Environmental Resources Depletion and Interplay Between Negative and Positive Externalities in a Growth Model
AbstractWe analyse growth dynamics in an economy where the well-being of economic agents depends on three goods: leisure, a free access environmental good and a private good which can be produced by each agent through his own labour input. The private good can be consumed as a substitute for the environmental resource. The production process of the private good by each agent generates negative externalities on the other agents, by depleting the free access natural resource; but it also produces positive externalities by increasing the productivity of labour via a learning-by-doing mechanism of accumulation of knowledge [which is a pure public good]. In this context, we show that attracting steady states may exist which are Pareto-dominated by others where aggregate private consumption and labour productivity are lower. However, negative externalities can also be an engine of desirable growth: the deterioration of the environmental good can play the role of a coordination device leading economic agents to a wider exploitation of positive externalities.

A south Georgia businessman says re-opening his bar will be next to impossible thanks to ruthless thieves.
B. J.'s Bar in Moultrie was burglarized while its owner was out of town.
The bar has been closed for the past year because of issues with management. But now the owner is out thousands of dollars after burglars stole items ranging from electronics to the air conditioning unit.
Good Memories, old friends and cold beer is what comes to mind when owner B. J. thinks of the bar he has owned for seven years.
"It gets emotional you know, so many memories, and so many good times, every time I walk through that door now, knowing we are not open, I just sink," says B. J. Bibeault, Owner of B. J.'s Bar.
BJ Bibeault went by last week to check on the bar and trim the grass, but he was not prepared for what he found.
"As you can see from the mess they have strewn everything, damaged everything and taken what was not nailed down," says Bibeault.
No one was there at the time of the break in, because the bar has been closed for the last year.
"The opening that they are coming through is behind the coolers in this back corner," says Bibeault.
Thousands of dollars in property was stolen.
This hole in the wall is where a big screen TV used to be.
"Just looking around and noticing all the things that are missing, it does not seem like that much but when you start putting it into dollar signs and bank accounts and realizing that you have to come out of pocket it becomes a bigger deal," says Bibeault.
And now reopening is going to be next to impossible.
"You ask yourself, is it even worth it," says Bibeault.
But what is worth it, he says is providing the community with a bar where the customers feel like family.
"They are asking all the time, 'When are you going to reopen we love that place you know, it feels like home," says Bibeault.
A set back, but hopefully not one that will keep his bar closed for good.
B. J. hopes for a fresh start and says he hopes to eventually reopen B. J.'s Bar and make it even better this time around.

Brock Nelson isn't among the flashiest names when it comes to NHL rookies, but he's still piecing together a solid first year for the New York Islanders. The former first-round pick spent 66 games in the AHL last season, making a strong professional debut on the back of a 25-goal campaign.
While he's not scoring at that same pace for the Islanders yet, he seems to be settling into a groove lately. After picking up an assist in New York's 1-0 victory over the Washington Capitals last night, Nelson has four goals and six points over his last nine contests. That brings his totals to 10 goals and nine assists through 48 games played—good for 17th in the NHL in rookie scoring.
With Thomas Vanek unlikely to stay on Long Island, the Islanders need all of their prospects to continue to evolve and grow. Replacing a guy like Vanek is tough, but a 6'3″, 205 pound power forward slowly emerging as a rookie is a good place to start. Fans of the team know all too well how long it can sometimes take for players that rely on their strength to develop.
Kyle Okposo took more than 300 games to finally show his end-game form, and now he's one of the most underrated players in the NHL while scoring more than a point per game on New York's top line. It's still way too early to tell if Nelson has that kind of player in him, this recent surge shows that he's coming along nicely for the Islanders.

Ole Miss Freedom Marker Commemorates MeredithBy Sandra Knispel | Published 29 Sep 2012 06:23pm |
This Sunday marks the day – exactly 50 years ago -- that the Ole Miss campus erupted in riots over the admission of its first black student. This morning, officials unveiled a Mississippi Freedom Trail marker to commemorate that event. MPB's Sandra Knispel reports from Oxford.
[Nat sound unveiling of the marker]
Oxford Mayor Pat Patterson, Ward Emling with the Mississippi Development Authority's Tourism Division, and Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones together unveiled the marker that commemorates James Meredith's lengthy court battle and ultimate success to become the first black student here in 1962.
Chancellor Dan Jones told the small crowd assembled on the northeast corner of the Lyceum that this marker serves as a reminder:
"As we celebrate the courage of James Meredith and many others who came behind him here and suffered difficult days on this campus, we also commemorate that it was a difficult time, that there was a long period of injustice, that injustice was a part of life in this state, in this university, and in this country."
The marker displays photographs of James Meredith and two other African Americans who tried to enroll before him: slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers and Clennon King, as well as photos of the deadly riots.

