There is an ongoing controversy regarding MBC's (Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation, one of major broadcasters in Korea) editing of the head investigator's interview regarding the suicide attempt of AHQ Korea's professional gamer 'Pimir' Minki Chun.
MBC News Today reported on the 14th that Minki Chun exposed the rigging of <League of Legends> games and attempted suicide afterwards. This news report contained an excerpt from the interview of the head investigator that stated "Played a lot of games over many sleepless nights, and attempted suicide at a moment's decision."
Netizens rose up and expressed their discontent saying that the interview of the investigator was misleading to the viewers of the particular news. The "played a lot of games over many sleepless nights" phrase in the interview may mislead viewers to think that gaming addiction was the cause of the suicide attempt.
As it is already known to the public, Minki Chun's suicide attempt was directly related to the rigging of the games. However, MBC began the specific news segment focusing on the existence of 'gambling' within eSports, and eventually edited the interview to bring out the subject of 'gaming addiction." By doing this, they have led the viewers to believe that a gaming addicted previous professional gamer got caught in a web of gambles and ultimately attempted to take his own life.
Furthermore, MBC pessimistically reported the news, even stating that the <League of Legends> tournaments may be shut down. However, the current issue solely deals with the previous coach Dae-Chul Roh's fraud schemes, and has no direct relations with gaming addictions.
Minki Chun revealed the rigging of the <League of Legends> games and attempted suicide. After revealing that his sponsor team ahq Korea's coach, Dae-Chul Roh, had formed his team in the beginning with the sole purpose of fraud, he posted the words "I am leaving after posting these words."
When the news aired, the netizens rose up against MBC. The netizens wished for MBC to convey the correct message, saying that "they are destroying the honor of a victim of fraud, titling him with titles such as gaming addict and gambler. We can't help but suspect MBC of deliberate editing of the interview."
On the other hand, Minki Chun is currently hospitalized and have recently regained consciousness. Riot Games has expressed their concerns for the player, and have promised various forms of support for the suffering player. Korean eSports Committee plans to pursue this case of fraud and to take lawful procedures.

Checking In On… the Big South ConferencePosted by Brian Goodman on November 19th, 2011
Mark Bryant oversees multimedia at the Big South Conference. You can follow his updates on Twitter @BigSouthSports.
Reader's Take
The Week That Was
- New Gym, Part One: YES… UNC Asheville got its opportunity to show off the new Kimmel Arena with a marquee match-up against the top-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels on ESPNU. Eddie Biedenbach's Bulldogs played with a tenacity befitting their nickname, hanging tight most of the way before falling, 91-75.
- New Gym, Part Two: NO, but that's OK… Coastal Carolina had once hoped that this past Tuesday would be the chance for the Chants to unveil their own shiny new room, but delays in construction may mean that's a year away. No matter: CCU welcomed LSU from the SEC to small Kimbel Arena in Conway — then proceeded to pull off the 71-63 upset.
- Meet The New Member, Same as the Old Member: Campbell is back in the Big South. The Fighting Camels were a founding member of the conference and played hoops with the Big South from 1983-94. CU was 129-128 in those seasons–and stays on the plus side with wins in the first three games this year.

Rick Brown needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 116 designs submitted by 34 freelance designers.
Emerald Bay is located in North Laguna Beach in Southern California. It is a private community with just under 600 homes. Each year for the 4th of July we raise money to support our local volunteers through the sale of t-shirts and conducting a barbecue on the 4th. Our t-shirts are a collector's item and in great demand. We always sell out of all of our t-shirts by the 4th of July.
Our audience is the families of Emerald Bay. It is an exclusive community with kids of all ages and adults of all ages. Everyone in the community wants one of our t-shirts.
There are two designs required for this t-shirt. One on the front and one on the back. We traditionally have had a smaller design in the upper left breast area on the front. We traditionally have had a larger design on the back.
The words "Emerald Bay" and "July 4, 2009" must appear in the designs. The words can be arranged according to the artist but they must be in both the front and back designs.
This is a beach front community. The primary theme is beach related. Sunsets, Palm Trees, Waves, Sea Shells, etc. can be used.
The secondary theme is the celebration of the 4th of July. A barge is brought into the bay and fireworks are set off. It has been labeled as one of the best firework displays in the county.
The front design is normally 5" wide by 4" tall.
The back design is normally 12" wide by 12" tall.
Please be patient with me as I am not an artist. I just talked with the t-shirt guy and here is what he needs:
50 dpi

3-5 colors
Use spot colors

Delaware's own bad girl......at such a young age! No value for life, education or the law. Is this the future?
WILMINGTON At Latika Wrights sentencing today, the judge handed down a sentence of four years in jail to the now 18-year-old Wilmington woman, who ran over a 9-year-old Wilmington boy on a scooter last year in her aunts car, dragged him to his death and then fled the scene.
Superior Court Judge Charles H. Toliver IV then suspended the womans jail sentence to one year from when she was incarcerated last March, followed by six months home confinement and then probation.
That means that Wright stands a good chance of being released from prison by the end of next month but only if a home confinement bracelet is available for her by then.
My sympathy and condolences will not ease your pain at all, Toliver told the family of Thomas Tommy White Jr., explaining that in handing down the sentence that he was bound by the prescribed law.
In addition, the Toliver said Wright must:
Serve six months of a suspended two year sentence of home confinement.
Pay restitution for failure to report the fatal crash.
Participate in 200 hours of community service.
Have no contact with the victims family.
Undergo alcohol abuse and mental health treatments
Not drive or take any drugs or alcohol for the period of her sentence.
Obtain her GED certificate.
Participate in an enhanced supervision program overseen by the judge.
Should Wright slip up while under the enhanced supervision, the judge would consider a reposition of her sentence, Toliver said.
Tommy White had just gotten an electric scooter from his father Jan. 9, 2010, and was trying it out for the first time when he was struck in the middle of the intersection at 25th and Jessup streets by a maroon Chevrolet Caprice, driven by Wright.
Instead of stopping when she hit the boy, Wright continued driving with the boy trapped under the cars carriage for 880 feet.
With people screaming for her to stop, Wright finally stopped the car at 23rd and Lamotte streets, took the keys and bailed out of the car.
Wright, of the 900 block of E. 27th St., was charged Feb. 3, 2010 with vehicular homicide, leaving the scene of an accident involving death and assorted traffic offenses.
The following month, she was arrested on a curfew violation and has been jailed ever since.
Delaware's own bad girl......at such a young age! No value for life, education or the law. Is this the future?
She should be made to carry a picture of what she did to that kid.
Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.
Thomas Mann
My heart still hurts so bad
mom mom miss you so much
you did what mom mom asked you to do. I asked my grandson tommy to make latika see him and always remember what she did sentencing her to life .
So let me tell you about my GOD
why latika gave birth to a little boy on the same DATE she killed my grandson 1/9/2015?
She killed my tommy/grandson on

