Organic food: no better for you, or the planet
For organic farmers, bad news comes in twos this week. Organic crops seem to be no more nutritious than conventional ones, and are not necessarily great for the planet either.
Organic farming eschews synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, and . of Stanford University in California and colleagues put together 237 studies comparing organic and non-organic food. They found little evidence that organic food was more nutritious. Conventional foods contained more pesticides but were within permitted limits (). Meanwhile, have been questioned by Hanna Tuomisto of the University of Oxford and colleagues, who reviewed 109 papers. Organic farms were less polluting for a given area of land, but were often more polluting per unit of food produced. They did have better soil, though, and housed more species (Journal of Environmental Management, ).
"An 'organic' label is not a straightforward guarantee of the most environmentally friendly product,says Tuomisto. She advocates integrated farming, combining a range of
existing systems.
"Advanced breeding technologies, combined with the best farming practices from organic and conventional systems, could have the best overall impact in terms of improving crop yield and sustainability,says , director of the John Innes Centre in Norwich, UK

The young mechanic had lost the sight in his right eye during the battle of Daraya. Still, he searched for his missing father for three days, combing destroyed buildings and piles of rubble. He finally found the old man dead on the outskirts of town, at a farm with three other bodies, boys aged 16-20. "Why kill an old man?he asks. He is not the only one to ask the question. An estimated 500
people were slaughtered in Daraya over two and a half days at the end of last month. Rebels and the government accuse each other. Left behind is a town destroyed beyond recognition.
According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), which has interviewed Daraya residents and analysed satellite images of the battle, evidence points towards government responsibility for the killings, although it is not clear whether uniformed men or the shabiha militia carried out the killings after the town was bombed by helicopters and shelled.
"What we don't know yet is who did the dirty work, the executions –whether it was men in uniform or shabiha,says HRW's Ole Solvang. "We're still investigating." Witnesses speak of intense shelling from helicopters with mounted machine guns, mortars from a government military airport near the Mezzah neighbourhood, and snipers in buildings in the north of the city. They speak of bodies lying in the street, and groups of civilians hiding underground only to be found and summarily killed.
Shortly after the events, in an extraordinary act of indecency, the pro-regime television journalist Micheline Azar, entered the town to interview the dying, sticking her microphone in front of their bloody and wounded faces. She said the killings were "in the name of freedom". Not even children were spared her intrusions.
"It was horrific,says Reem, a Daraya resident. "She was a vulture. She went through the crowds talking to the wounded as though she was floating on water, as though there was not this scene of hell in front of her."
Ghost town
Two weeks on, Daraya still stinks of death. A poor Sunni suburb south of Damascus, it had been well known for furniture-making, and for its peaceful resistance before the conflict. Now it is a ghost town of shattered glass and broken graveyard walls, bombed vegetable shops and decapitated blocks of flats. Rank rubbish is piled on corners, uncollected. There is the unmistakable smell of rotting corpses that have not yet been removed from houses. A lone bicyclist makes his way awkwardly through the rubble and debris. The town is still and lifeless. There is no way to confirm the death tally. It ranges from opposition reports of more than 1,000 to government figures of several hundred. The local gravedigger says he has already buried 1,000, and more bodies are found eve
ry day. The mounds of freshly dug, moist earth in the cemetery in the middle of town look like they harbour at least several hundred dead.
A woman who comes to the graveyard each day to check a list for news of her sons says: "We are still searching houses and
abandoned ruins trying to find them.She says everyone waits for the hour when the gravedigger arrives and there are new bodies to identify.
In the ashen aftermath of war, it is impossible to imagine what this place looked like before, or what really happened here. It was first bombed, the centre flattened, before house-to-house operations were conducted. Some witnesses say men and boys were killed at close range with guns; others say knives were used.
"The problem is there is no food, no water, no electricity,says one family. Outside, two children play amid the rubble. "There's nothing to do, no one to play with,"
says six-year-old Rauda. "My friends left when the bombing started. I stayed close to my mother and held her. But she said we were not leaving."
Many fear becoming refugees as much as they fear the violence. "Would you leave your home?asks Rashid, who owned a shop, now destroyed. "Would you take your life apart? We leave with our heads high, or we don't leave at all."
The attack on Daraya started on 20 August and intensified two days later. The Free Syrian Army withdrew from the town on 23 August and the army entered the next day. "The shelling
started at 7.30am. There is no sound more frightening than rockets,says Rashid.
People hid in basements, and when the army arrived some were pulled out and killed outside; others were sprayed with machine-gun fire, Rashid says. "We had some informers who pointed out where opposition people were. They let the women run away but they shot the men one by one. In some cases, they went into the basement and killed old men and children –just because they were boys.His wife's four brothers and three nephews were among the victims.
Secret graves
A woman called Umm Hussein says she was rushing to escape the bombardment with her young daughter and 20-year-old son when a truck went by with soldiers shouting: "With our life, with our blood we will fight for Bashar.Umm Hussein and her children did not make it in time: they were stopped and, while she and her daughter were spared, her son was shot and his body taken out of town. There are rumours that some victims are being moved to secret graves, in an eerie reprise of Srebrenica.
But other people say the regime soldiers fed them and provided medical attention to the wounded. "They gave us bread,one man says. "Not all of them were monsters.Will Daraya be a
turning point in the conflict? Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN's special envoy, sent to the region after Kofi Annan's resignation, has said he is under no illusions about the difficulty he will face. Three months earlier the Houla massacre was also called a turning point. "We are waiting for God, waiting for victory,says Rashid, looking around his wasted street. "But victory doesn't seem very soon now."

