Non-lethal chemical weapons used in Syria, Le Monde says

PARIS (Reuters) - Syrian forces used non-lethal chemical weapons against rebels in the town of Homs in late December, according to intelligence service sources cited by French daily Le Monde on Saturday.

The weapons were used in four rockets fired on December 23, according to unnamed sources in Western intelligence services cited by the newspaper. Le Monde suggested Western powers played down an isolated event in the hope it would not be repeated.

Le Monde quoted French Foreign Ministry spokesman Philippe Lalliot as having told it that the matter had been investigated but that the checks did not produce evidence.

A French diplomatic source contacted by Reuters said Lalliot's response to Le Monde remained the official line.

Le Monde said Western powers had previously warned that recourse to chemical weapons could force them into action in a deadly conflict where President Bashar al Assad has used troops to crush an uprising now nearly two years old

"We checked this out, closely, and notably the videos that were circulating. We cannot say that combat gas or any lethal chemical products were deployed," Le Monde quoted Lalliot as having told it of the chemical weapons reports.

The diplomatic source contacted by Reuters said this was and remained the case.

The United Nations says 60,000 have been killed in the 22-month-old conflict.

Zoologger: The first solar-powered vertebrate

Zoologger is our weekly column highlighting extraordinary animals ? and occasionally other organisms ? from around the world

Species: Ambystoma maculatum
Habitat: Throughout the eastern USA and parts of southern Canada, leaving other salamanders green with envy

When you think about it, animals are weird. They ignore the abundant source of energy above their heads ? the sun ? and choose instead to invest vast amounts of energy in cumbersome equipment for eating and digesting food. Why don't they do what plants do, and get their energy straight from sunlight?

The short answer is that many do. Corals are animals but have algae living in them that use sunlight to make sugar. Many other animals, from sponges to sea slugsMovie Camera, pull the same trick. One species of hornet can convert sunlight into electricity. There are also suggestions that aphids can harness sunlight, although most biologists are unconvinced.

But all these creatures are only distantly related to us. No backboned animal has been found that can harness the sun ? until now. It has long been suspected, and now there is hard evidence: the spotted salamander is solar-powered.

Plants make food using photosynthesis, absorbing light to power a chemical reaction that converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and releases oxygen. Corals profit from this reaction by housing photosynthetic algae inside their shells.

Long-term partners

Spotted salamanders, too, are in a long-term relationship with photosynthetic algae. In 1888, biologist Henry Orr reported that their eggs often contain single-celled green algae called Oophila amblystomatis. The salamanders lay the eggs in pools of water, and the algae colonise them within hours.

By the 1940s, biologists strongly suspected it was a symbiotic relationship, beneficial to both the salamander embryos and the algae. The embryos release waste material, which the algae feed on. In turn the algae photosynthesise and release oxygen, which the embryos take in. Embryos that have more algae are more likely to survive and develop faster than embryos with few or none.

Then in 2011 the story gained an additional twist. A close examination of the eggs revealed that some of the algae were living within the embryos themselves, and in some cases were actually inside embryonic cells. That suggested the embryos weren't just taking oxygen from the algae: they might be taking glucose too. In other words, the algae were acting as internal power stations, generating fuel for the salamanders.

To find out if that was happening, Erin Graham of Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and colleagues incubated salamander eggs in water containing radioactive carbon-14. Algae take up the isotope in the form of carbon dioxide, producing radioactive glucose.

Graham found that the embryos became mildly radioactive ? unless kept in the dark. That showed that the embryos could only take in the carbon-14 via photosynthesis in the algae.

Big help

The algae do not seem to be essential to the embryos, but they are very helpful: embryos deprived of algae struggle. "Their survival rate is much lower and their growth is slowed," says Graham.

It's less clear how well the algae get on without the embryos. In the lab, they transform into dormant cysts. The salamander eggs are only around in spring, suggesting that in the wild, the algae spend the rest of the year as cysts. The ponds they live in dry up in summer, so the algae may sit out the rest of the year in the sediment.

Now that one vertebrate has been shown to use photosynthesis, Graham says there could well be others. "Anything that lays eggs in water would be a good candidate," she says, as algae would have easy access to the eggs. So other amphibians, and fish, could be doing it. It's much less likely that a mammal or bird could photosynthesise, as their developing young are sealed off from the outside world.

Schools: Natick football coaches receive MIAA penalty

A meeting with the MIAA Board of Directors on Wednesday to review the incident regarding the use of an unauthorized football by Natick in its playoff game with Plymouth South yielded consequences for the Redhawks coaching staff.

The MIAA ruled that for using the ball the entire Natick coaching staff, led by head coach Mark Mortarelli, will be required to attend three courses offered by the National Federation and one course offered by the MIAA on sportsmanship.

