Max Irons and Jake Abel are chasing each other up and down a hallway at the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia while Stephenie Meyer looks on with a maternal smile.
They're blowing off steam after a solid block of media appearances to promote their new film, "The Host," an adaptation of Meyer's 2008 best-seller. The film, Meyer's follow-up to the blockbuster "Twilight" series, opens Friday.
The actors – either of whom could give Robert Pattinson a run for his money as a movie heartthrob – form two sides of a very peculiar love triangle (or perhaps more accurately a love rectangle) at the heart of the film, a peculiar sci-fi adventure about an alien invasion that's light on mindless violence, explosions and spaceships and heavy on character development and sentiment.
The object of the men's affection is a spirited, willful young woman in her early 20s played by the remarkable 18-year-old Irish actor Saoirse Ronan ("Hannah," "Atonement"). But she's not actually an object of desire. She's two people inhabiting the same body.
Born Melanie Stryder, Ronan's character was a child when a race of tiny aliens named Souls descended on the Earth and used human bodies as their hosts, in the process killing the host's persona.
An independent film coproduced by Meyer, "The Host" is directed with a sure hand by Andrew Niccol, whose edgy, thoughtful sci-fi films include "Gattaca" and "In Time."
Meyer, 39, said she handpicked Niccol, who won an Oscar nomination for writing Peter Weir's prophetic dystopian fantasy "The Truman Show." "Andrew came up with the screenplay that was really lovely," she said, "and it focused on character more than anything else."
Meyer and Niccol enjoyed the best of both worlds: They made the film outside the studio system, but with a healthy $40 million budget.
"The Host" picks up and fleshes out some of the more interesting themes raised in the "Twilight" series. It poses some lofty questions about the nature of identity – are we our bodies or our minds? It inquires into the nature of love and our responsibility to our planet.
"The Host" "examines the idea of how we take for granted our bodies," said Meyer. "It really makes you stop and appreciate having a functional body. I mean, when you think about all the things we can do, all the senses we have, it really makes you feel a lot of gratitude."
Meyer's film swings into action when Melanie, who has been on the run from the aliens with her lover Jared (Irons), is caught by Terra (Diane Kruger), a rather fanatical member of Seekers, the aliens' version of the police force.
Melanie is forced to become a host for a very interesting Soul named Wanderer. Trouble is, Melanie's inner self survives, and the two personas struggle for control.
One thing that deeply disturbs Melanie, Meyer said, is the aliens' kind, peaceful demeanor.
"The aliens aren't monsters who come in and kill everybody," said Meyer. "What makes this book different, what is unusual, is that the bad guys don't really seem bad."
In fact, the Souls invaded Earth out of love – for the planet Earth, which they felt was being destroyed by humans.
"They judged us and condemned us and decided we didn't deserve the Earth," said Meyer. "And honestly, from a distance, you probably could make the same call."
Ironically, it's the humans who display the most violence in "The Host," including a group of survivors led by Melanie's uncle, Jeb Stryder (William Hurt), who live in an elaborate system of caves in New Mexico.
When a self-divided, confused, frightened Melanie shows up at the cave, she's treated as a prisoner of war. Jared slaps her violently when she claims that she's both Melanie and Wanderer and that she still loves him.
"I know a lot of people had said that (Jared) treats her badly," said Irons, 27, whose father is Oscar-winning British actor Jeremy Irons.
"I think the kind of pain (he feels) is unimaginable. First, you lose all your family … then you find someone you can love, someone who personifies everything that you loved about the world. Then you lose her, too."
A slap seems mild, said Irons, given the situation: "After all that loss, then having her come back — as an alien — to be there as a constant reminder of that pain."
Yet Jared's friend Ian (Abel) feels differently, and he does the unthinkable: He falls in love with the alien inside Melanie, squaring one of the most awkward, singular love triangles in recent movie history.
Abel, 25, best known for his role as Luke Castellan in the "Percy Jackson" film series, said he was stunned by Ronan's ability to project two different personas on camera.
"For such a young person, she is insanely gifted and intuitive," he said. "It just makes your job so much easier."
If Meyer's "Twilight" films are any indication, "The Host" may very well transform Ronan into an international megastar.
Meyer initially felt the actor was too young to carry the weight of the story.
"Then I saw 'Hannah,' and it completely changed my mind," said Meyer. "She has an emotional maturity that really kills me."
Meyer, who planned "The Host" as the first of a trilogy, said Abel, Ronan, and Irons all will be back for the sequel.

text: LOL, not sure how that happened... I always wanted an iPhone because so many cool apps are available. But the folks at Verizon convinced me that the Razr is a far superior phone, and while it may not have access to as many apps, I would have access to the ones I really use. And they made me feel good about my purchase, but now that I'm home, I have a twinge of regret. But before buying I was in 2 other Verizon stores and they also tried to steer me from an iPhone, so I wonder if Verizon just would rather not sell as many iPhones. Maybe apple wants too big a cut from Verizon... just seems weird that ALL of them pushed me away from an iPhone. The thing is, I know a lot about apple apps as we have all kinds of apple products in our home..... I'm just hoping that I can find some apps that are similar to what I'll be missing.... iMovie, Pages, and a few games I love. One thing I did notice tonight is that there doesn't seem to be a Hulu+ app for Android. That kind of makes me sad. Oh, and this is probably covered in 100 other threads, but are there any absolutely MUST HAVE apps that you think EVERYBODY should have on their phones?

