My daughter — you remember her — recently chose her job for the summer after her first year of business school. She was so earnest and diligent about it; it makes a Dad proud.
Choosing a summer job is a huge event in the life of the student: This is, after all, the place where you're likely to work for at least the first several years of your professional career. A summer job is a big deal.
But consider how things look from the other side of the table: Yet another crop of summer kids appears at your firm for a fleeting moment and promptly vanishes, perhaps to return 15 months later when there's a chance one of them might help in a real way with some case. Or maybe they won't come back. Or be any good. Could you remind me again what city I'm flying to tonight, and what motion I'm arguing tomorrow?
Don't get me wrong: A fair number of lawyers pal around with the summer folks, because (1) those lawyers enjoy spending time with the newcomers, (2) it's important to the firm to recruit the summer class effectively, and (3) the firm has a budget for entertaining summer associates, and you might as well get your fair share of free lunches and drinks after work.
Eating lunch with a summer associate isn't a bad deal. But work with one of 'em? That's a very different story….

Hemos is Homeless
CmdrTaco posted about 15 years ago | from the no-I'm-not-making-this-up dept.216
So just as proof that life doens't stop when you go to a conference, Hemos got email this morning from nate informing him that his house burned down [?] last night. Now some rooms are missing and there is extensive smoke and water damage. Now the geek compound is 25% smaller. On the plus side, both Nate and hemos are safe and insured. Update: 10/16 11:05 by H : And to make matters worse, Chris DiBona threw my cell phone in a bucket of water. On accident. But it's pretty ironic.

What are the pros? so tasty
What are the cons? squash bugs love them
These are absolutely the best little squashes. Good productivity and though the squash bugs really like them, the fruit seems pretty resilient and resistant to real damage. We find these much sweeter and more productive than the Honey Boat Delicata, which are always just "meh" in comparison. Although the Honey Boats have a prettier, tan and green rind. But we don't grow those anymore because these really outshine them in every other aspect.

What are the pros? Easy, Tasty
What are the cons? None
Planted 2 seeds, super late in the year (Sometime in mid/late July, in a shady spot. I figured they would do nothing. To my surprise I got one fruit off of each vine before the powdery mildew from my other squash overtook them. They were the BEST squash I have ever tasted.

What are the pros? Prolific and tasty
This was my first time growing this squash and I wasn't even sure when they were ripe. But I had so many, and they looked like the pictures in the catalog, so even though it was only mid July, I picked a couple, sliced them in half, scoped out the seeds, wrapped them in foil and baked them. I put nothing on them so we could taste their true flavor, and they were terrific. We've since elated about 30 more and I've found my favorite way is to slice them in half moon shapes about an inch thick, put them on a clay baking sheet with a little olive oil and salt and caramelize them, skins and all. If you think you won't like them with the skins, try it anyway - I'll bet you'll change your mind. And lastly we have a huge problem with squash bugs. They decimated our pumpkins and even attacked our Greek red squash, but I never found a bug or egg cluster on the delicatas. Maybe the pumpkins just lured them all away, but they've done the best out of all our squash this year.

What are the pros? Easy to grow; prolific, taste
Don't worry about space as this is the perfect vertical plant. We used old baby crib sides (from a thrift store)for climbing and the squash loved it. Best part, the superb fruit is so easy to pick, no bending over! We set out five plants and have over 30 squash now ripening. Don't just bake them, be creative: breads, pancakes, pies.....the texture is so light and delicious; my personal favorite. Voted "Best likely to be planted next year." Winter storage will NOT be an issue.

What are the pros?
What are the cons?
Just a quick thought to share after seeing many comments regarding storing delicata... Delicata is not really meant to be stored, since it is so thin-skinned, in spite of being a "winter squash". That being said, it is now January and I still have delicatas I bought from the local farmers market early November doing just fine in a cold room in my house. In addition, do not feel you need to peel it when eating it (I've seen many recipes where folks say to peel it as if it's necessary). Like the person said about nuking it like a potato, you can choose to eat the skin if you'd like. I absolutely love this squash and am so glad someone recommended it to me!!

I am a huge Sabrina fan. This book was very good, but not quite as good as so many others. Maybe because it was in her first years but still very well worth reading.

text: Give up the day job, buy an old bike and ride off into the sunset - a dream for most but reality for the author as he takes on the Landmark Challenge set by the Triumph Owners Club. But first build the bike, make peace with the family, then just go - meeting life head on. Often hilarious, always interesting, this is a book which brings home the joys of classic motorcycling as Daisy, a 1948 Triumph Speed Twin puts in some 5,000 miles to win the Challenge - in spite of mechanical mayhem, fire, and just about everything else that can go wrong with an old bike. The author, armed with little more than a compass from a Christmas cracker, a dysfunctional map and a random selection of the wrong tools sets out to challenge life together with his young family. Great fun, just what classic motorcycling is all about and makes you itch to join him on the road! ""Strangely addictive...a must-have for any classic bike enthusiasts" Daily Express

