Off-Campus Housing:
It is not too difficult to get off-campus housing. The only downside is that you have to start looking around November of the previous year so that is tricky. The actual off campus housing is not too expensive and there are plenty of available apartments on Beaver and College- both streets have a bus line that runs through it. As a sophomore, I am living off campus on Beaver ave with 3 of my best friends in a 2 bedroom apartment and it is costing me around $570 a month- so nothing too outrageous. There is a white loop on Beaver ave so it is not impossible to get anywhere and if you are not lazy like me, you could even walk to class from Beaver ave.
Off-Campus Housing:
The off campus situation is good. It's so easy to just take a bus to get to classes and the landlords are good as long as general rules are being followed.
Off-Campus Housing:
Quality and prices vary; must research thoroughly.
Off-Campus Housing:
It is college living. Average.
Off-Campus Housing:
There are plenty of off-campus housing options. If you are unsure of where to look you can ask someone in the financial aid office who might be able to help. You can also look online for off-campus housing. The only thing is that the closer you are to campus, the more expensive the housing is going to be.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Penn State requires freshmen to live in the residence halls, so off-campus housing doesn't become an option until sophomore year. Even then, spending another year in residence halls isn't such a terrible idea. The conditions do get better, and you can enjoy the benefits of dorm life-not cooking or cleaning-for a little longer before you make it into the real world. For the first year, you're thrown together with a roommate not of your choice. By the second year, however, most students have formed their own circle of friends and can choose to live in neighboring dorm rooms to create the perfect dorm environment. If you do choose off-campus housing, you'll probably end up only slightly farther from classes than your dorm.
Many of the student-friendly apartments are in downtown State College, which is either a short walk or bus ride from campus. As you go farther out, the apartment sizes increase and rents decrease. It isn't uncommon for students to get townhouses around State College and commute to campus. This means you either have to bring your own car or become familiar with the bus schedule. The biggest advantage of living outside the dorms is the freedom it gives you. This can be a great learning experience. It is the first time many students have to deal with buying food, keeping up with bills, and maintaining their own place. While some would prefer to use their meal points in the dining commons rather than fight over whose turn it is to do the dishes, there is satisfaction in eating food you've cooked for yourself. Provided you're willing to take on the extra responsibility and alter your lifestyle a little, living off-campus can also be significantly cheaper than dorm life and meal plans.

Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

"Very elegant looking card. I used the black & gold colors and personalized it on the back with 2 photo options from my son's High School years. Several compliments from friends who received this announcement."
"I ordered the rounded edges. High quality, thick paper with a modern and expensive look. We added some writing on the back even though there was a template for just photos. We just uploaded some text as a jpg. Worked great!"
"Ordered the cards to help my granddaughter prepare for her graduation. I was very impressed with the size, quality and appearances of the card. I will surprise her with them next week and including a gold,silver and blue pen to add any final touches she may want."
"I made this into a card showcasing how my little boy had grown from birth to two years. The photo layout worked particularly well and the image quality was excellent. Everyone who has seen the card has commented on how great it looks. I love the fact that Tiny Prints card formats can be adjusted to suit your needs; this is one of the reasons why I keep returning as a customer."
"I found Tiny Prints through googling "affordable graduation announcements". I was worried about how the picture would turn out on the announcement because even though it was taken on a professional camera the website still said that it was not a good enough quality. I took the chance anyway and opted for the professional review before the order was processed. The order arrived 4 days before expected and maybe even more than that I just happened to see it on my porch one morning. The order turned out wonderful! The quality of the picture was exactly what I wanted. Im glad I chose Tiny Prints to make my graduation announcements. I even recommend them to my mother for out annual christmas cards."

Rosie LaGrotta had a night free from her team, so she went to Millville for a softball game and to see her former teammates play.
As an alumna does, she made her way around the field and caught up with a lot of the girls throughout the game.
The only difference was that LaGrotta is a senior at Paul VI and the girls she went to see were her former teammates from Sacred Heart. Together, they won the South Jersey Non-Public B title the last two years before the school closed because of declining enrollment.
Much of the Sacred Heart team ended up at Millville or Vineland, the Thunderbolts' opponent that night.

