By Piotr Naskrecki - The best part of traveling with a group of biologists in a place like the Cheringoma Plateau is the impossibility of ever being bored. Not only can you witness hilarious and exotic injuries (where else do people get bitten by bats?), but every day brings new discoveries of things you never thought existed. At our first camp, which was located on the rim of a deep, stunningly beautiful limestone gorge called Nhagutua, our team's myrmecologist Leeanne Alonso found a colony of what is arguably the most amazing ant species on the planet. Leeanne was collecting ants running on the trunk of a large Knobthorn (Acacia nigrescens), and on a whim pulled off a piece of bark from the tree. To her surprise she found underneath a nest of tiny, yellow ants, which she immediately recognized as members of the genus Melissotarsus.

A few things make Melissotarsus stand out among other ants. Unlike other species, their adult workers retain the ability to spin silk (a characteristic typical of many ant larvae), which is produced from a gland on the underside of the head and spun with special brushes on the tarsus. The brushes pull the viscous fibers from the silk spigots, stretch, shear it, and line the wood corridors with it. The silk lining presumably helps prevent the invasion of the colony by predators, and may help keep the corridors free from fungi and other pathogens.

Photo: Melissotarsus ants are incapable of walking or even standing on flat, smooth surfaces, and immediately fall on their back, unable to right themselves up.
Melissotarsus workers never leave the nest to forage outside, for two important reasons. For one, they have a strongly reduced sting, which makes them highly vulnerable to attacks by other ants. In fact, minutes after Leeanne had opened their nest it was invaded by Crematogaster and Pheidole ants, which quickly wiped out all workers and larvae present in the exposed corridors. But even more importantly the ants could not forage outside their narrow corridors even if the world outside was safe and friendly, for the simple fact that they cannot walk. Yes, these six-legged insects are incapable of walking or even standing on flat surfaces outside the narrow confines of their nest. Inside the narrow wood corridors they move in a way reminiscent of a rock climber squeezing between two vertical walls by pressing the back and knees against the wall (a move known as stemming). Their first and third pair of legs points down, like in all other insects, but the second pair of legs is usually held up, with the feet pressing against the ceiling. I placed a few individuals on the flat surface of my portable photo studio, and they immediately fell on their back and flailed their legs helplessly.
Photo: Opened corridors of the Melissotarsus (probably M. emeryi) colony within the wood of Knobthorn (Acacia nigrescens). The yellow objects are diaspidid scale insects, which the ants raise for their meat.
Since these insects cannot leave their nest inside the tree, they are forced to obtain all their food there. They do so by raising scale insects, mostly of the family Diaspididae. Symbiotic relationships between ants and scale insects are not uncommon – many ant species tend and protect them in exchange for honeydew produced by these floem-feeding insects. Melissotarsus also collect honeydew from some species of scale insects and groom them constantly, removing wax from the insects' bodies and preventing the formation of the protective shield that scale insects are typically covered with. But the bulk of their food comes not from the sugary water exuded by the scales (in fact, most of the species they raise don't produce honeydew), but rather from slaughtering the scale insects for meat. This, as far as I know, is the only example outside of human societies of an organism raising another species for its flesh, and adds animal husbandry to the already impressive list of seemingly human skills (e.g., architecture, farming, solar navigation) that ants had evolved long before our species first appeared on Earth.
Photo: A Melissotarsus worker walking through narrow passages of her nest; notice the second pair of legs, which is pressed against the ceiling of the corridor.

Australian police have charged a man with indecently assaulting American actress Sarah Hyland, star of hit television comedy Modern Family, in Sydney.
The cast of the ABC series arrived in the city this week to shoot an Australian episode.
The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported that the 23-year-old was attending a social function for cast members at a Sydney hotel when she was allegedly groped on the chest by a man who had asked her to pose for a photograph.
Sarah, who plays big-eyed teenager Haley Dunphy, immediately alerted private security guards, who called police to the scene.
Police said in a statement that a 29-year-old man had been charged following the alleged indecent assault.
The actress later apologised on Twitter for leaving early, tweeting: "Sorry to all the fans outside the #qantas event that I didn't get to say hi to but I had to leave due to an inappropriate touch of a fan."

An attempt by the Australian Greens to make the federal government's debt levy on the rich permanent has failed to get parliamentary support.
The minor party on Monday tried to rally support in the Senate to make the government's proposed temporary tax hike on high income earners a permanent impost.
But the amendment failed to lift off, with just independent senator Nick Xenophon joining the nine Greens senators in backing the idea.
It was overwhelmingly defeated by the government and Labor, which supports the debt levy proposal.
Under the legislation, the top tax rate applying to income earned over $180,000 would be increased from 45 per cent to 47 per cent.
The tax hike would take effect from July and last three years.
Debate has adjourned on the Tax Laws Amendment (Temporary Budget Repair Levy) Bill 2014.