Flight Training Class Testimonials
From A Recent Conversation About Flying Parrots
No place we keep parrots is 100% safe. Actually it seems that accidents in the aviary were more dangerous than flying freely. But it was mainly the things we were not expecting that caused us the most problems flying outdoors or in the aviary. The things we did expect were not the problems we expected them to […]

"Cross Charm"
I bought this for my bichon because he has been such a blessing to me the past 10 years. He has a thick collar, so I had to fudge it when I put it on, but it fits fine! He also LOVES wearing it! He gives guests a dirty look when they get too close to it because he doesn't want it taken off his collar! I was so surprised he's so protective of it, but it really shows how special this little gift is- definitely worth the money!
"Cross Charm"
I purchased this Cross charm for my 11 year old Weimaraner. She is an amazing dog and I am thankful for her every day. I wanted something special for her and found this perfect little cross. It serves as a constant reminder that a good dog is a blessing!

By Robbie Blakeley, Senior Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Coach of the Brazil national team, Luiz Felipe Scolari, yesterday confirmed his squad for the friendly against South Africa on March 5th in Johannesburg. The game will be the Seleção's (national team) final match before Felipão must name his 23-man squad for the FIFA World Cup on May 7th.
Fred, Jô and Jefferson, of Fluminense, Atlético-MG and Botafogo, respectively, were added to the sixteen Europe-based players called up two weeks ago. All three have been international regulars under Scolari.
Fred, however, has not played for Brazil since last August after suffering an injury to his right thigh. He was the country's leading scorer during the 2013 Confederations Cup with five goals.
The striker's form has suffered since returning from injury. The number nine has scored just one goal this calendar year and has missed two penalties.
Atlético forward Jô received the news of a call-up after finding the back of the net. The 26-year-old scored during his club's 3-2 win over city rivals América in the Campeonato Mineiro on Sunday. He was the club's leading scorer during their Copa Libertadores triumph last season. He also scored twice during the Confederations Cup campaign.
After naming his final squad on May 7th, Scolari and Brazil will have two more friendlies before the World Cup kicks off. The Seleção should face Panama in Goiânia on June 3rd before playing Serbia on June 6th at São Paulo's Morumbi Stadium.
Brazil squad in full for friendly versus South Africa:
Goalkeepers: Júlio César (Toronto), Jefferson (Botafogo)
Defenders: Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Rafinha (Bayern Munich), Thiago Silva (PSG), Dante (Bayern Munich), David Luiz (Chelsea), Marcelo (Real Madrid)
Midfielders: Fernandinho (Manchester City), Paulinho (Tottenham), Willian (Chelsea), Ramires (Chelsea), Luiz Gustavo (Wolfsburg), Oscar (Chelsea)
Forwards: Bernard (Shakhtar Donetsk), Hulk (Zenit), Fred (Fluminense), Jô (Atlético-MG), Neymar (Barcelona)

text: Cries and Whispers stars Liv Ullman and Ingrid Thulin as the sisters of dying cancer patient Harriet Andersson. Both sisters have already had brushes with death: Ullman has had an affair which prompted her husband's suicide, while Thulin has long wanted to do away with herself, at one point mutilating her own vagina out of self-hatred. As for Andersson, she has been in pain so long that she feels as though she's in the midst of death-in-life. With her two sisters wrapped up in their own problems, Harriet turns to her housekeeper Kari Sylwan for comfort; Sylwan has herself suffered the death of a child, and has developed a philosophical attitude towards impending doom. One of the most influential moments of the film -- when two of the sisters share the innermost thoughts that they'd kept from one another for so many years -- is filmed without benefit of dialogue, with the music of Chopin (enhanced by cinematographer Sven Nykvist's carefully selected camera angles) "speaking" for the ladies. While Cries and Whispers only won the Oscar for cinematography, the film did very well for itself in international awards contests.

A message from the director:
Last March, a small group of SCAD undergraduates registered for a class called "Group Project in 3D." The aim of the class was simple-- Take a CG short conceptual stages to final edit in ten weeks. Armed with a simple story idea and little-to-no filmmaking experience, we set out to create Pretty Dead, our only frame of reference for what was possible being equivalent graduate-level classes which limited scope to a single character and 60 second run-time.
Naturally, our film had 4 main characters and flirted with 3 minutes in duration.
After what was undoubtedly the most grueling ten weeks of my life, I am pleased to say that we have completed a draft of the film, thanks in no small part to the outstanding talent (and tireless effort) of our crew.
At the end of the quarter, we had the opportunity to screen the film in SCAD's graduation animation showcase and receive audience feedback. Over the next few months, we will continue to work on the film, tying up loose ends and polishing it for a winter festival run. This blog will document our progress, up to this point and beyond, as well as providing online followers with means to easily give feedback on our work.
I hope you enjoy the trailer, and I look forward to hearing from you,
-Scott Kennell

Smash Life – Summit at Snoqualmie, Alpental
Words by George Crosland
Smash Life went down this past Saturday, January 19th, at Alpental, part of The Summit at Snoqualmie resort in Washington. Smash Life is a banked slalom event that is thrown in the memory of snowboarder Aaron Robinson. This is the second year of the event and second event of the year, the first being held at Big Sky in Aaron's home state of Montana. Aaron put in some serious time riding in Washington and it's the home to many friends and a few of his sponsors so why not throw another banked slalom/party in the state Aaron loved?
For those of you who never knew Aaron, it's hard to put into words what a rad human being he was. Aaron was the type of person who would always be leading the charge, always the first to drop the most hectic line in the most insane terrain. At the same time Aaron would also be the guy to wait for the last person in the group, looking out for everyone. Aaron was strong enough to ride with the best, but nice and humble enough to ride with anyone and ensure everyone was having fun, definitely someone you wanted on any snowboard journey. He was down for anything, no complaints. Tragically, Aaron was taken from the world in a snowboard related accident in the summer of 2011. The proceeds from the Smash Life events go to the A-Rob Plant a Seed Project which gives underprivileged kids a chance to get out into the mountains and go snowboarding. Snowboarding is something that many of us might take for granted, but to a poor kid who does not have the funds to go snowboarding, a chance to ride might change their life.
The top part of the course was dug out of a steep mogul run and downright scary. It was narrow and tight with lots of edges to fall off and lots of trees to bounce off of. To make things even more exciting the snow conditions were hard and fast. In typical Northwest fashion no one complained. In fact, it seems like everyone relished and enjoyed the challenging layout that much more. While the top section was burly, the lower half was flowy, which was good since everyone was pretty beat up by the end of the course. The format was simple, the kids (several younger than 10), women and masters (40 and over) went first, 2 runs each, followed by the 18-39 year old men. The men's class was open to whoever signed up first with plenty of pros, legends, office boys and "average Joes." Lots of people were charging, but Blair Habenicht rode swift and took it on his first run. He's a kick ass all around rider, but after yesterday he should be trying out for some Olympic Giant Slalom action.
"It was the craziest banked slalom that I've ever been a part of as far as the steepness of the course, maxing speed through these corners and whipping you across the hill through all these bumps on cattracks that were like two-feet wide. It was on a ridgeline that Aaron was super pumped on up at Alpental. Alpental is a gnarly mountain to begin with, put a banked slalom anywhere on it and it's going to be steep and fast, it was crazy," Blair adds.
The ladies, groms and older guys rallied too, with Robyn Borneman taking the title for the second year in a row. Keala Cole took it for the groms, Justus Hines was the quickest junior and Kimo Cole took it for the old dogs. Of course there was a party afterwords, complete with live music from the Riot Act, late night laps under the lights and parking lot revelry. The turnout for the event was amazing and everyone had a blast. Absolutely no money was given out, this was simply a snowboard event thrown for the love of the sport and hanging out with friends. Come out next year if you can.

