DES MOINES, Iowa Since she was a child, the giant ash tree that towered over Rebecca Robinson's small home offered a cool refuge during sultry Midwest summer days. It was the same down her tree-lined neighborhood's block and throughout much of Waterloo, a leafy Iowa city that's home to about 4,000 ashes.
But work crews have toppled Robinson's tree and soon, nearly all of Waterloo's ash trees will be gone too though many are perfectly healthy as big cities and small towns from Pennsylvania to Colorado surrender to a small, shiny bug by preemptively eliminating a big part of their urban foliage.
With the loss of so many mature trees, some towns may not look the same again for decades.
"Is some places, you could have a pretty hostile environment," said Gary Johnson, a forestry professor in Minnesota, where thousands of lush trees are falling.
The emerald ash borer, which is native to Asia, was first spotted in the U.S. in 2002, when it showed up in the Detroit area. It devastated ash trees in Michigan and has spread to at least 21 other states as people haul firewood or other wood products from place to place.

When Olympian and reality TV star Bruce Jenner started growing out his hair, the media began to speculate that he was transforming into a woman. These rumors have not been confirmed by Jenner but his changing appearance alone was enough to make headlines. While his behavior seems newsworthy to the mainstream, for millions of people worldwide the idea of changing your gender is perfectly normal.
Dr. Jack Drescher, a New York City-based psychiatrist with extensive experience in the field of gender, talked to FoxNews.com about a condition that affects less than one percent of Americans, transsexualism.
[It] is a purely medical description of a person who undergoes some medical or surgical treatment to change them from the gender they were born into the gender they wish to be, Drescher said.
Transsexualism is a form of gender dysphoria, a diagnosis that can start to surface as early as the age of two and Drescher noted that parents dont have to look very hard to find it.
Children with gender dysphoria make it very apparent that they wish to stray away from gender norms like playing with certain toys or wearing clothes that are traditionally meant for the sex they were born with. They also tend to experience a range of social issues.
They may refuse to go to school, refuse to socialize with other children, Drescher said.
He added that while parents may be concerned with these gender-straying behaviors, many kids grow out of this phase. Studies show that these children tend to identify as homosexual later in life, though some do identify as transsexual.
When approaching puberty, some children who are gender dysphoric and are potentially transsexual may start to panic.
If they are born a boy, they dont want the growth spurt, the Adams apple, the beard growing, says Dr. Drescher.
The onset of puberty can be so distressing that some children may become suicidal. The protocol for this behavior is for a child to undergo puberty suppression; a process where they are given hormones to delay the signs of adulthood. According to Drescher, this gives a gender dysphoric child time to accept the changes that their body will naturally go through.

Psychiatrist sheds light on transsexualism

A New Zealand dairy industry leader has suggested it may be time for increased food security in the dairying shed following the recent threat to poison infant milk powder.
It might be time for farmers to adopt a "food defence" mentality with tougher on-farm security, especially round the milking shed, says dairy leader Andrew Hoggard.
The Federated Farmers dairy chairman said while the work of a "nut job", the threat to lace infant milk powder with 1080 toxin revealed by police last week suggested New Zealand's strong food safety focus may at farmer level have to shift to food defence.
"New Zealand's done bloody well on food safety. We have a great reputation on food safety but we may have to think outside the box. I'd hate to think it meant totally locking down farms but what might come out of this is a focus on security of dairy sheds.
"And I've got to say the weak point in security is the dairy shed."
Hoggard said he had recently installed internet cameras in his milking shed.
He could watch the shed "from anywhere in the world" in real time. His system included monitor sensor alarms.
It had required a bit of technical nous to install but the basic system only cost him $100 from Trade Me, he said.
He had installed it to counter theft and monitor "weird vehicles" he saw from time to time on his property. He intended to add more cameras.

