Historic Psychiatry original miscellaneous documents
These are a variety of handwritten and typed letters, lectures, autographs, news clippings, biographical information, images and sketches, court documents, and other documents related to the history of psychiatry. These documents are housed in four boxes and the folders within are arranged alphabetically by surname or title, and they are included in the larger collection of historic psychiatry material in the Menninger Archives. Authors come from such fields as medicine, religion, prison and other reform and advocacy movements, politics, the military, etc. The documents themselves sometimes provide significant information, and sometimes they were collected because their authors were significant historical figures. Some of the individuals found in Box 1 include James Mark Baldwin, Ludwig Binswanger, Eugen Bleuler, Jean-Martin Charcot, Elizabeth Fry, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Carl Jung. Some of the individuals found in Box 2 include Alfred Adler, Robert Frost, and Washinton Irving. This box also includes a 68-page handwritten notebook by Dr. W.W. Reed entitled "Reminiscenses About the Treatment of the Insane." Some of the individuals found in Box 3 include Amariah Brigham and Frederick van Eeden. This box also includes a correspondence file (1883-1888) on Ellen Kehoe, a patient at the Worcester Lunatic Hospital in Massachusetts, and a series of drawings from the 1920s and 1930s by a Belgian patient suffering from paranoia named Andreas at the Kankakee State Hospital in Illinois. The drawings were donated by Dr. J.B. Gier, formerly of the Topeka Veteran's Administration Hospital, who knew the patient and encouraged his work. Box 4 includes a miscellaneous folder regarding insane asylums and contains legal documents, postcard images, and receipts for services. Languages include English, German, French and Italian, and transcriptions or translations follow some of the documents.preview

Uh-Oh, What Have I Done?
You know what I'm talking about, right? Not the contractions, not the pushing, but the...
That's right, I'm scared of what will (hopefully) weigh less than 10 pounds, fit in the crook of my arm, and cause more ruckus at night than any college party.
Can I handle it all?
While theoretically, one would think that after having three other babies in the past five years that I would feel totally and completely prepared to tackle life with a newborn again — it actually happens to be just the opposite. Instead of feeling confident in my skills, I am questioning them, and instead of feeling "ready," I am feeling, well, slightly panicked.
I find myself wondering things along the lines of, What if the other three were all a fluke? Maybe I am actually a horrible mother. Will this kid be the one to do me in?
Maybe it's because this time around, I know exactly what I'm in for and how life will change with a little one once again. It's ironic, really, in a way, that I found myself unexpectedly expecting a fourth baby just when my third child was gaining some semblance of independence and the other two girls were entering school. My career was taking off and my first book had just been released. As my husband is fond of saying, just when it felt like we could breathe again, along comes another baby.
Is four too many?
I have to admit that lately, I've been feeling a little bit embarrassed about our family size. Every trip out in public seems to bring out interesting looks and elbow nudges from my fellow shoppers and restaurant-goers. Is it so unusual that a woman should produce four children in six years? Is it unfeminist to have so many kids? Why does everyone act like I must be a Duggar? Can't we all accept that families come in all shapes and sizes and leave it at that?
It's not always easy to admit, but I am a little scared of having four children, simply because I feel frozen in a no-man's land of before baby. You know, how life gets divided into pre-baby and after-baby, because literally everything about my life will change in T-minus four months and counting?
There's a lot to think about. School runs and pick-ups, grocery shopping, work schedules, and although it may sound shallow, even exercise for me, because mama knows she is not going to be looking her best after a summer pregnancy. And deep down, sometimes I wonder if I can handle it all.
It's not forever
And although part of me is a bit scared that I won't be able to handle it all, another part of me knows that it's going to be just fine. That I will look back at this time in my life and shake my head fondly at the craziness, the sleepless nights, and the sheer number of tantrums that once made up my days. But then I think forward, to a full house and a Thanksgiving table that will never be lacking, and I can't help but smile.
The truth is, this stage in my life is not forever. I am not "just" the mom with the bunch of little kids. I am also a writer, a wife, a woman in my own right. My kids will not be little forever, and I can cherish every moment, wish it would go faster, and pull my hair out at times, but whatever way I choose to get through it, as the saying goes, this too shall pass.
Because four might seem like too much at times for a tired, nervous mother.
But deep down, I think she knows that four is just right.

Snow Leopard Rails Dev Setup Guides
Posted on 03/05/2010
You can never have too many.
Much like every new version of OSX, there have been a plethora of "How to install BLANK on Snow Leopard" blog posts and walk-throughs detailing all the little tips and tricks around how to install some tool or piece of software. Having a lot of options is awesome, but in the words of the great Biggie Smalls, "mo' blog posts, mo' problems".
That IS how it went, right?
Anyway, with all of these walk-throughs, how do you know which ones are good, and which one just suck. Well, you don't really...
