Do you have a burning question to put to the ScienceBlogs bloggers?
Perhaps it's ethical – should companies be able to patent specific genes? Should primates have the same rights in laboratory settings as humans?
Maybe it's silly – would you rather pet a dinosaur, or shake hands with a Neanderthal?
Or maybe you're just looking for simple facts – what is the Higgs Boson and why do physicists want to find it? How much salt is in your fast food order?
Whatever you've wondered, now is your chance to ask. ScienceBlogs is reinstating our former Ask a ScienceBlogger series, in which (you guessed it), you get to ask ScienceBloggers questions, and they answer them!
Once we have a database of questions, we'll choose one a time to pose to our ScienceBloggers, and round up the answers for you here. They can be about anything you want, but of course the more interesting we find them, the more likely we are to choose them. 😉
Go ahead and post your question as a comment here, or email it to email@example.com. And look for the first question soon!

I'm 2 weeks post op. Dark blood's been coming out of my incision site on right breast since yesterday. My PS's nurse told me it's just old blood from bruising, which developed at 10 days post op (didn't have any before, PS said it's prob cuz I did something at school). Today the bleeding was often. I went through 5-6 adhesive pads. The dark blood was coming out continuously for a bit . I did notice the bruising around incision site has lightened. But the excessive bleeding worries me. Am I ok?
2 Weeks After Breast Augmentation, a Lot of Blood Leaking from Incision Site, Should I be Worried?
Doctor Answers 11
Bleeding after breast augmentation
I agree with the other surgeons in this post who recommend seeing your plastic surgeon. Just as the blood is coming out of a wound, bacteria can be going through and into the wound. Low-grade infections after hematoma and drainage can lead to chronic capsular contracture. Evacuating the hematoma, washing out the pocket and the implant, stopping any continued bleeding and replacing your implant now may be necessary.

Bloody drainage after augmentation is sign of a hematoma
The dark bloody drainage coming through your incision line is very worrisome and could represent a hematoma or collection of blood around the implant. Further problems such as infection and capsular contracture could be in store so you should see your surgeon right away.

Bleeding after Breast Augmentation
Yes, you should be worried. This "old blood" may represent a Hematoma (a free collecrtion of blood in the pocket surrounding the implant). Left untreated, a hematoma may not be absorbed completely and increases your risk of developing a capsular contracture. Get back with your surgeon because if you have a hematoma it should be surgically drained.

Drainage after Breast Augmentation?
Thank you for the question.
You are wise to be concerned about significant drainage. I would suggest continued close follow-up with your plastic surgeon. Keep the area covered with sterile dressings.
Best wishes.

Response to
re metal box
The metal shooting kit is, if memory serves, the 150 PK. The 150SK is the one in the large box with a target holder and shooting games book.
The 40% valuation in the Blue Book is probably from me. It's been my experience that the metal shooting box certainly has value but not that much. It's really only of interest to hardcore Crosman collectors. Otherwise, nobody really wants one. So, when a collector finds a nice one, they usually aren't looking for another one. The exception being the Montgomery Wards version which is a bronze color on the outside. The Wards version is a good deal rarer than the silver one. But, even then I wouldn't add much more than 40% again to a Wards version 150 complete with the Wards PK box.
As I recall, there are at least two versions of the Crosman silver PK box. The earlier version has a large paper label that usually gets trashed over time. The later version has a small metallic label that usually stays in pretty good shape. I would think that a pristine example of the early paper label version would carry a premium.
My view on the value of Crosman items, which is largely reflected in the pricing of the Blue Book, is that there are two considerations: One is rarity and the other is desirability as a shooter. It's really only when both factors are there that a Crosman model value starts to go up. This is best seen in the pricing of the different models of the model 160. The early versions are valued less than the third model, because it's the third model that is so desirable to shooters today.

Ahmad Izz furious with Enas Al Dughaidi
Rising Egyptian actor Ahmad Izz has expressed his extreme anger at controversial director Enas Al Dughaidi for not mentioning his name in the script of film "Al Bahithat An Al Hurieh" (Seekers of Freedom) as guest of honor only. Ahmad stressed that Enas had taken advantage of his guest appearance and kept making public announcements that he is one of the leading actors in the film to gain more success.
According to the Egyptian based weekly, Al Nogoom, Ahmad added that he only agreed to make a guest appearance on the film as a kind gesture to Enas, who had given him his first push into the acting world when he starred in her film "Muthakarat Murahiqa" (Adolescence Memoirs).
Ahmad fears that Enas's actions will negatively influence the success expected and hoped for his new film "Malaki Iskindaria", which is scheduled for screening during the Muslim holiday Eid Al Adha. The film will mark Ahmad's first leading role in the cinema and he is hoping to meet the expectations of audiences throughout the Arab world.

Why not make Breaking Dawn more of a epic feature that has a longer running time. How hard is it to get a marriage, honeymoon, pregnancy, the background with Jacob & Charlie and then the battle scene into one movie, correct me if I missed any other key points in BD.