So, Mixology Monday hits 21 this month; instead of carrying us drunks on its own dry back, it can finally step up to the bar its own damn self and order a tipple. Don't let us down MxMo. If you're gonna be all about the Jager shots, I just don't know….
Tip of the hat to Jay for hosting this month and choosing the theme.
For my part, this became another MxMo post from the Department of Fall-Back-and-Punt.
I just finished mixographer David Wondrich's book, Imbibe!, and I found a great drink idea in there–one that combines ingredients I've never mixed before. I was excited to try it, but I was missing a key ingredient, Plymouth gin. Unfortunately, the liquor stores near my office were out of Plymouth and the less I can say about the liquor stores by my apartment, the better. I'll just mention the words "bulletproof" and "partition" and let you work out the rest.
"Bushwick," he said with a shrug, "whattaya gonna do?"
My instinct told me that my gin on hand, Tanqueray, probably wouldn't work well in the cocktail I had in mind, so I came home to consult my cocktail books and find a Plan B. I've made a lot of gin recipes over the last couple of years and wanted something new.
As I read, I heard a weird scraping sound at the back door, accompanied by a noise that sounded like mewing. We've been caring for some stray cats, and I was sure it was one of them, hungry and begging for kibble.
Jen came home about then and we carefully opened the door to investigate. The handsome fellow to your right had clawed a hole in the screen, climbed through, got trapped, and panicked. We let him out, spit-patched the screen with a bit of strapping tape, and brought kibble to him and his siblings.
I then started leafing through the Savoy and found the perfect solution:
Tuxedo Cocktail (No. 2)
- 1 Dash Maraschino. [for two cocktails, I used 1/4 tsp. Luxardo]
- 1 Dash Absinthe. [1/4 tsp. Lucid]
- 2 Dashes Orange Bitters. [4 dashes Regan's]
- 1/2 Dry Gin. [3 oz. Tanqueray]
- 1/2 French Vermouth. [3 oz. Noilly-Prat]
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. Add a cherry. [I skipped the cherry.] Squeeze lemon peel on top.
Sometimes inspiration scratches at your back door.

New events designed especially for young people will give an extra kick to the 2009 Cattle Industry Convention and National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) Trade Show in Phoenix, Ariz. Jan. 28-31, 2009. The programs, for young people ages 9 to young adult, are focused on education, leadership and teamwork. They are being exclusively sponsored by a grant from the Farm Credit System Foundation.
The events are being coordinated by the NCBA and include the NCBA Team Marketing Contest, NCBA Beef Quiz Bowl Contest, NCBA Prepared Public Speaking Contest and the NCBA Cattle Judging Contest.
"We're thrilled to be able to offer these events for young people attending the Cattle Industry Convention," says Andy Groseta, a beef producer from North Central Arizona and NCBA president. "The next generation of beef producers deserves our attention and encouragement. These programs will provide valuable instruction as well as entertainment for the younger convention-goers in January."
The team marketing contest will encourage team participation while promoting development of communication skills, marketing techniques and an understanding of cattle performance information. The Beef Quiz Bowl offers opportunities to demonstrate knowledge related to the cattle industry, while the public speaking contest stimulates interest in leadership through presentation skills. The judging contest will include a novice division (under age 9 or, if it's their first judging contest, under age 11); junior division (ages 9-14); senior division (ages 14 to 19); and college division.
The activities for young people at the convention are part of a larger effort by the NCBA to boost efforts directed at those who will lead the cattle industry in the future. That effort includes a new Young Producers Council directed at people ages 18 to 35, allowing them to interact with other young producers, enhance their leadership abilities and further their professional development. The Council's first meeting will be at the 2009 Convention.
"These are the kinds of opportunities our young people need to thrive in this industry, both now and in the future," Groseta says. "The more we can do to provide for the needs of our young people, the more we can assure the success of the cattle industry down the road."

Kate Middleton and Queen Elizabeth decided to take a leisurely tour of a new Buckingham Palace exhibit dedicated to the Royal Wedding gown.
Everything was moving along quite nicely...and then shit got real because the Queen RAISED HER VOICE:
"As the pair chatted, the pitch of the Queen's voice raised and she said 'horrible' and then 'horrid'."
According to NYMag.com, the queen added, "it's made to look very creepy.''
The problem? The mannequin is missing its head.
Middleton thinks it gives off a "3-D Effect."
The dress may sit on a decapitated mannequin, but at least it's not a wire hanger.

VANCOUVER, January 6, 2009
30–40cm fell each night during this past weekend at Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver. Vancouver's metamorphosis into a snow-cave resulted in a pillow party for what is usually strictly a terrain park camp. MGT Snowboard Camp coaches Marie-France Roy, Leanne Pelosi, Raewyn Reid, Robin Van Gyn and Joanna Majcherkiewicz had campers throwing themselves off any feature producing some heavy bails and first time pillow and cliff experiences. The JIB!JUMP!JAM! that takes place during the last hour of the 2-day camp had
campers throwing their hardest tricks yet and the progression earned riders prizes from Burton, ThirtyTwo, Etnies, Dragon, Dakine, Runway Films and Snowboard Canada Magazine. It was also a platform for the MGT ACADEMY candidates to showcase their skills in front of all the coaches. (The MGT Academy is a fast(er) track to a snowboard career. The program is designed to select one promising MGT camper and place them under the tutorial wing of the MGT pro coaches to give a head start on pursuing a snowboard career in 2010.)
This camp at Grouse was the first round of selection for MGT ACADEMY and acceptance letters were sent to Marie-Andre Racine, Shelly Julio (or Hoolio for short), and Jenna-Mae Togado. The trio has also earned a spot in the Roxy Chickadee Jam at Grouse Mountain on March 1, 2009 where their park skills will be quizzed in preparation for the MGT ACADEMY final exam in the summer. Congrats to the enrolled girls and best of luck capitalizing on your opportunity!!!
The next round of MGT ACADEMY, and MGT CAMP, will be April 4-5 at Mount Norquay in Banff, Alberta. With all-star coaches in tow (with a special guest coach appearance by Tara Dakides) and a park cut by none other than the great Jeff Patterson, MGT is busting to drop in on Alberta¹s most progressive terrain park and wait for it the more good times that will ensue.
To register for a camp or learn more about MGT ACADEMY, or how to calculate the square root of a cab 540 or dial the molecular formula of 2 parts dedication and 2 parts raw talent; please visit the MGT web site.