Handling Rejection: Drugs, Treatment Boost Transplant Survival
March 1, 2000 (Boston) -- Like actors and writers, people who receive organ transplants learn to live with the possibility of rejection. But for kidney transplant recipients, the risk of organ rejection has significantly diminished since the 1980s with advances in medication and treatment, report authors of two studies published in the March 2 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.
In one study, researchers analyzed all kidney transplants performed in the U.S. between 1988 and 1996 -- nearly 94,000 of them -- and estimated the risk of rejection within the first year, and also at more than one year after transplantation.
In 1988 a drug called cyclosporine was still the new kid on the block. Cyclosporine helps give the body a chance to accept the new kidney by fighting inflammation brought on by the immune system's natural response to the foreign organ.
Back then, nearly 13% of kidneys received from a living donor were rejected and approximately 25% of kidneys from recently dead donors failed within one year. But by 1996, nearly 94% of all kidneys taken from live donors made it to their first transplant anniversary, as did 88% of those taken from dead donors. During this time, the average survival time of kidneys from living donors grew steadily from 12.7 years to 21.6 years, and kidneys from dead donors also enjoyed a near doubling in life-span -- from 7.9 to 13.8 years, reports Sundaram Hariharan, MD, and the other authors.
"This study has clearly documented that reduction in the rejection rate has not only had an impact on the one-year [kidney] survival [rate], but also an impact on long-term survival," says Hariharan, associate professor of medicine and nephrology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, in an interview with WebMD.
A second study added another favorable chapter to the continuing success story of transplant survival. In trials involving the drug daclizumab in 55 patients undergoing a first heart transplant, those who received the drug -- which helps fight inflammation by blocking a specific immune reaction -- had a significantly lower incidence of rejection than patients treated with general immune system suppressing drugs alone.
In addition, people who had received daclizumab were much more likely to have a functioning heart after the transplant procedure than the other patients were, report Ainat Beniaminovitz, MD, and colleagues at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York.
But new drugs alone can't account for improved transplant survival rates, says Charles B. Carpenter, MD, professor of medicine at Harvard University School of Medicine and senior physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, who wrote an editorial accompanying the studies. Carpenter points out that progressive increases in transplant survival over the last several years took place in the era of multiple drugs like cyclosporine and immune-suppressing steroids.

When Google launched its Nexus 10, and it happened to be produced by Samsung, not ASUS, it seemed up in the air whether or not ASUS was going to be out of the picture from that point forward. Well, thanks to a new FCC filing, we can see that ASUS remains safe and sound - it just appears that it's going to be specifically focusing on the Nexus 7.
As you'd expect, the Nexus 7 (2) features a bunch of upgrades that safely distances itself from the original. Perhaps most notable is the upgrade to a 1080p display, although the change in SoC is also significant - ASUS is making the move to Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 PRO. I can't help but wonder if this is due to NVIDIA's slow rollout of Tegra 4, and if so, that means the release date for this new Nexus 7 is very close.
The cameras have also seen a nice upgrade - 5MP in the back (up from 1.2MP), and 1.3MP at the front. Other features and additions include NFC, LTE, Wireless Qi Charging and 2GB of RAM. The battery this time around is a wee bit smaller, at 3950 mAh (from 4325 mAh), but the actual difference in battery life remains to be seen, given the SoC change and also the move to an LED display (from LCD).
Also interesting about this new Nexus 7 is the inclusion of Android's Jelly Bean 4.3 OS, likely making it the first device that will ship to bundle it. Chances remain likely that the device will be upgradable to Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie when it comes out this fall.
Wonder what the price will be?
Dogs are great judges of character, and if your dog doesn't like somebody being around, you shouldn't trust them.
I hope it's not much more than the current generation, or at least not more than $250. We get a lot of improvements here, but most people are not going to want to spend $300+ on a 7-inch tablet anymore. I still use my Nexus 7 multiple times daily, so this upgrade might be hard to resist.
I just put my Nexus 7 down to read this. Talked my mom into buying a Nexus 7 last week. She is 84 and wanted to try some new techo stuff.......................
I still have not found an office program I like, just found a file program I can us and like. I found a Seagate Wireless Plus STCK1000100 1TB Mobile Device Storage with Built-In Wi-Fi Streaming works great for all of the storage you could ever need in a table
Asus M4A79T deluxe,AMD Athlon II X4 620,SAPPHIRE R9 270X 4GB GDDR5 WITH BOOST & OC,Patriot Viper DDR3 1333 8gb,Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro,Diamond ATI TV Wonder HD 650 Comb,Plextor DVD-CD burner,Patriot PS-100 SSD 32gb ,WD 500gb 32mg,Antec Twelve Hundred Full Tower,Antec True Power Quattro 1000watts,Toshiba 40in 1080p for a monitor

