A species of beetle never before seen in North America has been discovered in a Massachusetts forest, but the Asian insect does not appear to pose an ecological threat, experts said Monday.
Twenty-two beetles belonging to the Xyleborus seriatus species of ambrosia beetle were found in April in traps set by state forestry workers in Southborough, about 25 miles west of Boston. Two or three more were trapped in nearby Stow.
The insects were sent to Cornell University to be studied.
They may have "hitchhiked" to the United States on wooden crates shipped from Asia, Cornell entomologist Richard Hoebeke said.
"My guess is that it has been around awhile and simply gone undetected because nobody was looking for it," said Hoebeke, who announced the finding in an e-mail to colleagues on July 20.
Each year, a dozen species of insects on average are discovered for the first time in the U.S., he said.
Some insects, such as the hemlock wooly adelgid, emerald ash borer and Asian longhorn beetle, can wreak havoc on wildlife habitat. However, most ambrosia beetles feed on fungi in dead or dying trees, not healthy ones.
"So far, it's not a cause for concern," said Glenn Rosenholm, regional spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service.
The new beetle is about two millimeters long and has brown legs and wings. Scientists are thinking about naming it the "Southborough beetle."

Without doubt, the Signature 13 is the best looking shoulder bag Think Tank has ever designed. And as you'd expect, it's as functional as it is handsome.
Significant Features
The soft shell feels like a fine woolen suit, but it's actually an advanced technology fabric that's both durable and weather resistant. The dual top flap system consists of a nylon lined zipped cover that can be closed in bad weather or for security reasons, and a fold over messenger flap that is latched with dual metal buckets.
The expandable front pocket is closed by a leather strap with a metal snap button that also contains a zipped pocket inside of it.
Inside the main compartment are two sleeves, one for a 13" laptop, and another behind it for a tablet, notepad, or book. The camera compartment is completely lined and includes fabric-covered dividers that can be configured in a variety of styles.
On the back of the bag is another zippered pocket and a trolly sleeve. The leather bottom protects the contents, and the bag, when set on a damp surface. The wide strap features a neoprene pad with leather trim and metal hardware.
Other niceties include leather top handle, dedicated smartphone pocket, detachable fitted rain cover, and a button to secure the inner top flap to the main flap to keep it out of the way when not in use.
Who is the Signature 13 for?
The Signature 13 is an ideal everyday work bag for mobile photographers who need their office and camera gear in a stylish carrying solution that's as comfortable in a business meeting and it is next to you in an Uber Black.
Personally, I wouldn't choose this bag for a day of street photography, opting instead for the Retrospective 7 or similar shoulder bag. But as an everyday bag that's both compact, yet holds plenty of gear, the Signature 13 is top shelf.
Currently, I have a MacBook Pro 13", iPad mini, Pentax KP DSLR with Pentax 20-40mm HD zoom, Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II with Panasonic 20mm f/1.7, Pentax ZX-5n with Pentax-F 35-70mm zoom, extra lenses, and plenty of accessories. All of this was in the bag when I photographed it for this review. So you can see that it can accommodate plenty of gear, and still maintain its svelte lines.
Final Thoughts
I like the way this bag sits squarely on the table without listing forward or backward. The dual top flap system provides exceptional protection and looks great doing so. The adjustable strap is very comfortable, and the top handle feels great when you need to grab the Signature 13 out of the trunk or from an overhead compartment. And I know that I've mentioned this a few times now, but this shoulder bag is very easy on the eyes.
The Signature 13 is my companion to work, meetings, Starbucks, and on the road. Personally, I like the buckles and snap buttons instead velcro. If you have similar tastes, you'll most likely love this bag.
The Signature 13 is available now for $279.

Your Basic Guide to LED Panel Lights
LED Panel Lights are designed specifically to develop an alternative to conventional fluorescent light. They prove to be longer lasting, more efficient, and much brighter which makes them the best choice for indoor lighting. The LED technology has taken over the lighting industry by storm and has been standing at the top position for quite a while now. But LED Panel lights are new to the market and are sleek, innovative and improvised for ultimate convenience.
