Bahrain opposition: Protester killed in clashes
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) ? A Bahrain opposition party and authorities say a 17-year-old has been killed in clashes with security forces.
The death could bring fresh protests by Shiite-led groups seeking a greater political voice in the Sunni-ruled Gulf kingdom.
More than 50 people have died, including protesters and police, in almost 20 months of near-nonstop unrest in the strategic island nation, which is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
Saturday's statement from the political bloc Al Wefaq say security forces killed the boy the previous day during street clashes in Sadad village, southwest of the capital Manama, without providing details.
Bahrain's Interior Ministry confirmed one person was killed in what it described as a "terror act" that included firebombs hurled at police.

Jackson's absence testing patience in Chicago
CHICAGO (AP) ? His home in Washington is for sale. His wife says he'll come back to work only when a doctor approves. He vowed to return to the campaign by Labor Day, a deadline that came ... and went.
Election Day is five weeks away, and Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. remains out of sight.
It's an absence, both from his job in Congress and his campaign, that's starting to test patience in his Chicago hometown.
More than three months have passed since Jackson disappeared, initially a mystery that was later revealed to be a hospitalization for severe depression and gastrointestinal problems. There have been few updates on his condition and no hard answers to questions about his future.
All that aides will say is that Jackson's name is still on the ballot, even though he's yet to make a campaign appearance since last spring's primary. His wife, Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson, has tried to say nothing at all. When pressed, she insists she won't step in to take his place.
"You ask anyone in this district, which one of them could take 90 days off of work?" said Jackson opponent Brian Woodworth, a college professor and Republican running what remains a longshot campaign in a mostly South Side district that is heavily Democratic.
"Voters should be paying attention to this," Woodworth said. "For the last three months, almost four, he's ignored them. He's hidden from the press. He's ignored the people. He's neglected his job."
The criticism isn't only coming from the GOP. Editorial writers who urged patience weeks ago now are urging Jackson to explain his intentions. In his district, constituents who have expressed a range of reactions to his absence are growing more anxious to hear from him.
Jacques Whatley, a 39-year-old mother, said she's voted for Jackson in the past but her views have turned as weeks have gone by without any word from the congressman.
"When there are situations like this, we need to know," Whatley said. "If he has some medical issues, then he should step down. If you're in a situation where you're not healthy, then you need time off."
Jackson is recovering at the same time as Sen. Mark Kirk, who suffered a stroke earlier this year. Kirk has also not appeared in public, but the Republican is not up for re-election and has released a series of videos that show him slowly learning to walk again and talking about government issues, at times in a halting voice.
The 47-year-old Jackson returned to his Washington home this month after leaving the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. He started a medical leave June 10, but his staff only announced it publicly two weeks later and didn't initially reveal where he was or the illness from which he was suffering.
The son of a civil rights icon, Jackson was expected to breeze to re-election after easily defeating a primary opponent in a district that now extends from south Chicago into portions of two rural counties. In recent days, when asked about the general election, Jackson's office has only said that he remains on the ballot.
"He's still at home under a doctor's care," said spokesman Frank Watkins.
Publicly, most Illinois Democrats have kept quiet about Jackson's situation. Sen. Dick Durbin and Rep. Luis Gutierrez were among those who pushed Jackson to disclose his condition promptly. The influential Jackson family has long and complicated ties in the party, and it's unclear whether he is being pressured by party leaders to step aside.
Jackson's father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, has declined to speak in detail. The congressman's wife has mostly dodged reporters at City Council meetings and a recent birthday party and fundraiser.
Among the latest head-scratchers was the Jacksons putting their $2.5 million town house on the market. A Jackson aide said the family hoped the sale would help pay medical bills. The family also maintains a Chicago home, but their two children go to school in Washington and Sandi Jackson commutes to Chicago for city business.
Replacing Jackson on the ballot gets messy this close to Election Day. Ballots with Jackson's name have already been mailed to troops overseas, which means that in a close election, the courts may have to step in to determine if a vote for Jackson would be counted for the replacement or thrown out.
If he were to step down in the next few weeks, the Democratic Party chairmen in the three counties he represents would have eight days to pick a replacement.
