The attack comes as militants have seized wide swaths of

X-rays reveal the mysteries of fire-ant rafts

By Amina Knan

Published: June 16, 2014

Fire ants may be famous for their vicious sting, but theyre also

remarkable builders, able to quickly assemble a working raft

out of their own bodies and sail through dangerous flash flood

waters. But their secrets of living masonry have remained

shrouded from view.Now, scientists have peered into the heart of such fire-ant rafts

and discovered how the individual insects link together to

create these remarkably strong yet lightweight structures. Such

insight, described in a paper in the Journal of Experimental

Biology, may one day help engineers build self-healing

buildings and bridges.

Resumen:

Las hormigas de fuego son grandes constructoras pues son

capaces de hacer edificion y balsas con sus propios cuerpos,

por lo que los cientificos las estudian para mejorar las tecnicas

de construccion y desarrollo en materia de infraestructura

Fans want three changes: Javi Martnez, Koke and Pedro

By TYLER KEPNERPublished: June 18, 2014

In a survey ran by AS.com, with more than 80,000 votes, readers

want three changes to Del Bosque's Spain XI for the game

against Chile: Javi Martnez for Piqu, Koke for Xavi and Pedro

for Busquets

The votes also showed that Spain fans want the side to line up in

a 4-1-4-1 formation. They would sacrifice Busquets, leaving Xabi

Alonso as the only central midfielder, with Silva, Koke Iniesta and

Pedro forming an attacking line in front of him. It is the system

that saw the side win Euro 2008 with Marcos Senna in the

Alonso role. Up top, Diego Costa received 10,000 votes more

than Villa and five times as many votes as Torres, who came off

the bench to produce one of the misses of the tournamentagainst Holland.

Piqu pays the price for the disastrous showing first time out,

with Martnez the more popular option. The Barcelona man

does remain ahead of Ral Albiol, however. Azpilicueta and

Juanfran is a close call, whilst Casillas would be the man to start

between the sticks.

Microgrid sales rise alongside qualms about the power grid

By TIMOTHY EGANJune 18, 2014 2013, 9:00 pm

The periodic blackouts in Cassina Tarsia's Oceanside

neighborhood meant the 71-year-old couldn't charge her

cellphone or electric wheelchair.

But outages aren't a problem anymore.

Since February, Tarsia's garage has housed a suitcase-sized

battery that stores power from her rooftop solar panels and

the main electrical grid. In a blackout, the battery can power

her home for days or even weeks.

"I think about what will happen in a big earthquake and what

happened in Japan with the tsunami," said Tarsia, who paid

$5,000 to get the battery installed. "I wanted to be prepared."In the garage of her Oceanside home, Cassina Tarsia sits in her

Tesla and looks at the large battery on the wall that stores

electricity to be used in case of a blackout. (Don Bartletti, Los

Angeles Times)

India's incomplete democracy

By STEPHANIE STROM

Published: june 16, 2014

In April and May, the world's largest democracy elected its latest

prime minister, Narendra Modi. Modi has promised to shake up

long-standing government corruption and bring prosperity to all

of India, as he did to the state of Gujarat as its chief minister.

But it wasn't just a desire for economic reform that helped seal

Modi's victory: He is the leader of the zealous Bharatiya Janata

Party, and he was ushered into office by a surge of Hindu

nationalism and religious fervor. Moreover, his effectiveness as a

uniting figure for India is called into question by his inaction inGujarat in 2002, when he did nothing to stop thousands of

Muslims from being massacred or made homeless by mobs.

With the ascension of Modi and the BJP come inevitable concerns

about India's willingness to treat all of its citizens equally. And it is

not just a problem between the nation's Hindu majority and

Muslims, who make up nearly 15% of the population.
