Imagia 1 - The Tower is the first in a new series of fine looking (and sounding) point'n'click games, which have an artistic angle, and that have some nice, not too difficult, not overly simplistic, puzzles (judging from episode one at least, which I managed to get through with only a couple of hitches, but I did only find 6 of 8 'secrets'). All in all a very enjoyable first episode [subbed by Ralf].
UPDATE: Currently the link to the game seems to have died, I'm guessing a bandwidth problem; check back later (it's worth it) if you can't play when you try.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Thanks to Jay and Ralf for the new link :)
ANOTHER UPDATE: The game is now back on the original address.

How to change the location and format of Mac screenshots
As a tech blogger, I take a lot of screenshots on my Mac and iOS devices to illustrate my posts. I use the built-in screen-capture tool on my MacBook Pro to snap a portion of my screen (Command-Shift-4) or the full screen (Command-Shift-3). These screenshots by default get saved to the desktop. Thus, after a busy day or three of blogging, my desktop begins to get a bit cluttered.
Thanks to a helpful tip on AddictiveTips, I am now saving these screenshots to a designated folder. All it takes is entering a bit of code to Terminal. And, if you … Read more

Ireland's main broadcaster RTE has estimated that only about half of the 3.1 million eligible voters took part in a referendum on a key European Union fiscal pact that is designed to strengthen the euro.
Opinion polls taken ahead of Thursday's vote, which is seen as a verdict on EU and IMF-imposed austerity measures, indicated that the majority of Irish votes were likely to vote to back the accord, but low turnout suggests the results might be close.
Prime Minister Enda Kenny said on Wednesday that by ratifying the fiscal pact, which would punish countries that sign up if they fail to balance their budgets, Ireland would send a signal it will "never run riot with the people's money again".
"This is about stability, bringing confidence to the euro," the premier said as he campaigned at Dublin railway station.
Kenny said a 'yes' vote on the German-backed pact would show Europe that Ireland could lead by example.
"When we take over the EU presidency next year we want to be very effective," he told AFP. "A strong 'yes' vote adds to the respect and our credibility with our colleagues in Europe."
A result is not expected until Friday.
'Austerity doesn't work'
Ireland was forced to seek an 85bn-euro ($106bn) bailout from the EU and IMF in 2010 after its property bubble burst and its banking sector was left on the brink of collapse.
The debt-laden government argues that only countries that ratify the fiscal pact can get guaranteed help from the European Stability Mechanism, the permanent bailout fund that comes into force in July and which it may well have to access.
Four opinion polls at the weekend suggested that around 60 per cent of voters would back the treaty - but with a third still undecided, there is still a possibility Ireland could deliver a shock "no" vote, as it has done in two previous EU referendums.
Critics of the pact have been quick to tap into public anger against the tax rises and spending cuts brought in after the bailout, branding it an "austerity treaty" as it ultimately empowers the EU to fine countries that overspend.
"We know that austerity doesn't work, and that's increasingly what people are saying in mainland Europe," Gerry Adams, leader of the Sinn Fein, the main party opposing the pact, said outside the Irish parliament.
"It is not a good thing for us to hand over fiscal authority to unaccountable bureaucrats."
Constantin Gurdgiev, a Dublin-based economist, told Al Jazeera that a 'no' vote would be surprising, but would have significant implications.
"The 'no' vote would throw a significant surprise both into the European equation, and also into the Irish policy-makers situation as well. First of all the 'no' vote will mean a huge uncertainty, or a very significant uncertainty about the future funding for the Irish state, especially once the current bailout package runs out in 2013," he said.
"However, at the same time, [Irish voters] are very aware right now that the entire equation, the entire crisis is now moving on. It has now swept across Spain and now the entire European Stabilisation Mechanism is under threat."
A "no" vote in Thursday's referendum would not halt the fiscal pact - which all 27 EU members except Britain and the Czech Republic have signed - as it will come into force after just 12 countries have ratified it.

