This Kid Just Died [VIDEO]
"Grief porn enters the Facebook era" "And, like regular pornography, the internet has transformed it. Freed from the already relaxed constraints of tabloid journalism, grief porn is no longer obligated to fake newsworthiness or importance. You don't need to die in a particularly tragic way; your death doesn't need to be the occasion for punishment or law-enactment. You just need to have produced consumable, shareable content before your untimely death. Rather than a news angle allowing a writer to smuggle grief porn into a paper, a grief-porn angle allows a content creator to smuggle a shareable unit onto Facebook." An interesting essay by Kelly Conaboy, ironically on Gawker.

Queer Birds
Birds, like quite a few other animals, can exhibit Gynandromorphism. Homosexual behavior in birds is also common. The phenomenon of avian spontaneous sex reversal has been well-documented, starting with Aristotle. Now modern researchers have uncovered yet another way in which birds are hacking sex roles: scientists think white-throated sparrows may actually be evolving a second pair of sex chromosomes.
People think making art is easy ...
Sarah's Scribbles creatively balances several delightful influences. In an interview last winter, Sarah C. Andersen said her charming, silly, misanthropic, self-doubting, and relatable web comics (including her first "truly 'viral'" success, "Waking Up") have connections to Yotsuba (note: reads right to left) and Ponyo, plus Calvin and Hobbes (many previously). In comments this month associated with an FML, she added early Winnie the Pooh to the list and also mentioned where to find her illustrations in another style under another name. Her recent work for College Humor combines her comics with light essays. [more inside]

Feminism and Censorship
"The idea that in a free society absolutely everything should be open to debate has a detrimental effect on marginalized groups," writes Niamh McIntyre on a proposed, protested, and then cancelled debate on abortion organized by Oxford Students for Life. The Oxford abortion controversy, argues Lizzie Crocker, is the latest example of an increasingly common instinct among certain feminists to argue that certain subjects and certain arguments are either off limits or simply not up for debate.

"A good story is a good story, period."
Anyway, I had just finished reading a story I thought was really bad; I closed the book and said to myself, "I can do that." I realized quite a bit later that I had given myself permission to write a bad story, but nevermind. I wrote a story in a notebook, the three-ringer lined paper kind, and I rented a typewriter. At least I knew it had to be typed double space, but that's all I knew. I had never met a writer and there wasn't a wealth of how-to books back then. I used the anthology for a clue about where to send the story and came up with Astounding Magazine. I sent off the story, and while I had the rented typewriter I wrote another story in the same notebook, copied it and this time sent it to Amazing. John Campbell at Astounding Magazine sent me a letter of acceptance along with a form to be notarized stating that it was an original story and I was the writer. I had no idea that that was not standard, and followed the instructions, and presently I received a check. I bought the typewriter with it.For Amazing Stories, R.K.

Exciting New Developments in Slurping and Drooling and Hurrrr
For over sixteen years, the webcomic Jerkcity (previously over twelve years ago, wow) has provided beloved characters and (largely worksafe, except for maybe #191 and #5014 although they lack nudity) vulgarity. But more recently, the Jerkcity experience has been expanded by collaborative fan efforts that have been integrated into the main site (along with other site updates like tags and dialogue transcripts): redrawing project Jerkcity HD (some comics NSFW) and audio dramatization project Jerkcity Hi-Fi (if you're using headphones, you might want to turn them down a little when you listen).

On Wed Nov 19, 2014, in an awards ceremony emceed by Daniel Handler-aka-Lemony Snicket, Ursula K. Le Guin gave "the most ferocious speech ever given at the National Book Awards." Le Guin's acceptance speech for the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters touched on the Amazon vs Hachette throwdown and the practice of art in an age of capitalism. Video.

Right now, I think we need writers who know the difference between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art. The profit motive is often in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable; so did the divine right of kings.