The Introvert's Guide to Conference Networking
The Big Three Webmaster Tools Roundup
Coverage of
hot topics, shuffles, sound bytes, shindigs, attaboys
and word on the wire.
|FEATURE: The Introvert's Guide to Conference Networking
networking is one of the most compelling reasons for professionals to
attend events in their niche. However, for introverts, the only
difference between conferences and your horrifying experience as a
13-year-old in P.E. is that you wasted a considerable amount of money to
feel tortured and uncomfortable.
Allowing yourself to fall into the Introvert Trap during conference time will hurt not only your personal brand, but the brand of your company as well. It's time to take back control. When it's conference time, introverts must put on their game faces and learn the tricks to making connections with ease.
BACK TO BASICS: The Big Three Webmaster Tools Roundup
engine optimization professionals are part artist, part scientist. An
artist's inventiveness comes into play when finessing modifications and
creatively addressing site visibility. The scientist's skill is required
to perform tests, analyze stats and manage technical aspects. Like any
scientist, for an SEO to do her job effectively, she needs to be armed
with a powerful arsenal of tools. Fortunately for SEOs, there are a
number of tools at their disposal, including those provided by the three
major search engines.
Hot Topics
The Battle for Authenticity in Social Media
Consumers turn to social media for information about the products and brands they're interested in. It allows for powerful word of mouth and viral success that marketers couldn't get otherwise. As a result, search marketers have become very aggressive with their efforts to leverage social media sites to help their clients get links and to increase their search engine rankings. Sometimes they end up throwing ethics to the wind in the process.Proving You Are Who You Say You Are
The issue of fake avatars in social media has been front and center since June's Search Marketing Expo Advanced when using fake avatars to push your brand was discussed during the controversial Give It Up session. Over the past few weeks, it's been brought back into the spotlight with Michael Gray recently arguing that fake avatars are no different than a politician setting up a Twitter account.
Lisa Barone from Bruce Clay was quick to disagree in her post entitled The Use of Fake Avatars In Social Media. Lisa argued that the difference between a manufactured social media profile and a brand ambassador is that brand ambassadors provide a lot of value to a social community. They give members someone to interact with, reach out to, and support. Fake avatars don't. That sentiment was echoed in Li Evan's post I'm a Social Media Goody 2 Shoes... And Proud Of It!Being Genuine, To Yourself and Your Company
Even when you're talking to a real person and not a fake avatar, it can be difficult to maintain authentic relationships online. Corporate bloggers feel the pressure to maintain authentic blogging and represent their brands while not losing themselves. Social media enthusiasts struggle to build Social Media Relationships Without a Face and put the "social" back in online interactions. And we're all struggling to remind ourselves that just because we can't see the people we're interacting with online, doesn't mean we shouldn't be respectful of their feelings.
That sentiment was also expressed by Donna Fontenot when commenting on the viciousness that had found its way into the SEO blogosphere and social media outlets this summer. Donna vowed to no longer take part and urged other search marketers to do the same.Focusing on the Connections That Matter
The social sites themselves are now joining the fight to promote authentic social relationships, with both Twitter and Pownce recently implementing limits for how many people users can follow.
It's clear there's a battle in social media right now as aggressive marketers attempt to forge as many relationships as possible to get the most reward. But like with all things, it's often quality and not quantity that matter. Social media is about community and participation, the more time spent communicating and providing value to other social media members, the more your knowledge and personal social credibility increase. But that participation has to be real. Fake avatars aren't going to cut it.

Suki Cheema's Rajasthan Collection
When I found out about Suki Cheema's new hand-printed home collection, I couldn't wait to share it with you here. The textiles entail the graphic boldness and exquisite hand detailing that you and I often admire. The collection includes hand-embroidered pillows, hand-woven throws, plush quilts, rugs, and a table-top series:
I was particularly drawn to the black and white designs, though the more colorful ones are also beautiful and exemplify the collection's origin: travel through India. After working eight years with Diane Von Furstenburg, Suki started up his own line of home accents and now brings us the Fall 2010 Rajasthan Collection we see here.
Prices range from under $20 for small tabletop items to $350 for rugs. As the collection becomes available at retail locations this summer, we'll be sure to keep you updated with purchasing information. Visit sukicheema.com for more information.