The unexpected race to replace the late Senator Paul Coverdell has become a contest between two of the best-known names from Georgia's political past, both of whom are nearing 70 years old.
Late Wednesday, former Senator Mack Mattingly became the leading Republican in the race after Lewis Jordan, an airline executive, announced that he would not run. Mr. Mattingly, 69, will face former Gov. Zell Miller, 68, a Democrat who was recently appointed to fill Mr. Coverdell's seat until the Nov. 7 election.
Mr. Coverdell, 61, a Republican, died of a brain hemorrhage on July 18. Gov. Roy Barnes persuaded Mr. Miller to assume the seat last week, hoping that Mr. Miller's lingering popularity with voters would keep lesser-known Republicans from entering the race.
The strategy worked -- a large group of the state's Republican congressmen spent 10 days wrestling with the risk of giving up safe seats to challenge Mr. Miller, and none decided to make the race. Party leaders turned to Mr. Mattingly, hoping his name recognition would help raise money quickly to compete against Mr. Miller's head start.
But Mr. Mattingly, who served one term in the Senate before being defeated in 1986, was never as popular in the state as Mr. Miller. National Republican leaders urged the state party to hold out for a younger, more forceful candidate, which led to Mr. Jordan's brief interest.Continue reading the main story
Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said earlier this week that Mr. Jordan was the stronger candidate because he was willing to spend $3 million on the race. In a television interview, he said Mr. Mattingly could not win, and would not get any financial help from the national party.
Mr. Jordan, 56, was the founder of ValuJet Airlines, which later changed its name to AirTran Airways. He has spent the week in Philadelphia at the Republican National Convention, hoping to win over Georgia's delegation. But given Mr. Mattingly's firm decision to run, Mr. Jordan was eventually convinced that having two Republicans on the ballot would increase Mr. Miller's chances of winning.
Mr. Mattingly said in an interview today that he was persuaded to run by Republicans around the state who said Mr. Coverdell should have a conservative successor. He acknowledged, however, that raising money and getting the national party to lend its support may be difficult because of the unplanned nature of the race.
''This is a 50-yard dash, a three-month race, but you manage with the cards that have been dealt,'' he said.
The special election is technically nonpartisan, with no party affiliations listed on the ballot. Three other lesser-known candidates have also entered the race, and if no one gets more than half the vote, there will be a runoff between the top two candidates on Nov. 28.
Mr. Mattingly, a member of the party's conservative wing, ran a lackluster re-election campaign in 1986, for which he apologized six years later in a letter to supporters. ''I am not a good politician,'' he said in the letter, written when he was briefly considering another run for the Senate.
He decided not to run for the Senate that year, saying he did not feel committed to the race, and has otherwise kept a low political profile. In 1987, he was named NATO's assistant secretary general for defense support, and in 1992 President George Bush appointed him to be ambassador to the Republic of Seychelles. Last summer, he became a paid lobbyist for the defense contractor Lockheed Martin, urging former colleagues in the Senate to help preserve the company's $65 billion F-22 stealth fighter.
Chuck Clay, the chairman of the state Republican Party, said he was relieved that the party had settled on a single candidate, but made it clear he was aware of the difficult road ahead for Mr. Mattingly.
''Hey, there ain't no perfect candidate, but at least we're all behind one candidate now,'' Mr. Clay said.Continue reading the main story

Go check out Pike's post for today, where she manages to record Waer (Tawyn's raptor pet) as he muddles his way through Naxxramas.
I'll have to do a better job listening to what Russ, Ishura, Arsaelan, and Talia are actually thinking, especially while we're leveling!

Typically, I stride into yoga class looking horribly under-dressed. Most participants get decked out in matching yoga pants and tops and look fantastic to participate in this popular class at the gym. I'm lucky if I show up wearing matching socks. I consider myself a runner who likes to do yoga, so I own a large supply of running tights and sports bras, but am sorely lacking in the yoga wear department. I usually wear running attire with a baggy t-shirt on top to yoga class. I am not the typical, taut yoga enthusiast like many who regularly attend these sessions.
All of this changed the day I wore the New Balance Aneka Yoga Wear to class. I sported the black Twisted Racerback Bra Top and matching Flare Capri Yoga Pants and I fit right in! I wasn't the out-of-place runner in a room full of stretched-tight fabrics. I bent and posed along with everyone else and I looked like everyone else, too.
Of course you get out of a class what you put into it, and what I wore wasn't going to instantly turn me into a yoga master. However, when I performed certain twists and poses, my shirt didn't bunch around my waist or ride up and flop me in the face as it usually would. Sure, my stomach showed a bit when I moved, but so was everyone else's. I liked what I saw in the mirror and it felt good during the class.
The Aneka yoga wear even felt good after class. Usually, my clothes are stained with sweat from the strenuous workout. I worked just as hard, but thanks to the "moisture management fabric", my clothing didn't show the signs of my efforts. I didn't feel like I had to rush to the showers due to my sweat sticking to me and my clothing. This was a welcome change!
When I first saw the twist of the fabric in the top, I thought it might feel strange or pull in an unattractive way. I put the top on and didn't notice any difference except that the twist in the back added a bit of unexpected style. I especially like the flattering tight, supportive top, with the slightly flared, non-fitting bottom of the shirt. The clothing is so comfortable I might just sport it when I'm not on my way to class. Who needs to know, right?
As I mentioned earlier in the post, I'm a runner, so putting on the soft, comfortable yoga clothes was a new experience for me. Putting on the New Balance 1400 Race Day Road Flat running shoes, I didn't expect to be as wowed as I was with the clothing. I'd worn New Balance since my cross-country team days in high school. I know running shoes.
I was wrong.
These were not like the running shoes of my youth, or even like the ones I'm running in currently. These running shoes were so light I almost threw them over my shoulder as I took them out of the box! Of course I'd seen shoes like this in stores, but hadn't ever tried them on. I figured I'd run in a certain style all these years, why would I need to switch now? Also, I have a bad knee (all the way back from elementary school) and knew the kind of support I needed.
I didn't want to risk buying a type of shoe that might not work for me, and even possibly risk injury for myself.
I took the New Balance shoes out for a short run to try them out. I know my knee well enough to know when a shoe is giving me trouble. I felt like I was running in my bedroom slippers, these shoes were so light! I kept my run short that first day, but wanted to run more.
My knee didn't show any signs of problems the next day so I went on a longer run and the shoes felt fantastic. Where have these "lightweights" been all my life?!? I'm committed to a half-marathon coming up in April. I know these shoes will make a difference in my fatigue level. Any difference in weight makes a difference over thirteen miles! These shoes will be perfect for race day and the distance training I'll put myself through in the coming months.
If you are looking to recharge your New Year's vows to getting fit, or are just looking for a new way to feel the love of a good workout, these New Balance Aneka yoga clothes and 1400 Lightweight running shoes are just what you want.