Senate Democrats Want Four Percent Growth for Schools in Fiscal 2014By Rod Boshart, Reporter
DES MOINES, Iowa – Senate Democrats announced Thursday they would be seeking a four percent increase in base funding for K-12 schools for the fiscal year beginning on July 1.
Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, called the four percent "allowable growth" increase a "modest" boost that would translate into about $134 million in state aid from the general fund for the fiscal 2014 budgeting year. Majority Senate Democrats also propose taking $38.5 million from the state's special taxpayer trust fund account to cover the property tax implications of a four percent boost in state aid -- $16 million to cover the 12.5 percent property tax share under the school aid formula and another $22 million to address tax inequities between "property-rich" and "property-poor" school districts. "The state's reserve and rainy day funds are overflowing," Senate President Pam Jochum, D-Dubuque said. "After several years of tight budgets, it is simply not true that the state can't do more to help pay for basic school needs like textbooks, heating classrooms and paying salaries. We can do more for education and we can do it without increasing property taxes." Shawn Snyder of the Legislative Services Agency said a 4 percent allowable growth would boost per-pupil funding by $240 -- from the current $6,001 per student to $6,241 in fiscal 2014. He calculated the cost to the state's general fund would be about $136 million and the property tax share would be $42.4 million under the foundation aid formula. He said the Democrats' property tax proposal would cover all but about $3.4 million from the state's taxpayer account. Iowa education forward-funding law requires lawmakers to set the "allowable growth" rate nearly 18 months in advance after they receive the governor's recommendations. Gronstal said he expects the Senate to complete work on the 4 percent allowable growth proposal for fiscal 2014 by the end of January and then proceed to finalizing the growth rate for fiscal 2015. He said his 26-member caucus has not decided what percentage increase to request for the 2014-15 school year. House Democratic Leader Kevin McCarthy, D-Des Moines, said minority Democrats in the House have not discussed their allowable growth recommendations but he expected they would support at least a 4 percent increase for fiscal 2014. He said it was imperative that the General Assembly move quickly because Iowa's 348 school districts are finalizing their budget decisions and may have to start sending out "pink slips" to teachers and other personnel if there is no certainty soon in how much state money they can expect to fund the next school year. House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, R-Hiawatha, said at first blush the 4 percent growth rate that Senate Democrats are proposing for K-12 schools in fiscal 2014 does not seem sustainable for future years. "That's a lot of money," he told reporters. "That would be difficult to carry forward." Earlier this week, Gov. Terry Branstad detailed a five-year, $187 million education reform proposal that would increase pay for new educators – from a minimum of $28,000 to a minimum of $35,000 in the next five years – and redo career paths for teachers previously approved in 2001 but never adequately funded. He hoped the changes would garner the respect the teaching profession deserves but he signaled that he expects lawmakers to approve the reforms before talks turn to education spending. To that end, he did not include any new money in his fiscal 2014 budget proposal to fund "allowable growth" for K-12 schools. That did not sit well with House Democratic Leader Kevin McCarthy, D-Des Moines, who took the governor's remarks as a "my-way-or-the-highway" ultimatum. He said having the GOP governor "trying to bully" legislators is not helpful when it appears that he will need support from Democrats to pass his education reform package in a House where Republicans hold a 53-46 majority. Paulsen rebutted McCarthy's comments by saying he didn't take the governor's budget plan or Condition of the State speech remarks as an ultimatum. The speaker said Branstad made a "reasonable" request for improving Iowa's education system and he hoped lawmakers would address it "in an expedient fashion." He said it was Democrats who remain "dug in" on their property tax relief position and have made critical comments on the governor's proposals to provide property tax relief and education reform. Paulsen said he expected a House subcommittee would begin work next week on the governor's education reform plan while Gronstal said Senate Democrats planned to move forward on the allowable growth issue, adding "it's time for the state of Iowa to step up and do the right thing for Iowa's students."