If Jackson has in fact decided to leave office, he is perhaps more likely to wait to resign until after winning re-election, leading to a special election that would keep the decision about a successor in the hands of voters.

MUSIGA To Vomit ?20 Billion
The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has been asked to account for the GH?2 million (?20 billion) the Government of Ghana set aside in the 2012 budget to boost the creative arts industry.
MUSIGA has gone for the money and is using it without the approval of other stakeholders in the creative arts industry and this has led to some bad blood between the union and other stakeholders in the creative arts industry.
The Music Council of Ghana (MCG) will be leading a delegation of music/creative arts stakeholders to present a petition to President John Mahama over the issue and also hit the streets on a demonstration meant to draw attention to the issue of the GH?2 million.
Reports reaching NEWS-ONE say MUSIGA is hot over the issue and has fallen on leading figures within the industry to call for a dialogue rather than demonstration.
On Wednesday, Ahuma Ocansey, popularly known as Daddy Bosco, was said to have represented MUSIGA at a meeting with the aggrieved stakeholders and pleaded for an amicable settlement of the matter.
Meanwhile, MUSIGA President Bice Obour Kufour is cooling off in New York, apparently absolutely unperturbed about the development.
A press statement signed by Justice Cletus ,general secretary, Music Council of Ghana noted: ?After waiting patiently for the Government through the Ministry of Chieftaincy & Culture to invite all stakeholders in the music/creative industry for appropriate disbursement of the GH?2, 000,000 budgetary allocation from the government of Ghana to the entire creative industry, we are indeed heartbroken and refuse to accept any such criteria or justification which warranted the total disbursement of this whole sum to one union of musicians called MUSIGA by the Ministry of Finance in collaboration with the Chieftaincy Ministry.
?MUSIGA does not represent the interest of the entirety of the Ghanaian Music/Creative industry and we don?t see any error or oversight that some may want to use to cover the role played by both the Ministries of Finance & Chieftaincy/Culture towards the processing and facilitation of this very questionable disbursement which His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Ghana has openly condemned and disassociated himself from the dubious payment of the said amount to MUSIGA.?
Not long after the budget was read, MUSIGA President Bice ?Obour? Kufour told several media houses that the money was for his musicians union alone and true to his words, they have hijacked the funds and left out all other stakeholders.
Speaking with Hitz FM, an Accra-based private radio station recently, ace hi-life musician Rex Omar, who is chairman of Business for MUSIGA, insisted that the money solely belonged to the musicians union, contrary to speculations.
According to him, ?MUSIGA applied for GH?2 million and it has been given to MUSIGA,? adding, if the money was meant for the creative industry, ?how come MUSIGA was able to access it and not the creative industry?
MUSIGA sent a specific proposal to do specific things?.
Meanwhile, the circumstances under which the Ministry of Finance released the money to MUSIGA alone are quite mysterious, especially when the Minister of Finance, in reading the budget statement, had categorically stated that the money was for the creative arts industry.
The Finance Minister, when he made the announcement, even went on to explain what he meant by the creative arts industry:
?Madam Speaker, Ghana has a vibrant creative arts industry that can be nurtured to create jobs and provide increase income to all stakeholders.
The industry covers creative sectors such as music, film video and photography, visual and performing arts, publishing, etc.
Global trade in creative goods and services remained very robust during the financial and economic meltdown, with the value of global export of creative goods and services reaching nearly US$600 billion between 2002 and 2008.?
?193. Ghana can benefit immensely if it begins to tap the creative sector of the economy, particularly those of the music and film industry.
But this will require an evaluation of the potential of the creative industry to contribute to the growth of the economy.
Beginning in 2012, therefore, Government will collaborate with the music industry to identify the potential of the industry through an impact assessment study.
The study will be used to support the preparation of a medium term strategic framework that will guide the development of the industry.
Government will also support the organisation of the 2012 Ghana Music Fair.
?194. An amount of GH?2.0 million has been allocated to support the creative arts industry in 2012,?was what Finance Minister Dufour told Parliament when he read the 2012 budget last year November.
This is what is also captured in the 2012 budget under the subhead line ?Boosting the Creative Arts Industry?.

