"...or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
-Amendment 1
This law that I believe all police swear to uphold has been violated in fascist police state actions numerous times over our history. Too many to count really, there exists a fundamental perversion in the way police are trained and propagandized by those who issue their daily marching orders.
What happened in Oakland California was nothing short of state terrorism directed to send a political message. This assault on the Occupy encampment had nothing whatsoever to do with the thinly concocted excuses provided by authorities. Oakland police, along with "peace officers" from numerous surrounding municipalities, committed a spree of "wilding" worthy of third world dictatorships.
As the white house pronounced the virtues of democracy and people's uprisings repeatedly, when those rising up were residents of foreign lands this spring, they have said and done nothing to protect the brave people's movements here in their own land. The hypocrisy is so glaring it's comiccal.
Readers will already be familiar with the Veteran For Peace who was critically injured by a police projectile shot at his skull. Police, in their marauding rampage, fired large metal canisters, bean bags and rubber bullets. They used chemical weapons and there is even report of sound weaponry turned on US citizens exercising their first amendment rights. Further, once the veteran had been critically injured by reckless intentional police violence, a crowd of volunteers came to his aid only to be assaulted by an exploding flash grenade shot directly into ther group.
These are war crimes.
Is this the turning point?
Has America officially descended into outright fascism?
We have a constitution, but it is flagrantly ignored by those sworn to uphold it. How is this the "freedom" and the "democracy" they print repeatedly in their endless propaganda pieces?
I was present at the 2000 Democratic Convention protests in Los Angeles when police there opened up on the crowd in similar fashion.
That day the LAPD was out in force, thousands and thousands of riot-gear clad formations surrounded the event. Helicopters never stopped circling overhead.
The people had settled into a concert featuring Ozomatli, an African band that played a joyous very danceable eclectic set. Suddenly, the police stormed on stage, announced that the event was over and that the ten thousand people had fifteen minutes to leave the Staples Center lot, or they would be arrested.
I was filming the event with a camcorder, and I retreated across the street from the lot, which was explicitly not in the verboten zone any longer and supposedly safe and legal. I filmed the retreating people who danced and piled out down a gauntlet surrounded on both left and right by lines of well-armed riot police holding large shields.
As the fifteen minutes ticked away, and completely unprovoked, a line of black clad police robots started firing -- directly at me across the street and at a few dozen others who were simply walking away from the event. Apparently given their green light, the LAPD thought their "serve and protect" mandate included blasting into peacefully walking citizens after whatever arbitrary time limit had passed.
Needless to say we ran for it. I was still filming behind me as I felt the sting of some projectiles bounced off the street and back up again. Several young anarchists turned to yell and throw their water bottles. Others overturned a couple of newspaper boxes as they fled down the gauntlet shouting at the powers that be.
Afterward, the ACLU put out a call for footage of this police riot, and I was happy to send it. A year later the city of Los Angeles settled the case for some x million dollars, and the ACLU sent me a check for about $700, which I was not expecting, but was quite happy to cash.

What kind of under the table payoff did the CEO get to GIVE THE COMPANY AWAY?
For pete's sake, he just did a conference presentation where one of his sides showed IN THE MOST CONSERVATIVE SCENARIO, CXPO IS WORTH $18 PER SHARE!!!!
I think we need to vote NO on the maerger and YES to a new CEO!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
This is not what I expected either. How can a company worth $18 be sold for $3.19? I am in at a higher avg pps than that and will end up losing money. What a farce!
And I forgot to mention it's a STOCK FOR STOCK DEAL, it's not even CASH!!!! Now the value of the deal depends on what MCF's stock price does.
We need to know what break up terms are on the deal and if there is a 'go shop' provision.
This is not what I expected. I bought in expecting a merge or take out of much higher numbers. I feel like I was very mislead by management!!
I guess I need to figure out MCF and why they are down 64% from their $60.30 high of last July. But with now only holding 0.08 of the shares I previously held I'm not sure it really matters that much. I've been through reverse splits that I have felt just like this.