Debunking USTR Claims in Defense of NAFTA: The Real NAFTA Score 2008
(Download the PDF for a fully footnoted version of this document.)
NAFTA is a hot-button issue in the 2008 races. Given polling shows that the vast majority of Americans think NAFTA was a damaging mistake, the George W. Bush administration and other defenders of the NAFTA status quo have been put on the defensive. In response, administration officials and pro-NAFTA pundits have gone into spin mode, recycling discredited claims about the pact, or suggesting that the facts are too complicated to make an assessment. Bush's U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) recently put out a set of talking points in this vein. But the USTR's claims are misleading, as the facts below show.
- Trade flows
- Employment numbers
- U.S. manufacturing
- U.S. wages
- Agriculture and ag prices
- Mexican wages
- Environmental impacts
- Conclusion
Bush Claim 1: "From 1993 to 2007, trade among the NAFTA nations more than tripled, from $297 billion to $930 billion."
Fact: Increased trade flows can benefit an economy, as long as they do not lead to unsustainable deficits. The administration fails to note that much of the increased volume of trade under NAFTA was a massive surge in imports into the United States ? resulting in a 691 percent increase in the U.S. NAFTA trade deficit, which puts the U.S. and North American economies at risk.
A small pre-NAFTA U.S. trade surplus with Mexico in 1993 reversed into a $91 billion deficit in 2007, while a pre-NAFTA deficit with Canada grew exponentially. NAFTA foreign investor protections, which remove most of the risks otherwise associated with offshore production ? coupled with the high dollar policies of the Clinton administration ? acted as a subsidy to the offshoring of U.S. jobs. The result? A 691 percent increase in the United States' combined trade deficit with Canada and Mexico, from $24 billion in 1993 to $190 billion in 2007. This artificially induced, distorted composition of trade flows ? shaped by specific rules in NAFTA ? puts the entire region at risk.
Bush Claim 2: "U.S. employment rose from 110.8 million people in 1993 to 137.6 million in 2007, an increase of 24 percent. The average unemployment rate was 5.1 percent in the period 1994-2007, compared to 7.1 percent during the period 1980-1993."
Fact: Trade affects the composition of jobs, not the total number. Three million net U.S. manufacturing jobs were lost during NAFTA.
This Bush claim is particularly sly, as the administration's economists know that total employment numbers and unemployment rates are not typically affected by trade policy, but by central bankers who set interest rates. In fact, labor force growth is simply income growth minus productivity growth. Thus, if income growth were 2 percent and productivity growth were 1 percent, this would imply a labor force growth rate of 1 percent, or roughly 1.4 million jobs ? irrespective of trade flows.
What trade policy affects is the composition of jobs in the economy, in particular tradable sectors like manufacturing. In fact, the original claim by NAFTA boosters in 1993 that the pact would lead to 170,000 annual U.S. job gains was premised on the projection that the United States would run a growing trade surplus with Mexico. The opposite proved true, but the boosters' methodology makes clear that groups on both sides of the NAFTA debate originally agreed that the pact's effect on U.S. workers should be measured through the trade balance. Once NAFTA critics' projection of an increase in trade deficits proved true, pro-NAFTA analysts have tried to change the metrics away from the pact's damaging effect on U.S. workers and on to focus on the combined import-export volume of trade flows or on overall U.S. employment rates.
Here are the more relevant numbers: U.S. manufacturing employment declined from 16.8 million people in 1993 to 13.9 million people in 2007, a decrease of nearly 3 million manufacturing jobs, and nearly 20 percent of the total. Moreover, the $190 billion U.S. trade deficit with NAFTA countries ? as a simple accounting matter ? corresponds to manufacturing jobs that could have been here. The Economic Policy Institute estimates that the United States could have had over one million additional manufacturing jobs had there been trade balance between NAFTA countries alone. This figure subtracts from the NAFTA trade deficit our oil and gas trade deficit, which has always been significant, although it has shrunk 40 percent as a share of our total deficit since the deal went into effect.
Bush Claim 3: "U.S. manufacturing output rose by 58 percent between 1993 and 2006, as compared to 42 percent between 1980 and 1993. Manufacturing exports in 2007 reached an all time high with a value of $982 billion."
Fact: The proper measure is U.S. manufacturing value-added ? and that increased at the same rate before and after NAFTA. The misleading figure used by the Bush administration ? manufacturing output ? is large because it does not measure only U.S. manufacturing value-added, but includes the value of imported parts and inputs that contribute to the trade deficit.
The manufacturing output measure used by the Bush administration fails to subtract the value of imported auto parts and other imported inputs to U.S. production. U.S. manufacturing value-added, a more appropriate measure, increased 13 percent between 1993 and 2006 ? the exact same rate as between 1980 and 1993. Parts manufacturing is among the most labor-intensive aspects of manufacturing, so offshore outsourcing of parts can strongly impact working people. Finally, manufacturing imports in 2007 reached an all time high with a value of $1.5 trillion, or nearly 70 percent more than manufacturing exports.
Bush Claim 4: Rising wages over 1993-2007 relative to 1979-1993 show NAFTA's success.
Fact: Actually, U.S. median wages in inflation-controlled terms have scarcely risen in a generation, in no small part thanks to "labor arbitrage" between U.S. workers and low wage workers offshore, and the replacement of higher paying manufacturing jobs with lower paying service sector jobs. The Bush administration has manipulated the time periods it is citing to find tiny wage gains that it can generalize to be "rising wages."
Economists have known for over 60 years that non-professional workers in developed countries like the United States will face downward wage pressure when trade policy creates a selective form of "free trade" in goods that non-professional workers produce. Indeed, U.S. real wages began to stagnate since the 1970s, when the United States began running ever-increasing trade deficits, composed increasingly of manufacturing imports ? once produced domestically at high wages ? from low-wage nations. In 1973, the average hourly wage for American workers in today's dollars was $17.26 while in 2007 it was up less than 1 percent to $17.42. Over the same period U.S. workers' average productivity nearly doubled.
The business strategy of relocating production of goods destined for the U.S. market to low wage countries began before NAFTA, starting with lower value goods. NAFTA's investment rules, and then those included in a World Trade Organization (WTO) agreement, provided new protections to reduce the risks otherwise associated with such an offshore production strategy, effectively subsidizing the offshoring of production of a vast array of high value-added, high technology goods to be sold in the U.S. market. A recent study found that the average family lost $2,000 net a year from the burden of rising inequality due to trade. All of these calculations take into account the consumer savings from cheaper imports, meaning that net wage losses from trade now exceed the median American household's income tax burden by hundreds of dollars. If current trade policies and trends continue, all wage gains made since 1979 by workers without a four-year college degree (70 percent of us) could be essentially erased.