How Can I Kid-Proof My PC and Gadgets? [Ask Lifehacker]
Dear Lifehacker,
I let my children and nephews use my computer, tablet, and smartphone sometimes, but I fear for their lives (the gadgets' lives, that is). What can I do to protect my devices from their little error-prone fingers (and keep the kids away from the darker corners of the web)?
Signed,
Concerned Parent and Gadget-Owner
Dear Concerned,
It's great that you're helping these kids become more tech-savvy. At the same time, we know how nerve-wracking and risky it can be to combine young computer users with very expensive electronics. Fear not, conflicted modern parent! Parental controls are easy to set up and there are several ways to disaster-proof your hardware.
Protect Your Devices from "Kidpocalypse"
Computers and iPads are irresistible to kids. Unfortunately, kids tend to like pushing buttons, smearing screens, and dropping things. So the first thing you need to do is protect the hardware itself.
That means encasing your mobile devices in sturdy, shock-absorbing cases such as the M-Edge SuperShell ($35) for the iPad (a bit thick, but I've seen it in action?an iPad actually thrown on the floor bounces right back up). A lot of people also like OtterBox's line of protective cases for smartphones and tablets. Screen protectors may not be as popular as they used to be, but they're definitely a necessity when you're dealing with kids who can scratch up a device before you even notice (not to mention cover it in tiny fingerprints).
Screen protectors and cases are also available for laptops (such as Speck's satin case for the MacBook Pro, $37), and you can also get covers/skins to protect the most abused part of a laptop or desktop: the keyboard. For the most part, though, you're probably better off just cleaning the computer and screen regularly. Hide the keyboard behind your monitor to keep your little one from banging it to death or use a utility like Toddler Keys that locks the keyboard, mouse, optical drive doors, and power button.
The most important precaution you need to take with laptops in particular is making sure the computer is on a stable surface. A kid bouncing on a bed with a laptop teetering on the edge will definitely make your heart race faster.
Of course, the best solution is to give the kid a device of his or her own. You can get a dedicated child-friendly computer like the Classmate PC or simply repurpose an old computer or cheap tablet. Consider it an extended warranty for your own hardware.
Use Built-in Parental or Guest Controls
Childproofing your devices doesn't stop with the hardware. There's a whole lot that kids can do to the system, from infecting it with all sorts of malware to changing your settings and deleting apps. Thankfully, most devices have built-in parental controls and other security options to protect your data.
Windows: Windows 7's Parental Controls can set up time limits, control access to specific games, and block certain programs. You'll find it under Start > Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > Set up parental controls for any user. For online activity reports and website restrictions, Microsoft offers Windows Live Family Safety, though there are several other third-party apps which offer more features?for a price. (See below)
Mac: OS X's parental controls are more robust. Head to System > Parental Controls and for any user you can block apps, set time limits, limit mail and messages to specific contacts, and restrict website access.
iOS: You can adjust a number of app and content restrictions under Settings > General > Restrictions on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. These settings are protected by a four-digit passcode. Some settings you probably want to adjust are the deleting apps and installing apps restrictions and, unless you like surprises in the form of huge bills, in-app purchasing.
New in iOS 6 is a feature called Guided Access, which effectively puts the iPad into "guest user" (or "kid user") mode. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access to turn it on. From there, you set a passcode and launch an app to share?the only one your kid will be able to access (the home button will be disabled until you triple-click it and enter the passcode).
Android: Android doesn't have any built-in parental controls, except the maturity level content filtering for apps downloaded from Google Play. However, some devices do come with their own parental controls or, like the Sony Xperia Android tablet, come with a guest mode for each user to have a separate home screen, apps, and wallpaper. There are also plenty of apps designed to protect kids from inappropriate content. We've highlighted Android Parental Control before, which limits app access.
Kindle: Amazon recently beefed up its Kindle parental controls with Kindle FreeTime controls in the Kindle Fire HD tablets. You can set time limits and restrict apps usage, as well as create multiple profiles for different users. Other Kindle parental controls include restricting access to in-app Amazon Appstore purchases and controls for specific content.
