We can see it all now: high school biology class. We are picturing uncomfortable metal stools; lectures on lab safety;
NOVA videos
; those giant, take-over-your-entire-face safety goggles that are always scratched beyond belief. They suck on your eyeballs and oh, lest we forget about the might-as-well-be-permanent goggle marks you will be sporting for the PE class that comes right after bio lab. Luckily for you, we don't have any of that stuff. OK, there may be a few NOVA videos. However, we threw in some Bill Nye, too, just to even things out.
Welcome to Shmoop's Biology 101, your virtual home for all things vegetable, animal, and mineral. Before we jump into the beastin' world of Biology, let's go through some pros and cons of the online version, as opposed to the real thing.
You will not need to shower eight times to get the smell of formaldehyde out of your hair after dissecting those frogs.
You will not need to worry about shattering a beaker and going into DEFCON 1 as your teacher assembles a perimeter around the broken glass.
You will not be accidentally electrocuted while trying to plug in a microscope after one of your idiot classmates breaks off some metal in the socket. (Trust us, it happens. And it hurts.)
You can eat while studying. We don't know about your school, but that was generally frowned upon in our biology classes.
You can wear your pajamas! Or, nothing at all, if you really want to. Just remember to turn off your webcams first. We know
bizness isn't allowed at your regular, old, non-virtual high school.
No cleaning the mess afterward. Score.
We can't replicate that oh-so-unique biology classroom smell. Actually, maybe that's a pro.
There are no opportunities for sparkly vampire lab partners, à la
. Maybe study with a buddy to stave off those feelings of loss. What will you do without your lover with the creepy stare and an apparent anger management problem?
No killing things. This should also be a pro. Who put this here?
No touching dead things. Again, probably a pro. Rock on, Internet.
We cannot replicate the truly enlightening experience of having a semi-narcoleptic lab partner. All we have to say is, keep away all sharp objects.
No microscopes. We are not gonna lie. Microscopes are beyond awesome.
No furry bunnies, lamp-lovin' lizards, or suicidal fish that have nightmares…we mean, pleasant dreams…about students poking them, shouting at them, and forgetting to feed them. PetCo is just down the street.
No field trips to the zoo. Another legit con. Request a zoo field trip by emailing
[email protected]
Well, that settles it. Bunch of pros and…one or two cons. Looks like you are stuck using Shmoop for all of your biology needs. Although, there is nothing like a good squirt of frog juice right in your left goggle...

MEXICO CITY Mexicos largest integrated steelmaker, Altos Hornos de México SAB de CV (Ahmsa), will begin production at its new 1-million-tonne-per-year plate line by the end of March.
The plate line is part of the companys Fénix steel expansion project, which also includes a 1.5-million-tonne-per-year blast furnace, a 1.2-million-tonne-per-year electric-arc furnace and a 1.2-million-tonne-per-year slab caster.
Production at the new plate line will begin once the probationary period ends this month, Ahmsa said in a report filed with Mexicos stock exchange last week.
The expansion project, which will increase the Monclova-based companys crude steel capacity to 4.75 million tonnes per year, has entered its final stage of construction, according to the company.
The electric-arc furnace component of the project is 90 percent completed and will start operations this year, Ahmsa said. Fénix, which is expected to cost a total of $1.5 billion, will allow the steelmaker to increase both capacity and the range of steels available to supply new markets, Ahmsa added.
The company invested $1.3 billion in Fénix before Dec. 31 and it has committed a further $83 million in contracts for the project, according to the report. The Fénix project will create more than 1,500 jobs, the company said.

In this video interview, analytics and business expert Richard Zwicky explains some basics items to look at in your Google Analytics in order to better understand your customers' behavior and buying patterns. This kind of knowledge can dramtically help your sales increase.
A "hit" is a fuzzy term, says Zwicky. Actually it refers to each time the server is asked for an item. So if your webpage has 50 images, the server could receive 50 "hits."
Rather, look at "unique visitors" and "total visitors" to your site. "Total visitors" tells you the number of times anyone enters your site. "Unique visitors" tells you the number of individuals who enter your site, even if they come several times.
When you look at "pageviews" per visitor, you can learn important things. For example, if a person is reading a blog on your site, one or two pageviews might be normal. But if your visitors are looking at sales copy on your site -- and you know that a customer must see three webpages to get into your sales funnel -- then your pageviews per visitor can tell you how effective you are in preparing people to buy.
It's also important to turn on conversion / event / action tracking in your analytics package, says Zwicky. When you track conversions, you can begin to understand the user behavior that matters -- that results in a sale -- rather than being overwhelmed by the random behavior of the majority of visitors who don't buy from you.
Seek to understand what is normal behavior for visitors who become your customers so you can replicate that and increase conversions. Hiring a consultant to analyze your paths to conversion can be very valuable in making your site more effective and boosting your sales.
Richard Zwicky is a serial entrepreneur and founder of Eightfold Logic, an analytics firm. He also works with individuals regarding business strategies and opportunities. This interview was recorded at the Search Engine Strategies Conference in Chicago, October 2010.

The Act of Parenting Is Folding the Towels in a Sweet Way
by Krista Tippett, host
I picked up Sylvia Boorstein's lovely book, That's Funny, You Don't Look Buddhist, years ago and loved it. Then, several years later, I found myself on a panel discussion with her and loved her in person.
I was struck in that discussion by one story she told, about a man who participated in one of her meditation and Metta or "lovingkindness" retreats; she conducts these for Buddhist practitioners but also for rabbis and clergy and lay people of many traditions. As this man prepared to pack up and go home, he described an unsettling sense of vulnerability, of openness to life which also meant that his defenses were down. He felt blessedly sheltered in the context of that retreat but far too exposed to take his newfound vulnerability out into the world.
