Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.B) is one of the companies pushing the Basic Materials sector higher today. As of noon trading, Royal Dutch Shell is up $0.88 (1.2%) to $75.65 on heavy volume. Thus far, 2.8 million shares of Royal Dutch Shell exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 1.0 million shares. The stock has ranged in price between $75.35-$75.88 after having opened the day at $75.49 as compared to the previous trading day's close of $74.77. Royal Dutch Shell plc operates as an independent oil and gas company worldwide. The company explores for and extracts crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids.

Shares are down 0.5% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Tuesday.TheStreet Ratings rates Royal Dutch Shell as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.

As you may have noticed, if you've stuck around for various episodes' credits, I get a good bit of help in post-production (and occasionally while shooting) from talented editors who have donated their time to helping my show continue to get released as regularly as we can. Will Koons has done a fantastic job on a number of episodes, and today he also lent his ear, by recommending that I invite Elephant Child on the show to tape an episode. Good call, Will.
Elephant Child is an amazingly unique and fun band, before the taping Aaron warned that they would be the loudest act featured on the show, which may be completely accurate. Their music is a unique blend of styles, pulling from garage, grunge, psych, surf, punk, and many more depending on what the song may call for. Their live setup is a wall of vintage amps that I wish I could have squeezed into the red room, but the volume was too intense. Lyrically, the songs tell stories inspired by turn of the century tales of adventure and archeology mixed with middle eastern atmospheres and tradition. Narratives about phantom women and telepaths blend with brilliant musicianship from each member to create a music that feels both old and new blazing at a fever pace.
The band has released a cassette through Harissonburg, VA's Funny/Not Funny Records, and they remain an active member of the independent scene in town. They tour the surrounding states frequently, so visit their label page, and their bandcamp page to find dates and listen to their other recordings.

Billionaire Israel Englander's Cheap Stock Picks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
While we don't recommend blindly following hedge fund activity from 13F filings, we do consider these filings potentially useful for many investors. The most popular small cap stocks among hedge funds, as determined by our analysis, generate an average excess return of 18 percentage points per year (learn more about imitating hedge funds' small cap picks).
We also like to apply traditional stock screens, including the traditional value criteria of low earnings multiples, to lists of individual managers' top picks so that investors can do further research on any stocks which seem both cheap (by quantitative metrics) and interesting. Read on for our quick take on billionaire Israel Englander's Millennium Management's five largest holdings in stocks with both trailing and forward P/Es of 13 or lower, or see the full list of the fund's stock picks.
Millennium more than doubled the size of its position in chemicals company LyondellBasell (NYSE: LYB) to a total of 1.7 million shares. With demand for chemicals being correlated to broader economic activity, LyondellBasell's beta is 2.5. While the trailing P/E is low in absolute terms at 12, we'd note that the company experienced a 9% decline in revenue last quarter compared to the first quarter of 2012. While analysts expect earnings per share to rise over the next year and a half, we might prefer to look at other chemical companies instead.
Englander and his team were also buying Marathon Petroleum (NYSE: MPC), an oil and gas refining and marketing company. Marathon has more than doubled in price over the last year, which has been a hot time for downstream oil and gas companies. Revenue and earnings have been up strongly, and Wall Street analysts expect that trend to continue; with the company's earnings multiples being low (as is the case for many of its peers as well) the result is a five-year PEG ratio of 0.70. Even if we discount these high expectations, we think Marathon is worth considering.
National Oilwell Varco (NYSE: NOV) was another of Millennium's cheap picks with the filing disclosing ownership of 1.2 million shares. The oil and gas equipment and services company is another high-beta stock (specifically, the beta is 2.4) in addition to posting trailing and forward earnings multiples in the 11-12 range. While National Oilwell Varco's revenue increased 23% in its most recent quarter compared to the same period in the previous year, margins shrunk enough to drive a 17% fall on the bottom line and so, we'd be a bit worried about its prospects.
The fund owned almost 6 million shares of McDermott International (NYSE: MDR), a $2.1 billion market cap company which is focused on providing design and construction services in offshore oilfields. Its valuation gives it trailing and forward P/Es of 13 and 10, respectively, as again the sell-side forecasts that the company will recover from recent conditions which caused its earnings to fall considerably from their levels a year ago (even as sales increased). The stock is down 11% in the last year against a rising market, and 11% of the float is held short.
Englander included Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) as well as Marathon Petroleum as cheap refining and marketing companies in his portfolio. Phillips 66 trades at 9 times forward earnings estimates, and while the company's revenue did decline considerably in the first quarter of 2013 versus a year earlier, this was made up for by cost cutting with the result being a doubling of net income. Warren Buffett is a big fan of Phillips 66: his Berkshire Hathaway reported a position of more than 27 million shares in the stock as of the end of March (find Buffett's favorite stocks).
We think that refining and marketing looks like a rich hunting ground for value investors, and we'd include both Phillips 66 and Marathon as well as their peers in that category. We're more cautious of LyondellBasell, and of the oil and gas equipment and services companies: their multiples are certainly in value territory, but recent business performance has not been particularly strong. We wouldn't rule them out, and in particular, we do think that the chemical industry is worth investigating, but they do not seem as attractive at this time.

