Let's say you're a young filmmaker. And you've just completed what you think is a major work of art; a film you want the world to see. And lo and behold along comes a Movie Studio that says "Say, Young Filmmaker. We love your picture!" Naturally you're positively beaming, and you wish that everyone you'd ever met could hear this. And then the movie studio says, "Here now, we've got your perfect release date! Your movie is going to come out in theaters the weekend of November the 19th 2010." At which point you should grab your copy of your movie and run for the hills because this is not a movie studio that's going anywhere. Know why? Because today's probably the hands-down worst day of the entire year to open any kind of movie. Good one, bad one, even an indifferent one. It's just not going to make any difference. See, Harry Potter's arrived and what that means is that everything else will go completely unnoticed; all other flicks will seem sort of invisible and meaningless compared to the Hogwarts behemoth that is here. (Just to give you some perspective – the last four Harry Potter books have been the fastest-selling books in history. How's that??) Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, baddie Ralph Fiennes and the rest of the gang are back for what is actually the first part of the final book. (Is this why Breaking Dawn got split up too??) It's high noon for Harry and LVold. Anyway the movie's here today (it already sold out everywhere last night ) and you might want to check for availability on the ticket front should you wish to venture out with other Muggles to catch it. I'm no accountant, nor any kind of businessperson, but I am quite positive this one will be devoured by moviegoers – and then some. Plus, it appeals to both genders and speaks to quite a broad age range so no problems for the date-night crowd, either. It's so big it's not even a guilty pleasure for anyone. It just is. And I'll absolutely see it. Unlike the Twilight series I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books. Didn't appeal to me, although I realize that's just shy of blasphemy these days. However, I have seen every one of the Harry Potter films. Do I remember what happens in each? Absolutely not. Could I tell you what character popped up in which movie? No way. Have I the faintest idea how each HP movie is distinguished/in any way different from one another? None at all. Yet, did I enjoy them? Immensely. Talk about forgetting where you are for two hours. Each one was terrific. Just don't ask me to offer up any kind of chronology other than my basic theory that Harry, Ron and Hermione do actually get older. That's all I know. But fun? Are they ever.
To be fair, there are other movies opening this weekend in the hopes of trying to lure a few people away. First up we have The Next Three Days with Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks and it looks pretty breathless and dangerous (Crowe has to break into a prison to rescue his incarcerated wife) but given its gravitas and Crowe's lackluster luster, perhaps they should have titled it The Next Three Days Will Not Affect This Movie's Popularity Which Is Debatable To Begin With. Moving on, we have an art film in limited release called Made In Dagenham which I'm guessing will get buzz later on down the road. It's based on a Ford auto factory in Dagenham, England where the female employees staged a walkout to protest gender discrimination in 1968. That which is reportedly making this movie click is one Sally Hawkins, the actress who won the Golden Globe for Happy-Go-Lucky a few years back. Not this weekend of course, but in the weeks to come I'm guessing you'll hear more indie buzz for this little film, on account of its plucky and very enchanting heroine. That's what's out there at the cineplex right now. On Monday we'll be back examining more of our PCA Nominees (we haven yet discussed Taylor Lautner!) But for now, have a good weekend and let us know what you think of HP and the Deathly Hallows!

The 5 Grimiest Shots Aimed At Hip-Hop Baby Mommas
After months of letting 2012's most memorable rap line stew through quotables and Internet memes, Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa Bryant finally spoke out about Drake's reaction to her chances of winning $150 million after a pending divorce. "Bitch you wasn't with me shooting in the gym," he quipped on Rick Ross' "Stay Schemin'." The Black Mamba's high school sweetheart fired back on her Instagram account this week. "I love when immature kids quote a rapper that has never been friends with Kobe and knows nothing about our relationship," she typed. "Just shows how gullible they are."
Drizzy later apologized for the lyric, but the line was child's play in hip-hop. Rappers have said and done much more disrespectful things when it comes to a rival emcee's baby's mother.

Associated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Federal Bureau of Investigation is conducting an independent investigation of the fatal shooting of a popular 13-year-old boy by a sheriff's deputy in Northern California.
Sheriff Steve Freitas said in a statement Friday afternoon that he will cooperate fully with federal investigators and welcomes their participation in the probe of Andy Lopez's killing on Tuesday afternoon. The shooting has generated numerous protests and marches in the suburban town of Santa Rosa, with many residents questioning the deputy's decision to fire on the youth.
Freitas also expressed sympathy to the Lopez family and thanked the Santa Rosa community for keeping protests peaceful.
Police say Lopez was carrying a pellet gun that looked like an AK-47 assault rifle.
A timeline released Thursday by the Santa Rosa police shows that only 10 seconds passed from the moment that the sheriff's deputy and his partner called dispatch to report a suspicious person to the moment they called back to say shots had been fired.
FBI spokesman Paul Lee said he did not know why his agency decided to get involved or whether local authorities had requested its help.
More than 100 angry middle and high school students walked to City Hall on Friday, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported. Hundreds of people protested earlier in the week.
City police and the Sonoma County district attorney's office are also investigating.
The Santa Rosa Police Department said two deputies in a squad car encountered the hoodie-wearing Lopez just after 3:14 p.m.
Witnesses say at least one of the deputies took cover behind an open front door of the cruiser, and one yelled twice "drop the gun."

I wish he was mine, I do not have the time (thank you college and parents saying no) nor monetary resources to own a turtle but when I do...I will! I got a job about 3 months ago at the local nature center five minutes from my house and obviously I absolutely love it. It's in my field and it's extremely close, I get a lot of hours and I work with great people. We have quite the reptile collection due to...well being an educational center! We teach school groups and kids about regional wildlife and bring them around to do programs. Aside from getting nipped by a painted turtle who probably thinks he's a snapper, I've never had any problems with any of the animals. I've never feared reptiles before in my life so I knew this job would be perfect. I like the snakes of course, but the Eastern Box turtle has stolen my heart I absolutely love him.
He's a male, we don't name them, so he doesn't have a name but I am tempted to! The kids usually LOVE him, and he LOVES getting blueberries after a hard days work The snake is a corn snake we have. She's a lively one! I guess for now, I can't have any reptiles, but these guys can certainly count. We have King Snakes, Wood Turtles, Spotted Turtles, Painted Turtles, one small snapper (he isn't used in programs!), and a few other snakes.