An eagle-eyed NASA spacecraft has spotted a fresh crater on Mars large enough to cover half of a football field, and it's no puny Martian pockmark. In fact, the crater is the largest new impact site ever seen on the Red Planet using orbiter photos. [See the video here.]
Adam Block of the Mount Lemmon SkyCenter produced an image of this bizarre-looking item in April 2014. Arp 184, as it is classified in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, also goes by the name of Mayall's Object. The strange entity lies 500 million light years away within the constellation of Ursa Major. The unusual shape of Arp 148 may have resulted from the collision of two galaxies, which created the new object consisting of a ring-shaped galaxy with a tail. [See more images here.]
If you've ever wondered what the view of Earth from space would be like set to a Pink Floyd soundtrack, wonder no more. The band is counting down to the launch of something on Tuesday (May 20), and is using stunning views from the International Space Station to do it. [See the video here.]
NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover examined and even drilled into the rock target "Windjana" and its immediate surroundings after inspection of the site by the rover. The drilling of a test hole and a sample collection hole produced the mounds of drill cuttings that appear less reddish in color than the other visible surfaces. This represents material that the drill pulled up from the interior of the rock. This view came from the 627th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (May 12, 2014). The open hole from sample collection measures 0.63 inch (1.6 centimeters) in diameter. Curiosity drilled it on Sol 621 (May 5, 2014). [See more images here.]

