Earthworms to blame for decline of ovenbirds in northern Midwest forests

ScienceDaily (Feb. 29, 2012) ? A recent decline in ovenbirds (Seiurus aurocapilla), a ground-nesting migratory songbird, in forests in the northern Midwest United States is being linked by scientists to a seemingly unlikely culprit: earthworms.

A new survey conducted in Minnesota's Chippewa National Forest and Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest by a research team led by Scott Loss of the University of Minnesota and the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center has revealed a direct link between the presence of invasive European earthworms (Lumbricus spp.) and reduced numbers of ovenbirds in mixed sugar maple and basswood forests.

The results are detailed in a paper published online in the scientific journal, Landscape Ecology.

European earthworms are invading previously earthworm-free hardwood forests in North America the scientists say, and consuming the rich layer of leaf litter on the forest floor. In turn, herbaceous plants that thrive in thick leaf litter and provide cover for ground-nesting birds are thinning out, replaced by grasses and sedges.

As a result, ovenbird nests are more visible and vulnerable to predators and ovenbirds searching for nesting sites reject these low-cover areas outright. Areas of reduced leaf litter also contain fewer bugs for the ovenbirds to eat, requiring them to establish larger territories, resulting in fewer birds over a given area.

The worms invading northern Midwestern forests (and forests in the northeastern U.S. and Canada) have been in the U.S. since soon after the first European settlers arrived. Loss explains the worms were brought over inadvertently in the ballast of ships, in the root balls of agricultural plants or on purpose for use in gardening. Only now is the leading edge of their continued invasion, caused mainly by logging activities and fishermen dumping their bait, reaching interior wilderness areas such as parts of the study site in the remote forests of Wisconsin and Minnesota.

"Night crawlers [Lumbricus terrestris] and the slightly smaller red worms [also called leaf worms or beaver tails, Lumbricus rubellus], have the most damaging impacts to the soil, litter layer, and plants in forests that were historically earthworm-free," Loss says.

"Everyone has probably heard at one time or another that earthworms have really positive effects in breaking down soil and making it more porous," Loss explains. "This is true in agricultural and garden settings but not in forests in the Midwest which have developed decomposition systems without earth worms."

Because the forested areas of the Midwest U.S. were once covered in glaciers, there are no native earthworm species present in the soil. "These earthworm-free forests developed a slow fungus-based decomposition process characterized by a deep organic litter layer on the forest floor," Loss says.

Earthworms feed on this layer of leaf litter and make it decompose much faster, Loss explains. "As a result, we see the loss of sensitive forest-floor species such as trillium, Solomons seal, sarsaparilla and sugar maple seedlings and a shift in dominance to disturbance-adapted species like Pennsylvania sedge."

One result is reduced nest concealment for the ovenbird and increased predation by squirrel and bird predators.

The researchers found no decline in three other species of ground-nesting birds included in their survey -- the hermit thrush (Catharus guttatus), black-and-white warbler (Mniotilta varia) and veery (Catharus fuscescens) -- nor did they find a correlation between ovenbird decline and invasive worms in other forest types, such as red oak, paper birch and aspen.

"Our results suggest that ovenbird density may decline by as much as 25 percent in maple-basswood forests heavily invaded by invasive earthworms," the researchers conclude. "Maple-basswood forests are among the preferred ovenbird habitats in the region, comprise a considerable portion of the region's woodlands?and are experiencing Lumbricus invasions across most of the northern Midwest."

Previous studies have demonstrated that invasive earthworms also are harmful to other native North American species, such as salamanders.

There is reason for concern that the overall population of ovenbirds could decline, Loss points out. "Ovenbirds migrate to Central America and the Caribbean and back every yea --a trip during which they can fly into buildings and towers or get nabbed by a cat as they rest on the ground--and they also face loss of habitat on their breeding and wintering grounds. Now, here is yet another potential threat to their survival."

(AP) ? Ten-year-old Joanna Ramos died from blunt force trauma after emergency surgery for a blood clot on her brain, investigators and family members said.

As far as police can tell, the blow did not come from a weapon, or a wall, or a windshield, but only the fists of another young girl whom she fought hours earlier.