NEW YORK — British fans of "Downton Abbey" are feeling blue after Tuesday's conclusion of Season 3, even as the U.S. audience eagerly anticipates this third cycle on PBS' "Masterpiece" beginning Jan. 6.
("Abbey" devotees who prefer not to learn what awaits them are urged to stop reading right now.)
One of the stars of this wildly popular British costume drama is leaving the series after its third season. Dan Stevens had opted not to continue beyond his initial commitment, the British network ITV confirmed Wednesday, Dec. 26.
His character, Matthew Crawley, has been written out with what ITV called an "untimely and tragic death" in the season finale. That episode will air in the U.S. in February.
Michelle Dockery will be returning in Season 4 as Matthew's soon-to-be widow, Lady Mary.

'Bachelor' Sean Will Wait Until Marriage to Have Sex Because He's a Virgin. Only Not Really.
'Bachelor' star Sean Lowe knows the show's winner, Catherine Giudici, is the one for him. Apparently, she's also the first one for him.
Well, sort of.
Sean, who is a conservative Christian and born-again virgin (with those abs? What a crime!) says he and his new fiancée will not enjoy relations of a carnal nature until they've tied the knot.
Instead of getting bizzy, Sean will channel his sexual frustration into competing on the new season of 'Dancing with the Stars' — not to mention defending his stance while a nation of boyfriend-less women swoon over his morals.
"From my perspective, I've lived life kind of selfishly for a long time," he told PEOPLE. "Now, I'm going to try to live it the way I know to be right."
Sean's startling confession jibes with earlier reports that claimed he was a virgin, easily bumping him to the top of the ranking of dudes who've never done it, which is the male equivalent of being named Miss Congeniality.
And how does Catherine feel about Sean saving himself, considering she sat by patiently while her soon-to-be hubby test drove two dozen other women on national TV? Well, waiting some more doesn't faze her in the least. She seems to think Sean is some sort of modern-day King of Siam by saying, "I honor him."
ABC will broadcast their nuptials, although no date has been set. Considering Sean is keeping his zipper in the upright and locked position, though, you shouldn't be surprised that he's chomping at the bit to walk down the aisle, saying, "I'm a guy. I'd go to the courthouse tomorrow if she'd let me."
Knowing the prize that awaits that night, it all makes perfect sense. Of course, the ugly track record of 'Bachelor' couples indicates Sean may wind up renewing his V-card sooner than he thinks.

Australians to hold vigils for slain asylum seeker on Manus
Morrison admits Manus information was wrong
Thousands of Australians will gather at vigils across the country to light candles for slain Iranian asylum seeker Reza Berati.
Sam McLean from activist group GetUp says more than 600 snap protests are planned for Sunday night, from Queensland cattle stations to Sydney's Town Hall and Federation Square in Melbourne.
The protests come days after Mr Berati, 23, was killed and 62 other asylum seekers were injured in violent scenes at the Australian-run immigration detention centre on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island.
Mr McLean said the mood would be sombre on Sunday as families and friends observed a moment's silence.
"I think people are very sad and, I would say, a little ashamed that Australia is turning its back on these people," he said.
"A lot of vigil organisers have said they'll be singing the Australian national anthe [which includes the words]: 'To those who come across the seas, we've boundless plains to share.'
"Those people have told me they want to see us advance Australia fair, not advance Australia cruel."
He said participants wanted more transparency about the Manus Island facility from Immigration Minister Scott Morrison.
"We don't know what is being done in our names," he said.
"We don't know the conditions children are being held under on a malarial island. Journalists are not being allowed in to report back to us.
"Our strong message to Scott Morrison is: end the secrecy."
The vigils are due to take place at 8pm (local time) in most major cities, with prominent figures including Imogen Bailey, Father Bob Maguire and Tim Costello all tipped to take part.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time in over five years that a principal has been appointed from outside the district, except for Judith Barranti at Fairmeadow, who was a friend of Superintendent Callan's.
I think it speaks well of Kevin Skelly that we are able to once again attract highly qualified people from other districts, bringing with them new energy, enthusiasm and ideas.

Sound good to me! I have only heard of O'Neil, and only good stuff, like warm, friendly, in touch, easy to talk to.
What happened with the principal's position at Duveneck? No principal yet to replace the one who is leaving? Anybody know?

I heard from a friend who used to teach in San Mateo that she personally would love to work with McEvoy, who will stand firm and take charge, not be pushed around, support her teachers, and also is a great principal in general. Yay for the right direction. These appointments do seem to show that the District is turning toward the right direction with Skelly coming in. Not a moment too soon.

I spoke with an involved parent of a recent graduate of San Mateo High. She said Paly's new principal is a strong leader who will run a tight ship. As the parent of a son at Paly, I have often felt that Paly needs a stronger, more active principal with a vision, someone who sees the need to facilitate better communication (the lack of which is a common complaint among parents).

In most cases, federal policies discourage developers from doing business on Native American reservations, in effect denying tribes the opportunity to benefit from energy projects such as the Dakota Access Pipeline.

'Take Your Rosaries Out of Our Ovaries:' Women's Rights in Argentina and Bolivia
Despite being neighbouring countries, Bolivia and Argentina appear to be a world apart in terms of economics, international relations, and women's rights. Historically, women's rights have been fairly similar in both countries, but while one country seemingly made "progress," the other country appeared to be stagnating. By exploring violence against women, and the current state of contraception and abortion laws it becomes apparent that "progress" does not necessarily bring about social change.

