theodp writes Over at Khan Academy, Salman Khan explains Why I'm Cautious About Telling My Son He's Smart. "Recently," writes Khan, "I put into practice research I had been reading about for the past few years: I decided to praise my son not when he succeeded at things he was already good at, but when he persevered with things that he found difficult. I stressed to him that by struggling, your brain grows. Between the deep body of research on the field of learning mindsets and this personal experience with my son, I am more convinced than ever that mindsets toward learning could matter more than anything else we teach." According to Dr. Carol Dweck, who Khan cites, the secret to raising smart kids is not telling kids that they are. A focus on effort — not on intelligence or ability — says Dweck, is key to success in school and in life.

As reported by the BBC, two satellites meant to form part of the EU's Galileo global positioning network have been launched into a wrong, lower orbit, and it is unclear whether they can be salvaged. NASASpaceFlight.com has a more detailed account of the launch, which says [D]espite the Arianespace webcast noting no issue with the launch, it was later admitted the satellites were lofted into the wrong orbit. "Following the announcement made by Arianespace on the anomalies of the orbit injection of the Galileo satellites, the teams of industries and agencies involved in the early operations of the satellites are investigating the potential implications on the mission," noted a short statement, many hours after the event. It is unlikely the satellites can be eased into their correct orbit, even with a large extension to their transit time. However, ESA are not classing the satellites as lost at this time. "Both satellites have been acquired and are safely controlled and operated from ESOC, ESA's Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany," the Agency added. Over the course of the next "year or so," an additional 24 satellites are slated to complete the Galileo constellation, to be launched by a mixed slate of Ariane and Soyuz rockets.

rbrandis (735555) writes In a video announcement Thursday on Discovery Channel, MythBusters hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman revealed that longtime co-hosts and fan favorites Kari Byron, Grant Imahara, and Tory Belleci are no longer on the show. "This next season we're going back to our origins with just Adam and me," Hyneman said in the video, which explained that the change took hold as of the season's last episode on August 21. (Our interview with the original-and-remaining Mythbusters is one of my favorites.)

the_newsbeagle writes: To make a brain-machine interface, you need a way to capture neurons' electric signals. The most precise and most invasive way uses implants that are stuck in the gray matter. The least precise and least invasive way uses EEG sensors stuck to the scalp. But researchers at Johns Hopkins University say there's a third way that gets the best of both worlds, which is not too invasive and fairly precise. They use ECoG systems, in which a mesh of electrodes is placed under the skull, draped over the surface of the cortex.
They're testing their systems on epilepsy patients, who have these ECoG systems inserted anyway while they're waiting for surgery (the electrodes record the source of their seizures). The researchers are capturing these patients' movement commands from their brains, and using them to control robotic limbs. Someday such a system could be used by amputees to control their prosthetic limbs.

schwit1 writes: Using restored images taken by Voyager 2 when it flew past Neptune's moon Triton 25 years ago, scientists have produced a new map and flyby movie of the moon. "The new Triton map has a resolution of 1,970 feet (600 meters) per pixel. The colors have been enhanced to bring out contrast but are a close approximation to Triton's natural colors. Voyager's "eyes" saw in colors slightly different from human eyes, and this map was produced using orange, green and blue filter images. ... Although Triton is a moon of a planet and Pluto is a dwarf planet, Triton serves as a preview of sorts for the upcoming Pluto encounter. Although both bodies originated in the outer solar system, Triton was captured by Neptune and has undergone a radically different thermal history than Pluto. Tidal heating has likely melted the interior of Triton, producing the volcanoes, fractures and other geological features that Voyager saw on that bitterly cold, icy surface. Pluto is unlikely to be a copy of Triton, but some of the same types of features may be present." Dr. Paul Schenk provides provides further information on his blog, and the movie can be viewed here.

Jason Koebler writes: In order to get inside China's notorious internet filter, Harvard researcher Gary King created his own fake social network to gain access to the programs used to censor content, so he could reverse-engineer the system. "From inside China, we created our own social media website, purchased a URL, rented server space, contracted with one of the most popular software platforms in China used to create these sites, submitted, automatically reviewed, posted, and censored our own submissions," King wrote in a study published in Science. "We had complete access to the software; we were even able to get their recommendations on how to conduct censorship on our own site in compliance with government standards."

MikeChino writes A new paper by a group of researchers from Montana State University confirms that life can survive under antarctic ice. Researchers led by John Priscu drilled down into the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and pulled up organisms called Archaea. These organisms survive by converting methane into energy, enabling them to survive where there is no wind or sunlight, buried deep under the ice.

sciencehabit writes To probe the dawn of time, astronomers usually peer far away; but now they've made a notable discovery close to home. An ancient star a mere thousand light-years from Earth bears chemical elements that may have been forged by the death of a star that was both extremely massive and one of the first to arise after the big bang. If confirmed, the finding means that some of the universe's first stars were so massive they died in exceptionally violent explosions that altered the growth of early galaxies.

vinces99 writes with news about a study that may account for a slowdown in air temperature rises. Following rapid warming in the late 20th century, this century has so far seen surprisingly little increase in the average temperature at the Earth's surface. More than a dozen theories have now been proposed for the so-called global warming hiatus, ranging from air pollution to volcanoes to sunspots. New research from the University of Washington shows the heat absent from the surface is plunging deep in the north and south Atlantic Ocean, and is part of a naturally occurring cycle. The study is published in Science. Subsurface ocean warming explains why global average air temperatures have flatlined since 1999, despite greenhouse gases trapping more solar heat at the Earth's surface. "Every week there's a new explanation of the hiatus," said corresponding author Ka-Kit Tung, a UW professor of applied mathematics and adjunct faculty member in atmospheric sciences. "Many of the earlier papers had necessarily focused on symptoms at the surface of the Earth, where we see many different and related phenomena. We looked at observations in the ocean to try to find the underlying cause." What they found is that a slow-moving current in the Atlantic, which carries heat between the two poles, sped up earlier this century to draw heat down almost a mile (1,500 meters). Most previous studies focused on shorter-term variability or particles that could block incoming sunlight, but they could not explain the massive amount of heat missing for more than a decade.