Zagazig university , EGYPT (MD)
Cairo University (Master's)
As a transplant to Raleigh, N.C. from Cairo, Egypt, I have had the unique opportunity of sharing my native language of Arabic and deeply rich culture with many of the students attending university here. I am a graduate of Cairo University in Urological Surgery (1983) and have spent the past 27 years working in the medical profession in Egypt. I received my high school diploma from College De La Salle, Cairo, Egypt (1977) and I speak French, too. I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina in 2010. My wife is American and lived and worked in Egypt for almost 8 years. I realized after my experience teaching her and several of her colleagues Arabic that I enjoy teaching and am thrilled with the opportunity to do so here in Raleigh, N.C. I do believe that learning needs to be enjoyable for both tutor and student. I have become quite familiar with the curriculum and textbooks used by the majority of Arabic language professors in the universities in N.C. and find it an easy fit for me. Feel free to contact me with further inquiries and/or concerns.
As a medical doctor, I can also help with Anatomy, Physiology, and Biology.
About me: I love traveling, photography, sports (especially Squash) soccer, music, and technology. As a transplant to Raleigh, N.C. from Cairo, Egypt, I have had the unique opportunity of sharing my native language of Arabic and deeply rich culture with many of the students attending
Emad has a great understanding and knowledge of Fusha (modern standard Arabic). He is great with both speaking and writing. He pushes me to pronounce the vocabulary correctly, and has given me a much better understanding of the language, and the culture. He has made a dramatic difference in my knowledge and enjoyment of the Arabic Language. Emad is very flexible and very easy to get in contact with. A true star all around. I highly recommend!
Emad is fast, accurate, and a very pleasant person with whom to work. As a nonprofit organization we highly recommend his services. It is our plan to hire him in the future when we organize our mission trip to the Middle East/Northern Africa. Thank you, Emad!
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
As an Egyptian, Arabic is my mother tongue. I completed my high school diploma in 1977, then I joined medical school, got my Bachelor degree in 1983 and Masters degree in 1988, I am familiar with different Arabic dialects inside Egypt, and in other Arabic countries, so I am capable to teach MSA. That will help you primarily to understand the media since it's the primary dialect, or if you are interested in colloquial Arabic, I can help with Egyptian colloquial. I can also help with other Arabic dialects. It's up to the student to decide what would he like to learn and master.
Enjoy Learning Arabic

DigiGone announced that its video communications system and software platform has been approved for use with Thuraya's IP terminals. A mobile satellite services operator, Thuraya is actively rolling out the DigiGone satellite communications solution across their distribution channels in all vertical markets.
Optimized for narrowband satellite channels, DigiGone offers high-quality encrypted video and audio conferencing, video streaming, Voice over IP (VoIP), IM Chat and file transfer using a small fraction of the bandwidth needed for other commercial video telecommunication solutions. The DigiGone system can be customized, depending on users' bandwidth speed requirements and their choice of audio and video quality. The bandwidth can be raised or lowered by the user at any time during the call, to meet user requirements for image resolution.
"DigiGone is an important addition to our current service offerings and an ideal tool to enable videoconferencing for Thuraya IP, IP+ and Maritime Broadband customers," said Randy Roberts, Vice President of Innovation at Thuraya. "This cost-effective communications solution will be made available through our extensive network of service partners globally for use across a variety of vertical markets including maritime, energy and humanitarian NGOs."
DigiGone is suited for maritime applications and is certified to work with Thuraya's Maritime Broadband terminal. The system is currently being deployed on commercial ships for applications such as videoconferencing, security and ship-to-shore crew welfare calling. The software can be installed on most PCs, laptops, tablets or smartphones in just a few minutes. DigiGone has formed a strategic relationship with Maritime Medical Access (MMA) at The George Washington University to offer a complete subscription-based telemedicine solution for ships at sea. The DigiGone video link enables MMA emergency physicians to perform visual inspections of shipboard crewmembers to improve diagnosis and treatment. In many cases, this can avert the necessity of an expensive ship diversion or at-sea evacuation.
"DigiGone will provide secure video and audio transmission for videoconferencing to Thuraya's customers with satellite airtime costs much lower than other teleconferencing services," said Michael Dunleavy, President and CEO of DigiGone. "The approval from Thuraya enables us to expand DigiGone's global reach."