Click here to register for this event
Juliann B. Dorff has been a lecturer teaching Art Education in the School of Art at Kent State University for thirteen years. During this time she presented extensively at the Ohio Art Education Association, National Art Education Association and the Council for Exceptional Children conferences. Ms. Dorff is a contributing author to the book Understanding Students with Autism through Art (2010) published by the National Art Education Association and was a participant at Examining the Intersection of Arts Education and Special Education: A National Forum in the summer of 2012, resulting in her published white paper "The Intersection of Arts Education and Special Education: Exemplary Programs and Approaches." She received the Outstanding Teaching Award from Kent State University, was recognized by Ohio Magazine for Excellence in Education and as a Friend of Kent Public Schools for her work with students with autism at Kent Roosevelt High School. Ms. Dorff's teaching philosophy is based on her dedication to being an example of good teaching for her students.
During her years at Kent State University she worked to provide our art education students with the knowledge and experience to address the needs of students with special needs through art. By incorporating hands-on teaching experience to supplement textbook study, Kent State has been able to provide pre-service art educators with solid preparation for teaching all students, as well as a personal confidence and enthusiasm for the power of art to impact the lives of all their students. This has required collaborative relationships and partnerships with area schools and educators.

You may want to look into artisan bread. Do a google search and put in artisan bread Zoe star tribune. This is a way of making artisan breads, french bread, bread bowls, pizza crust, pita bread, etc and it couldn't be easier. You literally put flour, water, salt and yeast in a bucket, stir it up and let it sit for 2 hours. Cut off a piece of the dough, shape it, let it sit for 40 minutes and bake. It's hot, home made bread with a crusty outside and soft yummy bread inside. You can even put the leftover dough in the fridge and make bread every day. Give it a try! Wendy

The ChiCrossCup crew put on a fantastic UCI race weekend over New Year's Eve / New Year's Day. I won't try to summarize for you, because there are tons of great stories, comments, photos and videos to be found on the web, starting here and here and here. It was muddy – really muddy, and due to a miscommunication on my part, my two-person volunteer pit crew for Sunday's race was not present and I did the entire race (until I got pulled, that is) without a bike change. I love the post-race pictures of my bike below:
|New Red crankset revealed!!
|Firecrest rim profile is super aerodynamic.
|Ultralight crankset was a huge advantage this weekend.
I thought this might be a good opportunity to share my post-race bike maintenance regimen with you. After every muddy race, and there have been several this year, I have a two-step plan:
1. Hose off the bike
2. Oil the chain
That's it. In fact, since I built up my "A" bike for this year in September, I've done 29 races and subjected my bike to a lot of power washing, and I am still using all the original bearings, cable and housing, chain, brake pads, etc. I've had to make a couple of bike repairs due to a soft rear derailleur hanger (finally cured with a steel one-off hanger), but all the typical maintenance items are still going strong.
On a final note, while there are still a couple of weeks left in my CX season, I think my body decided to go in to winter hibernation a month ago. I'm still having great fun out there and I really appreciate all the heckles and cheers, folks. Thanks so much!

Fall 2009
Laboratory Instructors: Melissa Beers, Tucker Crum and Andrea Sequeira
Lecture: T/F 11:10-12:20
Lab: M 1:30-5; T 12:30-4; W 2:15-5:45; Th 1-4:30; F 1-4:30
Welcome to BISC 219!
Over the course of the semester, you will perform experiments that use two model organisms: the nematode worm , Caenorhabditis elegans and the plant, Nicotiana tabacum. Your experiments will explore gene regulation and expression in each of these systems and will use some of the most important techniques in molecular biology.
The success of your experiments is largely in your own hands. Please read through the entire set of experiments before beginning a lab series and read again, carefully, the portion to be done in lab that day before starting your work. Try to avoid the "hands-on- brain-off" pitfall common to lab students; instead, think as well as do. Be aware of what is actually happening in your tube during each step of a protocol. Know where you are in the stepwise progression toward answering your experimental questions as you complete each part of an experiment or series. Success in these labs will depend on paying meticulous attention to detail and on following instructions precisely. It is equally important to understand the conceptual basis of your experimental design and its goals. By doing all this, you will eventually see the results of your faith and hard work: you will have modeled the way science is done by scientists.
Many of the reagents used in these experiments are expensive and they require many hours of preparation. In using them, please exercise care and common sense to avoid contaminating reagent stocks and to make sure you don't "hord" shared reagents. A considerable amount of money has been spent to provide enough equipment of adequate sophistication so that each student will have "hands-on" experience. For example, you will be using micropipets for dispensing tiny quantities of solution very accurately. These micropipets cost approximately $250 each. Please treat all of the equipment with care so that many classes of genetics students can use them.
At times you will be required to follow specific instructions concerning the handling or disposal of materials. Please obey these instructions precisely, both for your own protection and to comply with established guidelines for use of these reagents. You should read the Wellesley College Safety Information at: http://www.wellesley.edu/ScienceCenter/Safety/safety_index.html. This site has specific safety information related to the type of experiments you will perform. There are times when you should wear gloves in lab to prevent contaminating your samples and also to prevent your samples from contaminating you. Please remember, however, that your gloves can be easily contaminated if you touch your face, hair, etc. and that you can contaminate door-knobs, computer keyboards, phones or other non-lab equipment with your gloves. Change your gloves often and never touch non-lab equipment (such as computer key boards) with gloved hands unless specifically directed to do so.
On occasion you will be expected to come into lab outside of normal hours to examine the progress of your experiment or to inoculate cultures in preparation for the following lab. We have tried to keep the extra time to a minimum but please understand that BISC219 lab is an ambitious program in genetics requiring your full commitment and cooperation.
The three series of experiments you will perform during the semester are:
Series 1:
Series 2:
Series 3: Plant Genetic Engineering
There is an extensive and helpful BISC219 course website at: http://www.wellesley.edu/Biology/Courses/219/Welcome/welcome.html The lab procedures section of this course website contains much useful information and links to relevant reference materials. Make sure you visit this section often at: http://www.wellesley.edu/Biology/Courses/219/Lab_pro/lab_pro.html
You will be expected to keep a lab notebook of all the work done in these experiments. This notebook will not be collected or graded but should be useful to you when you write your scientific paper on your work at the conclusion of each series of experiments. Protocols will be provided in lab but an outline should be found in your notebook along with all results and calculations.
Acquisition of scientific writing skills is a primary goal of the lab experience; therefore, three papers will constitute the bulk of your lab grade. The format for the papers is described in the pages that follow. Please heed these instructions as well as any additional information provided by your lab instructor. The papers are due in lab, generally a week after the conclusion of each series of experiments. There is a 5% per day penalty for late work. All major assignments must be completed. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, no work will be accepted for point credit more than one week after the due date.
In addition to writing scientific papers, you will read and discuss three primary research articles that are related to your experiments. These discussions will take place during the last lab of each series. A copy of the first research paper to be discussed is included at the end of the lab manual. You will be directed to electronic versions of the other papers. The discussions will be graded.
We sincerely hope that you find your introduction to the world of genetics both exciting and intellectually stimulating. As always, we appreciate comments and suggestions for improving the program. Good luck and have fun!