So here's a list of a few [confirmed] valid and useful dev setup walk-throughs:
First, this is actually a series of posts, as opposed to one single write-up. Actually, its not even a series of posts. Its just the search results for 'Snow Leopard' on the Hive Logic site. So really, its only the first 3-5 posts that matter.
This is the route that I personally followed after a fresh install of Snow Leopard, and I had everything up and running in no time.
Next, Robby On Rails did a thorough and entertaining post on Snow Leopard Rails dev env setup, or SLRDESU for short. Acronyms make everything better (AMEB). I don't know about you, but Robby's older post about getting setup with Passenger came in handy for me on more than one occasion.
His latest post covers everything from start to finish, and he even included a few video to pass the time while waiting for binaries to build and whatnot. I haven't personally used this walk-through, but based on my previous experience with Robby's posts, and the recommendation from coworkers, I'm sure it'll get you where you need to be.
Another noteworthy mention comes from the guys over at Thoughtbot, the makers of such wonderful tools as Shoulda, Paperclip, and Factory Girl. Their robot-laden guide goes beyond just Rails/dev-related stuff, and covers the likes of several generally useful OSX tools. Things like Quicksilver, Fluid, and Firefox/Firebug.
This is another one that I haven't personally used, but I think we can trust the guys over at Thoughtbot. After all, their company reputation depends on it!
So there you have it. Three different hand-holding recipes for getting you set up on Snow Leopard. If you haven't upgraded yet, what're you waiting for? Get to it!

A seven-year-old school girl from England whose parents were murdered in a shooting spree during a family holiday in the French Alps has spoken to police.
Zainab al-Hilli was shot and so brutally beaten during the attack that doctors placed her in a medically induced coma.
She has since regained consciousness and was able to hold a brief discussion with officers in France, sources close to the investigation have said.
Zainab is seen as a key witness to the horrific attack that left her parents and grandmother dead.
Saad al-Hilli, 50, was killed in the family car alongside his dentist wife Iqbal last Wednesday in a remote spot close to Lake Annecy.
Mrs al-Hilli's mother also died in the shooting along with Sylvain Mollier, 45, a French cyclist who apparently stumbled across the shooting.
Zainab's younger sister Zeena, four, who survived by cowering behind her mother, has flown back to Britain with carers.
While she is unable to shed much light on the murders, French police believe Zainab could provide them with crucial details to help piece together what happened.
A source said: "They have been able to speak to her but this was just an initial meeting. They could not go into any detail and the child was very tired. It was not permitted for the discussion to go any further."
Police must now wait for a green light from medics before they can engage the girl in a more lengthy discussion when she is expected to be asked about her memories of the attack.
The spotlight in the criminal investigation has turned on the al-Hilli family home in Claygate after police identified items of concern and called in a bomb disposal squad from the Royal Logistic Corps.
Neighbouring properties were evacuated as experts examined the mock-Tudor house but officers later said that the unidentified items were not hazardous.

TORONTO - Becoming the first openly gay premier in Canada is "historic" and "exciting," but it shouldn't overshadow her role in governing the country's most populous province, Ontario Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne said Sunday.
The premier-to-be said she feels a "special responsibility" to young gay people who are looking for a more accepting world, but she's not a gay activist and doesn't plan to spend the next few months talking about her sexual orientation.
"It is important to me that young people and people who are frightened see the possibilities," she said. "And if I can help people to be less frightened, then that's a wonderful, wonderful thing."
But for her, the real historic moment is becoming the sixth woman premier in Canada.
"We've wondered about why we haven't had a higher percentage of women in legislatures and in Parliament," she said. "Well, maybe now we're reaching a critical mass."
Wynne's victory as Ontario's Liberal leader and next premier is a significant historic moment for the country, said Helen Kennedy, executive director of Egale Canada, a national lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered human rights group.
But having an out, progressive woman to lead the province is something to be proud of too, she said.
"It sends a strong message to those young kids who are cautious and nervous about their own journey with respect to their sexual orientation and gender identity, that you can do it if you're true to yourself," Kennedy said.
It's also important for the parents of LGBT children to know that their kids can be and do whatever they want, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, she added.
It's a "giant leap forward" at a social and cultural level for Ontario, said Bryan Evans, a politics professor at Toronto's Ryerson University.
"But at the end of the day, I think issues of identity are secondary to 'Are we electing somebody who can do the job and move Ontario forward in a difficult time'," he said.
Wynne, 59, was married to a man and had three children before she came out at the age of 37. She is now married to her longtime partner, Jane Rounthwaite.
While her sexuality wasn't a secret at Queen's Park and Wynne didn't shy away from it, it wasn't something she spoke about publicly in her work as a cabinet minister.
She didn't shrink from questions Sunday about a new sexual education curriculum for elementary schools, saying she intends to revamp it nearly three years after some controversial changes forced Premier Dalton McGuinty to put it on hold. But she'll consult with parents and education groups in putting a new curriculum together.
Homophobia always comes up in her campaigns and did in this one too, with a Toronto newspaper editorial asking if Ontario is ready for an openly gay premier.
