Marvin Lewis vowed a changed Bengals organization after taking over as head coach of the Bengals. How right he was? The Bengals added their four new defensive starter in less than a week by reaching a four-year, $14.4 million agreement Sunday with former Raiders cornerback Tory James.
James was considering re-signing with the Raiders along with possibly joining the Vikings. But the Bengals offer along with Lewis's strong pitch to bring him to Cincinnati convinced James to accept. James joins middle linebacker Kevin Hardy and defensive linemen John Thornton and Carl Powell in the revamped Bengals' defense.
James deal includes a $3.7 million signing bonus and a first-year salary of a little more than $2 million.

How we change what others think, feel, believe and do
Ventricular System
Explanations > Brains > Parts > Ventricular System
Ventricles | Cerebrospinal fluid | Dysfunction | See also
The brain contains a series of small hollow chambers called ventricles.
There is one large lateral ventricle in either hemisphere. The third ventricle is central and forward, whilst the fourth ventricle lies further back and below (in the hindbrain). The third and fourth ventricles are connected by the cerebral aqueduct (also called the Aqueduct of Sylvius).
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Ventricles are filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which also fills other gaps around the brain as well as the central canal of the spinal cord. CSF also fills the sub-arachnoid space in the protective meninges sheath.
A major use of CSF is in cushioning the CNS. The brain weighs about 1400g (three pounds). By floating the brain in this fluid, this mass is reduced to about 80g in effect.
It also helps avoid excessive pressure in the skull by draining away when pressure increases. This also helps ensure that the blood supply to the brain is not cut off.
CSF is extracted from the blood and manufactured by modified ependymal cells in a special tissue called the choroid plexus, which extends into all four ventricles. It circulates through the third and fourth ventricles before passing out into the rest of the brain and spinal cord.
The CSF in the system is constantly replaced, with a 'half life' of about three hours. It drains back into the blood via arachnoid granulations.
Obstructive hydrocephalus is a condition where flow of CSF is interrupted, such as where a tumor constricts passages or where a child is born with a small cerebral aquaduct. This results in enlargement of ventricles as the CSF is unable to escape. If not treated, this can be fatal.

Is your shoe size the same as your ring size? They say that is usually the case.
My ring is a 6 and my shoe is also a 6.
I never really thougt about it but my ring size is 7 and my shoe size is 7.5
Shoe: 8.5
Ring: 7.5 8 on 1st finger.
Never knew that was said. Interesting.
I am not really sure...my shoe size is a 7, but I think my ring size is a 6. Good question!
No, ring size is 7 and shoe size is 8. Close though.
yes shoe size 11, ring size 11 awesome analogy.
"Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action Mother Teresa."
Well, ring size 6 1/2 and my shoe size is 8 1/2 to 9. Depends what kinda shoe.
Doesn't hold true for me. Shoe size 10 ring size 8.
Oldest daughter, shoe size 9, ring size 6 1/2.

7.05am, another money-eating internet machine, New York New York Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Well folks, it's been hovering around 104 degrees F the last three days here. Later today I'm heading to Edmonton to start a two-week block in Canada, and I am looking forward to the cool change. But first, my report from last night. Every visit to the USA I seem to find myself in an interesting spot at an interesting time. Eight years ago yesterday, the 11th of September, I was in Washington Square, New York. Last night I was sitting in a cab on the Las Vegas strip, waiting on a green left turn light. I'd was finished a set of in-store tastings at the fabulous Whole Foods markets around 7 pm and dropped into Pallazzo (second tower of the Venetian) to drop a parcel off at Lavo (severely glamorous Italian-style restaurant and Roman bath-style club), then headed home for the Excalibur.
What sounded like firecrackers going off turned out to be bicycle police firing at a car that was trying to get away. Inside two minutes flat the place was literally covered with every shape and size of law enforcement vehicle, and we squeezed out the sidestreets to leave it all alone. Probably a good time to go work in Canada!
But good things to report from the capital of glitzy glam out here in the desert. The list of conventions actually here and scheduled for the rest of the year are many and varied, and the town is visibly fuller than it was. Show tickets are harder to come by – always a good indicator. (By the way, try getting a seat for the new Hugh Jackman & Daniel Craig show in New York, "A Steady Rain", which opens end of this month.)
Also, we caught up with old friends who are doing OK at some very sharp addresses, but I'll catch everything up tomorrow in Edmonton – my day chained to the computer. Until then, keep your head down!
See ya.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) -- The state's budget crisis is hitting the state's universities as well. Here at Southern, and at Eastern, Western and Central as well, they are now in a hiring freeze.
According to the
Hartford Courant, this comes at a time when there are already not enough professors.
Governor Dannel Malloy's big plan for higher education reform brought down administrative costs by five and a half million dollars. They were going to use that money to hire new professors, but now Malloy's budget cuts take back seven million from the state universities. That's the reason for the hiring freeze.
Malloy is cutting UConn's budget by $10 million. The Courant says UConn's trustees have no plans to stop hiring.