Ralph Rosenberg, ex-Goldman Sachs and Eton Park partner has just been made the chief of global real- estate investing at KKR.
Valued at about $3.5 billion, the initial public offering of the hospital company HCA Holdings is expected to be the largest-ever new domestic stock issue sold by private-equity firms.
Buoyed by the recent investor enthusiasm for new issues, Ally Financial and HCA Holdings are moving forward with their respective IPO plans, say people familiar with the matter.
Many consider Wednesday's Nielsen IPO to be a referendum on their business. Don't. Because there's a much bigger story at work, and if you listen carefully, it could make you a lot of money.
Investor reaction to Nielsen Holdings, the research company slated to go public Wednesday, has been so upbeat that its shares are likely to price at or above the top of its stated range, say people familiar with the deal.
By all accounts a group of private equity firms led by Apollo are working hard to submit a bid for Sara Lee, but there are plenty of question marks about whether such a deal will get to the finish line.
Stocks bounced off the lows of the session but ended lower as disappointing economic news halted the market's rally and as Merck dragged down the Dow amid problems with a key blood-clotting drug. Merck and Alcoa slumped, as Home Depot rose.
Stocks slumped more in the final hour of trading as disappointing economic news halted the market's rally and a disappointing drug trial for Merck dragged down the Dow. Merck and Alcoa fell, while Home Depot rose.
Emboldened by a rallying stock market, the media company Nielsen Holdings will launch its pre-IPO road show on Monday, according to people familiar with the matter, with meetings between company management and Wall Street salespeople this morning.
Two traders on Goldman Sachs's proprietary trading desk are poised to set up their own fund in London, financed by a major European backer, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said on Monday, the New York Times reports.
It is the brass-tacks question every stock investor asks: What is this company really worth? But in the rarefied realm of private equity investing, the answer to that question is often hard to find, if it can be found at all, the New York Times reports.
So as M&A fever hits a milestone, it seems private equity senses the moment is ripe for a public debut. Yet Blackstone—which just Tuesday raised $15 billion in its largest-ever fund— has performed miserably as a public entity: trading at around $14 per share, down more than 50 percent from its IPO price of $31. So why are some money managers seeing opportunity in private equity stocks this time around?
Most major European indices are down 1 percent to 2 percent, as more sovereign debt contagion worries spread. Europe's FT Deutschland newspaper reported that euro zone countries are seeking to push Portugal to accept a bailout package to prevent its bigger neighbor Spain from doing the same. Portugal has denied the report.
We can now decisively say that two of the mega-leveraged buyouts that took place from 2005-2007 were a success.
Stocks ended higher after an initial rocky response to the Federal Reserve announcement it would buy $600 billion in long-term Treasurys the middle of next year in an effort to stimulate the economy's sluggish growth. HP and Cisco rose, while AmEx and Microsoft fell.
Stocks rose after an initial rocky response after the Federal Reserve announced it would buy $600 billion in long-term Treasurys by the end of the second quarter of 2011 in an effort to stimulate the economy's sluggish growth. HP and Cisco rose, while AmEx and Microsoft fell.
Stocks closed modestly higher after a see-saw session as the dollar rose, and investors absorbed the meaning of a large batch of earnings reports and economic news. Home Depot and United Technologies rose, while Bank of America and Alcoa fell.
Stocks rose out of negative territory after rallying earlier in the sessions as the dollar rose, and investors absorbed the meaning of a large batch of earnings reports and economic news. Home Depot and United Technologies rose, while Bank of America and Caterpillar fell.
Stocks pared gains, although remained higher, after several positive earnings reports gave investors a reason to believe the U.S. economy is improving, even as they digested a mixed batch of economic reports. Home Depot and McDonald's rose, while Bank of America fell.
Goldman Sachs, the Wall Street giant, is in talks with at least five potential hirers for traders at its U.S. proprietary trading group headed by Bob Howard.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Kevin Garnett played his usual unselfish basketball Wednesday night. Only this time, his teammates followed the lead.
Garnett had 17 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, and the Minnesota Timberwolves snapped a four-game losing streak by dishing out a season-high 38 assists to beat the Golden State Warriors 121-93.
"I understand basketball and was just finding guys when they were open," Garnett said. "I was forcing the ball to move and it got contagious after that."
It led to Minnesota's largest margin of victory this season, following a 28-point loss at Houston that prompted coach Randy Wittman to sit Ricky Davis and Mike James in the second half.
"You don't see that (38 assists) every day," Wittman said.
"You go through tough situations and you learn from them," Wittman said. "As I told you, we just moved forward from Monday's game and wanted to try and get this started on a good note."
Both Davis and James started and responded well. Davis scored 26 points on 10-for-14 shooting and James finished with eight points and nine assists. Mark Blount added 22 points, but Garnett was the spark-plug for everybody.
Afterward, he passed the credit off to his coach and an "unusual practice" on Tuesday.
"It wasn't easy on our legs and I anticipate that tomorrow will be similar and that's the way we're going to have to do it from here on out," Garnett said.
Sarunas Jasikevicius scored 20 points, Stephen Jackson added 17 and Al Harrington had 13 points, nine rebounds and six assists. It was the finale of a six-game road trip for Golden State, which fell behind by 20 points in the first half and never recovered.
"We thought the road trip was over and forgot to play the game," Warriors coach Don Nelson said.
"The game before, we won the game because we moved the ball and didn't just play on one side," Nelson added. "This particular game I couldn't get anybody to do that."
The Warriors, who went 2-4 on the trip, made a run in the third quarter to close the gap to 12, but Minnesota quickly pushed the lead back to 23 and never let Golden State get it under double digits.
"We were never able to really stop them," Jasikevicius said. "Our best defensive quarter we allowed like 26 points and that's not going to win any games, obviously."
Garnett had 11 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in the first half, then reached his 17th career triple-double with an assist with 3:05 remaining in the third quarter.
The Timberwolves used an 11-0 run in the second quarter to take a 55-37 lead. Garnett sparked it with five points, including a three-point play, and Minnesota maintained the 18-point lead going into halftime, 63-45.
Blount scored 10 points in the first quarter to help Minnesota to a 32-27 lead.
- It was Garnett's first triple-double since April 13, 2005, also against Golden State. He has 16 during the regular season and one in the playoffs.
- The Wolves have still lost 10-of-13.
- Golden State made just 37 of 100 field goal attempts.
- Baron Davis (sore left knee) and Monta Ellis (left knee contusion) did not start, forcing Golden State to use its league-leading 27th different starting lineup in 50 games this season. Ellis played, but Davis missed his second straight game. Nelson said that Davis will likely play in the next game.

Regarding the syndicated column by Chuck Norris (Norris: Some food for thought for GMOs, July 28, amarillo
.com), I grew up on the farm that has been in our family for four generations, and I've farmed here all my life.
I've seen a lot of changes over my lifetime in how we grow our food and fiber. Here on our farm, and every farm I know of in our area, we have adopted new technology and farming practices that have enabled us to produce bigger and better crops on less land, using less water and using less energy and chemicals.
We have been blessed with three children and five grandchildren, and I would never grow any crop on my land that posed any harm to them in any way.
I would never sell any crop to others that I wouldn't be willing to feed to my own family.
Today, we are much more aware of what goes into our food than we were 30 or 40 years ago.
During my lifetime, we've learned a lot more about food safety, and today we're far more cautious and thorough in testing everything before we consider it safe.
Now, I don't believe everything the government tells us or everything that big corporations say about their products they want to sell to me, but when it comes to genetically modified foods, I haven't seen or heard any evidence that would cause me concern about eating those foods or serving them to my family.
I'm proud of the crops I grow, and I have confidence they produce healthy, nutritious foods.