Will The Market Really Pay You Next Fall For All Those Extra Soybean Acres?Tweet
Are you planning more soybean acres this year, as the market anticipates? Are you undecided? Are you staying with a normal corn and soybean rotation that is guided by agronomic issues, rather than market prices? Probably one third of those offering an answer will fall into each category. While fertility, disease, and insect pest pressures may dictate your acreage decision, those who are planting more soybeans or are undecided may need to work with the market more than usual this year. Just because current prices may favor soybeans that may not always be the case when it comes times to take it to town.
Commodity prices have not only fallen from the past several years, but the relationships between corn and soybean prices have also changed over time. If you ordered seed corn and seed beans based on the 2.46 price ratio offered by the crop insurance guarantees, you were obviously planning to net $4.62 for your corn and $11.36 for your soybeans. And it turns out that the 2.46 price ratio was well above the ratio of the past 15 years.
University of Illinois Farm Management Specialist Gary Schnitkey says there have been two distinct periods of time in the evolution of using corn and soybean price ratios to guide acreage. From 1972 to 1998 the soybean to corn price ratio averaged 2.40. Since 1998, the ratio has average 2.20. Because the ratio was lower, corn had a higher value, and corn acreage expanded 23%, while soybean acreage expanded only 4%.
Schnitkey says the 2.46 soybean to corn ratio reflected by the crop insurance guarantee this year is relatively high, exceeded only by the 2.47 ratio of 2008. In that year, corn acreage dropped by 8% and soybean acres increased by 17%. Whether we will see such a dramatic shift this year remains to be seen.
Although acreage intentions will be reported by USDA on March 31, actual planted acreage will not be confirmed until the end of June. In the interim, prices may change substantially. One crop or another may try to bid up prices and buy acres, or the price of one crop may decline, and pull the other down with it. Since we have shifted from a demand to a supply market, the latter is more likely the case. That makes it more incumbent for farmers to match their seed purchase decisions with a corresponding forward sale before any premiums disappear due to the Planting Intentions report.
Those things happen, says Schnitkey, who says, "The relationship at harvest will be important in the final determination of relative returns." Schnitkey looked at the relationship between corn and soybean price ratios in the spring and the fall, using projected crop insurance guarantees and harvest prices. He says, "There is some correlation between projected and harvest soybean-to-corn price ratios (.28 correlation coefficient). Higher harvest price ratios tend to be associated with higher projected ratios; however, there is considerable variability. A wide range of harvest ratios occur near 2.46, suggests that harvest ratios can vary from projected ratios."
Schnitkey's recommendation is that, "Relative prices at harvest could differ from those in the spring. This suggests that farmers switching acres this spring should consider locking in some of the return difference through marketing contracts. It also suggests making acreage changes based strictly on relative prices may not result in the acreage mix that optimizes profits. Longer run rotational and yield considerations should enter into planting decisions."
The crop insurance spring guarantee was a ratio that pointed to the market wanting more soybeans than corn. Farmers, who are going to plant more soybeans, should do so in conjunction with marketing contracts that take advantage of the current premium. Such price ratios can change during the course of the growing season, and fall delivery prices may end up being different than what had been planned in the spring.