Visiting Assistant Professor
Office Address:
NMSU Department of English
MSC 3E, P.O. Box 30001
Las Cruces, New Mexico 88003
Biographical Statement
I joined the English Department at New Mexico State University in 2012. Among my primary research interests are the intersections of the socials sciences and Nineteenth-Century American Literature, and American Indian literatures and mythologies. My dissertation investigates the influence of anthropology upon narrative in novels, autobiographies, and travelogues by several nineteenth-century American writers, including Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and John Rollin Ridge (Cherokee), and my master's thesis investigates the role of compulsory assimilative boarding schools for American Indians as a metaphor for Medieval subjecthood and nation-building in Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Currently, I am researching the incorporation of, and reactions against, anthropological definitions of traditional American Indian beliefs in novels of the American Indian Renaissance.

No child growing up in the 1950s or 1960s could consider his or her Christmas complete without an annual viewing of Gian Carlo Menotti's Amahl And The Night Visitors, the first opera specifically composed for American television. This fifteen-year tradition ended in 1966, when the rights to a 1963 taping reverted to Menotti, who refused to allow this version (one which he disapproved of) ever to be shown again, thereby depriving later generations of one of the most extraordinary of holiday memories. An imperfect VHS-to-DVD transfer of a 1955 black-and-white kinescope is currently the only in-print version available to parents wanting to share the Amahl experience with their children, or boomers wishing to relive childhood memories.
Amahl, a shepherd, tries to tell his mother about what he has seen outside; an enormous star with a long tale. His mother, used to his habitual lying, grows angry; she is even angrier when Amahl tells he that a knock at the door is three kings come to visit them. The kings enter and tell the two peasants that they have come to find a king, and they show the rich gifts they have brought him. While Amahl's mother is out gathering wood for the fire, Amahl asks the kings questions about their lives. The mother returns with her neighbors, and the villagers present their gifts to the visitors. That night, Amahl's mother tries to steal some of the kings' gold to use to help her child; she is caught, and when the kings offer to let her keep the gold, explaining that the king they seek will need nothing but love to rule his kingdom, she returns it. Amahl offers his staff as an additional gift, and suddenly finds that he can walk. He leaves with the kings to pay homage to the child who has healed him.
This show runs 90 minutes with no intermission, and is recommended for ages 7 and older.

I just upgraded after 7 years from an Infocus 5000 to the BenQ W1070, the difference is night and day. I can now watch movies with the lights on, which was not possible with the Infocus 5000. The picture is awesome and the price made this an easy choice. I am quite happy with this purchase.

Comments about BenQ W1070:
I bought this BenQ W1070 to replace the 720p Panasonic PT-AX200U which we had for over 4 years. We are using it mounted on the ceiling in the great room of our house with a 100" FAVIHD-100 electric screen and are blown away. The comparison to the 4 year old Panasonic is like night and day. It is very bright and the colors, picture and contrast are great even with no tweaking out of the box. It is bright enough to use during daylight with the windows open and gets even better after dark or with the drapes closed.
I love the 3D capabilities and we have watched several 3D movies and programs that have blown us away. I also have used it to play Crysis 2 in 3D (from the new iMac running Windows in Bootcamp) - which literally gives the game a whole new dimension. (3D requires extra glasses not included and extra drivers and software from NVidia for games)
While there are certainly better projectors out there (we were considering the Panasonic PT-AE800U at more than twice the price) there is none with these features (3D, 1080p, 2000 lumens etc.) at close to this price. I was afraid of the DLP since I am sensitive to the "Rainbow" effect but have not noticed it at all with this projector which has a 6x faster color wheel than my first Infocus DLP projector many years ago. It does have allot of light spillage and is fairly loud with the fans but this is not a problem for our particular setup. The remote is tiny and just about useless in the dark (no backlighting) but other than that we are very pleased. A great projector for less than half of what we were thinking of spending! I always end up buying my projectors from Projector People. They have very competitive prices and the service can't be beat!