Toronto Raptors vs. Golden State Warriors
Our Price
$17 - $55*
Full Price
$22 - $65
Cheer on the Golden State Warriors as they host the Toronto Raptors in NBA basketball action at Oracle Arena. The Warriors have been one of the NBA's biggest success stories this year, having their best season in years and emerging as playoff contenders in the tough Western Conference.

It was fun. I liked the staging which is always impressive but if you have done the frozen experance in California adventure you get the same experance. Of course my daughter loved it. My advice for what it is worth, BART is not worth the walk, especially after the show when your kids are tired and on a sugar rush, just pay for parking. Eat before but get there early to avoid the crowds going through the metal detectors. Don't bring anything metal. Bring your own dollar store candy, yes they go through your stuff but they are looking for candy. While at the dollar store buy some wands or whatever you your kid wants because otherwise you are paying $28 for a light up wand you could have gotten for $1. Also don't bring a stroller, they sent allowed inside and it holds up the line getting in. Oh and the lighting prevents decent pictures of characters so do a shoot with the kids at the tide photo booth before the show and if you are going to spend more money the program is the best way to get pictures you can see $20. Hope that helps. Have fun!star this tip starred

Ordering Genes
|Herding human diversity.
Credit: euro2002.dk
It is tricky enough to get a soccer team of eleven players to cooperate and work as one – but what would it be like if there were 25,000 players on the field? What would the rules be like, and how many referees would it take to make sure that the rules were followed?
As it happens, our genomes consist of networks of roughly 25,000 interacting genes, and these networks are obviously very stable and resilient to changed conditions. Out of billions of cells, not a single one falls into chaos. How can order be maintained?
A question that scientists have been pondering since the 1960s may now have been answered by theoretical physicists at Lund University.
In the most recent issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, professor Carsten Peterson and his collaborators Björn Samuelsson and Carl Troein demonstrate how this is possible. Stuart Kauffman – a pioneer in the field, who formulated and attempted to solve the problem as early as 1967 – is their co-author.
At any given time, each of the 25,000 genes in a cell may or may not be producing a protein – each gene is 'on' or 'off', to use language from the world of computers. A gene can affect other genes, turning them 'on' or 'off'. A simple case is that two genes are controlling a third gene. To activate this third gene, both the controlling genes might need to be active, or maybe only one or the other.
|"Planetary biospheres are complex entities whose histories are fraught with contingency, accident, and luck." -David Grinspoon

"In such a simple subsystem, sixteen different rules are possible in the interaction between the genes, and a large number of different solutions can emerge for the entire network," says professor Peterson. It was systems like this that Dr. Kauffman started working with; he assumed that the different solutions corresponded to different cell types. This would also explain how the DNA can be the same in all types of cells. Unfortunately, real systems are vastly more complicated. More than two genes may be involved in activating a single gene. In the case of three controlling genes, there are already 256 different rules. And in a system of 25 genes, the number of possibilities is greater than the number of atoms in the known universe.
To find those solutions that would produce stable systems, Peterson and his collaborators have primarily used literature knowledge from the foremost guinea pig of genetics: the fruit fly. More is known about the details of the genetic network here than in humans.

"In the fruit fly one can find almost 200 rules that are canalyzing, and this property is most likely general and applicable to genetic networks in other organisms," Carsten Peterson notes. "With 'canalyzing' we mean that there is a controlling gene that decides the value of the gene it activates by being either on or off. In that case, other controlling genes don't have any effect on the activated gene. It doesn't matter whether they are on or off.
With canalyzing rules, it turns out that the networks become stable regardless of the number of controlling genes, the size of the networks and the initial state of the system." It might be added that when Stuart Kauffman first started working on this problem, he was using punch cards. Now that the problem has been solved, it was not thanks to simulations on a powerful computer – it has been sufficient with observations, logical thinking and mathematical labor.
One Tree Falls in Search for Tree of Life
Finding such high degree of order in the genome of a single species is only part of the problem. The remainder is to understand what is responsible for some of the needed adaptability, which means to understand the organism's surroundings and environment. A new study carries on the ambitious task to build a tree of life for all species on Earth.