Stratford Real Estate
The area of Stratford, Ontario was first settled in 1832 and incorporated in 1885. It is located on the Avon River in Perth County, which is in southwestern Ontario. It is a small city with a population of about 31,000 people and an area of 21.92 square kilometers. There is a total of about 12,642 private dwellings. The city started out as a railway junction and is still one today. There are railroads that provide freight links in the area and a passenger carrier as well, the VIA Rail Canada. It is not on the freeway system but is located at the junctions of Highways 7, 8 and Perth Road 119 that connect to Highway 401.
As well as being known as a tourist center, it is the location of the famous Stratford Summer Music Festival that features outdoor and indoor performances by international and local music artists as well as younger Canadian performers in the downtown area. Prices for many of the performances are even free.
Stratford, Ontario is THE center for theater in Ontario and holds the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, Canadian plays at the Blyth Festival. There is also a booming visual art scene. There are shows at Art in the Park events and the Gallery Stratford. Changing collections of art can always be viewed at the gallery called Factory 163. There is a great museum called the Stratford-Perth Museum, which was built in the 19th century. Actually, Stratford has some of the most well preserved heritage in Canada. There are many buildings including mansions, cottages, churches, civic buildings and commercial buildings in the area that were built in the 19th century and today operate as bed and breakfasts, shops and restaurants. There are many parks and gardens in the area also, the most famous probably being the one along the Avon River where you can see the most famous citizens of the city the Swans of Stratford.
The Stratford Festival lasts more than six months and has been put on annually since 1953. It features plays performed in four main theaters, the Avon Theatre, the Studio Theatre, the Tom Patterson Theatre and the Festival Theatre. Productions range from plays of William Shakespeare and other playwrights. In fact, the community is named for Shakespeare's birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon in England.

My master bedroom is decorated with an island theme and I have this hanging over the doorway between the master bedroom and master bath. The bathroom has a pocket door and I can still close the door if privacy is needed. I love the way it looks!

17. What's in your iPod? A lot of Stevie Wonder. I also love to listen to Norah Jones, Jill Scott and Beyonce.
18. What are you reading this summer? Well, Song of Solomon is one of my favorite books, but between campaigning and running around with the girls, I'm lucky if I get to read a couple of paragraphs of the New York Times these days!
19. Are your children aware of the racial tension in your husband's candidacy? My oldest, Malia is definitely aware of the significance of her father's candidacy, but mostly in the historical sense. She's aware that there was a time when both African Americans and women did not fully participate in society, and understands how special it is that both her father and Senator Clinton were competing for the nomination. More than anything, I'm so happy that my girls will grow up where the prospect of a woman or African American president is normal. And that's one of the major reasons why our family has invested so much into this campaign - I want them to grow up in a world where they don't have to limit themselves, where they can dream and achieve without ever hitting a glass ceiling.
20. Katie Couric said Sexism is a bigger problem than racism. As a black woman, what's your take? I didn't see what Katie Couric said, but I think that there are several obstacles, including sexism and racism, that we must overcome together as a nation. And that's why Barack is running for President, and why so many people have gravitated towards his message of unity, hope and change. As I've traveled across the country over the last year and a half, I've come to learn that despite differences that we may have on the issues, we all love our country, we love our families and want to succeed, and I see these as signs that we're ready to come together as a country to solve our nation's biggest challenges.

