Serendipitous Twist May Provide Solution for Colony Collapse Disorder.
An "absent minded professor" from San Francisco State University may have stumbled upon the cause of the calamitous colony collapse disorder that has threatened bee colonies in the United States and elsewhere. Biology professor John Hafernik had collected dead bees in a vial and intended to investigate their demise when he absent-mindedly left the vial on his desk for a period of time. When he finally got around to re-examining them, he saw that the bee bodies were covered with pupae from a parasitic fly. Apparently, the fly lays eggs on the bodies of bees, which turns the bees into fly nurseries, killing the host in the process. Now researchers have found evidence of this parasitic fly in almost 80% of the bees hives in California's Bay area.

Teaching Whooping Cranes to Migrate.
Operation Migration is an effort by a private/governmental organization to reestablish a "flyway" for whooping cranes between Wisconsin and Florida. This migratory flyway has not been used by the cranes for since the 1800's, when the population of cranes that used it died off. With only one other flock of cranes left (which use a different flyway) the operation is intended to ensure that at least one flock of the remaining Whooping Cranes will survive. Using the principle of imprinting, humans dressed as whooping cranes are the first thing young cranes see when hatch. The cranes then follow the human crane parents, who use a small plane that also resembles a crane. The birds then follow the plane along the intended flyway, thus teaching them a new route for migration. Unfortunately, the operation was temporarily suspended when it was revealed that the pilot lacked a commercial pilot's license, which is necessary because he was paid by the group.

New Species of Extremophiles Discovered in Much Hotter Than Boiling Water.
Several new species of marine creatures discovered miles beneath the sea in the Caribbean are stranger than easily imagined. The fact that the creatures thrive in temperatures that are multiples of the boiling point of water is difficult to explain or comprehend. However, this gallery of photos is guaranteed to impress.

Permian Extinction May Have Been An Acid Soup.
Teams of scientists from MIT, Washington State University and the University of Iowa, have been exploring a theory that ties the Permian extinction event to volcanism in the Siberian Traps — a highly volcanic region of Siberia. The Permian extinction was earth's most severe, wiping out some 90% of marine species and some 70% of terrestrial species. So far, the results indicate that huge amounts of sulfur, chlorine and fluorine (all capable of creating destructive acids) were released toward the end of the Permian extinction event. Whether this association will prove to be a causal factor in the extinctions awaits further research.

Subterranean Worm Eater – Rare Carnivorous Plant Species.
Anyone with a lawn knows that insects can eat plant roots. However, scientists in Brazil have found a plant, Philcoxia minensis, that gets its nutrients by attacking worms below the ground. In this case, most of the plant's leaves grow beneath the surface where they attach themselves to small worms. Scientists were led to the plant's unusual feeding technique when they questioned why evolution would favor subterranean leaves that could not conduct photosynthesis. They soon realized that the leaves had adapted to a different purpose – drawing nutrients from worms.

Extinct Or Just Hiding?
A species of tortoise, C. elephantopus, from the Galapagos Islands had been considered extinct since the 19th century. However, bones collected from tortoise remains and kept in museums were recently analyzed for DNA. The result has surprised scientists. The DNA of C. elephantopus has been found in the bones of these other tortoises. That means they are hybrids and must have bred with C. elephantopus over the past 15 years. Given the long lifespan of these tortoises, up to 100 years, there is hope that future expeditions can locate a surviving C. elephantopus individual.

Please Don't Feed the Sharks.
Tourists enjoy close encounters with sharks, as long as they are not too close. In the Philippines, it has become common practice to throw food to whale sharks so that they come to the water's surface and impress the tourists. In an article in Global Animal, the author explains why this practice may be far more threatening to the sharks than to the tourists. Among other reasons, habituating sharks to free meals makes them more likely to intentionally interact with large boats and the results can be deadly for the sharks.
Can Lizards Outsmart Global Warming?
The effect of rising temperatures on lizards has been a source of concern for some time. However, a recent study from scientists at the University of Sydney suggests that warmer incubation environments seem to result in smarter, more adaptable lizards. Compared with lizards raised in normal temperatures, the lizards which were raised in higher temperature environments had an enhanced ability to escape predators and to learn from experience. However, the scientists do not suggest that this enhanced cognitive functioning, derived from warmer incubation, can outpace the damage done to lizards from overall higher global temperatures.

