The ability to detect rotten food is so crucial for survival that even flies have a dedicated neural circuit to do just that, according to a study published on December 6th in the Cell Press journal Cell. The brain circuit allows flies to avoid feeding and laying eggs on fruit covered in toxic molds and bacteria and represents a unique, specialized system for detecting a repulsive odor.
"When this compound is present in the air, even the most attractive food source becomes unattractive," says senior study author Bill Hansson of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology. "This is highly interesting, as it's seldom that single compounds have a direct behavioral effect and that they are active at extremely low concentrations as we observe here."
The vinegar fly (Drosophila melanogaster) feeds on yeast that grows on fermenting fruit, and the olfactory pathways that underlie the insect's attraction toward the smell of vinegar have been well characterized. But relatively little is known about circuits that mediate avoidance of foul odors. One potential candidate for a dedicated avoidance circuit was recently discovered by Hansson and his collaborators, who found that the chemical geosmin, which is produced by harmful fungi and bacteria, is strongly repulsive to flies.
"It is obviously highly important for all organisms to stay away from spoiled food," says lead study author Marcus Stensmyr of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology. "Detecting and avoiding food infested by bad microbes seems to be a ubiquitous phenomenon, where the nervous system has evolved to extreme degrees to make it work."

Exciting times at Wauconda Aug 22, 2014 10:22 PM
It's the biggest "W" in Wauconda history, and a celebration awaits. Splashed in the middle of Wauconda's new turf field is a giant, purple "W," which is uniquely Wauconda's own. Unlike the school's old "W," the new block letter won't be potentially confused with that of the universities of Wisconsin or Washington. The varsity football helmets sport a "moving Bulldog" logo, also uniquely Wauconda's, and a "W 100" decal, the latter of which represents the school's centennial.

Thai appeals court rules to extradite Russian arms dealer to U.S. (update 2)
Topic: Viktor Bout case

- Viktor Bout's defense set to lodge new bail appeal in Thai court
- Thai court to make final ruling Friday on Russian arms dealer's extradition to U.S. (Update 1)
The Thai appeals court ruled on Friday to extradite Russian businessman Viktor Bout to the United States on arms smuggling and other charges.
Bout said he is ready to prove his innocence in front of a U.S. court.
"Well, now we'll just go to a U.S. court and win there instead," Bout told RIA Novosti after the court had given its ruling.
Former Russian army officer Viktor Bout, 44, was arrested in March 2008 under a request from the United States, which accuses him of illegally trading arms. He has repeatedly denied the accusations.
In August 2009, the Bangkok Criminal Court ruled in Bout's favor, denying the U.S. extradition request due to a lack of evidence and because it believed the case to be politically motivated. However, the United States appealed the ruling and filed new charges against him.
The United States brought new charges against Bout on Friday just hours before the court made its final decision.
According to the new extradition request, Bout and his former business partner, U.S. citizen Richard Chichakli, are accused of money laundering, telegraph and internet-mediated money transfer fraud, and violating the U.S. president's sanctions against them.
In accordance with Thai law and an extradition agreement between Thailand and the United States, Bout must be handed over to the U.S. side within three months after the announcement of the sentence.
However, Bout's lawyer said that the new charges could prevent the extradition.
"By law, extradition should be carried out within three months. However, according to the same law, extradition of a subject, who is being investigated on different charges in Thailand, cannot take place until the case is complete," Bout's lawyer Lak Nittiwattanawichan said.
He said he respected the court's decision but would petition the Thai government to block the extradition.
"The defense believes Bout will not be safe and is not guaranteed a fair trial in the United States," Lak was quoted by Reuters as saying.
Bout's wife, Alla, said the Thai authorities had caved in to U.S. pressure.
"This is a result of constant pressure from the U.S. government," she said. "This is the most unfair decision because the initial court already said it's a political case."
The Court of Appeal has the final say on extradition cases in Thailand. Its decisions are not subject to further appeal.

Amazing performances by all actors, difficult subject matter presented in a very thought-provoking and respectful manner. One of the best shows I've seen, it was absolutely heart-wrenching.

Wonderful cast for such a dramatic play
The Laramie Project is a play by Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project about the reaction to the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student, in Laramie, Wyoming. The murder was denounced as a hate crime motivated by homophobia and brought attention to the lack of hate crime laws in various states, including Wyoming.
A chorus of voices brings to life the thoughts and feelings of the people of Laramie, Wyoming. The play draws on hundreds of interviews conducted by the theatre company with inhabitants of the town, company members' own journal entries and published news reports. It is divided into three acts, with more than sixty characters in a series of short scenes.