This has its corollary in becoming a parent, I think. One's sense of sovereignty and safety goes into freefall — and stays there. But no one tells you this in advance! As the French theologian Louis Evely beautifully put it:
"(W)hen one becomes a father, or a mother, one suddenly sees oneself as vulnerable, in the most sensitive part of one's being; one is completely powerless to defend oneself, one is no longer free, one is tied up. To become a father is to experience an infinite dependency on an infinitely small, frail being, dependent on us and therefore omnipotent over our heart."
So how to live, how to love, how to know what we can do (and what we can't) to raise children who will participate in the world's beauty and its pain and be safe inside their skin. This too is a conundrum, a daunting challenge that we rarely name together. But it is always there if we are raising children not merely to be successful (and there's lots of advice about that), but to be good and grounded and kind.
I went into this conversation with Sylvia Boorstein hoping for some practical wisdom about imparting such qualities of character. In the course of our time together, some of it in exchange with an audience of people with children in their lives, we circled back to the simplest and most daunting reality of all: our children are likely, in the end, to act and live as we act and live. Nurturing their inner lives means nurturing our inner lives, for their sakes.
I couldn't have found a better conversation partner on this. Sylvia Boorstein has four grown children and seven grandchildren, and her spiritual practice is blessedly reality-based. Buddhism, of course, is at its core about embracing reality head on, about minimizing suffering in life by first acknowledging that suffering is a fact of life and resolving not to make it worse.
So, as she describes, this spiritual practice has helped her grasp that her lifelong tendency to worry is simply a quality she possesses, no more remarkable than the fact that, as she puts it, she is short and has brown hair. Others of us may have a tendency towards anger, or to reach for sensory comfort when life throws its curve balls. The trick for achieving balance and joy in our own lives — a trick made both harder and more important by the presence of children who exhaust as well as delight us — is first to know this about ourselves.
Spiritual parenting, as Sylvia Boorstein describes it, is not about adding work or effort to our overly busy lives. It is about self-knowledge and "wise effort" that helps us live gracefully moment by moment. It is manifest as much in how we fold the laundry as in how we discipline or praise our children. She offers this, for example, as a simple piece of effort that can reorient our attitudes and responses in all kinds of situations. Rather than asking, "Am I pleased?" in any given situation, we can ask instead, "In this moment, am I able to care?"
A Heightened Potential for Creativity Even While Our Brains Slow Down
by Krista Tippett, host
MRI of brain (image courtesy of Dr. Robert Zatorre/McGill University)
Few features of humanity are more fascinating than creativity; and few fields right now are more fascinating than neuroscience. Rex Jung puts the two together.
He spends half of his time working with people living with brain illness or injury. In this role, he says, he's something like an "existential neuropsychologist." And what he learns there informs the other half of his working life, in the laboratory applying the newest technologies of brain imaging to the interplay between creativity, intelligence, and personality.
What I like about this interview is the humanity Rex Jung brings to his science. This is a quality of all the scientists we bring on this program, I suppose — whether it's James Gates on supersymmetry, Jean Berko Gleason on linguistics, or Mario Livio on astrophysics. I'm fascinated by the richness of this exchange between humanity and science when you simply shine a light on it. Rex Jung, for example, got interested in studying brains as a volunteer for the Special Olympics. He came to love and revere the participants with supposedly "imperfect" brains.
Rex Jung first made a mark in the field of deciphering the brain networks involved in intelligence. But he was always aware that there is something more than intelligence involved in lives of beauty and integrity and vigor.
Now he's working on the emerging frontier of the study of creativity — and how it is different from, as well as related to, intelligence. He and his colleagues have notably helped identify a phenomenon they've called "transient hypofrontality." That's a daunting name for an experience many of us will recognize. Simply put, Rex Jung says that intelligence works like a "superhighway," with massive numbers of connections being made between the different parts of the brain with speed and directness. When we become more creative, our powerful, organizing frontal lobes downregulate a bit. The creative brain is a "meandering" brain. The superhighways give way to "side roads and dirt roads," making possible the new and unexpected connections we associate with artistry, discovery, and humor.
One of the most helpful things about this conversation is the commonsense way Rex Jung describes the implications of his research. He says to take those famous stories we have of moments of great creative discovery — like Archimedes wallowing in his bath when he had his eureka moment — and be attentive to how we all prime our brains to be less directed, more creative. Some of us take a bath, some take a walk, some take a drink.
This cutting-edge research is a resounding affirmation of something we know we need in the 21st century but struggle to create: downtime. It's a call to make this possible for our children too. Again, I think we all know this. For science to demonstrate it as a necessary precondition for creativity is bracing and helpful.
I appreciate the way this research validates the creativity of the everyday: of humor, of relationships, of social as well as personal, scientific, or artistic innovation. Rex Jung is also part of an emerging discipline called "positive neuroscience" — studying what the brain does well and, by implication I think, how what we are learning about our brains can be of benefit to our common life. He even believes that while there is loss in an aging brain — the phase many of our baby boomer brains have now entered — there is also a potential for heightened creativity in that very slowing down.
There are intriguing echoes between this research and neuroscientist Richard Davidson's discoveries at the University of Wisconsin about how it is possible through behaviors — and with practice — to keep changing our brains across the lifespan. After listening to Rex Jung, I've become more aware of how I sometimes get myself into agonizing moments, when I need to be creative (on deadline, of course) but haven't made the space for my frontal lobes to downregulate and let it happen.
