Morsels for the mind – 24/5/2013
Every day we provide you with #SixIncredibleThingsBeforeBreakfast to nibble away at. Here you can fill your brain with the most intellectually stimulating "amuse bouches" from the past week – a veritable smorgasbord for the cranium. They're all here for you to load up your plate – this week's "Morsels for the mind". Enjoy!
Feather, fur & fin – birds, beasts, fishes, and the things they do
Dogs complete us. They bring us useful microbes. From the great outdoors.
Fear smells of kittens? It does if you're a mouse.
Don't deride cats for their curiosity. Emulate it.
Remarkable resilience. Chimpanzees are adaptive apes.
Prairie home companionship. Prairie dogs communicate by a unique language.
This gets the seal of approval. Seal pup's brains are already almost 70% of adult size.
Now this is hair raising! Circadian clock controls mouse hair growth rate. Could have implications for timing of radiation therapy for cancer.
Going around the bends. Do deep diving whales get the bends? The answer may leave you breathless.
One bamboo bonanza. When pandas are around bamboo is big business.
Well hello, grizzly bear tongue! He's got it licked.
With due caws, rooks are captivating corvids.
Penguins aren't in a flap about it. When they took on swimming, they jumped in with both wings, and gave up on the whole flying thing.
Here's a project that really hums along. Investigating hummingbird health & distribution with citizen scientists. A merger of awesomeness.
When things spring ahead, some birds are now being caught off guard.
The viper wants us to leaf it alone. It uses ultrablack-dellineated camouflage to hide amongst the leafy litter.
Location! Location! Location! For female poison frogs, that's all that matters when choosing a mate.
Now this is one bad test result. Human pregnancy test spread the devastating amphibian-killing fungus. And it's now found in all amphibians.
Baby guppies have it all sussed. They are remarkable with numbers.
These guys are discriminating diners. They remember bad eats. And they are little more than sacks of goo – sea slugs.
The eyes still have it. Even cave dwellers retain visual pigments.
Don't make a stink about. On average each person produces 0.5L of gas a day. Wait 'til you find out how we know this. Spoiler: Science!
Bugs' life – insects and other things that creep, crawl and otherwise delight
Hightailing it out of there. Springtails make remarkable leaps.
Came. Went. Coming. Nice interactive timetable/map of cicadas brood hatchings.
When cicadas get out and about, here's how they do it.
Crime does not pay. Not, at least, if you get caught by this plant-protecting ant, and you were stealing nutrients.
The key to ladybird success? Their attractive appearance? Nope. Invasive ladybugs pack a parasite that kills the competition.
Transformation time – the magnificent metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly. Provides nice view of what's going on inside. Gorgeous.
The smaller they buzz, the longer they build. One lengthy paper wasps nest.
Oh what a tussled web they weave. Argiope spiders are very cool.
Moths work a little molecular magic – converting a poison to a pheromone.
When they get it together, ants and acacias make a contract written with two proteins – an enzyme and an enzyme inhibitor. A catalysed coupling if ever there was one.
Flight of fancy. Literally. How dragonflies do their stuff. Amazing.
Beautiful botanicals – wonders of the photosynthesising world – that is, mainly plants
It's full of it. Rhubarb is a veritable chemical cornucopia.
Plants and ideas can share the same fate. They may be hopeful monsters.
Count on it. Plants' supernumerary genomes tell an interesting tale, but even those with minimal genomes, like the bladderwort, do amazing things.
Life's better when we go green – we've made lots of great scientific discoveries by studying plants.
Fossil finds – organisms of times past – dinosaurs and beyond
Dinosaurs departed with a trace. Trace fossils that is.
Once there was a living fossil, who left a fossil. An interestingly long-lasting ichthyosaur.
Now this is a mammoth undertaking. Literally. Figuring out the iconic prehistoric beast's demise from remnant tusks.
Bring 'em back alive? Not when they're already extinct, say the editors of Scientific American.
It's all relative, all the way down. It is. We're all related. Somewhere in our distant past.
Neanderthals were fast little suckers. Fossil evidence suggests they weaned early.
Still in fashion. Ancient ancestors decide to pull on clothing. What do we know about how this got started?
Give us a hand. It is, after all, something that makes us special.
A long term relationship. We and dogs go way back. And we may have been "domesticated" in the same way.
Microscopic marvels – smaller than the eye can see, but big in action – bacteria, fungi and viruses
You've got another immune system. It's the viruses you harbour. They protect you from bad microbes. Yes, really.
We are walking trellises in a microbial garden. Where we grow mushrooms. Lots and lots of fungal goodness.
A famine has given rise to a feast. The genome of the Irish potato famine-causing fungus provides insights into devastating crop disease. It's an incredible story.
It's getting around. By stealth. The fungal foe, Cryptococcus.
This all adds up to something. Microbial circuitry used to built an analogue calculator.
When you glow down to the woods today. You're sure to get a big biofluorescent mushroom.
Who's flus? Handy Venn diagram lets you know who catches what.
Every little genome has the devils inside. Talking about the retroviruses that lurk within here.
It's cold's comfort. Literally. The cold-causing rhinovirus prefers conditions that are…wait for it…cold.
Molecular machinery – the toils of the macromolecules of life – nucleic acids and proteins (and others)
Extract DNA with a cocktail recipe?! Well, maybe not, but you will have fun trying. Cheers!
Tweaking twins: how genetics, environment, and personal experience create unique individuals from identical twins.
When you're feeling old, you may want to blame it on your NF-kB. It's got a role in ageing.
So this is how one makes nice. You do it with an enzyme that makes strawberry aroma.
A nice little get together. Self-assembling nanoparticle is both beautifully designed, and effective.
Stressed for success? Vaccines, and other healthy stuff, may be more effective if you are a little bit stressed.
Earth, wind and fire – planet shaping – geology, meteorology, oceanography & the climate
Ship shaped. How down-to-earth movements, like shipping, make sky high cloud features.
Land ho! One of the longest continuous stretches of terra firma right here on Earth.
How do you shape a planet? Why, here's how!
Putting a good face on things. Facial recognition software finds faces in geographical features.
Star attractions – the final frontier, space
The wind whistles around Uranus. Yep, that never gets old.
In space, get-togethers are big, really, really big. (and are sometimes strung together with gas)
This stuff really gets around. Movements around Saturn, and orbits at the centre of the galaxy.
It sure does things with flare! Our super Sun.
There are times when a galaxy wheels about. With wheels within wheels.
Getting our just deserts. On Titan and right here on Earth. Remarkable similarities.
Just a little bit groovy. Titan's tiny topography.
The real hit parade. Cool record of meteorite impacts.
Far out! The best sounds in the universe…may be the sounds of the universe itself.
Forces of nature – big ticket items – cosmology, ecology, evolution, physics, mathematics, chemistry
The freakiest thing you will look at this week: Photons that do not exist at the same time can be entangled. Stop. Think about it. Think about it again. Amazing.
It's bloomin' beautiful. When nanoscale self-assembly takes root, chemistry seeds microscopic flowers, really gorgeous flowers.
If you want to go out for a spin, check out this explainer on electron spin, and then watch how it propagates in a magnetic avalanche. Cool!
Mined the time. The oldest water, minimally 1B years old, seeps deep underground.
Time flies when you're having chaos. A half century of the infamous theory.
Divided we stand. The awesome power of the golden ratio.
Save by zero. Nought is important.
Matters of mind – how we, and other animals, perceive our world and our place in it
See spot run. Why seeing a bunch of moving dots conjures up a dog in motion. Amazing.
See Spot think? fMRI may soon provide some insights into dog brain activity as it relates to canine cognition.
Embarking on a new dialogue. Dog apparently learns grammatical conventions.
Want to keep a memory pristine? The forget it. Paradoxically, recalling a memory runs the risk of rewriting it - incorrectly.
Not so special? When it comes to interesting frontal lobes, humans have some company.
Love is the drug? Does romance trigger addiction pathways? Hmm.
Sometimes people really sing the blues. Or the reds, or yellows. And even non-synesthetes can see that.
Behind the scenes – the workings of the museum – discovery and communication
Now this was exSciting! Scitable blog network launched ten, that's right 10, blogs this week. Watch them soar!
"If we don't recognise the politics of science, we will just get played by those who do" says Alice Bell. It can lead down a road of ruin for science.
"The chasm between science and society is wide and deep." We need to mind that gap.
Ways to bridge the gap:
Pop goes the science! Great interview with Kyle Hill on bridging science and popular culture.
Speaking of great interviews, Deborah Blum talked about the power of the science story with Matt Shipman.
The kids are alright. Engaging high school students in citizen science has great potential – to build climate models for example.
Great advice for scientists this week: How to write like a journalist. How to talk to journalists about work done by others, as beautifully explained by Ed Yong. (and a reminder about how to talk about your own work)
"What we learn about unicorns and zebras can help with horses too." That's why studying rare "orphan disease" is important. Really, really important.
When astronauts get down to earth, we learn about the gravity of gravity. While other earth bound scientists, like Ed Stone, look to the stars to understand out universe (beautiful post by Alexandra Witze). And others are concerned that the wheels may have some off of one of our ways to find exoplanets.
Virginia Hughes weighed in on the relationship obesity and health. Two brilliant pieces captured an issue with gravity, here and here.
Frequency. Distribution. Determinants. Data. Epidemiology encapsulated in 4 words. Beautiful.
Oh, to be a kid again. Today's science books for kids are phenomenal.
Depression can curtail some discoveries, but lead to others. This poignant, important post lays it all bare.
Does the vastness of the universe mean we're insignificant? No. No it doesn't. And that's amazing.
And finally, the answer to the question everyone asks: Why does orange juice tastes bad after you brush your teeth? Because science!