Moreover, the years that the USTR chooses to average are highly misleading. It is thanks to Alan Greenspan's uncharacteristic decision to ignore neoliberal pundits and lower interest rates ? not NAFTA ? that U.S. unemployment sunk in the late 1990s, creating a tight labor market that significantly bid up U.S. wages for the first and only time in a generation. Combining the 1993-2001 years with the post-2001 period obscures the dismal economic trends of the Bush years, while starting the clock at 1979 obscures the positive wage trends of the pre-1973 period.
Finally, some have suggested that technology ? not trade deficits ? are to blame for the job losses and stagnant real wages, meaning that policymakers should ignore trade and focus on making workers more computer literate. While more education and skills are certainly desirable, these are a separate concern. For instance, college-educated workers have seen their wage growth stagnate in recent years, even in technologically sophisticated fields like engineering ? the opposite of what you would expect if growing returns to skill were the main story. As well, a National Academies' study has found that employers will continue to demand mostly low skilled labor for the foreseeable future, projecting occupations like hospitality and restaurants as having the greatest demand in the coming decades. Thus, addressing the problems with the existing trade and investment rules, not only better educating American workers, will be an essential part of halting rising income inequality.
Bush Claim 5: The agricultural sector has benefited from NAFTA.
Fact: Nearly 300,000 U.S. family farms were lost during the NAFTA era, while these farms' income shrunk 13 percent.
While American farmers were told by NAFTA-WTO supporters that the pacts would secure America's role as "breadbasket to the world," nearly 300,000 family farms have been shuttered since NAFTA and the WTO went into effect. Now the United States is importing massive amounts of the grains and feeds it also exports. Today over $71 billion in food goods are imported annually ? over double the value imported before NAFTA and WTO. And America is running a trade deficit in many categories of foods that wind up on Americans' dinner tables, including fruits, vegetables and more. While we had a slight trade surplus in food products in 2007 overall, the United States has a food deficit with NAFTA and other FTA countries. Moreover, farmers care far more about the declining prices that their products fetch in the NAFTA-WTO era than the total amount of trade. Pre-NAFTA in 1993, corn fetched $3.53 a bushel in inflation-adjusted terms, went down to $2.12 in 2005. A similar story happened with soy. In 1988, when the NAFTA-predecessor Canada FTA was signed, U.S. soy farmers received $12.49 a bushel in inflation-adjusted terms, only to see this nearly halved to $6.01 by 2005. While commodity prices are turning around in the face of the ethanol boom, even this may be threatened by trade challenges at the WTO. As a consequence of these and other price trends, net farm income (minus government payments) declined 13 percent for family farmers during the NAFTA period (1993-2005).
Bush Claim 6: Mexican wages have increased under NAFTA.
Fact: Mexican wage growth has declined under NAFTA relative to Mexico's pre-neoliberal period.
Mexico has seen lower per capita economic growth relative to the pre-neoliberal era, massive rural displacement of over a million peasants, and most recently manufacturing job loss to China since NAFTA. Indeed, annual Mexican immigration to the United States jumped 60 percent in NAFTA's first six years alone, while the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States (who are mostly Mexican and Central American) increased 185 percent over a similar period, from 3.9 million in 1992 to 12 million in 2005. A 2006 comprehensive study found that inflation-adjusted wages for virtually every category of Mexican worker decreased over NAFTA's first six years, largely because of the influx of workers from the countryside. While wages have turned around slightly in more recent years, wage growth and the wage share of GDP are still disappointing compared with pre-neoliberal period rates.
Bush Claim 7: NAFTA has helped the environment by creating new environmental institutions that spent $3 billion on border clean-up.
Fact: The funds spent on environmental clean up fall far short of what was needed ? and even what was promised. Moreover, an array of environmental laws has been challenged under NAFTA, weakening and chilling environmental policy innovation.
U.S. government estimates at the time of NAFTA suggested that over $8 billion would need to be spent between 1994 and 2004 in order to clean up the U.S.-Mexico border. The Sierra Club suggested $21 billion as necessary. Thus, when USTR suggests that roughly $3 billion has been spent on border clean-up initiatives, this is still only a third of the conservative U.S. government estimate of what was needed, and a tenth of what environmentalists said was needed.
But there are reasons to doubt the USTR's numbers on NAFTA's environmental side institutions. First of all, NAFTA proponents promised $5 million a year each for the NAFTA-established Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) and the Border Environmental Cooperation Commission (BECC). But these institutions received little over half of their promised appropriations, or roughly $3 million a year, in budget dollars constantly being eaten away by inflation. The North American Development Bank, which was created to finance low-interest loans for BECC-approved projects, has only disbursed $33.9 million in low-interest loans from its $2.7 billion lending capacity. At the high end, this means that in over 13 years of operation, the NAFTA-established environmental initiatives have put $112 million into the projects promised by NAFTA proponents in 1994, thus falling considerably short of the $8-21 billion that were the consensus estimates of the border needs alone.
The other major environmental threat identified at the time of NAFTA was the undemocratic investor-state system of enforcing NAFTA's extensive new foreign investor protections. This system allows corporations to privately enforce NAFTA-granted rights to be compensated for government policies or actions that undermine their expected future profits against governments in closed World Bank and United Nations tribunals. Indeed, the majority of the cases brought by corporations against governments under this system have been against public interest policies related to the environment, natural resources and public health (26 out of 49). Over $31 billion has been claimed by investors in NAFTA investor-state suits, and $45 million has been paid out by taxpayers to corporations ? all in cases related to environmental, health or agricultural policy. Legislators throughout North America have had their environmental initiatives chilled by threats of damaging NAFTA investor-state cases.
CONCLUSION: Can we evaluate the promises on NAFTA? Yes, we can!
An army of think tanks and corporations spends millions every year in an attempt to muddle even the basic facts on NAFTA. We know that under NAFTA, the U.S. trade deficit is up, manufacturing jobs are down, wages are stagnant, Mexican immigration is up, Mexican growth is down, and policy space has been seriously limited. Bush administration officials and pundits can debate whether any of these facts matter, but they cannot make up their own facts, nor serve up irrelevant ones in the hope of distracting policymakers or the public from continuing to demand trade policy change.

