'Ancient scourge' no more? Bed bugs thwarted by bean leaves in study

Bed bugs have re-emerged as an urban blight in the past several years, forcing people out of homes, resisting chemical pesticides and evading other removal tactics. But researchers are building bug-catchers inspired by an age-old folk remedy to this “ancient scourge”: kidney bean leaves. Their experiments, described in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, tested the home-grown solution and even made synthetic leaves that could help scientists devise an easy, environmentally friendly method of trapping bugs before they establish a full invasion. Bean leaves have historically been used in Eastern Europe as low-tech bug traps: bed bugs wandering a floor strewn with the ...

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) has refused through a spokesperson to endorse one town’s first-ever integrated high school prom, saying that he would rather not take sides on the issue. According to Atlanta’s WMAZ Channel 13, politicians from both parties have stated their support for black and white students from Wilcox, Georgia, but Deal declined to join them. Raw Story spoke to activist Bryan Long of the progressive group Better Georgia, whose group has asked Georgia elected officials “to publicly support the students of Wilcox County who are fighting to end a ‘separate-but-equal’ high school prom.” “We thought it would be nice if our elected officials ...

A new report shines a light on a harrowing “debtors’ prison” system in Ohio — one that violates both the United States’ and the Ohio constitution. April 6, 2013 | The Americans Civil Liberties Union on Friday revealed that courts in Ohio are illegally throwing poor people in jail for being unable to pay off a debt. In a report titled, “ The Outskirts of Hope,” (PDF) the ACLU shines a light on a harrowing “debtors’ prison” system in Ohio — one that violates both the United States’ and the Ohio constitution. Ohioans are being jailed for “as small as a few hundred dollars,” despite the constitutional violation, and ...

A man shot dead another man at a day care center in Quebec then killed himself, and the 53 children present were evacuated unharmed. Police said some may have watched the killings. For a moment, Canada feared its own version of last year's deadly school shooting in the U.S., where 20 young children were killed. Police on Friday received a call about an armed man with a shotgun threatening people, Gatineau Police Chief Mario Harel said. They arrived to find one man dead with a shotgun beside him and a second man, an unidentified employee of the day care, also dead. Harel said the shooting seemed to be related to a recent separation between a couple but didn't elaborate. The ...
Fags attack those who find it sick to use 4 year old daughter to support fag marriage

Conservatives are outraged by an MSNBC host who talked with her daughter in an online segment about whether it's OK if gays and lesbians marry the people they love. Krystal Ball is co-host of MSNBC's The Cycle, and the conversation with her daughter stuck to the basics of who is legally allowed to marry who in their home state of New York. It could be similar to how parents in that state have explained life in New York state. Glenn Beck's website, The Blaze, labeled the moment "Cringe-Inducing." The headline on conservative blog, "Liberty Unyielding," claimed, "MSNBC’s Krystal Ball exploits own 5-year-old daughter on TV to promote gay ...

Cold weather has once again pushed back the peak bloom date for the hundreds of cherry blossom trees around the DC Tidal Basin. The peak bloom prediction for the Tidal Basin cherry blossom trees has been updated for a second time by the National Park Service. Now the 2013 cherry blossom peak bloom is expected April 6-8. NPS initially estimated that a peak bloom would arrive March 26-30 and then changed that prediction to April 3 through 6 after a bout of cold weather in March. April 3 has come and gone and NPS has again shifted its prediction. "Exactly when the buds will open is not easy to predict and it is extremely difficult to give an accurate forecast much more than 10 days ...

While US President Barack Obama and the Western media lied in concert to the world regarding America's role in supporting terrorists operating in Syria, it is now revealed that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been shipping weapons to Syria via NATO-member Turkey and Jordan since at least early 2012. The New York Times in their article titled, "Arms Airlift to Syria Rebels Expands, With C.I.A. Aid," admits that: With help from the C.I.A., Arab governments and Turkey have sharply increased their military aid to Syria’s opposition fighters in recent months, expanding a secret airlift of arms and equipment for the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, ...
Rand Paul: Cut Jail Sentences for Nonviolent Drug Offenders