6 injured after Israeli settlers attack high school near Nablus
Published Thursday 20/02/2014 (updated) 31/03/2014 10:07
Settlers confront Palestinians in Burin in an undated photo
NABLUS (Ma'an) -- Six Palestinians were injured in clashes after Israeli settlers attacked a high school south of Nablus on Thursday, according to a Palestinian Authority official.
Ghassan Daghlas, a PA official who monitors settlement activity in the northern West Bank, said that clashes broke out after Israeli settlers attacked Burin High School.
The attack led to the subsequent intervention of dozens of villagers and Israeli forces, who fired tear gas during the clashes.
Daghlas added that dozens of Palestinian suffered from excessive tear gas inhalation, including Mohammad Thawqan, Diya Rayyan, Imad Najjar, Asim Mohammad Najjar, Walid Salim, and Ibrahim Theeb.
The injured were subsequently taken to Rafidia governmental hospital for treatment.
An Israeli army spokeswoman said that "100 Palestinians ... began hurling rocks at soldiers" while they were engaged in "routine activity" in the area.
She added that soldiers used "riot dispersal" means against the protesters.
Also on Thursday afternoon, a fire bomb was thrown towards a car belonging to a settler in the area. As a result, a large number of Israeli forces arrived on scene and closed the main road temporarily.
An Israeli army spokeswoman said that a "molotov cocktail" had been thrown "at an Israeli school bus" passing by on the road.
The violence comes a day after settlers hurled rocks at schoolchildren in the village and beat up a 50-year-old man in a similar attack on the village.
Burin is a frequent site of settler violence and Palestinian clashes with Israeli forces as it is located beside the notoriously violent Israeli settlement of Yitzhar.
Settlers frequently attack a number of local villages and prevent farmers from reaching their lands, according to UNOCHA, in addition to attacks on local olive trees themselves.
In 2013, there were 399 incidents of settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
In the last week alone, hundreds of olive trees across the West Bank have been chopped in a number of incidents targeting Palestinian farmers' livelihoods.
Over 90 percent of investigations into settler violence by Israeli police fail to lead to an indictment.
More than 500,000 Israeli settlers live in settlements across the West Bank and East Jerusalem, in contravention of international law.

'An Israeli army spokeswoman said that "100 Palestinians ... began hurling rocks at soldiers" while they were engaged in "routine activity" in the area.' To be fair, this is a reasonably accurate statement. Protecting settlers while they attack Palestinians IS a routine activity for the IDF.

Yitzhar and its outposts are home to the most dangerous halfwits in Israel (well, Palestine, really). It's the home of Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg who argued Baruch Goldstein's Hebron killing spree was a pious act observing Halachic principles (to wit: "sanctification of God's name", "saving life" (!) "revenge", "eradication of the seed of Amalek" and "war".)

CRAB ORCHARD (WVVA) -Crab Orchard Museum has a significant wagon worthy of rescue and the Virginia Association of Museums has a program to focus attention on artifact preservation, but the museum needs the public's help to call attention to the project.
"If our mission is to preserve and promote Appalachian cultural heritage, artifact preservation must be at the heart of that mission," says Charlotte Whitted, Executive Director. "If we lose significant artifacts to time and the elements, we lose the foundations and the proof of the stories we tell."
The Commonwealth of Virginia began a project in 2011 that offered museums and archives an opportunity to raise awareness for endangered artifacts. This program, run by the Virginia Association of Museums and the Virginia Collections Initiative, is called Virginia's Top Ten Endangered Artifacts. It works to help museums to gain support in their quest to preserve and restore their artifacts. This year, the Historic Crab Orchard Museum entered an artifact that was selected, along with 21 others, to be considered for Top Ten Status.
The program allows and encourages participation from the people in the communities the artifacts are nominated in; as well as the Top Ten, there is also a People's Choice award. Everyone is encouraged to log on to www.vatop10artifacts.org
Voting began on August 1st and will last until August 29th; there is no limit to the number of times an individual can vote.
All of the artifacts will be reviewed by an independent panel of judges who will make the final decision about which artifacts will be placed in the Top Ten; if two entries are seen as equally important, the People's Choice voting can work in favor of one artifact over another. The final Top Ten List will be released in September 2012.
The artifact nominated by the Historic Crab Orchard Museum is a wagon that would have been used between the years of 1880 and 1910 to carry rocks and other materials to repair roads. This wagon was used in Tazewell County and it was likely used in the construction and repair of the Wilderness Road/Fincastle Turnpike; the road used by migrants in their journey to the West. This road became Rt. 19/460, which runs in front of Crab Orchard Museum.
The rock wagon is one of two used for this purpose that are still in existence. It is in need of repairs, but the iron is the original and is in pretty good condition. The wood and wheels are in need of serious repairs; the Museum hopes to use the Top Ten status, if it is selected, as a way to raise money and awareness so that the necessary repairs can be made. "Woodworker Richard Vogel has offered his assistance in repairing the wagon and is helping to locate a wheelwright too. Our members and volunteers recognize the value of this artifact and are enthusiastic about the possibility of saving it."
The museum encourages those who appreciate our regional history to vote on-line. "Vote early and vote often," says Whitted. "This is a chance for national attention to be drawn to the significance of Appalachian heritage, and we are competing for that attention with other significant artifacts and prominent institutions across the Commonwealth. With your help we can shine a light on this end of the state."