Women in Academic Science: A Changing Landscape
A new paper in the journal Psychological Science in the Public Interest Provides a detailed and comprehensive look at the gender gap between men and women in academic science.
Their (surprisingly optimistic?) conclusion?: Barriers to women's full participation in mathematically intensive academic science fields are rooted in pre-college factors and the subsequent likelihood of majoring in these fields, and future research should focus on these barriers rather than misdirecting attention toward historical barriers that no longer account for women's underrepresentation in academic science.

This spider rollin', they hatin', and tryin' to catch it to host larvae
The (Golden) Wheel spider is a huntsman spider native to the Namib Desert of Southern Africa. Like most other huntsman spiders, Wheel spiders don't spin webs, but build burrows in the sand that are reinforced by their silk, in an attempt to hide from their primary predators, the parasitic Pompilid or Spider Wasp. Enter the gymnastic abilities (and source of the name) for the Wheel spider, where the spider will curl up and roll down slope up to 1 meter per second to escape. But Wheel spider isn't the only huntsman to utilize a unique method to flee down hill. There's also the Moroccan flic-flac spider, named for the flic-flac motion of some gymnastic maneuvers (German video; turn on captions and translation for some assistance; description in English). The movement of this spider have inspired some robot designs (more information). And there are other "wheeling" insects, because it's faster to roll than run downhill. If the documentary footage of the Golden Wheel spider is all too serious, here are some clips of the Wheel spider set to music: let the good times roll, and this spider rollin' they hatin'.
Quite Pretty Until the Shoveling Starts
[Chewie pauses by a pier-glass to slick down his hair]
In 1978, the first draft of The Empire Strikes Back was penned by a writer named Leigh Brackett. She passed away shortly thereafter and the script underwent a number of changes, first by George Lucas, before Lawrence Kasdan developed the final and more well-known screenplay. Brackett's initial draft is available for download here. The blog at starwarz.com highlights some of the more notable changes, such as Darth Vader not being Luke's father (though Luke's father appears as a character as a ghost Jedi on Dagoba), and a distinct lack of Boba Fett and carbon freezing.

'that's when it ... got started: When I began thinking I was special'
Since September 11, 2001, according to the START terrorism database, there have been twenty lethal terrorist attacks in the United States, resulting in the deaths of forty-six people. There have been, at most, a handful of assassinations. According to the FBI, from 2001 to 2011, there have been nearly 250 mass shootings, defined as the death of four or more people. According to USA Today, whose data on mass shootings is considered at least as reliable as the FBI's, there have been 191 mass shootings since 2006, with 34 described as "public" shootings—seemingly random events, stranger to stranger. Nearly a thousand people have died; many more have been wounded. What America feared after the 9/11 attacks—that it would be perpetually attacked by outsiders calling themselves Americans—finally has transpired, only with an awful twist: It is perpetually attacked by Americans who call themselves outsiders.[more inside]
One of the oldest questions we have about ourselves.
Personhood Week: Why We're So Obsessed with Persons, by Virginia Hughes (@virginiahughes), National Geographic:
"People have been trying to define personhood for a long time, maybe since the beginning of people. The first recorded attempt came from Boethius, a philosopher from 6th-Century Rome, who said a person was 'an individual substance of rational nature.' Fast-forward a thousand years and Locke says it's about rationality, self-awareness, and memory. Kant adds that humans have 'dignity,' an intrinsic ability to freely choose. In 1978, Daniel Dennett says it's intelligence, self-awareness, language, and being 'conscious in some special way' that other animals aren't. The next year Joseph Fletcher lays out 15 criteria (!), including a sense of futurity, concern for others, curiosity, and even IQ."[more inside]