I like feeling more in touch with my frontal lobes. I also like the way Rex Jung questions whether there is a necessary connection between creativity and difficult personalities (e.g. Steve Jobs). From my vantage point, I also feel we may be on the cusp of realizing new creative potentials in ourselves — again, in the everyday. I'll let my brain meander here awhile to consider that. Talk about having your cake and eating it too; I get to delight in the purposefulness of meandering.
Turning the Gifts of Our Experiences Into Story and Laughter
by Krista Tippett, host
Full disclosure: until I moved to Minnesota, I didn't get the Midwestern accent/humor thing thing that the movie Fargo so iconically captured. But I remember hearing Kevin Kling on NPR and staying with him despite myself, always being touched as well as amused at where his stories took me.
Having only heard him on the radio, I wasn't aware of the disability he was born with — his left arm much shorter than his right, with no wrist and no thumb. Then, about ten years ago, he was in a catastrophic motorcycle crash. The Associated Press and the local newspapers in Minneapolis and St. Paul reported the accident. Eyewitnesses thought he had died. The accident had paralyzed his healthy right arm, the one which had always done the bulk of the work.
Reading his stories from and about his childhood — they are legion — it is clear that Kevin Kling was always a natural humorist. And life has also made him wise.
Our losses make us human, he's learned. They give us our richness and our wisdom. But wisdom doesn't come cheap; it costs us. This is one of the endless things he says that makes you think hard just before or after he makes you smile.
We get the whole package of Kevin Kling in this conversation: funny guy, poet, wise man. As deeply down to earth as he is — in life as on stage — he also has an innate love of literature and philosophy, weaving Shakespeare and Dante into his stories as easily as Goofus and Gallant.
He describes himself as touched by Dante's underworld. It's a reality he feels he landed in, and wrested himself back from, after his accident. He also plays with Dante's language about the underworld as he considers his very being and presence in the world. Dis, he says, is "the place of shadow and reflection where you round off the rough edges of torment and desire. You go to this world of Dis. And it's the prefix for 'disability,' which doesn't mean 'unability.' It means able through the world of shadow and reflection. And so it's just another way of doing things… it is literally having a foot in two worlds." This is how Kevin Kling experiences the "dis" in the disability he was born with, as well as the one he acquired in midlife.
And being able-bodied, he helpfully points out, is always only a temporary condition.
Sit back, relax, and prepare to reflect and to laugh. It's a rare, lovely gift of Kevin Kling to make us do both. He helps us remember what he knows so well — that our sense of self and our sense of humor are great gifts in facing whatever life throws at us. Once we turn our experiences into stories and laughter, they no longer control us. The challenge is in not merely resting with the stories that help us sleep at night, but claiming the stories we want to grow into.
Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge
by Krista Tippett, host
I interviewed James Gates once before, a few years ago, when we were creating our show on Einstein's ethics. We talked then about Einstein's little-remembered passion for racial equality. James Gates spent part of his childhood in segregated schools — experiences he does not take for granted now that he is a preeminent, African-American physicist. But what I was so taken by in that conversation years ago was how he explained Einstein's social activism in terms of the values and virtues of scientific pursuit. He spoke of empathy as a potential byproduct of the process of discovery. A scientist's "What if…" questions can evolve into human "What if…" questions.
James Gates' capacity to share both from his humanity and his life in science strikes me again, and comes through even more forcefully during our more recent conversation in "Uncovering the Codes for Reality." This time, I spoke with him about his particular passions. He is a string theorist, with a special emphasis on supersymmetry — a quality in the universe which, if demonstrated, might help support string theory as a way to reconcile the greatest puzzle modern physics has tried to solve since Einstein. Simply put, the universe seems to follow different rules at the highest and the smallest levels of reality. String theory imagines that deeper than atoms, deeper than electrons, behind quarks, all of reality is brought into being by filaments of energy. These "strings" might span the whole of reality, and possibly explain why gravity behaves so differently from varying vantage points. Some leading string theorists posit that there are at least eleven dimensions — far more than the three or four dimensions we are equipped to experience.
That is about how far I comprehend the idea behind string theory. The lovely thing about a conversation with James Gates is that my incomprehension does not matter. He gives me much to chew on, and be enriched by.
For starters, he is just the latest voice — others include the astrophysicist Mario Livio, and the astronomers Guy Consolmagno and George Coyne — to let me in to the secrets and power of science's language of mathematics. He calls mathematics a kind of sixth sense — an organ of "extrasensory perception" — for scientists. By way of mathematics, scientists perceived and described the atom years before microscopes sophisticated enough to view them could be invented. Now, with mathematics, he and his colleagues are tracing clues and cosmic hints that may never be provable with our five senses — but that may shift our very sense of the nature of reality.
One of the things James Gates and some of his colleagues have "seen," for example, are underlying codes embedded in the cosmos — error-correcting codes, like those that drive computer programs. (Full disclosure: he's a fan of The Matrix — so am I — and we hear a little bit of that iconic movie in our one-hour podcast.) This is just one of many observations he makes that raises questions, he says, that physics alone can neither answer nor probe.
He is also working on an interesting frontier of expanding science's own imagination about mathematical equations in describing reality. He and his colleagues have recently employed something called adinkras, visual symbols that may be able to unlock truths that equations alone cannot capture, just as there are truths that only poetry can convey.
There's also a lot of fodder for one of my fascinations with the realm of science — the creative, playful, even spiritual act of naming things, especially in physics: beauty quarks and anti-beauty quarks, sizzling black holes, and superstrings, for example. The term adinkras, which comes from West Africa tradition and connotes pictures having hidden meaning, carries on this tradition.