Back from vacation, I'm catching up on things I missed last week. Dan Ikenson did a fine job on President Obama's boasting about how he saved the automobile industry. But a few days later Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post's "Fact Checker," was more brutal:
We take no view on whether the administration's efforts on behalf of the automobile industry were a good or bad thing; that's a matter for the editorial pages and eventually the historians. But we are interested in the facts the president cited to make his case.
What we found is one of the most misleading collections of assertions we have seen in a short presidential speech. Virtually every claim by the president regarding the auto industry needs an asterisk, just like the fine print in that too-good-to-be-true car loan.
Here's a sample of the specific analyses:
"GM plans to hire back all of the workers they had to lay off during the recession."
This is another impressive-sounding but misleading figure. In the five years since 2006, General Motors announced that it would reduce its workforce by nearly 68,000 hourly and salary workers, creating a much smaller company. Those are the figures that generated the headlines.
Obama is only talking about a sliver of workers — the 9,600 workers who were laid off in the fourth quarter of 2008.
And that's why President Obama's speech was awarded Three Pinocchios.

Electric bikes are slowly picking up speed. Already booming in Europe and Japan, these bike-path legal bicycles combine a normal drivetrain with an electric motor, which is usually embedded in the rear hub. You decide how much to juice your pedaling with the motor, allowing you to fly up steep hills or commute to work without huffing and puffing, then push it manually when you want a workout. There are two types of electric bikes: a "pedal-assist" that kicks in only while you are pushing the pedals, and a throttle-actuated motor that works without pedaling. Electric bikes aren't light (typically more than 50 pounds) or cheap ($2,000 to $4,000 for a model with a 36-volt or 48-volt motor and a lithium-ion battery good for 500 to 1,000 charges). But they're far cheaper than a moped or motorcycle and are invaluable for anyone who wants the joys of cycling with less of the sweat.
Throttle jockey
Currie Technologies eFlow E3 Nitro: Throttle-drive 20-speed from Simi Valley-based company has a 500-watt rear hub motor, a battery pack housed in the seatpost, and a top speed of 20 mph with no pedaling.
Likes: It's powerful. With no pedaling, it held a steady 20 mph against the wind. The ride is smooth and balanced due to a 1-inch-travel suspension fork and the central location of the battery pack, which is removable for remote charging. The stem-mounted LCD console shows speed, distance, battery charge and level of selected power assist. Battery life is extended by regenerative braking. Quick-release hubs and a simple watertight motor connector make wheel removal easy.
Dislikes: At 52 pounds; it takes a while to get up to speed with unassisted pedaling.
Price: $3,995. http://www.currietech.com
Pete's Electric Bikes eMotion City: Spanish-built "Pedal-assist" bike (meaning you have to pedal to make the motor kick in) with a unique mid-drive, 250-watt Japanese-made Panasonic motor. It includes a step-through frame with a rack, battery pack placement behind the seat tube, a suspension fork and an unlimited-gearing NuVinco hub.
Likes: Great handling, comfort and hill climbing because of the central location of the battery and the relatively small engine, which the company claims is as efficient as bigger engines due to its placement on the crank, rather than the rear wheel. It has a claimed range up to 65 miles on flat terrain in economy-assist mode. It's relatively light at 48 pounds. A full battery recharge takes five hours.
Dislikes: None
Price: $2,300 to $3,200 depending on options. http://www.petesbikes.com
Bargain bomber
Prodeco Outlaw: High-performance model of Pompano Beach, Fla., maker of lower-cost electric bikes. The eight-speed hardtail mountain bike has a 48-volt rack-mounted battery, a gigantic 750-watt rear hub motor, suspension fork and a thumb throttle.
Likes: Beautiful, bargain priced, great handling and blazing fast, topping-out at claimed 28 mph and 18-25 miles per charge. Pedaling manually, it feels like a regular bike when you get it up to speed. Its thumb-actuated throttle is the most comfortable of the throttle bikes, allowing you to control speed without hyperextending your wrist.
Dislikes: Weighs 62 pounds, so getting up to speed takes a while. Has no kickstand, like the other bikes, or speedometer (only an empty/full battery indicator on the right-hand grip), so you can't verify the speed. The battery is on the rack, so it can't hold cargo.
Price: $2,199. http://www.prodecotech.com
All-terrain vehicle
Pedego Trail Tracker: Throttle-drive single-speed cruiser from Irvine-based company has massive 4-inch-wide tires that can handle beach sand and dirt roads. It includes a powerful 48-volt, 600-watt rear-hub motor, rack-mounted battery and an unassisted top speed of 20 mph.
Likes: No limits; tackles the beach, mountains, you name it. Comfy padded seat too. On a full battery charge, the giant engine can take you 15 to 30 miles at 20 mph with no pedaling (depending on rider weight and terrain), and 30 to 50 miles with pedaling.
Dislikes: Porky at 68 pounds.
Price: $2,975. http://www.pedego.com

