Hoolock leuconedys
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Hoolock leuconedys Groves, 1967
Common Name(s):
Bunopithecus hoolock ssp. leuconedys Groves, 1967
|Taxonomic Notes:
|This taxon is monotypic; it was formerly considered a subspecies of H. hoolock. The previous generic name, Bunopithecus, was changed by Mootnick and Groves (2005) to Hoolock (Haimoff et al. 1984).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable A3cd ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Brockelman, W. & Geissmann, T.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
Listed as Vulnerable because it is suspected that a population decline, projected to be more than 30%, would be met over the next three generations (approximately 40 years), inferred from habitat loss and hunting.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is found in southern China (western Yunnan) and northeastern Myanmar (east of the Chindwin River). In China it is found as far east as the Salween River, and north to nearly 26°N (Groves 2001). Das et al. (2006) reported the discovery of a population of H. leuconedys in eastern Arunachal Pradesh, north-east India, which has traditionally been considered to be part of the distribution area of H. hoolock. This record has yet to be proven (T. Geissmann pers. comm.).
The boundary between the two species of hoolock gibbon is uncertain in the Chindwin headwaters in the north, and possibly includes a zone of intermediates or variable population (T. Geissmann pers. comm.). More fieldwork is needed to investigate populations on both sides of the river and in the headwaters of the Chindwin, where there is likely to be one or more hybrid zones or clines (W. Brockelman pers. comm.).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:China (Yunnan); Myanmar

|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|There are an estimated 50-300 individuals in western Yunnan province, China (Lan 1994; Tian et al. 1996; Zhang 1998; Zhang et al. 2002). In India, a population of about 170 gibbons, which have been tentatively identified as H. leuconedys, occurs in the Mehao region, in eastern Arunachal Pradesh state (Das et al. 2006), but further surveys are needed (J. Das pers. comm.).
The total population of H. leuconedys in Myanmar is over 10,000 individuals, and perhaps up to 50,000 or so; however, much more survey work is needed. There have been some Wildlife Conservation Society surveys in Hukaung Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, which have approximately two groups/km2 (Htun pers. comm. 2006). There are approximately two groups/km2 in Mahamyaing Wildlife Sanctuary based on vocal surveys, with a total population of 4,000–8,100 individual gibbons (about half of which would be adult animals) (Brockelman 2006 unpub. draft).
The species is doing relatively well in Myanmar, but there is no guarantee of continued political protection in the next few decades (W. Brockelman pers. comm.). Political instability is presently slowing down logging (W. Bleisch pers. comm.).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This gibbon is a forest-dweller that inhabits primary evergreen, scrub and semi-deciduous hill forest, as well as mountainous broadleaf and pine-dominated forest. It ranges up to 2,700 m in elevation, as reported by the Vernay-Cutting expedition (Anthony 1941), in mixed pine/broadleaf forest in northeastern Myanmar.
It is a frugivorous species, with ripe fruits composing a majority of its diet. Individuals also eat a large proportion of figs and some amount of leaves, shoots, and petioles. This diet contributes to a relatively large home range of some populations.
No intensive studies have been carried out on the behaviour or ecology of H. leuconedys, but it may be assumed to be similar to that of H. hoolock, with diet varying somewhat by habitat (W. Brockelman pers. comm.).
|Major Threat(s):
|Eastern hoolocks are threatened by habitat loss and hunting, both for meat as well as for use in traditional "medicine" (M. Richardson pers. comm.). In Myanmar, commercial logging may eliminate most forest habitats outside of protected areas, but in and around Mahamyiang Sanctuary, selectively logged forests (with dipterocarps removed) still contain many gibbons. The more than 50,000 people settled in the Hukaung Valley Tiger Reserve constitute a threat to all wildlife in the area, and the future of the reserve will depend on the ability of the government as well as international conservation groups to curtail hunting. Gold mining has become a threat to conservation in Kachin State (W. Brockelman pers. comm.).
|Conservation Actions:
|This species is listed on CITES Appendix I. In China there are two nature reserves with eastern hoolocks (Gaoligongshan and Tongbiguan National Nature Reserves). In Myanmar, the Mahamyaing Sanctuary was created in part as a gibbon refuge, and the species occurs as well in the Bumhpabum, Hponkan Razi and Htamanthi Wildlife Sanctuaries, and in the Hukaung Valley Tiger Reserve (W. Brockelman unpub.). Unfortunately, there is no viable protected area in Myanmar between the northern Ayerawady and Salween Rivers, near the borders with Yunnan and Thailand. Gibbons in this zone could be genetically different from those along the Chindwin; therefore, it is critical to save the small numbers that survive west of the Salween River in Yunnan. A project has been implemented by Wildlife Conservation Society to help educate local residents – especially school children – around Mahamyiang Sanctuary, and to urge them not to hunt wildlife. The project also provides some support to the wildlife sanctuary for increased patrols. Such projects need to be implemented in the Hukaung Tiger Reserve as well, in order to reduce hunting pressures. At present tourism is not promoted in the Hukaung Valley because it is a politically sensitive area, but there is great potential for tourism to have a positive impact on local development in the future. In the meantime, alternative sources of income are needed to compensate for the bans on direct resource exploitation (W. Brockelman pers. comm.).

In the regions where there are shrines and people visit graves, should we call them to Tawheed only, or should we call them to Tawheed and all the matters of religion, such as doing the salaah properly and other matters? Does the same also apply in cases where people are not doing actions of Shirk but are committing some sins?
Praise be to Allaah.
When making da'wah, it is essential to pay attention to the circumstances of the people whom one is calling. If they have fallen into Shirk, then we should start by forbidding Shirk and enjoining Tawheed, then enjoin all the other matters of religion. Whoever is free of Shirk but is still committing some sins should be told not to commit those sins, and should be enjoined to repent.