About Me
I'm a professional photographer who is organizing a series based on the beauty of Vancouver Island BC. My work typically looks to merge the beauty of nature with that of the female form. I like to reflect my landscapes with models who can physically embrace the elemental face of the world around us.
I only work with models who are from the locations I shoot, and I only work with models who are comfortable and professional on the site. That said, I compensate well for good work. I try to also provide costume and set from local fashion. My work is a reflection of its surroundings completely, so someone with an ability to embrace and assist this process is crucial.
Nudity is not necessary, but it is an asset.
I prefer to work through agencies, but in the end the best look will always win out.
Please contact me through here or at email@example.com for applications. I require a bio (including age weight measurements and clothing sizes) only a brief description of your personality, your experience your location and place of birth, at least one full size picture with a full face display if not a full professional portfolio, and your agency if it is relevant. Please also let me know if you are comfortable with hair modification for the shoot.
Model references and further portfolio available upon request.

Toronto Film Festival Coverage International Videos Indie News Weird News Superhero Movies How ScreenAnarchy Works
Jimmy (Hiroshi Watanabe) is 40, divorced, and shares a bunk bed with his 10-year-old nephew. For most men, this state of affairs would be ego-crushing, but Jimmy is strangely unperturbed. Despite an utter lack of social finesse, he embarks on an enthusiastic mission to replace his ex-wife with someone better. Things go horribly wrong when he falls head-over-heels for a younger relative (Lynn Chen) and vows to steal her away from his co-worker Tim (James Kyson Lee). Also starring Nae, Mio Takada, Joy Osmanski, Cathy Shim and newcomer Justin Kwong.
New from the team behind Big Dreams, Little Tokyo, romantic comedy White On Rice is just beginning to turn heads on the festival circuit, and for good reason. With a killer cast - Watanabe was featured in Letters From Iwo Jima, Mio Takada is a regular on Conan O'Brien, Nae has won the Japanese equivalent of an Academy Award, James Kyson Lee is well familiar from his stint on Heroes and unless my eyes deceive me there's a regular from Rescue Me in there as well - director Dave Boyle really nails a quietly absurd comedy style that makes this thing work like a charm.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Berlin, Germany, 2014/09/01 - Copertura Label, the new innovative fashion brand is launching the pre-orders for its Winter 2014 collection named Cold Quest - CoperturaLabel.com.
Wearable technology and fashion design are the key words of the Cold Quest collection and the heating jacket embodies this concept.
As you know Winter is coming! We are already preparing this time, says Ivers Copertura Label founder and CEO. Indeed the Cold Quest collection has been designed to fulfil the desires of outdoor activities fans, Winter sports lovers and everyone who is living in a cold location. They would like to feel warm outside by cold and snowing weather.
Technology brought into fashion
For that the new fashion brand is bringing on the market a fashionable heating jacket. It is combining fashionable designs with a technological system already successfully used by outdoor professionals in only one product. The heating jacket owns a rechargeable battery in one of its pocket. As soon as you press the ON button the heating process starts. You need 2 to 5 minutes to reach the optimum temperature, which is adjustable. The jacket can be used in outside temperatures between -60 degrees Celsius to +45 degrees Celsius and it keeps you warm up to 6 hours.
Copertura Label is realising the jackets of the Cold Quest collection with the same technological heating system incorporated in professional heating jackets. Therefore this functionality brought into fashion is a safe innovation. However you need to wear your heating jacket with caution: wear at least a T-shirt under it and do not be close to fire or other heating sources.
Winter 2014 collection dedicated to heating jackets
The collection counts different models and sizes suitable for women and men. Every jacket is named from a mountain or a cold place. Copertura Label customises companies heating jackets with logo or brand name as well.
An Unusual launching in the fashion industry
This fashion brand doesn't follow the usual fashion way of doing. The Cold Quest collection is only launched online. From Thursday, 21st August to Tuesday, 30th September 2014 the heating jacket is available there, starting with the Berlin model. This campaign represents the emergence of an innovative and unconventional fashion brand.

Redknapp lines up Keane deal
QPR manager Harry Redknapp is ready to patch up his differences with Robbie Keane and offer the Republic of Ireland captain a temporary return to the Premier League next month.
Redknapp fell out with Keane during their days together at Tottenham when the Dubliner arranged a Christmas party in his home town for his team-mates back in 2009 despite being warned against the plan by his manager, yet the new Loftus Road chief has suggested the LA Galaxy striker could be on his radar for a loan move in January.
"Robbie's a good shout, he probably would be an interesting player," said Redknapp of the striker who won a second MLS title with Galaxy last weekend.
"I haven't spoken to him yet, but he would be an interesting player. He's a good pro and he would be the ideal type to have around for sure because he would give us something."
Redknapp has insisted he has no problems with the striker despite a fall-out that saw the Irishman fall rapidly down his pecking order at White Hart Lane, with the duo briefly reunited as Keane trained with Spurs prior to his loan move from LA Galaxy to Aston Villa last January.
If Keane is to link-up with Redknapp again, he will be relieved to have missed the Christmas party season, as the QPR chief has confirmed he has banned his new players from toasting Christmas in the traditional manner with a team party.