The New cross-licensing agreement between Dow AgroSciences and Monsanto marks a new chapter in biotech trait licensing.
Under the terms of their agreement, the companies will create corn hybrids that combine eight different herbicide-tolerant and insect-protection genes. The traits include Dow AgroSciences' Herculex I and Herculex RW technologies; Monsanto's YieldGard VT Rootworm/Roundup Ready 2 and YieldGard VT PRO technologies; and Roundup Ready 2 and Liberty Link tolerance.
"This an exciting time for both companies, for agriculture and for farmers," says Ernesto Fajardo, head of U.S. crop production for Monsanto. "By bringing together the two companies that have commercialized the trait technologies most widely used in agriculture today, we can more quickly provide farmers an all-in-one answer to their demand for a comprehensive yield protection from weeds and bugs."
The companies anticipate that the technology, called SmartStax, will be available by the end of the decade. Many of the traits have previously been approved or are in advanced regulatory review by appropriate agencies.
Terms of agreement
Company officials would not indicate how long discussions had been in the works to form the agreement. "These are complicated agreements, but both parties were so excited at bringing a revolutionary solution to the corn farmer that at no point did anyone doubt the need to do this agreement," says Jerome Peribere, president and CEO of Dow AgroSciences.
The agreement also puts Monsanto as the representative for third-party licensing of SmartStax to independent seed companies through Holden's/Corn States. Both Dow and Monsanto will retain the right to independently stack additional trait technologies and combinations with SmartStax.
Also under the agreement, Dow's Mycogen corn seed brands, Monsanto's national corn seed brand (Dekalb) and regional seed brands sold by American Seeds Inc. will cross-license germplasm to each other's seed brands for a 10-year period, opening the doors for each company to use additional genetic sources to develop new hybrids.
Future collaboration
Don't be surprised if licensing agreements continue among the players in the biotech arena. "As we have the technology that we think will benefit from further collaboration, you can be sure we will do this kind of thing," Peribere says.
Monsanto's Fajardo concurs. "Monsanto is always open to collaboration and partnerships that will bring value to our customers and is a win-win for both parties," he says.
Syngenta says collaboration in the marketplace among competitors is nothing new, noting its partnership with Pioneer to out-license corn and soybean genetics under Greenleaf Genetics. "Syngenta has a high-quality pipeline of products with comparable or better benefits," says Tom Gahm, spokesperson for Syngenta. "The bottom line is that corn producers will have a lot of choices in the coming years."
Dean Oestreich, president of Pioneer, says the Dow-Monsanto announcement indicates that Monsanto "needs to get on board with the better Bt, Herculex." Herculex was developed by both Pioneer and Dow AgroSciences.
"We are developing technologies that we are actively out-licensing to others in the industry. I see that going forward," Oestreich says. Pioneer will continue to develop products with stacked-trait technologies, including YieldGard, Herculex and Pioneer's new Optimum GAT technology.
The agreement may put to rest, at least for now, the "we're better" marketing battle between Dow and Monsanto, in which each company debated the merits of each other's corn rootworm technology. Peribere says the ultimate decision on what is best lies with the producer. "As far as I'm concerned, the farmer will choose what is best for him," he says.

Harvard Fraudster Returns to Jail for Dropping Another H-Bomb
The Talented Mr. Adam Wheeler—the "crypto-tendentious" literary beefcake convicted of larceny, identity theft, and fraud for scamming his way into Harvard—is back in jail for violating the terms of his probation. His mistake: repeating that old lie about being Harvard material. The Harvard Crimson reports:
Wheeler, who was sentenced to ten years probation in December, allegedly violated the condition of his probation that prohibits him from portraying himself as a Harvard student or claiming that he ever attended Harvard. Probation officer Angelo Gomez Jr. said in court today that Wheeler broke that term when he submitted a resume to U.S. Green Data, Inc. which said he had attended Harvard.
To his credit, Wheeler did attend the university for a year, it's just that he didn't "deserve" to be there (does anyone?), and most of his award-winning coursework happened to be plagiarized. As strange as it is that Wheeler's probation basically requires him to deny reality—what is he supposed to say he did that year? 'I was busy defrauding a university but I can't tell you which one'?—let's leave that existential dilemma aside for the moment.
Instead, let's look at why Adam felt compelled to drop the H-bomb. According to his lawyer, it was his "fragile" mental state and the shitty economy:
Sussman said that Wheeler felt financial pressure to pay the $45,806 restitution to Harvard ordered by the court in December and his rent after he lost his job. Wheeler had only just found a new job, performing manual labor, a week ago before he was summoned to court today for this violation.
Welcome back to the non-privileged majority, Adam. Facing up to two and a half years of jail time if found guilty of violating his probation, Wheeler is currently behind bars awaiting his next hearing.