Q:I want to play some DVD movies and an Amazon instant play movie from my computer. If I have the computer which has a Dvd player can I use that to project on the screen through this projector.Asked on 8/7/2014 by Neo Nana from Madison WI
5 answers
A:Yes, you can connect your computer or DVD or Blu-ray or cable box or most gaming systems to the projector. Please contact projectorpeople.com if you have more questions.Answered on 8/18/2014 by Projector People from Tampa
A:Yes, you certainly can, you just need the right cable.
If your computer has an HDMI output, then it's easy to just use a regular
HDMI cable. Plug in the computer and you're all set.
Most computers have DVI outputs though, so you need a DVI to HDMI cable.
Just know that DVI doesn't carry sound like HDMI does, so you'll need to
use your computer's speakers or find another way to output the sound from
the computer.
And most computers still have old fashioned VGA output which the projector
will accept as well - but again, no sound.
Once it's plugged in, the projector acts just like a monitor and you can do
anything with it that you would do with a computer, like play DVDs.
Bryan ColleyAnswered on 8/7/2014 by jupiterkansas from Kansas City, MO
A:You should be able to do this, providing your PC has an external monitor
connection which many do. If not you would have to add a second video card.
From the external monitor connect the projector to the SVGA connection on
the projector, or the HDMI via an adapter if you external monitor connection
is DVI. Some PCs even have an HDMI out which is the easiest of all.
Once the project is connected, change the display properties of your PC to
create an 'extended' desktop. If you are playing DVDs via a media player,
just drag that window on to the extended desktop and maximize it (full
screen). The same should be the case for Amazon movies. There are a few
tweaks not covered here but the most important thing to check is what your
PC has available.Answered on 8/7/2014 by Anonymous
A:Yes, you can drive the projector and watch movies/Amazon from a PC. All
you need is a standard VGA cable--one end connects to the PC, the other
end to the projector.
I run our projector from the PC at 1920 by 1080 resolution (although the
projector may be downscaling the resolution, I never see any artifacts).
No need for a TV!
Two things to think about, though:
- The image is light sensitive. It's harder to see in a bright room than
a dark room. If you want to watch movies/Amazon during the day, make
sure you have curtains to darken the room.
- You'll want to route the sound as well. I run a standard 1/8" audio
cable from the headphone jack on the PC to the stereo system to get a
nice full sound.
RobertAnswered on 8/7/2014 by Anonymous
A:You certainly can, provided that your computer has an HDMI or VGA out. You
simple need to buy a cable that will connect the two and whatever is on
your monitor will be seen through the projected image.

A:there is no tv tuner built in.Answered on 10/14/2013 by Anonymous
A:This project has no tuner. It has HDMI connections so you could use an
external tuner, but the W1070 just projects.Answered on 10/14/2013 by Anonymous
A:I don't belie any projectors offer built-in tuners, such as a flat-panel TV would. It only offers the ability to project an image from a video source, such as cable or satellite box, separate off-air HD receiver, computer, or DVD/Blu-Ray/game console.
I hope this was helpful.

A:For a 132" diagonal this Projector can be as close as 11' or as far back as 14' 5". The Projector will work just fine outdoors typically after the 8pm time frame.Answered on 7/30/2013 by Anonymous
A:It should work fine...
You can use this calculator for the distance or do what I did
When I setup mine up I just turned on the alignment grid then moved the projector to the distance that maximized the screen.
slowly move the focus control for a nice sharp picture...

A:I would not recommend this projector for that application. A 12 foot image
would be pretty large for this project. You can find out how far back using
the projection calculator for this model, my guess would be about 18 feet
but use the calculator to find out. It would have to be REALLY dark outside
to get a decent quality picture of that size. I would be looking for a
higher lumen unit. This is a great projector don't get me wrong but not my
first choice for such an application.
RogerAnswered on 7/30/2013 by Anonymous
A:It should work great. For a 132" the projector probably needs to be about
12-15 feet away. It varies with the aspect ratio of the movie you're
watching. You'll also want some external speakers to plug into it because
the speaker inside the projector sounds terrible.