A tree of life shows how living things have evolved since the origins of life billions of years ago, grouping related organisms on the same branch. Such trees provide an organizing framework for biology. They can be used for predicting the properties of poorly known species and are powerful tools for tasks such as drug discovery, said Michael Sanderson, professor of evolution and ecology at UC Davis and senior author on the paper.
Comparing protein and DNA sequences is a powerful tool for creating trees, because large amounts of data can be generated quite easily. But existing databases contain big gaps, because some organisms have been studied very heavily while many others are represented by single entries or not at all.
Postdoctoral researcher Amy Driskell and colleagues from Sanderson's laboratory analyzed over 300,000 protein and DNA sequences deposited by scientists in the GenBank and Swiss-Prot public databases. They found that even though there were big gaps in the data, with many groups of organisms represented by a single sequence, it was still possible to construct useful trees starting from samples of 16,000 green plants and 7,500 plants and animals.
"It's pretty surprising that you can draw conclusions from such a small amount of information, compared to how much there would be if the databases contained a better sample of biodiversity," Sanderson said.
Researchers can now take the same approach and add more information from sequence databases, increasing the resolution of phylogenetic trees, he said.

Hallucinations (original 2012; edition 2012)
by Oliver Sacks
Work details
Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I'd always imagined hallucinations were dangerous, scary and rare; nothing like those tricks of imagination and under-stimulated hearing on a silent night. A voice says your name when nobody's there—that's just a dream isn't it? Seeing those pulsating puddles of light before a migraine? But Oliver Sacks looks for the common cause, and combines the common experience with the strange, making his book Hallucinations an oddly immediate and compelling read.
Have you ever wondered why tired and stressed out pilots might see alien spacecraft, or where the universal monsters of fairytales come from. The mind plays intriguing tricks, it seems. And while this book includes rather more drug-induced visions that I'd expected, it also lumps together the ordinary and mundane with the only slightly odd and the increasingly strange.
The book touches on PTSD and its effects on the brain, stress and the illness once termed hysteria, cause, effect, and different types of memory. It's an absorbing, endlessly fascinating read, and it's far more immediate and personal than I'd expected. Not my favorite book by Sacks, it's a thoroughly good read just the same.
Disclosure: Bought at an airport bookstore for reading on a plane.
In this book, Oliver Sacks talks about many types of hallucinations. We first think of visual or audial hallucinations, but any sense can be suspect. He also covers disease-based, fatigue-based, phantom limbs, narcotics, shell shock/trauma, and others.
Much of the book is case studies, he throws in some historical context and a little neurology. In some cases he discusses brain imaging relating to the hallucinations.
The book seemed long, the case studies didn't really offer a lot of variety in many cases. Yet at times it became very interesting, but it wasn't sustained.
There is a lot of information, but it isn't one of his better books.
Very educational but sometimes the technical / medical terms need to be read more than once. This was the first Oliver Sacks book I have read and I some times got the impression it was a drawing together of his other works all of which are referenced numerous times. Also the number and frequency of medical terms mean that some people may be put off entirely.
Oliver Sacks helps us see ourselves transformed into magical beings who can recreate the very fabric of our lives. When we see that what we have always done is actually the mind at variance with itself in some aspect, it can become pretty heavy. In a good way. Fun investigation into how many of us can be in thrall to these either pesky [or enthralling] apparitions.
Oliver Sacks was a brilliant neuroscientist but an even better writer. I have read at least 6 of his books and enjoyed every one of them. More to the point, I learned something from each one. This book is no exception. Unfortunately Sacks died a few weeks ago and, unless he had something in the works, his autobiography, On the Move, will be his last book. There are some of his older books that I have not read and I will savour them.
If I had ever thought about hallucinations I guess I would have thought that they were something people with mental health problems experienced. As Sacks has shown in the book hallucinations can be the result of many diseases or conditions and most of them are due to some change in the brain. Hallucinations can be visual, auditory, tactile or olfactory. They can last for a few seconds or persist for weeks. Many famous people including Sacks himself have experienced hallucinations.