While the specific circumstances of Joanna's death are especially tragic and extremely unusual, medical experts said a blow in just the right spot can often prove fatal.

"This is rare, in that I've never seen it in a female, certainly not in a female adolescent," said Dr. Keith Black, a neurosurgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Black, who was not involved in Joanna's medical care, sees such injuries all the time among older patients and said a blow to the head from one young girl to another could "absolutely" be sufficient to cause enough trauma to lead to death.

Punches to the head can often lead to delayed bleeding if a vein is torn, and that can lead to a clot when blood collects on the surface of the brain.

Coroner's Lt. Fred Corral said Ramos died of blunt force trauma to the head and said her death has been ruled a homicide, but he didn't immediately have further details about her injuries.

The finding rattled the already shaken school community at Willard Elementary, where Joanna attended the fifth grade. She died Friday, about six hours after a brief fight with another girl in an alley near the school in a working-class neighborhood in the port city of Long Beach.

Joanna, who would have turned 11 on March 12, was unconscious by the time she arrived at the emergency room and underwent emergency surgery for a blood clot on her brain late Friday after she began vomiting and complained of a headache, her older sister, 17-year-old Vanessa Urbina, told The Associated Press.

"After surgery the doctor said she was still alive, and then a few minutes later he comes back and tells us that her heart stopped and they couldn't bring her back," Urbina said, crying as she sat on the steps of the school near a memorial of flowers and balloons.

Police said they have made no arrests and were conducting an investigation that will be presented to prosecutors when it's completed.

Worried parents lingered as they dropped off their children Monday in a light rain and wondered aloud how the school, tucked a few blocks off a major city street, could have become the scene of such unexpected violence.

"I'm just so confused at this moment, thinking should I take my daughter out of this school," said Victoria Pyles, whose daughter started classes at the school last week. "If this is what is going on, I don't like it. It's very scary."

School officials believe the fight occurred near the school in a 15-minute window between the time school let out and the start of Joanna's after-school program at 2:30 p.m., said Chris Eftychiou, a spokesman for the Long Beach Unified School District.

Joanna didn't have any visible injuries or show any signs of distress for about an hour, but she eventually told staff she felt unwell and was picked up by a relative, he said.

Urbina, the older sister, said Joanna's cousin picked her up. After her mother retrieved her, Joanna vomited in the car all the way home and told her mother she felt sleepy and wanted to go to bed.

Symptoms ? such as headache, nausea, lethargy ? may not set in for hours and people can mistakenly think that they're fine, Black said.

Typically, he said, the hit to the head would have to be fairly significant to cause a blood clot and often involves the head hitting walls or the ground, but a punch is enough.

"You can certainly get enough of an impact to get enough movement in the brain by a fist to tear a vein, if it's in the right location," Black said.

Police have said the fight lasted less than a minute, did not involve weapons, and no one was knocked to the ground.

A friend of Joanna's saw her as she reported to the after-school program after the fight and said she had blood on her knuckles from wiping at a bloody nose, said Cristina Perez, the friend's mother.

Perez said her daughter, who is 10, heard about plans for the fight, apparently over a boy, during recess earlier in the day and knew to stay away from the alley after school.

Fights involving young children, including girls, are increasing nationally, in part because of the wired world children now live in, said Travis Brown, a national expert on bullying and school violence.

Children used to have a disagreement at school and would have a night or a weekend to cool down, but social media and text messaging mean students can continue their dispute 24 hours a day, he said.

"There was a time when a kid had a way to escape the things at school, but now there's no escape," Brown said. "That stuff just escalates to a point where it gets out of hand. This is an everyday occurrence."

How does a car accident affect my auto insurance premiums ...

How does an automobile accident affect my vehicle insurance premiums?

Car Insurance Questions

Being complex in a blow will affect your ante in assorted manners. The means in which it will affect your premiums are abased aloft the underwriting guidelines your allowance provider has. There will not consistently be a abrogating aftereffect on the action rate.