Zothecula writes We've been hearing a lot about the development of tiny flying sensor-equipped robots, that could be sent into areas such as disaster sites to seek out survivors or survey the damage. However, why go to the trouble of designing those robots from scratch, when there are already ready-made insects that are about the right size? That's the thinking behind research being conducted at North Carolina State University, which is aimed at converting moths into "biobots".

schwit1 writes: Managers of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) are searching for a mission that they can propose and convince Congress to fund. "Once SLS is into the 2020s, the launch rate should see the rocket launching at least once per year, ramping up to a projected three times per year for the eventual Mars missions. However, the latter won't be until the 2030s. With no missions manifested past the EM-2 flight, the undesirable question of just how 'slow' a launch rate would be viable for SLS and her workforce has now been asked." Meanwhile, two more Russian rocket engines were delivered yesterday, the first time that's happened since a Russian official threatened to cut off the supply. Another shipment of three engines is expected later this year. In Europe, Arianespace and the European Space Agency signed a contract today for the Ariane 5 rocket to launch 12 more of Europe's Galileo GPS satellites on three launches. This situation really reminds me of the U.S. launch market in the 1990s, when Boeing and Lockheed Martin decided that, rather than compete with Russia and ESA for the launch market, they instead decided to rely entirely on U.S. government contracts, since those contracts didn't really demand that they reduce their costs significantly to compete.

cranky_chemist sends this report from NPR: "Cancer simply may be here to stay. Researchers at Kiel University, the Catholic University of Croatia and other institutions discovered that hydra — tiny, coral-like polyps that emerged hundreds of millions of years ago — form tumors similar to those found in humans. Which suggests that our cells' ability to develop cancer is "an intrinsic property" that has evolved at least since then — way, way, way before we rallied our forces to try to tackle it, said Thomas Bosch, an evolutionary biologist at Kiel University who led the study, published in Nature Communications in June (abstract) To get ahead of cancer, he said, "you have to interfere with fundamental pathways. It's a web of interactions," he said. "It's very difficult to do." That's why cancer "will probably never be completely eradicated."

KentuckyFC writes: Superconductors allow current to flow with zero resistance when cooled below some critical temperature. They are the crucial ingredients in everything from high-power magnets and MRI machines to highly sensitive magnetometers and magnetic levitation devices. But one big problem is that superconductors work only at very low temperatures — the highest is around 150 kelvin (-120 degrees centigrade). So scientists would dearly love to find ways of raising this critical temperature. Now a group of physicists say they've found a promising approach: to build metamaterial superconductors that steer electrons in the same way as other metamaterials steer light to create invisibility cloaks. The inspiration for the work comes from the observation that some high temperature superconductors consist of repeated layers of conducting and dielectric structures. So the team mixed tin — a superconductor at 3.7 kelvin — with the dielectric barium titanate and found that it raised the critical temperature by 0.15 kelvin. That's the first demonstration that superconductors can be thought of as metamaterials. With this proof of principle under their belts, the next step is to look for bigger gains at higher temperatures.

sciencehabit writes: An experimental treatment against an Ebola-related virus can protect monkeys even when given up to 3 days after infection, the point at which they show the first signs of disease. The virus, known as Marburg, causes severe hemorrhagic fever—vomiting, diarrhea, and internal bleeding. In one outbreak, it killed 90% of people it infected. There are no proven treatments or vaccines against it. The new results raise hopes that the treatment might be useful for human patients even if they don't receive it until well after infection. The company that makes the compound, Tekmira, based in Burnaby, Canada, has started a human safety trial of a related drug to treat Ebola virus disease, and researchers hope that it, too, might offer protection even after a patient has started to feel ill. In other Ebola news, the two American aid workers who were infected with the virus while in Liberia have now recovered and been released from the hospital.

StartsWithABang writes It's the holy grail of modern particle physics: discovering the first smoking-gun, direct evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. Sure, there are unanswered questions and unsolved puzzles, ranging from dark matter to the hierarchy problem to the strong-CP problem, but there's no experimental result clubbing us over the head that can't be explained with standard particle physics. That is, the physics of the Standard Model in the framework of quantum field theory. Or is there? Take a look at the evidence from the muon's magnetic moment, and see what might be the future of physics.

aarondubrow writes The National Science Foundation today announced two $10 million projects to create cloud computing testbeds — to be called "Chameleon" and "CloudLab" — that will enable the academic research community to experiment with novel cloud architectures and pursue new, architecturally-enabled applications of cloud computing. While most of the original concepts for cloud computing came from the academic research community, as clouds grew in popularity, industry drove much of the design of their architecture. Today's awards complement industry's efforts and enable academic researchers to advance cloud computing architectures that can support a new generation of innovative applications, including real-time and safety-critical applications like those used in medical devices, power grids, and transportation systems.

sciencehabit writes China's Ministry of Agriculture has decided not to renew biosafety certificates that allowed research groups to grow genetically modified (GM) rice and corn. The permits, to grow two varieties of GM rice and one transgenic corn strain, expired on 17 August. The reasoning behind the move is not clear, and it has raised questions about the future of related research in China.

mdsolar writes that a study suggests that tuberculosis first appeared in the New World less than 6,000 years ago and it was brought here by seals. After a remarkable analysis of bacterial DNA from 1,000-year-old mummies, scientists have proposed a new hypothesis for how tuberculosis arose and spread around the world. The disease originated less than 6,000 years ago in Africa, they say, and took a surprising route to reach the New World: it was carried across the Atlantic by seals. The new study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, has already provoked strong reactions from other scientists. "This is a landmark paper that challenges our previous ideas about the origins of tuberculosis," said Terry Brown, a professor of biomolecular archaeology at the University of Manchester. "At the moment, I'm still in the astonished stage over this."