Two Jewish Thalidomide victims visited Parliament last week to witness the government's long-awaited apology to those who suffered the consequences of the drug's use 50 years ago.
Guy Tweedy and Nick Dobrick heard Health Minister Mike O'Brien express "sincere regret and deep sympathy" and confirm a £20 million package, worth around £40,000 each for more than 460 survivors and their families.
Mr O'Brien told the House of Commons the money, to be distributed by the Thalidomide Trust, would be used to meet the health needs of survivors.
"We acknowledge both the physical hardship and the emotional difficulties that have faced the children affected and their families as a result of this drug and the challenges that many continue to endure, often on a daily basis," he said. He praised Mr Tweedy and Mr Dobrick as having been "robust" in their seven-year campaign. Both men were born with shortened upper limbs as a result of being given the drug.
It is thought at least 1,000 children suffered severe deformities in the 1950s and 1960s.
Their mothers were given Thalidomide as a treatment for morning sickness or insomnia while pregnant.
Mr Tweedy, 47, a member of Harrogate Hebrew Congregation, said: "It was a fantastic moment. During the campaign, sufferers and their parents have died, and they will not benefit from the compensation."
The campaigners met Mr O'Brien after the announcement. Mr Tweedy added: "I said to him that many MPs had overlooked our case down the years, but he had done the right thing, and for that we thank him very much."

