this seems very worthwhile. BugLife in the UK has produced a number of laminated guides for their bees. I have also been talking with Waterford Press to produce a laminated bee guide for our region. This could be expanded to other regions as well.

Dear Ed:
Over the years I've received telephone calls from people asking me to identify bees or wasps that have invaded their porches or decks. They don't want to bring in a specimen and identifications based on their descriptions is limited. They almost always want me to recommend an insecticide.
This sounds like a worthy project for NAPPC. Members should know that we have a colorful and informative card allowing us to identify all the bumblebee species in Missouri via color patterns in workers and queens. My Chinese post-doc is so pleased with his copy he wants to see similar cards produced for districts in China. What about a similar card for common ground-nesting bees/wasps and a second card for wood-nesting bees/wasps we could give away to home owners? Another option is to produce this guide as a web page? We could save some people worry and money.
Liz, when we moved to the suburbs the lawn care companies were aggressive. They'd knock on your door or engage you while you were gardening and offer to tell you everything that was wrong with your grass. I told them I was willing to listen but warned them I was a professor of Botany at St. Louis U. Suddenly, they had no time to talk but they left me some nice cards to get in touch.

Regarding the uniformed pesticide applicators, we had an incident where one of our horticulturalist brought in a specimen that their "pest control expert" had identified as a ground nesting hornet next to their driveway and that they needed to be sprayed to protect them and their grandchildren. The specimen in question was Colletes inaequalis. I informed our horticulturalist of this and wrote up a one page ID sheet on the species with which they could educate their "expert." Unfortunately, the "bee bed" had already been sprayed. Luckily the application was ineffective and the bees survived. Our staff member talked to their pesticide applicator, told him he was wrong and asked for their money back. The company refused and they fired him.
Story is both our public, sometimes even our own staff, do not know the story that we are trying to tell and certainly those trying to make money off of the uneducated either do not try to become informed or willfully ignore the facts.

My impression of companies that spray lawns is that their personnel
are barely trained in their jobs, are hired mainly on their ability
to operate the truck and the equipment, and have no background in
horticulture or natural history. One such company fertilized my
neighbor's bluegrass lawn during a prolonged drought in the heat of
summer. Any horticulturalist would know not to fertilize plants that
are under water stress, but I guess that wasn't part of their
training. The lawn died from the treatment, and the company had to
replace it all with sod at great expense.

Students who graduate from elite universities do not earn any more over their lifetimes than if they had attended a less prestigious technology university, a new report reveals.
The Grattan Institute report, Mapping Australian Higher Education, finds that the choice of university degree has a strong effect on lifetime earnings but that the choice of university has relatively little impact.
The report finds that students graduating with an undergraduate commerce degree from a technology university such as the University of Technology Sydney or RMIT University will earn $3.2 million over their lifetime. This is the same amount as graduates from prestigious institutions such as the University of Sydney or the University of Melbourne once the graduates' socioeconomic background is taken into account.
This is despite the elite Group of Eight universities boasting higher entrance scores and performing better on international rankings.
The University of Sydney was ranked 60th in the latest Times Higher Education Supplement international rankings while UTS ranked in a range from 226 to 250. The University of Melbourne ranked 33rd while RMIT did not make the top 400.
"The starting salaries and career earnings results both suggest that research-based prestige is not particularly important in the Australian labour market, at least for bachelor degrees," the report says.
"The technology universities either do not rate or get low ratings in the research-driven international rankings, but their graduates earn as much as those from Group of Eight universities, which dominate research funding and rankings.
"Group of Eight universities get good results partly because they take students who would do well wherever they studied."
But there is a significant earnings difference when graduates from the Group of Eight or technology universities are compared to graduates from suburban and regional universities.
Over a 40-year career, a commerce graduate from a Group of Eight or technology university can expect to earn $200,000 more over their career than graduates from other universities. This represents an earnings advantage of 6 per cent.
The findings come as the federal government continues to argue that university fees should be deregulated, allowing universities to charge as much as they want for a degree.
The Group of Eight universities have been expected to be the big winners under a deregulated system because of the prestige attached to their degrees.
"The report shows that when it comes to earnings, what you study matters more than where you study," Grattan Institute higher education program director Andrew Norton said.
The typical law graduate earns $390,000 more over a 40-year career than a science graduate and a typical engineering graduate will earn about $330,000 more.
"Studying engineering at any university is likely to lead to a higher salary than studying arts at a sandstone university," Mr Norton said.
Mr Norton said the findings applied only to those with an undergraduate degree.