Tucson police officer on probation loses job
By Associated Press

Originally published: Aug 22, 2013 - 1:15 pm
TUCSON, Ariz. -- A Tucson police officer still in the probationary phase of his employment has been fired.
Police said Thursday that investigators determined Benjamin Gaballa falsified a report, engaged in misrepresentation of facts to his supervisor and mishandled evidence.
Gaballa was hired by Tucson police last September.
After completing academy and field training, he was assigned as a patrol officer.
Pima County Jail personnel told police that a female prisoner accused Gaballa of inappropriate conduct with her.
During the investigation, Gaballa was removed from duty and placed on imposed leave.
Police said the criminal investigation into Gabella's actions continued.

Residents in the unincorporated areas of the County brought in nearly 3500 used tires during free recycling events in 2010. Events were held in Fallbrook, Spring Valley, Lakeside and Ramona. The recycled tire material is used for playgrounds, as a base for synthetic turf, and paving County roadways. Rubberized asphalt concrete is quieter and lasts longer. It's truly a case of "where the rubber becomes the road."
Since the State banned disposal of whole tires at landfills in California in 1993, the County of San Diego has offered amnesty days and public education for recycling and disposal of tires funded partially through state grants.
"This is a great way for people turn a problem into something useful," said County Supervisor Dianne Jacob. "Instead of filling up landfills, these old tires will be shredded and re-used to top our roads and create safe mulch for gardens and playgrounds."
Illegally abandoned tires continue to be a problem on County roadways and throughout the rural areas of the unincorporated area - especially in the Tijuana River Valley where hundreds of old tires have been recovered during a series of weekend cleanups. Tires are an excellent breeding environment for mosquitoes - a known vector for West Nile virus, malaria, and encephalitis. In addition, the threat of fire and further illegal dumping is always a critical concern in the region.
Residents are typically allowed to recycle up to nine tires per vehicle. Tires must be reasonably clean and free of excessive dirt or other foreign matter. Inside tire diameter size is limited to 16.5 inches. Tires mounted on rims, large truck tires and tires from business or commercial sources are not normally accepted without prior arrangements. Additional information is available by calling the County's Recycling and Household Hazardous Waste Department at 1-877-R-1-EARTH (1-877-713-2784).
These one-day events are sponsored by the County of San Diego Recycling Program and a grant from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle ) with additional support from the the various community organizations and school districts where the recycling events are held.
Watch for future free tire recycling events in 2011.