You can't please all the people all the time especially when it comes to creating local historic preservation districts but how about placating a majority of homeowners and at least one nosy legislator?
The Salt Lake City Council has grabbed up the gauntlet tossed down by state Sen. Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, who demanded the city revamp regulations on local historic districts or face a fix by state lawmakers.
The council is not fond of the meddling but nonetheless feels the hot political breath of legislators whose authority can supersede its own.
A majority of council members are molding new ordinances that would, for the first time, rely on homeowner balloting when creating historic districts. The proposed linchpin for creating new districts would be a majority favorable vote 50 percent plus one within a designated area.
In addition to historic districts, the council may create a less rigorous preservation tool, dubbed "character conservation" districts. The proposal would allow residents of any area, historic or otherwise, to create restrictions, most notably on size.
The aim is to head off stalemates like the one now holding the city's east-side Yalecrest area hostage.
But Councilman Luke Garrott fears the council is caving in to state lawmakers and property-rights activists at the cost of historic preservation.
"I'm not willing to gut our historic preservation program for the sake of those political realities," he said regarding the popular vote proposal.
When the Yalecrest community council sought in 2009 to create a new historic district, it was as though the Hatfields and McCoys had invaded the quaint neighborhoods of tudors and bungalows. What began as a heartfelt effort to save the ambiance of Yalecrest in the wake of a spate of tear-downs and ensuing monster houses escalated into a nasty feud pitting neighbor against neighbor.
Before preservationists could marshal a historic district through the ungainly city process, property rights activists had mobilized and solicited redress from Niederhauser.
In 2011, state lawmakers slapped a moratorium on the creation of new historic districts. The wake-up call more than hinted that the city had to give increased credence to property owners' rights.
Mindful of the Capitol Hill gang, the council's discussions are progressing and adoption of new ordinances is expected in coming weeks.
But Garrott fears the city is about to embrace a policy shift that would make all but impossible the creation of large historic districts because too many property owners would have to embrace them.
A proposed ordinance would, for the first time, allow historic districts to be initiated by a petition signed by 15 percent of the property owners in a defined area. The proposal also would allow the City Council or mayor to launch the process, as is the case now. Community councils, which have initiated such districts in the past, would be eliminated from the process
But what sticks in Garrott's craw is this: No matter how a district is initiated, for it to become reality a majority of property owners who send in ballots would have to approve it. Officially, the council would still have the final say yea or nay but Garrott believes no council would override a popular vote.
Small historic districts and character conservation districts may sprout here and there under the proposed scenario, Garrott said. But "meaningful" historic preservation would be undermined.
By contrast, Councilman Charlie Luke, whose east-side district includes the Yalecrest area which encompasses some 1,400 houses in four neighborhoods said the city's historic preservation process is broken. "Yalecrest proved that," he said of the dispute.
According to Luke, if the proposed Yalecrest historic district had a majority of popular support, the area would not have been thrown into turmoil. In addition, he said, the process has to be more clear-cut.
"I'm all for historic preservation," he said. "But I'm also in favor of people having a say on their property."
Luke said a second proposal, which would create the less restrictive character conservation districts, would work in tandem with a revamped historic district ordinance to offer residents relief from monster houses. And the result is still historic preservation, he said.
But Kirk Huffaker, executive director of the Utah Heritage Foundation, is troubled by the majority vote proposal.
"We are not in favor of a community vote on zoning," he said. "That power should rest and always has rested with the City Council."
Jon Dewey, a past chairman of the Yalecrest community council who supports a historic district there, echoed Huffaker's concerns.
"I think the City Council is abdicating its duties in leading the city in preservation," he said. "We should not be zoning by vote. They are setting a dangerous precedent."
In the end, however, the council needs to know that proposed districts have popular support, said Council Chairman Soren Simonsen.
"There is no doubt that any threshold will make it more difficult," he acknowledged. But he added that the 51 percent approval is measured only by the ballots returned to the city. That, he maintained, makes the threshold lower and the historic district designation easier to attain because disinterested homeowners most likely won't participate.

Editors' Note: The Herald is running profiles of each of the six City Council candidates this week. The stories, which started Monday and will finish Saturday, are available on the Herald's website.
By Jim Haug
Herald Staff Writer
Kristen Smith owns two cats, a Siamese tabby named Feller Buncher and a Siamese red point named Cosmo Kramer.
As an artist, she said she's gotten into a "theme" of painting portraits of feline subjects, but she doesn't want to be stereotyped as a cat artist.
"I do dog (portraits), too. Durango is definitely a dog town," said Smith, whose paintings have been displayed at Steamworks Brewing Co. and the Velvet Monkey Hair Studio.
In her run for Durango City Council, Smith is careful to stake out the middle ground.
"I'm not too far to the side of being a tree-hugger, and I'm not a developer," Smith said. "I'm not a real-estate agent. I'm not a retiree. I don't have an agenda."
Smith said she does not "have a background in politics."
"I grew up in a working-class family outside of Detroit. My mother was a social worker. My father worked for General Motors," she said.
Smith, 29, moved to Durango in 2002 and graduated from Fort Lewis College in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in studio art. She earned a teacher certification in 2008 and has taught in Durango School District 9-R as well as at Durango Arts Center.
She works as a server at the Ska Brewing Co.
"I feel like I'm in touch with the residents here," Smith said. "I live and work here. I enjoy the environment here, as well."
Smith considers Durango as "a secret little spot we've got here."
"It's a little secluded, but naturally, Durango is going to grow," she said. "It's just inevitable, so the city needs to have policies that foster healthy growth and continue to support businesses that provide a living wage here and promote polices that preserve our beautiful environment."
Smith advocates a slow but deliberate approach to local issues.
About the contentious subject of accessory dwellings, Smith said, "We should not really be rushed into making a decision."
"We do need affordable housing here, but we want to maintain the quality of life that we enjoy. We don't live in a densely populated area, and we don't want it to become a densely populated area," she said.
As far as the city managing Lake Nighthorse for recreation, Smith said, "That's another one I think we should wait on. I don't think we're quite there yet."
She suggested other government entities eventually might take interest, although the state and federal Bureau of Reclamation already have passed on the responsibility.
"We've got the county, city and the state and the federal government," Smith said. "There are a lot of voices that could come in. I don't think the city necessarily needs to take the reins on managing that quite yet."
The candidate also has sought a middle position on whether there should be any restrictions on plastic bags.
"I don't think I would propose an outright ban or a fee," she said. "I think I would propose a lenience on city sales tax if we were to have people bring their own bags."
When asked whether organic treatments are necessary for public parks, Smith said, "Not necessarily, (but) maybe."

Arsenal end trophy drought with FA Cup win
Arsenal ended its nine-year trophy drought on Saturday, coming from two goals...
St. Paul, MN (SportsNetwork.com) – Radim Vrbata lit the lamp twice as the
Phoenix Coyotes defeated the Minnesota Wild, 3-1, at Xcel Energy Center.
Mikkel Boedker added the other goal and Derek Morris had two assists in the
win. Thomas Greiss made 28 saves as the Coyotes snapped a three-game losing
"We lost three in a row and if you let it slide, you will be behind. We wanted
to make sure we got those two points tonight," said Vrbata on the win.
Dany Heatley notched Minnesota's only goal halfway through the third with Nino
Niederreiter and Kyle Brodziak picking up the assists. Niklas Backstrom made
23 saves for Minnesota, which saw its six-game home winning streak come to an
"It's tough no matter who you are playing, let alone a solid, defensive-
structured team like Phoenix. You get yourself in a hole, 2-0, it's tough in
this league to battle back," said Minnesota defenseman Keith Ballard.
The Wild were dominant at home, going 10-1-2 before facing the Coyotes.
Shane Doan was not expected to play after leaving Monday's game against
Nashville with a lower-body injury, but the captain was in the lineup for the
Doan shoveled a pass through the neutral zone up to Boedker, who faked the
pass and fired a well-placed shot over the glove of Backstrom to give Phoenix
the lead 8:12 into the first.
Tim Kennedy slipped a pass from the right corner to Vrbata, who quickly
wristed a shot at 3:42 of the second.
Minnesota was without the help of Zach Parise, who is expected to miss
2-to-3 weeks with a foot contusion after blocking a shot against St. Louis on
The Wild did not get on the board until 10:02 of the third when Heatley drove
a rebound into the back of the net. Niederreiter took a shot from the blue
line that bounced off the helmet of Greiss and to a waiting Heatley.
Backstrom was pulled with 30 seconds remaining and Vrbata found the back of
the empty net on the power play.
Game Notes
Phoenix is now 6-0-2 with an eight-game point streak at Xcel Energy Center
over the past four seasons … Ballard returned to the lineup after
missing nine games with an upper-body injury … Minnesota will host Colorado
on Friday, while Phoenix will play Chicago at home on Saturday.