Deer-Killing Disease Hits Montana.
A disease called epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD, has killed an unusually large number of white-tailed deer this year in Montana. The disease is spread by biting insects – midges — and an animal can succumb to the resulting internal bleeding in just a few days. The outbreak is blamed on a warmer than average fall season, which caused the transmitting insects to thrive for longer than usual, and a harsh winter, which culled a large number of deer. While deer are losers, there are also winners. Cottonwood trees, long decimated by huge deer populations, now will most likely thrive with a greatly reduced deer population.

Think Traffic Is Bad Now – You Should Have Seen the "Dinosaur Freeway."
Around 100 million years ago, an area stretching from around Boulder, Colorado to central New Mexico formed a wet coastal plain ideal for dinosaurs and crocodiles. So many dinosaur footprint fossils have been recovered from this area, that it has been dubbed a dinosaur freeway. The dinosaurs using this route traveled in herds and were probably migrating to new food sources.

Problems for an Anthropology Major:
We're on the quarter system at UCSC and three courses a quarter is considered a full load. That is 15 units a quarter and I still have two GEs I need to finish. However, there are 20 available undergraduate anthropology courses, 18 of which I would love to take. Why can't I just have an unlimited amount of time and energy at my disposal so I can take all the classes. It's only October and I really should focus on making it through my current classes, but my impatience knows no bounds.
Seriously, listen to these class titles and tell me you aren't tempted:
- India and Indian Diaspora through Film
- Religion in American Politics and Culture
- Human Paleopathology
- Evolution of Sex
- African Archaeology
- Ethnography of Brazil
- Indigenous Visual Culture
- Ethnographies of Capitalism
- Performance and Power
- Gender and Development
And the list goes on. The Anthropology professors at UCSC are amazing.

Crystal structure of human Senp2 in complex with RanGAP1-SUMO-1
SUMO processing and deconjugation are essential proteolytic activities for nuclear metabolism and cell-cycle progression in yeast and higher eukaryotes. To elucidate the mechanisms used during substrate lysine deconjugation, SUMO isoform processing and SUMO isoform interactions, X-ray structures were determined for a catalytically inert SENP2 protease domain in complex with conjugated RanGAP1-SUMO-1 or RanGAP1-SUMO-2, or in complex with SUMO-2 or SUMO-3 precursors. Common features within the active site include a 90 degrees kink proximal to the scissile bond that forces C-terminal amino acid residues or the lysine side chain toward a protease surface that appears optimized for lysine deconjugation. Analysis of this surface reveals SENP2 residues, particularly Met497, that mediate, and in some instances reverse, in vitro substrate specificity. Mutational analysis and biochemistry provide a mechanism for SENP2 substrate preferences that explains why SENP2 catalyzes SUMO deconjugation more efficiently than processing.
Structural basis for SENP2 protease interactions with SUMO precursors and conjugated substrates., Reverter D, Lima CD, Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2006 Dec;13(12):1060-8. Epub 2006 Nov 12. PMID:17099700

[SUMO1_HUMAN] Defects in SUMO1 are the cause of non-syndromic orofacial cleft type 10 (OFC10) [MIM:613705]; also called non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate 10. OFC10 is a birth defect consisting of cleft lips with or without cleft palate. Cleft lips are associated with cleft palate in two-third of cases. A cleft lip can occur on one or both sides and range in severity from a simple notch in the upper lip to a complete opening in the lip extending into the floor of the nostril and involving the upper gum. Note=A chromosomal aberation involving SUMO1 is the cause of OFC10. Translocation t(2;8)(q33.1;q24.3). The breakpoint occurred in the SUMO1 gene and resulted in haploinsufficiency confirmed by protein assays.[1]

Covalent attachment via an isopeptide bond to its substrates requires prior activation by the E1 complex SAE1-SAE2 and linkage to the E2 enzyme UBE2I, and can be promoted by E3 ligases such as PIAS1-4, RANBP2 or CBX4. This post-translational modification on lysine residues of proteins plays a crucial role in a number of cellular processes such as nuclear transport, DNA replication and repair, mitosis and signal transduction. Involved for instance in targeting RANGAP1 to the nuclear pore complex protein RANBP2. Polymeric SUMO1 chains are also susceptible to polyubiquitination which functions as a signal for proteasomal degradation of modified proteins. May also regulate a network of genes involved in palate development.[4][5][6][7]