This winter jacket's reversible lining has silver and black sides. The breathable aluminum-coated surface reflects up to 47% more sun than the cold weather black side, keeping the wearer much cooler when its out.
The jacket is filled with a primaloft, my favourite synthetic down replacement, which stays warm when damp. I'm curious as to how breathable this jacket is, overall, given the black side's weatherproof coating. [TNF]

Forty ways to get unstuck career-wise: downloadable eBook
I worked in a fast-growing high tech company, and it was all fun and games until the CEO said, "Hey, I'm selling the company." I only got to tell one person, my friend Diane, because Diane and I had to plan the employee communications strategy. "So anyway, Diane," I told her, "I don't know how to tell you this, but the company is going to be sold."
"Well, now I know what my weekend entails," she said. It was Friday afternoon. "Fetal position, in the bed, with Oreos." We laughed our heads off, and I don't think either of us laughed again for three months.
Losing your job is no picnic. Coming back to work after a period of unemployment is hard, too, and so is getting back into the workforce when you've been home raising kids or tending to a family member. All of it is hard. We are trained to think about what we don't have — years of experience, or long lists of certifications, or some other left-brain metric that has zip-all to do with anything on the actual job once you get it. But most of us have drunk a lot of dogma-flavored Kool-Aid over the years. We start to believe that we are lacking, that our job search will be hard, or that we're going to be stuck forever doing something we don't like because it's too hard to do anything else.
When we are in transition, it can be hard to even think about what to do next, much less to act on it. It's a confusing and frustrating time for most of us. We know that eventually the clouds will part, but when? We don't know how to proceed. Ironically, it's in the time of greatest confusion that most of the learning happens, but that doesn't make being stuck any easier while we're experiencing it.
Here's a little tool for people in transition, from new grads to mid-career reinventionists and beyond. It's called Forty Ways to Get Unstuck Careerwise. It's got ideas for getting unstuck from any tarpatch that is slowing you down on your path. Download the Ebook Forty Ways to Get Unstuck Careerwise, then leave a comment below and tell us what you think about it!

While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. While working to solve the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -- clues visible for all to see -- yet ingeniously disguised by the painter. Langdon joins forces with a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion -- an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others. In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who seems to anticipate their every move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret -- and an explosive historical truth -- will be lost forever.
The book that everyone owns and no one has read becomes the movie that everyone is excited about and can't tell you why. The best selling novel, The DaVinci Code comes to movie screens under the perennially Oscar contending power of Ron Howard and Tom Hanks.
While a few disturbed individuals still believe the book is fact, it's undeniably a work of fiction, and apparently a pretty good one if Howard is making something out of it. Ron has proven himself repeatedly as a master director, and after his Oscar win for A Beautiful Mind his position seems more than ever solidified. Though I'd be little interested in this project on its own, Howard and Hanks gives it a kind of validity it couldn't have achieved on its own. Sure, it's a blatant Hollywood cash in on the popularity of the book (kind of like an adult Harry Potter) but with such great people involved it'll be a high quality cash in. I can live with that.
The premise is basically this: An expert in religious symbols, Dr. Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) is summoned to the Louvre only to discover he's a prime suspect in the murder of a historian. With the help of a French cryptographer (Audrie Tautou) Langdon is forced to play Encyclopedia Brown, uncovering a string of cryptic codes and puzzles while staying a step ahead of the cops. At some point, Langdon flies through the cracks in the Mona Lisa, then opens the Ark of the Covenant so it can eat his enemies faces off while he hunts for Templar gold underneath a church.