"It started with a few bad swings that led to a few bad shots. Then it turned into a mental problem." -- Henrik Stenson
"For a while he had trouble hitting the world. It is the hardest thing I've ever done as a teacher." -- Pete Cowen, swing coach
"At times he felt ashamed of himself. He ended up with a real choking problem with the long clubs." -- Torsten Hansson, sports psychologist
The day he said the hell with it and walked in -- July 5, 2001 -- was really the beginning of Henrik Stenson's golf life. For the other players competing in the opening round of the European Open at The K Club, it was just another day on tour. But for the Swede whose compatriots have come to call "our special one," it was the lowest point in a disastrous 18 months that made his name one to be whispered by his fellow pros, lest they be infected with the insidious disease that had apparently taken hold of Stenson's golf swing.
Was a scratch player at age 18 and turned pro with a plus-4 handicap in 1998. Ranked No. 16 in the world. Second on the European tour in putting and is T-20 in scoring average (70.98) and 24th in driving (296.6). Won the 2001 Benson and Hedges International Open, 2004 Heritage and 2006 Qatar Masters. Won three times on the 2000 European Challenge Tour and topped the money list. Won the 1996 Italian Amateur and 1997 Greek Amateur. Aced the 13th hole at the 2006 Players Championship for his first hole-in-one in a tournament. 6-foot-1 and 198 pounds. Wears sunglasses because his eyes are sensitive to glare. Born in Gothenburg, Sweden.
"I make a much shallower swing with the shorter clubs now. I can control the distance more and the flight on the shots. And I have picked up bits and pieces since. I can hit a variety of shots with the short irons."
Playing with Miguel Angel Jimenez and Sandy Lyle, Stenson started on the 10th hole and needed three tee shots -- all with a 3-wood -- before he hit one he thought he could find. Three holes later he arrived on a tee where, 24 hours earlier, he had hit a massive hook that finished two fairways left of the one he was targeting. In a wild overcompensation, Stenson struck the opposite shot, a slice that expired "maybe 400 yards from his drive the previous day," according to swing coach Pete Cowen, the man Stenson turned to in the wake of a nightmare he brought to a halt on the 18th green.
"After nine holes, I told the guys they'd be better off without me," Stenson recalls. "The balls were all over the place."
Amazingly, only two months before that embarrassment, Stenson had won a tournament, the Benson and Hedges International at The Belfry, seen at the time as the natural extension of a career that was progressing seamlessly.
Five years after the victory at The Belfry, that assessment of Stenson, 30, is true again after a total rebuilding of his swing and golf psyche. He has produced two more wins, a No. 16 World Golf Ranking and a succession of high finishes, including third places in this year's Players Championship and last year's WGC-AmEx Championship, where winner Tiger Woods was moved to comment favorably on Stenson's play when the two were paired. That progress is the latest confirmation that Stenson is, alongside Englishman David Howell, the next big thing in European golf. They form the core of the team that will defend the Ryder Cup against the Americans at, coincidentally for Stenson, The K Club.
All of which is a long way from the bedraggled and depressed figure who first met with Cowen during the 2001 Volvo Masters in Spain.
"He had a lot of promise but had lost his way," says Cowen, an Englishman who has worked with, among others, Darren Clarke and Lee Westwood. "He needed to understand why his mechanics were breaking down. Anyone can win on hand-eye coordination and manipulation, and that is what Henrik had done. So his good shots were fine; it was the bad shots that were a real problem. For a while he had trouble hitting the world."
The two started over, rebuilding Stenson's swing.
"He didn't know how it worked," Cowen says. "It was like lifting the bonnet on a car and looking at the engine without really knowing what you're looking at. If you don't know, fiddling with the knobs is more than likely to make things worse rather than better.
"He needed a swing that would stand up under pressure. It is the hardest thing I've ever done as a teacher. But he wanted to do it, which is a prerequisite. He was prepared to do whatever it took to get the job done."
At first, to the surprise of no one, Stenson got worse -- a lot worse. A look at his play during 2002 reveals some gruesome statistics. By the end of the season he was 176th on the Order of Merit with earnings of 42,283 Euros, less than one-tenth of what he made the year before. In 22 events, he made only eight cuts and broke 70 on a mere five occasions, and his stroke average of 73.64 was almost 4 shots higher than it would be in 2005 (69.97).