Car collisions are classified on a few factors. One of the most important ones is whether or not you are considered to be at fault in the car accident or not. If you are not found to be at fault in the accident, more than likely your premiums will not be affected. If the collision did not involve another car, a traffic accident might be considered chargeable unless it was the direct result of an act of nature. A police report will usually suffice for an auto insurance company in determining who is at fault in a car accident. It is possible for more than one party to be found at fault in the scenario.

A collision may be considered non-chargeable if the damages to a car amount to less than $750 in repair charges. This $750 limit may be raised or lowered depending on the specifications of your auto insurance company. If there are no injuries to any parties involved and the damage is confined to a small amount, your auto insurance premiums will not be affected. If you are considered at fault in a car accident where traffic laws are broken, you may receive a citation. If you are issued a citation, non moving violations will not be included.

The circumstances surrounding a car accident play a large role in how the collision will be classified. If you collide with an emergency car, you may not be deemed responsible for the car accident. In their hurry to reach the scene of a car accident, traffic laws may be disregarded by the car's drivers. If this is the case, you are not considered to be at fault. There are other considerations to take into account, though. Was a driver involved in the car accident under the influence of alcohol or drugs? This is considered to be a major violation, and the car accident will almost certainly be considered to be their fault.

If a car accident on your record occurred more than three years ago, it will not be considered chargeable by an auto insurance company since a statute of limitations exists on traffic accidents. If you are in an car accident, do not worry about how it affects your rates too much. If your insurance provider raises your rates, it is possible for you to use price comparison techniques to find a carrier with more affordable auto insurnace rates.

Cancer therapy more potent when it hits 2 targets

Friday, February 24, 2012

Simultaneous targeting of two different molecules in cancer is an effective way to shrink tumors, block invasion, and stop metastasis, scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have found?work that may improve the effectiveness of combination treatments that include drugs like Avastin.

The two-target approach, tested in mice with a type of cancer known as neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors, may have broad application for treating a wide variety of cancers, the UCSF team said. The drugs used in the tests belong to classes of pharmaceuticals that are either on the market or under development in clinical trials.

Clinical trials also are already underway to gauge effectiveness of the approach in humans with prostate cancer, breast cancer, and other tumor types. The UCSF study, described in the journal Cancer Discovery this week, is the first to show how the drug combination works in the laboratory.

The results are promising, said Donald McDonald, MD, PhD, a member of the UCSF Helen Diller Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Cardiovascular Research Institute and professor of anatomy, who led the research.

In the study, treating mice with the dual-target approach turned aggressive tumors with invasive fingers penetrating surrounding tissues and many metastases into tiny balls with few or no metastases.

"It's the combination of approaches?there's a synergy between the two," McDonald said. "You add two and two, and you get 10."

How each target works

The two targets are both proteins that scientists have known for years are involved in cancer. Both play important roles in malignant tumors.

The first, called c-MET, is involved in two processes associated with the most deadly cancers. A clinical marker of cancer aggressiveness, c-MET drives tumor invasion into surrounding tissues. It is also involved in metastasis?the spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body where they can establish new tumors.

The second target is a protein known as vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF). VEGF is a protein that promotes the growth of new blood vessels. Growing tumors hijack this process to expand their network of blood vessels to provide nutrients. Drugs blocking VEGF have been developed based on the simple assumption that tumors cannot grow if you choke off their blood supply.

Drugs that target these molecules are in development, and a few are already on the market. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first of these in 2004 to treat metastatic colon cancer. That drug, called Avastin, is manufactured by the South San Francisco-based company Genentech. Avastin was approved for metastatic breast cancer in 2008 under the FDA's accelerated approval program.

The FDA revoked approval of Avastin for breast cancer last year after further assessing the relative risks and benefits to women taking it. Blocking VEGF seemed to slow tumor growth for awhile, but the FDA determined that it did not significantly improve or extend the lives of most women taking it.

"It was not clear why some tumors responded and others did not. It was also unclear why some tumors would respond initially and then would stop responding," said McDonald, who has studied blood vessels in tumors and the effect of cancer drugs for years in his UCSF laboratory.