There is often debate among brownie fans on whether it is better to be fudge-y or cake-y. I have mostly stayed away from this because I'm not enough of a brownie enthusiast to really care one way more than the other.
Besides, the only thing that really matters when it comes to the brownie is the slightly crisped edges and the crackled top. For me, that is where the beauty of the brownie lies.
But, let's face it, unless you have one of those special "all edge" pans with their labyrinthine shape, someone is getting stuck with the middle bits.
And that's how I thought things would always be, until I tried these flourless chocolate-walnut cookies.
OK, they are not brownies. For someone like me, they are even better. They are cookies that taste like the crinkled surface layer of a brownie with its slight chew and crackle goodness, studded with chunks of walnuts.
To be honest, flourless chocolate cookies were not high on my list of things to bake when I stumbled across the recipe. But I came upon it after I had put some egg whites in the freezer, unsure what to do with them after using up the yolks.
I could have saved them for a pavlova, but figured it was worth trying out something new.
The list of ingredients was straightforward, if not a bit puzzling. I've never measured out three cups of icing sugar for a cookie recipe before.
Nor was I actually convinced that the airy ingredients would transform in the oven to some sort of cookie delight.
However, it did have a few things going for it: I already had egg whites ready to go and the recipe reminded me of a package of cookies I bought from a chain store grocery store once.
I served them to friends with a dollop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched between: a gourmet version of the childhood treat. It seemed worthwhile to see if these could compare. Or, as the case ended up being, improve on the store bakery version. The chocolate chew and nuts in a tender cookie package were so right. And they were light and not overly sweet. (Though, that was dangerous too, as it was easy to eat more than one or two and feel I still had room for another.) Mine did not get as shiny as I have seen in other people's photos of the same type of cookies.
Normally I'd get a bit worried. Or envious.
Why do mine look different?
But after sampling one — OK, several — of the cookies, I realized I didn't care what they looked like. They were fantastic.
I have since found myself trying to find recipes that use up only yolks so that I can take advantage of this cookie recipe again.
Francois Payard's Flourless Chocolate-Walnut Cookies
from New York magazine
- 2¾ cups (675 mL) walnut halves
- 3 cups (750 mL) confectioners/ icing sugar
- 1/2 cup plus 3 tbsp (170 mL) unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
- 4 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the walnut halves on a large-rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 9 minutes, until they are golden and fragrant. Let cool slightly, then move the walnut halves to a work surface and coarsely chop them.
Position two racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and lower temperature to 320°F (160°C). Line two large-rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk (or use an electric mixer on low speed) the confectioners' sugar with the cocoa powder and salt followed by the chopped walnuts. While whisking (or once you change the speed to medium), add the egg whites and vanilla extract and beat just until the batter is moistened. Do not overbeat or it will stiffen.
Spoon the batter onto the baking sheets in 12 evenly spaced mounds, and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until the tops are glossy and lightly cracked; shift the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through to ensure even baking.
Slide the parchment paper (with the cookies) onto 2 wire racks. Let cookies cool completely, and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