Bill Clinton reminded Democrats on Thursday why he's one of the brightest stars in the political universe—and a great cheerleader to have on your side—with a rousing speech in support of Barack Obama.
Aides were reportedly worried that Clinton might be booed when he made his entrance, but instead he had to ask, beg and, finally, command the crowd to stop applauding.
The former president touched on a number of important issues but had his most moving line on the subject of military force: "People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power."

He is a pro alright. He is a smooth operator. I'll never forget the week that NAFTA was pushed through and imposed on us without our support. The talk of the nation was "don't ask don't tell". A perfect "dog to wag". He was skillful. Just as the Republicans are skillful with the abortion issues, the bible in the court issue, gay marriage issues and many other issues that have nothing to do with the real important stuff like a war for oil and profit or the approval of mercenary groups in Colombia under the illusion of fighting drugs while the real reason is to subvert governments and place dictators in power to grease the NAFTA process. But who pays the price when they use our rights and liberties to rouse the crowds with speeches while, in secret or relative silence, a bill gets rammed through or a contract is granted without a bid. Bill made a brilliant speech that lifted our spirits but he didn't talk about the unpopular things that embarrassed "we the people" and left many to "pull themselves up by their own bootstraps" as Barack Obama put it in his speech when he was president. He opened the door for GW who has enriched that wealthy upper .01 percent which is the ruling class that has been lurking in the back ground with their powerful money all along in the history of our so called free country. Ask those who were arrested outside the DNC for their protest of the war in Iraq - who is free in this country? Did Bill mention the situation in Iraq other than his quotable line about "our example" in the world. He really didn't impress me. Ralph Nader impresses me. Dennis Kucinich is impressive. But we democrats and you misguided republicans will end up with that which those .01% ruling class folks paid for - either way. Oh, I'm just not satisfied with a speech.

What you people fail to recognize—and when I say you people, I mean anyone who still has a shred of faith in our political process—is that by simple virtue of having been nominated, both candidates are proven to be compromised beyond redemption. The current candidate vetting process in our two-party, privately-financed system requires presidential hopefuls to sellout early and completely. Otherwise a largely complicit media will portray them as crazed midgets, clowns, or dotards, or worse yet, ignore them entirely. Representative government is a chimera and elections are bawdy theater where bought-and-paid-for Le Pétomanes fart on an enthralled audience in exchange for votes.

Yes. Bill gave a good speech. It was more than good. It was perhaps his only speech ever with a quotable line. He said most everything that needed to be said, including the reminder that inexperience was used against him and that Obama is clearly ready to be president—a sentiment his wife was not big enough to express. He spoke to a much broader audience than did his wife, who smirks and sulks and ran one of the most disasterous campaigns in modern history. And he outshone her, like he has done every day of his life.
He was in peril of being utterly irrelevant and he decided it was time for a comeback. I still don't trust him. He's too unreliable. He could have been saying these things every day for the past months, but he would not. Whether he was managing expectations and creating drama by leaking word of his own hurt feelings, or truly throwing a hissy fit, who knows. It doesn't matter. He has reminded us why we liked him, but more than that why we like Obama. Obama offers steady calm punctuated by inspiration. You need never worry whether he is going to do something inappropriate or not do something that needs to be done.
Four more months.

President Clinton delivered a world-class speech at the DNC Wednesday night, proving, once again, he is the most capable, talented and respected politician of his generation. President Clinton skillfully passed the torch to Sen. Obama, the new leadership generation. Lets leave the old failed Republican past behind, vote Democratic for the best future.

Bill Clinton's speech was brilliant. Obama should use him on the campaign trail. Allowing Bill to promote Obama as Commander in Chief would show the depth of Obama's confidence in himself.