Tchotchkes of our inner lives
There is more to passwords than their annoyance. In our authorship of them, in the fact that we construct them so that we (and only we) will remember them, they take on secret lives. Many of our passwords are suffused with pathos, mischief, sometimes even poetry. Often they have rich back stories. A motivational mantra, a swipe at the boss, a hidden shrine to a lost love, an inside joke with ourselves, a defining emotional scar — these keepsake passwords, as I came to call them, are like tchotchkes of our inner lives. Ian Urbina looks at The Secret Lives of Passwords for the NYT Magazine. (Possible trigger warning - opens with Cantor Fitzgerald looking for passwords the day after 9/11.) [more inside]
How to Endear Yourself to an Asian Woman Writer
Here Be Dragons
People in the US are usually surprised when I say that my Thai mother lives in Ireland. "How did that happen? That's so strange." Strange, and their little laugh that accompanies the statement, are code for their assumptions about the education and mobility of this foreign woman of color, who in this case is my mom. She most recently worked for Salesforce, a fast growing tech company headquartered in San Francisco. When she moved to Singapore it was to work for Intel, another large tech company. She is ambitious and accomplished. She defies the stereotypes. My dad runs up against a different stereotype. That he, a white American man, lives in Thailand is not unusual. White American Men have more world-conquering powers according to a general, Western, unexamined assumption of normalcy.

Biofilm-protected bacteria account for some 80% of total bacterial infections in humans and are 50 to 1000 times more resistant to antibiotics than simpler bacterial infections. Biofilms often persist beneath an intact, healthy skin layer and the difficulty of their treatment is largely due to the outermost layer of the skin being a natural barrier for drug delivery.
A unique class of materials, known as ionic liquids, neutralizes biofilm-forming pathogens and delivers drugs through the skin. Studies show that in several cases, ionic liquid is more efficacious on a biofilm than a standard bleach treatment. This has excellent prospects for aiding antibiotic delivery to the pathogen through biofilm disruption and the ionic liquids themselves are quite effective for pathogen neutralization, explained David Fox, a Los Alamos National Laboratory researcher on the project.
The team examined a panel of in-house synthesized ionic liquids and enabled the discovery of one ionic liquid, choline-geranate, which showed excellent antimicrobial activity, minimal toxicity to epithelial cells as well as skin, and effective permeation enhancement for drug delivery. Choline-geranate increased delivery of cefadroxil, an antibiotic, by 16-fold into the deep tissue layers of the skin without inducing skin irritation.

Gold eases but on track for first weekly gain this month
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Gold gave up early gains and ticked down on Friday ahead of talks to prevent the United States from plunging off a "fiscal cliff" of tax increases and spending cuts, but prices remained on track for their first weekly gain in a month.
Failure to clinch a deal in the U.S. would likely spur safe-haven buying of bullion, but since many investors have both equities and gold in their portfolios, the metal may also track stock markets higher if the White House and Congress finally reach an agreement.
Gold fell $1.58 to $1,661.71 an ounce by 0649 GMT after rising to as high as $1,665.99. For the year, gold is up around 6 percent, but well below a record of around $1,920 hit in September 2011, when a worsening debt crisis in Europe sparked a buying rush.
"We do expect a ... deal to happen at the last minute, but it will be a minimal deal," said Dominic Schnider, an analyst at UBS Wealth Management in Singapore. "I think that should be gold supportive."
President Barack Obama will meet congressional leaders at the White House on Friday to try to revive negotiations to avoid tax hikes and spending cuts - together worth $600 billion - that will begin to take effect on January 1.
Even a partial agreement on taxes that would leave tougher issues like entitlement reform and the debt ceiling until later could be enough to keep markets calm.
U.S. gold for February eased $1.20 an ounce to $1,662.50.
In other markets, the yen fell to its lowest level in more than two years on Friday, lifting Japanese stocks to 21-month highs on expectations of drastic monetary easing, while shares in the rest of Asia rose as Washington races to avoid a fiscal crisis.
The euro held steady against the dollar at $1.3243 with investors waiting to see whether a last-chance round of U.S. budget talks will achieve a deal.
Gold is traditionally a safe-haven and inflation hedge that investors rush to in times of trouble, but it has lately behaved like any risk asset. The precious metal sometimes rises and falls with the stock market and even follows movements of the dollar.
Gold is heading for a 12th straight year of gains on rock-bottom interest rates, concerns over the financial stability of the euro zone, and diversification into bullion by central banks.
Global gold demand in 2013 should be led by further strength in Chinese demand and a recovery in India, helping the precious metal continue its bull run into its 13th year, the industry-backed World Gold Council has said.
Premiums for gold bars were unchanged in Singapore at $1.0 to $1.20 an ounce to spot London prices.
"Of course there's some buying but you don't see heavy activity. Indonesia is pretty quiet, which is partly because there are not many stocks available in the market," said a physical dealer in Singapore.
"India hasn't been very active for some time," said the dealer, referring to the world's main gold consumer.