Bollywood star to face new trial in 2002 case
NEW DELHI (AP) - Indian movie star Salman Khan will face a fresh trial on a homicide charge for a fatal road accident more than 11 years ago.
Police said that Khan drove his car into a group of people sleeping on a Mumbai sidewalk in September 2002, killing one and injuring four.
The actor was on trial for a lesser offense of causing death by negligence, which carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison. However, after a magistrate in Mumbai heard the evidence, he invoked the more serious charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder against the actor in February.
Khan could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted of culpable homicide. He also faces charges of negligent driving and causing grievous hurt to the victims.
Khan has pleaded not guilty to the charges and sought a fresh trial, which Judge D. W. Deshpande granted Thursday. The judge said that all the witnesses would be re-examined.
The pre-trial is set for Dec. 23.
"These are far more serious charges, so there should be a fair opportunity (for Khan) to defend himself," his lawyer, Shrikant Shivade, said.
Khan, one of Bollywood's most popular stars, has acted in about 90 Hindi-language films in his 25-year career.
Indian courts are notorious for delays and a trial can take years to complete.

Small Space Organizing
I am an older woman who lives with my son and daughter-in-law. I am also blind. I've had to learn to deal with the blindness and I also have to put quite a bit in a relatively small amount of space. I bought 3 book shelves of varying sizes that occupy my bedroom, and the walk-in closet. I have different sized and shaped baskets that sit on the shelves with bath supplies, cleaning supplies, spices, my medications, important papers, first aid supplies, etc. Each basket has a Braille label under it so that I know what is in the basket. Since I'm home, quite frequently, by myself, this makes getting things done and staying organized much simpler. You don't have to be blind for this organization trick to work. It's a great way to organize a child's room, or a home office.

Reading my first eBook on my Palm
Few weeks ago I bought a Palm T|X mainly because I needed an agenda and contact book for on the road. The T|X has Wifi, Bluetooth, SD and a big screen, very nice device.
Last Thursday I decided I wanted to read Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. It was evening, no shops open and .. I could not wait! I looked at my Palm, I looked at my PowerBook: eBooks! I went to a website selling them, registering, buying, a bit waiting: et voila! I was reading within a good hour!
Books smell, they are magical in your hands, it's easier to read.. Blah blah. Reading from my PDA I didn't miss the paper book at all. It's just a state of mind. The biggest problem is that you have to charge your device from time to time.
After reading 3 or 4 days, the Sangreal has been found and I stick with eBooks for a while now.
Btw, I think I liked Angles and Demons a bit more. Da Vinci Code just had a more catchy name for basically the same kind of story.

The on-campus and online colleges available to you at U.S. News University Directory offer an immense variety of educational options. You can advance your career goals with a degree in art and design, business degree, criminal justice programs, education and teaching degree, engineering program, degree in healthcare, human services program, legal and paralegal degree, liberal arts degree, nursing degree, political science program, science program, or technology degree. Remember that in times of economic uncertainty, those with advanced degrees and certifications seldom have to worry about job security. When the unemployment rate reached 6.7% in November of 2008, the rate for people with a bachelor's degree or higher was only 3.1% – less than half the national average.
Both traditional and online university degrees should come from an accredited educational institution. The exceptional reputation of U.S. News & World Report means that you can trust in the quality and value of the programs offered here; the vast majority of educational institutions presented at U.S. News University Directory are accredited by one of the six regional United States accrediting agencies. The only schools that are not so accredited are those for which regional accreditation is not typically expected, such as most vocational and technical schools. Instead, these institutions are usually accredited by a national, field-specific accrediting body.
Whether studying online or on-campus, many students qualify for financial aid. Depending on your area of study, educational institution, and financial circumstances a variety of grants and scholarships may be available to you. Student loans are also an option for most students. Both active-duty military service members and veterans can take advantage of the Montgomery G.I. Bill or the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill (including the new Yellow Ribbon Program). Your advisor will help you research and apply for financial aid.