With city's pledge of $50M, Philly schools begin rehiring; some parents say it's not enough
PHILADELPHIA – The question of whether Philadelphia's public schools would open on time next month has been answered. Officials say they will.
But parents say the buildings will simply be shells, without sufficient resources to offer students a safe and adequate learning environment.
City officials promised $50 million in emergency funding this week for the struggling system. The district has begun rehiring about 1,000 employees who were laid off this summer.
The pledge means Greenfield Elementary principal Dan Lazar is getting back a much-needed counselor for his 600 students. But he says he still needs much, much more.
Superintendent William Hite had said that if he didn't get a funding commitment by Friday, classes would not start as scheduled Sept. 9.

Hello, It has been a while since I posted here, I've been really busy, but I got a few minutes of free time to write this example of Operation Advisor which aims to prevent a certain type of workitem to be linked to another workitem of a different type.
For this example, let's make Tasks workitems unable to link Defect workitems as children. You can easily change the types of workitems and links in this example to suit your needs. The purpose of this and future posts is to get familiar with the API Jazz.
Before proceeding it is essential that you already know the first steps to creating a RTC plug-in, if you do not know stop here and read this previous post that explains the basic steps with a simple example.
First create your Plug-in Project and select Dependencies tab and add most frequently used plugins as required (com.ibm.team.process.service,
com.ibm.team.workitem.common, com.ibm.team. workitem.service,
com.ibm.team.process.common, com.ibm.team.repository.common,
com.ibm.team.repository.service) and import the package org.eclipse.core.runtime. After that, it is important that you save the project to refresh the workspace.
Let's select Extensions tab and add our Extension Point for this
plugin. And since this is a pre-condition and will not change the state
of the workitem, let's use an Operation Advisor.
Click Add.
Look for: com.ibm.team.proccess.service.operationAdvisors. This option only appears if you have correctly added the required plugins as mentioned earlier.
Fill the following fields:
id: Identifier of the advisor
class: Java class that will be called by the advisor
name: Name by which the advisor will be identified in the process settings.
operationId: Id of the operation where the advisor will be injected.
Add an extension service, Right click, New -> extensionService and fill an id and use the same class used in the extension point.
Now let's the code:
All done! Now just create the feature and the site and upload the plugin to server.
I will try to shorten the time between posts, but by May it can be a bit difficult. See you next time!

Regular trims are the answer to all hair problems, but when your trying to grow your hair, it doesn't seem so smart.
I have recently started using my all time favourite hair product again which I used to use for YEARS and my hair is looking much better! My mum recently gave me a bottle and I am rediscovering my love for it all over again. It's Avon's advance techniques daily results dry end serum.
I hate buying 2 different serums for wet and dry hair. This product can be used either way!
Usually I would go the natural route, which I had been doing with olive oil and using it as a serum, but it gets so greasy and smelly to use everyday and is better suited as a deep conditioning treatment. This has a non offensive pleasant scent and also contains sunscreen for protection. I have also tried plenty of other serums that don't do a better job but cost 10X the price!
The best part.... Wait for it, is the price!

A couple of months ago I found out about ketchup (credits to Daniel Drake, and his blog).
ketchup is an awesome utility/script, written by Matt Mackall in Python, which makes it very easy to manage kernel sources. You can very easily upgrade to a newer kernel version, downgrade to older releases, and even switch between different patchsets. The ketchup ebuild I found in Portage (and in every Linux distro I know about) was fetching the original and out-of-date version of ketchup. Steven Rostedt had pulled the original ketchup code (v0.9) into his git repo @ kernel.org. However, there were no commits/updates to ketchup for 1-2 years, I think.
So, I decided to cleanup some of the old trees that ketchup supported, but were no longer maintained, and add support for new trees (or some updated 'versions' of the old trees). I sent the patches to Steven Rostedt, and he proposed that I take over and maintain ketchup. 🙂
I cloned the ketchup git repo to Github, applied the patches I'd written, plus quite a lot of patches that the Debian ketchup package provided.
Now, with the Linux-3.0 release approaching, I tried to add (at least) partial support for the new 2 digit version numbers, but there are still some issues, which will hopefully get resolved once Linux-3.0 gets released, and the new versioning scheme gets standarized (for example the EXTRAVERSION Makefile variable will probably not get removed from 3.0, as it breaks some userspace utils, like uptime etc from procps utils, some depmod issues etc).
The new code for 3.x kernels is currently in the linux-3 branch, from which I took a snapshot and pushed it to Portage as dev-util/ketchup-1.1_beta. I will hopefully merge it back with master, after the first -stable release comes out (Linux-3.0.1), just to make sure that everything works.
Feel free to give it a try, and report any bugs/issues.