This convention was dead in the water.On Tuesday night,Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton walked on stage and showed us true greatness.Her loss of the nomination is America's greatest loss in this century.She brought life back into the convention and unity to the democratic party.On Monday night Senator Ted Kennedy appeared,in spite of his recent illness and of course he also gave an inspiring speech.It was said that he "passed the torch"to the nominee.With all due respect,Kennedy never had the torch.He was never our president.The torch was passed last night in Denver by our one and only Democratic president to be elected for two terms since President Theodore Rosevelt.The challenge now belongs to Obama.He must sink or swim on his own merit.I,myself am a lifetime Democrat,and have not yet decided on my choice for president.I am not yet convinced of his ability to lead my country.President and Senator Clinton have demonstrated their love of country and the Democratic party,in that order.They are truly the heart and soul of the Democratic party.They are the real deal

Global climate change panel admits error
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), whose findings have been controversial, will make its biggest admission this month — it was wrong on the extent of global warming by end of this century in 2007.delhi Updated: Sep 19, 2013 02:27 IST
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), whose findings have been controversial, will make its biggest admission this month — it was wrong on the extent of global warming by end of this century in 2007.
The IPCC fifth assessment report to be released by end of this month would claim that the global temperature will rise by 1 to 2.5 degree Celsius not by 1 to 3 degree Celsius claimed in the fourth assessment report.
The United Nations accredited IPCC's doomsday prediction led world leaders in 2009 to sign a highly divisive Copenhagen Accord. IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri was criticised for interpreting data wrongly to make exaggerated prediction like Himalayan glaciers would met by 2035.
A study in Nature Climate Change by University of Victoria's Francis Zwiers had found that climate change model had overestimated the warming by 100% in the past 20 years.
Longer monsoons
A leaked draft report of the IPCC interpreting monsoon data since 1980s says that India will have longer duration of monsoon even though the overall rainfall would remain same.
The monsoon rainfall which sets into India by end of May and continues till last week of September may extend to early October.
"Monsoon is dependent on many local and global factors. It is impossible to predict its period," a senior government official said.
The report also says that high rainfall days like the one in Uttarakhand on June 16 would increase in the coming years. This scientific aspect of the monsoon has been co-related by domestic scientists including the ones from Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology.
BN Goswami, director of Pune based Indian Institute of Tropical Metereology said increase in extreme rainfall days and decline in rain days during the monsoon is well established. But, linking to global climate change would be speculative, he added.

N nonmetallic element of Group 15 [Va] of the periodic table. It is a colourless, odourless, tasteless gas that is the most plentiful element in Earth 's atmosphere and is a constituent of all living matter. History About four-fifths of Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen, which was isolated and recognized as a specific substance during early investigations of the air. Carl Wilhelm Scheele, a Swedish chemist, showed in 1772 that air is a mixture of two gases, one of which he called "fire air," because it supported combustion, and the other "foul air," because it was left after the "fire air" had been used up. The "fire air" was, of course, oxygen and the "foul air" nitrogen. At about the same time, nitrogen also was recognized by a Scottish botanist, Daniel Rutherford (who was the first to publish his findings), by the British chemist Henry Cavendish, and by the British clergyman and scientist Joseph Priestley, who, with Scheele, is given credit for the discovery of oxygen.

Hello all,
what is this happening to my forum ?
Please guide me.
This appears to be an issue relating to your custom style. You may need to contact the developer for guidance.
but this is free theme..will they help ?
how can i revert back to normal theme...without changing anything apart from theme
Switch to the default style; if you deleted it, just create a new style with no parent.
but when i am doing so everything is changing..my ads are lost even logo is lost
You won't lose anything by just switching to another style. Your custom style will still be there.
thanks mate
To clarify, your custom style will still be selectable, but the changes you made will not show if you use the default style. Visual changes don't automatically transfer from one style to another, you have to reproduce them in every style you want to use.
The Twitter icon around your page could be a simple fix. I would need to know:
- which style were you using?
- a screenshot of your Style Properties, specifically Style Properties/General/Content
If we can see this page, we may be able to get a bit more info to help you, or we can try...
Separate names with a comma.