In thinking about the possible implementation of a mobile app that would identify a person's location based on wireless access points, I stumbled across a potential problem.
To put it into context, my university has WAPs in every teaching/lecture room, and this WAP would be used to identify the room they are currently in. However, it could be that that mobile device is in range of more than one WAP at a time - for example, one in the classroom and one in the corridor outside - so I am wondering if there is any way of identifying individual WAPs within range, given that from a UI perspective, often it is just the network itself that is shown?
And if identified could the signal strength of each WAP be measured individually?
Note: This would also need to be usable for guests who likely would not be able to actually connect to the network.

On behalf of the entire Marygrove College family, we want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! http://t.co/qDirnjlD70
"Ann has always gone the extra mile in what she has done for the community," said H. L. (Jack) Myers, village manager. "Our community has been enriched by the presence of Ann Feeney as an actively involved citizen and role model for all our community members."
"Being chosen to be a part of the Chelsea Charter Commission this year was a privilege and an honor," said Feeney. "But I would be stretching it if I said that anything was more important than sustaining a good marriage for 45 years and raising a family to be well-adjusted adults. The fact that I had the freedom to pursue goals outside of the family was an added bonus."
Feeney and her husband moved with their six children from Detroit to Chelsea 31 years ago, and that charming village hasn't been the same since. In fact, the village is about to become a city, thanks in large part to Feeney's efforts. Many people were involved in the successful petition drive that brought this about, but Feeney is one of only three charter members of the Chelsea City Ad Hoc Study Committee, formed in 1992, who stayed on as it became a City Committee and finally the Chelsea City Charter Commission. She is now an elected member and secretary of this commission. City status will confer a number of political and economic benefits to the community.
In 1976 Feeney was elected to her first four-year term on the Chelsea Board of Education, which oversees the 2000 student, Class A school district. She served until 1991 as board member, secretary and president with a one-year hiatus.
As executive director of the Chelsea Chamber of Commerce for 10 years, Feeney developed business materials, produced a newsletter and oversaw several innovative programs. She also established the Leadership Chelsea Program to prepare local business people for leadership roles in civic and community-based organizations, and worked with the Chelsea Rotary Club to begin the Christmas Festival of Lights.
Her dedication to her community is also hands-on. Feeney began volunteering at the Chelsea Retirement Community in 1986. She became known as the "Tuesday donut lady" after a weekly treat for one elderly woman grew to two, then three, and eventually three dozen women. She also worked with the Chelsea Home Meal Service for 30 years, as treasurer and volunteer driver delivering meals.
Until recently Feeney chaired the Chelsea Community Foundation. Following her philosophy of not staying in any position too long, she recently turned the chair position over to the vice president, and will now assume that role. She is also director of the Chelsea Area Transportation System, which provides rides for seniors, special education students and the disabled.
"Any one of Ann's achievements deserves recognition," said her sister, Mary Moore Hubbell '56. "Taken together, they reflect a woman of remarkable energy, commitment, drive and intelligence who is an effective advocate."
Feeney attributes her competence to a somewhat surprising philosophy. "It may sound simple, but the one thing that has brought me the most benefit is learning to keep my counsel. In other words, keeping my mouth shut ...(but not always, of course)... in a meeting, in marriage, parenting, with friends. It is amazing what you learn," she said.
"I am passionate about participatory democracy and the freedom it allows us in America," says Feeney. "It allows us to take responsibility for the choices we make, which is a great power over our lives."