I'm a little confused and need help. If a Michigan commit is unsuitable to continue to be considered a viable target because he commited and broke his commitment by visiting other schools, he thereby does not demonstrate the character we require. Then how is it that commitmment to other schools that does the same by visiting Michigan doesn't exhibit the same lack of character, and is therefore just as unsuitable as our commitment who did likewise?

... what?
We're not saying that kids who visit other schools have character issues. Conley has handled it very well and we wish him the best. Guys like Pharaoh Brown and David Dawson are a different story because it seems like they deliberately lied to the coaches and went behind their backs, trying to hide the visit from them.
It's not unethical for a committed kid to take visits. It's unethical to try to lie about it and hide those visits.

CV/GATE & NOTE Effects ???
In the control voltages could still fit a lot.. After all, it is what makes Reason unique?! is it ? My suggestions would be: Delay for Gates and Notes (Poly) Chorder for Notes --> press one, get three or more Compressor to smoothen some saw´s or wild mixed control voltages, or to smooth the velocity intensity. Quantizer for Gates/Notes and also to transform a sine-wave into a sine-wave with a stair-step 4th/8th/16th/etc. pp. And a global Midi/CV (keyboard) Input device/unit Also an output device unit which is routeable to a track or ccomes from a track.. ;-) to record the notes or voltage curves or give me the playback of them.. than i can split my voltage cables and record them to a track maybe export them.. and if i import some files, the new "Voltage Track" create a device/unit.. some RE ? which is in my rack and has the outputs to connect with other synths or something. I hope someone understands my bad english A simple in-out module (for Control voltages) which is linked to a sequencer track thats it.. Last edited by devilfish; 2012-10-12 at 16:12. |

To start - a look at the science of cooking. Here's one of my best kitchen tips, followed by a super invitation for you and yours.
Kitchen Science Tip #1: Vegetables have secrets!
What's their secret? Vegetables are sweet.
If you find yourself saying, "vegetables aren't sweet Laura," then consider the lowly onion. Bite into it raw and yoweee! That's not sweet. But chop it up and start to sauté what happens? Pieces start browning, carbohydrates start caramelizing and then .? Ahhh, sweet surprise! This amazing transformation can happen to ANY vegetable, not just onions, but it requires a temperature of 330°F or higher .
So, are you smarter than a fifth grader? What temperature does water boil at?
Answer: 212°F or 100°C
Throw out the addition of moisture in this chemical equation, if you only boil (god forbid) or steam your veggies, the temperature doesn't get hot enough to bring out those "secrets."

When you play the offensive line, anonymity is part of the genetic mix that goes along with the job.
The television announcers and cameras naturally focus on the quarterback and other skill positions, and the defense gets its fair share of attention with sack masters in the line, hard hitting linebackers and ball hawking defensive backs.
Meanwhile, like Old Man River, the offensive line just keeps rolling along, and nobody notices anything until there is a sack or penalty.
We also hear all the time how offensive linemen have to be developed, that it takes two or three years for a draft choice to work his way into the lineup as a productive player.
We know this is true, because that's how it almost always happens.
The "almost" part is the exception, we have is Ryan Clady.
Not only was the Broncos' first-round draft choice from Boise State anointed as the starting left tackle on draft day by Head Coach Mike Shanahan, but he has not just performed to the Broncos' lofty expectations.
He has exceeded them.
Clady is a pure rookie, and he has taken every snap at left tackle for the Broncos this year.
He has not allowed a quarterback sack.
He has picked up just one holding penalty.
The Denver line at this time is on pace to allow the fewest sacks per pass attempt in National Football League history.
Of course, it is a long season with most of it still to come, but that is a sobering reflection of just how good the line and Clady have been.
In addition, while down the last three weeks the offensive stats still are such that one might easily expect the Broncos to finish in the upper echelons of NFL total offense.
Jay Cutler and a bevy of star receivers legitimately get the lion's share of attention, but let's not overlook the guys in the trenches, and particularly the rookie at left tackle.
Clady's position is widely understood as the key point of pass protection for a team with a right handed quarterback, and the Broncos this year celebrated the induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame of left tackle Gary Zimmerman.
The point is, it is a really important position, and the left tackle faces the best pass rushers in the game, week in and week out.
It is understandable that other guys get more attention, but when you think of who the top rookies in the NFL are this year, don't forget the mild mannered young man from Boise State –who is protecting his quarterback better than any other left tackle in the game.