Scientific Inquiry and Reasoning Skills Intro
It's easy enough to memorize a chart using all the mnemonic devices you know. It's simple to recall scientific information and spit it out on a multiple-choice exam. It's something else entirely to reason, apply, analyze and evaluate, which are skills that you'll need to be able to demonstrate in med school. Heck! Forget medical school; these skills are important when you're actually in practice as a physician (which is the goal, right?) Scientists from every arena use these kinds of skills daily, so it's natural that the AAMC would want you to be able to showcase these skills, not just the content, on the MCAT 2015.
The MCAT 2015 Tests Two Things:
- What you know
- How you can use that knowledge
The "What you know" portion of the exam comes from the content associated with four separate test sections:
- Biological and Biochemical
Foundations of Living Systems
- Chemical and Physical
Foundations of Living Systems,
- Psychological, Social and Biological
Foundations of Behavior
- Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills.
The "How you can use that knowledge" portion comes from the scientific inquiry and reasoning skills you've picked up along the way in your undergraduate pre-med work. *Note: Although there are four test sections, only the science sections assess the skills mentioned here. The Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills section assesses a completely different set of skills. Get more information about them by clicking the link above.
Why Scientific Inquiry and Reasoning Skills?
Demonstrating the Scientific Inquiry and Reasoning Skills allows you to display your understanding of scientific concepts, your ability to use scientific principles for problem-solving, and your skill with the usage of scientific data and methods. These are the four major categories of skills tested:
- Skill 1: Knowledge of Scientific Concepts and Principles
- Skill 2: Scientific Reasoning and Problem Solving
- Skill 3: Reasoning about the Design and Execution of Research
- Skill 4: Data-Based and Statistical Reasoning
The Usage of the Scientific Inquiry and Reasoning Skills
These skills will be tested throughout the three science sections. (The Critical Analysis test section uses a different, separate set of skills.) You will not be given sets of questions underneath each skill, unfortunately. That would be nice for testing strategy purposes! Instead, the questions that assess each skill will be scattered throughout the content of the exam, so each Foundational Concept will be tested using all four of the scientific skills.
Scientific Inquiry and Reasoning Skills Wrap-Up
Click the links for each of the skills above to get more information about what you'll be required to demo on the MCAT 2015. You'll see a sample question and specific abilities necessary under each heading. Then, get practicing. Although you've already used these skills in your undergraduate work, expressing them on a standardized exam is much different! Plan at least six months ahead of your test date so you can score the highest you possibly can.

This company is a rip off They took money out of my Account and suppose to put it back but did not and been giveing me the run around for a long time please dont deal with this company Please If you know what good for you
runnie 3/25/13 1:15PM
I purchased a Roku online from the official website. I ordered on February 19th and never received it. When I called the 888-600-7658 number I was told that it had been returned back to the shipper. I requested a refund or that a new equipment be sent to me. Customer Service indicated that they couldn't do it because they have not yet received the original equipment. I do not have the equipment, never received it and on the USPS tracking it clearly says that it was sent back a while ago. So clearly it is lost, not my fault. They don't want to reimburse what I paid nor will provide a new equipment until they receive it. I received a case number but this doesn't help at all since they refuse to reimburse what I paid UNTIL they receive the equipment. This is very poor customer service. I was planning on purchasing several more equipments as gifts for the family but now I will not.

I purchase a Roku at Best buy and called Roku customer service for installation. Agent Paulina offered an extended warranty for the equipment for $19.99 and I purchased. My Roku worked for a couple of weeks and then did not work because the distance signal for my wireless connection. I returned the Roku equipment to Best Buy and my money was refunded without any problem. I did not have the same with Roku, I contacted customer service and I was told that my money will not be refunded. I will referred my complaint to Consumer Affair & BBB. we cannot permit to have company like this that have business deceiving customers. I encourage everyone to do the same and report all complaints. Poor service. No a company to trust.

Purchased a Roku unit. Received it and installed it in a flash. But the content of the channels that were available were not what I wanted. Called for Return Authorization and had to wait for "agent" to go through a sales spiel. Finally got authorization. Returned unit via USPS tracking. Company said they never got it, then they said they got it. Then I was told credit to be issued in 7 days, then 9 days, they 10-15 days. Finally called credit card company and disputed the charge. My credit card company told me that charge would remain for 60 until Roku cleared it. They never did. They also don't know how to handle credits for returns. Very poor business practices. Never again. BEWARE.

He had 11 receptions for 49 yards and 1 touchdown through the first four games with Orton at QB and he only had one reception for 2 yards (against Chicago) over the next 14 games. This has me wondering if a running back that can catch the ball out of the backfield should be a top priority for the Broncos this offseason. Did Fox/McCoy not trust McGahee to catch balls out of the backfield?