O golden cup of life,
A chalice full of love,
The space beyond all strife
You form our sacred home,
Your ways produce delight,
Your life becomes our own.
My spirit shall rejoice in God
Who breaks my chains of guilt and fear;
For God upholds each person's worth
Throughout the ages of this Earth.
I support very much the call to 'create new memories' for Christmas and I believe the place to begin is with children. However, one of the best known children's Christmas carols is 'Away in the Manger', and this much loved carol has many wrong messages imbedded in the words. The second verse of the traditional words speak of Jesus 'looking down from the sky' and the last verse has Jesus up in heaven and the singer requesting him to 'fit us for heaven to live with you there'. I believe my third verse takes the dualism and the 'away' Jesus out and replaces it with the Biblical teaching of very last verse of Matthew – 'And I will be with you always, to the end of the age'. This surely is the Gospel.read more
When Christmas comes it brings great joy;
This story of a baby boy;
The birth of life – divine event
That tells us all of God's intent
To be at one with human life,
In all its beauty, all its strife.
If cobwebs fill the corners
That lurk within our mind
Our faith can help us brush aside
Each clinging thought we find
We are children of the Cosmos,
We are subject to its laws,read more
The Cosmos in all its wonder
SINGS A MAGIC SONG.read more
Charge our hearts with wonder,
God of sheer delight,
As we sense your presence
Filling day and night.
If Heaven is more than simply a place,
If pictures of God evolve evermore,
If love is affirmed as life's highest grace
The mystery remains, the sacred expands
To gift compassion's transforming embrace.
When masks of God both age and die,
With intervening deities,
As doctrines lose their rigid hold
And freedoms grow like forest trees
Leave behind illusion's ways
Culture plants within the mind,
Clothed in vestments of the faith
Masking truths we need to find,
No one can share my inner space;
There I am alone, yet not alone,
For you are there, O God,
Deeper than my thinking,

Marshall adds talent, leadership to Sounders FC
Tyrone Marshall has taken a leadership role with Sounders FC, the defender's fifth Major League Soccer team.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
TUKWILA — Tyrone Marshall has moved on. Four times.
The fourth was a farewell to Toronto FC, which traded the defender to Sounders FC in February. Marshall spent about a season and a half with Toronto, joining the team during its first year of existence, 2007.
Then came the trade to Sounders FC, Marshall's fifth Major League Soccer team. The 34-year-old native of Jamaica will return to Toronto this weekend with his new team to face his old one.
Excuse him for not being the least bit bitter about being dealt away.
Everything has so far worked out fine for Marshall. He's reunited with his coach of several years with the Los Angeles Galaxy, Sigi Schmid. He's a starter on the MLS's trendy, new team, which happens to be in first place. And he fulfilled his desire to return to the U.S. to play, and now has a home in the Seattle area for him and his family.
"I was excited. I couldn't wait to get going," Marshall said this week when asked about the trade. "I know what he [Schmid] is about. I know the type of coach he is and the personnel that he has around him. He brings in winners, and that what he's shown so far."
Marshall is no pushover on defense. He's physical and savvy, exactly the qualities Schmid wanted in bringing a veteran leader to the Seattle defense during the offseason. And Marshall isn't just MLS-tested — he has made 60 appearances for Jamaica's national team.
"He's just pretty steady, and he knows what to do," teammate Tyson Wahl said. "He's seen a lot of situations and plays and kind of knows how to work through some problems."
Marshall has been a part of two MLS Cup-winning teams. He has also been a two-time MLS All-Star, and was an instant hit with Sounders FC teammates when he reported to the team with a Mohawk haircut.
Schmid has watched as Marshall has matured.
"He was always a very athletic player, and as he's grown older, he's become a little better at dividing up his talents in terms of when to be athletic and when to be tactically aware," Schmid said.
But it was what Marshall brings to Seattle off the field that impresses Schmid most.
"Tyrone's a good guy in the locker room," the coach said. "He's a guy that other players get along with, and with my history with Tyrone, the locker room is very important to the success of a team."
It doesn't appear likely that Marshall will get a hero's welcome in Toronto. The fans at BMO Field pack the soccer-specific stadium and are right on top of opposing players throughout matches. Many do their research about opposing players and will probably have a thing or two to shout at Marshall.
"If we can take the fans out of the game, that plays to our advantage," Marshall said. "The longer we can play and keep it zero-zero or have a goal or two [lead], that will definitely play in our favor, and at the end of the day if we win the game, the fans can cheer as much as they want."
• Sounders FC's travel squad for the Toronto game, which departs today, is made up of 19 players. Eighteen can be activated for the match, and up to 14 can play. Only three substitutions are allowed per game.
• Schmid shortened Wednesday's practice because of weather.