James Gates' own delight is infectious and illuminating, as much when he is letting us in on mysteries of the cosmos as when he shares the human lessons of his life in science. I'll leave you with this, for example, as an enticement. When I asked him what he thought of Einstein's statement that "imagination is more important than knowledge," he said he had puzzled over this for many years:
"For a long time in my life, imagination was the world of play. It was reading about astronauts, and monsters, and traveling in galaxies, all of that kind of stuff, invaders from outer space on earth. That was all in the world of the imagination. On the other hand, reality is all about us. And it's constraining, and it can be painful. But the knowledge we gain is critical for our species to survive.
So how could it be that play is more important than knowledge? It took me years to figure out an answer. And the answer turns out [to be] rather strange… Imagination is more important than knowledge because imagination turns out to be the vehicle by which we increase knowledge. And so, if you don't have imagination, you're not going to get more knowledgeable."
Desmond Tutu, the Embodiment of the Qualities of the God He Preaches: Compassion, Justice, Patience, Surprise, and Humor
by Krista Tippett, host
Desmond Tutu had long been at the top of my list of people I wanted to interview. I met him in the woods of southern Michigan in 2010, where he was beginning a few days of retreat. He was visibly tired, yet utterly delightful and larger than life. And passion overtook his tiredness as soon as we began to speak about the history he has helped to shape and how he has found meaning within it.
Desmond Tutu's intellectual intensity and spiritual gravity are tempered by a mischievous wit and a raucous laugh. All of these qualities are abundant in conversation with him, and they infused one of the first stories he told me about his path to political resistance — his realization at some point that "if these white people had intended keeping us under, they shouldn't have given us the Bible."
He tells me of preaching and speaking with mature women who were generically called "Annie" by their white employers and grown men forever called "boy" — and handing them the "dynamite" of the Bible as they headed out of church and back into the world. When someone asks you who you are, he recalls telling them, you can say, "I am a God-carrier." This kind of inner liberation, one life at a time, yielded eventually to an outer upheaval of one of the most entrenched governments of social brutality in modern memory.
As I finally approached this opportunity to speak with Desmond Tutu, I was also deeply aware that South Africa's transformation, like its previous status quo — like life itself — has been dynamic, not static. The extraordinary accomplishment of a peaceful transition from apartheid to democracy has not led to the easy eradication of social and racial inequity.
Violent crime has assumed epic proportions. And, as Desmond Tutu puts it, he has been reminded that original sin doesn't discriminate on a racial basis — South Africa's new generations of black leadership are not immune from corruption both personal and political. As he has watched the aftermath of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he has realized ever more deeply that this was not a closed effort in time, but the origination of a national project that will be the work of generations.
One of his most sobering learnings in that light has been, he says, how "damaged" non-white South Africans were as they entered a new era — and damaged not merely by 50 years of apartheid, but by 300 years of colonialism, which distorted their very sense of themselves. He shares a stunning, saddening story of getting on a plane to Nigeria and seeing, to his great pride, that it was being flown by two black pilots — a first in his lifetime. When awful turbulence hit, he found himself reflexively wishing there were white men in that cockpit to lead them to safety. From such self-knowledge and personal suffering, Desmond Tutu has created a life of deep wisdom and healing, which he extends to all he meets.
At one and the same time, this is a human being overflowing with delight and a kind of infectious spiritual glee. I have never heard anything quite so joyful, or so moving, as the description Desmond Tutu gives me of voting for the first time at the age of 63, comparing it to falling in love — of being transformed from a cipher to a person. And just as vulnerably and powerfully, he reflects on the limits of politics, which turn out to be even more exacting than the decades of struggle that political freedom entailed.
He describes this in theological terms as a movement from being "free from" to being "free for." He continues to long for a South African society defined not merely by equality under law but by true human flourishing. And the last few centuries of Europe's history of world war, tyranny, and the Jewish Holocaust, he says — breaking into his raucous laughter even as he makes a deadly serious point — give him great hope for Africa's eventual progress.
This same long, indeed biblical view of time animates Desmond Tutu's lifelong insistence that "God is in charge." He believes as passionately now as he did decades ago that evil, injustice, and suffering will not have the last word. Though he does, he jokes, often ask God if he would please make it a little more obvious that He is in charge.
In the end, Desmond Tutu is the embodiment of the qualities of God he preaches: compassion, a fierce love of justice, divine patience, a capacity to surprise, and a wicked sense of humor. His 21st-century stature as one of the leading clerics of the Anglican church born in England — which was implicated in every one of the 300 years of South Africa's collective trauma — is another divine irony.
"At the center of this existence is a heart beating with love," says Desmond Tutu. "You and I, and all of us, are incredible… We are, as a matter of fact, made for goodness." Such statements fly in the face of reality as defined by newspaper headlines. But we can only wonder at them, ponder them, and honor them from the mouth of this man, who knows evil and injustice as intimately as he seems to know the mind and heart of God.
Meredith Monk's Voice: A Sensory Experience That Reaches Beyond Anything in Print
by Krista Tippett, host
The singer and composer Meredith Monk is a kind of archeologist of the human voice. She's also an archeologist of the human soul, with a long-time Buddhist practice. Through music and meditation, she reaches to places in human experience where words get in the way — and she shared with me what she has learned about mercy and meaning, about spirit and play.
For years we here at On Being have meant to, planned to, interview more musicians. Then in the last months, for varying reasons, conversations with Bobby McFerrin, Rosanne Cash, and now Meredith Monk fell into place. What joy.
After this experience with Meredith Monk, I'm shying away from describing her with the label "performance artist." Her music is avant-garde, but it also feels primal, ancient. She's called herself an archeologist of the human voice. The woman we meet in this conversation is also an archeologist of the human spirit. She has a long-time Buddhist practice. Playfully, and reflectively, she mines life and art for meaning.