Securus Payments
Last Updated: February 3, 2014
Top Processors | Get Rate Quotes | Write a Securus Payments Review
Securus Payments Overview
Securus Payments (securuspayments.com) is a Portland, Oregon-based merchant account provider offering credit card, debit card, and EBT processing for businesses. There is some evidence that Securus is an ISO of First Data. Launched in 2009, the company also offers loyalty and gift card processing, merchant cash advances, wireless processing, POS systems, ecommerce payment gateways and more. Its primary clients include retailers, restaurants, e-commerce businesses, gas stations, supermarkets, and hotels. Securus Payments is located at 7724 SE Aspen Summit Dr., Suite 300, Portland, Oregon 97266 and is a registered ISO/MSP of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in Walnut Creek, California.
Securus Payments Sales & Marketing Tactics | C-
Securus Payments appears to utilize in-house telemarketing and independent sales agents to market its services. Although common in the credit card processing industry, the use of independent sales agents is often a cause for complaint among merchants, as it can be difficult for any company to regulate the conduct of independent sales entities. Securus appears to be no exception, as we have located numerous negative Securus Payments reviews that describe misrepresentation of rates, nondisclosure of terms, and aggressive or manipulative tactics by Securus sales agents. Additionally, some of these complaints have been filed by former employees of the company alleging a lack of support for agents, non-payment of owed residuals, and an unprofessional workplace.
The Securus Payments website also contains a table promoting swiped rates "as low as 1.49%" and internet/MOTO rates "as low as 2.19%." While it's entirely possible that these quotes accurately refer to the company's "Qualified" rates, the website makes no mention of the "Mid-Qualified" and "Non-Qualified" rates that merchants would pay for the majority of their transactions. We consider this type of rate quoting to be deceptive, since it could give merchants an unrealistic expectation of the effective rate they will pay. Multiple merchant complaints confirm that there is sometimes a difference between the rates represented by agents and the rates ultimately paid to Securus.
[Related: Get quotes from a provider with "A" rated sales practices]
Securus Payments Costs & Contract Terms | C-
According to merchant complaints on this site and elsewhere, the standard Securus Payments agreement appears to be a three-year contract through First Data with an early termination fee of $495 and other miscellaneous fees, including a monthly minimum of $20, a PCI compliance fee, and a statement fee. The payment processing rates appear to follow a tiered pricing structure and may not be appropriately outlined by sales agents in all cases. Merchants also report being locked into expensive long-term equipment contracts as an undisclosed condition of their merchant agreements. These terms appear to be slightly more expensive than industry averages, resulting in a "C-" grade in this category.
Securus Payments Complaints & Service | C-
We are currently able to locate at least 20 Securus Payments complaints, many of which accuse the company of being a ripoff or a scam. Common themes among complainants include deceptive or high-pressure sales tactics by sales agents, expensive contract terms including high, undisclosed termination fees, and difficulty reaching customer service representatives. Many merchants indicate that their greatest expenses while processing through Securus are related to their equipment leases, which can cost thousands of dollars to cancel. This is a rather high complaint rate for a company that has only been active since 2009. The company lists a direct phone line on its website, but it is currently unclear whether and to what degree First Data handles the customer support for Securus Payments.
Securus Payments BBB Report | F
Securus Payments is not an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). As of this review, the company has an "F" rating with the BBB and has had 96 complaints filed against it in the last 36 months (up from 82 at the time of our last update). Of the total complaints, 45 were filed in regards to advertising or sales issues, 46 stemmed from problems with the company's products or services, three involved billing or collections disputes, and two were related to guarantees or warranties. Securus managed to successfully resolve 24 of the complaints; the remaining 72 were either not resolved to the customer's satisfaction or not responded to at all. The BBB has posted a notice on the company's profile stating that Securus Payments has informed the BBB that it will not respond to complaints filed through the BBB. This explains the high number of unaddressed complaints, but does not reflect positively on Securus in any way. In this case, we agree with the grade assigned.
Bottom Line
Securus Payments rates as a substandard merchant services provider according to our rating system. The company's overall rating suffers from complaints about its sales practices, its contract terms, and its complaint resolution record. The company's refusal to respond to BBB complaints, in particular, has lowered its score dramatically. Merchants are advised to examine their contract terms carefully and only deal with agents they trust.

