Discuss plants and what they need. Ask students if all plants are alike, and what they require to grow. Show All About Plants to give students an understanding of plants and their needs.
After watching the video, talk about the types of plants featured. Do all plants look alike? What needs do plants have? How do they get their food? Discuss the parts of flowering plants and the process of photosynthesis, the process by which plants make food. Talk about plants that are familiar to the students. What do they look like? Where do they grow? What are their needs?
Have students choose a familiar flowering plant they would like to learn more about; tell them they will research and write a paragraph about it. Each paragraph should include the plant's common and scientific names; a description of the parts (seed, root, stem, leaves, and flower); its needs; and at least three interesting facts. Also have students draw a picture with each plant part labeled. Students may use encyclopedias, botany or gardening books, or magazines for research. The following Web sites also have useful information:
Allow time in class for students to research and complete their paragraphs and drawings. Then divide the class into groups of three or four so they can share their work. Ask them to discuss within their groups the differences and similarities of the plants.
Ask for volunteers to share what they learned from their research and group discussions. Review what students have learned about the needs of plants, the parts of flowering plants, and photosynthesis.

Gamescom 2011: New Arkham City Screens Showcase Mr. Freeze
August 17, 2011
By Jimmy Thang
Hot off the heels of announcing that Batman: Arkham Asylum will support NVIDIA 3D Vision, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released five new screenshots of the highly-anticipated game. These screens showcase Batman's ice-cold nemesis, Mr. Freeze.
Behold!...dynamic lighting...and a boot to the face.
Behold!...the governor of California!
That's some impressive lighting and particle effects.
Batman: "Is that volumetric fog I see?"
Dude took one too many chill pills.
The damaged bat suit aesthetic is carrying over into the sequel.
Broken shards of ice will really pop out with PhysX enabled.
London-based developer Rocksteady Studios has stated that the PC build of Arkham City will have "a life of its own." This statement is exemplified by the fact that the PC version will support DirectX 11, Tessellation, and NVIDIA PhysX, essentially making it the definitive copy to own.
PC gamers can get their hands on all this goodness when Batman: Arkham City zips to retail and digital download outlets this October.

Former Milford mayoral candidate indicted
MILFORD -- Genevieve Salvatore, a local attorney who unsuccessfully ran for mayor in 2009, has been indicted on federal fraud charges.
Salvatore is one of five people charged in connection with a scheme in which they allegedly obtained millions of dollars in mortgaged property by falsifying documents, including sales prices.
The indictment signed last week by Paul Fishman, U.S. attorney for New Jersey, and two assistant federal prosecutors in Connecticut, David Huang and John McReynolds, alleges that the five conspired from September 2006 to November 2008 to make several fraudulent real estate transactions.
Salvatore allegedly served as the closing attorney in some of these transactions, in which one sale price was reported on official documents while a second, lower price was paid.
The five people named in the indictment have been charged with conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and making false statements. Also named are: Andrew Constantinou, Lawrence Dressler, Kwame Nkrumah and Jacques Kelly. Nkrumah, also known as Roger Woodson, owned and operated All World Realty Enterprises in New Haven. Dressler is an attorney who practices in New Haven, Constantinou is a loan originator, and Kelly, a New York resident, purchased several of the affected properties, the indictment states.
Salvatore is specifically accused of handling two real estate transactions in Jan. 2007, in which she sent closing documents for two New Haven multi-family houses, at 369 Shelton Avenue and 569 Elm Street. She allegedly sent the packages by Federal Express to a Lisbon, Conn. mortgage broker who is not identified in the affidavit.
A Democrat who unsuccessfully challenged incumbent James L. Richetelli Jr. in 2009, when Richetelli won his final term, Salvatore has also served as chairman of the city Economic Development Commission. She is also active in the Food Allergy Awareness Network. Her son is allergic to peanuts, and Salvatore has worked to get better protection for food-allergic children in schools.
Salvatore lives in Milford with her husband and son, and also owns a home on Nantucket. She did not return a reporter's phone call Wednesday.