James Rouse

Died | 9 April 1996 |

James Wilson Rouse (April 26, 1914 – April 9, 1996), founder of The Rouse Company, was a pioneering American real estate developer, urban planner, civic activist, and later, free enterprise-based philanthropist.
Youth, education, early career[edit]
James "Jim" Rouse was born in Easton, Maryland, the son of Lydia Agnes (née Robinson) and Willard Goldsmith Rouse, a canned-foods broker. His father, a lawyer trained at Johns Hopkins University, once ran as the state's attorney for Harford County. When he lost, the Rouse family moved from Bel Air, Maryland to Easton.[1][2] Rouse grew up in Easton (then population: 5,000) on a well-to-do street on the edge of town. He was taught at home by his mother until second grade, when he was transferred to a public school (which found him to be well prepared enough to skip a grade). At the age of 16, in his senior year of high school, Rouse faced significant life changes: he lost his father and mother to illness, and childhood home on Brooklett's Avenue to bank foreclosure. Rouse was encouraged by his siblings to improve his chances for college admission by doing a year of preparatory school at the private Tome School in Port Deposit, Maryland.
Facing money problems and unable to continue at the Tome School, the Rouse family sought a way for him to attend college by appealing to his oldest sister, who had married a Navy officer stationed in Hawaii. Rouse declared himself his sister's dependent and, with Navy connections now secured, was thereby able to attend the University of Hawaii at a greatly reduced cost. Despite the exotic lure of the islands, Rouse missed Maryland. Again, the Rouse family found a scholarship for Jim at the University of Virginia. He declared his major as political science and waited tables at a local boarding house. Not being able to cover the gap between his scholarship and his remaining expenses, he proposed leaving Charlottesville and moving to Baltimore to try to make it on his own.
In 1933, Rouse arrived in Baltimore in search of opportunity. He was fortunate to find a job parking cars at the St. Paul Garage. He later remarked that he got the job even though he could not drive. He convinced his foreman to teach him rather than fire him. Although he had only two years of undergraduate college on his transcript, in the 1930s that was enough to qualify for law school. He borrowed money from a family friend who was a loan officer and attended classes three nights at the University of Maryland law school. He worked in the garage one year, then started with the Federal Housing Administration as a clerk specializing in completing FHA loans to eastern Maryland banks.[3]
Rouse graduated in 1937 and in 1939 left the FHA and became partner with Hunter Moss at a mortgage banking firm called the Moss-Rouse Company funded by a $20,000 loan from Moss's sister, which would eventually become the Rouse Company. The company would specialize in FHA backed loans, and hired Churchill G. Carey from Connecticut General, with his former company providing loan capitol to Moss-Rouse.[4] In 1952, Moss would leave the firm after Rouse brought in his brother Bill as vice president.[5]
After World War II he co-founded the Citizens Housing and Planning Association and became involved in Baltimore, Maryland's efforts to rehabilitate its decayed housing stock through The Baltimore Plan. The national publicity of this program led to his participation in Dwight D. Eisenhower's National Housing Task Force starting in 1953. He introduced (or at least helped popularize) the term "urban renewal" to describe the series of recommendations made by that task force.
Shopping malls[edit]
In 1958, Rouse built Harundale Mall in Glen Burnie, Maryland, the first enclosed shopping center east of the Mississippi River and the first built by a real estate developer. His company used the term "mall" to describe the development, which was an alternative to the more typical strip malls usually built in the suburbs (the "mall" in "strip mall" came into usage later, after the enclosed mall had been popularized by Rouse's company). Although many now attribute the rise of the shopping mall to the decline of the American downtown core, Rouse's focus at the time was on the introduction of malls as a form of town center for the suburbs.