Science is, ideally, a self-correcting enterprise. Built into the very framework of the evidence-based model of scientific inquiry, whether it be experimental or observational evidence, is the idea that all scientific ideas are tentative, to the degree that a really good idea can be amended (or even completely overthrown) by new evidence that contradicts the scientific model.
This means that the history of science is littered with failed hypotheses ... some of them quite ingenious ones, which were held onto by scientists for quite some time.
Consider, for example, the notion that the universe on cosmological scales was eternal and unchanging, a concept which took pretty firm hold with the work of Aristotle (not that he originated the idea ... please don't send letters!). Though this concept had to be modified a bit when Copernicus pushed the heliocentric model, Galileo Galilei discovered moons around other planets, and Sir Isaac Newton realized that heavenly bodies were moved by the same law of gravity that governed matter on Earth, the concept of a fundamentally eternal cosmos still held such significant sway that Albert Einstein felt the need to tailor his equations to create a cosmological constant explicitly for the purposes of maintaining a static universe.
Today, it is hard to think of a more antiquated scientific picture than the idea that our universe has existed in its current state for all of eternity.
It is unrealistic to believe that everything science believes today will continue to be believed into the future ... and I frankly know of no scientist (except perhaps Sheldon Cooper) who believes such a thing. New evidence will cause scientists to revise the thinking and models, and the understanding of reality will shift accordingly. This is as it should be.
But which current assumptions or theories are, here and now, most ready to be retired?
That's the question posed by this year's "annual question" over at Edge.org. You can find the responses from the 176 respondents - amazing intellects from all over science and academia - over at the website, and they are all extremely fascinating. Here are a few particularly relevant to physics:
- Sean Carroll discusses how the notion of falsifiability as a criteria for scientific status is an idea that needs to be dismissed, along with a great historical analysis of the concept itself, the context in which philosopher of science Karl Popper introduced it, and why it is no longer helpful.
- Andre Linde presents the idea that our universe is neither unique nor uniform, two ideas that are still assumed in much of our scientific thinking.
- Max Tegmark argues against the concept of infinity ... despite the fact that he was "seduced by infinity at an early age."
- Freeman Dyson suggests retirement of the concept of the collapse of the quantum wavefunction, because this concept is usually invoked in a way that gives the impression that the quantum wavefunction is itself a physical object.
- Lee Smolin offers that physicists need to move beyond the idea that the moment of the big bang was the first moment of time, trying to develop cosmological theories that incorporate a pre-big bang period in hopes of making progress in areas where we are currently stifled.
- Lawrence Krauss wants physicists to abandon the idea that the laws of physics are predetermined, and recognize that there exists not a single "one true theory" that nature is compelled to follow, but rather a range of possible physical laws ... some of which actually apply to our universe and to the region of our universe in which we exist (and can observe).
Again, I do really recommend that you read through these responses yourself. Though I'm inclined to be most interested in the ones related to physics, honestly some which fascinate me the most are the ones that offer to transform our assumptions not about physical reality but instead about human nature. As much as physicists sometimes can make jokes about the "squishy" sciences, on this list I've got to admit that the biologists and neuroscientists have some truly fantastic assumptions about being human that I'd like to see be abandoned ...
In the weeks to come, though, I will be returning to this list again and again, discussing some of the physics-related suggestions, the merits to them, and discussing where some of these assumptions came from and why we should keep them (if I can come up with such an argument).
Note: In the interest of fairness, I should point out that the psychologist Alex Holcombe's response for a scientific idea to be retired is, in fact, the very concept that science is self-correcting. While I agree with his many challenges to the self-correcting systems in science, I don't agree it's ready to be retired (or perhaps I just hope it's not).

When did the scientific method become about consensus?
Is truth derived from mere quantity of opinion?
The only thing that needs to be retired is the giving of power to authoritarian ideas.

Beware of scientific associations with lots of members and an agenda! They hold back everybody. In another field, medical science, we have thought control bodies that refuse to accept evidence. For instance I have friends with Chronic Lyme. They cannot kill off the borrelia bacteria even after several years but lots of doctors refuse to believe that chronic Lyme even exists and most important, their association refuses to acknowledge it. Researchers have found borrelia in mixed biofilms on diseased heart valve but they insist that borrelia does not make biofilms! They have grown both borrelia on its own as a bacterial biofilm in the lab and as a mixed biofilm but again, the powers insist that that this does not happen in nature. These people are clearly mad (but not mad scientists). Another interesting note, people can see borrelia exiting red blood cells after about 15 minutes of live blood analysis but again, the powers that be might argue that the spirochete is some other genus.

In an update on the WrestleMania 30 location, the early candidates right now are Los Angeles, CA and Madison Square Garden in New York City. In recent years, WWE has outgrown arenas for WrestleMania and have been running the event in stadiums.
The idea with holding the event at MSG is they've held WrestleMania 1, 10 and 20 at the arena so some within the company are pushing to continue that 10-year tradition. The plan would be to jack up ticket prices to an "insane" amount", knowing they'd still sell out the arena and would profit off a huge gate due to the ticket prices being so high.
The downside to running MSG would put WrestleMania in the same market two years in a row. That's not really something they want to do.