REPORT: Media Overwhelmingly Focus On Rulings Against Health Care Reform Constitutionality
A majority of federal rulings on the substance of President Obama's health care reform law have found it to be constitutional, including the law's mandate that individuals purchase health insurance. But a Media Matters review of the five largest newspapers and the flagship CNN, Fox News, ABC, CBS, and NBC evening news programs finds that the media overwhelmingly focused on rulings that struck down the law in whole or in part -- 84 percent of segments on the broadcast and cable programs reviewed and 59 percent of newspaper articles that reported on such rulings -- while largely ignoring rulings that found it constitutional or dismissed the case.
Individual Mandate A Conservative Idea, Assumed Constitutional Until Health Reform Fight
Individual Mandate Invented By Conservative Heritage Foundation, Supported By GOP In '90s. In an article for The New Yorker, Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein wrote:
The mandate made its political début in a 1989 Heritage Foundation brief titled "Assuring Affordable Health Care for All Americans," as a counterpoint to the single-payer system and the employer mandate, which were favored in Democratic circles. In the brief, Stuart Butler, the foundation's health-care expert, argued, "Many states now require passengers in automobiles to wear seat-belts for their own protection. Many others require anybody driving a car to have liability insurance. But neither the federal government nor any state requires all households to protect themselves from the potentially catastrophic costs of a serious accident or illness. Under the Heritage plan, there would be such a requirement." The mandate made its first legislative appearance in 1993, in the Health Equity and Access Reform Today Act--the Republicans' alternative to President Clinton's health-reform bill--which was sponsored by John Chafee, of Rhode Island, and co-sponsored by eighteen Republicans, including Bob Dole, who was then the Senate Minority Leader. [The New Yorker, 6/25/12]
Klein: "It Was Hard To Find A Law Professor In The Country" Who Found Health Care Law Unconstitutional When It Was Passed. Klein quoted several law professors questioning the legal standing of the argument suggesting that an individual mandate for health insurance is unconstitutional at the time legal challenges against it began:
In March 23, 2010, the day that President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, fourteen state attorneys general filed suit against the law's requirement that most Americans purchase health insurance, on the ground that it was unconstitutional. It was hard to find a law professor in the country who took them seriously. "The argument about constitutionality is, if not frivolous, close to it," Sanford Levinson, a University of Texas law-school professor, told the McClatchy newspapers. Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the law school at the University of California at Irvine, told the Times, "There is no case law, post 1937, that would support an individual's right not to buy health care if the government wants to mandate it." Orin Kerr, a George Washington University professor who had clerked for Justice Anthony Kennedy, said, "There is a less than one-per-cent chance that the courts will invalidate the individual mandate." [The New Yorker, 6/25/12]
Law Professor Unable "To Find Even A Hint Of The Constitutional Objection Before Obama's Election." Andrew Koppelman, a John Paul Stevens Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University who is writing a book on constitutional objections to the law, wrote in Salon:
The constitutional limits that the bill supposedly disregarded could not have been anticipated because they did not exist while the bill was being written. They were invented only in the fall of 2009, quite late in the legislative process. [Salon, 5/31/12, emphasis in original]
More Courts Have Upheld The Law Than Overturned It. According to a compilation of court cases related to the Affordable Care Act by Kaiser Health News, four courts -- the Northern District of Florida, the Eastern District of Virginia, the Middle District of Pennsylvania, and the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals -- have struck down the law in whole or in part. In contrast, five courts -- the Western District of Virginia, the Eastern District of Michigan, the District of Columbia, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, and the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals -- have upheld the individual mandate as constitutional. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals later vacated the judgments of the Virginia district courts and remanded those cases for dismissal on jurisdictional grounds. In several other cases, courts dismissed the complaint without ruling on the constitutionality of the law. [Kaiser Health News, 11/14/11]
Media Overwhelmingly Focused On Rulings Against Constitutionality
84 Percent Of Broadcast And Cable Segments Reported On Rulings Striking Down The Law. Out of a total of 31 segments on ABC's World News, CBS' Evening News, NBC's Nightly News, CNN's The Situation Room, and Fox News' Special Report that reported on court rulings related to the health care law, 26 (or 84 percent) dealt with rulings that found the individual mandate unconstitutional. In contrast, only three (or 10 percent) segments reported on rulings that upheld the law. Two segments (or six percent) reported on court rulings that dismissed their cases without ruling on substance.
Broadcast And Cable Spent 97 Percent Of Time Devoted To Health Care Ruling Coverage On Decisions Striking Down The Law. Cable networks spent the most time -- about 50 minutes -- on reports on court rulings that found the individual mandate unconstitutional. The Situation Room devoted about 22 minutes, and Special Report devoted about 28 minutes, with each devoting less than one minute to reports on rulings upholding the law or dismissing the case. In broadcast, ABC and CBS only produced reports on court rulings that found the individual mandate unconstitutional -- about two-and-a-half minutes for World News and about three minutes for Evening News. Nightly News spent almost three minutes on reports on court rulings that found the individual mandate unconstitutional and less than 30 seconds reporting on rulings upholding the law.
Nearly 6 In 10 Print Articles In Leading Papers Reported Rulings Striking Down Law. Out of a total of 59 articles on court rulings in the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post, 35 (or 59 percent) reported on decisions that found the individual mandate unconstitutional. In contrast, only 17 (or 29 percent) articles reported on rulings that found the provision to be constitutional. Eight articles (or 13 percent) reported on court rulings that dismissed their cases.
Articles On Rulings Finding Law Unconstitutional Far More Likely To Land On Front Page. Between all five papers, 10 articles reporting on court rulings that struck down the law in whole or in part were published on their respective front pages. In contrast, only a single article, from USA Today, about a court ruling upholding constitutionality of the law was published on the front page.
Message Received: Americans Now Overwhelmingly Believe That The Individual Mandate Is Unconstitutional
According To Polls, Americans Believe That The Individual Mandate Is Unconstitutional. The media's treatment of these court rulings puts the fact that many Americans now believe that the individual mandate is unconstitutional into important context. A USA Today/Gallup poll from February found that 72 percent of Americans believe that the provision is unconstitutional while only 22 percent believe that it is constitutional. Another poll from April by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 51 percent of American adults think that the Supreme Court should rule that the individual mandate is unconstitutional while only 26 percent think that the court should rule for constitutionality. Similarly, a McClatchy-Marist poll conducted in March found that 53 percent of American adults hold the opinion that the Supreme Court should either "declare individual mandate unconstitutional" or "repeal [the law] completely" while only 35 percent believe the court should "let it stand." [Gallup, 2/17/12; via Polling Report]
Media Matters searched the Nexis database for news segments and articles within three days of each ruling from ABC's World News, CBS' Evening News, NBC's Nightly News, CNN's The Situation Room, Fox News' Special Report, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, and The Washington Post. We searched the Factiva database for The Wall Street Journal.
We did not include MSNBC in the data because the cable network does not broadcast a straight-news program in the evening. NBC holds 50 percent ownership in MSNBC, and thus, does not schedule such a show to compete with its flagship program, Nightly News.
We counted any segments or articles that included keywords "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," "Affordable Care Act," "Patient Protection," "Obamacare," or "health care" within 50 words of keywords "appeals court," "district court," "appellate court," "lower court," "court," "lawsuit," or "judge." We determined the length of each segment by reviewing the raw video.
For television, we did not include teasers or minor mentions within a segment unless such a mention generated significant discussion (e.g., a multiguest panel where one of the topics was a relevant court ruling). For print, we did not include op-eds or editorials.
The rulings we searched are listed below by date, ruling judge(s) and court, and result.