An anonymous reader writes eBooks are great and wonderful, but as The Guardian reports, they might not be as good for readers as paper books. Results from a new study show that test subjects who read a story on a Kindle had trouble recalling the proper order of the plot events. Out of 50 test subjects, half read a 28-page story on the Kindle, while half read the same story on paper. The Kindle group scored about the same on comprehension as the control group, but when they were asked to put the plot points in the proper order, the Kindle group was about twice as likely to get it wrong.
So, is this bad news for ebooks? Have we reached the limits of their usefulness? Not necessarily. While there is evidence that enhanced ebooks don't enhance education, an older study from 2012 showed that students who study with an e-textbook on an ebook reader actually scored as well or higher on tests than a control group who did not. While that doesn't prove the newer research wrong, it does suggest that further study is required. What has your experience been with both recall and enjoyment when reading ebooks?

We had an interior room and it was a bit small. We choose to keep the beds into singles due to no room to walk around.
The main dining room (Grand Pacific) had windows all the way around the dining room. This made the room very hot. After two nights we tried the other dining room and it was much better. Still warm but bearable. The food was average to terrible. The breakfast hash I awful. There were no speciality items like shrimp cocktail or lobster. The specialty restaurants were advertised everywhere. We do not go on an all inclusive cruise to pay extra for meals.
The shows were OK not as good as RCCL and not well attended at all.
The ports were fine. We took 3 excursions and they were OK. Turkey was the best. Great guide and nice lunch at a country club.
The worst was our departure. We had first off and we did get off on time. However when to went to look for our luggage it was not there. We had an early flight so we asked the staff to help us. They said some of the 1st off luggage did not make it off but it was coming. 30 minutes later we were still waiting. My husband asked the staff if he could complete the lost luggage form because we had an early flight to catch. We were flying to Budapest to catch a river cruise. The staff said they could not send our luggage there and we had we wait. He asked if they would pay for our flight if we missed our flight. She said no, she had to talk to her manager. Our luggage finally made it and we left. There is no way I would ever get my husband on a Norwegian cruise. He said he would pay more before he would do this.

Good quality strong mat. washes easily. No more slipping in my shower!!
The mat was all that was written about it. It was a good feeling on my feet, and it stayed in place.Price was right and worth it.
This is a greally good bathmat. Grips very well and is comfortable on your feet. Feels very secure and not slippery.
Good solid mat . It is large enough for our soaking tub.
I would have given this a 5 if the end would uncurl and lay flat. I had a new shower installed to replace a garden tub and the base, although "textured" felt slippery when I used hair conditioner. This makes me feel very secure. I am hoping that the straight end at the back of the shower eventually lays flat; however, it does not effect safety and I am very pleased with this purchase
It is a good product. It stays in place, yet is easy to remove to clean and the reset.
As soon as I received the mat I placed it in the tub and just while taking a shower as I stood on it I realized that the mat stayed firmly in place without slipping. This mat is just great and very affordable. You can't go wrong with this one!
I was concerned because I thought this shower bath mat would look like it belonged in a hospital because it came from a medical supply provider. However, it wasn't and it is of good quality. It washes well and covers the whole tub.

I liked that it looked clean within the room and the grounds as well. The staff was more than friendly and even gave me directions to where I was going. The room itself was a good size. The bathroom and sink area were separate which I love. The closet was a good size even though we didn't need it.
I had to ask for more pillows because each bed only had 2. I personally sleep with 2 at all times. But that wasn't a problem to receive. The TV was an old tube TV and had bad reception. Maybe upgrading to a flat screen and investing in a HD Antenna would be a good addition.
Location that's great for what we came to the city to see.
There was no air conditioning in four of our rooms!
Close to places we wan td to visit
Location, parking, cleanliness
No flat screen tv
The location.
The layout of the bathroom with the sink in the main room (no door), the hotel was like a 1960s tower block and very run down, carpet in the room which looked dirty, mouldy net curtains. The staff were not very friendly. Only one small blanket. TV was small and outdated and could only get a few channels.
Excellent location, close to many eating places, markets, clubs. Pier 39 and Union Square are within walking distance.
Room was quite small. Limited tv channels.
Location, cleanliness
Not a pleasant view.
It was 10 minutes away from the AT&T Park Satdium & easy drive getting there...
We booked for 3 nights to do some sightseeing, we wanted a hotel in a good location, Royal Pacific was perfect. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
We were initially given a room at the front of the hotel, but Broadway is a busy road and suffers from heavy traffic most of the night. We asked to be moved and were given a room away from the front, and away from the traffic noise, many thanks to the staff.
Location, parking free
Wifi slow, noisy, not good smell in room, expensive
Great location - nice walk to the Warf & Union Square. The staff were helpful when booking tours and trips. The room was clean and the beds were really comfy. We had a lovely stay in the Royal Pacific and would recommend the hotel.
The hotel is a bit dated looking but don't let that put you off!
Perfect location between Chinatown and North Beach. Free parking. Rooms are OK.
Wifi sluggish at times.

Great location right in the heart of Chinatown. Helpful staff. Comfy bed, secure location. No fridge in room, but they are available if you ask. Secure parking the entire three days that we were there. Would return there again for sure!
Coffee was not good
Good place to stay for the price. Staff is very nice. Place is clean for an older hotel. Can't beat the price of parking.... FREE!!
The hotel is very close to Chinatown and only a couple of blocks from the cable car lines. Free parking!
Very old and not many updates, but clean.
Location, comfortable bed. Quiet, however could have been noisy at the front!
Noisy aircon, no fridge.
it not a clean place.
Location between Chinatown and North Beach Italian neighborhood. 10 minute walk to Union Square. Free parking. Could even leave the car there several hours after checkout time.
- Free parking - Clean bathroom
- Noise from the street. We booked the room 3 months ahead asking for a quiet room (which they have - facing from the street). And we got the worst room possible - second floor directly above the street. They just ignored our requet. Using ear plugs was the only option how to get some sleep (I never used them, don't need anywhere during my travels). - Noise from other rooms. Room next to us was just behind some strange door so we heart every word.
Proximity to Beach Blanket Babylon and the North Beach restaurants
They charge for ice in the ice machine!
It was a 20-25 minute walk from Pier 39.
It's too expensive for what we got. The room was fairly clean, but didn't feel truly clean. The sheets didn't feel clean. nothing smelled freshly clean. And yes, the shower had a bit of mold. you have to pay for ice. The walls are so thin, you could clearly hear others laughing. It's a very busy street, so we heard trucks all night. Our room didn't have AC, had to open a 12 x 12 in window for fresh air. And no continental breakfast. :(
Good location and comfortable bed
No Wi-Fi in the room