Identifying With Role Models
Walk into your teenager's room and you're likely to come across posters of teen idols wearing too much makeup and too little clothing. You may spot an item of your child's clothing lying around and you wonder, "How did I ever let my kid purchase such a thing?"
Clearly the personalities that teens today model themselves after are a far cry from the cast of The Brady Bunch. Yet with the television and media exposure and peer pressure that teens are faced with, it's no wonder that they dress, act, and look the way they do.
"Children choose models for themselves as early as the preschool years," says Dr. Amy Beth Taublieb, a clinical psychologist in Buffalo, NY. "The type of models changes with the developmental level of the child."
In Taublieb's experience, many teens choose models for themselves who they see as having particular characteristics that they --the teens -- are lacking. For example, a teen who perceives herself as unattractive may choose a supermodel as a role model. In the event that a parent feels there is something wrong with the role model their child has chosen, the parent needs to "look at the choice as a symptom of what is really going on psychologically," says Taublieb. "Try to figure out what the teen is trying to compensate for by choosing that model, then address that issue directly with the teen."
Whatever the reasoning may be for a child choosing a particular role model, parents may be faced with an uphill battle if they don't like what they see. "Television and media make it really hard to parent," says Ilona Lachterman, mother of three teenagers. "I want certain standards in my family, and pressure from TV and peer pressure work against me sometimes. I try to draw the line at some point when I vehemently disagree with a mode of dress or behavior," she says. "Yet at the same time I try to compromise so that my kids don't stand out too much."
She works at remaining loyal to her beliefs while allowing her kids to model themselves or dissuading them from imitating certain behaviors and looks. "My kids seem to go with what's trendy," Lachterman says. "I know I can't win every battle. I just try to figure out what I can and can't compromise on and I try to stick to those decisions."
It is possible for the media to have less effect on teens than parents may fear. "If a young person has emotional/psychological security as well as open lines of communication with parents, the actual influence is minimal," Taublieb says. "We can take the foundation we gave them early on and reinforce it by watching with them and discussing what they watch."
"Kids today have an impossible standard of 'look great, be cool, act cool now and at any expense,'" says Bettie B. Youngs, Ph.D., author of the "Taste Berries for Teens" series. "Today's teens need to hear from each other that it's OK to look great, be cool and act cool, but the standards for it, and the time table in which it must be done, is not at the expense of mental or physical well-being."
When faced with these difficult situations, parents don't always have all the answers. "We need to support and respect parents whose children have become prey to contemporary dragons, and honor that in today's times, parents need and want help," Youngs says. Parents need to confront the fact that they are overwhelmed with the dangers that teens face so that they don't remain in the dark as to what is going on. Using books where teenagers are the positive role models is a good way to reach teens and provide them with positive models they can identify with, Youngs says.
While teenagers often choose role models because they truly want to be like those they've chosen, sometimes role models are selected as a means of defiance. "My son knows I can't stand this one rock star that all the kids seem to be listening to these days," says Rochelle, mother of a teen. "I think he put up the posters and bought the CD's just to aggravate me. I just tried to let the whole thing pass, but still let him know how much I disliked what the rock star stood for."
"Preteen and teen years are characteristically years of rebellion," Taublieb says. "The kid chooses a role model whom they hope or know will horrify their parents. During these situations the best thing for the parent to do is act appropriately horrified. Try to tolerate that hideous poster on the bedroom door -- that is a relatively safe way for the child to rebel."
Despite how it may appear, parents are the first and most powerful role model for children. "When kids look elsewhere, they look to parents for their reaction to this new 'role model,'" Taublieb says.
It's reassuring to think that the foundations parents provide their children when they are young will see them through yet another difficult stage of parent-teen relationships. "I hope that I've sent the right message to my kids in terms of what actions and appearances to copy and what not to," says Lachterman. "I can't deny that they are teenagers and we won't agree on everything. Right now I'm satisfied knowing that though they may look to a movie star for modes of dress, they'll also look to an Olympic athlete and learn perseverance and satisfaction from a job well done."

Does OneNote have a send-to email address?
I'd quite like to switch to OneNote from Evernote because the Windows versions are a lot better, but the main thing I like about Evernote is that there's a send-to email address and I can't switch to OneNote without it. Currently I can email something to [username and random letters]@m.evernote.com and it will appear in my account. Is there a way to do this in OneNote? I would use the mobile app to create notes, but it's a terrible experience on iOS.

Sleep studies are a series of tests that help evaluate what happens to the body during sleep. Sleep studies are done to diagnose sleep disorders, which typically include:
What happens during a Sleep Study?
Sleep Disorders Center
Moore Regional Hospital
Sleep Disorders Center
Montgomery Memorial Hospital
Sleep Disorders Center
Richmond Memorial Hospital
A Sleep Study is simple and painless and is conducted in a comfortable bed in a private bedroom at FirstHealth Moore Regional, Montgomery Memorial or Richmond Memorial hospitals. Dime-size sensors attached to different points on your body provide a continuous record of your brain waves, muscle activity, leg and arm movements, heart rhythms and other functions as you sleep.
Stretch bands may be placed around your chest and abdomen to measure the effort you make to breathe. A bandage-like sensor will be placed on your finger to measure your oxygen level.
How long does the study take?
Usually, you will arrive between 8 and 9 p.m. the night of the study and leave by 7 a.m. the next morning. However, your sleep may also be studied the next day through a series of naps offered at two-hour intervals. This study, known as an MSLT test, measures daytime sleepiness that is often associated with sleep apnea or narcolepsy, which is a neurological disorder.
What are the benefits of a Sleep Study?
A Sleep Study records many variables of sleep. Measurements of the amounts of deep sleep you get help determine causes of insomnia. Awakenings, breathing cessation (sleep apnea) and abnormal heart rhythms will be recorded and help your physician target treatment. Untreated sleep disorders can lead to potentially life-threatening situations. Untreated sleep apnea, for example, is associated with increased risk of stroke and heart attack.