Drum roll, please! For the very first time, we are pleased to host our very first Book of Yum video introducing Carol Fenster's new sorghum pie crust from her book 1,000 Gluten-Free Recipes. Some months ago, I was pleased to receive a review copy of Carol Fenster's beautiful new, hardcover cookbook. The great thing about this book is that there are such an enormous range of recipes. It could really replace the old gluten-filled Better Homes and Garden cookbook as a single, classic gluten-free cookbook. It covers a wide variety of recipes including breakfast, quick breads, yeast breads, appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches, wraps, pastas, grains and beans, fish and seafood, other meat bits, vegetables, cookies and bars, cakes and cupcakes, pies and pastries, and fruit and custard desserts. Whew. I've found tons of beautiful recipes in the book I'm looking forward to trying, but when trying to pick one for this review, I decided to try her pie crust since it was perfect for Thanksgiving, and also because we don't have many pie crusts here at the Book of Yum. I was extremely impressed with how easy it was to work with the dough. I think it really might rival gluten pie crusts for workability. I almost felt like I could have swung it over my head like pizza dough! After making a pie crust to save for later, I decided at the last minute to use some as the dough for a savory Thai turnover. (Picture of Filling Here) This dough is undoubtedly great for sweet pie crusts, but it clashed with the salty and savory seasonings in the Thai filling. I also have mixed feelings on the flavor of sorghum in general, but the chemistry in this recipe is absolutely fabulous. I've never had such an easy time making pastry before!
Now about the video. A friend of mine recently got a new video camera and some video editing software. He suggested we do a video for the Book of Yum so he could play with his software. I decided that Carol's pastry would be the perfect special, video-worthy subject, and one weekend afternoon he and his wife came over to do this fun video. In retrospect, I would NOT wear an apron. Let's face it, I look like a little muffin. But I was thinking flour all over my dark blue dress wouldn't be great, so there you have it. It's a bit goofy, but what the heck. I thought I'd post it for Thanksgiving. Hope you enjoy! Please be kind… lol.

Carol Fenster's Sorghum Pie Crust Recipe
1 cup Carol's Sorghum Blend*
3/4 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup sweet rice flour
3 tbsp. sugar, divided
1 tsp. xanthan gum (or 2 with no guar gum)
1 tsp guar gum (or 2 with no xanthan)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup shortening, such as Crisco or Spectrum Vegetable, or Buttery sticks such as Earth Balance
1/2 cup 1% milk (soy, rice, potato, nut, or cow)
1 tsp. vinegar or lemon juice
1) Place the sorghum blend, tapioca flour, sweet rice flour, 2 tbsp. sugar, xanthan gum, guar gum, salt, baking soda, and shortening in a food processor and process until crumbly. Add the milk and vinegar and process until the dough forms a ball. If it doesn't form a ball, use a spatula to break up the dough into pieces and process again, scraping down sides if necessary. Remove the dough from the food processor and knead with your hands uyntil smooth. Shape the dough into your two 1-inch-thick disks, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.
2) Massage a disk of dough between your hands until it is warm and pliable, making the crust easier to handle. With a rolling pin, roll to a 10-inch circle between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap. Move the rolling pin from the center of the dough to the outer edge, moving around the circle in clockwise fashion to assure uniform thickness.
3) Remove the top plastic wrap and invert the crust, centering it over a 9-inch nonstick (gray) pie pan. Remove the remaining plastic wrap and press into place. Trim the edges to an even overhang all around the pan. Shape a decorative edge around rim of pan if you are making a single-crust pie. If not, leave the over-hang in place.
4)For Double-Crust filled pie, follow steps 1,2, and 3. Add filling as directed in your recipe. Roll remaining disk of dough to a 10-inch circle, invert, and center on the filled crust. Do not remove the top plastic wrap until the dough is centered. Trim the top crust to the same over-hang as bottom crust. Press the two crusts together and shape a decorative edge around rim of pan. Freeze 15 min. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Prick the top crust several times with a fork to allow the steam to escape. Place the pan on a nonstick baking sheet.
5) Place a rack in the bottom position and another in the middle position of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375F. Bake 15 min. to brown bottom crust. Move to middle position and bake 25 to 35 minutes more or until the top crust is nicely browned. Cover loosely with foil if the edges brown too much. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
Sorghum Blend:
1 1/2 cup sorghum flour
1 1/2 cup potato starch/ corn starch
1 cup tapioca flour

After US bases in Panama closed in 1999, US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) needed to identify an airfield in the eastern pacific to use as a forward operating location (FOL) for maritime patrol, reducing transit times and increasing on-station effectiveness to support multi-national counter illicit missions. The US Navy and Air Force developed the concept of the FOL and Cooperative Security Location (CSL) to support deployed forces and aircraft conducting these operations, under the auspices of SOUTHCOM. CSL/FOLs provide the detection and monitoring capability required by the Counter Illicit Trafficking (CIT) mission.
Operating since August, 2000, CSL Comalapa relies on a staff of 25 permanently assigned military personnel and 40 civilian contractors to provide deployed forces the operational and maintenance support to conduct around the clock operations including facilities, logistics, communications, security, lodging, and numerous other services as required. The CSL supports an average of 175 USN, USNR, USCG and CBP personnel flying P-3C, E2C, C-130 and HH-65D aircraft and is under the operational control of U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command (NAVSO)/U.S. 4th Fleet. CSL Comalapa had its original 10-year host nation agreement was extended five years in the spring of 2009 and has seen a steady increase in operational tempo since the closing of Manta, Ecuador, in August 2009.