A:I do not know. I have mine set up for 120'' and it looks greatAnswered on 4/29/2013 by Anonymous
A:I'm shooting in a very dark room, virtually no ambient light on to a 7'6"
surface (diagonally) from about 10 feet away. No problems at all. This is
not a ling throw projector. It throws a fairly large picture from a fairly
short distance away. If you are looking to throw a 7-9' image from 15-20
feet away this is not going to work. Also you need to keep this unit aligned
pretty much mid to the image since there is limited lens shift and movement
adjustment. Otherwise you will need to ceiling mount. Mine is sitting on an
equipment shelf about 4' off the ground, my image runs from the ceiling
toward the floor.
Overall I rate this projector very highly, it throws a great image and with
3D it's a great buy, just make sure it will work in your room, and will sit
where you want it to be. Study the projector image calculator and make sure
you have a plan on where its got to be in your room before proceeding.

A:The W1070 does have threaded mounting holes for attaching to a ceiling
mount. However the unit will be upside-down, in the basic set up screen
just set it to "front ceiling." The only problem I had setting it up
with my ceiling mount is the top of the picture is level with the lens,
but otherwise it's a great projector.
-MikeAnswered on 3/27/2013 by Anonymous
A:There are no mounting brackets or holes on the top of the projector.
There are three threaded mounting holes on the bottom of the projector
which would be suitable for mounting.

Officially, "The primary function of the Académie will be to work, with all possible care and diligence, to give our language definite rules and to make it pure, eloquent, and capable of dealing with art and science." - Article 24
(La principale fonction de l'Académie sera de travailler, avec tout le soin et toute la diligence possibles, à donner des règles certaines à notre langue et à la rendre pure, éloquente et capable de traiter les arts et les sciences.)
The Académie fulfills this mission by publishing an official dictionary and by working with French terminological committees and other specialized organizations. Strangely, the dictionary is not sold to the general public, so the Académie's work must be incorporated into society by the creation of laws and regulations by the above-mentioned organizations. Perhaps the most notorious example of this occurred when the Académie chose the official translation of "email." Obviously, this is all done with the expectation that French speakers will take these new regulations into consideration, and in this way, a common linguistic heritage can theoretically be maintained among French speakers around the world. In reality, this is not always the case.
History, Evolution, and MembershipThe Académie française was created by Cardinal Richelieu under Louis XIII in 1635, and the first Dictionnaire de l'Académie française was published in 1694 with 18,000 terms. The most recent complete edition - the 8th - was finished in 1935 and contains 35,000 words. The next edition is currently underway - volumes I and II were published in 1992 and 2000, respectively, and between them cover A to Mappemonde. When complete, the 9th edition of the Académie's dictionary will include approximately 60,000 words. It's important to note that this is not a definitive dictionary, as it generally excludes archaic, offensive, slang, specialized, and regional vocabulary.
The secondary mission of the Académie française is that of linguistic and literary patronage. This was not part of the original purpose of l'Académie, but thanks to grants and bequests, the Académie now offers about 70 literary prizes per year. It also awards scholarships and subsidies to literary and scientific societies, charities, large families, widows, underprivileged persons, and those who have distinguished themselves by courageous acts.
Essentially a linguistic jury, the Académie française is a group of 40 peer-elected members, commonly known as « les Immortels » or « les Quarante ». Being chosen as an Immortel is considered a supreme honor and, except in extreme cases, is a life-long commitment.
Since the creation of l'Académie française, there have been more than 700 Immortels, chosen for their creativity, talent, intelligence, and of course particular linguistic adeptness. This range of authors, poets, theater people, philosophers, doctors, scientists, ethnologists, art critics, soldiers, statesmen, and churchmen assembles at l'Académie into a unique group of people who make decisions on how French words should be used by analyzing how they actually are, creating new terms, and determining the beneficiaries of the various awards, scholarships and subsidies.
In October 2011, the Académie launched an interactive feature called Dire, Ne pas dire on their website in the hopes of bringing pure French to the cybermasses.