Carbon Dioxide Concentrations and Sea Level
By comparing reconstructions of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and sea level over the past 40 million years, researchers based at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton have found that greenhouse gas concentrations similar to the present (almost 400 parts per million) were systematically associated with sea levels at least nine metres above current levels.
The study determined the 'natural equilibrium' sea level for CO2 concentrations ranging between ice-age values of 180 parts per million and ice-free values of more than 1,000 parts per million.
It takes many centuries for such an equilibrium to be reached, therefore whilst the study does not predict any sea level value for the coming century, it does illustrate what sea level might be expected if climate were stabilized at a certain CO2 level for several centuries.
Lead author Dr Gavin Foster, from Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton which is based at the centre, said, "A specific case of interest is one in which CO2 levels are kept at 400 to 450 parts per million, because that is the requirement for the often mentioned target of a maximum of two degrees global warming."

DETROIT - A court date has been set up next week to review a conflict of interest issue that was brought up today between Kwame Kilpatrick and his attorney, Jim Thomas.
The former Detroit mayor was at the federal courthouse as the jury process for his corruption trial began.
Watch: Slimmer, jolly Kwame Kilpatrick back in Detroit
U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Edmunds didn't elaborate on what the conflict was, but said the two would need to come back next Monday to file a motion explaining what the conflict is and that she would then hold a hearing Tuesday on that motion.
In an interview with Local 4 News, Thomas said he also said he wouldn't comment on what the conflict was.
--Jim Thomas
"It's an issue that was raised. At this point, it is evolving. It has not been decided," he said.
Uncut interview: Jim Thomas outside courthouse
He did say the issue was already putting a delay in the process. He said the legal teams were supposed to be getting the potential juror questionnaires back this week to review them, but they now will have to wait until after Tuesday's hearing. He said the legal teams will go though the questionnaires to try to "figure out what the jurors are saying about the case, publicity and any predispositions they might have."
Will the issue allow for Thomas to continue representing Kilpatrick?
"I'm his lawyer now and I'll be his lawyer forever, as far as I'm concerned," Thomas replied.
Kilpatrick back in Detroit
Only Local 4 News was at the corner of Fort and Shelby streets to greet Kilpatrick as he walked into the federal courthouse Wednesday morning.
Raw video: Kilpatrick arrives at courthouse
--Kilpatrick shakes Local 4 reporter Shawn Ley's hand
Kilpatrick said, "Hey how are you doing?" to our crew but refused to answer any other questions.
"How does it feel to be back in Detroit?" Local 4 asked Kipatrick.
Kilpatrick shook his head and his attorney said, "We're not making any comments today."
The disgraced former Mayor was dressed for the first official day of his corruption trial wearing a light colored suit, pink shirt and pink tie.
Rich McKinney shook Kilpatrick's hand as he was walking toward the courthouse.
McKinney made it clear he wasn't supporting Kilpatrick.
"I met him before on other business a while back. I don't like what politicians like him are doing to this country," McKinney said.
--Victor Mercado
Survey of jurors continuing
400 prospective jurors were at the federal court to fill out questionnaires. Both sides will go over the questionnaires once they are completed and will pick 80 of them to finalize later this month. On Sept. 6, those 80 will be called for traditional jury selection.
Twelve people eventually will be selected to decide if the former mayor was running a criminal enterprise with family and friends which included taking cash bribes, kick backs, vacations, private jets and more in exchange for getting contracts in the city.
Other defendants in the case include Kilpatrick's dad Bernard Kilpatrick, his childhood friend Bobby Ferguson and ex-Detroit City Water boss Victor Mercado.
More: Defenders special section
Video: Local 4 legal expert of jury process
The crimes carry a 20-year prison penalty if convicted. Kilpatrick and prosecutors will be going over prospective jurors very closely.
Kilpatrick's trial expected to start in September
The opening statements are expected to being Sept. 14. Then, dozens, if not hundreds, of witnesses will be called to testify.
The trial is expected to take 3 or 4 months, meaning jurors may be spending Thanksgiving, Christmas and the new year close to the courthouse.

Club Tijuana's road woes in the Liga MX continued on Friday as Xolos fell 3-2 to Santos Laguna in Torreon to extend their road winless streak to 18 games.
Santos tallied twice in the first half with a penalty kick finish from Juan Rodriguez in the 14th minute and a Mauro Cejas tally seven minutes later. The Xoloitzcuintles cut the deficit in half in the 24th minute as Cristian Pellerano buried a close-range attempt past Santos goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez.
Santos doubled their lead again in the 49th minute after a goal from Darwin Quintero to put the match out of reach for Tijuana. Xolos attacker Fidel Martinez helped Tijuana mount a comeback in the 60th minute by slotting a left-footed shot into the lower corner of the Santos net. Tijuana continued to push numbers forward in the waning moments, but could not complete the comeback.
Edgar Castillo was the lone American starter as Joe Benny Corona and Herculez Gomez entered in the second half. American defender Greg Garza was left on the bench for the defeat while Paul Arriola did not make the gameday squad.
Tijuana are now 3-3-1 with 10 points in the 2014 Clausura tournament and have taken just four points out of 54 in their last 18 road games. The LA Galaxy face Club Tijuana in the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals in March.
Highlights of the match are below.