Just a few short months ago, the insistence that Sky Ferreira was a real artist was irksome. Like c'mon that's a joke, right? Tumblr muse famous for portraying the pillars of heroin chic (tired, bored, beautiful) and getting caught with actual heroin? Yes. Bona fide, talented musician? Absolutely not.
But since the release of her new album Night Time, My Time I've changed my tune, as it seems she's changed hers. She bumped up her energy and confidence (maybe it's the heroin…?) from the painfully simple & pouty "Everything is Embarassing" and created an album that is fun, clever, catchy, and has some depth. That's basically my checklist for good pop music.
For that's what Sky Ferreira is: pop music. I think my expectations of her are too high because she looks so cool. Therefore, I expect her music to be somehow deeper and more artful than pop music. Her aesthetic is truly awesome. As a comment on her video states, "she's so tumblr." She embodies the unique, alternative, edgy look so many girls are trying desperately to achieve (mostly in vain). Fashion icons like Sky and Claire Boucher prove once and for all that the days of cookie-cutter Britneys, Christinas, and Jessicas ruling the pop music scene are gone.
For being a pioneer on the road to embracing female stars as creative, artistic individuals, I love Ferreira. And I actually love this new album. If you're not sold on the music, I'm sorry but at least you'll have a salacious tit pic on your iPhone as the cover art to shock the relatives at Thanksgiving.

The Green Bay Packers (10-4) will play their final regular-season home game of 2012 when they welcome the Tennessee Titans (5-9) to Lambeau Field Sunday. The Packers have locked up the NFC North Division title and secured at least one home game in the NFL playoffs. Now, with a little help, Green Bay hopes to move up in the NFC seedings and get a first round bye in the postseason. Head coach Mike McCarthy's team has had its share of injuries this season and getting extra rest in the playoffs would definitely help…
While it seems unlikely that the Packers will catch the Atlanta Falcons (12-2) for the top seed in the NFC, it is not out of the realm of possibility that they could be the number two seed. The Packers could use some help this week from the Seattle Seahawks (9-5), who are playing the San Francisco 49ers (10-3-1). After their controversial week three loss at Seattle, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was asked if it will be tough to pull for the Seahawks…
The Titans are an uncommon opponent for the Packers. The two teams have not met in the regular season since 2008 and the two teams have not played at Lambeau Field since 2004. What that means is more film work for Rodgers and the Packers…
The Packers defense will be faced with the challenge of trying to slow down Titans running back Chris Johnson. He has three touchdown runs of 80 or more yards this season, including a 94-yard score this past Monday night against the New York Jets. Defensive tackle B.J. Raji thinks that the Packers will be up to the challenge…
Sunday's game will be a family reunion of sorts for Clay Matthews. His uncle Bruce Matthews is the offensive line coach for the Titans and his cousin Kevin Matthews is a center with Tennessee. The Packers linebacker is looking forward to the matchup…
Kickoff of Sunday's game between the Packers and Titans is set for Noon.
This is the eleventh meeting between the two teams. The Packers are 4-6 in the previous ten games with the Titans.
The Packers have won three straight and eight of their last nine.

Rump Roast Run
Submitted: 09/27/2014
Enlarge Image
- There was a 5 kilometer and 10 kilometer run in Minocqua Saturday morning.
Many people know Beef-A-Rama for the amount of beef sold on the streets of Minocqua.
But, this morning, runners gathered to not only raise money, but to burn calories before a day of eating.
The 11th Annual Rump Roast Run raises money for the local Rotary Club. They sponsor projects around town.
"What we are raising money for today is our rotary foundation, which funds things like scholarships, we offer 6 scholarships a year to Lakeland High School," said Commander in Beef of the Rump Roast Run Steve Petersen.
More than 1000 runners came out for the run.
And, some of them were under the age of 12. They ran in the calf mile.
"I thought it was fun. And, I thought I could get a little exercise," said calf mile runner Sam Groth.
The top male and female finishers for the 5k run were Mitch Easter and Sammy Stimac.
10k male and female top finishers were Ryan Kistner and Temima Gould.
The top boy and girl finishers for the calf mile were Nick Rybicki and Lizzy Mikulich.