Throughout that traumatic period of his life, Stenson worked with sport psychologist Torsten Hansson, a former diver in the Swedish navy. The pair had first come into contact through Hansson's work with Swedish amateur golf, and their relationship was tested as never before.
"For the first six months things weren't too bad in that he wasn't expecting too much success," Hansson says. "But after that, he was struggling mentally. At times he felt ashamed of himself. He had guilt, and his ego suffered. He ended up with a real choking problem with the long clubs. For a time he played with his eyes closed, so that he could focus on releasing the club properly.
"For us both, it was hard work. He could understand the process intellectually, but it was more difficult emotionally."
The decline had started shortly after Stenson's victory at The Belfry in 2001.
"My form slowly left me," he says. "It started with a few bad swings that led to a few bad shots. Then it turned into a mental problem. It was more mental than physical. It was hard to get over that loss of confidence and change my whole technique at the same time."
Making the change
"I remember a time when he and I were practicing," says former British Amateur champion Christian Hardin, the teaching professional at the Barseback Golf & Country Club, where Stenson is a five-time "Klubbmastare Herrar" (men's club champion) and his girlfriend, Emma Lofgren, has won the ladies championship three times. "He asked me how to play the shots 'under' the wind. We stood there for two hours, and he didn't get one right. Every shot was way too high. I think sessions like that convinced him he had to change."
Stenson's problem, not uncommon in tall men (he's 6-foot-1), was a downswing that was too steep. With such abruptness came a spiraling ball flight, one that lacked real penetration into anything more than the slightest breeze.
"I'd always been OK with the longer clubs, but because I was steep into the ball I struggled with the short irons," he says. "So I was a poor wedge player. And that is the part of my game that has developed the most over the last two years.
"I had too much of a lateral move in my swing, especially through the ball. And I still have to fight that. If you watch me at address, you'll notice the last thing I do before the club starts back is shift my head a little to the right. That helps me stay behind the ball through impact."
To Stenson's credit, he managed, as much as anyone could, not to take his golf problems away from the course.
"I saw him a lot during that time, and he never changed," says Goran Zachrisson, who commentates on golf for Swedish television. "He is the same now. He's not afraid to speak his mind, and he isn't one for changing his position on things. He isn't one for ingratiating himself just for the sake of it. I never doubted he would come back and that he would win again."
Stenson never gave up.
"I kept on fighting," he says. "That sort of thing makes you stronger eventually. I was still struggling in 2003. It wasn't until September that I could feel a difference. For the first time in two years I felt like I could play and compete on tour."
Which is not to say that Stenson never lost his temper. By his admission, Stenson, even now, has to count to 10 more often than he should.
"I am a perfectionist," he acknowledges. "I get far more upset on the range [where he is hailed by fellow professional Mark Roe as the master of the downward-thrusting, stick-it-in-the-ground throw] than I do on the course. When I am in a good shape mentally, my patience is good, and I stay calm. But when the head is a bit rocky, my patience wears thin, and that's when it turns ugly. I have to let the steam out sometimes. It happens that a clubhead gets separated from its shaft, stuff like that."
These days, however, losses of control -- either his own or of his golf ball -- are less frequent.
"When you play badly and come back, there is a lot of satisfaction in proving the doubters wrong," he says. "A lot of people felt I was done and dusted."
There is much to look forward to, not least the biennial tussle with the Americans. After success in the '05 Seve Trophy, where he was unbeaten in five matches for Continental Europe against the British Isles, and the '06 Royal Trophy, where he won all three matches and recorded Europe's winning point against Asia, Stenson looks likely to be one of captain Ian Woosnam's horses in Ireland.
"I can't describe my excitement enough," he says. "I'm part of the first generation of continental Europeans who know nothing else but the Ryder Cup. I'm not sure what is hardest: getting into the side, or doing well once you are there. But I have had time to think about the latter, and I am determined not to let anyone down."
Stenson will arrive at The K Club with one last thing to prove in his rehabilitation, if only to himself. Even the important matter of scoring Ryder Cup points will have to wait until one fairway in particular has been split with a drive. Then, on Sept. 22, 2006, Day 1 of the matches, he'll be ready.