Egypt Expects Quick Tourism Recovery after Attacks, but Could Lose Billions in Meantime
Nation's tourism minister faces challenges of decline of tourism following terror attacks at resort area
Some 30,000 Italian tourists were in Egypt at the time of the attacks, with 80 percent in Sharm, said the Italian Foreign Ministry. Travel operators estimated that another 9,000 Britons, 2,500 Germans and more from other European nations were in the resort at the time of the attacks.
In London, the Association of British Travel Agents sounded more upbeat, but spokeswoman Frances Tuke said some Britons have cut short their Egyptian holidays.
"Holiday companies are carrying on with tours to Sharm el-Sheik and to Egypt generally," Tuke said. "Tour operators are in contact with the Foreign Office and with the Egyptian tourist office people who have assured us that security is being stepped up in Sharm el-Sheik."
German travel operator TUI said about 250 of the company's 1,600 customers in Sharm and nearby areas had opted to return home. Another firm, Thomas Cook, said it was bringing 100 of its 813 German customers in the region back Sunday.
Several German firms are offering customers booked to travel to Egypt this summer the chance to switch to other destinations, but only a "very few" tourists in Egypt currently want to return, Klaus Laepple of the Association of German Travel Agents and Tour Operators told ZDF television.
"However, in the long term, we expect of course that this will have a substantial effect on tourism in Egypt," said Laepple.

Hack AT&T Voicemail With Android
kdawson posted more than 4 years ago | from the who-needs-social dept.242
An anonymous reader writes "It is shockingly easy to gain access to an AT&T customer's voicemail using caller ID spoofing techniques. What's worse is that AT&T knows about it. On your Android phone, download one of the two caller ID spoofing programs. Input the number of your target as the destination number and then enter the same number as the spoofed caller ID. Then connect your call. If the target has not added a voicemail password (the default is no password), you will be dropped into a random menu of their voicemail and eventually can drill up or down to get what you want. You can change greetings, erase messages, send voicemails out of the target account, and much more. How many politicians up in arms about Google Wi-Fi sniffing will want to know more about this?"

Are PC Gamers Too Good for Console Gamers?
Controller vs. mouse and keyboard? Not a fair match.
With gaming technologies so similar these days, as games use the same engine technologies, it would seem like a logical step for different platforms to be able to play with each other online. After all, Macs and PCs have been harmoniously getting along with each other online. So what about consoles?
Microsoft controls what goes on its Xbox 360 platform, so through its Games for Windows initiative, one would assume that Microsoft at one point must have contemplated getting its console gamers online with PC gamers. According to VoodooPC founder and HP CTO Rahul Sood, Microsoft tested it and then canned it.
Why? Because console gamers were no match for PC gamers.
"There was a project that got killed at Microsoft. This project was designed to allow console gamers and PC gamers to interact and battle over a connected environment," Sood wrote on his personal blog. "I've heard from reliable sources that during the development they brought together the best console gamers to play mediocre PC gamers at the same game... and guess what happened? They pitted console gamers with their 'console' controller, against PC gamers with their keyboard and mouse."
The results shouldn't be too surprising.
"The console players got destroyed every time," Sood added. "So much so that it would be embarrassing to the XBOX team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative. Is this why the project was killed Who knows, but I'd love to hear from anyone involved --- what happened?"
Sood then continued expressing his belief that cross platform play with the Xbox 360 would promoted the PC as a superior gaming platform, with a little nudge to developers to consider looking at making games for HP's newly acquired Palm webOS.

Wow all I can say is Xbox got owned
22excalibur1814 , July 23, 2010 12:11 PMIt's also down to how good the player is. I've had friends that spent 5 minutes looking up and then down while running around in a fps before now.
As it stands, I use both a 360 controller and Mouse+key combo on my pc. Mouse and keyboard cannot be beaten for fps. This has been talked about for the last 8+ years and this keeps going on and on.
But, as I first stated, if you're rubbish then no controller will help (But extreme auto aim might )
24tapnick , July 23, 2010 12:11 PMI dont think every game should be cross platform but it would fun for a few of them to at least have the option.
I'm pulling the biggest smuggest grin you ever did see after reading that.

If you have to ask... it's best if you just keep playing your console.
25rohitbaran , July 23, 2010 12:32 PMPC as well as PC gamers are better than consoles. So it seems.
1rohitbaran , July 23, 2010 12:32 PMOops! I meant consoles and console gamers.
16g00fysmiley , July 23, 2010 12:33 PMyea, i played a lan a few months back where a few guys were using xbox 360 ocntrolers on thier pc's cause "We're better at consoles than on pc's" ... it worked out about the same
i think it'd be great for xbox live to work with pc games though, could open up revenue for microsoft in mroe xbox live subscriptions and in turn it could result in less hacking in pc gaming durring online play; now i'm not sayign only allow it via live, just an option and merging players would make for some interesting chatter... you could tell the xbox users by the slew of F bombs and thier voices periodically cracking due to having just hit puberty... you could tell the pc gamers by looking at leaderboards
6domenic , July 23, 2010 12:35 PMYes, OK. PC gamers are better
25jsrudd , July 23, 2010 12:43 PMI think the point of this article is not that PC players are more skilled, but that the keyboard+plus mouse allows for greater control then dual analogue sticks. It should be "mouse + keyboard > console controller".
7lradunovic77 , July 23, 2010 12:44 PMI do have more fun playing on my PC connected to 27" LCD more fun then any other console player in this world will ever have...
6randomroger , July 23, 2010 12:48 PMBy it's very nature, the mouse will always win. The reason console games have aim assist (the "sandpaper" kind not the lock on kind), is because a thumbstick just can't do what a mouse can and it can be pretty hard to use without any help.
Also, I'm feeling this implied idea (from the post) that PC gamers are simply better. That would depend on the the INDIVIDUAL, not what they play on. Seems like food just to start a flame war in the comments. They are different things with different gameplay (even in the same multiplatform game).
If they really took the "best" console players and made them play "mediocre" PC players, if it was a NEW game none of them had ever played, the PC gamers could win by advantage, but if they were playing, say, Halo 2, I still think the console players would win because they'd just know what to do better (teamwork, tactics, yada yada). Aim is not everything.
Meh, you get the idea and no, I'm not a console fanboy. I don't like this brand of news.