Most people are reluctant to tell others that they have experienced hallucinations, fearing that doctors will diagnose them with a mental illness. That is a possible result. In the chapter called "Hearing Things" Sacks relates a 1973 experiment in which 8 people presented themselves at a variety of hospitals across the United States with a complaint of hearing voices. "They told the hospital staff that they could not really make out what the voices said but that they heard the words 'empty', 'hollow' and 'thud'. Apart from this fabrication, they behaved normally and recounted their own (normal) past experiences and medical history." All of these people were admitted to hospital for up to two months and diagnosed with schizophrenia or manic-depressive psychosis. None of the medical staff discovered that these patients were in an experiment. Interestingly, real patients figured it out. One said "You're not crazy. You're a journalist or a professor."
I would think that people who have experienced hallucinations and not told anyone would be encouraged by this book. It is obvious that hallucinations are much more common than is believed. Since they can be signs of some abnormality in the brain it would be important to have the issue discussed and examined.
"Why Kermit?" This was the question asked by a woman who started to have hallucinations of the "Sesame Street" frog many times a day, several weeks after brain surgery. Kermit meant nothing to her, she said, and his shifting moods -- sometimes he looked sad, sometimes happy, occasionally angry -- had nothing to do with her own feelings.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0307957241, Hardcover)Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2012: A familiar song on mental repeat, a shadowy movement in an empty house--many of us experience minor visual and auditory hallucinations and think nothing of it. Neurologist and professor Oliver Sacks concerns himself with those for whom such breaks with reality are acute and life altering. Dr. Sacks' latest book--one of the most compelling in his fascinating oeuvre--centers on Charles Bonnet syndrome, a condition characterized by intricate visual hallucinations. Weaving together case studies with anecdotes from his own past and accessible medical explanations, Dr. Sacks introduces us to Sharon, whose vision is invaded by Kermit the Frog; Gertie, whose phantasmal gentleman caller visits each evening, bearing gifts; and a host of other patients whose experiences elicit both sympathy and self-reflection. (The good doctor also shares his own experiments with hallucinogenic drugs, to comic and insightful effect.) Hallucinations is Oliver Sacks at his best: as learned, introspective, and approachable as we could possibly imagine. --Mia Lipman
The Neurological and the Divine: An Interview with Oliver Sacks
The following is an excerpt from a Q&A with Dr. Sacks published on Omnivoracious, the Amazon Books blog. Click here to read the full interview.
Mia Lipman: In Hallucinations, you mention that your childhood migraines are one of the reasons you became a neurologist. How did they help shape your path?
Dr. Sacks: My experiences go back to my first memories of when I was three or four, suddenly seeing a brilliant zigzag which seemed to be vibrating, then enlarged and covered everything to one side. This has happened innumerable times since, but that first time was very terrifying…I know I was in the garden, and part of the garden wall seemed to disappear, and I asked my mother about it. She too had classical migraines, so she explained what it was about and said that it was benign and it would only last a few minutes, and I'd be none the worse. So though I'm not in love with the attacks, it's nice to know that one can live with this quite well.
So that early experience made you curious about why this was happening to you?
Indeed, and there were other experiences. Sometimes it was just color, perhaps in one half of the visual field, or things would be frozen and I couldn't see any movement. So I think this gave me a very early feeling that it's only the privilege of a normal brain which allows us to see the way we do—and that what seems to be a simple vision in fact must have dozens of different components, and any one of these can go down. So it was a learning experience for me as well.
Speaking of learning experiences, you talk in the book about a period in your 30s when you did a lot of hallucinogenic drugs—
Ah, I thought that would come up. [Laughing.]
Of course, it's the best part! I especially liked your description of the results as "a mix of the neurological and the divine." What did this self-experimentation teach you about your field, as well as personally?
I can't conceal that my motives were sort of mixed, but these were learning experiences as well as recreational ones, and occasionally terrifying ones. The gain, I think, [is that] it's a way of revealing various capacities and incapacities in the brain, including, perhaps, mystical ones…I quote William James, who, after taking nitrous oxide, said that it showed him there were many forms of consciousness other than rational consciousness, and that these seem to be uncovered one by one. And that's quite an experience. I do not recommend it to anybody, and I hope my writing about these things is not seen as a recommendation. I think I'm very lucky to have survived them, which several of my friends and contemporaries didn't.

