Led by Peter Joost
Peter Joost, beloved educator at New York's St. Bernard's School and board member of NYC Audubon for two decades, has worked tirelessly to protect local birds and their habitat for 35 years. He has served as president of both the Brooklyn Bird Club and the Linnean Society, given talks at the Museum of the City of New York, and led bird walks throughout the City's five boroughs. Having recently retired from St. Bernard's School, he will be spending more time at his second home in Ecuador, El Refugio de Intag, an ecologically friendly lodge and nature reserve.
Seen from above, Central Park is an oasis of green on a noisy, people- and car-filled island. It's no wonder that a staggering 192 different species of birds have chosen it for a home or a frequent stopping place, making it one of the best birding spots in the world. Explore the Park's rich avian life with a walk through Manhattan's 843-acre breath of fresh air, led by an expert naturalist and arranged in collaboration with New York City Audubon.
New York City Audubon champions nature in the city's five boroughs through a combination of engaging and entertaining programs and innovative conservation campaigns. NYC Audubon is an independent nonprofit organization affiliated with the National Audubon Society. Through its efforts, NYC Audubon protects many species of birds living in the 30,000 acres of wetlands, forests, and grasslands of New York City.
Purchase a bird walk separately, or packaged with birdsong-related concerts; more information on packages is here.
Bird walks meet on the park side of Central Park West at 72nd Street, on the benches before the arbor, and end at Lincoln Center at 7:00, in time for a 7:30 performance.

Common BE more specific! I think that you really want to do that Although i get the main picture.
I won't tell about it because software reamping is "ugly" in some circles. But, you're lucky: if you have the POD X3 you can use the POD Farm plugin free. I use it and it's mega cool. http://line6.com/podx3/recording.htmlTo reamp just record a stereo pair with the dry signal in one channel and the effected in the other, that way you can reamp the clean one with the POD Farm. I'm pretty shure I saw this setup detailed in the manual or in the recording how to.

man. that means that my macbook is soon to be considered. "old ****"
If MacBook Pros actually have these, I would get one (Hopefully) but wouldn't there be a chance where Apple may raise the price a bit? Honestly, I think they would.
Btw, nice picture!
No Apple wouldn't change the price as its a market trend pattern that they must follow. Its not the consumers responsibility to pay the difference for a standard feature. Meaning you an I dont have a choice with the type of GPU/Chipset technology they are providing, hence its not my responsibility to pay for you spending more or less for it.
I'll be pretty disappointed if this is true. Not because background switching isn't awesome...but because Apple is again working with Nvidia. they are now far behind the technology curve. ATi is where it's at.
I was thinking this. No DX11 cards yet, and their upcoming DX11 card is proving to be a shambles...
i never try ATI , i use Nvidia for 3D glasses with games , no one does this ....right ?
ATi? pfft those video cards don't even work well with intel motherboards. ATi is not where it's at. NVIDIA is not behind the curve in video technology.
So what games and videos do you have that use DX11?
Bad Company 2 uses it. I'll probably be buying Crysis 2 as well once I get my new PC... Medal of Honor will probably have it as well...
Nvidia, I think are awesome and better for the MBP than ATi!!
Anyway I use a PS3 for gaming.

But ... maybe now that this singles set has come out, there's a chance of more VU material coming out officially? I think I read that Lou wasn't into having any more live stuff come out.
― tylerw, Thursday, 15 October 2009 16:03 (4 years ago) Permalink
Hmmm, so I'm listening to this "Retinal Circus" VU show -- and I'm pretty sure some of these takes are the same as appear on Live 1969. Haven't a/b'd them or anything. It's an uncut tape of the show, though, which hasn't circulate as far as I know ... I think that those songs were thought to be from the Matrix, wonder what the deal is! MYSTERY. Sounds great, anyway.

yeh, the wh/wh posted above is the same as the version on the live 69 album
― zappi, Friday, 16 October 2009 21:21 (4 years ago) Permalink
er wl/wh
Yeah, same w/ "heroin", "what goes on", "new age" so far. it's funny to hear these songs w/ audience applause -- on 1969 they cut off almost immediately, sort of giving the impression that the VU was playing to barely anyone. But here they've got a totally enthusiastic crowd. And why not, considering the godlike awesomeness of this "What Goes On."
― tylerw, Friday, 16 October 2009 21:26 (4 years ago) Permalink
so I'm fairly certain that these are ALL tracks from Live 1969, albeit in unedited form ... Maybe "Some Kinda Love" is different? Not sure.