Salisbury Advances To Championship After Thrilling 14-13 Overtime Win Over Stevenson
May 23, 2010
Courtesy of Salisbury Athletics
SALISBURY, Md. - A weather delay couldn't dampen the spirits of the fans at the Salisbury University men's lacrosse team's semifinal match against Stevenson University on Sunday afternoon as the Sea Gulls brought on a storm of their own, defeating the Mustangs 14-13 in overtime to advance to the NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse Championship game.
Stevenson (19-2) struck first in the highly physical game, scoring on an extra-man opportunity just 1:26 into the contest. The maroon and gold answered back just over a minute later as sophomore attackman Matt Cannone (Bayport, N.Y.) scored his 49th goal of the season. Just 40 seconds later, senior attackman Mike Winter (Port Washington, N.Y.) gave the Gulls (21-1) their first lead of the game as he netted his 49th goal of the year. The Mustangs would score again shortly thereafter to knot up the game at two apiece; it would mark the first of four times that the game would be tied in the first half. The Sea Gulls' one-goal deficit at the end of the first quarter turned into a one-goal lead at the half as Salisbury outscored Stevenson 3-1 in the second quarter to take a 7-6 edge at halftime.
When inclement weather hit the area in the third quarter with 13:32 left to play, Salisbury held an 8-6 advantage over Stevenson. When play resumed 45 minutes later, Salisbury wasted no time extending its lead to three goals as sophomore midfielder Sam Bradman (Canton, N.Y.) netted an unassisted score. The Mustangs proceeded to score three straight goals in a span of just over one minute to even up the game at nine apiece, but a rip by Cannone found its way into the back of the net to give Salisbury a 10-9 lead. With 2:16 left to play in the quarter, Cannone struck again to give the Gulls a two-goal cushion; 18 seconds later, Bradman fired the ball past Mustang keeper Geoff Hebert to pad that cushion to three. One Mustang goal would cut the lead back to two, but Salisbury retained a 12-10 advantage going into the final quarter of the game.
It became increasingly clear in the fourth quarter that neither team would go down without a fight. Both squads went into defensive mode as only a combined four goals were scored in the final 15 minutes. With just 1:31 left in the game, Stevenson's Richie Ford netted a shot that tied up the game at 13 and sent the contest into overtime.
The Mustangs won the face-off in the overtime period and quickly made their way down the field. However, excellent defense by long-stick midfielder Connor Burgasser (Mendon, N.Y.) led to a turnover and subsequent ground ball pickup. Burgasser dished the ball to senior defender Will Poletis (Baltimore, Md.), who sprinted down the field. Salisbury called a time-out and set up the game-winning play.
The ball went to Bradman, who waited for Winter to position himself in front of the Mustang net before executing a perfect pass. As soon as the ball landed in Winter's stick, it was out again - this time in the back of the goal. Sea Gull fans exploded. Salisbury will be in search of the program's ninth national championship.
Winter scored a game-high four goals in the thrilling victory. Goalkeeper Johnny Rodriguez (Gambrills, Md.) posted 16 saves. Salisbury caused 15 turnovers, including the clutch turnover by Burgasser which eventually earned the Sea Gulls their ticket to the big dance. "Those are probably two of the best teams in the country," said Head Coach Jim Berkman in reference to the six times Salisbury has faced off against Stevenson in the past two years; with today's game in the books, the two-year series record stands at 3-3. "We were fortunate to win this last one."
Today's win also gives Salisbury the victory in the season series between the teams; the Sea Gulls won the first meeting against the Mustangs, 16-10, before falling in the Capital Athletic Conference championship by a score of 10-6. Salisbury advances to the national championship game for the fourth time in five years; the only break in that period came last year in the NCAA quarterfinals as Stevenson trumped Salisbury, 11-9. Salisbury will face Tufts University in the national championship game on Sunday, May 30 at M & T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md., at noon.

text: Calibrate Spreaders to Improve Manure Applications November 9, 2013 03:23 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Rhonda Brooks Editor, Farm Journal MagazineEditorial Director, Farm Journal Media Email Consistency probably isn't the first word you think of when you consider how to improve manure applications on your fields. But getting an even amount on every acre is one of the primary challenges farmers face when using manure as a crop nutrient, says Isaac Ferrie, a certified crop adviser with Crop-Tech Consulting. "Poor distribution of manure across the field can result in uneven crop growth," Ferrie notes. He says the best way to achieve a consistent application is to calibrate your spreader equipment, a practice used by only one-third of farmers who apply manure, according to surveys conducted by Ohio State University Extension. Yet, calibrating equipment takes only an hour or so. That time, plus a little effort, can save you a bundle of cash. A simple task. There are two common calibration methods—the weight method and the flow method. Ferrie says both methods work well, depending on your particular machinery setup and preference. With the weight calibration method, you have a couple of options. You can weigh the manure spreader before and after application, or you can install load cells on the spreader, much like you would with a grain cart to weigh corn. If you apply liquid manure, you might want to consider using the flow method. It requires using a large electromagnetic flow meter (the 3" size or larger) to measure the actual flow of product through the machine. This process is like sidedressing liquid nitrogen using variable-rate technology. One major difference is that the electromagnetic flow meter for manure has no moving parts in the meter. For both calibration methods, you need to know your swath width. This will help you determine how far apart to make each pass in the field so the manure is evenly dispersed. The tarp test is the easiest way to accomplish this. Evenly space a series of three or four 56"-square tarps in a straight line in the field. Drive the spreader over the set of tarps, making sure your speed is equivalent to what you would normally run. Next, weigh the product that lands on each tarp. "Fold up the tarp and set it on a scale," Ferrie says "You should only have 8 lb. to 10 lb. of manure on each tarp if you're spreading 8 tons to 10 tons of manure on the field." That's because the calculations are set so that every 1 lb. of manure that lands on a tarp is equal to 1 ton of manure per acre. By analyzing the amount of manure on each tarp, you can determine how even your application rate is across the field and make adjustments to your swath width. As you evaluate swath width, it's helpful to understand that the distribution from a spreader typically resembles a triangle with the maximum application rate near the spreader path and decreasing rates further from the spreader path, explains John Worley, University of Georgia Extension poultry specialist. "When the spreader pattern looks like this, the edge of the effective swath width occurs at the point where the application rate is one-half the maximum rate," Worley says. "If the rate is 4 tons per acre in the middle and decreases to 2 tons per acre 20' to the side of the spreader, then 20' is the edge of the effective swath. Since this occurs on both sides of the spreader, the effective swath width is 40'." Worley says some application overlap is necessary to even out the distribution: "If the spreader paths are 40' apart, the overlapping patterns will produce a uniform application rate of 4 tons per acre."