Like many who've gone before him, Ståle Sandbech is a young Norwegian rider who broke onto the scene at impressively young age and with an impressive amount of talent. He's made a name for himself as an incredible competitor and already has an enviable trophy cabinet. Sandbech made his own mark by not only imitating riders, but by providing fresh new moves, every now and then, to regularly amaze the crowds. He could be grasping huge air from a kicker or he could be in the pipe, Sandbech always succeeds in making an impression. He's won the Overall Men's title in 2012, the next year he only managed second in the same standings but also added a second place in the Big Air rankings. Despite his youth Ståle has never been afraid to mix it with the big boys. He competed in the Arctic Challenge when he was just 13 and made his Olympic debut aged 17, a feat that made him the youngest person to represent Norway for over 80 years.

Mercedes dealership
Original post made by Earl on Mar 18, 2013
Anyone know what's going on?
on Mar 18, 2013 at 7:57 pm
they used some non-union contractors in the build of their new showroom (the huge, under construction structure located east of the dealership).
on Mar 19, 2013 at 8:43 am
So do I understand this right. A private auto dealer used some none union labor, and now they have picket lines and signs. Time to get rid of the unions when they think they have that right. Shame on the unions. Anyone that belongs to a union should quit the union, O' I just remembered, you can't quit, you don't the right to select anything on your own.
What is happening to our rights in the United States?

liberalism is a disease is a registered user.
Ironically, the union bosses that showed up to observe their thugs picketing were driving their Mercedes.

Tributes paid to Coun Michael Kelly of Addingham

His close friend and fellow councillor, Coun Andrew Mallinson, said: "Michael really enjoyed his role as Executive Member of Children's Services. He was always very calm and dedicated and did his best to make sense of a very difficult job."
Keighley MP Kris Hopkins said: "During my period as leader of Bradford Council, I had the privilege of appointing Mike to the position of Portfolio Holder for Children's Services. It was a role he fulfilled with great distinction."

Tom Sholz said in the liner notes of "Third Stage" that without Brad Delp's vocals, it just wouldn't have been a Boston album. He was right. It took 3(!) different vocalists blended together to approximate Brad Delp's vocals on this album and the songs suffer from it. Fran Cosmo (of Barry Goudreau's solo projects) has taken over the lead vocals of this album and does a servicable job, but it just doesn't sound right. Something is missing from each of these songs besides Brad. While each song has great moments of that classic Boston sound, each has an element that brings the song down a notch or two. "I Need Your Love" is sheer Boston, and you almost don't miss Brad Delp's voice. "Surrender To Me" has a classic Boston chorus with wonderful harmonies, but the song is marred by a rhythmic THUD throughout the song. "What's Your Name" is a pretty decent song as well, even though every time it starts, I think I am listening to "Bette Davis Eyes." Overall, this album suffers from being overproduced. It sounds as if Tom intentionally mixed down the vocals so you couldn't tell that it wasn't Brad singing, and it makes everything sound like mush. Most of the songs sound like generic rock tunes done in a Boston style, which is too bad. Way back when "Third Stage" was in production, Tom was conducting blind tests using different singers with varied success. He should have redirected his energy into convincing Brad to return.