Yeha, often when Unterberger inserts an opinion into his Velvets book, I find myself disagreeing with him. But as a reference, and as a history of the band, I think it's unparalleled. Also, tons of great photos/posters/ephemera, stuff I'd never seen before. And I appreciate that he has in fact listened to the bootlegs, which a lot of writers before him don't seem to have done. In general he doesn't seem too down with the experimental side of the group, even though he does give plenty of space to Cale's pre-VU work, as well as Angus MacLise, which is nice.

OK, so I'm familiar with the differences between the original "closet mix" of the 3rd LP and the Valentin (sp?) mix that was put out in the 80's reissue series. I know that "Some Kinda Love" is a different take altogether on the Valentin one. My trainspotter question is: which mix does the recent 4 Men With Beards reissue have? "Cause I already have an original closet one and am kicking myself for not picking the alternate mix up a few years ago when it was cheap.

I went to Kugelberg's apt once to talk about some post-punk/DIY stuff, and in this one room where he had his record collection, or small portions of it, he had all these cabinets with 12" sized panels, and in each panel was a copy of the first Velvet Underground record. Perhaps different states of peeling, different pressings, different photo states on the back, I don't remember, it was pretty impressive though.

Wow, mono White Light/White Heat from that Nuns Seawall blog is making me really happy. Of everything I've heard of theirs (Matrix excepted) that's the thing that most needs a legit release (and I kind of wonder why it hasn't happened already).

Yeah, not sure why they haven't followed up that deluxe VU&Nico from six or seven years ago with deluxe editions of White Light and the third album ... Maybe VU&Nico didn't do that well, since it didn't have any unreleased stuff on it?

i thought these would've come out domestically by now, but i scored Japanese versions a couple/few years ago of wl/wh, s/t, 1969 live, and V.U. the only one that's not a big improvement is '69 live. both white light, and the velvet underground really sound noticeably "better"(IMO) than the mid-1990's releases. and v.u. sounds greatly improved over its original cd release

Building codes, tougher standards, smart grid save billions
Improvements in energy efficiency can slow the growth of electricity demand over the next two decades by at least 22%, said the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).
EPRI released a report in mid-January declaring there are wide ranges of realistic efficiency improvements that the U.S. can make that, by 2030, and would see the country using 5% to 8% less electricity than expected.
However, the energy savings would come at a price. The study said utilities would have to invest between $19 billion and $47 billion between now and 2030 to get the maximum power savings that are realistically possible.
Money that does not go for new power plants would offset some of that cost.
Most of the savings would come from new building codes, tougher appliance and lighting standards, and a phase-out of less efficient equipment to heat and cool buildings, as well as development of a "smart" electric grid that would allow utilities to fine-tune energy use, the report says.
In addition, while much of the savings would come from residential use, the biggest will come from better commercial motors and office-and-factory lighting.
Michael Howard, an EPRI vice president, said electricity use has increased on average 2.5% a year over the last 35 years and will probably increase 1.07% annually up to 2030. He said the EPRI analysis concludes the annual growth in power demand could decrease by 0.83% even if not everyone buys the most efficient appliances and equipment.
The EPRI study may, in fact, understate the potential for efficiency gains since it assumes no additional efficiency regulations and codes than are already on the books.
U.S. President Barack Obama repeatedly has said a core of his energy policy will be to improve energy efficiency including tougher appliance standards. For example, he will ask Congress to pump some of the economic stimulus funds into reducing energy use in government buildings.
The Associated Press reported Obama's choice as energy secretary, Steven Chu, told a Senate hearing in January that "energy efficiency is the key" to curtailing people's energy costs and also help to address climate change.
The study does not take into account the expected increase in electricity demand over the next two decades of more plug-in hybrid vehicles. If, as some experts expect, there are 8 million electric cars on the road by 2030, they will boost power demand by 2%.
See the executive summary of the EPRI report at http://www.isa.org/FileStore/Intech/WhitePaper/EPRI.pdf.