For the rest of your electronics, such as game consoles and DVD players, see our previous guide to setting up non-annoying parental controls.
Get Even More Control with Third-Party Apps
If the built-in control options aren't enough, you have more options with third-party apps and tweaks. If your iOS device is jailbroken, for example, you can setup multiple users on a jailbroken iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch with a Cydia tweak. Windows users can use Returnil System Safe (free), which clones your system to create a virtual environment; all the changes made in that virtual system are removed when you restart the PC. Alternatively, you could use a virtual machine app for your young one on any OS.
Besides protecting your PC and gadgets from your kids, you also want to protect your kids online. You can really lock down your data and monitor your kids' activities with dedicated parental control apps. Many antivirus companies offer these, such as Kaspersky Parental Control for Android. For Windows, Mac, and some mobile devices, Find The Best recommends Bsecure Online ($50/year for up to three computers), Net Nanny ($40), and Norton Online Family (free).
Your router might also come with parental controls to limit time of use and which websites can be accessed. If not, OpenDNS's parental controls protect all the devices on your home network and give you great control for managing website access.
Here are some kids' apps that can keep youngsters occupied and out of trouble:
- Kidzui is a fantastic kid-friendly browser for Windows that limits kids' usage to the child-friendly games and content on its network. ($7.95/month or $39.95/year, but free with some PCs).
- Gube for iPhone and iPad ($3.99) shows only kid-friendly YouTube videos, similar to Kido'z for Android, Chrome, and Firefox.
- Kid Mode for Android automatically locks kids into educational games and videos (There's an iOS version too, but it doesn't have the lock feature.)
Finally, the best thing you can do to protect your kids and your devices is supervise their screen time. For your peace of mind, though, take the above precautions into consideration.
Love,
Lifehacker

Libyan president: Benghazi attack was a ?preplanned act of terrorism?
Libyan President Mohammed Magarief said the controversial film that mocked Islam's Prophet Muhammad and ignited protests throughout the Muslim world had "nothing to do" with the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, and that he has "no doubt" it was an act of terrorism.
"It's a preplanned act of terrorism directed at American citizens," Magarief told NBC's Ann Curry in an interview that aired Wednesday. "Reaction should have been, if it was genuine, should have been six months earlier. So it was postponed until the 11th of September. They chose this date, 11th of September, to carry a certain message."
Magareif said the "high degree of accuracy" in which the attack was executed?with rocket-propelled grenades and mortar shells?is proof that the assault was preplanned, and not carried out by inexperienced protesters. He said he believes "al-Qaida elements" were involved but stopped short of directly accusing the terrorist group of planning it.
Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, was among those killed in the attack, but Magareif said he did not know if Stevens was specifically targeted.
The Libyan leader said more than 40 people have been questioned in connection with the killings, but that it is too early to reveal the details of the ongoing investigation.
[Related: Obama: Libya attack 'wasn't just a mob action']
Magarief's comments came a day after President Barack Obama said the attack was more than mob violence, but stopped short of explicitly labeling the assault as an act of terrorism.
"There's no doubt that the kind of weapons that were used, the ongoing assault, that it wasn't just a mob action," the president said in an appearance on "The View."
On Tuesday, he denounced the anti-Islam video in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, calling the film "crude and disgusting."
Obama told world leaders that he could not simply ban it and scolded those who denounce anti-Muslim speech but stay quiet when the target is Christianity.
"The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. But to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, churches are destroyed or the Holocaust is denied," Obama said, in an apparent reference to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Nazi Buddha statue came from space!
It sounds like a mash-up of Indiana Jones' plots, but German researchers say a heavy Buddha statue brought to Europe by the Nazis was carved from a meteorite that likely fell 10,000 years ago along the Siberia-Mongolia border.
This space Buddha, also known as "iron man" to the researchers, is of unknown age, though the best estimates date the statue to sometime between the eighth and 10th centuries. The carving depicts a man, probably a Buddhist god, perched with his legs tucked in, holding something in his left hand. On his chest is a Buddhist swastika, a symbol of luck that was later co-opted by the Nazi party of Germany.