As listeners to On Being know, I begin every conversation, however accomplished or erudite my guest, by learning something about his or her childhood. We can all trace interesting and substantive lines between our origins and our essence, wherever we are in life. These can be joyful. They can painful. But they are raw materials that have formed us. In Meredith Monk's case, a life in music was almost inevitable; three generations of musicians preceded her. She struggled with eyesight problems and issues with bodily coordination. Her mother — a singer in the golden age of radio — found a program called Dalcroze Eurhythmics, which uses music to create physical alignment. Later on, as a young artist, Meredith Monk describes a moment of "revelation" that the voice could be flexible like the body — fluid like the spine — something that could dance and not merely sing.
She sang before she could speak in any case, as she tells it, and after experimenting with classical musical education in college, she gave herself over to her own distinctive voice, her own art, which is rich with songs that use words sparingly or not at all. As our show with her opens, you hear her singing a hauntingly beautiful piece, "Gotham Lullaby." It is a demonstration of one of the things she talks about, eloquently, in this conversation — the power of music to reach where words can get in the way. This can be unfamiliar, even uncomfortable for the listener, as for the performer. But it is a deeply human experience, essentially contemplative and yet infused with the emotion that music can convey like no other form of human expression.
There is so much I carry with me out of this interview. It simply enlivens the world, and deepens its hues a bit. "The human voice is the original instrument," she says, "so you're going back to the very beginnings of utterance. In a way it's like the memory of being a human being."My teenagers stretch me to appreciate that this is the redemptive effect even of music that is strange and unfamiliar to my ears and my body. Meredith Monk brings this home to me as well, but differently.
I'm also challenged by her insistence that in our media-saturated world, we must, for the sake of our souls, continue to seek out direct experiences like live artistic performance. The very point of art, she says, like the very goal of spiritual life as the Buddha saw it, is to wake us up. The sense of transcendence we sometimes feel in these settings is not a separate experience but an effect of being awake, of being fully alive.
But this is too many words. Meredith Monk's voice, and the radio we've crafted from it, is a sensory experience that reaches beyond anything I could print on this page. Listen. And enjoy.
And, if you have some time, I highly recommend listening to our playlist of Meredith Monk's most meaningful songs from across the years, which she personally selected for us while doing research for my interview. Stream all eleven tracks and listen at your leisure.
Transforming Journalism by Moving and Mobilizing Readers
by Krista Tippett, host

I wasn't always a fan of Nicholas Kristof's columns in The New York Times. I'd found them at times simplistic — seeming to reduce the dramas of entire nations to individual stories of despair and/or hope. But I've discovered that there is an art and science to this approach. It was fascinating — and quite inspiring — to sit down and get inside his head on all of this.
Nicholas Kristof has lived on four, and reported on six continents, including spending formative years based in China and Japan, before he took his place on the Op-Ed pages of the Times in the cathartic year of 2001. And as he tells us, he soon realized that opining, however brilliantly, left him preaching to the choir. People who already shared his perspective would cheer him on; those who didn't would not take in what he had to say. The true power of his editorial platform, he realized, was its capacity to bring lesser-publicized events and ideas into the light.
He is credited, most famously perhaps, for bringing the unfolding genocide in Darfur to the world's attention. But even that "success," which brought him a second Pulitzer Prize, left Nicholas Kristof wondering and wanting. The world's reaction to Darfur, in his mind, did not match the tragedy at hand or the moral responsibility it should have engendered. He wanted to understand the fact — as I've pondered with many guests on this program across the years — that horrific images and facts are as likely to paralyze and overwhelm as to mobilize us.
And so he started reading research on brain science and the biological basis for compassion, to explore what makes the difference between moral paralysis and compassionate mobilization. We are hard-wired as humans, it seems, to respond powerfully to a single individual's story and face. But add a second face, and that response diminishes. Add facts, and multiply that story by hundreds or millions, and empathy withers altogether.
Nicholas Kristof reframed his journalistic approach accordingly. It is fascinating to hear him talk about this, and about his own enduring worries about its manipulative connotations. He works to balance the riveting story with the big picture. An empathetic response to a single human story, he's also learned by way of science and his own experience, can become a portal to a larger awareness. Facts and context can then begin to play a meaningful supporting role.
In the early 2000s, I felt that Nicholas Kristof was simplistic about religion too. Granted, most Western journalists were on a new kind of learning curve with regard to religion. Over the years, I have been deeply impressed by his unusual willingness to learn in public — to admit that he did not understand something, to publish his surprise and self-reversals. He's gained a very complex and contradictory view of religion as a force in the world — capable of nurturing the worst of violence and the best of care.
He also offers a penetrating view of the self-defeating liberal-conservative/secular-religious divide on global issues as in our domestic political life. He is one of the voices waking up the world to the global scourge of sex trafficking. He believes that this will ultimately galvanize the moral consciousness of this century as slavery galvanized the 19th century. But he is watching with dismay as, for now, the two most effective activists on this issue — liberal feminists and conservative Christians — cannot agree on a shared vocabulary for describing the problem, much less join their energies.
We spend a lot of words these days on the way journalism is changing — usually with an eye to the technological and financial pressures that are changing it. Nicholas Kristof embodies deep cultural shifts that are also transforming journalism as we have known it. His journalism is a new paradigm, I think, one I'm now grateful for. I'll call it journalism as a humanitarian art. And I look forward to seeing how it continues to evolve.
The Wide Lens of History and the Conjoined Realities of Our Past
by Krista Tippett, host
I always read the MacArthur "genius" grant lists with great interest. They uncover people who are making great marks on the world in their chosen fields, but are usually out of the spotlight. This year the name that jumped out at me was Tiya Miles. I was intrigued with the description of her as a "public historian" illuminating the meaning of "ancestry and citizenship." There was a personal connection for me, too, as the particular history she's unearthed has resonance with the world of my childhood in Oklahoma, the former Indian Territory.