THE RATIONAL ARGUMENTATOR Review of Robert Wilfred Franson's The Shadow of the Ship
The Shadow of the Shipby Robert Wilfred Franson is a science-fiction novel set in a universe with a unique premise for methods of interstellar travel. A novel with strong individualist and life-extensionist themes, this book has much to recommend itself to libertarians and transhumanists alike. The Second Edition ofThe Shadow of the Shipwas released in Kindle format in December 2014, after Franson regained the rights to the work from the publisher of the 1983 First Edition. The Second Edition contains major enhancements, including more extensive character development, explanation of key aspects of the world within which the novel takes place, and an ending that clearly sets the stage for additional books in what is to be Fransons Overflight series.
Space travel inThe Shadow of the Shipis accessible to a society that is otherwise technologically far behind our own. The Trails Culture is dispersed among tens of worlds but lacks access even to most twentieth-century technology, such as powered flight or electricity. A series of trails across the meadow of subspace connects planets and can be traversed by caravans conveyed by waybeasts (squeakers) who are uniquely suited to crossing them. The books protagonist, Hendrikal Eiverdein Rheinallt, is originally from Earth and has been stranded within the region inhabited by the Trails Culture ever since his spaceship crashed on a nearby world. He and his friend Arahant, an intelligent aircat with the ability to speak and compose operas, are bloodswayers practitioners of a rare and challenging discipline that allows the channeling of the bodys energies toward repair and rejuvenation. Rheinallt and Arahant are therefore indefinitely lived and more resilient than ordinary humans, though not indestructible. Rheinallt is approximately six centuries old and endeavors to use his vast scientific knowledge to eventually find his way back to Earth. In the meantime, he carefully advances the scientific and technical knowledge of the inhabitants of the Blue Free Nation, the most tolerant and least regimented of the societies within the Trails Culture.
The books events take place aboard a caravan headed by Rheinallt with the purpose of investigating rumors of a crashed starship along the Blue Trail. The starship would be a paradigm-changing find for the people of the Trails Culture, as it would permit space travel without the limitations that the Trails pose; it could also be Rheinallts means to return home. The caravan includes many travelers who join out of scientific curiosity or a desire for fame, while others have more personal motives. Accompanying Rheinallt is his wife and beast-master Whitnadys, as well as a small contingent of crew to defend the caravan and provide essential logistical support. Although Rheinallt is the captain of the caravan, interactions aboard are largely guided by a spontaneous order without explicit laws and with virtually no authority for the captain to impose preemptive restrictions or discipline. Rheinallt, apart from making sure that the caravan is properly organized and maintained, only has the same prerogatives as ordinary passengers such as the right of self-defense and the ability to protect the caravan against threats that have already manifested themselves. He considers the circumstances carefully and is reluctant to resort to force unless the existence of a physical threat is incontrovertible, as he does not wish for the passengers to lose trust in his leadership or the legitimacy of his decisions.
The more positive examples of protagonists with unlimited lifespans arise in fiction, the greater will be the cultural acceptance of the ideas eventual application to our world. For this reason and many others, readers should eagerly anticipate the continuation of Fransons Overflight series.
Apart from the mostly anarchistic order aboard the caravan a reflection of the broader lack of centralized authority within the Blue Free Nation there are competing visions presented in the book, including an attempt by the Federated Trailmen, the areas guild of caravaneers, to bring subspace travel within their sphere of control, as well as the efforts by the government of Fleurage a world on the Yellow Trail to clamp down on political dissent and quash subversive innovators who threaten an establishment rapidly spiraling toward totalitarianism. Various passengers on the caravan represent these conflicting visions, which come to challenge Rheinallts ability to peacefully coordinate the expedition.
As much of the novel centers around the mystery of the ship and the stories of the passengers aboard, I will not delve into too much detail regarding events that are crucial to the storys suspense and surprise. I note, however, that the Second Edition contains significant additions, including thorough expositions of the main characters backgrounds and key aspects of Fransons universe such as subspace travel, the bloodswayer discipline, and the cultural and technological environment of the Trails Culture. The newly added content allows for foreshadowing of important discoveries and a more definitive elaboration on the threads of the story that would be continued in subsequent novels of the series. Furthermore, the revised ending is quite moving and immerses the reader more deeply into the novels characters.
Indeed, the characters of Rheinallt and Arahant should be of interest to all supporters of indefinite life extension, as here we have fine examples of literary protagonists who do not senesce and are not condemned to an inevitable demise and who are also intelligent, rational, benevolent, witty, creative, and resourceful. Their range of abilities and vulnerabilities is much closer to what actual indefinitely lived organisms would experience: they can still suffer from accidents and external physical harm, but they lack a built-in expiration. Therefore, their interactions in the environment of subspace are still fraught with peril, but they have sufficient abilities and strengths to give them a fighting chance much like the fighting chance we humans will need when faced with the many phenomena in the universe that are far bigger than ourselves. The more positive examples of protagonists with unlimited lifespans arise in fiction, the greater will be the cultural acceptance of the ideas eventual application to our world. For this reason and many others, readers should eagerly anticipate the continuation of Fransons Overflight series, which will finally bring the universe and ideas ofThe Shadow of the Shipinto renewed prominence after more than three decades.