His company became an active developer and manager of shopping center and mall properties, even as he shifted focus to new projects which eventually included planned communities and festival marketplaces.
Harundale Mall has been replaced by Harundale Plaza. In 1999, the mall reopened and redeveloped as Harundale Plaza, a strip shopping center. Stores include A.J. Wright, a Super Fresh supermarket, Outback Steakhouse, Hollywood Video, Burlington Coat Factory, and a U.S. Post Office, along with several other typical strip-mall stores. The signature "rock" from Harundale Mall is now at Harundale Plaza.
Planned communities[edit]
In the 1960s Rouse turned his focus to planned communities. After engaging in a planning exercise for the Pocatinco Hills estate of the Rockefellers, Rouse constructed his first planned residential development: the Village of Cross Keys in Baltimore. On June 16, 1961, Rouse bought 68 acres (280,000 m2) inside the city from the Baltimore Country Club for $25,000 an acre. Rouse excitedly proclaimed that this undertaking "will be the largest, and potentially most important development in the history of Baltimore." Rouse hoped that he could bring to the residential field "some of the fresh thinking, good taste and high standards which we believe have marked our shopping center developments."
Familiar with bad housing in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., Rouse now had an opportunity to demonstrate what housing within a city's borders could be like. "There is a real need for residential development," he said, "in which there is a strong sense of community; a need to feed into the city some of the atmosphere and pace of the small town and village; a need to create a community which can meet as many as possible of the needs of the people who live there; which can bring these people into natural contact with one another; which can produce out of these relationships a spirit and feeling of neighborliness and a rich sense of belonging to a community." In a city that practiced strict racial segregation, Rouse intended Cross Keys to be open to all who could afford to live there. The development was a mixture of townhouses, garden apartments, a high-rise apartment house designed by Frank Gehry, stores grouped around a village square, and an office complex. By 1970, the Village of Cross Keys had become among the most desirable places to live in the Baltimore area.
While Cross Keys was still under construction, Rouse decided to build a whole new city. The creation of Columbia, Maryland, between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., was the greatest adventure of Rouse's life. Columbia was the ultimate opportunity: the chance to embody his ideals in a whole new city. For the undertaking that would become Columbia, Rouse turned to his partner in previous projects, the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company ("CG"). At a meeting at company headquarters in Hartford, Rouse made his pitch to CG's top real estate and mortgage people and the company's chairman of the board, Frazar B. Wilde. The questioning was mostly negative, until Wilde joined in. He expressed the view that CG couldn't lose. If Rouse's project did not succeed, the land could always be sold, and probably for a higher price than what it cost.
The land for the new city would be owned by a subsidiary called Howard Research and Development Corporation. CG would own half of that corporation and Rouse's corporation the other half. Rouse would be responsible for the management of the acquired land and for preparing a master plan for development. CG also put up some of the money for Columbia's infrastructure. The rest was supplied by Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association and the Chase Manhattan Bank.
By the end of the summer of 1963 close to 14,000 acres (57 km2) of Howard County farmland had been acquired, and the time was at hand to begin planning what to do with it. Rouse wanted to hear from a wide assortment of experts and scholars. He brought together an assemblage which became known as "the Work Group." It consisted of top people in health, family life, education, recreation, government, transportation, and employment. Ultimately emerging was the idea that the new city should be a real multi-faceted city, not a bedroom suburb. It should be possible for its residents to find everything they needed right there—jobs, education, recreation, health care, and any other necessity.