Izual's Descent is a tome found in Act IV of Diablo III, found in The Great Span.
It reads as follows:
The angel Izual was Tyrael's lieutenant, but he was captured by the enemy after an ill-advised assault upon the Hellforge. Izual surrendered to demonic corruption and revealed the secrets of the soulstones to the Prime Evils. Tyrael claimed that Izual was slain years ago, but his replacement has never emerged from the Crystal Arch... - Archangel Itherael

(Adds comments from conference call)
By Tom Polansek
CHICAGO, May 1 (Reuters) - CME Group Inc sought on Thursday to calm investors' concerns about its exposure to possible U.S. regulations targeting high-frequency trading after the world's largest futures market operator reported a 13 percent rise in first-quarter earnings.
Chicago-based CME invited analysts on a conference call to question its executives about high-frequency trading, a practice that has come under scrutiny from U.S. regulators and law enforcement in the past month.
Stock prices for exchanges and brokerage firms have dropped since the release of Michael Lewis' book "Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt," with CME shares tumbling more than 6 percent in the past month. Lewis says the U.S. stock market is rigged, with exchanges and alternative trading platforms favoring high-frequency trading firms.
For CME, high-frequency trading accounted for about 30 percent of volume and less than 15 percent of revenue in the first quarter, Chief Financial Officer James Parisi told analysts.
"I'd say it's a fairly conservative number," he said.
CME, which owns the Chicago Board of Trade, Chicago Mercantile Exchange and other markets, said its net profit in the quarter rose to $266.8 million, or 79 cents a share, from $235.8 million, or 71 cents a share, a year earlier.
Excluding a $12.9 million tax expense due mainly to changes in state law, earnings were in line with analysts' expectations at 83 cents a share.
Revenue of $777.4 million was up from $718.6 million a year ago and beat expectations of $776 million. Trading volumes during the quarter jumped 9 percent, led by interest rate and equity products.
CME shares fell 1.3 percent to $69.46.
"Today's in-line results should not have a material impact on the stock, but we note that quarter-to-date volumes are lagging our full-quarter forecast," UBS analyst Alex Kramm said.
High-frequency trading is carried out by many banks and proprietary trading firms using sophisticated computer programs to send large volumes of orders into financial markets, executing a portion of them when opportunities arise to capitalize on price imbalances, or to make markets.
The practice accounts for more than half of all U.S. stock trading volume and is being probed by the U.S. Department of Justice and federal regulators.
CME Executive Chairman Terrence Duffy said he felt "very comfortable" that regulators and lawmakers he has spoken to understood the differences between equity and futures markets. The company will "continually draw the differences" to try to prevent CME from being swept up in regulation that does not necessarily apply to it, he said.
A group of traders last month sued CME, accusing it of providing high-frequency traders with early access to market data. However, the exchange operator made data available to all participants at the same time, Chief Executive Phupinder Gill said. The company previously said the lawsuit was baseless.
Gill defended as fair CME's co-location services, in which trading firms place their computers alongside those of exchanges to gain faster access to markets, because "anybody can participate." (Reporting by Tom Polansek; Editing by Jeffrey Benkoe and Lisa Von Ahn)

What is Heaven like? Is it filled with little naked babies, clouds, and harps? If not, then what is it like, and what will we be doing there for all eternity?
These are questions most Christians have asked themselves at one time or another. To this day, bookstore shelves are filled with stories of Near Death Experiences and this or that person's 'vision' of Heaven and the afterlife. But how do you know who to trust? Which picture of Heaven is really accurate?
In this important Bible study, Dr. Brant Pitre takes you on a guided tour of heaven -- not by studying private revelations or accounts of Near Death Experiences, but by focusing on the most detailed and authoritative description of Heaven ever given: in the very last book of the Bible, Revelation chapters 21-22. In this set you will explore:
If you ever wondered--What's Heaven like?--but not known where to go for answers, then this is the Bible study for you.