I grew up hearing a family legend about a Cherokee ancestor, though it was transmitted with little detail or enthusiasm. Tiya Miles' African-American grandmother also had such a story, and she told it with pride. She had endless stories, and the vital link she made between past and present inspired her granddaughter. Tiya Miles took up the study of history. Then, as a graduate student, she stumbled upon the little-remembered history of some Native Americans, Cherokee landowners who held African-American slaves.
This is of course not merely a story about Cherokee people and black people but about all of us, all of our ancestors. The Cherokee were deemed one of the "Five Civilized Tribes" by the American government of that era. Growing up on land first given to, then taken away from, these indigenous peoples, I never questioned the backhanded presumption in this label they were given. Now, in conversation with Tiya Miles, I learn that their honored status was earned and conferred in part because of their "civilized" behavior of holding slaves.
This memory is as tragically nonsensical as any in the institution of slavery — so hard to reckon with and make sense of, it seems, that it literally fell away. Tiya Miles' curiosity was first captured by a footnote about what was described as the first Afro-Cherokee marriage. She doggedly pursued a nearly non-existent trail to discover that this "marriage" was between a middle-class Cherokee landowner in his 40s and a teenage slave girl he had bought or procured by force. He had five children by her. He later won their freedom, but he never made her free. In arguing for their children, in fact, he proclaimed publicly that he had "debased" himself by bringing them into the world through union with her.
Tiya Miles' other ground-breaking research has unfolded across a number of years at the Chief Vann House in Georgia — a grand antebellum plantation owned by a wealthy Cherokee chief. She is a lover of old houses. She knew that slaves worked this plantation as every other. But when she went for a tour of the house and its history in the 1990s, no mention was made of these hundreds of human beings who yielded the abundance of that land. They had been forgotten, nearly erased from memory. Tiya Miles vowed to create a more ethical telling of their story.
She is keenly aware of the complexity, indeed the multitudinous slippery slopes, of setting out to tell a story — any story — more ethically. As an historian, she is nearly haunted by her knowledge that every story can be told differently from many different angles. Her approach is fresh and innovative — and the emerging field of public history is distinctive — in its insistence on setting stories this painful in a context that can hold both the hardest truths and the seeds of their own healing.
I love the idea of looking more deeply at history to find vital openings, new possibilities, for starting fresh in the present. In the history of this radio program, my conversations have revealed this possibility over and over again — from looking more closely at Charles Darwin in order to reframe the "science-religion" divide or how Kwame Anthony Appiah has looked at history to see the surprising ingredients that allow profound societal and moral change to happen. I take heart in Tiya Miles' learned insistence that even the most painful and divisive history is about "conjoined realities" — and that a wide historical lens will always reveal human beings' connections to each other as something more generous than the darkest moments of our past.
Bringing Ancient Celtic Wisdom to Modern Confusions and Longings
by Krista Tippet, host
"It's strange to be here," John O'Donohue wrote, referring to life. "The mystery never leaves you." And creating "The Inner Landscape of Beauty" was a lovely, if strange and mysterious, experience.
O'Donohue was an Irish poet and philosopher beloved for his books, including Anam Ċara — Gaelic for "soul friend" — and for his insistence on beauty as a human calling and a defining aspect of God. I sat down with him in the fall of 2007 for a wide-ranging, two-hour conversation. Then just a few months later, before it could go to air, he died in his sleep, suddenly, at the age of 52. And so this hour of conversation has become a remembrance of him.
He would surely see this as a serendipitous continuation of his life's work — of bringing ancient Celtic wisdom to modern confusions and longings.
We ended the show with his reading of "Beannacht," a poem of blessing he wrote for his mother upon the death of his father. A number of listeners who read and loved John O'Donohue's work wrote to us after we posted this and other poems he read to me during our interview:
And when your eyes
Freeze behind
The gray window
And the ghost of loss
Gets in to you,
May a flock of colors,
Indigo, red, green
And azure blue
Come to awaken in you
A meadow of delight.
And we've posted a pair of informative blog entries about our research into the beautiful, essential music for this show — including the style of Gaelic singing called sean-nos and the helpful contributions of an Irish listener from Belfast.
"Music," John O'Donohue said to me, "is what language would love to be if it could."
Becoming Detroit: Reimagining Work, Food, and the Very Meaning of Humanity
by Krista Tippett, host
This trip to Detroit came about because of technological failure. It was a tremendous gift, and a revelation.
The technological failure was the connection between my voice and Grace Boggs. Her ears, after all, are 96. And when we weren't able to have a real, fluid conversation between St. Paul and Detroit, I immediately decided we would fly to interview her in her home. This was a relief, really, as preparing for the interview had made me long to meet her.
Ever since my conversation with Vincent Harding last year, her name kept coming up. Her identity is full of unlikely conjunctions: Chinese-American and an icon of African-American civil rights, philosopher and activist, elder and change agent. She was born Grace Lee above her father's Chinese restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island. She received a Ph.D. in philosophy in 1940. She had a heady life in intellectual, revolutionary circles of the early twentieth century, from Europe to Africa. She moved to Detroit when she married the legendary African-American autoworker, organizer, and civil rights thinker Jimmy Boggs. Together they were the heart and soul of civil rights in the Motor City.