The question is posed to her as an electability issue, but it underestimates Ontarians to assume that sexual orientation is going to determine how they vote, she said.
And Ontario is ready for a gay premier, Wynne told Liberal delegates in a rousing speech Saturday at the leadership convention.
"The province has changed, our party has changed. I do not believe that the people of Ontario... hold that prejudice in their hearts," she told the crowd.
Wynne also thanked Rounthwaite in her victory speech Saturday for being "on the front line" during the gruelling three-month campaign, as the crowd erupted in cheers, chanting "Jane! Jane! Jane!"
Wynne may have a difficult road ahead of her, said Kennedy.
"I'm not naive enough to think that homophobia and transphobia are still not alive and well in Ontario and around the country," she said. Wynne can work around it, but she'll need a lot of support from all the opposition parties.
But Wynne, who's served as minister of education, aboriginal affairs, municipal affairs and transportation, also has a solid reputation as a politician who can prevail even when the odds are stacked against her.
The former school trustee and Harvard-trained mediator beat a Conservative cabinet minister when she was first elected to the legislature in 2003. Then in 2007, she trounced Conservative leader John Tory on his own turf in the Toronto riding of Don Valley West.
Despite trailing in second place behind her rival Sandra Pupatello in the leadership race, Wynne managed to pull ahead at the convention and win.
Wynne rose to the top job because of her ability to lead and who she is as a person, Kennedy said.
"I think the first thing that people will judge her on is her ability to get the job done," she said.
"I think she will be judged ... on her policies, before they will judge her on her sexual orientation. It is a part of who she is, but it's one part."

>> Monday, January 19, 2009
Dates: 17-18 January 2009, Saturday & Sunday
Venue: Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru
Occasion: 'Annual' meet-up with my very close friends, Mabel & Fern
17 January 2009, Saturday
The bus left Puduraya at least 20min late!!! *bummer!!* I arrived at the Terminal Larkin, Johor Bahru, around 1.45am...wergh...the bus that I took was actually quite fast already, but somehow we still took more than 4 hours to arrive at JB :( Super sad la...silly bus stopped once at Yong Peng & a few more times along the way to the terminal to drop people off *sigh* The ride was one of the most horrible ones- boring, smelly!! & noisy (the bus)...I've been taking that same bus company since years, each time I travel from KL to JB, but this bad experience kinda puts me off & I may never take the same bus company again *wergh*
Anyways, meeting up with Mabes & Fernie was all good :) The weekend was SUPER relaxing, yet a blast of a time... :D Uncle Victor, Mabes' dad commented 'bout our weekend: "Eat, eat, eat...that's all you girls do throughout the weekend..." I can't deny that truth :P
The first thing that we had when I arrived in JB past midnight- McD's!
We talked 'til the cows come home' after I arrived...and knocked off only around 4am or so :D Siaoness...and woke up only around 11am! Hohoho...the latest I've ever woken up this year ;) The 1st agenda of the day-> BRUNCH! Oh yeah...there's nothing else as good as fooooood *drools* Beef noodles at Cathay it was!
This beef noodles is just as good as the Seremban market one...no doubt it's different in terms of taste & gooey-ness of the sauce, but both are great nonetheless :D Beef slices were tender, beef "whatever else" were juicy, & overall, the noodles was yummilicious! I could eat a large bowl of it!! *lol* But this beef noodles are quite costly le...RM6 for a regular & RM7 for a large!! Eekk....
The other dish that we ordered was the "lou ngap" (duck cooked in soya sauce). Excellent :D Need I say more?
The awesome threesome, as we call ourselves, spent the rest of the day watching a movie (License to Wed...cheesy, but hilarious!), playing the piano/jamming, singing, & chatting...ah...nice nice nice :) *I miss my weekend! nostalgic...* After the movie, we walked out to the nearby Ice Kacang stall, for the all-time lovely ice kacang with chocolate sauce! *drools again* No ice kacang in PJ/KL or wherever else can compete with this ice kacang so far ;)
We'll always go to this one stall...there are several stalls selling the same kind of ice kacang, but this particular stall's is the best! Too bad I forgot to take a photo of the stall *sigh* Anyways, this stall is in the middle, & it sells taufu bakar, rojak, & other noodle dishes as well...
Taman Pelangi's Ice Jelly (RM2.50/bowl)
Dinner was at Sa Low Seafood Restaurant (where else? :P) It's THE place to go as 1. it serves good food 2. it's walking distance from the house 3. the service is fast. Fantastic. I love the fried squids there! I could finish up at least half the large plate of fried squids!! *lol* The restaurant is located directly opposite the ice kacang area!!
Here are several lovely dishes that we had:
Snapshots of the Awesome Threesome ;) (psst...i love you both, Mabes & Fernie!!)