WILMINGTON, Del. – The hate that dripped from Alfred Rosenberg's black pen seemed lost to history until Thursday, when federal agents here unveiled 400 missing pages of the senior Nazi aide's diary, which they mysteriously found in Lewiston, N.Y. – of all places.
Authorities and officials of the U.S. Holocaust Museum wouldn't say who had the diary, though the Reuters news agency reported that it was Herbert Richardson, who runs a small academic publishing house in Lewiston.
What they would say, though, was that key Nazi documents keep showing up in Western New York and that the most important one so far was Rosenberg's diary, which lays bare the Nazi racist philosophy in all its ugliness.
Now yellowed and fragile, Rosenberg's diary shows him advocating "a clear program to remove [the Jewish] race from Europe."
For his part in that program, which claimed 6 million lives, Rosenberg was hanged after being convicted of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials.
Historians have wanted to know more about him ever since, and finally they will get that chance.
"It is the unvarnished account of a Nazi leader: his thoughts, his philosophies, his interactions with other Nazi leaders," John Morton, director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said of the diary.
"Reading Rosenberg's diary is to stare into the mind of a dark soul, a man untroubled by the isolation and violent extermination of Jews and others deemed 'undesirable,' a man consumed with visions of racial and ethnic superiority."
That's for sure.
Rosenberg was a Nazi before Adolf Hitler was a Nazi, joining the party in 1919. And while Hitler quickly came to outrank him, Rosenberg was the twisted philosopher who laid out the theories that Hitler turned into mass murder.
Most notoriously of all, Rosenberg concocted the racial "ladder" that put Aryans at the top and Jews and blacks at the bottom.
That philosophy came through clearly in translated excerpts from the Rosenberg diary, including one in which he boasted about a Nazi-led gathering that was "the first time in European history that 10 European nations were represented at an anti-Jewish conference with the clear program to remove this race from Europe."
In another passage, he responded to reports that the Soviet Union had plans to ship 400,000 German prisoners to Siberia by saying: "Germany will punish the Jews of Central Europe for this."
And he inexplicably implies that the British share the Nazis' hatred of blacks, saying the Brits were "angry about the negroes from the USA as they squeeze out the English during the Olympic Games."
That's just the beginning of what scholars are likely to learn from the Rosenberg diary, which covers his life and the inner workings of the Nazi party between 1936 and 1944.
"Standing here today, we still don't know the full significance of the document," Morton said. "There simply hasn't been the time to study it in depth."
Historians at the Holocaust Museum hope, though, that it sheds light on the important role Rosenberg played throughout Nazi history.
After his philosophizing days were done, Rosenberg went on to be the Third Reich minister in charge of the occupied Eastern territories – and the extermination of Jews there.
Beyond that, he engineered a plan to steal art and other valuables from Jews from all across Europe, an effort so diabolically successful that the loot would have filled a 1.5 million railroad cars, said Henry Mayer, senior advisor on archives at the Holocaust Museum.
Mayer spun a twisted tale of the diary's recovery that stretched all the way back to the mid-1990s. At the time, Holocaust Museum officials were working to bring the papers of Robert M.W. Kempner, one of the Nuremberg prosecutors, to the museum for study.
Those papers later disappeared from the late Kempner's home in Landsdowne, Pa. – only to turn up in 1999 at Richardson's publishing house in Lewiston.
Authorities said at the time that Richardson had persuaded Kempner's aging legal secretary to have Kempner's legal papers shipped to Lewiston, but that Richardson had relented and agreed to turn the documents over to the Holocaust Museum.
In 2001, Mayer said, "another 200 to 250 feet" of Kempner's papers turned up in a storage locker in Amherst, and Mayer coyly said a "former academic" living in Lewiston was responsible for putting them there. [Now the head of Edward Mellen Press, Richardson was fired from a tenured professorship at St. Michael's College in Toronto, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported in a recent profile.]
Later, on a visit to Western New York, Mayer heard some stunning news from the sister of Kempner's late legal secretary: She had given Rosenberg's diary to "a friend" for safekeeping.
Meyer said that with the help of a private investigator and the Lewiston police, federal authorities found the diary at the Lewiston home of that "friend."
Richardson rejected an interview request from The Buffalo News earlier this week, and federal authorities steadfastly refused to discuss him, saying their investigation into the matter is continuing.
"There's no comment on Mr. Richardson," Morton said.
Instead, federal officials and Mayer tried to keep their focus Thursday on the Rosenberg diary.
"Although it is a reminder of a dark time, the Rosenberg diary is important to our understanding of history," said Charles M. Overby III, U.S. attorney for Delaware, whose office includes investigators who specialize in such historical finds and who got a tip about the diary. "Our hope is that it will provide valuable insight to historians."
For Mayer, though, the discovery of the diary is both a historical and a personal revelation. After all, he's been involved in trying to find it for 17 years.
Speaking at the press conference where the diary was revealed, Mayer said: "After 17 years, it was quite something to hold it in my hand."