Are you pushing to make things happen in your life right now? Are you feeling backed up against the wall? And what's the wall for you? Time, money, a relationship? It can be difficult to find your peaceful center when you feel you have to try so hard to make things happen. The question is what is driving you?
If your quick response is about success, paying the bills, making quota, buying some new thing to add to your "stuffology" collection, you might want to dig a little deeper. Have you ever contemplated having those things without working so hard? Pushing hard for things can come from deep-seated beliefs about being inadequate, needing to work hard to feel valuable, and needing to work hard for money, to name a few.
For example, if somewhere in your psyche is an imprint picked up long ago that you're not enough, you will run yourself ragged trying to be enough. Maybe getting lots of credentials so others will "see" you and what you have to offer. Or perhaps working incessantly, never taking a vacation or spending time with family and friends, and still never feeling like you're doing enough.
If this is you, you have to stop the madness! Take a personal inventory of your deepest held beliefs about the things you give most of your attention to. Are they serving you or are they running you ragged? Are you feeling uplifted and peaceful as you write and review the list, or are you feeling sad, angry, frustrated? If it's the latter, those emotions are telling you something you need to listen to. You can choose differently at any point. In this case, the change will do you a world of good!
Are You Impatiently Awaiting Your Good?
It can sometimes be difficult to trust and allow our good to come to us. We wait patiently at first, but then we get anxious, wondering if we've done enough, prayed enough, believed enough, affirmed enough. In fact, we probably have. What we haven't done enough is released attachment to the timing of the outcome. We're still trying to be in control and impatiently demanding that it happen when we believe it should happen.
This poem by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (May 1, 1881 – April 10, 1955), French philosopher and Jesuit priest, might help you rest more patiently for that which is coming your way:
Above all, trust in the slow work of God
We are quite naturally impatient in everything
to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something
unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through
some stages of instability -
and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you,
your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste.
Don't try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time
(that is to say, grace and circumstances
acting on your own good will)
will make of you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be.
Give God the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.

"Barratt Court is our new extra care housing scheme, providing 40 self-contained apartments for people requiring specialised amenities and support.

Barratt Court aims to provide a home for life. It supports residents in retaining their independence by offering a flexible level of care to suit changing needs. It is primarily designed for older people with a care or support need, or for those with a sensory or physical disability. For example:
* an older person who needs help with tasks such
as bathing, dressing or with meals
* someone who, because of a disability, needs help
to live independently
Residents' assessed care needs are provided for by the on-site care agency Hica, including a 24-hour response to emergency calls. A scheme manager is also available on weekdays between 9am and 5pm, to support and encourage the wellbeing of residents and ensure that facilities at Barratt Court are maintained to the highest standard"