Basically, after dinner, the 3 of us just chilled, did more catching up & spent time together, before the day closes. Fern had to head back to Singapore the night itself :( We really wished that we could spend more time together...we only get to do this max once a year! *sigh* What to do? The cow's (Mabes) in Aussie, the plant's (Fern) in Singapore, while the sheep/goat (your's truly) is still in Malaysia...
Mabes & I ended the night by watching "The Bucket List" & chatting til we knocked off. The movie was really moving...made us think of how we are spending every minute of our lives & how we would wanna make our lives worth-living. Saturday passed SO fast :(
18 January 2009, Sunday
Breakfast was nasi lemak & OTAK-OTAK!! *woot!!* We went to this place called Storia Cafe, opposite Pacific Mall, behind Wisma Nufri, in JB :) Awesome otak-otak...fresh some more :D
Too bad I didn't manage to get any photos as I forgot to bring my camera! Bleagh! See la...this is what happens when I've to wake up early for breakfast...sure forget something wan...but I managed to locate another blogger who blogged about this place & its food! Check it out here ;) I'm getting my sister to take some photos of the otak-otak that I bought home. It costs RM0.60/piece. Very yummy!
After breakfast, we attended church service at JB Wesley...it feels like a mini 'home-coming'...my once-a-year visit to this church...hahaha...there were so many familiar faces, but I just can't recall their names...how to recall when I'm only there once a year? *wergh* Oh yes, here I present to you the new church building!! LOVELY!
Before I left for KL again, we went for lunch at some restaurant, which once again I forgot its name....I go there every time I'm in JB, but ergh....The Kuey Teow Soup here is mmmmm....
I miss Mabes & Fern, & the families in JB :( *nostalgic* I'll be back in JB, most probably in March! That time, Mabes won't be around :( I'd be there with the TRAC MYF comm. though ;) Should be another fun time!

Canon announces Hybrid Image Stabilizer
In a July 22, 2009, press release, Canon U.S.A. announced the development of its Hybrid Image Stabilizer (IS), the first optical image stabilization technology that compensates for both angle camera shake and shift camera shake. Canon will feature this technology in its interchangeable single lens reflex (SLR) camera lenses planned for release at the end of 2009.
Camera shake occurs when a camera moves while its shutter is open and its image sensor is exposed to light. Several different preventative methods and corrective procedures have been introduced to compensate for errors caused by camera shake. In 1995, Canon introduced the world's first interchangeable SLR camera lens to feature optical image stabilization, a mechanism that compensates for optical camera shake, which is currently found in 21 Canon SLR lenses.
Canon's previous implementation of optical image stabilization works by using a floating lens element that is moved perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens using electromagnets. Vibration is detected using two angular velocity sensors, one to detect horizontal movement and the other to detect vertical movement.
Canon's newly developed Hybrid IS technology not only includes an angular velocity sensor that compensates for angle camera shake, as in its previous optical image stabilization lenses, but also includes an acceleration sensor that compensates for shift camera shake. Shift-based shaking occurs when a camera moves parallel to the imaging scene, which is more pronounced in macro photography and other close-range shooting.
Hybrid IS also employs a newly developed algorithm that synthesizes information from the two sensors to make optimal adjustments, thereby dramatically enhancing the effects of image stabilization during shooting, including macro shooting, which had proven difficult for conventional image stabilization technologies.
Canon is actively engaged in ongoing research and development of interchangeable SLR camera lenses incorporating Hybrid IS technology, and is aiming for the early commercialization and inclusion of the lenses in a wide range of products.
Further information about Canon's new Hybrid IS technology is found at Canon's website.

But will they ever solve the mystery of how Shaggy can hear a dog talk?
Deadline is reporting that Warner Bros. has appointed Randall Green to create a brand-new Scooby-Doo franchise. But will they use a CG dog? Yes, the answer is probably yes. I actually didn't hate the first live-action reboot with Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Isla Fisher, Linda Cardellini and Matthew Lillard—especially when they kept making fun of Scrappy Doo, who is the worst. So sure, this could be fun.

Microsoft Windows 3.1 was released in March of 1992. The release turned a DRAM memory sales depression into a hockey stick bonanza nearly overnight as adopter?s bought up additional memory modules required to make 3.1 perform decently. The aftermarket module makers suddenly became very important mass merchandisers for the memory manufacturers. That was the last time anyone in the memory business can remember whistling or humming "What a Difference a Day Makes"…, maybe until just recently.
OCZ Results – Surprising uptick in Corporate Use
OCZ?s recent operating results got my attention. Not so for the earnings report [they still lost money] but for the eye snagging 265% month to month Solid State Disk sales increase. Several other solid state disk suppliers are also reporting recent strong sales increases. One item that stood out in the conversations with the independent SSD manufacturers is the bit multiplier factor inherent in SSD sales. Prior to supplying SSD?s they sold DRAM memory modules which at best sold 4 GBytes of memory per end user application. Each SSD sold represents 128 to 256 GBytes sold on an end user application basis, a multiplying increase of 32 to 64 times. SSD manufacturers were quick to find that volumes involved greatly improved their purchasing negotiations with semiconductor memory suppliers and their operating margins. To top it off OCZ announced this week a manufacturing expansion in Taiwan that will take the company to 140,000 units a month!