- September 8, 2010; Susan Webber Wright, Eastern District of Arkansas. Case Dismissed.

This is one of the stranger stories about California government that I've encountered in a long time. In one of his last acts as state attorney general before he becomes governor, Brown is suing a state agency on a type of claim that his office has been defending the same state agency against.
If that sounds complicated, it is. But also interesting. Robert Salladay of California Watch explains here.
What does this mean for fixing California? Well, this lawsuit provides a good example why there shouldn't be a separately elected attorney general -- or separately elected statewide executive officials in general. The only such elected official should be the governor, who, if given proper executive control, should be able to save time and money by preventing state agencies from suing each other.

The County
Written by Garry and last edited by Garry on
The county of which Neuss forms the heart and quasi capital is known as the Rhein Kreis Neuss (Rhine County Neuss). It was formed during administrative reshuffling and boundary changes during the mid nineteen-seventies.
The county comprises of the six towns and two municipalities of Dormagen, Grevenbroich, Jüchen, Kaarst, Korsenbroich, Meerbusch, Neuss and Rommerskirchen.
Some 450,000 residents can be counted in the county. The industrial and administrive landscape is strong as well as revealing a somewhat agricultural landscape. Many international firms are located across the region as well as in the county's administrative seat of Neuss.

Florida Snake Identification Key
Mole Kingsnake
Scientific name: Lampropeltis calligaster (HARLAN 1827)
The following will separate the two Mole Kingsnakes found in Florida. If you are unable to distinguish between them based on the characteristics in the key below, you probably can do so using the geographic location alone.
Select the box below that is the closest match to your snake:
50 or fewer black-bordered reddish-brown body blotches; the Florida panhandle.
Your snake could be a Mole Kingsnake, Lampropeltis calligaster rhombomaculata.
52 or more black-bordered reddish-brown body blotches; scattered populations from Lake Okeechobee west to De Sota County and north to Brevard County.
Your snake could be a Southern Florida Mole Kingsnake, Lampropeltis calligaster occipitolineata.
I'd like to start over from the beginning
I'd like to try identifying my snake another way.

The 27-inch version of those shiny new iMacs won't be shipping to (most) customers until January of 2013, Apple revealed today. The machines have been available for preorder as of November 30, as Apple promised last month, but a definitive shipping date was still up in the air until Friday, when Apple's online store showed they would begin shipping after the holiday season is over. The 21.5-inch version, however, is already shipping.
When Apple began taking preorders for the new iMacs, the availability of the 27-inch version was already spotty. Apple originally said the machines would ship 2-3 weeks from the order date, and according to the Apple Store confirmation pages of a couple Ars staffers, their initial preorders of the 27-inch iMac are still expected to ship between December 21 and 28.
But those showing up today to place an order are greeted with a vague "January" projection, making some early buyers anxious that their orders might be pushed back to sometime in January as well. But Apple told us in November that the 27-inch iMac would indeed begin shipping in December, so if you're one of those who placed an order early on, it seems likely your order will still arrive within the Apple Store's projected time frame.
In the meantime, you can get your ultrathin Mac fix by reading our just-published review of the 21.5-inch iMac. Apple declined to comment on the 27-inch iMac's ship date.

U.S. EPA Honors San Francisco Bayview Hunters Point Graduates of Environmental Job Training Program
Release Date: 04/25/2014
Contact Information: Rusty Harris-Bishop, 415-972-3140, email@example.com
SAN FRANCISCO – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today recognizes 21 graduates from Hunters Point Family/Young Community Developers for completing EPA Brownfield's Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training (EWD/JT) program. An awards ceremony honoring the graduates will be held at the University of California San Francisco Mission Bay Campus at 11:00 a.m.
Funded in part by a $200,000 grant from EPA, students of the Hunters Point Family training program gained the certifications and expertise necessary to secure skilled "Green Jobs" in environmental cleanup and sustainable landscaping. Hunters Point Family also received funding from the San Francisco Department and Children, Youth, and Families and the Office of Workforce and Economic Development, as well as foundation and donor funding.
Students are unemployed or underemployed residents of the Bayview Hunters Point community who are interested in working on the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard site cleanup and native landscaping restoration projects for Pacific Gas & Electric and San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. This is the third of four groups of Hunters Point Family students funded by this EPA grant, and the first EWD/JT grant Hunters Point Family has received from EPA.