Anybody living near a transit depot probably knows that having buses refueled and sitting with engines running in your backyard isn't the greatest for your health. But how do you change things? After sharing their community with a Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) maintenance facility for more than half a century, residents of East Baltimore's Cecil-Kirk neighborhood were wondering just that.
Enter Johns Hopkins University Professor Michael Trush, toxicologist turned community activist. "They wouldn't let their children sleep in bedrooms facing the bus depot because of the health effects," Trush says of the residents, whose homes stood across an alley from the facility.
Armed with statistics from a 2002 report by the Citizens' Housing and Planning Association in which he offered ways to decrease bus exhaust exposure, Trush brought residents and MTA officials together to start talking about the problem. Now the agency is replacing the outdated facility with a closed structure.
"Mike gets it," says Pat Tracey, a community relations coordinator who has worked for Trush since 2003 at the Bloomberg School's Center in Urban Environmental Health. "He understands the burdens that are on communities, whether dealing with bus depots, landfills, cement factories, or mining," she says.
She and colleague Barbara Bates-Hopkins channel Baltimore residents' concerns to Trush, who helps them help themselves. "We dismiss their myths about things and give them the truth," Tracey says of the people Trush helps. "We give them the tools to help them speak for themselves."
Trush's insight into blue-collar Baltimore reaches back to his own childhood in southwestern Pennsylvania. He grew up next door to his Russian-born grandfather, a coal miner who died of black lung. When Grandpop wasn't beneath the earth, he had his hands in it as an avid gardener who grew his own food.
"What he and I used to do all the time in the summer was go blackberry picking," Trush remembers. Then his Polish-born grandmother would use the fruit for pies. "He had these massive gardens where he grew all these vegetables." Little did Grandpop know he was creating an environmentalist in young Michael.
In college at what's now California University of Pennsylvania, Trush studied botany and learned about herbicides and pesticides. A pharmaceutical association pamphlet caught his attention: He realized toxicology unites those interests. He taught high school biology in Herminie, PA in the early 70's then went to graduate school at West Virginia University. It was a heady time for environmentalists, he says. The Environmental Protection Agency was founded in 1970, and toxicology was emerging as its own field.
His first community outreach project came in the early 90's when he helped create a Maryland Public Television series called EnviroMysteries. Targeting middle schoolers, the show had students play detective and, for instance, determine that contaminated lettuce sickened people at a community event. And for more than a decade, he worked through MPT to offer a week-long workshop to help school teachers improve instruction in environmental health.
"Mike is the one who stepped up to the plate," turning academic expertise into something useful for the community, says James Yager, a dean and fellow toxicology professor at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. "It's really building knowledge-making them aware of the science-so they can have some information they can use in making decisions."
A recent day finds Trush in his cluttered seventh-floor office writing two quizzes and a final exam for the online toxicology class he teaches with Yager. He also is preparing to fly to Singapore to help develop the country's new public health program. And that night, he plans to be "in studio" for a live talk with his students-a sort of instant messaging with microphones.
At noon, he heads two blocks east to Eastern Market, which is abuzz with lunchtime customers. Amid folding tables laden with brochures about asthma and lead paint, he serves as the incarnation of a once-a-month PR effort to reach a low-income population that surrounds the hospital, yet takes little advantage of it.
One man sidles up for a better look, and Trush starts a conversation.
"Do you live around here?" he asks.
The man lives in the 500 block of Washington Avenue and talks about all the construction and rehab work nearby. He complains about people pressure-washing their houses to remove paint, which goes airborne. Trush tells him where to report suspicious contractors, then turns to the health benefits of eating right.
"How's your blood pressure?" he asks.
"Good," the man answers.
Says Trush, "You gotta eat your fruits and vegetables, because that's gonna make your protection better."

A few weeks ago O2 CEO Ronan Dunne invited a group of press and bloggers to join him at #o2tweetup.
During the session, he asked for input on running his Twitter account, as well as sharing his own thoughts on the role of a senior executive online.