Car crash leads to chargesJanuary 07,2014BENNINGTON A Pownal man was charged with a felony on Monday, after police said he told them at the scene of a single-vehicle crash that he was late to pitch in a baseball game for the World Series.
Anthony W. Barbiero Jr., 35, pleaded not guilty in Bennington criminal court on Monday to a felony charge of aggravated operation of a vehicle without the owners consent and one misdemeanor charge each of driving while under the influence of drugs and negligent driving.
Police said they were called to the site of a one-vehicle crash on Nov. 2 around 2 p.m. in Pownal. At the scene, police found the car, 20 feet off the road, down an embankment, partially overturned and resting against a tree.
Barbiero told an officer he was sorry for parking his car on the road. That comment, along with other incoherent comments like his statement about pitching in the World Series, led police to believe Barbiero had been taking drugs.
Police believed Barbiero hit his head on the windshield during the crash but also found evidence he had been acting erratically prior to the crash.
The car belonged to Barbieros mother, police said. His father gave police a sworn, written statement which said Barbiero Jr. did not have permission to use the car.
The affidavit said police got a laboratory report on Dec. 6 which said that Barbiero was driving the car under the influence of drugs but didnt specify which type of drugs.MORE IN This Just InBy JAMIE NORTON Full StoryBRANDON This unit needs a nickname. Full StoryWoman killed in Full Story

Finding adventures on the dark side - guide or no guide

Isola 2000, FRANCE–The Maritime Alps glow blue in the dark, and fat flakes of snow are whirling around like a just-shaken snow globe. I'm part of a group huddled by a snowmobile while Bruce, our French expedition leader, shouts out instructions.
"Go slowly. If you stop, don't start the engine yourself."
I knock a shelf of wet snow off my hat and look around for someone to piggyback with. No way am I driving into these Southern Alps alone, even if the reward is a traditional French dinner at a high-altitude chalet.
I shuffle over to Pascal Lequenne, promotions manager for Isola 2000, a modern purpose-built ski resort 90 kilometres from Nice. Since he'd taken me out skiing earlier, I know he knows the slopes, but I'm too late. Barbara, a fellow journalist, has already claimed him and Bruce has a passenger as well. Obviously, while I was listening to the safety lesson the other unattached solos were sidling up to the most experienced guides.
I start circling around in a panic. Without a partner I'll have to back out of this night snowmobiling tour which promises "the pleasures of Canada through the doors of the Côte d'Azur.'' Although maybe that's wise. It had sounded fun earlier when I was out skiing in the sunshine, but no one had counted on a storm.
Two people back out and I consider following them. There's a fine line between being adventurous and foolhardy, but if the guides think it's safe, I'll trust them. After all, they're not going to risk life and limb just to eat savoury mountain pie and rack of lamb.
"How about this guide?" Pascal motions to a muscular Frenchman in a black ski suit.
"Okay," I say, relieved. If he's a guide, he must know how to drive.
My escort introduces himself as Henri. I climb on behind him as we listen to Bruce's final words of advice.
"If you have the choice of driving into the mountain or the other way, always go into the mountain."
Then we're off in a slow, snaking convoy. Behind us, the hotel lights glitter like rhinestones in a broach. Circled by 15 summits, Isola isn't ritzy like Vail or St. Moritz, but it offers plenty of snow, a 120-kilometre ski area, 42 runs and – new this year – the fastest chairlifts in the French Alps. Plus, its proximity to the Riviera means you can ski in the morning and be on the coast by late afternoon.
Our convoy slows. Bruce dismounts and walks down the line like a sergeant inspecting his troops.
"He says we must lean to the left because there is a drop-off," Henri explains.
Then we head up in earnest. Snow is driving into my right cheek and my eyelashes are clumping together. Cowering behind Henri's broad back, I force myself to think of crackling fires and red wine rather than slippery slopes and drop-offs.
"Do you want to drive?" Henri shouts over his shoulder.
Is he crazy? "Maybe later!"
"It's much better if you can go fast," he says. "In Quebec, I went 160 kilometres on a frozen lake. The feeling is fantastic."
While I'm quaking, he's exhilarated, I realize. His enthusiasm is reassuring, even catching, though I'm still glad Bruce is setting a careful pace so Henri can't go at the fantastic speed he'd like.
Finally, we reach the chalet. There is a flurry of laughter and activity as people stomp inside, peel off sodden layers of clothing and hang jackets up by the fireplace. It's a warm haven with mountain sheep antlers on the walls and the tantalizing aroma of roast lamb.
Suddenly, I feel giddy, as if I've conquered something momentous instead of merely sitting on the back of someone's skidoo. Taking a seat at the long plank table I ask Henri how many guides there are.
"I don't know." He shrugs. "We're just three, me, my mother and my friend."
I turn to Barbara beside me. "I thought he was a guide. Pascal asked me if I wanted to go with a guide."
She shakes her head. "He asked if you wanted to go with this guy."
"I'm from Paris," Henri beams.
That's one way to meet the locals – just jump on the back of their skidoos. But even if he's not a guide, he provided something important – enthusiasm for two. Maybe on the way down, I'll even feel exhilarated.