"One can speculate whether the swastika symbol on the statue was a potential motivation to displace the 'iron man' meteorite artifact to Germany," the researchers wrote online Sept. 14 in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science.
Iron man adventure
The iron man first came to Germany after a 1938-1939 Tibet expedition by zoologist and ethnology Ernst Sch?fer, who was sent to the region by the Nazi party to find the roots of Aryan origin. The statue then passed into the hands of a private owner. [ Fallen Stars: A Gallery of Famous Meteorites ]
Stuttgart University researcher Elmar Bucher and his colleagues first analyzed the statue in 2007, when the owner allowed them to take five miniscule samples of it. In 2009, the team had the opportunity to take larger samples from the inside of the statue, which is less prone to contamination by weathering or human handling than the outside where the initial samples were taken.

Take 360-degree tours of the Great Barrier Reef
They found that the statue is carved from a rare class of space rocks known as ataxite meteorites. These mostly iron meteorites have a high level of nickel. The largest-ever known meteorite, the Hoba meteorite of Namibia, is an ataxite meteorite that may weigh more than 60 tons.
It came from outer space
A chemical analysis of the iron man samples revealed they are a close match for a famous scattering of space rocks from the Siberia and Mongolian border. The Chinga meteorite field holds at least 250 meteorite fragments, most relatively small, though two topping 22 pounds (10 kg) have been found there. Scientists estimate the Chinga meteorite fell 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. The field's first discovery was recorded in 1913, but the statue's existence suggests people were mining the field for artistic materials long before that, Buchner said.
The identity of the carved man is unclear, but the researchers suspect he may be the Buddhist god Vaisravana, also known as Jambhala. Vaisravana is the god of wealth or war, and he is often portrayed holding a lemon (a symbol of wealth) or moneybag in his hand. The iron man holds an unidentified object in his hand. The statue is about 9.5 inches (24 cm) tall and weighs about 23 pounds (10.6 kg).
Many cultures used meteorite iron to make daggers and even jewelry, Buchner and his colleagues wrote, and meteorite worship is common among many ancient cultures. But the Buddha carving is unique.
"The Iron Man statue is the only known illustration of a human figure to be carved into a meteorite, which means we have nothing to compare it to when assessing value," Buchner said in a statement.
"Its origins alone may value it at $20,000; however, if our estimation of its age is correct and it is nearly a thousand years old, it could be invaluable."

Ubuntu Made Easy Shortens the Learning Curve
Ubuntu is one of the most popular and user-friendly Linux operating systems you will find. That said, Ubuntu can be intimidating and frustrating to computer users just stepping out of the World of Windows. Nothing beats learning how to use the Linux operating system like hands-on discovery. Having someone to coach you through the questions does a lot to remove frustrations and shorten the learning curve.

UN: 1.5 million Syrians in need of food aid
BEIRUT (AP) ? The number of Syrians in need of food aid has jumped from 250,000 in April to 1.5 million today, the head of the U.N.'s food agency said Monday, as more civilians are driven from their homes by an escalating civil war.
Separately, the international envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, told reporters at the U.N. that the conflict threatens to spill across the Middle East and is "extremely bad and getting worse."
In a closed-door session of the U.N. Security Council, Brahimi had harsh words for Bashar Assad, saying the Syrian president has no intention of carrying out reforms that would end his family's four-decade grip on Syria.
Brahimi's comments were relayed by a diplomat who participated in the briefing and spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss publicly what was said.
Assad insists he is ready to consider political reforms and portrays those fighting to bring him down as foreign-backed terrorists. Syria's opposition groups, both in exile and in the country, dismiss Assad's promises and say the dictator must step down ahead of any political dialogue.
Syria's 18-month conflict appears to have reached a stalemate, with neither Assad's military nor armed rebels able to deliver a knock-out blow. The death toll has reached nearly 30,000, according to activists, while hundreds of thousands of Syrians have been displaced, many seeking refuge in neighboring Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.
In recent weeks, fighting has focused on Aleppo, Syria's largest city and a strategic prize for both sides. Rebels seized several neighborhoods of Aleppo over the summer, but have been unable to take full control of the city of 3 million, Syria's commercial capital and a former regime stronghold. The regime for its part has been unable to drive opposition fighters out of the city, despite superior firepower.