Renewable Natural Gas: Turning Waste into Energy [Infographic]
When I first saw the phrase "renewable natural gas" over at Sustainable America's site, I thought "Hmmmm…. someone's hired a PR firm." OK, I suppose that fossil fuels are technically renewable… as long as you don't mind waiting a few million years for that renewal. For those of us on a more human time frame, the methane and other gases emitted from decomposing organic matter work just as well as the stuff you have to frack out of the ground… and, as you can see in the infographic below, create all sorts of opportunities to deal with wastes more efficiently, and to even create a few jobs.
Yep, we've discussed renewable natural gas before: it's often known as landfill gas or biogas, or associated with with anaerobic digesters (a technology that extracts and collects biogas from organic wastes). It's not the sexiest form of clean energy out there – in fact, it smells pretty bad – but its readily available, abundant, and gives us an opportunity to deal with one source of human contributions to global climate change. Not bad for stuff you're probably throwing in the trash.
Spend some time with the infographic, as well as the blog post over at Sustainable America, and then let us know what you think. Is this a viable, scalable form of energy generation? Could we get people to install methane digesters in their backyards? And, does "renewable natural gas" still make you feel a little icky even though you know it's not some mislabeling by the fracking crowd? Share your thoughts with us…

Financial Assistance: Myths Debunked, Assistance Offered
College Goal Maryland, a free event for everyone interested in getting answers and assistance with the financial aid process will be held at Garrett College on Thursday, Feb 7, 6-9 p.m. In addition to getting help in filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid(FAFSA), participants may enter to win a $500 College Goal Scholarship. The FAFSA also qualifies students for the many Maryland State Scholarships. Maryland requires a processing date of March 1st for the FAFSA.
Finding the funding for a college education is the often first hurdle of earning the degree or certificate that the student is striving for. Financial Aid is available for a majority of the students who apply, according to Cissy VanSickle, Director of Financial Aid at Garrett College.
"Many people don't know how the financial aid process works. This is understandable. It can be complicated," she said, adding that financial aid counselors attend regular training sessions so they can be equipped to help applicants get the greatest amount possible to defray college expenses and to dispel some of the widespread myths about financial aid.
Listed below are several of the most commonly held misconceptions about financial aid:
Myth: Financial aid is only for people with very low incomes. My family's income is too high.
Fact: The only way to determine qualification is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The formula used by the federal government to figure the amount a family is expected to contribute to a child's college costs considers a number of factors including income, number of college-age children, age of the parents and the number of persons being supported by the household. Costs above that contribution can be covered by financial aid or low-interest government or private loans. There are some loans that may be used to cover the cost of the family contribution. Most schools will not consider applicants for college grants and scholarships if they have not applied for federal aid by filling out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
Myth: My high school grades aren't good enough to qualify for aid.
Fact: Most federal and state aid is based on financial need, not grades. Most programs will require that the student maintain an average grade point average to keep the aid. Many private scholarships and merit aid offers, grades don't count as much as one may think. Many use other criteria: financial need, leadership, residence, major, and heritage.
Myth: I won't be eligible for financial aid because I'm only going to college part-time.
Fact: Financial aid is available for part-time students. Prospective students may check with the college's financial aid office for information on aid for part-time students.
Myth: Last year my brother didn't qualify for financial aid, so I shouldn't bother applying this year.
Fact: This may not be true because the number of family members in college has a big impact on financial aid eligibility.
Myth: The application process is too complicated. I can't do it.
Fact: Most colleges require only the FAFSA in order to apply for assistance. Much of the information needed to fill out the FAFSA is found on family tax returns. On the 2013-2014 FAFSA students and parents are urged to use the new IRS Data Retrieval Tool that automatically pulls information from the IRS tax return and places the information in the correct FAFSA fields. In addition to the form's directions there is also online and telephone support available. The FAFSA can be filled out online and saved for future reference.
Myth: There isn't enough aid for everyone.
Fact: Federal student aid from the U.S. Department of Education is the largest source of aid in America, providing over $150 billion in grants, work-study, and federal loans for students attending four-year colleges or universities, community colleges, and career schools. The State of Maryland also has an extensive array of financial aid programs in the form of grants, scholarships and other awards for students who want to further their education beyond high school.
Myth: Millions of scholarship dollars go unclaimed every year.
Fact: The statement that private scholarship dollars go unclaimed is unfounded. One may search for scholarships online through sites such as www.fastweb.org
To register in advance for this College Goal Maryland event person may visitwww.CollegeGoalSundayMD.org
In order to complete the FAFSA at the College Goal Maryland Program, students and parents will need the following:
- Social Security number (can be found on Social Security card)
- Driver's license (if any)
- 2012 income tax return (if completed)
- 2012 W-2 Forms and other records of money earned
- 2012 untaxed income records - Social Security, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, welfare, or veterans benefits records
- 2012 bank statements
- 2012 business and investment mortgage information, business and farm records, stock, bond, and other investment records
- Alien registration card (if one who is not a U.S. citizen)

Netley Marsh is a civil parish in Hampshire, England, close to the town of Totton. It lies within the New Forest District, and the New Forest National Park. It is the alleged site of the battle between an invading Anglo Saxon army, under Cerdic and a British army under Natanleod in the year 508.
Netley Marsh lies to the west of Southampton. The village is on the A336 road from Cadnam to Totton. The parish is bounded by Bartley Water in the south, and River Blackwater in the north. The village of Woodlands is in the south of the parish, and the hamlets of Hillstreet and Ower (chiefly in Copythorne parish) are to the north.