Israel Kills Palestinian Journalists, Attacks AFP Office
Two Israelis Slain, One Soldier and One Civilian
The Israeli military continued its attacks on media outlets in the Gaza Strip today, killing three journalists and bombing an Agence-France Presse office in a pair of attacks. Israel has repeatedly targeted media outlets in recent days.
Officials conceded today's attack, saying they deliberately targeted the journalists and accusing them of having "militant ties." Since Israel has maintained Gaza's domestic media are "not legitimate" in the first place, the distinction is unclear.
Two Israelis were also killed in today's exchange of fire, one civilian and another identified as a member of the Israeli military, the first Israeli army casualty since the attack began a week ago.
Of course the overwhelming majority of casualties on both sides have been civilian in nature. Israel's military leadership has struggled mightily to balance calls to escalate with the reality of very limited numbers of real targets, and yesterday admonished commanders on the ground to not just attack "random houses," which appears to have been the cause of the death of a family of 12 over the weekend.

The Signet Constellation and Signet Stars & Stripes are the latest development in Robert Allan Ltd.'s RAstar series of tugs.
These two powerful new escort tugs have been delivered to their owner's – Signet Maritime Corporation of Houston, Texas. They were constructed to provide marine support services to Angola LNG Supply Services (ALSS) in the Port of Pascagoula, Mississippi. Designated as RAstar 3100s and designed by Naval Architects Robert Allan Ltd. of Vancouver, BC, they were constructed by Trinity Yachts LLC, at their Gulfport, MS shipyard. The names of these vessels pay tribute to past America's Cup winners, the 12 meter yachts "CONSTELATION" (winner in 1964) and "STARS & STRIPES" (winner in 1987).
The particulars of this tug are as follows:
Capacities are as follows:
The Signet Constellation and Signet Stars & Stripes are classed for harbour, escort and emergency towing duties, with the following ABS notation; A1, AMS, Towing Vessel, Escort, Fi-Fi 1. Propulsion comprises a pair of CAT C175-16 diesel engines, each rated 2,550 kW (3,418 BHP) at 1,800 rpm, each driving a Rolls-Royce model US 255 drive, with 2,800 mm diameter controllable pitch propellers through a composite shafting system. The Signet Constellation and Signet Stars & Stripes are outfitted for a crew of eight (8) persons, in modern and well-equipped, air-conditioned accommodations.
The main hawser winch is a dual drum Markey Model DESDF-48, 200 HP, Electric, Escort Render / Recover Winch. The aft deck is equipped for emergency towing with 96 tonne SWL towpost. Electrical power is provided by three (3) x Northern Lights M1066, generator sets rated at 99 kW @ 1800 rpm, all connected in parallel. The tug has a full Fi-Fi 1 rating in accordance with Class notation requirements. The fire pumps are driven driven through gearbox with integral clutch and cooling system, which is driven off main engine front power take off via flexible coupling. On trials, Signet Constellation met or exceeded all performance expectations, with the following results:
The RAstar series of Offshore/Escort Tugs by Robert Allan Ltd. have a unique sponsoned hull form, which has been proven in testing and real-world applications to provide significant enhanced escort towing and sea-keeping performance. Accelerations and motions are less than half those of comparable sized "standard" tug hulls. They are high-powered and manoeuvrable, typically intended for operations in weather and sea-exposed areas where a high standard of sea-keeping is required. The RAstar hull form is also energy-efficient, as the reduced waterline beam reduces free-running resistance considerably in comparison to other tugs of similar overall proportions. The unique hull form of the RAstar class, has been developed exclusively by Robert Allan Ltd. over many years of committed private research and development and is the proven standard in the escort tug world.