9mm Crime Blotter
On Monday, Horry County Police arrested Lorenzo Paez Calles, 34, after he was reportedly caught having sex with someone's dog.
Around 10:45 p.m. Sunday, the dog's owner heard sounds of whimpering coming from the yard.
When the woman went to check on her dog, she "observed the suspect having vaginal intercourse with their youngest female blue nose pitbull," according to the police report.
Calles had a can of beer in his hand, the owner said.
WMBF reported:
When the owner asked the man what he was doing, he replied "I need to speak to your husband," and then ran away.
Police found Calles passed out at his home. He was taken into custody without incident.
Calles has been charged with buggery/sodomy, and is currently being held at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center on an ICE detainer.

|It is stated in the story line that "Ms. Langston and four other executives .... Each executive is an expert .... determine the first and last name of each executive ...." So, then ... I can only assume that all five women are executives, so how can the profit margin specialist not be "among the three executives" when acutally all five women are supposed to be executives?
|Posted by caberet
|Raggedy - To answer your question: I can only assume that all five women are executives, so how can the profit margin specialist not be "among the three executives" when acutally all five women are supposed to be executives? It means that the profit margin specialist is a 4th person, not one of the 3 previously mentioned in that clue. I'm sorry if that wasn't clearer.

|Great job!
|Posted by Gizzer
|I was not able to determine a unique solution to this. I have 3 of the women identified properly, and I know the remaining 2 are Meg Russo and Patricia Mulcahy, who are the ieTrade CFO, who is a leadership guru, and the Lenamar Tech chairperson, who is a profit margin specialist. However, I cannot find anything that determines which name goes with which description. Am I missing something, or is there a clue missing?
|Posted by chriscat
|Gizzer, I have the same issue. The only reason I can think of to conclude that the answer is as given is that the other alternative associates Ms. Russo with Lenamar Tech., which is half of the "false" alternative of clue #3. Logically speaking, though, "A and B" is false unless both "A" and "B" are true, so that shouldn't rule out Ms. Russo being with Lenamar, since Ms. Barnes is not the inventor.
|Posted by caberet
|To answer Gizzer and chriscat: We know that Ms. Russo cannot be the CFO from Clue 1. After going through all the clues, we know that the ieTrade Chairperson with excellent Leadership skills can only be surnamed Mulcahy, Russo or Whitman. We know that the Lenamar Tech Chairperson who is a Profit margin Specialist can ony be surnamed Mulcahy or Whitman. But we were previously told that Ms. Whitman was not with Lenamar, so Ms. Mulcahy must be the Lenamar Chair. I hope this answers your questions. Please let me know if I didn't explain it well enough.
|Posted by chriscat
|I don't understand why the Lenamar Tech Chairperson who is a Profit margin Specialist cannot be Ms. Russo. If you are deriving this from Clue #3, this is not a correct interpretation of the "and" statement in the false alternative, as Ms. Barnes is not the inventor. When I read through your solution and a solution where in Meg Russo and Patricia Mulcahy have reversed attributes, both work for me. What am I missing? (And, btw, I think in your explanation above you meant "We know that Ms. Russo cannot be the CEO from Clue 1." She is in fact the CFO. Anyway, no problem with that point.)
|Posted by Kronos
|I found that the clues are complicated to understand. many variables and can get confusing if not given complete attention. Deserves the high difficulty rating that I and many others have given it.
|Posted by mom_rox
|Hi caberet. I too am confused by the wording. from your hint: "The inventor must be the chairperson or the commissioner." I AGREE "Clue 3 tells us that the inventor cannot be either Ms. Russo or Ms. Barnes." I DISAGREE One possibility (trial and error) is that Ms. Russo can be the Inventor and that Ms. Barnes can be with Lenamar Tech. Clue 3 does not tell you this fact - you have to work through this possibility to find out that this combination will not work. Therefore, the surnames of the Inventor and Lenamar Tech. executives are not exclusively Russo and Barnes, but the wording leaves open the possibility that one of their surnames could be either Russo or Barnes. The clue does not automatically eliminate both surnames for both women. At this point, you can logically deduce the correct solution without any more "trial and error" scenarios, but it takes some time to work through this. Great puzzle, but I think the wording in Clue 3 is too ambiguous.
|Posted by wiser_now
|Again, a challenging and well written puzzle!
|Posted by dreamlvr1432
|I agree that clue 3 needs to be edited. Otherwise an excellent puzzle. :D
|Posted by caberet
|Some people seem to have difficulties understanding clue 3. It's essential to determine whether the 3 options fit into one pair or the other. Other clues show us that the inventor MUST be the chairperson or the commissioner, thereby excluding either Ms. Russo or Ms. Barnes as an option, leaving only the other pair as a possibility. I hope this clears things up. I do thank you for your comments.

|Hww, a hard one to be sure, but fun. :) Thank you, and please make more! The challenge is what makes puzzles fun in the first place . One tiny suggestion if I may, ( I couldn't write one of these puzzles if I had a gun to my head, but I've solved quite a few). In the clue that says, " not one of 'the' three executives..." I would have changed 'the' to 'these', thus making it clear that you were speaking of a fourth person. I had trouble with that too. Thanks again, though, you are clearly very good at this!

|Fiendish! :)
|Posted by extremeblueness
|This one is quite literally impossible. I got Whitman as both CEO and Chairperson, which is obviously impossible. I think the problem arises when you say stuff like "Sabancci Ltd. (who is neither Patricia, who is not the commissioner, nor Rene.)" What this is saying is that Sabancci Ltd. does not have Patricia, and Patricia is neither commissioner nor Rene, as Patricia is closest to the who connected to commissioner, and Rene is grouped in w/ commissioner in the things that Patricia is not (note that it doesn't say that commissioner is Rene). Please fix this, as I don't know what you really mean all the times you say these. Such statements are made in 5, 6, and 7.
|Posted by caberet
|Thank you for your responses everyone. I'm still learning how to express myself precisely and accurately. Folllowing are my explanations for the clues mentioned as being difficult to understand: # 7 - I meant that the Sabancci exec is neither Patricia nor Rene. Patricia is also not the comissioner. #5 - Meg is not the stock options specialist or inventor. Another person, (not Meg) surnamed Mulcahy, is not Arlice. Arlice is not the chairperson. Neither Meg nor Ms Mulcahy is with either Licent or Surat. And Rene is not with Surat. #6 - Ms. Russo is not the CEO. Rene is not the profit margin specialist or the chairperson.

|Thanks for your puzzle. Really great work! I managed to solve it with glpsol (a free linear and mixed integer programming solver, available for most platforms). Just in case anyone is interested to play with it, I have uploaded the model file to pastebin ( http://pastebin.com/UmHmLpFe ). Have fun!