Default every track will be exported as a separate staff/part. However some instrument, like a piano, is usual noted on two staffs. In a score the staffs which belongs to such multistaff instrument are grouped by means of a brace.
The exporter can ignore multi staff instruments and export all tracks as separate parts ("None") or it can create multistaff instruments. To do so successive tracks must be assigned to the same instrument and the tracks must be grouped by a brace. So the bracket type first track of the multistaff instrument should be "{--" and last track must have the bracket type "--}".
However in Rosegarden such a brace group can be inside a bracket group ("{[--" and "--]}" bracket types).
With this option you tell the exporter to ignore multistaff instruments at all ("None") or they should grouped by a brace only ("{--}") or the braces may be inside a bracket ("{[ -- ]}").
I hope this explain what I meant.

Academic Flexibility:
My academic councilor was very knowledgeable with applying transferred credits. They ever looked at my military transcripts and applied those credits as well.
Academic Flexibility:
I had a bit of frustration with the financial aid. However, my enrollment was smooth and easy. I earned my Associated, and it took a half hour to enroll in my Bachelors. I was able to do this over the phone and on the computer. As for my classes I can take any time I want to to sit and study. It is convenient to work around.
Academic Flexibility:
its an online school so i can get on whenever i have time. but if i need help with anything there is a team of people i can call at just about any time and get the answers i need. i have not run into any issues with internet or anything going out which would pose a threat to me having to turn in school work late. but with how helpful and concerned they are about me as a student i believe they would be able to help me within good reason.
Academic Flexibility:
so far the topics and curriculum has been very helpful.
Academic Flexibility:
I like how i go to school at six after most people get off work.

It must be love! Childhood sweethearts separated in 1948 reunited over 60 YEARS LATER (and they're still as besotted as ever)
- Brenda Loy, 82, and Fred Wilcock, 81, grew up in South Yorkshire
- The pair were best friends from the age of four to 17
- Separated when Fred left to do military service in 1948
- Chance meeting brought them back together
A pair of childhood sweethearts who were inseparable during their younger years have revealed how fate brought them back together after more than 60 years apart.
Brenda Loy, 82, and Fred Wilcock, 81, were best friends growing up in the village of Hoyland in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, from the ages of four to 17.
And they are now enjoying their golden years together after becoming separated when Fred left for military service in 1948.
Brenda Loy and Fred Wilcock were separated for 60 years when Fred joined the RAF in 1948 - but now they have been reunited and theirs has been named the perfect 'Yorkshire Love Story' by a local theatre
Their heartwarming tale has won a local theatre competition to find the 'perfect Yorkshire love story'.
After being split up by Fred's military obligations, both went on to have successful, long-lasting marriages while living just 30 miles apart.
But it wasn't until a chance meeting at a local hospice that they met up again. And love blossomed following the death of Fred's late wife, Dorothy, in 2010.
Fred Wilcock, 81, left, and Brenda Loy, 82, right, as teenagers in the Forties
Brenda, 82, a former Boots worker who still volunteers at her local hospice, said: 'We did everything together when we were kids.
'We were both born in the small village and held hands as we walked together to the infant school down the hill.
'We played in the woods together and then, as we got older, we went to the pictures and attended local dances. He joined the local brass band and I used to go to watch him.
'We had an incredibly close relationship from infants school until our teens. He always looked after me.
'We were together so much growing up that everyone just expected that we'd end up together.'
Brenda said: 'We had an incredibly close relationship from infants school until our teens - e always looked after me'
Fred, 81, said: 'I wasn't one for girls when I was young. I was naive in that sense, but me and Brenda always shared a special friendship.
Brenda Loy in her teenage years, when everyone thought she and Fred would end up together
'Everybody thought we'd be a couple but events transpired to split us apart. But when we were apart I often wondered how she was.'
Fred's military service began in 1948, while Brenda found herself moving away from Yorkshire to live with her sister and brother-in-law who served in the Royal Air Force.
Both ended up in happy marriages. Fred married Dorothy in 1958 and went on to have two children, four grandchildren, 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren while Brenda married Len in 1953 and now has two children and three grandchildren.
After her husband died in 1998, Brenda started working at the local St Luke's Hospice which is where she met Fred again.
She said: 'One day a couple knocked on the door of the hospice. I didn't recognise the man but then he said he was Fred.'