Burger King Twitter Hacked: Anonymous Suspected, But Hackers Deny Activity
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Ian Kar | February 19, 2013 5:33 AM EST
UPDATE: Twitter has suspended the Burger King Twitter account.
Burger King's Twitter account was hacked early morning Monday.
Users noticed when Burger King's Twitter account announced the company had been "bought out" by McDonald's. However, as the fast-food company's account continued to send out tweets, followers found the activity highly suspicious.
The account continued to send out some interesting -- but hopefully false -- tweets, saying Burger King was bought out by McDonald's because the Whopper "flopped," and also introduced a new product: "BK Bath Salt."
"Burger King" quickly became a trending topic on Twitter and the company's account gained a sizable number of followers since its alleged hacking took place. However, the situation is certainly an embarrassing story for the company. We've reached out to Burger King for comment but as of publication, we have not heard back yet.
The question remains: Who hacked Burger King?
It seems like the usual culprits may not be to blame for this hack. According to Gizmodo, the hack was not carried out by Anonymous or UGNazi, however, Burger King said in a tweet to follow "us," and mentioned @YourAnonNews, the *in*famous Anonymous Twitter account with 892,000-plus followers and counting.
Business Insider disagrees, saying the group claimed responsibility by mentioning the main Anonymous Twitter account -- however, a separate Anonymous Twitter account, @AnonyOps, tweeted that it seems Burger King was indeed hacked, but denied involovement in the operation.
It seems the @burgerking account has been hacked. It wasn't us, though: we'd never say nice things about McDonald's! arstechnica.com/information-te…— Anonymous (@AnonyOps) February 18, 2013
Anonymous recently hacked into the Federal Reserve, and threatened to hack into Goldman Sachs on Valentine's Day. The Valentine's Day operation didn't really pan out, but some believe Anonymous may be working on a bigger project regarding the financial company.
The New Yorker's Caitlin Kelly tweeted that the first "weird" Burger King tweet mentioned "DFNCTSC." According to Kelly, the acronym is a reference to Defonic Team Screen Name Club, which hacked Paris Hilton in 2004. The teenage hacker was sentenced to 11 months in a juvenile detention center for hacking Hilton's phone.
Here are some of the tweets that have been sent out since the Burger King Twitter account was allegedly hacked and taken over.

Greek economic crisis leads to air pollution crisis
In the midst of a winter cold snap, a study from researchers in the United States and Greece reveals an overlooked side effect of economic crisis -- dangerous air quality caused by burning cheaper fuel for warmth. The researchers, led by Constantinos Sioutas of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, show that the concentration of fine air particles in one of Greece's economically hardest hit areas has risen 30 percent since the financial crisis began, leading to potential long-term health effects.
These fine particles -- measuring less than 2.5 microns in diameter (approximately 1/30th the diameter of a human hair) -- are especially dangerous because they can lodge deep into the tissue of lungs, according to the EPA.
"People need to stay warm, but face decreasing employment and rising fuel costs," explained Sioutas, senior author of the study in the journal Environmental Science & Technology and Fred Champion Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the USC Viterbi School. "The problem is economic hardship has compelled residents to burn low quality fuel, such as wood and waste materials, that pollutes the air."
Unemployment in Greece climbed above 27 percent in 2013. Meanwhile, heating oil prices have nearly tripled in Greece during the Greek financial crisis of the last few years -- driven in part by a fuel tax hike. Cold Greeks, it would appear (according to the air quality), have turned to wood as a major fuel source.
In their study, the researchers collected air samples that supported anecdotal evidence of Greek residents burning of wood and trash for heating. Taken over two-month stretches in Winter 2012 and again in Winter 2013, the samples reveal a dramatic increase in airborne fine particles since the beginning of the economic crisis.
The concentration of these particles, which has been linked to increased risk for heart disease and respiratory problems, rose from 26 to 36 micrograms per square meter over the study period, the researchers found. The EPA standard in the United States is an average of 20 micrograms per square meter over a 24-hour period. Worse yet, the concentrations of carcinogenic organic compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) increased five-fold during the study period, the researchers found.
The concentration of the particulates was highest in the evening, presumably when more people were burning fuel for warmth, the study found. An analysis of the air samples also showed a two-to-five-fold increase in the airborne concentrations of organic compounds such as levoglucosan, mannosan and galactosan, which indicate the burning of biomass. The presence of these compounds has been strongly correlated in past research to oxidative stress in human cells, which is linked to inflammation, aging and the development of age-related diseases.
"Wood's cheap, but it's having a major negative impact on air quality," Sioutas said. The authors recommend active involvement of public authorities and local agencies to implement effective air pollution control strategies. They suggest increasing natural gas distribution in residential areas as a practical long-term solution. Catalytic domestic wood burners and increasing the energy efficiency of existing buildings might be additional possible solutions, according to the report.