Are you the primary caregiver in your household? Being the primary caregiver can be an overwhelming task especially in a multigenerational household. I truly enjoy and appreciate all the help my mother provides me with especially on days when I am over worked or when things don't seem to be going my way. Throughout the years my mother has been my rock and now I that I am raising my own family I still try to provide for her.
Today's Hispanic Population
Currently, Hispanics make up over 16% of the total population of the country. Although many companies have made efforts to accommodate the growing Hispanic elderly population the one major thing that usually gets neglected is the people who take of them. Growing up my grandparents provided structure and cohesiveness to our large family, as in many Hispanic families grandparents tend to live with one of their children. While I do enjoy the time I spend with my mother sometimes it can be difficult to make sure everyone in my household has all of their necessities.
Hispanic adults tend to have a lower prevalence of many chronic health conditions that the US population as a whole. Even though research has shown that there is a low prevalence of chronic disease, Hispanic adults tend have a higher prevalence of diabetes than do non-Hispanic white adults and they are also more likely to be overweight. What does that mean for you? It means without the proper medical care and informational resources providing proper care for your love one will be pretty stressful.
Issues that may arise and ways to help
According to the National Alliance for Caregiving, Hispanic caregivers tend to report the most stress factors from care giving. According to "The State of the Hispanic Caregiver" 9 out of 10 caregivers feel that they need more information on a variety of caregiver topics and help managing incontinence issues.
As the impact of social media continues to rise many Hispanic families are increasing their social media and internet usage more than any other group. Although Hispanic families have a tendency to use the internet to find answers to the question they have concerning the care of their elders there still remains a high percentage that do not use the internet to obtain health care information. The internet can be a quick and effective way to find solutions to certain issues but not many websites strictly cater to the Hispanic community. Comfort Plus, Inc is a retailer that offers a variety of Tranquility products. While many incontinence products on the market today are overpriced, Comfort Plus offers top of the line quality tranquility products without the overpricing their merchandise.
www.comfortplusonline.com is a website that intends to make incontinence product selection easier. Why Comfort Plus?
Quick Facts about the products Comfort Plus offers:
Tranquility products are the most absorbent products on the market
Tranquility products provide unsurpassed skin dryness, odor elimination, and leakage protection
Tranquility products requires fewer changes due to their superior absorbency, which saves money for the user
Comfort Plus, Inc. also seeks to change how limited resources are for Hispanic caregivers. Comfort Plus Para Ti is a Spanish-language section that Comfort Plus has created to help people find correct products that they are seeking as well as helpful informational resources that are relevant to their situation.

Lentil Bread Recipe
Lentils pack a little extra protein and fiber to this fragrant and flavorful brad shared by Mike Buescher from Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Writes Mike, "I grew up on a farm where bread was baked weekly...and have been making my own bread for over 20 years. I like to experiment with all types of grains and flours to make very hearty loaves. This is a favorite."
- 3/4 cup lentils, rinsed
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 4-1/2 teaspoons finely chopped onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1-1/2 cups warm fat-free milk (110° to 115°)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 6 to 7 cups bread flour
- In a saucepan, combine the lentils, water, onion and garlic; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until lentils are tender. Cool slightly. Transfer mixture to a blender or food processor; cover and process until smooth. Cool to 110°-115°.
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, lentil mixture, oil, sugar, Parmesan, salt, whole wheat flour and 3 cups bread flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining bread flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into thirds; shape into loaves. Place in three greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 3 loaves (12 slices each).

Made this bread just before Christmas. Kept one loaf and gave other two away. Great taste, very moist. Loaves sunk a little on top, but I think I need to work more flour into the loaves next time. Will definitely make again!

This is great! I used 2 cups leftover lentil soup (buzzed in the blender) and the loaves were good tasting with a nice crumb. I'm making it again today.

A study seeking answers for the high rates of deaths and congenital abnormalities in babies of the Pakistani community have revealed that
marriage between first cousins doubles the risk of children being born with birth defects.
The study in the Asian community by the University of Bradford found that the high level of marriage between blood relatives within the Pakistani community accounts for nearly a third of birth defects in babies of Pakistani origin, a study shows.
The research found that up to six out of 100 babies born to parents in the city who are blood relations have birth defects, compared with three in 100 of those who have not inter-married.
Professor Neil Small from the University of Bradford, who co-led the research, said: "This is the first study that has been able to explore all causes of congenital anomaly in a population where there are sufficient numbers in both consanguineous [related by blood] and non-consanguineous groups to come to reliable conclusions.
"Clear and accessible information on these small but significant avoidable risks should be widely disseminated to local communities and be included as part of antenatal counselling and in the planning of healthcare services."