University flops beds test as students head to hotels
The Travelodge in St Mary's Street
By JEN LAVERY
Published on Friday 7 September 2012 12:01
FORTY first-year students at Edinburgh University are to be given emergency accommodation in Travelodge hotels and makeshift dormitories after the institution again failed to honour guarantees on housing.
Full-time first-year undergraduates living outside the city are normally guaranteed a place in university accommodation for their first year, provided that they submit their application to Accommodation Services by the set deadlines.
However, days before the start of term, the university has admitted that alternative
accommodation has had to be sourced, despite the university purchasing more than 1000 beds in privately-operated student residences such as Unite.
This is the second year running the university has faced problems finding accommodation for first-year students.
Common areas in Pollock Halls will now be used to house 17 students in “mini-dorms”, while a further 23 are to be housed in Travelodge hotels at Cameron Toll and St Mary’s Street.

篇三：简短的英语新闻
(Reuters ) - Queen Elizabeth's 90-year-old husband spent Christmas Day in a hospital bed after successful surgery to clear a blocked heart artery, missing the royal family's celebrations at its rural Sandringham estate in eastern England.
Buckingham Palace said Prince Philip, Britain's longest serving consort, was in "good spiritswhen the Queen and other royals visited him on Saturday, but he was also said to be eager to leave.
Members of the royal family were expected to make another trip
to the Papworth heart and chest centre near Cambridge to see Philip after their traditional Christmas lunch on Sunday, British media reported.
The prince will probably have to spend most, if not all, of the Christmas holiday period in hospital to give doctors time to monitor his recovery from the minor operation on Friday night, after he suffered chest pains in the run-up to Christmas.
Despite his age, he has been in generally good health this year, seeing through a hectic schedule which included the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, a jaunt to and a visit from U.S. President Barack Obama. On turning 90 in June, he said he was looking forward to slowing down a little, but the Queen, 85, celebrates her 60th year on the throne in 2012, which will involve a busy tour across Britain and several other high-profile engagements. The royals, including newly-weds Prince William and Catherine, attended a Christmas church service at Sandringham on Sunday. The family appeared relaxed, some smiling and chatting as they entered the church. Well-wishers waited outside in mild winter air to catch a glimpse of the royals as they arrived. (Reporting by Matt Falloon; Editing by Alistair Lyon) Sun Dec 25, 2011 Questions:
1,When did William and Catherine married?
They married in 2011.
2,Does Prince Philip can really slow down in 2012?
No,because the Queen will celebrate her 60th year on the throne in 2012，andhe will be some busy!