BMS scores "breakthrough" label for hep. C candidate
The race to develop an interferon-sparing treatment for hep. C continues to heat up. Despite a somewhat bland quarterly earnings statement Thursday, Bristol-Myers Squibb also announced that it had scored breakthrough treatment status from the FDA for its experimental hepatitis C NS5A drug daclatasvir in combination with an NS3 protease inhibitor, asunaprivir, and an NS5B non-nucleoside polymerase inhibitor, BMS-791325.
Those combinations may look familiar, because this same week, BMS reported mid-stage trial data where the three-drug combo boasted cure rates up to 94%. And earlier this week, the drug maker also said it was teaming up with Merck for Phase II testing that combined contributions from their respective labs (they're testing a combo regimen of BMS's daclatasvir with Merck's NS3/4A protease inhibitor MK-5172), but with no promises to necessarily go anywhere with the results once the data roll in. That announcement was equally explicit that the two companies were free to use their research with whomever they please.
In the case of BMS's three-drug experimental hep. C mix, it echoes the Merck alliance but with strictly home-grown tech.
FDA's breakthrough status designation is meant to help developers speed certain drugs to patients more quickly. The agency has pledged to work very closely with sponsors to determine how much data is needed for filing and how to scale up manufacturing, among other things.

You will not find a more dedicated group of individuals and a more sincere and passionate owner. I don't buy a lot of flowers, but this is the only location I ever use (even if it is 45 minutes from my house). There are closer shops but I wouldn't risk the occasion on another store or an internet vendor.

The staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! They went above and beyond to ensure my daughter's graduation bouquet was perfect. I got items for others,the flowers were fresh and appealing to all! If that wasn't enough they even boxed and helped me to my car! I loved the experience, I was a walk in and they were on top of things...I will be patronizing again!Thank you all so much!

Phil, would you say you're lucky or unlucky?
[ Post made via Android ]
My life has been deliberately saved, on more than one occasion, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, so no, luck has nothing to do with me being alive. If it were up to me, I would have died long ago.
The concept of luck, rests on the belief that causality does not exist, at least when one refers to it.
But if you mean, as some do, luck being a synonym for happy, relieved, or grateful, no. I saw the implications of that also, and eventually I ended up for a long time in a state of cognitive dissonance.
We are immersed in a social environment full of mythology. This mythology brings about associations which eventually become hard wired synaptically. It takes a long time to get it right. A real conceptual change has a lot of real physical changes to be made.

The United Soybean Board has worked with private industry to replace the petroleum-based products used in carpet backing with a newly developed soybean-based product. The move, according to the commodity group, has the potential to use 47 million bushels of U.S.-grown soybeans annually.
"This represents a very substantial market opportunity for U.S. soybean growers," says, Eric Niemann, a farmer from Nortonville, Kan., and chairman of the United Soybean Board's new uses committee. "It's a win-win situation for both consumers and soybean growers. Consumers are getting a high-quality product made with a renewable home-grown resource, which lessens our dependency on foreign oil and uses the product of American soybean farmers."
At a June 19 press conference at Universal Textile Technologies in Dalton, Ga., the United Soybean Board announced the new use for soy-based polyurethane — polyol.
Through the soybean check-off program, U.S. soybean farmers funded research to assist in developing the polyol, which can now be used to manufacture carpet backing. The soybean polyol is currently used in a variety of applications, including spray-on home insulation and truckbed liners.
Marketed under the trade name SoyOyl, it can be blended with petroleum products at no extra cost and has the potential for use in other carpet applications, such as cushioning and padding.
"About 70 percent of the carpet manufactured in the world is made in the three-county area around Dalton, Ga. In fact, about 1.6 billion square yards of carpet are produced in that area every year, so this is a very large opportunity for American soybean farmers to get their product in a commercial setting," Niemann says.
Manufactured by Urethane Soy Systems Company (USSC) of Princeton, Ill., SoyOyl will first find a home in the artificial turf and commercial grade carpet markets. The soybean polyol will be blended with petroleum-based products to manufacture the backings of commercial carpets and artificial turf.
"They are using about a 17 percent blend of the SoyOyl now, but they have begun testing a blend of 80 percent soybean polyol and 20 percent petroleum-based products, and so far have been very pleased with the results," Niemann says. "Our goal is for an 80 percent blend of SoyOyl in the production of all commercial carpet backings.
"About 23 percent of all carpet produced is commercial-grade carpet. If we could capture all of that market it would mean using the oil from 47 million bushels of U.S.-grown soybeans annually," he says. "It takes approximately 1 pound of soybean oil to produce 1 square yard of commercial carpet backing, so piece of carpet 9 yards by 12 yards would use about 1 bushel of soybeans."
Also new to the market, Dow Chemical Company has introduced Biobalance polymers and announced their availability for use in the carpet industry. The new soybean-based technology replaces a portion of the system required to make polyurethane carpet backing. Dow launched this innovative technology with Dalton, Ga.-based Universal Textile Technologies (UTT) at the June 19 press conference.
Biobalance polymers contain the soy-based polyol, SoyOyl. South Dakota Soybean Processors of Volga, S.D., supplies the soybean oil used to produce the soy-based polyol.
"Polyurethane backing systems have been the long-time choice for performance- and comfort-based carpet specifications," said Tom Peeples, president of UTT. "Biobalance polymers utilize a renewable resource alternative, an important component toward reaching our environmental goals. We are pleased to be the source for polyurethane carpet backing incorporating Biobalance polymers."
Recently, the U.S. Department of Agriculture became the first government agency to install carpet with the soy-based backing in its office. The federal government is the largest carpet purchaser in the United States.
Niemann says, "The technology is sound, the science is sound, and I believe this market will continue to grow as suppliers embrace this new product. The home carpet market is still using latex, and we hope to get into that market as time goes on, but so far our opportunity is limited to commercial-grade carpet."
"Soybean farmers across the country should be proud of their check-off investment in SoyOyl," he says. "USB has identified the carpet market as an opportunity to efficiently move more soybeans, and by funding the research and development of soy polyols, USB has effectively invested in the future of soybean farmers."
The United Soybean Board is composed of 61 U.S. soybean farmers appointed by the secretary of agriculture to invest soybean check-off funds. The soybean check-off is a farmer-supported marketing and research fund collected on each bushel of U.S. soybeans sold. USB invests these funds on behalf of the 600,000 U.S. soybean farmers in activities specifically designed to increase the global utilization of U.S. soybeans and to reduce production costs. Check-off-funded investment areas include human and animal health and nutrition, research and development of new uses, and research to improve soybean composition and production efficiencies.