Comment On This Article
The latest Internet-based Ubuntu Developer Summit ended yesterday. For those not up to speed on your Phoronix reading, here's a recap of the most interesting topics.
This 14.06 Ubuntu Summit wasn't the most interesting (v)UDS, but there was still a few interesting tid-bits for end-users and enthusiasts:
Ubuntu is bringing Click packages to the desktop
. Such support has been desired before and it looks like Click packages will make it to the Ubuntu 14.10 desktop as part of their convergence strategy and to complement Debian packages and APT.
Systemd for Ubuntu was discussed
. I ended up
trying systemd on Ubuntu and it worked well
though it's not expected to be the default for Ubuntu 14.10.
Unity 8 desktop preview daily ISO
is available for desktop users wishing to play with the Unity 8 and Mir stack, although neither technology will be the default of Ubuntu 14.10 on the desktop.
- Olli Ries and Rick Spencer had
a public Q&A about Unity 8 and Mir
- Mark Shuttleworth
reaffirmed the Mir plans
and the understanding there will be "first class" driver support for Mir.
- Ubuntu Server 14.10 will
support BCache and other new features

AGAWAM -- Roller coasters are a metaphor for life. That's the thought that came to me as I waited to take my first ride since childhood. I had spent days thinking about whether I should do it? Was it safe? Did I want to spend the money? What if I didn't like it? But, as I sat in my strapped down seat waiting to begin, I gave up all the questioning, all the doubts, all the stress. Committed to taking the ride, there was nothing to do but sit back and let whatever happened happen.
That solitary experience became an obsession, one that I've learned that is shared with coaster enthusiasts around the globe. Over the next few months, many of them will flock to New England's premier amusement park, Six Flags.
"People come from all over the world," Chuck Davis, director of maintenance and construction of Six Flags New England since 1997, said. "A lot of coaster clubs come here to ride."
Each of Six Flags New England's 20 coasters (among more than 60 rides) has its distinct flavor. Celebrating its 69th anniversary, the seven-story-high Thunderbolt is one of two wooden coasters in the park.
Batman-Dark Knight, on the other hand, is an ultra-modern, 12-story-high, floorless ride that features a pair of corkscrews, a vertical loop, a dive loop, and a zero-G roll.
Typhoon is a water coaster that takes riders on a wet and wild journey through turns, tunnels, and uphill climbs.
The majority of the excitement, though, is reserved for the recently re-christened Bizarro, a mile-long mega-coaster that's guaranteed to leave the most veteran rider speechless. A five-time recipient of Amusement Today's "Steel Coaster of the Year" award, the coaster is arguably the number-one coaster in the world.
Traveling between 50 and 77 miles per hour, a ride on Bizarro is over in less than two-and-a-half minutes. It's an experience, though, that's not easy to forget. "It's got a 220 foot lift," Davis said, "but, then, it goes down another 20 feet into one of two fog-filled tunnels. There's a spot where you crash through a billboard. There're two large flame cannons that shoot off, after you go through the second tunnel, and you can feel the heat from the propane."
Many of the ride's innovations, including the two subterranean tunnels, were the result of space restraints. "We built on the site of what used to be the Riverside Park Speedway," Davis said, "and we had to do what we did to make everything work."
Since its inception in 2000, as Superman-Man Ride of Steel, the ride has undergone continuous improvements. After its name was changed, in 2009, the track was painted purple and shield tunnels, capable of emitting lights in 26 million colors, were added. This year, two new trains of nine cars were installed.
"[The trains] have state-of-the-art audio systems," Davis said, "and they play a variety of musical themes. There are five different zones of audio (on the ride) and each adds to the riders' enjoyment."
Built on the former site of a mid-19th century picnic grove -- Gallop's Grove -- Six Flags New England has continued to expand on the legacy of the now-legendary Riverside Park. Though it includes a variety of rides, the foundation for the park remains its roller coasters. "They're what makes it all exciting," Davis said.