Finishes boded well for section meet
Clint Riese
Sports Editor
If anything was learned at last week's Suburban East Conference nordic skiing championship, it is that every stride and second will be crucial in this week's Section 4 meet. On paper, both the Forest Lake and Stillwater boys and girls appeared to be in a dead heat going into Wednesday's postseason race at Trollhaugen.
The Stillwater girls claimed the SEC title last Wednesday, knocking off the defending champs from Forest Lake 465-459. Roseville took third with 449 points.
On the boys' side, Roseville won by 13 points over Forest Lake. Stillwater was seven points back of the Rangers. This year marks Roseville's first in Section 5, however, so the Section 4 meet looked to be a two-horse race.
"It's going to be absolutely crazy," said coach Deno Johnson. "It should be a nail-biter."
Check www.forestlaketimes.com this week for an update from the section meet.
Girls Close Gap
After placing second in the SEC and third in the section in 2011, the Stillwater girls have appeared to be racing with a chip on their shoulders this season. The Ponies emerged as the team to beat in the SEC as this winter wore on, and were ranked third in the state heading into the championship pursuit race.
Stillwater proved its worth by placing nine girls in the top 18 and beating the field last Wednesday. Still, Johnson came away from the six-point loss feeling his Ranger squad had a chance to earn the section's state bid this week. Forest Lake finished 24 points back of Stillwater in the previous race, the MLK Pursuit on Jan. 16.
"The girls are starting to flex their muscles a little bit now that they've had some rest," he said.
Rocci Wohlk kept alive the program's long streak of individual SEC champions. The ninth-grader's time of 24:37 was 26 seconds faster than that of the runner-up, Stillwater senior Nora Gilbertson. Wohlk clocked the fastest split in both the classical (13:03) and skate (11:34) portions of the pursuit.
She has won each event this season except for the loaded Mesabi East Invite, at which each competitor can ski in only one discipline.
Senior Cassie Thobe took fourth in 26:16. Senior Holly Winberg (11th, 27:44), eighth-grader Kate Schaaf (13th, 28:10) and sophomore Jess Greeley (19th, 28:44) also scored points and earned all-conference honors.
Schaaf was not even on the varsity roster for last season's postseason, while the other four each improved their placement from the 2011 SEC meet. Compared to the recent MLK Pursuit which consisted of the same field, Thobe improved one place, Winberg five, Schaaf six and Greeley three.
Ninth-grader Molly Meed earned honorable mention all-conference honors for placing 36th in 31:44.
"It couldn't have gone much better than it did," Johnson said.
Boys Hope for Repeat Effort
Beating Stillwater and finishing as the runners-up, the Ranger boys impressed Johnson as much as the girls did. With Roseville now out of the sectional picture, Forest Lake had the chance to return to state after one year away if it could edge the Ponies again this week.
"The boys are starting to rev their engines and it's a good feeling," said Johnson. "They've done a real nice job this year. It's not easy to go out to Trollhaugen every day with no variety, but they've been very focused and goal-oriented."
Roseville took the top three individual spots, with senior Sam Elfstrom leading the way with a time of 21:33. Defending SEC champion Joe Jackson led the Rangers with a fourth-place finish and a time of 22:32. Senior Alex Kelley came in two places later with a time of 23:00 and junior Jacob Jankowski, despite falling, finished two spots after that with a time of 23:29.
Junior Jack Ebel improved 17 positions from last year and placed 14th in 24:34. Eighth-grader Tommy Babcock hit the line next nine seconds later. Both scored points and made the all-conference team for the first time. Babcock became the highest-placing eighth-grader at the SEC meet in program history and the team's second all-conference boy of that age.
The sixth Ranger to finish, ninth-grader Leo Hipp, also made the all-conference team. The first-year team member placed 17th with a time of 24:56. Eighth-grader Davis Long (25th, 26:11) and ninth-grader Quinn Duffy (26th, 26:15) narrowly missed the all-conference cut-off but earned honorable mention honors.
Johnson felt the section meet was going to be a showdown of Stillwater's superior size and athleticism against Forest Lake's better technique and form.

Last week, about 160 early-career scientists from a wide range of disciplines met with members of the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee. The meeting took place in the splendid surrounding of the Geological Society and Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) headquarters in central London. The delegates, from industrial and academic backgrounds and as far afield as St. Andrews and Belfast, had the opportunity to raise their concerns with the science policy makers.
The group, called Voice of the Future, was organised by the RSC, a learned and professional society dedicated to the chemical sciences, which regularly briefs members of both Houses on scientific issues relating to chemistry. But the last time it held such an event, at which younger scientists had the opportunity to express their views, was 4 years ago.
The session took the form of a Science Question Time, in which the scientists quizzed the policy makers on their views. Whether or not they had all the answers became clearer as the morning progressed.
The panellists...
Opening the proceedings, the committee's chair, Dr. Ian Gibson, MP for Norwich North and formerly dean of biology at the University of East Anglia, established that he and the other panel members shared a fairly comprehensive understanding of their audience. He explained that the Select Committee is committed to doing everything both "inside and outside Parliament to raise the profile of science and technology and to tackle some of the key issues that need public and parliamentary attention". He acknowledged that traditionally, there is a culture of mistrust between politicians and scientists as, unfortunately, MPs want "black-and-white answers" to their questions. However, through events such as the Royal Society of Chemistry's annual Parliament Links Day, at which MPs and Peers can hear briefings on current scientific issues, this is being addressed.
The first question came from Dr. George Fern, a lecturer in the School of Chemical and Life Sciences at the University of Greenwich. It concerned the latest controversial round of the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). Given the large number of 5 and 5* departments identified, he asked the panel, how is the government going to promote young scientists to enable them to achieve the international reputations and publication records that will enable them become the future leaders of such departments?
...are put on the spot
Dr. Brian Iddon (MP for Bolton SE) took the question and acknowledged that there had been a lot of "collateral damage" as a result of the RAE, a lowering of morale, and a loss of experience from departments. The committee was, he said, examining the suggestion by the Association of University Teachers that money should be made available to 'kick-start' young scientists' careers and enable wounded departments to build on their successes before the next assessment, which may not take place for another 7 to 10 years. The RAE is an expensive exercise; to enable the scientific community to get value for money, it may be prudent to wait a couple of years longer than the usual 5-year cycle before conducting another.
The issue of retention of early-career scientists was a major theme of the day. It was discussed from the angle of the public perception of science, scientific training and the low take-up of scientific disciplines in school, and the financial rewards that career scientists receive in this country.
Dr. Louise Cramer, a research fellow in the MRC Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology at University College London, wanted to know what action was being taken to address discrimination against women in science.
The group was told that the government is actively promoting the allocation and take-up of paternity leave, so that the imbalance between men and women is addressed, along with the misconception that there is a trade-off between excellence and equality. Although there were many specific issues that pertained to women in science, the importance of breaking down science stereotypes and providing role models for future generations was generally voiced. In a culture where most school-age children can name England's football players, how many would be able to name a leading British scientist?
The latter part of the debate was given over to the burning issue of salaries (should leading British scientists command the same salaries as footballers?) and the 'brain drain'. Dr. Richard Parsons, a research fellow in the department of medicine at the University of Birmingham, described to the panel how he supervises four Ph.D. students, juggles his own research and teaching commitments, and earns "less than a branch manager at McDonald's". With tuition fees now levied at undergraduate level and Ph.D. studentships set at varying degrees of competitiveness, the Select Committee members were asked whether the government had considered writing off student debt in a scheme similar to that in place for science and mathematics graduates entering the teaching profession. In true political style, the question was not exactly answered ... but the meeting's chair took pains to reassure the group that it was "pushing an open door".
So, was it a worthwhile experience? Cramer--like many others--felt that although it was "easy to identify the questions", she had been "reassured but not informed" at the conclusion of the meeting. Dr. James Bruce, a lecturer in the department of chemistry at the Open University, was also comforted that the Select Committee understood "where we were coming from" but got the distinct impression that "their hands were tied". Committee chair Gibson, meanwhile, described it as "refreshing" to listen to the questions and said it reminded the Select Committee of what was important to scientists today.
Although it would be fair to say that not many answers were given, both organisers and delegates alike felt that the day was helpful and that an event of such relevance should be held more regularly.
Currently, only one member of the cabinet and 50 MPs hold a science degree. So maybe it is up to us, the young scientists. Maybe we need to think about what we are giving to society. How can we improve our image? I think that the organisation Voice of the Future is a step in the right direction. By strengthening links among universities, industry, learned societies, and the community, together we can promote greater understanding of one another and the issues we all face.