For Immediate Release, April 13, 2009
Contact: Rob Mrowka, (702) 249-582, firstname.lastname@example.com
Water-rights Application for Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository Protested to Protect Habitat for Imperiled Amargosa Toad
LAS VEGAS, Nev.— Today the Center for Biological Diversity submitted to the Nevada State Engineer 11 protests of water-right applications filed by the Department of Energy for groundwater in the Oasis Valley Basin northeast of the town of Beatty, Nevada. The purpose of the protests is to protect spring and stream flow required for the survival of the Amargosa toad, a rare desert amphibian and a species the Center for Biological Diversity and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility petitioned the Interior Department to list under the Endangered Species Act on February 26, 2008.
The water-right applications, filed by the Department of Energy in January 2009, are in support of the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and associated proposed rail line. Each of the 11 applications sought 345 acre feet of water per year from a groundwater basin that is already at an annual deficit, according to a report by the U.S. Geological Service.
"While there is widespread opposition to the construction and operation of Yucca Mountain, there is not yet certainty that it will not move forward," said Rob Mrowka, an ecologist and conservation advocate with the Center. "It is also possible that resulting water rights could end up in the hands of a third party, so opposition at all stages of permitting will be important for this vanishing species."
The entire known geographic range of the Amargosa toad is restricted to wet areas, springs, and adjacent desert uplands in a 10-mile stretch of the Amargosa River and interconnected spring systems in the Oasis Valley in Nevada. Fewer than 20 breeding populations have been found near the Amargosa River and surrounding springs in the Bullfrog Hills in the Oasis Valley in Nye County, Nevada. The remaining habitat contains about 8,440 acres of riparian and adjacent upland habitat, which faces imminent decline due to numerous impacts.
Threats to the Amargosa toad include water diversions, ongoing destruction and modification of the animal's remaining habitat by urban, residential, and recreational development, the introduction of nonnative predators, ground disturbance and vegetation removal from grading, grazing, and off-road use, and accelerated drying caused by global climate change.

Sweet Story eyes new digs at Lavender Tea House
Michele Howard believes a Kickstarter campaign will be a success
Michele Howard is dreaming big.
After almost three years of providing yummy cookies, cupcakes and an assortment of other confections to Sherwood residents, shes ready to move down the road.
Into the old Lavender Teahouse to be exact.
We really, really need a bigger space, said Howard, who has run Sweet Story for several years. It really has to happen. Its the only option.
To make that dream come true, Howard and her husband Daron launched a Kickstarter campaign on Feb. 6.
(Kickstarter is the crowdfunding platform that allows those with creative ambitions to reach their goals with supporters pledging money to help them achieve those dreams. In Howards case, the goal is to raise $27,500 in less than a month.
And Howard has gone full-bore in her efforts to move from her 550-square-foot shop on Railroad Avenue to about 1,800 square feet in the spacious former teahouse, hiring a film crew to make her plea in a big way.
We spent 12 hours last Monday filming, said Howard. They showed up at 6:15 Monday morning and left at 6:30 at night.
The video includes support from such local business and civic leaders.
Howard said those who help fund the move will be rewarded with Sweet Story goodies.
Howard previously applied for a Chase small business grant and although she didnt get the highly sought-after award, she didnt give up, noting that the most obvious prospects didnt look like they would work out either.
I dont have any relatives I can tap for quick funds, she joked. It just doesnt work (that way) anymore.
The entrepreneur got the Kickstarter.com idea after seeing how successful her husbands nephew was in his effort to launch a smartphone app for creating a video game.
Most Sherwood residents are familiar with the location of the former Lavender Tea House, which is a white Victorian home with purple trim on First Street in Old Town Sherwood. After 18 years in business, the iconic business shut down in July 2012.
The tea house in Old Town has been empty for quite some time now, and a lot of residents have been looking forward to seeing this special place opened back up so the community can enjoy it, said Amber Gardner, of Gardner Team Real Estate and a friend of Howards. So many times people have mentioned how great it would be if this place would become SweetStory.
Since opening, Howard has been finding one success after another. For the last year, she has been providing banana bread, raspberry scones and monster cookies to Dutch Bros. Coffee kiosks in Sherwood, Tigard, Newberg and Lacey, Wash. During an interview last August, Howard estimated that Sweet Story was delivering about 700 items a week to the kiosks.
In addition, she creates cookies and cakes for a variety of special events and creates the tiramisu dessert for Da Mimmo Italian restaurant, just a few doors down from her Sherwood business.
Although Sweet Story Bakery is her first venture into the retail baking world, Howard has been whipping up sweets at her Sherwood home for years. Today, her personal treat favorite is the Kit Kat Bar, a concoction made of chocolate, caramel, peanut butter, butterscotch and a layer of wafers drizzled with white chocolate.
Although Howard knows she must raise the entire $27,500 – money that will go to renovation and remodeling efforts -- in a short period of time, shes optimistic.
One of the first things she plans on doing is change the exterior color scheme and revitalize a business that has been vacant too long.
Its really time for that house to have some love, said Howard. It really has to happen. Its the only option.
If all goes as planned, Sweet Story Bakery will make the move in March and open in April.