The Ferguson CrackdownPosted: August 16, 2014 Filed under: Media Leave a comment
If you doubt the value of a free press, consider the assault on the media covering the tensions in Ferguson, Missouri, this week.
The situation was very tense there for days after the shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a local police officer, for unclear reasons. As the community began to protest, the St. Louis County Police rolled in with military gear, unnecessarily escalating the situation enormously.
The only reason we know about any of that is because reporters were on the ground covering it. The police did all they could to prevent them from fulfilling their mission of informing the public, including briefly arresting a couple and firing tear gas at an Al Jazeera camera crew.
I am sure there are some who would welcome a media blackout so that the heavy-handed militarized police could do whatever they wanted with impunity. Those people, I argue, don't understand how America is supposed to work.
What Isn't SaidPosted: July 30, 2014 Filed under: Media | Tags: bias, Fox, Milbank, obamacare Leave a comment
Liberal media bias? Try this on:
The Washington Post's Dana Milbank and Fox News both report on a mayor upset about the closure of the hospital in his small North Carolina town, which resulted in the death of a heart attack victim.
Both reports link the closure to the Affordable Care Act, aka "Obamacare."
However, to read the Fox Report, you would be forgiven for thinking that Mayor Adam O'Neal blames the law and the president. O'Neal is a Republican and no fan of the ACA. The Fox News piece is headlined "North Carolina mayor walks to Washington to bring focus to ObamaCare's effect on rural hospitals."
However, the Fox piece omits some very important information that puts the mayor's objections into context. As Milbank reports, his real objection is to his state's Republican leaders who refused to accept federal funds for Medicaid expansion.
Milbank: "If the governor and the legislature don't want to accept Medicaid expansion, they need to come up with another program to assure that rural hospitals don't close," the 45-year-old mayor said. Otherwise, he continued, "they're allowing people to die to prove a point. That is wrong, and I'm not going to be a party to that."
Fox: A North Carolina mayor on Sunday was just a few miles away from finishing his 273-mile walk to Washington to draw attention to the closing of his small town's local hospital and the plights of other rural facilities caught in financial bind created largely by ObamaCare, a changing economy and less federal funding. … The mayor and others argue that an increasing number of small, rural hospitals have been shuttered since ObamaCare was signed into law in 2012."
As far as I know, there's nothing factually wrong in either report. But by correlating the hospital closures with the passage of the ACA, Fox implies a direct causation that skips over the part where the state could have taken funds to keep the hospitals open, but didn't.
It is a form of manipulation I call "lying with the truth." The facts are correct, but the careful omissions and implied connections weave an implicit narrative that is not at all true.
Statistically SignificantPosted: July 16, 2014 Filed under: Media | Tags: statistics Leave a comment
Take a look at this story. Based on this article, you learn that there are a number of sentiments about bring-your-own-device, the concept of employees using their own smart phones tablets, etc., for work, prevalent in today's workforce. The study that reveals these attitudes focuses on security concerns.
A well-researched article based on a well-conducted study could provide valuable information and insight for managers to take action on.
But that's not what this is, despite appearances.
The first red flag is that the source of the information, a company called Webroot, just happens to provide the services that its survey says people need.
That isn't necessarily proof that the data is unreliable, but it should be a clue to look deeper. When you do, when you look at the actual survey, you find this detail all the way at the end: The two online surveys from which the conclusions are derived "are not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated."
What that means, essentially, is that there is no basis to extrapolate the results to the population in general. The percentages they report cannot be assumed to pertain to anyone beyond the small number that were surveyed.
If you're interested in a deeper understanding of probability sampling and why it's important, read this article.
You know, that guyPosted: July 8, 2014 Filed under: Media Leave a comment
We all know one, probably more than one: The person who lacks a filter, who can be counted on to blurt out some inappropriate comment at just the wrong time. The one who tells off-color jokes with no regard to whether the listeners are uncomfortable. The one who seems to have a minimal concept of boundaries or taste.
We all know them. We should know better than to hire them as editors.
Reporters vs. Content CreatorsPosted: May 28, 2014 Filed under: Media | Tags: crimea, kanye, kardashian, kimye Leave a comment
Most media outlets still call the people who write their articles "reporters," but they are also lumped in with others — graphic artists, photographers, videographers, etc. — as "content creators" generically.
If you listen to the never-ending chatter in newsrooms, you'll hear a lot of references to "content." While I get the need for a catch-all phrase when information comes in many forms and formats, I also think it blunts the nature of what journalists (another perfectly good catch-all that already existed) are supposed to do.
In short, the job's goal is to discover, confirm and report information that is some way revelatory and useful. "Content creation" suggests that any material that fills the requisite space in an entertaining — sellable — way is fine. Too often, that suggestion is the reality. This is why the wedding of two unremarkable celebrities passes as "news." (Kudos to the New York Post's takedown.)
I grant that news is not always entertaining. In fact, reading an article about Crimea or the U.S. trade deficit can be downright boring. But these things are also important, even if fewer people are interested.
The Press vs. The Policy at the 9/11 MuseumPosted: May 22, 2014 Filed under: Media | Tags: 9/11 Museum, freedom of the press, Gothamist, Jen Chung Leave a comment
You're on a tour of a museum which commemorates an event that was a national tragedy and outrage. A woman chirps merrily, distractingly, on a cell phone, provoking another to ask her to stop. Another woman steps up to ask what just happened between the first two women.
Which of the three women will the museum evict?
If you thought the chatty phone user would be shown the door, get real. This is America, where the right to disrupt any solemn moment with your unrelated, self-absorbed chatter is inviolable.
The one who spoke up, maybe? After all, she could have been construed as confrontational, maybe at risk of starting a fight. But nope, she's fine too.
No, the National 9/11 Museum in New York decided that Jen Chung, a reporter for Gothamist, should hit the bricks for daring to ask a question. Where does she think she is, America?
To be fair, the museum does have a policy that members of the press must get "prior written authorization" in order to conduct any newsgathering in the museum. Yet Chung was there on her own time, as a citizen. She asked the women what the problem because it had unfolded right in front of her.
In addition, not one but two security guards warned her to ask no more questions, after she made the mistake of identifying herself as a reporter, and to both of them she expressed understanding and agreement, and asked no more questions (according to her own account at least). Then she came out of the restroom and encountered a third guard who escorted her out of the building.
The 9/11 Museum is intended to be a somber place for quiet reflection, and while I think the media restrictions are not unreasonable, there is also the matter of common sense. After Chung agreed to refrain from questions, and followed through on that promise, making her leave was just vindictive.
Incidentally, the museum's rules also forbid distracting cell phone use. But Lady Chatterbox apparently suffered no repercussions.
What do you think, America?
Out of StylePosted: May 1, 2014 Filed under: Media | Tags: AP Style Leave a comment
A couple of items:
One: The Associated Press has revised its style for state names; they no longer will be abbreviated, except in datelines, political party designations and a couple of other special cases. (So instead of writing that John Jones is from Annandale, Va., we'll now write that he is from Annandale, Virginia.)
Two: McClatchy Tribune News Service says thanks, but we'll keep the old style.
I follow AP Style pretty scrupulously, and it is important for consistency. (That's the thing about style rules: It's almost never a matter of one choice being actually correct or incorrect; its purpose is to ensure that a publication makes the same choice consistently). I do sometimes wonder, after a discussion of a particular style matter, if most readers really care.