WINDER - Following Friday night's game with Clarke Central, Madison County coach Dan Lampe's beige sweater vest was peppered with spots from when his team tried to pour water on him in celebration.
He wasn't completely doused but, like the Lady Raiders' effort against the Lady Gladiators, it was good enough.
Madison County's defense made up for its sporadic offense in the finals of the Region 8-AAAA tournament to beat Clarke Central for the third time this season, 51-40, at Winder-Barrow High School. It's the second region title in three years for the Lady Raiders, the last one coming in 2007.
"I saw it coming," Lampe said of his team's attempt at drenching him. "I can remember the dry years, so this is really big for us."
Lampe can also remember the 2008 region tournament, when he and his team were the ones taking the picture with the runner-up trophy as Clarke Central celebrated its title victory.
"I said I would never take that photo again," the coach said.
Senior Courtney Freeman was named tournament's most valuable player, despite scoring just seven points in the final.
Her right contact lens was knocked out in the first half and since she was without her spare, Freeman had to play the majority of the game with only partial vision.
"I just could not focus on anything," Freeman said. "I was going to play through it regardless."
Her teammates covered for her in the low-scoring contest. Lauren Smith scored 20 points and Freeman's younger sister Kayla Freeman added 11.
It was the Lady Raiders' defense, however, that clinched the title.
Freshman Sam Lazear came in off the bench in the final eight minutes and scored the first five points of the fourth quarter for Madison County, finishing with seven points.
The Lady Raiders held Clarke Central to its lowest offensive output of the season and just nine first-half points.
"The defense was rock solid," Lampe said. "Championships are won with defense and that is like 70 percent of what we worked on in practice."
Although the Lady Gladiators had nine players score points, none of them reached double digits. Aja Sorrells led the team with eight points and Cierra Jackson, Dayna Edwards and Cassie Evans scored six points each.
After the game, Clarke Central coach Carla Johnson had a hard time coming up with the words to explain her team's performance.
"We didn't come with our normal energy," she said after shaking her head a few times. "I don't know why. ... I don't understand how you can't get pumped up for a region championship game."
Clarke Central beat Madison County in last year's region championship 71-50 but lost most of the significant playing time of that team to graduation.
The Lady Gladiators will take a No. 2 seed to next week's state tournament, with Madison County taking a top seed.
Both teams are hoping to build off of Friday's performance, especially on offense.
"I think a lot of it was nerves, but we'll settle down," Lampe said.
The poor shooting that marred Madison County's 43-37 win over Loganville in the semifinals on Tuesday looked like it was back early on Friday.
The Lady Raiders went 7-for-20 from the field and 1-for-8 from the free-throw line in the first half. Clarke Central's struggles were even more pronounced, hitting just three field goals in the first half to trail 16-9 at halftime.
The Lady Gladiators were held scoreless for the first five minutes of the second quarter.
"We could just never get it going," Johnson said. "Nobody really stepped up when Madison did. We just never responded."
The Lady Raiders used an eight-point run in the third quarter to extend their lead to 15 points, the biggest differential of the night. Clarke Central pulled to within six points early in the fourth quarter, but never had an unanswered field goal after that.
As they exited the gym to their makeshift locker room in a Winder-Barrow classroom, the Lady Raiders appeared calm - just before they unleashed their water attack on Lampe.
With the team eating dinner together after the game, Lampe's players knew they would have a second chance.
"We'll get him," Courtney Freeman said.

Here is my baby girl at 11 weeks at the time of the diagnosis.
Here she is at birth.
6 months.
Here she is at 1 year.
Here she is now. My perfectly healthy petite little girl. I have never known anyone to enjoy life as much as she does. She wakes up giggling, and falls asleep singing. Simple things make her smile and laugh and most of all she loves her family! If she only knew how much we love her! (But I think she does) I will say though, she is what the genetic councilor said she might be if she pulled through...a trouble maker!!! Woooey do we have our hands full :)
I hope this can bring some of you newly diagnosed ladies some hope. I know how you are feeling and what a scary helpless state it can be. Please keep your faith and your hope. Miracles happenmore often than you think! You can read the full story in pictures in my fb photo album: https://m.facebook.com/home.php?refid=13

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Whenever Penn State coach James Franklin has been asked recently about Christian Hackenberg, he consistently has mentioned finding the "pieces of the puzzle" - choosing from an inexperienced corps of offensive linemen and wide receivers - to place around the Nittany Lions quarterback.
Franklin won't say he is worried, but most of Nittany Nation is. The offensive line returns only one starter, and three of the early projected starting five have not played a single down there. Most of the wide receivers are young, talented, and raw.
For his part, though, Hackenberg sounded on Monday as if he doesn't have a worry in the world when it comes to these "pieces."