I have just received a sample (wrong one tho,sent me dog food,silly)but requesting another of this food and all the information with it.
I am seriously considering it for my three kitties, Lexie is already on prescription food, it sounds really good, the price is competitive too, at $34.95 for a 3 kilo bag, that works at a few dollars more than purina and excellence i buy now, but if it was a good product i would consider it,and of course if they actually like it, they also deliver by courier free of charge and offer a reward of every 11th bag free,so with that it makes it quite economical.
Anyhow i know this product has been readily available in the USA for years, it is relatively new here, would like your thoughts and opinions, thanks.

The Hungarian government is now drifting towards the establishment of a strong Fascist regime. Emulating Italy, the government of Hungary is now on the way to suppressing the existing labor organizations, the Socialist party and a number of liberal bodies.
This forthcoming wave of Fascism in Hungary will, however little affect the situation of the Jews there. There are a great number of Jews in the Hungarian municipalities who will lose their seats as a result of the new policy of the Hungarian government. These Jews, however, will be deprived of their seats not as Jews, but as members of the Socialist party. The Jewish Community in Budapest has long disassociated itself from those Jewish aldermen who were elected on the Socialist ticket. The leaders of the Jewish Community in Hungary have even go so far to declare in a public statement that those Jews elected on a Socialist ticket should not be considered as representing the interests of Hungarian Jews.
Should Fascism become the official policy of the government, instead of the semi-dictatorial policy of General Gomboes, the present war minister and virtual dictator of Hungary, the anti-Semitic Nazi movement will suffer by it not less than the Socialist movement. It will practically be declared illegal.
Even today the Hungarian government dies not view with favor any Nazi propaganda. It prohibits the existence of Nazi organizations. It suppresses Nazi newspapers. Its opposition to Nazi propaganda is so great that recently a number of parents whose children wore the swastika were sentenced to pay a special fine and the children were expelled from school for a full term.
The present tendency of the Hungarian government to follow the Italian Fascist line makes it even more certain that Hungary will not permit the anti-Jewish propaganda which the German Nazis are financing in other countries abroad. The strengthening of the Nazi propaganda in Hungary would be injurious directly for the Hungarian state interests. Such propaganda would develop later into a propaganda for the annexation of certain parts of Hungary.
The Hungarian government during the last year has tried not only to suppress the anti-Jewish propaganda which the Nazis are conducting but also any kind of propaganda in the country. It even indicated a desire to abolish the numerus clausus which still exists in some of the universities. Numerous pro-Jewish speeches were delivered in the parliament. Sentiment was developed in the country by certain members of the Hungarian cabinet in favor of Jews.
This attitude of the Hungarian higher authorities was appreciated by Jewish leaders in Hungary, especially because of the fact that Hungary borders so closely on Nazi Germany. In a declaration issued by the Jewish community of Budapest acknowledgement was made as to the fair treatment which the Jewish population received from the present Hungarian regime, and hope was expressed that the government of Gomboes would continue its pro-Jewish policy in the future.
The drifting of the Hungarian government towards Fascism of the Italian style does not, therefore, endanger the Jewish situation in Hungary.

Sign up for our weekly email * The Anglo-Australian mining group BHP Billiton has named Andrew Mackenzie, head of non-ferrous metals division, as its new chief executive. Mackenzie, who joined the company in 2008 from Rio Tinto, will replace Marius Kloppers, who will step down in May 2013 after serving the company for almost 20 years. Jac Nasser, chairman of BHP said that Kloppers had left BHP a safer and stronger company. "Despite an exceptionally difficult economic environment during his tenure, Marius and his team have delivered for shareholders, significantly outperforming our peers in terms of total shareholder returns," Nasser added. Kloppers said: "I've been very fortunate to lead one of the world's great resource companies. Deciding the right time to retire was never going to be easy. However, after almost 20 years with BHP Billiton, 12 as a senior executive and nearly six as chief executive, I believe now is the right time to pass the leadership baton." For the six months ended 31 December 2012, BHP reported a 43 per cent fall in underlying earnings to $5.68bn.