The Linux Gooey - An exploration of why Linux needs a Game Maker and the evolving language of games.
Games development for open source gives a skilled programmer a vast palette of possible tools with which to design games. But non-programmers are left out in the cold by the meritocracy of the open source development model, while the closed source commercial model has evolved to empower them through user content generation tools. How can we empower our users to contribute to the open source games: where do we need to set the skill bar, what languages should we choose, and how do we get them to make art?
The autobiographical perspective from a developer with over 10 years experience maintaining a complex open source games project.

Queer Eye Reunion Coming in October
Bravo is hosting a ten-year reunion for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the network announced. Sadly, Thom, Kyan, Jai, Ted, and Carson will not be staging any kind of home or lifestyle makeover for anyone — they're just gathering in October to reminisce at Andy Cohen's behest. Man, remember when Queer Eye was, like, the trendy show to watch? And people were saying "zhuzh" when they pushed their sleeves up? And Kyan was constantly teaching men how to shave? (Slower! Shave slower, fellas.) Ten years fly by!

When the Grande Giro rolls through Italian villages like Orvieto and towns like Pianoro, even the old women, heads covered with steely curls, thrust out their fists, low and powerful, which is the peoples' way of demanding that Lamborghini drivers rev their engines. With no introverts among us, we are happy to oblige, and today the valleys and mountainside villages of Tuscany resounded with war cries, as from the back of the throat, of our 10- and 12-cylinder engines: "Aaarrruuunnnggg! Aaarrruuunnnggg!"
The Italians went wild. We felt like heroes. In fact, we felt like buying Lamborghinis, which is the point of this whole exercise. The brilliant—perhaps diabolically so—management of this company has gotten into the collective psyche by contriving a 50th-birthday procession through the heart of Italy. The citizens eat it up. The boutique luxury brand Lamborghini is as vital to the nation as Prada, as the novelist Italo Calvino, as the crazy punishing shoes that designers invent for women and podiatrists. The customers are getting test drives and a wonderful experience. We journalists are helping to broaden the Lamborghini myth. Even Lamborghini's management is on a huge high. After all, during this extravaganza, people are saying, "Ferrari who?"
My trip summary for the day's 440 kilometers: Leave Rome on autostrada; run in packs up to 140 mph despite middle-of-the-night misgivings about this sort of driving; get mired down in local backroad traffic and take in the verdant patchwork of fields on mountainsides, the sight of Romanesque and Renaissance villages and towns, the smell of perfumed locust trees and pungent basil at the roadside; dodge the occasional pelting raindrops and try not to slide off the slick pavement (no problem in our all-wheel-drive Gallardo). Finally, after another incredible lunch, this one at a winery, we arrived on the boulevards of Bologna, parking our cars in the Piazza Maggiore and Piazza Galvani, with 700-year-old buildings to surround us.
After about 1000 kilometers (please excuse the mixing of metric and English) I have this to say about the Gallardo: ready for an all-new, fully contemporary instrument panel and console; for heated seats; for two-speed wipers with more intermittent variability; for fully one-touch operation of both windows; for better connectivity and infotainment. Of course, all that's coming. Does it need a better engine? No. Better chassis and suspension? No. Better seats or superior fit and finish? No. It just needs some updates.
Otherwise, it's perfect in driver involvement. It can sometimes feel light in the front end. (Take a look at one accompanying picture that shows the rough roads, just as if we were back in Michigan.) But the steering is always there, like the American songbook. The steering wheel itself is perfection itself. And the powertrain? Even with the quirky six-speed automated manual, what could really beat it without spending double the money for one of those outrageous Aventadors that keep blowing by us just about whenever they want to?
Saturday the Grande Giro concludes with a judged car show in the grand plaza and then an afternoon convoy to Sant'Agata, where all these beasts were made. And where certainly you can sign up for a new one with all your preferred options.
The Italian nation awaits these decisions.