Dr. Zimmerman's TUESDAY TIP:
"The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself."
Benjamin Franklin
Dr. Alan Zimmerman's Personal Commentary:
When I survey people and ask them what they want, most people tell me they "just want to be happy" or they "want to be successful." Somehow they think they have to choose between one or the other. But that's not true. Harvard professor Shawn Achor has spent years researching the questions, sharing his conclusions in his "Harvard Business Review" article entitled "Happiness Leads To Profits."
Achor goes on to say that a decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: raising sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a myriad of health and quality-of-life improvements. In other words you can be happy AND successful. Indeed you should be. As Achor emphatically concludes his research, our single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and engaged workforce.
Last week I gave 57 "secrets of success," partly inspired by Speaker Hall of Famer Michael Aun. Dipping into his wisdom once again, along with some of my own, let me share ...
Click here to download and print this list for free...
Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your brain will devote its finite resources as you process the world. If you and your brain scan for the negative first, your brain literally has no resources left over to see the positive things for which you could and should be . Your brain has no energy left over to see the meaning embedded in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to reap an amazing happiness advantage.
Given the unprecedented level of unhappiness at companies and the direct link between happiness and business outcomes, Researcher Shawn Achorthe says the question is NOT whether happiness should matter to companies. Given the research, it clearly should. The first question is: What can I do in my own life to reap the advantage of happiness?" Re-read the list above ... on a daily basis. And come join me for my "Journey to the Extraordinary" experience coming to Chicago on November 14-15, 2013. It will put you on the right path at work and at home for years to come.
Decide on how you're going to get the list ... "The Secrets of Happiness" ... into your consciousness on a daily basis.

Your always gonna get a clone, that device in the pic made me laugh
true. my ipad has been scanned and is shipping from china today! cmon saturday!!
Probably going to be like the look-a-like iPod Touch I bought my daughter for $20 - it plays music well, but has very little functionality, poor UI and the touch (and other) tech are not even close.
They will be like all the other clones with no access to any kinds of apps, resistive touch, hellish UI, etc., etc.
Resistive touch? Don't take that for granted.
There are iPhone clones with capacitive screen, as well.
a jailbroken ipad won't do anything that a jailbroken ipod can't, why don't you seem to understand that?
it be funny if everyone getting an iPad from china accidentally get a iPad knock-off instead lmao
this looks ginormous,
if it has some of the iphone clone extra features, like dual sims, maybe a built in camera, etc..
and half the price... I might check it out
I understand that, but I'm thinking more along custom ROMS, overclocking of it, etc etc. The droid has a 600 mhz and is clocked up to 1.2 ghz at least and runs fine. Imagine how high this might be able to go ;D
It'll never happen on the iPad. Luckily you can do that with your Nexus One. Have you tried CyanogenMod yet? It's amazing.

The golden orange lichen covering some of the rocks offers visitors wonderful photo opportunities at different times of the day.

Daily Dos: Tue, Apr 16, 2013
It's been a while since we've heard anything new from garage-rockers Bass Drum of Death, which is why we were particularly elated to hear their new single "Shattered Me." We were also stoked to hear on of our favorite MC's Danny Brown was tapped to jump on the remix of Charli XCX's "What I Like." Brown is an outspoken fanboy of the british goth-pop princess so knew it would be a match made in heaven. He definitely gave the track that extra edge it was lacking.

Emergence is the first installment in a series of nine episodic adventures that revisits the world of SiN - first introduced to gamers back in 1998 - as HardCorps commander John Blade continues his pursuit of Elexis Sinclaire, a Dr. Frankenstein of the future with her own rather nasty designs on humanity.

Art is hard. Making a low-budget independent film is really hard. And sometimes, finding a place to show that film—and, if you're an interested viewer, finding a place to see it—can be even harder.
In a state that is home to a festival synonymous with independent film, filmmakers still need chances to get their creations out into the world. The Salt Lake City Film Festival provides such a showcase, with 17 feature narrative and documentary films—plus shorts—screening over four days. The nonfiction films include musical profiles of The Replacements, Jay Reatard and Andrew Bird, plus explorations of the world of human medical guinea pigs and the fight of a lesbian woman for custody of her child. Narratives explore 20-something aimlessness, a creepy attempt at an "intervention" and siblings coping with the death of their father. Take an eclectic tour through the funky world of truly original film works. (Scott Renshaw)

You can predict the ball's destination by intersecting its velocity vector with the paddle axis (and if the velocity vector is normalized, the distance of the intersection along that vector also happens to give the time to intersection).

here is the code I am using
if(right_paddle>=-220) { right_paddle=-right_paddle_vel; } if(right_paddle<=220) { right_paddle+=right_paddle_vel; }
Your paddle appears to be doing the following:
If your paddle position is greater than -220, it's position will be set to -right_paddle_vel. I'm going to assume right_paddle_vel is less than 220, so it seems as if it will be stuck there.
Otherwise, we will keep moving it at a speed of right_paddle_vel.
Maybe you want to do this.
if(paddle_y > ball_y){ paddle_y -= vel; } else if(paddle_y < ball_y){ paddle_y += vel; }
where vel is some positive number.