"It is regrettable that this incident occurred, and unfortunate that so many of the things that could have prevented it from happening and becoming the story that it is didn't happen," said Natick athletic director Tim Collins in a statement.

During the game, Natick asked and received permission from a game official to use a Wilson GTS ball, despite the fact that the MIAA rules state the only ball authorized for use was a ball made by Spalding.

Permission was granted on the basis of weather, but Plymouth South was not informed, and used the ball regulated for playoff use. But despite receiving permission, the Board of Directors found that even inquiring about the use of a different ball constituted unsportsmanlike conduct.

"Natick's Football Staff did ask for and receive permission on that snowy, stormy playoff football night to use (not an illegal football) but a non-corporate sponsored football," continued the statement by Collins. "The MIAA assigned officiating crew made a game time decision and Natick's Football Team was authorized to use the brand of football it had used all season. The Natick Coaching Staff acted on good faith that the MIAA Officiating Crew had the authority to make the decision they made that night."

Despite that, Collins said the coaching staff would cooperate with the penalty and that the coaches would attend all required sportsmanship courses.

"Natick High School respects the MIAA's decision and the efforts of the MIAA Football Committee and the Executive Board," said Collins. "Although we have not received in writing the MIAA's findings from yesterday's (Wednesday) Executive Board Meeting, Natick HS is ready to move forward and will follow the MIAA directives in regard to the Football Staff completing a Coaches' Education Course."

You Have the Time to Make a Connection ? Business Management ...

Leaders often lament to me about how busy they are. One of the things many say doesn?t get done is taking the time to build relationships with their team members.

I know you are busy.

I know you have a lot on your plate. But finding connections and building relationships with your team members pays dividends in many ways, including greater productivity, less turnover, higher morale, more trust and greater speed of implementation.

If I could give you ways to work on these relationships and gain these benefits and prove it wouldn?t take too much time, would you be interested?

If so, read on.

Your goal as a leader isn?t to make friends; it is to build strong working relationships. Talking about the work and the weather isn?t enough. If you really want to engage with people, you have to find connections and make it a priority. Doing this doesn?t have to take much time.

Find their passions. This may not be hard at all. What pictures are in their office? What do you hear them talking to others about? Everyone likes to talk about what they are passionate about?whether it is their kids, their alma mater, fishing or football. Find what that is, and be genuinely interested in their passion. You might be surprised how quickly this will build a connection and what you learn in the process.

Find a commonality. What do you share? Are you both a twin, did you both play trumpet in the high school band, or both love the Grand Canyon? When you find the pieces of a connection, you begin to crystallize it and provide the seeds for a relationship to grow.

Be happy. People want to be around happy people. You do, don?t you? Smile and share a positive outlook on things. While this is an attractive quality in anyone, as a leader it is even more important, because your attitude and outlook are extremely contagious. Make sure what you are spreading is the attitude and perspective that you want to grow.

Say thank you. You learned it as a kid?but are you still doing it (enough)? Show your appreciation to your team for the little stuff as well as the big stuff. Let them know you notice. Acknowledge their efforts and results.

Be present. The biggest gift we can give anyone is our time?maybe that is why it?s called the present. This doesn?t mean you need to spend an hour with someone; it just means that when you are with them, don?t be somewhere else! Listen; quiet your internal dialogue. Make eye contact. Acknowledge people with your full attention. It happens so rarely that when we do it, it makes a big and lasting impression.

Arrive with no agenda. Don?t just show up in someone?s area when you have a question or a challenge, and mask it with an opening conversation about a non-work item. It is transparent and not nearly as meaningful as simply doing some of the other ideas on this list. Stop by to stop by. Ask more questions, shut up and listen. If you have something specific to discuss, start there and move to other items afterwards, rather than the other way around (especially early in your relationship-building process with that person).

Be helpful. Find out what people are concerned by and need, and then offer your help. I?m not talking micro-managing, I?m talking about help. This is simple and very powerful. Do it.

Make it your goal to make their day. What if you made this one of your goals each day? How would it change your behavior? How would it impact the behavior, and productivity of others? How would it begin to change your organizational culture? Try this?it won?t take long for you to find significant results.

All of these things will work, and none of them take much of your time. Make it your goal to do more of these things with more people more often. It might be in the three minutes before a meeting starts, in the coffee room, or when you walk by their workspace. Doing these things will give you great results, will endear you to your team and will make your work more fun too.

Live cricket score Kochi ODI: India pip England to level series 1-1

India finally found their winning touch as they relied on a brilliant all-round display to thrash England by an emphatic 127 runs in the second cricket one-dayer here at Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Tuesday.