As thousands filled St. Peter's Square to celebrate the sign of white smoke and eagerly awaited the first appearance of their new pope, Natalie Ruiz was watching on television in her Middle Smithfield home, also anticipating.
As thousands filled St. Peter's Square to celebrate the sign of white smoke and eagerly awaited the first appearance of their new pope, Natalie Ruiz was watching on television in her Middle Smithfield home, also anticipating.
Upon hearing the announcement that the 266th pope was Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Argentinian native was in tears with delight and amazement.
She could hardly believe the news: The bishop who had confirmed her in the Catholic faith more than 20 years ago had just been elected the first pope from Latin America.
"I was so excited, I couldn't believe it," Ruiz said. "He confirmed me, my sister and my two brothers. I was also my brother's sponsor."
She and her husband, Raymond, and their four sons are parishioners at the Church of St. John in Marshalls Creek.
"For my confirmation, I was one of the shortest in my class," Ruiz added.
She recalled that even as he was made archbishop and later as cardinal, Bergoglio eschewed the more luxurious lifestyle and residence that was his due.
"He was the Bishop of Buenos Aires and he was from a local neighborhood," Ruiz said. "He kept living in his one-bedroom apartment neighborhood called Flores. Not fancy, but small, with a thin mattress for the bed and a little furnace. He took the public buses."
Ruiz was not surprised that Bergoglio, who took the name Francis in honor of the saint from Assisi who loved the poor, also has declined many extravagant trademarks of the papacy.
"When they wanted to give him the red cape, he said, 'No,'" she said.
"He also said 'No' to the big gold crucifix (choosing rather to continue wearing the wooden brown crucifix of his Jesuit habit), and the red shoes (keeping his old black ones)."
She expects that the new pope will constructively stir things up within the upper echelons of church hierarchy, based on his experience as cardinal.
"Argentina's really bad right now politically. There is no middle class any more. (The government has) taken everything from the middle class," Ruiz said. "The rich are richer and the poor are poorer. As cardinal, he fought with the president every day over this, (advocating) for the poor. I think it's gonna bring a lot of good to the (Catholic) church."
Bergoglio never aspired to be cardinal, let alone pope, Ruiz said.
She said it was known that, in the years following the previous conclave, in which he finished second to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict, Emeritus), Bergoglio even sought (and was denied) permission from Benedict to return to being a bishop or parish priest.
She said it was not because he no longer wanted to serve, but because he did not like the trappings of the position of cardinal.
Ruiz grew up in Recoleta, a neighborhood just 10 blocks from the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral.
She recalled that as a younger priest, Bergoglio was a beloved teacher in a LaSalle Catholic school for boys.
"I went to an all-girls Catholic school, and my brothers went to an all-boys school — everyone did," Ruiz said. "My friend Juan, his father was one of his (Bergoglio's) students, (as were) a lot of my neighbors. He was part of our lives."
In South America and many parts of the world, before a couple can be married in the Church, they must first be legally married in court.
Because Ruiz was also seeking citizenship in the U.S. 13 years ago, where her fianc�, Raymond Ruiz, lived, the Church in Argentina required the couple to first marry in the U.S.
To travel twice was too costly for the young couple, and Ruiz deeply desired to celebrate her wedding among family and friends in her home parish.
Her mother had the solution: go see Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio.
"He gave me his blessing and allowed me to marry in Buenos Aires if I promised I would get married by law once I got to the U.S.," Ruiz said. "My mother reminded me of this — I didn't remember. I think he's very conservative (upholding church teachings) and laid back in other ways. The church wouldn't let me get married in the church first; he did."
Ruiz said she'd heard on the Spanish channel that Pope Benedict Emeritus may have left some notes of well wishes and perhaps a little advice for the new pope, much like an exiting American president might.
"It's a lot, especially for somebody not used to all that glamour. It's easy to get used to being pampered," said Ruiz.
"Raymond (Ruiz's husband) said that's why he's always refused the luxuries, to not be tempted and to stay focused on his mission."
"I'm so proud. I'm so happy. I was talking with all my friends (in Argentina) on Facebook. We were all confirmed by him when he was the bishop, and we're all so happy to have him as our pope."