Ting, ting. Round three of Conrad Black V the British media.
After a pretty effective take-down of Newsnight's Jeremy Paxman on Monday ("You're a priggish, gullible, British fool") and then Sky's Adam Boulton a day later ("stop being a jackass"), they came mob-handed.
Friday's Have I Got News For You promised so much, with Lord Black going at it toe-to-toe with Ian Hislop and Paul Merton. Sadly those expecting sparks to fly were disappointed.
He just didn't bite.
Ian Hislop had a good go, although he did wait 10 minutes before getting a pop in, and when he did get started he looked very much like a man in a pub being held back by his mates.
His haranguing of Lord Black for being a convicted criminal simply earned him a mild rebuke for being "a banana". Hardly slings and arrows of outrageousness.
Hislop's return put-down was smart enough: "You've come here to say you're innocent, which is sweet but not true."
The replay of the Jeremy Paxman Newsnight interview in which Lord Black threatened to "smash" the presenters "face in" gave way to one of Lord Black's better lines: "I like Jeremy, he's just an asshole."
Cue astonishment from Hislop, who came at him again: "It's unbelievable that you can get away with that. The man is asking you questions about being a criminal and you call him an asshole."
But again Lord Black didn't really rise and Hislop didn't particularly land a punch.
Other than that it was dig after dig, in the main from the host Alexander Armstrong. Paul Merton, who was on Lord Black's team, didn't get involved. Neither did Hislop's partner, the columnist Victoria Coren.
There was always going to be a Citizen Kane gag, so it was no surprise when Orson Welles turned up in the odd-one-out section. Still, it was a nicely delivered line from Armstrong. "Yes, he played Charles Foster Kane, a power crazed multi-millionaire newspaper tycoon who faces a humiliating demise on account of his own greed." Much laughter.
Lord Black sat politely and took the ribbing in good spirit. The arena of a light-hearted studio news quiz didn't really bring out the best in the former owner of the Daily Telegraph, who clearly preferred a more combative setting.
Have I Got News For You failed to deliver the Friday night punch-up it had promised, and while pretty funny in places, it was not a patch on the Paxman/Boulton interviews from earlier in the week.

September 2014 Horoscope
A Full Moon in gentle Pisces on September 8 will encourage you to dream big this month. The good news is that with the support of stable Saturn, it's possible to provide a solid foundation to any "pie in the sky" desire you have during this time. Yes, this appears to be a wish-fulfillment Full Moon, so don't waste it!After September 13, you might become sassier than usual. Mars will move into Sagittarius -- the most righteous Fire sign -- and remains there until October 26. During these weeks you'll fight assertively for what you believe in, and for what is right and moral.The only caveat is that your motivation to do this is strictly connected to what your opinion of decency is.

Pinellas County Sheriff's Police Athletic League (PAL)
"The dressbarn" – women's fashion store
The "To Mom With Love" program
Sponsored by "dressbarn" with PAL
What: The Pinellas County Sheriff's PAL and "dressbarn" are working together here to help make this year's Mother's Day special. The group of children and volunteers from the Pinellas County Sheriff's PAL will visit the "dressbarn" at the Largo Mall, 10500 Ulmerton Road, Largo, at 7:00 p.m. on May 10th to shop for that special Mother's Day gift. The partnership is called the "To Mom With Love" program.
Where: The children and volunteers from PAL will shop at the "dressbarn" located at the Largo Mall, 10500 Ulmerton Rd., Largo.
When: Children will shop for their mothers on Thursday, May 10, 2012, at 7:00 p.m.
A number of local mothers will be given an unexpected treat of a new dress or skirt or pair of shoes this Mother's Day.
The "To Mom, with Love" program will bring hundreds of children into local "dressbarn" stores across the country where they will be given $50 gift cards to shop for their mothers.
Locally, 10 children from the Pinellas Sheriff's PAL program will have the chance to shop for their mothers, and make Mother's Day special for them. Each child will have a $50 gift certificate.
"This Mother's Day, we're working to make it possible for families that otherwise may not be able to afford a gift, and to recognize the hard work, sacrifice and unique contributions that every mom makes to a home," said Vivian Behrens, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer at "dressbarn". "It's a great program that helps honor someone who too often goes overlooked."
"We are excited to work with "dressbarn" on this first 'To Mom, With Love' program to benefit families in our area," said Jerry Babcock, Director of the Pinellas County Sheriff's PAL. "Most of our kids don't have the resources to buy their mother a gift for Mother's Day, so this will be such a great day for the kids, their moms and our volunteers."
For further information, contact the Sheriff's Public Information Office, 727-582-6221.

Heterochromia (also known as a heterochromia iridis or heterochromia iridium) is an ocular condition in which one iris is a different color from the other iris (complete heterochromia), or where the part of one iris is a different color from the remainder (partial heterochromia or sectoral heterochromia). It is a result of the relative excess or lack of pigment within an iris or part of an iris, which may be inherited or acquired by disease or injury. This uncommon condition usually results due to uneven melanin content. A number of causes are responsible, including genetic, such as chimerism, Horners Syndrome and Waardenburg syndrome.