Pitching can win baseball games in the Foothill League.
It's clear that this has been a hitter's league this year, but a pitchers' duel at Golden Valley High went in favor of the Grizzlies on Wednesday in a 3-0 victory over Canyon.
Scott Barlow did a high-wire act, retiring Canyon with runners in scoring position in the second, fourth, fifth and seventh innings, earning his first high school shutout. He went the distance, allowing eight hits, hitting a batter, walking another and striking out six.
"I didn't have my best stuff," he said. "The defense did a fantastic job."
Both sides actually did a fantastic job.
Both Golden Valley (11-11, 6-6) and Canyon (6-16-1, 2-10) were the worst defensive teams in the Foothill League at the beginning of the season. Yet both teams have turned things around of late and played error-free baseball on Wednesday.
The difference on Wednesday was Barlow's ability to get himself out of jams and some timely hitting by Golden Valley.
The timely hitting was in the first and sixth innings.
Freshman Billy Fredrick led off the Grizzly first inning with a double, then took third on a fly ball. He scored on Kamran Young's single off Canyon pitcher Icezack Flemming to give Golden Valley a 1-0 lead.
The Grizzlies picked up two more runs in the sixth off an RBI double by Jon Granado and an RBI single by Anthony San Miguel.
Other than that, Flemming was outstanding.
In fact, the Canyon senior can make the argument that he's been the Foothill League's best pitcher over the last two weeks, having shut out Hart last Wednesday, breaking Canyon's 24-game Foothill losing streak.
"This was just everyone realizing we need to play better," Flemming said. "We didn't want (to play poorly) again. This game was close. We just didn't get any runs."
Flemming struck out six and allowed six hits and two walks in six innings.
Canyon was close to scoring on a number of occasions, but failed in one particular area — bunting.
The Cowboys were doubled up on a squeeze attempt and also missed two other bunts.
The fifth inning might have been the key moment of the game.
With runners on second and third, Barlow faced Patrick Roxbury, who was 2-for-2 coming into the at-bat, having attacked two straight Barlow fastballs.
Prior to the third at-bat, Golden Valley head coach Scott Drootin visited Barlow on the mound.
"We weren't going to let that kid beat us in that situation," Drootin said. "We weren't going to give him too much to hit."
Barlow gave him three straight cutters, which break more than the fastball.
Roxbury was out in front on the first two offerings, then grounded out on the third, ending the rally.
Barlow wasn't out of the woods.
In the seventh, he walked his first batter of the game, then hit Harry Bennett.
The junior pitcher then struck out the next three batters, ending the game.
"He does it to me on purpose," Drootin joked about Barlow. "He just wants to see me sweat."
Golden Valley remains the hottest team in the Foothill League, having won six of its last eight league games.
But Canyon showed on Wednesday that it still has some pride.
The teams end their season series on Friday at Canyon.

On his most memorable visit to Citizens Bank Park, Mike Trout never made it inside the stadium.
Trout was a senior at Millville High School on Oct. 29, 2008. He and a few of his buddies hung in the parking lot with thousands of other ticketless tailgaters while the Phillies won the World Series with a 4-3 victory over Tampa Bay in Game 5.
Trout is a star centerfielder for the Los Angeles Angels. He is the cover boy for the latest issue of Sports Illustrated magazine, which proclaims him the best young player since Ted Williams.
Trout returns to South Philadelphia on Tuesday night as a young man far removed from the wide-eyed South Jersey schoolboy who joined the impromptu parade up Broad Street on that unforgettable night in Philadelphia sports history.

good to know I'm not the only one researching this. Thanks for the post.
iPad to Support USB Audio Interfaces via Camera Connection Kit? - Page 22
Head-Fi's Best Sellers
As I type this I am listening to my iPad > Camera Connection Kit > Nuforce USB Cable > Nuforce uDAC > Nuforce UF-30 headphones, and it does work beautifully. I can turn on and off the uDAC while plugged in and listening tonight, without any warnings about power consumption being too much. It works flawlessly for me. My 64Gb 3G iPad is still on OS 3.2 jailbroken.
UPDATE - I'm trying several USB DAC again right now.
Everytime you switch DACs it helps to unplug the Camera Connection Kit and plug the DAC into the cable and kit before plugging into the iPad. A few times a DAC would work, I'd unplug it and plug in another which gave me a "too much power" warning, but unplugging the kit would "reset" things and allow the next one to work.
1) So far I have the uDAC working perfectly. See above. I forgot to check if the iPad volume control affects the output volume before I gave it back to my son. On a Mac the system volume does affect the DAC output volume with uDAC.
2) 3MOVE - it took several tries to get it to work without the too much power draw warning. Whenever I get that warming, I have to unplug the Camera Connection kit from the iPad to reset things. I had to have the 3MOVE turned on first, then plugged into the Camera Connection Kit before plugging it into the iPad, and then plug that into the iPad last - but then it worked fine. Like with the Predator, the iPad volume control still controls the 3MOVE volume and you have to turn it to maximum when playing the iPod application.
3) XM5 by Practical Devices - just the same as the 3MOVE. The XM5 must also already be turned on before plugging it into the iPad, or you get the too much power warning. Like with the Predator, the iPad volume control still controls the 3MOVE volume and you have to turn it to maximum when playing the iPod application.
4) Vivid Audio Tech V1 - can plug in with power on or off with no "too much power" warnings, and can turn on and off while listening with no warnings. Like with the Predator and 3MOVE, then iPad volume control does affect the V1 output volume, and should be left on maximum.
5) I plugged in a Nuforce Icon Mobile with a dead battery and got the power warning. I disconnected it all, and plugged in a headphone to the amp first so that the power would be on once it got some juice, and plugging in the Camera Connection Kit to the iPad - this allowed to to work right away with no warnings. The iPad volume control affects the music volume though the amp, and should be left on maximum.
6) iBasso D10 - one of the first ones to ship, that wont charge via USB and allow analog input at the same time because it always uses the DAC anytime it's plugged into USB. It worked without having to even turn on the amp first. I can have the amp off or on when I plug the whole deal into the USB, and it plays fine and never gives me a power warning. iPad app volume control has no effect on music volume out of the D10.
7) iBasso D4 - plugged it in with power switch on and 9v off and got power warning. Turned it off and plugged in again with 9v off and in the iPod app it said "dock connector" where the volume control usually appear, but no sound. Unplugged everything again, and with amp still switched on but 9v off I plugged in the Camera Kit and it worked. iPod volume control showed up instead of "dock connector" but changing the volume in iPod app does not affect the sound. To double check I unplugged everything, and if I plug in the D4 with the power off, and then turn on power the warning appears. If the the volume knob power switch is turned on, even with 9v mode off, when I plug in the D4 it powers up and works without a warning.
8) RSA Predator - At RMAF 5 weeks ago the Predator worked fine, but the iPad app volume control needed to be turned up.
Updated Ipad to OS4.2. Udac will NOT work. Message says device needs too much power
Uh-Oh -did it work for you before?
yes, Under the OS3.2 that came Ipad. I am not happy
UGH! Guess I better not upgrade...although that's only a workable strategy for so long...