Jimmy Boggs died in 1993. Already by then, years ahead of what most of us are experiencing as the new global economic crisis, the post-industrial future had begun to show itself in Detroit. In this emerging world, Grace Boggs is at the heart of reimagining, renewing, and "re-spiriting" this city — seeing the possibilities amidst the ruins of abandoned storefronts, houses, and industrial plants that have defined our cultural vision of Detroit in recent years. She learned, she says, to "make a way out of no way" from Jimmy Boggs. She draws on everyone from Hegel to Dr. King to Margaret Wheatley when she speaks of our capacity to "create the world anew." With all she knows, and all the change she's seen, the sheer magnitude of years she carries, you can't help but listen when Grace Boggs describes the tumult of our time as a rare and precious opportunity: "What a time to be alive."
This sweeping statement might be less infectious if it were not planted in a world of engagement that both affirms and continually informs Grace Boggs' thinking. You walk into Grace Boggs' living room — which is also the ground floor of the James and Grace Boggs Center to Nurture Community Leadership — and you are surrounded by joyful, passionate people who are literally recreating their corners of the world. She points them out as we speak. After our interview, we are taken on a tour that is like a trip into a parallel universe to the Detroit we've seen in the news.
We meet Gloria Lowe, who is not merely putting formerly incarcerated and injured vets to work, but making houses livable and beautiful while creating urban models that are affordable and green. We meet Wayne Curtis and Myrtle Thompson, a couple who are tending one of Detroit's 1,600 urban gardens. They're not merely growing food, as they tell us, they are growing culture. Their way of talking about "food sovereignty," about the necessity of flavor, about "nutrient density" reminds me of the chef Dan Barber.They are a living response to the question he's often asked, of whether the local food movement is just for pampered elites.
Detroit's urban agricultural movement began as a matter of survival and became a matter of consciousness, and of reimagining the essence of human identity and community.
So many of my conversations are ultimately about the vast, seismic changes of our time. No city could be held up more easily as a symbol of the destructive side of this change than Detroit. But nowhere have I encountered people as animated by change, as "privileged" to experience it, as in Detroit.
In recent decades, Grace Boggs has become ever more attentive to the word "evolution" wrapped inside the word "revolution." The identity politics and rights focus of the rebellions of the 1960's, she says, paved a way for a more enlightened and slower revolution now — a new and deeper sense of a common human identity, from how we work to how we eat to how we govern ourselves. Ever the philosopher, she reminds us that "we're not only being, but we're non-being and becoming." In Grace Boggs' living room, and in the Detroit of hope which she helps inspire, these lofty words become something to live by.

Conflicting reports on Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher's relationship broke on Valentine's Day. One report said they were moving in together, while another said Ashton was cheating. With Mila supposedly moving in to Ashton's Hollywood Hills house, what's the fate of their future? And don't forget that Ashton is also technically married!
Ashton is an Aquarius and Mila is a Leo, making them a great match. They know how to work as a team, innately giving each other what they need. Plus, Ashton's Gemini Rising works well with Mila as a Sagittarius. All in all, they're suited for each other in their basic personalities, and in public. However, in their emotional lives, Mila's Scorpio Moon and Ashton's Aquarius Moon tend to clash when it comes to intimacy -- Mila is possessive while Ashton is a bit aloof. That said, their overriding compatibility can smooth this issue out and chances are good for this one to be a keeper.

Nets beat Raptors for their ninth win in 10 games under P.J. Carlesimo
Keith Bogans ran the baseline and converted a layup for an 83-76 after three quarters, though it wasn't the fourth-quarter victory lap the Nets enjoyed in their previous two home games against Phoenix and Indiana.
Though they never trailed again, "We certainly didn't close the game like we wanted to," Carlesimo said. "Joe and Deron played more minutes than we wanted. But we had to win the game."
Brooklyn is now 15-0 versus sub-.500 clubs this season, though the Raptors (14-24) proved to be a better challenge than last time, when a Nets' victory on Dec. 12 made it 12 losses in 13 games for Toronto.
From there, the Raptors had won 10 of 14 games until arriving at Brooklyn. But Brooklyn also has found another gear, too, since Carlesimo replaced Avery Johnson as coach.
The Nets have beaten Toronto three times this season, but Tuesday they dramatically cut down their turnovers (six) from the previous matchups. Brook Lopez lamented another slow start, but led the Nets with 22 points and nine rebounds. Johnson and Williams each scored 21.
Backup center Andray Blatche was questionable before tipoff due to illness but led the Nets' subs with 14 of their 40 points.
Five of the Raptors were in double figures, and ex-Knick Landry Fields had eight points and a game-high 11 rebounds in 40 minutes.
"It's a great feeling," Johnson said of the franchise's longest winning streak since 2006. And this time, "We're not going to take this for granted."
BRIEFS: Forward Gerald Wallace (bruised ribs) did not play for a second straight game. … Williams has converted 40 straight free throws, including his 8-for-8 Tuesday. He hasn't missed one since Dec. 31.