Fred joked: 'Brenda looked at me as if I'd come to clean the windows.'
Brenda got to know Fred again, and his wife Dorothy, over a cup of tea before going their separate ways.
But following Dorothy's passing two years ago Fred got back in touch with Brenda earlier this year.
Fred said: 'I wasn't in a good way after my wife died two years ago but since meeting Brenda I'm a changed man. We have great days out and we're hoping to go on holiday next year. We have a good laugh together.
'We have no plans to marry because I made a commitment to my wife and to me that is sacred, but what Brenda and I have is special.
'I'll never hurt her and I'll always be there for her. I think it is fate that brought us back together all these years later.'
Fred said: 'I wasn't in a good way after my wife died two years ago but since meeting Brenda I'm a changed man'
Brenda still lives in Hoyland while Fred currently resides in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Brenda said: 'Eventually we arranged a weekend in Leeds and a weekend in Hoyland. We've been doing that ever since. I never thought we'd be so close again, like we were when we were young.
'We are looking forward to the next years we have together being happy ones.'
Brenda entered the competition run by The Civic in Barnsley. Their win means the couple will be VIP guests at the premiere of Hans Christian Andersen's The Tin Soldier at the venue in December.
Ian Morley, Theatre Programmer at The Civic, said: 'There could be only one winner. It's a fairy-tale story and we're looking forward to welcoming them as our guests for the opening.'
Brenda said: ' I never thought we'd be so close again, like we were when we were young - we are looking forward to the next years we have together being happy ones'
Fred and Brenda kiss under the mistletoe as they prepare for their first Christmas together, some 60 years since they were first friends
After her husband died in 1998, Brenda started working at the local St Luke's Hospice which is where she met Fred again
Fred, 81, said: 'I wasn't one for girls when I was young. I was naive in that sense, but me and Brenda always shared a special friendship'

Study reveals evolutionary history of hawkmoths' sonar jamming defenseMay 13th, 2015
By Stephenie Livingston
In the 65-million-year-old arms race between bats and moths, some moth species rub their genitals to jam the calls of bats. Radar jamming is commonly used in human warfare, allowing pilots to render themselves invisible. By unraveling the evolution of hawkmoths' similar defense, authors of the May 2015 study appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences aim to better understand nocturnal biodiversity and improve human uses of sonar.
Researchers with the Florida Museum of Natural History and Boise State University tracked sonar jamming throughout the evolutionary history of hawkmoths and found that one of the insect world's most sophisticated defense mechanisms is more widespread than originally thought, existing for millennia.
Until now, the function and evolution of sonar jamming remained largely a mystery, said lead author Akito Kawahara, assistant curator of Lepidoptera at the Florida Museum on the University of Florida campus.
"Before now people thought ultrasound usage in insects was very restricted to certain groups, but it looks much more complex than that," Kawahara said.
Kawahara and collaborators scoured jungles and forests from Borneo to the Amazon observing hawkmoths. They collected specimens at 70 sites in 32 countries and conducted field-based echolocation experiments and (more…)
Bella moth keeps potentially dangerous invasive plant at bay in FloridaApril 14th, 2015
By Stephenie Livingston
Taming a wild plant may not sound too ominous, unless you are a tiny moth and the plant is 8 feet tall and poisonous.
Lepidopterist Andrei Sourakov with the Florida Museum of Natural History has been studying ornate bella moths, Utetheisa ornatrix, since 2010. His March 2015 study appearing in the Journal of Natural History reveals that the moth is changing its ecology, co-evolving as it adjusts to feeding on the seeds of several invasive exotic plant species.
"Once a species is introduced, they may take on a life of their own," said Sourakov, collections coordinator at the museum's McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity on the University of Florida campus. "Eradicating a foreign species that has established is very difficult if not impossible."