|I found this very tough to go through, the way it is worded is very confusing! e.g. specialist sounds like it's a job so I look at the job positions column every time :(

|Just discovered this website. So much fun! On this puzzle I solved everything down to deciphering who had the political connections and who had stock market expertise. Have gone over all clues forwards and backwards. Can not find clue that helps to decide which of the above are Ann Barnes, President of The Surat Group OR Arline Whitman, CEO of Sabanci. Which clue am I not seeing the answer to this in?
|Posted by PedsRN78
|OMG, ignore above.. Totally missed the answer in first clue, which was so stupidly overlooked. Got everything else right, so had no issues with any of the other clues, or their wording. Excellent puzzle! Thank you!!!

text: Phil Collins Used To Play Drums…and he was damned good at it. Phil celebrated his 60th birthday yesterday. Last year when Genesis was inducted in to the Rock and Roll hall of Fame there was some talk of a reunion of the original line up, with Peter Gabriel out front on lead vocals, and Phil back where he started behind the drum kit and doing back-up vocals. It was then reported that Phil was unable to play drums because of surgery to his vertebrae. We now learn that it is entirely possible that Phil can recover and play drums again…OG Genesis fans await, because while not all of us love the more popular and commercial later-era Genesis stuff, Phil is a very good drummer!

Well-written literary junk food is a fantastic palate cleanser for people whose job it is to read a lot of nonfiction. When you throw sex into the mix — especially forbidden sex — you've got entertainment plus the antidote to becoming a snob who wants to look down on whatever is trendy in popular literature.
Unfortunately, Fifty Shades of Grey isn't a book that can do that for a lot of people. Ana's inner monologue bogs down the story so badly that she quickly becomes detestable, and an erotic novel with a rather pathetic narcissist for a heroine just isn't worth the opportunity cost of reading it. And for a lot of people — maybe a lot of people in their 20s like me — it will feel a little bit creepy, as if they're reading their grandma's sex diary. The dialogue doesn't sound like the recent college grad Ana is supposed to be.
So why has the book gotten so popular? Well, there are a lot of good, patient people out there, and they're horny. If you're able to suspend judgment of the awful writing and glacial pace, the plot has the bare bones of an excellent dirty, sexy story — so much potential spoiled by terrible writing! If you gave the outline to a decent student of creative writing and asked her to rewrite it, it could end up solid masturbatory material for all.
EW is having a Smutt-Off, a contest to see what sort of dirty, erotic stories are lurking in the minds of Eugeneans. Send us a 500-word story that captures everything Fifty Shades doesn't, and we'll publish the winner in print, plus runners up on our website.
You have until June 28. May the best dirty, depraved soul win.

Not only are debit cards safer than carrying cash and more convenient than writing checks, they often offer better fraud and theft protection than either. But, like their credit card cousins, debit cards require careful oversight to ensure you don't overextend yourself - or risk security lapses.
How they work
Debit cards work similarly to checks, with transactions deducted directly from your checking account. You can use them to:
Buy goods and services either in person, on the Internet or by phone, reducing the need to carry cash or a checkbook
Make one-time or recurring bill payments - reducing postage and eliminating worries about missed payments
Withdrawing money
You can complete debit card transactions several different ways: Sign your receipt; place an order online, by phone or mail; enter a personal identification number (PIN); or simply swipe your card at select merchants that don''t require your signature.
Balancing and fees
Unlike credit cards, where the bank essentially loans you money until next month's statement, with debit cards the money is withdrawn directly from your account. Many people like using debit cards so they're not tempted to spend money they don't have.
However, with debit cards, if your account doesn't contain sufficient funds, the bank will either prevent the transaction (like bouncing a check) or cover the shortfall and charge you an overdraft fee. Overdrafts are costly - up to $35 per item - so to keep them in check:
Verify your account balance daily, online or by phone, tracking which deposits, checks and card transactions have cleared.
Enroll in online banking in case you need to transfer funds electronically.
Keep a cushion in your account in case deposits and withdrawals cross.
Record all transactions in your check register immediately. Don't forget about fees for using ATMs outside your bank's network.
When your monthly statement arrives, carefully balance it against your register to prevent mistakes that could trigger fees.
Security measures
Most debit cards carry the same security protections as credit cards - especially when you sign for purchases versus entering a PIN, use your debit card online, or transact with merchants that don't require your signature (typically for purchases under $25). Some financial institutions may extend protections to PIN transactions, so ask yours about its policy.
It's important to check your monthly statements and online balances often and promptly report any unauthorized activities. If your card is lost or stolen, contact your financial institution immediately. This can reduce your liability if fraud losses occur.
A few additional safety precautions:
Always take sales receipts and carbon copies and store them in case you need to reference them later.
Review your statements carefully. If you suspect a mistake, call your financial institution immediately - and always follow up with a confirmation letter.
Report lost cards or unfamiliar transactions immediately. This reduces your liability if fraud losses occur.
Choose and memorize a unique PIN and keep it private. Avoid obvious choices such as your address, phone number or birth date.
Avoid using unbranded or damaged-looking ATMs.
Debit cards can be a safe, easy payment alternative. Just be sure you take the same level of security precautions you would with cash, checks or credit cards.

Ordonez bows out of Derby early
Outfielder hits two homers in first round; Belliard tosses to Rios
By Jason Beck / MLB.com
It was not exactly an upset. Ordonez, initially reluctant to participate, had realistic expectations for the event leading in, trying not to change his swing for home runs. He actually has a history with homers, winning the ESPN-produced Big League Home Run Challenge held prior to the 2003 season, but that was then.
He hit 38 home runs in 2002 with the White Sox. He has hit 83 since, 13 this season, and none since June 2. Instead, he's leading the Majors this year with a .367 average while driving in 70 runs and batting .440 with runners in scoring position.
"I'm a different hitter [now]," Ordonez said earlier in the day. "It was a really exciting moment [winning the ESPN event]. But it's weird, because you're at home plate by yourself and the pitcher's throwing and there's a lot of people around you. Today, I'm just going to go out and have fun and have a good time."
Ordonez showed that batting eye during his time at the plate Monday night, taking pitches from Tigers bullpen catcher Scott Pickens while waiting on one to pull. He made two outs before driving his first home run to the deep dimensions of left-center field, an estimated 422-foot blast.
He came close on a couple of hits after that, hitting a one-hopper to the fence before driving another ball off the fence in left. He was at seven outs when he hit his other homer, this one a 408-foot drive into the left-field seats.
He ended up with the lowest total of the competition, but he still ended up with an All-Star memory.
"It was a good experience," Ordonez said afterwards. "I had a good time."
One Tiger outlasted Ordonez in the Derby. Infield coach Rafael Belliard, owner of two home runs in 1,155 Major League games as a player, was drafted to pitch to Blue Jays outfielder Alex Rios. He made it all the way to the final round before losing out to winner Vladimir Guerrero.
"I was talking to [Tigers second baseman Placido] Polanco and [others], and they told me he threw a good BP," Rios said. "So I just took him."