Like a lot of people in Lancaster County I have been out of work for more than a year. We apply left and right for jobs. The majority of the jobs have to be applied for online. That's OK. I understand that. The problem is the potential employers.
For example, I applied at a local department store. I applied online just like they asked. After completing the application, I was asked to schedule an appointment, which I did. When I went for my appointment, the computer was down.
If you're an avid bicyclist, you're probably aware of the new law that state lawmakers passed in June – the Bicycle Safety Act. The law has won praise from cycle enthusiasts in the state, such as Charleston attorney Peter Wilborn of www.scbikelaw.com, who has called the new law "state of the art."
That's especially noteworthy because South Carolina isn't a state known for being a leader for the legislation it passes.
I have to admit since the first of July we've had some tragic news to report. A retired police officer was shot while trying to help accident victims. A Pageland man was sentenced to 30 years for the death of an epileptic man whose body was dumped in Heath Springs.
Then there was the shooting death of the owner of the Cedar Creek Bait and Tackle Shop. The shooter took refuge in his home and fired off some shots before taking his own life.
As a retired state employee, I was bewildered to read Mick Mulvaney's July 4 column "Trading short-term benefits for long-term security is wrong." I could not believe that he did not better understand how public pension plans work. They pay benefits out of the assets of the retirement system, not tax money, and they use the average of the good years and the not so good years in deciding how much to pay retirees.
We are going to repeat a few things we said very recently, but we think, thankfully, an ongoing issue has finally come to the correct conclusion.
We think the dual office ban in the state's Constitution is a good thing, but it has, sometimes, unfortunate implications.
It is no guideline or recommendation. It is actually not just a law. It is a provision of the state's constitution. The ban says no person can hold two offices "for honor and profit."
Cairnes made child's day by giving her a fishing rod
I would like to share this with the family of Ronnie Cairnes. My daughter, Alyssa, went fishing with my husband, Freddie, her sister, Adrien, and me on May 18. Alyssa caught a huge bream. We stopped by the Cedar Creek Bait & Tackle, showed it to Ronnie and asked if he could help up put a picture of her and her fish in a magazine. He said he couldn't. Instead Ronnie gave her a fishing rod – the first one she ever had. Alyssa loved it and it made her day.
Even in the toughest of times, there's always something to celebrate. And while these may not be the toughest of times (anyone who lived through the Great Depression or World War II would tell you those times were much tougher), these are certainly not the best of times.
The national economy has slowed, and gas prices are at historic highs, with some experts predicting the national average for unleaded regular gasoline will break the $5 mark this year.
This letter is addressed to the medical professionals doing business in the Lancaster area, but it should be of interest to other folks, as well.
In reading newspapers, watching TV and listening to AM radio lately, it has become apparent that many things are occurring in this city, state and country that should be of concern to everyone.

New Dinosaur 'Siats Meekerorum' Discovered In Utah
Unknown Lamer posted about a year ago | from the terrifying-birds dept.33
minty3 writes with word of the discovery of a new carnivorous dinosaur from a time when T-Rex's ancestors were the size of small dogs "Named Siats meekerorum, after the man-eating monster from the Ute tribal legend, the fossil belongs to a species of giant meat eaters known as carcharodontosaurs and is the second one discovered in North America. 'This thing is gigantic,' Lindsay Zanno, a paleontologist at North Carolina State University, who discovered the species, said. 'There's simply nothing even close in this ecosystem to the size of this animal that could've been interpreted as an apex predator.'"