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Boston can lay claim to take the blame – or the credit – for the swathe of stadium rock that washed over America in the late seventies. The release of Boston's debut album in 1976, paved the way for such bands as Reo Speedwagon, Journey, and Styx, to follow in the masters' footsteps. Like 'em or hate 'em, you cannot fail to admire them for pure musical skill. Boston was the vehicle for Tom Scholz to become the Godfather of Pomp Rock, in his early years better known for his prowess on the basketball pitch. However, he gave up enough of his time trying to make the hoops to score big time on the field of rock `n' roll.Boston's debut album sold over 17 million copies and had a top five single with 'More Than A Feeling'. The second album 'Don't Look Back' was released two years later, sold 7 million copies and had a top thirty hit with the title track of the album. This was followed six years later by Third Stage (1986), which sold 4 million and did not yield a hit single. The next album, the one under scrutiny here, was a further eight years in the making. 'Walk On' sold 1 million copies and none of the singles bothered the Billboard top fifty. Does anybody notice a pattern developing here? So, what is 'Walk On' like? Well, it's a bit half and half. If you are a first time buyer of Boston and the magical sound scapes made by Tom Scholz and his team, then you would be better off buying the first album, or at a pinch the Greatest Hits collection, but, as Greatest Hits go, that album's tracks seemed to have been picked with a pin rather than on merit. `Walk On' starts off in fine style with a classy slice of Boston. 'I Need Your Love' is a good emotional song that catches you off guard as does the first thrashing chords of Tom Scholz' multi layered guitar. New vocalist Fran Cosmo, a sound-alike for previous vocalist Brad Delp, proves he more than adequately fills those boots. Tom Scholz plays all the instruments needed in the studio, only picking up sidemen to go out on the road. That's pretty impressive considering the standard of musical skills on display, but no wonder it took him so long between albums. The multi layered guitar tracks alone would of tested the patience of any normal mortal. So maybe it was better that perfectionist Scholz did all his own work, only needing a throat to put on the voices.'Surrender To Me' is over five minutes of head bangin' Boston rock, really showing off the guitar orchestra style patented by Scholz. Next is the album's obligatory power ballad which Fran Cosmo sings with such pathos, the lyrics just have to come from the heart or Fran is just an old ham. This is followed by over twelve minutes of the glorious title track, probably the best thing ever done by Boston (including everything on the first album).Split into four parts, 'Walk on' is really just a good old excuse for Tom Scholz to show off his ability on guitar and keyboards, and his feel for writing a good chorus. Part one, 'Walkin' By Night', is a Blitzkrieg power blast on guitar with all the amps turned up to eleven. As Tom Scholz says in the liner notes "Some people take their dog for a walk at night, some people walk their guitar". Part two brings in the chorus – and plain and simple – it just rocks. The stadium hoards would wait for the opening guitar riff, before going totally ape (album sales may have dropped in the eighties, the very name "Boston" would immediately sell out any arena). Part three, subtitled 'Get Organ-ized', is exactly as the title suggests, a frantic workout on keyboards, and suffice to say a Hammond B-3 is a big organ with a big sound. Part four is more of the same from part two, only louder, harder, and longer. It finishes up with a frantic musical orgasm of sound. Well worth the eight year wait between products for the first four tracks, but (there's always a but) the final three tracks see Scholz and his co-horts totally lose the plot. The three tracks take up fifteen minutes of playing time and leave you with a nasty taste in the ears. Just musical fodder to fill up the album. It sounds like Boston playing music in a similar fashion to paint by numbers, or join the dots. Total dross and a very disappointing end to the album. But (there's sometimes yet another but) turn the C.D. back to the title track and all is forgiven.In 2004 the pattern continues, ten years after 'Walk On', Boston released their next album 'Corporate America'. So far sales have not reached 1/2 a million. I doubt they bothered releasing a single.Scattered by Mott The DogSettled by Ella Crew
When people think of music by Boston, most of them think about songs from the seventies, such as "More Than A Feeling" and "Don't Look Back". However, "Walk On", released in the mid-nineties, is very good in its own right and deserves mention of its own along with the earlier Boston cds. At the front of the band in the seventies was Brad Delp, who's multi-octave voice brought life to all of the earlier songs. However, Brad decided to leave the group before the release of "Walk On" and was relpaced by Fran Cosmo, who does a very good job in his own right handling the lead vocals on this cd.
Boston's trademarks were excellent guitar work, loud drums, cool synthesizer and organ play, and, of course, strong lead and harmony vocals. Nothing's changed. All of these earlier aspects of Boston's success are evident on this cd as well. Tencho-wizard Tom Scholz and his band have once again combined all of these factors into this disc, and the result is a combination of great rock and roll songs.
Each song on the disc is excellent. Fran's voice shines through on "I Need Your Love" and "Livin For You". Songs such as "Surrender To Me" and "Walk On" showcase the great guitar, synthesizer, and drum work which made Boston famous. But there is one song on this disc that stands above the rest in my opinion: "Magdaline". Fran Cosmo sounds better than ever on this song, and the harmony vocals are some of the best I've heard from Boston.
I've been a fan of Boston for many years and I've listened to all of their early and later cds. This disc deserves to be mentioned as one of their best. All of the aspects that made Boston a supergroup are evident on this cd, and even with the loss of Brad Delp, the band doesn't miss a beat. Pick up this great cd and experience the progression of one of the supergroups of the seventies to one of the best groups of the nineties.
Review no. 69. Follow-up to Boston's 'Third Stage' album (see my review). Obviously their fourth lp in eighteen (18) years. I'm giving it a 3 1/2 star rating because after listening to this CD twice in one night, I believe Tom Scholz and crew gave this disc a full hearted effort. Tunes here that sort of grow on you are "Surrender To Me", "Walking At Night" (now, this is like the trademark arena rocking Boston I remember), title track "Walk On" and well written "What's Your Name", Maybe not a classic, but still worth checking out.
Wow. Walk on – to me, this is by the greatest, hard – rocking album i've ever heard in the 90's. This powerfull album, released by the rock master, BOSTON, blew me away! I thought it would be some pop – crap punk album from the melodic rock genre (after all, I read these people's reviews. What kind of lame ass crap are they pulling?!) The main disapointment in this album for critics was Brad Delp's disaperance. But, that is not true – on page 7 of the booklet, it clearly states that Brad is in the entire Walk On medley, and wrote many songs. You can't deny that, unless your an oaf. Walk on is a great mix of music all throughout the album. Fran Cosmo is great vocalist, and with Bradley, they both rock the album throughout its tracks. And here they are:I Need Your Love – this song is a great rocker that represents the emotional side of Boston. It has a great jam part in the beginning, which really caught my attention. Fran Cosmo rocks.Surrender To Me – Boston hits the peak with this hard rocking yet melodic track. It was a major disapointment to me that this didn't make the greatest hits. It has an amazing chorus and funky lyrics throughout its great guitar rifts.Living For You – Amazing. Simply amazing. This beuatiful, melodic ballad is stunning to your ears. It is perfectly decorated with keyboards and guitars, and Fran sings it perfectly.Walkin' At Night – This short, rockin' track is the most hard core track on the album. Go Tom Scholz!Walk On – Ohhh man! Is that hard core rock or what? This track gave me shivers down my back when I first heard it. Get your train on the track!!!Get Organ – ized – This track is another stunning instrumental with powerful, no amazing organ and guitar jam sessions throughout its 4 minutes and 28 seconds. A stunning, electric drum oriented rocker!Walk on Part two – Second verse, same as the first! This identical version of track 5 still rocks incredibally hard, with extreme vocal intensity all around. Man is this good!What's Your Name – This beuatiful, harmony laden ballad is both powerful and funky ( lyricwise ). Fran really gets to show of his vocal talent here.Magdelene – This beuatiful, emotianally intense rocker peaks the album when it comes to harmony. It has a conspicuously beuatifully chorus, with an amazing jam session. One hell of a rocker.We Can Make It – This sweet, powerfull ballad is melodic rock at its fullest. It has amazing, soothing vocals, spectacular bass guitars and the most powerfull jam session in the album. A great masterpiece of a closing song for the album.Well, that covers it all. This album is amazing in emotional intensity and hard core rock. Brad Delp, Fran Cosmo, Tom Scholz, Cedro Sikes, Doug Hoffman, Gary Phil, and Curly Smith are amazing musicians. Walk On Rocks!