In recognition of World Food Day, the United Soybean Board (USB) and the soybean check-off are showcasing the efforts of soybean producers to reduce world hunger and malnutrition with soy protein.
According to Sharon Covert, Illinois Soybean Check-off Board director, protein deficiency is a major cause of malnutrition, and soybeans, high in protein content, is a solution to the problem in many developing countries.
Through the World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (WISHH), the soybean check-off is finding new uses for soy in the global battle against malnutrition. Each year, the United Nations' World Food Day works to bring attention to the fact that while there is enough food in the world to feed everyone, more than 800 million people go to bed hungry.
Jim Hershey, director of the World Initiative for Soy in Human Health, says the check-off funded group has launched three projects in more than a half dozen countries.
"Over 100,000 pounds of donated soy product are on the ground in African countries, in addition to another $1.5 million in textured soy protein and soy flour," he says. "Even a program this size, though, is a drop in the bucket in terms of world food needs. It's also a small percentage of the U.S. foreign food assistance program, which is less than 5 percent of all assistance in the overall U.S. budget, and less than 1 percent of our gross national product."
The group's current projects include promoting soy's potential for improving the protein content in the wheat-based foods that are the staple of diets throughout Central Asia and many other countries, and convincing short- and long-term commercial markets to incorporate soy protein into diets in the developing world.
Steve Sonka, director of the National Soybean Research Laboratory (NSRL) in Illinois, says, "We are working closely with the soybean check-off boards to generate the tools required to meet the growing need for protein around the world.
"When we look to the future, we see significant increases in people's desire to purchase animal protein and significant increases in the consumption of fish. We see increases over the next two decades that exceed 80 percent over current levels," he says. "This increase in demand is not evenly distributed over the world, with most increases occurring in Asia and South Asia. In some cases we're anticipating seven-fold increases in consumers' desire to consume poultry, swine and fish in the commercial market place. That's important for soy growers because those three products have the potential to consume large amounts of soy meal."
Income growth by itself will not move malnutrition levels down to the levels society wants to achieve. "As a flexible, desirable protein, soy is well-designed to enhance those needs, Sonka says. "The soybean industry has done an excellent job of fueling demand in some geographical areas, but the growth in consumption will be in the areas of China, South Asia and India. We need new strategies for those markets. Clearly we need something more than just assuming income growth will take care of the problem," he says.
"Soybean protein fits well into food manufacturing, which can generate economic activity, making it more sustainable than just direct food aid," adds Sonka.
Covert says, "One of the major challenges in introducing soy is that it be culturally acceptable. Soy-enhanced products must look and taste like local foods, and WISHH is successfully incorporating soy into local diets across the world."

Follow the Money Trail With The Avengers
Summer movie season is upon us and we're looking for the next big film to rake in the big bucks and to see who's getting a slice of what.
For now, our sights are drawn to Marvel's The Avengers, which hits theaters Friday. The action-packed superhero flick is expected to bring in more hype and ticket sales than the 2012 blockbuster surprise The Hunger Games.
For reference, Hollywood Reporter estimates an opening of $150 million or greater. The Hunger Games brought in $152.5 million at opening.
The Avengers has plenty to suggest it will surpass ticket sale estimates in its debut weekend. The superhero film reunion is already sending hard-core comic fans into a swoon just thinking about seeing all their favorites on the same screen. Most importantly, Avengers is the going to be the sequel of all sequels, and nothing warms up theater seats like a sequel. It's attracting fans of Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, and Hawkeye -- all played by America's favorite celebrities.
May the odds be ever in your favor
We all know big movies bring in big money, but depending on the rights holders, the funds can be dispersed in countless directions.
This is demonstrated by The Hunger Games, whose film producer Lions Gate (NYS: LGF) saw shares jump more 80% in the first few months of the year as more investors realized just how big the hype was likely to increase sales. Similarly, Scholastic reported better-than-expected book sales that boosted shares nearly 15%.
Along the same lines, The Avengers is based on the Marvel Comics, which was acquired by Walt Disney (NYS: DIS) in December of 2009. Disney, currently trading around $43.81, is just about at its 52-week high of $44.50, reached only days ago. It started the year at $37.50.
Similarly, the movie is produced by Viacom's Paramount Pictures. Shares are up 7.95% year to date with significant growth in the start of May.
Surely the hype over Avengers can be credited for part of the boost. The question is, does it have more room to grow?
Other plays on The Avengers are IMAX (NYS: IMAX) and RealD, which provide the viewing enhancements that seem to exist purely for films like these. Indeed, it's as if these companies wait around for big films like The Avengers to hit theaters so the audience will feel the charge for a 3-D/IMAX ticket is worth the extra cost.
Business section: Investing ideas
Sure, the names mentioned above are strong plays for the Avengers hype, but the year has only just begun. And just think, we haven't even discussed The Hobbit or the Fifty Shades of Grey movie expected for later this year.
With all of this in mind, we have to wonder where movie theater companies fall as a second derivative play. We list some theater stocks below. (Click here to access free, interactive tools to analyze these ideas.)