Three Reasons Why Michigan's Cheating Scandal Is SeriousSeptember 1, 2009
The big news in college football the past couple of days has been the report that coach Rich Rodriguez and the University of Michigan football program have been systematically cheating by mandating that players participate in football activities for hours well in excess of the daily and weekly limits set by NCAA rules.
It has been surprising to me that much of the early spin from the talking heads at places like ESPN has largely been of the "If you're not cheating, you're not trying" variety. Commentators are basically accusing the former and current Michigan football players of whining about the hard work required to play Division I football, even at a lesser program like Michigan's. (Cheap shot. Sorry. Not.)
Here, very quickly, is why I think the current scandal at U-M ought to be taken very seriously.
1. It's an integrity issue.
As an NCAA institution, Michigan has agreed to abide by a certain set of rules. If they knowingly and consistently break those rules, they are cheaters, and it is fair to call their integrity into question. If I were a U-M official, employee, alumnus, or student, I would probably not want my university's integrity ridiculed.
This doesn't appear to be an isolated incident either, as Dick Rod's integrity has been questioned since the day he left West Virginia for Michigan (and tried to renege on his contract buyout clause at WVU).
2. Competitive balance.
There's a group of football players at Western Michigan University who are getting ready to play the Wolverines this Saturday. The Broncos already have to contend with playing against a team full of superior athletes. Now they have to contend with playing a team full of superior athletes that is breaking the rules to gain an unfair competitive advantage.
That sucks for WMU, and it isn't fair to any team on Michigan's schedule (including Notre Dame).
Do you remember how OUTRAGEOUS steroid use was in baseball, because it created an unfair competitive advantage? How OUTRAGEOUS the New England Patriots' filming from the sidelines was because it created an unfair competitive advantage? Consistently getting more hours of supervised workouts or mandatory training or coaching sessions in each week is an unfair advantage every bit as serious as either of those situations.
3. These are STUDENT athletes.
At least they are supposed to be. Michigan has already been identified as one of the football factories that steers its players (mostly its black players) into worthless academic majors and then fails to graduate them.
They are already under criticism for sacrificing the education of their student athletes on the altar of football, so you would think that U-M administrators would be paying a little more attention to the academic progress of their student athletes.
Even at a school like Michigan, only a handful of players will ever play football professionally. The vast majority of student athletes will need to find another way to make a living, and they SHOULD be able to fall back on a Michigan education.
I have no doubt that Dick Rod and his assistant coaches go into the homes of their targeted high school recruits and sell the academic excellence of the University of Michigan. No doubt they promise these kids' moms and dads that their son will get a world-class education at U of M.
But if the football coaches are placing unreasonable and illegal demands on the students' time, it is clear that the coach and the University do not consider actual education to be a high priority—which is a moral problem as well as an integrity problem.
If these allegations about Coach Rodriguez and U of M prove to be true, I hope Dick Rod is humiliated and unceremoniously fired. Cheating should not be tolerated. Cheating that deprives student athletes of the opportunity to actually get the world-class education they have been promised should be punished.

Music can be good for health in ways that might not be immediately obvious, concluded the first symposium organized by the Association of British Orchestras with health-care professionals at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London. The association, representing most of the leading orchestras in Britain, presented research to health practitioners, including an initiative called the Bronchial Boogies, which found that if children who suffered from asthma played wind instruments, their symptoms improved. Other research highlighted the health benefits of listening to music, including reduced anxiety and depression. PAM KENTContinue reading the main story

The negative impact on social gaming providers from Facebook's changes in notifications and requests imposed in March finally seemed to have slowed in June, with total monthly active users (MAUs) of the top 10 game developers dropping by a little over 1% from May levels to 415mm in June, after falling 9% in May.
We were very interested to read Mark Zuckerberg's thoughts on the changes in a recent interview on Inside Facebook where he said that:
There are two ways that apps get usage that really define the character of the application. One way is viral distribution - spreading to new people. The other is reengagement. Early on, the viral strength was so much, but there were really no channels for reengagement. So people were using viral channels to reengage people, and you basically had apps that were growing very quickly, and their best way to get a good user count was to get new users and churn through them. That really optimizes for apps that are very viral instead of apps that are high quality and that people want to reengage. So we intentionally weakened the viral channels recently, and intentionally strengthened reengagement with emails, so that there will be better apps. It's going to be a long process, but I think it's going reasonably well.
One of the things we did recently was re-balance around games. A lot of users like playing games, but a lot of users just hate games, and that made it a big challenge, because people who like playing games wanted to post updates about their farm or frontier or whatever to their stream. They want all their friends to see their updates, and they want to get all their friends' updates, but people who don't care about games want no updates. So we did some rebalancing so that if you aren't a game player you're getting less updates.
As a result of this "re-balancing," since reaching their peak in mid-April, as the Facebook changes were being implemented, total MAUs have fallen over 14%, with virtually every developer seeing a significant fall off:
This large drop off comes amid the emergence of several new hits for the social gaming providers. Most notable, Zynga's Treasure Island was the fastest growing game in the history of Facebook, reaching over 20 million MAUs in just three weeks. However, the entire lifecycle of games appears to be compressing, as Treasure Isle peaked just seven weeks after its introduction, and over the subsequent
six weeks, Treasure Island has lost over 20% of its MAUs, including a 2mm MAU loss just last week.
Treasure Island hasn't been Zynga's only new hit. More recent, Zynga introduced FrontierVille, which has already surpassed 11 million MAUs after just three weeks, but these new hits haven't come close to offsetting the losses among all the other Zynga games:
It's interesting to note that the game with the best staying power is Texas Hold' Em, a classic poker game that was likely the easiest for Zynga to build, and is the most basic of all of Zynga's games.
The social gaming providers are hopefully finally at the point where things will level off from the Facebook changes, such that growth can begin anew. We'll keep you posted.