Heal the brain - Heal your body!
What is Brain-Based Therapy?
Brain-Based Therapy encompasses the latest in specific diagnosis and treatment of pain syndromes, insomnia and fatigue, digestion problems, migraines, fibromyalgia, cognition and behavior problems, balance disorders and general mental decline associated with aging.
These serious chronic conditions can now be evaluated in a viable model which clearly explains the cause and sheds light on effective treatment.
Brain-Based Therapy can increase the body's ability to heal itself by specifically diagnosing and reversing neurological impairment. Treatments are non-invasive, safe and do not rely on the use of medication to create changes in neuron activity. Neurons require 3 things to remain healthy: stimulation, proper oxygen levels and fuel nutrition; we evaluate and address all 3 of these factors in our programs.
The healthy brain consists of healthy neurons. It is impossible for the body to be healthy when the brain is not functioning properly.
How does the brain work and what symptoms occur when it isn't functioning properly?
The Cerebellum was once thought to only coordinate smooth movement of the body. It is now understood that it participates in many other vital functions. We now know if plays a vital role in keeping the cortex and brainstem healthy. The cerebellum is very important to evaluate when someone suffers from muscle, joint and bone problems because it maintains the proper tone of muscles and stability of joints. Decreased function of the cerebellum may lead to:
Brain Stem:
The Brain Stem regulates many functions, many of which fall under a large category referred to as autonomic function. The brain stem also contains groups of cells called the cranial nerves which are responsible for vision, eye movement, hearing, balance, taste, facial movement and sensation, etc. The brain stem is the region of the brain where many neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine are produced for the brain.
One of the most common problems encountered with the brain stem is that its upper portion, called the mesencephalon, is not properly controlled by the cerebellum and cortex and it starts to over-function. Over-function of the mesencephalon creates many health problems (see diagram below). Decreased function of the brainstem can lead to:
The cortex has too many functions to list here but one of the vital roles of the cortex is to keep the mesencephalon (part of the brain stem) from over-firing and spinning out of control. Other health problems associated with decreased cortex function include:
Summary of Brain-Based Therapy:
- The brain is dependent on sensory input from the body and the other parts of the brain itself to maintain a sufficient level of nerve activity. This is necessary for healthy brain and body function.
- The brain's ability to function is enhanced by increasing the frequency of firing to specific neurons. Neurons are like little muscles, the more they are simulated the healthier and stronger they become. Neurons also need proper levels of oxygen and fuel.
- Brain-Based Therapy concentrates on locating deficient pathways which are creating neurological imbalances. The neurological examination is designed to locate imbalances in the cerebellum, brain stem and cortex.
How a healthy brain works:
Heal the brain - heal your body!