Especially Crafted Designs
LED Panel lights are designed specifically to allow better and improvised luminosity and illuminated conditions. LED Panel lights are designed usually of a lightweight aluminium frame, which consists of three layers. The frame is one of the most basic constituents of an LED Panel light and benefit the lights to save themselves from any light leakage. The three layers include the LED chips, a diffuser and a light guide plater. The diffuser is usually located at the very front of the light guide plate; and functions to distribute the light evenly across the given space.
There also exists a light reflector at the very back of the LED guide plate, this is an important element of solid backing, which adds to the lighting fixture's strength and overall look. What's more, the LED Panel lights are equipped with a heat sink system, offering you safety and security!
High Quality of Light
Now, for high quality of LED, you need the LED guide plate to be of an optical material designed specifically to offer bright lighting in connection to electric current. The guide plate and diffuser work collectively to create and distribute light evenly across the surface, as well as produce soft results instead of glare and sharp brightness. Because of the quality of materials used, LED Light panels produce high quality of light without any flickering, humming or any sort of interference.
Good Materials and Light Colour
Aluminium is the most ideal material for LED panel frames, as well as for the back cover of the panel lights. The LEDs themselves are made of collective use of gallium, arsenal and aluminium which are mixed with impurities to create free electrons; that enhance the semiconductor materials' conductivity. The impurities determine the colour of the light produces, without using any filters.
Energy Efficient
LED lighting uses a lot less energy than traditional lighting devices such as fluorescent bulbs. The power consumption of an LED bulb ranges around 6 watts, which is twice the amount of power traditional bulbs produce and that too by utilizing only a fraction of energy in comparison.
Variety of LED Panels
The LED Panel Lights can be categorized into four types; recessed, mounted, build-in, suspended. LED panel lights can be mounted on walls, hanged on the roof, suspended from the ceiling etc. These are used creatively in all places including homes, offices, schools, libraries, restaurants etc. The choice of the type of LED panel light you require would always depend on the space you want the lights for.

As images of President Donald Trump leaning in to receive a glittering gift from King Salman bin Abdulaziz made the rounds this weekend, a longtime personal confidante of the President felt sick.
"Candidly this makes me want to puke," Roger Stone tweeted on Saturday, a picture of Trump being awarded a mark of the kingdom's highest civilian honor above his words. Appended there: #Jaredsidea – a reference to the President's son-in-law and top White House aide Jared Kushner.
If Kushner is the young, buttoned-down and stiff-lipped operator in Trump's inner orbit, then Stone is the bullish and flamboyant right-wing gadfly, always a phone call away from Trump or anyone else who wants to talk, and a résumé that dates back to the Nixon years.
Stone's CV was compelling enough to inspire a recently released Netflix documentary, "Get Me Roger Stone," chronicling his life in national politics – one that began as a young dirty trickster for Nixon, endured a scandalous setback in the mid 1990s and reemerged in the last two decades as, among other things, a voice directing Trump toward the presidential trough.
"I was like a jockey looking for a horse," Stone says in the film. "You can't win the race if you don't have a horse. (Trump's) a prime piece of political horse flesh in my view."
But Stone's ride ended early. He was fired by the campaign in August 2015, relegated – or so it seemed – to the that vast swirling orbit of off-the-books Trump whisperers. But his influence remained apparent through the primaries and into the general election contest with Hillary Clinton. When Trump decided to fire FBI Director James Comey in early May, he did it with a push from Stone.
The 2016 campaign was a microcosm of Stone's political life. Never quite a key figure, he popped up repeatedly, often in the most sordid circumstances. His closest real connection to Nixon, whose pugnacious spirit he's spent decades publicly venerating, is a tattoo of the man's face, etched famously now onto Stone's back.
He repeatedly boasted of or alluded to some kind of knowledge or relationship with WikiLeaks. For his trouble, Stone is now frequently cited as a potential connection between the Trump camp and individuals or groups responsible for hacking the DNC and Clinton campaign email.
Still, there's reason to doubt his influence. Trump himself, in a New Yorker profile written by CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, called Stone a "stone-cold loser."
"He always tries taking credit for things he never did," the future president said.
Whether Stone has a personal connection to, or possessed any forward knowledge of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 campaign remains to be seen. In March, he downplayed contacts with "Guccifer 2.0," an online personality who has claimed responsibility for the DNC hack, denying any potential collusion.
Days later, Stone was again in his natural habitat – the headlines – after he volunteered to speak with the House Intelligence Committee investigating Trump and Russia about his role as a campaign associate.