Aero Vodochody pushes L159 sales
Aero Vodochody is demonstrating its L-159B advanced jet trainer at Dubai 2005 in a dynamic flight display, nurturing continuing hopes of sales in the region.
Vaclav Miskovsky, v-p marketing and sales of the Czech Republic manufacturer, revealed to Aviation International News that the L-159B is being offered to potential customers at a price "between 25 percent and 30 percent less than the [BAE Systems] Hawk." Sales hopes for the L-159B are pinned on replacing the many L-39 and L-59 jet trainers still in service with countries that include Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco. Other targets include the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Pakistan and Greece.
Besides low purchase and operating costs, features being campaigned for the aircraft include a rugged landing gear for unpaved airstrips, short takeoff ability and "better good hot-and-high performance than the Hawk, thanks to a bigger, high-lift wing," said Miskovsky.
The L-159 is being flown at the show by Miroslav Schutzner, who puts the aircraft through a routine including high-g maneuvers, low-speed controllability and a hammerhead stall at the top of its climb.
The L-159 is NATO-compatible and can be equipped with the same armament as the Western F-16 or F-18 fighters, including laser-guided bombs and missiles. The company said recent NATO exercises the aircraft "regularly defeated supersonic aircraft of simulated adversaries."

The German automaker Volkswagen stuck a chord with long time enthusiasts when they brought back the classic Scirocco sports coupe, and it is no wonder because the car features a sleeker shape than the hot hatch GTI and an even sportier front end. The only thing that the GTI has on the new Scirocco is its wonderful 2.0 Liter turbocharged four cylinder engine. However that is going to change soon because VW is going to equip both the new Scirocco and Eos with the same 210 HP TSI power plant that will bring the Sky Rocket's 0 to 60 MPH sprint down to just 6.9 seconds, however we aren't sure if it will make the new Scirocco get to the U.S. any faster.
Press release after the jump.
Press release
The Golf GTI's well-known TSI engine with 2.0-litre displacement and 155 kW / 210 PS is now also available for the Scirocco and Eos. The greatest advantage: the engine, which replaces the previous top class engine, the 2.0 TSI (147 kW / 200 PS), reduces fuel consumption by up to nine percent.
The high-rev engine fulfils the EU5 emission standard and consumes a mere 7.4 litres per 100 kilometres (Eos: 7.2 litres / 100 km). Thus increased performance translates to lower fuel consumption: for the Scirocco, the fuel consumption decrease is up to five percent. In the Eos, the reduction is even more considerable: up to nine percent. In both vehicles, a torque of 280 newton metres is available between 1700 and 5000 rpm. The Scirocco can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds; the Eos requires just 7.8 seconds.
Both vehicles offer the choice between the standard 6-speed manual gearbox and the optional dual clutch gearbox (DSG). The cost of ownership for the Scirocco starts at 26,050 euros and for the Eos at 31,975 euros.

I bought these magnificent vanilla beans at Costco and after talking to my friend Stephanie, I decided to take a few of them to make vanilla extract. We had both read a post back in September from Bake at 350 on how to make your own vanilla extract with vodka. I wanted to change it up a bit and do mine with bourbon like my favorite Nielsen-Massey varieties. Luckily Dave is a bourbon fan, so I raided his stash and asked his advice for a good one and went to work.
It couldn't be easier!
Take three vanilla beans, cut down the length of the vanilla bean {but not through} and put in a clean jar or bottle. Cover with bourbon and tuck away in a dark place for 2-3 months.
The vanilla pods will release their seeds and the bourbon will get darker and absorb the scent and flavor. Give it a shake every once in awhile. Use just as you would vanilla extract.