This is going to ruin everything lol. Is the power message true, do these DACs work with powered hubs or is 4.2 locking out USB audio altogether?
Currently running iOS 3.2.2 and officially afraid to upgrade
Edited by grokit - 11/22/10 at 8:55pm
This is Bull Schitt. So glad I haven't upgraded. What was Apple thinking!
Well Apple is seeing a revenue stream from licensing the digital audio output of the iPod/iPhone so they are probably thinking why give it away for free with the iPad.

Hey, sorry for being slightly off topic, but I figured anyone interested in using a usb dac with the ipad might know...
Are there any other dap that can use a usb dac? I did a search but it only returned some really old threads.
Also, did anyone figure out how to port the usb stack from the Ipad to the touch?
We need more reports from people with iOS 4.2 who can try more DACs, please!

Sh*t!!!. I just bought one(waiting for ios 4.2 so I could do multitasking). I was waiting to see if the new update would enable compatibility with udac2. Please don't tell me they did away with it completely. Apple leaves people no choice but to jailbreak their devices. It's their fault jailbreaking exists in the first place.
With my jailbroken iPad iOS 3.2 I am happy with everything it does - I'd like the new airplay and airprint, but I can live without it for now. I have backgrounder installed that let's me multitask, and MyWi 4.0 that lets me use it as a Wifi hotspot.
So I wont do 4.2 until the jailbreak is out for that, and only if they didn't kill USB DAC support for most of my DAC/amps. I've been an apple Fan Boy for ages, but this is starting to piss me off they way they screw up updates lately, especially for Mac software like iTunes. And they let developers break compatibility with older versions of iOS when they upgrade apps, so if you don't save all old copies of all upgraded iOS apps, then you may find yourself unable to use one of your long owned apps unless you upgrade to the newest OS. I have to warn my wife weekly to not delete her idisk or gallery apps or I wont be able to re-install them. She's stuck with OS 3.1.3 because an app for her work's contacts, calendar and email wont work with OS 4 yet. Grrr...

I updated to 4.2.1.
So far I can tell that the
HA Info NG Coax USB interface and the
PopPulse PCM 1796 DAC
works fine.
With the Sigtone / Shek h1 I get the error message - no work -
(Maybe I have to load the battery of the Shek completely before connecting because it wants to load over USB at once.)
USB Monica DAC doesn't work any more, too.

Spacey believes 'House of Cards' changes TV
Netflix's political thriller "House of Cards" made television history as the first online-delivered TV series to be recognized by the Academy with an Emmy nod -- nine, overall.
The weight of this was not lost on Kevin Spacey, who received a nomination for lead actor in a drama for his role as the show's Machiavellian, "get it done" Democrat, Francis Underwood.
Q Amid all the congratulations, are you able to absorb what a big deal it is, historically, for the industry?
A It's pretty great, pretty great for the show. We got nine nominations, which is extraordinary because we are the new kids on the block. But also, there were all these questions swirling around: 'Would we be able to break through because of the way the show is distributed?' It's just wonderful that the academy has recognized the show in so many categories.
Q How do you think the "House of Cards" nomination will change things for TV?
A I expect we will start to see, hopefully, more organizations and companies stepping up and saying, 'We want to order more programs and get into the content game.' For the industry, it's great because it creates jobs for more writers and more directors and more actors.
Q What is it about the show that has resonated?
A When we set out to do the series, we didn't think a lot about how it would be distributed. It was midway through shooting that those conversations were taking place. Ultimately a group decision was made to put the whole season out at once for the audience to be in control and to have the freedom to watch when the people wanted to watch. We didn't set out creatively thinking about how it's distributed.
Q Did the new distribution model affect production or the creative process at all?
A Because we weren't obligated to do a pilot, test it, come up with artificial cliffhangers and all that, we were able to get on with the story -- and we had 26 episodes to do that. Netflix and MRC just went whole hog and said, 'Go for it.' Frankly, that was a bit of a gamble -- a two-season order with no pilot. But it allowed us to get on with the storytelling. From a creative standpoint, it got everyone's juices going and was very exciting.
Q Are you a fan of any of the nominees you're up against?
A I love "Game of Thrones," "Breaking Bad." Hugh (Bonneville), I directed at the Old Vic almost 10 years ago now. Jeff Daniels, I've known for a number of years. It's a wonderful group of actors. Let the betting begin!
Q Francis can be a difficult character to watch sometimes. What do you think audiences see in him?
A Francis is an incredibly complex character; and maybe, to some degree, there's always been a fascination with American politics and how it's treated in entertainment. We're a nation fascinated with politics, particularly at a time when there's such a gridlock in Washington, D.C. However diabolical Francis might be, he gets stuff done. So it has to be fictional, right?