Sen. Rand Paul has joined with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy in introducing a bill that would allow judges to skirt mandatory minimum jail sentences for nonviolent drug crimes, according to The Washington Post. Civil rights groups say the sentences are often too strict and don't fit most drug-related crimes, a view that Paul apparently agrees with. “I don’t want to encourage people to do [drugs]. I think even marijuana’s a bad thing to do,” the Kentucky Republican said Sunday on Fox News. “But I also don’t want to put people in jail who make a mistake. There are a lot of young people who do this and then later on in their 20s they ...
Gun store rescinds Mark Kelly's rifle purchase, questions his 'intent'

A Tucson gun store owner has decided to rescind the sale of a military-style rifle to Mark Kelly, the husband of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, after Kelly said he had intended the purchase to make a political point about how easy it is to obtain the kind of firearms he's lobbying Congress to ban. Kelly's March 5 purchase of an AR-15-style rifle and a 45.-caliber handgun at Diamondback Police Supply sparked a frenzy of reaction from both sides of the debate after he posted to Facebook a photo of himself shopping. A background check took only a matter of minutes to complete, Kelly said in the Facebook post, adding that it's scary to think people can buy similar guns ...

By outward appearances, Stockton, a city of nearly 300,000 on the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, seemed in the mid-2000s to be emerging from decades of struggle. Next to its gleaming downtown waterfront -- a window to the West's largest fresh-water estuary -- a beautiful new $46 million glass hockey arena rose in 2005. That same year, an Oakland A's minor league baseball team began play in a new taxpayer-financed stadium, amenities sought by elected officials catering to a wave of new residents fleeing Bay Area congestion and soaring home prices. High salaries and lucrative benefits were supposed to attract and retain the brightest city workforce to improve the quality of ...

Consider: You are born with X You BELIEVE nature made a mistake and you should have gotten Y at the shop. You go to a Doctor/surgeon to get modified from original equipment based on pure BELIEF and WANT. This is “Good”. Conversely” You are born hetrosexual. No science proves otherwise. You BELIEVE/are propagandised/whatever into liking people with the same factory parts. This is “Good” But when: You decide that the risk of AIDS/guilt/shame/a change of heart for WHATEVER REASON occurs and you decide that you really are not what you BELIEVED/WANTED AT ONE TIME...

CPAC participant Scott Terry NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland — A panel at the Conservative Political Action Committee on Republican minority outreach exploded into controversy on Friday afternoon, after an audience member defended slavery as good for African-Americans. The exchange occurred after an audience member from North Carolina, 30-year-old Scott Terry, asked whether Republicans could endorse races remaining separate but equal. After the presenter, K. Carl Smith of Frederick Douglass Republicans, answered by referencing a letter by Frederick Douglass forgiving his former master, the audience member said “For what? For feeding him and housing him?” Several people in the ...

"As Rob Portman demonstrated Friday, coming out in support of gay marriage, it's one thing when it's other people's kids. Other people did not raise them correctly. Other people did not play Mozart to them in the womb and force educational puzzles on them. Other people gave them too much sugar at mealtimes and did not teach them the Golden Rule. If your son makes noise on an airplane, it is because his ears are having difficulty adjusting to the altitude. If other people's children make noise on airplanes, it is because they are tiny menaces who should be shut down at any cost. If other people's children want to get married to their significant others and have the ...

Barack Obama and Bill Clinton might have to both get used to the idea of being called the “First Husband.” The Washington Examiner reported that buzz is growing for current and former first ladies Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton to unite and form a 2016 Presidential dream ticket. "All due respect for President Obama and Vice President Biden, but that would truly be a dream team for America," former Clinton spokeswoman Karen Finney told the Washington Examiner. "Both women are proven effective leaders who've raised children, so dealing with Congress would be a snap!" Although neither party has publicly acknowledged the possibility of the dream ticket, ...

Nearly two years ago, Tia Norfleet told Sporting News that she was working toward becoming the first female African-American driver in NASCAR and hoping to pave the way for other African-American drivers to enter the sport. Since then, she’s been promoting herself as an accomplished driver working her way through the NASCAR ranks and claims that she plans to race in the NASCAR Nationwide Series this year. But, according to a report in The New York Times, much of what Norfleet has been promoting is not true. According to a March 6 story in The New York Times, Norfleet is not licensed to compete in NASCAR and has drawn the ire of NASCAR officials for the way she has been promoting ...