Blogging here has me totally spoiled. Not only is it so much easier to use than any other platform (and honestly, more fun), people here are actually allowed to say how they feel about things.
If every time someone wrote something snarky about me, or omg, disagreed with me on Tumblr, I rallied all my friends against them and tweeted about how much it makes me *roll my eyes*… I'd probably go crazy. Because, really? What is the point? Shake it off. We're all grown ups here.
Apparently there are places on the internet that are nothing but encouraging words and sunshine and blogger-worship. I'm not used to these sort of places and I'm not sure I want to be a part of them.
I'll take Tumblr, flaws and all, as long as I can speak my mind.
and then moving on to tonight's episode which was on dvr.
i love skipping commercials.
Something I just said to someone that made the situation GET REAL (via sade)
obviously if that doesn't work we'll just go ahead and cut a bitch. AMIRITE
From the new cookbook by David Chang comes this, the most salivating side dish at his signature restaurant
For brine:
- 1 cup very hot tap water
- 1/2 cup rice-wine vinegar
- 6 tbsp sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- (Optional: 1 tsp coriander seeds)
For veggies:
- 2 lbs whole baby carrots, scrubbed, peeled, and trimmed
- 3 bulbs fennel
Pack carrots (for larger ones, cut them length-wise, so they are snack size) and fennel (core and cut into 1/8-inch strips) into mason jars or 1-qt plastic containers, cover with brine, close lid, and refrigerate. They'll be ready in four days. Most will keep for up to a month.

SUNY Upstate celebrates Sarah Loguen Fraser Day with lecture on disparities in medicine Jan. 19
SYRACUSE, N.Y.- SUNY Upstate Medical University will celebrate the birthday of one of its most famous alumna, Sarah Loguen Fraser, M.D., with a public presentation on disparities in medicine Wednesday, Jan. 19 at noon in Medical Alumni Auditorium of Weiskotten Hall, 766 Irving Ave. A reception will immediately follow the presentation.
Loguen Fraser, became one the first African American women physicians when she earned her medical degree in 1876 from Syracuse University College of Medicine, which is now SUNY Upstate Medical University.
In honor of Sarah Loguen Fraser Day, Crystal F. Simpson, M.D., MHS., assistant professor of geriatric medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, will discuss disparities in medicine.
"As Loguen Fraser did in her day, Simpson serves as an outstanding role model for all women, especially women from underrepresented populations," said Susan Stearns, Ph.D., associate professor of cell and developmental biology, who serves as co-coordinator of the Sarah Loguen Day celebration.
Simpson has presented widely on cultural diversity in the medical profession and has played a key role in providing students from diverse backgrounds learning opportunities in geriatrics and gerontology.
Sarah Loguen Day is sponsored by the SUNY Upstate's Office of Multicultural Student Resources. For more information, call 464-8577.

"Sure I'm not in super shape, because this isn't my job, the way the Tour was. And I suppose I didn't train sufficiently for a marathon. But when I had 3 miles to go, even though I knew I had a chance for a sub-3-hour race, which was my goal, I was so tired I just didn't care. If you had told me I was going to finish in 3:05, I would have said, 'So what?' I don't care."
Armstrong had plenty of help on the course, including pacers Alberto Salazar, the irrepressible German Silva, Joan Samuelson, and Hicham El Guerrouj. "My job was to take him out at about 7 minute pace," said Salazar. "I guess I didn't do it very well. We were about 67:45 at 10 miles, and some of the miles were all the way down to 6:36."

Jacob and Miller had an ordinary life. At least they did before they found out that their mother was the Matriarch, the world's greatest supervillain, on the night of her death.

This image of birch trees on a winter night was created by a second-grader, Benicio Avila of Lewiston, who goes to Orchards Elementary School. It's been selected as the grand prize winner in the State Department of Education's 2012 Holiday Card Contest, and will be featured on cards sent to schools, districts and others; the young artist also will receive a certificate and copies of the greeting card to share with family and friends. "We are so proud of Benicio Avila for being selected as the statewide holiday art contest winner," said Joy Rapp, Superintendent of the Lewiston School District. "His artwork is unique, and he has already developed his own style. His card is an amazing example of art work as a creative form of expression."
Here's a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) ― An Idaho judge says the heirs of artist James Castle are the rightful owners of drawings found in the ceiling of his former home. The Idaho Statesman reports 4th District Judge Deborah Bail ruled Friday that Jeannie Schmidt of Boise must turn over the art she found in her home along with $120,000 she received from selling three pieces while the ownership was being disputed. Bail's ruling says under Idaho law, identifiable mislaid property belongs to the owner or his heirs. Castle's descendants sued Schmidt for about 150 pieces of art and 30 books Castle hid as early as the 1930s. Schmidt argued Castle's nieces told her any artwork she found was hers when she bought the house in 1996. Castle's drawings were made with a sharpened stick dipped in soot and saliva.
"Finders, Keepers" is a playground chant, not a legal doctrine," Bail wrote in her ruling Friday, reports Idaho Statesman reporter Patrick Orr. "In Idaho, the person entitled to identifiable mislaid property is the owner and his or her heirs, not the finder." You can read Orr's full report here.