If your Movie Maker project is going to combine video clips along with music in the background, there's a way to mix the volumes for your music file along with your video clip that has its own audio. Now we already know we can adjust the volumes for our music and our video file separately. For example, in our BeachMovie project here, if we go to the first video clip-- surfing3--and make sure it's selected, we can go to the Video Tools > Edit tab on the Ribbon and then go to the Video Volume to adjust it.
So we can bring it down or move it up, and that will affect that one video clip. Then we would have to do the same for the other video clips in our project. We can also do the same for the music. If we click the Options tab, we can adjust the Music Volume. It has its own slider. But if you would rather just mix the volumes between the music and the video clips, you would then go to the Project tab. And this will affect your entire project--not a single clip. And over on the left-hand side in the Audio group, you will find the Audio Mix button.
When you click this button, you can then adjust the volume between your video and your music file. On the left, you'll see an icon representing the audio level for your video clip. On the right, you'll see an icon for your music. So if we drag this all the way to the right, we are going to hear our music clip, and we will not hear any of the audio that appears in any of the video clips in our project. If you want to be able to hear a little bit of that though, you might drag this slider a little bit to the left, so you are mostly hearing the music, and you might hear faintly in the background some crashing waves, for example, in the very first video clip.
So once you have that set the way you want, then you can click Play to have a listen-- (Video playing.) you might want to hear a little more, so go back to the audio mix and just drag it to the left to hear more of the audio that's in your video clip. Once you've got it set perfectly, you will just simply save your changes. So that's all there is to mixing the audio that might appear in a video clip along with music that plays in the background.

Properly Framing your documents, prints and maps
Properly Framing Your Documents, Prints and Maps
By Rick Badwey
Flags: collectibles that are keys to art and politics
When seven-year-old Tom Carrier watched the 1963 televised funeral of the assassinated President John Fitzgerald Kennedy what caught young Carrier's eye was not the black-draped caisson or the rider-less horse, boots inserted backwards in the stirrups, or the color guard – it was the solider marching behind the coffin with the Presidential flag.
Queen's stockings roll up big sale
The art, antiques and collectibles news mention Queen Victoria's unmentionables, a charred Hendrix guitar and a sad auction of slain football star's belongings.
Selling My Vintage Vans Shoe Collection
A few months ago, I decided to redirect some of my collecting energy towards new frontiers. In doing so, I made the decision to liquidate my collection of vintage Vans shoes. Skateboarding was a big part of my adolescence, and I always loved placing my order for a customized pair of Vans, made to my exact color specifications.
Desecrate the American Flag? Free Speech or Offensive?
"The Congress and the states shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States"
For the amendment:
In his dissenting opinion in Texas v. Johnson, the late Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist wrote,
hankerchief from war
if anyone knows anything regarding silk hankerchief titled "STARS AND STRIPES PACIFIC" please e-mail me @ firstname.lastname@example.com
How to Clean Antique Table Linen
I personally have a passion for antique table linen and usually can find great pieces in less august settings. Therefore, these pieces are sometimes in less than perfect condition. Double, triple and quadruple damask (categories which denote successive levels of thread quantity, the higher the better) in less than perfect condition are usually redeemable.

The Royal Flags and Honors of Queen Elizabeth II
Her formal title is "Her Majesty, Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith." She ascended the throne after the death of her father, King George VI on February 6, 1952 and her Coronation followed on June 2, 1953.
Zhuang Embroidery Balls
In China's southwest province of Guangxi, the Zhuang nationality comprises the largest ethnic minority with about 14 million people. I was fortunate to meet types of people from this ancient tribe – men and women and little babies – while touring the region. Wherever I found examples of Zhuang collectibles, the one that struck me as particularly unusual was the embroidered ball.

yeah gladius. linkageI was browsing the interwebs and stumbled across some interesting concept art. Turns out, it was for a little game called Gladius 2, a game that up to this point has not yet been announced.
James Zhang, an artist who has done work for several projects including multiple Star Wars games, had quite a bit of concept art up on his site JZConcepts.com. A hidden list of links was stumbled upon in which there were images for Gladius 2, as well as Knights of the Old Republic 3. Those links are now gone.
The existence of Gladius 2 is further proven by the simple fact that Gladius 2 is listed under projects if you click on the client list on his main page. Kinda hard to deny it now, right?