Ok, just one more from that USGS Flickr page full of buggy beauty. Somebody got a little extreme with the pollen!
You, umm, you have something on your face. No, not there. There. You almost got it. Yeah, well, actually it's like, everywhere. You're a mess. An absolute mess.
Sheesh, the flower is Studio 54 and this little buzzer is to pollen what Rod Stewart was to nose candy. The first step is admitting you have a problem.
I know, the queen made you do it.
via thekidshouldseethis:
As honey bee populations decline (from pesticide and fungicide use, parasites, and a mix of other factors), scientists like entomologist Claudio Gratton are exploring the exciting idea of pollinating our plants and crops in an "alternative" way: native bees.
"There's a lot of other pollinators out there," explains Gratton. The 500 or 600 wild bee species that live in Wisconsin are only a fraction of the 4,000 native to the United States. But because they tend to be solitary, aren't easily managed, and don't produce honey, they've mostly flown under the radar.
In this video from KQED's QUEST, learn about these native bee populations and how we can support them by planting pollinator-friendly gardens and championing farms that pollinate with native bee habitats.
Related watching: It's Okay to Be Smart's How Bees See the Invisible, and the incredible Hidden Beauty of Pollination.
A solution to the honeybee problem I've never considered (and I'm willing to bet most of you haven't considered either): What about all the other wild native bees and other insect pollinators?
There's a lot of agriculture built around the good ol' honeybee, and we should certainly work to save them. But even if it's only as a backup plan, these other pollinators are worth studying. Glad someone's out there doing so.
Buzzing For Your Breakfast
If were to ask you what bees eat, what would you say? Honey?
That answer is only partly right. Yes, some bees eat honey (and then usually only in winter), but their menu is a little more varied than just that sticky goodness. Different "castes" of bees eat different mixtures of nectar, honey and pollen.
That's right, pollen. We all learned that bees help fertilize flowers by spreading the powdery stuff, but the protein-rich, vitamin-filled pollen might as well be called Yum Yum Dust to hungry bees. They eat it in several forms depending on whether they are workers, drones or future queens (those lucky gals get gorged for life on a special substance called royal jelly)
What's more, they've evolved some very interesting relationships with flowers in order to get at their favorite foods. Over at his column in The New York Times, Carl Zimmer writes about bumblebees, those chubby relatives of honey bees, and the way that they literally shake pollen from deep within their floral buffet:
In many cases, these flowers lure an animal with the reward of nectar. As the pollinator sips the plant's sugary liquid, it gets covered in pollen. It then travels to another flower in search of nectar and delivers the grains.
But 20,000 plant species — including familiar ones like tomatoes, potatoes and cranberries — strike a different deal. They offer pollen itself as food. These flowers don't simply put the protein-rich pollen out for any animal to eat, however. They keep it tucked deep inside special tubes.
It's an intricate dance, literally and figuratively, that sees the bee vibrating at forces approaching 30 G's! And the flower, not wanting to give up all of its fertilizing ability in one shake, tucks the pollen away in tubes. An inefficient system of biological cooperation that couldn't exist without either half of the handshake.
This isn't the only bee weirdness we've seen. You've seen my YouTube episode about how bees see flowers in ultraviolet and use electric fields to find and feed upon them, right? Plants and insects have had millions upon millions of years to work this whole thing out, many separate times, and we shouldn't confuse their lack of higher-level intelligence for an inability to do awesome stuff. Like bee dances. And bee headbutts.
And none of that even begins to touch on the awesomeness that is beehive engineering! Copious amounts of reading on those hexagonal masterpieces can be found here.
Anyway, so what about the rest of a bee's menu? What is the difference between nectar and honey, anyway? Nectar is a watery liquid filled with complex sugars that has the consistency of, well, water with a bit of sugar in it (so basically water). Enzymes in a bee's stomach begin to chop those complex chains of sugar molecules into simpler ones like dextrose and fructose.
They keep a bit in their stomach to power their engines, but regurgitate most of it to housekeeping bees, who then spew it into a honeycomb cell in the hive. The heat inside (95˚ F or so) and flapping wings make the water in the nectar evaporate, and the result is a solution of simple sugars with very little water.
Or, you know … honey. Each worker only makes about 1/12th of a teaspoon in her life, so feeding the whole family (and us) is really a team effort.