DoublePlusGood // "Falls Apart"
I didn't really intend on doing another post today but the opportunity presented itself and I found myself absolutely loving the places that this track takes me.
This single called "Falls Apart" by Portland band DoublePlusGood is definitely a departure from the usual weirdo noise that dominates my blog posts, but there is something inherently wonderful in this track. Its production is so clean and the danceable tribal groove is nothing to sneeze at, but what really grabbed me here was actually the melody. There is something very comforting about it; almost familiar in a way. The moments when the music quiets itself and allows the slightly falsetto vocals to be the single driving force are nothing short of magical.
The album Here They Come, The Birds of My Youth is out on SoHiTek Records.

PREY VENG PROVINCE – As part of the "LG Hope Family" three-year collaboration with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) which started in 2011, the LG Group officially visited Cambodia for the first time in March.
Under this collaboration, LG is providing generous support to WFP's Food-for-Assets (FFA) programmes which is implemented to address the annual "hunger gap" during the lean season.
After the plantation period, while waiting for harvests, WFP FFA programmes provide food assistance as incentive for poor farmers to rebuild or rehabilitate their community assets such as roads, irrigation canals and ponds that can contribute to the productivity of the villagers. These assets also link communities to markets, schools and health centres and help protect against the effects of climate change through the development of disaster-resilient infrastructure.
Speaking with the villagers who say that the roads connected their community to the nearest market and contributed to their incomes, Kim responds encouragingly, "I grew up in a Korea where I had to walk 19km to school and have seen Korea progress drastically since. We are now in a place to help and support Cambodia as we can relate to the situation of many communities here".
In the first year of the partnership, thanks to LG's contribution, WFP Cambodia was able to assist 3,305 families – 900 of which were female-headed households – from 33 villages who worked together to rehabilitate 29km of roads, 22km of canals and 31 family ponds.
Before leaving, Kim gave the children a very important message. "Dream big! I was a very poor boy like you when I was a kid but I had dream and it helped me to reach where I am now", he says with a knowing smile.

Does this sound familiar?
It's Monday morning. 10am.
You're sitting in your cubicle, wearing one of your many identical pairs of business-casual black pants that you really don't want to be wearing, with an extra cardigan or jacket on the back of your chair, and a desk drawer filled with Quaker Oats instant oatmeal, a half-eaten bag of trail mix, protein bars, and a secret stash of M&Ms.
You're making plenty of money, but all that excites you about your day is quittin' time.
That's when you go home to your DVR to catch up on OWN shows for inspiration, and then move on to Bravo for escape — only to find yourself jealous of every Housewife with her own line of handbags or shape wear.
How'd she find her "passion" or "purpose" when you, just as smart or smarter, can't find yours?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Italian villages located in Umbria, see Passaggio (Bettona) and Passaggio di Assisi.
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (February 2014)
Passaggio is a term used in classical singing to describe the pitch ranges in which vocal registration events occur. Beneath passaggio is the chest voice where any singer can produce a powerful sound, and above it lies the head voice, where a powerful and resonant sound is accessible, but usually only through training. The historic Italian school of singing describes a primo passaggio and a secondo passaggio connected through a zona di passaggio in both the male and female voice. A major goal of classical voice training in classical styles is to maintain an even timbre throughout the passaggio. Through proper training, it is possible to produce a resonant and powerful sound.

I started this blog to report on the work of Alzheimer's scientists, but I keep running into the work of another group. This loosely connected collection of historians, social workers, people with memory loss and others is focused on recognizing that persons with memory loss are valuable members of society. I guess it's not surprising that this group often takes a larger view of Alzheimer's and dementia.
Michael Verde is definitely someone who thinks about the big picture. He is the founder and President of Memory Bridge, a Chicago-based foundation working to connect people who have Alzheimer's with family, friends and community. Two of his grandparents had dementia.
Since its beginnings in 2004, Memory Bridge has produced the PBS documentary There Is a Bridge, developed a program partnering junior high and high school students with people with Alzheimer's, created an interview guide for cognitively impaired participants in the Veteran's History Project and launched an art exhibit containing maps of the lives of people with Alzheimer's.