I'm completely fed up with being constipated and want to take something. Any advice. Prunes aren't doing the trick. Ugh!
Has anyone taken a laxative?
Me: 42; Married to Tom: 46; beloved dog, Hank: 3.
�Thomas Eli William Beaty arrived March 16, 2010
My doctor told me to take Miralax for my constipation, and it is really helping a lot. I mix it in with a small glass of Apple Juice every two or three days in the morning (you can do it every day if necessary), and usually by that evening, or the next morning at the latest, I am able to go. Essentially, my doc said that I could end up with hemorrhoids if I didn't take care of the problem, so for around $10 I consider Miralax worth the money.
Kristina, wife to Carl (Oct. 7, 2006)
Mommy to Vance (March 19, 2010) via c-section at 9lbs, 22.5 inches long
I used a stool softener which did the trick. Dulcolax...they have laxatives too...but the softener really got stuff moving without you having to spend the day in the bathroom.
Kelly, 36
Chloe Alena 3/10/10 8lbs, 5oz , 19 1/4"
I have serious constipation issues each pregnancy & also am a RN that has worked on ob floors. We always gave our constipated pregnant patients surfak (a stool softener) every day, sometimes twice a day. If they still need more help, we give them maalox.
This pregnancy for me surfak once a day keeps me regular. I haven't tried Miralax. I'll have to check into that too.
Can you get Surfak over the counter?
~Robin~DD Samantha 3-08,Baby GIRL # 2 C-Section 3/10/10, MC Riley 2/8/09
Def ask the doctor or the pharmasist. My DH bought me some stool softener the other day and it had the opposite effect on me... instead of constpated I was going every 10 minutes, so beware! I will not be taking them anymore. But my constapation has gotten better over the past few days.
Shannon (25)- Loving Wife to my personal GI JOE - Austin(26)
Proud parents to our spunky Lyla 3-6-10
Jelly Bean - Due - 10/1/13!!
My doctor told me that I could take Ducolax as well as Miralax...but I needed immediate relief since I was almost in tears from not going for so long. So I resorted to my final option they gave me which was the Ducolax suppositories. I didn't want to try them but they gave me relief in about 15 minutes and it wasn't TOO bad. And honestly, I haven't had any more problems since.
Amber(29) & Rickey(30)
Colton James ~ 3.23.10
Ryder Chase ~ 1.17.12
Odd, my CNM and ob/gyn told me that laxatives are a BIG NO-NO during pregnancy because they can cause uterine contractions. Stool softeners are fine, but laxatives, no. I asked about taking my dd's MiraLax and was immediately told that I couldn't for that reason.
Yes Surfak is a good one and so is Colace. Anything else I wouldn't touch.
If you can stand real black licorice that can help soften your stool, too.
Tanja - Mommy to Peanut (1.05), Bean (3.10) and Chicken Nugget due 09.26.12!
Having kids is a lot like being pecked to death by a chicken.
You can't take just any laxative. I feel like I'm an expert in this area because I suffer from this regardless if I'm pregnant. Hands down the best thing is Miralax. My doc said it was fine and it causes no cramping at all. I've tried colace, senakot, milk of magnesia. I mix miralax with my apple juice at dinner and sure enough, the next morning I go. I strongly endorse Miralax! You can't even taste it.
**Expecting our first on 3/5/10!
The right medicine can be a huge relief. I would talk to your doctor/midwife about what they are comfortable with you using, but go ahead, ask and use. You aren't doing yourself any favors by being uncomfortable.
If the problem keeps happening and you are drinking plenty of water, consider a metamucil fiber pill with every big meal. It is just fiber, no stimulants and it helps keep everything moving smoothly!
My doctor recommended Colase as well... this is also what I took after the birth of my last baby.