Word on the street has it that Windows 7 is being installed with SSD drives in the corporate IT notebook computer space giving old technology a solid performance kick and saving IT department?s loads of money. Seems that maybe OCZ has fallen on a good thing and is making hay while the Sun doth shine.
Samsung Galaxy
Flash is in heavy demand – and Smartphones rose to #2 spot when it comes to NAND Flash consumption [Picture: Nokia N8 Motherboard]
Speaking with Samsung representatives on the Galaxy smartphone at CTIA?s 2010 Fall Exposition led to a discussion of the phone?s storage requirements. 16/32 G Bytes soldered on the main board with expansion to a maximum of 32 G Bytes via a microSD removable flash card. Though not the same bit usage numbers as note/netbooks the smartphone volumes are around 3 times as much placing them in the number two slot for flash consumption.
On Wednesday this week Apple Computer Inc. announced the MacBook Air 2 which contains a selection of solid state disk drives only. Apple decided to drop the hard and optical drives for solid state only. It only seems natural that Apple would next claim an "iPhone App" for the new Mac Book which would really muddy the water, but that?s reserved for a later report. The sudden increase of flash content in the new MacBook Air raises a very interesting aspect of using solid state disks and that?s "Instant ON". It would have been nice to be a fly on the wall at Apple HQ?s to overhear the argumentation that the company went through in making the new Mac "Spinless", but now it?s done and the market will decide. I think they made the right call for the device?s target market.
Instant ON
Instant ON creates a very real and obvious piece of differentiation from Wintel PC?s which are incapable of this feature currently. This probably won?t stop attempts at mimicking the feature [that will most likely rely on the inclusion of some form of a solid state system disk drive for accelerating the system boot sequence and begs for an industry standard]. Leaving hard drives behind is still a stretch but I believe the force has been disturbed and that the MacAir2 is the beginning of what eventually will be the norm.
Supply & Demand
The point of all this is that the demand for NAND flash memory is ramping while memory manufacturers remain unconvinced that it will last and are maintaining, or in some cases, ramping down capital equipment expenditures. Complicating the picture is that the memory producers are switching over from 50-40nm down to 30-25nm geometries. The increase in the number of devices per wafer start may be able to keep up with the accelerating demand but what is unclear is what the market price will be? Flash is around $1 per GByte currently and is expected to fall to around $0.50 if an oversupply situation develops as expected by several analysts in mid 2011. This favors SSD suppliers ahead of the cost curve that have volume purchase arrangements with cost protection covenants.
Sweet spot for NAND Flash is coming ahead of us – are the analysis correct and we're about to enger the "golden era" of solid state storage?
A contrary opinion to the above market explanation is that the worldwide production increase is insufficient to maintain the increase in demand rate resulting in a tightening of flash supply on a worldwide basis. Vertically integrated suppliers like Samsung would most likely insure that their Cell Phone divisions remain in supply [though they publicly deny that this would ever be the case]. Apple most likely would maintain supply [they are the number one flash user in the world at present]. The number of major flash suppliers is five and has resulted in a far less volatile pricing environment than experienced formerly with DRAM. The probability that they exhibit market synchronicity is also much higher. And all make their own branded solid state drives.
The end point under consideration is who?s getting a lead on the market nuances? Small fast and attentive drive makers or is it the large vertically integrated flash producers? Or is it large users like Apple who pursue the proprietary play?

SOFIA's target of opportunity: Comet ISON
NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) embarked on a "target of opportunity" flight recently that included study of Comet ISON. The lengthy mission was SOFIA's second opportunity to capture data on a comet, having previously studied Comet Hartley 2 in 2010. For the Comet ISON observations, the target was predicted to be – and was—very faint.
The observatory's flight path saw NASA's highly modified 747SP that carries a high-tech German-built 2.5 meter infrared telescope depart its home base at Palmdale, Calif., the evening of Oct. 24, 2013. It then flew east to Colorado, turned northeast and passed over the Canadian township of Pickle Lake, Ontario, then headed west over Medicine Hat, Alberta, where the observatory turned south and continued flying toward the United States. The comet ISON observations began south of the Canadian border, above the border of Idaho and Montana while SOFIA was flying at 43,000 feet altitude. The entire non-stop flight took nearly 10 hours to complete.
Comet ISON, a pristine chunk of primordial material from the Oort Cloud, recently entered the inner solar system for the first time and is heading toward a close encounter with the sun. On Nov. 28, 2013, Thanksgiving Day, Comet ISON will reach perihelion – the orbital point of closest approach to the sun—passing within 730,000 miles of the sun. The comet was discovered in September 2012, by researchers Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonk using the International Scientific Optical Network's (ISON) 0.4-meter (16-inch) telescope. It was then named in honor of the institution.