Rouse was not reluctant to bring up his home town of Easton as a model for Columbia. Consensus formed around the idea that the basic subdivision within the new city should be the village, a unit of from 10,000-15,000 people. This number was thought to be the most likely to foster a local feeling of identification: for merchants to get to know their customers, ministers their memberships, and teachers their pupils and parents.
Within the city, there would be 12 villages. Each village would have a central gathering place where people of different income levels and types of housing would cross paths and mix. Each village would have a middle school and a high school, a teen center, a supermarket, a library, a hospital, an auditorium, offices, restaurants, some specialty shops, and a few larger recreational facilities. It also would have a multi-denominational house of worship known as an "interfaith center." The hope was that one building would be used by several religions.
In addition to the villages there would be a core area that would function as the new city's "downtown." In it would be the central office of the city's governing body, the Columbia Association. Here would be the main cluster of retail stores (arranged as a mall), a hotel and conference center, a hospital, movie theaters and a concert hall, a community college, and branches of the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Peabody Conservatory of Music.
The main entertainment area was to be known as Tivoli, after the entertainment area in Copenhagen. Early on, Rouse said that he hoped Tivoli would be a place "where, under the benign influence of having fun and relaxing in familiar ways, people would have opportunities, especially attractively and conveniently presented, for discovering new ways to enjoy their free time—new foods, new visual and tactile aesthetic experiences, even new social relations." Rouse wanted the town center in Columbia to provide the most comprehensive range of recreational activities and services that had ever been contemplated in a new town.
Festival marketplaces[edit]
Starting in the mid-1970s and continuing into the 1980s Rouse shifted focus to what he ended up calling the "festival marketplace", of which the Faneuil Hall Marketplace was the first and most successful example. Completed in 1976, the Faneuil Hall Marketplace (comprising Quincy Market and other spaces adjacent to Boston's Faneuil Hall) was designed by architect Benjamin C. Thompson and was a financial success, an act of historic preservation, and an anchor for urban revitalization. However, at its inception, it was considered a highly risky venture, and many critics felt it was doomed to fail. Rouse's innovative business vision looked obvious in retrospect, but it was a bold, contrarian move with few supporters at the outset.
Other examples of Rouse Company "festival marketplace" developments include South Street Seaport in New York City, The Gallery at Market East, in Philadelphia, Harborplace in Baltimore, St. Louis Union Station in St. Louis, Downtown Portland's Pioneer Place, and the Riverwalk Marketplace of New Orleans. The early festival marketplaces like Faneuil Hall and Harborplace led TIME magazine to dub Rouse "the man who made cities fun again."
After 40 years at the Rouse Company, James Rouse retired from day-to-day management in 1979. Soon afterwards, he and his wife founded the Enterprise Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation funded in part by a for-profit subsidiary, The Enterprise Development Company, and focused on seeding partnerships with community groups that would address the need for affordable housing and associated social services for poor neighborhoods.
Rouse was inducted into the Junior Achievement U.S. Business Hall of Fame in 1981. In 1988, Rouse was awarded the second Honor Award from the National Building Museum.
The Rouse Theatre in Wilde Lake High School is named after James. In May 2006, an approximately four-mile stretch of Maryland Route 175 between Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 29 in Columbia, Maryland, was named after Rouse and his wife, Patty. Patty Rouse died on March 5, 2012.
Rouse received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1995.
In 1978, Rouse received the S. Roger Horchow Award for Greatest Public Service by a Private Citizen, an award given out annually by Jefferson Awards.[6]