With his trademark spectacles and safari hat, David Fairchild, known as the Indiana Jones of botany, traveled the world during the early 1900s in search of plants and collected thousands of exotics and new varieties, like pistachios, mangos, dates, cotton and wheat, and introduced them to the United States. Fairchild's writings suggest a variety of exotic rattlebox plants in the genus Crotalaria were introduced to South Florida about 100 years ago. Among them is Crotalaria spectabilis, showy rattlebox, which particularly stands out with its 6- to 8 feet-tall plants and (more…)
History re-written: Christopher Columbus' invention of the cannibalsMarch 9th, 2015
By Stephenie Livingston
Indigenous Bahamians plunged into the Caribbean ocean of the 15th century. As with anything from beyond the horizon, they thought the foreign vessels were from the heavens and swam out to the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria without fear.
Christopher Columbus had missed his Asian destination by more than 8,000 miles, landing in the Caribbean during his search for the city of Grand Khan—a golden city said to have existed on the eastern coast of China. In his misguided journey, Columbus created a myth that has persisted for centuries—warrior cannibals in the Caribbean, said William Keegan, curator of anthropology at the Florida Museum of Natural History.
"The lesson from conventional and popular history is that there were two different groups living in the Caribbean when the Europeans arrived: the peaceful Arawak's and the cannibal Caribs," Keegan said. "This notion of peaceful vs. warlike Indians, and the duality between good and evil, can be traced back to Columbus' diary of his first voyage."
Columbus observed wounds on the bodies of islanders and interpreted what he saw as the signs of warfare with the powerful "Caniba" or Carib people of the Grand Khan. Based on Greek and (more…)
Fossils link Caribbean bat extinction to humans, not climate changeFebruary 11th, 2015
By Stephenie Livingston
Sharing caves with millions of bats, the Caribbean's first humans may have driven some species of the winged mammals to extinction.
"Scientists have been studying bat fossils in the Caribbean for years," said David Steadman, curator of ornithology at the Florida Museum of Natural History. "The problem is, no one knew how old the fossils they were studying actually were."
Bats have dominated the Caribbean for millennia, once sharing the islands with at least 73 species of mammals, such as primates, rodents and sloths. But following an ancient event called the Last Glacial Maximum, sea levels rose enormously, islands became smaller, and it is thought that most of the Caribbean's land mammals became extinct.
New radiocarbon dates show that bats continued to thrive until (more…)
Island isolation, warming climate shapes Mediterranean Basin evolutionJanuary 14th, 2015
By Stephenie Livingston
From the jungles of Southeast Asia to the Greek Islands, Florida Museum of Natural History botanist Nico Cellinese has searched for the answers to how evolution works. But during fieldwork in the Mediterranean Basin—a biodiversity hotspot—she found more questions than answers.
"There are so many islands and so many island endemic species in the basin that it makes you wonder what is going on in this place to make it so highly dynamic," said Cellinese, associate curator of the Florida Museum Herbarium and Informatics. "It's a very peculiar place. It's the kind of place you just have to dive into, and not stop until you figure something out."
Cellinese received a National Science Foundation $865,000 Early Faculty Development Career Program Award in 2010 to investigate the basin's rich biodiversity and better understand why certain species only occur there. The grant has supported Cellinese's research on genetic diversity in the flowering plant group Campanulaceae, also known as the bellflower family—a model group for studying the influences of geological activity, climate change and human pressure on island evolution and endemism.
The five-year award has resulted in the study of nearly 1,000 species of bellflowers worldwide, focusing on those restricted to islands in the Mediterranean Basin. The research adds to the work of Charles Darwin and (more…)
Anatomy of a Burmese python: The story of a monster snake's rearticulationDecember 11th, 2014
By Stephenie Livingston
As Becky Reichart pressed against one of the sleek, bleached, white rib bones of the fully rearticulated 17-foot-7-inch Burmese python, one of the largest found in Florida, she commented, "They look delicate, but they're actually really strong."
The bones tell the story of the snake's life in the Everglades of South Florida, where it thrived and survived injury. Florida Museum of Natural History herpetology collections assistant and University of Florida graduate student Leroy Nuñez pointed to healed fractures on the ribs of a snake that he says bounced back from nearly everything life threw at her.
"We literally got to know this animal from the inside out," Nuñez said. "She was so incredibly resilient. This was an older snake. She'd been around for a while, and she took a beating. We can see that some of ribs have fused together after an injury. It didn't even appear to phase her."