--AB InBev, Heineken operate virtual duopoly in Mexico
--Mexico is the world's fifth-biggest beer market
--SABMiller studying options after settlement
By Amy Guthrie
MEXICO CITY--SABMiller PLC (SAB.LN, SBMRY), the world's second-largest brewer by sales, said Friday the resolution on the use of sales exclusivities in the large Mexican beer market "did not go far enough" to materially change conditions for access and really stoke competition.
Mexico's Federal Competition Commission stopped short of prohibiting the contracts entirely, reaching an agreement with top brewers Anheuser-Busch InBev NV's (BUD) Grupo Modelo unit and Heineken NV's (HEIA.AE, HEINY) Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma to limit their use of exclusivity contracts to 25% of points of sale, and to reduce that number to 20% within five years.
When exclusivity deals are extensive, they can act as "barriers to market entry for other competitors," the antitrust authority said in a statement Thursday.
The Mexican beer market is the world's fifth biggest by volume sales, according to Euromonitor. It is also a virtual duopoly, with Modelo brands like Corona claiming about 58% of the 67 million hectoliters (1.77 billion gallons) of beer sold here each year, while Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc brands like Tecate account for 41%.
SABMiller lodged a complaint with the Mexican antitrust authority in 2010, alleging the two big brewers lock up much of the market with exclusive contracts. The London-based company called the regulator's acknowledgement that retailer exclusivities can impede competition "an important and positive step."
"Unfortunately, the [antitrust authority] found it appropriate to still allow exclusivities and, surprisingly, allowed continued discrimination against Miller's brands," Armando Valenzuela, head of SABMiller's Mexican operations, said in the statement. He added that the company will determine its appropriate response "in due course."
SABMiller views the commitments made by AB Inbev and Heineken as limited by several significant exclusions, which make it possible to restrict access to retailers in important geographic regions. Given that some retailers are very large and many others very small, "it will be possible to restrict beer sales to a much greater extent than reflected in the exclusivity commitments, and therefore the existing anti-competitive situation will be allowed to persist," SABMiller said.
Miguel Flores, the lone antitrust commissioner to vote against the settlement, expressed similar concerns, saying that by allowing exclusivities to continue, the brewers can cherry-pick their most important sales points for the deals, thus reducing space for competition in their top territories.
Mexico is Heineken's largest market, accounting for about 16% of sales, and it represents about 13% of AB InBev's pro forma sales, according to Credit Suisse calculations. Credit Suisse described the antitrust deal as "not that harsh" for the big brewers, while Nomura Securities analyst Ian Shackleton said it should have minimal impact on the two brewers' profit pools in Mexico.
About half the beer sold in Mexico each year is channeled through small mom-and-pop convenience stores, many of which agree to sell only one of the two brewers' brands in exchange for beer-logo awnings, signs or refrigerators, as well as discounts on beer purchases, credit or assistance with local permits.
Such agreements can make the Mexican retail chain more efficient, for instance by supplying small businesses with financing for improvements and expansion, the Federal Competition Commission said Thursday.
Mr. Flores, however, argued the beer companies could have continued to provide marketing and other financial support to small businesses without exclusivities, as happened when the antitrust body forbade similar exclusivities years ago by a soft-drink company.
Abigail Ordonez, manager of a taco joint in the posh Polanco neighborhood that only stocks Modelo beers in exchange for use of a Corona-branded refrigerator, said she'd like to expand her beer offerings, but "they threaten to take away the fridge if you bring in another beer." Most of her restaurant's marketing support comes from Coca-Cola Co. (KO), which supplies Coke-branded uniforms and chairs.
Restaurants and bars account for about 15% of beer sales in Mexico, and craft brewers say the watering holes represent the ideal entry point for their beers. Almost all of those establishments only carry brands from one of the big two brewers.
The antitrust settlement stipulates AB InBev and Heineken shouldn't block micro-brewers from bars and restaurants where the brewers have exclusive pouring rights, but SABMiller said importers like itself can still be shut out of those accounts.
Jesus Briseno, founder of craft brewer Cerveceria Minerva in Guadalajara, which also complained to the antitrust authority about the exclusivities, expressed skepticism that brewers like Minerva will gain easy access to establishments under contract with AB InBev and Heineken.
"I don't want to darken the celebration, but knowing our way of doing business in this country, some bad faith situations could occur," Mr. Briseno said by phone.