Getting your "buzz" on …
That's a bee on a coffee flower. Normally, that wouldn't be worth commenting about. It's just another bee getting a snack. Except that coffee flowers and a handful of other plants might use caffeine-laced nectar in order to draw bees back like Starbucks-addicts.
Plants produce chemicals like caffeine (along with nicotine, rubber, cocaine and a host of other chemicals) as self-defense mechanisms. If a bee mainlined the caffeine present in the normal plant tissues, it would be poisoned to death. But the low levels present in some nectar might be just enough to give it an addictive buzz and bring it back for more.
Read more about the researchers who are studying this at The New York Times. More bee/flower goodness on YouTube here.
Episode Extra: A Flower's Electric Field
In the "Electric Buzzaloo" episode I did on YouTube, I showed you not only how bees find flowers using UV vision, but also mentioned that they can sense a flower's electric field. What does that look like?
This image captures the slightly negative electric charge that most flowers carry since they're literally grounded. After being visited by one bee, it sheds some of that negative buzz to the positively-charged pollinator. If another bee comes along, it won't be attracted to the less charged (and less nectar-filled) flower.
This maximizes a bee's chances of visiting fresh flowers and not wasting their time at an empty well. Read more at Nature News.
A "RoboBee" and a synthetic insect eye reported in the same week? Sounds like a full-fledged man-made insect is just around the corner!
University of Illinois-UC researchers built a synthetic compound eye that, instead of focusing on the central field of view like our eyes, can discern depth and shape along its full scope. The resolution is only about that of a rather small ant, but there's hope it could one day include as many facets as a bee or dragonfly eye. That research is reported in Nature.
And in this week's Science, Harvard roboticists report the first controlled flight of a coin-size miniature aerial vehicle (MAV) based on the flight physics of insect wings. The construction is based on that used to make pop-up books, an odd advance in micro-building techniques that gave them the precision needed to get it off the ground. The wings aren't as flexible or functional as real insect wings, but it's the smallest piloted vehicle ever made. That research is reported in this week's Science.
Now we just need to extend that compound eye camera's sensitivity into the UV range, attach it to the RoboBee, and we'll finally be able to see flowers like we imagined in this YouTube episode of It's Okay To Be Smart (and maybe synthetically pollinate them!!)
I, for one, welcome our tiny, buzzing underlings.
Like A Bee Sees
By now you've probably all watched the latest It's Okay To Be Smart video about the amaaaaazing ways that bees are able to sense flowers. (actually I know a few of you haven't so go do that, mmkay? Thanks!)
Beyond the electric field sensing part (which is cool in its own right), it's the fact that bees see into the "invisible" that just blows my mind. Bees (and butterflies too, actually) have photoreceptors that respond to wavelengths down in the UV range (see chart above). They use that vision to zoom right in on the important part of the flower: the sweet, sugary nectar pot.
Spoiler alert: As much as we love flowers, they don't really give a crap about us. But they do love bees. In return for giving the bees the sugary yum-yums, flowers get pollinated. And in the name of the evolutionary game, that's the most important thing. To help get the gene-passing-on done, flowers have evolved certain pigments near the center of the flower that absorb UV light. That paints a big, fat bulls-eye for the bee to land on, right where the flower needs them (next to all the flower-sex bits). To us, the whole flower may look yellow or orange. To a bee. BIG "land here" spot in the middle.
THAT IS AMAZING!!! Nature, you are just too cool.
Thanks to camera technology, we can take UV filtered photos of flowers and see those patterns pop out. It's a pretty advanced technique, but some of my favorites are above. Check out those photographers' galleries at the links below:

Pollination 2: Electric Buzz-aloo
Biological senses are one of my favorite things to learn and think about. From your answers on this post, it sounds like many of you are just as fascinated with them as I am. Our reality consists only of what our five limited senses tell us about the world. We can build tools to convert what we can't sense into something that we can, but we'll always be limited by our basic set of tools. That's why it blows my mind to find out things like bees can sense electric fields when looking for flowers!
For half a century, it's been known that flowers have a negative charge and bees tend to have a positive charge. This is because flowers are "grounded" (literally) and bees build up a sort of static buzz while flying through the air. Why might that be beneficial to flowers? It helps all those pollen particles jump from flower to be to aid the pollination process!
Daniel Robert from the University of Bristol just recently teamed up with a physicist and a botanist to find out whether bees are actually sensing that electricity. They created several shapes of synthetic flowers that they could control the electrical charges of. Bees quickly learned to visit charged/sweet fake flowers over uncharged/bitter fake flowers. This matches what may happen in the wild, since after a bee visits a flower, it takes away not only its nectar, but also some of its zap! If you visit twice, you're wasting your bee time.
Bees are also able to see things about flower colors that are invisible to us, like using ultraviolet light to see a "bulls-eye" to guide them in:
Want more? Ed Yong has a great, detailed write-up of the electric bees at Phenomena.
Why house hunting can be so difficult, or how dancing honey bees exemplify one of nature's most interesting democracies. What if, in order to convince a few thousand of your friends how awesome something is, you had to dance around in circles hundreds of times? Your dance would have to be so good that they were uncontrollably compelled to dance too. That's sort of how bees do it.