Some smart appliances aren't smart at all
Wednesday - 1/25/2012, 4:32am  ET
WASHINGTON - Smart electronics are all the buzz these days, but not all of them are truly intelligent.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, tons of gadgets showed off their smart appeal. The New York Times reports that at least a few fell flat, however.
Take the smart refrigerator. The idea is to allow the owner to control the device remotely, including being able to being able to look inside the fridge.
Unfortunately, the appliances fail to keep track of anything and have to instead be operated manually, the New York Times reports.
Experts say that efforts to make kitchens smarter are just starting, and products will get smarter and cheaper in the coming years.

Hawkeye Soccer Falls to No. 15 Michigan, 2-1From Hawkeye Sports
IOWA CITY, Iowa - The University of Iowa women's soccer team opened its Big Ten Conference season with a loss to No. 15 Michigan, 2-1, on Sunday at the Iowa Soccer Complex.
The Wolverines struck first in the 22nd minute, as leading scorer Nkem Ezurike found the back of the net with a strike into the right side of the goal from just outside the box. The goal was Ezurike's sixth of the season. After trailing 1-0 at the half, freshman Bri Toelle nailed an equalizer in the 69th minute, drawing the Hawkeyes even at 1-1. Junior Cloe Lacasse and senior Ashley Catrell were credited with assists on the play. "We combined a few good passes and got a good cross in," said Toelle. "I took a nice touch and finished it." Michigan wasted no time regaining the lead, as Kayla Mannino got into the box and knocked a header past Hannah Clark off of a free kick to make the score 2-1 just 59 seconds later. Iowa had several opportunities to tie the game, but were unable to net a second equalizer. Junior Emily Scott and Alex Melin sent shots just over the crossbar in the 81st and 82nd minutes consecutively, and junior Anne Marie Thomas headed the ball high in the 89th minute in the Hawkeyes' last attack. Chances were slim for both squads during the entire match, with the Hawkeyes out shooting Michigan, 12-7. Iowa has outscored its opponent in every match this season. "In the Big Ten, you've got to work with what you're given," said junior Caitlin Brown. "No team in this conference is to be taken lightly." The loss moves the Hawkeyes to 8-1 overall and 0-1 in Big Ten play. Iowa plays six of its next seven games on the road. "We've got to let this hurt a little bit," said UI head coach Ron Rainey. "We need to rededicate ourselves to getting a little bit better with attacking and on the defensive end." The Hawkeyes' next match is Friday at Illinois in Champaign, Ill., at 7 p.m. (CT).

text: behaviourism, a highly influential academic school of psychology that dominated psychological theory between the two world wars. Classical behaviourism, prevalent in the first third of the 20th century, was concerned exclusively with measurable and observable data and excluded ideas, emotions, and the consideration of inner mental experience and activity in general. In behaviourism, the organism is seen as "responding" to conditions (stimuli) set by the outer environment and by inner biological processes. The previously dominant school of thought, structuralism, conceived of psychology as the science of consciousness, experience, or mind; although bodily activities were not excluded, they were considered significant chiefly in their relations to mental phenomena. The characteristic method of structuralism was thus introspection—observing and reporting on the working of one's own mind. The early formulations of behaviourism were a reaction by U.S. psychologist John B. Watson against the introspective psychologies. In Behaviorism (1924), Watson wrote that "Behaviorism claims that 'consciousness' is neither a definable nor a usable concept; that it is merely another word for the 'soul' of more ancient times. The old psychology is thus dominated by a subtle kind of religious philosophy." Watson believed that behaviourism "attempted to make a fresh, clean start ... (200 of 703 words)

Ana Sia In Concert: Moogfest 2012
By Sami Yenigun
Originally published on Mon November 5, 2012 11:21 am
Ana Sia's DJ sets pull from a broad range of dance music styles, but are centered on bass-driven electronic beats. The San Francisco-based artist revealed her first full-length compilation, Surreal Estate, on the label Frite Nite last year, which is home to some of the most exciting electronic music coming out of California.
Sia's profile is on the rise due to performances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Detroit Electronic Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, and now Moogfest.
Here, Ana Sia performs as part of Moogfest 2012 in Asheville, N.C.