**The following is a sample of my evolving dissertation. All the individuals are real individuals, but names have been changed unless they've requested to be called by their own names. Comments are very much appreciated. Thanks-Robby.**
"Contributing in some kind of tangible way to creating an example, and living by example, is kind of the way I've chosen to do my activism. I'm not into lobbying and protesting, but I am into just being a certain way so that people can say 'that's do-able.'" –Sam, Dancing Rabbit Member
It's 7AM and still early enough to enjoy the sun's light before its heat arrives. Over the past month, I have made a morning ritual of appreciating this time window by sitting on the porch of the Milkweed Mercantile and watching the steam roll off the edge of my coffee mug. I can hear the birds already hard at work, and I imagine they're well aware of how hot their universe is about to become. In several hours, I will once again find that I've drenched my t-shirt with sweat. I'll curse my genetics for the sweat and blame two hundred years of climate-altering urban development for the brain boiling heat. At some point in the mid-afternoon, I'll make a facetious comment about how "global warming" is a myth. I'll wonder why the data collection portion of my dissertation couldn't involve pouring over excel spreadsheets in an air-conditioned office. I'll escape to the pond to cool off, only to find that consecutive days of heat and sun have transformed a once refreshingly cool swimming hole into a receding mud broth. When I emerge from the pond, I won't waste my time drying off with a towel because I'll sweat for the next four hours regardless of how hard I work.
And so, it is with pleasant irony that I'm inhaling scalding coffee just before breakfast and another day of dishwashing, wood-piling, and ethnographic interviews.
My perch, the 'Mercantile' porch, forms the eastern wall of a small courtyard near the entrance of Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage. During the short life of this coffee I'll watch a half dozen 'Rabbits' penetrate the courtyard's edges. I'll see Matthew emerge from Skyhouse—the two-story straw bale building opposite the courtyard from me—to deposit breakfast scraps in his compost pile around back. I'll see Rusty, a lanky, sixty-something Texan, beginning his daily two-mile walk to the small town of Rutledge, where'll he chat up the locals. I'll see Bethany and several others wander into the Common House, a salmon colored building on the north side of the courtyard and the nerve center of the village. Two hundred feet north of the courtyard (to my left), I can hear Ramona and her crew chipping away at a concrete floor that was poured mistakenly by one of her crew members the day before. They've been working for hours.
If this morning were like most mornings, I would sneak a look at my e-mail on my laptop before heading inside to help prepare breakfast. But today is different, and my morning trance is interrupted by a distant barreling scream: "Wall raising!" The scream is a reminder that Big John needs help raising the walls of the dance hall that another Dancing Rabbit member has contracted him to build. After one final sip of my coffee, I take a short walk toward the building site where I'm joined by an ad hoc team of Dancing Rabbit members, residents, and work-exchangers. Within five minutes, the building site is flooded with more help than can safely fit on the raised foundation, and so the late-comers sit on the adjacent gravel path and watch the process alongside some of the community's children. This wall raising is the culmination of several weeks of detailed work by Big John and his crew. By every Dancing Rabbit standard, this construction project has progressed impressively fast, and in a moment I will join a small group of volunteers in raising the building's western and eastern walls. The whole process will take ten minutes. It will barely interrupt my day, and yet, as the construction process continues I'll walk past the building feeling a small sense of ownership and pride. I'll feel the same sense of ownership strolling past a roof I helped assemble, a cob plaster wall I ornamented with recycled wine bottles, a 12' x 12' tent platform I nailed together, and garden beds I helped weed over a year ago. None of these items are—nor have they ever been—my property, but these otherwise inanimate items take on a strong symbolic meaning for me, as if a part of me is left in them. I can only imagine how a similar stroll around Dancing Rabbit feels to individuals that have spent years or decades building a village.
Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage (DR) is a community of individuals devoted to ecologically sustainable living in rural Scotland County, Missouri. During the summers of 2010 and 2011, I lived and "wexed" at Dancing Rabbit, and have visited intermittently during the Falls, Winters, and Springs. At the time of this writing, DR is home to a growing population of about 60 adult and 10 children. During the "building season" which lasts from mid-Spring to mid-Fall the community will be inundated with dozens of work-exchangers (wexers), short-term visitors, and assorted guests, some of whom will stay and become members themselves.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- It was a trying week for the University of Alabama, but on Saturday things got a little brighter. In front of 12,988 fans at Coleman Coliseum, the Crimson Tide rebounded from back-to-back losses to beat rival Tennessee, 62-50.
After the game, coach Anthony Grant was noticeably pleased, eager to praise his team's tenacity on the court.
"I thought we played with a lot of fight, with a lot of hunger," Grant said. "... I think our guys are focused on trying to get wins and be the best they can be.
Alabama (17-9, 6-6) got significant contributions from the bench and negated Tennessee's playmakers with stingy defense and a host of blocked shots. The Vols (14-13, 6-6) ended the night shooting 34 percent from the floor.
Playing with effort
Maybe it was the culmination of a week of struggling, or maybe the Tide was just sick of losing. Whatever it was, Alabama came out against Tennessee a different team. Eight players logged at least 9 minutes and from top to bottom, they made their time count. Carl Engstrom, forced into action with the suspensions of forwards JaMychal Green and Tony Mitchell, protected the basket on both ends of the court. Moussa Gueye may not have scored many baskets in his 15-plus minutes of play, but his impact was felt. The sophomore center had 6 blocks and pulled down 2 rebounds. Grant said he was impressed with the effort of his two 7-footers, adding that they "took a step forward today."
Even the guards got in on the physical play, scrapping their way to 27 rebounds and snatching away 15 steals.
"I was really proud of the effort." Grant said. "They had great awareness tonight. They were alert and talking with each other. They had great communication today, great togetherness."
Lacey resurgent
Freshman guard Trevor Lacey looked like he finally broke off the leash on Saturday afternoon, freewheeling his way on offense to a team-high 18 points. It was the most points he's scored since Jan. 7 against Georgia. In the last 10 games he had averaged just 5.2 points per game. Against Tennessee, Lacey was a new man, attacking the basket and utilizing the athleticism and strength that made him a premier recruit coming out of high school in Huntsville, Ala. He forced the issue, getting into the paint and drawing fouls. His 12 free throw attempts tied for the most by an Alabama player all season. The 6-foot-3, 200 pounder chipped in with 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 steals.
"He was aggressive. I told him after the game that that's what we need out of him," Grant said. "When you're a young guy sometimes you try and figure out where you fit and what's my role, what do I do? Sometimes you try to rely on one thing. I thought tonight he was aggressive whether it was attacking the rim or his jump shot or whatever it was. He was aggressive and wasn't worried about making a mistake or the impact of missing a shot. He was able to move on to the next play.
"He's got a very high baseball IQ and a very high skill level. He has the ability to make plays for himself and his teammates when he's aggressive like he was tonight. He was able to get in the lane and make some passes."
Junior guard Andrew Steele said on Friday that the Tide would have to push the ball on offense, negating Tennessee's frontcourt by playing transition basketball. While UA did attack the rim better than in games past, the Tide could not get out in transition, scoring just 4 points on the fast break. Still, Alabama dominated the paint, out-scoring the Vols 22 to 18 under the basket and winning the rebound battle by six. ... Carl Engstrom had a career night against the Vols, poring in 7 points on 3 of 4 shooting. He played good defense as well, hauling in 6 rebounds. ... Nick Jacobs, who started the last six games, did not play against Tennessee. He had what Grant said was a mouth infection following a root canal surgery earlier in the week. ... Alabama will travel to Arkansas on Thursday for a 6 p.m. CT tip.