My computer started acting up a few days ago and it got so serious that I had to do a system restore from backup disks. It went okay and I reinstalled ZASS. I did a scan and 2 viruses showed up in 4 different files; ZA quarantined them. Then things started acting up again, was forced to do another restore. Certain things pointed to Messenger and lsass.exe as possible culprits. I disabled both from msconfig and tried to end process of lsass.exe from Task Manager but it wouldn't let me. Anyway, things went better on the last restore, got ZASS up and running, did another scan and the ziruses are still there, quarantined of course, but still....
They are:
Net-Worm Win32 Kolab.dwx on C:\WINDOWS\System\lsass.exe
Net-Worm Win32 Kolab.dwx on C:\WINDOWS\System32\67.scr
Net-Worm Win32 Kolab.dwx on C:\WINDOWS\System32\...Temp Internet FIles
Backdoor Win32 IRCBot.jsm on C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\sysdr32.sys
While I was running Windows updates, I got messages on both 67.scr and lsass.exe that there was a problem and needed to shut down.
Any help at all is appreciated.

Colton Harvey was convicted of second-degree murder — negotiating from his previous first-degree charge — after entering the plea in front of Circuit Judge William Pearson at the Pope County Courthouse. Colton pleaded guilty to slaying his sister Candace, 16, by shooting her in the head three times with a .22 Ruger rifle while she was asleep in her bed. Harvey reportedly killed his sister at about 8:30 a.m. while their parents had left the house to go grocery shopping, and afterward he traveled to the Franklin County Sheriff's Office to confess to the murder.
Little Rock-based William O. "Bill" James, who defended Harvey in his case, said no clear motive was presented for the murder and the two showed no history of violence other than sibling rivalry. He added that due to different schedules, the two weren't believed to have been in contact with one another for at least a day or two before the murder occurred.
Fifth Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney David Gibbons said Harvey was charged as an adult due to the severity and nature of the crime.
Harvey was previously being held on a $750,000 bond issued by Pearson on Jan. 17 for first-degree murder. He was issued a 30-year sentence for the second-degree murder of his sister and a 15-year-sentence consecutive sentence for the use of a firearm in the slaying. Harvey will receive 143 days credit to his sentence for time served during his disposition.

The dealer will start by either drawing off the top of the deck or off the discard pile. If he gets a low card then he can trade it for one of his cards but he doesn't know what he has so he has to guess except for the one card he has looked at.
After he discards, whichever card that he picks, the next person can either take his card or draw off the top of the deck and so on. When someone thinks they have the lowest hand they yell "golf" on their turn. After that everyone gets one more turn and then they have to flip their cards over.
Everybody adds all their cards up and the one with lowest hand wins. Everybody else has to drink for how ever long their cards say. For example if you got a 14 the winner will start counting for how SLOW OR FAST that he chooses. When he reaches my number 14 then you can quit drinking. Whoever had the highest hand is the last one to stop drinking.
If the person who called golf looses their hand then their hand doubles. After that you play again. If two or more people tie then they would have to draw out of the deck of cards to see who gets the lowest. That person would be the winner.

Saturday May 28th, 2PM at the Somerville Public Library!
Another in Papercut Zine Library's workshop series, magnanimously funded by the Somerville Arts Council, this time held uphill from Papercut at Somerville Public Library.
Even with the advent of the internet, zines remain one of the best sources of non-corporate reproductive health information. Our presenters will hold an open discussion, bring some of Papercut's impressive holdings on menstruation, fertility, abortion, contraception, some props, show and tell, and several decades of experience with enduring and treating everything from cramps to yeasties to UTIs, BV and more! Info sharing fest.
This is as real as it gets!
Note: we will be talking about vulvae, vaginae, cervices & uteri because that's what we know and got. Our expert presenters have lived with these parts for 75 years and have been menstruating for 40 of them. Funsies!
Bonus: you can follow us downhill after the workshop and imbibe the full amazingness of Papercut till 7PM.