A Clackamas County judge issued a gag order for the suspect accused of murdering a Lake Oswego Man.
Erik Meiser is charged with murdering Fritz Hayes in September.
Last week, he sent a letter to Fox12 saying there's another murder victim who is being overlooked.
Deputies later announced that Meiser is a person of interest in the murder of Nike Fickett, a Kelso man found dead in a campsite in July.
In court today, a judge issued a temporary order that doesn't allow Meiser to talk to the press.
The judge also asked Meiser if he would cooperate with mental health professionals, after he refused to talk to one yesterday.
"I'm actually not interested in moving forward. You might as well go ahead and send me to the mental hospital then because until I am not woken up at 5 o'clock in the morning every single morning. I don't want to cooperate," Meiser told the judge.
A doctor testified that he thinks Meiser suffers from delusions and hallucinations, which may be why Meiser is so upset with his treatment at the Clackamas County Jail.
"I'm being messed with. It happens all through the day but as soon as I begin to wake up, somebody is there to say something, some skulduggery or project some semantics into my psyche, and I'm tired of it. And everyone knows it's happening and no one cares," Meiser told the judge.
Meiser eventually agreed to meet with a state psychologist.
The results of his evaluation will be presented in a hearing on Dec. 11.

6. Alice in Wonderland
Released in 1951 between Cinderella and Peter Pan, this cartoon somehow found a way to get an otherwise complicated book and make it even more confusing to children.
While we understand things such as the caucasus races and imaginary words being important to the plot, it still doesn't explain why Disney had to get all pink elephants on us.
We like to think this particular screenshot inspired American McGee's Alice.
The "mad watch" scene, while hilarious, is wrought with continuity errors, the Cheshire Cat taught an entire generation of kids to fear the moon. The creepy animals Alice encounters in the woods serve as little more than stoner-fuel.
Raise your hand if this letter confused the hell out of you as a kid.
5. All Dogs Go to Heaven
It's pretty confusing to tell kids that all dogs go to heaven when it is made explicitly clear in the film that some dogs go to Hell.
This may be part of the reason why the film was initially rated PG. The other reason, we're guessing, was because the film was unabashedly creepy as hell. Introducing children to death is one thing, but death and doggie-Hell? That's a whole different ballgame.
Not pictured: A good idea for a kids film.
4. The Neverending Story
Before "What is the Matrix?", every single adolescent on the planet was asking what name Bastian screams out the window in The Neverending Story.
Sure enough, it is the first question asked in the movie's faq over at IMDb.com. The Internet was practically invented to figure out the name Bastian's hippie-sounding mother was "Moonchild."
We're guessing they drowned it in thunder so no one could hear how lame it was.
3. Ghostbusters
If you thought Egon's warning "Don't cross the streams" had something to do with crossing over a river, don't worry. So did every other kid and adult in the theater who had no idea they were talking about, um…
Truth be told, we're kinda hard-pressed to come up with a name for these too.
"Dogs and cats, living together"
"Cross the streams!"
2. Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
We're guessing you loved this movie as much as we did as kids even if we had no idea what "patty cake" was.
Still, even the nerdiest kid in our classroom probably had no idea what was going on when the film decided to take an enormous detour to talk about freeways.
Honestly, we didn't see this twist coming.
I mean, we get it: freeways are joyless and about as un-Toon Town as you can get, and this whole twist was based on the real life General Motors streetcar conspiracy. However, if Judge Doom wanted to destroy Toon Town because he was just plain evil, we would have believed it. If they wanted to confuse us in ways that would take us years to fully understand, believe us when we say that Jessica Rabbit was enough.
1. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Simply put, we'd be willing to wager all the money in Hollywood that Keanu Reeves still has no idea how the hell Ted stole his dad's keys.