text: Hello, I had my female veiled chameleon since April '05. Yesterday she passed away. I have no idea why, and it happened so fast that I didn't even have time to get her help. Her housing was kept clean, and fully cleaned on a regular basis. She had fresh water sprayed into her housing 2X a day, and a waterfall system that I "dripped" into a pool at least once a day. She was fed 6-8 crickets (bought from an established pet supply store) every 2 days using gut-loading techniques and "cricket dusting" was done on every 2nd feeding. She had deep, and moist, enough soil to lay eggs when, and if, she had to. I had a UVb lighting system, a 75w heating lamp (both set on a timer to turn on and off) for her to bask in, and a under-housing heating pad to heat the housing from underneath. Yesterday morning before I went to work I noticed that she was a little bit fat and her eye's were somewhat closed. The fat part kinda worried me, but her eyes being closed didn't worry me because her lights had JUST turned on and I assumed that she was just waking up. Her colouring was nice and green, and nothing was out of the norm. Last night when I got home from work, I went to feed her and she was lying on the ground (of her housing), flat on her belly with her mouth open about 2mm. Her spine was a pale green, her tail was a pale green, her body was almost a black colour, and the sockets around her eyes were black. She was not opening her eyes and was unreceptive to me being near or touching her. She was still alive, but barely. Due to the fact that the vets around my area don't even know how to diagnose a cat and are completely useless, I chose to consult the internet. Of all the pages and forums I read, none of them described the symptons that she showed. Within the last few minutes of her living, she lifted her head from the ground and took big gasps of air (I could hear the breaths). Within 1 hour of me being home from work she passed away. I have recently moved from one location to another, but I had done that twice already in her life, so I do not think that the stress of a new environment was the factor. She had been feeding and drinking without issues. She was having regular bowel movements, and her feces and urine looked normal. She had always been mobile and agile. If she had fallen, at most she would have fallen 14 inches. This loss has been quite upsetting for me, and if anyone would be able to give me some help as to why she may have died so quickly, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, J

Here are some sample collections to give you ideas on how to implement collections on your own site. The detailed instructions will show you just how easy collections are to set up and use.
Filter News To Display In A Content Well Portlet
The Biochemistry and Biophysics web site uses collections to highlight specific categories of news (Faculty News, Student News, and Postdoc & Scholars News).
Here's how you would implement this:
Create the News items
- Add multiple News items to your site.
- Ensure each one has a Title, Summary information and an Image.
- Add an appropriate tag to each News item. For example, all of the news that you want to display in the Faculty News portlet should be tagged with something like faculty news, faculty_news, or news-faculty. You can use whatever naming convention you choose. Just ensure that you don't have multiple variations of the same thing. For example, you wouldn't want to use all three faculty news tags (faculty news, faculty_news, and news-faculty). Pick one and stick with it.
Create the Collection
- Navigate to the place in your site where you want to add the collection.
- Click on the Add new... button on the green bar and select Collection.
- Give the collection a name (for example, Faculty News).
- Add a Search Term set to Tag and check the corresponding tag under the Select drop-down menu (for example news_faculty). The preview box will show you how many items match your search terms.
- It is recommended that you add a second search term with Review state set to Published. This will prevent private content from displaying in the collection results.
- Sort on the Effective date.
- Check the Reversed order option so that the most recent News articles will display first.
- Click the Save button.
- Publish the collection
- If you don't want the collection to display in the navigation (which is most often the case), you can exclude it.
Display the Collections in the content well
- On the page where you want to display the News, click the link of the portlet area that you want to add the portlets to (for example, the 'Add, edit or remove a portlet below the content' link)
- To create a 3-column display like Biochemistry and Biophysics did, you would add a Collection Portlet (Content Well) to Portlet well D, E, and F.
- Add a Portlet Header.
- Under Target collection, type in the name of the collection you want to display (for example news_faculty) and click the search button. Don't worry if you forgot the exact name of the collection. Typing in 'faculty' will list all collections with faculty in the name. Click the search button.
- Click the radio button next to the collection you are looking for.
- In the Limit box, specify the maximum number of items to show in the portlet. Most sites will set this between 3 and 5 when displaying a collection in a portlet.
- Add a check next to the Show more... link option.
Similar Collections
Our Newsroom web site uses a collection to gather news article to be displayed in the Video Library section of the home page. The only difference with this setup is that the News articles have a video rather than an image attached to them.
More examples coming soon.

COLUMBUS -- Over continued objections from Democratic members, the Ohio House OK'd the first part of Gov. John Kasich's mid-biennium budget package Wednesday, sending it to the Ohio Senate for further consideration.
House Bill 483 is one of more than a dozen bills containing law and policy changes initially proposed by the governor and amended by lawmakers in the House over the past several weeks.
It passed on a mostly party-line vote of 57-33 following a lengthy afternoon debate. Wednesday marked the last scheduled voting session before lawmakers headed out of town for a pre-primary recess.
The bill included numerous law changes affecting an array of state agencies. Rep. Ron Amstutz, R-Wooster, chairman of the chamber's finance committee, said the legislation is a reflection of the priorities spotlighted by the governor during his State of the State address earlier this year, with proposed policies aimed at helping needy families and children.
"This is about veterans, this is about children," Amstutz said. "This is about our older youth who are looking for a better educational and workforce training experience. It is about troubled youth. It is about protecting children."
He added, "This bill really isn't about more government. It's about trying to make government work better."
The bill includes increased efforts to provide career advising and mentoring to students, job training for young adults who dropped out of high school, grants for a workforce training pilot program and increased services for Ohioans who are addicted to heroin or prescription painkillers.
The House removed a number of original and amended provisions, including language related to the state's public notice website and authorizing chiropractors to assess student athletes who have suffered concussions.
A short-lived amendment to penalize counties for sending unsolicited absentee ballot applications to voters -- a slap at Cuyahoga County Executive and Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Ed FitzGerald -- was removed before the bill hit the floor.
But the final legislation did include a couple of controversial amendments added by Republicans in the House.
One would officially declare that college athletes are not employees of the schools they attend, a preemptive strike against students who pursue forming unions.
Another amendment would void an administrative rule put into place by former Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, that regulated certain campaign contributions from union groups and corporations.
"The real point, I think, of this rule, as I understand it, is that it was a rule that was passed without legislative approval," said Rep. Matt Huffman, R-Lima. "And because we have a series of decisions that are now the law of the land ... this issue needs to be revisited by the legislature. ... We have a vague rule. We have, in my mind, an unconstitutional rule."
But opponents said the move would lead to unfettered corporate influence, potentially from overseas, on the state's elections.
"I'm from the Mahoning Valley," said Rep. Bob Hagan, D-Youngstown), who opposed the legislation. "I have watched what other countries have done to my area as they have drained the jobs away ... and now we sit here with a bill that will allow foreign investment in this process? Contributions coming from somewhere else? This is the most objectionable part of the legislative process."
Rep. Chris Redfern, R-Catawba Island, added, "It opens up the purchasing of elections at every level."