All you need is two points, the starting position (x1 + y1) and the ending position (x2 + y2). However, it's pretty easy if you know the velocity to find another point, put it in here, and then use either y = mx + b or y1 - y = m(x1 -x) To find anothe point. Just use some basic math to calculate the ending position of the ball, then move your computer paddle at a predetermined speed to find it (Preferably slower than velx, or else you'll end up having a never ending A.I.)

Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO The Clayton County Board of Education will start off the new year by swearing in its new members and electing its leadership at Monday night's meeting.
The board will meet at 5:30 p.m. for Judge Pam Ferguson to swear in new board members District 2 Mark Christmas, who defeated Wanda Smith in the runoff election with 78.64 percent of votes, and District 7 Judy Johnson, who defeated Trinia Garrett in the runoff election with 84.93 percent of votes.
Returning board members District 3 Jessie Goree, District 5 Ophelia Burroughs and District 6 Mary Baker will be sworn in for a new four-year term as well.
Later, the board will vote on a new board chairman and board vice-chairman, positions currently held by District 1 Pam Adamson and Baker, respectively.
According to the board of education website, "the chairperson shall be elected bi-annually at the January meeting by the board of education and shall be eligible for re-election to subsequent terms of office by a majority vote of the Board. The vice-chair shall be elected by the board annually at the regular January meeting and shall serve for the remainder of the calendar year."
Adamson said the board will select candidates based on leadership.
"It'll be just like any other kind of election," Adamson said. "We'll have nominations and the board will vote."
The board will also discuss the letter written to Dr. Elgart, president of Southern Accreditation of Colleges and Schools (SACS), which is due by Jan. 15.
The purpose of the letter is to indicate what progress has been made toward the issues mentioned in the letter from SACS by Jan. 15. Board members were also required to describe their readiness for the External Review Visit for District Accreditation.
Adamson said she believes the meeting will be fairly standard and doesn't expect any unforeseen obstacles or conflicts.
"It looks like a fairly routine meeting," Adamson said. "We'll elect officers, we'll do the regular set agenda and I didn't see anything surprising on that."
Monday night's meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at the school system's Central Administration Complex, 1058 Fifth Ave., Jonesboro.

PALM BAY, FL (NBC) - When you leave Wal-Mart after making a purchase, you walk past a scanner that sets off an alarm if you haven't paid for something. And if the alarm goes off at this Wal-Mart, Ed Bauman will want to talk to you.
Ed Bauman, Wal-Mart greeter, says "I'm getting too old for this stuff."
Too old to be punched in the head by a customer who exception to Bauman's questions. Ed says when he swang, he got me right here, pointing to the back of his head. The 69-year-old greeter was at the entrance when the man in red shorts, identified as Skyler Lowery set off the alarm but then refused to stop when Bauman questioned him.
Bauman went outside to get his license but watch this, the guy rips Bauman's clipboard from his hands and goes back inside.
Ed says "I grabbed the clip board back and as I was doing that, he hit me with a doubled-up fist behind my ear."
The 6-foot-2 retired Marine didn't back down. Ed says the security officer said if you would have hit him in the jaw the way you hit him in the chest, you would have knocked him out.
Police arrested Lowery who would have faced a charge of misdemeanor battery had Bauman been under 65. But hitting an older person is a felony and Bauman says he still doesn't know why it happened. The alarm was false and Lowery had a receipt for everything in his bag.
Failing to show the receipt in this case meant the difference between 10 seconds and five years. It would have taken 10 seconds to show the receipt but now he faces up to five years for battery on a person over 65.