Curiosity is definitely a possible cause...time to let it go.
I don't understand your argument. Care to give it a second shot, please?
Why would anyone actually want to watch it?
I disagree, on the grounds that math ought to be studied for itself. If you try to do everything in math through CS then you'll get a poor grasp of what math is really all about.
They're not anywhere near college level. I've tutored the calculus variants and they do not cover anywhere near the full material for calc 1 let alone 2. At best it's a crappy outline of things to come in college. I would not want someone passing over calculus in college because of those classes.
The weirdest has to be last year. I was suffering from a severe (10/10 pain level) migraine. It took two lortabs to ameliorate the pain. I was still in bed, which happened to be a futon, around 3 am. I just pulled out my laptop and coded some. Believe it or not, but through all the pain and everything my brain just really wanted to program and thinking about the problem helped get me through the misery.
I think the most likely update candidates are the Mac Mini and their display line. I'm guessing they'll finally pull their non-retina macbook pros as well.
I'm really hoping for a beastly mac mini. Something fitting as the smaller sibling to the Mac Pro.
Developers would need to target it...and as a developer I'm not likely to target it since it's only one android device.

New Orleans, La - There's now a $30,000 reward for information on the shooting of NOPD Officer John Passaro. The FBI announced Sunday they'd contribute $20,000 to the $10,000 already offered by Crimestoppers. Law enforcement officials are hoping the increase in money will prompt someone to come forward with information.
It's been one week since a gunman opened fire on Officer John Passaro inside the Dollar General in the Bywater. Passaro was responding to a report of a robbery when he was struck. Store employees were also inside the Dollar General at the time. "The individuals held captive by this individual were assured by him that their safety was going to be ok. He made no bones about it that he had been terminated from some business and it wasn't really about them, it was about whoever he was employed with," said NOPD Sgt. Joey Catalanotto.
NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas wants local business owners to look closely at a sketch of the person of interest, to see if this is a person they may have fired in recent weeks. Serpas says, "If you know anybody who looks like this man, 5'5 to 5'7, petite build, 140-150 pounds, medium complexion, and you have some knowledge about him being terminated recently, give Crimestoppers a call."
Aiding the NOPD in their investigation is the FBI. Not only are FBI agents combing the streets with NOPD officers, and sharing resources, the federal agency is also giving $20,000 for information leading to an arrest. FBI Special Agent in Charge Michael Anderson says, "Although the FBI is in the middle of a budget and furlough crisis, we believe this reward represents critical support of NOPD operations, the Passaro family and the City of New Orleans."
The total reward amount stands at $30,000. Crimestoppers has received some tips on the shooting, but they still need more information. "Remember, with Crimestoppers, you can remain anonymous so there should be no fear for retaliation, no fear to get involved," said Darlene Cusanza, executive director of Crimestoppers.
As for Officer Passaro, who was shot twice, Serpas says the three year veteran has a very long road of recovery ahead of him, but he is holding up well. "His spirits are good, he gets a lot of support from the police officers and the people of New Orleans. These are the times that a community rallies around its police department and these men and women do dangerous things every day and he's handling it incredibly well," Serpas said.
If you know anything about the shooting of Officer Passaro, call Crimestoppers at 822-1111.

Muscle Warfare Nuke Grape Splash Extreme Pre, During & Post Workout Mass, Volume, Growth & Anabolic Recovery Warfare Training Matrix
Muscle Warfare Nuke Grape Splash is designed to saturate your muscles with the highest potency of FREE FORM amino acids on the market, plus a multitude of synergistic co-factors. Unlike all other post workout formulas just loaded with low cost, fat increasing creatine monohydrate, NUKE contains raw essential amino acids (one your body cannot produce and needs from diet) that get instantly absorbed and utilized in the body. Unlike whey protein, these aminos do not need to be broken down to get to work on triggering powerful anabolic recovery processes. Also loaded with BCAA's, high quality carbs and without stimulants, Nuke induces muscle pumps, endurance and energy beyond comparison. Remember, it's NMDA enhanced, plus theres no creatine, no fillers, no fluff and no B.S.
Muscle Engorging Size, Strength and Recovery Agent Triggers Massive Anabolic Activity Before, During & After Workouts
Nuke is a patent pending, ultra high tech advancement in pre, during and after workout sports nutrition. It will help fuel your body with powerful, scientifically validated myogenic nutrients and free form amino acids that may dramatically enhance your performance and recovery! This formula is Caffeine free and is perfect when used in concert with Napalm or even by itself when trying to avoid stimulants altogether. Nuke combines cutting edge technologies that saturate your muscles with cell hydrating, glucose shuttling, plasma expanding nutrients that provide profound muscle recovery and anabolic support. Once you start using it, you will immediately feel the difference.
Here is how it works:Upon ingestion, Nuke works fast, via high molecular density glucose polymers, to shuttle active ingredients into the bloodstream. This is achieved with our remarkable Glycero-LOAD technology. This powerful technology replenishes muscle glucose stores and further helps muscle stay fully hydrated. During workouts, this is essential for maximum performance. The shuttled nutrients now saturate muscles with a scientifically developed and balanced blend of free form essential amino acids and powerful synergistic cofactors. Keep in mind that most other formulas on the market use a lower cost whey protein blend, then claim its constituents on the label, but do not use pure free from amino acids. However, free form aminos are used in Nuke as they are much more rapidly assimilated by the body to exert powerful anabolic effects as shown in countless scientific studies. Specifically, the mTOR/PIC-3 and HSP pathway is targeted by our blend and enhanced via Leucine and Glutamine/Arginine cofactors. This effect is further supported by the remaining essential free form amino acids, which as their name implies, are essential for the anabolic growth and muscle repair process.
Nuke also incorporates powerful HSP (heat shock protein) stimulating technologies that synergize with free form amino acids and enzymatic refueling composite for unparalleled support. Mitochondrial biogenic agents stimulate the muscle cell powerhouse to ramp up energy and increase the number of these mitochondrial power centers. NMDA is the final and most powerful catalyst to the anabolic equation. This remarkable amino receptor regulates hormonal output and may dramatically support increases of growth hormone, testosterone, IGF-1 and IGF-2 during and after your workouts. This combined formula provides unmatched support for enhanced workout performance, recovery and muscle growth.
Nuke is a high potency formula that may be mixed in water or your favorite sports drink. To assess for tolerance, begin consuming Nuke by mixing 1 scoop in your beverage of choice, 30 - 45 minutes prior to working out. Continue to sip throughout your entire workout and 30 minutes after. Very experienced users may use 2 - 3 scoops. Do not exceed recommended dose.
Cycle Info: Use for 2 - 3 months before taking a 1 month off cycle. Pyramid dosing at the beginning and end of your cycle.