Based on a blend of extra virgin olive oil and pomegranate seed oil, Pomega5's Skin Perfecting Cleansing Bar Soaps incorporate purifying and skin rejuvenating botanicals and essential oils to offer a one-of-a-kind sensory experience for the skin and soul.
What is Omega 5?
A unique essential fatty acid obtained from the seed of the pomegranate, Omega 5 is the only known botanical form of Conjugated Linolenic Acid (CLnA), also known as Punicic Acid, and one of the most potent antioxidants known to modern science. It is an 18-carbon fatty acid possessing three double bonds, with the first double bond located between the fifth and sixth carbons. While chemically similar to Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), the Omega 5 molecule is extremely unique in that it has three double bonds instead of two. Officially, its name is 9cis, 11trans, 13cis-conjugated linolenic acid.
Over the last decade, universities and scientific institutions have released a wealth of research on Omega oils, so when Pomega5 founder Tzeira Sofer first observed pomegranate seed oil's healing power several years ago, she was certain that it was due to the presence of these fatty acids. She presented the oil to medical professionals and essential fatty acid experts from around the world, including the late Dr. Zakir Ramazanov, a biochemist who had devoted much of his life to researching the benefits of unique ingredients like pomegranate seed oil. To their surprise, the extensive analysis revealed that pomegranate seed oil was not Omega 3, 6, or 9, but an Omega 5 fatty acid with a highly unusual conjugated molecular structure.
The Health Benefits:
Clinical Use
In a matter of years, pomegranate seed oil has become a "wonder" ingredient in the medical and wellness arenas. Dr. John Mathias, a leading neuro-gastroenterologist who practices in the Medical Center in Houston, Texas has been assessing the effects of pomegranate seed oil (Omega 5) for over four years. He specializes in women's hormonal and metabolic disorders, and has observed very positive results in over 100 women with moderate-to-severe endometriosis who have been consuming the Omega 5 supplement in capsule form, and also in women who have been applying the oil to their skin via Pomega5 products. As a whole, these regimented users experience prolonged alleviation of symptoms, improved digestive health, and greater hormonal balance.
Around the world, clinical studies are increasingly showing the importance of pomegranate seed oil (Omega 5) in supporting a wide range of functions, including potential use in cases of eczema, hormonal imbalance, cardiovascular disease, and various forms of cancer. Studies have also shown it to stimulate keratinocyte proliferation, which promotes regeneration of the epidermis. Given the incredible testimonials we have received over the years, Pomega is committed to continuing the legacy of research around Omega 5 essential fatty acid, with plans to conduct clinical studies in the near future.
About Pomega5
The first line to address wellness through the skin, Pomega5 is a revolutionary system of pure, luxurious skin recipes based on bioactive botanicals and rare Omega 5 oil extracted from pomegranate seeds. Using the purest, freshest organic ingredients derived wholly from nature, we strive to create efficacious products that go beyond skin care to genuinely feed and nourish the body from the outside in. Each Pomega5 product has been carefully formulated to reflect a balanced combination of essential fatty acids, botanical extracts and essential oils - completely without the use of any parabens, petrochemicals, fillers, or synthetics.
Working with doctors and experts on healing plants, founder Tzeira Sofer developed Pomega5 based on ancient recipes and support from the latest scientific research to help people achieve healthier skin and a healthier body. Pomega, Inc. was established in 2005 and is based in Marin County, California, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Conference Announcement and call for papers
Agency Problems and Conflicts of Interest in Financial Intermediaries
December 3-4, 2004 |
A conference jointly sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York, the Journal of Financial Economics (JFE),
and the Dice Center for Research in Financial Economics
of Ohio State University. Overview This conference aims to promote a better understanding of
the economic relevance of conflicts of interest in financial
intermediaries by examining: whether the conflicts were particularly
worse at the end of the 1990s; how conflicts are managed
within financial institutions; how contracting, legal, and
reputation mechanisms affect conflicts; and the role of regulatory
authorities and regulations in overseeing conflicts. |