Two years ago former UCSF professor Douglas Hanahan and colleagues found in laboratory experiments that Avastin-like drugs would shrink tumors but unexpectedly did something else as well. The drugs also morphed tumors from roundish blobs into highly irregular growths with tendrils that penetrated surrounding tissues and even spread to other organs?suggesting that the VEGF blockade could also make tumors more aggressive, invasive and metastatic.

McDonald's group confirmed Hanahan's findings and discovered that c-MET was involved. In their latest research, Barbara Sennino, PhD, with other investigators in his group set out to determine whether c-MET drove tumor aggressiveness during anti-VEGF therapy. What their paper shows is that blocking c-MET and VEGF together in mice is more powerful than blocking either alone because it not only slows tumor growth but also reduces invasion and metastasis.

They tested two inhibitors of VEGF?a neutralizing antibody and sunitinib?and three inhibitors of c-MET?crizotinib, PF-04217903, and cabozantinib (XL184). Unlike the other agents, cabozantinib simultaneously inhibits both c-MET and VEGF. Inhibition of c-MET and VEGF together with a drug combination or with cabozantinib had more profound effects on tumors than any of the agents that blocked only one of the targets.

These promising laboratory results still need more tests of safety and effectiveness in the clinic, McDonald said, and it may be a year or more before the drugs are routinely available to patients.

Duck Pond Swans Fly The Coup | The Method to our Madness

Due to the nature of swans and the size of our Duck Pond, we had to relocate the baby swans. ?Now after two years they are fully grown, can fly, and were ready to leave the nest. This is true of ?all animals in the kingdom, Humans are the only exceptions. ?{Some never leave home unless food is withheld (kidding :) }

The baby swans aren?t cygnets anymore. ?After testing their wings by flying out of the Duck Pond several times, we realized for their safety, it was definitely time for us, Park Maintenance, to step in and help them find a new home where they would continue to be safe from predators. ?A nice lake was found for them just 30 miles away in Deerfield, Va. ?Their 1.5 acre new home, which is bigger than the Duck Pond, is a similar atmosphere with a steady flow of fresh water. ?There are other waterfowl, a nesting area, and most importantly, a caring family like the citizens of Staunton who will look after them and feed them daily.

We are still graced with the original swans (the parents) that we purchased several years ago for Gypsy Hill Park?s Duck Pond. ?They seem unfazed by the natural flying of the coop of their offspring. ?They were ready.

Everyone who gets your emails should be able to tell immediately that the email is from you. Your company or business name should be placed in the ?From? section of the e-mail. Avoid sending product names ? just use your own name. Your subject lines also need to stand out from everybody else?s but they should have a distinctive style.

It is important to learn how to do this but keep in mind it may take extra time. For instance, you need to learn what words make your subscribers curious, and those that turn them off. Crafting an excellent subject line, not filled with hype, is a skill in and of itself. It is definitely well worth it. You can better target your e-mail campaigns by simply using the demographic information that you are able to collect from each subscriber when they subscribe to your ezine. For example, if you want to start promoting a local service, you?ll be wasting the time of people who live across the country. Sometimes you will have offers that only pertain to women. By sending an e-mail only to women, you will get a better response. Targeting specific demographics will be very beneficial to your e-mail marketing campaigns every time. You want to give the impression that you care about your subscribers. Doing so will lead you to higher levels of profitability.These same approaches are oftern used by people seeking Success in MLM

Always remember to consider your reputation. A common mistake that many newbie e-mail marketers make is to send out an e-mail blast when they want to sell something just because they need the cash. Although you may have good intentions, you will more than likely have many subscribers opt out if you start sending them to me offers. People hate to be sold, especially in a repetitive fashion. You need to develop a sense of trust with your subscribers. They should look forward to your e-mails, anxiously awaiting them, because they know you would only send them something of value. Your subscribers will be anxious to hear from you if they do not receive an e-mail every day.

How well you do at online marketing is usually the sum total of many interrelated things. Turning a profit online can be done in many ways. People that do Internet Marketing full-time, however, understand that e-mails sent to loyal subscribers can really make you money.

Most of the money you will make on the Internet will come from your list. To create the strongest and most profitable foundation for your Internet Marketing online business, apply our e-mail strategies today.