A Catoosa man is reaching out through the World Wide Web to help those with a rare disease.
Two of Danny Carlton's children have a genetic disease, and now he's using his talents as a web designer to bring comfort to thousands of others.
Carlton said it's easy for parents of children with a rare disease to feel like they're on an island, all alone. That's why he came up with a plan to connect those parents through the Internet.
He has four children, two of whom were born with a rare disease, Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia or CAH, which means their adrenal glands do not function properly.
Carlton also designs websites and, for years, he's helped people with CAH connect with each other.
"So a lot of people are from the U.S., one from Canada, from Europe, Asia—we get some from South America," Carlton said.
Carlton's latest venture is to take what he's learned from helping people with CAH and apply that to find other people who suffer from other rare diseases.
"I'm trying to duplicate that service for a whole bunch of other rare diseases and conditions," Carlton said.
Raredisease.org launched this week. You go to the home page and type in the rare disease you're looking for, register with that particular community and the website takes you to a page that looks like Facebook.
There, you can talk with other parents, kids, or support groups.
"And say, 'I'm dealing with this. What do I do about this?' Stuff like that," Carlton said.
He said he knows what it's like for parents who hear that rare disease diagnosis for the first time.
"And when a parent first hears your child has this, they get that panic and they're scared because of all the horrible things that can happen," he said.
The site has 178 rare conditions already listed and Carlton said he has more than 1,000 to go. He doesn't mind the hard work, though, and said it's a way for parents to take control at a very scary time in their lives.
"One of the things that bounces back and forth; we tell new parents, 'You must be an aggressive advocate for your child's health, because no one else is going to be,'" Carlton said.

I used to love lowering down the hoop and throwing down insane dunks. My friend and I would have dunk contests or pretend we were in a 2-2 tournaments.
I'm going to embarrass myself on this. But one time I went up for a dunk off the crate and slipped. I bit everything going down to the ground. My lowest score to date.
i think i'm liking Chris' layup better. last night i tweeted that i thought he'd been practicing that one since he was 5 years old. it reminds me of all the times' i would watch my brother's experiment with trick shots when i was a kid. CJ is definitely a highlight reel in the making!
Nice blog post Shal. Love the embedded videos. At the playground we used to do H.O.R.S.E. but with lay-ups. MJ and Dr. J used to be two that were emulated a lot.
@ Shal Great hustle!!! LOL

A native plant with delicate, cup-shaped flowers, the prairie poppy mallow (Callirhoe involucrata) provides a non-stop show of blooms from summer to frost. Its magenta flowers have five petals with a white eye, and the green foliage has finely cut, palmately divided leaves. With trailing stems and sprawling habit, the prairie poppy mallow is perfect for spilling over walls or planted as a ground cover. Because this mallow has a long tap root, it's drought-tolerant, but difficult to transplant once established. You can find it naturalized in prairies, roadsides, and open woods in central United States. Common name: Prairie poppy mallow, purple poppy mallow Botanical name: Callirhoe involucrata Plant type: Herbaceous perennial Height: 6 to 12 inches Zones: 4 to 8 Family: Malvaceae (Mallow) Growing conditions Sun: Full sun Soil: Well-drained, sandy soil Moisture: Dry to moderate Care Mulch: Add a thin layer of mulch around new plants to deter weeds, especially if you plant it as a ground cover. Fertilizer: None required. Pruning: Cut spent flowers if you want to discourage self-seeding. Garden notes - Because it tolerates drought-like conditions, the prairie poppy mallow fits well in rock gardens and xeriscape gardens. - Use in wildflower or native gardens; its spreading habit is attractive in these low-maintenance gardens. It naturalizes easily because it readily self-sows. - Combine with sundrops (Oenothera perennis), Missouri black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia missouriensis), orange coneflower (Rudbeckia fulgida), sea holly (Eryngium x zabelii), and drought-tolerant plants native to your area. Pests and diseases - Rust and powdery mildew can occur. - Poorly drained soil encourages crown rot. - Aphids and spider mites occasionally attack plants. Propagation - Sow seeds in early spring. - Take cuttings in early summer. All in the family The mallow family includes several annual, biennial, and perennials with showy flowers including common rose mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos), rose of Sharon (H. syriacus), tropical hibiscus (H. rosa-sinensis), hollyhock (Alcea spp.), hollyhock mallow (Malva alcea), annual mallow (Lavatera trimestris), and flowering maple (Abutilon spp.) Text by Mary Pestel, photo courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden PlantFinder.