What is the Church To Do?
This episode of The Mortification of Spin takes on a more serious tone as Todd and Carl offer a pastoral approach to the sensitive topic of spousal abuse. In tragic cases of abuse within the church, where does the dividing line between church discipline and civil law exist? Does abuse stand as justifiable, biblical grounds for divorce? During their thoughtful discussion, the hosts answer these questions and more, offer helpful book recommendations on this challenging topic, and (surprisingly) reveal what's right about feminism.

"William Wilson"
"The North Star" is the sixth episode of the fourth season of Boardwalk Empire, and the 42nd episode overall. It is scheduled to air on October 13, 2013.
After a cautious reunion with Margaret (Kelly Macdonald) in New York City, Nucky heads to Tampa to work out details of his land deal with Bill McCoy (Pearce Bunting) and reconnects with Sally Wheet (Patricia Arquette). Richard Harrow (Jack Huston) returns to Atlantic City and makes a confession to an ailing Paul Sagorsky (Mark Borkowsky), who encourages him to get over the past and return Julia (Wrenn Schmidt) and Tommy. Having lost J. Edgar Hoover's (Eric Ladin) confidence, Agent Knox finds a new way to gain Eli's (Shea Whigham) trust. Meyer Lansky (Anatol Yusef) decides to go it alone on the Tampa land deal when Lucky Luciano (Vincent Piazza) gets spooked by Vincenzo Petrucelli (Vincenzo Amato), an investor with ties to Joe Masseria (Ivo Nandi) in New York. Chalky (Michael Kenneth Williams) takes out his frustrations on Daughter Maitland (Margot Bingham).

Vampire Squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis)
Taxonomy: The Vampyroteuthis infernalis, literally translates to "vampire squid from hell" was first described in 1903 and was thought to be an octopus with eight arms. Subsequent sightings of it showed two additional arms were discovered tucking into pockets. It is currently, the only animal in the order Vampyromorphida, an order "in between" octopus and squid, mainly due to the addition of sensory filaments believed to be used for finding food in the deep sea.
Characteristics: V. infernalis is most commonly known for its jet-black skin, the "cape" webbed skin between the arms and eyes that appear blood red at times. It has excellent predator avoidance behavior, including the ability to invert itself, exposing suckers and cirri, making it look as though it is covered in spines. V. infernalis also has light organs on the tip of each arm and at the base of its fins. The animal will begin to glow and wiggle about while also expelling mucus containing "thousands of glowing spheres of blue bioluminescent light." While this mucus is being expelled, the vampire squid escapes.
Size: Average size for V. infernalis is between 25 – 30 cm (9-12 inches). For its size, the vampire squid has the largest eyes of any animal in the world; approximately the size of a wolf or full-grown dog.
Distribution and habitat: V. infernalis lives in the oxygen minimum layer (600-800 m depth) because it is highly effective at removing oxygen from the water due to a pigment that easily binds oxygen (hemocyanin). It also has a very low metabolic rate and high gill surface areas. Specimens have been collected from tropical and subtopical waters worldwide.

Mushrooms "Make their own wind" to spread spores
The wind is created by evaporating moisture off the surface of the mushroom. Evaporation creates dense cold air, which flows and spreads out, and water-vapor — which is less dense than air — giving its spores some lift to eventually be carried a few inches (~4 inches) away. This is important since many fungi don't grow tall enough to pass the very still air next to the ground called the "boundary layer". There are other methods of spore dispersal to get past this boundary layer, some launch their spores at high speeds like the Pilobolus…
…others may just use the wind or passing animals. Here is an example of a "puffball" spore dispersal as raindrops hit and release spores into the air.