'Downton Tabby' tribute is the cat's meow

By Randee Dawn

Whatever will we do now that the second season of "Downton Abbey" has ended? Yes, patience befits young ladies and gentlemen, but waiting for Season 3 is so dreary -- and our character-inspired paper dolls (courtesy New York Magazine's Vulture blog) can only entertain for so long. Fortunately, Catsterpiece Theater has come to the rescue with "Downton Tabby."

(Note: Some adult language and humor.)

In this heartfelt tribute, Lady Mary -- er, Lady Tabby -- is refined, well-dressed and enigmatic, though she insists (via captioning) that "i iz no lady." (Her suitor disagrees, even as he has a hard time keeping hold of her.) And she utterly breaks with tradition once there's a catnip sale announced.

Nine lives are never easy for a genteel kitty cat in a red dress.

What do you think of "Downton Tabby"? Should they make more episodes? Tell us on our Facebook page.

The Tesla Bricking Story? It?s Nonsense

vita-3Here's a fun fact: Batteries and cars require maintenance. The Tesla Roadster runs on batteries that also require maintenance. Out of the 2,200 Roadster owners, apparently at least five didn't read the manual on their new toy and let the car sit off the charger for several months -- or so says one regional service manager. This is a no-no according to Tesla. The result? The battery packs completely died and needed to be replaced at the owner's expense. This is not unique to the $100k Tesla Roadster. Batteries stop working without a charge. It just so happens that the battery pack in question isn't a $100 laptop battery. The latest owner with a bricked Tesla is reportedly going to have to pay $40,000 to replace the battery pack in his Roadster.

There is a way to exercise and watch tv! Perform exercises during the commercials, and you?ll get a pretty decent workout done during an hour-long program.

When motivation for your workout is waning, a new article of exercise clothing, like a vibrant workout suit, might boost your enthusiasm. Even if you just buy one part of the workout outfit, it will still be a great motivator to get you to the gym.

Try and remain active throughout the day, even while resting as this has shown to greatly improve a persons fitness level. Arm and leg lifts can be done anytime you are watching television, and you can do stretches while you are at your desk.

Practice foosball and other games that require hand-eye coordination, and you will find your volleyball skills will increase as well.

Your core affects the way you perform nearly every exercise. If you have a strong core, it?ll help with your other exercises. Sit-ups not only help in core strength building, but they also improve your overall level of fitness. They can also increase your flexibility. Doing these types of exercises will target your ab muscles.

Make pears and apples a part of your daily fitness plan. It is common knowledge that diets containing fruits and vegetables are healthier than those that do not.

During the last third, increase your speed more than you would normally be apt to. This helps increase your body?s endurance level, allowing you to push yourself further each time.

Lifting weight should be limited to an hour or less. Plus, your muscles get too much wear and tear after an hour of working out. Once 60 minutes has passed, put the weights down and give your body a break.

Practice the ?invisible chair? exercise to strengthen up your legs. Start by finding an empty wall that fits your body. Stand with the wall behind you about 18 inches. As you bend your knees, lean backwards against the wall until your back makes full contact with the wall. You should then bend the knees until the thighs and the ground are parallel and your body is in a seated position. Remain in place for as long as you can tolerate it.

In order to get the most out of your workout and improve your fitness, your diet should consist of a balance of protein, healthy fats and carbohydrates. You need around 20 percent fat, 35 percent carbs, and 45 percent of protein. Proteins are a building block for most of your bodily functions.

Politics of Rick Santorum's theology: Is faith a kingmaker or deal-breaker?

Rick Santorum, playing the religion card, appears to be winning support of evangelical Christians ahead of potentially pivotal GOP primaries in Arizona and Michigan.?

The language of personal faith appears to be helping GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum turn lingering doubts among Protestant evangelicals about Mitt Romney's Mormonism (and even President Obama's Christianity) into a poll surge.