India vs England: Live Cricket Score

????
India first posted a competitive 285, riding on captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's 72 and Ravindra Jadeja's 61, before the bowlers skittled out the visitors for a paltry 158 in just 36 overs to level the five-match series 1-1.
???
It was a convincing and morale-boosting victory for the Indians who have struggled of late even in home conditions, losing the ODI series to arch-rivals Pakistan and the Test series against England.
????
The hosts did well in all departments of the game, though the batting of the top order continued to be a concern with Gautam Gambhir (8) and Ajinkya Rahane (4) failing to deliver while the form of Virat Kohli remained patchy though he scored 37 today.
???
It was Dhoni's 66-ball 72 and Jadeja's blistering unbeaten knock of 61 in just 37 balls which provided the late flourish to the Indian innings. Suresh Raina (55) and Yuvraj Singh (32), who was distinctly unlucky to be given LBW, were the other notable contributors.
????
With the Nehru Stadium providing ample assistance to the bowlers in the second half, the Indians exploited the conditions to the hilt to bundle out the visitors with Kevin Pietersen being the top-scorer with a 58-ball 42.
????
Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3/29), R Ashwin (3/39) and Jadeja (2/12) were the pick of the Indian bowlers to give the hosts a resounding victory in front of a capacity crowd.
????
The two teams will now travel to Ranchi for the third one-dayer to be played on January 19.
?

India's top-order struggled once again but skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (72) continued his rich vein of form to steer the hosts to a challenging 285 for six against England in the second one-dayer here at Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Tuesday.
??? ?
Dhoni blasted a 66-ball 72 laced with seven fours and two sixes, to take his team past the 250-run mark after they were reduced to 119-4 in 26.2 overs.
??? ?
Dhoni featured in two crucial partnerships --- first adding 55 runs with Suresh Raina and then 96 runs with Ravindra Jadeja for the fifth and sixth wickets respectively.
??? ?
Middle-order batsman Raina also cracked a well-paced half-century off 78 balls, studded with two sixes and a couple of fours, to initially steady the innings along with Dhoni having come into bat at No 5.
??? ?
However, it was in the last 10 overs which gave the hosts the impetus as Dhoni and allrounder Ravindra Jadeja, amassed 108 runs, to put the team in a comfortable position after they decided to bat first.
??? ?
Steven Finn was the top wickettaker for England as he took two wickets for 51 runs, while James Tredwell bowled really well, taking one wicket for 48 runs.
??? ?
Jade Dernbach and Chris Woakes were expensive but snapped two and one wicket to contribute to the team.
?? ?
Earlier, India had a tottering start as they were reduced to 18 for two by the English pace duo of Finn and Dernbach.
??? ?
Gautam Gambhir (8) and Ajinkya Rahane (4) paid the price for their poor footwork as both were cleaned bowled by Dernbach and Finn respectively.
??? ?
While, Gambhir failed to defend an incoming delivery from Finn, Rahane tried to play too away from the body, leaving a huge gap which was breached by the inswinger from Dernbach.
??? ?
Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh then tried to steady the ship and added 53 runs off 65 balls for the third wicket.

However, the left-handed batsman was adjudged leg-before wicket by umpire Steve Davis despite the fact that Tredwell's delivery had kissed Yuvraj's glove while he attempted a sweep shot. Yuvraj hit five fours in his 37-ball innings.
??? ?
Raina then joined Kohli and the duo forged another 48-run stand for the fifth wicket and helped India cross the 100-run mark. But Kohli then threw his wicket in pursuit of an ambitious shot.
??? ?
Soon it was left to Raina and Dhoni once again to stem the rot and the duo did not disappoint, taking the hosts across the 150-run mark.
??? ?
Raina brought up his fifty in 66 balls with a boundary in the backward point region but in pursuit of quick runs, he lost his off-stump to Finn in the 40th over.
??? ?
After the 35th over, India took their batting Powerplay but the home team failed to make use of it, accumulating only 18 runs off the four overs.
?? ?
?Dhoni and Jadeja then decided to accelarate and picked up a six and a four among them in the 43rd over to take India across the 200-mark.
??? ?
Jadeja blasted a six and a couple of fours off Woakes in the 45th over to amass 14 runs, while Dhoni picked up a couple of boundaries of Finn in the 47th over.
??? ?
In the last five overs, the duo accumulated 68 runs as India posted a challenging score for the visitors.?

?

Indian skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat against England in the second ODI here at Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Tuesday. India have just made one change in the playing XI. Shami Ahmed replaced Ashok Dinda in the playing.

On the other hand, England have also made one change in the side Tim Bresnan has some niggle and young Woakes replaced him in final XI.

Teams:

Ind: Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Shami Ahmed, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Eng: Alastair Cook, Ian Bell, Eoin Morgan, Kevin Pietersen, Joe Root, Craig Kieswetter, Tredwell, Steven Finch, Samit Patel, Woakes, Dernbach.
