15、ake sure his 15-year-old son wasnt hurt. As he searched the chaotic tableau of sobbing teens and panicked parents, Williams called a girl: “De you know where Andy is?“ Her quiet reply: “With the cops.“Until that moment, Williams apparently had no idea what his son, Charles Andrew, had planned to tha
16、t morning when he left their small apartment in this town northeast of San Digoo. But, sadly, others had a clue. The teen had bragged to several friends and at least one adult, 29-year-old Chris Reynolds, about his scheme to shoot his classmates. Some of his friends thought it was simply bluster fro
17、m a kid. Yet two of them were so concerned that they patted Williams down that morning. They didnt go far enough to find his fathers 22-caliber, long-barrel revolver in Williamss yellow backpack.Bombs and hit lists. Even before last weeks shooting, the collective culture had been changing. Last mont
18、h, potential disasters were foiled in schools from New York to California because students reported their concerns. Just days after the Santana High shooting, students tipped off police who arrested a handful of kids at several other California schools for allegedly making threats that included plot
19、ting to put a bomb on a teachers desk and drawing up a hit list of 16 students. “The climate is changing where young people are more willing to report threats, but that change is happening slowly.“ says Ron Stephens, executive director of the National School Safety Center. “Santee is certainly a les
20、son in that. We must continually work with young people about why it is in their interest to come forward.“Thats tough task, considering children are taught almost from kindergarten, not to tattle. No one wants to be an informer, but as Tom Hall, San Diego schools security chief, says: “Weve got to
21、get kids to understand that there is a proper time to tell. “ A recent Secret Service study found that in more than three quarters of school shootings, the attacker told someone, almost always a peer, about his plan beforehand. Only twice out of 37 eases did that kid tell an adult. “We as lay people
22、, kids and adults, don t need to make the decision about whether someone is joking,“ says Marceta Reilly, superintendent of the Kansas school district where a student last mouth turned in three teens for an alleged plot to blow up the school. “It is important to turn it over to someone who can inves
23、tigate it properly.“Overall, school violence is down, despite the outpouring of high-profile shootings that often produce imitators including many after Santee. No one wanted to take any chances in Elmira, N.Y., where the entire town has worked to prevent another Columbina. Last month, students noti

After students told school authorities, an officer found 18 pipe bombs and a sawed-off shotgun in a green bag and a 22-semiautomatic pistol folded in his trousers. “Weve tried to foster a new attitude: This is not snitching“, says Chemung County Di

But others said he was deeply troubled, disturbed by the separation from his mother, who had been divorced from his father for abo
26、ut 10 years. The youngster was also a frequent target of bullies. Exports believe the Santee shooting will fuel a redoubling of anti-bullying efforts that began after Columbina. Colorado is working on a bill that would require all schools to develop bully-prevention plans. A new law requires New Ham
27、pshire school boards to adopt anti-bullying policies. Oregon is considering a bill that would ban bullying.Some parents and civil libertarians may worry that the Santee shooting will renew zeal for Columbina-inspired, but much criticized, zero-tolerance policies.

32、nce is strongly banned in schools.BTEXT B/BAt 5:30 in the morning we are deep in a dark forest on an island in the middle of the Panama Canal. Weve been out walking for only 15 minutes, but Im already soaked in sweat.As a colleague and I plod along, my head lamp picks out the occasional trail marker
33、, but mainly the light seems to operate as a major local landmark for insects. Several mosquitoes have already discovered the delights of the soft parts of my ears, while others are slowly working their way between my socks and legs to be discovered later after much scratching. Suddenly a deranged r
34、oaring and barking starts 25m above my head and builds chaotically and intensity before slowly quieting after several minutes. Similar mad choruses respond from other areas of the forest. Hearing the dawn cacophony of howler monkeys always given me a deep sense of pleasure - the joy of being back in
35、 the tropics. It may be a hot, humid place where insects, plants and fungi rule, but the phone and fax wont find me here. Im free to watch monkeys, collect data and try to tease out a tiny piece of the great puzzle of lifes diversity.That diversity faces disaster, and every biologist has a horror st
36、ory to tell. Each year many of us return to the field after a cold winters teaching to discover that-our research sites have been destroyed and our experiments and study organisms have disappeared. We can see with our own eyes the mass extermination of the worlds animal and plant life as forests, sa
37、vannas and wetlands give way to farmland, housing developments and shopping malls. If current rates of habitat destruction continue, it is likely that we will condemn from a quarter to half the worlds currently living species to extinction within the next 100 years.Nowhere is life more diverse than
38、in tropical rain forests, and nowhere is the assault on life more tragic. Scientists are only beginning to understand the complex webs of interdependencies among various species. Increasingly, ecological research in the tropics in revealing how dependent humans are on forests for a wide variety of i
39、mportant services, particularly regulation of the earths atmosphere and climate. We may owe as much to the residents of the rain forests as we do our cattle, corn and wheat.Much of our understanding of tropical-forest biology comes from research on Barro Colorado Island, a 1,600-hectare dot in the m
40、iddle of the Panama Canal. B.C.I. , as the island is affectionately known to the biologists who work there, is covered with dense tropical forest, which was declared a nature reserve in 1923. The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute facility on B. C. I. , established in 1946, is a Mecca for tropi
41、cal biologists, who work to uncover the complex links between the large variety of species that live in forests and to demonstrate the importance of these woodlands as sources for medicines and other products of incalculable value to humans.The atmosphere at the research station is probably similar
42、to that at Los Alamos, New Mexico, in the 1940s when a group of the worlds top physicists were cloistered together trying to design the atom bomb. The justified the creation of a nuclear weapon by assuming it would provide the ultimate deterrent that could be used to reinforce peace in a democratic
43、world. Similarly, the longer-term future of human civilization on earth is dependent on the earths forests, which act as its lungs, livers and kidneys. That is why scientists on B. C. I. are struggling to unravel the mysteries of the forests before they disappear.At first the forest in Panama just l
44、ooks like a wall of green. Then you start to notice differences between plant species, and the sheer diversity seems suddenly overwhelming. Variations between plants are often subtle and only apparent for the short period of time that a species bears flowers or fruit. Slowly you begin to identify sp
45、ecific types and family groups such as the palms, heliconias and fig trees. Yet each of these families contains many species, every one of which has a subtle variation on an evolutionary theme that has found a slightly different way of competing for limited light and nutrients, or escaping from pred
46、ators and diseases.The fig trees provide a spectacular example of the complex interaction of species that enables forests to function. Of more than 1,000 species of figs in the world, at least 20 are found in Panama. Most tree species on B. C.I. bear fruit only seasonally, producing an abundance of
47、it at the beginning of the rainy season in May and June. This is all consumed by variety of birds, monkeys and bats, and by the end of the rainy season, in October through December, there is a major shortage of food in the forest. Saving the day are the fig trees, which may bear fruit at any time.Wh
48、y do fig trees follow a different fruiting strategy from that of other trees? It turns out that figs are pollinated by tiny insects called fig wasps. The female wasp enters the fig flowers when they appear, lays her eggs and then dies. In the process she brings in fig pollen, which fertilizes the flower and spurs development of the fig fruit. Meanwhile the wasps eggs develop within the flower into larvae, which feed on some of the fruit before metamorphosing into adults and mating within the frui