"I acknowledge I am a hardball player. I have sharp elbows. I always play politics the way it is supposed to be played," Stone told CNN in typically theatrical tones. "But one thing isn't in my bag of tricks – treason."

Join us in this video to Explore Sat. Aug 11's Solar Eclipse in addition to:
- the Balsamic Moon and dead energy time of the month – don't launch products/services now!!
- Mercury Retrograde travel and tech challenges
- Mars Retrograde – What the hell do I REALLY want anyway
Eclipse and Retrograde Navigation Consultations BELOW!
Before August 21's massive, highly anticipated Total Solar Eclipse at the last degree of Leo, visible throughout much of the U.S., we confront our next Lunar Eclipse and Mercury Retrograde cycles of initiation + the glory of the annual Perseid Meteor Showers.
August 7th's Aquarius 15 degree Lunar Eclipse can be just as or more intense than the Solar Eclipse, especially because of the emotional fluctuations often present in the weeks before and after a Lunar Eclipse. It all depends on your chart: Those with planets between 10-20 degrees of Fixed signs Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius will most deeply experience the fruitful completions, surrendered resolutions, or necessary dissolu
tions of this Super Full Moon energy, with a focus on one's freedom and authentic sense of self-expression.
With Mars opposite this Full Moon, irritable reactivity could bring supressed rage to the surface, through the trine from Jupiter may help inspire expanded perspective and help focus Mars' intensity into a catalyzed role of leadership. Also peaking at this Lunar Eclipse is a question of our active creative contribution to humanitarian purposes and a tribe communally shifting the collective paradigm.
My new life on the road as a Digital Nomad and the conferences with other nomads this September in Portugal and Spain is one example of a global shift towards location independent work and a collaborative world community of those who seek more freedom, autonomy, and passion for living life to its fullest. Where is your evolutionary threshold and how do you gently push other's over their edge during this revolutionary Lunar Eclipse? Expect August to be a month of intense global action including fiery protest movements and rebellious surges for equal rights.
On August 12, Mercury once again turns Retrograde, in the sign of Virgo at 12 degrees. He will backtrack through the final degrees of Leo, where he turns direct again on September 5th. Virgo Mercury Retrograde emphasizes our ability to manage our time, energy, and resources more efficiently and analytically. We will likely become more acutely aware of what is not working in our daily/weekly routines and seek to implement new regimens of greater productivity through better systems. We can reflect on the best ways to utilize energy and time in service, health, and the simple but profound disciplines of daily devotion.
We are already in Mercury's shadow period and thus, some of us with many planets in Virgo/Gemini, may already feel this Retrograde's technology, communications, and travel challenges causing havoc in our lives. Be sure to back up important documents, avoid signing major contracts, and manage the above hassle areas with graceful acceptance.
Lastly, just as Mercury turns backwards, the annual Perseid Meteor Showers, the brightest starshow in the sky, peak on the 12th and 13th so find a location far away from the city pollution, and bask in the psychedelic stellar calligraphy of 80-100 dancing comets per hour.
Eclipse Season begins to boil over this weekend with the masculine throb and pulse of Air and Fire signs everywhere. The Eclipses, always two weeks apart from each other, act as super catalyzing New And Full Moons, causing directional shapeshifts in our relationships, career, creativity, and home environment. Friday the 10th is the Lunar Eclipse at 22 deg. of Leo, sparking this very suggestive sabian symbol: A bareback rider in a circus displays her dangerous skill.
The shadow of this Leo Eclipse looms in the arrogant, egoic, "mad king," me-first energy. We don't have to look too far to see how we've projected this dark god into our current American "leadership." (Yes, he's a Mars in Leo, and Leo Rising). The test now is to let go of our judgements, and invoke our own charismatic leader – if you were in your sexiest, solar brilliance, your most magnetic and innovative creator, serving your community, how would you step into the Full Moon spotlight with this Lunar Eclipse? Don't wait—do it this weekend.
This commandment also erupts from the "warrior lovers" Mars and Venus, as they conjoin to strip down into naked, wild, raw Aries passion. YUMMM. But if all the world's a sexy stage, then we must beware the feisty Aries combustion and rage if not given the freedom to follow its animal instincts. Can we follow our inner solopreneurial mission and our deepest desires without succumbing to reactive separation and unnecessary antagonism?