Alive, the python's 165-pound body slithered through the murky swamps of the Everglades, likely its birthplace, for several years; a descendent of exotic pets released into the wild by humans. A September 2011 study by Florida Museum herpetology collection manager Kenneth Krysko found the exotic pet trade to be the No. 1 cause of invasive species introductions. Originating in Southeast Asia and making its way to the Everglades in 1979, the Burmese python resides near the top of the food chain in South Florida, mostly because nothing other than humans and alligators can cause it harm.
Reichart, a Florida Museum volunteer, began the painstaking work of reassembling the snake's 872 ribs and vertebrae, its skull and (more…)
A living history: Reeves collection tells story of Native American art, cultureNovember 12th, 2014
By Stephenie Livingston
By his mid-20s, Keith Reeves had traveled the world. When he settled in Florida in the 1960s, however, it was in many ways an alien place: No ancient monuments like the pyramids he climbed in Egypt or mountains like those on South Pacific islands where he lived as a "Navy brat," but a wet-hot, often harsh, environment, devastated every so often by hurricane force winds howling through palms trees and toppling condos. While adjusting to this ominous landscape, Reeves decided to explore what he calls the "subtleties of Florida," namely its indigenous people, as catharsis.
"He complained about the flat landscape and he complained about the Florida vegetation," said Sara Reeves, Keith's wife, who first encouraged him to (more…)

Further Studies on the Relation Between Constitution and Association: Especially in Reference to Aromatic Compounds5(1934); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745229View Description Hide Description
The fluidities of fifteen ortho, meta and para compounds have been measured at temperatures of 0°C to 100°C, except when the melting point of the compounds interfered with measurements at the lower temperatures. The specific volumes of 14 of these compounds have been measured at the same temperatures. From the atomic temperature constants of C, H, O, Cl, Br and N given by Bingham and Spooner, the associations of the compounds have been calculated, whenever possible, at fluidities of 50, 100 and 200 rhes. From these same constants, and that of F determined by the authors, the associations of 14 ortho, meta and para compounds run by Swarts have been calculated at equal fluidities. On the basis of the theory of protection, the associations of these 29 compounds and of 17 ortho, meta and para compounds studied previously have been correlated.
In the case of compounds containing two non‐associating groups, (A) The fluidity‐temperature curves of the meta and para compounds cross, the para compound having the higher temperature coefficient of fluidity. (B) At low temperatures, the ortho compound is the most associated, the para next, and the meta compound has the least association. (C) At high temperatures, the ortho compound is the most associated, the meta next, and the para has the least association.
In the case of aromatic compounds, containing one non‐associating and one associating group, the differences will be less clearly marked, but: (A) In general, the ortho compound is the least associated, the meta next, and the para compound is most associated. (B) In the phenetidines, at low temperatures, the meta compound is more associated than the para compound, but, having a higher temperature coefficient of fluidity, its fluidity‐temperature curve shows a tendency to cross that of para‐phenetidine, and at high temperatures, the associations will run o<m<p. (C) Where the associating group is NO2, the associations of the three isomers are nearly equal, with that of the meta compound being slightly lower than the associations of the ortho and para compounds.
In the case of compounds containing two associating groups, according to the theory, the associations should run o<m<p. Time was not available to run any of these compounds, and there are no fluidity data on them in the literature since all are solids at ordinary temperatures. In general, however, the boiling points of these substances, which vary in the same order as the association, run o<m<p (Table V). Unfortunately, even these data are scanty.
It is shown that the theory of protection offers an explanation for the behavior noted above.
The Stress‐Strain Relation in Textile Fibers5(1934); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1745230View Description Hide Description
Stress‐strain relations for eight common textile fibers are given (four rayons, silk,wool,cotton and ramie) under known humidity conditions. The method has two novel features: (1) In each experiment the section area was determined on the specific fiber under test, (2) the elongations were made in steps, with a relaxation interval of 30 seconds between stress observations, rather than at a constant rate which is the usual practice. The rayons exhibit an accurately linear initial curve from which Young's modulus can be determined, followed by a yield point and a long region of plastic flow. The curves for cotton and ramie are linear with no plastic yield in the range examined. In silk and wool there is no proportionality between stress and strain. Cellulose acetate exhibits the phenomena of ``cold working'' and marked increase of total and elastic energy with falling relative humidity. The application of Maxwell'srelaxationequation is examined.
