The fungus then kills the ant, and fruiting bodies erupt from the ant's head and spread more
spores. Because of this, scientists thought that the forest floor must be festooned with spores
of these fungi, making it very dangerous for the ants. Not so, Hughes discovered. Combining
new data from Brazilian zombie-ant graveyards with from previous studies of Thai graveyards,
the scientists realized that an as yet unnamed fungus keeps the zombie-ant fungus in check.
"The vast majority [of zombie-ant spores] have been taken out of the game" by the other
fungus, Hughes said.
To hear David Hughes tell it, rain forest
floors are littered with corpses of fungus-
infected "zombie ants." This made the
entomologist wonder: How do the lucky
ants escape zombification? The answer,
his team found, is that the ants have an
unwitting ally: a fungus that "castrates"
the zombie-ant fungus. Ant zombification
begins when a fungus shoots spores onto
an insect. The parasitic fungus gradually
takes over the ant's brain and directs the
insect to a cool, moist location.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is set to hit theaters on
December 14th. Some audience members at advance
screenings are reporting nausea, migraine headaches, and
general queasiness after watching it.
The film was shot at 48 frames per second, twice the normal
rate, to achieve an unprecedented feeling of reality. But that
can backfire.
This faster camera speed "requires the eye to sweep up and
down faster than usual in close-ups to absorb unparalleled
detail on a big screen," causing a significant amount of
cognitive and eye strain.
This technique "works for the big snowy mountains, but in
close-ups the picture strobes," said one moviegoer. "I left
loving the movie but feeling sick." Another audience member
was more blunt: "My eyes cannot take everything in, it's
dizzying," he said. "Now I have a migraine."

If you're uncertain of the science here, it's really straightforward. Bananas, like
many fruits, release ethylene gas naturally, which controls enzymatic browning and
ripening of not just itself, but other fruits nearby.
If you want your bananas to last as long as possible, the real key is to
separate them and then wrap each individual stem with plastic wrap.
Much of that off-gassing
takes place at the stem—or
the crown—of the banana.
By wrapping the crown of a
bunch, you slow down the
ripening process a bit.

So Obama has gone from 'Change you can believe in' to 'Can you believe there's no change.'" –Jay Leno "Mitt Romney is refusing to participate in the long-running special on Nickelodeon called 'Kids Pick the President.' Romney said it's nothing personal; he just says that these kids are part of that 47 percent who contribute nothing to the country and mooch off their parents and grandparents." –Jay Leno "A new survey found that atheists are the fastest-growing religious group in the U.S. And if you find that hard to believe – well, you're probably one of them." –Jimmy Fallon "Apparently after last week's debate, polls show Obama trailing Romney by one point.

The Last Word: Influences on Voters RQs due Thursday The fungus then kills the ant, and fruiting bodies erupt from the ant's head and spread more spores. Because of this, scientists thought that the forest floor must be festooned with spores of these fungi, making it very dangerous for the ants. Not so, Hughes discovered. Combining new data from Brazilian zombie-ant graveyards with from previous studies of Thai graveyards, the scientists realized that an as yet unnamed fungus keeps the zombie-ant fungus in check. "The vast majority [of zombie-ant spores] have been taken out of the game" by the other fungus, Hughes said. To hear David Hughes tell it, rain forest floors are littered with corpses of fungus- infected "zombie ants." This made the entomologist wonder: How do the lucky ants escape zombification? The answer, his team found, is that the ants have an unwitting ally: a fungus that "castrates" the zombie-ant fungus. Ant zombification begins when a fungus shoots spores onto an insect. The parasitic fungus gradually takes over the ant's brain and directs the insect to a cool, moist location.

" –Jay Leno "According to the latest poll, 80 percent of the people polled are sick and tired of hearing about the latest polls." –Jay Leno "There's been some talk about making Election Day a national holiday so people have more time to vote. I think people are so sick of this election. How about making the day AFTER Election Day the holiday?" –Jay Leno "While he was at a diner this week in Ohio, a man told Joe Biden that he's a good guy but a bad vice president.

  • 51. Last Word: OL 9.2 due Thursday FrontPage: OL on your desk. Is the US president the most powerful leader in the world?
  • 52. Last Word: OL 9.2 due Thursday FrontPage: NNIGN The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is set to hit theaters on December 14th. Some audience members at advance screenings are reporting nausea, migraine headaches, and general queasiness after watching it. The film was shot at 48 frames per second, twice the normal rate, to achieve an unprecedented feeling of reality. But that can backfire. This faster camera speed "requires the eye to sweep up and down faster than usual in close-ups to absorb unparalleled detail on a big screen," causing a significant amount of cognitive and eye strain. This technique "works for the big snowy mountains, but in close-ups the picture strobes," said one moviegoer. "I left loving the movie but feeling sick." Another audience member was more blunt: "My eyes cannot take everything in, it's dizzying," he said. "Now I have a migraine."

It's the perfect way to tell your newborn, 'We’re planning to replace you in 6 months.'" – Conan O'Brien "McDonald's just announced that it's bringing back the McRib later this month. Or, as the Mayans put it, 'Hey, we tried to warn you.'" –Jimmy Fallon "Barbara Walters has released part of her 'Most Fascinating People' list. This year Hillary Clinton and Honey Boo Boo are both on it. That's right. The woman who may soon be president – and Hillary Clinton." –Jimmy Fallon
  • 56. Last Word: Test Wednesday FrontPage: NNIGN If you're uncertain of the science here, it's really straightforward. Bananas, like many fruits, release ethylene gas naturally, which controls enzymatic browning and ripening of not just itself, but other fruits nearby. If you want your bananas to last as long as possible, the real key is to separate them and then wrap each individual stem with plastic wrap. Much of that off-gassing takes place at the stem—or the crown—of the banana. By wrapping the crown of a bunch, you slow down the ripening process a bit.

So it means dress is casual." –David Letterman "A close friend of mine said his doctor gave him less than two weeks to live. But it turns out his doctor's a Mayan. He says that to everybody." –Jay Leno "According to a new poll, most Americans think Santa Claus is a Democrat – which is really odd because when I think of a fat, old white man who hires unskilled labor, I think Republican." -Conan O'Brien "Al Qaeda's number two man has been killed by an American drone in Pakistan.