Game genres they like most:
Tom likes to think of himself as the Optimus Prime of the VideoGamer world. While he's passed on the Matrix to someone new, the fans still think of him with love and affection (edit: this was written by Tom).
A man so big he is often mistaken for an end of level boss, Simon's love of video games is only rivalled by his life-long obsession with WWE and a need to consume all the protein in the world.
In his younger years James was so good at games he held one of the fastest times in the country for Koopa Troopa Beach on Mario Kart 64. He then quit playing for reading press releases.
When Dave isn't looking into the next big news story he's pre-ordering so many games he often forgets what he's bought. He also has the worst taste in games in the VG office.
Steve has gone by many names during his video game writing career, but most people know him as the man who hates everything and everyone apart from Manchester United and blazers.
Jim is Welsh, but was raised in Scotland. He loves nothing better than a nice plate of Haggis, neeps and tatties with an Irn Bru. When he's not playing games he's talking about patter and yir da.
After coding himself a human body to manifest his A.I, Adam dominated the world of Unreal Tournament. He also invented the word 'Pwn' by removing 2 letters from 'Prawn'.
Tam lays the smack down on anybody disobeying the law. This hard as nails mofo is an expert on all things games thanks to advice from his auld pals Pachter and Keighley.

This might be your lucky day...
...if you have an important exam to pass! At the back side of St. Bartholomew's church, there is a little luck-bringing device. You'll see people heading to an enclosure where they quickly touch a little angel. According to my host, this is supposed to bring luck. There are several angels on the fence of the enclosure, so don't choose the wrong one!
(Hint: It shouldn't be too hard finding the right angel - it's almost polished white by all those touching it!)

Capital of Czech land - Prague
Prague is about 100 km from Plzen. City is capital of Czech Republic with a population of about 1,2 millions people. It is definitely the main tourist destination in Czech Republic and surely need a visit for at least a few days. Prague historic centre consist of six different parts – Old Town, Juzefov, Mala Strana, Visegrad, Hadcany, New Town.
Castle of Karlstejn
Karlstejn is one of the most famous travel destinations in Czech Republic. Main landmark in village of Karlstejn is castle.
Gothic castle was built from 1348 till 1365 by Holy Roman emperor and King of Bohemia Charles IV. Actually the purpose of constructing this castle was safekeeping of royal treasures.
Castle is about 70 kilometers from Plzen, on the way to Prague. It is possible to reach it by train.
Spejbel and Hurvinek are an old man and his son made of wood. They are marionettes and quite famous in the Czech Republic. In Plzen, where their creator comes from, the two guys were given a little monument in 2003 - nothing too special, but if you know the figures you might want to see the monument.
However, my student Jitka told me an interesting story about the figures. Although Spejbel is the father of Hurvinek, he is "younger" than his son. This is due to the earlier creation of Hurvinek who was first an orphan and only later got a Daddy. Apparently, there are also a woman and her daughter (probably also older than her mother) who are in love with Spejbel respectively Hurvinek.
Confused? Well, me too. Guess I've gotta check the marionette play next time in Plzen!

CUPS Print Server Vulnerabilities Removed
The new 1.3.7 is the CUPS developers have closed down several vulnerabilities in the popular print server.
On networks that ran CUPS as a print server, potential attackers could provoke a heap-based buffer overflow via the "cgiCompileSearch()" search function implemented by the CGI interface if the printer was shared. A carefully crafted search request was required to do this. The exploit gave attackers the ability to assumed the privileges of the user accounts running the service and to execute code. Security researchers iDefence discovered the vulnerability, which is classified as CVE ID CVE-2008-0047, in CUPS version 1.3.5, although older versions may also be affected.
This also applies to bug CVE-2008-1373 which was provoked by GIF image files. If image files had an invalid value in the "code_size" field, a buffer overflow could be provoked. The new release also removes a couple of minor errrors in CUPS. Check out the release notes for more details.
The new 1.3.7 version is now available for downloading. Distributors will be providing updated packages shortly.

Bronx Advocates Call for Alternatives to Arrests of Students Inside Public Schools (UPDATED)
From New Settlement Parent Action Committee flier.
This afternoon, parent advocates in the Bronx are organizing a march that will start at a transportation hub in the borough, move to a suspensions hearing center onward to an early care education site, and then to an elementary school and a middle school. The final destination of the rally is a juvenile justice center.
This, they say, is a reflection of the path that all too many Bronx youth take today -- from school to prison.
A South Bronx group called the New Settlement Apartments Parent Action Committee is holding a rally today to shed light on some alarming statistics around the arrests that take place inside schools and to push the Dept. of Education to make policy changes that they say would better address behavioral problems and curb the rates of youth incarceration.
"Kids are being handcuffed and carded off to detention centers, and that is not right," Joseph Ferdinand, a parent organizer with the group, told the Voice this morning. "They are just psychologically preparing our children for prison."