Questions surround Manchester school resignation
Nicholas Moutsioulis, 33, coached girls' basketball and girls' soccer for three seasons at West until he was terminated half way through the fall 2011 soccer season. Then in January 2012, he was placed on paid leave from his four-year job as a special education teacher at Manchester Memorial High School.
He surrendered his teaching certificate on April 26, 2012, because of an allegation of inappropriate conduct with a student not enrolled at Memorial, said Judith Fillion, who oversees teacher credentialing in the state.
Moutsioulis surrendered his certificate under a provision in state rules that allows surrender with the knowledge that revocation is likely, Fillion said.
Moutsioulis quit his Memorial teaching job the following day, according to Superintendent Tom Brennan.
A telephone message left at Moutsioulis' last known address - his parents' Lucas Road home - was not returned.
Brennan would not give reasons for Moutsioulis' suspension and departure, citing confidentiality policies for school personnel. Nor would he discuss specifics of what steps, if any, school authorities took once they found out about the allegation.
He said school officials followed the proper procedures required when allegations arise involving teacher-student situations. But he would not say if police were notified.
"Our policy is if there's inappropriate behavior, we take steps we deem are appropriate," Brennan said.
Manchester police said they have no record of an arrest or investigation into Moutsioulis. Nor do police in Auburn, where he lived in 2012.
Two months after he quit his job, Moutsioulis' wife - herself a special education teacher at West - filed for divorce, accusing him of "an adulterous relationship with a minor over whom he was in a position of authority."
The divorce petition, which Moutsioulis denied in his official response, referred to the "criminal nature of the conduct" and offered to provide more details if Moutsioulis' lawyer demanded. None was ever asked for, and the divorce was eventually granted.
West High was not unfamiliar territory for Moutsioulis. His mother, Nikki Moutsioulis, taught business education there for 34 years, retiring in 2008.
In her final year there, she orchestrated a staff petition drive to have McGorry, at the time an interim principal at West, named the permanent principal.
Nicholas started working there as a paraprofessional in 2007. After landing a teaching job at Memorial the following year, he remained close to West, taking the junior varsity soccer and basketball coaching positions in 2008-09 and then moving up to the varsity positions the following year.
One parent praised Moutsioulis for his easygoing, light-hearted style, beneficial as the girls struggled through losing seasons.
"He had a very good personality and got the girls through a tough time," said Scott Weldon, whose daughter played on the West teams coached by Moutsioulis. He did not know about the allegations until contacted by a reporter.
Weldon said he knew that Moutsioulis resigned. He had heard that Moutsioulis gave some of his players a ride to a West football game, and some parents believed that was inappropriate.
"It seemed it was as innocuous as that," said Weldon, who added that his daughter did not socialize with the team often.
Brennan would not say whether the allegations against Moutsioulis had anything to do with the investigation that led to McGorry's own resignation in January.
"There's all kind of conspiracy theories out there," Brennan said.
"I wouldn't even begin to respond to that," said McGorry's lawyer, Andru Volinsky, to suggestions that McGorry may have shielded Moutsioulis. "MaryEllen's a principal. She's not the administrator of the school district."

This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
The name Sabrina Blond conjures up, so to speak, certain thoughts of a famous nubile witch. While you won't see that babe either in her toon or live-action incarnation here, what you do get is something pretty magical: A fresh-faced blonde babe who has no limits when it comes to sex!
When I say that this gal is up for anything, I mean it. In her few years, this chick has racked up sexual adventures others couldn't manage in decades. In just the first few videos on SabrinaBlond, she takes dick from a hung black dude, she gets DPed, she has a threesome and she gets anally pounded by the pool. I hope she still manages to find time to feed her growing body.
The site has 32 videos to offer you. That's almost identical to our last visit, but there has been new material added. Instead, it looks like a bunch of the smaller-quality files were taken down. The same can probably be said for the photo galleries, because while it looks like nine new sets have been added, they total one less than they did before.Those movies come in full-length Windows Media and MP4 formats that provide HD playback. If you really can't handle waiting for the bewitching Sabrina to appear, clips are also available, along with a variant MP4 file meantyou're your mobiles.
My favorite bit of smut has to be that interracial scene I mentioned. This chick knows the trick for picking people up - bring along a cute dog! A bulldog is Sabrina's co-star and she uses him to entice a handsome tourist brother off the streets of Prague and into her pants. I'm not sure where the pup ends up, but I hope he got an extra treat for services rendered. The facial Sabrina gets is so big, she should perhaps give him two!
There are 41 photo sets to round out the collection. They generally follow the action you'll get in the videos and come with high-res shots. I could have really used a Zip file though, because with between 80 and 200 pics in each set, downloading them shot by shot is quite a piece of work. It's still worth the time, though, because they're all high-res images.
Since this blonde cutie's Czech, I'm guessing she's not so fluent in English, which might explain the lack of a personal journal. There is a blog, but it mostly documents her updates, which are undated. You also get access to four bonus sites: Little Caprice, Kiki 18, Maggie Loves Dolls and Kaira 18.
When it comes to the content, Sabrina really knows how to give you the works. If Sabrina Blond has you under her spell, you'll probably enjoy the porn, but you might wish she was as revealing with her personal life as she is with her body.