One of the most engaging aspects of our Presidents is the election process. Even with our current president in the middle of his term, there is still talk about the next election. The election process is a great way to engage students when talking about our governmental officials.
Now, there are several great online tools one can use when holding your own elections.
Google Forms is the feature in Docs that allows users to set up online quizzes, surveys, applications, and even voting ballots. Forms are easy to set up and share. Results are automatically recorded on a spreadsheet. Real-time results in attractive graphs can be shared quickly. The only issue is that Google Forms offers very few options when it comes to limiting the number of times participants vote. One can assign unique codes or usernames that are easy to monitor on the spreadsheet, but this doesn't allow for privacy. If your school has the Google Apps suite, ballots can be required to include a unique email address or user name.
Survey Monkey is another popular survey tool that allows for elections or polls. Using the email invites, you can avoid double-voting. Survey Monkey also has some advanced features for viewing and analyzing results. The best part is that like Google Forms, it's free!
While these are the two most popular survey sites that can also serve as voting tools, there are many other online tools out there for voting purposes. BallotBin is an easy-to-use and simple service to collect votes. eBallot takes ridding the world of paper ballots seriously as they provide top-notch security features, analysis tools, and even a paper-hybrid option. For an extensive list of online voting tools, check out Mashable's list of 40+ online polling tools.
Are there other tools or techniques for running online voting? How do you teach the election process to your students?

Houston — 2 Men Killed in Head-On Collision on Northwest Freeway
Posted on Sunday, March 8th, 2020 at 3:48 am by Williams Hart
At around 2:20 a.m. on Saturday, February 29, 2020, two men were killed in a head-on collision that occurred in Houston, Texas.
According to initial reports, a GMC Sierra pickup truck was traveling the wrong way in the northbound lanes of the Northwest Freeway when all of a sudden, the truck struck a white Toyota Corolla head-on. The impact of the collision caused both vehicles to roll over.
The driver of the Toyota was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the GMC was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The crash still remains under investigation.
It is unfortunate to hear of what happened to the victims in this accident. Alas, there are countless other victims who suffered the same fate. Car accidents like this are awfully common nowadays. In statistics provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), car accidents occur almost every minute of every day, and every 16 minutes, someone dies from a car accident. This can be translated to be about 6 million car accidents every year and about 37,000 people dying from them.
A specific kind of car accident that is incredibly deadly is a head-on collision. The reason why a head-on collision is said to be incredibly deadly is because of the increased force that is sustained by both vehicles. Reports estimate that head-on collisions only comprise 2% of reported crashes, but they account for over 10% of driving fatalities. Some of the common outcomes of a head-on collision are spinal injuries, brain injuries, catastrophic injuries, broken bones, paralysis, and of course death.
Car accidents, especially head-on collisions, are quite difficult for the victims and their respective families. Thankfully, there are lawyers that specialize in car accidents/head-on collisions, so if you are a victim of this kind of accident, or you know someone who is, or you lost a loved one because of this, then please never hesitate to ask for help from these lawyers. They will help you in protecting your rights and in getting you the justice that you deserve.

Industries Blanket Certificates
Under a blanket certificate issued pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, a natural gas company may undertake a restricted array of routine activities without the need to obtain a case-specific certificate for each individual project. The blanket certificate program provides an administratively efficient means to enable a company to construct, modify, acquire, operate, and abandon a limited set of natural gas facilities, and offer a limited set of services, provided each activity complies with constraints on costs and environmental impacts set forth in the Commission's regulations.
There are two types of blanket certificate projects.
- Automatic: For smaller scale blanket certificate projects, a company must notify potentially affected landowners of the planned project at least 45 days in advance, describing the planned project and how a landowner can contact the company. The notification must also include an explanation of the Commission's Landowner Helpline procedures and the Landowner Helpline phone number. The Commission and the public, other than the affected landowners, do not receive notification of planned projects that qualify under this type of blanket certificate authority. The project may proceed after the landowner notification requirement has been met.
- Prior Notice:
All other blanket certificate projects are subject to prior public notice, whereby a company, in addition to providing potentially affected landowners with advance notice, must also file a description of a planned project with the Commission. Notice of the planned project will be issued by the Commission and published in the Federal Register.
Within 60 days of publication in the Federal Register, any person may participate by intervening or by protesting a planned project. Once the 60-day period to protest expires, if no protest has been filed, the project may proceed. However, if a protest is filed by the public or by Commission staff, interested persons have 30 days to resolve the issues raised in the protest. If the issues are not resolved, and the protest is not withdrawn or dismissed, the planned project will not be authorized under the company's blanket certificate, but will instead be treated as if the proposed project were presented in an application for project-specific certificate authorization.