Edward de Bono
Edward de Bono | |
De Bono in 2010.
Born | Malta |
19 May 1933
Edward de Bono (born 19 May 1933) is a Maltese physician, author, inventor and consultant. He originated the term lateral thinking,[citation needed] wrote the book Six Thinking Hats and is a proponent of the deliberate teaching of thinking as a subject in schools.
Edward Charles Francis Publius de Bono was born in Malta on 19 May 1933. De Bono then gained a medical degree from the University of Malta. Professor de Bono studied at St. Edward's College, Malta and later was a Rhodes Scholar at Christ Church, Oxford, in England where he gained an MA in psychology and physiology. He also represented Oxford in polo and set two canoeing records. He also has a PhD degree and a DPhil in medicine from Trinity College, Cambridge, a DDes (Doctor of Design) from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, and an LLD from the University of Dundee.
Professor de Bono has held faculty appointments at the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, London and Harvard.[1] He is a professor at Malta, Pretoria, Central England and Dublin City University. De Bono holds the Da Vinci Professor of Thinking chair at University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, Arizona, USA.[2] He was one of the 27 Ambassadors for the European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009.[3]
He has written 57 books with translations into 34 languages.[1] He has taught his thinking methods to government agencies, corporate clients, organizations and individuals, privately or publicly in group sessions. He has started to set up the World Center for New Thinking and Peace Studies, based in Malta, which he describes as a "kind of intellectual Red Cross".
In 1995, he created the futuristic documentary film, 2040: Possibilities by Edward de Bono, depicting a lecture to an audience of viewers released from a cryogenic freeze for contemporary society in the year 2040.[1]
Schools from over 20 countries have included de Bono's thinking tools into their curriculum,[2] and he has advised and lectured at board level at many of the world's leading corporations.
Convinced that a key way forward for humanity is better language, he published "The Edward de Bono Code Book" in 2000. In this book, he proposed a suite of new words based on numbers, where each number combination represents a useful idea or situation that currently does not have a single-word representation. For example, de Bono code 6/2 means "Give me my point of view and I will give you your point of view." Such a code might be used in situations where one or both of two parties in a dispute are making insufficient effort to understand the other's perspective.[4]
This section is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay rather than an encyclopedic description of the subject. (September 2012) |
In 2000, de Bono advised a UK Foreign Office committee that the Arab–Israeli conflict might be due, in part, to low levels of zinc found in people who eat unleavened bread (e.g. pita flatbread), a known side-effect of which is aggression. He suggested shipping out jars of Marmite to compensate.[5][6]
The following two critiques on research methodology assume the Philosophy of Positivism. The critiques on Positivism usually comes from the Philosophy of Antipositivism.
- In the Handbook of Creativity, Robert J. Sternberg writes, "Equally damaging to the scientific study of creativity, in our view, has been the takeover of the field, in the popular mind, by those who follow what might be referred to as a pragmatic approach. Those taking this approach have been concerned primarily with developing creativity, secondarily with understanding it, but almost not at all with testing the validity of their ideas about it." Sternberg continues, "Perhaps the foremost proponent of this approach is Edward De Bono, whose work on lateral thinking and other aspects of creativity has had what appears to be considerable commercial success."[7]
- Frameworks For Thinking is an evaluation of 42 popular thinking frameworks conducted by a team of researchers. Regarding Edward De Bono they write, "[he] is more interested in the usefulness of developing ideas than proving the reliability or efficacy of his approach. There is sparse research evidence to show that generalised improvements in thinking performance can be attributed to training in the use of CoRT or Thinking Hats tools. An early evaluation of CoRT reported significant benefits for Special Educational Needs (SEN) pupils.... However, in a more recent study with Australian aboriginal children (Ritchie and Edwards, 1996), little evidence of generalisation was found other than in the area of creative thinking."[8]
The views of De Bono on language have been challenged by some philologists (Marco Ferri, 1994) who contend that his view of language as the biggest barrier to human progress is superficial. Ferri argues that a lack of human critical judgement should be held responsible for the transmission of out-of-date ideas.[citation needed]
De Bono has also been criticized for his suggestion of exporting Marmite to the Middle East in order to ease conflict in the area, as the area is associated with low zinc levels, which De Bono argued leads to heightened aggression. This idea achieved certain prominence.