HBO Passes on Sarah Silverman's People in New Jersey
Also starring Topher Grace.
Sorry everyone, but it looks like we won't be seeing Sarah Silverman on HBO anytime soon. Sorry to a smaller number of people as well, but the same is also true of Topher Grace. The network decided to pass on the Paul Feig–directed People In New Jersey, the comedy pilot starring Silverman and Grace as the adult children of Patti LuPone. HBO will also be "retooling" a pilot from former Late Night With Jimmy Fallon writers Diallo Riddle and Bashir Salahuddin, possibly by adding more Sarah Silverman, though we wouldn't hold our collective breath over it.

What is the role of agency in learning the gospel?
Heavenly Father created us as agents who act, not as objects that are acted upon (see 2 Nephi 2:26). This principle applies to all aspects of our mortal lives, including our efforts to learn the gospel. We each must learn the gospel for ourselves—no one can learn it for us. Learning the gospel is meant to be an active experience, not a passive one. When we exercise our agency to diligently seek truth, the Lord blesses us with increased light and knowledge.
Prepare yourself spiritually
Study the resources below. What passages or examples can you use to help the youth understand what it means to actively participate in learning?
John 7:17 (We must do Heavenly Father's will to know His doctrine)
James 1:22 (Be doers of the word, not hearers only)
1 Nephi 10:19 (If we diligently seek truth, we will find it)
2 Nephi 2:26 (We are to act, not to be acted upon)
D&C 50:24 (When we receive truth and act on it, we receive more truth)
D&C 88:118 (We seek learning by study and by faith)
David A. Bednar, "Seek Learning by Faith," Ensign, Sept. 2007, 61–68
Make connections
During the first few minutes of every class, help the youth make connections between things they are learning in various settings (such as personal study, seminary, other Church classes, or experiences with their friends). How can you help them see the relevance of the gospel in daily living? The ideas below might help you:
- Invite the youth to make a list of things they have learned in seminary, sacrament meeting, their personal study, or other settings. Discuss as a class how all of these things relate to the plan of salvation.
- Invite the youth to tell about a favorite lesson in which they actively participated (for example, in family home evening, a home teaching visit, a Sunday School class, or Primary). What did they do to participate? How did their participation help them learn better? What are some other ways to participate in learning? (You might point out that making comments in class is not the only way to participate.)
Learn together
Each of the activities below will help inspire the youth to become actively involved in learning the gospel. Following the guidance of the Spirit, select one or more that will work best for your class:
- Encourage the youth to share some examples in the scriptures of people who actively sought to learn about the gospel (see, for example, 1 Nephi 2:14–16 [Nephi], Doctrine and Covenants 138:1–11 [Joseph F. Smith], and Joseph Smith—History 1:10–18 [Joseph Smith]). What principles of learning the gospel can the youth discover as they read about these examples? (For example, Nephi heard what his father taught, had desires to know for himself, and acted on those desires.) What do the youth want to learn about the plan of salvation? How can they apply these principles to guide their learning?
- Invite the youth to read the section titled "Learning by Faith: To Act and Not to Be Acted Upon," from Elder David A. Bednar's article "Seek Learning by Faith." Ask them to look for things Elder Bednar suggests they can do to take more responsibility for their gospel learning. What will they do to apply his counsel to their own efforts to learn about the plan of salvation?
- Write the scripture references from this outline on the board. Invite each class member to select one to read, looking for answers to this question: What blessings come from participating actively in learning? Ask the youth to share what they find. Invite them to individually complete the following sentence: "I plan to be more actively involved in learning the gospel by ..." Ask a few youth to share their plans with the class.
- Invite the youth to read Doctrine and Covenants 58:26–28, looking for ways the Lord's counsel might apply to their role as gospel learners. Ask them to list some choices they must make as students (such as whether or not to make a comment in class or how to prepare spiritually for class). What are some of the consequences of these choices?
Ask the youth to share what they learned today. Do they understand the role of agency in learning the gospel? What feelings or impressions do they have? Do they have any additional questions? Would it be worthwhile to spend more time on this doctrine?
Invite to act
- What can the youth do to apply what they learned as they study the plan of salvation in their other Church classes? How can you support them in their efforts to become active learners?
- Share your testimony of the blessings that come from diligently seeking to learn.