It's the launch of Peter's Clutter Challenge, an easy-to-follow program that runs for 10 weeks on Oprah.com and will help you tackle your clutter once and for all! Peter is taking your calls and challenging listeners to log on, get started and get out from under that mess by the end of the summer. Then, Oprah Radio host Dr. Robin joins the show to share her insights on the underlying causes of clutter and what you can do to get rid of it for good. Both Dr. Robin and Peter say that clutter is not just a physical issue of too much junk and too little space—it's an emotional and spiritual issue that revolves around self-care and self-worth. "When there's clutter in people's lives, it usually means I'm not on top of my own self-care, it means that I'm too busy, it means that I'm using my energy in the wrong places, with the wrong people, for the wrong reasons," Dr. Robin says. Unless you dig deep and get to the root of your emotional issues, Dr. Robin says clutter can literally consume you. "It's so easy to have a pile of things that is just getting bigger and bigger and bigger, because I'm shrinking in terms of my own self-importance and self-care," she says. If you find yourself attached to things because of the memories they hold for you, Peter says your problem is most likely "memory clutter." In order to tackle memory clutter, Dr. Robin says you need to deal with the grief and sadness that often accompanies such items—whether it represents a painful time in your life or something that has ended but you just don't want to let go of. "The place to start is to deal with the grief of what it will mean as I begin to look at these things—these things aren't what I'm attached to," she says. "The issue is that I'm so detached, I'm so disconnected from myself and my own needs." If you find that much of your clutter consists of things that you think you may need at some unknown time and place in the future, Peter says you're probably preoccupied with fear. "Most people who live with that kind of fear actually don't get their needs met because they don't know what their needs are because fear is blocking their vision," Dr. Robin says. She says the solution to handling I-might-need-it-someday clutter is to deal with your fear, live in the present and consider the opportunities you may be missing out on right now. Both Dr. Robin and Peter say that when you come face-to-face with your clutter enemies, you make room for growth and happiness in your life. "Get rid of fear, get rid of grief, allow abundance and excitement and motivation and focus to come into your life," Peter says. Published on June 15, 2007

If you have a RaspberryPi, or you're looking to get one consider contributing to my Kickstarter. The HotPi is a really small and simple board to add a Real Time Clock, an LIRC compatible IR transmitter (with a respectable range, tested upto 3m) and receiver, an RGB LED for indicating system status or just as a disco light, and the addition of a variable speed cooling fan it makes it easier to put the RaspberryPi in an enclosed space under your television and use XBMC.
The board draws between 10mA and 120mA when in use, the largest consumers of current being the RGB LED (~60mA max) and the Fan (~20mA max). This is a significant win on using a USB IR Receiver and transmitter like the MCE remote, we also don't have completely pointless LEDs for telling you it's on, and when you're pressing a button, unless you want to create a script for the RGB LED.
A little more about that RGB LED, it uses WiringPi to implement software Pulse Width Modulation so it can fade and transition smoothly.
We've only got a week left so time is of the essence! If you're considering contributing, you'll have to be quick.

Not only has our family camped in Wildwood Haven's campground many times, but we have stayed in their cabins as well. The cabins are clean, comfortable, with fully stocked kitchens (you will need to bring your own towels). The owners are wonderful people with a lovely family. We can't say enough about this wonderful "jewel in the woods." The sound of the loons will be your alarm clock in the morning, and send you off to sleep at night. We have never seen sunsets so beautiful as we have sitting on the lake in the evening. Bring your camera! We will be back again next year. Counting the days until we can enjoy this place again. Thanks Wildwood Haven for another great vacation.

Column: All politics is local, even if it happens in St. Paul
Former U.S. Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill once said "All politics is local" and on Election Day 2012, that is what I was thinking. With the fate of the country on the line with the presidential election, my eyes were on the Minnesota house and senate. I knew that the 2013 legislative session would be a turning point in Minnesota history.By: Scott Yeazle, For the Budgeteer News

Aquatic exercise is a low-impact activity that takes the pressure off your bones, joints and muscles. Water offers natural resistance, which helps strengthen your muscles. You can even do aquatic exercise if you don't know how to swim.
You might start with water walking. In water that's about waist-high, walk across the pool swinging your arms like you do when walking on land. Avoid walking on your tiptoes, and keep your back straight. Tighten your abdominal muscles to avoid leaning too far forward or to the side.
To increase resistance as your hands and arms move through the water, wear hand webs or other resistance devices. Water shoes can help you maintain traction on the bottom of the pool.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A former Pocahontas County sheriff's deputy who resigned after firing his gun at his girlfriend's house is now a police officer in Ronceverte in Greenbrier County.
Robert Alkire II pleaded guilty in March to misdemeanor brandishing a weapon for firing his pistol in an unsafe manner. He was originally charged with one count of wanton endangerment for the November 2008 incident.
"The reason we hired him is we are a small police department and at the time, he was the only certified officer that applied," said Ronceverte Chief Michael L. Smith. "I know what he was originally charged with, but he only pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. That doesn't eliminate him from being hired. ... He has done an outstanding job for the police department."
On Nov. 30, 2008, Alkire got into an argument with his then-girlfriend Jennifer Miller at her Marlinton Home, Dan Dotson, who handled the case as a special prosecutor, said at the time. The argument continued into the street, where Alkire fired his weapon, Dotson said.
"It was not fired at anybody in a malicious manner," Dotson said.
Alkire, whose father was sheriff at the time, went into Miller's house, Dotson said. Police were then called.
"The sheriff responded to the scene in Marlinton. At that point in time [Robert Alkire II] was in a medical situation," Dotson said. "The sheriff and a deputy came to transport him to a medical facility. They were unsuccessful."
The sheriff couldn't get his son to go to the hospital, Dotson said. Dotson declined to specify the "medical situation."
Emergency workers arrived on the scene and were able to transport Alkire II to Pocahontas Memorial Hospital, Dotson said. Alkire II was placed on administrative leave immediately, he said.
Sheriff Alkire requested an outside investigation, telling the prosecutor, "I can't have anything to do with this," Dotson said.
Dotson said Robert Alkire II was charged Jan. 25 with one count of wanton endangerment for the incident. Bail was set at $3,000.
Robert Alkire II, "handled his department issue pistol in an unsafe manner and fired [it] in such a manner that it created a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury to another," according to the criminal complaint filed in Pocahontas County Magistrate Court.
The case was also brought before a grand jury, which declined to file charges, a Pocahontas County circuit court clerk said Wednesday.
Current Pocahontas County Sheriff David Jonese said Alkire II resigned from the department. As a part of the plea deal he agreed he would not be a police officer in Pocahontas County for one year, Jonese said.