With the 20th pick in the NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select…
Ryan Shazier, LB, Ohio State
Selection made by Scott Allen, Raising Zona
Here is the analysis on the selection:
There are a number of ways the Cards could go here at 20, however one of the areas of need is at linebacker. Shazier has explosiveness and good field vision. Combine that with great character and I like Shazier to go to the Cards at a position that had a revolving door in 2013 thanks to injuries. Shazier will add depth and should make an immediate impact to the team.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is one of the best players in the game, and he's also one of the most emotional players in the game. His emotion sometimes gets confused with immaturity or anger, and it's a shame that some of us have to exaggerate things when it comes to Bryant. He does make stupid makes and has a checkered past as a diva receiver, but he's made huge strides as far as maturity goes ever since coming into the league. In my mind, no receiver has made bigger strides mentally than Bryant, and it's time we start abandoning some of the old stigmas when talking about Bryant.
Those old stigmas resurfaced after yesterday's upsetting 37-36 blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers, and enough has been said about that result, particularly when it comes to playing the blame-game. What needs to be cleared, though, are Bryant's actions following the game. He's been criticized by some people for leaving the game before its conclusion, and some mistook what he did as a sign of being a sore loser or whatever. Yeah, let's all jump to conclusions.
According to ESPN Dallas's Tim MacMahon, Dez Bryant actually left the field early following yesterday's loss since he was crying after such an emotionally-upsetting loss in a critical game. Here's what Bryant said, "It didn't have anything to do with my teammates. I just … I couldn't watch Green Bay kneel the ball down on the field after a tough loss like that.
"I was very emotional. I cried when I got into the locker room. I didn't want to show that stuff on the sideline."
People will criticize Bryant and say that he needs to do a better job of controlling his emotions, but I'm totally cool with his decision to leave the game. In honestly, he did it out of respect, because he didn't want others to have to see him crying, and he also wanted to take care of his emotions privately. Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said that he will talk to Bryant and spoke about how emotional Bryant is, but I don't see a problem at all. And to be honest, I think Bryant's emotions are great, because they shape him as a person and probably help him as a football player. He's done a better job of reigning in his anger etc., but I don't see an issue with letting his sadness take over. It was an emotional loss for the Cowboys, and I think we need to show Bryant some respect.
By the way, do you know where Bryant was when he delivered that quote? At Cook Children's Medical Center.

text: I told you I'd post something different.This is Harry Partch, who's pretty cool. He built his own instruments and used his own scales for his music, which, more than anybody, makes him a pioneer in the field of music. He was inspired by speech, and felt that traditional tuning wasn't adequate to express the nuances of speech, so he made his own scales with microtones. His most common scale was a 43-tone scale. This is not in that scale; this is his Two Studies on Ancient Greek scales.

Daily in Your Presence - Aug. 10
Day 223
For you were like sheep going astray,
but now you have returned to
the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
My child, look around you. Everywhere you go, I have provided green pastures for your food and restoration. I've outlined your boundaries and enclosed you all about with My love. At the entrance I've placed My gate, so that no one can touch you without first dealing with Me. I am your Shepherd and the Overseer of your soul. No wolf in sheep's clothing can destroy you. You are safe in My presence. Happy grazing!
Lord, I can never stray farther than Your arms can reach. You are the Overseer of my soul, standing guard and keeping watch like a Shepherd over His sheep. You know the number of Your flock, and You call each of us by name. Why would I want to leave Your lush pastures? How precious You are, Lord.
Our Overseer sees over us, around us, behind us, and through us—and loves us anyway./blockquote>

Alchemy in France: Roquefort's Legendary Tradition
I finally made a trip I've long wanted to do, a sort of four day pilgrimage really, to a special town in the department of Aveyron.
It's not a big town, indeed it looks like many others in rural Southern France, but the name is instantly recognised all over the world. My first impression was of vibrant, flower bedecked streets. Buildings are painted in an array of stunning colours and there is a feeling of prosperity in the air as the proud citizens go about their business.
Meanwhile, deep underground, in shadowy caves where the sun's rays never reach, where the air is damp, mouldy and humid, something akin to a miracle is taking place.
Some caves are enormous, with corridors you can walk through, others are smaller but share the same advantage; the curious cool air that blows through the cracks, pits and corridors, creating a perfect atmosphere. Down here, far away from light, in a temperature that stays at ten degrees and with ninety-five percent humidity, alchemy is at work.
This is no ordinary town; we are in Roquefort, where under the very streets, thanks to nature providing this unique, moist, cool microclimate, one of the world's favourite foods, the one they call the King of Cheeses, is slowly maturing.
Nobody can really say when Roquefort was first discovered, but locals tell of the legend of the young shepherd, who, on seeing a beautiful girl, left his lunch of bread and cheese in a cave and followed her. On his return he found the bread too mouldy to eat, but the cheese, which had turned blue, was delicious. This story is thought to be from the days when the Neolithic shepherds drove their flocks right up from the plains of the Mediterranean coast to the rich meadows of this part of France, four thousand years ago.
So loved is this fabulous cheese that Louis 14th decreed it should be protected forever. Further protected, that is, since a French crown patent had already protected Roquefort in 1411. The King was by no means the first foodie to pass this way. When the Romans built the Via Domitia, linking the Pyrenees with Italy, the route passed not so far from Roquefort. The precious cheese would be sent over to the coast and then by sea down to Rome, where wealthy aristocrats paid high prices for it.

Welcome to the District of Rhode Island
Thank you for visiting the United States Attorney's "Virtual" Office for the District of Rhode Island. We have come a long way since 1789, when the Office was first established! We hope that you find our website both informative and helpful. Here you can find out more about who we are, the kind of work that we do on behalf of the citizens of Rhode Island, and how we are organized to complete that work. You can also find information about United States Department of Justice initiatives, answers to frequently asked questions, and links to other law enforcement related information.
As a native of this small but great State, I am honored to serve as the United States Attorney for the District of Rhode Island. The kinds of cases we handle vary widely, but the ultimate goal is the same in all: to do justice.