Anglers in Northeast Oklahoma get a chance to show off some big fish on Saturday, but there was no rod and reel for these fishermen.
Noodling - or hand fishing - means anglers use nothing but their bare hands, and weigh in was Saturday for the 2nd Annual Route 66 Noodling Tournament in Commerce, Oklahoma.
Participants must obey all Oklahoma Fishing, Wildlife and Waterway rules and regulations concerning noodling, and fish must be turned in alive to qualify.
First prize for the biggest fish was a plaque and $100.
This year's top weigh-ins included a father-daughter duo.
Colby Morrow's first place fish was a 53 pounder. Her dad, Terry Morrow, placed second with a 51 pounder.
"I'm hoping more girls will get involved," says Colby Morrow. "It's not anything we can't handle, I promise. It's exciting. It's a rush and I think more people will be involved with it next year."
The event was held in conjunction with the 2nd Annual Commerce Days and included other attractions included a carnival, arts and crafts, and food vendors.

Valdosta - The number of vehicles on Valdosta streets is soaring. "We are experiencing a huge growth, and we see no end," said Von Shipman, Traffic Engineer.
But surprisingly, the number of accidents isn't. "We are now at a level that is similar to what was existing back in the early 1990's," said Shipman.
Traffic Engineer Von Shipman recently conducted a study that looked at traffic growth over the past 14 years and the most accident-prone intersections. The results show a slight increase in accidents between 1994 and 1997, but since then, the numbers have fallen and held steady. "Considering the growth we've had, we think that's a good barometer of what we've been able to do," said Shipman.
Shipman credits the decrease in accidents to continual road improvements by the city. "We don't wait for accidents to materialize before we start the ball rolling for improvements; we keep our eyes on critical intersections where there's congestion, and we try to mitigate it," said Shipman.
For more than five years now, the intersection at North Valdosta Road and Country Club Drive has seen more accidents than any other intersection in the city. But recent construction improvements, like widening and realigning the turning lanes, have cut the number of accidents nearly in half. "Approximately 50 less crashes have occurred at that intersection on a monthly basis since the project was completed," said Shipman.
As drivers, we often get frustrated with all the road construction around town, but its projects like these that are making our daily travels more convenient, and safer. "While it might mean you have to drive a little out of your way, we feel like it will save people time, it will save people frustration," said Shipman.
And most importantly, it will save lives.

Delicious food. Cooked to order. Ample portions. And, very reasonable prices. (By the way, FLAP JACK'S was non-smoking well before the State ordered it everywhere else.)
Flap Jack's is a not a "fast food" restaurant. We always use quality ingredients and prepare good meals, then serve them as fast as we reasonably can. Food is not prepared in advance awaiting your arrival - getting stale and cold until you get here. Flap Jack's does not precook items to keep under a heat lamp or in a container over steam. We cook your food after you order. With seating for 65, when Flap Jack's is full or nearly full, it will take some time to prepare your order. Because it's prepared after you order. Thousands of customers over the past 15 years believe it is, has been, and will be, worth your wait.
Thanks for visiting Flap Jack's Minong, northwestern Wisconsin's premiere breakfast and burger house.

New London – Police said Friday the president and vice president of a local motorcycle club are wanted for a stabbing early Saturday morning at the club's hangout that left one man with life-threatening injuries.
Jose Roman, 34, of 241 Elm St. and Juan Baptista-Roman, 31, of 5 Lorenzo St., Waterford – the president and vice president, respectively, of the WildStyle Riders Motorcycle Club – are wanted on charges of first-degree assault and carrying a dangerous weapon.
Police said the men are brothers.
Saturday's 3:30 a.m. fight sent Anthony Swift, 26, of New London to Yale-New Haven Hospital with life-threatening injuries from the stabbing. Others injured in the fight were Henry Albino, 31, of New London, who suffered cuts to the ear and neck; Miguel Albino, 33, of New London, who may have broken his leg as he fled the fight; and Jairo Perez, 28, of Guilford, who sustained injuries to the face and head when he was hit with a large wooden object.
The injured men, in interviews with police, reported having been inside the motorcycle club hangout at 130 Bank St. when a large fight broke out and spilled into the building's parking lot on South Water Street.
The arrest warrants for Roman and Baptista-Roman each carry a $400,000 bond, police said.
City officials ordered the clubhouse shut down Monday because it did not have the proper permit to operate a members-only club in the downtown business district.