Comet studied at Three Wavelengths
Principal investigator Diane Wooden of NASA's Ames Research Center, who had proposed that Comet ISON be studied at three infrared wavelengths – 11.1, 19.7, and 31.5 microns, was aboard the Oct. 24 SOFIA flight. Two of those wavelengths, 19.7 and 31.5 microns, cannot be seen from Earth-based telescopes because water vapor in Earth's atmosphere blocks infrared energy from reaching the ground. The 31.5-micron wavelength was detected simultaneously with the 11.1 and 19.7-micron images.
The 11.1-micron wavelength allows the SOFIA observations to be tied to ground-based measurements with the Subaru Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and the Great Canary Telescope on the island of La Palma, in Spain's Canary Islands. Currently, there are no space-borne telescopes operating at wavelengths longer than 4.5 microns, making SOFIA the only telescope able to see these limited wavelengths.
Wooden, who made more than 75 flights on SOFIA's predecessor, the Kuiper Airborne Observatory, is working with a diverse team that will combine its numerous observations to better understand the composition of Comet ISON. Her observations aboard SOFIA were to measure the thermal emission from small and large dust grains in the coma of Comet ISON by measuring the mid-infrared wavelengths with the Faint Object InfraRed CAmera for the SOFIA Telescope (FORCAST) instrument. FORCAST collects infrared photons at wavelengths between five- and 40-microns.
"The long wavelength photometry, only possible from SOFIA, will allow us to measure the thermal emission from larger grains, which cannot be seen in scattered light at visible wavelengths," said Wooden. "Compared with smaller submicron grains, larger grains have cooler temperatures and emit at longer wavelengths.
"Only the FORCAST instrument on SOFIA can obtain the longer wavelength photometry measurements that sample the thermal emission of the larger grains," she explained. "By modeling the FORCAST photometry, we can constrain the grain size distribution and the dust mass. The mass and loss rate of the dust are one of the fundamental characterizations of a comet."
Making the Observations
"When we got onto the comet leg of the flight, we clearly saw the extended coma in the fine guiding camera but not in the wide-angle camera," Wooden said. "We acquired images at 11.1 microns and immediately saw the comet was faint. We then shifted to the 19.7-micron filter, where the comet was expected to be brighter.
"Soon we could see the comet was about as weak at 19.7 microns as it was 11.1 microns, consistent with the expectations of a typical grain-size distribution, Wooden continued. "If the 19.7-micron images had a stronger signal, that would have meant there were more, larger grains.
Wooden said these measurements are important because they serve as constraints or upper limits on the flux of thermal emissions from larger dust grains in the coma.
"Studying the dust's thermal emission from SOFIA enables us to derive the grain size, its distribution, and the mass of the amount of dust coming from the comet," she said. "This is a critical complement to studying the gases that are released, and thereby contributes significantly to understanding the origins of comets.
"We learned that the comet is dust-poor not only for small grains, as already known by the weak scattered light at visible wavelengths, but also for larger grains detectable at these mid-IR wavelengths from SOFIA," Wooden concluded.

Being an archaeological illustrator can be a very varied job through creating trench plans and digitising excavations to preparing figures for publication and display materials as well as drawing small finds and pottery. Often having to flick between any one of these things in one day.
I have to use a range of software including AutoCAD, QGIS and Adobe Creative Suite on a daily basis, and relish the chance to sit at the drawing board to draw some lovely pottery by hand.
At the moment I am drawing three bells from Hinxton Genome Project, one is highly decorated with diagonal lines and crucifixes.
Recently I have been getting to grips with geomatics and learning how to set out trenches and record features on site using the GPS. I got issued with my very first set of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and went to my first excavation (not bad for being in archaeology for nearly 10 years). The day consisted of finding my way through brambles, climbing over gates, and recording some very exciting Anglo-Saxon burials.

The Mediterranean Diet
Myths, Facts, and Health Benefits of a Mediterranean Diet
When you think about Mediterranean food, your mind probably goes to pizza and pasta from Italy, or hummus and pita from Greece, but these dishes don't exactly fit into any healthy dietary plans advertised as "Mediterranean." The reality is that a true Mediterranean diet consists mainly of fruits and vegetables, seafood, olive oil, hearty grains, and more—foods that help fight against heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, and cognitive decline. It's a diet worth chasing; making the switch from pepperoni and cheese to fish and avocados may take some effort, but you could soon be on a path to a healthier and longer life.
What is a "Mediterranean diet"?
Click to view
Pizza, gyros, falafel, lasagna, rack of lamb, and long loaves of white bread: all these foods have become synonymous with what we call "Mediterranean." We picture huge, three-hour feasts with multiple courses and endless bottles of wine. But over the past 50 years, Americans and others have altered the idea of Mediterranean fare, ramping up the meat, saturated fat, and calories at the expense of the region's traditional fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seafood, olive oil, small amounts of dairy, and a glass or two of red wine. What was once a healthy and inexpensive way of eating back then is now associated with heavy, unhealthy dishes that contribute to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.