Here's a free video preview from my course on Love and Sex Archetypes all about the Aries God and Goddess.
Also, amped by messenger Mercury's circus flight into wild Aquarius the rest of February, the Jupiter in Libra to Sun in Aquarius air trine inspires tribal kin-nection, facilitating expansion of our creative purpose within our communities. This energy is about saying YES to the opportunities unveiling Now: collaborate, teach, grow with the assistance and reflection of those you party, play, and learn with.
Remember the sabian symbol for this Leo Full Moon: A bareback rider in a circus displays her dangerous skill.
Are you ready to risk it all?
We are ready to bask in awe at your daredevil glow
Celebrate your roar.
We are ready to dance in its echo.
How will your career, love, and home environment be affected this year?
How best to prepare?

I "borrowed" this meme from MaryP, who posted it on a Monday after she found it here on a Sunday, which makes her my partner in meme-thievery and inspiration for doing it on a different day of the week. Feel free to take it yourself!
If I looked on the bed next to you, what would I find?
My husband, most likely; a book, possibly; the dog, probably
Do you go to the bathroom with the door open or closed?
Closed but not locked
Are your underwear and socks folded in your drawer or just thrown in?
I take them all out and re-fold them every few weeks, but they get messed up pretty quickly. I may re-think how I store them after we move, since we'll be re-arranging a lot of things then anyway.
Sleep on your back or stomach?
Neither – I'm a side sleeper
Are you a cuddler?
What would I find if I looked UNDER your bed?
A zippered clothing storage bag for out-of-season clothes, a few boxes, a shelf frame – and maybe a few other things I can't remember. I'll find out when we take the bed apart to move it, I guess!
Something that happened today that made you angry?
A phone caller who suggested that I don't know how to organize my department. She was transferred to me because the person who could help her was out sick, and when I couldn't answer her question, she expressed the opinion that it was poor organization not to have a backup. I apologized for inconveniencing her by not being able to provide her with an immediate answer. Part of why it got to me is that I think she's not all wrong about the backup – and we do cross-train, but not for every single little job function – but her getting pissy made me pissy in return.
What were you doing before this survey?
Writing another post – that is, slacking off work.
What will you do after the survey?
Paste it into my blog template, and then see what I can wrap up before I leave the office today.
Marriage or living together?
Marriage twice (but NOT a third time!) – but I lived with husband #2 for exactly a year before we got married, and it was good
What shirt are you wearing now?
Beige stretch-cotton Lands' End T-shirt under a lightweight ruffled tan jacket from Coldwater Creek (yes, sometimes I dress older than I am – sad, really, considering that I'm in my mid-40's)
Do you sing?
Yes. Love it. Most of the time I'm on key, too…
Do you de-label your beer bottles?
No, because I don't drink beer
Do you talk about your feelings or hide them?
I'm still more comfortable writing about them than talking about them, but people who know me pretty well can usually get me talking fairly easily.
Is there something you regret and wish you could take back?
If there were just ONE thing, I'd be doing very well. There are plenty, but I really try not to dwell on them.
First thing you do when you wake up?
Turn off the alarm, sit up, and stretch.
Ever had surgery?
Yes, once, but I got a baby out of it!
Last argument you got into?
With the phone caller I mentioned earlier…
Do you tend to rip the paper off water bottles?
What's one good thing about your best friend?
Being able to laugh at the same things
How long does it take for you to fall asleep at night?
I'll read till my eyes start closing – on some nights, that takes ten minutes or less. Then I turn off the light, curl up next to my husband, and I'm usually out within a few minutes after that.
When you shut off your alarm clock, do you tend to fall back asleep?
No, I get right up and out of bed. I HAVE to.
If you were given the chance to take care of a monkey for a weekend, would you?
If I still worked at the zoo, maybe, but I would NOT do it for free!
What are you looking forward to in the next few months?
Getting moved and settled into our new place!
It's midnight. Who are you texting?
No one I know would be awake at midnight – and even for my East Coast friends, it would only be 3 AM.
It's Wednesday afternoon, where are you usually?
At my desk, just like Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday – until 4:30, and then I'm in the car, heading home.
Honestly, if you could have ANYONE in the world, who would it be?