Countdown to The Citadel: 10 days
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The intensity level of practice clearly picked up today as the team shifted gears getting ready to play The Citadel in Charleston, S.C., Sept. 3.
Around the field: An early punt by Garrett Mohr even got a "wow'' from head coach Kerwin Bell … running backs were smooth going through their paces … defensive backs and wide receivers got very physical with each other in one-on-one drills … cornerback Andre Addison spent the day making receivers work for every ball they were able to catch … quarterback Josh McGregor appears to be throwing the ball as well as he has since camp started earlier this month. He hit wide receiver Kendryk Boyd on a beautifully executed long play with the ball floating into Boyd's arms.
What they're saying: "The Citadel is going to be physical, we've got to get physical. We only have nine or 10 days left.'' – Defensive backs coach Danny Verpaele.

Acting Knesset Speaker Binyamin Ben-Eliezer plans to ask Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu to report to the legislature on the escalating violence in the West
On Sunday, Meretz chairwoman Zehava Gal-On asked Ben-Eliezer to
summon Netanyahu to the Knesset and report what the government planned to do
about the situation in the West Bank.
The prime minister must explain to
the public what he planned to do to prevent a third intifada, Gal-On wrote on
her Facebook page.
"While Netanyahu is wallowing in the swamp of
coalition negotiations, the diplomatic freeze, which is his fault, continues, as
do the failures of his government, which brought the territories on the verge of
catching fire," she said.
The Meretz leader said it would be appropriate
for Netanyahu to "take a break from questions of equality in the burden of
[national] service, which has turned into the most important thing in recent
Ben-Eliezer said later on Sunday that he would ask Netanyahu to
report how the government planned to deal with the issue.
According to
the Labor MK, US President Barack Obama who is to visit Israel next month, will
probably push for a peace process as soon as possible, regardless of whether or
not there is a coalition.
Ben-Eliezer also told Ma'ariv that a third
intifada was likely to be more violent than the previous two, and could affect
the stability with neighboring countries.

*The Secret History of the American Empire: Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and the Truth about Global Corruption, by John Perkins. Dutton Adult (2007).
In the post-9/11 era, a cottage industry of progressives-turned-foreign
John Perkins is another bestselling author writing with the aim of undoing past misdeeds, except that he's traveling in a decidedly different direction. In 2004, Perkins's Confessions of an Economic Hit Man struck a chord with Americans increasingly wary of the war machine. The memoir tells of Perkins's time serving "the Empire", engaging in all manner of skullduggery against
The Secret History of the American Empire picks up where Confessions left off, and it's clear Perkins still has a lot to get off his conscience. He details more of his own sordid activities, and publishes accounts from other mercenaries and "jackals" whose behind-the-scenes activities helped implement
One could legitimately call into question some of the "secrets" revealed. After all, many of his sources speak on the condition of anonymity, and many of their allegations are not (and indeed can not) be confirmed by the author. In parts, too, Perkins tells prolonged personal tales of dubious relevance to the overall narrative. So, for instance, we hear all about the time Perkins, while attending the World Social Forum in
If Perkins provides us too much information in parts, he leaves us wanting more in terms of solutions to the predations of what he calls the "corporatocracy". After spelling out in no uncertain terms his belief in the utter destruction being wrought by global capitalism, his vague prescriptions for activism and his copious anecdotes about the spiritual and ecological wisdom of the Dalai Lama make for an underwhelming punch line. Perkins brings important hidden history to light, but it will remain for others to enlighten us as to the secrets of undoing the domination of the American Empire.