Skip to next paragraph

Mr. Santorum, the former US senator from Pennsylvania, was excoriated by pundits this week, after a 2008 speech to Ave Maria University surfaced in which he suggested that Satan is waging a ?spiritual war? on the United States. Earlier in the week, Santorum, a Roman Catholic and staunch social conservative, talked about Mr. Obama adhering to ?phony theology,? a quip that Santorum later insisted wasn't about the president's faith but about his support of ?radical environmentalism.?

Then the Rev. Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, added to the controversy by suggesting he couldn't ?categorically? say whether Obama, who has repeatedly stated that he's a Christian, may be totally genuine in his Christian beliefs. He also said, when asked about Romney's faith, that most evangelicals don't consider Mormonism to be a Christian faith.

Amid an unusually unsettled nomination process, the focus on faith may be just the latest example in which a candidate attempts to draw a distinction for undecided voters while forcing his competitors to defend their beliefs.?Voters will ultimately decide whether a candidate's theology is a valid issue in a political campaign, or whether the debate should stick to concerns such as jobs, the economy, and illegal immigration.

At the same time, Santorum is striking a chord with religious voters. He has nearly doubled his support among white, evangelical Republican voters in the past month, going from 22 percent support in mid-January to 41 percent by Feb. 15, according to a survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. While a higher percentage of mainline Protestants support Mitt Romney, 21 percent now support Santorum, up from 9 percent in mid-January.

Persuading Christian conservatives, and evangelical Protestants in particular, that he shares their morals may pay off for Santorum in next Tuesday's pivotal primaries in Arizona and Michigan. But religious probing is also a way for voters, traditionally, to take stock of candidates' values and beliefs.

?American religions serve as a proxy for morality, and what we really want to know is whether or not our presidential candidates are good, decent, honorable people,? says Randall Balmer, a professor of American religion at Columbia University, in New York. ?The flawed premise, of course, is that somebody who does not have religious affiliation cannot be a moral person, and that's demonstrably false. But we don't know how to ask the question in any other way.?

5 Reasons Why You Should Do a Product Launch That Have ...

When most entrepreneurs decide to launch a product, they're mostly thinking about how many products they're going to sell or how much money they'll make during the launch.

Now while that's a great reason to have a product launch, it's actually not the only reason. In fact, I may go as far to say it's not even the most important reason. Let's take a moment and go through the top 5 reasons to have a launch that have nothing to do with selling that particular product.

1. You create visibility for yourself. Even a small product launch will create visibility and get people talking about you. After all, the point of a product launch is to create a buzz and get some of your free content to go viral. The sheer act of doing that builds name and brand recognition, which is key to growing a business.

2. You build your credibility. If your product launches include releasing free content (i.e. videos, special reports) or hosting a free call or webinar, how you present that information can go a long ways towards building your credibility. If you giveaway great content and people can experience for themselves how knowledgeable you are, your credibility will shoot through the roof.

3. You build your list. Offering free content or a free call or webinar is a great way to build your list. Even if you have a small list there are ways to structure your product launch to maximize your list building. (Note -- the end result may not be tons of sales but rather a big boost in your credibility and visibility not to mention more names on your list.)

4. You build momentum in your marketing and your business. Product launches take an enormous amount of energy to get off the ground. That energy has to go somewhere (remember the laws of physics -- energy is neither created or destroyed, just transformed) and if done right it's transformed into a huge momentum boost for your business. You'll likely find marketing your business much easier after a launch -- not just because your personal momentum is going but because your prospects are still "talking" about you and are more open to receiving your message.

5. You sell your other products and services. Remember all that visibility and credibility you created with your launch? Well, you likely got the attention of people who may not be interested in the specific product you're launching but they ARE interested in YOU. Don't be surprised if sales of your other products and services jump (this typically happens both during and after the launch).

Now, here's the best part. If you do a product launch for reasons OTHER than a big payday at the end of the day, think about how good it will feel when you DO sell a bunch of products? One of the biggest reasons why product launches are so stressful and so discouraging is entrepreneurs put this big number out there on how many they want to sell and when they don't hit that number, they're depressed -- EVEN though it may really have been a big success in other ways. So, if you flip it, you can relax during the launch, enjoy it more and be excited and grateful for whatever sales you make.

Food for thought.
