Arrests were made of two suspects in the killings of Ying Wu, left, and Ming Qu, two University of Southern California students from China who were slain April 11.

Forensic evidence found at the scene of the crime linked the double murder?to two attempted homicides in Los Angeles, leading to the arrest of two suspects,?LAPD?Chief Charlie Beck said Friday.

Bryan Barnes, 20, of Los Angeles, and Javier Bolden, 19, of Palmdale, are being held without bail in connection with the murders of the electrical engineering students from China, Beck said.


They have been booked for murder and are scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and LAPD?Chief Charlie Beck joined detectives from the criminal gang homicide division for a news conference Friday night, announcing the arrests in the April 11 murders.

Detectives from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the FBI?worked on the case?with LAPD detectives.

“They left no stone unturned and spared no expense at the solving of this crime,”?Beck said. “People have the right to come this city from anywhere in the world … without being phased by vicious criminals.”

Javier and Barnes have minor records and are not documented gang members, but Beck said authorities believe they have gang affiliations.

The announcement comes one day after the victims’ parents filed a wrongful death suit against the university seeking unspecified damages.

Wu and Qu, both electrical engineering students from China, were double parked in a BMW?sedan on Raymond Avenue south of Adams Boulevard late Wednesday, April 11, when a gunman fired at them.

Neighbors in the residential neighborhood, several blocks west of the USC campus, reported hearing shots fired.

The male student, Qu, escaped the car but was shot. He was found on the porch of a nearby residence, apparently seeking help from neighbors.

On April 13, police announced a $125,000 reward, which climbed to $200,000 after the LA?City Council unanimously approved an additional $75,000 reward.

Annual scholarships were established in honor of the students, USC President C.L. Max Nikias said at a campuswide memorial service in April.

Wu and Qu were among the largest foreign student body in the United States.

Nearly 9,000 foreign transplants chose USC?during the 2010-11 academic year, making the campus near downtown Los Angeles top in the nation for international students.

Between Fall 2009 and Spring 2010, enrollment by Chinese students jumped nearly 37 percent, according to that year’s enrollment report.

Intricate, often invisible land-sea ecological chains of life threatened with extinction around the world

ScienceDaily (May 18, 2012) ? Douglas McCauley and Paul DeSalles did not set out to discover one of the longest ecological interaction chains ever documented. But that’s exactly what they and a team of researchers — all current or former Stanford students and faculty — did in a new study published in Scientific Reports.

Their findings shed light on how human disturbance of the natural world may lead to widespread, yet largely invisible, disruptions of ecological interaction chains. This, in turn, highlights the need to build non-traditional alliances — among marine biologists and foresters, for example — to address whole ecosystems across political boundaries.

This past fall, McCauley, a graduate student, and DeSalles, an undergraduate, were in remote Palmyra Atoll in the Pacific tracking manta rays’ movements for a predator-prey interaction study. Swimming with the rays and charting their movements with acoustic tags, McCauley and DeSalles noticed the graceful creatures kept returning to certain islands’ coastlines. Meanwhile, graduate student Hillary Young was studying palm tree proliferation’s effects on bird communities and native habitats.

Palmyra is a unique spot on Earth where scientists can compare largely intact ecosystems within shouting distance of recently disturbed habitats. A riot of life — huge grey reef sharks, rays, snapper and barracuda — plies the clear waters while seabirds flock from thousands of miles away to roost in the verdant forests of this tropical idyll.

Over meals and sunset chats at the small research station, McCauley, DeSalles, Young and other scientists discussed their work and traded theories about their observations. “As the frequencies of these different conversations mixed together, the picture of what was actually happening out there took form in front of us,” McCauley said.

Through analysis of nitrogen isotopes, animal tracking and field surveys, the researchers showed that replacing native trees with non-native palms led to about five times fewer roosting seabirds (they seemed to dislike palms’ simple and easily wind-swayed canopies), which led to fewer bird droppings to fertilize the soil below, fewer nutrients washing into surrounding waters, smaller and fewer plankton in the water and fewer hungry manta rays cruising the coastline.

“This is an incredible cascade,” said researcher Rodolfo Dirzo, a professor of environmental science and senior fellow with the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment. “As an ecologist, I am worried about the extinction of ecological processes. This dramatically illustrates the significance of such extinctions.”