About The Bouqs Company
Featured in the August 2013 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine as one of 50 Things That Will Make You Say "Wow!," The Bouqs Company's flower bouquets are a little unique and always a delight.
First, the flowers themselves: they're grown in sustainable farms in California or the fertile volcanic soils of South America, where farmers only cut stems that have been bought already—a method that cuts down on wasted flowers. Second, the flowers' freshness: they arrive on clients' doorsteps just four days after they were cut, which stacks up favorably against most florists' 6- to 14-day wait time. Third, the bouquets are diverse: the Bewitched arrangement blends lavender and purple roses and exotic flowers, and the Depth bouquet simply consists of a dozen red roses.

Time and time again, we've learned that balance — in all aspects of life — is key, and there is one British brand that is setting a perfect example...and setting the bar quite high. Preen Line has made us fans season after season with its eye-catching prints and inventive structure, and its latest collection for spring keeps us captivated.
The brainchild of real-life couple Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi, the collection is a beautiful marriage of feminine pastels, with some more masculine shapes. Florals hit a high note — but in a modern, structured way — that doesn't make a comparison to overly precious garden parties. Plus, details range from slight peplum waists to racing stripes and oversized short sleeves to super-skinny pant legs.
The soft (but not-too-soft) looks all pull together in the spring lookbook, neatly housed within an industrial setting that just further proves that Preen has serious gold-medal balancing skills. Skip ahead to the slides for all the new looks to fall for. (Ironic, no?)

A new poster of Eva Green striking a pose as the titular femme fatale in "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" has been deemed too risque by the Motion Picture Assn. of America, according to a report by the New York Post.
The poster, which shows Green holding a revolver and wearing a slinky robe that's backlit -- in classic noir fashion -- by light filtering through window blinds, has been banned by the MPAA. The reason? "[F]or nudity -- curve of under breast and dark nipple/areola circle visible through sheer gown," the Post said.
(A detail of the poster is above; the Post has the full image.)
Dimension Films, the Weinstein Co. label distributing the sequel, declined to comment, but executives are said to be reworking the poster ahead of the movie's scheduled Aug. 22 release.
For those familiar with the "Sin City" franchise, which is based on the hard-boiled comics series by Frank Miller, Postergate probably seems a bit overblown. After all, the comics and the original 2005 film adaptation directed by Miller and Robert Rodriguez (both of whom are returning for "Dame") are characterized by gruesome violence and explicit sexuality. Perhaps the poster's caption, "I've been especially bad," pushed it over the edge?
Of course, it's worth keeping in mind that Weinstein Co. honcho Harvey Weinstein is a master of publicity machinations, particularly when it comes to the MPAA, an organization he has a habit of fighting publicly to great promotional effect.
In recent years, he has clashed with the group's ratings board over "R" designations for "The King's Speech," "Bully" and "Philomena." His track record for getting these ratings overturned is mixed, but the resultant publicity is almost always a victory.

Jordan Spieth and his world-class short game came up big in a playoff victory Sunday at the Valspar Championship in Palm Harbor, Fla.
Spieth capped off an afternoon of back-nine charges, clutch putts and unseemly par saves by making a 30-foot birdie putt on the third extra hole of a playoff at Innisbrook to beat Ryder Cup teammates Patrick Reed and Sean O'Hair.
"A crazy back nine," said Spieth, who won for the second time in his PGA Tour career and fourth time worldwide to reach a career-high No. 6 in the world.
The 21-year-old Spieth was three shots behind with six holes to play when he made two birdies to catch a faltering Ryan Moore, and then saved par on...

...To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.—Ephesians 3:19
Pentecost means that the Deity came to mankind to give Himself to man, that man might breathe Him in as he breathes in the air, that He might fill men. Dr. A. B. Simpson used an illustration which was about as good as any I ever heard. He said, "Being filled with the fullness of God is like a bottle in the ocean. You take the cork out of the bottle and sink it in the ocean, and you have the bottle completely full of ocean. The bottle is in the ocean, and the ocean is in the bottle. The ocean contains the bottle, but the bottle contains only a little bit of the ocean. So it is with the Christian."
We are filled unto the fullness of God, but, of course, we cannot contain all of God because God contains us; but we can have all of God that we can contain. If we only knew it, we could enlarge our vessel. The vessel gets bigger as we go on with God. The Counselor, 68.
"Enlarge my vessel, Lord, and fill me with more and more of the fullness of God. Amen."

What Kind of Jewelry to Use for Eyebrows?
Eyebrow piercings are very attractive but they are located at a relatively small area. Also, these are surface piercings so they are prone to migration and rejection. In order to prevent these potential issues, it is important to wear jewelry that is suitable for eyebrow piercing. Jewelry types that can accommodate eyebrow piercing are small curved barbells (also known as eyebrow barbells), small curved barbells and various types of rings.
Decorative Curved Barbells
Ideal jewelry for eyebrow piercings are special small curved barbells. There are eyebrow barbells with plain beads but there are also those with decorative tops and gems instead of smooth beads.