Advocates, who have been rallying around this issue for months, argue that there is a "school-to-prison pipeline," which is a cycle of youth struggling in school, without a lot of support, in a system that expects them and pushes them to ultimately end up in jail. This problem is especially widespread for minority and low-income students attending schools in areas like the South Bronx, the organization says.
And the stats they cite do paint a somewhat dismal picture.
During the 2010-2011 school year, there were 73,441 suspensions, and of those, 51.8 percent were black students, 36.9 percent were Latino, and 7.5 percent were white. Special education students accounted for 31.4 percent of that total. Just for frame of reference, out of the total Dept. of Education enrollment as of October, 2011, black students make up 29 percent of the population, and Latino students make up 40 percent.
In terms of arrests, in a three-month period last year, there were 279 arrests, which the group says is an average of more than five of day. Of those arrests, 74.9 percent were male, and 93.5 percent were black and Latino students. Nearly 20 percent were between the ages of 11 and 14.
Also worth noting, the Bronx has the highest rate of students being arrested and being issued summons (45.1 percent of students issued summons between October and December came from the Bronx).
"It's really unfair the way our kids are being treated for minor infractions," said Ferdinand, 59, who has three kids who attended public schools in the Bronx and have since graduated.
Today, at the "Education, Not Incarceration" march, the organization is releasing a set of demands to the Dept. of Education that center on providing more resources for alternatives to incarceration. They are calling for the funding and implementation of "positive discipline programs" like conflict resolution and peer mediation in Bronx schools and are also pushing the city to provide at least one guidance counselor for every 100 students along with a licensed, full-time social worker in each school. The advocates say they hope to see the number of suspensions and arrests cut in half by September 2013.
Police relations with the neighborhoods are very strained by these kinds of problems, Ferdinand said. "This is a borough that needs help...We have more police, more incarceration, more oppression...everything that is dehumanizing to us."
We reached out to the Dept. of Education and will update if we hear back. When the Voice wrote about this issue earlier in the year based on a New York Civil Liberties Union study, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne told us that these kinds of statistics are taken out of context, saying, "The NYCLU talks about arrests in schools but, conveniently, not crimes."
"There were 801 felonies in the schools last year, compared to 1,577 in 2001 before the current administration took office. That 50 percent reduction in serious crime was made through the good work of dedicated School Safety Officers and Police Officers. Schools are kept safe by their ongoing efforts," Browne wrote at the time.
The rally today will start at 149th St and 3rd Avenue, at the corner of Melrose Ave, at 4 p.m. and move to the Bronx Suspensions Hearing Center at 501 Courtlandt Ave. The march will stop at several schools along the way and then end at Horizon Juvenile Detention Center at 560 Brook Avenue.
UPDATE: A spokesperson from the DOE reached out to us and responded that crime has gone down. Part of her statement said:
Since 2001, major crime in schools is down by 49 percent and violent crime is down by more than 45 percent. Regarding suspensions, our latest data show a 20% drop in superintendent suspensions from July-December 2010 to the same time period in 2011. For the same period there was a 9.6% drop in overall suspensions. At the same time, we have increased our focus on supporting schools in building positive cultures and environments. We have placed an emphasis on prevention and conflict resolution. The Office of School and Youth Development supports schools and networks to implement approaches that help students learn and achieve in a respectful and safe learning community. The DOE offers conflict resolution training including peer mediation and we are offering training in using resotrative approaches to support schools.

Plex client has been available for Apple TV for a few years now, but it only worked on jailbroken Apple TV 2. What's more, it wasn't compatible with the latest Apple TV software versions. Well, that has just changed as a group of devs (Baa, roidy and f00b4r) has released a PlexConnect, a "super clever little hack which allows a rich, fully-functional Plex client on un-jailbroken ATV2 and ATV3 (1080p!) devices." Here is how it works:
Following the release of Apple TV software update 5.2.1 (iOS 6.1.3 – 10B329a), FireCore has updated Seas0nPass to provide a tethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 running the latest firmware. Released in March, a minor Apple TV software update – 5.2.1 – added support for Music in the Cloud in Japan and Israel and included improvements for software update, subtitles, and general performance.
Following the last week's release of evasi0n iOS 6.0-6.1 jailbreak, FireCore has updated its Seas0nPass to provide an untethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 running the latest 5.2 (iOS 6.1) firmware. Released in January, Apple TV software update 5.2 for the 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TV added Bluetooth keyboard support, iTunes in the Cloud and AirPlay audio for videos.
FireCorehas just announced on its forum that they are "hard at work" on a new version of Seas0nPassthat takes advantage of the evasi0n jailbreak. They expect to have it available "soon".
This time we didn't write a word on a new jailbreak until we had everything double checked. And so, as we have just jailbroken our Apple TV 2 running 5.2 firmware, we can now confirm that the recently updated Sn0wbreeze 2.9.8 does bring the untethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 on iOS 6.x.
UPDATE: Although it has been confirmed by @MuscleNerd that evasi0n would support Apple TV 2, it seems that it doesn't. Based on earlier news from evad3rs team, we believed their jailbreak was compatible with Apple TV 2 when publishing the below post just a few minutes after evasi0n went live. We are very sorry for causing confusion. We now have to wait for Seas0nPass to be updated with iOS 6.x support for Apple TV 2. We believe it won't take long.
UPDATE 2: How to jailbreak Apple TV 2 5.2 (iOS 6.1) using Seas0nPass (untethered; Mac & Windows)
Evad3rs, a group of four top iOS hackers (@pod2g, @musclenerd, @pimskeks and @planetbeing) has just released a long-awaited evasi0n jailbreak for all iDevices running iOS 6.0 through 6.1, that include Apple TV 2 running software version 5.1, 5.1.1 or the latest 5.2. This is an untethered jailbreak, meaning you will be able to reboot your Apple TV without attaching it to a computer. Evasi0n jailbreak doesn't support Apple TV 3 (however, there is some hope that it will in the future).