Vernal • The four hunters with Ace Redhair all agree: It's a beautiful buck.
He has heft and four points on each side of his dark-chocolate rack, which is not really wide, but a respectable 27 inches.
For nearly a minute, all are silent, holding their breath, waiting for Ace to pull the trigger on this buck 230 yards away. Ace learned in the Army how to take the perfect shot and he's using the technique now.
When he finally breaks the tension, though, it's not with a shot but a joke.
Ace has decided to wait for Shannon Karren, a sponsor of this trophy hunt, who is in another pickup truck nearby on Diamond Mountain, 30 miles northeast of Vernal.
Hours later, in the dark back at camp, Ace has no regrets that he passed up the buck; Karren thought he could do better in the five days left of this nine-day hunt.
"They want us to get a $10,000 deer," says Ace as he and his brother, Joey Redhair, talk about the monster bucks they let live this evening.
"Everybody keeps telling us, 'They're going to get bigger' and they have," says Joey. "Every day we've gone out, they've gotten bigger and bigger and bigger."
But what the dozen or so Vernal residents who are hosting these wounded veterans may not know, is that it's enough just for them to be here, in these mountains, for this week.
'It's for them' • The idea for this hunt and others like it came to David Gurr last spring, not long after he and his family returned from Okinawa, where Marines had a memorial service for his son, Sgt. Daniel Gurr. A Force Reconnaissance Marine, the 21-year-old was struck by small-arms fire and died Aug. 5, 2011, in Afghanistan.
Daniel had two passions soccer and hunting and his father and stepmother, Dana Gurr, figured the best way to honor him was to create a foundation with a twofold mission: sending care packages to those still fighting and taking wounded veterans on big-game hunts.
A flag that flew for Daniel in Afghanistan was auctioned off at last winter's Hunt Expo in Salt Lake City, providing seed money for the Sgt. Daniel D. Gurr Foundation.
Leland Slaughter, who provides survivor outreach for military members from all branches, says many survivors in Utah create foundations or scholarships. The Gurr foundation is the first, however, to take wounded veterans hunting, says Slaughter, a hunter himself who has come to visit.
"A common thread is they don't want their son to be forgotten," says Slaughter.
Daniel Gurr is the only Uinta Basin resident who has died to date in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Just as residents and the business community rallied around the Gurrs, his siblings and Daniel's mother, Tracy Beede, when he died lining the streets when his body was returned home and during his funeral procession they are supporting the foundation now.
Karren, owner of Dan's Tire Service in Vernal, bought one of the landowner tags, a special hunt that helped pushed this week's tag costs to about $10,000. Each vet had tags for a cow elk and a trophy buck.
Basin Sports donated clothing and C&S Meat in Roosevelt is butchering the two cow elk the Redhairs shot last weekend. Taxidermist Randy Massey has agreed to mount their bucks at cost and B & D RV Center donated the use of two camp trailers.
"Vernal and Roosevelt are very patriotic," says David Gurr.
It's as if the Basin-sized hug continues.
"It's not for us now, it's for them," says Gurr, gesturing to the two wounded veterans.
'Like we're their own ' • Joey, 27, lives in Eagle Mountain with his wife and two children, and is a bit overwhelmed by the gift he's been given.
He was an Army combat engineer who did six tours in Iraq and Afghanistan before an improvised explosive device ended his last tour in 2010.
He had two surgeries to his right leg and spent nearly two years in rehab at Fort Drum, N.Y. For six months he was in a wheelchair, and doctors were dubious he would ever walk again. Even now, they warn he may lose his leg because of a condition that is leaving holes in his bones.
He was finally discharged last March.
Joey heard about the Gurr Foundation and its big-game hunts from a wounded warrior representative, and he and his brother applied online even though neither had ever hunted big game like this. When he and Ace arrived Oct. 26, the Gurrs had rented a camp trailer for each. They gave them hunting clothes and quilts, and Dana Gurr lined up friends and family to cook meals for the whole camp.
One walled tent holds the food; a second has a wood stove, chairs and a television connected to a satellite dish so they did not have to miss a Denver Broncos game. American flags catch the breeze outside the tents and at the entrance of the camp, flanking a foundation banner with Daniel Gurr's picture.
Every day, the veterans go out in trucks with different hunters, the Gurrs or their friends who know these mountains and the boundaries between public land and the few private ranches where they've been given permission to hunt.
"This has been amazing," says Joey Redhair, who is using the .30-06 Remington rifle his father left him when he died last January. "I almost feel guilty for getting to do this."
"They've taken me and my brother in like we're their own."
'These guys genuinely care' • Ace Redhair, 31, is more guarded about his time in the Army working in ordnance disposal. His wounds are not so obvious, though he was medically discharged, like his brother. "It's a lot of different things," he says.
Ace, who has been out of the Army for two years, is married, has three boys and lives in Salt Lake City. He is passionate about guns and builds military-style assault weapons, some of which he displays to the men who have come to help with the hunt.
He intends to auction off two of them at the Hunt Expo in February to raise money for the Gurr foundation. "I'll be shocked if it doesn't bring $10,000," he says of one of the guns.
The week in the mountains of eastern Utah, he says, has been one of the best experiences he's had since leaving the Army.
"Out of all the therapy we've gone through," Ace says, "this is the most therapeutic thing we've done."
The evening after he passed up the buck with dark horns, Ace goes back and bags the buck. He has a trophy now, but it's the people he'll remember.
"These guys genuinely care about our well-being," Ace says. "We've made friendships that will last a lifetime. That kind of stuff you can't replace."

The U.S. Supreme Court today will decide whether same-sex couples will soon have the legal right to marry in California for the first time since voters forbade such nuptials by passing Proposition 8 nearly five years ago.
Ending months of anticipation, the Supreme Court announced Tuesday that it will release rulings Wednesday in the long-running legal battle over Proposition 8 and a separate challenge to the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal benefits to same-sex couples nationwide.
Chief Justice John Roberts indicated that the court will end its term with rulings in its remaining cases, and the same-sex marriage cases are two of the three still to be decided. The rulings will be released starting at 7 a.m. PDT, and San Francisco city officials plans to fling open the doors of City Hall shortly beforehand for a "public viewing" of the court's decisions.
The justices are reviewing a federal appeals court's ruling last year striking down Proposition 8, California's 2008 voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage. The court is also considering a separate federal appeals court's ruling declaring the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.
Based on how the justices distribute decisions among themselves each term, legal experts are predicting Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy are the likely authors of the opinions.
There are a host of outcomes possible in the Proposition 8 case, ranging from the court upholding the law to a sweeping ruling finding such state bans on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. The court also may duck the central questions by finding that Proposition 8's sponsors do not have a legal right to defend the law in place of Gov. Jerry Brown and state Attorney General Kamala Harris, who both consider it unconstitutional.
Whatever the Supreme Court decides, gay marriages will not resume immediately in California. The legal details will not be complete in the case for at least 25 days, making it likely that any marriages, if allowed under the court's decision, would not take place until later in July at the earliest.
The two couples who sued to overturn Proposition 8 will await the ruling at the Supreme Court. That includes Kristin Perry and Sandy Stier, a Berkeley couple seeking the right to marry.