Taking Aleppo could give the rebels momentum and a stronghold in the north near the Turkish border. A rebel defeat, at the very least, would buy Assad more time.
On Monday, Syrian warplanes bombed two buildings in Aleppo's southern neighborhood of Maadi, killing five people, including three children from the same family, activists said. The apartment buildings were destroyed and more people were feared buried under the rubble, activists said. An amateur video showed people digging through the debris in search of survivors.
The aim of such strikes on residential areas is to terrify people and turn them against the Free Syrian Army rebel group, said Aleppo-based activist Mohammed Saeed. "The regime wants people to say that had the Free Syrian Army not entered the city, the regime wouldn't have bombed us," Saeed said.
In New York, the U.N.'s World Food Program warned that it is running short of funds to cover operations in Syria because of sharply growing needs. World Food Program chief Ertharin Cousin said the agency had raised $78 million, but needs $60 million more to cover its annual Syria budget. The crisis is likely to worsen as Syria's wet, chilly winter rolls in, she said.
In addition to aid pledges, Cousin said, donor countries need to exert diplomatic pressure to ensure the Syrian government allows agency workers access to those in need. Aid workers are struggling to reach families in conflict areas in and around the capital Damascus, and in the cities of Aleppo and Homs, adding that the agency's staff are traveling in armored vehicles.
The spike in the number of Syrians needing food, or money to buy food, has come as fighting has forced families to leave homes and jobs, with little hope of supporting themselves elsewhere.
"People are now living in schools and other public facilities like schools because they can't go back to their homes," she said. "It's an impossible situation for families, women, children, living through this crisis on a daily basis."
"Those who are food insecure are also internally displaced for the most part. If we don't provide them with the food assistance that is required, they will go hungry," Cousin said.
Across Syria, at least 48 civilians and 22 regime soldiers were killed Monday, including 16 in Aleppo, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based activist group.
The battle for Aleppo has marked the first time the regime has used helicopters and warplanes regularly to strike from the air, bringing an even heavier toll of civilian casualties. Previously, the military relied heavily on often indiscriminate artillery and tank shelling.
The Observatory and another group, the Local Coordination Committees, reported violence elsewhere in the country, including attacks by government troops backed by helicopter gunships on the southern town of Sheikh Miskeen in Daraa province.
The Observatory said rebels and troops were fighting near the military air base of Tabaqah in the northern province of Raqqa. Last week, rebels captured a major border crossing with Turkey in Raqqa.
Meanwhile, the Assad regime came under attack in a different arena. The state-run news agency SANA said its Facebook page was hacked in what it described as "another attempt targeting the Syrian national media." Efforts are underway to repair the Facebook page, the agency said.

Cagliari forced to forfeit Roma match 3-0
Associated Press Sports
updated 11:14 a.m. ET Sept. 24, 2012
MILAN (AP) -Roma has been awarded a 3-0 victory in its game at Cagliari, which was postponed on Sunday for safety reasons after the Sardinian club defied orders to play the Serie A match in an empty stadium.
The Italian league announced its decision to punish Cagliari on Monday, saying that the club's actions were "a blatant violation" of its rules and "the direct and only reason" the game was called off.
Cagliari could face further sanctions as the matter as has also been referred to the Italian Football Federation.
Cagliari President Massimo Cellino had urged fans to ignore the authorities, posting a statement on the club website calling for fans to attend peacefully, regardless of the ruling.

In relationships based on mutuality, the number of individuals involved can determine the rate at which species evolve
This press release is available in German.
The relationship between species determines how rapidly they evolve. Parasites and their hosts coevolve more rapidly, and partners in a mutualistic relationship can evolve more slowly. But this view is obviously too simplistic. The rate of evolution in a mutualistic relationship does not depend only on the type of interactions, but also on the number of individuals involved, according to a model developed by researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Pln, Germany. Therefore, while partners can benefit from slow evolution if only two individuals interact, a higher rate of evolution may be favoured if several individuals are involved.