After World War II, a study led by Ancel Keys of the Mayo Foundation examined the diets and health of almost 13,000 middle-aged men in the US, Japan, Italy, Greece (including Crete), the Netherlands, Finland, and Yugoslavia. Remarkably, well-fed American men had higher rates of heart disease than those in countries whose diets had been restricted by the deprivations of war. It was the men of Crete, arguably the poorer people of the study, who enjoyed the best cardiovascular health. This was due to physical labor and their unique food pyramid.
The Mediterranean Diet Pyramid is based on the dietary traditions of Crete, Greece, and southern Italy circa 1960 at a time when the rates of chronic disease among populations there were among the lowest in the world, and adult life expectancy was among the highest, even though medial services were limited.
Aside from eating a diet consisting mainly of fresh and homegrown foods instead of processed goods, other vital elements to the Mediterranean diet are daily exercise, sharing meals with others, and fostering a deep appreciation for the pleasures of eating healthy and delicious foods.
Myths and facts of a Mediterranean diet
Following a Mediterranean diet has many benefits, but there are still a lot of misconceptions on exactly how to take advantage of the lifestyle to lead a healthier, longer life. The following are some myths and facts about the Mediterranean diet.
Myth 1: It costs a lot to eat this way.
Fact: If you're creating meals out of beans or lentils as your main source of protein, and sticking with mostly plants and whole grains, then theMediterranean diet is less expensive than serving dishes of meat, cheese, and processed foods.
Myth 2: If one glass of wine is good for your heart, than three glasses is three times as healthy.
Fact: Moderate amounts of red wine (one drink a day for women; two for men) certainly has unique health benefits for your heart, but drinking too much has the opposite effect. Anything more than two glasses of wine can actually be bad for your heart.
Myth 3: Eating large bowls of pasta and bread is the Mediterranean way.
Fact: Typically, Mediterraneans don't eat a heaping plate of pasta the way Americans do. Instead, pasta is usually a side dish with about a 1/2-cup to 1-cup serving size. The rest of their plate consists of salads, vegetables, a small portion of meat, and perhaps one slice of bread.
Myth 4: If you follow the traditional Mediterranean diet then you will lose weight.
Fact: Those living on Greek islands don't enjoy good cardiovascular health just by eating differently; they walk up and down steep hills to tend to their garden and animals, often living off what they can grow themselves. Physical labor plays a large role.
Myth 5: The Mediterranean diet is only about the food.
Fact: The food is a huge part of the diet, yes, but don't overlook the other ways the Mediterraneans life their lives. When they sit down for a meal, they don't sit in front of a television or eat in a rush; they sit down for a relaxed, leisurely meal with others, which may be just as important for your health as what's on your plate.
Health benefits of a Mediterranean diet
A traditional Mediterranean diet consisting of large quantities of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, fish and olive oil—coupled with physical activity—reduces the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. More specifically:
Protecting against type 2 diabetes. A Mediterranean diet is rich in fiber, slowing down digestion and preventing huge swings in blood sugar.
Preventing heart disease and strokes. Refined breads, processed foods, and red meat are discouraged in a Mediterranean diet, and it encourages drinking red wine instead of hard liquor, which have all been linked to heart disease and stroke prevention.
Keeping you agile. The nutrients gained with a Mediterranean diet may reduce a senior's risk of developing muscle weakness and other signs of frailty by about 70 percent.
Reducing risk of Alzheimer's. Researchers speculate that the Mediterranean diet may improve cholesterol and blood sugar levels and overall blood vessel health—all factors that may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
Halving the risk of Parkinson's disease. In a diet containing high levels of antioxidants that prevent cells from undergoing a damaging process called oxidative stress, the risk of Parkinson's disease is practically cut in half.
Increased longevity. When there is a reduction in developing heart disease or cancer, as in the case when you follow a Mediterranean diet, there is a 20% reduced risk of death at any age.
How to make the change
If you're feeling daunted by the thought of changing your eating habits to a Mediterranean diet, here are some suggestions to get you started:
- Eat lots of vegetables. Try a simple plate of sliced tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and crumbled feta cheese, or load your pizza with peppers and mushrooms instead of sausage and pepperoni. Salads, soups, and crudité platters are also great ways to load up on vegetables.
- Change the way you think about meat. If you eat meat, have smaller amounts and leaner cuts. Put small strips of chicken on your salad, or add diced prosciutto to a whole-wheat pasta dish.
- Always eat breakfast. Fruits, whole grains, and other fiber-rich foods are a great way to start your day, keeping you pleasantly full for hours.
- Eat seafood twice a week. Fish such as tuna, salmon, herring, and sardines are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, and shellfish like mussels, oysters, and clams have similar benefits for brain and heart health.
- Cook a vegetarian meal one night a week. If it's helpful, you can jump on the "Meatless Mondays" trend of foregoing meat on the first day of the week, or simply pick a day where you build meals around beans, whole grains, and vegetables. Once you get the hang of it, try two nights a week. Be sure not to load up on cheese, though.