/// Philanthropist and Former Microsoft Executive Believed Dead in Connecticut Plane Crash
Bill Henningsgaard, a former Microsoft executive, was killed Friday when a plane he and his son were piloting crashed into a Connecticut home, according to reports and a statement from a Seattle-area venture where he had been a board member. Although the government had yet to issue formal confirmation, Henningsgaard's brother told CNN that the family had no reason to believe it wasn't Bill Henningsgaard and his son, Maxwell, on their plane. Henningsgaard had been involved with starting and leading a number of philanthropic efforts and served on the board of Social Venture Partners, which also confirmed his death. "Many of you know firsthand how the extraordinary and visionary leadership of Bill Henningsgaard was visible all over this community," the Seattle-based venture said in a tribute posted on its website . "He worked tirelessly to build partnerships and facilitate efforts that put us on the path of engaging the community to actively support every child, step by step, from cradle to career. Bill walked the talk to make our community stronger. … One of the true losses is how much more he had to give, but his legacy is one of authentic, caring commitment to this world." A Microsoft representative said the company didn't have any immediate comment.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Gustave Charpentier
born in Dieuze, Lorraine, France, composed during the Romantic period
While living and composing in Rome at the Villa Medici -- a condition of winning the Prix de Rome -- Charpentier completed an number of important works, including a symphony entitled La vie du poete, and an orchestral suite, Impressions d'Italie. He also began work on an opera, Louise, which was destined to become his most famous work.
Charpentier returned to Paris in 1890 with the libretto for Louise, which he had written himself. The text of the opera concerned a dressmaker's shop girl named Louise and her life in Paris. Many of Charpentier's friends and colleagues suggested that the libretto was too realistic, too crude; the composer made a number of revisions to the text before finally completing the music in 1896. The opera was premiered at the Opera Comique early in 1900 and was an astounding success. It has been called a "roman musical," an early example of "verismo," and a "realist" drama; most importantly, Louise secured Charpentier's fame as a composer and earned him many honors, including election to the Academie des Beaux Arts. In 1900, he was also named a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
In 1902, Charpentier founded a school of music, the Conservatoire Populaire Mimi Pinson, which offered free musical instruction to Paris' many "midinettes" -- the shop girls who were popularized in his Louise. Charpentier also organized successful festivals throughout the country, many of which featured his own music, and thus enlarged his fame.
Charpentier's next success was the opera Julien of 1913, essentially a sequel to Louise. Probably the second work in an intended trilogy (never to be completed), Julien was not as successful as Louise, but shares many of the latter's charateristics: both are naturalistic music dramas that include the sights and sounds of life on the streets of Paris.
After Julien, Charpentier completed virtually no music, and instead busied himself with organizing concerts and writing music criticism. Interested in modern technological developments like the gramophone, radio, and film, Charpentier participated in a film version of Louise in 1936; however, Charpentier became a recluse after World War II, and produced no more music until his death (Paris, February 18, 1956). ~ Alexander Carpenter, Rovi

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – After Tuesday's scrimmage, Head Coach Jim McElwain called the pace slow. On Wednesday the second-year coach was much happier with practice.
McElwain might be happier because his defensive line is returning to full strength after catching the injury bug last week.
"LaRyan (King) is going again (after) that meatloaf pull he had," McElwain joked. "Terry Jackson went all day yesterday and (Calvin) Tonga's back. We should get Austin Berk back at the end of camp."
Charles Lovett, who played one series in Tuesday's scrimmage before hurting his knee, did not practice on Wednesday but McElwain called it precautionary.
"With Charles, the word is contusion. He's not out here but he's in the treatment room. He's got a bruise," McElwain said.
The Rams spent most of practice outside at the fields just east of the normal practice field. McElwain tossed another surprise at them as they went to the indoor practice facility for some field goal work.
There, the Rams were greeted by the Colorado State marching band, a tradition that McElwain started last season. McElwain invites the band to teach the newcomers the fight song.
Fall Camp Notebook:
Jack Miller: On Monday night the Rams welcomed another member to the Rams family in Jack Miller. Miller is a young boy who was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of three.
"Jack Miller is a nine-year-old young man out of Louisville, Colo., and he's a Rams fan who was diagnosed at the age of three with brain tumors," McElwain said. "He's been going through chemo and radiation treatment for the last six years and through the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation, they match teams with kids that are fans of them. He's a team member, he's part of the family. He's got a #1TTD (wrist) band, he's got a game jersey and he's going to be with us whenever he can between his treatments. Part of this whole deal in life is understanding what it takes and what it is to give up yourself to somebody less fortunate. What you realize is that you all get consumed with your own problems. You know what, to see the glitter in Jack's eyes and the smile on his face when the team gave him his jersey, sang him the fight song; and he actually gave a little talk as a pregame speech to the guys. I think that's something all of us should step back and take a look at."
Stepping up: McElwain always preaches, when a player goes down with an injury, he wants to see another player step up. During Tuesday's scrimmage after Lovett went out Robert Ruiz, a wide receiver from El Cajon, Calif., stepped up and impressed McElwain.
"I don't care who's hurt someone has to step up," McElwain said. "I'd say from yesterday's scrimmage, Charles Lovett obviously went out in that first series and Robert Ruiz came in and made himself relevant. There's a guy who took advantage of his opportunity and that's good to see."
Lovett quotables:
(on growing under coach McElwain)
"He's been a big influence on my life. He's taught me a lot, he's taught me not to feel sorry for myself when I want to. He's taught me to finish when my body tells me I can't. He's not a coach that you're afraid to go talk to, his door is always open; he's taught me never to be scared of him so that's helped me a lot."
(on McElwain's weirdest habit)
"Probably when he says 'moving forward' he loves to say moving forward. He loves saying 'you got me' and he loves using his hands. He loves saying 'I get it,' he gets everything. Just habits like that, not bad habits, just funny habits. It doesn't matter who you are, if you're the first guy in the roster or the last he's going to coach you the same. He's going to get on you when you're bad and let you know when you did something good."
(on working with the new receivers)
"It helps me more than you guys probably think it does, because in film study, on the practice field, off the practice field a guy will ask me what I have on this play and me telling them helps me on the next play also. They probably don't know it but them asking questions helps me just as much as it helps them. I know it, but teaching somebody else kind of helps you understand it a little bit more. I know how it was when I got here, the playbook looked foreign to me, and I know how it is so I don't down talk them because every day they're going to make a mistake."