Parasites and hosts conduct an arms race with one another in which the parasite must constantly find new ways to circumvent the defensive measures of the host. As a result, they both constantly evolve. This is similar to the situation of the Red Queen in the book "Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There" by British author Lewis Carroll, and is therefore labelled the Red Queen Hypothesis. The counterpart to it is the Red King's Hypothesis, first posited in 2003: in mutualistic relationships, evolving more slowly can be favoured. This occurs, namely, when the partners behave egotistically in the beginning and then attempt to become more altruistic. The partner holding back and evolving more slowly benefits, as it does not have to invest anything in improving the partnership.
Up to now, researchers have explored the Red King Hypothesis only in models for which two individuals come into contact with one another. However, this does not reflect reality for the most part. It is much more often the case in nature that several individuals are in a relationship with one another. Thus, several ants protect a single butterfly larva in order to be rewarded with its honeydew. For the ant, the relationship is therefore between two individuals; however, from the perspective of the caterpillar, there are multiple partners interacting.
The scientists in Pln have therefore tested the Red King's Hypothesis in a multiplayer model. According to this, it was confirmed that the Red King's Hypothesis is only valid in pairwise mutualistic relationships. As soon as several parties are involved, it becomes considerably more complicated. "Then more rapid evolution can be favoured for a party as well," explains Chaitanya Gokhale from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology.

Andrea Hsu/NPRThis crushed car will go on display at the Jianchuan Earthquake Museum on May 12. The museum's founder, Fan Jianchuan, says the point of the museum is to memorialize the earthquake and learn how to protect against future quakes.
When I came back to southwest China to report stories leading up to the May 12 anniversary of the earthquake, I never imagined this scene: I'm running through a mountain park alongside young warriors wearing camouflage suits and toting plastic laser guns. They kneel and take aim through the trees as a loud, synthesized firefight echoes around us.
I'm in the middle of a game of laser tag at the Counter Strike battlefield, high up in the mountains outside the town of Baoshan. The site is part of a growing industry all around the earthquake zone: earthquake tourism.
The Counter Strike laser tag park is based on a shoot-'em-up video game. The battlefield where the two armies face off is a lush garden filled with huge pink peonies and moss-covered pagodas.
The laser-tag warriors shoot it out steps away from homes that were destroyed by the earthquake, their ruins still huge heaps of mangled concrete and twisted steel.
The battlefield park was developed by the Baoshan Group construction company. The head of the tourism section, Dai Jun, explains the idea behind it: It's designed to provide a team-building exercise for office workers who might drive up from the city.
At the same time, Dai tells me, it will help the local economy recover.
"I think building this base here provides more job opportunities for local people, and I don't think it's unfair to those who died in the earthquake," Dai says.
I ask him, "Even though the people who play these games are simulating death in an area where death was very real for so many people?"
"The people in disaster-hit areas need to get back to a normal life," Dai says. "They need to walk out of the shadow of this disaster as soon as possible."
So this is the new normal. One of the young city visitors, Counter Strike warrior Zhang Ling, tells me, "We need to let everyone know the earthquake of May 12 has passed."
"This game teaches us that we need to stay united and help each other," Zhang says. "After the earthquake, the relief effort went so well because the Chinese people united as one. We're here playing this game with the same goals in mind. It's not just about battling each other."
A Museum Planned On Destroyed School Site
Two counties away is another promised tourist destination: the flattened city of Beichuan. An earthquake museum will be built on the site of the destroyed Beichuan Middle School. Hundreds of children died when the school collapsed, and it is now a ghastly pile of debris and twisted rebar. It's hard to imagine that in the future, this schoolyard will become a tourist site.
Visitors will be allowed to walk through the ruined city, where many bodies still lie buried beneath the rubble. Some local residents are not at all happy about that idea.
Just down the road, I meet Liu Xiaohua at the temporary housing camp where she lives with her family. Her mother-in-law was killed in Beichuan, the body never recovered.
"Many of us feel uneasy" about the tourism plans, Liu tells me. "So many people died; their bodies are still buried. Of course we don't feel good about it. There are so many bodies that can't be retrieved."
But the deputy county chief of Beichuan, He Wang, sees tourism as an important way to revitalize the area, memorialize the dead and promote national unity.