- Use good fats. Extra-virgin olive oil, nuts, sunflower seeds, olives, and avocados are great sources of healthy fats for your daily meals. Some vegetable oils higher in polyunsaturated fats—like sunflower, safflower, soybean, and corn oil—are more heart-healthy than the mostly monounsaturated fats in olive oil.
- Enjoy some dairy products. Try small amounts of cheese, and eat Greek or plain yogurt. You want to make sure to choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products.
- For dessert, eat fresh fruit. Instead of ice cream or cake, opt for strawberries, fresh figs, grapes, or apples.
Quick start to a Mediterranean diet
There is new, even stronger research backing up the Mediterranean diet as a way to prevent vascular disease. The diet includes generous quantities of olive oil, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and fish; limited portions of red meats or processed meats; and moderate amounts of cheese and wine. So how can you make the switch? Start with small steps, jump-starting your effort with these top five tips:
- Sauté food in olive oil, not butter.
- Eat more fruits and vegetables by having them as a snack, or adding them to other recipes.
- Choose whole grains instead of refined breads and pastas.
- Substitute fish for red meat at least twice per week.
- Limit high-fat dairy by switching to skim or 1% milk from 2% or whole milk.
|Instead of this:
|Try this Mediterranean option:
Chips, pretzels, crackers and ranch dip
Carrots, celery, broccoli and salsa
White rice with stir-fried meat
Quinoa with stir-fried vegetables
Sandwiches with white bread or rolls
Sandwich fillings in whole-wheat tortillas
Ice cream
Pudding made with skim or 1% milk
Also, consider adding sliced avocado to your sandwich instead of cheese, or forgoing the tomato sauce on your pizza. You can opt for egg whites or tofu rather than eggs, snack on olives or nuts instead of cookies, and have a glass of red wine instead of a mug of beer.

Laptop-case maker Targus just got a bit fancier.
Targus, the Anaheim, Calif.-based company known for its laptop and tablet cases, has acquired Sena Cases, another Southern California company that makes premium phone cases.
The 30-year-old company announced today that it had bought Sena for an undisclosed amount.
A spokesman for Targus said that Sena would continue to operate under its own brand name, and that Sena's co-CEOs, brothers Ramsey and Fevzi Oten, will continue to lead the company.
For Targus, buying Sena (pronounced "Senna") helps the company expand into the the phone accessory market, specifically high-quality cases. Until now, Targus has mainly focused on laptop and, more recently, tablet bags. Thirteen-year-old Sena Cases, on the other hand, makes fine leather and luxury smartphone cases (like the one I mention in this wallet-case roundup).
Last month, Targus made its own foray into phone accessories, with three different styles of cases for iPhone 5.

LEADING OFF: Gregorius hurt, Stanton in Miami, Felix starts
A look at what's happening around the majors Monday:
The Yankees will see how shortstop Didi Gregorius is feeling, a day after he bruised his left heel in a collision while beating out an infield hit. Gregorius was hurt when he tumbled over Toronto first baseman Kendrys Morales.
Gregorius is batting .270 with 22 home runs and 74 RBIs, and has 48 extra-base hits this season.
"It's something that we'll monitor over the next 24 hours, could potentially be a DL thing," manager Aaron Boone said.
Cubs pitcher Yu Darvish had another setback in his injury-interrupted year, increasing speculation he might be done for the season. Darvish lasted just one inning in his rehab start with Class A South Bend on Sunday.
Darvish has been sidelined by triceps and elbow injuries, and shook his right arm as he left the field. The 32-year-old is 1-3 with a 4.95 ERA for Chicago and has made just eight starts since signing a $126 million, six-year contract.
Indians ace Corey Kluber and Boston right-hander Rick Porcello start when Cleveland visits Fenway Park to begin a four-game matchup between AL division leaders. If either Kluber (15-6, 2.68 ERA) or Porcello (15-5, 4.04) get the victory, they would tie Washington's Max Scherzer and the Yankees' Luis Severino for the major league wins lead.
Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton plays at Marlins Park for the first time since Miami traded the 2017 NL MVP in December. Stanton played his first eight seasons with the Marlins, and led the majors with 59 home runs last year. Stanton has hit 32 this year for New York, giving him a career total of 299.
"It's going to be weird for sure walking in, going to the visitors' side," Stanton said. "But I am looking forward to it. It's a big part of my life, my time down there. It will be a cool experience."
Felix Hernandez returns to Seattle's rotation, a week after the only relief appearance of his career. The longtime Mariners ace (8-11, 5.62 ERA) was recently bumped to the bullpen after a series of shaky starts. He threw 5 2/3 innings of relief last Tuesday after James Paxton was forced to leave when he was hit in the pitching arm by a line drive. Hernandez will start in Paxton's place when the M's host Gerrit Cole (11-5, 2.71) and the Astros.