Let's talk about Ruby..................
Can you tell about comparative discussion on
Ruby - PHP - Perl - Python ???
I want to know more about there advantages and disadvantages.
Ruby's sort of a mish-mash of Smalltalk, Perl and Python. It appeals mostly to Perl people who want to do more OO stuff. There's some interesting stuff in there like blocks, but I don't like it myself.
It claims that it's a full featured OOP language not just a scripting lang.
Then, does it similer to Java and going to be as popular as Java???
OOP languages and scripting languages are hardly mutually exclusive. FWIW, all their blustering about being full OO is sort of nil since the latest versions of Python, which except for a few expeceptions is as "fully OO" as Ruby.
No, Ruby will never be as popular as Java, because it doesn't have a marketing machine behind it among other things.
But though PHP is free it's gainnin popularity then why not Ruby ???
Because PHP is very good at what it does (database backed web sites) and has a high installed base across web hosts. Ruby is more of a general purpose programming language.Quote:

Ruby is gaining popularity and fast. Don't forget it languished in Japan for quite some time with a badly translated PDF version of a Japanese O'Reilly book as the only reference. Recently the book "Code Generation in Action" uses it and Martin Fowler is seriously considering using it for his next Enterprise Patterns book. I'm not saying it is going to displace any of the mainstream at the moment, but it has in no way fulfilled it's potential yet.Quote:

Also PHP has found a killer niche from which to grow outwards. In the same way Cobol has never disappeared, I doubt PHP will ever disappear either. Ruby could disappear if it does not find a foothold, but odds are it is a language worth learning.
yours, Marcus.
Then Macus!
Do you think Ruby will never get that rich library that Java or PHP has! Only just that it isn't using in the enterprize so largely ???
I am a new web programming and I was looking for a very good language that I'll learn and improve . I considered PHP, Perl, Ruby, Python and Java. Can you guys give a comparative suggesion to preceed on ?
I personally am not a Ruby fan. I enjoy using Python because I can move from full OOP to procedural easily and I am not tied to the OOP side of things (as with OOP).
I really believe when people look at languages they should look at their needs, preferences, and skillset. I may program Python but to you that may not be the best idea, who knows. You can't find it out until you've tried different things and figured out which one works best for you. Another thing to consider is the availability of the language you are wanting to use. If you are doing web programming, does this particular language cost more to host? Is it even installed on the servers I am looking at?
Research thoroughly the languages that you are interested in and choose the one that works best for you.
Thanks Hart!
Actually I have to develop a online programming contest system..........and after all of your opinions and from other forums threads......at last I concentrated on LAMP..........I think PHP/MySQL will do the job easily and faster than Java.
Any comments !!!
Well for an online programming contest system I think that PHP/MySQL is probably your best bet. You could also use ASP .NET (C#, VB .NET, etc.) but if you are comfortable with PHP/MySQL then you are set.
I think JSP/Java would be overkill for a system that you are talking about but that is my opinion and I am sure that redemption (member on these boards) would disagree.
Can you explain a little bit why :) !Quote:

Just as a side note. Java hasnt introduced anything great since its release of Servlets/JSP itself and already the design they recommend is very tedious and frustrating to implement.
Since nothing new has come out of the framework in the past few years, I really do believe that it will loose popularity. The speed of Java is very slow for todays applications. Yes it may be cross platform etc. but half the time that doesnt matter.
But as I know C/C++ I thought Java is the ultimate answer for any web based softwere!!!
Though PHP and others are very popular but to build any web based application from the ground up and to have full control over it.....Java is the solution :)
i almost laughed at that statement. anyways there is no ultimate answer to web development.Quote:
I thought Java is the ultimate answer for any web based softwere!!!
PHP/JSP/Servlets/ASP/ASP.NET all do the same thing in the long run. the real question is how do you want to get this done? if you want quick and dirty asp and PHP are your answer. if you want seperation of logic and presentation asp.net is your answer. if you want a structured but slow web application look at jsp/servlets. Just a side note look at http://www.neathosting.net/hartmann/netbenchmark.pdf (i am not trying to say .net is better, I am just trying to show what to expect when running java for a web app)
what you want to look at is the expenses of using .net vs java and how many lines of code of java vs c#.