We always caution everyone to never sell fake products, especially on eBay. But this is one fake product that is hitting the sales charts exceptionally! Vanity and the desire to look glamorous are considered norms to most women these day and I bet this is the reason why more and more women just can't stop using fake lashes! The Market Research Lab confirms fake lashes to be a highly profitable niche!
Can't wait to list your first fakes (fake lashes, of course!)? Well here's a quick snapshot of all the important stats you need to know before you do so:
Skip to supplier details or read on for the full lowdown.
I've been searching since last week for a good niche to share with you guys and have gone through a lot of misses, so upon seeing the success rate of fake lashes at 59% I knew I had found the product I had been searching for!
Another reason my grin is wider than ever is that one of our featured suppliers sells fake lashes at a little over $2, so an average sale price of $7.93 is sure to leave you with a decent profit margin.
It gets even better! The Market Research Lab gave fake lashes a LOW competition rating, meaning the market is not at all saturated and there is plenty of room for your listings. Check out the number of total bids—8,555, nearly 4 times higher than the number of total listings! Need I say more?
Based on this graph, I feel confident in assuming that fake lashes are a rising trend! With sales peaking at 341 pairs, this is definitely a profitable and promising niche—they're selling like hotcakes!
Time to do some quick keyword research to help us determine if selling fake lashes outside eBay is a good idea. Let's see what Traffic Travis has to say about the possibility of selling them through your own online store.
I certainly like what I'm seeing! The global (4,400) and local (1,900) search results clearly indicate that you will have buyers come your way whether you are selling on eBay or in your own stores.