Arachnid, (class Arachnida), any member of the arthropod group that includes spiders, daddy longlegs, scorpions, and (in the subclass Acari) the mites and ticks, as well as lesser-known subgroups. Only a few species are of economic importance—for example, the mites and ticks, which transmit diseases to humans, other animals, and plants.
General features
Body and appendages
Arachnids range in size from tiny mites that measure 0.08 mm (0.003 inch) to the enormous scorpion Hadogenes troglodytes of Africa, which may be 21 cm (8 inches) or more in length. In appearance, they vary from short-legged, round-bodied mites and pincer-equipped scorpions with curled tails to delicate, long-legged daddy longlegs and robust, hairy tarantulas.
Like all arthropods, arachnids have segmented bodies, tough exoskeletons, and jointed appendages. Most are predatory. Arachnids lack jaws and, with only a few exceptions, inject digestive fluids into their prey before sucking its liquefied remains into their mouths. Except among daddy longlegs and the mites and ticks, in which the entire body forms a single region, the arachnid body is divided into two distinct regions: the cephalothorax, or prosoma, and the abdomen, or opisthosoma. The sternites (ventral plates) of the lower surface of the body show more variation than do the tergites (dorsal plates). The arachnids have simple (as opposed to compound) eyes.
The cephalothorax is covered dorsally with a rigid cover (the carapace) and has six pairs of appendages, the first of which are the chelicerae, the only appendages that are in front of the mouth. In many forms they are chelate, or pincerlike, and are used to hold and crush prey. Among spiders the basal segment of the chelicerae contains venom sacs, and the second segment, the fang, injects venom. The pedipalps, or palps, which in arachnids function as an organ of touch, constitute the second pair of appendages. In spiders and daddy longlegs the pedipalps are elongated leglike structures, whereas in scorpions they are large chelate, prehensile organs. Among spiders the pedipalps are highly modified as secondary sexual organs. The basal segment is sometimes modified for crushing or cutting food. The remaining four pairs of appendages are walking legs, though the first of these pairs serves as tactile organs among the tailless whip scorpions (order Amblypygi); it is the second pair that functions as such among the daddy longlegs. Among the spiderlike ricinuleids (order Ricinulei), special copulatory organs are located on the third pair of legs. Some mites, particularly immature individuals, have only two or three pairs of legs.
In many arachnids the cephalothorax and abdomen are broadly joined, while in others (such as spiders) they are joined by a narrow stalklike pedicel. The abdomen is composed of a maximum (in scorpions) of 13 segments, or somites. The first of these may be present only in the embryo and absent in the adult. In some orders a mesosoma consisting of seven segments and metasoma of five may be distinguished, while in others a few posterior segments may form a postabdomen (pygidium). In general, except for the spinnerets of the spiders, the abdomen has no appendages. In some groups it is elongated and distinctly segmented; in others it may be shortened, with indistinct segmentation. Postanal structures vary in both appearance and function. The scorpions have a short stinger with a swollen base enclosing a poison gland, and the whip scorpions (order Uropygi) and micro whip scorpions (order Palpigradi) have long whiplike structures of unknown function.
Distribution and abundance
With the exception of a few groups that have become aquatic, arachnids are terrestrial predators. Spiders (order Araneida), daddy longlegs (or harvestmen; order Opiliones), false scorpions (order Pseudoscorpiones), and mites and ticks (subclass Acari) are nearly worldwide in distribution. Scorpions (order Scorpiones), sunspiders (or wind scorpions; order Solpugida), tailless whip scorpions (order Amblypygi), and micro whip scorpions (or vinegarroons; order Uropygi) are widespread within the tropical and subtropical areas of the world, only occasionally being encountered in temperate areas. Of more sporadic distribution but more common in tropical areas are the sunspiders, the schizomids (order Schizomida), and the ricinuleids (order Ricinulei). In temperate areas mature spiders and daddy longlegs are particularly conspicuous during early autumn, though they are abundant throughout the year. Most arachnids, however, are seldom observed, for they inhabit leaf mold and litter or soil. Most abundant of the arachnids are the ticks and mites, found in soil, in fresh and marine waters, and as parasites of animals, including humans.
The numbers and predaceous habits of arachnids make them important to humans. Free-living mites play an important role in the conversion of leaf mold to humus. Many mites are parasitic, and many ticks are intermediate hosts for organisms that cause serious diseases. Though all spiders possess poison that can be utilized for subduing prey, only a few have a poison sufficiently powerful to affect humans. A bite of the black widow spider (Latrodectus mactans) may result in discomfort or serious illness, whereas that of the brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) may result in a severe local reaction, including tissue death. The sting of some scorpions may cause a severe reaction and even death.
Natural history
Reproduction and life cycle
In most cases the male does not transfer spermatozoa directly to the female but rather initiates courtship rituals in which the female is induced to accept the gelatinous sperm capsule (spermatophore). During mating the sperm are transferred to a sac (spermatheca) within the female reproductive system. The eggs are fertilized as they are laid. Mating in sunspiders is more active, occurring at dusk or during the night. During courting the male seizes the female, lays her on her side, massages her undersurface, opens her genital orifice, and forces a mass of sperm into her spermatheca. Reproductive behaviour in mites is highly variable; sperm usually are produced in a spermatophore and transferred to the female either by the chelicerae or, in ricinuleids, by the third pair of legs of the male.
The daddy longlegs appear to be the only arachnids in which sperm transfer is direct. There is little or no courtship among the members of this class. Instead, mating occurs whenever a male and female encounter one another. The male has a chitinized penis that is inserted into the genital opening of the female as the partners face one another.
Many arachnids simply deposit their eggs in the soil or in a protected site, and no further care is given to them; others, particularly some tropical species, guard the eggs by remaining with them during the period of development. Some spiders place their eggs in cocoons. The eggs of some tailless whip scorpions, schizomids, whip scorpions, and false scorpions are attached beneath the abdomen.
Among scorpions the fertilized eggs develop inside the mother, and the young are born alive. In scorpions whose eggs contain much yolk, the eggs develop within the oviduct; in those with little yolk, the eggs remain in place, and each embryo lies in a diverticulum (hollow outpouching) with a tubular extension through which nutrient fluids pass from the wall of the maternal intestine. When the young are sufficiently developed, they are expelled and carried about on the mother's back until after the first molt. False scorpions carry their eggs in a brood sac attached to the genitalia. The embryos develop and grow within this brood sac and are nourished by the female.
Details of early development are not known for all forms, but that of egg-laying spiders is considered typical. The two major divisions of the body (the cephalothorax and the abdomen) appear at an early stage, and the appendages first appear as knobs. In many arachnids the organism is wrapped around the yolk, a situation altered by a process termed inversion or reversion, after which hatching usually occurs.
Growth occurs by molting, or ecdysis. In many arachnids the first molt occurs while the animal is still within the egg. The newly hatched arachnid is small, and the exoskeleton is less sclerotized (hardened) than that of the adult. With the exception of the mites and ticks and the ricinuleids, which have three pairs of legs when hatched, the hatchlings have four pairs of legs. The number of molts required for attaining maturity varies considerably, especially among the larger species, which may molt up to 10 times. Before molting, arachnids seek a protected site. Most spiders, false scorpions, and some mites produce a cocoon to protect themselves at this time.
Mites differ in both development and growth. In the life cycle of the mite, unlike other arachnids, an egg hatches into a six-legged, or hexapod, larva, which passes through one or several immature (nymphal) stages before becoming an adult. Most mites lay the eggs, though in some species the eggs develop within the body of the female and hatch within or immediately after extrusion (ovoviviparous). Some of the Acari are also able to reproduce from unfertilized eggs (parthenogenesis). The life cycle of ticks is similar to that of mites.
The life span of arachnids in temperate areas is usually a single season, with the eggs serving as the overwintering stage. In warm regions some groups (e.g., whip scorpions, tailless whip scorpions, scorpions, sunspiders, and tarantulas) live more than a single year.