"It will be a somber environment," he says. "I believe that everyone who visits the Beichuan ruins will experience a spiritual baptism, and at the same time learn something about humanity and patriotism."
I ask him, "What would you say to people whose family members may be buried in that rubble who say, 'This a private space. I don't want people coming here to look at this. This is my graveyard'?"
"We need to respect the feelings and wishes of the victims' families," he says. "But I personally believe that we'll be able to gain the families' understanding."
There also are plans to turn a huge earthquake lake into a tourist spot. The quake lakes were formed when landslides caused by the temblor dammed up rivers. A year ago, people feared those lakes would burst and cause disastrous flooding. But now they're making the best of the situation: The plan is for the quake lake of Tangjiashan to become a destination for boating, with teahouses lining the banks of the lake.
Putting Famous Earthquake Pig On Display
We made one last stop on our earthquake tourism circuit: the new quake museum in Dayi, about 100 miles southwest of Beichuan. It's set to open on the anniversary of the quake.
The museum is the brainchild of wealthy real estate developer Fan Jianchuan. He has scooped up tens of thousands of earthquake artifacts for his collection, everything from a rescue boat to children's backpacks gathered from a collapsed school to the now-famous "earthquake pig": a sow who is said to have survived for 36 days in the rubble of a home. Her nickname is "Three-Six."
And get this: As soon as he has enough money, Fan tells me, he is going to install three earthquake simulators.
"The room will shake," he says, "The ceiling will collapse, TVs will come crashing down, the sounds of people screaming will come out of speakers. Just like a Hollywood movie."
Having experienced firsthand the terrifying, stomach-turning force of the temblor when I was in Sichuan last May, I'm horrified, but intrigued. I ask Fan who would want to experience the simulation.
"I think young people will be very interested," Fan says. "I've found that earthquakes happen every 30 years or so. When another one comes, I'll be 80. It won't matter if I die. But I want young people to learn how to protect themselves against the next one. Only then will our society have hope for the future."
Fan tells me he worries that people will forget what happened here last May. His museum is a bulwark against oblivion.
On May 12 at 2:28 in the afternoon ? the minute the earthquake struck last year ? a siren will sound and Fan Jianchuan's earthquake museum will open for business.

Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is waiting in line | Joystiq
This week, Apple released the iPhone 5. It's become a sort of cultural expectation that people will wait in line for hours to buy a new Apple device on launch day. Game consoles have shared in the phenomenon, as Nintendo's Wii system couldn't stay on retail shelves for years.
Wii U pre-orders rocked online retailers as well this week, to the point that GameStop started up a wait list for those looking to buy the system. Is this a matter of high demand or low production on Nintendo's behalf? That's hard to answer without reliable sales figures. Could Nintendo take after Apple with its upcoming home console, seeing people line up for hours this holiday season to scoop up the Wii U? All signs point to "yes" on that one.
For me, I fear that if I don't get a Wii U this holiday season due to my personal disinterest in the launch lineup, there's a looming possibility that this is my only reasonable shot at owning the system until the 2013 holiday season. For once, I feel I can empathize with Apple devotees that feel as though they can't wait another day for the next iPhone. So while you're waiting in line today, whether it's to pick up your new iPhone 5 or to buy your groceries, check out last week's webcomics and vote for your favorite after the break!

All Over But the Funding: Open Hardware Spectrometer Kit
New submitter mybluevan writes "The Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science is putting together an open hardware spectrometer kit on Kickstarter. The kits are built using an HD webcam, discarded DVD, and a couple other odd bits. They've also put together a kit for your smart phone and open-source software for desktop, Android, and iOS. Need to analyze the contents of your coffee, the output of your new grow lights, or a distant star on a budget? Just build your own spectrometer, or pick up the limited edition steampunk version." Besides making cool hardware, they'd like to "build a Wikipedia-style library of open source spectra, and to refine and improve sample collection and analysis techniques. We imagine a kind of 'SHAZAM for materials' which can help to investigate chemical spills, diagnose crop diseases, identify contaminants in household products, and even analyze olive oil, coffee, and homebrew beer."