ABC News' Alice Gomstyn reports: In the dog-eat-dog world of big business, you don't often hear about a company sticking up for a rival. Yet, earlier this week, Ford declared that it supported government help for General Motors and Chrysler, even while Ford itself said it could do without the short-term loans now under consideration by Congress.
Ford has made clear that it doesn't want to see its cross-town competition put out of business ... but don't start singing Kumbaya yet. On Ford's part, it's not exactly a selfless move. Among the Detroit 3, there is substantial overlap among auto parts suppliers, and if even one domestic automaker collapses, parts suppliers – which are already struggling because the automakers have cut down on production and their purchase of supplies in recent years – could find themselves going under, too.
"It would be customary for the (bankrupt automaker) not to make checks out to the suppliers for parts that have been shipped over the last two months and the supplier would lose all that cash," said Craig Fitzgerald, an auto analyst at Plante & Moran PLLC in Southfield, Mich. "For many of them, that would be the straw that breaks the camel's back -- that will either force them into bankruptcy or force them into liquidation."
Without the suppliers, a surviving automaker -- ie. Ford -- would find it nearly impossible to get the parts it needs to keep producing its cars.
"It has the risk to potentially shut down many or all of Ford's plants," Fitzgerald said.
Ford has another motivation to help keep its competition afloat -- to meet future government fuel economy standards, the automakers may collaborate on developing fuel-saving technology.
"For those kinds of R&D projects, there's no competitive advantage," Fitzgerald said. "They'd just as soon share those costs."
In the meantime, some, including "Bailout Nation" author Barry Ritholtz and Edward Altman, a finance professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, continue to argue that bankruptcy is still the best option for the auto industry.
Both Ritholtz and Altman say that, through a bankruptcy, the government could take the role of "debtor-in-possession" and lend the bankrupt company money.
Through its DIP status, the government would later be first in line to get its money back, Altman said during testimony before Congress last week, while the bankrupt company would get more time to pay off other creditors and more flexibility to renegotiate its pension and health care claims.
It's a better alternative, he said, to "a highly controversial government bailout," which would not offer the same protections as a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
And, Altman said, even with the government bailout, GM and Chrysler are "doomed to eventually file for bankruptcy" anyway.
"The management and boards of these two firms, which until recently have been in a state of denial, should face up to the reality of their dismal outlook," he said.
Altman is one of many to criticize the management of the automakers and some -- including members have Congress-- have gone as far as to say that the companies' chief executives should resign.
There's at least one person, however, arguing otherwise: Lee Iacocca, the former president of Ford and the former chairman and CEO of Chrysler. Iacocca was at Chrysler's helm when the company lobbied -- and later received -- a government bailout in the late 1970s.
In a statement yesterday, Iacocca defended the Big 3's chiefs, saying that they were "by far the best shot we have for success."
"Having been there, I do not agree with the sentiment now coming out of Congress that the management should be changed as a condition of granting loans to the Detroit automakers. You don't change coaches in the middle of a game, especially when things are so volatile," Iaccoca said.
"The companies may not be perfect but the guys who are running them now are the only ones with the experience and the in-depth knowledge and understanding of how the car business really works," he said. "...I say give them their marching orders and then let them march."

The School Library Journal just came out with it's annual Best Comics for Kids list, and Kimi ni Todoke made the list. This dovetails nicely with our plans to make Japanator your 24-7 Kimi ni Todoke news site.
Before you say "But Kimi ni Todoke isn't for eight-year-olds!", allow me to clarify: there were actually different lists for different age groups, and KnT was in the 'Best Comics for Teens' category, along with Pluto, Children of the Sea, and Maximum Ride. I question the inclusion of Maximum Ride, but considering the fact that I haven't read it, I can't really say anything. On the Tweens list, we have Leave it to Pet!, the only manga included for that demographic. On the wee widdle kiddies list (they like to call 'em Young Readers) were several manga including The Big Adventures of Majoko (shown above) and Ninja Baseball Kyuma.
Interesting note: if you do a search for "Best Books for Kids 2009", on SLJ's website, you only get the best comics list. The annual Best Books list is just called "Best Books", even though each title has a grade level recommendation. I'm slightly confused by this- do they think it's obvious that their book picks are for kids, but they have to make special note of the fact that their comics list is age-appropriate?I have very mixed feelings about this in general. No one needs to convince me of the artistic value of manga (we aspiring mangaka tend to be pretty sold on that), but I think it's extremely important to get kids used to reading Books with a capital B during the elementary school years. If you learn to tackle big, intimidating books as a child, that's a skill that you will have in your intellectual arsenal for the rest of your life, and it's about a billion times easier to internalize that as a child than any other time. I believe that manga can be as meaningful as traditional books, so it's not a question of content; it's the fact that training your imagination and your attention span is still best done with traditional prose. And if you develop those skills, it only makes reading manga better. Putting out two separate lists emphasizes the fact that the two art forms are not the same thing, but plenty of the books on the traditional list seem to be made up of as much artwork as prose, which makes me wonder what SLJ thinks the distinction is.
This is hardly SLJ's fault, but I think there's a trend these days of parents giving their kids manga with the rational that "at least I can get them to read something, instead of just playing video games", and it's no insult to manga to say that there are some limitations to that strategy. The Teens list is A-okay with me, but I hope parents and educators prioritize prose well above manga for the little 'uns, even if it makes me the enemy of otaku-dom to say it.