Ratan Tata visits IIT Bombay
Image description - On 8th August, 2008, the Degree of Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa) was conferred on Mr. Ratan N. Tata in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the growth of Indian industry, to the propagation of the values of business ethics and the social responsibilities of business, and to the overall growth of the country. The degree was given to him by President Pratibha Patil on 8th August, 2008.
Mr Ratan Tata, Chairman Emritus of the Tata Group, visited IIT Bombay on the 25th February, 2013 (Monday). With an illustrious career lauded with several awards and honours, Mr. Tata is truly a "ratan" of our nation. Awarded the Padma Vibhushan in 2008 and Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2009 among several other recognitions, Mr. Tata continues to inspire the citizens of this country as an indigenous hero.
An open-for-all student's interactive session was organized by the institute at Convocation Hall at 5 pm. The session was followed by a Question and Answer round. A form was floated among the students well before and only those would be answered by the Chief Guest. We received a tremendous response of about 700 questions.
Mr. Ratan Tata, in his opening speech said that the people sitting in the hall - 'We' would be leaders, scientists, businessmen of tomorrow and wished us all the very best. He also said that he was proud to be sitting here with the young and the best intellectual brains of the country.
Then Mr. Vaibhav Tamrarkar, Overall Co-ordinator of SARC had asked the questions and it went on for about an hour. It was a highly informative session and we thank the institute for providing us with such opportunities from time to time.

Alone: A Columbia culture? A study of group habits in Ferris
At Columbia, I often feel a strong sense of isolation. My friends and I are frequently too busy to spend time together, and acquaintances easily fall out of touch. I'd bet that in such a stressful school environment, others experience the same feeling.
It seems Ferris is always rather empty in the middle but packed at the single-seating bar by the walls. My friends and I used to joke, "Oh look, the 'antisocial' section is in demand!" Over time, I began to get more curious. Do we actually tend to sit alone more in Ferris? Could this say something about student culture at Columbia?
I decided to observe this behavior one day in Ferris.
What I did: On Wednesday, Feb. 5th, and once an hour from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., I counted up the number of people sitting alone and together. I selected a random sampling to approach and collected additional data, such as major and year (see more at the end). Only counts from the lower floor are included in this study. There were 98 students selected for the random survey, and 440 students were counted overall.
What I found: At first it seems there are about as many people sitting together as alone. That's cool, but it doesn't explain everything.
No significant difference—statistics explained below
Mother Columbia often forces us, for lack of space, to be right next to people even though we don't know them. What if people were sitting in groups but not interacting, only because they were unable to find seating alone? When looking at how filled each section of seating was, I found significant differences.
This new counting might suggest that at least some of the group seating observed before could be due to spillover from the single-seating section. This makes sense, then, that our earlier numbers may have been misrepresentative. (The reverse, however, is not also true: there were only two instances where a two-person group was observed in the single-seating section—all others were alone.)
I also found some correlations between college major and whether or not you sit alone.
Check out an interactive visualization of majors most likely to sit alone—static visualization shown here:
We found that major is a significant predictor (p = .014) in whether a person is alone or together. Year was not a significant factor (p = .45).
What could cause this? Group dynamics studies in psychological literature offer many explanations, but which ones make sense at Columbia? While one group study shows that sitting alone is predicted by social anxiety, others show that overbearing parents or lack of motivation to socialize can cause such behavior.
I spoke to Scarlett Tohme, CC '14 and Floyd St Bernard-Springer, CC '14—among others—while conducting the survey, and they agreed with the "lack of motivation" explanation.
"By senior year," Springer said, "I'm bored of small talk. I just don't care enough to chat with people I'm probably never going to speak to again."
With a class size averaging 1500 students—well in the small-to-medium range of colleges—it seems strange that here at Columbia we should have the perception that we will not bump into each other again.
Approaching others is difficult. Just starting conversations with random students to run the survey was challenging, even though I consistently received pleasant responses. But sometimes, even the most basic interactions help us live happier, be less stressed and even learn better.
Although this is certainly interesting to think about, these results are certainly not conclusive—they are the results of one day's worth of study. The purpose of this study was to illustratively stimulate discussion rather than to report a conclusive result. Share your thoughts in the comments section!
Fancy talk: Section-seating data is significantly different at α = .01. An F-test was run on linear regressions for each line. Sectional counts were divided by the 32 seats total in the antisocial section and 72 seats in the main section. Major results were obtained by a permutation test. Credit to my brother, Lucas Spangher, for helping me run the tests.
what the fuck is this pseudoscience bullshit? are those biology majors all non premeds? How did you even have enough people from each major? Why is the data smoothed?
What would be more interesting would be to look at the groups and see what percentage of those were people who came together vs. joined after they saw people they knewVA:F [1.9.22_1171]
I've made several friends due to talking to people in the dining halls. Often, it just takes something little like a smile or a "hi." Regardless of whether you eventually become friends with these acquaintances or not, it's definitely worth it to get to know a bit about the awesome people on this campus! And for those who say they can't be bothered, that's your loss.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