Wolf Spider Babies Are Horrifying
A wolf spider may only grow to be an inch, but it has a unique way of being horrifying. Unlike humans whose babies can't even walk when they're born, baby spiders can crawl from day one. When wolf spiders hatch they climb up to the backside of their mother's abdomen where they hang out for a few weeks throwing raucous parties and generally acting belligerent. Freaky pictures and videos below.
Pictures of the spiderlings are mildly terrifying, but seeing them in motion can trigger bowel loosening. All those creepy crawly creatures sliding all over each other, hatching a plan to bite you as you sleep alone in your bed. Don't worry though, they're not poisonous and you're not sleeping alone, the spiders are there too. Crawling up your thigh. You're welcome!
First...The mother-to-be carries the egg around on its back like it is important or something.
Then...The cute little spiders hatch and introduce themselves to one another. Sometimes shaking hands.
And Finally...OMG! OMG! OMG!

2011 Skyscraper Competition
Lee dongjin, Park Jinkyu, Lee Jeongwoo
South Korea
In the last few years we have seen many projects for vertical agriculture but the Circular Symbiosis Tower is the first skyscraper that proposes a vertical farm for actual livestock. The main concept is to create a new habitat to raise cattle within the city. The skyscraper consists of spiraling platforms or grass fields where cows will be free to roam. After 30 days of habiting the same pasture they will rotate to the next level. At this point other animals like chickens will use the previous field until its grass has grown again. Transportation costs will be non-existent and the raised animals will have a better quality of life.
To commemorate the 9th Annual Skyscraper Competition, eVolo is publishing the Limited Edition Book "eVolo Skyscrapers 2" which is the follow-up to its highly acclaimed book "eVolo Skyscrapers". The 628-page book examines 150 projects received during the last years of the competition. Only 1000 copies are available worldwide.

April 17, 2006
Clay County-- Many Fort Gaine residents are shocked after an early morning fire destroyed what many of them say was an important piece of their community.
Now, investigators are looking for who started the fire, apparently to cover up something else.
People in the small town of Fort Gaines say they had to see it to believe it. "When me and my son came up, he was like oh my gosh Mom, the store is on fire. He said I just want to cry. It's like our own home," says Wanda Ferguson.
"Right now, I don't know whether I should cry or just stare at it because it is a valuable asset to the town," says Ryan Ferguson.
Along Hancock Street, cars stop to see what remains of the Dollar General Store, a store that many have come to depend on for the past few years.
"Everybody shopped there," says Ellen May.
"This is my first time seeing it, and it's just a shock that something like this could happen in Fort Gaines," says Natasha Johnson.
Those outside of Fort Gaines may see it as just another Dollar Store but for residents like Wanda and Ryan Ferguson, it means much more. "Actually it's our Wal-mart for Fort Gaines," says Wanda. "If we had a Wal-mart, that would probably give one a run for its money because everybody is always there," says Ryan.
Now, the store is all but gone. Broken glass and debris surrounds the Dollar General. The once bright, yellow and black sign is now melted away to the ground beneath it.
"Well, it's a tragedy for Fort Gaines," says Ellen May. A tragedy that was no accident. Investigators say it's arson to cover up another crime.
"That's terrible. I hate to hear that, that somebody would do something like that," says May. At about 4 a.m the store was broken into and a safe was stolen. GBI and local police now look for clues as to who may have committed arson.
"I hope they go to jail," says Johnson.
Loyal shoppers say they'll miss their local one-stop shop but the main sign that still remains serves as hope that it will soon return.
Firefighters from all surrounding counties including Randolph and Early and even Alabama counties responded to the blaze. With so many firefighters on the scene, they say thankfully no one was hurt.

It is the Ego...Pride and total nonsense.Everyone wants to be controlling in the name of the god and the religious leaders add fuel to the fire. People who claim they are fighting in the Name of God are the ones who have the audacity to say they know what God is thinking and that God is on their side. They do this to get the material things they want in this world. God does not take sides in wars. Humans were given the free will to follow God's ways or to do as they please. God loves everyone and if we love God, we will love everyone also. Nobody has clearly understood what their holy books are preaching.

New Delhi: In view of the prevailing heat wave in the capital, the Delhi government on Sunday extended the summer vacation of city schools by one more week.
All government schools and majority of private schools were scheduled to reopen on Monday but now they will reopen on July 9.