Zac Efron: Rumer Willis Doing 'Fine' After Demi's Hospitalization; Talks Playing A Pre-Teen In 'The Lorax'
Zac Efron says he's spoken to pal Rumer Willis, following the recent news that the actress' mom was seeking treatment for her health and exhaustion.
"I have, yes," Zac told Access Hollywood Live's Kit Hoover at the junket for "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" in Los Angeles on Monday, when asked if he'd spoke to Demi's daughter.
"She's doing OK, she's doing fine. It's tough what she's going through right now, but she seems to be handling it really well," he added of his friend Rumer.
On Monday, Zac was in good spirits as he promoted his March 2-due animated feature film, "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax," where he stars as the voice of 12-year-old Ted.
But he told Kit it wasn't easy to slip into character.
The actor had wrapped up his role as marine Logan Thibault in the April 20-due "The Lucky One," when he was brought on to play Ted, a young man who sets out to win the heart of Audrey (voiced by Taylor Swift), the girl of his dreams, by finding a tree, and in turn, discovering the story of the Lorax.
"I had just finished filming '[The] Lucky One,' I was 15 pounds heavier," Zac told Kit. "Then I had to come in and do these voices and he was 12."
Zac's cure for his adult voice was a healthy drink and hard work.
"I was – early in the morning – drinking green tea, trying to get my voice up high – as high as humanly possible," he smiled.
The star said he actually took inspiration from another actor in trying to get the voice just right.
"He's a real spontaneous, fun loving guy, but I sort of pictured him like Michael J. Fox," Zac explained. "He's really high energy."
Ted has his heart set on Audrey and Zac said his character's journey in the film brought back nice memories from his own past.
"You're still figuring out what love is at that age, but it's best time in the world," Zac reminisced. "Watching him, you know, try and find this tree for the love of his life, it's very romantic. It's a noble journey he's on."
"Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" hits theaters on March 2.

Re: Connor Barwin?
5 games in and still zero sacks for Barwin and 2.5 for reed. I only saw Barwin have one quality rush during the game. Our pass rush has been poor outside of JJ Watt.

Wonder if Connor can cover and take over Cush's spot?

Re: Connor Barwin?
Barwin can't even play the position he's supposed to play so I wouldn't be moving him to another position to find he can't play that one either.

Re: Connor Barwin?
what's with the ugly stutter step that i keep seeing from barwin? he's spending too much time watching the play and dancing and trying to set his guy up - barwin needs to start attacking.

& so it begins
Re: Connor Barwin?
Still, Barwin isn't filling the bill, that is a dynamic position on this defense & something has to happen. Merci hadn't earned the position, but neither has anyone else on the team. But it's time for a change. Brooks is playing well. Last two games especially. I'd hate to take him off the field, but I'd rather do that, than bench Barwin. Of course, there's no need to bench Barwin, we could up Whitney's reps at WOLB, or throw Braman in there with the first group more often. We gotta do something. Jj can't keep this up, playing all by himself. |

Re: Connor Barwin?
Uh... he's supposed to be playing the strong side. Even as a rookie in the 4-3, filling for Mario, he played on the strong side. He's playing out of position, the reason we drafted Merci to begin with.

Re: Connor Barwin?
All I know is with Cushing out Barwin, Reed and Mercilious ALL need to step their game up. Dont have to worry about TE's catching balls over the middle when the oppositions QB is on his ass!

Re: Connor Barwin?
I'd play three safeties.
Manning is hoss enough to make it work, too. Wade could set up some scary **** if he put three safeties out there and had one of those three always creeping up to the LOS (middle, edge, wherever). We lost our best ILB, so my thinking is "Why fight against it? Adapt." And Danieal Manning is an old school Safety, the kind of guy who can drift down and play the run or play coverage. He's capable of doing so much more than he has been. I can't wait to see how Wade adapts to this. He's at his best when he has to solve problems and get creative. Manning, IMO, could really be a shot in the arm here if he's unleashed.

Re: Connor Barwin?
If Barwin would just keep running wide at least he might take the tackle with him weakening the line & allowing a cb or safety to get through. Seemed like Barwin was just being screened out.

You'd hate to lose what Reed's been doing on the strong side, but hopefully it's in the back of Wade's mind.

I think Wade is waiting for another Cowboy to be cut.

Re: Connor Barwin?
Didn't they have to swap positions a few games in because it wasn't working? Everyone always says how we didn't miss a beat when Mario went down, I actually thought there was a period of adjustment where they weren't quite getting there for a few games before Watt, Barwin and Reed went sick down the stretch and into the playoffs.

Re: Connor Barwin?
It is worth noting that Barwin tallied only 2 sacks in the first eight games last season, before exploding for 9½ in the final eight contests.

He was playing solb over the TE, dropping in coverage quite a bit. Mario was rushing the passer mostly from wolb. They are more balanced in how they rush the olb's this year but barwin is still a bunch and he's playing on the weakside. All that aside, him exploding for the four sacks in jacksonvile which was basically a third of his sacks is not necessarily a positive. I like barwin and he is not sucking. But he's not playing at a high level either. |