Once the power center of the world, the Eternal City shines and inspires anew if you take your time with it. (Just don't order cappuccino afternoon.)
Author Joe Keohane Photography Mark Read
DAY THREE | You rise early, walk over to the nearby Piazza del Popolo and take a seat at Canova (1), favored by the late Federico Fellini, the director responsible for making Rome cool again in 1960 with La Dolce Vita. You order cappuccino and another chocolate croissant. It's becoming a problem, but you'll need the caffeine and carbs for what's next.
You wisely arrive at the Vatican Museums (2) via taxi at 9 a.m. sharp, and when the doors open, you hustle in. This is key. If you hesitate, you'll be quickly swamped by tour groups so dense you won't be able to get past. The big attractions are at the very end, so you practically jog through the exhibits of lesser interest and beat the mobs to Rafael's rooms and the Sistine Chapel. Both of which, indeed, are breathtaking, almost overwhelming. You take it all in, then exit through the endless sequence of merchandise stands and gift shops.
The Vatican wore you out, so you make your way back to Popolo and mount the steps to Rome's central park, Villa Borghese (3), which is dotted with statuary and high enough above the rest of the city that it feels like a world apart. You head north across the park to the Galleria Borghese (4), the former mansion of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, favorite nephew of Pope Paul V, who used his clout to assemble an art collection that rivals that of the Vatican in quality, if not quantity. Of special interest is Bernini's sculpture of David, which is all slingshot and sinew and frankly makes Michelangelo's version look, well, a li le inert.
For dinner, you walk to Baby (5), the Michelin-starred restaurant helmed by world-renowned chef Alfonso Iaccarino, located just north of the park. You get a table looking out at the courtyard from the stark white dining room and order stir-fried spinach with a runny egg and crunchy pork cheek and an entrée of veal roll with buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes. The food, like the service, is top-notch.
You have one last stop to make: Monti, for a drink and a final stroll. Until fairly recently it was home to mostly craftsmen; recently it's been taken over by more well-heeled creative types, as evidenced by the many new design shops and cafés. You stop at the unpretentious Al Vino Al Vino (6) for a nightcap and some conversation. It's late, but just as you're ready to hail a cab back to the hotel, you walk out and look le down Via dei Serpenti, and there looms the Colosseum (7) in the distance. You walk 10 minutes down and take a seat on a wall across the street. This is how the Colosseum is meant to be seen: half-lit at night, in near-total silence. Like Rome, it's a living monument to both power and its loss, and like Rome it makes everything around it seem piddling—and yet it somehow does so in a way that strikes you as almost impossibly inspiring.
Are you doing a story on fashion in Rome for the March edition?
How do I buy a copy if I live in Rome?
Another question – Do you ever need video/films shot in Rome as I am a Rome based film maker who knows Rome and other parts of Italy very well.? I also speak fluent Italian
Many thanks

Why Avs would pick MacKinnon No. 1 over Jones in NHL draft
Avalanche executive Joe Sakic is a Hall of Fame center. With the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft, Sakic would prefer to pick a forward over a defensemen. Well, duh.
Yes, Avs fans had their hearts set on defenseman Seth Jones. But look at history of NHL draft, and you will begin to understand why Nathan MacKinnon, Jonathan Drouin or Alexander Barkov makes for sense for Colorado to take. Listen to Peter Burns of Mile High Sports Radio and I discuss the reasons behind the "surprising" decision here:
But what do you think? Is Sakic bluffing? Five years down the road, would the Avs regret passing on Jones?
Kick it with Kiz and Peter Burns by joining the discussion on Mile High Sports Radio Monday through Friday from 7-9 a.m. At 93.7 FM and 1510 AM.

Early last year I completed filming a new series for the National Geographic Channel. The fruits of that labour are starting to appear on TV screens around the globe. This series is not just about palaeontology…although dinosaurs are clearly an important theme. The series explores many new techniques in the earth, physical and biological sciences, from proteomics to particles physics, and from locomotion to geochemistry. The series would not have been possible without the support and collaboration of many scientists at the University of Manchester, but especially Roy Wogelius (SEAES), David Hodgetts (SEAES), Bill Sellers (FLS), Paul Mummery (Materials), Chris Martin (Materials), Phil Withers (Materials), Adam McMahon (Wolfson Molecular Imaging Centre), Terry Brown (MIB), Alan Crossman (FLS), Jon Codd (FLS), Mark Ferguson (FLS), Matthew Cobb (FLS), Lee Margetts (Research Computing Services) and the staff of the Manchester Museum.
The series will be transmitted in the UK from February 3rd (National Geographic Channel Wild), then in Canada, France, Russia, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Asia (distributed through Taiwan Nat Geo), Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany and South America National Geographic.
If you want to learn more about the series, click on the links below, as this will take you to the National Geographic Channel web pages for the UK launch of the Jurassic CSI series.
A large number of video clips have also been placed on the website:
My apologies for the lack of postings this past week, but research, teaching and writing have kept me more than busy. Tonight was a late night again, as Dr David B. Weishampel from John Hopkins University, came to Penn and gave a stunning talk on 'Transylvanian dwarf dinosaurs'...great title and even better lecture!