In the fall of 1969, the late Gail George, a dance therapist and the wife of Carl George, professor emeritus of biology, taught a weekly class in modern dance in Old Chapel.
Open to the campus community, the free class, which moved to Jackson's Garden for the spring, also attracted engineers and physicists from nearby General Electric and others from the general public.
The non-credit course informally launched modern dance instruction at Union. The Arts Department offered a dance practicum for credit in 1972-73, but it wasn't until 1984 when the College introduced "The Dance Experience," the first regular credit course offering both dancing and classroom work.
Nearly 30 years later, the College's dance program took a major step forward with the addition of the Henle Dance Pavilion. Adjacent to Yulman Theater overlooking Jackson's Garden, the $3 million, 7,000-square-foot facility is the new home for classes, rehearsals, workshops, performances and other events.
The pavilion was dedicated Saturday as part of ReUnion, the annual celebration of Union's graduates. College officials joined with members of the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff and students in welcoming the latest addition to Union's historic landscape.
"This building is not just about dance," said President Stephen C. Ainlay. "It's about chemists who want to dance, it's about political scientists who want to dance, it's about engineers who want to dance. This space will help us attract the kind of students that Union thrives on."
Designed by architect Jim McKinney, the pavilion replaces the current 1,200-square foot studio in Visual Arts with a 2,200-square-foot dance studio and 1,000-square-foot lobby that will double as rehearsal space. It also includes a costume shop, faculty offices, meeting rooms and gallery.
Under the direction of Miryam Moutillet, Union's dance program enrolls nearly 150 students each term, many of whom combine a dance minor with majors in all fields. There are multilevel technique classes in everything from ballet to Broadway dance, as well as classes in choreography, performance and dance history. "The Dance Experience" remains a staple of the curriculum, combining lectures, performances and workshops.
Calling it a breathtaking space, Moutillet said the Henle Dance Pavilion will be a place where passion for the art form can flourish, inspiring students to explore and create.
"Dance can take flight at Union for years to come," Moutillet said in thanking longtime College benefactor David L. Henle '75 and his wife, Joan, who provided the lead gift for the building. Henle, the head of DLH Capital, a family investment firm, has been a Union Trustee since 2004.
Since he first came to Union 42 years ago as a student, Henle said the College has played a pivotal role in his life's journey. When he became aware of the dance program's need for a modern facility, he wanted to help.
"Steve Jobs said it best," said Henle. "What makes us great as a country is our imagination and our creativity. The arts are our soul."
Emily Lnenicka '12 spoke about the impact the dance program has had on our growth as a person.
The dedication closed with a performance by Jillian Callanan '16, Keilah Creedon '14, Jenna Langhans '13, Allison Minchoff '16, Avery Novitch '16, Jasmine Roth '14, Laura Schad '16 and Mary Suttie '15.
More than 1,500 visitors are expected at ReUnion, which began Friday and continues through Sunday. Besides traditional favorites like the Alumni Parade, a grand fireworks display and the Gala Dinner, visitors helped celebrate the "You are Union" campaign. The largest and most comprehensive fundraising campaign in the College's history, the campaign raised more than $258 million, topping its goal of $250 million.
There were also presentations from notable alumni in a variety of fields.
In addition, Alumni Gold Medals were presented by the Alumni Council to Clifford Mastrangelo '63, retired senior leader of Bell Atlantic Yellow Pages and PDC; David Breazzano '78, Union trustee and president of DDJ Capital Management; and George Bain '73, co-treasurer for the board of directors at Paul Robeson Performing Arts Company. John Garver, professor of geology, received the Faculty Meritorious Service Award.

ReUnion 2014 is scheduled for May 30-June 1.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The federal government has approved Utah to become the first state to have a dual-model health insurance exchange in which the state and the federal government divide responsibilities.
The plan allows Utah to continue to run its existing health insurance marketplace for small businesses, a system that lets employees pick health care plans in an online exchange. The federal government will run the state's individual exchange. The two marketplaces will operate independently of each other.
Gov. Gary Herbert first requested this arrangement in February, and the two sides had been negotiating since. Gary Cohen, head of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, announced the agreement's approval in a letter sent to the governor Friday.
Other states will have the option to consider this model after the U.S. Health and Human Services approves an official rule, a process that usually takes several months, allowing Utah's deal to go forward.
Herbert said in a conference call with media Friday that it was an important and historic day for Utah. He emphasized that the state didn't back down in negotiations. For example, he said, Utah made sure the government knew it would not share information about its residents or businesses with a federal database.
"They've granted us everything that we asked for, and for that I'm grateful," Herbert said.
He applauded Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius for her willingness to work with Utah in crafting a plan that works for both sides. The governor said Sebelius told him in February she hoped to find a way to say yes to Utah's proposal.
"That's proven prophetic," he said. "We've found a way to get to yes with this announcement today."
Health and Human Services granted the request after carefully review, agency spokesman Fabien Levy said.
Until now, states have been choosing from three options:
— Federally run exchanges in which states default to the U.S. government, a plan selected by 26 states including Arizona, Texas and Montana.
— State-run exchanges in which states operate their own marketplaces, a plan chosen by 17 states including Nevada, Colorado and Idaho.
— Federal-state partnerships in which the two sides work together, a plan chosen by seven states including Delaware, Iowa and New Hampshire.
Utah's model is different in that the two sides will work totally independently of each other — Utah as it continues to improve and expand its small business exchange created in 2009, and the federal government in creating a marketplace where regular residents can go to buy health insurance.
Utah was in a unique position, being one of two states, along with Massachusetts, with existing exchanges. But unlike Massachusetts, Utah's marketplace offered no plans for individuals.
Massachusetts has opted to continue to oversee its existing marketplace.
Utah previously considered expanding the marketplace to offer plans to individuals. But Herbert said in February that after meeting with staff, legislators and insurance industry representatives, he ultimately decided a combined state and federal effort would work best.
By being able to focus on the small business marketplace, Utah can move forward with expansion plans that had been on hold due to the uncertainty that came with the passage of the health care overhaul, Herbert said.
These health insurance marketplaces are required under the Affordable Care Act, which goes into effect Jan. 1. Consumers will be able to start signing up Oct. 1 for coverage that takes effect next year.
Utah's marketplace, called "Avenue H," allows small businesses to offer their employees the opportunity to select health care plans in an online exchange that resembles websites that sell airline tickets. About 340 small businesses use the exchange, covering 8,000 employees and their families.
Utah should be given credit for putting "skin in the game" and for being willing to engage the federal government in creating a plan, said Jason Stevenson, education and communication director for the Utah Health Policy Project, a non-partisan, nonprofit health research and advocacy organization.
"They were looking for a willing partner and Utah has stepped forward," Stevenson said.
But the organization has concerns that the division between Utah's state-run business exchange the federal individual marketplace could prevent Utah residents from figuring out what option is best for them. For instance, Avenue H doesn't screen participants to see if they are eligible for Medicaid, Stevenson said.
Another example: it's unclear how a person whose employer is in Avenue H will find out if he could actually get a plan better suited to his family in the individual exchange since the two marketplaces will operate independently.
"We hope that any walls put up around Avenue H are low enough that people and information can pass over them," Stevenson said.