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous' started by cooleddie74, Apr 7, 2012.
heh, sometimes i do think this should be called 'the OCD Star Wars collector thread'.
That does seem bizarre, doesn't it?
Who knows, maybe they'll encode an "Exterminate!" anyway, even though we as the audience never witnessed the SWD talk on camera. Personally, it won't bother me either way. I just want that distinctive "casing" to add to my collection.
Actually, my favorites outside the Doctors themselves and the original "Flight Action" TARDIS with the illuminated windows and signs, is Davros. I figured I would have to "settle" for just the Julian Bleach version from "The Stolen Earth". So I was thrilled when CO announced the release of a Terry Molloy "Resurrection..." version. Because I knew to recoup the development costs a Michael Wisher "Genesis..." variant would eventually be announced, too. What I did NOT expect was the David Gooderson "Destiny..." version (a deeper "wash' to the face details) and another Molloy with a shot off hand "Revelation..." tweak. That irked some fans, but I was in hog heaven! Later, we also got Davros in the Emperor casing from 'Remembrance...". The only one CO "skipped" was the Great Healer "decoy". Since that would have required a whole "desk" arrangement that couldn't be reused for something else (unless they just "made up" something), I can understand why CO didn't bother with that one.
Oh, I partially take that back. One other item that blew me away was the 18 inch tall "voice command" Dalek! That is the next best thing to owning a life sized prop! Here's an irony. Remember how the science elite praised Davros for having perfected "voice control" of his travel machine in "Genesis...", a process that seemingly only he could design? Yet, here's a "toy" that responds much the same way!
Hey, now. I resemble that remark.
Yeesh. Part of me is glad that DC Universe is now dead. It means I can leave the freaking collecting community for it. It is just toxic. Everyone throwing blame at everyone else, and saying that the sub failed because they didn't make the specific figures on their wishlist, and that Mattel are a bunch of jerks for running a business and not going ahead with a line when there isn't a minimum amount of interest.
I just saw pics of Hot Toys General Zod...oh Rao...they did an incredible job with him. I wish I could afford these
There's a link posted today over at Jedi Temple Archives about the possibility of Toys "R" Us being the exclusive retailer of many Hasbro Star Wars items starting around the time of Episode VII. It's supposedly some internal TRU memo that got leaked or acquired and then posted online.
Prepare to be gouged!
I know!
I'm kinda glad that I wasn't more enamored with Man of Steel as a movie, or I would be tempted to buy it. That is twelve inches of plastic perfection!
I know it's a long shot...but if they do an Amy Adams Lois Lane Hot Toys figure, then I might seriously considering getting her. I am expecting a Faora.
I'm not. This is the third figure Hot Toys has announced for Man of Steel, and that's about the extent of what they'll do for any line that isn't Iron Man (seriously, they milk the crap out of Iron Man.) They're notorious for not finishing lines. Their Watchmen line had Silk Spectre and the Comedian. Not even Rorschach. They announce the Star Wars license and then make one figure. Granted, a spectacular figure, but what happened to the rest?
Sorry if this isn't the right thread to ask in, but I don't know where else it would go.
I was browsing Amazon recently, and they had TOS style pistol phasers by Diamond Select for under $50. I know they're not museum replicas, but are they any good? I used to have an old hand phaser that I'd bought from Majel herself, and an old flip-top communicator, but I've since lost both. Money is the prime concern here, as I don't really have a disposable income anymore to spend on stuff like this.
They are things of pure joy!
Uh, that doesn't sound right!
Serously, they are nicely crafted prop/toys and are a reasonable alternative to the Master Replicas brand "functional display pieces" that cost several hundred dollars. Though I don't have the documents to prove it, the Art Asylum/Diamond Direct phasers were supposedly used on camera for the "Enterprise" two-part episode "Through a Glass Darkly". That should demonstrate how authentic they are.
the type 1 "pocket" phaser is fully selfcontained with its own button cell power source to illuminate the emitter and play the audio chip. One can change the force setting which increases the rate of LED strobing and the pitch of the iconic cicada like "shriek". The "site" can even protrude. The pocket unit clips into the pistol grip and runs an LED housed in the larger emitter. The knob at the back triggers the "overload" sequence witnessed in "Conscious of the King".
If one had to be anal about something, anything, they might whine about certain parts merely being painted "silver" rather than having actual metallic parts and trim. But that's a quibble at most.
Get it! trust me, you'll be glad you did! This is the kind of toy I wish had existed in the early 1970s when I was still a preteen running about the apartment complex with my buddy Kyle as we pretended to be Kirk and Spock. Instead, we had the "kid sized" Exploration Set model kit or those clunky Remco flashlight guns (with "Star Trek" stamped in a "lost in Space" type font on the casing) which "chirped" like a robotic bird when one pulled the trigger. (Boy, did I ever feel jipped!)
^ I agree with what Redfern said 100%. I love... LOVE... mine. I also have the communicator and two of the tricorders, science and medical. They are really worth the price so get them while you can!
As for me on the collecting front, I am STILL waiting on my Star Wars Black Series 6" set from Entertainment Earth. My order is on back-order until sometime in September. I don't know if I can wait that long. But since I live in a very small town, these figures will never make it to my local store and the local comic store only has R2D2 and asking $40 for him.
But my new Moebius prebuilt Battlestar Galactica will be here on Monday. I will definitely post a picture of her when she gets here!
Thanks, Redfern. I saw what looked like different versions of the pistol phaser by Diamond Select, and more expensive models listed from Art Asylum. I'm not expecting my money to show up in the bank until after Labor Day, and then I have to narrow things down.
And thanks to you too, AstroSmurf. I missed you on the cross-post.
They are all finally here. The Hot Toys Hulk arrived today, and holy crap is this one massive figure:
So here they all are. This is easily now my favorite display in my whole collection:
The Frank Gorshin Riddler's getting an eyeful of green mutant ass.
Which on the old '60s show would be, like, only the 82nd weirdest thing seen.
Those Hot Toys look great all together. You didn't bother with Fury?
I had to pass on him when he came out. Too much other stuff at once. I regret it now, of course. Aftermarket price is ridiculous.
Tell me about it. Hawkeye goes for about $700. Way out of my price range.
Separate names with a comma.

Global Warming and the Rare Haleakala Silverswords
One of the most spectacular sights in the Hawaiian Islands is the HaleakalÄ Volcano. This amazing volcano rises more than 10,000 feet from near sea level at its base. The ecosystems change dramatically as you drive up the twisting road that takes you to the summit. Near the top, you start to see the Silverswords. They are not numerous, but stand out sharply from the dark red rocky soil they grow on. In the early 20th century, the Silverswords suffered, but they have made a strong recovery from early 20th-century threats.
The Silverswords have now entered a period of substantial climate-related decline. New research published this week warns that global warming may have severe consequences for the silversword in its native habitat.
Known for its striking rosette, the silversword grows for 20-90 years before the single reproductive event at the end of its life, at which time it produces a large (up to six feet tall) inflorescence with as many as 600 flower heads. The plant was in jeopardy in the early 1900s due to animals eating the plants and visitors gathering them. With successful management, including legal protection and the physical exclusion of hoofed animals, the species made a strong recovery, but since the mid-1990s it has entered a period of substantial decline. A strong association of annual population growth rates with patterns of precipitation suggests the plants are undergoing increasingly frequent and lethal water stress. Local climate data confirm trends towards warmer and drier conditions on the mountain, which the researchers warn will create a bleak outlook for the threatened silverswords if climate trends continue.
"The silversword example foreshadows trouble for diversity in other biological hotspots," said Dr. Paul Krushelnycky, a biologist with the University of HawaiÊ»i at MÄnoa, College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, and principal investigator for the project, "and it also illustrates how even well-protected and relatively abundant species may succumb to climate-induced stresses."
"The silversword is an amazing story of selective biological adaptation of this distant cousin of the daisy to the high winds and sometimes freezing temperatures on the high slopes and thin soils of HaleakalÄ volcano," said USGS Director Marcia McNutt. "Despite the successful efforts of the National Park Service to protect this very special plant from local disturbance from humans and introduced species, we now fear that these actions alone may be insufficient to secure this plant's future. No part of our planet is immune from the impacts of climate change."
The HaleakalÄ silversword (Argyroxyphium sandwicense macrocephalum) grows only on a single volcano summit in HawaiÊ»i, yet it is viewed by 1–2 million visitors annually at HaleakalÄ National Park. Although the decline and extinction of other rare species with small ranges (and the accompanying loss of biodiversity) can easily go unobserved and unappreciated, the silversword's high profile makes it a good example with which to educate the public about global climate change.