Types of Admission
All applicants must have an earned bachelors degree. (Exceptions: see "Second Masters Degree" and "Seniors Taking Graduate Course Work.") Applicants must meet the university requirements for admission as either degree seeking or non-degree graduate students. They must also meet the admission requirements for the school in which they intend to pursue graduate work, which may exceed the universitys minimum requirements.
Degree Seeking
This is for applicants who want to obtain a masters degree from UT Martin. Degree-seeking applicants who do not already have an advanced degree must meet the minimum GPA and qualifying examination requirements specified below for the unconditional, conditional, or unclassified category.
Preliminary admission is available to degree-seeking applicants who are currently enrolled in their final semester for a baccalaureate degree at an American university/college. The Graduate Studies Office must have received official qualifying exam score(s) which equal or exceed the minimum requirement, current transcript (official or unofficial) from the institution they are currently attending, and one official transcript from any other colleges/universities attended previously.
Upon receipt of these materials, the Graduate Studies Office will calculate the cumulative GPA based on all coursework completed prior to the current semester. If the applicant meets all university and school requirements, a preliminary admission letter will be sent.
Unconditional admission requires at least a 2.50 cumulative grade point average (GPA) on all work attempted prior to completion of the baccalaureate degree (4.00 scale) from a regionally accredited college or university and an acceptable graduate qualifying examination score, which may vary depending on the applicant's GPA, as specified in the admission requirements of the school in which the student intends to pursue graduate work.
Applicants who have been admitted to another regionally accredited graduate school where they completed 12 or more semester hours of graded graduate work with a GPA of 3.00 or better may be exempted from the 2.50 undergraduate grade-point-average requirement.
A student may be granted conditional admission status subject to the following conditions:
Applicants admitted as conditional students may take only 12 hours of graduate coursework as a conditional student, including any hours attempted as an unclassified student in the same degree program. Conditional students must earn at least a 3.00 cumulative GPA for the 12 hours before they can move to unconditional status. Subject to the recommendation of the schools graduate committee, courses taken as a non-degree student may be applied to the 12 hours limitation--if specified at the time conditional admission is granted. For M.Ac. and M.B.A. students, no more than 6 of the 12 hours may be elective credit.
Applicants for degree-seeking status who meet the minimum GPA requirements for conditional admission but can not provide a satisfactory official qualifying exam score may be granted unclassified admission. Unclassified students may enroll for one semester only and for a maximum of six semester hours. They are subject to the same academic continuation requirements as conditional students (see above).
Continued enrollment as a degree-seeking student after the initial semester is subject to satisfactory completion of the requirements for conditional or unconditional admission in place when the student desires to re-enroll. If the student can not satisfy the conditional admission requirements, future enrollment must be in the non-degree category. The student must sign a form acknowledging this change in admission status.
A maximum of 6 graduate semester hours (with at least a B in each course) taken as an unclassified and/or non-degree student may be applied toward a degree, subject to the six-year time limit for completion of a degree.
Second Masters Degree
Applicants for admission to graduate study who have received an advanced degree from a regionally accredited college or university are subject to individual review by the appropriate Graduate Program Coordinator, the Dean of the academic unit to which they seek admission, and the Dean of Graduate Studies. Admission can be either unconditional or conditional. EXCEPTION: Applicants who already have a UT Martin masters degree will automatically be accepted if applying for a degree offered by the same school as the earlier degree.
A student may obtain a second master's degree in any of the programs offered. Courses applied toward the first degree, however, may not be applied toward the second degree. Students will take graduate electives approved by the advisor instead of repeating the required courses. The total hours for the second degree will not be reduced and a second comprehensive exam must be taken. For students seeking a second degree, cumulative GPA for the second degree is based on UT Martin coursework taken beginning with admission to the second degree program (plus the hours attempted and quality points for any UT Martin courses taken prior to admission and used to satisfy requirements for the second degree). NOTE: The current M.S.Ed. with a Major in Teaching replaces the former M.S.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction; the M.S.Ed. with a Major in Counseling replaces the former M.S.Ed. in Educational Psychology & Guidance.
In order to serve the educational needs of individuals who wish to undertake graduate study without pursuing a degree, applicants with an earned degree may be admitted as non-degree students if they have:
Non-degree students must meet all course prerequisites and receive permission to register for the course from the appropriate graduate coordinator(s).
If a non-degree student later wishes to pursue a degree, the student must:
Upon admission to a graduate degree program, a maximum of 6 semester hours of graduate credit (with at least a "B" in each course) earned as a non-degree and/or unclassified student may be accepted in a degree program. If a student is admitted into a degree program from non-degree status, the date of the earliest course approved for graduate credit will be used as the beginning of the six-year time limit toward completion.
Transient Students
A student who has been admitted to a masters degree program at another institution (whether matriculated or not) and who wishes to take courses for transfer to that institution may be admitted as a transient student upon receipt of an application for admission, application fee, and an official letter verifying that the student is enrolled in a graduate degree program and is in good standing at the other institution.
The transient classification is valid for one semester only. Enrollment as a transient student in any subsequent semeter requires reapplication (no additional application fee required) and an official letter from the applicant's degree granting institution affirming that the student is enrolled in a graduate degree program and remains in good standing. A maximum of 12 UT Martin semester hours may be accumulated while enrolled as a transient student.
Seniors Taking Graduate Course Work
A senior at The University of Tennessee at Martin who needs less than 30 semester hours to complete the requirements for a bachelors degree and has at least a B (3.00) cumulative average, may take sufficient work for graduate credit to make a combined total of undergraduate and graduate credit hours of not more than 15 per semester, subject to the approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies. Business courses may only be taken if a student meets all undergraduate prerequisite course requirements and has at least a 3.50 cumulative average along with a minimum score of 500 on the GMAT.
Approval must be obtained each semester at registration through the Graduate Studies Office. No more than 8 semester hours of graduate credit may be taken by eligible seniors. Students wishing to apply graduate courses taken as a senior toward a masters degree program should consult the appropriate graduate program coordinator before registering for the courses.
The student must complete a graduate application for admission and pay the application fee.
Students admitted to graduate degree programs at The University of Tennessee at Martin may under certain conditions choose graduate elective hours from courses designed primarily for another degree program. In order to enroll in a course offered primarily for another degree program, the student must have (1) prerequisites for the course offered, (2) been recommended by the graduate degree coordinator of the student's degree program, and (3) been accepted by the graduate degree coordinator of the program offering the course.
Students may audit courses subject to the approval of the advisor and of the instructor whose class is visited. Instructors have the authority to drop a student who is auditing if the student does not satisfy the requirements as outlined by the instructor when permission is granted to audit a course. Auditors may take part in laboratory or field work only by permission of the instructor, consistent with departmental policy.
For information concerning the special fee policy for totally disabled and/or senior citizens who wish to enroll in courses for non-credit, contact the Office of Academic Records (901-587-7053).
Faculty members may be admitted to the Graduate School through regular procedures. However, the following persons may not be admitted to a graduate degree program from The University of Tennessee at Martin:
