Most of these fish may not fly the freak flag as we know it, but all of them are invasive species that are dominating an environment in which they are not native–and adversely affecting the habitat they now call home. This year Food & Water Watch, the non-profit that helps people navigate making safe and sustainable food and water choices, has included invasive species in their Smart Seafood Guide–with the idea that adding invasive species as a menu item may help to control their populations at less destructive levels. And with so many other aquatic species being overfished to the point of extinction, it may be an idea whose time has come. What do you think? Asian swamp eel for dinner?
Following are 9 invasive species as Food & Water Watch has described in the new guide.
1. Asian carp (Midwest and Great Lakes regions)
Asian carp, as they are known in the United States, actually includes several different species, including the bighead, black and silver carp. Asian carp species are not bottom feeders, and so are generally lower in contaminants than the common carp. Although the FDA has not yet evaluated these fish for contaminants, they are believed to be low in mercury. These fish are native to Asia and were brought to the United States primarily by catfish farmers in the 1970s to control algal blooms in aquaculture ponds. Today, Asian carp have spread through major waterways from the Southeast through sporadic flooding events, and have moved toward the Great Lakes regions. Asian carp are a problem because they are prolific spawners, grow and mature quickly, and feed on both plant and animal plankton. Silver carp, for example, may consume two to three times their own body weight in algae and phytoplankton each day — throwing off ecosystem balance. Asian carp may compete with other native fish populations in the lakes and ponds of the Midwest. Asian carp can be caught with cast nets, hand nets or occasionally on hook and line.
2. Asian shore crab (East Coast states from Maine through North Carolina)
Asian or Japanese shore crab is native to to parts of Russia and Japan, but has become invasive along the East Coast, from Maine through North Carolina. It was probably introduced into the United States by international ship travel. Asian shore crabs are small, usually measuring not more than an inch and a half across, but are opportunistic feeders and will consume small fish, crustaceans, algae and anything else they come across. Its primary negative impact as an invasive species is displacement of native crab populations, as it competes for similar habitat to native blue crab, rock crab, and lobster.
3. Asian swamp eel (Hawaii, Georgia, Florida)
Asian swamp eels are native to many parts of Asia, and are currently listed as invasive in three states: Hawaii, Georgia, and Florida. In New Jersey, their status is listed as unknown but they have recently been found there. The eels' introduction to the wild probably took place accidentally in the Southeast (from an aquarium or fish farm escape) and they may have been introduced as a food fish in Hawaii by immigrants. They have no known predators in North America. The eels are highly adaptive, can live in just a few inches of water, and can travel short distances on dry land. They are predators, feeding on insects, worms, fish, crustaceans and small amphibians — but can also survive for weeks without food. All of these traits make them especially risky as an invasive species. In particular, there is concern that populations of Asian swamp eels have been found within a mile of Florida's Everglades National Park; if these eels manage to establish themselves in that sensitive ecosystem, it could displace threatened native populations and vegetation. It is a popular food fish in Asian cuisine and has a meaty texture. Contaminants unknown, no incidents reported.
4. Chinese mitten crab (California and New Jersey)
The Chinese mitten crab is native to Southeast Asia but was introduced to California in the early 1990s, probably by way of international ship travel. It is now established throughout many California water networks surrounding the San Francisco Bay, and also in New Jersey, with several other states reporting sightings. The crabs are edible, and considered a delicacy in some cultures. They are imported live, sometimes illegally, as the sale of these crabs is prohibited in certain states. Release of live crabs from these shipments may be another means of introduction. Ecologically speaking, Chinese mitten crabs are a nuisance in non-native areas, especially in urban areas, and may clog water pumps and hamper water delivery. They also burrow into soil, which can exacerbate riverbank erosion and weaken levees. The mitten crab eats a variety of plant and animal materials, which may harm recovery efforts of endangered species in the California delta; they are also a problem for rice farmers, as the crabs can damage the rice crop in flooded fields by eating young shoots. Although there is limited data, testing on Chinese mitten crab captured in California has revealed low levels of chemical contaminants20; there is little data on New Jersey populations of this species.
5. European green crab (Eastern and Western Coasts of U.S.)
The European green crab was introduced to the East Coast of the U.S. in the early 1800s, probably by way of ship travel. In the late 1980s, the crab was discovered on the West Coast, and invasive populations have since become established from California through Washington and up into British Columbia. The European green crab is a small but voracious predator, and it is able to outcompete other crabs for food and habitat. It eats a variety of small crustaceans (including the young of commercially important crab populations), algae, and shellfish such as oysters, clams and mussels. They can be caught in traps or collected from shellfish operations (they are a nuisance to these facilities). Although the FDA has not yet performed testing specifically on this species for contaminant levels, academic studies suggest that it does not contain levels of mercury or PCBs that can be harmful to human health, because it is especially sensitive to these contaminants itself. Although the meat yield from a green crab is somewhat lower (because they are smaller than other types of crab), it can be eaten like any other kind of crab — in soups, seafood bisque or crab cakes.
6. Lionfish
The lionfish is a tropical fish native to a wide range of regions in the western Pacific Ocean. Since the early 2000s, it has become an established invasive species on the East Coast of the U.S. and in the Caribbean, probably as a result of people releasing aquarium fish in coastal waters. The lionfish is fast-growing, a voracious eater, reproduces yearround, and has no known predators in the areas to which it has now been introduced, so it is quickly becoming a threat to local ecosystems, especially along the central and south Atlantic coasts. Because it is not native to the U.S., it has not traditionally been considered a food item there; however, in areas where it is native, such as the Red Sea between Egypt and Saudi Arabia and many islands in the Pacific, the fish are regularly consumed. Because they are slow moving, lionfish are typically caught with spears or hand-held nets, a catch method that is very selective and results in little bycatch or damage to habitat. Although its spines are venomous, they are easily removed after capture and the poison in them is neutralized by heat, as through cooking. The lionfish is a whitefish and is said to taste similar to certain snappers and groupers.
7. Rusty crawfish
The rusty crawfish is native to Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, but it has become invasive in at least 17 states throughout the U.S., from Maine to New Mexico. Because it is a popular baitfish, this crawfish has probably been introduced into new waters accidentally by recreational fishing. Most people may not be familiar with the risks that these creatures can pose to new environments. Rusty crawfish can establish themselves in new areas easily, as females can lay 500 eggs or more at a time. The rusty crawfish is a voracious and opportunistic eater, and can change the ecology of regions it invades by reducing the abundance and diversity of plants and aquatic life where it lives. Because it can eat twice as much as native crawfish, it also has the potential to outcompete and overtake the local crawfish population. The rusty crawfish is caught for commercial consumption in some areas, and can be eaten like any other type of crawfish. Because they live in the mud, crawfish are generally purged in fresh water for several hours prior to eating to flush out any contaminants. However, care should be taken to adhere to state laws, some of which prohibit the capture of live rusty crawfish (which means they can't be adequately purged before cooking). Contaminants unknown, no incidents reported.
8. Tilapia, Mozambique and blue
Two populations of tilapia have been introduced to the U.S. through escapes from fish farms — the Mozambique tilapia, which is native to southern coastal Africa, and the blue tilapia, native to the Middle East and parts of Northern Africa. These fish are now established throughout many warmer southern states from Hawai`i to Florida. Tilapias can tolerate a wide range of salinity, and so can live in freshwater or marine habitats (and everything in between). Tilapias can be a threat to native species because of competition for food and habitat; the presence of invasive tilapia populations can lead to declines in wild populations of native fish. Tilapia is white-fleshed and mild-flavored, and a popular food choice in many countries. It is already growing in popularity in the U.S. Contaminants unknown, no incidents reported.
9. Walking catfish (Florida)
The walking catfish is native to Southeastern Asian countries, but has become invasive in southern Florida, and is at risk for becoming invasive in other states. It was introduced to the U.S. in the 1960s, probably as a result of the aquarium trade, and after attempts to farm the fish commercially here. The walking catfish is unusual because it is able to live out of water for short periods, and even to move short distances over land. This allows it to take advantage of flooded fields, canals, and even rainy days to expand its territory. This fish has previously invaded several eastern coastal states and Nevada, but as of 2011, has been eradicated from all locations except for Florida. Like many types of aquatic invasive species, the walking catfish is a voracious eater and will consume a wide variety of foods including small fish, insects, plant material and detritus. Its eating habits may help it to outcompete other predators in ponds and it can quickly establish itself as the dominant species in new areas. This type of catfish is viewed as a delicacy in much of Southeastern Asia, and especially in India — and can be eaten as any other type of catfish. Contaminants unknown, no incidents reported.

My late mother-in-law was a Golesworthy. Unusual enough to make research slightly easier? That's until you start looking at the family's place of origin – Honiton in Devon, UK. Two streets of them in the 1880's – and they all seem to have loved the name "William". Still, I've found her
- parents – Walter Frederick Golesworthy and Lilian St John
- grandparents – Harry Thomas Golesworthy and Ellen Carter, William Samuel St John and Harriet Roberts
I've found some of her great-grandparents too, including Charles Golesworthy. But going back beyond his birth in 1820 has been (and remains) a challenge. But that's what makes genealogy fun!

I think me being able to get back into education quickly enabled me to focus... I was very lucky in finding [it] so quickly after missing so much, some people are not so lucky
London, England (PRWEB UK) 20 January 2013
Lansdowne Student May Gabriel, who won the prestigious Young Digital Hero Award at the end of 2012 for her continued work to raise awareness about teenage depression, has kicked off the New Year with continued success and a new looking website.
May launched the new look It's OK Campaign blog after she got to a staggering 10,000 twitter followers and won the award – all whilst studying at Lansdowne Sixth Form College in London. In her online biography May writes "From February 2011 I started attending the college I am still attending today. The college took me on at a strange time, and enabled me to complete 3 of my GCSE's: Maths, English and Geography. I think me being able to get back into education quickly enabled me to focus on that and try to move forward. I was very lucky in finding education so quickly after missing so much, some people are not so lucky... Now, I have just finished my GCSE's, and am continuing with my A levels, I'm a year behind but finally I have gotten here!"
The college's distinct approach towards education and respect for its students has obviously been a huge inspiration for May as she has announced plans to meet with her LEA to get a schools programme up and running. Her aim is to help teenagers suffering from depression using social media resources and encouraging people to share their thoughts with the goal of changing the stigma around teenage depression. By running a schools programme she can get her message out there to help those who need it as well as help teachers recognise the signs of depression in students.
According to a BBC news report there are an estimated 80,000 children and young people in the UK suffering from depression.

Dodgers edge Angels
Los Angeles, CA – Adrian Gonzalez went 4-for-4 with four runs scored as the Los Angeles Dodgers survived with an 8-7 win over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
The Dodgers overcame three errors and a poor start from Zach Greinke, who was tagged for six runs -- four earned -- and ten hits in four-plus innings. Juan Uribe did not start the game but finished 3-for-3 while Scott Van Slyke had two hits and a pair of RBI.
Ronald Belisario (3-4) earned the win by inducing a double play in the seventh inning while Brandon League picked up his 11th save for the Dodgers, who host Tuesday's clash before the series heads to Angel Stadium of Anaheim for the final two games.
Albert Pujols and Howie Kendrick had three hits apiece to pace the Angels, who had an eight-game winning streak snapped.
Mike Trout singled with one away in the opening frame before Pujols lofted a pop up into center field. Matt Kemp tracked the ball down but it bounced in and out of his glove, ultimately landing on the grass next to him. Trout and Pujols ended up in scoring position and scored when Mark Trumbo struck out but advanced to first when Ramon Hernandez allowed a passed ball and made a poor throw to first.
Gonzalez and Van Slyke ripped consecutive doubles to start the home half of the second inning, putting the Dodgers' first run across.
Pujols doubled and scored in the third when, after Trumbo and Josh Hamilton were retired, Kendrick doubled to center to give the Angels a 3-1 edge.
Greinke's struggles continued in the fourth inning when Hank Conger led off with a single to left and advanced on C.J. Wilson's sacrifice. Erick Aybar doubled home Conger and Trout followed with his major league-leading sixth triple of the season. Pujols plated Trout with a sacrifice fly to the warning track in center.
Hernandez's sac fly in the fourth plated Gonzalez to make it a 6-2 game.
The Dodgers chased Wilson from the game with a four-spot in the home half of the fifth. With one out and Luis Cruz and Nick Punto on the corners, Mark Ellis doubled in a pair of runs to bring the home team within two. Kemp whiffed for the second out, but Gonzalez singled in a run and Van Slyke followed with an RBI-double off the wall in left. Michael Kohn replaced Wilson on the mound and got Hernandez to pop out, ending the frame.
"We got a big lead early, but unfortunaley, C.J. (Wilson) couldn't make some of his pitches," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Give them credit, they came back."
A.J. Ellis hit a sacrifice fly with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning to give the Dodgers their first lead, but it didn't last long as Kendrick drove in Hamilton with a single to right the next time the Angels took the plate.
The home team finally pulled ahead for good in the bottom of the seventh when they got to Angels reliever Robert Coello (1-1), who hadn't allowed a run in 8 1/3 innings in relief this season. Coello fanned Kemp and Van Slyke around a Gonzalez single, but Andre Ethier drew a walk and Jerry Hairston Jr. drove in Gonzalez with a single to right before Cruz struck out.
"We got a lot of big hits tonight," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "A lot of good thigns happened. It didnt start pretty, but it was a good effort by us to come back."
League gave up a leadoff single to Pujols to start the ninth, but got Trumbo to hit into a double play then forced a groundout from Hamilton to end the game.
Game Notes
Wilson started for the Angels and surrendered six runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings ... Kemp went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts ... Both teams had four hits with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base.

Learning kanji is a seemingly endless process...
Quote from: Kevadu on February 27, 2012, 05:52:37 PMLearning kanji is a seemingly endless process...This right here is the fundamental problem with any "Hey I'll just go learn Japanese!" approach. To elaborate upon Kevadu's statement; in college I had a Japanese teacher (actually a native of the nation) who summarized it by saying there are new Kanji created every year. For my own analogy I would say imagine if the American alphabet suddenly spawned 2 new letters every year which only had very specific uses. Any attempt to 'learn' the language would be far outdated by the time you made any progress. So you pretty much have to live in the culture to have a hope in hell of being able to proactively read it proficiently.
Well, if it wasn't obvious from my preview from the E3 floor, Mugen Souls is getting localized. To be honest, I had my misgivings about the game like everyone else, especially since I'm not the biggest Compile Heart/Idea Factory fan, Hakuoki notwithstanding (that game was great.) But when I saw it hidden away in a corner of the Tecmo-Koei booth (next to Pokeymans Conquest), I figured, "Ehh, why not?" And guess what? I happened to enjoy it quite a bit more than expected, perhaps more than I should have, when I demo'd it at E3. Sure, a lot of text was still in Japanese but I thought the game was fun and funny. Oh, and like I said in my preview, NISA kept mum when asked about the naughty onsen stuff addressed earlier in the thread, but did say that the game's virtually unchanged, especially the dialogue and Japanese voices. http://www.rpgfan.com/previews/Mugen_Souls/index.htmlKlyde- if I have a bead on your gaming tastes as well as I think I do, you'll adore this game. And this got me thinking. It's almost like dating outside your type in a way. Even if your preferred type is the dark-haired, edgy, punk/metal chick, and someone sets you up with a blonde, breezy, pop-princess cheerleader (basically, not your type) but you decide, "Ehh, why not? I'll give this girl a chance" then end up having a good time with her in spite of yourself and you think, "You know, maybe I just might go out with her again."

Boozy Hot Chocolate/
Guest post by my friend Stephanie Klose, a Brooklyn-based writer and editor, contributor to Serious Eats and blogger at stephanieklose.com (and previously, right here on the blog!).
A Christmas or two ago, I received a bottle of Godiva chocolate liqueur as a gift. It's not something that I would normally keep around and I don't generally drink the kinds of drinks that call for it. But it was given with love by someone who liked it herself and I held on to it, stashing it out of sight until recently, when it occurred to me that there was one legitimately very delicious thing I could do with it: augment hot chocolate.
[Ed. Note: Before we jump to the recipe, I feel compelled to commend Steph on finding a good use for gift-booze that she wasn't necessarily keen on at first look. I am way guilty of letting too many well-intentioned presents collect dust on my liquor shelves and so I take this advice to
liver heart.]
Boozy Hot Chocolate
Fill a mug with milk to about an inch and a half below the top. Pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat on low until steaming. While it's warming, add a heaping spoonful each of unsweetened cocoa and brown sugar (or white, but I like the bit of molasses flavor) to the mug, along with a splash of milk. Stir until it forms a paste (or slurry, depending on how much milk you splashed in). Add warm milk, stirring to combine, then 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla or other chocolate-friendly extract. I'm partial to either almond or peppermint. Add a shot of Godiva liqueur and stir. Top with a marshmallow if you like.

R&B star Ne-Yo has gone public with his new romance following a split from his longtime girlfriend.
The "So Sick" hit maker began dating Monyetta Shaw in 2009, and they welcomed daughter Madilyn in 2010 and son Mason in 2011, but the couple split last summer, and now the singer has moved on with video vixen and model Crystal Renay.
She has been sharing photos of the new couple together on Instagram, and Ne-Yo confirmed the budding relationship last week by posting a shot of her kissing him on the cheek.
He opened up about Renay in a recent radio interview with New York's Hot 97, saying, "We are in a good place. … She has much promise. Yes, much promise. Quality."
Ne-Yo also revealed he did not want to keep his personal life a secret from fans, explaining, "You know what, at this point in my career, at this point in my life… I'm 34 years old, I don't have time to be hiding.
"Of course, there are some things you keep personal and private because you're a human being. But, on the other side of it, I ain't got time to be hiding nothing and all that (sic). It is what it is."

DURHAM — Much of the focus this week has been on how the University of New Hampshire football team's defense will fare against Wofford's relentless rushing attack.
What about the Wildcats' offense versus the Terriers' defense?
Although UNH ranks ninth nationally in total offense, it's coming off one of its worst performances of the season in a 64-35 loss to Towson.
The Tigers held the Wildcats to 345 yards, their second lowest total of the year, and outscored them 34-7 in the second half.
One of UNH's touchdowns came on a blocked field goal return and another came early in the fourth quarter when the game was pretty much out of hand.
"They got us out of our rhythm," said leading receiver R.J. Harris. "We don't work like that as an offense. Getting down, we were trying to make too many big plays. Rather than just play our game we tried to get it all back at once.
"We have to stay focused," Harris added, "and not get behind."
"We were OK," said coach Sean McDonnell, "but OK doesn't win that game."
No. 11/13 UNH (8-3) will be going up against the No. 10 scoring defense in the country when the teams meet Saturday (2 p.m., ESPN3) in a second-round FCS playoff game in Spartanburg, S.C.
No. 9 Wofford (8-3) is giving up an average of 17.7 points per game.
The Wildcats are averaging 36.6 points a game, and are tied for 10th nationally in that category.
"We're playing a very tough team in New Hampshire," said veteran Wofford coach Mike Ayers. "They're very well coached and their kids play extremely hard. Offensively, they have a lot of weapons."
The Terriers are ranked 20th in total defense, and they're tied with UNH for 17th in turnover ratio at plus-7.
"You have to hang onto the football," McDonnell said. "You've got to score points and you've got to take advantage of the drive opportunities you've got."
Especially against a team that can move the chains like the Terriers and their triple option.
"We've been practicing this week without the ball," said linebacker Alan Buzbee, "and I think that's been good for us. We've got to take care of all the options. That's kind of where they hit people. People are guessing where the ball is and if you take one false step they'll crease you."
UNH has one of the most balanced offenses in the country. The Wildcats rank 13th in rushing (234.2 yards per game) and 33rd in passing (236.7).
They're 12th in third-down conversions (49.7 percent) and fourth in red-zone offense, scoring on 94 percent of their trips inside the opponents' 20-yard line.
"We definitely need to capitalize every time we have the football," said guard Chris Zarkoskie. "We need to put the ball in the end zone and score sevens, not settle for field goals or turn the ball over."
"We have to make sure we hold onto the ball and score every time we get a chance," Harris said. "One of the big things is when we get into the red zone we have to take advantage of that."
The Wildcats also want to take advantage of their ninth straight trip to the postseason.
They've lost their last two playoff games and three of four. Last year's one-point loss at Montana State still hurts.
"After we lost (to Towson) guys were nervous about whether we were going to be in or not," Buzbee said. "When our name came up we got a whole other life."
The difference last year was a blocked extra point that could have tied the game with six seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
The ball was deflected at the line of scrimmage and hit the upright. Although there was an onside kick to come that play essentially ended the Wildcats' season.
"It's been on my mind since that game ended," Zarkoskie said. "I had a lot of respect for that senior class … and it hurts that they had to go out like that. We don't want to go out like that as a senior class this year."
▀ ▀ ▀
Tight end Harold Spears and receiver Jimmy Giansante are out with leg injuries. Cornerback Dontra Peters (sprained ankle) is expected to play.
▀ ▀ ▀
UNH is playing its 11th straight postseason game on the road. The Wildcats are 1-9 all-time in December.
Their lone win was a 45-20 victory at Bethune-Cookman in 2010.
▀ ▀ ▀
When asked about his name being mentioned in connection with the head coach opening at Boston College, McDonnell chuckled.
"There are a lot of other things in life I'm worrying about than the BC job," he said. "Like I told somebody, I'll be down at their (football) camp this summer."
Counting on the 'O': Wildcat offense must do its part against Wofford
DURHAM — Much of the focus this week has been on how the University of New Hampshire football team's defense will fare against Wofford's relentless rushing attack.

Mitt Romney is not shying away from attacking GOP front-runner Newt Gingrich, instead he's escalating his assault on the former Speaker of the House as an "unreliable leader."
An email from the Romney campaign with the subject line "WITH FRIENDS LIKE NEWT NANCY…" slams Gingrich for appearing in an ad with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to raise awareness about global warming, in addition to repeating an attack on his claim that Paul Ryan's budget was 'right wing social engineering.'
"Over his three decades in Washington, Speaker Gingrich has been an unreliable leader," writes Romney communications director Gail Gitcho. "When conservatives applauded for proposing bold new ideas to solve the budget crisis, Speaker Gingrich attacked his plan and threw him under the bus. And while conservatives were fighting job-killing cap-and-trade schemes, Speaker Gingrich shared a loveseat with Nancy Pelosi and lent his name to Al Gore's environmental agenda. Conservatives are looking for a reliable leader who they can count on to stand by their side."
The campaign also launched a new micro-site: http://unreliableleader.com, which will serve as a hub for anti-Newt opposition research.
The "unreliable" charge is a risky one for Romney, who himself has been criticized for a record of flip-flops on various Republican positions.
"Nothing's changed in my positions. I'm just as conservative as I was 4 years ago. Maybe more so,"
Romney has been under unrelenting assault from his fellow Republicans and even the Democratic National Committee for not being conservative enough for GOP voters.

Fruit of the "bastard hogberry" plant.
Inspiration can strike from the unlikeliest of places. Take the amusingly named bastard hogberry plant, for instance. Indigenous to South America, the fruit of the Margaritaria nobilis evolved its vibrant blue hue to entice birds to gobble it up and facilitate the dispersal of its seeds over a wide geographic area. By identifying and replicating the structural elements responsible for the fruit's color, scientists from Harvard University and the University of Exeter managed to invent a new kind of photonic fiber that shifts from red to blue—and several colors in between—when subject to pressure.
The resulting multilayer fiber, as described in this month's issue of Advanced Materials, could lead to the creation of smart fabrics that visibly react to heat or pressure, such as athletic-wear that changes color in areas of muscle tension or strain.
"Our new fiber is based on a structure we found in nature, and through clever engineering we've taken its capabilities a step further," says lead author Mathias Kolle, a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. "The plant, of course, cannot change color. By combining its structure with an elastic material, however, we've created an artificial version that passes through a full rainbow of colors as it's stretched."
The multilayer fiber could lead to the creation of smart fabrics that visibly react to heat or pressure.
The multilayer fiber could lead to the creation of smart fabrics that visibly react to heat or pressure.
After studying the structural origin of the seed's iridescence, the team at Harvard discovered that the upper cells in the seed's skin contain a curved, repeating pattern that creates color through the interference of light waves. (A similar mechanism is responsible for the way soap bubbles glisten.) Further analysis revealed that multiple layers of cells in the seed coat are each made up of a cylindrically tiered architecture with high regularity on the nanoscale.
It was by replicating these key structural elements that the scientists were able to create a flexible, stretchable, and color-changing fiber using an inventive "roll-up" technique they perfected in the Harvard labs.
"The fruit of this bastard hogberry plant was scientifically delightful to pick," says Peter Vukusic, associate professor in natural photonics at the University of Exeter. "The light-manipulating architecture its surface layer presents, which has evolved to serve a specific biological function, has inspired an extremely useful and interesting technological design."

How effective is the use of permanent dome sutures for narrowing the nostrils?
This is less radical than alar base reduction and does not run the risk of asymmetries.
Please advise.
Good question. As a surgeon, I cannot provide my personal opinion here as I represent the Academy in a broad statement. I can say that some surgeons believe that the method is highly effective, whereas others believe that the method is short lived. Unfortunately, you will encounter variable thoughts in your research of the best method for alar base reduction. One way that I know of that helps to limit the unnatural shape of the alar rim is known as a "Sheen flap" that preserves the natural arc of the nose and is what I use when I do alar base reductions so that you don't get that pinched look where you are missing the "nasal sill", the part of the nostril that curves back onto the face or upper lip.

Big surprise! It's a huge waste of money.
Big surprise! 4 billion years of evolution in making every living thing on this plant successful because of our collective ability to procreate beats out religiously motivated wishful thinking. Who could have possibly known? (Certainly not anyone who thinks that Jesus solves all your problems.)
Big surprise! It was all just a way for the religious right to get money from its shills in the government. Sadly, this blatant and obvious corruption at the expense of our youth will likely never be punished. I, for one, would like my tax money back on this one.
We've been saying this stuff all along, but nobody listens to us atheists. We're immoral.

SINGAPORE - Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel positioned himself as the main challenger to Fernando Alonso's Formula One title chances by earning his second straight Singapore Grand Prix win on Sunday, jumping up to second place in the drivers' championship.
Vettel inherited the lead from pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton of McLaren, who led the race until he suffered a gearbox failure on lap 23 of 59 and had to retire. It was defending champion Vettel's second win of the season after Bahrain and he reinvigorated his chances of earning a third straight title.
"We benefited a little bit from Lewis' failure," Vettel said. "We had a very, very strong pace all weekend and a good start, which got us in the hunt.
"I am just incredibly happy and proud."
Vettel had to defend his win both on the track and in the stewards' room after the race, having been called in to explain an incident behind the safety car when he hit the brakes unexpectedly at the exit of a corner, forcing second-place driver Jenson Button of McLaren to quickly swerve, with a collision narrowly avoided. Stewards cleared him of wrongdoing.
Hamilton suffered his third non-finish in five races — interspersed with two wins — as his gearbox finally gave up, having leaked fluid for three to four laps before he retired.
"It's heartbreaking not to have finished the race today," Hamilton said. "We definitely had the pace to win this weekend. In fact, before I retired, I was cruising."
Button was right on the tail of Vettel when racing resumed after the safety car with 18 laps to go, but said his car felt unbalanced in the closing stages, and he was not able to challenge the German.
The race was stopped when it reached the two-hour time limit, two laps before its scheduled finish, chiefly due to two safety car periods.
Alonso finished third in his Ferrari, with his championship lead trimmed from 37 to 29 points with six races to go, giving Vettel fresh impetus as he seeks to join Juan-Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher as the only men to have won three straight F1 titles.
"It looks better than before," Vettel said. "We have a lot of races left, the car seems to be competitive and we just have to use the momentum and keep pushing for these last races and see what happens."
Force India's Paul di Resta finished a career-best fourth ahead of Mercedes' Nico Rosberg. Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus was sixth and maintained third place in the championship standings despite not having won a race. Lotus teammate Romain Grosjean was seventh.