I guess I'd better say Tall Paul, right :-)? But it's true!
Your Christmas list consists of?
Ask me in a few more weeks – I really haven't thought much about it yet. The Season 2 DVD of 30 Rock will be on it if I don't buy it before then, though…
You're going to New York for shopping, where do you go first?
Macy's in Herald Square, of course!
You need a new pair of jeans, what store do you go to first?
Kohl's. They have those Lee Custom Fit ones that I like best.
How do you feel about your hair?
Depends on how cooperative it's being. Today I like it.
What movie is in your DVD player?
It's either empty, or it still has Disc 4 (or 5?), Season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in there.
If you could move away, no questions asked, where would you move?
Maybe the Pacific Northwest. Someplace pretty, temperate, not too crowded, and less expensive…
What's the greatest thing that happened to you today?
It was kind of a blah day, to be honest – nothing outstanding happened, good or bad.
What would you change about your life right now?
I'd have enough financial security that both my husband and I could do the creative things we'd rather be doing.
What's the best feeling in the world?
Relaxing after a job well done!

Being Dean Kamen
by Richard T. Stuebi
For a long time, I hadn't heard much about Dean Kamen. He was last in the news, a lot, in 2001 when he unveiled the Segway.
You probably remember the Segway. Kamen was quoted in an article in Time upon the Segway's release that it "will be to the car what the car was to the horse-and-buggy." No less a force than Kleiner Perkins bought into the hype, making Segway one of its portfolio companies. The Segway hardly revolutionized transportation, and Kamen faded from view (at least from my view) for quite awhile. But, as recent reportage shows, Kamen clearly continues to think big, and is becoming increasingly visible again.
Kamen's company DEKA Research and Development is now reported to be working on a car called the Revolt, a Think car modified to employ a hybrid-electric vehicle with a Stirling (in lieu of internal combustion) engine that can theoretically be powered by virtually anything that burns.
Meanwhile, Kamen is reported to be hosting visitors to North Dumpling Island, an island he owns off the coast of Connecticut, which he is turning into a showcase of how it's possible to create a self-sufficient, zero-carbon economy.
Kamen must have tremendous self-confidence, to rebound from what surely must have been painfully discouraging — maybe even humiliating — in the Segway's failure to achieve its claims, to now sticking his neck out yet again in such exposed ways.
If we are to make real progress on our energy and environmental challenges, especially in a world whose economies are in disarray, we will need courage — some might even say recklessness — from many bold thinkers and doers to overcome long odds and formidable obstacles.
So today, I offer a tip of the hat to Mr. Kamen. I admire his strength of vision. I don't know that I'd necessarily invest my ever-dwindling personal capital in his ventures, but I hope for his sake and for the planet's that he's onto something more substantial this time than he was with the Segway seven years ago.

Flames sign forward Mikael Backlund to one-year contract worth $725,000
CALGARY - The Calgary Flames announced Thursday that they have signed forward Mikael Backlund to a one-year contract worth US$725,000.
Backlund had four goals and seven assists in 41 games for Calgary last season. He has 15 goals and 31 assists in 138 career games with the Flames.
The native of Vasteras, Sweden, was the Flames' first round pick (24th overall) in the 2007 NHL draft.
"Mikael has an opportunity to step up and attempt to secure a top two-line centre position with our club," Flames general manager Jay Feaster said in a statement. "He is a very talented player who skates well, has excellent vision and possesses a strong skill set."

When purchasing a trailer in Minnesota stay within recommended capacity guidelines. When determining capacity, remember to include the weight of fuel and accessories in addition to the weight of the craft.
Trailers come with closed or open frames. Closed frames help protect the wiring, but problems can be more difficult to locate and repair. Open frames leave the wiring exposed, but make it easier to spot and repair potential problems. Open frames also drain water more easily and efficiently, so keep in mind that when you drop that trailer into a lake or elsewhere.
Consider the method of personal watercraft (PWC) support, the frame strength and construction, whether lights and wiring are approved for marine use, whether rollers and bunks are properly positioned and attached to the main frame for proper suspension, and the durability of the finish. (Powder-coated or galvanized finishes are more durable than baked-on enamel.)
Good quality tie-downs with the appropriate hooks to attach to your trailer are a good investment.