Equally important is what the study suggests about these cascades going largely unseen. “Such connections do not leave any trace behind,” said researcher Fiorenza Micheli, an associate professor of biology affiliated with the Stanford Woods Institute. “Their loss largely goes unnoticed, limiting our understanding of and ability to protect natural ecosystems.” McCauley put it another way: “What we are doing in some ecosystems is akin to popping the hood on a car and disconnecting a few wires and rerouting a few hoses. All the parts are still there — the engine looks largely the same — but it’s anyone’s guess as to how or if the car will run.”

By way of comparison, researcher Robert Dunbar, a professor of earth sciences and Stanford Woods Institute senior fellow, recalled the historical chain effects of increasing demands on water from Central California’s rivers. When salmon runs in these rivers slowed from millions of fish each year to a trickle, natural and agricultural land systems lost an important source of marine-derived fertilizer. These lost subsidies from the sea are now replaced by millions of dollars’ worth of artificial fertilizer applications. “Humans can really snip one of these chains in half,” Dunbar said.

How To Build An MLM Mailing List Quickly

A list of prospects that can be followed up with until they decide to take advantage of the benefits you can help them achieve or become your leads is known as an MLM mailing list. Having a constant flow of MLM leads is an important part of your network marketing business, so it is crucial that you build an MLM list as quickly as possible.

Using the internet is the best option if you want to build an MLM mailing list. Prospects who join your list via the internet give you their permission to receive mailings from you.

1. Build your MLM list by giving something away

It?s easier to get people?s information by giving away something that is high value to them and appears to be beneficial in some way towards some form of a solution to something they are looking for.

Whether your prospects are looking for a solution to a problem or an answer to some question, you will have to give them a reason to join you MLM mailing list. People aren?t going to give you their information just because. This means that you will have to offer them something highly valuable. Offering additional incentives and giving them away for free is a good way of building an MLM list. You can offer a free ebook or report relevant to the niche you are targeting, through your lead capture page.

2. Build your MLM list by using someone else’s list

Another way you can build your MLM mailing list is to use someone else’s list. However, you can only build your MLM list this way if you are acquainted with some other marketer. If you can manage to convince some other marketer to allow you to send an email to all the leads on their list, then you could end up building your MLM list rather quickly. Once those leads visit your lead capture page, they end up joining your MLM lists.

3. Build your MLM list by sending newsletter solo ads

This can be one of the most effective methods of building an MLM mailing list that is used by many network marketers. This strategy follows the same principle mentioned in step 2, but instead of sending an email out to another marketer’s MLM email list, you will be sending an email to a list of newsletter subscribers. Firstly, you will have to look for websites that send a newsletter to the subscribers via email. Make sure the newsletter is relevant to your niche. To send an email offer to their subscribers they might ask you to pay a minimal fee, but it will be worth it in the end.

While there are numerous other ways of building a MLM mailing list, but the strategies mentioned here require the least effort from you, apart from a little research.

Investing in a Quality Wastewater Treatment System

?

When you are out at sea, the one thing that you will not want to take for granted is a high quality wastewater treatment system, or you might end up wishing that you were back on land within the first few days of your trip. Before you make an investment into a wastewater treatment system, it is important that you take a few factors into account so that you can get your hands on the product that will best suit your specific situation. If you are going to be taking guests out onto the open sea, for instance, you will want to ensure that your system is able to handle the amount of waste produced by the people on board, and it will take you some time to conduct the appropriate research and pick the one that will serve your needs best.

?

One of the most efficient ways of obtaining a quality wastewater treatment system is to approach a company that specializes in these items and explain your needs to them.

The professionals will then take you through all of the options that they have available, and make suggestions with regards to the best one for your ship. If you have any questions with regards to the products that they sell, it is best to ask them during this time, since this will allow you the chance to compare all of their offerings to make a sound decision about your purchase.

?

It is important to contact a manufacturer that will supply you with a high quality wastewater treatment system, since you will probably only want to make this type of purchase once. If you should experience problems with the product at a later date, the professionals should be able to come out to your ship to determine what the issue is; if a part needs to be replaced, they will then complete the repairs, and you can continue making use of the system as you usually would.

?

The best thing about investing in a quality item is the fact that this means you will not have to continuously purchase a new system to ensure that you and your guests are comfortable on board your ship. Your wastewater treatment system is one of the most important assets that you will have when you are out at sea, so make sure that you invest your money into an item that will last.