Felipe Massa of Ferrari finished eighth after dropping down to last following a first-lap puncture, and he finished ahead of Toro Rosso's Daniel Ricciardo, in only his second points finish of the season.
Fellow Australian Mark Webber of Red Bull crossed the line in 10th, but was given a 20-second penalty for overtaking off the limits of the track, dropping him down to 11th and moving Sauber's Sergio Perez into the last points position.
Schumacher was also given a penalty after crashing heavily into the back of Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne. He was handed a 10 grid-place penalty for the next race, as he admitted the error and it was his second similar offence this season.
Button was relatively pleased with second place, though disappointed with Hamilton's non-finish, which put a major dent in McLaren's bid to end a 13-year drought in the constructors' championship.
"Seb didn't make any mistakes and we finished second," Button said. "It's good to get some points on the board after the retirement at Monza.
"It's disappointing for the team to have another DNF (did not finish). We can't seem to do it with both cars and for sure that is something we need to work on for the remainder of the season."
Alonso acknowledged that Ferrari continues to struggle for pace, and his race was one of several which were compromised by the timing of the safety-car interventions, but he was satisfied with having maintained a good buffer atop the standings.
"It's a fantastic result in terms of points," Alonso said. "It's a positive weekend, a very good weekend; of the four, five contenders we lost points to one and with the others we increased our advantage."
Williams driver Pastor Maldonado started in a surprise second place and was running in third position halfway through the race but was forced to retire with a hydraulic failure.

One of the first steps to being old
I have decided that AARP — formerly the American Association of Retired Persons — is stalking me. At any rate, I think the organization has gone from informative to obnoxious.
I turned 66 in November, and they turned up the heat. I am not one of those people who was approached at, say 50 or even 55 and invited to join that happy group of older Americans who were offered discounts to movies, motels, restaurants, and lumber yards across the country. I attributed that to the fact that I didn't have grey hair.
At that age The Mister had a good deal of grey hair and also had an AARP discount card. I found that surprising, but figured AARP had a way of knowing who really looked old and who didn't. I was happy not to have grey hair or a discount card. And I was pretty sure my genes would keep me out of the grey hair thing for numerous years and it has. Thank you, Mom!
A year or so ago, a single lonely AARP membership application arrived for me. I filled it out and got ready to cash in with coupons and movie discounts. I sent them $16 for a year's membership and I was in — in over my head.
I get mail every day from that organization. Large envelopes thick with pages of wondrous bargains, bargains I neither want, nor would ever use. What happened to the movie and motel discounts? They must have decided that I am too old to need them.
Now they offer me Medicare gap insurance, life insurance, dental insurance, car insurance, additional health insurance, drug insurance, homeowner's insurance, roadside insurance, and more. Each thick letter has pages that urge me to sign up now — they tell me that my eligibility to accept the offer will end soon. I must hurry!
Then comes another thick envelope a week later with the same offer addressed to me personally on several pages because that will make me think they actually know me, right? It will make me realize they know my needs and only have my best interest at heart. Sheesh, I love it when someone seeking my business treats me like I am stupid.
During the year, I also get a couple of publications that tell me they are there to help me, but I seriously doubt that. Usually the publication tells me what some famous person like Oprah Winfrey or Bette Midler does to stay young. Huh? How does that work and why would I care? Didn't I already admit to being 66 years old?
And finally, I find myself on the mailing lists of a dozen or so charitable organizations requesting my financial support. I have never contributed to any of these groups and they are not in the sphere of groups I wish to support. However, their requests for funds suddenly are in my mailbox. So who gave them (or sold them) my name? I think I have a pretty good idea.
Makes me wish I had never written that first membership check. What could I have been thinking?

CARTA: Human Origins: Lessons from Autism Spectrum Disorders - Simon Baron-Cohen: The Fetal Androgen Theory
Date: 1/18/2013; 22 minutes
Autism affects males much more often than females. The explanation for this must either lie in diagnostic practice, hormones, genetics, or (most likely) a mix of all three factors. In this talk, Simon Baron-Cohen (Univ of Cambridge) summarizes 5 lines of investigation from his lab that suggest baby's sex steroid hormones are a key part of the puzzle of autism. (#24825)
